Chapter 19: Accidents
"Brother, what the hell is going on with you?" Sanniang sat down beside Wang Jing and pulled up his left hand to check. There was a three-inch-long wound on his arm, and the bleeding had stopped, and it didn't look too serious, so Sanniang was relieved.
Sanniang looked at Wang Jing carefully again, and saw that he only had a wound on his arm, although his clothes were a little messy, and there were some slight abrasions on his palms, they were not serious.
Wang Jing glanced at Sanniang, and spit out a little: "It's not a big deal, it's just a small bruise." ”
Sanniang didn't accept this perfunctory explanation, just stared at Wang Jing with a smile and didn't speak.
Wang Jing was stared at by Sanniang like this, and he surrendered.
"Today, Mr. asked me to endorse, and my eldest brother and I didn't memorize it well, so Mr. asked me and my eldest brother to stand outside, saying that I was not allowed to go in if I didn't memorize it." Saying this, Wang Jing glanced at Sanniang, and saw that Sanniang did not look disappointed, and felt a little relieved.
"I stood outside and memorized the book for a while, and the eldest brother suddenly came over and said that he knew that there was a new excellent pen and ink shop on Jingyang Street, and that Mr. liked to collect inkstones and pen and ink, so it was better to go to the store with him to find out if he could find a good pen and ink inkstone, and buy it for Mr. so that he could avoid some punishment, which was better than standing there stupidly. I didn't want to go, but my eldest brother said that if I didn't go with him, my husband would blame him more when he saw that I was more obedient than him, so I didn't talk about brotherhood. I couldn't resist him, so I had to follow him. ”
Wang Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head when he said this: "I shouldn't believe the eldest brother, he said that the ink shop was far away and he had to take a carriage, but when he got into the carriage, he asked the coachman to go to the downtown of Xicheng." He also said that it was better to go to the lively place to go shopping first, and maybe he could buy other things that Mr. liked. I saw that I had been deceived, so I insisted on getting off the bus and going back to the school, and by this time the carriage had already arrived in the downtown area. I was in a stalemate with my eldest brother, but I didn't want to think that at this time, there was a trickster who was training a monkey, and the monkey was beaten and fled in all directions, just coming at the horse that was pulling the cart for us, and the horse was caught by the monkey in the eye and was startled and ran wildly. ”
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
Wang Jing was afraid of scaring his sister and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." My eldest brother and I were also taken aback and were thinking about what to do, when the coachman was thrown out by the horse because of an accident. At this time, someone caught up with our carriage and jumped on the horse's back, and it didn't take long for the horse to be quiet. The wound on my hand was cut in the bump by the broken tea bowl in the car. ”
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Guess who's the one who restrained the mad horse?" Wang Jing saw that the atmosphere was finally relaxed, so he wanted to sell Guanzi.
"Who is it? Could it be that we still know such a powerful person? Cinnabar asked first.
Wang Jing looked at Sanniang flatteringly and said, "Sister, you are so smart, guess what?" ”
Sanniang laughed, she was not a fairy.
"I can't guess, brother, don't sell it."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "This person is really someone we know, who should you be?" But it was the Zhang San we met on the way back from the temple that day. ”
A few people in the room, you look at me, I see that you are a little surprised, and Cinnabar is even more directly suspicious: "It's the robber?" How can it be? ”
Wang Jing glared at Cinnabar and said, "What robber?" Brother Zhang is a good person! ”
Sanniang frowned when she heard this, it's only been less than half a day, and even the eldest brother has been called? Although this time thanks to his help, this person's scheming is indeed not insignificant.
"Did he recognize you?" Sanniang asked.
Wang Jing nodded and said, "Although I only stood on the periphery for a while at the beginning that day, but today he was surprised when he saw me coming out of the carriage: 'It's the young master's carriage?' I exchanged a few pleasantries with him. It turned out that he had left home in his early years and worked as a horse seller, so he learned the art of horse taming. ”
"Then why did he come to the city today? Want to cheat again? Cinnabar blinked.
Wang Jing was a little helpless, shook his head and said: "Don't say that, Brother Zhang also had a hard time doing that at that time." ”
"You guys go out first, I have something to say to my brother." Sanniang suddenly interrupted Wang Jing softly and said to everyone.
A few people in the room glanced at each other a few times, but Mama Zhao said: "Miss, you have to talk about the young master, how can he be good if he follows the eldest young master like this again?" Mama Zhao didn't speak just now, with a faint look of disappointment on her face, but when she heard Sanniang say that she wanted to talk to Wang Jing, she raised her hands in approval, she thought that the young lady must be going to beat the young master well, but it was not good to make the young master faceless in front of the maids.
Sanniang didn't explain much, and watched Mama Zhao take a few maids out and bring the door to the room 'considerately'.
"Sister...... I ......" Wang Jing was a little ashamed, and stopped talking.
