Chapter 66 Stupid Brother and Fierce Sister
After Jin Sui finished speaking to Yan Shier Niang, he looked at Li Heng and said solemnly:
"If Lord Li doesn't come to see me today, I will also go to find you.
You are helping the Zheng family to get a concubine, so my chief clerk will sue the Zheng family for your wife!"
"Cheng Yu, talk to Lord Li yourself."
Cheng Yu, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and saluted Li Heng neither servilely nor arrogantly. Then he took out the marriage certificate and token and presented them, saying:
"Chen Yunniang is my Cheng Yu's fiancée, but she was forcibly taken as a concubine by the Zheng family. Please, Lord Li, make the decision for me."
Li Zhoumu felt that this matter was too unbelievable. How could such a coincidence exist in the world? After he finished reading the marriage certificate and listened to Cheng Yu's story about Chen Yunniang's past, he suddenly looked embarrassed.
Why do I feel like I didn't solve the problem this time, but instead took on an even more troublesome thing?
At this time, several people heard soft crying.
Turning his head, he saw Yan Twelve Niang crying like rain, sobbing and saying to Cheng Yu:
"sorry!"
He covered his face and ran out.
Jinsui smiled. When the soldiers in the barracks heard about the past of Cheng Yu and Chen Yunniang, many of them cried.
Yan Shier Niang is a young girl in her prime, and is at the age where she is moved by the Liang Zhu love story.
Such a touching love story happened right next to her, of course she was moved to tears.
Looking at Li Heng, he is a hard-hearted man. Not only was he not moved, he was also worrying about how to solve this troublesome matter.
Jin Sui stared at Li Heng and asked, "Now, Lord Li, do you want a concubine for the Zheng family, or do you want a contract to sell your beloved wife for Cheng Zhubo?"
Li Heng looked embarrassed: "How about Your Majesty, please go with me to the Zheng family and explain it to me face to face."
Jin Sui snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I go to the Zheng family, I'll be a piece of fish on the chopping board!"
Jin Sui and Cheng Yu were trying to persuade Li Heng to help. Yan Shier Niang, who had just run out, looked up and saw her second brother eating a bowl of fish balls.
Yan Shiyilang was eating with a smile on his face, when he saw his sister running out crying.
He quickly put down the bowl and asked, "What's wrong? Did Jun Yanqing bully you?"
Yan Twelve Niang shook her head and asked with guilt: "Second brother, am I a bad person?"
Yan Shiyilang was shocked: "Who said that? My sister is the best girl in the world, who said you are bad?"
Han Xing happened to pass by, and he pointed at Han Xing and said, "Is it this kid? Didn't we whip him a few times? He's so petty."
Han Xing: ...
He turned away silently, ignoring the stupid brother and fierce sister.
But Yan Twelve Niang did not let him go. She quickly stepped in front of him and said a little embarrassedly: "Do you know about the matter between Cheng Zhubo and Chen? Can you tell me in detail?"
Yan Shiyilang suddenly became interested, and like a gossipy woman in the village, he asked anxiously:
"Are they old acquaintances? I was wondering why the King of Li would come to the Zheng family to steal a concubine!"
Han Xing resisted the urge to run away. In order to get more help for Cheng Zhubo and Chen Yunniang, he tried his best to make their love story more touching.
As expected of someone who had been baptized by Cheng Zhubo's drunken singing for many years, the song begins with the mountain ghost and ends with Madam Xiang.
A pair of childhood sweethearts were forced to separate, and Cheng Zhubo gave up his position as an official in Beijing and the bright future that his family had prepared for him.
He only wishes to be a poor official at the border, just to be closer to the woman he loves.
Chen Yunniang was transformed from a young lady of a wealthy family into a slave and concubine, and faced the tragic situations of starving to death and being beaten to death countless times.
She also did not sell the token of their love. In order not to implicate Cheng Zhubo, she would rather die than come out of the tomb...
