Deliberately staggered lunch time to come to Jinxiu Building is still overcrowded. In the summer heat, I couldn't even feel the slightest heat in the lobby.

Xue Zi saw Su Xiangsi at a glance in front of the counter, and couldn't hide the joy on her face, so she hurriedly greeted her: "Why did the third lady come in person, just send someone to report it." ”

"I was bored in the house, thinking that the crispy pickled radishes in Jinxiulou were the most appetizing and refreshing in the summer, so I wanted to come and take some back." Su Xiangsi looked around the lobby, there were a lot of readers, and there was no place to stay.

"Take the third lady to find a quiet corner to rest and serve a pot of tea. I'm going to load some myself. Xue Zi greeted Xiao Er and went to the backyard.

The identity of the distinguished guest who can be personally received by the shopkeeper is not trivial, and the shopkeeper respectfully invites Su Xiangsi to a remote and inconspicuous position.

"I have seen a lot of people reading today, but there are a lot more than in the past." Su Xiangsi looked at the lobby from time to time, and although it was noisy, she could still vaguely hear each other discussing articles.

"The third lady doesn't know, and the autumn is coming, and the capital is full of people who come to catch the exam. The rooms in this inn are not supplied, and the Guangnawen Pavilion is full of these talents every day. ”

Su Xiangsi shook the fan in his hand and nodded, and Liu Wu stuffed the broken silver to the shopkeeper: "I'm tired, there are many guests, you can get busy." ”

The shopkeeper weighed the amount in his hand, and his heart was happy, and the reward was more than the monthly money: "Thank you Miss Three, if you need it, just ask the small one." ”

Spring and autumn are important ways for students to rewrite for their families, and some people even spend years catching up with the exam and fail to get ahead.

Children from bitter cold families need to spend a lot of money to give their children to Beijing to take the exam. I came to the capital in advance to make more friends and get familiar with the environment of the examination room in Beijing.

If you can make friends with nobles in the capital and recommend you to a certain official and accept him as a colleague, then it is also a good future.

Guangna Wenge specially discusses articles for all students, and when there are more people, they will always be able to discuss from other people's opinions and be able to suddenly open up.

There are already a lot of people in the capital, and these students enter Beijing a month early, which makes them even more crowded, and some of them must still be on the way.

It was difficult to get out of the house, and when he was interested in shopping, Su Xiangsi sent the groom back to the house first.

Su Xiangsi didn't lack anything, and he couldn't use up the good things in the bamboo courtyard. There are many people on the street, and they can't help but be crowded, and they walk a little slowly, and the catkins are nervous to protect their surroundings.

I just bought some rare small ornaments from the stall, and Su Xiangsi was caught by a figure after walking a few steps.

"Third Miss, help me! I don't want to die! "It's a thin girl in a torn sackcloth with whip marks all over her arms. The face is full of stains, and it is difficult to see the face.

Both hands tightly grabbed Su Xiangsi's sleeves, leaving heavy marks.

"Where did ...... come from?"

Before Liu Wu could scold, he was stopped by Su Xiangsi's eyes and swallowed the second half of the sentence. The young lady's eyes were clearly about to be in charge to the end.

Su Xiangsi pulled his sleeves back, picked up the crying girl, and asked softly, "I don't know how the girl is, what happened in broad daylight?" ”

Not far away, on the street, several tall, fierce-looking and hideous-looking men were rampaging through the street with wooden sticks in their hands.

The little girl became even more frightened, crying and hiding behind Su Xiangsi, and kept chanting: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back." ”

"Who are you, be less nosy! Hand them over! ”

"Don't think that hiding behind others will protect you!"

"Come out honestly, we can still surround your life."

"This is a mistake made by the house slave in the house, this young lady should not be nosy."

Su Xiangsi thought for a while, this is someone else's family matter, and it is really not good to be nosy. The thin girl saw Su Xiangsi's hesitation, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times and cried.

"My father died last month, and the little daughter had no money to do two funerals, so she could only be sold as a house slave...... ...... to me ...... to me," he cried so hard that he couldn't stop sobbing.

