The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the house, she asked her daughter-in-law, "Did someone come from the Tian family just now? Who is it?"

Mrs. Liu has been staring at it, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, just go in with two girls, the older one is about ten years old, and the younger one is about three or four years old. Those guys sent things in and left. There are many cars and things, and they are not worth much, mother, you will know when you go and have a look."

Mrs. Liu really went.

Hanging around in front of Tian's house for a while.

He came back and said: "There are a lot of food, pots, pans, bowls and chopsticks. There are cats, dogs, and chicken coops... It looks like they are from the countryside."

Mrs. Liu said: "That family is well-dressed. Could it be that they swollen their faces to pretend to be fat?"

The three members of the Yan family came to pay a visit to Mrs. Tian, ​​and changed out of the sheepskin clothes on purpose. The clothes were a bit ostentatious, and they were wearing cotton clothes changed by Nanny Rong. Yes, soft and fluffy, you can tell at a glance that they are new clothes made this year.

Mrs. Liu didn't look like it, she touched the invitation card in her arms.

He glanced at his yard again, and said, "No matter what the origin of his family is, it would be wrong to smash us up. The scholar who wrote the petition said, we will definitely win."

With great difficulty, Liu Daqi boiled hot water on a broken brick pad in the yard. Mrs. Liu shared the steamed buns, and the whole family ate the pickles.

Yan Yu heard it right, it was steamed buns with coarse grains and mixed noodles.

...

Yan Laoer went out of one family and entered another family.

He came to the door with his things, and everyone was kind.

The etiquette is neither light nor heavy. Each family has four salted duck eggs and a large piece of frozen tofu.

Yan Lao Er was very polite, saying that his family had just moved here and that he would be taken care of by his neighbors in the future.

When people asked him what he did, he said that his main business was studying, and he was ashamed that he hadn't yet obtained the honor in the exam.

When asked where his family came from, he said that his hometown, Qishan Mansion, was hit by a drought, and he fled all the way to Huju.

He also inquired about his relationship with the Tian family, he looked sincere, and told the truth, he worshiped old man Tian as a master, and learned the craft... After a serious ceremony, it is okay to call the master, and there is nothing wrong with calling the father directly.

How plain it is when you go in, how enthusiastic you are when you come out.

"Auntie, look at you, I brought it all and you just keep it, if you make it yourself, I will be sad if you push me again, but you don't like the craftsmanship of our country people?" The joke on Yan Laoer's face came immediately .

"In the middle, the aunt will keep it, and we will live next to each other in the future, and often come to the aunt's house to sit and sit."

"It will be indispensable in the future. When my tofu stall is set up, my aunt will definitely support me."

"Hey, it goes without saying, who's not buying it? It's so convenient from my house to yours, and it saves my legs."

"Auntie, about renting a place in front of your house..."

"It doesn't matter whether you rent it or not, you can use it if you want it."

"That won't work. Our size is one size. If you don't charge money, I don't have the nerve to occupy the land of my aunt's house. I won't have the face to enter my aunt's house in the future."

"As you please, that aunt... just accept it?"

"That's great, how about just following the number I said?"

"become!"

"Then we're done?"

"It's settled."

"Okay, I'll take all the money with me, just wait for the sweet words from the aunt!"

"Oh, you young man, you can handle things neatly."

"Hey, let's make a decision one day earlier, our business will be opened soon!"

"That's the reason! Do it well. If my aunt's family eats tofu in the future, I will buy yours."

"Come on!"

...

Yan Yu rushed into the city before dark, and on the last trip back, she took Uncle Qi and Master Lu back. This time, she came in a cart, she rode a donkey, and Aunt Rong drove an ox cart.

There were few things to pull this trip, mainly living animals at home.

As soon as she entered the door, Yan Yu secretly gave Madam Rong an order to bind this small courtyard as her family's temporary residence.

Only in this way can Nanny Rong automatically recognize it, making it easier for her to handle it.

After seeing Mrs. Tian, ​​Nanny Rong started to work.

His eyes were full of life, running in and out of the kitchen, this end served Li Xuemei and Mrs. Tian with steaming fresh milk tea, and the other end had already put the chickens, ducks and sheep in their place, feeding them for the next night. Feed, and then go to the room opposite the main house, help the big girl, no, Qian Chu, wipe the inside and outside, clean out the kang holes in all the rooms, add new charcoal to go in and start burning.

The stove was not enough, so she lit the two charcoal cartridges she brought, one for haggis soup, and the other for baking dough cakes. The stove in the kitchen cleaned the ashes, and put the stew pot that was constantly burning at home on it.

After Madam Rong brought the bread into the room, after a while she brought in a basin of warm water to signal Li Xuemei and Mrs. Tian that they could wash their hands and eat.

