An Yixin looked at the old woman, "What's going on?" She asked quietly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What is filthy and rotten knows to do evil." The old woman didn't lower her voice at all, and scolded and snorted at the cloth shop.
Although the old woman is old, she is a businessman who looks after the store, and she speaks in an orderly manner, and she can make things clear in a few words.
The middle-aged man who beat people was Boss Xu of the cloth shop. The two girls who sat on the ground and cried were sisters, surnamed Liu, from Jiangnan, they were not married, their families had no land and no land, and the two girls and their mothers both made a living by weaving. The mother was seriously ill, and the two girls sold everything that the family could sell, but they did not cure the mother's illness. After the death of the mother, they burned the mother and brought the ashes to the military city to find their father.
Their father went home once two years ago, and the two girls remembered that their father said that he was a military commander in Renwu Military City, and he came all the way to find him, but when he asked at the barracks, he said that there was no such person.
The two girls did not give up, they lived in Renwu, the coils on their bodies were spent, and they tried to earn money to eat while inquiring, so they found Boss Xu's cloth shop, rented a loom and borrowed cotton thread, but they didn't expect the first cloth to be woven, Boss Xu saw that their craftsmanship was so good, so he moved evil thoughts, and picked up a brush on the spot to draw a good piece of cloth into a mess, no matter where he got it, he couldn't sell it for money.
The two girls had no choice but to borrow cotton thread to reweave. But no matter how hard the cloth is woven, every time I get the cloth shop, I am painted bad by Boss Xu, three or five times, the money for renting a loom and cotton thread is said to owe Boss Xu half a tael of silver, and then Boss Xu said that he wanted to take the two sisters as concubines.
Hearing this, Shen Yu slapped the counter hard, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Qianhu.
An Yixin hurriedly touched his head, "Don't worry, didn't that Boss Xu say that there are still three days left?" She whispered.
Shen Yu looked at An Yixin, the two looked at each other, and Shen Yu immediately nodded.
"So the two sisters have been coming to Renwu for a few days, have you found their father?" An Yixin asked the old woman again.
"I can't find out from the barracks, I don't know where their father went." The old woman sighed and said.
An Yixin turned her head to look at the street, and the two sisters had stopped crying, picked up the badly painted cloth and left.
"Do you know where they live?" An Yixin asked again.
"There is an inn in the military city." The old woman said, glancing at Lu Qianhu. "Thousands of households are not people like me who rely on the old and sell the old, ...... people like Boss He"
Lu Qianhu's face flushed, "Mother-in-law, I really don't know about this." I'll ...... when I go back."
"Don't tell the adjutant general, we'll do it ourselves." Shen Yu interrupted him and said with a smile.
Lu Qianhu was stunned, this kind of trivial matter, how can he alarm the deputy general, just find two sergeants and beat him up.
An Yixin also raised his eyes to look at Lu Qianhu, "There is one thing you need to help with, let's go and ask the two sisters what their father's name is first, so that we can help them find someone." ”
When the old woman heard An Yixin say this, she also nodded.
An Yixin and the three of them came to the inn, only to find that although the inn occupied a large area, it was so simple that it was impossible to see. Lu Qianhu followed, and the boss personally led them to the second sisters' room.
The two sisters, still wearing ink-drenched cotton jackets, were sitting at the table and weeping.
The house was too small, and there was no brazier, so Lu Qianhu stood directly at the door.
An Yixin asked a few words softly, the two sisters' statements were completely consistent with the old woman, and finally heard that they were going to help them find their father, and the two sisters were so grateful that they cried again.
An Yixin looked at Lu Qianhu, and Lu Qianhu hurriedly took out a tael of silver and handed it over. "I just asked, and the innkeeper said that they also owe a penny of silver for the house, plus they owe the boss half a tael ......."
"That Boss Xu still wants money?" Without waiting for An Yixin to speak, Shen Yu said with a smile.
With a bright smile and bright eyes, the tone is cold and angry.
"How is the innkeeper doing to you?" Shen Yu asked the two sisters.
"The innkeeper is very nice, he hasn't even said a word ugly, and he takes care of three meals a day......"
Shen Yu nodded without waiting for them to finish, turned his head and instructed Lu Qianhu, "Give these two pieces of silver to the innkeeper in a while." ”
An Yixin looked the sisters up and down, the elder sister looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger sister was only twelve or thirteen, and then thinking about Boss Xu's evil appearance, she was really a little uneasy. "The house money here is settled, you can go back to the general's mansion with us." She said mildly.
"That's not going to work." Shen Yu hurriedly stopped, "If you want to trap that Boss Xu, you can't let him see us with the Liu family sisters." ”
Lu Qianhu had already faintly seen some meaning, and seeing that An Yixin was obviously worried that Boss Xu would force the Liu family sisters without waiting for the expiration of the period, he immediately echoed Shen Yu and said: "Miss Yixin, don't worry, the security in the military city is excellent, no matter how bold Boss Xu is, he won't dare to do anything about robbing people's daughters." The sisters of the Liu family live in the inn very safely. ”
"Not only do you have to stay here, but you also have to weave, and it is better to cry when you have time, and we will avenge you by surviving these three days." Shen Yu told the two sisters.
An Yixin saw that the two sisters were grateful and dazed, and whispered a few words to Shen Yu with a smile. Shen Yu clapped his hands vigorously, "I knew you wanted to go with me again." He said gleefully.
An Yixin Yanran, "You are a master disciple of abacus, I can think of going with you, but it is really face-saving." ”
After An Yixin finished speaking, he asked Lu Qianhu to enter the house, closed the door and explained to them.
After hearing this, the two sisters laughed and thanked each other, An Yixin was still not at ease, and told them that once something happened, they would not care about anything, just cry and run to the general's mansion.
The two sisters smiled and agreed.
An Yixin asked Lu Qianhu how much money he was carrying, and asked him for a silver ticket of ten taels of silver. When he gave the innkeeper the money for the room, he told him not to say that his people had been here, and not to mention that the two sisters had paid off the house money. The innkeeper was originally sympathetic to the Liu sisters, and An Yixin gave far more money than the room money, so he hurriedly agreed.
Shen Yu smiled, looking interested. An Yixin took his hand, and when the three of them walked to the door of the cloth shop, they slowed down and pretended to be shopping.
An Yixin smiled and said to Shen Yu: "Didn't you say last night that you were going to follow the general to the barracks, and you wanted to give the soldiers some rewards. I see that Renwu is so cold, and it is the most suitable to make cotton clothes. ”
Her voice was not loud or small, and she just looked at Shen Yu after she finished speaking, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Boss Xu's body leaning forward violently, and her ears were propped up.
"Lu Qianhu, do you think this is okay?" Shen Yu asked Lu Qianhu with a smile.
"Shen Gongzi has such a heart, I will thank Gongzi for Renwu's soldiers first." Lu Qianhu said with a smile: "It's just that the clothes in the military city are all uniformly made, whether it is cotton or cloth, they are all transported directly from the capital, and the order is to prepare things in the past and then transport them over, and then send them to the military camp to make clothes, even if it takes three months to rush again, the weather is already hot by then, Shen Gongzi has a heart, but he can only wait for winter to receive it."
