There are strange things every year, especially this year, and my side is about to become a monk's nest, and the women from there kneel in front of the door.

Hearing the news of Ma Sanbiao, Wang Tong was stunned for a while, no matter what, he didn't think of who this woman was, although the delicious restaurant was heavily guarded, but the side door of Wang Tong's mansion was defenseless.

Because Wang Tong himself still has the errand of Jinyi Wei Zongqi, there are many outsiders in and out of his house, plus the original main gate has built a delicious restaurant, and now the courtyard gate is just on the periphery of the defense area, so it doesn't matter.

But the people on the South Street, whose big and small ladies don't dare to let them come here, and the delicious restaurant is a eunuch and a guard, not to mention the difference between men and women, if you offend these people in the palace, isn't that a disaster for your own family?

"My mother's stewed meat and bones tonight, baked cakes, let me go out to find an adult, but as soon as I went out, I saw the woman kneeling at the door, her body in tatters."

"You didn't ask what the hell it was about?"

"How dare I ask such a thing."

Looking at Ma Sanbiao's laughing appearance, Wang Tong couldn't cry or laugh, this rough man wanted to be crooked at first glance, anyway, he went back, and went to see by the way.

The teenagers all went to the delicious restaurant for dinner, Wang Tong returned home by himself, just like Ma Sanbiao said, there was a petite figure kneeling in front of the door, wearing a skirt, it should be a woman, the hem of the skirt was already tattered, and it looked very embarrassed.

Wang Tong walked to the door, and the woman who was kneeling heard the movement, looked up, and saw very clearly by the lantern that had been hung on the beam of the gatehouse.

is a very beautiful girl, Wang Tong sees very few girls in this era, there are differences between men and women in this era, women rarely show their heads, what can be seen on the street, except for children is old women, and then those women who are forced by life, such a female surname is naturally not beautiful.

Speaking of which, it was only when Mingchun Tower was sealed some time ago that Wang Tong saw some beautiful women.

I saw less in this era, but in that era of openness and information explosion, I saw too much, Wang Tong was also well-informed and had enough resistance.

But no matter what the standard is, the girl in front of her can be called beautiful, but the girl who looked up just now made Wang Tong see something different.

Unlike those delicate flowers, there is a kind of fortitude and strength in this girl's dirty face, which is more accustomed to being called "Lie" in this era.

Such a beautiful surname, the age is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, Wang Tong has almost guessed who it is, he frowned and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Hongying, the people's daughter, is the daughter of the family that the adult led the rescue that day."

As expected, the girl's voice was clear, and it was particularly beautiful at night, Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"Didn't your father and mother take you to Huangcun, just run away, and the official is too lazy to embarrass him, it's okay anymore."

That night, when Sun Dahai led people over, he found that the brother-in-law and sister of the Xia shopkeeper had already packed up and taken the children out of the city, leaving only the Xia shopkeeper to see if they could ease the relationship.

Originally, he was angry for a while, but since the person ran away, Wang Tong didn't want to waste his energy on such a small family, so he went.

"It's so late, you go home for one night first, and you will find your father and mother tomorrow!!"

Wang Tong turned around and was about to enter the door, but he didn't expect the girl to get up, and kowtowed twice on the ground, and said in a low voice:

"The whole family of the people did such shameless things when the adults led the crowd to help, I'm sorry for the adults, the people are making amends to the adults, please don't blame the family of the people!!"

After saying that, he kowtowed two more heads, Wang Tong was busy for a day, hungry in his belly, and he was a little irritable at this time, Zhang Hongying said this, Wang Tong opened his mouth and explained:

"Your uncle just handed over his share in the restaurant, and the official gave him the silver at the price and drove him out of the capital, don't worry, the official is too lazy to pay attention to this matter."

After making such a fuss, the original owner of the Zhenxing Building was afraid that the matter would involve him, and after the shopkeeper Xia sold the shares to Wang Tong, he also gave it to Wang Tong cheaper, and overnight, this Zhenxing Building was already Wang Tong's industry.

Shopkeeper Xia was scolded by Wang Tong, and he lost this errand, but he has also accumulated some family funds over the years, plus the money from selling shares, and went to Huangcun's hometown to buy some fields, and he is also a landlord who eats rent, and in fact, there is no loss.

In that day, Shopkeeper Xia and his sister and brother-in-law's family crossed the river and demolished the bridge, only caring for themselves, which did make Wang Tong angry, but it was not uncommon for the people of small families to have this reaction.

Now Wang Tong can make their whole family crushed by his hands, but Wang Tong is too lazy to waste his energy on this.

"The people's daughter Xie is magnanimous, but the adult's life-saving grace, and the family is ungrateful, if the little girl does not come to repay the reward, our Zhang family will inevitably be punished by God in the future."

