Chapter 53 The fifty-second chapter thanks to Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Fang's letter of gratitude and promise of marriage

Let's say that Jiang Pingping came to Ping County, and the county magistrate immediately interrogated Wu Ping'an.Wu Ping'an said that his sister hanged herself to death after releasing the third son for private reasons.It was a pity for everyone to hear this. Suddenly he heard that his nephew Deng Jiuru had also died, and he was even more surprised.The county magistrate asked, "How old is Deng Jiuru?"Wu Ping'an said: "I'm only seven years old this year."The county magistrate said: How did he die at such a young age?Wu Ping'an said: "It's just because after burying his mother, he struggled to ask the villain for his mother."The villain kicked him for a moment, and he died in the valley.Zhao Hu was so angry when he heard this, he stood up and kicked Wu Ping'an as hard as he could a few times, causing him to roll all over the ground.It was Jiang and Zhang who persuaded him.After asking Liu Zhi and Liu Xie again, they also admitted that because of poverty, they helped Wu Ping'an to rob every night to survive.All the confessions are true, and they will all be sent to prison.The county magistrate discussed with Jiang Pingping again, but it was important to check the whereabouts of the third son as soon as possible.

Where do you think these three young masters escaped to?But he ran to a family. It was Fang Shan, a poor Confucian.There are not many houses in the family, but there are only three upper rooms, which are lived by Mr. Fang and his daughter, Miss Yuzhi.There are three wing rooms outside as study rooms.Then Bao Shirong voted into his house and lived in this house.It's just because he was a young scholar, spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, how can he endure such hardship and be so frightened, he suddenly fell ill.Thanks to Mr. Fang's careful conditioning, Fang felt better. One day, Fang Shan went to the street to spray medicine for his son. On the way, he picked up a gold bracelet, looked at it, and took it to a silver shop to see its fineness. Song Sheng just saw that he was blackmailing the Wo family, and turned it to the county to file a lawsuit. .That is, someone sent a letter.Miss Yuzhi burst into tears when she heard that her father had been sued, and she had no idea.There is no one else in the family, but fortunately there is an old neighbor, a woman surnamed Ning, who is upright and forthright, loves to talk and laugh, and everyone calls her Mother Ning.When the mother heard about this, she was a little upset and hurried to Fang's house.

Seeing that Yuzhi was crying like a human being, Mother Ning couldn't bear it.As soon as Yuzhi saw that she was like a relative, she begged her to come and watch her in prison.The mother agreed and went to Ping County. Unexpectedly, those yamen servants were all familiar with him, when they saw each other, they laughed mischievously at each other, wailed and vomited, and led her to the prison to have a look.After seeing Mr. Fang, he said some sentimental words to everyone and asked the government how the trial went.Mr. Fang said: "Since I arrived, I was just about to go to court. I didn't think about why Bao Xiangye's nephew was involved, so I haven't tried it."At this time, the county magistrate was embarrassed by this matter and had no time to do so.Fang Shan asked his daughter Yuzhi again, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ning's mother: I have something to ask.It's just because there is a Mr. Rong living in the outer wing of my house, whose name is Shibao.I saw that he was extraordinary in appearance, outstanding in conduct, and also a scholar, worthy of my daughter's spouse.I beg my mother to make it happen.

Ning Po said: "Sir, why are you so busy at this moment when you encounter this matter?"Fang Shan said: "Mom doesn't know."There are no extra houses in my family, and there are no servants and maids. If I blame my daughter and husband, I will be suspected of melon fields and plums.If Mo Ruo has settled this matter, he and I have the friendship of husband and wife, and Yuzhi and him have the distinction of husband and wife, and he can also take care of my family, so no one else can talk about it.I have made up my mind, I just ask my mother to read this letter letter with my husband.If he refuses, I will explain my painstaking efforts to him, and he has no reason to refuse.It's all thanks to my mother.Mother Ning said: Sir, just rest assured.Forgive me for saying this, and I must respond to this matter.Fang Shan asked her family to take care of her again, and Granny Ning agreed one by one and came back in a hurry.I met Yuzhi first, told him that my husband was fine in prison, and then quietly told him about the intention of marriage: here is the letter, saying that it is good for Mr. Rong to ask questions, and it should be a marriage of thousands of miles.The Yuzhi group was silent when they saw their father's order.

