Su Jiudong dodged out of the outer room, and was bumped into Wen Xiubing holding Ah Rong's arm tightly and refusing to let go, and Ah Rong's arm was pinched out of the red handprint.

"Stop!" Su Jiudong stepped forward and pushed Wen Xiubing away, protected Ah Rong in his arms and checked his arm, and glared at Wen Xiubing angrily: "What can't you say well, you have to drag the child hard?" Don't children know that it hurts? ”

Wen Xiubing didn't let the slightest loud voice choke: "Miss Ben catches the thief, do you still care if the thief will be hurt by me?" ”

For a while, all the ladies on the second floor looked outside and "paid attention" to Su Jiudong and Wen Xiubing.

Su Jiudong blocked Ah Rong behind him, and looked directly at Wen Xiubing: "Who is the thief, please make it clear, don't slander people at will." ”

"She!" Wen Xiubing, who had been behind Su Jiudong's back, scolded angrily: "Ah Rong picked up my purse, and when she brought it to me, there was a night pearl missing from the purse!" She stole my pearl of the night, isn't this a thief?! ”

Su Jiudong squatted down in disbelief, held Ah Rong's shoulder and said softly, "Ah Rong, what's going on?" Make it clear that with me, I will never let people bully you at will. ”

Ah Rong recounted in a soft voice: "Just now I was waiting for you outside to measure the size, and Miss Xiubing and another young lady went downstairs. I turned around and saw a purse under the round table, thinking that it might have been dropped by Miss Xiubing, so I chased it to the first floor with the purse. ”

"At that time, I saw a young lady on the first floor looking down for something, and I just wanted to go up to ask, but Miss Xiubing grabbed her from behind and said that I had stolen her purse."

After Miss Xiubing checked the purse, she said that there were many things missing from the purse, and the most important night pearl was missing. So Miss Xiubing said that I stole the missing thing in the purse... But I didn't steal. ”

Wen Xiubing pinched the purse in her hand and said loudly: "This purse is a popular pomegranate flower style in the capital recently, I just bought it a few days ago, and at a glance I knew that it was my purse, and now there are so many things missing in it, didn't you steal it, is it my prison guard?" ”

Su Jiudong thought for a while, then said in a soft tone: "Xiubing, what did you have in your original bun?" You say them one by one, and I'll check them. If it turns out that it was really Ah Rong who stole it, I will make up for all the missing things for you. ”

"I have a lot of valuables in my purse, and you say that you will make up all of them, but I don't know if your silver taels are enough." Wen Xiubing sat back on the embroidery pier and counted the same:

"In my purse, there are pomegranate blossom flavored sachets, Pixiu jade pendant given by A-Niang, night pearl, golden dragon head white bead hairpin, four Baodian and Luodian attack, a box of fat powder, two small boxes of cold plum fragrant grease, a total of 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and 50 taels ......of broken silver."

Every time Wen Xiubing said the same, Su Jiudong took out something from his purse. But there was only a box of fat powder and fifty taels of broken silver, and the other things did not exist in the purse at all.

Su Jiudong handed the purse to Wen Xiubing and asked, "Miss Xiubing, can you be sure that this purse is the purse you used today?" ”

Wen Xiubing's arrogant chin pointed at people: "Of course, where can I admit my mistake in my purse." ”

Su Jiudong held the purse in his hand and examined it carefully, recalling Wen Xiubing's words just now: "But you just said that this purse is a popular pomegranate style in the capital recently. Could it be someone else's purse, but it just happens to collide with the same style as yours? ”

Su Jiudong walked to the staircase, pointed to the sitting pier with one hand, and pointed to the staircase on the first floor with the other, and explained:

"From the time you go downstairs to Ah Rong chasing down, the interval between before and after is no more than a moment. How did she manage to take so many things out of her purse, hide them, and then go downstairs to chase you back the purse in such a short period of time? ”

Su Jiudong returned to the table, compared the contents of the purse on the table one by one, and asked:

"Also, the contents of the purse are only two things to what you described. The rest of the stuff doesn't go the same way. Ah Rong is just a child, if she really stole your things, where did she hide the lost things? ”

Ah Rong stood up straight, and retorted without changing her face, neither humble nor arrogant: "I didn't steal anything from my purse. At that time, I picked up the purse and went downstairs to find the owner, but I did not take the contents of the purse. ”

Su Jiudong protected Ah Rong in front of him, faced Wen Xiubing's arrogance, and analyzed the situation just now without any fear.

