The night in Yangjiadu is extremely quiet, the night is endless, a clear crescent moon is far away in the sky, and the night wind slowly blows in with the fragrance of magnolia flowers, giving this night an inexplicable poetic feeling.
Chen Chang breathed greedily the air that was not polluted at all, feeling indescribably comfortable all over his body.
Chen Chang and Yan Qianshi talked about their plans for entering the city, then returned from the woods and tiptoed into the house.
First looking at Yan Xiu who was sleeping soundly, Chen Chang suddenly remembered something and whispered to Yan Qianshi: "The money that the local officials have compensated you had better be returned to him, otherwise it might happen again."
What's wrong!"
As the saying goes, keep a line in everything so that we can meet again in the future.
Although Yan Xiu has completed his ideological work, the trip has not yet taken place. He is afraid that there will be changes in the future, so he cannot completely offend the officials. In this way, even the two grandfathers and grandsons still remain.
In Yangjiadu, the local officials would not make things too difficult for them.
Yan Qianshi said: "Oh...yes, yes, yes, these father and son are so greedy for money, wouldn't it cost their lives to ask them to pay? Well, it would have been better if they had refused and refused."
Chen Chang said: "No. If I refused at that time, the lady would naturally not be able to pass the customs. I am afraid that even Liu Yingshun would not accept it."
Yan Qianshi suddenly realized: "Oh...yes, Qilang, you are right. This money was not given to me by him, but to that lady. Why didn't I think of it? In this way, it must be
I want to return it to the Liu family."
Chen sang: "It's not too late. It's not too late now. Why not pay this money back now to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Although Yan Qianshi figured out this relationship, he still felt a little reluctant to return the money to the local officials before it was warmed up, so he blinked and said: "Qi Lang, don't rush this, you and I will go there early tomorrow morning
It's not too late. Every day before dawn, his family's Ling'er cleans the courtyard, and we won't have time to go back then. Alas, it's pitiful, such a good woman like Ling'er, her life is ruined...
”
After saying that, he yawned deeply.
Chen Chang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Brother is injured. If you can trust me, I will return it to them now..."
"This..." Yan Qianshi clicked his lips, "You are not familiar with the Liu family, what should you do if they get into trouble again?"
"Don't worry, even if he has a grudge against us, he won't fall out immediately. After all, the lady's power is still there." Chen Chang is confident.
In addition to the reasons he just mentioned, there is another point. After all, he is there to pay back the money, not to ask for it. No matter how much Liu Yingshun hates them, he will never have a grudge against money, right?
"Uh... Then there's Brother Lao Xian. By the way, there are many side roads in this village, so don't get lost at night."
Yan Qianshi held the idea of out of sight, out of mind, and finally agreed to Chen Chang's suggestion. After all, if he was asked to send the money back with his own hands, he would really be reluctant to do so. "If you are afraid, give the money to his family."
It’s Ling’er, and she will naturally hand it over to Liu Yingshun and his son.”
Chen Chang heard him mention a woman named Ling'er several times, so he asked casually, and Yan Qianshi briefly told her about Ling'er.
It turned out that Ling'er almost starved to death on the roadside when she was fleeing the refugee camp. The wife of a local official took her back home when she saw her beauty. She said she was preparing to be her son Liu Yaozu's wife, but in fact she was treated like an ox and a horse.<
/p>
"Oh, it turned out to be a child bride?"
Yan Qianshi was surprised: "What daughter-in-law?"
Chen Chang coughed a few times and said, "It's nothing. From that point of view, this woman's life is pretty hard."
Yan Qianshi sighed again: "Ling'er is both beautiful and virtuous. What a wonderful woman. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
"A flower stuck on the cow dung!" Chen Chang looked up and looked at the bright moon outside the window with a faint smile on his lips.
"Wonderful, this metaphor is very appropriate and wonderful! What a pity, what a pity..."