The mother-in-law asked: Is Mr. Rong in the study?Yuzhi replied helplessly: Now in the study.It is good because of the disease, and it has not yet recovered.Mom said: Let me have a look. When he came to the door of the wing room, he deliberately asked loudly, "Is Mr. Rong in the room?"Just listen to the answer inside: Xiaosheng is here.I don't know who is outside?Please come in and sit down.My mother came to the house to have a look, and saw that my husband was lying on his pillow. Although he was sick, he was really handsome and said: "My surname is Ning, and I am Mr. Fang's close neighbor."Because Ms. Yuzhi begged her to visit her father in prison, Mr. Fang asked me to bring a note for my husband to see.After finishing speaking, he took it out of his sleeve and handed it over.The third young master took it apart and looked at it and said, "How can this be done?"I have received Fang Engong's great kindness, but I haven't repaid him yet. How can I drive him into trouble, but still order his daughter?This thing is impossible.Besides, there is no order from my parents, so how dare I do it.Ning Po said: "Sanggong's words are wrong."This matter was originally not from Mr. Fang's original intention, but it was from Mr. Fang's intention.Furthermore, because there is no one in his family, it is inconvenient for men and women, and he is suspected of being melons and plums, so he asks his old body to show his respects.Since Xianggong said that he has received his great favor, why not agree to this matter, and then discuss how to save Mr. Fang.The third son thought: Mr. Fang's kindness is rare, and his reputation is at stake, so he agreed.Seeing the third young master pondering, Granny Ning knew that he was somewhat agreeable, and said, "Your Majesty, don't hesitate.Miss Yuzhi, Mr. Liang, has never seen her before. She is really dignified and beautiful. .If the husband agrees, it will be a perfect match.The third son said: "Thank you for your mother's hard work, and Xiaosheng will just accept it."Ning Po said: "Since Mr. Xiang agreed, the size of the appointment is a little fixed, so I can reply to the husband tomorrow."The third son said: "I have all the betrothal gifts, but I ran away when I was killed, and I never took them with me."Where is this?Granny Ning said: "Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed."As long as the husband makes up his mind, he can't break his promise.The third son said: "The husband's words are like white dyed soap."What's more, I have received the great kindness of Master Fang.

Ning Po said: "Xianggong is really right.As the saying goes, if you know your kindness and don't repay your kindness, you will be in vain for the people of the world.Besides, the son-in-law is in love with his son-in-law, so what can he do to save Mr. Fang?The third son said: It is extremely easy to save Mr. Fang.It's just that I have just recovered from a minor illness and cannot go to the county.If I wanted to send a letter, I was afraid that no one would dare to hand it over.There is a dilemma.Ning's mother said: "If my husband is willing to send a letter, how about waiting for the old man to send it to you?"I am afraid that your letter will be useless.The third son said: Mom, just rest assured.If you dare to deliver this letter, when you arrive in the county, ask him to open the middle door to see the county magistrate for delivery.If he does not open the middle door, the county magistrate will not be seen, and this letter must not be left in the hands of others.Mom, do you dare to go?Mother Ning said: What's the matter?As long as Xianggong's letter responds, what am I afraid of?When I get the pen and inkstone, my husband will start writing.As he spoke, he took a pen and inkstone from the table over there, and took an envelope of paper from the bookcase, and handed it to the third young master.The third young master held the brush in his hand, but felt his hands tremble, and couldn't write any more.

