Chapter Thirty-Seven: Big Things Turned into Small Things
"Look, what time is it outside?" Lu Xiangxue stretched out her thin fingers and pointed to the sky outside the half-open window.
"Three moments of the first day of the Shen Dynasty." One of the men, dressed in gray coarse cloth, glanced up at the sky and replied with a smile.
Lu Xiangxue lowered her head, straightened the folds of her sleeves, and when she looked up again, the smile on her face had disappeared without a trace: "You guys are really beautiful daydreamers!" Since you don't want to accept the kindness of the Shen Mansion, then go to the Shuntian Mansion to sue it, I will see how much silver you can claim. Butler, let's go! ”
"Yes." The housekeeper glanced at the five people with horizontal eyebrows, covered the box in his hand, and turned around and followed behind Lu Xiangxue.
"What should I do......" The four people who were still smiling all changed their faces, staring at each other wide-eyed, not knowing what to do, and the tenant sitting next to the butcher kept squeezing his eyes and signaling him to take a step back, so as not to lose even the benefits in front of him. The butcher is also beating a drum in his heart, he dares to offer such a price, because he is sure that the Shen Mansion does not want to make a big deal, but now that Lu Xiangxue doesn't seem to care about this, too, what kind of limelight is Shen Ke now, how could the emperor punish him for such a trivial matter? He thought that if Lu Xiangxue dared to do this, he must have a certain degree of certainty, but ............
He was very entangled and wavering, one hundred taels and three hundred taels, or his year's income, just gave up?
Lu Xiang Xuelian moved lightly and slowly walked to the threshold, the housekeeper behind her was sweating, but she was counting in her heart, this number was enough for these five people, they wanted the lion to open his mouth, it was impossible.
"Madame, Madame, I do!" Seeing that the butcher didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes were rolling, and he seemed to be still making up his mind, and the thin tenant on the side couldn't hold it back.
"It seems that there are still smart people, even if they get into trouble in Shuntianfu, it will be fifty taels at most, what's wrong with getting a hundred taels and going home early to recuperate?" Lu Xiangxue, who had already reached the threshold, turned around, and a smile hooked on the corner of her mouth.
"You ............" was the butcher who was thinking about it, and he was furious, and as soon as he pushed the tenant beside him, he stood up.
"Butcher Zheng, forget it, Shen Fu's compassion is enough." The tenant was not annoyed when he was pushed, but united with the tenant on his side and whispered: "The Shen Mansion is very wealthy, if we go to the Shuntian Mansion and make people angry, maybe there is no one, it is better to get this money with peace of mind." ”
When the tenant heard this, he also felt polite.
"Madam, your mansion is so sincere, of course we will not refuse."
"Madam, I don't want any gifts when I arrive, you just give me some more silver, we rough people, it's useless to eat those." The tenant lying on the bed sat up with his hands that could still move.
Lu Xiangxue nodded kindly, and let Ling'er take out another silver ticket. "Okay, although these people's participation in bird's nest is not good, but one hundred taels of silver can be worth, so I will exchange one hundred taels of silver with you."
"Mrs. Shen is so sincere, I am embarrassed to worry about it anymore, and I asked Mrs. Shen to exchange the supplements for silver for me, this time, even if it is a big thing and a small matter!" Another man, who still smelled of fish, sat up.
"Okay, since you don't want supplements, then I will exchange it for silver, you are injured like this, of course we pay for the medicine, and in the next half a month, the money for you to go to the Song Medical Center to see a doctor and take medicine will be covered by our Shen Mansion." Lu Xiangxue asked Ling'er to take out a silver ticket again.
Now there are three people who are willing to accept the Shen Mansion's claim, but only the tenant who is holding his arms and screaming in pain and Zheng Butcher have not reacted.
Although Butcher Zheng didn't speak, the fish-eyed eyes were constantly turning, and now that the three of them had agreed, it would be useless for him to persist, and it would be okay, his injuries were light, and getting these silver was already a windfall, and he couldn't chew it if he was greedy, so he agreed.
"Mrs. Shen, I am also willing to accept it."
Butcher Zheng had already relented, and the last tenant had no motivation to persevere, and nodded along with him.
The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the silver tickets and supplements to several people, and the boxes of supplements left behind him were also handed over to the guards behind him.
"Harmony makes money, then today's matter, even if it is reconciled, I will speak my word, and Dr. Song will personally see you until you recover."
The big stone in Lu Xiangxue's heart finally fell to the ground, and she even breathed a little brisker.
"Thank you, ma'am." Several people were no longer as arrogant as before, and they all bowed and saluted.
"Doctor Song, you prescribe a few pairs of medicine for them and bring them back, I will go back first if there are still some things in my house, and I will go to the Shen Mansion to get the medicine fee at that time."
"Yes." Doctor Song saw how Lu Xiangxue dealt with the greed of these people, and his impression of Lu Xiangxue in his heart also changed, and his face showed an indescribable respect.
