Chapter 139: Save Her
All Zhao Canniang remembers now is to hurry.
The first snowflakes of winter are quietly falling.
At this time, the groom smiled at Zhao Canniang and said, "Miss, it's snowing." ”
When Zhao Canniang heard this, she hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked outside.
A snow-white snowflake fell in the sky. Zhao Canniang stretched out her hand and continued to fall snowflakes.
As soon as the snowflake touched the temperature, it immediately turned into a small droplet.
Zhao Canniang was in a good mood, and said to the groom: "Arrive in Baiyun County before the heavy snowfall, and I will add money to you when the time comes." ”
As soon as the groom heard the increase, he immediately raised his whip, and the horse ran quickly forward.
It is also snowing in Baiyun County at the moment.
Qin stood at the door of the restaurant and looked at the sky, and he really missed Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng in his heart.
"I don't know if the two children are good!" Qin muttered to himself.
Aunt Liao came out of the store at this time, and happened to hear this sentence, so she said with a smile: "The two children must be good, you don't have to worry about it every day, Canniang and Qingfeng are both sensible, and they will definitely not do anything that worries you." ”
At this time, lunch has just passed, and the people in the restaurant are resting.
Qin sighed helplessly and said, "Hey! I still can't help but worry about the two children, and this Canniang doesn't know when she will come back. ”
Qin received a letter from Zhao Qingfeng when the Yucheng restaurant opened, and now it has been almost two months, Zhao Canniang only said that he would come back, but did not say when he would come back, Qin was not worried or in a hurry.
Aunt Liao looked at the sky outside: "It's time to come back before it snows!" The road after the heavy snow is not easy to walk, and at that time, even Qingfeng is afraid that he will not let Channiang come back. ”
Qin looked in the direction of the city gate.
"I hope Canniang can come back soon, and I haven't felt anything when I'm at home. As soon as this Channiang and Qingfeng left, my heart felt like an empty piece, uncomfortable! ”
The two were talking. Qin Zhong hurriedly walked into the store.
"Brother, why are you here?" There was some surprise in Qin's tone, Qin Zhong's spice shop was doing very well. Recently also hired people.
Qin Zhong held the letter in his hand and said to the Qin family: "I received a letter from Canniang, saying that I will be home tomorrow, so you don't have to worry." ”
When Qin Shi heard this, his face was full of joy: "I was just talking about this girl, and I received her letter, and it will be good to come back tomorrow!" ”
Qin was overjoyed.
Qin Zhong and Aunt Liao were in a good mood at the moment.
Aunt Liao smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry!" Channiang will be back tomorrow. ”
Qin shook his head: "Don't worry, just come back tomorrow, brother, don't you have any problems with the business in the store like this?" ”
"No problem, you don't have to worry. But I can't delay too long, so I'll go back first, and I'll come to you tomorrow night, and I'll have a drink of wine and food. ”
After saying that, Qin Zhong left with a smile, in fact, she was also very worried about Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng, and now that she was going to come back, she was naturally happy in her heart.
The Qin family is in a better mood and is doing things faster.
At noon, Zhao Canniang rushed to the town where she rested for the first time, that is, the restaurant of Zhao Bingniang's house.
The town. There are not many restaurants to choose from, Zhao Canniang is a more nostalgic person, it should be said that he doesn't like to change at will, so it's time to take a break at noon. Choose this restaurant directly.
The business of the restaurant is similar to the last time, this time it is a meal, but the business inside is very light. The business here is in stark contrast to the restaurant next door, and Zhao Canniang doesn't know if she has a schadenfreude mentality. Finally walked in here, anyway, she just didn't want to go to the restaurant with a good business.
As soon as you enter the door. A chubby man walked up enthusiastically: "Miss, please." ”
Along the way, Zhao Canniang took the groom to eat together, and did not treat the groom as an outsider.
Zhao Canniang didn't say anything, walked directly into the room, and sat at a table next to her.
"Boss, just serve me a few simple dishes." At this time today, I had to rest in the town for one night, because from the town to Baiyun County, there was no place to settle down again.
