Chapter 45: Her Thanks
Knowing that the shopkeeper and Ji Yanning were in the same group, the woman in yellow naturally didn't get too entangled.
She let go of Ji Yanning's hand, jumped out of the door of the jade shop with a leap, quickly squeezed into the crowd on the street, and quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
The little ones were trying to catch up, but they couldn't find her.
"Seems to be a repeat offender. Ji Yanning said.
The shopkeeper saw that the woman in yellow was doing well, and knew that the little girl would definitely not be able to catch up, so he asked them to come back and continue to greet the guests, so that they could be more vigilant and not have any more thefts.
Ji Yanning finally accepted the hosta sent by the shopkeeper and walked out of the jade shop.
Recalling what happened just now, Ying'er was very angry.
"That female thief is too arrogant!" Ying'er said angrily, "Not only stealing things, but also blaming others, I don't know how many people have been harmed by her before!
Ji Yanning didn't take it to heart: "There are many people in this world, and I won't feel strange if I see a lot." ”
Ying'er nodded, although she felt uncomfortable, but the person also ran away, and she was helpless no matter how angry she was.
Because he was about to set off for the second time, Ji Yanning repurchased some things for the road, and there were still five or six days to go from Hengcheng to Cangzhou.
"Miss, look!" Ying'er, who was following Ji Yanning, suddenly gently pulled Ji Yanning's sleeve and pointed to the woman in yellow not far away, "She wants to steal things again!"
Ji Yanning looked in the direction Ying'er pointed, and sure enough, he saw the woman in yellow in the jade shop just now.
The woman in yellow was standing in front of a stall, next to a somewhat fat man.
The man, dressed in a brocade robe, looked like a wealthy man, and was picking up what to buy at the stall, not noticing that his money bag was being targeted.
Ying'er said: "Obviously he looks quite handsome, but his hands and feet are not clean!"
The woman in yellow silently ripped off the man's money bag and quickly tucked it into her sleeve, and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Ji Yanning and Ying'er.
It's really unlucky, she saw it twice!
When she was in the jade shop, the shopkeeper believed her, but on the street, how many people could believe her? Thinking of this, Yuan Jiaojiao raised her chin defiantly towards Ji Yanning without fear.
Although she only arrived in this small county town today, human nature is the same everywhere.
Ji Yanning walked forward and came to her: "I'm stealing things again." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao said: "What, do you want to see righteousness and courage or do the right thing for heaven?"
"You're doing a good job. Ji Yanning said, "But it's ...... to make a living from this."
"I don't need you to care. Yuan Jiaojiao interrupted Ji Yanning's words, she hated those who began to admonish her at every turn, she looked at Ji Yanning, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a sarcastic smile, "If you are so kind, why don't you help me, give me a few thousand taels of silver, and I won't have to steal other people's things." ”
"You are presumptuous!" said Ying'er at her.
Ji Yanning said: "Okay, then can you return the money bag to its original owner now?"
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning in surprise, isn't this person having a problem with his brain?
She said: "Sure enough, the young lady of the rich family is willful. However, a few thousand taels of silver just want me to wash my hands, and this business is too much for me. ”
is just a young lady who doesn't know the suffering of the world, and she doesn't have the time to continue to entangle with her.
After she finished speaking, she planned to leave, but she didn't expect to be grabbed by Ji Yanning's wrist.
"You let go!"
Yuan Jiaojiao didn't expect her to start directly, her brows frowned, and she tried hard to get rid of her, but Ji Yanning's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free at all.
Thinking of this kind of boudoir lady who has read two books of sages, if she really wants to send herself to the yamen prison gate, wouldn't she be a dignified plum blossom thief with no face?
She has never planted so many cases, so naturally she will not fall into the hands of this young lady with a strange temperament!
"What do you want to do, are you rich and great, can you bully people if you have money!" she shouted.
Her voice was so loud that the passers-by on the street looked at her in slight surprise.
Seeing so many people looking over, Yuan Jiaojiao felt that the people here were really simple and simple, and she was surprised to hear that the rich were bullying the poor, shouldn't she be angry?
Why are they just standing stupidly?
After being quiet for a while, an aunt on the side of the road finally asked, "...... Why did I bully you?"
Yuan Jiaojiao thought that someone had finally reacted, so she said with a bitter face: "She not only slandered me for stealing things, but also planned to force me to be a slave, and wanted to trick me into signing a deed of sale to be her maid, I didn't agree, so I dragged me alive and ...... alive, and wanted her maid to teach me a lesson."
She said helplessly, but Ji Yanning still looked at her expressionlessly.
The expressions of the people around him were even more surprised, and they were looking at Yuan Jiaojiao with incomprehensible or complicated eyes.
Why is there still no movement, isn't it bad enough?
Yuan Jiaojiao doubted herself a little.