Ning's mother said: Do you drink cold wine every day at the Xianggong's house?The third son said: "Mom doesn't know something."I have been ill for two days, I have not had any water or rice, and my heart is empty, how can I hold a pen?I have to have some food and drink before I can write; otherwise I really can't write.Ning Po said: "Since that's the case, how about I make a bowl of soup and write it down after drinking it?"The young master said: "Thank you, Mom." Granny Ning left the study, came to Miss Yuzhi's room, and spoke one by one.It's just that the son's hands tremble and he can't write, so he has to drink some soup to write.After hearing this, Yuzhi thought to herself: "If you want to open the middle gate to see the government and receive the letter with your own hands, there must be a source."Busy to discuss with Ning Ma.There is no meaty smell, so I have to make a bowl of plain noodle soup with some sesame oil on it.Ning Ma brought it to the study and said to the young master, "Here comes the soup."The young master struggled and felt the fragrance was tangy, so he quickly drank a couple of sips and said, "Very good!"When the soup was finished, there was sweat on the temples and forehead, and I was refreshed immediately, took a short rest, and finished with a stroke of the pen.Ning's mother saw that the third son wrote the letter without thinking, and was extremely fast, and said happily: "Msanggong finished writing and read it to me."The third son said: "I can't read it."I'm afraid that someone will eavesdrop on it, and it's okay to leak the wind.

Mother Ning is a shrewd and experienced person, a man who doesn't wear a headscarf, she is afraid that there will be mistakes in the book, and she will suffer immediate losses when she arrives in the county.She accosted her with a sleeve of the letter, quietly took it to Yuzhi's room, and asked the young lady to read it.When the lady saw it, she couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, convinced that her father's eyesight was not bad.Then he said that it was not Mr. Rong but Mr. Bao, and that he reversed his name to hide it from the eyes and ears, so as not to be framed.Now in his book, it is written that he will go to Beijing according to the order of the Prime Minister, and he does not want to go to the pine forest, encounter a murder, and almost be killed.Mom just goes to deliver it, it's okay.In this book, the county magistrate's sedan chair is required to pick him up.

After hearing this, the mother-in-law was so happy that she couldn't clap her hands together, she hurried to the study, saw the third son first, and pleaded guilty: "The mother-in-law really doesn't know that you are a noble son, so I have a contemptuous look, and I beg you to forgive me."The third son said: Mom whispered, don't say anything.Ning Po said: Don't worry, my lord.There is no outsider in this yard, and no one heard it anymore?I beg the young master to seal the letter properly and wait for the mother-in-law to deliver it.The third son wrote a letter here, and Ning's mother went out.It wasn't long before I saw her neatly dressed, although she didn't have silk or satin, she was clean and simple.The third son handed the letter to her.As if by imperial decree, she opened the shirt and put it in the waist near her chest.Before leaving, I wished the young master another blessing, and came to Ping County just after I went out.

As soon as he entered the yamen, he saw a person coming out of the classroom, seeing Po Ning and saying: "Ah!Lao Ning, why are you here?Don't you want to find another master?Ning Po said: Don't talk nonsense.I ask whose class are you in today?The man said: "This is Mr. Wei."While talking, he shouted: Mr. Wei, someone is looking for you!This is an acquaintance.See Mr. Wei come out early.Ning Po said: "So it's the old uncle's class? It's hard work."There is nothing to say, good brothers and sisters work hard for you.Head Wei said: What's the matter again?Yesterday, I entered the prison to visit Lao Fang, and promised us a drink, but I haven't had a drink yet.How come today?Ning Po said: "The size of the hole has to be sewn, and things have to be done."My sister is here today to write a letter for this purpose.But you have to meet your government face to face.After hearing this, Wei Tou'er said, "Ah!You are getting more and more troublesome.Deliver letters or orders in the yamen.Our government is also easy for you to see?Don't make trouble for me, it's nothing like yesterday's affair.Ning Po said: "Silly brother, what does sister do?"I'll see it when I see it. Anyway, I can't let you get hot.Wei Tou'er said: You just say that, I'm always a little worried.If something goes wrong, it's not for fun.A person next to him said: "Old Wei, you are very timid."Since she said so, she should be able to figure out what she is good at.You just go back.Lao Ning is not an outsider, so he will have to drink with you when he comes back.Ning Po said: "Yes, my sister invites you two."

