Third Young Master Dong has been in a very depressed mood these days, and he has not gone to several literary meetings.

Jia Qing came back with that words, vaguely powerful, saying that the junior third room of Yongning Bofu has been working abroad for more than ten years, and he has just returned to the capital, and the people don't know much about the temper and character of the two girls, Li Wuye and Li Liuye are so good, and these two girls are not bad.

This is enough, but Jia Qing muttered a few more vague words, saying that he heard a few people who often come and go to Gaoyou to run business, when the Li family's small third room was in Gaoyou, everyone knew that the two girls of the Li County Zun family were not simple, and the little one, followed her brother and uncle, and that gentleman, ran around in Gaoyou County all day long, and fought with people.

I can't think about these words, how can a really capable little lady have such a reputation, even the businessmen who come and go to Gaoyou to do business know it, it can be seen that this reputation is not a good reputation, not to mention that there have been fights!

Jia Qing, an eight-sided and exquisite helper, of course he won't say anything bad, at most, he will just say it a little bit, and what he says is how good it sounds.

Alas, the sixth lady, looking gentle and gentle, didn't expect it to be such a jealous person...... It was he who was careless, that day on a blind date, her two sisters didn't behave like that, her family smiled and didn't mean to blame at all, he should have thought at that time, such a style, where can the sixth lady go?

Now the small Dingli has been ordered, the orderer, the Dingye!

This sixth lady, if there are two brothers who are not so good, he is not afraid, but he is not trained and trained more, but now, her brother Li Wuye has received the title of secretary in the Ministry of War, and he is next to the prince to counsel military affairs.

That Sixth Master Li, now he has a good relationship with the Sixth Young Master of the Gu Family, at the literary meeting, if there is the Sixth Young Master of the Gu Family, there must be the Sixth Master of the Li Family, and there are people in the capital who call out the four great talents......

The more Third Young Master Dong thought about it, the more depressed he became, with such two brothers, what could he do to this Hedong lion? How dare he? If he dares, some people in the family will beat him and dare not do anything.

The third young master of Dong slumped his shoulders, put his hands behind his back, dragged his steps, and walked aimlessly along the lively and bustling Panlou Street.

At the door of Yao's bead shop, a man about thirty years old, wearing a crab shell blue dark pattern brocade straight coat, with a good temperament, looked extremely elegant and amiable, looking anxiously left and right.

When the man saw Third Young Master Dong, his brows furrowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and went down the steps, as if he hesitated again, he turned back to the steps, just raised one foot and stepped back, stepped back, stepped on his foot, and rushed up to meet Third Young Master Dong.

This man's clothing and temperament are very good, the third young master Dong has already seen him, and after watching him entangled, he rushed up to meet him, paused, and looked at the man curiously.

The man walked up to the third young master Dong and bowed to the end, "This son, at first glance, you are a good person, under the surname Zhang, a single name and a benevolent character, the day before yesterday I just came to the capital from Gaoyou, preparing to take the exam next year's spring school, this is ......"

Zhang Ren's words were sticky, and that embarrassed and embarrassed look made Third Young Master Dong feel embarrassed and sad, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, say something slowly." ”

"At first glance, the little brother is a well-educated person, and he is in this ...... This one...... Alas! Zhang Ren stomped his foot, "Below, I want to ask the little brother for a small favor, with a gesture." In the lower nature of the wooden, can't speak, if it's not extremely embarrassing, in the lower ...... In the next ......, "Zhang Ren's tears came out.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, Brother Zhang's temper can also be seen below, if you want to help, you can talk about it first." Third Young Master Dong couldn't bear to look at Zhang Ren who was anxious to shed tears.

Zhang Ren looked even more embarrassed and embarrassed, subconsciously glanced left and right, gently pulled the third young master Dong, stood under the signboard of the Yao family's bead shop, and looked around again, "The son's demeanor is extraordinary, at first glance, he has an excellent background and upbringing, and the son's surname is noble?" It's Dong Sangongzi, polite. Next...... I don't think Childe will laugh at it, it's really ......"

