Chapter 17: Ask for the silver
Han Ningxue said secretly, this person came at a really good time.
Successfully escaping from Mrs. Jiang's hands, Han Ningxue came out, and saw a boy in tattered clothes holding his hands, looking at the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw her.
"Miss Cher."
Han Ningxue gestured at him, signaling him to silence, beside him, the Jin family also came out, and when he saw the boy, he recognized the little beggar who didn't know where he came from at a glance, and curiosity flashed in his eyes, "Is he looking for you?" ”
"Well, I've seen him before, I've given him some food, and he said he was here to find his relatives, but I don't know if I found it."
Jin Ping looked at this child, it was a cold day, thinly dressed, there was no meat on his face, his nose was red like a carrot, the whole person was bent over, holding his hands, frozen like a monkey, she felt distressed, and thought to herself, if she had such a child, she would definitely raise him to be white and fat, but in the end, it was not hers, and I don't know who it was, so she was willing to let him run outside alone.
Perhaps, the more she didn't, the more distressed she was, she rubbed her hands and called him, "It's cold outside, you come into the courtyard to talk." ”
Zhang Gu probed the probe, retracted it again, and shook his head, "No, no, I'll just wait here." ”
It seems that he is still a knowledgeable person, and now the Jin family pities him even more. "Have you eaten?"
Zhang Gu shook his head and nodded, "Eat, eat." ”
The longing in his eyes couldn't be hidden, Jin laughed at him, "You kid, I don't know if you have eaten or not, you wait, I'll go back and get you food." ”
As soon as the Jin family left, Han Wenyao came out, and when he saw that it was him, his eyes were slightly dark, and he had a premonition that he might have to go to the city today to do something very important. Just glanced at it, didn't say anything, standing next to Han Ningxue, Han Ningxue nodded her chin outside, and the three of them stood outside, just standing under the wall, stopping the cold wind blowing over, she said, "Say, what's the situation there?" ”
"Miss Xue'er guessed really well, as soon as we revealed the news to Miss Moyu, she took someone to ransom the bracelet."
"Then you're coming to me now, is it the Moyu girl who redeemed the bracelet?"
"Of course. Ahem, how else to say, Miss Xue'er is accurate, the pawnshop owner really escaped, escaped overnight, fortunately we were prepared, chased them for a few hours, and tied people up while they were resting, and people hid in our temple, just waiting for you to go. ”
Han Ningxue pursed her lips and smiled, and said appreciatively: "Okay, good job, this time it will be done, and your benefits are indispensable." Han Ningxue rubbed her hands secretly, it was the first time she did such a thing, she was really a little, cough, a little excited.
"Hey, thank you, Miss." Zhang Gu was very happy, and said: "When the Moyu girl ransomed the bracelet, she went a total of twice, the first time, she came out angrily, and wanted to talk about the unpleasantness, and then went back to the inn, and it didn't take long for her to come out of the inn again, and went directly to the county office, and called the county lord out. ”
When he talked about Boss Xu, his expression was resentful, as if he had a great hatred for him.
"It seems that this Moyu girl is really not an ordinary person, Brother Wen Yao?"
During the whole process, Han Wenyao didn't say a word, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, he always felt that this bracelet was not his, he shouldn't have asked for these silver, five hundred taels is the limit, ordinary people can't earn so much in a few lifetimes, as for the five hundred taels on the IOU, it doesn't matter if you come or not, what I'm afraid of is that I will get into trouble.
Han Ningxue noticed his strange appearance, reached out and tugged at his sleeve again, and asked carefully, "Brother Wenyao, what's wrong with you?" Do you not like what I do? ”
"Not really." He took a deep breath, "I'm afraid, if I provoke Boss Xu, he will be in a hurry, but he can do anything, I'm just worried about your safety." ”
Han Ningxue thought about it and felt that there was some truth, the rabbit was in a hurry and still bitten, he was willing to throw away all his belongings and run around overnight with his family, thinking that he was not going to come back.
At this moment, Jin came over with a hot steamed bun, "You are in a hurry, we have all eaten, you will eat first to cushion your stomach." ”
Zhang Gu took it with great gratitude, took a big bite, and when he swallowed, he almost choked, Gu Buhe 3721, took the tea bowl in Jin's hand, and poured it down. Jin was frightened by his gobbling appearance, "Look at you, the steamed buns are in your hands, can you still run away?" Eat slowly. ”
"Well, thank you, ma'am." Zhang Gu glanced at Han Ningxue, carefully finished eating, and drank the tea in Jin's hand.
Han Ningxue twisted the purse in her hand, which contained a few copper coins, plus a little broken silver, and the rest were spices, mixed in them, a faint fragrance lingered on her fingertips, she looked up, "Mother, didn't you say that you want to learn to embroider a handkerchief?" He is just about to go home, and his family lives on the edge of the county seat, I will go to his house with Brother Wen Yao, why don't you go to the county seat to buy you some good embroidery thread and let Mrs. Jiang teach you? ”
"Then by the way, let's buy a gong bucket for Mrs. Jiang. I'll go back and get the money. After the Jin family finished speaking, she smiled and left, she and Mrs. Jiang, that was really a relationship, the two chatted like sisters, and their relationship was growing day by day, and they almost married Jin Lan.
Han Ningxue's face sank, was she too good to Mrs. Jiang? Only then did they think that she really liked Mrs. Jiang? She didn't want to, but she didn't have time to refuse, because the Jin family didn't expect Han Ningxue to refuse at all, she walked fast and light, Han Ningxue could only sigh at her back and shouted Han Wenyao, "Brother Wenyao." ”
"I'll tell my mother." Han Wenyao went in and came out, just in time to see the Jin family stuffing the broken silver into Han Ningxue's hand, Han Ningxue looked reluctant.
His eyes were slightly dark, and even he felt that Han Ningxue didn't like Mrs. Jiang a little.
Although the winter snow has melted, it is far away, and the place with its back to the sun is still snow-white, and there are people on the path who have already walked out of the path. The three people who had their own thoughts didn't notice it, and not far away, Han Mei and Han Yinyin hid behind the pyre and watched them go in the direction of the county seat.
Han Yinyin asked Han Mei, "Who is that little beggar?" Where are they going? ”
"I don't know, it looks like I'm going into the city." Han Mei replied.
"Into the city? No, we'll have to keep up and see what they're going to do. ”
Han Yinyin hesitated, "It's so far away, the snow has just melted, I don't want to go, besides, when she comes back, I'll just ask her if it's okay, why follow secretly, if you want to follow, it's also above board." ”
With that, she turned and left.
Han Mei's face was a little bad, especially when she heard the words 'sneaky', as if what she was doing was sneaky, so why didn't she say sneaky when she secretly said bad things about Han Xue'er in front of the third young master? Hum!
Han Mei patted the clothes on her body, thinking of the good material at home, she also had to go back and ask her father to buy her one.
didn't speak all the way, Han Ningxue racked her brains to weigh the pros and cons, in front of five hundred taels of silver, is silver important, or safety is important, what if the shopkeeper doesn't dare to retaliate against her? However, people die for money, birds die for food, Boss Xu is a businessman, and it is the nature of businessmen to make profits, in case he wants to fight with her......
When she thought of getting up early when Han Wenyao was lying in the snow covered in blood, she felt that money was not important!
Approaching the broken temple, Han Ningxue stopped, "Brother Wen Yao, you go to the back to watch the wind." ”
