Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 108 Warm Sleeves
Before they could discuss anything, another yamen servant came over, but this time it was aimed at Qiu Changrong.

Qiu Changrong was no better than Lin Song, he didn't dare to resist, he just thought that they had arrested the wrong person, and started talking about it, and then he was beaten severely by the yamen servants a few times, so he didn't dare to speak.

After he was captured, it inevitably caused a burst of speculation from the crowd.

However, Du Xian's family didn't participate in it. Du Xian walked around the house without knowing how troubled he was. Fortunately, the Qin family returned to the village in the afternoon.

Mrs. Zhao brought tea, sat down and asked, "But Brother Lin was released?" She was familiar with Mrs. Qin, and she thought it was a good thing from the look on her face, and her tone showed a bit of relaxation.

"It's not just released, you guys can't guess what's going on, oops, I was really wrong before!" Qin took a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, as if she wanted to tell a story.

Could it be that Lin Song exposed his identity?

Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyu's appetite was also whetted, and he hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Auntie, tell me quickly, I didn't even see how anxious my father is!"

Mrs. Qin glanced at Du Xian, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, big brother, big brother Lin is arrogant now, the county magistrate not only didn't arrest him, but flattered him, and invited him to dinner in Wangyue Tower just now, the gang of yamen servants all look like It’s like a grandson.” She said and laughed, “The one named Gan Yuan was the one who wanted to arrest you yesterday, he was beaten twenty times, and he was directly disabled! By the way, you know that Qiu Changrong was arrested right?"

Hearing that Lin Song was really fine, Du Xian finally heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "That nasty villain was arrested early in the morning, and word spread in the village, of course we know."

"He was beaten even worse. Thirty boards, I don't think he will live long!" Qin covered her mouth, "I was also worried about Brother Lin, so I went to watch the trial. It turned out that he was the one who colluded with the horse bandits. The yamen servant surnamed Gan wanted to frame Big Brother Lin! The county magistrate was furious, and immediately ordered someone to slap him, ouch, that was miserable, you didn’t hear that.” She clicked her tongue twice, and her eyes lit up again, “ Who else are you sitting in the hall, brother Lin, the county magistrate wants to listen to him in everything!"

"What?" He was shocked.

"Brother Lin is not an ordinary person!" Qin shook her head, "Why didn't I see it before, hey!" I only thought he was a martial artist, but I didn't expect that he was a person who would not even dare to offend the county lord. I should have known It should be good to curry favor with ah!
Du Xian's eyes were shining, he had always admired Lin Song, and now that he knew that he was such a character, he felt that he had not misjudged him before.

Only Mrs. Zhao was full of worries, with an indelible sadness in her eyes.

As for Du Xiaoyu, she didn't enjoy listening to it at all. She had long felt that Lin Song was extraordinary, and thought that she could learn his true identity from Qin's mouth, but it seemed that she was looking forward to it in vain.

In the end, I still don't know what Lin Song does!
Is it an official older than the county head?

What officer?
Is there any official who doesn't need to tap every day, but can run around?

no idea!

But what is certain is that there will be another wave of Lin Song fever in Beidong Village, and the pro-marriage incident that just faded away a while ago may be revived again.

"There is something else I want to tell you today," Qin said with a mysterious look again, "I saw Mother Lianhua went to the pawn shop."

"Pawn shop?" Several other people immediately showed puzzled expressions, including Du Xiaoyu.

Because pawnshops are not a good place. In ancient times, they were equivalent to loan sharks. Some people who were short of money had no place to borrow money and put some things there as collateral. It seemed very convenient, but in fact, many people lost their homes because of it.

The interest it asks is quite high!

But Cui shouldn't be someone who has no money to spend, why does she go to the pawn shop?
Although the Bai family can't be called rich, their current situation is not much worse than their current situation, and no matter how you look at it, they will not be reduced to pawning things.

So Mrs. Zhao was the first to say, "Don't you misread the person?"

"My eyesight is very good." Qin rolled her eyes, "This is not the first time. I still remember the incident with Bai Lianhua last time. She also went to the pawn shop. At that time, she didn't pay attention when she said that she slipped. Now that I think about it, she said that she separated from her daughter because she went to the pawn shop by herself."

Du Xiaoyu doesn't remember the details, but Qin is not a nonsense person. Although she puts her interests first, she still doesn't bother to tell such lies.

"But why is she going to the pawn shop? Isn't it okay to pawn things?"

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Qin smiled, "It's really a pawn! I saw her go and went in to ask the guy. I said that I was related to her. I was afraid that she would lose face and be embarrassed to say that the family was in trouble. I wanted to ask That guy is easy to talk to, because she's been there three times as a pawn."

Several people were silent.

After a while, Du Xian shook his head and said, "Could it be that he owes someone money? Their family is not like that. Brother Bai likes to fish for fun, and he is not a gambler. How could he treat it as something?"

"That's right, how many relatives do they have in their family? Could it be that they are going to take this step instead of borrowing money?" Mrs. Zhao also couldn't figure it out.