Zhang Ren raised his hand and wiped his face, and sighed, "Alas! Yesterday, I accompanied the insiders to the Yao family's bead shop, and the insiders took a fancy to a golden crown of leaves in the shop at a glance, and the insiders returned a little price according to the rules of our Gaoyou, and it was only three or five taels of silver, who knows......"

Third Young Master Dong pursed his lips and laughed when he heard this.

Zhang Ren looked at him and smiled, followed by a wry smile, "Outsiders have just arrived, and they don't understand the rules of the capital, how do you know that this Yao family's bead shop is not interested in bargaining." Uchiko's temper ...... Slightly bigger, yesterday I left in a rage, and I went home in the evening, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this leaf golden crown was good, early this morning, let me buy this leaf gold crown, who knows, I was in a hurry to go out, this purse ......" Zhang Ren pulled his sleeves in embarrassment, "I forgot to bring it." ”

Third Young Master Dong frowned.

"Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but I forgot to go back and get it." Zhang Ren continued, "But the cabinet said, the crown of leaves, yesterday afternoon another person took a fancy to it, but also did not bring enough silver, said that this morning took the silver and came to buy again, in the next is afraid to go back this trip, my house is far away from here, in the area of Yinan Bridge, wait for the next and come back, this golden crown will be bought by others nine times out of ten." ”

Third Young Master Dong nodded while listening, "Yinan Bridge? That's not close. Hearing the end, he laughed out loud, "Brother Tai is really, a crown, it's a big deal to let them play another one, but they can't buy it, and it doesn't matter." ”

"The third prince doesn't know." Zhang Ren's shoulders drooped down, he was depressed, and he snorted, "In the lower inner child...... In the next, that, Uchiko is not very good-tempered, in the next...... Next...... I'm scared. If you can't buy this crown today, it's ...... Maybe you'll have to kneel all night. ”

Third Young Master Dong glared at Zhang Ren, and burst out laughing, just after a few laughs, the smile was fixed on his face, his daughter-in-law who had never passed the door was not very good-tempered......

"Ugh." Third Young Master Dong's shoulders also drooped, he sighed, raised his hand and patted Zhang Ren's shoulder, "Our family rarely comes to this Yao family's bead shop, and we don't know their shopkeepers, otherwise ......"

Third Young Master Dong sighed heavily, this Brother Zhang's today is his tomorrow.

"Can the third prince do me a favor, look at it for a while in this bead shop, and come on horseback below, then rush back to get the silver, at most half an hour, it's really ......" Zhang Ren's face was full of shame, and he kept shaking it, looking at it like that, he was so embarrassed that he almost cried loudly, "Neizi's temper is really ...... in Xia It's ......."

When Third Young Master Dong heard this, he asked him to look at the golden crown for a while, and without hesitation for a moment, he agreed: "It's easy, I happen to be fine, I'll watch it for you for a while, half an hour, right?" Okay, you go and come back quickly, alas, you and I ......"

In the latter words, Third Young Master Dong couldn't say it, he and he are both fallen people at the end of the world, so if you can help, you can help it.

Zhang Ren couldn't say anything when he was moved and excited, so he gave seven or eight deep bows to the third young master Dong, and let the third young master Dong enter the bead shop of the Yao family.

Yao's bead shop is one of the best pearl and jade jewelry shops in the capital, the third young master Dong has been admiring it for a long time, and he has also come in and turned around a few times, but he left after a glance, the things in this shop, their Dong family can't afford it.

Sitting in the cubicle behind the bead curtain, fragrant tea and snacks, and a thick stack of new books next to it, the third young master Dong San, who was already a little tired, was very satisfied, this favor was a good help, he helped Brother Zhang Ren, and he could rest comfortably for a while.

The guy came in with the golden crown of leaves and put it on the round table in the center, Zhang Ren explained to the man in a hurry, ran out of the door with him, got on the horse and left.

Third Young Master Dong first picked up the golden crown of leaves, turned it over and looked carefully, this golden crown made a thin gold sheet to make the appearance of leaves, stacked one by one, rich and elegant, how much silver does this golden crown get? Brother Zhang's family is rich......

Third Young Master Dong admired the golden crown for a while, put it down carefully, flipped through a stack of new books, picked one, looked at the book, drank fragrant tea, and ate a piece of snack, which was very pleasant.

While he was relaxing, there was a noise outside.