Sanniang smiled slightly: "I don't want to blame my brother, Sanniang knows that my brother is a person who values affection and righteousness, and he was forced to go out with his eldest brother at that time, not to mess around." ”
Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he didn't have anything on his face just now, he was still talking about Zhang San with everyone, but he was actually a little nervous in his heart, he was afraid that his behavior of skipping school today would disappoint everyone, so just now he actually had some other meanings. Seeing Sanniang retreating from everyone, he also thought the same as Mama Zhao, thinking that Sanniang didn't want to blame him in front of the girls.
Sanniang was a little sad to see him like this, although Wang Jing is only eleven years old this year, there is always an invisible burden pressing on him, plus his honest personality must always have bitterness in his heart, but he has never revealed it in front of her. A teenager of this age is a carefree primary school student in modern times, so Sanniang always feels a little sorry for him.
"Mama, she loves us as her own children, so she also has the mentality of wanting her son to become a dragon, don't blame her." Sanniang looked at Wang Jing and said seriously.
"No, no, I've never blamed Mama, I know she's doing it for my good." Wang Jing shook his hand.
Sanniang nodded, not talking about this topic, lest Wang Jing think about it again.
"Zhang San came to the city today for the sake of the people who were taken into custody in his village?"
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "How does my sister know?" I also heard from Brother Zhang today. ”
Sanniang only said: "I also listened to the white fruit in my house." ”
Wang Jing knew that Bai Guo was the girl who went to find Li Zheng last time, so he was not surprised.
Sanniang asked again: "Then what's going on?" ”
Wang Jing sighed and said, "The people have been released for the time being, presumably Brother Zhang and they have raised a lot of silver." However, I saw that there was no joy on his face today, so I asked, and only then did I know that although he had been released, I did not know if he would be arrested again at any time. ”
Sanniang nodded when she heard this, originally the government arrested people on trumped-up charges, and the purpose was just to blackmail some silver, so naturally she could let this family go and arrest that one, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to end.
"Brother admires Zhang San?" Sanniang suddenly stared at Wang Jingdao.
Wang Jing touched his head when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, he can train horses and kung fu, and he is also very righteous, and today he can help irrelevant people, I have some appreciation for him." As he spoke, he glanced at Sanniang carefully, afraid that she would think it was inappropriate. People of their status should not have anything to do with a person like Zhang San, and even the eldest brother only rewarded this life-saving benefactor today with some silver and did not want to be close to him. Seeing that he was talking to Zhang San, he was also standing far away, and urged him to leave earlier from time to time.
Sanniang smiled at him when she saw this. Wang Jing has always admired those chivalrous warriors with kung fu, and he also respects people with chivalrous spirit, and he himself has a deep hero complex. This is quite normal for a teenager of this age.
"Hearing you say this, this Zhang Sanzhi is really a chivalrous man with affection and righteousness." Teenagers with hero complexes naturally hope that the heroes in their minds will be recognized.
Wang Jing grinned when he heard this, but he couldn't see his teeth.
Sanniang shook her head with a smile, but suddenly said with a straight face: "But brother, you can't have more dealings with him in front of people, otherwise I'm afraid you will cause trouble for him." ”
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
Sanniang said: "The so-called Tao is not the same. You are a son of the Wang family who has not yet made a name, he is a chivalrous man in the market, your interaction will make the world feel weird, if you let the family know, what do you think? ”
Wang Jing's eyes darkened, he naturally knew that the most important thing for people from the family was the concept of the family. If they let their grandmother know that he was dealing with a gangster, I am afraid that it will really cause trouble for Zhang San.
Sanniang couldn't bear to see Wang Jing sad, so after thinking about it, she said: "But the grace of saving your life must be repaid, although you can't have more dealings with him on the bright road, it's okay to help him." ”
Wang Jing raised his head violently, and his face was happy: "Sister, can we help him?" How can it help? ”
Sanniang was also happy when she saw that he was happy, and deliberately sold a pass: "If I say I can help, I can help." ”
Wang Jing nodded when he heard this: "My sister has always been smart, and she must be able to come up with a good way." I also want to help him, and I also want to ask my eldest brother to beg my uncle to let him say hello to the yamen, but if I think about it carefully, I am afraid that this matter is a little difficult. ”
Although Zhang San saved Wang Jing and Wang Ji today, looking at Wang Ji's attitude today, they understand that in their minds, Zhang San's kind of person is not of the same class as them, and this kind of life-saving grace is just thanked with a little silver. Or it is Zhang San himself who is in trouble, and the Wang family will also intervene to help one or two, but if the Wang family wants to help Zhang San harm the interests of a cadre in Qingcheng County for a number of people in their village, even if the county government is willing to sell the face of the Wang family, the Wang family will also worry about whether this will make these small officials have a complaint in their hearts. After all, it is difficult to say the ups and downs of officialdom, and it is better to ignore the idle affairs of unrelated civilians than to offend an official who may have a future future.
