"Xiao called Hanako, and said that you didn't steal it, you clearly stole it."

"I didn't, it was given to me by someone, I wasn't called Hanako, and I didn't have a ...... Didn't steal anything again. ”

"Ha, you see, she herself admits to stealing things, she's just a little flower child who steals things!"

As soon as Bai Yanran got out of the carriage, she saw Tong'er surrounded by a group of children, the girl was still dressed like that day, her hair was meticulously tied behind her head, and the clothes on her body were also sewn with patches everywhere.

It's just that she is embarrassed at the moment, and the clothes at her knees are torn, but she has been protecting the string of sugar gourds in her hands, and she is being pushed and stumbled by other children.

"You monkeys, you want to beg for a fight, don't you?"

The little girl roared with her hands on her hips, and the group of children ran fast when they saw that Tong'er was supported by someone, and they disappeared in the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Tong'er saw them hold back the tears in her eyes, got up from the ground with a red face, and lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.

Bai Yanran took out a handkerchief and bent down to wipe the dust off her face. Tong'er blinked, two tears still fell, she said aggrievedly: "I really didn't steal the sugar gourd, a lady suddenly fainted in front of me in the morning, I went to the hospital to help her find a doctor, and the sugar gourd was given to me by the lady after she woke up." ”

After a pause, her little head lowered a little more, and whispered: "Grandmother was very angry when she found out about stealing the money bag last time, and my grandmother has already said that I will never steal again, otherwise, otherwise I will never grow tall." ”

Bai Yanran just smiled and nodded, "I believe in you." ”

Tong'er peeked at her, and then relaxed her body slightly. Bai Yanran took her hand and walked into Ji'an Hall and asked, "Is your grandmother's health better?" ”

A smile appeared on Tong'er's lips, and she nodded again and again: "Doctor Sun's medical skills are good, grandmother's body is already well, and Doctor Sun said that we will be able to go home tomorrow." Grandmother was also in a hurry to go home, saying that she would do more embroidery work to pay off your silver taels. ”

Bai Yanran smiled and said nothing, and only followed Tong'er into Ji'an Hall. It's noon at the moment, and there aren't many people in Ji'an Hall, but the guy said that Dr. Sun has gone out for a consultation, and Dr. Sun has been missing for the past few days, and he went out early in the morning today, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

When the two entered the backyard, they saw Tong'er's grandmother helping the men dry the herbs in the yard. Tong'er let go of Bai Yanran's hand and ran over, holding a sugar gourd to offer treasures and said, "Grandmother, grandmother, this sugar gourd is for you to eat." ”

Tong'er's grandmother Zou was stunned when she saw Tong'er's appearance, and then frowned and scolded: "How old are your children, why don't you look like a girl at all." Where did I go again, even my clothes are torn. ”

She didn't look at the string of hard-won sugar gourds, but only squatted down to look at Tong'er's torn pants, as if she was worried about how to sew them.

Tong'er flattened her mouth and said unrelentingly: "Grandmother, can you taste the sugar gourd first, I specially brought it to you." ”

Zou Shi noticed the sugar gourd in her hand at this time, but her brows were furrowed tighter, and her tone was a little more stern.

"Where did this come from? Where did you get the money to buy sugar gourds, it won't be ......"

She didn't finish the rest of the words, but Bai Yanran heard the suspicion in it, and stepped forward to explain: "Tong'er said that this is a thank you gift that she got for helping a lady. ”

Zou saw the two people not far away, and he couldn't care about the origin of the sugar gourd for a while, so he hurriedly patted the crumbs on his hands and asked solemnly: "Miss Bai, why are you here, are you here to find Dr. Sun?" ”

Bai Yanran shook her head and replied: "Tong'er is a good and filial child, she was said by other children to be stolen sugar gourd just now, and her clothes were also torn when she was pushed down, but she has been protecting the sugar gourd, such a treasure, it turned out to be given to you." ”

Zou looked at Tong'er in a daze, Tong'er was a little aggrieved and cautious: "Grandmother has to drink so many bitter medicines every day, Tong'er wants to let grandmother taste the sweet sugar gourd, and wants to make grandmother happy." So when the lady asked me what I wanted, I said I wanted a string of sugar gourds. ”

Zou Shi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't stop touching her hair while hugging Tong'er, and it took a while to calm down and say: "Good boy, good boy." ”

After that, Zou avoided Bai Yanran a little embarrassed, turned his back and touched the moist corners of his eyes, turned his head and said softly to Tong'er: "Good boy, grandmother doesn't like to eat sugar gourds, you can eat it yourself." ”

Seeing Su Xin running to tease Tong'er again, the two laughed and ran away, Bai Yanran said to the Zou family: "Actually, I came to you specifically today, and I don't know what to call it?" ”

Zou pulled the corners of his clothes uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "Old Zou family, Miss can call it casually." ”

Bai Yanran bowed her head and said, "Aunt Zou family, I heard Tong'er say that there is no one else in your family, only you and Tong'er are left to rely on each other." ”

Zou's body stiffened, and he only nodded silently. Bai Yanran sighed and said, "I don't intend to expose people's scars, but Tong'er is not small now, she is already a big girl, and she can't always be treated like this." And Aunt Zou is not in good health, you can only make your grandparents barely eat and clothe by doing embroidery work, which is really not a long-term solution. ”

Zou looked embarrassed, but still said: "Miss, don't worry, the old body will definitely pay back the silver taels for medical treatment these days even if he is a cow and a horse." ”

Bai Yanran shook her head and said: "I have already said that this matter is just a gesture for His Royal Highness King An, and he does not need you to be a cow or a horse to repay the money."

