Chapter 20 Please enter the urn

The Lidian, who is responsible for the civil affairs work in the Yu family, is called Shu San. He has two sons and one daughter at the age of 35. He has been from Yan Jiting for generations. Because he has learned some words after studying privately and is good at welcoming and sending people, he is cited as Lidian by the villagers. He usually has barely fair work and has a smooth job in the position of Lidian, but he has no outstanding political achievements and has never seen the hope of being promoted to the supreme husband (the township chief).

The fact that he was unable to get promoted has made Shu San sigh and feel disappointed many times, and he complained quietly more than once. He once wanted to take some special ways to get a new position for him. Unfortunately, his family was not in a good position and his family was not well off. Therefore, he never got what he wanted. He gradually became a little desperate, feeling that his career in this life might not be able to make any progress.

However, after a trip to the city on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the situation suddenly changed. Shu San's mood for his position suddenly became a little high. He was always flirting with official documents and books with great enthusiasm. His eyes often had an unconcealable joy. As the person next to him, his wife quickly discovered this change and asked him if she had encountered any happy events. Shu San shook her head and refused to answer, but she smiled and said that you will know after a few days. After his wife asked in detail, Shu San still gritted her teeth and refused to answer. She wanted to give her wife a surprise in the future, and she did not want her to know too much inside story.

Shu San's joyful mood changed some times on the night of the fourth day of the 10th. Because Shu San received the news, Yu Jian, the home of the largest wealthy local household, suddenly welcomed a group of special guests. The identity and origin of these guests made Shu San worried for a while. However, considering that he was secretly in the other party and was confident that he had never exposed his position, Shu San firmly believed that he would never be in danger. Anyway, there was a high person who was pushing his needles behind him.

The next morning, just after breakfast, the Yu family sent a servant to find Shu San, saying that Yu Jian had figured out something, wanted to invite Shu San to discuss, and wanted to ask Shu San to help. Although the servants of the Yu family did not say in detail what Yu Jian had figured out and wanted to ask Shu San to help, Shu San immediately understood the implicit sound of Yu Jian, and even vaguely guessed that Yu Jian might have made a complete break with someone last night. He was overjoyed and did not make any extra thoughts. He immediately followed the servants of the Yu family out and headed straight for the Yu family.

Maybe the group of tragic children who went there and made a fuss there had already left. The Yu family's yard was quiet, there were not many sounds, and there were not many people in the living room. Apart from the sick Yu Jian sitting in the master's position, only Yu Zhi, who Shu San knew, and a strange young man with a good appearance, were waiting in the living room. After seeing Shu San being led in by his servant, Yu Jian hurriedly struggled to get up and said, "Zhi'er, please help him with your father, please sit in Li Dian, and ask him to sit on."

"Don't be polite, you don't need to get up." Knowing that Yu Jian was sick, Shu San hypocritically advised Yu Jian not to be polite. He sat at the first place at the guest seat at Yu Zhi's invitation and asked Yu Jian with concern: "Don't Yu, are you better? Have you ever asked a doctor for a visit?"

"I don't know if it's good or not." Yu Jian confessed and said with a cough: "I have invited the disease doctor, but it's useless. I still feel drowsy and uncomfortable."

"Mr. Yu is a heart disease and it is not easy to cure it." The strange young man sitting opposite Shu San suddenly spoke and said, "If you want to cure this disease, you must ask Li Dian for your help."

"Are you..." Shu San asked tentatively.

"I'm Xiang Kang, the next few days ago, who took the liberty to propose marriage to Yu Gong Yu Shu." The strange man with a good appearance gave a surprise answer to Shu San, and then Xiang Kang said: "But that's already a thing of the past. I had already discussed it with Yu Gong last night. We are going to pretend that nothing has happened. I and Yu Shu of Yu Gong may not have any relationship in the future."

"It's true that you still want to withdraw your bride." Shu San was secretly happy, but on the surface he looked surprised, and asked in surprise: "What? Mr. Xiang, are you planning to withdraw your bride with Mr. Yu's Yushu?"

