The next morning, Li Jinglan took Lu Guanyu to Teacher Wang's house.

As soon as they saw Liu, Li Jinglan and Lu Guanyu knelt down together.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for saving my life!"

Although Liu was not present at yesterday's event, she participated in the entire process.

Seeing Li Jinglan kneeling down, he quickly stepped forward to support her: "You are too polite, kid."

"If my mother hadn't gone to ask the county magistrate's wife for help, I wouldn't have been able to hire archers."

Li Jinglan refused to get up and kowtowed three times.

The day before yesterday, the servant not only came to give Lu Bozhou money, but also brought Li Jinglan's letter for help.

Liu was startled.

After discussing with Instructor Wang, he immediately went to see the county magistrate's wife.

That's why the archers entered the Lu family compound and set up an ambush.

"Lu Xuande is so vicious that he actually brought eight strong men into the main courtyard. He deserves to die." Liu cursed in hatred.

If Li Jinglan had not seen the opportunity quickly, she would have been humiliated by Lu Xuande's men and would have had no choice but to commit suicide.

Li Jinglan took out sixty-six taels of silver: "Yesterday, Lu Xuande took out one hundred taels of silver as compensation, and also wrote me an IOU for another one hundred taels of silver."

"I gave fifteen taels to the yamen runners and archers who came to help me."

"You also know that our family has been ruined by Lu Zhangshi, so we can't come up with any decent gifts."

"I can only take out 66 taels from this 100 taels, and I beg you to give the silver to the county magistrate's wife to thank her for saving my family's life."

Li Jinglan said this, not allowing Liu to refuse, and kowtowed to Liu again.

"This head is for the county magistrate's wife."

"You kid!" Liu pulled Li Jinglan up. "You've already kowtowed. I promise to deliver the silver to you."

Liu looked at Li Jinglan with concern: "Is there enough money in the family?"

Nanny Liu was right next to her, and she knew how much silver Li Jinglan had.

So, Li Jinglan didn't hide anything.

"To be honest, Auntie, Mrs. Lu Zhang left so suddenly that she didn't have time to pack up her belongings. I found four or five hundred taels of silver in the bedroom. I haven't checked the storeroom yet, so I don't know if there's any left."

Li Jinglan had money and did not hide it at all, so Liu looked at Li Jinglan with a higher opinion of him.

Put these sixty-six taels away.

Then he looked at Li Jinglan with a smile: "Why are there gifts with both whole and small amounts?"

"Everything is going well! Thanks to the county magistrate's wife, my life will be smooth in the future. I also want to let the county magistrate's wife know about this joy."

Li Jinglan walked to the side, poured a cup of tea for Liu, and held it in both hands to Liu.

"My aunt is my own family member, but my niece-in-law not only refused to give me any gifts, but she also shamelessly asked for a meal from my aunt."

Liu took the tea and laughed heartily: "Whatever you want to eat, just order it."

Then he asked Li Jinglan, "What are you going to do with Lu Xuande?"

Li Jinglan showed an embarrassed expression: "Based on the crime he committed, it is reasonable to send him to the authorities."

"But he is still Bozhou's uncle. If he is really sent to the government, how can Bozhou live his life in the future? Wouldn't he be criticized for his whole life?"

"So I secretly thought that as long as Lu Xuande doesn't cause trouble in the future, we can just pretend that this incident never happened and let it go in a muddle."

Speaking of it.

Li Jinglan sighed.

An expression that said, "I really don't want to endure it, but I have to endure it because of filial piety."

Liu nodded slightly: "I was just trying to persuade you to suppress this matter."

"If Bozhou wants to take the imperial examination, he has to swallow this loss. When this matter is mentioned in the future, everyone will praise him for his tolerance, which will be of great benefit to Bozhou's reputation."

Only someone who truly understands how scholars protect their reputation would have advised Lu Bozhou to swallow his anger.

It's like lying on the ice to catch a carp.

Wang Xiang from Jin was filial to his stepmother. He would lie on the ice to catch fish for her in winter.

In order to eat some fish, she asked her stepson to go on the ice to help her catch fish in the middle of winter and was ridiculed for thousands of years.

Wang Xiang was included in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars.

Wang Xiang was promoted for his filial piety for many years, and his stepmother was ridiculed for many years.

In his previous life, Lu Bozhou killed Lu Xuande's entire family.

Not only did killing people fail to solve the problem, but he was also often brought up by ministers to denounce Lu Bozhou's cruelty.

By nailing Lu Xuande's entire family to Xishui Village as a pillar of shame, Lu Bozhou can gain fame for the rest of his life.

When you lose your fame in the future, prepare a gift and go visit Lu Xuan De.

The fame rose.

After chatting with Liu for a while, Li Jinglan got up and went to find Lu Bozhou.

After Li Jinglan left, Liu stared at the sixty-six taels of silver on the table for a while.

She felt that Li Jinglan wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the county magistrate's wife.

If it were someone else, Liu really wouldn't be willing to get involved.

But she liked Li Jinglan very much and he was very methodical in his conduct and work.

As long as Lu Bozhou can pass the examination and become a scholar.

She took Li Jinglan to meet the county magistrate's wife.

The wife of a boy.

The county magistrate's wife really doesn't want to see him.

