The other party has obviously wanted to stir up trouble for a long time! Otherwise, An Qi would not have suddenly asked for this piece of jewelry when he was about to take it away. Especially after the little maid explained the origin of the jewelry, the curvature of the corner of the county owner's mouth was unnoticeable, but it was still attracted by Jian Yu. noticed.
The other party is very satisfied with this situation!
So she did it on purpose.
Is there a feud between the two, or is the prefect dissatisfied with Anjia? No matter what it is, the county boss's attitude towards the fourth lady proves that the situation in Qingzhou is not as good as she imagined.
If the An family was strong enough, the county master would never dare to be so presumptuous.
Although it is a title granted by the county lord, this status is not very valuable. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the county lord usually granted the title to the daughter of a princess. For example, Zhou Jinyan was the prince. In the future, his daughter would be granted the title of princess, but not all princes and princesses would be granted the title. All daughters will be banned.
"She is the daughter of Princess Ting." Zhou Jinyan reminded Jian Yu of the origin of the county lord.
Princess Ting was married to Tanhua of the current dynasty by the late emperor more than ten years ago. Tanhualang died of illness five years ago. The current emperor named her daughter the head of Shouxi County. Princess Ting then took her daughter back to Yizhou, Tanhualang's ancestral home.
Princess Ting's mother-in-law had caused a lot of obstacles when the current emperor was fighting for the dragon throne, so Princess Ting did not dare to see the emperor for fear that the emperor would think of the past and get angry at her and question her, so she lived a very low-key life these years.
Therefore, although Shou Xi is the head of the county, she may be able to bully ordinary people with her power, but may not give her face when it comes to nobles and nobles.
Logically speaking, as an imperial merchant and with such wealth, the An family should not be offended by the Lord of Shouxi County.
This was also the reason why Jian Yu had speculated like that before. If the Shouxi County Lord dared to target Miss An Si in this way, he must have received a signal and believed that the An family was not afraid.
The only person who can release such information is the prefect's wife.
"The prefect's family is at odds with the An family."
Jian Yu said her guess. Zhou Jinyan's eyes flashed slightly and he sighed softly. Whose family does this little fox belong to? How can you be so smart?
He asked the secret guards to stay on guard for several days before he found out, and she could see it as soon as he met her.
"Sir, take a look at these. Some of them are husband and wife accessories. You and your wife can wear them together."
The waiter came over with a tray at this time. He deliberately avoided the dispute to prevent them from smashing the tray in their hands when they were angry. Although he wanted to watch the fun, making money was the last priority!
Hearing what the guy said, Zhou Jinyan's lips curled up.
——Yeah, it’s from my family.
Jian Yu was not in the mood to pick out accessories. She was focused on the quarrel not far away, while Zhou Jinyan looked at it decently.
The quarrel on the other end has now escalated into "manipulation". Miss An Si wanted to leave, but the county master's maid stopped her from leaving. The shopkeeper tried to persuade her, but she did not dare to pull the county master's maid away. .
Before coming, Jian Yu had inquired about the situation of the An family. There were three boys and one girl in the An family. As the fourth young lady, An Qi was quite popular in the family. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have such a weak temper. She looked like she was about to burst into tears. , actually had no temper at all.
"What does the county lord want?"
"This county wants to buy the hairpin in your hand!"
Miss An Si squeezed the hairpin in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "This hairpin was given to my mother by my grandfather before his death, and she passed it on to me. Please forgive me for not being able to part with it."
Hearing this, the county owner was obviously even more excited. She raised her lips and said, "So what if the county owner wants to buy it?!"
"Forced buying is so reasonable! In this case, we are all customers. If you buy, then I will buy too!"
"Girl, sell it to me and I will return it to you when the time comes."
Jian Yu stood up and walked over. She couldn't stand it anymore. She hated people like the county leader the most. Even if she wasn't an An family member, she would still stand out!
But before coming forward, Jian Yu also discussed it with Zhou Jinyan.
"So irritating." Jian Yu complained to Zhou Jinyan.
At this time, Zhou Jinyan took out a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants and asked, "How about these two?"
