Chapter 018 Grandma's Worries
Chapter 18
The carriage slowly walked slowly on the street. After the rain, the mist was awesome on the New Town River. On both sides of the street, the green grass was as shade as the car curtains fluttered in the wind, and the breeze came gently, making it indescribable to feel comfortable.
But Liu Wan was extremely nervous. Her legs were together and her hands were tightly clutching, and she was almost curled up in a corner of the carriage.
Even so, her face was flushed, as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and her heart was beating "thump" and "thump".
She had never had a carriage with a man before.
She and her husband Zhang Qiang were not so close to each other back then. If this matter was spread, her reputation as a big grandmother would be over.
"I can't tell that this Lu family Zheng is not old, but she is full of bad water. At a young age, she is just a disciple. No wonder my aunt can't support her in Jiangning!" She muttered in her heart.
"It's a pity that he can make such a request, so why would anyone want to kill him? This is a bright world in broad daylight. On the ground of Yangzhou, who dares to do anything like that? The Zhang family's carriage is a golden sign on the ground of Yangzhou. Who dares to provoke the Zhang family?"
"Also, even if someone really wants to be unfavorable to Brother Lu Zheng'er, what's the use of me, a woman?"
Liu Wan was full of thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, but she was really soft. Lu Zheng threatened her with a paper, and she had to follow her for Liu Song. Fortunately, she figured it out and went all the way from the west gate of the Zhang family to the yamen. Even if Lu Zheng had the courage, he should not dare to do anything randomly.
As for Liu Wan's lawsuit after she quit the yamen?
"Grandma, don't be too nervous. Sitting there happily and seeing the scenery outside, how beautiful! 'The Jiangnan is beautiful, the scenery is old and I have known it. The flowers in the river are redder than fire when the sun rises, and the river water is as green as blue when spring comes. How can I not remember the Jiangnan?'" Lu Zheng was in a good mood and couldn't help but recite Bai Juyi's "Jiangnan Memories".
The scenery outside at this time is very consistent with this poem.
"Ah..." Liu Wan couldn't help but exclaim.
She is extremely sensitive to poetry. She is widowed at home and is lonely. She only has a few mothers and maids around her. In her spare time, she plays more with some sisters such as Zeng Baoyi. Zeng Baoyi is fond of reading and writing poetry, and Liu Wan gradually likes reading and writing poetry.
She has a calm personality and does not seek utilitarianism and fame. Reading is reading, and she has no other thoughts. She writes poetry, but she never expects to make a big splash. This state of mind has made her very profitable and obsessed with it.
In the eyes of experts like her, these poems that Lu Zheng just read were simply shocking and shocking!
She exclaimed, Lu Zheng said "Hmm?" and turned his head to look at her. It happened that Liu Wan was also looking at Lu Zheng. The two of them looked at each other. Liu Wan quickly lowered her head, and her heart was "bounced" even more violently!
Lu Zheng laughed silently, but he felt a little distracted. The woman in front of him was so charming. She was gentle and quiet, without makeup, but she was naturally beautiful. She flew her cheeks and was naturally romantic.
"Does Big Grandma understand poetry?" Lu Zheng said.
Liu Wan bit her lips and said nothing, thinking to herself: "Xiao Dengtuzi, I designated a poem that I plagiarized from where I meant to be innovative and attract attention! As for his pickled goods, he became famous in Jiangning without learning and ignorance. He said that he could not even succeed in teaching, so how could he write poetry?"
As soon as she thought of this, she made up her mind to stop talking. Lu Zheng knew that the other party had a misunderstanding, and he didn't care much, and said:
"Grandma, we're at the yamen in front of us. Please wait and see Madam Wang. I'll go to the yamen to withdraw the complaint, and then take my uncle out. When we go back, the matter will be over!"
Liu Wan let out a long breath, she glanced at the outside with her eyes, and indeed glanced at the big bluestone lion at the entrance of the county government. Her mood couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
When he arrived at the county government office, Lu Zheng asked to park the car, and then went into the government office to do business.
Someone in Dakang's yamen asked for justice, and the yamen paid attention to it. The inspector and prison did not say anything about the prosecutor. Lu Zheng came to withdraw the complaint. The yamen received a notice the day before. The yamen runners and envoys had already received the benefits of the Zhang family, and they wanted Lu Zheng to withdraw the complaint!
So everything went smoothly, and Qi Biao didn't suffer much. In less than half an hour, everything was done, and Lu Zheng took Qi Biao out of the yamen.
He got on the carriage and Liu Wan said, "Brother Zheng, have you all your confessions withdrawn?"
"Grandma, how can I not withdraw my case? If the complaint is not removed, where can my uncle come out? He will still have to sue!"
Liu Wan then said, "Brother Zheng, I am a widowed person. It is not advisable to have a car with me. Please don't break the etiquette of my uncle and sister-in-law..."
"Ah?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, laughing and crying. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Wan. The woman's face was flushed and her eyes were dodging, but her expression was extremely firm.
"Grandma, you are destroying the bridge across the river!"
