Pastoral Five Siblings

a The fast carriage was galloping on the avenue paved with loess, the road was full of smoke and dust, the loess road was not as good as the asphalt roads of later generations, it was dirty and bumpy, Yu Chun had walked this road several times, but he got used to it a lot.

The little girl, who was motion sick, still vomited as usual. Yuchun made her drink a lot of sour plum soup, but the vomit was lighter than last time.

Yuchun and the others set off in the afternoon to go to court tomorrow, and they won't be able to keep up when they come back tomorrow.

Before the sun set, I arrived at the county seat and found a hotel to stay.

I ordered three rooms, one for Mr. Chai, four for Yuchun and Jingniang, and two for Yuchun and Jingniang. After settling down, we went to the restaurant below for dinner. This hotel is very luxurious and there are many people eating. Li Xue and Jingniang both wear With the veiled hats on, you can only see their figures, not their faces.

Yuchun and Xiaoya didn't wear them. Xiaoya thinks that she is plain and won't attract attention, and she is only 13 years old. She is still a child at this age. Although Yuchun is as tall as Xiaoya, she is only 12 years old. , even more immature, Yuchun doesn't like curtain hats, they are hot and simmering.Still press the head.

At such a young age, I don't shy away from being looked at by others.

Yuchun secretly rejoiced that it was good to be young, and Jingniang didn't shy away from Mr. Chai, so they all sat together and occupied a table, and Xiaoer handed over the menu. When Yuchun saw the menu, his heart moved. Look at that It's the first time I've seen the name of the dish written on it, except that it's stewed or boiled, but there are really no stir-fried dishes.

Stewed fish with tofu, boiled white sliced ​​meat, grilled flying dragon, grilled venison, grilled fish, stewed fresh carp, boiled crab.There are still many dishes.

After Yuchun ordered all these, he asked Mr. Chai to choose again, "Father, see what else you want to eat and order a few more."

"I said I don't worry about that. What you order is not all that father is willing to eat. Who can eat so much." One dish is enough for one person.

The dishes are served.Yuchun smelled grilled fish and grilled meat so similar to his own grilled fish, and was sniffling to distinguish the smell, when he heard: "Mr. Chai, what a coincidence."

Several people turned their heads and looked: "I was surprised in my heart, what a coincidence, they also came here."

Zhong Ionjun, Chu Li, and the two approached.Chu Li greeted: "Master, what a coincidence, I want to invite you for this meal.

"Fuck you! Chu Li, you're pissing me off!" Zhong Ion glared at Chu Li, and Chai Lao said, "What are you two arguing about?"

"This is my family's tavern. Chu Li is arguing with me. He is slapping me. Look at the barbecue here is made by Yuchun's recipe. You should not charge money when you come to eat every day." Zhong Ionjun Having said that, Yuchun answered his words and said, "I've already smelled that smell."

Zhong Ionjun said: "Why did you come down here? How can you eat while wearing a veiled hat? Let's go to the private room on the second floor."

Zhong Ionjun ordered the waiter who served the dishes: "Take the dishes on the table to the private room and serve two tables. Each table needs sixteen dishes, pick the best ones and serve them."

Yuchun saw that he had to move.It's really troublesome, it's true that Jing Niang and Li Xue couldn't eat while wearing the veiled hat.

It turned out to be Zhongli Old Fox's hotel, and the Malatang he cooperated with Old Fox was in the provincial capital and the capital. Seeing how prosperous this hotel is, the ones in the capital must be more profitable.

Mr. Chai was dragged to another private room by Zhong Ionjun, only four of Yuchun and the others were left, and no one looked at their mouths. Jingniang and Li Xue took off their veils, and the four of them started eating.

Although the little girl vomited, she didn't have a big appetite, but when she smelled the barbecue, her appetite came up immediately. Although there are many dishes, the restaurant's dishes are not big: "Eat hard, and throw away the rest." Yuchun urged several people to eat fast : "Pick and eat what you like, and throw away what you don't want to eat."

A few people were also hungry all the way along the bumpy road, so no one was polite, and they ate a big meal.

Li Xue said, "Yuchun, why don't you eat roasted venison?"

"I don't want to eat grilled things at all. I had no food at that time. I went to the mountains to grill fish, and I didn't have time to cook at the barbecue restaurant. I stuffed some grilled fish into my mouth every day at noon. It was enough."

As soon as Yuchun said that, Jingniang became interested: "Yuchun, you are so young, why do you want to make money?"

"Isn't there a way to survive? The Tao family wants to sell me, and I want to run away. I don't have travel expenses, and I can't survive when I go out. I have no food. I have grilled fish, so I picked some seasonings in the mountains, grilled the fish, and went to the town. Afterwards, Zhong Ionjun bought all the fish and made money." Yuchun told Jingniang.

"Master Zhongli just said that the barbecue here is your recipe, why didn't you keep the money you earned yourself and give it to someone else?" Jing Niang asked strangely.

"That's a kind of transaction." Yuchun didn't pay attention to it, and Jingniang reminded her when she said it. Zhong Ionjun talked about their confidentiality. Fortunately, he didn't say that he bought it with money. Yuchun was most afraid of it. Lu Hong, many people miss her.

Selling melons to collect money, Yuchun is always behind her back, let the Tao family know how many taels she has, and they will all go crazy.

