Chapter 40 Seeing Wealth
A few pairs of ill-intentioned eyes gradually lost their patience, and a few people left, but they also stubbornly left one or two.
Wei Jin, who was secretly peeping on the side, was amazed, he had never seen such a sober and calm person. The opinion of her has changed again and again.
After all, Tian Duocai was still only five or six years old, and he quickly lost his patience and urged Tian Ruyue to go home again.
Tian Ruyue looked at the sky, frowned but was not as insistent as before: "Wait a while, if the owner doesn't come, we'll leave." Out of the corner of his eye, he swept vigilantly to the few remaining ill-intentioned watchers.
Tian Duocai was overjoyed when he heard this, and muttered in his mouth: "If someone else lost their purse, they would have been in a hurry, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't find the owner, so they must not care." Third sister, if the owner doesn't come, can you share it with me? ”
Tian Ruyue looked at Tian Duocai, who was a fan of money and wanted to get a piece of the pie, speechlessly, and reached out and pinched his face: "Yes." Seeing him grinning happily, he added evilly: "One penny, I'll share your penny." ”
Looking at his happy little face, he suddenly collapsed, holding back a smile, and touched the black boy in his arms.
Tian Duocai was about to complain about her stinginess, when he suddenly saw two maids who had seen an argument walk in front of them.
Tian Ruyue also saw these two maids, stood up suddenly, and immediately chased after them to block their way. Before they could speak, they asked, "Are you looking for a purse?" ”
The yellow-clothed maid had red and swollen eyes, and immediately replied excitedly: "Did you see it?" ”
The green-clothed maid stared at Tian Ruyue vigilantly and asked, "Could it be that you picked it up?" I saw that she was dressed in coarse old clothes, and she had a simple self-made burden on her body, but the shoes were still new, and the childish child hiding behind her was even more unkempt.
A poor and sour look is still very sloppy!
There was undisguised disgust on his face.
Tian Ruyue looked at the disgusted eyes of the green-clothed maid, and frowned almost undetectably: "I picked up the ......"
"Bring it!"
"Give it back to me!" The two maids interrupted Tian Ruyue's unfinished words in unison.
Tian Ruyue frowned and looked displeased: "If you want a purse, you must answer me a few questions." ”
The green-clothed maid and green lotus stared at her fiercely and asked: "The purse was lost by our young lady, what else do you ask!" I think you have a clear intention of seeing the money and don't want to pay it back! ”
The yellow-clothed maid Qiu Ju glanced at the green clothes disapprovingly, and looked at Tian Ruyue pitifully: "Good sister, the lost purse belongs to our young lady, if you really pick it up, you can return it to us quickly, please." ”
Tian Duocai was so frightened that he hid behind Tian Ruyue and grabbed her clothes.
Tian Ruyue saw that the two of them were singing and arousing the onlookers of the surrounding passers-by, pointing at her, sneering, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she was blackened: "If I don't want to return, I will wait here like a fool to lose the owner?"
I picked up a purse, but who knows if it's your lady's!
I just want to ask a few questions to make sure, one of you wronged me and didn't want to return it, and the other deliberately pretended to be pitiful so that I was accused by others, then I will be a villain, I didn't pick up the purse! ”
He bowed his head and grabbed Tian Duocai's hand: "Let's go to the yamen and hand over the purse to the government." ”
Passers-by heard the words and accused the two maids.
"If you don't want to return it, why are you waiting here stupidly? I don't know what to do! ”
"It's better to be a good person than to be a villain."
"Seeing that they are obviously dressed as maids from large families, they must be used to bullying others."
The two maids were pointed at by everyone and blushed in shame.
Qiu Ju glared at the green lotus, and hurriedly chased after Tian Ruyue's sister and brother to make amends: "It's our fault, ask my sister for forgiveness." We looked for more than an hour, and we were anxious to bump into my sister's words, whether it was ours or not, and begged my sister to forgive us a lot. ”
Tian Ruyue glanced at her indifferently, and squinted at the green-clothed maid standing in place.
Qiu Ju understood in seconds, and immediately walked quickly to the green lotus, whispered a few reminders in her ear, and dragged her over to apologize to Tian Ruyue.
Tian Ruyue still had a cold face and did not accept their apology, but asked rhetorically: "How much silver does your young lady have in her purse?" If you can't answer, then you didn't lose it. Don't give you back your purse and accuse me of stealing the money. ”
Qiu Ju and Green Lotus are embarrassed to be without a place.
Qiu Ju was more clever and steady, and hurriedly said: "We are usually only responsible for safekeeping, I don't know how much silver there is, I have to ask Miss to know, but the purse is powder blue, and there are gorgeous peonies embroidered on it." Oh, by the way, and the name of our young lady has the word 'Jie', you see? He looked at Tian Ruyue hesitantly, for fear that she would not return it, because she lost the purse!
Tian Ruyue saw that she basically answered correctly, and knew that it was the purse they lost.
can be dissatisfied with their previous arrogant attitude, and deliberately make things difficult: "There are many young ladies with the word 'Jie' in their names, but it is not necessarily lost by your young lady." Now, if any of you goes back and asks your lady, the amount of silver is matched, and the purse will be returned to you. ”
[Wei Jin, who was hiding in the crowd of onlookers, looked at her deliberately embarrassing appearance, which was completely different from the low-brow and pleasing appearance in Stone Village, and couldn't help but think secretly. 】
"You're ......!" Green Lotus glared at Tian Ruyue angrily, and was about to get angry, but Qiu Ju pulled his sleeve again.
Green Lotus turned her head to Qiu Ju and was furious: "She obviously doesn't want to pay it back!" ”
Qiu Ju lowered her face and asked rhetorically: "I accidentally lost the purse, do you want to get the purse back and want me to be punished by the young lady?" ”
Green Lotus glared at her in disbelief, turned her head angrily and left: "I'll go find Miss!" ”
Qiu Ju's eyes flashed with a different color, but she turned her head and showed a soft smile at Tian Ruyue: "Sister, can you follow me to meet my young lady?" If she knew that you had picked up the purse, she would have been rewarded. ”
Tian Ruyue was angry just now and didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, she had her own plans, so she nodded and led Tian Duocai to follow behind Qiu Ju.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed in twos and threes, but the ill-intentioned people continued to follow.
Wei Jin looked at Tian Ruyue's departing back, and raised his feet without hesitation to continue to follow.
Qiu Ju took Tian Ruyue's sister and brother to the vicinity of a carriage, and caught a glimpse of Lu He standing outside the window of the car and reporting to the young lady sitting inside, turned her head to look at Tian Ruyue and said, "You are waiting here." "Approached the carriage quickly.
Tian Ruyue led Tian Duocai and waited in place, watching Qiu Ju also walk to the carriage and talk to the people inside, she couldn't help but look at the carriage.
The carriage looks low-key from the outside, not unlike any other carriage.
There was a coachman in the carriage, and there were some family members scattered around it to protect the people in the carriage.
Wei Jin, who was following, saw the two sisters and brothers standing near the carriage and did not leave, glanced left and right, and walked into the teahouse next to him. Choose a window position and sit down, and continue to peep brightly.
Waiting for the shopkeeper to serve tea, he also looked at the carriage. A closer look at the sign on the top immediately recognized that the carriage was sitting in the carriage with Shang Wenjie, the daughter of the military department.
"How is she?" Wei Jin muttered.
