Chapter 8
"No, she is... It's a long story." Shen Nanzhou was obviously taken aback, and said that he would talk to him in detail when he came to the house.

Li Erya felt the gazes of the crowd, puffed up her chest, and silently followed Shen Muyin's pace.

After leaving Huichun Hall, Shen Muyin stopped at a rice shop and called out to the preoccupied Shen Nanzhou, "Father, there is almost no rice at home."

Shen Nanzhou stopped, weighed the remaining money, and glanced at the flattering shopkeeper, and said without hesitation, "I'll buy it next time."

"I want to buy some." Li Erya thought they had no money, and couldn't bear it, so she went straight to buy rice without waiting for Shen Nanzhou's nod.

A bucket of high-quality white rice costs [-] Wen, ordinary rice only costs [-] Wen, and three Wen can buy about two catties. Li Erya rushed to buy ordinary rice excitedly.

The shopkeeper was obviously a little unhappy when he heard that she only bought two catties, but there was no reason not to do business, so he took three pennies and weighed rice for her.

Li Erya took the rice and weighed it, "Shopkeeper, isn't it right?"

"What's wrong? I don't know what you're talking about." The shopkeeper sternly said, "Will you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, go away quickly. Don't hinder my business."

"Do you do business like this? It doesn't last long if you don't have enough money." Li Erya said calmly.

"Who are you saying is short of weight, and who sent you to ruin my reputation? Believe it or not, I will arrest you and go to the officials." The shopkeeper threatened with bluff.

"Is it me or not, maybe you read it wrong, why don't the shopkeeper weigh it again." Li Erya pondered for a moment, then grabbed a handful of rice and put it into the bag, asking the shopkeeper to weigh it again.

Both Shen Nanzhou and Shen Muyin felt that Li Erya was messing around, and wished they could pull her away right away, or turn around and leave to pretend they didn't know her.

However, after seeing the shopkeeper's changed face, Shen Muyin felt that the matter was not that simple, and the arrogant shopkeeper at the moment admitted that he was wrong.

The shopkeeper looked at the scale, and the grains of rice that were originally planned to be buried had been completed one by one, how did she know, how did her hands know, the little girl knew it was not easy to mess with, he could only send her away like a plague god .

"What's going on? Do you know what you're doing?" Shen Muyin knew that the shopkeeper was not a good person, but he thought he was unlucky. Wait, he wanted to get back the rice he was cheated on before, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to bring up the cheating now. Suitable.

Hearing that she was still saying that the shopkeeper was wrong, Shen Muyin couldn't help being angry, even a blind person could tell that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper, so did she, and she acted nonchalantly.

"Maybe the shopkeeper is really wrong." Shen Muci quickly persuaded him.

Among them, only Shen Nanzhou and Shen Muyin knew that the shopkeeper was not a good person, which was one of the reasons why Shen Nanzhou was unwilling to buy rice from him.

It's just that he didn't expect that Li Erya didn't suffer a loss, and he was happy to see the shopkeeper slumped, but he didn't want to continue entangled in this matter, and they had to rush home.

Suddenly someone in front blocked their way out, Shen Nanzhou hurriedly pulled Shen Muyin away from the two people who were fighting, and seeing Li Erya still standing there stupidly, he had to remind her to avoid it carefully.

"Oh." Li Erya replied, looking at the three people fighting, one of them was Huang Xingye who sold fake ginseng, and the other seemed to be the one who lied to his father.

Judging from his tone, his father seemed to be pissed to death because of the fake ginseng. This is not the point, the point is that he is a medicinal material merchant, and Li Erya immediately regained his spirits.

"Stop hitting, the official messenger is here."

"It's good to come."

Li Erya heard what he said, and saw that the other person seemed a little guilty. It seemed that what he said was true, and she suddenly had the idea of ​​making friends, so she quietly encouraged Shen Muyin to help write the pleadings.

Of course, the words were for Shen Nanzhou. After all, Shen Muyin was too young, and asking him to write the pleadings was a bit too embarrassing for him. Li Erya secretly glanced at Shen Nanzhou.

"You are so kind?" Shen Muyin asked in a low voice while his father was not paying attention.

"He said he was a medicinal material merchant." Li Erya didn't hide her petty thoughts. Seeing that Shen Nanzhou didn't seem to object, she tugged on the sleeve of the younger man, and asked him directly if he needed help writing the pleadings. .

"Yes, how much does it cost?" Huang Xingding nodded excitedly when he saw someone standing up, and then he asked weakly after realizing that their family was in a poor state and they didn't have much money.

Li Erya didn't dare to say anything, she quietly glanced at Shen Nanzhou.

The latter was a little hesitant, and glanced at Shen Muci. Although he didn't like Li Erya to make decisions without authorization, he felt that he could take this opportunity to train his son, so he agreed, and asked Huang Xingding to give him whatever he wanted.

When the five officials arrived and saw Shen Nanzhou and the others, they greeted him politely, and then briefly asked why, and then brought them back to the yamen.

Shen Muci heard about it, and asked Huang Xingding a few more words, telling them to go to the Yamen first, and then rush over with the pleadings later.

They bought pens, inks, papers and inkstones this time, and Shen Muci borrowed them from the book writer's stall. After setting up the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he pondered for a while before writing. He quickly finished writing the paper, and then turned to look at his father.

"Go." Shen Nanzhou has been watching from the side, and did not comment on the spot, but told him to go to the yamen as soon as possible, so as not to delay others.

Shen Muci nodded, packed his things, took the pleadings and walked quickly to the yamen.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Shen Nanzhou said to Shen Muyin, this is a rare opportunity, in addition to testing the eldest son's writing skills, it can also let them see how the county magistrate handles cases.

But this kind of gossip is not so easy to explain clearly. They watched for a while and didn't see that the Huang brothers had a chance to win. It was getting late. Although Huang Xingding gave Shen Nanzhou ten coins, he still wanted to go early. go home.

Li Erya also noticed it. She had been thinking about how to help Huang Xingding and the two brothers. She didn't think of a way until Shen Nanzhou said that she wanted to go back.

After Shen Nanzhou and the others walked away, she waved to Huang Xingding. Seeing that he was staring at the court, she hurried over to pull him aside, and said something like this.

Although there is a way to solve the case, Huang Xingding is skeptical.

"Believe it or not, if you win the lawsuit, don't forget to go to Qingshui Village to find me to buy medicinal materials, and don't tell others that I said it, remember." Seeing Shen Muyin walking towards her, Li Erya quickly pushed him away , and ran to him.

"What are you doing? It's not proper to talk about it." Shen Mu said sternly.

Li Erya curled her lips, and followed Shen Nanzhou and the others with a low eyebrow.

Shen Muyin held back his anger, turned his head to look at Huang Xingding's back, hesitated for a while before catching up with his father.

"Don't run around." Shen Nanzhou glanced at him and Li Erya, and warned.

Shen Muyin glanced at the culprit, very unconvinced.
