Ye Xiaotian yelled three or five times, the door inside the room with four or five cracks, which looked like a chapped old face, opened with a "squeak", and a young woman in a green shirt and skirt came out gracefully. Fumen stood still, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
Under the fair and clean forehead of this woman, a pair of black eyebrows that look like distant mountains are gently frowning, as if there is an invisible ray of sorrow locked. The thin waist is tied with a thin belt, and there is a kind of gracefulness coming out from the bones.
She stood gracefully holding the door, and the door with mottled paint and cracks revealed a kind of elegance because of it. Although she was dressed in a commoner dress and a thin figure, she was unparalleled in beauty.
This girl is born with a gentle beauty that makes people feel pity when they see her. The so-called misfortune does not have to be so beautiful that it can turn all living beings upside down, but the kind of appearance and temperament that can directly capture your heart, making foolish gentlemen willing to do their best for her. The woman in front of me obviously has such conditions.
When Ye Xiaotian saw such a wonderful person, even though he was born at the foot of the emperor and had seen many beauties, he couldn't help being stunned, and thought to himself: "Good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboos, Yang Lin's virtue is as good as that of a cricket, I don't want to give birth to a fox pretty daughter."
The girl lived alone in the humble place and never interacted with anyone. Only the family members of the Yang family came to deliver the brown rice once a month. This place was in a dead end, and no one even passed by the door. Now that she suddenly saw a strange man, she still rushed. The one who came after her was surprised and felt somewhat guarded, and asked softly, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Young lady invited me. Next, Ye Xiaotian came from the capital city and brought a letter written by his father Yang Lin and Master Yang."
The woman exclaimed "Ah", covered her mouth with her hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "You... what did you say, whose letter did you bring?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Little lady, will you open the courtyard door first and let me go in and talk?"
The woman just came to her senses and hurried forward to open the door. After she took off the latch and opened the courtyard door, Ye Xiaotian was about to step in when he heard a shout from the entrance of the alley: "Hey, that boy, what are you doing? "
Ye Xiaotian turned his head and saw four or five men who had just turned into the alley, and the person in front of him, with a shriveled figure like a green bamboo pole, was Yang Sanshou, the chief steward of the Yang family who ordered the slaves to beat him just now.
Ye Xiaotian was taken aback immediately, with Yang Sanshou around, these people might not be kind, but he didn't know what they were doing here, if the suicide note from Yang Lin he brought fell into their hands, the five hundred taels of silver would definitely be smashed.
Ye Xiaotian hurried into the yard, and said to the girl: "No, there are people from Yang's mansion. This letter of mine is very important, and it must not fall into their hands. Miss Yang, I will dodge it for a while and come back later." Looking for you to discuss important matters."
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he hurriedly looked around and saw a chicken coop in the corner of the wall. Looking at the cobweb, he didn't know how long it had been since he had raised chickens. With a shake of the arm, he climbed to the top of the wall, and heard a "bang", the chicken coop collapsed...
The girl was at a loss for what to do by the series of events. Seeing Ye Xiaotian who was struggling among the broken bricks and rubble in a daze, Yang Sanshou had led a few strong men into the door and shouted aggressively: "You Where did the adulterer flee to... catch him!"
※※※
Ye Xiaotian was pushed and shoved, and finally walked through the corner door into the Yang family compound where he had been looking forward to for two months, walked for two months, but finally dared not take the last step. Yang Sanshou held Ye Xiaotian in high spirits, this foreign boy was sneaky, he must have an affair with that lowly maidservant, even if he didn't, he could insist that he did, in front of Madam, how could he be deprived of his benefits? hey-hey!
The more Yang Sanshou thought about it, the happier he became, and he gave Ye Xiaotian a hard push, and shouted: "Hurry up, you've got the guts of a bear, and you dare to steal a woman from my Yang family. Let's see how I amuse you, Third Master." !"
Ye Xiaotian was really troubled, the crime of stealing is not a light one, but to get rid of the crime, the most direct and most effective way is to take out the letter and tell the truth, but can he say it, once he tells it, the five hundred taels of silver will fly away Well, if the Yang family is a little more black and insists that he is an adulterer, then even he will be gone. Ye Xiaotian has heard a little about how the people deal with adulterers.
The Qingrou girl was also tied up with him, and when they arrived at the moon gate in the back house, the maid of the inner house escorted the girl in to see his wife, but Ye Xiaotian was stopped outside.
Ye Xiaotian saw two or three people standing beside him, and they seemed to be waiting to meet the master of the Yang family. The leader was a short man with a short beard like a thorn, a broad waist and big arms, and a fleshy face. He was rubbing his hands when he saw Yang San thin, He came up to meet him and asked anxiously, "Brother Sanshou, how did my little lady get tied in?"
Yang Sanshou snorted coldly and said: "That little bitch dared to corrupt my Yang family's style and have an affair with this little white face. It's really unreasonable. Just wait, after my wife has used the family law, then put that little bitch Take it with you."
The rough man was quite dissatisfied when he heard this, and he pursed his thick lips and said: "If your wife beats such a young lady with thin skin and tender flesh, how can she live? Sanshou brother, that little lady will be fine immediately!" She is mine, and it is up to me to punish her."
