Chapter 195: Being jealous of a monkey
Qingshu said: "Those are gangsters from the county town. They watched him earn some money by playing monkey tricks, and he was a foreigner alone, so they blocked him in an alley and tried to steal the money."
Lu Jin looked at his miserable appearance and asked, "Do you have a place to live?"
The monkey charmer recognized Lu Jin as the one who gave him broken coins and shook his head, "Young man and monkey have been traveling around for many years. When I first came to Guibao Land, I spent all my money. I just made a few bucks tonight.
There’s still time to find an inn.”
Lu Jin said to several officials: "Lock up those gangsters first, and place him and Monkey in the county government office. We will interrogate those people tomorrow and then place them there."
Several officials were ordered to leave, and Lu Jin said again: "Get some clothes for him, and some clothes for the monkey. It's a cold day, so don't get frozen."
The monkey charmer hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Jin, "Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir."
He also asked the fat monkey to kowtow to Lu Jin. Lu Jin liked the little monkey, so he stretched out his hand and touched the top of the monkey's head: Yes! It's quite easy to touch.
After the monkey man and the monkey were taken away, Lu Jin was still a little reluctant to leave. On the way to send the siblings back, she would mention the fat monkey from time to time, which showed that she really liked the fat monkey.
Lin Xiaoman said: "If you like, just leave Ren Ren and Monkey. Seeing as he seems to be homeless, he should also want to settle down."
Lu Jin looked very moved when he heard this, but still said: "Let me check his household registration later. If he is not on the criminal record, that's okay."
While talking, I arrived at the fourth grandma's house and watched Lin Xiaoman enter the hospital. I felt reluctant to give up: Alas, it will take half a year to marry someone, which is too long.
The fourth grandma left food for her. Lin Xiaoman had already eaten a lot on the street, but he only ate a few mouthfuls. Lin Erhu looked at it and went back to the house to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Lin Xiaoman always felt that he had overlooked something before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After falling asleep, a piece of grassland appeared in my dream, with the wind blowing, and there were wind-swept grass and low cows and sheep.
Lin Xiaoman woke up with an excitement. She finally thought about what she had overlooked. There was no need to buy cattle and sheep outside the Great Wall. Didn't Xu Yuanru have space?
Ever since she learned that Xu Yuanru has space, she has written a lot of space novels. I can’t say that the settings in the novels can be matched, but they look very similar.
She can plant plants in her space, and probably breed them as well, allowing her to raise a large number of cattle. Cattle raised in her space will not only grow faster, but they will definitely also become fatter and stronger. They are much better for plowing than the cattle bought outside the Great Wall.
?
Lin Xiaoman laughed three times happily. Xu Yuanru happened to be idle. Since she wanted Lu Jin to protect her, she couldn't keep her idle for nothing, right?
In addition to raising cattle, let's see what else she can offer. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, so I don't take advantage of her.
Lin Erhu hired a carriage and returned to Hedong Village early in the morning. Xu Qiuliang gave them all a day off on the Lantern Festival yesterday. They would come back to class after the festival. Who dares to delay class without any reason? Xu Qiuliang knows how to use it.
The ruler hits the palm.
Lu Jin was going to court during the day, and Lin Xiaoman ran to the county government office to watch him interrogate those gangsters. As the victims, Monkey Charmer and Fat Monkey also came to court.
In the end, as expected, Lu Jin sent these gangsters to mine. Since other victims came out to testify against these people, he directly let them mine for three years. After three years, they would see their performance before deciding whether to let them go.
Home.
Lin Xiaoman felt that the trial of this case was too trivial. How could he not simply sentence him to a few years and depend on his performance? But who said this was an era when officials could judge cases as they pleased?
Anyway, the people watching in the hall are all clapping and applauding.
In addition to this case, several other cases were tried later, such as Mrs. Zhang stole Mrs. Xu’s chicken; Blacksmith Feng sold a pot but did not pay the buyer; a scholar from other places stayed in an inn.
Someone broke into the room at night, stole all my belongings, and even had a porcelain pillow hit on my head...
By the time Lu Jin finished hearing all these miscellaneous cases, it was already past noon.
Looking at the cases announced by the county government for trial in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoman felt that Lu Jin was really not an easy person to be the county magistrate.
Fortunately, the county government does not hold court hearings every day, otherwise there would be no time for farming for one's family.
During the lunch break, Lin Xiaoman told Lu Jin what he had thought of last night, about letting Xu Yuanru raise cattle.
Lu Jin was surprised at first. He thought that Xu Yuanru’s space could only hold things, but he didn’t expect that it could also support animals?
Suddenly, she felt lucky that no one had sent Xu Yuanru far away. This was a treasure. Since she wanted to send someone to lock her up for protection, she should lock her up.
It's just providing a place to stay and sending some people to guard it. You don't even have to take care of food and drink.
Lu Jin called Qingshu and told him a few words. Qingshu also looked in disbelief, but he still believed his master's words and took the order to find Xu Yuanru.
Lin Xiaoman wanted to go home, and Lu Jin hesitated and said that he would not go to Hedong Village for the next two nights, so that Lin Xiaoman would not have to leave food for him and Qingshu at night.
It was obviously not his home, and it was only right that he didn't come. After hearing this, Lin Xiaoman felt a little uncomfortable.
After returning home, I felt a little absent-minded, always feeling that there was some secret hidden behind Lu Jin's hesitation. Did he have a new love and wanted to break up with her? Or did he finally realize that they were in the wrong family before?
But she is already the Princess of Qingping, so even if she is from a different background, her family status should not be much different, right?
I was irritated until Lin Erhu came back bounding and slipped on his butt as soon as he entered the yard. Lin Xiaoman said angrily: "How old are you? You still look like a monkey and can't walk well?"
After saying that, he subconsciously thought of the monkey still living in the county government office. Could it be that Lu Jin wanted to pet the monkey?
Although I know I shouldn’t be jealous over a monkey, why do I feel so sour and uncomfortable?
For the next two days, Lu Jin didn't come home. On the early morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Xiaoman had just put on his thick cotton clothes and wanted to go to Shopkeeper Feng to deliver goods when he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the direction of the village.
There was also a group of children running towards her house.
Lin Xiaoman stood in front of the courtyard gate with a look of surprise on his face. Hearing the sounds over there, it sounded like someone was having a wedding, but what were these children running here to do?
Soon, a group of children ran up to Lin Xiaoman. First they held their little fists and congratulated Lin Xiaoman, and then asked her for sweets.
Lin Xiaoman's family always keeps some candies bought from there, with the outer wrappers peeled off. When children come to the house, they will give them a handful.
Although he didn't understand what they were congratulating, they wanted candy, so Lin Xiaoman went back to the house to get a can, and one child grabbed a handful.
I was just about to ask them who was having a wedding over there. After all, with her status, anyone who was holding a wedding would send her an invitation, but she didn't receive an invitation from who was holding a wedding today. Could it be that she had forgotten?
