When Fang Jinshi returned to his home, it was already completely dark, he walked through the gate, wanted to go to Huang Jinmian, passed by the wing where Baozhu lived, and saw the indoor light projected through the pane, reflecting the figure, Fang Jinshi stopped, turned around and walked over.

As soon as he walked to the steps, the little girl from Baozhu happened to go out, and when she saw Fang Jinshi, she immediately turned to the room and said, "Baozhu girl, the son is here." ”

Baozhu soon appeared at the door of the room, she let Fang Jinshi into the house, Fang Jinshi saw that she should have just bathed, her hair was wet and scattered, there was no powder on her face, she was wearing a pink embroidered jacket, she was dressed very casually, Fang Jinshi looked at her, she felt very beautiful and soft at this time, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, you look good like this." ”

Baozhu smiled and said, "Why are you here tonight?" ”

Fang Jinshi deliberately said: "Can't I come?" This is my house and you have forgotten? ”

Baozhu smiled, and immediately said solemnly: "No, of course you can come at any time, but when you left in the middle of the night before, I was thinking about what I did wrong, and it was not good to serve you, I'm afraid you won't come." ”

Fang Jinshi sat down and said: "How can it be your fault, don't think too complicated, do you know that you are the most expensive woman in the Goolan Courtyard of the Lianghuai East and West Sects, I won't let you accompany me, and I still treat you as a Buddha and stay away?" ”

He was just joking, Baozhu listened to it but took it seriously, her face quickly darkened, walked in front of Fang Jinshi, and knelt in front of him with weak knees, Fang Jinshi was taken aback, and hurriedly supported her and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Baozhu said: "Today I was too out of shape, so you lost face in front of outsiders, and I still don't believe you, I have to go and have a look, it's really undeserved." ”

Fang Jinshi pulled her up and said softly: "This is human nature, I naturally understand, what's wrong?" It's not a big loss of face, and I never take it to heart. ”

Baozhu slowly let him pull up, and Fang Jinshi said: "If you really want to pay for it, just accompany me to eat." ”

Baozhu calmed down and said, "You haven't eaten so late?" I'll have someone arrange it. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I met Li Bao, he wants to kill me, where to eat." ”

Baozhu was taken aback and asked urgently, "Really?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Why lie to you, it's just that he said that if I treat you badly, he will trouble me, and if he treats you well, he will never appear." ”

Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know what to say for a while, Fang Jinshi took out the small cloth bag that Li Bao threw at him, handed it to Baozhu and said, "This is what he asked me to hand over to you." ”

Baozhu looked at him, opened the little cloth bag, and took out the contents, she unfolded the hammer and looked at it carefully, and then sighed deeply and remained silent.

Fang Jinshi said: "This seems to be a ground wedge. ”

Baozhu nodded and said: "Yes, it is the old house of my hometown in Shandong, if it weren't for this house and land, I wouldn't have been left to Goolan and suffer humiliation, this piece of paper really killed me." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then you can tell me what happened back then." ”

Baozhu turned her head away, and didn't say anything for a long time, obviously she didn't want to mention the incident to Fang Jinshi, Fang Jinshi said: "In this way, this Li Bao is also a fake love and false righteousness, but it sounds good, if it were me, I would have to do something desperately." ”

Baozhu really couldn't stand his excitement, and turned around and said: "When he was studying art in Luoyang, thousands of miles away, how could he blame him?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then he didn't save you after he came back?" ”

Baozhu said: "When he came back, it had been more than half a year, and it was irretrievable, at that time my ransom value already needed five hundred yuan, unless he went to kill people and overhaul goods, blocking the road and robbing the road, otherwise what way did he get out of the five hundred yuan, I was afraid that he would go to the extreme, so I could only be ruthless to him, let him earn the money that came from the right way to redeem me." ”

Fang Jinshi sighed and said: "At the Hundred Flowers Meeting, Prince Rikaan said that you were worth five hundred yuan, and the meaning of that sentence was here, but how did the Prince of Persia know about this?" ”

Baozhu said: "The prince of Persia must be familiar with him, I heard him say it." She never mentioned Li Bao's name, only said the word "he".

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "That Persian prince's sister also took a fancy to Li Bao, and she wanted to marry him, and she even made a fuss in my store the day before yesterday." ”

Baozhu listened to him, and did not speak, nor did he say anything down.

