Bai Haohong asked Sun Ying straight to the point: "Have you ever heard that why Zhang Yuanwai fled?" ”

Sun Ying replied: "I don't know the reason for the escape, the servants are discussing among themselves, but no one can guess the reason. ”

"When did Zhang Yuanwai escape?"

"After the old man was called to the county office to testify, it seems that he fled after four days."

"When Zhang Yuan went out to escape, what kind of people did he take with him?"

"I brought my wife, my aunt, my nurse, and a maid ring called vanilla."

"I didn't bring any other rings, so why did I bring vanilla?"

"Vanilla is beautiful, and when the lord comes, she generally receives her."

Aunt Pan interjected and said, "Lord Bai, the vanilla is specially used to entertain those distinguished guests. I've seen vanilla, she's pretty foxy. ”

Bai Haohong took out the handkerchief at the scene of the crime, handed it to Sun Ying, and said, "Look at it, is this a vanilla handkerchief?" ”

Sun Ying took it and looked at it, and said, "I don't know if it's her handkerchief, but the vanilla is better than ours." ”

"On the first day that Zhang Yuanwai went out to testify, did he have any guests at his house?"

Sun Ying thought for a while and replied: "I was doing chores in the kitchen, and there were a lot of dishes that day, maybe there were guests, but I didn't see it." ”

"Have you heard of who Vanilla entertained that day?"

"I didn't ask about vanilla. However, Vanilla came to my house two days ago. ”

Bai Haohong asked in surprise, "Is Vanilla still alive?" ”

Aunt Pan interjected: "That's right! Two days ago, Vanilla came to my house and asked me if I could make money by setting up a small stall. ”

Bai Haohong asked, "Where is Vanilla now?" ”

"In Nanjiang Village." Sun Ying continued: "On the day of the accident, Vanilla escaped into a villager's house, and the young man was alone, and the young man saved Vanilla, and soon they became married. Just two days ago, they secretly came to my house, and now they are back in the country. ”

Xu Feiyan asked a little strangely, "How can Vanilla marry a villager?" ”

Sun Ying introduced: "Vanilla is usually very high-spirited, and I can't believe this fact. I asked Vanilla secretly, and she said: This time, I was frightened when I saw Zhang Yuanwai's whole family being killed, and I felt that it was also dangerous to follow the rich people; Moreover, the villager's husband did not dislike her as a broken flower and a willow, and married her as a wife, and married other people with a little money, so he could only be a concubine; Also, the young man is hardworking and honest. ”

Aunt Pan listened to her daughter's explanation, pursed her lips, and said: "Vanilla still dislikes the hard life in the countryside, so she wants her husband to come to the city to set up a stall." No, come to my house and ask: is it tiring to set up a stall, is it profitable, and so on. ”

"What's the name of Vanilla's husband?"

"It's called Wan Liang."

Bai Haohong happily thanked the mother and daughter, Xu Feiyan saw that the task was completed and was about to leave, but Lizi asked curiously: "Aunt Pan, your daughter is about to enter Beijing, what is she doing in the capital?" ”

Aunt Pan replied, "You don't know, although our family is poor, we are very precious to this daughter." Back then, I also earned some money in the capital, but my boss took the money to gamble and lost it all, so we had no choice but to let Sun Ying go to the helper. I can't make much money from this noodle stall, her father still owes gambling debts, I think Sun Ying can earn some money before she gets married, so I ask the relationship to help her find something to do. It just so happens that there is a silk village in the capital that lacks manpower, and the salary is also high, so our Sun Ying's needlework is good, and we told the shopkeeper of the silk village that we will go to the capital in two days. ”

Liz asked, "What is the name of the silk village that Sun Ying went to, I will go to see her in the future." ”

Xu Feiyan glanced at Lizi dissatisfied, and thought, "Nosy! What good can it do to be associated with the poor?! ”

Aunt Pan said happily: "That's a good daring!" With you taking care of her, I'm relieved. Lord Bai, you righteous sister, it's comfortable to look at her! The house that Sun Ying went to was called Chen Ji Silk Village. ”

Bai Haohong smiled: "My clothes are all made there. ”

"You're a regular patron there? That's great! My daughter's embroidery is particularly good, you have time to introduce to the shopkeeper Chen. ”

"No problem! In the future, we will find Sun Ying to make all our clothes, and Shopkeeper Chen will not treat her badly. ”

"That's grateful!"

Bai Haohong thought that Aunt Pan was good-hearted, warm and warm, and had eaten noodles for herself, so he asked, "How much do you owe your gambling debts?" ”

"I still owe twenty dollars."

Bai Haohong took out a silver ticket, handed it to Aunt Pan and said, "You can take the twenty taels of silver tickets to pay off the debt." ”

"How's that going to work?" Aunt Pan pushed and gave way.

Xu Feiyan was so distressed that she said secretly: "Big Brother Bai is too big!" Twenty taels of silver is a peasant's income for a year, how can you just give it away?! When she saw Aunt Pan being polite, she hurriedly said, "Brother Bai, Aunt Pan doesn't want it, don't force her." ”

Lizi pondered: "Twenty taels of silver is nothing to Brother Bai, but it can solve the difficulties of the Pan family." Whether it is Aunt Pan's noodle stall or Sun Ying's work in the silk village, it will be very difficult to earn so much money. ”

Thinking of this, Liz took the silver ticket from Bai Haohong's hand, came to Aunt Pan's approach, stuffed the silver ticket into her hand, and said, "You can accept it, you gave Brother Bai a bowl of noodles, and he helped you pay off your debts, which is also fate." Liz then recounted the scene of eating noodles.

After hearing this, Aunt Pan took Lizi's hand, looked up and down for a long time, and said with a smile: "Why do I say it's so familiar, it turns out to be you!" At that time, I knew from looking at your face that you were either rich or noble, and it was true. ”

Aunt Pan looked at Bai Haohong for a while and said, "I really can't see it, your makeup skills are really clever." At the same time, she thought to herself: "I did such a little bit of good things unintentionally, I didn't expect that there would be such a big reward!" The saying 'good deeds are rewarded' is true! ”

After walking out of Aunt Pan's house, Zhan Xue complained: "Those villagers in Nanjiang Village are the same, even if Vanilla is the daughter-in-law of the villagers, there is no need to lie to us." ”

Bai Haohong said: "The people in the village are afraid of right and wrong, and besides, they can't tell whether it is a real official or a fake official. Anyway, it's good that Vanilla is alive, and she's the only eyewitness. Today, I plan to visit Nanjiang Village again. ”

Zhan Xue proposed: "If there are so many of us going together, it may scare the villagers." Or, Brother Bai, you take Lizi alone, she smiles all day long, has a sense of intimacy, is familiar with each other, and people will not guard against her. ”

Xu Feiyan retorted: "Nanjiang Village is too far away, Lizi can't ride a horse, how can I get there?" ”

"Feiyan, you don't know? Liz practiced every day a while ago, and although her riding skills still need to be improved, my mount is docile, and it is absolutely no problem to lend Liz to ride, and it is absolutely no problem to ride slowly. ”

Although Xu Feiyan was unhappy in her heart, she had no reason to oppose it anymore. Bai Haohong felt that Zhanxue's proposal was very reasonable, gossip was Liz's specialty, and it was perfect to take her to find out the news. The idea was certain, so Bai Haohong and Lizi rode horses and walked towards Nanjiang Village.
