"Huh?" Ximen Qing looked at Wu Yueniang with a half-smile, stretched out a fist, then spread out his fingers one by one, and told her about the current situation.
"Dongmei? Yes, she ran out, but now all the doors are closed. If she goes out, she can't come back. Didn't you calculate the time?"
"You still don't know, I just sent the butler to deliver three hundred guan to the magistrate. Oh, I have to thank Abacus Li for this. He saved these 300 guan through hard work. Now, sir, I am the county captain of this county. At the gate
Every cow is guarded by a servant."
"Yes, your father and brother are here, and they brought a group of people with them, but they were blocked by Niu Dutou at the gate."
"Dongmei took them to Xiaomen. Well, the latest news just now is that your brother and Dongmei drank the pot water."
After Ximen Qing finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Wu Yueniang "kindly", as if a teacher was looking at an unlearned and incompetent student and wanted to give him some advice.
"What!" Wu Yueniang was no less shocked than before. She didn't expect that so many things had happened during this period, and her own fire of hope was ruthlessly extinguished by Ximen Qing.
"When can I get out of here?" Wu Yueniang's heart sank into the bottomless abyss, and she thought sadly, "Why did I forget to tell Dongmei about becoming a county captain just now?"
"When can we go in?" Outside the Ximen Mansion, there was a group of people in a panic, some standing and some sitting. In the middle squatted Wu Qianhu, with a sullen face and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Uncle Wu and Dongmei squatted aside with grimaces, smelling the smell of pot water all over their heads and bodies.
"You can't get out, and they can't get in." Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "But you can meet in a while."
Wu Yueniang stared at Ximen Qing's mouth and suddenly asked: "What do you mean?"
"Sir, what I mean is..." Ximen Qing paused deliberately, as if he was enjoying Wu Yueniang's charming expression: "I'm going to divorce you."
Wu Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Anyway, things have reached this point. Ximenda has already lost 90% of the wealth he has worked hard to save all his life. Although he was divorced and his reputation was not good, Wu Yueniang has also already lost it.
Won't care anymore.
Originally, when he was at Ximen's house, he was no different from being a widow. Except for the wedding night, Ximen Qing took advantage of the wine and played a few tricks. During the rest of the day, he either went out to have fun or went to Zhuo Dier's place to spend the night.
Wu Yueniang suddenly found that she could count the number of times she and Ximen Qing had sex.
Maybe, if I leave this man, I will be happy.
Looking at Wu Yueniang with a relaxed expression, why didn't Ximen Qing know what she was thinking? Is it enough just to divorce Wu Yueniang? Ximen Qing didn't think so.
"Stay well and stop playing hanging games." Ximen Qing said calmly: "Master, I'm going to write a letter of divorce."
"You two, just throw this guy to the woodshed and watch, don't let him die." Ximen Qing kicked the semi-conscious Abacus Li on the ground: "Oh, we still have to find a bookkeeper, it's a headache...
"
Seeing Ximen Qing and Xue'er clinging to each other and walking out of the house, Wu Yueniang's heart was already numb, and she no longer even felt angry or jealous.
"Let this end soon."
"Master." Xue'er asked in a low voice: "My aunt has been in the house for many years, and she has worked hard even if she has no merit. Would you like me to think more about it?"
Ximen Qing smiled softly: "She worked very hard. She took away my five thousand guan."
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. I will make the Wu family spit out all the five thousand strings until the last penny."
Xue'er lowered her head and thought for a while, and stopped talking.
Ximen Qing smiled with satisfaction. The two came to the study room. Ximen Qing gave an order. The book boy opened the rice paper and pressed it on all sides. The book boy took the Duan inkstone and took out a piece of Hui ink. Xueer took it with a smile: "
Let the slave grind the ink for the master himself."
Seeing Xue'er's little hand holding the thick square of Hui ink and drawing circles in the Duan inkstone, Ximen Qing couldn't help but think of the scene this morning, and was a little stunned for a moment.
This Xue'er hasn't fully grown yet, but it's already in its prime, which is pitiful. If I could take Xue'er back to my own time, wow.
"Master, the ink has been polished." Xueer reminded Ximen Qing softly.
"Oh, good!" Ximen Qing woke up from his thoughts, went to the shelf and took out a Hu pen, licked enough ink, and the pen was running wildly, and he immediately wrote a letter of divorce.
Looking at the crooked and unique font, Ximen Qing nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good. It's almost the best I've ever written."
The book boy on the side kept watching, and he had a strong desire to complain and blurted out: "This word is written like this, it is quite strange."
It's no wonder that Ximen Qing was originally uneducated and had never practiced calligraphy properly when he was a child. In the era when he came, no one had practiced calligraphy for a long time.
Xue'er also leaned over, frowning and resisting the feeling of vomiting after reading two lines, and couldn't bear to read any more.
"This kind of calligraphy is the only one in the world." Ximen Qing boasted proudly to himself: "In the future, when I become famous...this font will be called Chuixueti! It will rank with the four famous masters of Su Huang, Mi Cai! Su Huang
Mi Cai Chuixue!”
