Chapter Ninety-Six: The Little Thief
Even in Qizhou, if it weren't for the New Year's holiday, it would be rare for these jugglers who traveled all over the world to stay in the same place.
I happened to meet today, Gu Shiyun is playful and playful, and she didn't plan to leave for a long time, but she forgot that the first place to go to today's visit was Mandarin Duck Lake.
Gu Anning didn't make a sound to remind her when she saw that the third girl and the fourth girl were happy, but occasionally glanced at Jiang Yuan, and as soon as she raised her head, she met the pair of black and white eyes, with a faint smile in her eyes, which would look at her looking up, but as if she had been caught, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Anning was surprised, and turned her head to look at the other side, but her little face turned red unconsciously, and she pinched her handkerchief with both hands, perhaps feeling the sight that had been on her body made her back stiff.
Just when she was uncomfortable, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a half-old boy hit her directly, and suddenly his body fell backwards unsteadily, Jiang Yuan stood on her side, and quickly stopped the person with one hand.
Without waiting for Gu Anning to react, the kid left in a hurry, and then someone shouted to catch the thief, and the crowd immediately became chaotic.
After a while, a few people surged, running towards Gu Anning's side one by one, Jiang Yuan hugged the people in his arms in time, and blocked those who rushed over with one hand.
Seeing the chaos of the crowd, Jiang Yuan's face sank a little, and he hurriedly escorted Gu Anning to an open place, while Gu Shiyun and the four girls were still watching the juggling before they realized it, but fortunately, there was a maid beside him who was not bumped into at this time.
"Cheng'an, go and arrest that little boy just now. "Jiang Yuan is a general, and if you don't want to care about this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, you can't do it under your nose.
Cheng An was Jiang Yuan's entourage who had followed him for many years, and when he heard this, he immediately replied, and walked quickly in the direction where Fang Cai Xiaotong left.
Seeing that someone was chasing him, Jiang Yuan was humane to the man in his arms. "But are you okay?"
Gu Anning reacted, her little face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and she hurriedly took half a step back and said embarrassedly. "It's all right, thank you, General. ”
Although he is already a married person. She was also a woman in her previous life, but the reserve and shyness of those daughters in her bones are naturally reflected.
Now that he was silent, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw her appearance. Before he could speak, Gu Shiyun and the four girls hurriedly came over.
"I thought something was going on, I didn't see you as soon as I turned around, what are those people chasing?" Gu Shiyun saluted Jiang Yuan slightly, but didn't dare to look up at people, but fortunately, the eldest young master of the Jiang family was tall and mighty. Even if you don't have this black gauze hat, as long as you don't look up, you won't be able to see the terrifying appearance.
Gu Anning shook his head. "Fang was just bumped into, but another thief was chased and ran. ”
"Little thief?" Gu Shiyun hurriedly said when she heard this. "Tranquility, take a look at what you carry with you, and you can lose any of your valuables when you pass by. ”
After Gu Shiyun's reminder, Gu Anning hurriedly touched his waist, and then remembered. "I forgot that I rarely carry things with me on weekdays. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Qingzhu coming in a hurry and said with a crying voice. "Girl. Oh no, the money bag that the slave and maid brought today is gone. ”
Qingzhu has always carried silver money with him for fear of falling, but he forgot about it when he went out too loosely today, and said, crying with a small face, and his eyes were red.
There were not only some silver in it, but also five hundred taels of silver tickets, which were brought by her own girl, and it was difficult to go out to buy a lot of things.
Hearing this, Gu Anning's eyebrows gathered together.
"It must have been the thief who was shouted and caught. Gu Shiyun was shocked. Turned to Qingzhu and asked. "How much silver was lost?"
"Some fifty taels of silver, and five hundred taels of silver. Qingzhu's voice was a little choked, the first time he made a mistake was such a big mistake, five hundred taels, as a first-class maid, Yueyin was only two taels.
Gu Shiyun heard this. Hurriedly said. "Fortunately, it's just silver taels, and there are no other valuables. ”
Gu Shiyun is the concubine of the West Courtyard, and the old lady gave a lot of rewards to the four ladies during the New Year's holidays, and the five hundred taels of silver were naturally not taken into account, not to mention that it was something that others lost.
When the four girls heard this, they heard this. His eyes flashed, and he said. "I don't know if the thief can catch up, the blue sky and the white sun are so bold, not to mention that there is a general here, if he is caught, he will be sent to the government. ”
This sentence was said normally, but she didn't hear anything else, but it was Gu Anning who glanced at her, only to see that the fourth girl didn't speak again with a smile on her face.
After waiting for a while, he saw Cheng'an come back and handed over Qingzhu's lost purse. "You see it's all in there?"
Qingzhu saw that the purse was back, and he didn't have time to thank him, so he opened it and took a look before he nodded carefully. "It's the lost purse, and the silver in it is also there. After that, he hurriedly saluted Cheng'an. "Thank you, Brother Cheng'an. ”
Cheng An and Qingzhu met yesterday, and the last time Jiang Yuan went to the border to send things, Cheng An personally sent them, and the two met a few times.
Seeing Qingzhu so happy, Cheng An scratched his head a little embarrassed. "Miss Qingzhu doesn't have to be polite, this is as it should be. ”
"Since the purse is back, look at the time is not early, it is better to find a place to have lunch and then go to the Mandarin Duck Lake cruise, there are many people during the New Year's festival on weekdays, my mother does not let me wait to go out, I will have fun before going back today. Gu Shiyun said that, then turned around and got into the carriage.
The four girls also followed.
Gu Anning originally planned to sit in the same carriage with them, but Jiang Yuan grabbed his wrist and said. "You can sit in this carriage with me. ”
Seeing this, Gu Anning was picked up by Jiang Yuan before she could react, which felt very bad, she always felt that she was directly carried up like this.
Qingzhu was stunned as Young Master Jiang took his girl directly into the carriage, and quickly looked around, fortunately, no one was looking at this side, if he knew that his girl was carried up, it would not be good-looking.
Then he went to the carriage in the back.
Gu Anning looked at Jiang Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, a little strangely, and said. "Even though it was in the carriage, the general could take off the black veil. ”
Jiang Yuan was unmoved when he heard this, and said half-loudly. "This honor frightened many girls, and now I am afraid that you will be cautious when I sit there. ”
The words were direct, and Gu Anning was stunned for a moment, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and sat for a while, then he reached out and quickly took off the black yarn on Jiang Yuan's head. "The carriage is already narrow, and the general is tall and mighty and condescends to sit like pins and needles in this carriage, and it is not uncomfortable to bring a black veil.
