Chapter 185: Who is Engong?
Lian'er knelt down towards Mu Fan, causing an uproar among everyone.
"Didn't that little brother buy her, why did she kneel down to others?"
"Are you blind, how could that little brother get so much silver, he must be the one who bought it for this son."
"I think so too, two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and only that son can do it without blinking an eye when he takes out so much silver. Look at the clothes on his body, tsk, at least worth a few hundred taels. β
"You're just blind, didn't you hear Gao Gongzi's words, this little brother is a celebrity in front of Shopkeeper Xia, how can he not even have two thousand taels of silver."
"That's true, but who do you think is richer compared to that son?"
"This ......"
Although most people already believe that the silver came from Mu Fan, and Xiaohu is just helping him, there are still a few honest people, who are afraid that Lian'er is mistaken, and kindly reminded: "Girl, the two thousand taels of silver in your hand were given by this little brother, did you recognize the wrong person?" β
Hearing this, Lian'er smiled at them and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but I didn't recognize the wrong person." β
"Why are you so sure?"
"As you said, two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and if you can bring it to me, a person I don't know, I'm afraid only this son has this kind of courage." Lian'er smiled, "I guess this boy must be troublesome or have some other hidden secrets, so he will let that little brother do it for him." β
"Phew!" The woman in the crowd glanced at Lian'er with disdain, "Why do I think you think that this son is handsome and rich, so you have the cheekiness to treat others as your father-in-law." I thought you were pitiful at first, but now I think you're no different from those women who covet wealth. I guess you don't go with that fat man, I'm afraid you don't like it because of the ugliness of the parents. You are really good at picking, this boy has the best appearance among so many men. In order to pick a good man, you don't even want to buy your little brother with money, it's really shameful. β
Hearing someone scolding herself, Lian'er was not angry, but looked at the woman and smiled indifferently: "This sister, you have been watching here all along, I guess you know what kind of eyes these people are looking at me, including that little brother, all of them have some feelings in their eyes." Only this boy didn't have any waves in his eyes when he looked at me, and the only thing he had was pity for me. As a woman, you have to know how to protect yourself, if you were a sister, would you choose to follow someone who has intentions for you, or choose someone who simply looks at you pitifully and wants to help you? β
Before the woman answered, Lian'er spoke again: "I still say that, compared to that little brother, only this son has the strength to buy me, Lian'er is not a fool, I can still guess who Engong is." Of course, that little brother helped me get rid of the wicked, and Lian'er was grateful, but I couldn't ignore the kindness because of pure gratitude. β
Saying that, Lian'er kowtowed to Mu Fan, who had been silent, and said, "Engong is above, please accept Lan'er's worship." After Lan'er buries her father, she will follow Engong's side, and she will be a slave and a maid, all by Engong's words. β
Mu Fan turned around and entered the shop when Lian'er began to kowtow a second time, and he didn't hear what she was saying at all, and after the excitement was over, he didn't have to stay here anymore.
When Lian'er raised her head, she found that there was no one in front of her.
Lian'er searched around to no avail, so she could only mutter: "What about Engong?" β
"Hey, your Engong left early, and he didn't want to deal with you at all." Just now, the woman looked at Lian'er with disdain, "People don't take you seriously." β
"Engong must have his deep meaning in doing this, and it's not your turn to say it." Lian'er stood up, simply tidied up her clothes, bowed to Xiaohu, who was still in a daze, and turned to leave.
"Phew, it's obvious that you're shameless, but sticking to others." Looking at the back of Lian'er leaving, the woman took a bite of her, and turned her head to look at Xiaohu, "Little brother, the girls you saved are all gone, why don't you even know how to put a fart, don't you see that she has mistaken her life-saving benefactor." I see you doing things in a hurry on weekdays, why have you become so cowardly now? β
Being shouted like this, Xiaohu finally came back to his senses, looked at the woman and smiled helplessly, and said: "Guest officer, Miss Lian'er is right, I do have some wrong thoughts about her, and she is right that she doesn't want to follow me." β
"You...... You're so cowardly! The woman looked at Xiaohu with hatred of iron and steel, "You went out of the silver, but people left with others, what do you want me to say about you?" β
"The silver ......," Xiaohu sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly, "You guessed right, I really don't have that much silver, and I can't say that I bought the person until I return the borrowed silver." β
"Are you stupid? The borrowed silver is not yours? What the hell is this reasoning, why can't I understand it? The woman frowned, she really couldn't understand the meaning of Xiaohu's words, she even felt that she didn't have a brain when she went out today, otherwise why couldn't she even understand such a simple sentence?