Jian Yu glanced at it and admitted that the other party was very aesthetic. After looking at it herself, she found that the two were slightly better. She nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhou Jinyan smiled and rolled his eyes, handed the jade pendant to the waiter and said: "I just need these two, go and pack them up."
"Okay, guest, you can pay as I please."
Before Zhou Jinyan stood up and went to pay, he said in Jian Yu's ear: "If there is anger, let it out, don't make yourself angry."
Jian Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard this and pointed to the Shouxi County Lord. Zhou Jinyan nodded with a smile and said, "It won't be a bad thing."
Hearing this, Jian Yu felt relieved, and walked over boldly with her chin raised. Zhou Jinyan smiled, knowing that Jian Yu had been patient for a long time.
Zhou Jinyan was very reassured about Jian Yu's fighting ability, and the place where he went to pay was at the top of the stairs. If there was any conflict, he could come over quickly. Apart from this, Zhou Jinyan was not worried at all in terms of eloquence.
Thinking of the way those noble ladies in Shengjing were afraid of Princess Jing, the smile in his eyes deepened. The little fox is so awesome!
The Lord Shouxi's face dropped when he heard that someone was standing up for Miss An. He looked up and down at Jian Yu, full of contempt for a pariah dressed like a beggar!
When Miss An Si saw Jian Yu, she secretly shook her head at her and told her not to stand out. It seemed that the other party was from out of town, and she didn't know how difficult the Shouxi County Lord was.
Jian Yu gave her a comforting smile.
"You are so impudent that you are not polite when you see the county master!"
Jian Yu raised her eyebrows and said in a loud voice, neither humble nor arrogant: "The fact that the county lord is not wearing the county lord's court uniform means that he is traveling in private. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, there is no courtesy in such an occasion."
As for the fact that people will kneel when they see officials on the road, that is purely out of fear and respect in the hearts of the people. In fact, there is no need to kneel down. Ordinary people think that doing more is worse than doing less, so they kneel down.
Moreover, many people are illiterate and do not understand the laws and regulations. They kneel when they see others kneeling, thinking that they should kneel.
The Lord of Shouxi County regarded Jian Yu as a commoner woman who didn't understand anything, and he couldn't give him such power.
"You are so brave. You dare to offend the county lord like this. Ruyi slaps you!"
Jian Yu directly stretched out her hand to stop the opponent's arm, and then slapped him back hard.
The snap made everyone present stunned. Jian Yu shook her hand. She had known better than to make a move. The effect of force was reciprocal, and her hand hurt a little.
Fortunately, I had a bowl of wontons when I entered the city, otherwise I wouldn't have the strength.
"I am a decent citizen! I am not a slave who can be killed at will! If the county lord takes action, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who hurt others without reason will be punished according to the severity of the injury, ranging from ten big boards to three years in prison. In serious cases, they will be executed!"
After Jian Yu came to this world, she studied the law thoroughly.
"The county master said that I offended you. I don't know where I offended what I just said? If I get beaten today, I will definitely go to the county government to file a complaint! If the county government doesn't care, I will go to Shengjing. I don't believe this is an unreasonable place!"
"When the time comes, I will also tell everything and let everyone comment! The emperor said that the emperor is as guilty as the common people when he breaks the law! What about the county master? The county master cannot ignore the law! Treat human life as nothing!"
…
Jian Yu said with a crackle, which made the Lord of Shouxi County fall backwards in anger.
The current situation is obvious. Jian Yu is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. When the time comes, she, an ordinary woman, doesn't care about her reputation, but the county boss does!
No matter what happens in the end, the county owner will be the one who suffers the loss.
Moreover, the whole matter actually has nothing to do with Jian Yu, which makes it easier for her to stand on the moral high ground.
When this happened, most of the bystanders looked at it as if it had nothing to do with them. Who could stand up to someone like Jian Yu who just turned over the table when she refused? !
The key is that people are right! I'm not afraid if it really makes trouble.
The county magistrate turned pale with anger. He pointed at Jian Yu's trembling fingertips and couldn't finish a sentence for a long time. He was so angry.
Jian Yu thought, as expected, most people's reactions to being angry are the same. She thought of Mrs. Gu, and then Princess Qingyun...
Ah, I am so irritating.