Liu Wan said: "Brother Zheng has removed the lawsuit, I am very grateful, but... But... But the women and men and women cannot resist the defense. Please understand."
Come on, Liu Wan turned her back. This woman who is as weak as water is not a soft persimmon that people knead!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zheng said, "Grandma, do you know that the journey back to Zhang Mansion is extremely dangerous? Do you really think we can go back safely?"
Liu Wan rolled her eyes a rare look, and this look showed her attitude.
She believed that only Lu Zheng had a ghost!
The world is bright and bright, who dares to act violently in the street?
Lu Zheng's mind was running rapidly. This situation was not within his plan. This woman suddenly turned against her. What should I do?
Lu Zheng can consider using strong, but a weak woman like Liu Wan is not a scheming bitch like Hua Hanjun. Lu Zheng really can't bear to bully a female person.
It seems that today I can only find another way!
He lifted the curtains, waved at Qi Biao, said a few words in his ear, and gave a few words to him.
Then he sighed and said, "Grandma, it seems that you can't believe me today. I wanted to protect you from going back. Now you can only go back alone. If you really encounter danger, remember to shout "Help" immediately!
The louder the sound, the better! If the sound is low, I am afraid I will encounter danger, do you know?"
Liu Wan bit her lips and didn't say anything, but rolled her eyes. Lu Zheng carefully looked outside and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam Wang, go around the yamen first, I'll buy a silver box for the girls..."
...
In Fuyun Restaurant, the wine and food were all on, and the stage was placed in the yard. Before the main show was played, two girls from the pear garden were singing small songs on the stage. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and everyone had some expectations in their hearts.
Ying'er came down from the backyard of the restaurant in a panic, looked around, and was about to rush out of the yard and headed to the street. Zhang Baoyi behind her screamed, suddenly jumped out of the shadow on the side, put his hand on her waist, and said, "Ying'er, are you scared?"
Ying'er was so scared that she let out a long breath, patted her chest and said, "Grand girl, if you don't bring such a person, you'll scare me to death!"
Zhang Baoyi said: "I am not happy to see you, and I am just teasing you! What's wrong? Are you still angry with Brother Hao?"
"Brother Hao really likes you. We are here to play today to deal with Lu Zheng's fool. This time, the second sister-in-law personally arranged the person, and that kid is finished today! Alas, we can't blame the second sister-in-law for being cruel. Some things are human life!
Brother Hao likes you, this is your fate. Even if someone wants to make you unhappy, he will definitely turn bad luck into good luck and everything will be fine!"
Zhang Baoyi comforted Ying'er, but Ying'er was anxious.
She just realized that the second grandmother had arranged an ambush a long time ago, and just waited for Lu Zheng to turn around from the yamen. She probably had to take action. Poor Lu Zheng went to the yamen stupidly. Isn't this seeking death?
"Second grandma is really cruel! I advised the third master yesterday to ask him to withdraw his case today, and immediately led Mr. Qi back to Jiangning. Now it seems that the second master doesn't even want to give him this opportunity!"
Ying'er thought about this in her heart, and wanted to go to the yamen to report the message to Lu Zheng but couldn't get out.
Zhang Baoyi's persuasion not only did not make her feel cheerful, but instead made her sad and she burst into tears.
"The big girl is right, everything is life! That's how Mr. Lu San's life is. It's decided from the first day he entered the Zhang family in Yangzhou. Even if I report to him today, can he hide from the first day of the first day of the lunar calendar and can he escape the fifteenth day?
And myself, Master Lu San is gone, how is my life destined?"
When Zhang Baoyi saw Ying'er crying, she was a little panicked and said, "Good Ying'er, stop crying! I know you are wronged, don't worry, after today, I promise not to let you suffer, okay?"
Zhang Baoyi and Ying'er were talking here, and suddenly they heard someone yelling upstairs: "Here, come, the carriage is coming!"
Ying'er immediately stopped crying, but her heart was raised to her throat.
"Let's go upstairs and take a closer look!" Zhang Baoyi took Ying'er's hand and the two went to Fuyun Restaurant.
Standing on the restaurant, the situation on the street was clearly visible. Sure enough, a carriage slowly drove over from the county government. The one who drove was still Ma Ma Wang, and Qi Biao was following behind the car. The carriage walked forward slowly, and seemed to have no idea of any danger.
Hua Hanjun stared at the cars on the street, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, while Zhang Haoran was even more explicit, he was just dancing:
"Okay, today I want to see where the person named Lu is running! Hehe, Brother Xu is ready, right under the restaurant. Now this kid is too late even if he wants to run away!" Zhang Haoran said, with a ferocious look on his face.
He looked at Ying'er and pointed his finger downstairs.
Ying'er then saw that the diners on the first floor of the Fuyun Restaurant were all domestic slaves and thugs gathered by Xu Liang and others. At first glance, there were as many as thirty or forty people. When they saw the carriage, they all stood up one after another, walked out of the restaurant, and rushed towards the street in an encirclement.