"Yuchun was vague, but Jingniang understood that she is such a smart person, it must be because Yuchun's account was blackmailed by Zhongli Haosheng, and Fang Zi was in their hands. are all vilified.

Nothing to say all night, wake up in the morning, after washing and grooming, Zhong Ionjun asked Xiaoer to deliver the food to the private room early.

After dinner, Yuchun and Mr. Chai went to the county government office. It was really lively today. I heard that the county government issued a notice to examine the case of returning to the ancestors. Many people listened to the storyteller in the teahouse and said One day's story, a famous and surnamed Tao family in Dangyu Town pretended to be the daughter of the Lin family and blackmailed Chai Xianwei's father 5000 taels of silver.

He was released from prison for half a year, but he was still ruthless. He tried to impersonate himself again and colluded with the rich man. He has already gone to court.

When the storyteller said that the common people went crazy, the county town became boisterous, and the crowds of people watching the excitement blocked the gates of the county government office. It was an explosive anecdote. Relatives and friends all gathered together, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt came hand in hand in groups.The voices of people outside the county government were like a tide, and the noise was like a tsunami.

Chai Xianwei had been here for a long time, and brought Yuchun and the others into the lobby. Chai Rong ordered the guards to move seats, and Mr. Chai and Yuchun sat on one side of the lobby.

Then the people from the plaintiff Tao's family waited outside the lobby, and they were not allowed to enter the lobby without a summons.

Gu Shi and Daqiu Erdong stood together, Chen Shi came with him, Tao Siguo and Tao Yongfu were also there.

Erdong smiled all over his face, Daqiu was also in high spirits, and the corners of Gu's mouth were curved, showing a victor's posture.

Yongming, Yonghui, Yongjiu, and Dongdong squeezed into the crowd, Yonghui saw Gu Shi, and stretched out his hand to hold Yonghui: "Fourth brother, look." Yonghui pointed to Gu Shi's position, Yonghui Seeing it, Yongming saw it, and Gu Shi also saw them, so excited in his heart, he shouted loudly: "Yongming! Yonghui! Eternal! Come!"

Daqiu quickly squeezed in front of Yongming and the others, and stretched out his hand to grab Yongming: "Come over, mother wants you to identify that girl as the Tao family."

Yongming shook off Daqiu's hand, never looked at Gu's again, and pulled Yonghui Yongjiu, Dongdong blocked Daqiu at the end, and the three of them squeezed to the gate of the yamen, joining Chu Li and Zhong Ion.

A few people wanted to go in, but were stopped by the yamen guards at the door: "Brother Chu, how can we get in?" Yong Yong was anxious: "Brother Zhongli, is there a way to get in?"

Chu Li said: "Lieutenant Chai led Master and the others in. We had to call Lieutenant Chai to pick us up. How could these government officials let us in?"

"But Zhong Ionjun said: "Don't wait, we will go in by ourselves. "

"Follow me." Zhong Ionjun took out two or five taels of silver bills: "Go!" Several people squeezed forward, and when they reached the guard, Zhong Ionjun waved the silver bills in his hand. The eyes of the door were shaken blind, seeing that the banknotes looked like a dozen, he couldn't help being dizzy for a while, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.

Zhong Ionjun retracted his hand, and the two guards panicked, "All of you go in."

The four of Yong Ming squeezed in, Chu Li followed closely, and Zhong Ion gave the bank note to the gatekeeper after entering the gate. The two guards almost snatched the bank note, and finally looked at the bank note, feeling happy. bloomed.

There are two worlds in the hall and outside, there is no sound inside, the county magistrate has not yet come to the hall, and the yamen servants have not moved, only Mr. Chai and the others are sitting there quietly.

Chu Li shouted: "Master! You are so early."

Yongjiu also shouted: "Master!" and they came to Chai Lao's side.

Seeing Yongming and the others coming, Yuchun thought: Isn't this adding to the trouble?The Tao family will definitely use them to identify themselves: "If you are not allowed to come, when did you come here?"

When Yuchun saw Dongdong, he felt embarrassed to continue,

"Third Sister." Yong Yong whispered, "We will testify in court, you are not from the Tao family."

Yuchun's heart warmed, it turned out that they did it for this reason: "This is not a place to talk too much, be careful not to call me sister."

Listening to Yuchun's words, Yongjiu nodded again and again: "I must be careful." Yongjiu and Yonghui murmured together.

Yonghui whispered to Yongming again, secretly talking for a while.

He sat down with Dongdong and the others, and they kept biting their ears.

Chu Li, Zhong Ionjun, and Chai Lao kept talking in low voices.Yuchun and the little girls waited silently, they had already said what should be said, and they had asked what should be said several times.

In the silent lobby, only the noise from outside could be heard: "Why is the session still open? What time is it? It's almost noon. What case are you still trying?"

There was only a sound of the gavel "Papa Papa!" shaking the hall, and the magistrate Shi sat on the seat in the main hall trembling. "Hey! Hey! Shout out.

County magistrate Shi ordered: "Take the defendant!"

Chai Lao in the hall just said impatiently: "What are you calling!"

Magistrate Shi woke up, and the defendant was already sitting in the hall.

Then there was a roar: "Bring the plaintiff!..." The magistrate Shi's words fell silent, and the yamen servant went out to greet the Tao family: "Tao family, hurry up and enter the lobby!"
