Chapter 028: The Thief

Feng's bean flower is worthy of its name, and it is really even more delicious than that in Huishanlou, and Mengbao ate two bowls in one go.

The things she liked were recognized, and Xi'er also felt happy, so she continued to go shopping with Mengbao, and didn't forget to quietly tell Que'er not to talk nonsense in front of the old lady when she went back.

Que'er has always been a greedy and delicious person, and she followed Mengbao all the way down to eat a lot of good things, and at this moment she took Xi'er's hand and nodded with a smile: "My good sister, do you think I'm the one who has no eyesight?" The young lady treats us well, how could I not know? Don't worry, as long as the old lady doesn't ask, I will never talk nonsense! ”

Xi'er glanced at her with disgust: "What if the old lady asks?" ”

"I heard that there are also good silk villages in the vicinity, and although the material of the cloth is not as good as that of Yunnifang, the style is very good. If the old lady asked, I would say that the young lady happened to be passing by here, so she stopped by to see if there were any suitable clothes and materials. As long as she said that she was picking clothes and materials for the prince, the old lady would not be angry. ”

"It's pretty much the same, and it's not in vain that the young lady bought you so many delicious things today."

Que'er's face was slightly red: "What my sister said is as if the young lady only bought it for me and didn't buy it for you, obviously you have eaten it all." ”

"I don't know how you can eat so much, didn't you see that Miss was shocked by you just now?"

"Huh? Is it? ”

Magpie was startled, and she was honestly afraid.

Xi'er smiled playfully: "Teasing you, look at what scares you." ”

"Oh, where are you so scary!"

The two little maids laughed in a low voice, and Mother Zhao, who was walking in front with Mengbao, kept her ears pricked up to listen to the movement behind her, and finally relaxed a little at this moment, revealing a smile.

She lived in Zhuangzi for half a year and did not come back, and although the young lady was sick, she gradually learned how to buy people's hearts, which is really a good thing.

Mengbao looked at the hairpin on a stall ignorantly, and picked up a simple and simple bamboo hairpin: "Mother Zhao, is this good-looking?" ”

………………………………

A few people stopped and walked for half an hour, buying a few beaded flowers, a few hairpins, and two pieces of fabric.

Mengbao was a little unsatisfied, and looked down at the clay dolls on a stall on the street.

The coachman drove the car from a distance behind, the magpie looked at the beads in another stall, and Zhao's mother explained to her on the left side of Mengbao the auspicious meaning represented by various clay dolls, and the red note was listening to it on the right side.

Mengbao wasn't really interested in this mud doll, and the place where his eyes were really aimed at was a money bank not far away.

There was a sudden hungry sound behind her, she thought it was a magpie behind, and turned around and laughed: "Are you still hungry after eating so much?" You ......"

The young man standing behind her was stunned, and the hand that reached out to her purse did not have time to retract, still clutching onto her purse.

"Oops! Where did the thief come from! ”

Mother Zhao was startled, and pulled Mengbao behind her to protect her.

The red note came back to her senses and protected her side.

The magpie heard the movement and panicked even more, and hurriedly ran over in two steps.

The coachman in the distance hurriedly threw down the car and ran in this direction when the young man stretched out his hand, and at this moment he also protected several of their women, one protected them, and the other shouted loudly and twisted the young man to report to the officer.

The stall was already on the edge of the West Market, and there weren't many people around, but there were still some people who were attracted attention and came around to point their fingers.

The young man's face was yellow and thin, his clothes were ragged, and his dirty face could not be seen as his true face, and at this moment he was twisted by the coachman's arms, and he didn't know how to struggle at all, but hung his head indifferently and didn't say a word.

Mengbao looked at him in a daze, from the initial panic to the gradual loss of consciousness.

The young man's untwisted hand was clenched tightly, and the joints were white. Although the head was lowered, you could see that the facial muscles were tightly tensed, as if they were trying to endure something.

The surrounding crowd was talking, and Zhao's mother was shocked and angry and asked the coachman to arrest the thief and take him to the official.

The coachman twisted the young man's hand with all his might, dragging him towards the government.

"You're the first time you've done anything like this, right?"

A woman's question came, very softly, but it made everyone quiet in an instant.

The young man also raised his head, looked at her smooth and bright face, and lowered his head again, but nodded with difficulty before speaking.

"Forget it, Mother Zhao, I think he's also hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have done this kind of thing."

"How's that going to work? Young lady, this kind of little thief has one and two, if you let him go this time, he will steal it next time! ”

Mengbao shook his head: "There will be two, and if there is no one...... Maybe not in the future. ”

"This ......"

"Go and give him the box from the wagon, I see he is starving. Give him the two taels of silver in the purse, anyway...... Mine also came for nothing. ”

"Young lady, you ......"

"Do as I say."

She interrupted again, in an unmistakable tone.

Mother Zhao sighed, so she had to ask someone to take the box, and then took out the two taels of silver from the purse that was almost stolen and put it on the box, and handed it to the young man.

The boy obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he didn't reach out to take it in a daze, just looked at the box and the silver in a daze.

The red note angrily threw the box into the young man's arms, and the young man subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then caught it steadily.

