Fang Jinshi came down from the thirty steps with the jewel in his arms, put her down, and finally glanced back at Cai Meng who was standing on the pavilion, but he didn't say anything, turned his head and walked towards the gate, as for whether the jewel would follow, he didn't care at all.

The orb was put down by him, and she made up her mind, but she still followed.

Fang Jinshi walked slowly outside the gate, and no one sent him out, and the doorkeeper gently closed the door behind him, as if he was not even the least important guest.

In fact, this also represents the attitude of Cai Meng's gang, although he is on the surface second only to Mr. Meng Da's "Fang Xiaogongzi", in essence, in the eyes of these people, he is not even as good as the shopkeeper in a store.

This osmanthus alley is quiet and peaceful, in this Pingjiang Mansion City is an ordinary house, Fang Jinshi did not look back at the jewel girl, but looked up at the door plaque of this house, did not pay attention when he came, at this time I saw clearly, this plaque is written on the four big characters "Deze Tongzhang", these four big characters calligraphy is extremely handsome, charming and heroic, happy and calm is extraordinary, but the place is Cai Jing.

Fang Jinshi walked out of the alley to the street, several children jumped and ran past him, singing Jiangnan nursery rhymes in their mouths, Fang Jinshi listened to them sing: "Hit the bucket, splash the vegetables, it is a good world in the world......" Several children sang and went away quickly, Fang Jinshi suddenly felt very good, after all, Cai Meng promised to give him 500,000 yuan of Song money as a book, the goal has been achieved, things have finally had a good start, Fang Jinshi couldn't help humming the nursery rhyme sung by the children just now, he suddenly realized that Baozhu was following behind him, and turned his head to look at her, asked: "How am I singing?" ”

Baozhu still had an indifferent expression on his face, but after listening to his words, he tried to squeeze out a smile and said three words: "Very good." But the girl behind her covered her mouth and smiled like a flower.

Fang Jinshi looked up at the sun in the sky, patted the dust on his body, he saw a few lazy beggars squatting in the corner of the street, Fang Jinsanmai reached into his arms, and gave the dog's leg in his arms to a beggar in the corner, after walking dozens of steps, he arrived at a secluded place, he turned back to Baozhu and said: "Now that you have become a free body, I will not stop you from going wherever you want." ”

Baozhu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "You don't want me?" ”

Fang Jinshi turned his face and looked at the pedestrians on the street, a woman like Baozhu was undoubtedly still lethal to him, he turned his back to Baozhu and said slowly: "A woman like you, what man doesn't want it?" It's just that I already have a wife and concubine at home, and I don't have time to accompany you to spend the moon and sing songs, in this case, why not give you back your freedom, let you think about doing what you want to do, and fulfill your unfulfilled wishes. ”

Baozhu listened to his words, lowered his head to think, and sighed, "I...... I don't have any unfulfilled wishes. ”

Fang Jinshi turned his head to look at her and said: "No matter how high or low a person is, rich or poor, he will have his own wishes, and the Kabuki of the Church is also a human being, you have finally been free, and then there will be a good year, that is your own way in the future." ”

When Fang Jinshi said this, he felt like a preachy old monk and old pedant, and even he didn't understand why he could say such a thing, but this was his true words.

Baozhu tilted his head slightly to look at him, as if he was thinking about whether he was sincere or hypocritical, and after a while, he sighed again and said, "The world is so big, where can I go?" ”

Fang Jinshi turned his head and straightened his clothes and belt, and said with a smile: "If you really don't have a place to go for a while, or you haven't thought about it, go to my house to live first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Baozhu didn't say anything more, nodded lightly, and Fang Jinshi said, "Let's go." ”

He took the jewel slowly to the street of Pingjiang Fucheng, walked for a while, and was not far from the shop in Jinxianzhuang, Fang Jinshi stopped and waited for the jewel to catch up and said: "There is a cloth village in front of me that I opened, you go there and pick up a few clothes." ”

Baozhu still just nodded, Fang Jinshi didn't care about her attitude, and took her to Jinxian Village with the little girl.

At this time, there were a lot of female customers in Jinxian Village who were picking clothes and fabrics, thinking that Fang Jinshi's Hundred Flowers Club publicity had an effect, Fang Jinshi walked into the store, looked at the store, and went to the back of the account, Hu shopkeeper saw him coming, and was busy greeting him, Fang Jinshi did not introduce the identity of Baozhu to him, and said to Baozhu: "You two go to the front few pieces to pick clothes and fabrics, take whatever you like, don't worry about it, I'm waiting for you here." ”

The little girl suddenly looked happy, after all, all women like to pick clothes, not to mention such a large cloth village to choose at will, Baozhu said calmly: "I don't need it." ”

Fang Jinshi had already sat down, stood up and said, "Why don't I help you pick it?" ”

Baozhu was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said to the little girl, "You go and choose a few clothes for me." She then glanced timidly at Fang Jinshi and lowered his head, Fang Jinshi was satisfied, and said to the shopkeeper Hu: "This is the Baozhu girl, and she will be in her own family in the future." ”

His words were clear, but vague, and the shopkeeper Hu looked stunned, and then bowed to the jewel again: "Hello, little lady." ”

Fang Jinshi laughed, didn't explain too much, sat down in a big way, Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly found another very clean new seat to come over to Baozhu, Shopkeeper Hu served tea to Fang Jinshi and the others, Fang Jinshi took a sip and said, "It seems that today's business is good." ”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and said, "When the son didn't come, there were more people." ”