"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen this golden crown?" A shrill voice rang out.

didn't wait for Third Young Master Dong to stand up and go out to see the excitement, but the excitement came at him.

The bead curtain was lifted, and the man pointed to the golden crown of leaves on the round table, followed by the man's brocade woman, stepped forward, picked up the golden crown, turned it over, and pointed to it to the man, "That's it, look at it, this is the mark of our family." ”

A strong sense of foreboding swelled in the heart of the Third Young Master Dong, and he hurriedly stood up, just about to explain, the woman in brocade stepped forward, and stood only half a step away from the Third Young Master Dong, "What about your good brother?" Yes? What about Zhang Ren? What about Zhang Ren? ”

"Why are you so rude!" The third young master Dong couldn't open his eyes when he was sprayed by his mother-in-law's saliva, and his angry lips were trembling.

"Phew!" The mother-in-law spat on the face of the third young master Dong, "Don't think that you are the young master of the Hanlin family, you can do anything wrong!" I ask you, what about Zhang Ren? The big guys are here to judge! The mother-in-law didn't allow the third young master Dong to speak at all, grabbed him, dragged out the bead curtain, and stood in the lobby of the Yao family's bead shop, her voice was louder than the celebrant of the Great Dynasty.

"The big guys are here to judge! We are a prostitute family in Yinanqiao, a small family, raising several children, all of whom are in pain as our own daughters. The third son of the Hanlin family, for his brother Zhang Ren as a guarantor, ten days ago, combed my little daughter Hongxing, from that day to yesterday, these ten days, his brother Zhang Ren, has never been out of the house, my family Hongxing ......"

The mother-in-law howled twice, "Pity my little girl, weak willow and wind, peach and apricot blossom-like character, I raised this little girl, I didn't plan to let her pick up guests, I just wanted to find her a rich and good family, carry it in to live a stable life, that Zhang Ren swore a poisonous oath that he would carry my little girl into the door, but I couldn't help it, it became a good thing to ask for the first, and my heart was soft......"

Third Young Master Dong was dumbfounded when he heard this, where is this? This matter has nothing to do with him, I have to make it clear quickly, how does this woman know that he is from the Hanlin family? Why do you hold him and don't let go? How can this be done in full view?

"You want to run too!" The mother-in-law grabbed the third young master Dong who was trying to break free, and then cried twice, "Ladies and gentlemen, you judge a reason, Zhang Ren, the brother of the third young master of the Hanlin family, combed my red apricots, and tossed my red apricots for ten days, I didn't give a lot of money, and I promised to carry my red apricots home, I just want to let the red apricots have a place to rely on, and have a stable life, you Hanlin family, how can you do such a thing that lacks virtue and smokes!" ”

"It's not me! I do not know! "Third Young Master Dong is in a hurry, he's really a hell, what about Zhang Ren? Where is this Zhang Ren?

"Yesterday, that Zhang Ren broke the golden crown of my red apricot, I said that I asked someone to take it to repair it, that Zhang Ren had to take it to repair it himself, what red apricot things he was reluctant to let others take, he had to do it himself, who knows, yesterday morning, he took this crown, and there was no shadow!"

The mother-in-law grabbed the third young master Dong tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, she beat her chest and feet, and it was very lively.

"My red apricot, crying to death several times, pity my red apricot!" The mother-in-law's crying is very pleasant.

The third young master's idea of struggling and arguing was crushed by the high-pitched, loud and airtight cry of his mother-in-law.

"This grandmother, don't worry, Dong Hanlin's family is in our capital, and they also have a name and surname, don't worry, people can always find it." The guy took advantage of his mother-in-law's gasping effort, and hurriedly interjected and persuaded.

"That's right! That Zhang Ren is a close friend of the third young master of your Hanlin family, or a relative, right? That's it, if I can't find Zhang Ren, I'll look for you! The mother-in-law was in good spirits, and stepped forward with both hands, grabbing the third young master Dong.

