Chapter 153: The Aftermath
When people are faced with death, it seems that there is only good and no evil.
It is summer, the dazzling sun is overwhelming on the long street, and the place that should have been bustling in the past is now quiet and quiet, which makes people panic.
Du Ruo's ears were only filled with the sound of Cai's rapid breathing and vomiting blood, and she struggled a few times and finally let go of her hand and closed her eyes.
"Hold on a little longer! I'm going to find Lang Zhong! ”
Du Ruo shook her a few times, and finally burst into tears.
There is generally nothing going on in Fengling County, but in the past year or two, once something happens, it will all be a major event, either a heinous crime or a bloody storm.
Such a frightening thing suddenly happened on the street of righteousness, and for several days, people did not dare to come out, and closed the door early as soon as it was dark, but there was a lot of talk behind their backs.
There is nothing strange about the search for the sun in the city, but it is really unusual to say, and many people secretly speculate about conspiracy theories.
Du Ruo sat cross-legged on the mat, her paintbrush resting on the inkstone, she looked at the painting in front of her and listened intently to the guests in the next room and Baodie Feng Ning talking about what happened that day.
Chua is dead. She said such heartless words to Song Ju'an that day, and the two have not met again.
After talking for a long time, they moved on to something else, and laughter came from time to time.
Du Ruo picked up the pen again, trying to calm himself through painting.
The house where she lived was originally rented, but because she wanted to take shape in the pattern of an embroidery village, she bought it in its entirety for money. He also asked people to ask if anyone wanted to come to work, and the female workers who came here naturally had to be verified by the exam, but Du Ruo's requirements for them were a little more lenient.
A few days later, after Feng Ning, Baodie and the other three embroidery girls in the shop arrived, they told Du Ruo that Yu Shaotang asked someone to intercept them in the middle of the road, saying that they would invite them to Jinfangzhai for twice the salary, and promised a lot of benefits.
"This Yu Shaotang, after I invited him to dinner that day, he secretly asked someone to ask what I wanted to do, and he didn't agree to what I said about cooperation, and now he is digging into my corner, it's really insidious!" Du Ruo said angrily.
"It's rare that you didn't forget us after you got rich, and you asked us to come over to do things together and give us the opportunity to make money, how can we do something betrayal!" Bao Die laughed.
"Yes, I said that our boss Du called a carriage to pick us up every day, and he also said that he would give us a carriage!" Feng Ning pouted and said, "Who doesn't know that he is a person who sees money and cares about it!" ”
"We're not going!"
"Boss Du treats us very well, as long as we don't drive us away, we will continue to work here."
Several others chimed in.
Du Ruo smiled slightly and said to them: "The five newly recruited female workers will come over tomorrow, I will ask them to follow you to see and learn first, and ask a few people to teach patiently." ”
"This July 7 is also coming soon, and the discounts made by our shop, everyone also keeps in mind that if you spend 30 taels of silver, you can give or subtract it, and spend 70 taels of silver or 100 taels of silver...... And so it is. This is true every year after that. ”
"We remember." Several people hurriedly responded.
Du Ruo nodded.
When she went downstairs, she saw a man with a tiger's back standing at the counter and asking Li Fangqing what to say, the familiar back and voice were her younger brother Du Ercheng.
I haven't seen him for half a year, but he has grown a lot stronger.
"Why is the tailor's shop next door closed? What about the people inside? Du Ercheng asked.
"Huh? Who are you? I didn't do it over there! Li Fangqing replied to him.
"If you don't do it, what about the boss there?" Du Ercheng wiped the sweat on his head and asked again, he was still carrying something on his shoulder.
"Boss! This man is looking for you! Li Fangqing and Du Ruo shouted.
Du Ercheng turned around and looked over, a little surprised, "Second sister!" His gaze swept around and fell on her, "Why did you move this way?!" ”
"Move here for business." Du Ruo looked at him with a smile, and asked him to take the things he brought aside, "You came by yourself?" ”
"Aang! Who else in our family is coming to see you but me?! Du Ercheng fanned with his hand, and glanced at the shop a few times, still looking surprised.
"Come with me and wash your face!" Du Ruo said to him.
After washing his face with cold water, drinking water again, and resting for a long time, Du Ercheng eased up.
"Actually, there is no one at home, and I am going to go home in the next two days!" Du Ruo said to him.
"What are you doing when you go home? Dad and mother are going to scold you when they think about it now, since they heard that their brother-in-law is doing things in the yamen, they hate you and hate your teeth, you can leave if you have a good home! Now the Song family is having a better life! ”
"I'm not having a bad day, the Baohua clothes next to me and the yard here are all mine." Du Ruo said.
Du Ercheng hurriedly looked at it with his eyes again, "Really? He was incredulous.
Du Ruo smiled, "Why did you come here suddenly?" ”
As soon as Du Ruo asked, Du Ercheng's angry head smoked, "I just talked to my sister-in-law for a few words, and I was not happy with Dacheng, so I wanted to drive me away!" Daddy scolded me for throwing away a new axe for chopping wood! I originally wanted to go to the eldest sister's house, but you know the temper of the eldest sister, even if she scolds the eldest brother-in-law, she even scolds me! She still annoys me a few times! I'll come to you for a few days and come back, and in that package are some of my clothes! ”
Du Ruo: "......" He really spends his days and nights doing what he wants!
"It's just so that you came, so I don't have to go back." Du Ruo said, "The business of Baohua clothes next to it is not bad, and I am ready to open the shop here again, but it is ......."