"Obviously, you are quite unreasonable, and as soon as you came up, you dragged Ah Rong without saying anything, not to say that Ah Rong stole your purse and the contents of the purse. But this purse does not have your signature, nor does it show your unique characteristics, and it does not even match the items. ”

Ah Rong went downstairs to return the purse to the owner, and you suddenly appeared and scolded. Instead of thanking Ah Rong, he slandered Ah Rong for being greedy for what was in your purse, how can there be such a good person in the world who allows you to bully? ”

Su Jiudong stepped forward and approached Wen Xiubing, and said with a cold expression: "You are so aggressive and holding on tightly, I can only think that you are trying to make trouble, deliberately recognize this purse, and then take the opportunity to bully Ah Rong." ”

Although Su Jiudong's voice was not loud, it was enough for all the onlookers on the second floor to hear it. Bookstore.com

Someone turned up from the stairwell on the first floor and whispered to a young lady next to him, "What's going on?" ”

The young lady didn't know much either, so she could only answer briefly and generally: "I don't know the cause and effect, I just heard that someone lost his purse and is now confronting him in court." ”

"Lost your purse?" The questioner immediately became energetic and asked excitedly, "Did you lose a pomegranate-style purse?" The latest style to come into town? ”

"Huh? Didn't you just arrive? How can you be so clear about the style of the purse? ”

"Because that's the style of the purse I lost!" The man raised his voice, attracting the attention of the audience.

Su Jiudong stepped forward with a purse and asked the man: "This young lady, may I ask if the purse you lost is like this?" Can you easily tell us what was in your lost purse? ”

I saw that the man was excited when he saw the purse: "Huh? Isn't this the purse I lost? There were fifty taels of broken silver, a box of rouge, and a token to enter and leave the Ten Kings' Mansion in the end! If I lose it, I won't be able to go back. ”

"I am the maid Xiaohe in the Ten Princes' Mansion, and today I was sent by the housekeeper to the ready-to-wear shop to receive the new clothes that were made for other maids here earlier, and I was sitting on the second floor just now waiting to receive the clothes, maybe it was the purse that was lost at that time."

Under the watchful eye, Su Jiudong led Xiao He to the table, and Xiao He saw the familiar Ten Kings Mansion token at a glance, and said firmly: "Yes, every time, this is the purse I lost." I was looking for it on the first floor just now, but I didn't expect it to be on the second floor. ”

Ah Rong stepped forward and added: "Just now I saw this young lady looking down as if she was looking for something, so I took my purse and wanted to ask her, but I didn't expect to be stopped by Miss Xiubing halfway...... It turned out to be really your purse. ”

Xiaohe thanked Su Jiudong and Ah Rong for a while: "If I can't find this purse today, I really can't go back to the Ten Kings' Mansion... Thank you very much. ”

Some of them turned off their voices when they heard the words "Ten Kings' Mansion", and they didn't dare to make a fuss just now.

This Xiaohe has worked in the Ten Princes' Mansion, maybe it is the maid next to the prince, so no one dares to say anything.

Wen Xiubing frowned and said indignantly: "Wait! If this is your purse that you lost, where does my purse go? It's impossible for the purse to disappear out of thin air, right?! ”

Xiaohe shook his head: "You look older than me, I'm still a child, it's understandable to lose your purse, you are such a big person, you can't even look at your own purse, and you dare to bully others here, and you are not afraid of being laughed at." ”

"Just now, the third prince blamed me for losing my purse, 'I am a fool who lost everything', and now I will give you this sentence too, you are also a fool." After speaking, Xiaohe happily went downstairs with his purse, leaving Wen Xiubing, who was scolded for no reason, stunned.

"The Third Prince......" Wen Xiubing's attention was not on the word "fool", only after hearing that the third prince was also downstairs, he was distracted, and many ladies on the second floor acted quickly and ran to the first floor with anticipation, wanting to catch up with the third prince who was staying at home.

The third prince Yun Muyou often nests in the Ten Princes' Mansion on weekdays, and it is difficult to go out once today, and his admirers naturally do not want to miss this precious opportunity to see the demeanor of the lover of their dreams.

"Today's thing is that I was mistaken... I'll settle accounts with you in the future! Wen Xiubing said a cruel word to Su Jiudong, and then dragged Feng Shenghan downstairs to chase the third prince Yun Muyou.

Ah Rong grabbed Su Jiudong's little hand and said a cold rebuttal: "Ah Niang, it's obvious that she made trouble today and framed us, so we should settle accounts with her in the future." ”

After this period of delay, Su Jiudong took Ah Rong back to the restaurant, and learned that Su Fenglan had taken Su Ting'an back to the general's mansion, and Su Jiudong could only take Ah Rong back to the house alone.

As the sun set, Su Jiudong took Ah Rong to bathe in the glow of the sky, but he didn't know that a strange man in white was following their footsteps.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

The third prince, Yun Muyou, sat in the carriage, lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the backs of Su Jiudong and the strange man, revealing a meaningful smile: "Su Jiudong... Gu Rong... What is this new intersection? ”

The days passed in a hurry, and Su Jiudong, accompanied by Xingyi, went to look at two alternative medicinal restaurant shops, and finally settled on the street shop near the East Market.

Dongshi is one of the centers of handicraft production and commercial trade in Chang'an City. There are many shops and merchants here, and industry and commerce are very prosperous.

And because of its proximity to Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace, and as many official residences as it is around, there are many luxury goods in the city.

After discussing with Wen Yiheng, Su Jiudong decided to select the main target customers of the Medicinal Diet Pavilion as rich and noble families, so it was reasonable to set the store in Dongshi.