"You can't go without retreating." Xiang Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Shan Youwei is unwilling to let go. If I don't retreat from Yu Gong's Yu Shu, Yu Gong's son will be demoted to a city and sent to the border to be a garrison. Yu Gong's son is only the only one who is the Master Yu Zhi, and he cannot tolerate any mistakes. For the sake of Yu Gong's family, I can only withdraw from the marriage."

Shu San sighed with shameless regret, Xiang Kangze asked nervously: "Li Dian, you said that I have retired from Yu Shu's kinship. Will Shan Youwei let Master Yu go and stop forcing him to go to the garrison?"

"Young Master Xiang, how could I know this?" Shu San smiled bitterly and said, "This is something that only Shan Youwei can decide. How dare I make the decision for him?"

"Why should the superior official be modest?" Xiang Kang sighed and said, "Shan Youwei has already brought me a message and asked me to talk to you if I have something to do."

"What does Mr. Xiang mean? Why can't I understand?" Shu San asked vigilantly.

"Shan Youwei sent someone to find me privately and explained it to me directly." Xiang Kang replied: "His people said that as long as I hand over the documents that promised to retire from the Yu family, you can decide for him whether to demote Mr. Yu to a city, and also guarantee him not to cause trouble for me in the future."

"This..." Shu San was speechless, but he never expected that Shan Youwei was still doing this behind his back.

"Don't worry, Lidian, I know you were forced to appear as this evil person by Shan Youwei." Xiang Kang said again: "But it's okay, at least I don't have to go to Lingxian to ask Shan Youwei to see his face and beg him."

Shu San closed his mouth, and he couldn't find anything to say, and he was embarrassed to admit calmly that he was Shan Youwei's white glove. Fortunately, Xiang Kang didn't force him to admit it either, but picked up the brush that had been placed in front of him and said to Shu San: "Lidian, let's finish the matter today. I'll write a letter of departure. Please take it to Shan Youwei. I'll also ask you to give it to Shan Youwei. I'll also say a few good words for Yugong's family in front of Shan Youwei and let Master Yu go."

After saying that, Xiang Kang, who inherited the memory of the previous Xiang Kang, wrote a document that he voluntarily retired from his daughter in Yu Jian on the spot, signed his name, then stood up and handed it to Shu San, and said, "Lidian, look, can you write this way?"

After reading the bamboo slips, Shu San nodded when he saw that the content was correct. Xiang Kang sighed again, and then handed the document of retiring his relatives to Shu San and said, "Li Dian, please."

Shu San subconsciously went to pick up the bamboo slips, but as soon as he touched the bamboo slips, Xiang Kang suddenly took them back and said, "Wait, I almost forgot, Lidian, you have to give me a document to promise for Shan Youwei that he would not demote Mr. Yu to a scholar, and that I would no longer pursue the matter of asking for marriage to Mr. Yushu in the future."

"I have to write too?" Shu San asked in surprise.

"Of course I have to write it." Xiang Kang said: "Otherwise, Yu Shu and I will divorce me. Shan Youwei and you insist on demoting Mr. Yu to a scholar and continue to cause trouble for me. I will go there to complain about the injustice?"

Shu San was a little hesitant, and Xiang Kang quickly turned a wink at Yu Jian. Yu Jian knew it and coughed, "Brother Shu San, I have to ask you to write one, otherwise I really don't dare to rest assured. Don't worry, I have figured it out. As long as you write the document and make a guarantee, I will agree to marry my daughter to the young master of Shan Youwei."

"This..." Shu San was still hesitant.

"What? I can't trust me?" Yu Jian asked, and said again: "Or why should I write you a wedding book now and promise to marry my daughter to the young master of Shan Youwei?"