She gritted her teeth and pretended to be miserable, looking like she was being bullied and dared not speak out: "Who is okay and would be willing to be a maid to serve others......"
"I do, I do!"
"Miss Ji, look at me! I can be your maid!"
"Miss Ji, my daughter is fourteen this year, she has read, she will be popular, and she will serve people!
"My granddaughter is well-behaved and sensible, and the fortune teller says that she can prosper the lord! Let my granddaughter be your maid!"
"Miss Ji, choose my daughter, she will definitely be loyal to you!
"Miss Ji! Look here! This is my niece! Do you think it?!"
A large number of people rushed to Ji Yanning's side, regardless of men, women and children, after pretending to be reserved for a day, they finally couldn't pretend to be able to hold on, so they all came to Ji Yanning's side, trying to make this great benefactor look at him.
Hearing that Ji Yanning wanted to find a maid, everyone was afraid that they would miss the opportunity, so they squeezed forward like crazy, eager to follow Ji Yanning now, and some people even dragged Yuan Jiaojiao out of Ji Yanning's side and pushed out of the crowd.
Yuan Jiaojiao: "......"
Ji Yanning: "......"
Yuan Jiaojiao only regretted that she had provoked Ji Yanning just now, she looked like the head snake in this small county, the female overlord?
So many people are vying to be her maid, how rich her family must be!
Taking advantage of this moment, she turned away.
Ying'er stretched out her hand to block those who wanted to get close to the eldest lady, and shouted at the top of her voice: "My young lady doesn't need a maid anymore!
More and more people came in their direction, Ji Yanning took Ying'er's hand and silently squeezed out of the encirclement, and hurriedly hid aside.
But the female thief who stole just now is gone.
Ji Yanning took Ying'er back to the inn.
She could see clearly that the female thief's light skills were not ordinarily good, and it would be a pity if she was just a thief.
After resting for a few days, Rong Che's injury was already healed, and the wound was scabbed, but it was fine.
Situ Feng said: "I heard that you were seriously injured to save a girl, why didn't you see her come to visit you?"
Rong Che said: "You won't even let the county order see me, how can she visit me?"
Situ Feng said: "There is no thank you gift. ”
"I didn't save her for her thanks. Rong Che said.
As they spoke, Eagle walked into the room from the outside, still holding a box in his hand.
He stepped forward and said, "Master, this is sent by the county order, saying that it was a thank you gift that Miss Ji asked him to hand over, and that it was a thank you to the master for saving him." ”
Situ Feng looked at the small box in Feiying's hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's just such a small box?"
Rong Che was just about to reach out and take it, but when he opened it, there were only three things inside.
Five thousand taels of silver, ointment, and a letter.
The shot was quite generous, Rong Che smiled bitterly.
He opened the letter, took out the letter and unfolded it, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Situ Feng saw that his expression was wrong and asked, "What is written in this letter?"
Rong Che handed the letter to Situ Feng.
Situ Feng took a look, and Junxiu's small characters read: "Su Jiwen doesn't lift it, he only has one son, Ming is Sun Wu's third son, Sun Chengsu." ”
He looked at the contents of the letter in surprise: "Is this really fake? Sun Wu actually raised a son for someone else? Or is it Su Jiwen's son!"
Rong Che frowned: "If it's true, it's really a great secret." ”
Su Jiwen acted arrogantly, no one in his eyes, it can be said that he was very arrogant, because he had no children under his knees, and he was not close to his wife, so almost no one knew what his weakness was, even if he wanted to threaten him, he couldn't find a way at all.
So many people said that he had a hidden disease, but he didn't care.
If what this letter says is true, it is the best way to get Su Jiwen.
Feiying said on the side: "Sun Wu's third son, Sun Chengsu's subordinates, know that he is a gentleman, he has always been arrogant, and he loves to linger in the land of fireworks. ”
Situ Feng said: "This girl feels that the case involves Su Jiwen, so she wrote this letter to help you, this news is worth more than silver!"
Rong Che's brow furrowed even deeper.
Ji Yanning is just a small merchant girl, who has been in Jiangzhou all the year round, how did she learn about these secrets?
Feiying opened the ointment and sniffed it, and said, "This seems to be a gel cream that only exists in the Tai Hospital, and it is a good medicine for scars."
Rong Che took the ointment and sniffed it carefully, the taste was indeed the same as the gel ointment.
He was silent.
Situ Feng was puzzled: "Who is this girl sacred? ”
Rong Che looked up at Feiying: "Is she in the inn?"
Feiying explained: "Miss Ji left Hengcheng early this morning, and I heard the guards of the Ji family say that she went to Cangzhou to see her future husband's family, and she is the Shen family of the Cangzhou scholars. When I left, it was still early, but there were many people at the gate of the city to see them off, and there were still people talking about that magnificent scene in the streets. ”
Cangzhou Shenjia ...... For her, it's a good place to be.
Rong Che pinched the gel cream in his hand, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