Fang Jinshi nodded with satisfaction, he didn't sit in this brocade village for a long time, and a guy outside came in to report: "The king in the yamen is asking outside the door, is the little boy here." ”

As soon as Fang Jinshi heard him ask to see, he asked the shopkeeper to invite him in, as soon as Wang Diao'er walked into the tent, Fang Jinshi said: "How does the king know that I am here?" ”

Wang Diao'er replied with a smile: "I went to the house first, saying that the little boy went out early in the morning, so I came here to try my luck, and the little boy was really there." ”

Fang Jinshi politely invited him to sit down, Wang Diao'er saw Baozhu, he knew this famous Baozhu girl, so he said: "Baozhu girl is also here, it seems that the little boy's hundred flowers will bloom, and everyone in Pingjiang Fucheng knows about it, and if you want to buy clothes and fabrics, you will naturally go to Jinxian Village." ”

Fang Jinshi said with a smile: "Baozhu is not here to buy fabrics, if Master Wang comes often, he will often see her here in the future." ”

Wang Diao'er sighed, and then praised with a smile: "The little boy is really a blessing." ”

The two of them exchanged a few words of gossip, and Fang Jinshi said: "The king's book is to come to the door for nothing, but what happened to those Zhancheng rice?" ”

Wang Diao'er bowed and said: "That batch of rice has arrived, but it is still unloaded at the wharf." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then please take care of the master of the king, find a place to store it, and tomorrow I will ask the shopkeeper Hu to go with you to settle the money account." At this time, he got the 105,000 guan given by Ji Changan, and the 500,000 guan that Cai Meng promised, and he felt that he was much harder to speak.

Wang Diao'er was overjoyed, and said some kind words with a smile, and after a while, Wang Diao'er smiled, and the other party entered the stone and said: "Wang is not talented, there is still a little matter to ask Fang Xiaogongzi for help, I don't know ......"

Fang Jinshi said strangely: "The king has something to say. ”

Wang Diao'er said with a certain certainty: "It's ashamed to say, it's always troublesome to Fang Xiaogongzi, Wang has a cousin of the same sect, named Wang Gui, and has a few strengths, he will make a few shots of guns and sticks, and he wants to rely on Xiao Ke to make a difference in the public gate, but first, Xiao Ke is lowly and low, and secondly, this public meal is also unpalatable now, so I thought that the little boy has a wide court, to see if he can come to run errands for the little boy and eat a mouthful." ”

Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, this Wang Diao'er actually wanted to introduce his cousin to him, Fang Jinshi actually didn't like to be too familiar with a knife and pen official like Wang Diao'er, but since Wang Diao'er had already spoken, it was difficult to refute his face, so he said: "The king's book is outside, you can bring him over to get to know him the next day." ”

Wang Diao'er said happily: "He is waiting outside the door at this time, how about I let him come in to meet the little boy?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's okay." ”

Wang Diao'er went away with joy, and after a short time brought in his cousin Wang Gui, who was not tall, but had an ordinary appearance, and his body looked very strong, dressed in black cloth, and wearing a pair of shoes full of dust.

Wang Diao'er brought Wang Gui over to salute Fang Jinshi, and Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite. As soon as he approached Wang Gui like this, he could smell the smell of wine on his body, and this Wang Gui seemed to be a good drinker.

Wang Diao'er said to Fang Jinshi: "My brother has been catching fast for a few days, and he has also been a soldier for a few days, but in the past few years, my mother was always sick and needed to be taken care of, and she couldn't take care of her public affairs, so she couldn't do it for long." ”

Fang Jinshi looked at Wang Guidao: "Brother Wang is a brave man at first glance, and he is also a person of filial piety. ”

Wang Diao'er said: "That's natural, now his mother has passed away, no longer worry, the little boy is a nobleman, I'm afraid that it will provoke some small people to hate, the little boy will go out with him in the future, but he is safe and worry-free, dozens of people can't get close to him on weekdays, and he has some ability." ”

Fang Jinshi heard him say that this Wang Gui is good at martial arts, no matter whether this Wang Diao'er exaggerates or not, he has the heart to keep this Wang Gui.

He and Wang Diao'er said a few more casual words, Wang Diao'er led Wang Gui to get up and leave, and when he was leaving, Wang Gui said to Fang Jinshi: "I heard that the little boy is looking for someone at a big price?" ”

Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment and said, "Who am I looking for?" ”

Wang Gui said: "I heard it from the guys on the Dongjiang Ping. ”

Dongjiangping is Zhou Jinpeng's shop, Fang Jinshi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Do you have news about this person?" ”

Wang Guidao: "I don't know the surname Xue that Xiao Gongzi is looking for, and I don't have any news about him, but I heard that Xiao Gongzi had a subordinate surnamed Wei before, and later betrayed Xiao Gongzi, I recognized this person more than ten years ago, I don't know if Xiao Gongzi wants to know his whereabouts." ”

What he said was Wei Chong, Fang Jinshi never expected that this person actually knew Wei Chong, Wei Chong always seemed to be betraying in his life, he was originally a subordinate of Zhao Ziyan, the king of Xiu, and then went undercover to Zhao Ziping's side, and later betrayed Zhao Ziping and returned to the Xiuwang Mansion, arranged by the Xiu King to protect his thoughtfulness.