The man told her to kill Song Ju'an within half a month, otherwise she would die, and there were still two days left. Regardless of whether something happens to her or not, she has to be prepared, in case ...... Then these have to be arranged and explained, and the Du family will come, after all, they are all her relatives, who will they not give them to?
"You're here, just take care of it for me here!" Du Ruo continued.
Du Ercheng laughed twice, rubbed his hands on his knees embarrassedly, "I don't know much, what can I do!" ”
"No, just learn slowly."
If she's really dead, let them do whatever they want.
When Du Ercheng came to the city, he inevitably went to visit his master Han Liang. Du Ruo asked Li Fangqing to take him with him and tell him about the big and small things in Baohuasheng, listening to him, he was a head and two big, shouting tired all day long, but he didn't eat less than a mouthful.
At the end of the day, before going to bed, Du Ercheng paced twice in the yard, entered the house and said to Du Ruo: "Second sister, my Master Han said that people like me are not suitable for business, he said that I have great strength, and I learned a few tricks from him, so I just went to the yamen to catch fast!" ”
Du Ruo glanced at him, "Then you go!" ”
He sighed: "It's not like you just go, there has to be a way in the yamen, give gifts, find someone!" ”
"I don't know anyone in my yamen." Du Ruo shook his head.
Du Ercheng wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time before he said: "Song family, didn't my second brother-in-law work in the yamen?" If he misses the old love......"
"Since you want to be a fast catcher, you can figure it out yourself." Du Ruo said.
After Du Ercheng went out, Du Ruo's eyes dimmed, and then he thought of Han Liang again.
On the street that day, he also appeared in front of Song Ju'an to protect him, and his martial arts were so high, she had doubted him before, now that she thinks about it, he does have a big problem, why did he follow him into the city after Song Ju'an entered the city?
The Meng family was cunning and rabbit three caves, but they didn't expect to escape from the fire, and after Wu Dajiang was transferred, Meng Yuanzhou reappeared in Fengling County. Song Ju'an was involved in that big case at the beginning, if he hadn't noticed it from the subtleties, everything that the Meng family did behind his back might not have happened and implicated so much that Wei Guogong was imprisoned.
Unexpectedly, on that day in Shilixiang, they actually sat together and drank and talked, and there was even the new Lu County Order!
These things are complicated, so that Du Ruoxiang broke his head, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. It's like she's standing in the light, and she lifts her foot to the left and walks into the bottomless darkness.
Not only the Meng family, but even Song Ju'an seems to have a huge problem.
But Qin Rui was arrested by Meng Yuanzhou.
Although she didn't want to have anything to do with these people, and even tried to avoid it, she still decided to ask Qin Rui if she was still alive and if she wanted her to help collect the body.
The carriage stopped outside the Jiang family's mansion, and Du Ruo got down from it, asked someone to carry valuable gifts, and stepped forward to explain his intention to the two guards standing at the gate.
After waiting for a while, she saw Minser hurrying out of it with two maidservants, and when she saw her, she smiled and said, "You're finally here!" ”
It was as if they were waiting for her to come.
"Long time no see." Du Ruo smiled and nodded at her.
Seeing these people alive in front of me again, it was really like a world away, which made people's hearts feel sour.
"Hurry up and get in! Come and get so much! Minse added.
Du Ruoxin said, many people are not to blame, it's not that I'm afraid of putting myself in......
Ming Se led her all the way inside, and finally came to a courtyard, as soon as Du Ruo entered the door, he saw Qin Rui sitting on the stone table in the courtyard with tea and tea.
The man looks like a dog, and he is very talkative.
"Yo! You've finally come to see someone! Qin Rui looked over and said to her with a smile.
"Since you are still alive and well, I am also relieved, the shop is too busy, I will not stay longer." Du Ruo said to the two of them and stopped.
Ming Se was surprised for a moment, Qin Rui put down the cup and glanced at her, "What nonsense are you talking about, how many people are there in your shop all day long?" Come and sit! ”
Although Du Ruo wants to ask a lot of things to know, he doesn't want to inquire too much, the way to save his life is to know less if he can know less.
"I hired a few more people to work, and I'm very busy, so I'll go back first!" She said again, and was about to turn around and retreat, Qin Rui got up and walked over quickly, grabbed her and said, "No one here will do anything to you, and besides, Song Ju'an is also here, you will be fine!" ”
Du Ruo was a little stunned.
"Minse, I'm going out for a walk!" Qin Rui said to Ming Se again.
"This ...... The master only let you stay in this courtyard and not go anywhere else. Minse hesitated.
"I'm entertaining guests, you tell Meng Yuanzhou that you don't need to ask people to look at me! There's food and drink here, and I won't leave if I chase me! Qin Rui grabbed Du Ruo's hand and ran outside.
When she got outside, Du Ruo asked her, "Why are you still alive?" ”
Qin Rui looked at her and seemed to be smiling.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'll tell you later!" She smiled shyly and asked her, "Why did you come to me now?" ”
"It's good that I can come to you! I've got everything arranged! ”
What do you say...... The Jiang family is not the land of tigers and wolves......"
The two of them turned around the corridor, and suddenly took a look at the two people who came on the other side, it was Song Ju'an and Meng Yuanzhou who were chatting while walking.
After a distance, Du Ruo and Song Ju'an looked at each other, his eyes were calm like a pool of clear water, his face was peaceful, and his posture was still handsome.
Qin Rui looked at Meng Yuanzhou with a little panic in her eyes, and hurriedly pulled Du Ruo to run to the other side.
