Jinyi Music

Chapter 18

The mother and daughter of the Sun family tried to persuade Jia Silian to accept the money, and the three of them turned back to Yanghua Hutong. Sanlian had been waiting at the stall for a long time, and when she saw Silian came back, she took her to look up and down, and then she relaxed. In one breath, he stretched out his finger and poked her forehead hard,

"You say you... are trying to make me anxious to death!"

Looking back at the mother and daughter of the Sun family who were cleaning up the mess, they pulled the younger sister to the corner and said,
"You said...you don't care about your own business, you are not afraid of getting burned..."

Silian replied,

"Seeing that they are going to suffer, I can't just leave them alone. Besides... I went to the street and pulled the young man to help. I can't let him enter the yamen. I won't testify. It's not a crime. people?"

Although it was Mou Biao's own family who wanted to step in, but he was always the one who called people on the street.

Jia Sanlian gasped,
"Who told you to call someone? Fortunately, my mother was still taking a nap when I went out. If you let her know what you did today, do you think she will kill you?"

Jia Silian sighed,
"Such a thing will spread all over the alley before it is dark today. Mother will know sooner or later!"

Jia Sanlian said unhappily,
"Even if you know, why do you still want to meddle in other people's business? Feel for yourself which piece of skin on your body is thicker, can it withstand a few blows from your mother?"

"Third sister, don't worry, I have a magic weapon!"

Jia Silian smiled mysteriously, and took out a piece of silver from her sleeve,

"With this ingot of silver, mother shouldn't hit me, right?"

"You... where did you get the money?"

Jia Sanlian looked surprised, Jia Silian told where the money came from, Jia Sanlian snorted, looked at the Sun's mother and daughter opposite,

"After all, they still have a conscience. I saw that they were unwilling to testify for that young master, but you, a fool, went up without thinking, and I was so angry..."

After a pause, he said to Silian,
"Mother's words also make sense. The mother and daughter of the Sun family are troublemakers. You should stay away from them in the future!"

"Ok!"

Jia Silian nodded, then suddenly smiled again, and took out another ingot of silver from her sleeve,

"Third sister, look..."

Sanlian widened her eyes,

"you also have?"

Silian nodded heavily,

"Third sister, I'll give mother a piece of silver, and the remaining piece of silver, let's buy some snacks, shall we?"

San Lian's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she is a big girl who is going to get married, and she has never had a copper coin on her body. Every day, she watched Jia Laoqi and Xiang Shi ask for copper coins, and go out to eat, drink, and play. The one who is not envious, San Lian was shocked when he heard Si Lian's proposal at first, but he was frightened by Xiang's usual lust, hesitantly said,

"What if I let my mother know?"

Silian Road,
"Aunt Sun's thanked me for this. Let's choose a day when Mother is not around, and eat quietly outside without anyone saying anything. How could Mother know?"

San Lian nodded after thinking about it,
"it is good!"

The two sisters discussed how to sneak out the two younger sisters without anyone noticing, behind Xiang's back, use the small ingot of broken silver to buy some snacks that he had never eaten before.

"I can't say... I can buy a piece of fabric... for my third sister to marry you..."

After hearing this, San Lian laughed, as if she had heard what her sister said, and the flower cloth was in hand, and she was very happy. The two sisters guarded the stall until Jia Jincheng came back, and then they cleaned up the stall and carried the burden. Back home, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Xiang Shi's scolding and Liu Lian's crying.
"I'll treat you as a useless bastard who only knows about prodigals..."

The two put down their burdens and went in. In the main hall, they saw Jia Jincheng sitting aside frowning and Wulian standing in the corner, wanting to persuade but dare not persuade, but Jia Laoqi was angry and gloating,

"Fight well, the cheap hooves should beat well..."

When Xiang Shi saw the two sisters coming in, he immediately stared,

"Why did you two come back so late, why don't you go cook!"

Seeing Xiang Shi's fierce face, even Jia Jincheng didn't speak, and they didn't dare to intercede for Liu Lian, so they hurriedly turned around and entered the kitchen, but just as they took a step in, there was a smell of mush coming over their faces. When Sanlian went over to take off the lid of the pot, she saw that the pot was so dark that she couldn't see it for a long time, so she knew why Liulian was beaten.

"Liu Lian burned the rice!"

In the poor families at this time, a grain of rice and a handful of firewood are extremely precious, and today's dinner was burnt, no wonder even my father didn't speak.

The second sister hurriedly washed and re-cooked the meal. After it was ready, Si Lian quietly filled a bowl and hid it in a broken earthen jar in the corner. When everyone was eating, it was already dark, and Liu Lian He was punished by Xiang Shi to kneel in the yard and not allowed to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Xiang Shi was still full of anger, but now the sixth daughter has been beaten, and she still wants to find the fourth daughter's bad luck,
"Where did you go crazy this afternoon?"

Si Lian had just taken a bite of rice, and when she saw that she was inquiring about the crime, she responded calmly,

"Someone molested Aunt Sun and Qianniang today..."

