Seeing this, Wei Hongsleeve obviously had no idea, she subconsciously looked at He Xi, as if she wanted to see what He Xi was going to do.

He Xi walked in front of Wang Laohan and said: "Okay, since you sold your daughter, then we sold your daughter, and since then, there has been no relationship between you and your daughter, and from now on it is a strange road, and there is no longer the slightest relationship, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Wang Laohan heard that they wanted to buy it, and she and Wei Hongsleeve's clothes were very luxurious, he said, "It's not impossible to buy it, but how much do you have to pay?" ”

Everyone sneered at Wang Laohan's behavior, but Wang Laohan didn't mind at all.

What he only cared about was how much silver taels He Xi and the others could make, and He Xi saw his insatiable face, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Five taels of silver." ”

As if he hadn't heard clearly, Wang Laohan said in a deep voice: "What did you say? ”

He Xi said lightly: "I said, five taels of silver, one cent is not much, one cent is not much, only five taels of silver." ”

The onlookers were a little unsettled, and those who originally thought that He Xi had something to do laughed, you know, this Wang Lao Han sold his daughter, but he sold it for ten taels, how did he get to He Xi's side, and how did he buy it for five taels of silver.

Sure enough, Wang Laohan snorted coldly and said, "I said this lady, I'm afraid you didn't read the words on the black and white paper, I sold it to him and sold it for ten taels, and sold you five taels?" Is it because of your noble status that you want to force us down? ”

He Xi rolled his eyes lightly and said, "That's the price you sold to him, we will calculate it with him, the five taels of silver are given to you separately, and you don't have to pay back his ten taels, how about it?" ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Laohan was moved, he thought carefully for a while, and said: "Okay, it's decided, you give me the silver first, and I have nothing to do with this matter." ”

He Xi turned around and took five taels of silver from Wei Hongsleeve's hand and handed it to Wang Laohan, as soon as he received the silver, the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears, and he hurriedly got out of the crowd and went to the nearest gambling house, never looking at his own daughter who was kneeling on the ground.

On the contrary, it was the drunken man who scolded and said, "I don't care if you want to buy his daughter or not, in short, the money you owe me cannot be more, not less." ”

He Xi took two steps, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay to give it to you, but I have to read the deed of sale first." ”

The drunk man looked at He Xi with some defensiveness, but seeing that she was petite, he didn't think about it, so he handed over the deed of sale and said, "It's not impossible to show you, it's just——"

Before the words fell, he saw He Xi's hands pulled, and he tore the deed of sale to shreds, the drunk man was in a hurry, and he was about to do it, but when he touched He Xi's eyes, for some reason, he took half a step back.

She smiled: "Since that person is no longer the father of this girl, the signatures and drawings on this are not counted, but it is not impossible to ask me to give you money, but ten taels is not good, only five taels, if you don't want it?" ”

The drunk man had just seen how He Xi treated Wang Laohan, and now it was his turn again, where was he willing to obey, he said angrily: "Report to the official, I want to report to the official, I want to see if there is a royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

He Xi looked at him without fear, suddenly leaned closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay to report to the official, then let the adults check carefully, how did you make a lot of money in the gambling house and deceive others, or you don't admit it, but what about those who once owed you money?" They have nothing to lose, and you say, will they take you with them or something? ”

He Xi's voice was light and light, weak like a breeze, but the drunk man who heard it broke out in a cold sweat.

When He Xi saw his reaction, he knew that he had guessed it.

She took a half step back, looked at this person with a smile, and said, "Okay, you think about it, if you report to the official, it's okay, but don't bother the official to come over again, I and the county lord of Anguo will accompany you by ourselves." ”

The man's face became more and more ugly, the original wishful plan was broken, how could he not be annoyed, he only hated himself for being unlucky, scolded his mother in his heart, and reluctantly stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the silver, this matter is over." ”

Wei Hongsleeve was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, put the silver in the man's hand, and the man ran away in a gloomy manner.

