031: Remuneration

"The girl knows me?" Seeing the look of surprise on Shen Niannian's face, Ling Moyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

Shen Niannian was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was impossible for this busy person to remember that she was such a rural village woman now, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile, "Some time ago, I saw Gongzi once when I was in the town, and Niannian would like to thank you for saving me at that time, otherwise I would definitely fall down." ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned sideways and spread her right hand towards the house, "Please come in and sit down, it's cold outside, you can go into the house to keep warm temporarily." ”

Ling Moyuan stared at the slightly scary scar on her face, but he remembered that there was indeed such an incident a while ago, so he was not polite, just bowed his hand slightly, and entered the courtyard with Du Shengnian.

The other officers and soldiers who accompanied them also entered the house.

Shen Xiuniang, who heard the movement, came out and saw this scene, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare some hot water and brought it over.

At this time, Wang Sanniang and Li Zheng also arrived at the Shen family, and they were courteously talking to Du Shengnian and Ling Moyuan.

Shen Niannian was driven to bring water to the soldiers.

There weren't many soldiers, only seven or eight, so it didn't take much time.

invited people into the hall one by one, Wang Sanniang was not reluctant at all, and burned the brazier vigorously enough.

"Thank you for taking care of a few people these days, Du is grateful, this is a small gift brought by the trustee, and I ask a few people to accept it."

Du Shengnian is a transparent person, why don't you know what is the idea of being so attentive to him here?

However, this personal debt is the most difficult thing to repay, and if it can be settled with silver, it is very suitable for him.

Although they were moved by the silver that was bulging in the bag, they didn't care about this, so they just smiled and said, "Du Gongzi is polite, saving you is just a gesture, how can I ask for your silver." ”

Wang Sanniang looked at the silver, her eyes were red with excitement, but she knew that the owner had other plans, so she could only retract her eager gaze unwillingly.

Ling Moyuan took in the expressions of the two, and the corners of his lips hooked up a trace of cold and mocking arc, where could he see the couple's intentions, so he just said coldly, "If there is any request from Li Zheng, we can put it forward, if we can help, we should do our best." ”

Li Zheng saw that this master was not a patient master, hesitated slightly, and said with a dry smile, "I can't hide it, Xiao Lao'er does have one thing that I hope my son can help." ”

Du Shengnian raised his eyebrows, no wonder this person was so attentive to him, it turned out that he had something to ask for.

But these days, the Li Zheng family does take good care of him, and if it's a trivial matter, it's okay to help.

"There's something to say directly, you're welcome."

"That's right, a while ago, Xiao Lao'er's eldest son offended an official in the town, and now he is being locked up in prison, and the old man's son is completely wronged, but there is no way to ask for help, and the official has been locked up and refused to let people out, so Xiao Lao'er wants to ask the two sons to help rescue my poor son."

Speaking of this, both Li Zheng and his wife were worried for a while, although they knew that their son should not be worried about his life, but it was freezing this day, and he was locked in that cold cell, what should he do if he got sick?

Li Jiaheng on the side didn't know that something had happened to his eldest brother who was doing business in the town, and he immediately panicked when he heard it, "Dad, what's going on, what's going on with the eldest brother?" How can you be locked up? ”

He Li Jiaheng is a showman, even in the county, those people will give him two points of thin noodles.

But now someone has moved his eldest brother, obviously he just doesn't look at him in his eyes, but his father and mother have been hiding this matter, it seems that the other party is really difficult to deal with.

The person who was admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, whether it was an official or those businessmen, did not want to offend, so who arrested his eldest brother.

When Wang Sanniang mentioned this, she couldn't help but shed tears, and said for a while before everyone understood what was going on.

Li Jiaheng's eldest brother Li Jiaqi is a small business in the town, selling the Li family's ancestral secret recipes, and the taste is also well-known in the border town, and the merchants who come and go are also willing to go to him to pack some food to take away, so the business is booming.

It's just that there is a member living in the town, surnamed He, who fell in love with the secret recipe of the Li family, so he framed him and arrested Li Zheng's eldest son, even if Li Zheng had given the secret recipe, the other party was unwilling to let him go, and still stubbornly believed that the Li family must have other recipes, so he kept Li Jiaqi behind.

Originally, Li Zheng had been anxious about his eldest son's affairs during this time, but he didn't expect that Shen Niannian would save Du Shengnian.

If ordinary soldiers were rescued, they might not be able to do anything about this matter, but they came that day, and after seeing Du Shengnian's waist card, they immediately recognized that this was the big red man in front of His Royal Highness King Ling.