What I just said doesn't mean that, it's just that the meeting of Pingshui is fate. I like Tong'er's child again, so I want to ask Aunt Zou if she would like to go back to the Bai family with me to do things? ”

Seeing that Zou was stunned, Bai Yanran continued: "My father is the head of the household department, and my brother is also an official in the court, so he is not a high-ranking nobleman, but the family also needs dozens of servants.

My mother happened to lack a mother to help take care of things at home, so I thought of you. At that time, Tong'er can also eat and live in the house together, but she is not considered a writer, and when she grows up in the future, she will decide for herself to stay free, how about it? ”

Zou thought it would be difficult to refuse, and he was afraid that Bai Yanran would see something, so he had to say: "Thank you, old man, for your kindness, but I, I still have to go back and think about it." ”

Bai Yanran was not annoyed, her resistance could be seen from the Zou family's insistence on going home before, and it would be strange if she could agree today, so she only said: "Okay, I'll visit my home in two days, and it's not too late for you to reply to me then." ”

Before the Zou family could refuse, he heard the guy on the side shout: "Young master, you are back." ”

Bai Yanran turned her head and saw Sun Mingzhe looking depressed, and when she looked up and saw Bai Yanran, she was stunned, and then her eyes lit up. He almost rushed over, suddenly made a big salute to Bai Yanran, and said with a red face: "Miss Bai, I have a reluctant request below, I want to ask Miss Bai to help me find someone." ”

When Bai Yanran said that she was going back, Tong'er was still quite reluctant, and Su Xin also touched the little girl's cheek and said: "Take good care of yourself and your grandmother, and if you encounter too many people in the future, you will run away, you little girl should be clever, don't let yourself suffer." ”

The two of them walked out of Ji'an Hall from the front hall, and they were greeted by two ladies who came to consult, and their eyes were glued to Bai Yanran.

After Bai Yanran left, the two got together and muttered, talking about King An's generosity in the palace yesterday. For a long time, the rumors that His Royal Highness King An was forced to marry have been self-defeating, and the story about Ji Lingyun naturally added to it.

Such a conversation is naturally not just an internal exchange in the homes of hundreds of officials, but in just one day, everyone in Beijing knows about it, and Shu Yue naturally knows it.

These days, she can't help but suffer from gossip, and there is a Zuo Chengan who doesn't know what to do to entangle her day by day, which makes her overwhelmed.

Holding her breath, Shu Yue never returned to the house she bought, and stayed in the small broken inn. Now Zuo Chengan is also living in the room next to her, and she doesn't even bother to get out of the door, and she is either stunned or stroking the piano to relieve boredom in the room every day.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, she was even more impetuous. finally went out for a walk, and heard the news again, and immediately turned pale with anger, and even the oncoming carriage almost failed to avoid it, and Zuo Cheng'an, who was at a loss, hurriedly pulled her away.

Although Shu Yue was a little frightened, looking at Zuo Cheng'an with an eager face, a thought suddenly came to her, and she softened herself and fell into Zuo Cheng'an's arms.

Zuo Cheng'an was really anxious that the six gods had no master, and when he picked up Shu Yue, he was anxious like a headless fly, Shu Yue said "weakly" in his arms: "Zuo Gongzi doesn't have to worry, the slave family is born with this heart disease, and it's okay." It's just that I've been feeling a little uncomfortable lately, and it's okay to go back and rest. ”

Zuo Cheng'an was already sweating profusely when he brought people back to the inn, and when he saw that Shu Yue was still wilting, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Why don't I ask a doctor to come, there are many famous doctors in Beijing, maybe there is a way to cure your heart disease."

Shu Yue shook her head, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and the tears of the beauty were really pitiful to me.

"The slave family is a heart disease and needs heart medicine to treat it, even if the clever doctor is useless. It's just that...... Forget it, Zuo Gongzi still don't care about me, Shu Yue is a lonely life, why bother others. ”

Zuo Chengan really went up and immediately asked: "Shu Yue, if you have any knots, you might as well tell me, maybe I can have a way to help you." ”

Shu Yue glanced at him affectionately, then turned her head again, and politely refused: "No, Zuo Gongzi, I can't drag you down, forget it." ”

Zuo Chengan was eager to show his heart as evidence, and anxiously expressed his intentions.

"Shu Yue, don't say that, I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as you say it, I won't give up the sword mountain and the sea of fire."

In the end, Shu Yue couldn't match Zuo Cheng'an's true feelings, so she had to say: "After you left, I was coerced by gangsters in Hongshui Garden and almost lost my life, but fortunately I was rescued by His Royal Highness King An. If that villain is really allowed to succeed, Shu Yue will definitely rather die than give in! ”

Zuo Chengan was already haunted by the failure to rescue Shu Yue back then, and when he heard the thrill at that time, he was even more remorseful.

Shu Yue looked at his expression, and then said: "Shu Yue has always kept in mind the life-saving grace of the day, and I only wish to repay the great kindness of the prince when I am a cow and a horse in the future." It's just that Shu Yue's status is humble, and it is reasonable for the prince to be prejudiced, and now he just wants to say thank you to the prince in person. ”

Zuo Chengan never expected Shu Yue's heart knot to be this, he naturally didn't want Shu Yue to have anything to do with a person like King An, but when he saw the expectation and haggard appearance in Shu Yue's eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you can take care of your body with peace of mind, and leave this matter to me." ”