Mrs. Tian agrees with Li Xuemei's words describing how capable this lady Rong is.

Although I can't speak, my thoughts are as thin as a hair.

Mrs. Tian took the opportunity to go out, saw Rong Nai working for a while, and pulled her aside.

"Xiao Er's mother is pregnant, thanks to you taking care of the family, don't worry too much, Mrs. Rong, this is my heart, and I will trouble you to pay more attention to this family in the future." Mrs. Tian handed it to Nanny Rong. A piece of broken silver.

Nanny Rong smiled kindly, and accepted the money generously, a blessing.

Mrs. Tian said to Li Xuemei when she entered the room: "The lady Rong that your family invited must have a very simple background. She is so capable...and she can write some words?"

Li Xuemei: "Yes, there are many mistakes, but I do know how to write a few."

Mrs. Tian thought for a while, and said: "I have heard people say before that servants from rich families were sent out, and they were given dumb drugs in case they would speak indiscriminately..."

"I don't know if she was born like this or... Eldest brother said something similar to you, no matter what her status was before, she is alone now..." Li Xuemei said again: "Miss Rong treats our family very well, she is very responsible, Our family really can't live without her, the elder brother also wants to keep her at home, we asked Miss Rong, and she is willing too."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Gou Zhu stood up and pulled the door open.

After Yan Laoer came in, he plugged in again.

"God, I'm exhausted." He still didn't dare to complain loudly, for fear that the neighbors would hear him again, so he hurried to the kitchen while whispering, "Miss Rong, is there any water?"

Nanny Rong poured him a big bowl.

Yan Lao Er finished drinking, wiped his mouth, stretched his head to look at each pot, and asked, "When is the meal?"

Nanny Rong gestured at him, it's now.

Yan Erle's teeth are all exposed.

Quickly find water to wash your face and hands.

When the whole family naturally climbed onto the Kang table with their legs crossed, Mrs. Tian's face seemed to be shining brightly, and her eyes were crooked and full of smiles.

The family has never been so lively.

The Yan family has no rules when it comes to eating.

Yan's second child didn't pretend either, there was nothing to pretend, since they would live under the same roof in the future, no one would know the other.

He eats and drinks and works in vain.

"Ahahahaha..." Yan Yu couldn't stop laughing.

"Father... you are so good at fooling around, you actually said that you learned crafts from the master, ah hahahaha... what kind of crafts did the master pass on to you... hiccup..." Yan Yu burst out laughing and began to hiccup. He covered his mouth and kept shaking.

Second Yan glared at her.

"Master, these are all words to fool them."

Mrs. Tian smiled and shook her head, expressing her indifference.

...

The door of Liu's house was just so open, so how could they not see Yan Lao Er carrying things from house to house.

As soon as Yan Laoer went back, Mrs. Liu took action.

How many years have they lived as neighbors? Besides, there is nothing to hide.

Mrs. Liu inquired, the family's surname is Yan, not relatives of Tian's family, but closer than relatives, old man Tian actually accepted apprentices, thinking that Yan Er will come to take over Old Man Tian's errand in the future.

She regretted so much in her heart, why didn't she think that the Yan family, who had fled from the famine, would seek camp.

At the same time, I felt a little unwilling, if it weren't for the Yan family, the things of the Tian family, and old man Tian's errands, all belonged to her family...

What kind of scholars are you talking about? They are tofu sellers in the countryside. What kind of garlic do you pretend to be!

The next morning, Mrs. Liu went out with Liu Daqi.

There are rules at the gate of the yamen. It is not that whoever says they want to sue can sue when they go.

You have to write the certificate first, and hand it in on the day when the master sits in court to release the lawsuit.

But in fact, the person who submitted the petition had to go to the Yamen to collect the number plate on the first day, and there was a special clerk to examine their petition, and if the petition was not well written, it would be sent back immediately, and those who were qualified would be kept, and they would be prioritized.

It is the lightest case to fight with neighbors like the Liu family.

According to each master's habit or before or after.

At present, the surname of Fang, who sits in the Yongning County Yamen, has been in office for seven years. He has not moved his place for seven years. He has already lost his temper and is not diligent in official affairs. People, Cheng Tong judge was watching very closely, Fangzhi County had to change the case to release the case every three days.

Guanzhou was feuded by the king of England, and the palace is in the city. The prince loves the people like a son, and the guards patrol day and night. There are very few criminals in Yongning, and it is actually a trivial matter all day long.

Mr. Fang likes to cut through messes quickly, and he puts difficult cases first, and puts simple ones behind.

The clerks in the yamen know the habits of the elders best, and they will know where to put it when they scan the complaint form with their eyes.

Regardless of the fact that the Liu family is headed by Mrs. Liu, Liu Daqi has to come forward for lawsuits.

