Murong Lang said: "If Master Guo wants to execute the embroidered girl, then I have to intervene." ”

Guo Qianqian pulled down her face: "What is your identity?" Is it your turn to meddle in the affairs of my Guo family? ”

Murong Lang ignored Guo Qianqian, and only asked Master Guo: "What do you want to do to release people?" ”

Master Guo's eyes squinted: "You are not qualified to come and tell me, ask you Lao Tzu to talk to me." ”

"My father is busy with the affairs of the money bank, and he has no time to separate, so you should tell me. If it's a matter of silver taels, it doesn't hurt if you pay more fines. Now that the embroidered woman is already a sinful body, I am afraid that the embroidery workshop will not keep her anymore. Why didn't Master Guo sell his favor and let me redeem her! ”

Before Mr. Guo answered, he caught a glimpse of the little guy in the fish pond pulling up the pig cage again, so he scolded: "Who told you to stop?" ”

When the little guys heard this, they panicked, and a few people lifted the pig cage and threw it into the water.

"Stop!" Murong Lang said in a loud voice, and said to Master Guo, "It is said that Master Guo is generous and merciful, but I didn't expect to kill a weak woman in such a cruel way." ”

When Master Guo heard this, his face immediately changed: "Who is cruel? Who do you say is cruel? ”

"This son, don't talk nonsense." Guo Qianqian saw that Master Guo was also so anxious that she coughed, and hurriedly stepped forward to caress Master Guo's chest with a handkerchief, "Embroidery girls commit crimes, and they are all dealt with according to the rules of the embroidery workshop." This is true of national law, and it is also true of family law. ”

At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan let go of Guo Xiaoxiao, stepped forward and said: "If you really follow the rules of the embroidery workshop, there is a rule that my uncle and sister Qianqian should have been missed." ”

Murong Lang looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and secretly rejoiced.

Jiang Zhiyuan continued: "There is a clear rule in the embroidery workshop that if the embroidery girl wants to redeem herself, the ransom must be increased tenfold according to the price at the time of the sale, so that she can get back her deed of sale. Dare to ask my uncle, is what my nephew said right? ”

Guo Qianqian looked at Master Guo eagerly, Master Guo pretended to cough, and only said after a while: "There is indeed such a rule." ”

"So is Murong Gongzi willing to pay this money?" Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Murong Lang.

Murong Langyun said lightly: "It's just a few silver taels, so naturally I am willing to give it up." ”

"Make things bigger, everyone is unhappy, in the future, the Guo family's embroidery workshop and the Murong family's money are indispensable, and the two are doing business in Yangzhou, so why bother?" Jiang Zhiyuan said well, "It's better for the nephew to do a personal favor, the uncle will charge him more silver taels, and return the embroidered girl's deed of sale, it doesn't hurt for Murong Gongzi to break the bank, the two families will repair it, even if this matter is turned over, what does the uncle think?" ”

Master Guo touched his beard and said, "That's it, let's do it according to my nephew's wishes." ”

Guo Qianqian wanted to speak, but Master Guo had already spoken, so she didn't dare to say anything.

"You, go back to the ancestral hall for me to copy the book." Before leaving, Master Guo did not forget to reprimand Guo Xiaoxiao.

But these are not important to Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao watched the little guy fish the cage out of the water, not to mention how happy he was.

"Open the cage." Guo Xiaoxiao ordered.

The little guys moved very neatly, and soon opened the cage door. Zipei was released like a captured rabbit, and knelt down for Guo Xiaoxiao as soon as he crawled out of the cage.

"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the eldest lady and Commander Jiang!" Zipei had tears in her eyes.

Guo Xiaoxiao stepped forward to help her: "You don't have to thank us. This is the only time, if it happens again in the future, Commander Jiang and I will not care anymore. ”

Zi Pei kowtowed and said, "Yes, yes, Zi Pei will never trouble you and Commander Jiang again." ”

"Later, I will ask someone to return the deed of sale to you, you will be free, and you don't need to worship me anymore."

Guo Xiaoxiao got up after speaking, Jiang Zhiyuan followed, and the two saw Murong Lang when they were about to come out of the reeds.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else, and walked out. Jiang Zhiyuan sighed and said, "It's good to do it yourself." "Gone too.

When Murong Lang came to the cage, she didn't squat down or help her, she got up by herself.

"I didn't expect it to be like this." He said.

"It's okay, Zipei doesn't complain about the son." She bowed her head.

He looked up at the sky and sighed, "Beat the child, and then find a good man to marry." ”

Zipei looked up at him in dismay.

"You're following the wrong person." He said lightly.

"Isn't it even possible to be a rough maid next to Childe?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Childe treats me with affection, from the moment he promised to me, Zipei made up his mind to serve Childe in this life. It's just that Zipei's status is humble, and he doesn't even have his own life, so he doesn't dare to expect Gongzi to accept me. ”

She didn't remember wiping her tears, so she lowered her head and said, "But now, Zipei is free, so she wants to serve Gongzi." Moreover, the ransom is also the mercy of the son, and Zi Peisheng has been a child's person all his life. ”

"You're a good girl, I'm not the one to trust."

Murong Lang didn't dare to look at her eyes, because this girl's pear blossom with rain was really pitiful.