When the boss heard Zhao Canniang say this, he immediately turned around and went to the back hall.
The groom glanced left and right, and then said: "I also pulled people to Baiyun County before, it was a few years ago, at that time, the business of this restaurant was very good, but now ......, I didn't expect the business to be like this." ”
The groom's tone was full of sighs.
As if it was a pity, such an idea came out of Zhao Canniang's head, and Zhao Canniang immediately suppressed such an idea.
Zhao Canniang also carefully observed this restaurant, naturally the decoration inside cannot be compared with a big restaurant such as Tianxiang Restaurant, but in such a small town, there is a restaurant of such a scale, which is rare.
"After dinner, we will have a good rest, and when we are rested, we will leave early tomorrow." Zhao Canniang said to the groom.
Ma Fu nodded, he didn't have any opinions, as long as Zhao Canniang added money, he could do anything.
Snowflakes were still falling in the sky outside, the ground was already a little slippery, and there were fewer people on the streets.
In a short time, the fat shopkeeper walked out, followed by a woman with her head down.
The back of the woman's hand was covered with bruises, and the woman lowered her head as if she was embarrassed to raise her head.
"Miss, your dish!" As soon as Zhao Canniang heard the voice, it was Zhao Bingniang's, and she immediately raised her head in surprise, but Zhao Canniang was directly startled when she saw it.
Half of Zhao Bingniang's face was all black.
Even though Zhao Canniang didn't like Zhao Bingniang, she was also angry when she saw such a scene.
What she hates the most is that men beat women, and Zhao Canniang suddenly became in a bad mood.
Stretching out her hand, Zhao Canniang grabbed Zhao Bingniang's wrist.
The sudden move made Zhao Bingniang like a frightened rabbit, and she was terrified.
"You let me go." Zhao Bingniang mustered up the courage to raise her head. looked at Zhao Canniang, and it turned out to be a familiar face.
She didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Canniang just now. So I didn't know that it was Zhao Canniang who was sitting in front of me, and now Zhao Canniang grabbed her hand. She was a little scared.
"Channiang." Zhao Bingniang looked at Zhao Canniang in surprise, and then knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Canniang's legs: "Canniang save me, Canniang save me...... you take me away, I am willing to make you a cow and a horse." ”
Zhao Bingniang pleaded bitterly, her eyes were full of panic, and the beaten place on her face was very conspicuous.
The fat shopkeeper obviously didn't expect Zhao Bingniang to do this.
Immediately became angry.
"You, I told you not to raise your head, you still dare to raise your head, and now you dare to hold the guest's leg and you are looking for death." After speaking, the fat shopkeeper wanted to kick Zhao Bingniang's back.
Zhao Canniang saw this. grabbed the chopsticks on the table and smashed them into the fat shopkeeper's legs.
This time, Zhao Canniang used her strength.
The fat shopkeeper snorted, then withdrew his leg and took a step back.
It can be seen that the fat shopkeeper is very angry: "What is the guest officer doing, this is my family's housework...... ”
The fat shopkeeper didn't finish speaking, and Zhao Canniang interrupted the fat shopkeeper's words.
"I know this is your housework, but so what, I'm a little unscrupulous now, I don't think you seem to cherish this woman very much, it just so happens that I lack an aunt around me to take care of my life, I like this person. You make an offer! ”
Zhao Canniang's face was arrogant, Zhao Bingniang hugged her leg and said those words very loudly just now, and the fat shopkeeper's attention was not here at all just now, so Zhao Canniang concluded that Zhao Bingniang said to her just now. The fat shopkeeper didn't know.
The fat shopkeeper didn't expect Zhao Canniang to want to buy Zhao Bingniang, this is simply a pie in the sky, you must know that he is very short of silver. In the past, several concubines in the family, except for Zhao Bingniang, were all sent by him to other places and sold. Zhao Bingniang begged him not to let her leave, and he knew that Zhao Bingniang had a relative who opened a restaurant in Baiyun County. So the fat shopkeeper still felt that it was a little useful, so he stayed by his side, as long as the fat shopkeeper was in a bad mood, he would take Zhao Bingniang out of anger.