He carefully put the certificate on the table, and then he didn't know what to do in a daze.

While reading the complaint, the little official randomly tapped twice on the table with his finger.

Seeing that there was no response from the person who handed over the certificate, the petty official raised his head, his brows were tightly knit, and he scolded, "Do you understand the rules?"

Liu Daqi was startled, and quickly took out the two coins he had prepared, and put them on the table respectfully.

The little official wiped it with his sleeve, and the silver disappeared.

With drooping eyelids, he said, "Wait."

Liu Daqi quickly backed away.

Mrs. Liu came up to meet her and asked, "Son, how are you doing?"

Liu Daqi wiped his sweat and said, "Just wait."

In order to find out more about the doorway here, Mrs. Liu even gave the scholar who wrote the petition an extra penny.

"Mother, this lawsuit is too expensive." Liu Daqi was so distressed that he asked for money when he wrote the petition, and asked for money when he handed it over.

"We will definitely win, and we can get all of these back." Mrs. Liu said confidently.

After the petty official received the certificates, he began to call out his name and issue a number plate.

Mrs. Liu got the number plate, looked it over and over, and said happily: "That's enough, this is enough, son, let's go, go back, and go to that Mrs. Tian!"

...

Mrs. Liu didn't go directly to Tian's house, but first made a big noise in the alley, and after a while, people around here spread the word, Liu's family wanted to sue Tian's family, then Liu's family sued Tian's family! Even got the wooden sign of the yamen!

"Hey, Mrs. Liu is really capable. Sue as soon as you say, tsk tsk..."

"The Tian family is in trouble this time. When you walk to the gate of the yamen, you must not shed your skin."

"The Liu family is too ruthless. She's still a child. It's wrong to break something in her house. It's just a matter of paying some money. Why don't you sue her?"

Mrs. Liu stood at the door of her house, with her hips crossed and her neck stretched, and she shouted in the direction of Tian's house: "Why can't I sue, why can't I, my family has a grievance, and I don't want to ask the old man to judge it. Take a look at our house." Isn’t the Tian family stubborn? If you don’t pay money or pay a gift, let us go to sue. Listen to the lady, let’s sue. We will go to court tomorrow. If the old man Tian doesn’t come back, your man will have to go. Didn't you recognize the master, like your own son, then you have to carry this lawsuit if you don't want to! What about that sharp-mouthed kid, come again..."

Second Yan came out, still holding the sheep.

Walking up to Mrs. Liu, I asked her, "Arrears tomorrow? Did you get the number plate?"

Mrs. Liu proudly took out the wooden sign. Yan Er Er wanted to read the words on it, but Mrs. Liu held her neck tightly and refused to read it.

Yan Lao Er had no choice but to ask again: "What number are we in line for?"

Mrs. Liu froze. The scholar who wrote the petition said that the number plates were in order. After recalling them carefully, the servants called out their names to the wooden plates one by one, but they didn't say which number they were in.

And the words on it...she didn't understand.

Yan Laoer saw the crux at a glance, and said very kindly: "It's okay if you are at the front, and it will be your turn later, if you are at the back, we have to stand outside for a long time, it's so cold... ...In this way, you let me see the number written on it, we have an idea in mind, we can go there on time, and we won't suffer."

Mrs. Liu stared at him for a while, and asked, "Aren't you afraid? If you make a deal with our family now, then pay some more money to let our family live in peace, and it's not impossible to discuss with our neighbors."

She made sure that she would have to pay a lot of money to go to court tomorrow, such as money to buy paper and ink, and the yamen servant with a stick would have to pay whether he beat the board or not. First, the yamen servants who brought them in can't run errands for nothing. After the lawsuit is over, they have to imprint their fingerprints. The imprints are not in vain. They have to be paid...

Mrs. Liu thought clearly, what the lawsuit was for, for money, if the Tian family was willing to give the money, then it would be private, and she would ask Daqi to give the case back, although it would still cost money, but it would be less than going to court.

If you don't go to court after receiving the wooden card, you have to pull it out to beat the board. Five boards and four coins, three coins are given to the yamen servants who play the boards, so that they can be lighter, and one money is given to the person who takes the board. To make a living, her family's Daqi is still healthy, and there is no need for replacements, only three qian silver is enough.

In ancient times, the elders and the head of the village first mediated the lawsuit, and then the magistrate's yamen, the magistrate's yamen, appealed to each other, and could not leapfrog the lawsuit~

The text is simplified, and there are also the procedures for releasing the report, and the settings of the Yamen are all private settings of the house, so don’t be serious~

The actual cost of litigation is more than this, so we won't write them one by one.

The update time of the next chapter was wrongly estimated, I got up late at home, I will watch it in the afternoon (〃'▽'〃)