"I don't know ...... Zhang" Before the third young master Dong finished speaking, he was interrupted by his mother-in-law, "Do you want to wave your hand and take it off?" Third young master, you have to have a little conscience, what should I do with my red apricots? Yes? What should I do with my red apricots? ”

"Ahem!" Among the people watching the excitement next to him, a middle-aged man who looked quite old and virtuous stepped forward, "Mom, don't worry, I think this little brother is an honest man, look at it, this anxious face is blue, don't worry, mom, you let the third son say a few words, the third son, don't worry, talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Third Young Master Dong looked at the middle-aged man with infinite gratitude, "Thank you for your righteousness......"

"Say it quickly, look at it, mom is going to be anxious again." The middle-aged man happily interrupted the words of Third Young Master Dong.

"Yes, yes, I don't know Zhang Ren, he said he lives in Yinan Bridge......"

"He lives in Yinan Bridge? Third Young Master, you and your acquaintance Zhang Ren are really good brothers, even the ability to blush first when talking and talk nonsense with a red face is exactly the same! "The mother-in-law looks very angry.

"Mom, don't worry, let the third son finish, the third son, you say." The middle-aged man was good-natured and persuaded again.

"I don't know Zhang Ren, I really don't know, I just met him on this street, he said he wanted to buy this crown, he didn't bring a purse, let me help him look at this crown, he ......"

"Buy? What about the shopkeeper? Tell me, this crown belongs to your family? Buy? The mother-in-law screamed in a sharp voice.

The guy next to him shook his head, looked at the third young master Dong and said with a smile: "As soon as you come in, don't you just say that the little one is repaired, don't you still hold it and watch it for a long time." ”

Third Young Master Dong stared at the guy dumbfounded, when he came in, this guy said a few words, at that time Zhang Ren was talking to him, he didn't pay attention to what the guy said......

"I met someone I didn't know on the street, and he said that he would let you come in and look at this crown, and you came in and looked at it and didn't move? Third Young Master, what are you saying to coax ghosts? Third Young Master, this person has to have a conscience, you have to think about my family's red apricots! You have to have a little conscience! The mother-in-law grabbed the third young master Dong and crossed her feet, so that she was almost close to the face of the third young master Dong and sprayed his saliva.

"Third son," the middle-aged man took another step forward, "You still let that Brother Zhang Ren come over, but it's a prostitute, to make it clear, don't send a few taels of silver too much, why bother...... Look at the people on the third floor and the outer three layers here, the face of the third son is more important. ”

"I don't know!" Third Young Master Dong was anxious with a layer of sweat on his forehead, how could he not understand such a clear thing.

"That mother, one is gone, isn't there another one, what are you anxious about, carry your red apricot to this son, look at how good this son is, your red apricot will definitely not be able to ask for it!" In the crowd, an idler who watched the excitement shouted.

There was a cheer around, "Yes, yes, yes, how noble the Hanlin family is, don't care about Zhang Ren or not, just carry your red apricot to this son, is your red apricot good-looking?" can be worthy of this son. ”

"That's good! It's cheaper for your red apricot, and it's cheaper for this son, a talented and beautiful woman, this is a brother! ”

……

Third Young Master Dong was sweating all over when he heard this, he was deceived by someone, and he already understood at this time.

The mother-in-law, who was crying in a low voice and a high voice, chuckled, "Thank you for your advice, this is very true, since the third young master bears it for the Zhang Ren brother of your family, then you have to bear it to the end, my family's red apricot, the old woman will send a small sedan chair to the third young master." ”

Third Young Master Dong was about to cry in a hurry, if a small sedan chair carried a red apricot to his door, his house would ...... and his Hedong lion, even if he explained it clearly, his family would have to beat him half to death.

"Mom, don't do that." The middle-aged man who had been helping the third young master Dong to speak stepped forward, sighed and persuaded: "The third prince covers for his brother, this is exactly what the gentleman did, don't worry, mother, let's do it, mother let go of the third son first, give the third son a few days, let him persuade his brother Zhang Ren, and end the good thing between him and your red apricot, you will carry the red apricot to the Hanlin Mansion, but it is not only difficult for the third son, but also difficult for your red apricot." ”

"I don't know ......" As soon as Third Young Master Dong spoke, he was stopped by the middle-aged man frowning and raising his hand, "Third Young Master, what do you mean by saying such things again?" I have said good things for you for half a day, and if you say such things again, even I have nothing to say. ”

Third Young Master Dong opened his mouth, was slammed by his mother-in-law, and swallowed back the argument in the back, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, this is the capital, there are reasonable places, he can always explain clearly, he is innocent!

