Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

it is good.

There are still some cucumbers and radishes in the kitchen, um, there should be some fresh bamboo shoots left, and if you catch up with the easy ones, make some noodles with fried sauce. It happens that the eggs are also ready-made. Pan Jinlian wanted to move down the window sill, but she didn't expect a The slippery soup bowl just fell to the ground and broke into four pieces.

Looking at the shards of white porcelain, Pan Jinlian's right eyelid twitched a few times, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

15 Disaster

The author has something to say:

So, the famous Wu Dalang finally got his bento...

PS: It turns out that today is Chinese Valentine’s Day, the cat really is not romantic at all ⊙﹏⊙b

At dinner time, neither Wu Da nor Wu Song came home, Pan Jinlian's right eyelid started to jump around again, could something have happened?Even if something happened to Wu University and he couldn't come back, Wu Song, a catcher, shouldn't be bullied.After thinking for a while, Pan Jinlian untied the apron she just put on, took the door key and went out the door.

"Mom, can you see my uncle is the head of the family? They haven't come back at this time. I'm always worried, as if something big is going to happen."

The lights were still on in Wang Po's tea house, and a few guests were drinking tea with sunflower seeds, chatting about the world.Seeing Pan Jinlian rushing in to inquire, Wang Po hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, also surprised:

"Why, brothers Wu Da and Wu Song didn't go home?"

"That's why I came out to ask my mother, but have you heard any rumors?"

Pan Jinlian was a little flustered. The two of them had never returned so late, and they didn't drink outside. They returned home on time and had dinner every day. All the gestures in the courtyard are honest people.Wang Po was also surprised, rolled her eyes, and persuaded with a smile:

"Isn't the Second Master Wu always the head-hunter? Or if he couldn't come back because of the entertainment, Wu naturally didn't sell out the cakes or met acquaintances to delay the time. These two are Zhang Ba's men, and A hero who fights tigers, what big things can happen in Yanggu County? The lady is worrying too much, here is the right fire-reducing chrysanthemum tea, I will pour you a cup."

Before he finished speaking, a person came straight in from the door of the tea house, gestured with his hands and shouted loudly:

"Something went wrong, something went wrong, Second Master Wu has a big problem!"

The two of them took a closer look, and it turned out to be Brother Yun, who sold pears in a basket every day, wearing a worn-out clothes with air leaks and patches, his face was still clean, and he was full of panic.On weekdays, Brother Yun can't walk anymore at noon, so he goes to Wang Po's tea house to rest, and he also takes advantage of the tea customers to go out and do business. It is very common, so everyone is quite familiar with it.

"What happened, you ran into my store like a monkey boy, be careful to scare my customers, and beat you out with a broom!"

Wang Po hurriedly stopped him from entering the store, but Pan Jinlian hurriedly asked:

"Brother Yun, what happened, tell me quickly!"

"Wu University, Uncle Wu was kicked to death by the Ximen official who opened the pharmacy in the county!" Brother Yun rolled his eyes, picked up a tea bowl nearby, and poured the remaining tea into his mouth. Ten said, "I just walked to the edge of the small bridge on the east side of the county today, and I saw a man come and stop me, saying that he was buying some pears. The sister-in-law of the Liu family was looking for that foreign businessman, so she played with him in the hope of getting a few more rewards, and then I heard him say that Uncle Wu somehow offended the official Ximen, and let him kick him, and he was kicked in the street. Didn't get up."

"He's not kidding you, is he?"

Pan Jinlian was startled, with a vaguely anxious look on her face, she just pulled Brother Yun and asked.Seeing that Pan Jinlian and Wang Po looked disbelieving, Brother Yun pointed to the sky and swore:

"It's true. Later, I went to the yamen to have a look. There was a lot of trouble. I said that the second master Wu rushed out as soon as he saw Uncle Wu's body with a knife. The arresters thought he was Didn’t she go to seek revenge from the senior officials of Ximen, so she hurriedly followed her, and she was turned on her back for a while. Am I coming back to report to you now, the lady of the Wu family should have a bottom line in her heart.”

Seeing Pan Jinlian's appearance, Wang Po suddenly became quiet, not knowing what to say.

"Mom, I've always known that you have a lot of contacts, and I'm afraid you have acquaintances in the yamen. I want you to take me to the yamen gate."

Pan Jinlian was silent for a while, feeling that the only way to know whether this is true or not, thinking about it was her own duty, Wang Po did not do anything deviant, logically Wu University should not have suffered such a calamity, how come To such a point?When she returned home in a daze, Pan Jinlian didn't care to change her clothes. She just wore the gray-blue long gown that she cooked at home, her hair was tied up with a cloth scarf, and she locked the door with a bag of money in her hand.