Zhang Hongying raised her head and said categorically, Wang Tong was stunned, looked at it a few times, Zhang Hongying's expression was firm, without a trace of wavering, looking at Wang Tong, Zhang Hongying subconsciously lowered her head, and then raised her head and said:

"If the little woman's family owes the adult, the little woman will repay it as a cow and a horse as a slave and a maid, just ask the adult not to be angry with the little woman's family, if the adult does not want the little woman, the little woman will die here today, and repay the adult's life-saving grace."

Wang Tong smiled, this girl is a smart person, maybe from the fact that she forced back the official Shangshu Gongzi, she guessed that her own side is also a big man who can't be provoked, if she offends this kind of person, where can she run, it is better to have a glimmer of life like this.

Looking at beautiful girls always makes people feel happy, Wang Tong felt interesting, lowered his head and approached and asked:

"What will you do, how do you want to repay this official?"

Seeing Wang Tong's face approaching, Zhang Hongying, who had no regrets and perseverance, shrank back as if she had been pricked by a needle, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head, and said in a trembling voice:

"The folk girl can sew and wash, cook and clean, and recognize a few words......"

Speaking of which, Wang Tong is really interested, this kind of girl can read is really rare, it's not that a woman is not talented or virtuous, but it costs money to go to a private school, and such a small family is reluctant to spend money for a girl who will definitely marry in the future.

"Do you still know how to read, your husband?"

"When the girl was ten years old, her mother once dressed up as a boy and sent her to a private school for a year.......

The girl's voice became quieter, Wang Tong was more interested, the family was really interesting, and asked again:

"Why?"

"The folk girl thinks ...... Can marry into a large family...... So recognize some words......."

The girl's head was about to be buried in the ground, and Wang Tong also understood, just hoping that the family would think that the girl was beautiful, and hoped to marry into a wealthy family, and the whole family would follow.

It was just wishful thinking, Wang Tong smiled, walked past the girl to the door of the horse widow's house, called the door open, and said to the horse woman:

"Aunt Ma, this girl will stay with you for one night tonight, buy her some food, change her old clothes, and talk about it tomorrow, let Sanbiao come to sleep in my hall today!"

Ma Pozi naturally had no opinion on this arrangement, Wang Tong asked Ma Pozi to bring the tired Zhang Hongying into Ma's house, holding the rice bowl, and Ma Sanbiao, who was holding two cakes, ran to Wang Tong's side.

"It's still an adult, this room is spacious, our house is too narrow, and I'm in a panic."

Ma Sanbiao was never polite on Wang Tong's side, as soon as he entered the hall, put the rice bowl on the table, and ate again, Wang Tong scolded with a smile and said:

"You are still short of money now, hurry up and buy a big mansion and live in it with your mother!"

"My mother said that the delicious restaurant can't leave people for a moment, it's too inconvenient to move away and come again, she gets up before dawn every morning, and I can't sleep well, my lord, or you let me go to the big house in the south, anyway, I'm the head of those helpers."

The mouth was full of things, Ma Sanbiao kept talking endlessly, Wang Tong was quite moved when he heard it, Ma Pozi is not young, but she still works so hard to hold this delicious restaurant, it is really loyal, and there will definitely be a reward in the future, but now is not the time to talk about this.

Ma Sanbiao's gobbling appearance made Wang Tong, who hadn't eaten dinner, hungry, and was just about to think about getting some food to eat, when someone outside the door shouted:

"Lord Wang, Lu Wancai asks to see you!"

Push official Lu Wancai, what are you doing at this time? Wang Tong was surprised, and before Ma Sanbiao got up to open the door, Lu Wancai trotted in, Lu Wancai's face was not very good, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said:

"Lord Wang, the kingdom of the Ministry of Ministers and Shangshu has ...... of glory"

Wang Tong nodded, this news is not unexpected, Zhang Cheng discussed with him, Emperor Wanli only let Wang Guoguang Zhishi retire, which is already a great favor, but the point of what Lu Wancai said is not this, he then said:

"His only son, Wang Tailai, hanged himself after hearing the news!"

Hearing this, Wang Tong stood up suddenly, Lu Wancai nodded solemnly, and answered Wang Tong's reconfirmation, Wang Tong calmed down, turned to Ma Sanbiao and said:

"Sanbiao, I'm hungry, go to the delicious restaurant to get me a meal."

Ma Sanbiao knew the stakes, and hurriedly wiped his mouth and got up to go out, and Lu Wancai stepped forward and said:

"I just reported to the Yamen, such officials who want to return to their hometowns, Shuntianfu is generally unwilling to have more rights and wrongs, and he is given a self-hanging, but that he is a brother's henchman, and when he reported the news just now, he told me privately that Wang Tailai was clearly strangled to death before hanging on the beam of the house."