Zhao Canniang glanced at Zhao Bingniang, signaled Zhao Bingniang not to speak, and continued to ask: "Do you need to think about what I said, if you don't want to, forget it." ”
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he was busy with a flattering smile: "Miss don't!" What do I promise to do with just this silver? ”
Zhao Bingniang wanted to be angry, what she was most afraid of was being sold, but she didn't expect that this fat shopkeeper would really sell her.
Thinking of the previous kindness, and then looking at the current situation, Zhao Bingniang felt that this was like a joke.
I wanted to speak, but she didn't say it after enduring it many times, I don't know why she thought that Zhao Canniang would save her this time, Zhao Bingniang really wanted to escape, and she would be beaten by the fat shopkeeper every day here, not only that, but she also couldn't eat, and she lived in fear every day, because she didn't know when the fat shopkeeper would do something to her.
When Zhao Canniang signaled her not to speak, she closed her mouth and eyes very sensibly.
Zhao Canniang knew that this fat shopkeeper was a treacherous and cunning, so if she didn't answer positively, she just wanted to see her reaction.
Zhao Canniang looked at the fat shopkeeper with a smile and said: "Twenty taels of silver, this is the highest price, if you think you can sell it, I will buy it immediately, if you think the silver is not suitable, you don't have to bargain for me, just when I didn't say it." ”
Zhao Canniang said very simply, and the fat shopkeeper was shocked.
Twenty taels is not much, he sold several other concubines before for thirty taels, this Zhao Yuniang is actually quite pleasing usually, these twenty taels of men obviously feel that the fat shopkeeper thinks it is less.
"Can you add a little bit of silver?" The fat shopkeeper asked Zhao Canniang tentatively.
Zhao Canniang sat down without saying anything, Zhao Yuniang was very panicked at the moment, but she only obediently closed her mouth, she knew that Zhao Canniang said this, there must be a reason for Zhao Canniang.
The fat shopkeeper watched it for a long time after speaking, but Zhao Canniang didn't seem to hear it, so she asked the groom to go to the table next to her to get chopsticks and eat slowly.
The fat shopkeeper gritted his teeth, knowing that Zhao Canniang was not a person who could change his mind easily, so he had to nod and agree.
"Okay, I promise you, twenty taels will be twenty taels, and I will write you a deed of sale immediately, and Zhao Bingniang will be your person in the future, but we are still a little far from the yamen here. Only Miss Trouble went to the yamen to register the woman. ”
The fat shopkeeper's face did not show a trace of remembrance when he said these words.
Zhao Canniang saw the disappointment on Zhao Bingniang's face.
She actually felt very sorry for the twenty taels of silver. But when she thought of Zhao Bingniang's situation, she was still ruthless to herself. After all, human life is the most important thing, although Zhao Bingniang used to hate it, but now that she has encountered it, she really has no way to stand by.
"Well, you can write me the deed of sale now, and I'll give you the silver when it's written." Zhao Canniang finished speaking seriously, and the fat shopkeeper's eyes were full of surprise.
Zhao Canniang sighed in her heart, she didn't expect Zhao Bingniang to encounter such a scumbag, it was really hateful and hateful.
The fat shopkeeper moves quickly. In a few moments, the ink was ready, the paper was laid out, and the pen began to write.
Zhao Canniang saw the fat shopkeeper writing seriously, and smiled disdainfully.
Then he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his money bag.
"I have a silver ticket of one hundred taels here, you can find it!" What is left on Zhao Canniang's body is broken silver, which is enough for twenty taels.
Seeing this, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't find such a large denomination!" "He still has the money there, and he finds it.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, and said, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to figure out a way or not? ”
The fat shopkeeper was a little reluctant on his face: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to do it, but your denomination is too big." ”
If it had been before, the fat shopkeeper would not have such an embarrassment. But now he really doesn't have any money.
"Can't find it?" Zhao Canniang's face was obviously a little disbelieving, and then she said with a smile: "But the broken silver on my body is not enough!" Then what should I do, you can't let me go out and find someone to exchange for silver! Zhao Canniang's face was a little mocking.
