Jiangdu County, Xufu.

In the main hall, a woman in her forties sat on the chair, with a brocade body, a golden hairpin on her head, fair cheeks, and a touch of red on her lips.

"Madam, it's not good, the young master has been arrested!" A maid hurried in, panting and shouting.

The gentle woman slowly put down the tea bowl and turned her head to glance at the visitor, "How many times have I told you, every time you encounter a major event, you must be calm, what will it become?" Say slowly, what's the matter! ”

"Madam, just now I heard from the family in the house that the young master was arrested and imprisoned in the county jail!" The maid took a deep breath and repeated Fang Cai's words, her voice was crisp, but the speed of her speech was not slow.

"Hmm——?" The gentle woman looked at the maid in amazement, "It's strange! Doesn't that bastard boy get out of his father's name every time, and he tries again and again, why is he still in prison this time? ”

"There is a new county lieutenant in the county office, very young, I heard that he is deeply appreciated by the Lord Taishouwan, and he doesn't buy the master's account at all, and the young master and more than a dozen entourages have been arrested." The maid made some preparations before coming to report, and she had a general understanding of what happened.

The gentle woman sneered and took a sip of tea without hurrying, "It won't be because of which girl is harmed, right?" ”

The maid looked up and peeked at the lady's expression, and hummed softly.

The gentle woman sat on the table of the tea bowl and snorted heavily, "How many times have you told him, if you have time to study more at home and go out less to do evil, you just don't listen, if you really meet any villain, it will hurt him lightly, and it will be too late to regret it when you lose your life." "Sighing, "The lord is too, I don't see him discipline on weekdays, I only know arrogance, and I'm used to stinky problems." Now there is the lord's prestige and blessing, it seems to be beautiful, but the lord always has a day, who cares about you, the 'Sima Gongzi'......"

The maid knew that the lady began to complain about the master again, so she lowered her head silently, pretending not to hear.

The gentle woman complained for a while, and when she saw that the maid was silent, she stopped, and then thought of something, "The county lieutenant is not biased because of the master, he enforces the law impartially, and he is upright. ”

The maid glanced up, was silent for a while, and then stopped talking.

The gentle woman noticed the maid's reaction and wondered, "The master is not in the house?" ”

Hearing this, the maid nodded slightly.

Gentle woman: "Didn't you go to the water cloud room again?" "The voice is tepid, no sorrow or joy.

The maid hesitated for a moment, "Lifeng Fang! ”

The gentle woman sighed, "Hasn't the master always been to Shuiyunjian, hasn't Lifeng Fang been there for a long time?" Why is it going again, is it a new girl or a novelty? ”

The maid knew that it was inappropriate to discuss the master in private, but the lady asked, if she didn't answer, she was afraid that she would be blamed, and she was a little in a dilemma for a while.

The gentle woman's face was slightly gloomy, and her voice was a little colder, "What? Ineffable? ”

The maid's face changed, and the lady was gentle, but if she was angry, the master would have to be polite, not to mention those who were slaves.

looked around, and saw that no one was passing by, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "I heard that the water and clouds have not been very peaceful recently, and there are often people who run to make trouble, not to mention smashing things, and they will beat people whenever they meet, and many people are injured." Everyone was disinterested, and worried about their own safety, so they turned their heads and went to Lifeng Fang, and the master must have done the same. After speaking, he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Madame's face.

The gentle woman sneered, "If there is a father, there must be a son, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked!" Has the master been beaten? ”

The maid shook her head.

"His temperament of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he is only afraid that he will slip away at the slightest disturbance, and it is normal that he has not been beaten." The gentle woman pursed her lips with disdain.

For the master, the lady didn't want to say more, "By the way, why was the young master imprisoned?" ”

The maid was silent for a while, "I heard that I met a beautiful girl on the street, and I was going to order someone to 'please come back'." ”

As for her son's temperament, how could the gentle woman not know, "You don't have to hide it, now his courage is getting fatter and fatter, and he can do everything to rob the people's daughters!" Wait for him to come back and see how I clean him up! The voice was steady, but it was hard to hide the anger in it.

The maid reminded in a low voice: "The young master is still in the county jail now!" ”

The gentle woman waved her hand, "Don't pay attention to it, lock him up for a few days." No matter how much he teaches, I don't know what he will do in the future, so let him learn a lesson! "I look like I hate iron but not steel.

……

"Thank you for your righteous action, the little woman Liu Ruyun is grateful!"

After Yang Fuping led people away, the girl in the blue dress stepped forward and saluted, whispering softly.

Jiang Nan hurriedly raised his hand to help, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, why worry about it!" Xiao Cui also hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Ruyun up.

Liu Ruyun got up slowly, staring at Jiang Nan with bright eyes, and her cherry lips opened lightly, "If it weren't for the son, the little girl would only be afraid that her chastity would not be guaranteed!" "The voice is melodious and pleasant, like the cry of a yellow warbler.

