Xu Yu followed the shopkeeper to the table, and when he saw that there were only a few account books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and a delicate abacus, he looked back at the shopkeeper suspiciously.

After the shopkeeper entered the house, he secretly closed the small door, and when he saw Xu Promise looking back at him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Girl, I'll start writing, you wait a while." ”

Xu Promise nodded, and listened to the shopkeeper stretch out his hand behind Xu Promise, and said with a smile: "Girl, where can you sit for a while!" ”

"Okay!" Xu promised with a smile at the shopkeeper.

At this time, the young man hurried to the gate of the Jin Palace, and said the promise to the little guy at the door, the little guy was stunned for a while, turned around and walked into the courtyard, because Li Zhi and Ping Wei were not in the house, so he found the boss of the twelve guards and said a few words to the boss.

The boss greeted a few guards and walked to the gate of the palace, looked at the young man expressionlessly, and asked in a deep voice: "You said that someone was a royal gift to you, or a maid?" ”

"Yes, the official master, the little shopkeeper said that it might be the maid that King Jin found a few days ago, so let the little one report it." The young man said.

"Got it, let's go, let's go to the Wang family first and inform His Highness." The boss said to the guards behind him, and followed the young man to Suzaku Street.

After a while, the boss of the guard led people to the gate of the Wang family, said to the little maid who guarded the door of the Wang family, and watched the little guy run in quickly, and a group of people stood quietly and neatly outside the gate of the Wang family.

After a while, Li Zhi led Ping Wei out, looked at the twelve bosses fighting in front of the door, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

The boss bent down and replied: "Back to Your Highness, this is the pawnshop guy, he said that the stealing maid that our house was looking for some time ago went to him as a thing." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, thought of the promise to continue to ask for rewards in the past few days, and said casually: "Let's go!" Check it out. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The boss of the Twelve Guards replied, then followed behind Ping Wei, and followed Li Zhi towards Suzaku Street.

After a pillar of incense, Li Zhi was introduced into the pawnshop by the young man, Li Zhi looked at the empty room, and turned his head to look at the young man suspiciously.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the person must still be there, the shopkeeper, Your Highness is here, the shopkeeper." The young man explained to Li Zhi with a wry smile, turned his head and shouted loudly into the room.

At this time, Xu Xu, who was sitting on the chair, heard the shouting outside the door, suddenly startled, looked at the old shopkeeper in surprise, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned around and prepared to escape, Xu promised to run to the small door, opened the door for a long time, only to find that the door was locked, Xu Promise said angrily to the old shopkeeper: "Old man, it's not right for you to do this, I am a thing, you collect things, why do you still call people?" ”

"Huh! What you should be is not yours, but what you say is justified. The old shopkeeper looked at Xu Promise with disdain and said.

"Get up, I'll open the door and see if this thing is yours." As the old shopkeeper spoke, he walked towards the promise.

"Don't come here, this door can't be opened." Promise retreated to the door, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said.

"Humph! Open. The old shopkeeper walked up to the promise and pulled the promise away.

At this time, Li Zhi, who was outside the door, vaguely heard the voice of a promise, and was stunned for a long time and didn't see the door open, and said angrily to the guard: "Smash the door open!" ”

The boss saluted, then walked up to the small door, raised his foot and kicked it.

Puff –

"Oops!" The door fell in response, and with a painful sound, Li Zhi hurriedly walked in, looking at the promise standing not far away and covering his eyes, he was puzzled for a moment, and then he heard a voice next to his feet, and looked down to see the old shopkeeper covering his face for a while; Cover your head for a while; After a while, he covered his legs again. He kept muttering, "Oops! You are robbers! If His Royal Highness the King of Jin comes down, he will not spare you. ”

"Uncle, it's me who can't think about it, and you suffer from your old work." Li Zhi glanced at the promise, and hurriedly bent down and hugged the old shopkeeper and said.

"Ahh You are His Royal Highness the King of Jin! Oops! Great, I thought it was her accomplice! She almost slipped her mouth just now, and I heard a nine-character character, Your Highness, how bad your surname is nine. The old shopkeeper was supported by Li Zhi, got up slowly, and kept muttering.

"Hey, hey! Brother Jiu... Nine Highnesses. Xu Yu put down the hand covering his face, smiled bitterly and looked at Li Zhi helping the old shopkeeper, and shouted in a low voice.

Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the promise, helped the old shopkeeper to sit on the chair on the side, and said to the old shopkeeper: "Old man, this is a misunderstanding, this is the maid in my house, I asked her to be a thing." This girl carelessly took the wrong thing, and I asked her to take this. Li Zhi said and took out a jade bracelet from his arms and handed it to the old shopkeeper.

"Oh! Hi alas! I see! I heard a few days ago that Her Highness had lost something in her mansion, and today I happened to meet her as a royal gift. Alas! The old shopkeeper took the jade bracelet handed to him by Li Zhi, and sighed and explained.

"Take a look at the shopkeeper, how much is this worth?" Li Zhi bent down and asked with a smile.

