Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 52

Qu Changjiu said anxiously: "Liu Xiniang, can you not sue Lin?"

The law stipulates that candidates who take the scientific examination must not break the law for three generations of blood relatives in the family within three years.

If the Lin family were in prison, Qu would not be able to take the scientific examination for three years, and even if he won a Jinshi in the future, he would be looked down upon by his colleagues because of a mother who was in prison.

Liu Xiniang glanced at Qu Changjiu, and said slowly, "If it were you and me, would you let Mrs. Lin go?"

Qu Shi entered the main room and leaned into Qu Kuaishou's ear, passing He Shi's words to him.

Qu Kuaishou contemplated for a moment, and then said: "Liu Xiniang, you misled Mrs. Lin with your words, causing her to go crazy and hurt you. Mrs. Lin is from our Qu family, and our Qu family is willing to pay you 30 taels of money for her, and promise not to lose money." Spread the word about your wrong marriage."

Liu Xiniang asked back, "30 taels?"

Qu Kuaishou said: "If you think the compensation is too low and the lion speaks loudly, then Mrs. Lin is not the daughter-in-law of our Qu family. Our Qu family has no need to compensate you. If you sue Mrs. Lin to the government, it doesn't matter if she goes to jail or not." It's about our composer."

Liu Xiniang looked around at the dozens of Qujia Villagers inside and outside the main room, thinking that she would have to rely on being a bridesmaid to earn money to support her family in the future, so she couldn't do everything, so she said slowly: "If you can make everyone shut up, I will Agreed to only accept 30 taels of compensation."

The old patriarch hoped that today's matter would not be spread out more than Liu Xiniang, and immediately said: "I will hold a clan meeting today, let the clansmen rot everything in their stomachs, and I will never talk nonsense outside and ruin your reputation as a bride. Cut off your future money."

Liu Xiniang nodded, took the two small silver ingots from Mrs. Deng, and put them in a small red brocade box.

The two bearers discussed just now, fearing that Liu Xiniang would get sick on the way, they asked her to stay in Qujia Village for one night, and leave tomorrow morning if nothing happened tonight.

Liu Xiniang lived in Qu Kuaishou's house.

The Qu clan held a clan meeting, and both Qu Kuaishou, his wife, and Qu Jiu Jiu had to attend. The two tough women brought the Lin family, who was bundled into rice dumplings, out of the Qu family's yard.

Only the Li family, Liu Xiniang and two bearers left in the Qu family.

Liu Xiniang kept her hands on the small red cotton box, and even carried it with her to relieve herself.She walked around the Qu's yard twice, and then talked to Li Jingjing who was standing on a small bench watching the red carp in the tank.

"Li Yaoshi, my daughter is two years older than you. She can only embroider small sachets and handkerchiefs, but she is far less beautiful and smart than you."

"Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I'm stupid. I'm most afraid of learning embroidery. Every time my mother wants to teach me embroidery, I wink at my second brother and ask him to help me lure my mother away."

He Shi came over and smiled slightly at Liu Xiniang.

Liu Xiniang bowed to Mrs. He and said gratefully, "Ma'am, my life was saved by your daughter. If you have any orders in the future, please send someone to Lichang Street, Liuyang County to deliver a message to me."

He Shi nodded and asked Li Jingjing to play with Li Yunxiao.

Li Jingjing knew that Mrs. He wanted to ask Liu Xiniang something, so she didn't leave and just played around.

He Shi is often very helpless towards Gui Lingjing's daughter, so she can only let her listen.

"I don't know how you will explain it to the rich businessman when you go back?"

"To tell you the truth, Ma'am, I'm going to tell the client that after a night of deliberation, the Qu family felt that they couldn't accept 300 taels of silver, but they only allowed the young lady to be an ordinary wife. They planned to postpone the marriage until Lin passed away and married the young lady For the wife."

"If you explain it like this, the rich businessman will only be happy and won't blame you."