"Since this gentleman says so, all right, I'll give him a day, what time is it? At the beginning of the afternoon, by the beginning of tomorrow, if you can't see Zhang Ren's people, Third Young Master, my family's red apricot will ask you to be more loving and considerate in the future. "The mother-in-law is very refreshing.

"I don't ......"

"Don't speak, the third son!" The middle-aged man stopped the third young master Dong sharply, and turned to look at his mother-in-law, "Mom, one day is too tight, three days, after three days, the friend of the third son will not settle the matter of the red apricot with you, you will carry the red apricot to our third son, you can rest assured, our third son is a pity for the jade, and he will definitely not treat the red apricot badly." ”

"Done!" The mother-in-law responded very happily, pushed away the third young master Dong, clapped her hands, looked at the middle-aged man, and leaned towards the third young master Dong, "Three days!" Third Young Master, you can remember, there are only three days!

Also, I can tell you, don't underestimate us too much, we don't have the ability to get things done, but if you want to spoil your good deeds, it's not difficult!

It's better for you to leave a way for others to live, it's really urgent, three watches in the middle of the night, if our red apricot hangs on the head of the gate of your Hanlin Mansion with a rope...... Hum! ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly, turned around, and saw the onlookers on the third floor and the outer three layers from the shopkeeper of the Yao family's bead shop, "The big guys have all seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, this matter is fine, I invite everyone to drink a glass of thin wine, if it is not good...... When the time comes, please be a witness! ”

The mother-in-law turned around and made a blessing ceremony, stood up straight, glanced at the third young master Dong again, snorted coldly again, and threw the handkerchief away.

The shopkeeper hurriedly commanded the guys to drive people out, and the middle-aged man pulled the third young master Dong over, "Third young master, don't blame me for being troublesome, this is a trap." ”

As soon as the third young master Dong heard the word trap, tears fell, and someone finally knew that he was wronged. "I don't really know ......"

"I know, that Zhang Ren, I know who it is, how can you know someone like Zhang Ren? I know, Third Young Master, listen to me," the middle-aged man pulled Third Young Master Dong out of the bead shop, looked left and right, pulled him into a teahouse next to him, asked for a bowl of Qingxin soothing soup, and pushed it to Third Young Master Dong. "The third young master will drink a bowl of soup first to calm down."

Third Young Master Dong raised his head and drank the soup, and let out a long breath, he felt much better.

"That Zhang Ren, in this Dongcheng is also a character who is not up or down, he is not short of silver, he is bad, he is born bad, he is happy to play tricks on people all day long, and he plays tricks on people, no light or heavy, last month, he pretended to be someone's husband, and tossed a little daughter-in-law in her early twenties to death."

Third Young Master Dong's face turned white when he heard this, and he stared at the middle-aged man with frightened eyes.

"This person, I heard, his home is in Nanshuimen, I don't know where it is, I don't dare to mess with such a person." The middle-aged man looked left and right, leaned forward, "Third Young Master, I think, the mother-in-law just now may be in the same group as Zhang Ren, I won't let you argue anymore, because I don't know where their backhands are, according to common sense, whoever encounters what happened just now will be able to distinguish clearly, right?" ”

Third Young Master Dong kept nodding, of course the score was clear!

"Human nature, this back hand must be in this clear distinction, so I didn't let you argue more, so that you wouldn't fall into their trap."

Third Young Master Dong thought about it and nodded slowly, which made sense.

"Why did I let you accept it first, because, we know that this Zhang Ren's home is in the South Water Gate, we have three days, in these three days, no matter what happens to him Zhang Ren, he has to go back home, let's guard the South Water Gate, as long as we see Zhang Ren, catch him, and stuff him into the mother-in-law's hand, whether they are dog eat dog, or a litter of dogs, it has nothing to do with us." The middle-aged man smiled: "Third young master, did you say that?" ”

Third Young Master Dong thought for a moment, and snorted, this is the truth, take the person, no need to argue, everything will fall into place, and it will be clearly understood.