So he told all the things he did today, Jia Jincheng frowned when he heard this, Xiang Shi was furious when he heard this, and flew over with the chopsticks in his hand, Jia Silian turned his head and hid, and listened to her scolded,
"Idiot, who told you to go to the street to call people, who told you to go to the government office to testify? The pair of vixens from the Sun family flirt with men every day when they sell noodles. Sooner or later, they will be ruined by men. You can't say that you are looking forward to entering a rich family as a slave, a maidservant, or a concubine, so I want you to mind your own business!"

It's also because she was lazy and didn't come out of the stall today, but let this little bastard do such stupid things. It would be better if the mother and daughter of the Sun family were scolded earlier, so as not to compete with them for business!
Thinking of this, she was even more annoyed, and she got up and made a gesture to attack Si Lian. Seeing this, Si Lian hurriedly said,

"Mother, please don't hit me...Look what this is..."

As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve, and when Xiang Shi saw it, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and saw that Si Lian's hand was clearly stretched towards him, and his fingers were about to touch the white silver. Lian flipped her palm suddenly, and Yin Zi turned a corner in mid-air, stretching towards Jia Jincheng,
"Father, you keep the money..."

Jia Jincheng hummed, and glanced at Xiang Shi, Xiang Shi froze, watching her husband reach out to take the silver,
"Where did you get the money?"

Jia Silian replied,
"This is Aunt Sun's thanks to her daughter for testifying in court and helping them seek justice. The yamen fined that wicked young man, and Aunt Sun also got a few taels. She gave a tael to her daughter!"

Jia Jincheng frowned and said to himself,
"Mou's Mansion in Bajiao Lane, isn't that the residence of Mou Bin, Commander of Jinyiwei? This time, the mother and daughter of the Sun family burned high incense and got the help of noble people. It seems that the Zhou family wanted to take revenge afterwards, and they didn't have the guts!"

Thinking of this, the displeasure towards the fourth daughter's meddling immediately dissipated a lot.

So I asked Si Lian again,

"You know Mr. Mou who helps others?"

Jia Silian shook her head,
"I don't know, I met on the street..."

Jia Jincheng nodded, didn't ask any more questions, just praised,
"The widows of the Sun family know how to be human. Finally, you didn't take the trouble for them in vain!"

Mrs. Xiang can't hear people say that the mother and daughter of the Sun family are good. Now that her husband actually praised each other, she just feels that her breath is stuck in her chest. Staring at Si Lian on her daughter, she said,
"You are a shallow-sighted thing. They will buy you off for a tael of silver. The yamen lobby is a place where a little girl like you can go. You are not afraid that the official will take you to prison!"

Jia Silian replied while grilling the rice,
"Mother, we can't earn a tael of silver from our business for a month. I just went to the court and got a tael of silver. Besides, the officials in the yamen are all educated people, and my daughter is just doing it. How could you take me to jail for no reason!"

Do you think that everyone is like you, that you don't know what is right and what is wrong, and only know to protect your son?

Xiang's heart hurt even more from being pushed by her. Jia Jincheng on the side wanted to make up for it. He glared at his wife and said,

"Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, don't stand there..."

Xiang Shi was so angry that the fat on his body was shaking, so he decided not to eat it, but today Jia Jincheng went on an errand outside the city, bought a marinated chicken from a farmer's house, steamed half of it tonight, and slaughtered all the three lotus Small pieces, filled a bowl full, the whole family can share a few pieces except Liulian, if she doesn't eat it, it will be cheaper for these lowly girls!
Thinking of this, Xiang Shi had no choice but to sit down angrily, and wanted to touch the chopsticks to pick up the chicken, only then remembered that she had already thrown Si Lian with the chopsticks, and immediately ordered Si Lian with a sullen face,
"Go get the old lady a pair of chopsticks!"

Si Lian looked up at her, and was about to speak when San Lian hurriedly got up,
"Mom, I'm going!"

She was afraid that the fourth sister would choke with her mother again, so she hurriedly got up to get it. Si Lian glanced at it and while San Lian walked away, Jia Laoqi, who was putting the chicken in her bowl, snatched two yuan quickly. In Sanlian's bowl, Jia Laoqi was furious when he saw this,
"How dare you grab my chicken!"

Silian snorted,

"The money I got back is enough to eat a dozen chickens!"

Jia Laoqi replied angrily,
"I also came back with silver. My silver is enough to feed a hundred chickens!"

As soon as he said this, Xiang's face changed drastically.
"Old Seven, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Jia Laoqi buried his head in the bowl, but he still had time to answer,

"Mother, I came back with silver, isn't it with you?"

Jia Jincheng immediately recognized the smell when he heard the words, and asked,
"Old Qi, where did you get a tael of silver?"

Xiang's face was bent, and he gave his fourth daughter a look, then his son,
"The head of the family, Lao Qi is just talking nonsense..."

Jia Jincheng has been in the yamen for a long time, and he is used to interrogating prisoners in the yamen. He doesn't even have the vision to do this, and he is still doing something outside. His face darkened immediately.
"Old Qi, how did you get that money?"

Jia Lao Qi said without feeling ashamed,

"Before I covered the car with dog feces, I was slapped twice, and they paid me for it!"

Jia Jincheng's eyes twitched when he heard this, and asked again,
"Where's the silver?"

"Give it to my mother!"