It was late at night, but Liu Yaozu didn't sleep, and he didn't even take off his coat. Seeing that there was no movement in the yard, he quietly left his house and tiptoed outside his parents' room.
He put his ear to the crack of the door, and came from inside Liu Yingshun's snoring one after another but without any rhythm, and Liu Mao's scolding voice: "Humph, I didn't take good care of me and slept like a dead pig. It must be
Spend all your energy on the belly of that sexy fox..."
Liu Yaozu covered his mouth and gently got up and knocked on Shui Ling'er's door. He found that no one was in the room. When he was wondering, he heard a rustling sound coming from the creek outside the courtyard. He walked out of the door softly.
The moon was white and the wind was clear, and I could see clearly that the figure behind was Shui Ling'er.
A thin waist is suitable for narrow clothes, and a long hairpin is suitable for neatly holding the temples.
At that moment, Liu Yaozu couldn't believe that this woman who was crying just now was a human being. She was like a fairy descending to earth, with a light body and noble bearing, walking towards the stream in the shadow of the moonlight.
At this time, it was absolutely beautiful.
Liu Yaozu couldn't help but be tempted.
At this time, he was so angry that he completely forgot about those bullshit old gods' instructions, and just wanted to rush forward and hug this lovable girl to take pity on her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, someone behind him coughed: "Mr. Liu, please stay!"
Chen Chang didn't know how to call the village chief's son, but he would always be polite to others who respected him as a son.
Liu Yaozu felt guilty and jumped when he heard the sound. He turned around and saw the scholar who had come to the house to cause trouble in the daytime standing there blankly. Seeing that he was ruining his good deeds for no reason, he couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you doing here?"
?"
"Young Master Liu, it seems that my brother Yan Qianshi was ignorant and offended you and your son. I had no choice but to ask a friend for help. Who knew that she struck harder and almost hurt the Young Master. I'll wait
I feel very sorry, so I came here to apologize to the young master and return the money in full."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Liu Yaozu was suffocated. This stupid scholar came here late at night to pay back the money. This was beyond his expectation. Because of his recklessness, he had to spend all his money to pay for soups and medicines for the Yan family's ancestors. For this, he was punished.
My father scolded me severely.
The relationship was finally settled, and he had already made a plan for revenge with his mother, but now that Chen Chang came to pay back the money, he was at a loss.
"Well, I get it, I guess you're interested!"
Liu Yaozu took the cloth bag containing the money and he was furious when someone came to pay him back. However, his thoughts suddenly changed in just a moment. Fortunately, he followed Shui Ling'er out today and met this scholar. Otherwise, it would have been like this
Isn’t it true that money has nothing to do with you?
Looking at it this way, this scholar is not so annoying.
He looked back at his courtyard and saw that the lights in his parents' room had been extinguished, and Shui Ling'er was still more than a hundred steps away. He expected not to hear the conversation between the two, so he sneered at Chen Chang and warned him.
: "I will report this to my father, so you don't need to tell him."
After saying that, he reluctantly looked at Shui Ling'er who was washing clothes by the stream, suppressed his restless heart, and then turned around and walked away.
Humph, although I didn't succeed today, I got a lot of money for no reason, and I will go have some fun tomorrow. Anyway, there is no proof of this matter. If my father asks, he will say that there is nothing about it. Sooner or later, he will be the Shui Ling'er in this family.
Yes, I’m not in a hurry right now.
Chen Chang didn't know that he was trying to save his father's money, so he turned around and left. He did not return directly, but went straight to the creek.
Willow elm, locust tree, and camphor grow along the stream. Although it has just rained heavily in the past few days, the stream is gurgling and extremely clear. Under a weeping willow, there is a large bluestone slanting, and the girl squats on the bluestone to wash her clothes.
It looks like it should be a large piece like a curtain.
"Who? Who?"
Shui Ling'er was startled by Chen Chang's footsteps and hurriedly stood up, unconsciously stroking her hair from her temples with her hands.
