Chapter 9 Five taels of silver

In the afternoon, fewer people were walking around the village, so Cheng Xin took Meiran out the door.

The sun was still a little sunny, and Mei Ran held an umbrella without saying a word, covering her head.

She is a martial arts practitioner. She usually walks quickly and slowly, and now she slows down.

Cheng Xin turned his head and his eyes stopped on her thick bangs.

"Mei Ran, aren't you hot?"

“Not hot.”

"I heard you had a hairpin last month."

"yes."

"Then I haven't had time to give you a gift." Cheng Xin pulled out a beaded hairpin from his head: "I'll give this to you."

The pearl hairpin is very beautiful, just like the plum blossom style, and it was specially selected by Cheng Xin before going out.

Mei Ran stopped: "This is too expensive."

"Haiba is an extremely important day for a woman. It is far from comparable to a bead hairpin." Cheng Xin pulled Mei Ran and inserted the bead hairpin into her hair: "I hope you can forget those unhappy days and start from scratch."

Mei Ran lowered her head slightly, and her thick bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.

Cheng Xin continued to move forward.

Mei Ran and Wenqi are the same age as Wenqi, and they also entered the mansion in the same year. They have been with the original owner for five years. After being together for so long, they were sold out, which is really heartbreaking.

Cheng Xin has been in the martial arts museum since she was a child. She knows the difficulties and hardships of practicing martial arts very well. Mei Ran has a familiar feeling, and what she wants to ease the most is the relationship with Mei Ran.

"Mei Ran, how long have you practiced martial arts?"

"Since my wife sent me to Jiangnan, I have been practicing martial arts with President Lin for five years."

"What else do you do besides practicing sword?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Ran was a little surprised. Miss had never cared about these things.

"Hidden weapons and light skills."

Cheng Xin looked at her with envy, but these two items were not available in modern times.

"Will you teach me how to practice swords in the future?"

"Miss, this-" Mei Ran shook her head: "Madam will not allow it."

Cheng Xin knew that Mei Ran was just an excuse. Mrs. An Guogong did not control her daughter like other noble families in the capital and let her be free. I think she would not stop her from practicing martial arts.

Not Cheng Xin didn't continue, she didn't want to force others.

At this time, Mrs. Chen ran over from the ridge of the field and panted: "Miss, why are you going out at this time? The sun is still very poisonous now?"

Of course she is in a hurry. She only has about four days left for her health, so she doesn't care about sun or rain.

Cheng Xin said, "It's okay. You can take an umbrella and lead the way."

"No, no, the old woman just digs food from the field, so why would she be afraid of this?"

Mrs. Chen walked in front, passed through several ridges, and came to the fence wall in the center of the two farms. She shouted a few times at the farmhouse not far away.

Soon a man ran over from the farmhouse.

The fence door was opened, and the man glanced at Cheng Xin wearing a hat and said, "Is this the lady from the Duke's Mansion?"

Mrs. Chen shouted: "Why are you standing stupidly? Why don't you pay me a favor to the lady?"

"Little Chen Gui, I've seen a lady." Chen Gui hurriedly gave a gift of rules.

"No need to be polite. I just want to eat fresh loquats, which is too much disturbing." Cheng Xin said.

"Miss, I'm so kind. I heard that our third lady and you are handkerchiefs. When you come here, the youngest must be the one who treats you well on behalf of the third lady."

Cheng Xin nodded and walked forward with Mei Ran.

Chen Gui and Chen Ma Zi were a few steps behind.

Chen Gui lowered his voice: "Aunt, tell me the truth, is this lady really here to pick loquats?"

"If you don't make loquats, can you come to see you, the dealer boy?"

"Oh, aunt, I didn't joke with you. You don't know yet. Our eldest lady was sent to the village. I heard from the manager that he offended Miss An Guogong and was sent to the placement."

Mrs. Chen tightened her face: "Miss An Guogong? That's this!"

"Isn't it her? This lady is not here to trouble our house, right? This is not OK. Although the eldest lady is not a favored person, if something happens to her nephew's house, if the nephew loses his job, his life will be lost."

"Oh, you bastard, why didn't you say it earlier? I wouldn't agree to her coming. Let's pick the loquats and send them to you."

"It's just that I remembered this-"

At this moment, Cheng Xin turned around and said, "What did you think of?"

The two of them suddenly froze.

Chen Gui smiled awkwardly: "No, nothing."

"You guys are not hurrying." Mei Ran said.

"Hey, here we are here."

The two of them ran over with their teeth, but they didn't dare to whisper again.

Chen Gui led the way in front. Seeing that the route he led was getting farther and farther away from Wen Yunxian's yard, Cheng Xin changed the way and walked towards the yard.

Chen Gui was shocked: "Miss, go here, the loquat tree is here."

"I'm tired and want to take a break."

Tired?

What a fool, I've only taken a few steps?

When his wife chased him and beat him, she could run two hills in a row without any breath.

Mrs. Chen was anxious. How could this lady's legs look like noodles? They were soft as if they were soft.

I must have been told by my nephew that I wanted to trouble Miss Wen’s family.

Chen Gui pointed to a nearby yard and said, "Miss, the road ahead is not easy to walk. If you don't dislike it, go to the small yard to sit."

"I dislike it." Cheng Xin continued to walk.

Chen Gui was choked like this and couldn't continue anything he wanted to say.

Cheng Xin approached Wen Yunxian's yard and heard crying inside.

"Manager Wang, my lady is sick. She is given medicine to take the money. You, you can't rob—"

"Give it to bring you!" A fierce voice came through the courtyard wall: "I know exactly what you brought that day. You stolen this five taels of silver."

"I don't have it, this is our lady's."

"Bah, as a lady, she actually did such shameless things. Today, I have to discipline you well for the lady. Come on, beat me well and beat me to death!"

"Yes!" Someone responded, and then screams and cries came.

Five taels of silver!

Cheng Xin suddenly captured this keyword. The heroine's maid in her previous life was beaten to death because of these five taels of silver.

Cheng Xin quickly stepped forward and heard a weak cold shout from inside: "Stop!"

Cheng Xin stopped at the entrance of the yard and through the gap in the middle of the door, he saw the girl opposite him holding the door frame coming out of the room.

She looked like she was seriously ill and her face was terrible. Her slender body seemed to be blowing her down with a gust of wind.

"Haha, I'll just say, Miss, aren't you doing well? This maid actually cursed you for being sick, it's almost time to beat you!"

"Manager Wang, if you do it again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