Then Han Xing saw that Yan Shiyi was standing behind Twelve Niang, crying even louder than Yan Twelve Niang.
"Wow, wow, the Zheng family is such a piece of shit! They are so pitiful."
"I am also a bad guy. I actually stopped the King from saving people."
Yan Twelve Niang also cried,
"I am even worse. I even said that Chen Yunniang is a lowly servant and is not worthy of the prince's protection."
Han Xing: ...
Can I go now? It's so embarrassing. I really don't want to play with a fool.
As a result, Yan Shierniang grabbed his sleeve and said, "Can you take me to see Chen Yunniang? I want to apologize to her in person."
Han Xing pulled away his sleeves and shook his head:
"No, the prince said that Chen cannot show up until the Zheng family's matter is resolved."
He raised his chin slightly, motioning Yan Twelve Niang to look at the troops brought by Li Zhoumu: "If our prince did not care, Cheng Zhubo and Chen would have been taken away by Lord Li long ago, and would have died at the hands of the Zheng family."
Yan Shier Niang thought back to what King Li had just said, and suddenly she felt proud. Life is difficult for women, and they really shouldn't make things difficult for each other. Instead, they should support and help each other!
She wiped away her tears and said, "Not only do they have the help of your prince, but they also have me! I will take care of this matter."
"I will make sure that their lovers finally get married!"
Applause sounded behind her. Yan Twelve Niang turned around and saw the King of Li clapping his hands with a smile:
"Good! I was right about Miss Yan."
Yan Shier Niang blushed instantly, and her heroic spirit turned into shyness.
When Jinsui asked Cheng Yu to bring Chen Yunniang over, Chen Yunniang told them her life story in detail in front of everyone.
Li Zhoumu wanted to persuade them again, so several people followed him to Zheng's house to talk things out in person.
But Yan Twelve Niang glared at him angrily:
"They are like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth when they go to the Zheng family! Why did the prince go to the Zheng family to explain? Didn't you bring the Zheng family here?"
Mu Li was speechless. If I bring the Zheng family here, can I bring them back alive?
He reacted quickly. It seemed that this matter was extremely troublesome and both sides were difficult to deal with. He simply ignored it and let them argue as they pleased.
Just as he was about to bow and say goodbye, the King of Li, who had seen through his thoughts, stopped him: "Lord Li, Cheng Zhubo and you are both under the command of the court, you can't just ignore his affairs!"
Cheng Yu reacted quickly and said, "If you don't care, I can only go to Chang'an to file a complaint with the emperor."
Li Zhoumu was furious and regretted again why he got involved in this mess.
You're still complaining to the emperor. Will the emperor care about such a trivial matter? You, an eighth-rank official, can't even see the emperor.
It's just a threat to me. If I ignore it, the matter will become a big deal and affect my performance, and I won't be able to be transferred out of Yan next year.
Thinking that he would have to stay in Yan with the King of Li for another three years, Lizhou Mu felt overwhelmed and said immediately:
"I will! Of course I won't sit idly by and do nothing! But the head of the Zheng family is still ill. I will go to the Zheng family to mediate after he recovers."
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Then I will wait for good news from you! By the way, the head of the Zheng family is sick and has no cure, but he can come to me for help. I will give him a good medicine."
Li Zhoumu smiled but did not smile, and left with a lot of anger in his heart.
Well, not only did he fail to get Chen Yunniang back, but he also took on a stupid job.
I will never come to this broken border town again!
As a result, when I passed by the Lidawuxian restaurant, the Dongpo pork was just being cooked. I was amazed by the aroma and the color of the meat.
Including Li Zhoumu, a group of more than a dozen people were all swallowing their saliva violently.
Yan Shiyi waved, "Have a meal before you go! Try the Dongpo pork and fish balls from Border Town. They're sure to be so delicious that you'll be intoxicated."
Li Zhoumu gritted his teeth and thought, since it was the last time he came, he might as well have a meal before leaving.