Shu San hesitated and did not speak. Yu Jian took the pen to make a book at Xiang Kang's suggestion, and also wrote a document on the spot that he decided to marry his daughter to Shan Youwei's son, and asked Yu Zhi to show it to Shu San. Xiang Kang did not look at the contents on the bamboo slips, but just said to Shu San: "Li Dian, my documents on retiring from marriage and the documents on the marriage of Yu Gong. As long as you write a document for Shan Youwei that will not be pursued, you can take both documents away."

After looking at the marriage certificate in Yu Zhi's hand, he thought of the promise that Shan Youwei made in front of him. Shu San's heartbeat could not help but accelerate. Without thinking too much, he picked up the brush that Xiang Kang had already placed in front of him. He picked up the pen and wrote such a line on a blank blank. He was willing to guarantee for Danchang Dan Youwei of the county that he would not compile Yu Zhi into a scholarship, and would no longer pursue Xiang Kang's proposal to the Yu family. Yan Jiting Dian Shu San.

After the bamboo slips were written, Xiang Kang saw that the content was correct, he handed over the documents he promised to break the engagement to Shu San, and also took away Shu San's guarantee letter. Shu San happily took it and reached out to pick up the Xu marriage letter from Yu Zhi's hand. Yu Zhi held it and turned his head to look at Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang understood what he meant and smiled and said, "It's done, don't give it to him."

Yu Zhi was overjoyed and quickly took back the marriage letter, turned around and handed it to Yu Jian. Shu San was shocked and asked, "Young Master Yu, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Xiang Kang smiled and suddenly punched Shu San's nose, causing Shu San's nose to splatter blood. He screamed and bent down to cover his nose, and then smiled and said, "You are fooled by Shu, you are fooled. The evidence of your secretly colluding with Shan Youwei to frame Yu Zhi is already in my hands. Now I see how you explain to the surname Shan."

As he smiled treacherously, Xiang Kang deliberately lit up Liang Shu San just wrote the guarantee letter. Shu San's head was dizzy when he was bleeding from his nose. He suddenly realized that he quickly jumped up to grab the bamboo slip. Xiang Kang had been on guard against him for such a move, and kicked him in the stomach with his legs, and immediately kicked him four feet into the sky, screaming loudly again.

The loud laughter sounded from outside the window and the door at the same time. A dozen Xiang brothers rushed into the lobby with a slap in front, and Xiang Guan, who was rushing to the front, grabbed Shu San like an eagle catching a chicken. He raised his hand and slapped Shu San twice, cursing: "It's a maid! Even the villagers in a pavilion are hurt, and their conscience is eaten by the dog?"

"I didn't? I didn't harm the Yu family!" Shu San, whose mouth and nose were bleeding, quickly defended.

"Is it harmful to the Yu family? Your surname is Shu, you know it clearly." Xiang Kang sneered, swaying the bamboo slips written by Shu San and said, "Your surnamed Shu, you say it yourself. If your county magistrate of Ling County sees this document, how do you explain it?"

"I..., I wrote it and played with it." Shu San said with a tough forehead: "I don't know what the above means."

"I've written it and played it!" Xiang Guan slapped Shu San's face again and said with a fierce expression: "Okay, since you wrote it and played it, then I will accompany you to meet your county magistrate of Ling County and sue you to collude with the Dan and frame the innocent people. Our Xiang brothers are all witnesses. Let's see if your county magistrate thinks you wrote and played it! Let's go!"

As he said that, Xiang Guan really mentioned Shu San and was about to go out. Shu San's soul was scattered and quickly shouted: "Mr. Yu! Duke Yu, save me! I am helping you, I want to help your family, there is no other meaning!"

He waved his hand to stop Xiang Guan for a while. Xiang Kang first snatched the broken engagement bamboo slip he had just written from him and broke it. Then he grabbed Shu Li's hair and asked him to face him. He smiled and said, "Do you want to help the Yu Gong family? I think you want to help yourself, right? He said, the one named Dan promised you what good is it, did he promise you to give you money, or would he promise you to be promoted?"

Shu San dared not answer, but Xiang Kangze smiled and said, "I dare not say it, right? It doesn't matter. When he sees your county magistrate of Ling County, he will have a way to let you speak. At that time, I will see how the one named Dan saves you."