I originally thought it was Liu Yaozu, but after seeing Chen Chang's appearance clearly under the moonlight, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Chang crossed his arms and said: "I have undoubtedly offended the girl. I was just passing by here. If I disturbed the girl, I hope you will forgive me! May I ask who you are, Miss Ling'er?"
I saw cow dung twice, but this was the first time I saw flowers, no, it must have been the second time too. As we got closer, Chen Chang realized that the girl in front of him was the one who showed him the way.
Shui Ling'er also recognized Chen Chang, smiled faintly and said: "It turns out to be the young man. I am exactly Ling'er. That man is not easy to mess with, and the young man can't afford to offend him, so it's better to show up here less often.
Lest he intentionally embarrass you."
Shui Ling'er spoke softly and smiled at Chen Chang. Chen Chang keenly noticed that her voice was much hoarse now than when they first met during the day.
During the day, he hurried to rescue people, but he felt that Shui Ling'er looked very beautiful even through the veil. It was only at this time that Chen Chang took a serious look at her face.
Among the women Chen Chang has ever seen, Shui Ling'er is considered to be the most beautiful.
I saw that her hair was covered with dark clouds, her skin was piled with white snow, her black eyebrows were like distant mountains, her almond-shaped eyes were covered with light smoke, her face was delicate and plain, and she did not bother to beg for mercy in powder. Her autumn waves were slightly tinged, her tears were still there, her rhinoceros teeth were slightly rosy, and every move she made was as graceful as water, like water.
Xiaojiabiyu's expression and attitude are so pitiful that those who see them will be filled with tears.
This situation is like a beautiful shadow wandering along the stream, suddenly seeing the moonlight coming down.
When Shui Ling'er saw him looking at her intently, her cheeks turned red and she said shyly, "Is there anything else, young man?"
The moonlight reflects on her face, which is white and pure, slender and thin, with a tall body, plump cheeks and beautiful eyebrows, and her eyes are as bright as black gems. Although her waist is lower than that of Xiaoman, her mouth is the same as that of Fan Su. I am afraid that in future generations
Bai Letian couldn't help but praise a few words when he saw it.
Shui Ling'er looked at him for a long time, her cheeks became more and more flushed, and she was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Chen Chang smiled slightly and saluted: "Girl, I cannot thank you enough for showing me the way, so I will make up for it now."
"This is what I did casually, so you don't have to be polite, young man!"
After Chen Chang learned about Shui Ling'er's life experience, he then asked: "Miss Ling'er, have the Liu family and his son ever made things difficult for you?"
"I have never...never made things difficult for me." Although she smiled sweetly and tried her best to control her emotions, her eyebrows were full of sorrow and her eyes were filled with tears, and she still told Chen Chang the truth about her situation.
p>
Although Chen Chang had expected this, seeing how pitiful she was, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. Just as he was about to ask again, Shui Ling'er saluted him again: "It's getting late, and I have to go back, so I'll say goodbye to my husband."
Pass!"
After saying that, he turned around, picked up the wooden basin, walked past Chen Chang, and walked straight towards Liu Yingshun's house.
Chen Chang stared at her back and saw her small waist flexing and circling, as if she were a swallow flying in the wind, and her steps were as easy and nimble as Chang'e in the moonlight. He was in a trance when he suddenly saw her looking back and saying softly: "Little Prince"
If you offend someone, you are afraid that revenge will be imminent, so both Lang Jun and the Yan family must be careful what they do."
She knew that the ancestors and grandsons of the Yan family were upright, and the scholar seemed to like them at first sight. She couldn't bear to let them be deceived by Liu and his son, so she reminded them.
Looking back and squinting, this charming and graceful look is breathtaking.
It wasn't until Shui Ling'er completely disappeared from his sight that he remembered what she had just said. I'm afraid these stupid village chiefs and his son will deal with us soon...
Just as a gust of cool breeze came, he quickly shrank his neck and walked quickly to Yan's house...