Du Xiaoyu was also at a loss.

"Anyway, their Bai family is weird, you'd better stay away." Qin shi left after leaving a word of advice.

In the evening, Lin Song came back, sent back by several yamen servants, nodded and bowed vigorously, and left at the gate of the martial arts hall.

At this time, the villagers also learned what Qin said before, and they surrounded a large group of people. Needless to say, Du Xiaoyu couldn't stand it anyway, and went home early after visiting Lin Song with Du Xian.

I heard that the people who gave wine and flattered horses over there continued to make trouble until midnight.

In the next few days, I heard some gossip one after another, saying that a steward of the magistrate happened to be at the county lord that day, and he recognized Lin Song and told the county lord.But in the end, no one knew Lin Song's true identity. Maybe the county master didn't get the consent, so he couldn't reveal it casually.

Lin Song still went his own way and opened a martial arts gym in the village, that is to say, there were twice as many disciples as before.

Du Xiaoyu asked Mrs. Zhao for some cotton this day, and fiddled with some snow-white rabbit skins in the yard by herself.

Seeing that the weather was going to be cold, she planned to make some sleeve warmers, stuff them with cotton, and sew rabbit fur inside and out. It would be comfortable to warm her hands by then, so she just made two and gave them to Du Huanghua and Du Wenyuan.

After working on it for three or four days, it finally took shape. Mrs. Zhao praised the beauty when she saw it, saying that the rabbit fur feels soft and warm, and it is the most suitable for making sleeve warmers. It is both beautiful and practical. position.

Du Xiaoyu was of course happy with her affirmation, and went on to get a third one, and she wanted to make one for her mother no matter what.

Before you know it, it's August.

The weather is getting cooler, and even in the sunny noon, you have to wear a jacket. A few trees outside the yard have begun to drop their leaves, fluttering like yellow-brown butterflies.

Du Xian walked in with a sullen face, his footsteps were windy.

Du Xiaoyu saw it, and asked strangely, "What's the matter, dad, who messed with you?" He rarely got angry, and he was usually gentle and honest.

Du Xian sighed heavily, and went in with his hands behind his back.

Mrs. Zhao was picking chickens in the chicken coop, thinking that Du Wenyuan would come back in a few days and slaughter a hen to nourish his body.

"Hey, that Bai family is not good!" Du Xian opened his mouth and said.

"Why, are they urging you again?"

"No, I went to find Dr. Zhao today." Du Xian frowned, "Doctor Zhao said that Bai Yushi's body was not cured at all."

Mrs. Zhao had suspected this for a long time, so she wasn't too surprised. She just asked, "Then Doctor Zhao heard that he has something to do with the Bai family, so why did he tell you this?"

"I don't know about this. Anyway, what he said is well-founded, and I can't be wrong. This Bai family is too shameful. He obviously knows it himself, but he still has to drag us into the water! If you are sincere, even if you To be honest, if Huang Hua is willing, let's figure out a way to cure the disease together, isn't it all right? Why bother to lie!"

"You don't need to pay attention to them. If you dare to come again next time, I don't care about any feelings!"

"I think that's the only way to go. I thought... Hey, what a pity!" Du Xian was very regretful, "Our Huang Hua also missed their son."

The two talked for a while before they came out of the backyard.

Du Xiaoyu put down the sleeve warmer in his hand, went up to meet him and said, "Father, mother, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing her seriousness, Du Xian straightened up involuntarily.

"It's going to be cold soon. The small wooden shed is a bit drafty. The big rabbit is fine, but the little rabbit may not be able to bear it. I want to simply build a big house to raise rabbits. The small shed is a bit crowded. I bought more than a dozen rabbits, and the cages alone cost dozens of them!"

Du Xian looked at Mrs. Zhao, "What do you think of her mother?" He must agree, as long as it is about the youngest daughter, he will definitely support it with all his strength.

Mrs. Zhao also saw that the rabbits were selling well, so there was no one who was unwilling, so she nodded immediately, "You can help her out. Since she is afraid of the cold, this big room is connected to the kitchen, so there is some heating in winter."

Du Xiaoyu laughed immediately, "Mother is still thoughtful."

"Well, I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow. How big is your room?"

"The bigger the better."

The father and daughter then met and discussed.

After talking for a while, Du Xian turned his head and saw Mrs. Zhao went in, and said in a low voice, "Do you have enough money? You bought rabbits and cages, and the iron cages are not cheap. Now you have to build a house." .”

"It's enough. Besides, isn't it still selling stewed rabbits?" Anyway, even if you lose money in the early stage, you have to invest in it. Fortunately, Du Wenyuan returned ten taels of silver, so it won't be used up.

"That's good." Du Xian nodded, "Do you need anything else, father will solve it for you once."

Du Xiaoyu went back to the room and gave him a picture, which showed some wooden shelves for placing rabbit cages, and the two talked for a while before they went to their respective ways.
