Chapter 187: Take this woman away
Qu Liniang put on a good show. The crowd watching the show pushed and stepped on each other, and started fighting over a disagreement, making the scene a complete chaos.
"Zhu Zi, do you like this woman?" Dong Quan's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone. After a while, everyone stopped, pricked up their ears and kept silent, watching how the situation developed.
Perhaps there were not many entertainment activities in ancient times, but whenever there was the slightest gossip about men and women, you would call me and I would call others, and many people would come to watch.
"I like her," Pu Zhuzi nodded. He had liked Xiu'er since she was a child, but he didn't have a big house to marry her, so her father married her to someone else.
"Then name your price," Dong Quan said to the dwarf, since Zhuzi likes it, he will help this pair of wild lovebirds get together today.
"Well," the dwarf stared at the clothes on Dong Quan, which were not made of particularly expensive fabrics, and suspected that he was just here to amuse himself, "How much money do you have?"
"One hundred taels of silver," Dong Quan took out two fifty-tael silver notes from his pocket and handed them to him, "Baohe Money House, valid everywhere!"
"Humph, you want to buy my wife for one hundred taels of silver," the dwarf took the banknote and stuffed it into his arms, "Dream on, haha..."
Dong Quan quickly pulled out a knife and chopped off half of his hair, then put the knife to his neck, scaring him so much that his laughter stopped abruptly, "Good man, good man, spare my life!"
"Sign it for me." Dong Quan took out the indenture that had been written long ago from his bosom with his left hand and asked him to put his fingerprint on it. He took the money and didn't want to admit his character. She was also afraid that he would write a fake name on it.
"Oh, okay... okay." Ji Lang took out the red ink box, opened it and handed it to the dwarf. The dwarf quickly put his thumb into the ink, dipped it in the ink and pressed it on the indenture.
"Get out!" Seeing that the dwarf was still unwilling to move, Dong Quan waved the knife again and cut the hair hanging from his forehead, which immediately scared him so much that he ran out of the inn in a hurry.
"Zhu Zi, take this woman away from me." Dong Quan pulled him aside and gave him a fifty-liang silver note and some change. "You must live well and leave now."
The master's horses cannot be given to him. They are all excellent horses and are priceless. He will not be able to keep them even if he is given them.
"Ji Lang, Dong Quan, you two should see these two off." Yang Biao actually didn't like this girl named Xiu'er. He felt that this woman was just like what Uncle Yu said: This woman doesn't look like a good person.
Yang Biao looked at Dong Quan. He probably had used all his savings over the past few years to deal with Pu Zhuzi's matter, just because this man looked like his younger brother who had died early.
"Yes, master!" The two men each rode a horse. Yang Biao gave an ordinary horse left by the bandits to Pu Zhuzi and the other man. He was just a hunter they met by chance, and the key point was that he didn't like the woman, so how could he give them a thousand-mile horse to ride.
"Husband," Xia Weiwei put down her needlework as soon as Yang Biao entered the room and pulled him to sit down, "Is this scene good?"
“Well, that woman is not a good person, and Pu Zhuzi might not be either…” Yang Biao shook his head. The adulterous couple, every step seemed so natural, they were simply a match made in heaven.
Regarding Dong Quan's self-assertion and standing up for Pu Zhuzi, Yang Biao always reminds himself that he is a person with high emotional intelligence who can control his emotions and face various challenges in life with a calm attitude.
"Madam, let's go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow." In order to take care of Xia Weiwei's health for so many days, the speed of the carriage has almost been the same as walking.
"Master!" Ji Lang and Dong Quan rushed back when it was almost dark the next day.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Biao helped Xia Weiwei out of the car without asking where they had sent the two wild mandarin ducks.
"Master," Dong Quan, who had been waiting at the door, hurried forward when he saw Yang Biao coming out of the room.
"Well, go to bed early." Seeing that his eyes were blue, it was a condition that occurred due to not getting enough rest for a long time.
"I sent them to the countryside, where there are mountains." Yang Biao had not asked him anything, which made Dong Quan nervous. He knew that as a servant, he had crossed the line.
Just because Pu Zhuzi looked like his younger brother, he asked his master to take in a person of unknown origin, which was wrong; Pu Zhuzi and that woman had an affair, and he stood up for them in front of his master, which was also a big mistake.
Yang Biao nodded, "Pu Zhuzi knows how to hunt, so there shouldn't be any shortage of food."
"Go to bed early!" Yang Biao repeated, "We have to travel early tomorrow morning."

"Wow, my brother passed the imperial examination!" Yang Lin jumped up happily. The official who brought the good news had already received the reward and left, but the excited little Zhang was still holding her chest and gasping for breath.
"Hmph! Mother, you don't have to envy Yang Biao. If he fails the exam, he will be demoted to a scholar in three years." He may not be able to keep the status of a juren. Yang Zi'an gritted his teeth to comfort Wang.
"Ah, can the rank of a juren be downgraded?" Wang was very excited when she heard her son say that Yang Biao would no longer be a juren in three years.
"Oh my, my, now he's going to be demoted. It's better not to take the exam, haha..." Wang hurried to the big tree at the entrance of the village. She had to tell those illiterate and uninformed women, young and old, that Yang Biao would not be a juren in three years.
"Even if Biao is not a juren, he is still a scholar, no better than all of you here." The headman's wife got angry when she saw Wang talking about Yang Biao. She gave birth to an old useless child that no one wanted, and yet she had the nerve to gossip about other people.
"Aunt, I didn't say anything about your Yuqi. He took the provincial examination twice, right? Yang Biao is much younger than him, and he passed the examination and became a juren this time. Although he won't be a juren three years later, he was also a juren once, right?" Yang Yuqi failed the provincial examination twice. Wang had finally found the sore spot of the village head's family.
"Yes, at least our Yuqi is a scholar and can be exempted from the two-year labor service. In a few days, the government will conscript men for labor service. I wonder if anyone has the money to pay for it this time?" The headman's wife would not be angry about this. Her grandson was fine. He only took two provincial examinations. Some people have become grandfathers and are still taking exams.
"I heard that the men who visit brothels will have their genitals rotten and won't be able to pee." Yang Bowen, who was passing by, saw that Wang had dared to scheme against his cousin in the provincial examinations twice, and he didn't give her any face at all.
"Yes, I've heard about it too. I'm reminding you not to get close to those sluts who visit brothels. Not only are their private parts rotten, their bodies also stink, and that's contagious." Yang Bajin sat on the donkey cart and looked at Wang.
