Chapter 173: Encountering Someone Unladylike
"Brother Youshu married my sister because of my father's promise, or did he marry her because he liked my sister."
Ran Ran stopped Lin Youshu in one sentence. She stood on the steps, just staring at Lin Youshu, she lowered her eyes, held her breath and waited for Lin Youshu's answer.
Although it was just a soft sentence, it could pierce Lin Youshu's heart more than any words, he thought that he had never failed Chunxiao, but now he was being questioned, and he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?"
"Please answer positively!"
Ran Ran didn't intend to give him a perfunctory opportunity, and asked again, Lin Youshu smiled bitterly: "Both." ”
This answer did not satisfy Ranran, who looked at him from head to toe and said sarcastically: "In that case, you should not only respect her and love her, but at least you must clean yourself for her." ”
Lin Youshu was furious, and he checked his clothes weakly, his eyes fell on the wine stain on his left arm, and he subconsciously raised his head sharply, colliding with Ranran's disdain. Lin Youshu finally understood what Ran Ran meant, and immediately blushed with anxiety, "Sister, where do you want to go!" ”
Ran Ran got straight to the point, and had already spurned Lin Youshu in her heart, "You know where to go, I just want to ask you, have you ever done anything to be sorry for my sister." ”
"Nope!" Lin Youshu raised his face and cut the railway.
"Really?" Now it was Ranran's turn to be dumbfounded.
"I can swear to God!" He raised his palms and put on a serious and awe-inspiring face, "If I, Lin Youshu, lose one point of Chunxiao, I will be called five thunderbolts, and I will not die!" ”
Although this poisonous oath didn't mean anything to Ranran, Lin Youshu's decisive and resolute attitude made her hesitate a little, could there be another hidden secret. She softened her indifferent attitude just now, and whispered suspiciously: "Then where did the smell of fat powder on your body come from?" ”
At this point, Lin Youshu also felt that he could no longer hide it, and the depression that had accumulated for many days finally found someone to talk to. He quickly relented. "Eh, I won't tell you anything, I've been cheated this time. He lied to me and said that he had found an errand for me, and he borrowed ten taels of silver from me. I didn't think much of it, but I believed him. Results ......"
Ran Ran's eyes straightened when she heard this, but she didn't expect Lin Youshu to go to sleep in the willows, "You were betrayed?" ”
Lin Youshu didn't know what Ran Ran was thinking, but smiled bitterly to himself: "He owes the money to the flower building." Now trick me into working as a coolie for Hualou to pay off his debts. I wouldn't have been, but the bustard mother was just, simply...... Insulting Sven, she, she...... Anyway, I had to promise to keep doing it until I paid it back. ”
After pausing a few times in a row, Lin Youshu's white face rose like a pig's liver, even if he didn't say it, Ran Ran had already made up for him more than a hundred embarrassing ends.
Let Lin Youshu, a Xiucai who reads poetry and books, go to Hualou to work as a coolie, how strong his heart must be so that he is not ashamed to commit suicide. You can also return early and leave late every day.
Suddenly, Ran Ran understood why Lin Youshu refused to say anything to them, this kind of thing was really unspeakable, especially when he met people.
However, Ran Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, "How much do you owe?" ”
Lin Youshu said desperately: "One hundred and twenty taels." ”
frowned, this money is indeed a lot, even if Lin Youshu doesn't eat or drink, he has to do a good job of hard work for a long time. Ran Ran looked sideways at Lin Youshu's thin body, and couldn't imagine what kind of coolies he could do without the power to restrain the chicken.
"How much does the bustard mother count you in a month?" Ranran pursed her lips. I want to find a solution for him.
Now that it has been said, Lin Youshu simply broke the jar and broke it, and told Ran Ran all about it. "Say it's eight taels, if there are guests to tip. It can be divided into half. ”
Ran Ran couldn't help but let out a sneer: "Hehe, that's not even as good as being a duck." ”
Thinking that she hangs on her in Mingzhu Pavilion every day, and has an income of dozens of taels every month, Lin Youshu is not even as good as a fraction of her.
