Taoyao Order

Chapter 30 Lively
Not long after, Manager Qiu drew up a deed and came over, explaining at the same time: "The deed of sale of this maid is usually five or six taels of silver. As for the amount to be paid, I didn't write it down. The girl can fill it out by herself. After that, just take it and give it to the maid to sign and pledge it."

Taoyao thanked Guanshi Qiu.

Liu Yunjin pondered for a moment, and then said to Taoyao: "Go and ask her to sign a bond and leave it to Manager Qiu. He will handle the external affairs. It's not good for a girl like you to be in the public eye."

Taoyao thanked Liu Yunjin again and left with the deed of betrayal.

Liu Yunjin looked at Tao Yao's back and felt a little confused. Although it was just a little effort, it was very different from his previous way of doing things. It turns out that once someone is willing to do something, it won't be too difficult for those who follow.

When Tao Yao returned to the courtyard where she lived, there were already many people standing in the corridor and courtyard to watch the excitement.

Even Zheng Qiaoyan, the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, also came forward to stop Taoyao who was in a hurry, and asked her curiously: "I heard that something happened at Wu Yan's family? What is going on? Tell me. Just tell me, tell me."

When Tao Yao saw that it was her, she couldn't help but stopped. But for a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through her heart, and Tao Yao said affectionately: "Just mind these nosy things. I'm too busy now. I'll go with you later." you say."

Zheng Qiaoyan was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't know why Taoyao was willing to tell her gossip. She was so happy that she clapped her hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you have to be the first to tell me. You can't break your promise. I'm waiting for you."

Tao Yao responded repeatedly and then returned to her bedroom with the contract of sale.

Tao Yao and Wu Yan discussed carefully: "...How much do you think is good to write here? It's too little. I'm afraid they will actually give you five taels of silver to redeem your life for the sake of the house. How about I fill in 20 taels?"

Wu Yan looked at Taoyao who seemed to be really focused on helping her, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, let's write 100 taels, which is more than that house, and it will stop them from wanting to redeem me." .”

Tao Yao nodded after hearing this: "Okay."

Wu Yan signed and stamped it.

When Tao Yao just came back, she had already asked Manager Qiu to send someone to find a doctor for Wu Yan. He was afraid that he would arrive soon. Tao Yao asked Wu Yan to have a good rest in the room first, don't think about anything, and take care of herself. Let’s get it ready.

Taoyao went and gave the deed of sale to Manager Qiu. Manager Qiu took it, read it briefly, and said to Taoyao: "As the master said, the girl is a rich lady. It's not good to deal with such a matter in person, so let's let it go Old slave, please do it for me."

Tao Yao looked at Manager Qiu who smiled lovingly at her, and quickly thanked her: "I'm also afraid that I'm young and won't be able to control those monsters and ghosts outside. In this case, I'll have to ask Manager Qiu for help."

Manager Qiu bowed his hand to Tao Yao: "Since they have made trouble at the door of Zi Ling Pavilion, it is natural for me to come forward. The girl is waiting for good news."

With that said, Steward Qiu took the deed of betrayal and went to the front yard. Taoyao wandered for a while, but seeing that the doctor hadn't come yet, she went straight to Zheng Qiaoyan's room in Sanjin Courtyard.

Not long after, Manager Qiu arrived at the outer pavilion of Zi Ling Pavilion. The men and women making trouble were none other than Wu Yan's father, stepmother, uncle, aunt, and several younger ones. I wonder if they were the sons of Wu Yan's uncle's family. There were a few people in the front, holding hoes and sickles, and wearing simple clothes. They were probably tenants employed by their family.

There were quite a few people coming.

There was no business at all this afternoon, just watching the excitement of a few of them.

The clerks from Zi Ling Pavilion also came forward and were arguing with those people. Seeing Manager Qiu coming, the shopkeeper quickly saluted Manager Qiu and asked him to come forward.

Manager Qiu is only 50 years old, but he has followed Liu Yunjin in taking care of the family business since he was in the capital.Now when I arrived in Hangzhou, I saw such a few rogue villagers. I just smiled and stepped forward with a hint of kindness: "I wonder what you are doing in coming to my Zi Ling Pavilion?" The people of the Wu family and the Wang family looked at them. From the way Manager Qiu dressed and the attitude of the waiter and shopkeeper towards him, he knew that this was a boss who spoke with weight.

Wu Yan's father Wu Qing and stepmother Zhuo Shi came forward: "You Zi Ling Pavilion has taken over my filial daughter and won't return it. You still have the nerve to ask us why we are here? Give me my daughter back!"

Manager Qiu still smiled kindly: "I wonder who your lady is?"

Wu Qing said: "You don't have to pretend to be confused here! My daughter is Wu Yan!"

Mrs. Zhuo also shouted to the inside of Zi Ling Pavilion: "Girl Yan! My daughter, come out quickly! Don't be afraid, have you been kidnapped by them! Just scream, mother and your father are here to save you!"

Manager Qiu looked at the woman acting noisily here, but he was not angry. He just nodded slowly and said: "Wu Yan, we did have a young lady named Wu Yan who studied in Ziling Pavilion before, but I Remember, she signed up to honor her grandmother years ago, but she can’t come this year. She didn’t even pay this year’s tuition fees, and she went home years ago. How can you say she’s still here now?”

"We asked around along the way. Someone saw her entering Zi Ling Pavilion this morning!" Mrs. Zhuo couldn't wait to get witnesses to testify now.

"Oh? Where is the witness?" Manager Qiu looked eagerly.

Wu Qing sent his tenants to look for him.

Manager Qiu coughed twice and said, "I'm old."

With that said, the shopkeeper understood and quickly brought a chair over. He also brought a cup of tea to Manager Qiu and sat here to wait slowly.

Everyone looked at Guanshi Qiu's calm and noble look, and then looked at the anxious villagers, standing up and down, and they really couldn't believe how a place like Ziling Pavilion could be destroyed because of a villager's house. , to occupy their daughter.

It's just that there are many people watching the excitement, and the drama must be done enough to convince everyone, then this matter can be considered calmed down.

Not long after, the Wu Qing family actually found a witness among the crowd of spectators.

He claimed to be a knife sharpener from Shise Village. In the morning, he carried a bench with two whetstones fixed on one end. He walked from Shise Village to Hangzhou Prefecture to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives. It happened to be far away. Watching Wu Yan flee here all the way, and later entered the door of Zi Ling Pavilion.

When he saw Wu Qing and the others making trouble, he was no longer in a hurry to do business. He just stood around and watched the fun for a while.

"I saw with my own eyes that Brother Wu's daughter entered the door at the back of Zi Ling Pavilion this noon."

Manager Qiu slowly put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Oh? Really? Since you are from the same hometown as them, could it be that they worked together to slander Zi Ling Pavilion? If so, I can drag you to the Yamen for punishment. .”

The man seemed to be frightened, thinking that Manager Qiu was just a smiling tiger who would pounce on him at any time and eat him until no bones were left.
