Chapter 102: Trouble with the Sugar Gourd
Seeing these arrests and officers and soldiers, Cui Li hurriedly said: "Brother He, since we have found the human skin mask, should we also go back to the palace to search for the assassins hiding in the palace? ”
Hetai disagreed: "Brother Xian is more anxious than me, this scholar, now he is out to go shopping to change his mood, and he doesn't talk about business." You've been in the capital for a long time, but my brother hasn't walked around with you, and I haven't invited you to a restaurant for a meal, and Fluttershy has finally left the palace, so I'm going to invite you to a good meal today. Hetai said to him.
"Second master, why don't we go back to the palace, please eat whenever you want. Yu Die'er also said. The fire burned her eyebrows, since she had found a clue, she had to quickly deploy to catch the murderer, what kind of street did she visit? And she was still thinking about the medicinal food at noon, did she send it to the emperor? I really want to go back as soon as possible.
In the crowd of ordinary people, in order to prevent people from attracting attention, it is inconvenient to call him the prince, so Yu Die'er changed to call him the second master. Hetai thinks it is very useful, this title is much more pleasant and intimate than calling himself the prince.
"Whoever talks about business again, the Lord will throw you on this street. Hetai said in a deep voice. Then he glanced at Yu Die'er, and that meaningful look made her instantly understand something, could it be that Hetai was trying to get away with it? Deliberately let the follow-up go and make the other party relax his vigilance? In short, his eyes seemed to tell him that he knew what he knew, so that he could believe him. She had no choice but to stop talking and let him go.
Cui Li pretended to be frightened and covered his mouth, and only looked at him with his eyes in protest. In fact, I wish I didn't take it back? Who rarely goes back, and going back is equivalent to being put under house arrest to refine medicine! Hmph!
A few people whispered, and a person next to him suddenly frowned and said, "Oh, girl, the sugar gourd you are holding in your hand is stuck to my sleeve." ”
Yu Die'er turned her head to take a look, isn't it, because of the dispatch of a large number of officers and soldiers, the pedestrians on the street are crowded on the side of the street, standing and watching the excitement, people are naturally close to each other, and she didn't pay attention to when the sugar gourd in her hand stuck to the sleeve of the person next to her, this person may also patronize to watch the excitement, and now she found that the sleeve was stained with sticky syrup.
She hurriedly took it away, but the sticky syrup still left a large mark on the sleeve.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This big brother has soiled your clothes. Yu Die'er looked apologetic and hurriedly apologized sincerely.
It was like a woman who was with that person, and when she heard the two of them talking, she pulled the man's sleeve and looked at it, and suddenly her face darkened: "Oh, such a big piece, why don't you look at it, she is holding a sugar gourd, you don't know how to hide away." He said to Yu Die'er angrily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, is it useful? You don't have eyes? ”
"This sister-in-law, just touched a little dirty, just go back and wash it, and the girls apologized. Someone behind him said something to persuade him.
"Apologize, how much is an apology worth?" the woman scolded fiercely. "The robe made by my husband was the first time I wore it, how to wear it by this, I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out. Bad luck!"
Well, Yu Die'er saw that this woman's words were very evil, and she was helpless, although the apology was worthless, but it was also a form of sincere apology.
"What do you say about the new clothes that you only wore once?" the woman stared at Yu Die'er, "It can't be like this in vain, right?"
"This sister-in-law, I didn't mean to, why don't I stick some on my sleeve to make you balance and balance?"
When the woman heard her words, her face changed, and she looked at her like a monster: "Are you playing with me, and what good will it do me to put some on your own sleeve?"
The soiled man whispered to the woman to stop there, but she would not listen.
In the middle of the argument, suddenly a hand holding a silver ingot reached out to the woman: "Is this money enough to compensate you?" said Hetai indifferently. "You should have long eyes, see it clearly, is it enough!"
I don't know who scolded him for not having eyes?
The woman was stunned, she had wanted compensation, but before the play had been played, she hadn't mentioned it yet? Why did she automatically pay for it? Hetai was at a loss when she did this. The crowd in front of and on the left and right also stirred.
"This big silver ingot, not to mention enough, is simply rich in ten pieces. ”
"Rich people, as soon as you make a move, it is a silver ingot. ”
"Why didn't I stand next to that girl, give me such a big silver ingot, not to mention the sugar gourd rubbing on my sleeve, it doesn't matter if the whole sugar gourd sticks to me. I don't even bring any washing, I keep it as a souvenir. ”
Some people are red with envy, and some people laugh. There are also people who talk about not collecting cashiers, after all, it is just a little dirty, just go back and wash it. Isn't asking for money a lie?
The woman, as if she was afraid that Hetai would regret it, eagerly reached out to receive the silver. Unexpectedly, Hetai withdrew her hand, she didn't get it, and suddenly guessed in her heart that she was playing with herself?
