Chapter 699: Calling You Uncle is to save face
already knows the whereabouts of Shang Lao, and Shangguan Yu and his wife are in the mood to go shopping every day.
In addition to purchasing some special products that were not available in the Eastern Han Dynasty, more often, the two were looking for business opportunities.
To be precise, it was Bai Ling who was observing the market situation.
Since it is planned to open the trade route of the Western Han Kingdom, it is naturally impossible to simply do a business, otherwise it will not be a long-term solution.
But every night, Bai Ling went to visit Shang Lao.
I don't dare to prepare the food for fear that the taste will be too heavy, but some snacks and drinks are a must.
"Help! Someone robbed the people's daughter! Which hero saves the little woman. β
Bai Ling and his wife were selecting ore today, so they were not in a prosperous area, but they didn't want to encounter such a thing.
The couple looked at each other and sat idly by, ignoring them.
But help......
"Robbing people's daughters in broad daylight, where is the law of the Western Han Dynasty?" Bai Ling snorted coldly, held down Shangguan Yu's hand, and didn't let him move.
Although the royal family of the Western Han Kingdom doubted the identities of the two, they must also know the relationship between the Han Wangfu and the Duan family.
Therefore, Bai Ling didn't want Shangguan Yu to use force, she could pretend to know kung fu, and then deal with the other party.
Let's say that the man who was holding the girl's hand heard some familiar voices and turned around suddenly.
"Nine...... The Ninth Master? Bai Ling changed his name stiffly.
No matter why the Nine Princes caught the girl, Bai Ling couldn't call the Nine Princes directly, lest there be gossip, then she would offend people.
"Is that you?" The girl also looked at Bai Ling with a look of surprise, and then pointed to the Nine Princes and asked, "Do you know this bearded man?" β
The Nine Princes have been on the battlefield all year round, so he continued to wear a beard, which looked more intimidating.
But it was the first time that he was called a beard, and his eyes couldn't help but be unkind.
"It's you, what a coincidence!" Bai Ling smiled a little confused.
The girl was the fellow who took a ride on the road when she came to the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty.
When they meet in this situation, whether it is fate or bad fate, Bai Ling can't tell at this moment.
"Since they are all acquaintances, it is better to sit down and talk, it is not suitable here." Shangguan Yu said on the side.
The girl was swept by Shangguan Yu's cold eyes, and subconsciously shrunk her neck, but she was angry at the Nine Princes: "Hmph, don't let go of this girl's hand quickly, why do you want to continue to be indecent?" β
The Nine Princes shook his hand vigorously, only to feel that his palms were hot, and even his face was a little panicked.
The first time I grabbed a woman like this, I was obviously catching a thief, but I was said to be rude by the other party, which was really shocking.
And the girl recognized Bai Ling and his wife, and the nine princes were also willing to give personal favors and sit down to talk.
A few people found a restaurant, since Bai Ling and his wife want to be reconcilers, they must be the ones who do it today.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric.
Looking at the girl's embarrassed appearance, it is estimated that there is no silver.
And the Nine Princes ......
Bai Ling's gaze inadvertently swept over the money bag on his waist, this one was also a poor man, and he only had to carve a poor word on his face.
The husband and wife came to the Western Han Kingdom for the first time, and even if they tasted some delicacies, it was impossible to eat all the restaurants, so after asking the two guests to no avail, they instructed the men to serve a signature dish each.
Of course, there is also good wine.
"Tell me, what's going on? The Ninth Master will never be a bully who robs the people's daughters, and you won't wronged people, right? Bai Ling said softly, someone had to get up first.
The Nine Princes and the girl glanced at each other, and they both snorted angrily.
The girl's movements like this look delicate and cute, but the beard on the face of the Ninth Prince, with such a demeanor, Bai Ling twitched the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.
It's really ...... It's too inconsistent.
"His money bag fell off, and I just picked it up, so I kindly sent it to him. Not to mention that the gold should be praised, or thanked. This is a good person, when he saw me holding the money bag, he didn't give me a chance to speak, and he directly sent me to see an official! The girl said, glaring at the Nine Princes fiercely.
Now that I have acquaintances to support me, I have to express my displeasure.
"It's you who don't explain." The Ninth Prince retorted.
"Uncle, you are walking so fast, I am a person who has not eaten for a few days, I want to squeeze through the crowd to send you, I am tired and breathless, where is the opportunity to speak?"
"Ben...... Am I that old? "What the Nine Princes care about is this problem.
The girl was obviously stunned, and nodded very seriously: "Calling you uncle, it's already in my eyes on the face of the two friends, otherwise you can call you uncle, or even uncle, old man!" β
The last three words, the girl gritted her teeth.
"I don't know children!" The eyes of the Nine Princes were breathing fire, but he thought that he might really misunderstand the other party, so he endured his temper.
"If you don't meet me, I will settle accounts with you." The girl slapped the table vigorously, got up and walked to the Nine Princes, pointed at his nose and shouted, "Do you know what the consequences will be if I was almost sent to prison by you?" β
"The pure one is self-purifying, what are you afraid of?" The Ninth Prince resisted the urge to break the finger that was as white as mutton fat, and replied impatiently.
"Wrong!" The girl said angrily: "Even if the man is sent to prison, the government will beat him first without asking." Especially if the nobles send it in, even if the bones are hard, they will be bent into tricks. And when the woman goes in, even if she can keep her innocence, her reputation will be ruined, you almost killed me, you are revenge! β
The Nine Princes obviously didn't expect this kind of result, and he hadn't experienced it.
looked suspiciously at Bai Ling and his wife, and when he saw that both of them nodded, he couldn't help but apologize in his heart.
A girl's family, whether it ruins innocence or reputation, means that it can no longer be tolerated in the world.
He almost killed an innocent girl.
"Here you go." The ninth prince threw the money bag on the girl, and he would not apologize, but under the girl's angry gaze, he said coldly: "Suppress the shock." β
Bai Ling thought that the girl would throw it back with a lot of backbone, but who knew that the girl poured all the silver in the money bag into her money bag, so she threw the empty money bag back.
"I don't accept your apology, but it is necessary to be shocked. Such a small amount of money is not enough for me to buy a few pairs of medicines, and this time it is really kind to do a loss-making thing. The girl sat back in her place with a huff, but her eyes were noticeably brighter.
Giving a thumbs up to the girl, Bai Ling praised her for her 'sanity'.
People are poor to a certain extent, and sometimes they don't have to fight for a breath.
Shangguan Yu held Bai Ling's hand without a trace, and pressed her gesture, and Bai Ling was shocked to realize what he had done.
However, the girl did not have a special reaction, and winked at Bai Ling, and a tacit understanding of 'you understand me' arose.
The misunderstanding between the two was resolved, and although it was not friendly, it was also over for the time being.
"Didn't you come home? Got into trouble on the road again? Seeing the girl gobbling up, Bai Ling poured her a cup of tea and asked.
After the girl poured down the tea, she thanked her, and said with some grievances: "I can't go back, my father forced me to marry, and I escaped under the cover of my brother." It was also my bad luck that not long after I went out, I met a kidnapper, and my silver was also looted. β
"And what are you going to do in the future?" Bai Ling asked again, just subconsciously caring about this somewhat sad fellow.
"Let's take one step at a time." The girl was optimistic, "Let's go and see what my fiancΓ© looks like, if he is not bad, even if he is lame or stupid, I can consider getting married." Anyway, you can still run with the dowry in the future, otherwise this day will be really difficult. β