"Mrs. Shen." Ning Zhiyuan, who hurried from the Shen Mansion, stepped into the Song Clan's Medical Hall.
As soon as Lu Xiangxue saw someone coming, she hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
"Get up, get up, Mrs. Shen, I have something important to discuss with you, please take a step to speak." Ning Zhiyuan couldn't take care of these etiquettes anymore, and now Du Yiyi didn't know where he was, and if he spent an extra moment, he would have a less chance of finding it.
Lu Xiangxue looked solemn when she saw him, and borrowed a private room with Dr. Song.
Ning Zhiyuan immediately told her what he was doing this time.
"What? Yiyi ran away? Lu Xiangxue blinked suspiciously.
"It's true, now I don't know where I went, and this king is not quiet, so I have to come to ask Mrs. Shen."
Lu Xiangxue is smart, as soon as Ning Zhiyuan said this, she understood why Shen Ke didn't arrest those beggar traders who lingered at the front and back doors of the Shen Mansion, she put down Shen Ke's drunken beating of people, and now Du Yiyi has disappeared again, Rao is such a steady temperament, and she can't stand it when she hears this disappearance.
Ling'er behind him saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block behind and in front of Lu Xiangxue.
"I knew she was unwilling to get married, I knew it!" Lu Xiangxue held Ling'er's hand tightly, and her pointed nails had been tightly pinched into the back of her hand. However, because of Du Yiyi's previous confession, it is difficult for her to have the same hatred for Du Yiyi now, although Du Yiyi's actions this time are also shocking, but in the end, it is not that she can't get off the stage.
"This king has already sent people to watch at the city gate, but there is a shortage of manpower, and General Shen still needs to take action!" Ning Zhiyuan paced anxiously.
"My husband is drunk, and now he is probably awake, but this is because he can't come forward, and now because he is drunk and beating, he is already on the cusp, and he is running away from marriage, this is disobeying the holy decree, she can't afford such a crime, although I haven't thought about her temperament thoroughly, but I also understand a little, now she shouldn't go out of the city, since she already knows that someone is following, she should be like a moth to a fire for her!"
Lu Xiangxue rubbed her temples and finally calmed herself down, these days Du Yiyi's various performances have flashed in front of her, and she has gone through what she said in great detail, but she really didn't find any abnormalities in her.
No one can afford such a crime as disobeying the holy decree, Lu Xiangxue, who has seen Shen Ke heartbroken for Du Yiyi, does not want to watch Du Yiyi die. "His Royal Highness King Rui, Yiyi has done such a thing that has no monarch, and I ask you to keep it a secret on your behalf."
"The king understands that the most important thing at the moment is to find out where she is, and this matter will be dealt with later. The king will mobilize his men to search the city, and ask his wife to think about where she will be now! Ning Zhiyuan bent slightly towards Lu Xiangxue, and then turned around and left like wind under his feet.
Looking at the corner of the clothes outside the door, Lu Xiangxue finally couldn't support it all of a sudden and leaned back.
"Madam, how are we now?" Ling'er tried her best to keep her hand steady.
"She doesn't have any good friends in the capital, and she doesn't have a favorite place to go on weekdays, but now she wants to look for it, it's really a needle in a haystack, so she can only go to some inns to look for it first."
Inn? Du Yiyi won't go to the inn, even if she has no experience in escaping, she has watched a lot of TV series where others have fled, such as inns and restaurants are the easiest places to find, she took a look at the city gate from a distance, something is wrong, she doesn't want to go out of the city in the past few days, where is she hiding? It's not a problem for her, who now has a thousand taels of silver tickets.
First, when she went out, she had to change her outfit and makeover, so she first found a remote cloth shop and bought a men's outfit to change into.
Second, find a place to live, there will always be people when you have nothing to do, you can't go to the inn, so you can only find another way, there is no news yet, which means that the people who are following him have not spread the news, that is to say, his intention is not to put himself to death, Shen Ke will not be silent and can only look for it secretly, which can be regarded as giving her a few more chances of escaping.
What is Du Yiyi thinking about in her heart? Where will she be now, this day, Lu Xiangxue's mind is thinking about this problem, Ning Zhiyuan has gone to search, but she has not received the news for a long time, when she returned to the Shen Mansion, Shen Ke had already woken up, and she had taken a shower and changed her clothes, and the drunk Shen Ke had been replaced by the high-spirited Shen Ke.
On the way back, Lu Xiangxue also thought about how to explain to Shen Ke, paper can't contain the fire, Shen Ke heard others talk about Du Yiyi's rights and wrongs so angrily, if she knew that she was running away from marriage now, what impulsive thing would she do?
In addition to confessing to him and explaining to him that the husband and wife discussed a countermeasure, Lu Xiangxue couldn't think of any better way.
"You mean, Yiyi ran away from marriage?" After listening to Lu Xiangxue's words, Shen Ke was not the slightest surprised. But Mother Xu, who was standing behind him, remembered the events of the previous few days, and her cheeks turned white with fright.
