Chapter 508: I'll take care of this matter to the end!
It's really hard for these talented people who expect these idle people to do nothing but plant flowers and admire the moon, and carry cages and walk birds, to know what poles, hoes, and dustpans are.
It's normal to not be able to guess things you've never seen before.
The stall owner took down the box from under the lantern, and there was a sign inside.
There are three seal characters written on the signature: Shang Shang Ji.
Then the stall owner saw the lottery in Xiao Ruxue's hand and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the girl actually got the top lottery! I will definitely have good luck in the future. Why not go to the divination stall over there and ask, you will definitely gain something."
"?!!!"
Xu Qing looked at the stall owner selling lanterns, then at the Gua stall nearby, and instantly understood something.
Are you waiting here?!
Xiao Ruxue pulled Xu Qing and said, "Let's go there quickly."
Xu Qing couldn't bear to spare Xiao Ruxue's interest, so she let him pull her over.
The fortune teller was an old man dressed in cloth and Taoist robes, but whether he was a true Taoist priest or not remains to be verified.
The old man saw the sign in Xiao Ruxue's hand, then looked at Xu Qing, who was holding Xiao Ruxue's hand, and asked: "This girl, do you want to undo the sign?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded: "Yes, let's untie the sign."
The old man took the sign from Xiao Ruxue's hand, looked at it and said, "Is this girl asking about good fortune, fortune, or marriage?"
Xiao Ruxue immediately said: "Marriage."
The old man nodded and said: "This matter has revealed the secret. We need to lose money to avoid disaster. For ten copper coins, the old man will risk his life to reveal the secret to the girl."
Xiao Ruxue put a piece of broken silver on the table: "I didn't bring any copper coins."
The old man's eyes widened when he saw the broken piece of silver, but he pretended to be calm and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Sincerity will lead to success. It doesn't matter what kind of money it is..."
Xiao Ruxue asked: "Then what is my marriage like?"
The old man opened his mouth and said: "Sign up and ask about the marriage, Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island, a graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."
Xiao Ruxue hated memorizing poetry the most. She was confused by what the old Taoist said: "What do you mean?"
The old Taoist priest first opened his mouth to explain these four lines of the poem, and then said: "The girl's beloved is right in front of her. A beautiful man matches a talented man, and a good man has a good fate. They will grow old together and be united forever."
Xiao Ruxue was obviously very satisfied with the old Taoist priest's explanation, and her mood became better and better.
Leaving the Gua stall, Xiao Ruxue lost a piece of silver.
Originally guessing lantern riddles to win lottery prizes has now turned into spending money to tell fortunes.
But Xiao Ruxue was having fun, and Xu Qing didn't care about it.
It is said that a girl's feelings are always poetry. Although Xiao Ruxue does not like to recite poetry, it does not prevent her feelings from being full of poetry and painting.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue, who was walking on the right side of Xu Qing, suddenly let go of Xu Qing's hand, ran from Xu Qing's right side to Xu Qing's left side, and grabbed Xu Qing's left hand.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruxue looked up at Xu Qing's turned face and said, "My right hand is hot. Please help me cover my left hand. It's so cold."
Xu Qing pinched Xiao Ruxue's cold left hand and couldn't help but smile: "Does this also need to be wet by rain and dew?"
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue saw some people gathered in front of him as if they were looking at something, and many people were surrounding him.
Seeing this scene, driven by curiosity, Xiao Ruxue couldn't help but drag Xu Qing over.
Since there were few people watching, Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing easily walked to the front row, and then saw the woman named Liu Wanyan protecting the beggar mother and son who had been given alms by Xiao Ruxue behind her, with
Several people who looked like police officers were confronting each other.
The little beggar seemed to be injured, with a cut on his forehead, but he still had a silly look on his face and seemed to feel no pain at all.
The leader of the police said: "Girl, it's none of your business here, leave quickly."
But Liu Wanyan said: "As government officials, you punched, kicked, kicked and taunted a beggar mother and son. It's really too much."
The leader of the police said quickly, "How can you, a girl like me, interfere with the yamen affairs? Seeing that you are an outsider, I won't care about you. Let's go! Otherwise, I'll beat you up too!"
The only ones who can stop them are outsiders who know nothing but pride themselves on being heroic and courageous.
The beggar woman covering her child's forehead with a cloth looked at Liu Wanyan and said, "This girl should leave quickly. I appreciate your kindness..."
When people around saw this scene, they were also talking about it:
"Is this witch harming people again?"
"Yes, I gave birth to two idiots who were born stupid in succession to the county captain. If this is not a witch, what is a witch?"
"Her father was not a good person back then. As expected, like father, like daughter..."
"His father? Is he the county captain's unsatisfactory cousin?"
"Yes, her father lost all his family property in business and entrusted the daughter of the family to the county captain. The county captain happened to have a son so he could find a new marriage partner and marry him to his own son. We will discuss this matter
Doesn’t everyone in Gu County know about it?”
"If you ask me, the county captain is also extremely benevolent, but who would have thought that this witch would not let go. Not only did the children he gave birth to be stupid, but one of them died."
"By the way, I heard that the first child born was not only stupid but also had physical problems. Within two years, she slipped and fell into a dry well and drowned. The second child was still the same. The county captain said she was a witch.
Kick her out"
"Who knows how he died, maybe..."
"Hush... You can't say such a thing!"
…
When the officials saw that Liu Wanyan was still not leaving, they waved their hands: "Take this ungrateful woman away! Don't neglect the orders of the county captain!"
"Yes!" Just when the officer on the side wanted to attack Liu Wanyan, Xiao Ruxue flew forward and waved her sleeves to swing the officer away.
Liu Wanyan looked at the person who suddenly appeared next to her and said in surprise: "Miss Xue, why are you here?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "These officials are going too far! They are so cruel to children. It's too much!"
The policeman persuaded him kindly, but one person after another came to "act chivalrously and righteously". He couldn't help but feel angry: "You have rebelled against me! You dare to beat an officer, what crime should you be punished for!"
Xiao Ruxue snorted: "You still beat the children? What crime should be committed?"
The policeman said: "This is the order of the county captain!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Can a county lieutenant take human life lightly?"
While the beggar woman was taking care of her, she begged in a trembling voice: "Madam, I appreciate your kindness. Officials cannot be beaten. Don't mess with the government because of me, a useless wife..."
After saying that, the beggar woman saw Xu Qing who was also coming forward, and begged: "Master, please advise your wife..."
When Xiao Ruxue heard what the beggar woman said, she felt more and more comfortable. She put her hands on her hips and said, "I will take care of this matter to the end!"