"I can give you the silver, as if I bought this robe, but you have to make an apology to this girl. "Hetai said.
"Apologize? It was she who soiled my husband's robe, so why should I apologize to her? The woman didn't know what she meant.
"Because you scared her by yelling. Hetai said briefly.
The crowd whispered again.
"I think it should be, if someone soils their clothes and intends to pay for the silver, then they don't owe her, and she should apologize for speaking so badly to the girl before. ”
"Apologize, apologize, such a big silver ingot, let me apologize for a day, I will do it. ”
"Then you go to the street and wander around, and when you see someone with a sugar gourd, you go up and see if you can take the opportunity to ask for money?"
"Go, I don't do that kind of thing, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. ”
Seeing the lively discussion of the lively people, the woman hesitated, as if she was weighing the silver, she was determined to want the silver, but immediately agreed, and felt that the purpose of her greed for money was too obvious, and she wanted to be the master of the archway.
She whispered: "The clothes are not torn, just go back and wash them, this person is generous, I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with, and the silver is hot!" But she didn't want to, she glared at him fiercely, this ingots are silver that they can't save in a year. How can you not be when it comes to your lips?
The woman was afraid that Hetai would regret it, and she was afraid that the public would stir up the situation, so it seemed that she couldn't delay, so she couldn't care about face, and confirmed to Hetai: "I apologize to her, and this silver will really be compensated to us?"
As soon as these words came out, the people who watched the excitement were boiling.
"Look, it's better to choose silver. ”
"Money makes evil spirits grind, and silver makes wicked women little sheep. ”
"When we see her in the future, we have to walk around, and we accidentally bump into her, but there is no money to be blackmailed by her. ”
Hetai saw that she didn't believe it, and took out another ingot, but it was given to the first person who helped Yu Die'er speak and persuade her.
"Just now you said a fair word, which can be regarded as a favor, and this ingot of silver can be regarded as a thank you. Hetai said lightly. Then he looked at the woman: "Now you can believe it? The silver is about the same as a brick to me, and you are afraid that I will not be willing to do it?"
At this moment, the crowd not only envied this woman, but also envied the person who spoke for Yu Die'er first, and only hated that he didn't come forward to help at that time. And some acquaintances shouted that the man should invite wine and eat if he had obtained foreign wealth.
"Please, please, wait for a few brothers to go together. The man also said generously. As if in a dream, my words are worth so much silver? Originally, I didn't want to say a word, but I just wanted to persuade the woman not to bully the little girl too much. I didn't expect to help a God of Wealth.
The woman was obviously also shocked by Hetai's generosity, and this time she said to Yu Die'er without the slightest hesitation: "This girl, Fang is the one who spoke recklessly, apologize to the girl." My family is poor, and I finally made a good dress, and went to the market to buy some gifts to visit relatives and friends, but suddenly the clothes were dirty, and I was in a hurry and spoke rudely. I beg your pardon. ”
"You can't scold people in a hurry, it's really a loss. ”
"It's just that it would have been like this a long time ago, there are so many people on the street, and no one has touched anyone next to whom. ”
The person who spoke for Yu Die'er before, along with a few of the person's friends, helped one after another.
The woman's judgment of the two of them made Die'er frown, a little disdainful of her, but still expressed forgiveness.
Seeing that the woman apologized, Hetai didn't say anything more, but gave her the money as he spoke, and the woman took her husband and walked away.
The crowd also dispersed, each going about his own thing.
"Second master, just a robe, she shouldn't have lost so much money, she said a few words, and it was indeed me who was wrong first. Yu Die'er would rather be said a few words than give her silver, no way, who let herself be born in a poor family, I think my father's bun shop can't save dozens of taels a year. So except for the necessary things, she is generally more frugal.
"Fluttershy feels sorry for her money?" asked Tsurutae, who didn't answer, but pouted, visibly distressed.
Yu Die'er felt sorry for the silver, Hetai saw it in his eyes, but his heart was uncomfortable, the women around him were all from the wealthy compound, which one didn't wear gold and silver, and spent money like running water, when would he feel sorry for the silver? But his Fluttershy was as reluctant to give up as if she had cut meat for a few dozen taels, so she pitied her even more. I want to give her all my money, so that she can spend it as much as she wants, and spend it enough!
So he said softly: "Xiao Fluttershy doesn't have to feel distressed, what the lord has is silver, and the annual tribute and taxes of the fiefdom are millions of taels at best, what is this scattered silver? I won't allow it!"
Millions of taels? Or every year, or to say smaller? Don't say that others are jealous, Yu Die'er feels that her eyes are also red at this time. Therefore, the true feelings of Hetai's swear behind her were revealed, but she didn't advance into her heart.
Forgive her for choosing behind her ears, just because she was knocked out by millions of taels of silver!