"I hope that the people of the Qu family can keep their promises, and don't spread the news that I misidentified the mistress of the Qu family yesterday."

That night, a miscellaneous room of the Qu family was tidied up, and the windows and doors were replaced with iron ones by the blacksmith of the Qu family, and it became Guan Lin's house.

Lin was untied, and lived in a dark and damp prison-like room. She screamed like a ghost in the middle of the night, howled dozens of times, and her throat was broken, and no one came out to take a look.

The next day, she put her hands on the bar window and saw Qu Jiujiu and Liu Xiniang leaving the Qu's house together, thinking that Qu Jiujiu was going to the county town to marry a flat wife, she cried so hard.

Qu Kuaishou was completely ashamed yesterday, and the joy of having a grandson was wiped away, but now he was annoyed by Lin's crying, standing next to the fish tank in the yard and shouting: "Lin, you cried to death!" , I will renew Changjiu immediately, and Changjiu will marry a regular wife!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin gradually stopped crying, and stopped going on a hunger strike. She ate all the three meals that Mrs. Deng brought in every day.

The Qu family originally thought that Lin would not live for a few days, so they bought her a shroud and coffin.

In winter, Mrs. Lin was still alive and well, and even asked Mrs. Deng to add a fire to the house when it was cold.

Qu Kuai stared at Deng who was carrying the stove in Lin's house and shouted: "You are not allowed to give her a fire. If you rub the flames for her, she dares to burn our house down."

"Thank you for reminding me. I even forgot that she dared to kill people with scissors!" Deng's face changed slightly, and he brought the stove back to the main room.

On a cold day, the sun hangs in the sky on a sunny day, and the warm sunshine shines on the earth that has just rained for three days and three nights.

The air was humid throughout the morning, and at noon, the water vapor was evaporated by the sun, and the earth was dry. After lunch, Qu Jia and He Shi took out the quilts to dry.

Li Laoshi, Li Yunqing, Wangfeng, and Wangyang hurried up from the slope.

The two Martial Daoist nuns, who were already used to dressing up as lay people, came up to greet the two Martial Daoist priests, "Wanglian (Wangyue) has met the two senior brothers."

Wangfeng cut to the chase and said, "We are ordered by our uncle to come to Pharmacist Li to get the ointment, and we will only stay for a while before leaving."

Li Jingjing had just untied her hair tie and was about to take off her clothes for a nap, when she heard a familiar man's voice outside, she exclaimed happily: "Daddy, big brother!"

She ran out with her hair disheveled, and fell into Li Yunqing's arms. When she looked up, she saw that Li Yunxiao had already occupied Li Laoshi's arms, so she held her ground, hugged Li Yunqing's neck tightly, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not allowed to hug him today." Xiao Yazi."

Li Laoshi suddenly coughed dryly, his throat seemed to be dry without drinking water, his voice was hoarse, and he said anxiously: "Sister Jing, the Taoist priest asked me to bring you a message. He said, Yaoshi Li, immediately take all the freckle removal Give the anointing to my two nephews."

Without thinking, Li Jingjing jumped out of Li Yunqing's arms, ran into the medicine room like a gust of wind, closed the door tightly to prevent anyone from entering, and let Wangfeng and Wangyang stand outside the window.

She handed out the medicine jars containing spot-removing ointment from the window, and after handing over ten of them, she asked with a smile, "Did you take it?"

Wangfeng and Wangyang said loudly: "I got it!"

Li Yunxiao stood aside with his little head up and looked at it. He felt that his sister was playing a game with two martial artists. It was very interesting, and he clamored to play it too.

Li Yunqing coaxed Li Yunxiao to go outside the yard.

Seeing Li Laoshi standing outside the door of the medicine room, looking at the rows of medicine pots on the ground in a daze, He Shi said with a smile, "Changsheng, don't you believe that this is the medicine made by Jingmeizi?"
