Chapter 13 Pledge by example

owed money to others, Song Yao couldn't get angry, so she had to accompany her smiling face to show her attitude.

"You are a woman's family, and you can't earn a thousand taels in your life, right? I think you're just trying to pay the bill! Zhu Xin glared at Song Yao with a wary face, "Don't you want to play the trick of making promises with your body, it is impossible for my son-in-law to marry a woman with children, even if you are a widow, you are not even qualified to be a concubine for our son-in-law!" ”

However, after such a glare, Zhu Xin found that the other party was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

The smile on Song Yao's face disappeared instantly, she slapped her face on the table, and scolded with one hand: "I'm bah!" Is it great that your son-in-law is noble and looks more beautiful than a woman? Mother, I am so free with my son, why do I have to practice myself, run to be a concubine for others, and compete with a large litter of women for a stallion? Today, the old lady is tight, and she can't afford to pay back the silver before she whispers, don't think that you don't know what your surname is if you give you a good face, and quickly take the IOU after eating and get out, and the old lady will pay you back with interest a year later! ”

Song Yao's sudden change of face made Zhu Xin choke, and the words stuck in his throat when he reached his mouth, making him uncomfortable.

However, the beautiful man looked at Song Yao with interest, and had no intention of making a sound.

"You are a bad person, my mother will not be a concubine, and she will not pay back the silver, we just don't have so much silver for the time being!" Song Yuanbao saw that the old lady was angry, and immediately changed camps, stood beside Song Yao, and stared at Zhu Xin vigorously with his small body: "Although I am still young, I am also a man, my mother said that this family will be handed over to me sooner or later, I can write an IOU to you, I am a man and will not take a fancy to your master, this time you are relieved, right?" ”

Looking at Song Yuanbao's hostile eyes, Zhu Xin was a little embarrassed, he forgot that there was a little doll here, and what he said just now should indeed be tactful.

"My place is too small to sit down with two people of such honorable status, so I will present the IOU, and this hundred taels of silver is my extra thanks. It's just that our orphans and widows need to avoid suspicion, so we can only ask Engong to find a restaurant to eat. Perfunctory to the lower body, Song Yao turned around and went to find the four treasures of the study, not planning to keep the two more.

Song Yuanbao stared at the two of them like little adults, as if as soon as his gaze left, they would do something unfavorable to Song Yao.

Soon, Song Yao wrote an IOU and pressed her handprint in front of the beautiful man.

"At this time next year, if I can't repay Engong a thousand taels of silver, or have an inheritance of the same value to pay off the debt, our mother and son will be at Engong's disposal." Pushing the IOU in front of the beautiful man, Song Yao made a formulaic gesture of please, "The door is over there, and the two of you will not send it slowly." ”

Glancing at the IOU, although he had some appreciation for Song Yao's words, it was not to the point of being amazed, and the beautiful man got up and left without the slightest displeasure.

Although he is so interested in Song Yao, he has always been as arrogant as him, how can he not leave after the other party drives people away? But since he was a child, he never showed his true emotions in front of outsiders, and his bleak expression was his best protective color.

As soon as Zhu Xin was about to walk up to chase his master, Song Yuanbao grabbed his shirt, stuffed the IOU into his hand, and said seriously: "We won't pay the bills, but you must remember to come and get the silver at this time next year, otherwise you will charge interest if you keep it here for safekeeping, in case you don't come to take the silver for decades, won't my mother and I have to stay here and wait?" So, three years at most! If you don't see the IOU, the 1,000 taels of silver will become a storage fee. ”

The corners of Zhuxin's mouth twitched fiercely, the first time I saw such a small money fan who can settle accounts, the three-year storage fee is 1,000 taels of silver, and he also wants to take this job, or the more the better.

The beautiful man who walked to the door, after hearing Song Yuanbao's words, also raised a light smile on the corner of his mouth, just like the sunshine of this spring, bright and dazzling.

Song Yao, who was in a bad mood, received a letter from the county government in the evening, and she didn't have to prepare dinner for the guests tonight, but she was happy, so she simply accompanied her son to paint simplified paintings at home and appreciate the parent-child time.

Knowing that his mother was angry, Song Yuanbao played the treasure hard, and was so tired that the mother and son fell asleep after a night of madness.

At midnight, the husband beat the drum of the third watch, and every family has rested, only the land of flowers and willows is still singing.

Outside Song's sister-in-law's noodle restaurant, a few sneaky people came to the courtyard with the jar, discussed something with a gesture, and soon picked the door lock and came to the noodle restaurant.

The leader rushed into the kitchen, smashed the oil jar on the wood, threw a fire fold over, and ran out quickly.

In the lobby, several other people also stacked tables, chairs, and benches under the windows or by the pillars.

"Ignition!" The leader searched around the counter, only found a few dozen copper coins, scolded in his arms and ran out of the store, and several other people disappeared with a puff of smoke after igniting the fire.

In the back house, Song Yuanbao, who drank a lot of soup during the day, got up in a daze and shh

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" Song Yuanbao rubbed his big eyes, hurriedly ran towards Song Yao's room, patted Song Yao's door hard, and shouted loudly: "Mother, get up, our noodle restaurant is on fire, what a fire!" ”

Song Yao quickly came out dressed in clothes, and her first reaction was to hug her son tightly, the red fire reflected on the faces of the mother and son, as if the fire dragon was about to devour them at any time, making them seem so weak and helpless.

kept telling herself in her heart to be calm, let Song Yuanbao stand in an open place, Song Yao turned around and went back to the house to get two cloaks to wet with water, but she couldn't see Song Yuanbao after going out, she was anxious and shouted loudly: "Smash, where are you?" Come out and don't scare your mother! ”

"Ahem! Mother, I'm here. Song Yuanbao came out of his room and replied with his mouth covered.

"Let's go, we need to get out of here." Putting a cloak on Song Yuanbao, Song Yao squinted and said, "Smash it, cover your mouth and nose, grab your mother and don't let go, you know?" ”

The fire has not yet spread to the backyard, so Song Yao does not have to rush to run for her son with her son, she still retains her sanity, she knows very well that water and fire are ruthless, in this era of wood as the main building material, once the fire spreads, the neighbors on this street will suffer.

The loss of money is small, and if someone can't escape, she won't be at ease in her life.

Unable to cover his mouth and nose, Song Yao beat the wooden stick in one hand and the copper basin in the other, and shouted in his mouth: "It's water, everyone run!" Let's go to the water! ”

Song Yao shouted at the top of his voice, which was extremely loud in the silent night sky, and Song Yuanbao shouted with Song Yao in the same way.

After a while, I heard the sound of neighbors running out and shouting for firefighting, and gradually people in the street got up to participate in the firefighting.