Xiaohu's brain stopped working when Lian'er knelt down towards Mu Fan, and at this time he was in a state of six gods without a master, and his speech was all based on feeling, he had never had a brain at all, and he didn't know if there was logic in his words, but he answered the woman's question numbly.
"Hey." Xiaohu shook his head, didn't say anything more, and arched his hand towards everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry for letting you watch the excitement in front of my shop under the scorching sun." In order to compensate you, all desserts on Sweet Island are sold at 20% off today, and I hope you eat well. β
After speaking, Xiaohu walked towards the shop, and the figure was a little lonely.
When the Sweet Island was about to close, Lian'er reappeared.
Lian'er entered the shop, glanced around, but didn't see Engong's figure, sighed in frustration, walked to Xiaohu's side, and smiled sweetly: "Little brother." β
The voice was delicate and soft, crispy into the bone marrow, making the little tiger who was in a daze slap a clever one.
He looked at Lian'er in confusion, and after recognizing the person, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he smiled honestly and said, "Girl, is the matter done?" β
"That's it." Lian'er saluted Xiaohu, "Thanks to the help of the little brother and Engong, my father has been buried smoothly, and I have taken care of one of my things." β
"Well, that's good." Xiaohu nodded, "I can finally rest assured." β
"Little brother, can I ask you a question?" A blush flew on Lian'er's face, her eyes lowered, and she glanced at Xiaohu from time to time.
Xiaohu was shocked by her appearance, it was the first time he had seen a woman coquettish when he was so big, and he was such a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but skip half a beat of his heartbeat, and stammered: "What...... What questions, you ask. β
"Can you tell me about Eun Gong's situation?" Lian'er blushed, her eyes full of anticipation, "You also know that I will serve him in the future, if I don't know him better, I'm afraid it will displease him." But I can't ask him directly, so ...... So please tell me some, little brother. β
Hearing Lian'er mention Mu Fan, Xiaohu's head seemed to be splashed with a basin of ice water, which made him suddenly come back to his senses from his excitement, sighed with disappointment, and said softly: "His name is Mu Fan, and he is the ...... of my shopkeeper."
Xiaohu glanced at Lian'er in embarrassment, he originally wanted to say that Mu Fan was Xia Yan's fiancΓ©, but he swallowed back the words that came to his lips and changed his words: "It's my shopkeeper's friend and neighbor." β
"What else?" Lian'er listened carefully, her attitude was extremely serious, and she almost took out a pen and paper to write down what Xiaohu said.
Lian'er's serious and eager appearance, Xiaohu felt uncomfortable, it felt like someone was holding a knife to his heart, every time Lian'er said a word, his heart hurt like being stabbed by a knife.
In order not to disappoint Lian'er, he could only endure the pain in his heart and tell Lian'er everything he knew about Mu Fan.
"He doesn't like to talk, he doesn't have a good temper, he likes sweets, and I don't know what he does at home......"
Xiaohu kept talking about the time of a stick of incense, searching his intestines and scraping his stomach, and he couldn't wait to tell Lian'er how many hairs Mu Fan had.
In the end, he really couldn't think of anything else to say, so he could only smile helplessly: "Girl, I have told you everything I know, if you still want to know some other things, then you can only wait for my eldest sister to come back, she has been with Brother Mu for a long time, and knows more things than me." β
"Well, that's enough to know." Lian'er looked at Xiaohu gratefully, "Thank you, little brother, you helped me again, I really don't know how to thank you." β
"Don't be polite to me." Xiaohu scratched his hair, "In the future, we will be our own people, and I should help you." β
"Hmm." Lian'er smiled sweetly, like a spring breeze blowing in March, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and Xiaohu couldn't help but be stupid.
"Little brother, little brother?" Lian'er's beautiful voice sounded in Xiaohu's ears, "Little brother, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly stop talking?" β
"Huh?" Xiaohu suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly retracted the obsessive look on his face, "What did you say?" β
"I was just asking you, but you ignored me as if you didn't hear me." Lian'er's face was full of concern, "I thought you were sick." β
"No, no." Xiaohu smiled awkwardly, "It's just that I suddenly lost my mind, what did you just ask me?" β
Seeing that Xiaohu was fine, Lian'er patted her chest with reassurance, and said with a smile: "I asked you where Engong is, and I can only feel at ease when I see Engong serving him." After all, I am the one he bought, and wouldn't it be ungrateful to ignore him? β