Meng Bao turned to leave, and the people around him also hurriedly followed, for fear of encountering such a thing again.

"The young lady is too kind-hearted, and she let it go so lightly." Mother Zhao frowned.

Meng Bao shook his head with a wry smile, muttering as if he was talking to himself: "Maybe one day I will become like this, be kind to others, just accumulate virtue." ”

She doesn't think she's a kind-hearted person, and she used to see beggars on the road in modern times, but she hasn't been so kind as she is today. To put it bluntly, it was not because he and others thought of himself that he would inexplicably give the young man silver taels and food.

Mother Zhao was dissatisfied with her being so arrogant, and her tone couldn't help but be a little harsh, and she lowered her voice and said: "Your dignified daughter of the Marquis of Yuanzhen, the young lady of the Marquis of Dingnan, how could you be like that!" Don't talk like this nonsense again! Let someone with a heart listen to it and think that you are dissatisfied with your husband's family! ”

Mengbao sighed: "I didn't think about it so much, I just felt that feng shui took turns, and no one knew what they would encounter in the future, in case it ......"

She was shocked that she was speechless, and the feelings she showed were a little too much, so she hurriedly stopped talking, smiled, and shook Zhao's mother's arm: "You will be a good deed every day and do good deeds!" ”

Mother Zhao glanced at her with disgust: "You can't let this kind of evil act go when you do good deeds." ”

The red note on the side interjected with a hint of adoration at this time: "Young lady, how did you know that the thief was stealing for the first time?" ”

Meng Bao smiled: "If he had stolen before, he wouldn't have run away after I found out, but stood there stupidly and let someone catch him, which shows that this is the first time he has done this kind of thing, and he doesn't know what to do for a while." ”

The red note suddenly realized and nodded: "The young lady is so smart!" ”

Mengbao smiled lightly and hung his head silently, and the love in his eyes was a little low.

Although the clothes on the young man's body were shabby, the material was still good if he was carefully identified, and if he hadn't picked up this garment from elsewhere to wear, it would have been some special circumstance that would have led him to this point.

It was from this point that she thought of herself, and she thought that she might face such a dilemma in the future.

When she left the Dingnan Hou Mansion, it would be okay if she could take some of her belongings with her, but if she couldn't take them away......

Forget it, it's useless to think about it now, it's important to seize the time and carefully plan the things in front of you, so that you can have a better time in the future.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and the young man held the box in his hand, looking at the woman who stepped into the carriage and gradually moved away, until his stomach made another gurgling sound before he came back to his senses, and devoured the snacks in the box.

………………………………

Because of the farce just now, Zhao's mother and the others didn't dare to let Mengbao wander around in the West Market, but took her directly to Duobao Street.

Mengbaoqing was a little depressed, and he had just been shopping in the West Market for a long time, so he had no enthusiasm for Duobao Street, so he selected two pieces of fabric in Yunnifang, and randomly selected a few colors of materials to order a few ready-to-wear clothes for himself, and then got up and left.

The shopkeeper sent her out with a smile, turned around and went in to find Mrs. Chen.

"Last time you went to Dingnanhou Mansion and said that you made clothes for that young lady?"

"Yes, a total of eight bodies, four spring clothes and four summer clothes, what's wrong?"

The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully: "The young lady has just come again, and she chose two horses and ordered a few clothes, which she made for herself." ”

"How so? How long has it been? I'm afraid she hasn't finished wearing her clothes yet. ”

The shopkeeper sighed a few times: "This Dingnanhou Mansion is going to change the sky, I'm afraid that the person in charge of the inner house will change in the future." ”

"You mean ......"

Mrs. Chen wanted to speak and stopped, and the shopkeeper smiled happily to herself: "It's okay, since the Li family became the owner, I haven't ordered a few clothes in our Yunni Fang, I think this young lady is generous, not bad, not bad." You can do her clothes well, don't be sloppy! ”

"Look at what you said, it looks like you used to be sloppy." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

The shopkeeper was happy, and he didn't say anything more, but turned and left.

Mengbao, who walked out of Yunnifang, encountered another incident at this time, their carriage had just turned into an alley, and they heard a sudden movement from the carriage sitting on the red note and others behind them before they had time to turn in.

First there was a neighing of the horses, followed by a few exclamations and the sound of the wheels grunting violently.

Not good! Shocked!

"Catch up and take a look!"

Mengbao hurriedly lifted the curtain and said to the coachman.

"But young lady, you ......"

"Go! Human life matters! ”

The coachman was shocked when he heard this, jumped out of the car without saying a word, and hurried out of the alley.

Mengbao is in a hurry, not far from the street outside is the downtown area, there are stalls everywhere, the horses must not run fast, but it is very easy to hurt passers-by and the red notes in the car under the panic.

Mother Zhao was also anxious in her heart, but she still calmly held Mengbao's hand and comforted her softly.

"Mengbao."

Suddenly there was a soft call from outside the car, and the voice was extremely gentle, as if it contained reluctant affection.

Mengbao was startled and slammed the curtain open.

The person standing outside the car was none other than the scumbag Su Mengbao had been thinking about before.