He said, "Send someone to the backyard of the county government office to deliver a visiting card, saying that I will visit after lunch."

Li Jinglan arrived at the front yard where Lu Bozhou lived.

Lu Bozhou was extremely happy, "Concentrate your mind and pour the tea."

After pouring the tea, Lu Bozhou did not let Ningxin bring it over.

Instead, he held the teacup and handed it to Li Jinglan: "Madam, have some tea."

"Thank you, husband." Li Jinglan took the tea bowl.

Thinking that the tea bowl was the one he used daily, if Li Jinglan drank the tea it would be equivalent to indirect contact.

Lu Bozhou's lips began to heat up uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"My husband, are you feeling well?" Li Jinglan asked.

This gentle voice sounded like sugar to Lu Bozhou's ears, so sweet that it was sickening.

Lu Bozhou felt a faint sweetness in his heart: "I took medicine this morning. I have to take medicine three times a day."

"You have to take medicine on time, then you will be healthy." Li Jinglan told him everything in detail.

There was no reason for her to hide what she had done from Lu Bozhou, the beneficiary.

She had to let Lu Bozhou know how much danger she was in.

This lecture took more than half an hour.

Lu Bozhou was so nervous after hearing this that he couldn't help but grab Li Jinglan's hand.

Li Jinglan was sitting next to him.

By chance, he caught my finger.

I was stunned for a moment.

Lu Guanyu, who was talking to Lu Zhongyu in the yard, was a little worried about the situation in the house and ran over to take a look.

Seeing that her elder brother was holding Li Jinglan's hand, Li Jinglan lowered her head, as if she was shy.

I couldn't help but show a happy expression.

Lu Guanyu returned to the yard, "Sister-in-law and eldest brother are doing well."

She didn't even realize it, but she put her sister-in-law before her eldest brother.

"Are you okay at home?" Lu Zhongyu asked her.

"Okay, my sister-in-law handed over the kitchen to me and found several playmates for me." Lu Guanyu's face was full of smiles when he mentioned Li Jinglan.

Then, she lowered her voice and said quietly: "Sister-in-law gave you fifty taels of silver so that you can buy a carriage and find a driver."

"She also said she would make new clothes for you and buy you sachets and jade pendants."

Ning Xin came from the kitchen carrying two plates of pastries and happened to hear the words about buying a carriage.

He placed a plate of cakes in front of Lu Guanyu and asked softly, "Miss, what kind of carriage?"

If someone suddenly speaks out while you are whispering, you will be startled.

Lu Guanyu's heart skipped a beat with fright.

When I turned around and saw Ning Xin's face, I was frightened again.

He patted his chest and said fearfully: "Oh my god, I was scared."

Ning Xin was asking, "What carriage?"

Lu Zhongyu took a quick glance and found that his sister was really frightened.

He frowned and said, "Guan Yu was frightened by you."

Ning Xin was hurt by these words and raised her face, "Is it because I am too ugly that I scared the young lady?"

Lawrence Lu’s voice was slightly cold: “You scared her by speaking suddenly.”

Am I speaking suddenly?

After all, isn't it because of my face?

Ning Xin felt extremely aggrieved: "From now on, I will find a veil to cover my face and promise not to scare the young lady again."

Lawrence Lu’s face darkened: “We still have something to say, you go and get busy.”

Ning Xin gritted her teeth and bent her knees: "I will leave now."

Lu Guanyu's face fell and he snorted, "What?"

Hearing this hum, Lu Zhongyu was a little surprised.

My sister used to be timid, but today she dared to show her temper.

From this we can see that the sister-in-law really loves her younger sister.

My sister only behaves like a child when she is happy.

Lawrence Lu stared at the white jade hairpin in his sister’s hair: “The hairpin is very beautiful.”

Lu Guanyu started chattering about how the bailiffs came to search the house that day and how Li Jinglan didn't want anything, but kept all the white jade hairpins just because she mentioned a white hairpin.

"This hairpin is so beautiful, it must have been worn by my mother."

Lu Guanyu pulled out the hairpin and showed it off to Lu Zhongyu, "Take a look at it and see if it looks good."

Lu Zhongyu took the hairpin and inserted it into his hair without hesitation, "It looks better on me."

Then he was satisfied to see Lu Guanyu pouting his little mouth and laughing happily.

Lu Guanyu glared at him and put his hands on his hips: "Humph, there are still some at home. My sister-in-law gave me a big jewelry box full of jewelry. I will wear this today and that tomorrow. You will be mad at me."

Every word he says is about his sister-in-law.

Lu Zhongyu smiled.

then.

Lu Guanyu rolled his fingers into a tube and put them close to Lu Zhongyu's ear.

"You know what? I can earn one or two taels of silver every month now."

"It's a pity that I was fined ten cents because I didn't do anything good."

He gave Lu Guanyu silver as a monthly allowance, but then deducted ten cents from her?

Lu Zhongyu raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something: “Do you know how many coins one tael of silver can be exchanged for?”

"Ah?" Lu Guanyu was at a loss.

"Learn how to do accounting from your sister-in-law." Lu Zhongyu pursed his lips and smiled.

My sister has someone to protect her.

very nice.

The three brothers and sisters were no longer alone and helpless.

that's nice!

Lu Zhongyu turned his head and looked at the door.

that's nice!