"I'll take a look." The old shopkeeper got up and walked to the counter, picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it, and was stunned for a while and said, "This is a good thing!" Does Your Highness really want to be? ”

"When." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay, Your Highness, you are a high-grade jadeite, I'll give you a thousand taels, how about it?" The old shopkeeper said seriously.

"Okay, just give it as you say!" Li Zhi smiled and replied.

After a while, Xu Yu looked at the old shopkeeper, and took out ten silver tickets of one hundred taels from the cabinet and handed them to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took the silver ticket, put it in his arms, glanced at the promise, turned around and walked out of the shopkeeper's room, and said to Ping Wei: "Help the old man fix the door." ”

Xu Yu looked at the old shopkeeper, looked at the old shopkeeper's face was blue, smiled bitterly at the old shopkeeper, raised his feet and walked out, following Li Zhi's footsteps.

"Brother Jiu, didn't you go to the Wang family to attend the banquet? How did you come here? Xu Yu followed Li Zhi's side, tilted his head and looked at Li Zhi and asked softly.

Li Zhi turned his head and glanced at the promise, ignored the promise, continued to look ahead, and walked towards Jinhua Lane.

After a while, Li Zhi and his entourage passed through Jinhua Lane and came to the gate of King Jin's Mansion in Yujin Lane.

Xu Yu obediently followed behind Li Zhi, and slowly walked into the Jin Palace, and Li Zhi walked towards his study.

After a while, as soon as Xu Yu followed Li Zhi into the study, he heard Li Zhi turn his back to her and say, "Pingwei, give her the clothes I changed yesterday and let her wash them, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish washing." ”

"Brother Jiu, I, I deserve what you gave me." Xu Promise walked up to Li Zhi in surprise, looked up at Li Zhi and explained.

"Yes! But that's what my father rewarded me! Li Zhi looked down at the promise and said fiercely.

Xu Yu snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of Li Zhi's study, stood outside the door and was stunned for a while, looked back to see that Ping Wei had not come out, and shouted loudly: "Ping Wei, don't you hurry up, don't you see your Royal Highness angry!" Before the promise was finished, he heard the footsteps of Ping Wei coming out.

Xu Promise walked in front of Ping Wei angrily, walked towards the backyard where he was washing clothes, and after walking for a while, he heard Ping Wei behind him say to Xu Promise: "Miss Xu, Your Highness, he is angry because of that jade bracelet, that's, that's what he won yesterday from Qin Gongzi." ”

"What you win is what you win, he is willing to do it properly, why is he so angry." Promise said angrily.

"Girl, Your Highness is going to give it to you, he said that he saw that other girls were carrying a lot of bracelets, and you didn't have anything, so he thought about giving it to you." Ping Wei followed behind Xu Promise and whispered.

When Xu Yu heard Pingwei's words, he stopped instantly, turned around and looked straight at Pingwei, and asked in disbelief, "What you said is true?" ”

"Got it." Xu Yu looked at Ping Wei and nodded seriously, said casually, turned around and continued to walk towards the backyard.

After a while, Xu Promise came to the backyard and watched two or three old women washing clothes, sitting together washing clothes and chatting, Xu Promise looked around, and found a stool to sit down.

Ping Wei looked at the promise of sitting down, pouted helplessly, walked up to the old lady and said, "Your Highness's clothes, let her wash them today!" Wash other people's things. ”

The three old ladies looked up at Ping Wei, then turned their heads to look at Xu Wei with strange eyes.

After a while, an old woman was the first to get up, bent down and picked up the clothes she was washing, walked quickly to Xu Promise, put it at Xu Promise's feet, and said to Xu Promise: "Girl, this is His Highness's clothes, you can wash it!" ”

"Thank you." Xu Promise smiled at the old woman and said.

Xu Promise looked at the old grandmother and smiled at her, turned around and walked back, Xu Promise looked down at the wooden basin in front of him, reached out and poked the clothes in the wooden basin, and carefully pinched it with his hand a few times, looked around helplessly, and saw the three grandmothers looking at her in surprise, and Ping Wei also looked at himself with a bitter face.

Xu Promise smiled at them and whispered, "That, I haven't washed it." Can you teach me? ”

The three grandmothers listened to the promise, and the three looked at each other, bowed their heads and washed their clothes, and no one paid attention to the promise.

Xu Yue watched the three of them ignore her, she looked at Ping Wei with a wry smile, and saw Ping Wei shaking his head quickly and running away quickly.

Xu Promise sighed helplessly, glanced at the three grandmothers, looked at the old grandmother washing clothes, slowly tried to wash it, and then took a look at the old grandmother washing clothes, washed it herself, and slowly learned to wash it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Promise stood up with a sore back, rubbed his sore neck, followed the old woman's way of twisting her clothes, slowly twisted herself a few times, and then walked to the hanger with her wet clothes, raised her hand to throw the clothes on the hanger, and then flattened the clothes, walked to the stool where the clothes were washed and sat down, staring intently at the clothes she had washed.
