....................................

On this day, Liu Liang was eating wine with his new concubine, Widow Huang, when Liu Liang's wife, Mrs. Mei, brought a plate of food into the room with a bitter face.

Aunt Huang smiled and said, "Oh, my sister has worked hard, why is my sister so happy?"

Mei Shi didn't make a sound, she put the dishes on the table and wanted to leave.

Aunt Huang stood up and said aggrievedly, "Is my sister angry with my sister? I'm sorry, please sit up quickly, my sister will serve you and me."

Liu Liang scolded Mrs. Mei, "Who will you show that bitter melon face to? Why don't you get out and cook."

He waved to Widow Huang again and said with a smile, "Little Lang Hoof, don't provoke me, come and let me give you a kiss. Serve me to my heart's content, and I will let you give birth to a big fat boy to inherit the family business."

Widow Huang sat on Liu Liang's lap and smiled, "My concubine dreams of giving birth to a son..."

The two were laughing and joking, but they heard a group of people breaking into the courtyard.Liu Liang scolded, "That careless woman, who did you let in?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young boy entering the house with a group of yamen servants.

The young man pointed at Mrs. Huang and cursed, "You shameless, immoral woman, you eloped with a wild man not even a year after my second brother died." Then he said to the yamen servant, "Master, this is the one Liu Liang beat my father until he couldn't get out of bed, and even kidnapped my widowed sister-in-law to be a concubine."

One of the yamen servants asked, "Are you Liu Liang?" Seeing Liu Liang nod, he said, "Someone went to the county yamen to accuse you of murder and wounding, and even kidnapped his daughter-in-law as a concubine." He waved his hand again, "Take this The two were tied up and taken to the Yamen."

Liu Liang was very calm, stood up and said, "Is the poor man misunderstood? I am Liu Liang, the steward of Pingyuanhou's mansion, and I once had a relationship with your Master Li..."

The yamen servants couldn't help but tie him up with Widow Huang, and said, "Save your energy and go to the yamen and tell our adults, we are just following orders."

In the morning of the next day, a letter written by Li County Magistrate of Jing County was delivered to the desk in Lord Xie's yamen.

The general idea is that Liu Liang used the name of Pingyuan Hou's steward in the countryside to buy murderers to injure people, occupy fields, rob widows, molested women, and so on.It has aroused the public outrage of the local villagers, and now several bitter families have joined forces to go to the county government to beat drums and express their grievances.

County magistrate Li appeased the sufferer, temporarily put Liu Liang in prison, and hurriedly repaired a letter, asking Mr. Xie how to deal with this matter.

It's just that Marquis Xie is in court now, and he didn't see this letter.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Mei, who was riding in an ox cart, also rushed to Jiange of Mafu and told Aunt Liu that Liu Liang had been taken away by the government servants.

Grandma Liu burst into tears when she heard this. She had been a widow for half her life and had only one lifeline.Although I hate him for not being successful, I can't ignore it.

She hurriedly got up and went to look through the cabinet. Except for April's monthly money, her savings and jewelry had already been taken away by Liu Liang.She took out the purse that Princess Anping asked her to keep, and there were more than twenty left, and the total amount of silver cups in it was less than five taels.Then take off the ring on her hand, this is her last piece of jewelry.

Seeing this, he cried again, "I heard that the servants in the yamen have a big appetite, and this money is not enough for them to stuff their teeth."

After thinking about it, I looked out the window, there was no one in the yard, only a few small birds were chirping on the branches.Xie Xianer and Brother Zhen are taking a nap, and the servants are either sleeping or going out to play.

Look at the wing room on the front left, where Xie Xianer's dowry is installed.From the back room where they live to the wing room, there are a few big trees with luxuriant branches, which can just block other people's eyes.

So she quickly went to the storeroom, picking and picking, and took out a hairpin from a set of gold inlaid jade hairpins, and a hairpin from a set of emerald emerald hairpins.Just as she was about to put it into her bosom, suddenly there was a rustling sound behind her, which made her hands tremble in fright, and the jewelry fell to the ground.Looking back, it was Tai Chi staring at her with round eyes.

She cursed under her breath, "Damn beast."

Taiji shook his beard and yelled at her, "Meow~"

Mother Liu was startled again, stretched out her legs and kicked Tai Chi, and ran out in a hurry.

She went back to the room and wrapped the silver glasses and jewelry in a veil and handed them to Huang Shi, and said, "Give these to Boy Chun secretly, and let him go to the pawn shop to pawn the jewelry. Remember to pawn it alive. Then go to the pawnshop immediately." The county government is going to take care of things, but Liangzi can’t be punished. You go first, and I’ll go back to the mansion to ask the eldest lady, as long as she speaks, Liangzi will be released.” Chunzi is her brother’s son.

Mrs. Mei agreed and went out.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Nanny Liu fixed her hair, changed into her clothes, and left the room.She wanted to go out directly from the back door of the Jiange, but just as she went down the stone steps, she saw Yinshuang walking over.Said, "Mother Liu, Er/Grandma asked you to go to the library and take out the small kang screen with the crystal seat, saying that it is to be placed on the kang to cool down."

Nanny Liu said, "Our eldest lady specifically said that the second/grandmother is too young to cherish things, and the dowry cannot be moved by her for the time being."

Yinshuang said, "I don't dare to pass on these outrageous words. It's unavoidable that I'll suffer. I'd better go and tell Second/Grandma in person."

Gritting her teeth, Grandma Liu had no choice but to open the storeroom and take the kang screen to the upper room.

In the second room, Xie Xian'er was telling stories with her real brother who had just woken up, while a few girls were sewing beside her.

The kang screen was put on the kang, Xie Xian'er asked Mammy Liu to help the egret wire, and then said to a few girls, "You should also learn from Mammy, why the color you matched is not matched by Mammy Liu?" It’s good-looking, these are all skills. Let’s just talk about red and green, some say it’s ugly, and some say Xixi Shi, it depends on how you match it.”

Yinhong smiled and said, "Yes, there are many kinds of red, such as carmine red, scarlet red, imperial concubine red, flame red, bay red, and many kinds of green. The combination of red and green is of course different."

Xie Xian'er pursed her lips and said with a smile, "The master has come, and when it's time to steal the master, you have to steal it."

The maids all smiled and flattered Nanny Liu, asking all kinds of questions, but Nanny Liu was so anxious that she couldn't leave.

Soon, Ping Geer and Fang Geer came. After watching Tai Chi, they became more energetic, and they all clamored to play in the yard.

"You can only play under the tree, don't be too crazy." Xie Xian'er instructed, and asked Celadon to bring honey water to the yard to accompany them.

It was only when the sun went down that Mammy Liu left the Jiange.Ma's mansion is not far from Xie's mansion, it's closer by walking through the alleys through the back door.

Grandma Liu came to the Xie Mansion and went directly to the main courtyard. When she saw Princess Anping, she cried, "...those country bastards are so hateful. Asked for 100 taels of silver. Liangzi is usually honest when he is on an errand, how can he get so much money? They went to the county government to file a complaint, saying that Liangzi robbed the women of the people. However, the county magistrate does not take our Pingyuanhou's mansion seriously. , My Liangzi repeatedly said that he is the steward of Pingyuanhou's mansion, but he was still locked up."