Yang Sanshou teased with a half-smile: "Hey, yo, I said Mu Tuhu, you are quite sympathetic to the fragrance and cherish the jade. Before people give it to you, you start to sympathize with the fragrance. What's wrong with you teaching a lesson."
Butcher Mu murmured disapprovingly: "It's okay to marry a concubine and a woman, as long as she is young, beautiful and curvy. It doesn't matter how many men she has slept with before. Isn't it the same? Anyway, when she comes to my house, call her Not even a male mosquito."
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but secretly stunned: "Although the young lady of the Yang family is a concubine's daughter, she is also an official after all. This Mrs. Yang just heard that her husband is dead, so she is going to sell her daughter to the butcher as a concubine. Liang, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?"
When Yang Sanshou heard Mu Tuhu's words, his face sank immediately, and he said displeasedly: "You don't understand people's words, do you think you can buy a Ruhuasi from my Yang family with just ten taels of silver?" Yu's woman? Bah! If it wasn't for my wife's intention to humiliate that little bitch, how could it be your turn to enjoy the blessings, and you really regard yourself as someone who is shameless."
When Yang Sanshou showed his power, he scolded the Butcher Mu so much that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to argue, so he retreated angrily, muttering and didn't know what to say.

In the back house, the graceful Mrs. Yang, who is nearly fifty years old, is walking slowly with a man in a shirt who is older than her, with gray hair and a clear face. It looks very elegant and elegant.
While walking, the gentleman said with a sullen expression: "Sister, this is very inappropriate. Selling her to a butcher? You can think of such an idea. If you do this, you will not tarnish your reputation." ?”
An unnatural look flashed across Mrs. Yang's face, she hesitated to speak, paused, and then said: "I just can't bear this bad breath, if I don't teach that little slut to suffer, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart." , don’t worry about this matter, brother.”
The gentle Confucian stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said: "San Shou sent back the news from the front, saying that there are wild men coming and going in and out of her yard?"
Mrs. Yang said bitterly: "That's right! This little bitch is really restless, and even raises wild men. I definitely can't forgive them lightly."
The gentle Confucian chuckled, with a gleam in his eyes, and said: "Sister, since you have this reason, why did you sell her to the butcher and ruin your own reputation. Today, guests from all over the world came to express their condolences. Are you here too, since this couple of dogs has ruined the family style of the Yang family, why not hand it over to the patriarch?"
Mrs. Yang suddenly realized, and said happily: "That's right! Why didn't I think of it, it's still my brother who thinks thoroughly!"
The two of them walked to a convenient door, and there was a servant girl waiting there, offering a few white silks with both hands, the brother and sister took them, first tied a white silk ribbon on their foreheads, and then wrapped a white silk ribbon around their waists, and slowly Step out.
The soft girl was waiting outside the door, when she saw Mrs. Yang arrived, she burst into tears and choked up, "Ma'am, Shui Wu was wronged, Shui Wu didn't do anything wrong with others, Ma'am..."
Mrs. Yang's face was ice-cold, she smiled coldly, and said proudly: "You should save these words to the patriarch and take them away!"
…
Ye Xiaotian waited outside the Moon Gate for a long while, when a little maid came hurriedly from the house, panting and said to Yang Sanshou: "Housekeeper, madam wants you to take this man to the mourning hall and wait for the patriarch to deal with it!"
After Yang Sanshou heard this, he asked people to escort Ye Xiaotian, and walked through the courtyards, large and small, and came to a very spacious courtyard, where he saw cigarettes in the main hall and elegiac couplets in the corridors. At that time, everyone in Yang's mansion wore hemp and filial piety, and there were many guests standing in the courtyard in groups of three and four, guided by the master of ceremonies from time to time, entering and leaving the mourning hall to pay homage.
Seeing this situation, Xiaotian thought to himself: "This is the mourning hall for that old bastard, they brought me here..."
Ye Xiaotian was suddenly overjoyed as a flash of light flashed in his mind. What he was most worried about was that if the letter was found, it would be destroyed by the Yang family. Now there are many guests in this mourning hall, all of whom are prominent figures in Jingzhou City, if Yang Lin's will is revealed in front of them...
In front of many people in the same social circle, the Yang family might be concerned about their reputation and image. However, this is just a speculation, even if Mrs. Yang is unscrupulous, the guests are too lazy to uphold justice for him, a foreigner, it would be great if someone from the family was present.
Ye Xiaotian turned his mind secretly, and began to observe those guests carefully. At this time, several strong shrews also tied up that beautiful and gentle girl, and tied her body with ropes, so that her graceful figure could be seen at a glance.
Seeing the woman's figure, Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up immediately, he took a peek at the woman, and commented secretly: "This little lady has a slender waist, a thin face, and slender legs. She looks very slim, but she didn't expect her breasts... Quite predictable."
Ye Xiaotian is born with a "unsparing" temperament, just now he was worried that the Yang family would have some vicious methods waiting for him, but now he is still interested in peeking at Chunguang.