Jiang Nan waved his hand to signal that there was no need to mention it again, raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, and swept around Liu Ruyun in confusion, frowning and saying: "The sky is getting dark, why is the girl wandering alone on the street?" ”

When Liu Ruyun heard this, her eyes turned red, and she was immediately covered with crystals, and sobbed, "The little woman was originally from Yuhang, and her family suddenly changed, and she came to Jiangdu to join her aunt, and she didn't want to meet bandits on the road, and several guards resisted desperately, so the little woman was able to get out, not to mention that the package was robbed, and the people who accompanied her were afraid that they would be more than lucky." When I arrived in Jiangdu today, I learned that my aunt's family had been wiped out not long ago...... "muttering, mourning like a cry, tears brushing down, like a pearl with a broken thread, wet the placket in a moment."

When Xiaocui and the others heard about Liu Ruyun's tragic experience, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, and Yao An even turned around and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Nan pursed his lips, "What are the girl's plans for the future?" ”

Liu Ruyun looked at the sky in a daze, and muttered: "The world is so big, but I don't know where to go, my body is like duckweed, drifting with the waves, where I drift, where is home!" ”

Xiao Cui tugged at Jiang Nan's cuffs and whispered, "Childe ......"

Jiang Nan's cheeks tightened, and he didn't say anything.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he is now living in someone else's house, although Yao Zhankui is good to himself, but if he rashly takes someone back, I'm afraid that something is wrong, and he hesitates for a while.

"Master, why don't you bring Sister Liu back to our house?" Yao An's red and swollen eyes stared at Jiang Nan and said loudly.

Xiao Wuzi is still young, he doesn't understand the twists and turns of adults, and he only feels that Liu Ruyun is pitiful, so he has a plan to take her in, but he can't be his father's master, Jiang Nan thought secretly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had an idea.

"Miss Liu, I have a restaurant in front, many guys live there at night, if you don't dislike it, you can live there for the time being, and it's not too late to leave when you find a suitable place."

Liu Ruyun froze, her bright eyes turned slightly, but she was a little hesitant.

Yao An looked at Jiang Nan in surprise, a little incomprehensible to the master's approach, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but held back.

It was Xiao Cui, frowning and thinking for a moment, understanding Jiang Nan's distress, secretly tugging Yao An's shirt and shaking his head slightly.

Liu Ruyun frowned and was entangled, "The little woman lives in a restaurant at night, guys ......"

Jiang Nan understood her worries and chuckled, "Miss Liu, don't worry, those guys are quite decent, and there won't be any misdeeds in the future." ”

When Liu Ruyun heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little relieved, "Thank you Gongzi for taking it in!" As he spoke, he bowed down to Jiangnan and said a thousand blessings.

Jiang Nan waved his hand, "It just so happens that we are about to go to the restaurant for dinner, let's go together, and I can introduce you to everyone." After saying that, something came to mind, "By the way, have you had dinner?" ”

Liu Ruyunqiao's face was slightly red, "The little woman hasn't eaten water for almost a day." After saying that, his stomach rumbled in protest.

……

"Childe, why did you have time to come here today?"

As soon as a few people from Jiangnan entered the door, Wang San greeted him and asked with a smile.

Jiang Nan bowed his head and said, "Lead a few of them over to eat something." Third, help find a vacant seat. ”

Wang San raised his chin, "There is still an empty private room on the fourth floor, what do you want to eat?" I immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare. ”

Jiang Nan walked up the stairs and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, just get a few good hands!" ”

Wang San answered and quickly ran towards the back kitchen.

Yao An followed Jiang Nan, his small eyes purring around, his eyes full of curiosity.

Liu Ruyan and Xiao Cui held each other side by side, their eyes did not squint, their expressions were indifferent, and they seemed to lack interest in everything around them.

"Master, what are we going to eat in a while?" Yao An jumped forward and asked with a smile.

Jiangnan kept at his feet, slowly walking up the stairs, "I rarely come here to eat, if you want to say what the specialty dish is, I really don't know!" After speaking, he shook his head, he was really an authentic shopkeeper.

Yao An's interest was undiminished, he jumped to the front quickly, leaned on the guardrail and looked down, and was inexplicably excited when he saw the many noisy diners downstairs.

Jiang Nan looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, he had been locked up for too long, and he was almost sick.

As soon as a few people sat down in the private room, Wang San went and returned, "Childe, I have explained it clearly, and I will be able to serve the food in a while." ”

Jiang Nan nodded, "Third child, sit down and eat together!" ”

Wang San was not polite, and pulled a stool to sit next to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan glanced at him and said suspiciously: "That's right, the third child!" Why didn't you stay at Liuquan Lake and come here? ”

Wang San: "Originally, the sixth child and I were both staying there, but then I thought about it, we both stayed there, and no one took care of the restaurant." Building a house is important, but it is also supported by a restaurant, if something goes wrong, the house will be delayed. As soon as the two of us discussed, they took turns guarding the restaurant, one day at a time. ”

When Jiangnan heard this, he was a little embarrassed, but his own industry was not as good as others.

But it was Liu Ruyun, who heard that Jiangnan was building a house next to Liuquan Lake, and his eyes lit up, "Son's house is building outside the city?" ”

When Jiang Nan heard this, he patted Wang San beside him, "Third child, I forgot to introduce you, this is Liu Ruyun girl, and she will live in a restaurant at night in the future, you explain it and let everyone abide by the rules." After speaking, he pointed to Wang San and said to Liu Ruyun: "Miss Liu, this is Wang San, you can find him if there is anything in the restaurant!" ”

Liu Ruyun looked at Wang San with a smile and bowed slightly.