This time, even the painting boy who didn't come over to see it couldn't bear it, so he hid and vomited.
Although the handwriting was not very good, what Ximen Qing did not expect was that he would shock the literary world and become famous all over the world because of this letter of divorce. When people talked about this letter of divorce, they all respectfully called it "Chui Xue Qi divorce letter".
.
"Wu Yueniang, for the following reasons, she is married to Ximen Qing, and is willing to write this letter of divorce and allow her to remarry without any disputes. She is afraid that she will have no evidence, so she voluntarily makes this letter of agreement."
"If you disrespect women and yell at your husband, stop!"
"Crying for no reason and being a liar, stop!"
"Unreasonable jealousy, discord with your husband, divorce!"
"If you don't want to repent and threaten to die, stop!"
"Control your property and use it to support your parents' family. Stop!"
"Stop being a bully and bullying the weak!"
"There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having any descendants. Stop!"
"Hush, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest!"
Well, in fact, Ximen Qing only used the last one to make up for it. Anyway, in this era, it is a real reason to divorce his wife.
Ximen Qing read it twice himself, threw his pen and laughed and said: "The calligraphy is good, the writing style is even better!"
Xueer closed her eyes and picked up the rice paper to dry the ink. She folded it up after fumbling with her fingers. Then she opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, what should we do next?"
"How to do it?" A smile appeared at the corner of Ximen Qing's mouth, playing with the mutton fat jade pendant: "The next step is to make this matter bigger."
Then, Ximen Qing asked someone to take Wu Yueniang out of the room and found two maids to accompany her. Ximen Qing walked in front and headed towards the door.
Niu Du was leaning against the door and squinting. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened behind him, and he almost fell in: "What birdman, you opened the door without saying a word!"
Niu Du turned around and realized that it was his immediate boss Ximen Qing: "It turns out to be the county captain. I am a quick talker. I hope the county captain will forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ximen Qing was in a very good mood now: "I didn't expect that the cows were sleeping at the door. How about it? Is it hard?"
As he said this, Ximen Qing had already stuffed a lot of money into him: "I just took office today, so this is a meeting gift. Brothers, I stood on the post for a long time and took it to drink some tea."
Niu Dutou's eyes lit up, and he put the money directly into his sleeves regardless of the salivation of the two government officials next to him: "Ah, my Lord County Captain, you are so polite! Why are you afraid of such a trivial matter? What else do you have to do, sir?
Order!"
"That's easy to say. Go and help call Wu Qianhu over."
Within three minutes, Wu Qianhu and Uncle Wu appeared at the gate with Dongmei and the group of people.
"What, what's going on?" Ximen Qing looked at Uncle Wu, whose clothes were still dry, pinched his nose and said, "Who is so bold, pouring water on the pot? It tastes pretty good."
"You guy!" Uncle Wu jumped up and was about to attack with his whistle stick in hand.
"Huh?" His immediate boss was right in front of him, and Niu Dutou showed off his behavior. He simply pulled out his waist knife, blocked Ximen Qing behind him, and pointed the knife at Uncle Wu: "You guys, what do you want?"
What to do?"
The two government officials also pretended to stand on both sides of Ximen Qing with water and fire sticks, pretending to be loyal to the Lord.
This feeling is so good!
"Ximen Qing, what do you want to do?" Although he grabbed the impulsive Uncle Wu, Wu Qianhu couldn't hold himself back and shouted loudly: "Where is my daughter?"
"Your daughter?" Ximen Qing looked confused and pushed Niu Du's head away from him: "Your daughter is fine, what do you call her?"
"Wu Yueniang, come out."
Following Ximen Qing's instructions, two maids brought Wu Yueniang out.
Seeing his daughter's dull expression, Wu Qianhu felt a little distressed and shouted: "Ximen Qing, what did you do to my daughter?"
"I want to call the county captain!" Niu Dutou was furious and was about to step forward with his knife.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ximen Qing laughed, stepped forward and handed the divorce letter to Wu Qianhu: "It doesn't matter what it is called. There is a divorce letter here, old man Wu, please keep it."
The two maids also handed Wu Yueniang to Dongmei.
"What kind of bird is this!" Wu Qianhu opened the divorce letter and looked at it twice, almost vomiting.
"Can you understand? As long as you can understand." Ximen Qing announced lazily: "From now on, Wu Yueniang and I will no longer have a relationship as husband and wife."
"As the newly appointed county captain of this county, I have one more thing to announce."
"That's a case of misappropriation of property."
"Old man Wu, listen carefully. The fact that you asked Wu Yueniang to go undercover and secretly embezzle the wealth of my Ximen family has been made known to this county lieutenant."
"As the first case accepted by the new appointee, everyone from Zhu County magistrate to the county lieutenant attaches great importance to it."
"So, Old Man Wu, remember to come to the Yamen tomorrow morning, otherwise Niu Dutou will come to your door in person with an arrest warrant."