"Childe!" Zipei knelt on the ground, "Don't leave me." You refuse to accept Zipei, and Zipei has nowhere else to go. It seems that I am only living on the streets with the baby in my womb. ”

Murong Lang took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to her: "There are some entanglements here, which can be regarded as making up for you, go find a good family to marry." ”

"Childe!" Zipei tugged at the corner of his clothes, threw herself on him and cried, "Don't be so ruthless! Don't be so ruthless! ”

Murong Lang closed his eyes tightly, looked up to the sky and sighed, broke Zipei's hand in one go, and then raised his feet to leave. Zipei fell to the ground, sharp stones against her hands.

"Childe, don't go! Don't go," she lay on the ground and wept silently.

The cool September breeze blew through the ends of her hair and between her fingers, but it was no match for the cold inside her.

Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on Jiang Zhiyuan's back, and the two rode a white horse together. Originally, they were in a hurry, and they couldn't help but walk bumpy, but now there is nothing important, and the two of them have been wandering on the road for a long time.

Seeing her frowning, Jiang Zhiyuan lowered his head and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes diverged, and he looked a little stunned, but did not answer.

"Is it something you want to do in Zipei?" Jiang Zhiyuan tugged at the reins in his hand, "Do you think Murong Lang is not worth it for her to do this." But she didn't listen to anyone's advice, and put her heart on Murong Lang. When the incident happened in the east window, he didn't seek self-preservation, but thought about giving birth to a child for Murong Lang regardless of his own life. Am I right? ”

Xiaolan went to the neighborhood in the south of the city two days ago to inquire about the Murong family, and came back to say that Murong Lang relied on himself as the eldest son and sister-in-law in the family, so he commanded and had no one in his eyes. not only hooks up with girls all day long, but also relies on his own money to make him rich and unmotivated.

Guo Xiaoxiao said lightly: "You say, why is she doing this? ”

Jiang Zhiyuan smiled: "You, you are a young lady from a family, I have never seen the humble appearance of these people with no identity and no status." That Murong Lang has fine skin and tender meat, he is a white-faced boy, he is eloquent, generous and romantic, he knows how to please the girl's family, and the girl in the boudoir has never seen the world, so it is inevitable that he will fall in love with him. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao gasped: "Let's go, I want to go home." ”

"Isn't that walking?"

"I mean, hurry up."

"Okay." He flicked the reins, "You say hurry up, hurry up." ”

It didn't take long for the white horse to rush into Yaohua Lane and arrive at Guo's mansion. Jiang Zhiyuan jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to pick up Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and then threw himself into his arms.

"You're getting a little impulsive today." He didn't let go of her.

She pushed him by the hand and said, "Isn't that you?" ”

"What if I'm not there?" He asked, looking down.

"You're getting more and more presumptuous, beware of other looks." She blushed and pushed him away, and ran straight into the house. He laughed and led the horse to the side and leashed it, and then followed.

As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao came back, he ran to the ancestral hall. Xiaolan saw that her complexion was not very good, so she knew that Zipei's matter did not end well, so she didn't dare to mention it to Guo Xiaoxiao, but just asked her if she wanted to eat something.

Guo Xiaoxiao had no intention of eating, and when he entered the ancestral hall, he knelt on the futon and looked at the ancestral tablet in a daze.

After a long while, Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Go get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

Xiaolan didn't know what she was going to do, and she didn't dare to ask, so she immediately went back to the east wing to get something.

Jiang Zhiyuan saw that the door of the ancestral hall was open, so he quietly entered. Guo Xiaoxiao saw that he was idle, so he ordered: "Go and help me bring the square table for writing." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan was stunned, this girl dared to use him as a servant. He smiled helplessly and placed the square table in front of the futon. Just as Xiaolan came in and put things on the table. Guo Xiaoxiao waved his hand to let Xiaolan step back, picked up the pen and paper and copied the book.

Master Guo punished her for copying the code of embroidery women, and she was angry in her heart, so she copied it when she came back, and she didn't relax for a moment.

Jiang Zhiyuan found a futon and sat down with his feet open, but Guo Xiaoxiao straightened up and didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

"Don't be in such a hurry." He said.

She copied it on her own and ignored it.

Seeing that she was working hard, he said again, "Let's rest for a while." ”

After about two or three hours, it slowly became dark. In autumn, it gets darker than before. On the way, Xiaolan came to open the door and took a few looks, but when she saw that Guo Xiaoxiao was still leaning over the square table to write, she quietly retreated.

Master Guo returned home earlier than Guo Xiaoxiao, but he didn't come to visit, and Mrs. Guo didn't pay attention. Guo Xiaoxiao's ink dried and dried, and Jiang Zhiyuan sharpened the ink for her.

She wanted to rest her hands halfway, but when she remembered the righteous and awe-inspiring appearance of her father when he was about to execute Zi Pei today, she felt annoyed and angry, and she had to finish copying it. After she finished copying Jiang Zhiyuan, she helped her put the paper on her right hand, and before she knew it, a large stack was piled up.

Jiang Zhiyuan secretly looked at her eyebrows, ashamed and angry, and a little cute. That's what she is, she doesn't say a word when she's angry, and just does things that seem to be fighting back but are actually useless. It's not too late to copy these rules tomorrow, anyway, Master Guo didn't stipulate that she would finish copying them in a few days, but she was angry in her heart, that is, she wanted to "copy it quickly".