Fang Jinshi had no choice but to say to himself: "Thinking about it, Li Bao thinks that the fastest way to make money is to go to sea, so he went to Persia." ”

Baozhu said: "There are always people there who go to sea to work as shipwrights for large merchants, and the risks are there, and the wages are very good. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "How many years has Li Bao been at sea? ”

Baozhu thought for a while and said, "It's been more than four years. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Could it be that he hasn't come to you in the middle?" ”

Baozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you keep talking, you may not be happy, so don't talk about it." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I don't have anything, I still want to hear about your past." ”

Baozhu shook his head and sighed, and then said: "When he came to me with five hundred yuan, others asked him for seven hundred yuan, and when he took eight hundred yuan again, my ransom money was already one thousand yuan, so what was the use?" ”

Fang Jinshi thought about it, empathized with Li Bao's position, and could also imagine Li Bao's anger and sorrow, the things in the world, I am afraid that the most infuriating and helpless thing is that your loved one is suffering, but you can't save each other, and you fail again and again.

So Fang Jinshi also sighed, he didn't speak, but Baozhu continued: "For the last time, I also want to open, there is no fate, why force it, you can't ask for it, it just so happens that the Persian prince is willing to spend a lot of money to redeem me and give it to Mr. Meng, and he gave me to you as a concubine, for a background like mine, can there be a better destination than this?" No more. ”

Fang Jinshi said with a smile: "Yes, I bought Ma Zheng as a young man with a thousand gold, and I went to Yangzhou with 100,000 gold, and I have a good temper and am not stingy, let alone beat you and scold you." He always likes to boast when he has the opportunity, and slip out a few nonsense words.

Baozhu said: "Yes, you are indeed a very benevolent and righteous person, ten thousand times stronger than those who are rich and unkind, when I first saw you, I thought you were the same as those who came to have fun and laugh, and spoke badly to each other, today is so out of shape, I don't know how to think, there is no reason to doubt you, looking back, I am so ignorant, and I still remember the past, it is really too undeserved." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Today's events have passed, so there is no need to mention it again." ”

Baozhu said: "The past is like a dream, now that it is gone, what is the use of leaving it?" She had been holding the hairpin in the small cloth bag in her hand, and when she raised her hand, the hairpin came out of the window and flew down into the flowers in the back window.

Fang Jinshi looked out the window, turned around and said, "The past may not be like a dream, I want to know, since Li Bao is not a coward, why didn't he take you away and elope, and find a place where no one knows to start over, isn't it better?" ”

Baozhu said: "It's not that he didn't think about it, and he mentioned it to me several times, but I didn't want to." ”

Fang Jinshi said strangely: "Why is this? ”

Baozhu said: "I have been in that kind of place for several years, how can I still deserve to let him be like this, if others know my past, he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life, and there is a violation of law and discipline in his escape, which is not tolerated by the world, I believe that he will become a great weapon in the future, and he will be able to have a way out of the glory of his ancestors, and I will escape but I must only be buried for life, how can I be so selfish." ”

She made up her mind and said, "It is best for him to marry a woman from a good family, but it is not possible for a foreign woman." ”

Hearing her last words, Fang Jinshi also smiled and said, "You still can't let him go." ”

Baozhu said solemnly: "You can rest assured, from now on, I will never see him again, it is not good for a woman from that kind of place, but once you recognize and settle down, she is firmer than many women." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "You think so, but Li Bao may not think so." ”

Baozhu said: "Since he said so, he will definitely not come to me again." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "That's not what I mean, I mean, Li Bao may not feel that marrying you as a wife will be tolerated by the world, since he is so desperate, that is, everything has been thought about, I think he will give up everything for you." ”

Baozhu only said this, and stayed for a long time, Fang Jinshi looked at her face silently, waiting for her to speak, and Baozhu said for a long time: "So what, everything is just a fantasy." ”

Fang Jinshi stood up and said, "I have an idea, would you like to hear it?" ”

Orb asked, "What's the idea?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's that I want Li Bao to do things for me, and find an opportunity to give you to him in the future, since you are mine, it is not a violation of discipline for me to give it to him, and the two of you can be together in a dignified manner, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Baozhu could barely believe his ears and asked, "What?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I am in a hurry to use people at the moment, and I am even more lacking in confidants, Li Bao can fight, and he has been to Persia, if he can come to help me sincerely, I can't ask for it, he must have real skills, I have the opportunity to recommend to Lord Yun, not much stronger than his helplessness?" ”

Baozhu looked at him in a daze, and muttered, "You...... Do you really want to be perfected? ”

Fang Jinshi laughed and said: "Naturally, it's sincere, don't you still praise me for my benevolence, righteousness and affection?" I have a wife and a concubine, and having more of you and a concubine is nothing more than multiple women to serve, but you and Li Bao are different, I am an adult, and I have such a warrior to help, why not? ”

Baozhu suddenly knelt down again and said: "Whether the son has a benevolent heart or a selfish desire to seek talent, your words are enough to make Baozhu grateful." ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Why do you like kneeling so much, I have both thoughts, out of the bottom of my heart, it is not false." ”
