"Then I'll be waiting for you tonight by the pond in the west of the city. You have to come earlier. Linglong tilted her head and said to Xiao Yi.

"Well, I'm sure I'll be there before you. Xiao Yi gently scratched Linglong's nose.

"What you said, if Linglong arrives, you haven't arrived yet, hum!" Linglong made a look like she was going to beat Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, called the subordinates who followed Linglong, and asked them to carry the lanterns and send the young lady home.

I'll just come over after dinner tonight, it's a big deal to wait a long time, otherwise this little guy will have to make trouble again, Xiao Yi thought as he walked to the palace.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came into Xiao Yi's ears, it turned out to be a homeless little girl who snatched a bun from a businessman to eat, and was helplessly scolded by the businessman.

"What are you doing? Won't so many people have a guilty conscience when they bully a little girl?" Xiao Yi said indifferently as he looked at them.

Those vendors saw that Xiao Yi Qiyu was extraordinary, and his clothes were not ordinary people, so they seemed to welcome him.

"Brother Gongzi, don't you know, this thing, I don't know when it came, as long as it was hungry, it would rob us of the food we sold everywhere, we were a small businessman, how could it withstand such a toss, not to mention that it stained my food, and scared away my guests. The vendor had the expression of being a victim.

"A little girl's family, how much can I eat from you, as for treating her like this? Look at the injury on her face, it must have been hit by you!" Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

"This ...... We were also unintentional, at first we were kind enough to let her leave, but she didn't listen, and we had to do that. ”

This is the money she paid for everything she eats with you, so don't bother her anymore. Xiao Yi took out a silver ingot from the money bag, looked at the vendors coldly and said.

The vendor took a look, a piece of silver, how many buns do you have to sell, today I met a rich man's son, I can make a lot of money. The vendor grinned and caught the silver ingot.

Xiao Yi saw the vendor's silver leave, so he walked up to the little girl and squatted down.

"Are you okay, do you still have a home, or do you still have relatives?" Xiao Yi looked at her and said.

"I'm hungry. Xiao Yi saw her holding her legs, trembling slightly, and muttering softly.

Xiao Yi immediately went to the vendor, asked for two buns and came back, and gently handed them to the little girl sitting on the ground.

"Thank you!" the little girl said, took the bun and immediately devoured it. After a while, two buns were already in the belly.

"Still hungry?"

"No, thank you today, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

"The girl doesn't have to care. After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he took out all the silver and copper coins in the money bag and handed them to her.

I saw that the little girl was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. "Thank you so much today, how dare I accept more. ”

"I don't mean to give you charity, it's not easy for a girl to be away from home, if you really want to repay me, shouldn't you let yourself live first?" Xiao Yi looked at her and said thoughtfully.

"Do you need a servant? I can go to work, but I can't accept the money you give me directly. ”

Xiao Yi looked at her and found that although this girl was very dirty all over her body, her eyes were particularly clear.

"Okay, you come with me. Xiao Yi said.

If you leave her here, she will definitely be beaten up often in the future, and it just so happened that my uncle said that he wanted to take a few people with him, so it should be okay to let her go.

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen. ”

"But do you still have family?"

"It's just me. ”

"Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Xuan'er, and I don't have a surname. ”

Xiao Yi was shocked, he was the same as me, is this considered sympathy?

"Okay, Xuan'er, when you go to the palace, you first learn from the previous subordinates, I will say hello to them and let them find some simple jobs for you to do." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, young master, I can do what others can do. ”

Do you have nothing to do with me so soon? But it's okay to be jealous of the other subordinates of the province.

"Okay. ”

Xuan'er followed Xiao Yi, and after walking for a while, she arrived at the palace.

"Hello young master!" The palace housekeeper saw Xiao Yi coming, so he immediately greeted him.

Xiao Yi nodded lightly and said, "You take her down, find clean clothes, and then arrange her residence, just like the next people, she will be the servant of the palace in the future, remember not to tell others that I brought it, go ahead." ”

"Thank you, young master. Xuan'er bent down slightly and said.

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Yi turned around and walked towards the account room.

"Is Mr. Bookkeeper here?"

"No, Mr. Bookkeeper said that there was something at home and that he had taken three days off. The servant said.

"Well, you go and give me last month's account book" Xiao Yi finished speaking, and then found a stool and sat down.

The subordinate rummaged through the cabinet, found a notebook, and handed it to Xiao Yi, "Young master, give it." ”

"Well, you go down first. ”

Since Master Wang found out that Xiao Yi still has the ability to do business, he slowly took care of some of his things to Xiao Yi, hoping that he can assist the Wang family's business to become bigger and bigger in the future.

Xiao Yi opened last month's bill and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he seemed to have something to figure out.

"It seemed a bit of a problem last month. Xiao Yi said softly.

"What's the problem!"

"Uncle?" Xiao Yi looked at when he heard the voice.

"Why are you here all of a sudden, is something wrong?"

"No, I just had a whim and wanted to look at last month's bill. ”

"Hmm, you mean this?" Xiao Yi raised the bill in his hand and shook it at Master Wang.

"What do you think, is there something wrong?"

"Well, I'm just checking the accounts, so that I can continue to arrange for the purchase of goods in the east of the city. Xiao Yi smiled at the old man. If there is no confirmed evidence, it is just to prove that you are capable and can see it, but it has no effect, so it is okay not to say it, and it is not too late to say it when you find it out in the future.

"Hmm. Master Wang nodded.

"Uncle, give you the ledger, I've read it. Xiao Yi handed the account book to Master Wang.

Xiao Yi saw that Master Wang took the account book and said, "Uncle, if there is nothing to do, I will go down first." ”

"That, Xiao Yi, tonight, your aunt asked you and other brothers and sisters to accompany her to enjoy fireworks and eat rice balls. Master Wang said.

"Well, uncle, I have an appointment tonight. Xiao Yi said apologetically.

"Let's have an appointment with the girl of the Li family. Master Wang said with a smile. "At your age, you should have married a wife and had children, but do you have a favorite woman? I think Linglong is not young now, and you have also grown up together, what do you think of her?"

"Uncle, you're joking, I just want to help you do business well, and I don't have any thoughts about marrying a wife and having children. Moreover, I just think of Linglong as my sister. Xiao Yi lowered his eyes.

"Okay, I don't have the right to interfere too much in your own affairs, as long as you don't regret it and don't lose it, you will know what is precious. Master Wang sighed helplessly.

"Thank you uncle for your concern, I will think about it. If my uncle is fine, I'll go first, and I'll have to go to the appointment in the evening. ”

"Well, go ahead, don't play too late".

"Yes, uncle. ”