As he said that, Xiang Kang smiled even more ferociously and said, "Also, you have shaken up the scandal of your surname Dan, and you still shake so much. I see how he thanks you. What he promises you will give you."

When Xiang Kang reminded me that Shan Youwei's reaction to his secret leak, Shu San was even more shocked and hurriedly wailed: "Young Master Xiang, please spare me. I was forced. I was really forced. It was Shan Youwei who forced me to do this! If I don't agree, he wouldn't let me go!"

Xiang Kang smiled and straightened Shu San's neck hard, saying, "You'll listen to me if you have a surname Shu. I can pretend that what happened today has not happened, or I can guarantee that the one named Dan will never know. But I have a condition, that is, when you ruled that Mr. Yu's household registration, you must not make him a city registration! Otherwise, I will immediately take you to Ling County to sue the official. If you write this bamboo slip, it is the ironclad evidence that you colluded with Mr. Yu to frame Mr. Yu!"

"But how can I explain to Shan Youwei?" Shu San asked with a sad face.

"I care how you explain it? That's your own business!" Xiang Kang slapped Shu San's face and said viciously: "Of courses, he will only make you lose your post or dismissal at most. I have this evidence. Not only can you lose your post or dismissal, but you can also go to prison and go to Mount Li to be a city hall! Go to the border to build the Great Wall! You can weigh the light and the heavy, you can think about it yourself! Have you heard it?"

Shu San nodded hurriedly, but Yu Jian was a little embarrassed and said, "Shu Lidian, for the sake of his hometown, I will not make you embarrassed. As long as you can solve my husband's son's affairs and prevent him from being demoted to a city, how much does it cost. My husband's son is confused and went to the market to do a business. This matter can be big or small. As long as you help me solve this matter, I will still thank you."

"Did you hear it?" Xiang Kang said to Shu San again: "Mr. Yu is so kind to you. How can you repay him? Is it willing to offend the Dan surname or be willing to be turned away by us to meet the official? It depends on your own! Get out!"

"Get out!" Xiang Guan let go, and kicked Shu San away. Shu San fell down and chewed the mud, but he didn't even dare to say a word. He clamped his tail and hugged his head, and then stumbled out of the door.

After clapping his hands, Xiang Kang turned to Yu Jian and said, "Mr. Yu, it's okay. As long as this person named Shu San is not stupid, he will definitely make a fair judgment under the pressure of Shan Youwei. He will not make Mr. Yu a city. If there is nothing to do, we will say goodbye first. Take care of yourself. If you have anything to do in the future, just send someone to Yanjiting to find me."

"Young Master Xiang, please stay for a few more days." Yu Zhi said quickly: "I'm asking someone to prepare wine and food, please stay for a few more days."

"No need." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "We are embarrassed to always make you spend money. We are leaving because it is still early now. "

After saying that, Xiang Kang bowed, first handed over the bamboo slips written by Shu San to Yu Zhi, and then pulled his brothers to go out. Although the Xiang brothers were a little unwilling to give the face, they were unwilling to make the Yu family feel that they had to repay their kindness. They all bowed to Mr. Yu, followed Xiang Kang and walked out in a big manner. Yu Jian was grateful and hurriedly asked his son to support him, insisting on sending the Xiang brothers out of the door himself.

It was after the Xiang brothers walked away that Yu Miaoge and Yu Gui sisters walked out of the back of the Xiang brothers. Looking at the Xiang brothers' backs away, Yu Gui was puzzled and said, "These debauchery have changed their sex today? They don't want to take the opportunity to have another meal in our family?"

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Xiang and others are gentlemen. They don't want to repay kindness." Yu Miaoge whispered to scold his sister, then glanced at Xiang Kang's back, which was about to disappear, and felt sad in his heart, and said to himself: "Why, he doesn't want to meet me until now? Could it be that he really just wants to help me and doesn't want to have any contact with me?"