When she left the gate, Wang Po also brought Xing'er back to watch the house, while she waited at the gate with a handkerchief.

"Let's go."

"Okay, old man, let me see what's going on with my wife."

The two quickened their pace and came to the gate of the yamen, but the building was already empty. There were not many arrests, but the two gatekeepers were yawning and standing beside the Drum of Mingyuan, both of whom were already sleepy.Relying on the fact that she has eaten more food for a few years and has gained a lot of knowledge, Wang Po stepped forward and asked for a while, and the two tolerances were very polite when they saw that they were the family members of the tiger-fighting heroes, and they handed over a blessing to them:

"You don't need to look for the lady. The second master Wu is in the Yamen, but now he is a prisoner and is being held in a prison awaiting trial. I think you might as well go to the prison to get some care."

"Since this is the case, I need to bother you two. We women don't know what's going on. I hope that the two of you will help us deal with it."

Pan Jinlian tugged on the sleeve of Wang Po, telling her not to speak, and went forward to salute herself, and then took out some money in her pocket to buy wine for the two of them.Those two were also somewhat loyal, they didn't ask for money, but they brought them to the back door of the yamen and asked someone to go in.When they arrived at the prison, the head of the prison was also familiar with Wu Song, and he was easy to talk to when he looked at it. Pan Jinlian thought that Wu Song lived here now, so she insisted on giving all the money she brought to the head of the prison, and asked him to take care of it all the time. Buy something to eat and drink.

The head of the prison couldn't get rid of his sympathy, so he had to take the money and lead a few people into the gloomy alley. There were wooden cages on both sides, and the inside was so dark that it was hard to see who was locked up.

"Wudoutou, someone is here to see you."

When Pan Jinlian looked up, he had already arrived. Wu Song's cell was cleaner than the ones in front, and there was still a small window, but his face was very unkind.

"Hello, uncle, what is going on here, one of them died and another was shut down in one day, what should I do?"

"It turned out to be you." Wu Song looked up at her, stood up with the shackles on his feet and walked to the wooden railing, "Brother's body has to be restrained, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, and I have to trouble my mother to help my house. Sister-in-law, otherwise she can't handle it as a woman. As for me, don't worry, the yamen is full of my acquaintances, and I won't suffer any disadvantages. It's just killing people in broad daylight, even if it's revenge, you can't go out as if nothing happened. You just have to wait, wait Going to the county magistrate for a few days and being promoted to the hall will naturally have my results."

"Of course I will do my best for your elder brother's affairs. It's just that you are in prison now, but you want me to find a way?"

Although Pan Jinlian was a little anxious, she also knew that no matter where the gate of the yamen opened to the south, there was a reason not to come in without money. Fortunately, there was some money at home, or someone could find a way to get him out.

Wu Song shook his head, with a serious expression on his face:

"You guys don't understand the things here, don't spend money for nothing, the family's savings are limited, it's not too late to deal with elder brother's funeral first, and then talk about other things. In addition, sister-in-law, you have to be careful every day, even though the Ximen family was killed by me , but there are still people at home, I'm afraid they will retaliate."

"I see, don't worry, I will let Mama Wang stay with me these few days, nothing will happen."

Seeing that he still cared a lot about her, Pan Jinlian nodded, seeing that there was nothing to say, and asked the prison chief to lead the two out.The two policemen seemed to have admiration for Wu Song on weekdays. They not only protected Pan Jinlian and Wang Po back home, but also helped them find the master in the yamen the next day, and gave some money to Wu Song The dead body was brought out, and several acquainted lawyers and government officials were called to find Mr. Yin and Yang, the coffin shop, the old clothes maker, and the head of the deacon. Pan Jinlian just paid the money and bought pine wood. A solid coffin, full of paper horses and tribute paper money, invited a few monks and priests to read the scriptures for a while, and then sent it to Wuhan University in a noisy manner.After the funeral is over, there are still a lot of chores to do, not to forget to invite a few yamen servants who have helped a lot to Wang Po's house, and borrow her tea house as a host, and don't care about cooking by yourself, just drunk The fairy building ordered wine, meat, and vegetables, and Wang Po invited a few people to have a big meal with her, and packed some money to send them out separately.

When she got home, Pan Jinlian was already suffering from severe back pain. Rubbing her waist, she locked the door, lowered the window on the second floor, and closed the account under the lamp. The next three times are zero, and I just heard from the officials in the yamen that Wu Song's case will be promoted soon. Many of them have not been dealt with. It's pretty tight.

When she was worrying, Pan Jinlian heard someone knocking on the door, she couldn't help being startled again, she hurriedly opened the window on the second floor and peeked through the crack, and then she let go.