This entire border is King Ling's territory, and if the big celebrities around King Ling are willing to help, then it will only be a trivial matter, so during this time, they are so attentive to Du Shengnian, just to be able to help and help the day when Du Shengnian is injured and leaves.

After understanding the whole story of this matter and making sure that it was indeed a trivial matter, Du Shengnian nodded and said, "If this matter is really as you said, then Du Mou's help is just a gesture, Li Zheng can rest assured, we will go to the town for a walk later." ”

When Li Zheng and his wife heard this, they immediately cried with joy, looking at the expression of the great benefactor, and they were very grateful to Du Shengnian.

And Du Shengnian doesn't think that the couple here is too scheming, after all, no one has the need to unconditionally please someone.

After solving the problem of Li Zheng and his wife, Du Shengnian's eyes were on the Shen mother and daughter again, looking at Shen Niannian's stunned appearance, he smiled and said, "Miss Shen, if you hadn't saved me that night, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death. ”

Shen Niannian clenched his fists, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

She wanted to ask for the silver directly, but even if she wanted to come over, it was estimated that she would be taken away by Shen Xiuniang, so it was of no great use, so after thinking about it, she said, "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I am just accumulating virtue for myself, Du Gongzi does not have to be polite, if you really want to thank me, why don't you send me to the town later, and then send someone to send me back?" ”

Her request was strange, and Wang Sanniang secretly scolded her for being a stupid girl, what are you doing in town? It's better to ask for silver!

Shen Xiuniang also glanced at her daughter quite strangely.

If it weren't for the fact that this girl was still so ugly, she really thought that someone was fake.

Thinking of the changes in Shen Niannian during this time, although Shen Xiuniang was strange, she still didn't think of this resurrection of the corpse, but she was slightly uneasy in her heart, and faintly comforted herself, probably because she left the Liu family and came back from the palace of the king of Hades, and this temperament changed greatly.

"Niannian, what are you doing in town?"

Shen Xiuniang secretly pulled down her sleeve and muttered in her ear.

"Mother, we don't have much to eat at home, and there is not much white noodles, so we have to go to the town to buy them? The eldest brother didn't say that the town was under martial law, I thought that it would not be safe for me to go to a girl's house, so it was better to let Du Gongzi send me there. Shen Niannian smiled, not hiding his thoughts at all, "Besides, haven't you embroidered some purses and soles with Su Niang these days?" It just so happened that I went to the town to sell it, and it looks like the New Year is coming, so we have to prepare something for the New Year! ”

Shen Xiuniang smiled dryly, but she blamed her a little in her heart.

If you want the silver, you can go directly to this Du Gongzi, or you can get it, after all, this person lives in her house!

Du Shengnian couldn't see what this Aunt Shen thought, and smiled, "Since Miss Shen has said so, then Du will send you there, it has not been peaceful outside recently, and Miss Shen's worries are also right." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the bag of silver into Shen Xiuniang's hand again, "But Du has nothing to repay for this life-saving grace, so he can only give some silver to express his gratitude, and please don't dislike it." ”

Feeling that the weight of the silver in her hand was not light, let alone fifty taels of silver, Shen Xiuniang's face immediately smiled, "Look at your politeness, Du Gongzi." ”

Although he said polite words in his mouth, he took it without vagueness in his hand.

Seeing this, Ling Moyuan frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of impatience, "Since you are going to the town, let's leave now, it's not too early." ”

When Shen Niannian heard this, she hurriedly nodded, pushed Shen Xiuniang's arm, and said with a smile, "That mother, you take out the things you made first, and then give me some silver, and then I'll buy some things and come back." ”

Shen Xiuniang, who had just received fifty taels of silver, was also very generous, gave her two taels of broken silver, and hurried to her room.

Shen Niannian was embarrassed to wait and said to this General Ling, "General Ling, please wait a moment, I will also go to that thing." ”

With that, she hurried to her room, hid the twenty purses hidden under the bed, and then took a cloth bag and went out.

Shen Xiuniang took out all the things that had been done during this time and put them all in the cloth bag, and then said with a sigh of relief, "These will go to the store where I took you to buy clothes last time, and a purse will cost at least five yuan, don't be fooled by the boss." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Wrapping up everything, Shen Niannian held it in his hand, Ling Moyuan and the others were already waiting outside at this time, and Shen Niannian hurriedly followed.

"Miss Shen, can you ride a horse?"

Ling Yuanmo came on horseback, and when they came, they prepared a carriage, but Du Shengnian's injuries were not good, if Shen Niannian was allowed to get into the carriage as well, the impact of this lonely man and widow would not be very good.

Shen Niannian was stunned for a moment, looked at the tall horse, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he reached it without thinking, "I will!" ”
