Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and Shu Mulu's family went to a small town on the outskirts of Beijing through Zhili, and they could reach the capital in more than an hour. The noon sun is exceptionally hot, living in the south for more than ten years, Zhiyuan and Guarjia are not used to the dry heat of the capital, the three brothers and sisters of Shuxuan have never set foot in the capital since they were born, and they are not used to it, Guerjia ordered to find a clean restaurant to park, and then return to the Duke's Palace after a little repair.

Along the way, Shu Yao learned about the personnel composition of the Duke's Mansion from the mouth of the Guerjia clan, from the old lady who is now in power, to the housekeeper who has a face in front of the owners of the house, the Guarjia clan will all give Shu Yao a brain, Shu Yao admires the Guarjia clan's ability to collect intelligence, the capital and Huizhou, Guangdong are thousands of miles apart, the information is not smooth, and it is rare for Guerjia to know himself and his opponent.

After Shu Yao got off the carriage, the small town near the capital gathered merchants from the south to the north, this restaurant is decorated with two floors high, the decoration is elegant, a pole is erected in front of the clean door, and the wine of 'Qianlixiang' is picked up, and the plaque in the middle of the restaurant is a cyclamen.

The second guest at the door was dressed neatly, with a white towel on his shoulder, and he was courteous, "Objectively inside, please." "You're pointing? Is it a stay? ”

Xiao Er has developed a unique eyesight, Shu Mulu's family knows at a glance that it is an official eunuch, five or six carriages are tightly covered, and there are nearly 20 people in his entourage, although Shu Mu Lu Zhiyuan is not wearing an official uniform, wearing a blue robe, but he is quite official, it should be an official who is released back to Beijing and promoted, Xiao Er is more and more attentive, and greets Zhiyuan: "You are please, Xiao is so small that you are preparing a private room?" ”

Zhiyuan walked in and asked casually, "What is Thyme?" ”

"It is the treasure of the small shop, the ancestral aging technology of the shopkeeper, and the aroma of the wine can be spread for thousands of miles when the wine jar is opened, so it is named."

Shu Yao who fell behind him didn't believe it, it was good to have a room of wine fragrance, and it was a big breath, even if it was the Moutai national wine in the previous life, there was no fragrance for thousands of miles when the altar was opened, the best Moutai, Shu Yao had tasted it, and there was a small glass of Moutai wine at night, Shu Yao couldn't sleep well, and the amount of alcohol was practiced during those days, known as a thousand cups of not drunk, and she was a woman in the wine.

"Everyone, it's good, save my wife, everyone's okay."

Shu Yao stopped, turned around and saw a young man about twenty years old, kneeling in the middle of the road, his clothes were washed and faded, but they were very clean, the man's skin was dark yellow, it could be seen that he was in distress in life, although he knelt and begged for alms from passers-by, but there was a little bookish smell, Shu Yao frowned, feeling the despair in his heart, the young man is a talent, the family is in the middle, I have no money to treat my wife and children when they are sick, and the young man is unable to ignore the bookish temperament, begging on the street, a little effort, Shu Yao can hide things in the young man's mind clearly.

When it fails, the ability that does not work is accurate in this person, the young man has a little method, and he will not make this decision, Shu Yao pinched the purse, she was lazy when she was in Huizhou, she didn't go out much, she had no close friends in the boudoir, and she didn't have a deep relationship with the young ladies, her father and brother loved Shu Yao very much, especially the second brother, what Shu Yao wanted to say to the second brother Shuyi, and Shuyi would send it to Shu Yao the next day.

Shu Yao doesn't spend much, all the monthly money is saved, Guerjia's has already opened her hand and let Shu Yao deal with the monthly money and silver by herself, Guerjia's first is to exercise Shu Yao, and the second is to find something to do for Shu Yao, unwilling to embroider, unwilling to read and practice calligraphy, unwilling to play chess and play the piano, poetry and song Shu Yao is not interested, Guerjia can't watch her daughter sleep all day, when she left Huizhou, Shu Yao sorted out the private silver and exchanged it for fifty taels of silver tickets, with a total of two silver tickets, in addition to the monthly money and silver, every New Year's birthday, Shu Yao can also get some silver.

"Yao'er, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to help him."

Guerjia groaned, and Shu Yao said seriously: "Just rush him to let go of the scholar's Qinggao to save his wife, he should help." Guerjia let go of his daughter, Shu Yao walked up to the young man lightly, put the silver ticket in front of him, needless to say, returned to Guerjia's side, and held his arm, "I'm hungry." ”

Guerjia led Shu Yao into the restaurant, and the young man kowtowed to Shu Yao, "Thank you, girl, I... I repay the girl for my slavery. ”

Shu Yao's footsteps did not stop: "There is no shortage of minions in our house. ”

The signature dish of the restaurant is very authentic, Zhiyuan has not eaten the dishes of the capital for many years, so he used it very happily, although the mellow brewing can not be fragrant for thousands of miles, but mellow and pleasant, Zhiyuan plans to buy a few more jars to go back.

Shu Yao didn't have much appetite, she put down her chopsticks early, she sat at the window, the restaurant is the tallest building in the town, Shu Yao can see the whole picture of the town.

"Master, madam, the girl is the one who gave up the silver, clamoring to see the girl, and angrily said that he can't get rid of him, you see..."

Zhiyuan held the wine glass with three fingers, "Want to see Shu Yao?" β€œ

"It was said that he wanted to repay the girl's kindness for the slave, and the slave saw that it was righteous."

Shu Yao was tired, "I knew he was so difficult, so I wouldn't be nosy." She was most afraid of trouble, listening to the movement outside, the people in the restaurant who knew the beginning and the end were all young and righteous, and the little girl's kindness could be exchanged for Xiucai as a servant, Shu Yao was not very happy, "I'll take a look." ”

There was a screen at the door of the private room, and Shu Yao stood behind the screen and said crisply to the young man: "You want to repay the slave?" ”

The young man arched his hand and said: "Li Zhengyang has received the favor of the girl, and he has nothing to repay, he is willing to give up his fame and repay the girl for ten years." β€œ

"Are you Li Zhengyang?"

"Yes."

"Is it Xiucai?"

"At the age of sixteen, I won the show, failed the exam twice in a row, and the good wife and son suffered, and I contracted the wind and cold beforehand, and I was in danger thanks to the silver ticket given by the girl to save the life of the good wife."

Li Zhengyang said sincerely, Shu Yao estimated that he was sixteen years old and won the show, and he never won the exam twice, and he was about twenty-two years old this year. has a wife and children, but he is so naΓ―ve as the head of the family, he is stupid to read, Shu Yao asked: "Li Xiucai, do you know what a slave is?" ”

"You can do tiring and dirty work, as long as the girl tells you to, you can go to the soup and go to the fire."

Shu Yao said: "I want you to kneel, are you willing?" If you want to farm and plough the land, will you? You want to feed horses and pigs, do you understand? ”

Li Zhengyang's face was embarrassed, "I will learn." ”

"You, I, don't understand the first article when you are a slave." Shu Yao despised selling himself for the sake of inexplicable righteousness, "Buying a trained slave from a human tooth is only ten taels of silver, or signing a death contract, I just gave you fifty taels, you can't do anything, you have to find someone to retrain you, not to mention whether you can get started, the effort it takes, why don't I just buy a cheap servant, I want to use you?" ”

Li Zhengyang was speechless, taking Xiucai as a slave, the master's family is not very dignified? How did it change in that little girl's eyes?