While talking, Mr. Wei had already reported back, and came out and said: "Let's go, the government is calling you." Ning Po said: Uncle, you still have to work hard.When I handed this letter to me, I was asked to tell the Yamen not to open the middle door and not to deliver it.After hearing this, Old Wei shook his head and said, "You are messing around!"I want to open the middle door for your letter, aren't you disturbing?Ning's mother said: If you don't drive, I will go back.After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Head Wei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't run away and scare me."Now it's clear, if you leave the government, don't you blame me.What kind of errand is this?You are really like this, I can't help it!Seeing that he was in a hurry, Granny Ning couldn't help laughing and said: Good brother, don't worry.You just go back and say what I said, this matter is important, it is not an ordinary letter, you must open the middle door before you are willing to deliver it.Not only is it not a coincidence that the Custodian and Baoguan saw this book, but our sisters are also a little bit lucky.Shuli Sun listened to Granny Ning's words for a reason, and knowing that she had always been a human being, and if she stopped doing ridiculous things, she knew that the letter must have a history, so she had to follow her, and said, "Weitouer, report back to her again." , just say she said so.Head Wei had no choice but to go back into the hall again. At this time, Jiang, Zhang, Zhao and Bao Wang are discussing ideas with the county magistrate.Suddenly, I heard the officer report that there was a woman who submitted a letter, and the county magistrate was exempt from seeing it.It was still Master Jiang who changed his mind, even if it was the third son's secret letter, he said beside him: "It doesn't matter if we let her meet." After going for a while, the officer reported back and said, "The woman wants to open the middle door before I can send this letter."She said it was important.When the county magistrate heard this, he didn't feel hesitant. He thought it must be related, and ordered: "Just open the middle door with her to see what kind of letter she wrote."The guard opened the middle door in response, came out and said to Po Ning: "It's all because you can't figure it out, I almost missed it."let's go!Granny Ning didn't rush, she stepped on her flower shoes of a foot and a half, stepped through the middle door, went straight to the lobby, held the letter high in her hand, and came to the front of the hall.Seeing that the mother-in-law had no fear, the county magistrate held the letter in his hand.The county magistrate ordered the servants to pick up the book.Just as the messenger was about to come forward, the mother-in-law said: "This book must be received by the grandfather personally, and it contains secret matters."The visitor understands what he ordered.When the county magistrate heard about the history of the matter, he didn't ask who it was, so he stood up, stepped out of the public seat, and took the book.The mother-in-law stepped aside.After dismantling and reading, I am both horrified and joyful. Jiang Ping had already peeped and understood, so he went forward and said: Gui County should send a sedan chair there.The county magistrate said, "That's right."At this time, Bao Wang knew the whereabouts of the young master, so he wanted to follow him.Zhao Hu also wanted to follow, but Master Jiang stopped him and said, "You and I are ordered by each other, and each has a special department. It's better than Bao Wang. He should go."We'll just wait here.Zhao Hu said: "The fourth brother is right, let's just wait here."The guard Wei Boss was relieved when he heard it clearly. I saw Mrs. Ning saying: "My mother-in-law reported to the master, since she asked her to lead the way, how can their bearers keep up with their legs?"Instead of carrying the empty sedan chair, Mrs. Mo Ruo sat on it, led the way without delay, and asked Mr. Bao to have a look, knowing that it was the old man's intention of respecting him. Seeing that she was an upright and stable wife, the county magistrate ordered: "In that case, you will go with the sedan chair."I don't know how, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