Seeing that there was no excitement, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, Wei Hongsleeve was happy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How did Madam do it?" ”

He Xi smiled and said, "It's just a matter of attacking the heart." The woman on the ground finally came back to her senses, she cried with joy, fell on the ground and kept talking: "Thank you, madam, thank you, thank you, the county lord, I am willing to repay the kindness of the two even if I am a cow and a horse." ”

Wei Hongsleeve glanced at He Xi, hurriedly leaned over and pulled her up, and said softly: "You are also a poor woman, okay, from today onwards, you will be free, you can go by yourself, do whatever you want, these silver taels are for you." ”

Looking at Wei Hongsleeve's appearance, He Xi said, "Do you really think that her father will really let her go like this?" ”

Wei Hongsleeve said suspiciously: "Didn't you already promise him and give him two silver taels to stop pestering this girl?" ”

He Xi smiled, and she didn't know whether to laugh at her pessimism, or laugh at Wei Hongsleeve's innocence, she said: "That kind of person, if he can really have the word promise in his heart, he will not end up like this, I have something to ask for, this girl, I'm afraid that the county lord of Anguo will bring it back to the Wei Mansion." ”

This is not difficult for Wei Hongsleeve, but she had to ask the woman after all, she turned her head to look at the woman, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with joy. I knew she was willing.

She nodded and said: "That's fine, you are in the Wei Mansion, and you are not afraid that he will make trouble, so you take this thing, go to the Wei Mansion, and go directly to the housekeeper, so you will say that I said it, and let the housekeeper arrange an errand for you." ”

As she spoke, she took off a small jade ring from her waist and handed it to the woman, who was grateful, and knelt on the ground and bowed again and again before leaving with her family.

Wei Hongsleeve looked at He Xi for a long time, and suddenly leaned over, He Xi noticed it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "The county lord of Anguo is like this, how can I stand it?" ”

Wei Hongsleeve said: "Madame is naturally bearable, today Madame is not only kind to that girl, but also kind to Red Sleeves, if there is no Madame today, presumably Red Sleeves really did a bad thing with good intentions and wanted to harm her." ”

He Xi shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "It's no wonder that Miss is in this matter, Miss is pure-hearted, those people are all shameless and obscene, how can you beat them, only with the way of others, but also the body of others, it is possible to have a glimmer of hope." ”

Wei Hongsleeve thought for a while, and knew that He Xi had something to mention, and she said gratefully: "Red Sleeves has been taught, in order to show gratitude, there is a restaurant near here, I don't know if Mrs. can still have a face?" ”

He Xi looked at the sky, at this time, the dinner in the palace had been delayed, she nodded, and Ruyi approached and said, "Little master-"

He Xi said softly: "It's okay to go back before the palace gate is locked-"

Wei Hongsleeve heard the voice and turned around, "What did Madam say?" ”

He Xi shook his head lightly, Wei Hongsleeve didn't care, and pointed to a towering pavilion not far away: "That's that restaurant, it's also very close." ”

He Xi was naturally a guest, and the two walked towards the restaurant one after the other.

Near, more and more feel that the restaurant decoration is chic, and very quiet, there is no kind of hustle and bustle, strangely, the business is indeed excellent, in the lobby, it is not like the ordinary restaurant set up scattered seats, but there is a big platform, from the ground Xu is one person high, the little two who are responsible for passing the food are not loud noise, just quietly holding the tray, the delicacies on it are also chic and diverse, He Xi carefully observed, nodded secretly in his heart.

Wei Hongsleeve saw that He Xi obviously looked like he had never been there, so he said in a low voice: "This restaurant is one of the best in the capital, and this shopkeeper has a good way of operating and a different way of doing business, and it is deeply appreciated by the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing." ”

Ruyi said puzzledly: "It doesn't look like a restaurant, but it looks like a very elegant place." ”

Wei Hongsleeve smiled faintly, pointed to the big platform in front of several people, and said: "It's true, every night, there will be musicians and dancers in the capital to perform their talents on it, but it is not those glamorous sounds, but extremely elegant and elegant." ”

He pointed to the fence on the second floor, and saw that in addition to the rows of private rooms, the fence was also set up with exquisite and comfortable elegance, which seemed to be specially designed for the nobles to enjoy singing and dancing.

He Xi said sincerely: "Sure enough, it's ingenious, and the shopkeeper is also a wonderful person." Wei Hongsleeve saw that she liked it, and he was relieved in his heart, and as he was talking, he saw Xiao Er come over respectfully, and said softly: "Miss Wei, you are here, the private room upstairs is still empty, you see-"

His tone was familiar, obviously he had known each other for a long time, Wei Hongsleeve nodded very politely and said, "It's okay." The little two bowed down and made a gesture of please, and then walked in front to lead the way. On the second floor, I found that this floor is assigned according to the names of the four gentlemen of Meilan Zhuju, and the decorations including incense are configured according to this law

Many, Wei Hongsleeve ordered a few special dishes, and Xiao Er left, and He Xi saw that there was no other person in the room, so he reached out and took off the scarf he had put on his face.