The fat shopkeeper immediately waved his hand: "No, no, no, where am I embarrassed to trouble Miss, it's better for me to figure out a way by myself." ”
After speaking, the fat shopkeeper handed the contract to Zhao Canniang: "Miss, you can take me out first." Come back soon.? ”
After speaking, the fat shopkeeper took the one hundred taels of silver tickets given by Zhao Canniang and rushed out.
There is no business in the restaurant anyway, and the fat shopkeeper is not worried.
As soon as I saw the fat shopkeeper go out. Zhao Canniang said coldly to Zhao Bingniang, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Don't kneel!" ”
Zhao Bingniang stood up gratefully.
Twenty taels of silver, which is not a small amount. Zhao Canniang took it out like this for her.
"Canniang's twenty taels of silver are even if I borrow you, and I will definitely pay you back when I have the silver in the future." Zhao Bingniang said very seriously.
The groom on the side was already stunned. He didn't expect to see such a wonderful show.
"Let's not talk about the silver for the time being, tell me why you ended up so miserable, does he often beat you?"
Zhao Canniang still remembers how beautiful Zhao Bingniang was when she came back last time, but now she has become like this, which is really embarrassing.
Zhao Bingniang sighed, her face full of disappointment and sadness.
"You also saw the business in this shop, he has sold several concubines who he married home before, he was also involved in gambling, I also begged him so that he was not sold, but I didn't expect my nightmare to come, he will beat me every day as long as he loses the silver and comes back, he will beat me when he is drunk, and he will beat me if the restaurant business is not good, I really can't stand to trouble you to save me today, I really want to thank you Canniang for today's things, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Zhao Bingniang regrets it in her heart now, and finally sees clearly who is good and who is not!
It's not that she didn't ask her mother's family for help, but when the Yue family and the Chu family saw that Zhao Bingniang had no use value, and there was no money, of course they refused to pay attention to it, and the Yue family also specially asked someone to write a letter, just to tell her to live a good life and not think nonsense.
Compared with the reaction of the family, Zhao Bingniang was surprised that Zhao Canniang really didn't seem to be willing to help her, she didn't know how moved she was.
Zhao Canniang sighed, ate two mouthfuls of food before saying, "You don't have to be polite, you will pay me back when you have the silver in the future." ”
Zhao Bingniang nodded gratefully: "Canniang, even if I become a cow and a horse, I will earn money to pay you back." ”
After lunch, Zhao Canniang didn't wait for the fat shopkeeper to come back, Zhao Bingniang on the side was obviously not surprised by this, and then said: "He probably went to the gambling house again, otherwise he would have come back at this time, Canniang, you wait patiently and I will help you find him." ”
Zhao Bingniang is obviously familiar with the living habits of fat men, but Zhao Canniang feels that it is not necessary.
"No need to go, I'll wait a while." Zhao Canniang has time.
The groom was too tired, so he went back to the inn to rest.
The people eating in the store have all left, and the only ones are Zhao Canniang and Zhao Bingniang waiting patiently.
About an hour later, the fat shopkeeper walked back with a disappointed face.
Seeing the fat shopkeeper's decadent and unwilling look, Zhao Canniang already understood that she was afraid that the fat shopkeeper had lost all the money.
"Where is the treasurer's money?" Zhao Canniang reminded.
As soon as he heard the word silver, the fat shopkeeper's face was full of disappointment.
"I lost the silver, you can take everything in this shop, Miss...... The fat shopkeeper glanced at the restaurant reluctantly.
Zhao Canniang suddenly became angry: "Shopkeeper, you are teasing me!" What do I want from your store? It is useless to take it, I want my silver, and I want eighty taels of silver now. ”
Zhao Canniang looked at the fat shopkeeper with some anger.
The fat shopkeeper was shocked, and suddenly felt that his brain was much clearer.
"The things in this restaurant are also very valuable, I will give you all if you want them." The fat shopkeeper looked reluctant.
The ridicule on Zhao Canniang's face became more and more severe: "What do I want you to do with these wastes?" (To be continued......)