"Say it well, don't cry yet. If you do something unreasonable, I will make your decision. Su Xiangsi's heart beat when she heard this, her face showed pity, and she pinched the handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears on her face.

"The little girl didn't dare to disobey, she was beaten by her wife during the day, and she was humiliated by the master at night. They even wanted to sell me, and I was so scared that I escaped. Third Miss, save me, I'll be beaten to death if I get caught! ”

The more the girl talked, the more excited she became, holding Su Xiangsi and refusing to let go. Liu Fu looked at the heart and throbbed, Miss's material is not cheap.

"Don't talk nonsense, take it back, don't make Madame wait for a long time!" The man who took the lead disdainfully spoke, it was useless for anyone to stop him today, and he stretched out his hand to push Su Xiangsi away.

Liu Wu protected Su Xiangsi behind him and raised his chin: "My young lady is the third lady of General Su's mansion, dare to be rude and be careful of your little life." ”

Several big men hesitated, and they didn't dare to provoke General Su's mansion if they dared a few of them. But the things that the government has to do must be done.

Su Xiangsi also knew that they couldn't help themselves, and they were not too embarrassed: "Here are fifty taels to take back to your wife, if she has other opinions, she can come to the door and tell me in person." ”

"This ...... Miss Three, this is not in accordance with the rules. "This silver is heart-warming, and the little domestic servant can't earn fifty taels in half a life, but it's not easy to handle things.

"Let's each take a step back, if the lady embarrasses you, you can come to me to seek justice. Liu Wu gave an extra fifty taels to apologize to his wife. Su Xiangsi smiled shallowly, but his tone was firm and could not be refused.

The big man greedily stared at the silver ticket in Liu Wu's hand, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"You're lucky to have met Miss Three. We also have to give Miss Three this face. After taking the silver ticket, he beckoned his brother to leave, and when he had money, he went to squander it first.

"Thank you, Miss Three, thank you, Miss Three." Escaping from danger is equivalent to picking up a life.

Su Xiangsi let out a breath helplessly, he wanted to go to Guangna Wenge and encounter this incident again, but he couldn't go today: "Take this silver and live a good life." ”

didn't take two steps, and the skirt was pulled again: "Third Miss, please take me in, I'm homeless, and the old man can't let me go easily." Third Miss, let me repay you as a cow and a horse by your side. ”

The girl's figure is really thin, her eyes full of tears are stubborn and helpless looking at Su Xiangsi, and the joints of her hands pulling the dress are faintly white.

Su Xiangsi and Liu Wu glanced at each other, and Liu Wu nodded without a trace.

The onlookers had not dispersed, and Su Xiangsi didn't want to waste more time on this matter, so he took it back to the house to settle down before making plans.

After asking a few more words on the way, I learned that this woman was an ordinary farmer in the capital, named Ning Tingting. My mother gave birth with two dead bodies, and my father was beaten to death by bullies last month. Ben is still a small family and is in tatters.

Following behind Su Xiangsi, she was careful not to look around, she was happy and nervous, she didn't dare to think about it when she could enter General Su's mansion.

Rosin took Ning Tingting to wash and change into clean clothes, and the whole person was indeed a lot brighter, delicate and smart. If you raise your body and grow back, you will also be a little beauty.

"Thank you for the grace of Miss Three, Tingting has been loyal to Miss Three all her life and served her with heart."

Su Xiangsi pursed her lips and hid the unknown emotions in her eyes. Quite helpless: "Listen to the bamboo courtyard has no rules for kneeling, you get up first." After that, you will work in the yard, and when the time is right, I will let you go out and live your own life. You take her to familiarize yourself with the rules. ”

Ning Tingting was very relieved when she got Su Xiangsi's words, as long as she was not kicked out of the house, she was willing to do anything.

"How did Miss pick up an unidentified person and come back?" When everyone went out, Rosin asked in confusion, two people went out, and three people came back.

Su Xiangsi glanced out of the window and said leisurely: "We don't understand her identity, she is no stranger to me at all." ”