If it weren't for his family, he would have left long ago, "I know it's a shame to do this." But I can't go, if I don't go, they will come to the door, I'm afraid it will hurt you! ”
Ran Ran glanced at him, "Then aren't you going to bother us now?" When Lin Youshu heard this, he fell into self-blame and danger again, and said helplessly: "That's it, leave this matter to me, you just stay at home and don't go anywhere." ”
For some reason, hearing Ran Ran's words, Lin Youshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if instinctively believing that Ran Ran would definitely settle these things for him.
But when his reason came back, he realized that Ran Ran was just a little girl, even if she had the ability to reach the sky, could she still find more than a hundred taels. Those people are so fierce and vicious, even he can't resist it, and how can he settle it.
Thinking of this, Lin Youshu couldn't help but worry, "Sister, what do you want to do?" ”
Ran Ran was amused by Lin Youshu's inexplicable desire to protect, with his thin arms, he had the ability to blush when he said a few words in a hurry, no wonder he would be trapped in that kind of place. "You don't have to worry about what I do, anyway, you have to remember that I am for my sister, if you do something sorry for her in the future, I will never spare you."
In fact, Lin Youshu is not wrong, she really has no way, but it doesn't mean that she can't find someone who has a way. At the moment, it is most likely to help, and naturally it has to be Mingzhu Pavilion.
"Don't shopkeeper, I have something to ask for." I've never begged anyone, and Ran Ran is a little hard to say.
"Lady Ran, but it doesn't hurt to say it." It was rare to see Ran Ran like this, Shopkeeper Mo squinted with a smile, but when he saw her hand out the gold leaf, his smile suddenly disappeared, "What does Ran Ran's lady mean by this?" ”
Ran Ran insisted on putting the gold leaf in the hands of the shopkeeper Mo, "Because this matter is difficult for some strong people, it should be me asking Wan Shunzhuang." ”
Shopkeeper Mo knew the value of the gold leaf, and couldn't help but become serious, "Lady, please speak." ”
Ran Ran sighed lightly, "My brother-in-law was deceived into going to Hualou to work as a coolie, and now he is in debt of one hundred and twenty taels, I am afraid that even if the money is settled, they may not be willing to let go." So I want to trouble the shopkeeper Mo to come forward and help solve this matter. ”
Shopkeeper Mo couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect Ran Ran to use gold leaves to do this little thing, if Zhu Mingyun knew about it, he didn't know how angry he would be. You must know that the gold leaves of Wanshunzhuang are more expensive than ten thousand gold, and not everyone can get them.
However, since Jin Yezi asked for it, the shopkeeper Mo naturally would not refuse, "What should I do, don't worry, lady, it's only one hundred and twenty taels, I'll talk about it later." But your brother-in-law is really careless, how can he be tricked into going there. ”
Many years later, Ran Ran remembered that she actually used this hard-to-change gold leaf to help Lin Youshu, and almost didn't regret breaking her intestines.
But now she is only glad that the shopkeeper Mo is willing to help, and she does not forget to strike while the iron is hot, and ask for more favors by the way.
"It's unladylike to meet people, and, shopkeeper Mo, do you still lack a manpower here, Mr. Bookkeeper or something. My brother-in-law is a showman, and he often looks at people's accounts in the village, so if he can't do it, it's okay to let him run the hall. ”
Shopkeeper Mo sighed with emotion, "Your brother-in-law is really lucky to have a sister-in-law like you." ”
Afraid that Shopkeeper Mo would regret it, Ran Ran praised vigorously: "Shopkeeper Mo, don't make fun of me, I am also thinking about my sister, so I don't persuade her to leave." My sister and wife are good, and they are honest, but they are too stupid. ”
Shopkeeper Mo smiled, "Don't worry, let him come over tomorrow, I'll take a look." ”
"Then thank you to Shopkeeper Mo first." (To be continued.) )
