Wang's little lady

Chapter 3: Canceling the Engagement PK Three

As Xie Hongdou said this, he led his family and bowed in the direction of the imperial city.

In ancient times, when superiors and inferiors were highly respected, it was absolutely infallible to have more etiquette.

And every word she said finally made Mrs. Wang understand something.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang began to sweat on her forehead. She didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather or because she was scared.

But Hongdou didn't give her another chance to speak:

"Wang Grandma won't give you any money today, that's fine;"

"We will take the document signed by Wang Dalang and go to the county to ask the dean and tutors of the academy;"

"Are all the students in their academy scoundrels like Wang Dalang?"

"Doesn't the character of the students need to be examined for admission to their academy? Can you just pay money to get in?"

"Oh, look at my memory. I heard that Wang Dalang is now highly appreciated by the academy's masters?"

"It doesn't matter. If the academy can't take care of this matter, the worst I can do is go to the county government to drum and complain;"

"The county magistrate has clear rewards and punishments. He will definitely give justice to me, a poor woman whose father just died."

Xie Hongdou pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, but he spat out cruel words lightly in his mouth;

The calm tone seemed to be discussing what to eat today.

However, the lethality is not weak at all.

Mrs. Wang was completely shocked now. If Dalang was really implicated, then... . .

"Bah bang bang." At this time, a burst of applause came from the edge of the alley, accompanied by the words of the visitor: "Girl is right."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the place where the sound appeared.

I saw a young man in green clothes appearing by the alley, wearing a jasper hairpin of the same color in his bun, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face;

At this time, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel approachable and polite.

"I have the honor to meet the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate is impartial and selfless, and he is dedicated to serving the people. He also has the least contempt for people who have no virtue and no conduct."

When Jiang Huaizhi said this, he glanced at Mrs. Wang specifically, as if warning or hinting.

Xie Hongdou looked at the young master in Tsing Yi who was helping but did not know his identity at the exit, and expressed his gratitude: "Young Master is laughing."

But she couldn't help but think: There were many kind-hearted young masters in ancient times, and she met them when they first arrived.

Jiang Huaizhi returned the favor with his hand, and then continued to look at Mrs. Wang, as if waiting for her follow-up.

Mrs. Wang was really panicked. Their family was counting on their grandson to honor their ancestors.

If the Xie family really went out of their way to sue the Yamen, and the young master who knew the county magistrate testified, wouldn't they have a bright future? . .

No, no, we can't let Xie Hongdou ruin Dalang's future.

"Hongdou girl, look at you, you are still young and you don't know the importance of things."

"Grandma Wang is just kidding you, why should you take it seriously? Haha."

Mrs. Wang smiled apologetically to appease Xie Hongdou, and continued to turn to Grandma Xie:

"Sister, don't you think so? Our two families have been friends for such a long time, how can this matter bother the magistrate?"

"Money matters are easy to discuss, easy to discuss."

Grandma Xie particularly despises Mrs. Wang for her appearance. She is used to bullying the weak and shying away from the strong, but is her granddaughter really going to make trouble with the county magistrate?
Grandma Xie couldn't help but glance at her granddaughter. Well, she couldn't see anything.

They are ordinary people with no power and power, so they are really a little scared when they go to the yamen.

What if the county magistrate is unhappy with their going?

We don’t know this young man, so who knows whether what he said is true or false?

Xie Hongdou noticed Xie Grandma's hint from the corner of her eyes, and felt a little funny in her heart. The old lady was quite cooperative.

But she didn't bother to go back and forth on things that could be easily solved. After all, the government office was not run by her family.

It would be best to scare Mrs. Wang now.

"Anai Wang, do you mean that you are willing to return the money to my family?" "Repay it, repay it, of course you have to repay it."

Mrs. Wang forced a smile on her face, but her heart was bleeding, 60 taels, where did her family get so much money.

"It's just that my family really can't afford that much money at the moment. You see..."

60 taels of silver was something that few ordinary people could afford, but she didn't believe that the Wang family didn't have even half of it.

You know, since the two families got engaged, most of the money for Wang Dalang's education came from the Xie family.

"We are all from a small family. It is not easy to make some money. I understand you too. My Xie family has always been reasonable, unlike your Wang family."

"Let's do this. You will pay back 30 taels today. For the remaining 30 taels, you can write an IOU, put your thumbprint on it, and settle it at the end of the year."

Mrs. Wang had a smile on her face, but she was filled with hatred and still dissatisfied.

30 taels, this is the majority of the family's wealth. If you give it out, the family will be empty, and your grandson will waste money studying;
If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to cancel the engagement. I would have just thought of a way to get rid of the Xie family in private.

No matter how bad it is to marry him, Xie Hongdou will not let her rub and torture her.

Hey, sorry about that.

"Anai Wang is unwilling?" Xie Hongdou asked gently.

"Yes, yes, I'll go home and pick it up and deliver it, haha."

It's really weird today. This little lady Xie looks so weak and can't take care of herself. She keeps smiling, but why does she always make people feel scared when she talks?
Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit because of his dead father?
There is also this young man in green, who I don’t even know, but he comes out to meddle in other people’s business.

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Wang, but don't worry, let's sign the IOU first."

Xie Hongdou looked at Grandma Xie and motioned for her to get pen and paper.

Grandma Xie's eyes suddenly widened.

Okay, I understand, we don’t have it at home.

She herself couldn't write calligraphy.

Xie Hongdou's eyes turned around, and finally landed on Jiang Huaizhi, who drew his sword to help him when he saw the injustice on the road:

"Can you please help me write two IOUs?"

"Of course, we will bear the consumption of paper and ink, plus pay for your help in writing. What do you think?"

Jiang Huaizhi didn't mind Xie Hongdou's request.

This girl looked weak and elegant, but she handled things calmly and methodically. He admired capable people:

"Girl, you're welcome, it's a trivial matter."

Jiang Huaizhi asked his attendant to take out the pen and paper from his luggage, asked both parties for their names, and then started writing;

Since Xie Hongdou asked for help, he would no longer doubt the content of the writing and make others unhappy for nothing.

Mrs. Xie took the initiative to take the IOU and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

"Grandma Wang, please put your fingerprints on me."

In full view of everyone, she was threatened again. Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make any more trouble. After pressing her fingerprints, she prepared to run away dejectedly.

However, before running away, Xie Hongdou returned the engagement token and gave the other party a kind reminder:
"Please remember to send the money before Shen Shimo, otherwise... you know."

Mrs. Wang took the token, smiled awkwardly, said she knew it, and left even faster.

"If the girl doesn't mind, let me, this young boy, go with you and bring the money back."

"Girl, just give me a stool and a pot of water, and let me rest under the eaves."

Jiang Huaizhi simply sent people to the west. Anyway, the journey was not short of half an hour.

"I couldn't ask for more." Xie Hongdou was eager for help.

This young man seems to be much richer than her, and his demeanor alone is not something ordinary people can cultivate, so there is nothing to worry about.

Jiang Huaizhi was very satisfied with the Xie family's knowledge and motioned for the boy to follow him and leave.

It was the other party's luck that he was willing to help.
