Chu Yue raised her head and happened to see Lu Xinghe's resolute profile, and her heart suddenly beat violently.
My husband is so awesome!
Lu Xinghe had already finished talking about this, and officials who had learned about the situation early in the morning also came over.
"This brother is right. Mr. Jiang is indeed the one who caused the trouble today. If Mr. Jiang does not accept mediation, he can go to the magistrate's yamen to seek redress from the county magistrate."
According to Lu Xinghe, they did not have an advantage when it came to redressing grievances, but Jiang Yuanwai was still unconvinced. He pointed at his son and said: "Then my son is still unconscious. If there is someone evil, my old Jiang family will But with such a single seedling, how are you going to let me live the rest of my life?"
He just sat down on the ground and pretended to cry loudly.
The official frowned and felt a pain in his head. After a moment, he pointed at Zhang Zheng and said, "Young Master Jiang might ask this old gentleman to bleed your son. I think this little girl's treatment of wounds is pretty good. This old man Since your husband is her master, he must have good medical skills."
Member Jiang stopped crying, looked at Zhang Zheng, and finally nodded.
"Then I'll bother you, old man."
But before Zhang Zheng could get closer, Jiang Gaoyi opened his eyes and shouted with fear on his face, "Don't prick me, I don't want to bleed."
Huang Yuanwai, who had been silent all the time, spoke up at the right moment, "You woke up in time. I knew you were going to be bled, and you woke up right away. I guess it's fine, right?"
Jiang Yuanwai looked at his son and felt a little confused on his face, thinking that this brat was pretending to be faint.
Jiang Gaoyi immediately sat up from the ground. The bow on his head made him look particularly funny. He hugged Jiang Yuanwai's legs and said, "Dad, you have to make the decision for me. They want to kill me."
Huang Yuanwai smiled, "The official also said just now that if Young Master Jiang is not satisfied with the mediation, he can go to the county to report to the official. However, I just sent someone to inquire about the situation. If he really wants to report to the official, Jiang I'm afraid the young master will have to spend some time in jail."
Member Jiang looked displeased, "Huang Zhuangxian, we are all from the same place, why did you go so far?"
"I'm just discussing the matter." He pointed at Chu Yue beside him, "Besides, this girl is my wife's niece. If I don't help her, how can I help you?"
Jiang was surprised, as if he didn't expect Chu Yue to still have such a relationship. He snorted coldly, "Let's go home first."
Jiang Gaoyi's face was full of reluctance, "Dad, I have been beaten like this..."
"Didn't you ask for this? If you cause trouble in the future, I will have to break your legs!" After saying that, he lifted Jiang Gaoyi up and dragged him out of the Yamen.
Seeing that the Jiang family and his son finally left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
After saying goodbye to the officials, they all left the yamen together. Outside the yamen, Chu Yue turned to Huang Yuanwai and said to him: "Thank you so much for Huang Yuanwai's generous help today. Chu Yue is grateful."
Huang Yuanwai waved his hand, "Young lady saved my wife and children before, which is a great kindness. Besides, even if I don't come today, this little brother Lu will solve the matter properly and beautifully."
Lu Xinghe bowed to Huang Yuanwai, "If Huang Yuanwai were not present, today would not be so smooth."
Huang Yuanwai laughed.
"You are quite interesting, kid." He said, looking at Chu Yue, "My wife often talks about the girl. When she is free, she will go to the Huang Mansion to sit there. I will leave first."
Chu Yue said happily, "Huang Yue, walk slowly outside."
After Huang Yuan left, Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe, "Ms. sir, have you memorized the Nanyuan Law before?"
Lu Xinghe shook his head: "How can the Law of Nanyuan be accessible to ordinary people like us? I only heard Master talk about such a case when I was in school."
Zhang Zheng calmly stroked his beard at the side. He could draw inferences from one example. If he took the imperial examination route, he might be able to achieve great success in the future.
Chu Yue asked as she walked, "Is that Master still teaching now?"
"He no longer teaches. He used to be a high-ranking official in the capital. He retired due to the atmosphere of the imperial court. He was recalled by an imperial edict a few years ago."
Chu Yue snorted, with a trace of regret in her heart.
If my husband can find a good master, maybe the road to scientific examination will be smoother.
…
After spending a long time in the Yamen, it was already noon. The three of them came to a noodle stall, ordered three bowls of noodles and started eating.
Zhang Zheng's appetite was surprisingly large. He couldn't finish one bowl of noodles, so he ordered another bowl. It wasn't until he finished two bowls of noodles that he touched his belly with a satisfied expression.
Chu Yue felt a little worried in her heart. She could really afford to feed her master, who had to eat for two.
Lu Xinghe put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Chu Yue, "Yueyue, I'm going to the Xu family first. You guys wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Chu Yue knew that he must be looking for Xu Heng when he went to Xu's house, so she nodded hurriedly, "Okay."
After Lu Xinghe left, Chu Yue paid the owner of the noodle stall twenty-four cents, then handed the basket to Zhang Zheng to look at, and went to the grocery store not far away to buy seasonings.
Because Zhang Zheng was going back to Banpo Village with him, he bought more seasonings.
She bought a pound of salt, a small jar of brown sugar, ginger, pepper, coriander, fennel, cinnamon, etc. It cost a total of 260 yuan, which really made her feel distressed for a while.
After buying the seasoning, she also went to the seed shop next door to buy some more vegetable seeds, and then went to the grain and oil shop next door to weigh 20 kilograms of white flour.
Not long after returning to the noodle shop, Lu Xinghe came back, holding a stack of rice paper full of writing in his hands.
"Ms. sir, what is this?"
Lu Xinghe rolled up the rice paper and carefully placed it in the corner of his backpack, "Brother Xu collected the articles that passed the college entrance examination in previous years. Take it back and learn from it, so you can have a good idea."
"My husband is so smart." Chu Yue praised.
Lu Xinghe smiled, picked up his backpack and led the two of them out of the noodle shop.
The three of them went to the market. As the weather turned colder, the supply of food gradually became less available, and the price of pork also seemed to rise. The price of pork that used to cost eighteen cents per pound has now risen to twenty cents.
Chu Yue gritted her teeth and bought ten kilograms of pork, two pairs of pig intestines, two large pork bones, and a pork knuckle, spending a total of two hundred and forty cash.
After buying the things, the three of them went back together. If there was no such thing as Jiang Gaoyi, they might be able to help the family when they went back. If they were delayed until now, it would be nice to be able to catch up with dinner when they got back.
Originally, Chu Yue was worried that Zhang Zheng was too old to walk such a long distance, but the old man looked very energetic, so he didn't worry anymore.
As expected of a person who travels everywhere, his body is stronger than the average person.
