Hongzhi couldn't believe her eyes, because there had never been a man who had refused her like this, it had always been a man who begged her to take a second look, and today she took the initiative to show weakness, this man actually avoided her like a ghost? Is she capable of eating people or what?

"Miss, why is this country man so uninteresting? What do we do now? The maid said cautiously.

Hongzhi was angry: "What else can I do?" Of course, it's clean to pull out the carriage and go back clean, is it really impossible to sleep in the wilderness? ”

"But if you don't complete the task assigned by the master, will the master blame you?"

Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "I don't believe that I can't even take a sour talent who is dead studying, and I'll meet him again tomorrow." ”

"But what if he still avoids it like this?"

"Then I can only say to the whole city that I like this Ye Gongzi, and see if the other powerful sons in Lincheng will let him go, and see if his reputation will be damaged."

"But doesn't this reduce the value of the young lady? It's just a poor boy, won't he be ridiculed by those little hooves in the capital when it spreads out in the future? ”

"Do you have a better way? Don't want to complete the task assigned by the master? ”

The master and servant were indignant in the same place, and after a while, two peasant men came to help.

The two peasant sweaters were stunned when they saw the master and servant of the red branch, and then hurriedly looked away and said with a smile: "Just now, a son said that you were in trouble and asked our brothers to help, saying that they would give a good reward, right?" ”

The little maid was shocked, she had never given money to her young lady, how could she ignore it like today, and then two peasant men actually came directly to ask for money?

However, the little maid didn't know that this peasant man was the most intellectual, they went into the city more and naturally knew that their image was not liked by those ladies and ladies, the peasants worked hard for a year, barely able to marry their mother-in-law, even if they had other thoughts about good-looking women, they didn't dare to show it, after all, someone else's words could ruin their lives, compared to this kind of beauty that would offend them at a glance, or the mother-in-law in their own family came down-to-earth.

At this time, Hongzhi put away the gentleness and temptation he had just given Ye Qiu, and his expression became lofty and inviolable: "Yes, pull the carriage out and repair it, this ingot of silver is yours." ”

"Big brother, that scholar really didn't lie to us." The swarthy man smiled innocently, and didn't care that the silver was thrown on the ground, so he picked it up and hid it in his arms and began to help the coachman pull the carriage.

Hongzhi is not surprised by this, and the little maid is arrogant and sarcastic, as if she is noble, in fact, in the final analysis, she is just a maid of Qinglou Yizi, and her social status is much lower than that of civilians, at least people and civilians are innocent, you are a little maid who sells herself, unless there is amnesty, your descendants will not be free.

But society is like this, laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes, and ordinary civilians are not educated, so they have always bowed to people who dress better than them, and now people give money, which is their employer, and a silver ingot is enough for their family to eat for half a year.

This carriage was originally designed by the red branches, so it didn't take much effort to pull it out, the two men quickly got it out, and there was no big problem with the car, but the central axis was cracked a little, and now it is impossible to change it, but with a hemp rope tie, you can still easily enter the city.

Hongzhi was angry today, and he didn't say a word until he returned to the city, but Ye Qiu's side was the opposite, even if he lived in a leaky house, he couldn't be comfortable, he wanted to see what kind of ability the people sent by King Cheng still had.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu went into the city to forage for food as usual, and went to the bookstore to hand in the newly copied books, and unsurprisingly met the red branch at the door of the bookstore.

"Childe, I really happened to meet you here." Hongzhi looked touched and shy, "I haven't thanked Gongzi for saving me yesterday, I can't repay the grace of saving my life, if Gongzi wants the little girl to do anything, just mention it." ”

As soon as Hongzhi said this, the readers in the bookstore immediately looked at Ye Qiu with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Ye Qiu, on the other hand, looked dazed, and even said impatiently: "I'll save you?" The girl is mistaken, right? I didn't save anyone at all. ”

Hongzhi's face stiffened slightly, and then showed an understanding smile: "The little woman knows that Gongzi Gao Feng Liangjie doesn't want to be known about this, but if it wasn't for Gongzi's help yesterday, presumably the little girl would have to sleep in the wilderness, and if she encounters any thieves or beasts, she can't know." ”

What she said was very ambiguous, what did it mean to sleep in the wilderness without Ye Qiu's help? What did the two of them do in the wilderness yesterday?

"Are you saying that yesterday your carriage broke down, and then I called two peasant men to help you pull the cart?" Ye Qiu suddenly realized, "But what are you thanking me for?" I didn't do anything, by the way, those two big brothers helped you yesterday, you pay it, it's not easy for ordinary people, we should respect any labor. ”

He said this more straightforwardly, and explained things clearly, and at a glance, he didn't seem to care about Hongzhi's feelings at all.

"Speaking of this girl, I just passed by and asked you to invite two people to pull, and it was your own money, how did I become your savior? You can't talk nonsense about that in the future. Ye Qiu muttered in a loud voice as he spoke, "Looking at the appearance of being well-dressed, why do you talk and behave so frivolously?" ”

The voice was not loud or small, and it happened to be heard by the people in the bookstore, and the eyes that looked at him and Hongzhi suddenly became weird.

Some people think that he doesn't know what to do, and the red branch girl kindly thanked him for not appreciating it, but some people think that the Qinglou woman is the Qinglou woman, no matter how famous she is, she is never a serious girl, otherwise who would say something to let a foreign man make a request at will because of such a little kindness?

Thinking about it like this, it seems that Ye Qiu is more upright and gentlemanly, after all, the reputation of the Red Branch Girl is outside, how many men in the world can resist this kind of accident?

"Red branch girl, but a casual word, I don't feel like I have a favor with you, please don't say such misleading words in the future, I am already a person with a marriage contract, I must not do anything to be sorry for my fiancée, my fiancée's family did not think I was poor and quit the marriage, I naturally have to keep my body and mind for my fiancée, otherwise how can I be sorry for Uncle Rong's fancy to me?" Ye Qiu said very righteously.

"Your Excellency is talking about Rong Su Rong and lifting people? And who is your fiancée? ”

"Naturally, it is Miss Rong who has been married to Miss Rong, who has made a marriage contract with Miss Rong since she was a child, but in the past few years, she fell into the middle of the family, I thought that I was not worthy of Miss Rong and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but I didn't expect Uncle Rong to be righteous and determined to fulfill the marriage contract, in this case, how can I be sorry for Miss Rong?" Ye Qiu said in a loud voice, and then said solemnly to Hongzhi, "So this girl, don't come to pester me in the future, I will never make a mistake." ”
