Chapter 16: Unexpected
Lin Jiuniang didn't speak, secretly wondering in her heart how this young boy could see that he was ranked ninth.
Seeing that Lin Jiuniang was silent, Mama Han stepped forward and saluted, and said without humility or arrogance: "This son, five hundred taels of silver is not a decimal number. Although my young lady is from a wealthy background, her monthly silver is only a few taels of silver, and it is less than a hundred taels of silver a year, so how can she carry such a large amount of silver as five hundred taels with her? Childe is chivalrous and courageous, and we are kind to our young lady, and our young lady has expressed that it should be, but it really doesn't have so much five hundred taels. ”
Youchen tilted his head, looked Lin Jiuniang up and down, and said with a smile: "If you don't have any silver, then you can also take something to offset it." I see that the gold-inlaid jade on Miss Jiu's head is shaking, plus the jade bracelet on her hand, it is probably worth five hundred taels. ”
Luo Dong said angrily: "My young lady has not yet left the cabinet, how can she hand over her personal things to a foreign man?" This son, you've gone too far! ”
Youchen was unmoved, his eyes widened, revealing an innocent look and said, "Am I excessive? I tried my best to save more than a dozen of you, but I wanted me to get out of here empty-handed, who was the excesses? ”
Falling winter was speechless for a while.
Lin Jiuniang did bring some money with her on this trip.
In addition to twenty taels of broken silver, there were also three silver tickets of twenty taels.
But it doesn't add up to less than a hundred taels, even if you take it all out, it is estimated that you won't be able to get rid of this "young son" in front of you.
What's more, Lin Jiuniang slowly pondered the taste, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the heroic rescue she had just experienced was with a sense of "thief shouting to catch a thief".
Those masked men, although they are extraordinary, are not extremely vicious. Although the family members had blue noses and swollen faces, they were only slightly injured. And although Suo Chun and the others were unkempt, their clothes were neat and they were not injured, and it can be seen that these masked men were not ruthless.
Moreover, this young son, no matter how you look at it, how do you feel that his behavior is suspicious.
Mei Niang's tomb is in the western suburbs of Fuzhou, but the official road leading to the capital is in the eastern suburbs, which is not a direction at all.
Could it be that he colluded with the masked man to set a trap for himself?
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly, there was another sound of horses' hooves from a distance.
Mama Han was startled, hurriedly pulled Lin Jiuniang's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Miss Jiu, it can't be that the thieves are chasing after you again, right?" According to the old slave, don't worry about this person for now, let's go first! ”
Lin Jiuniang listened attentively, and heard that it was just the sound of a horse's hooves, so she calmed down and said, "It's okay!" The gang of thieves just now suffered a big loss, and they will definitely not be bored with themselves. If you find a helper, it won't be so fast. ”
After a while, the horse had already galloped to the ground, only to see a white-faced man with a beautiful face immediately turn over, and when he saw Youchen, he shouted loudly: "Fifth young master, the king ordered me to invite you back!" ”
When Youchen saw the white-faced man, his face turned pale, and he looked a little weak, but he still said stiffly: "I haven't finished dealing with the matter here, and when I'm done, I'll go back." ”
Who knew that the white-faced man was not as good-tempered as the black-faced man, he couldn't help but say, stepped forward is a palm, and the young man who was still alive and vigorous fainted when he landed and fell crooked on the shoulder of the white-faced man.
The white-faced man easily carried Youchen on his shoulders and glanced at the black-faced man, and the black-faced man hurriedly bowed his hand to Lin Jiuniang and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiu, I'm sorry!" ”
After that, the two of them got on their horses and galloped away without looking back, leaving Lin Jiuniang and the others stunned to stay in place.
This......
After a while, Lin Jiuniang came to her senses, looked at the family with blue nose and swollen eyes, and a few maids in dirty clothes, and said in a complicated mood: "Get in the car, go back." ”
Suo Chun said with a sad face: "Miss Jiu, we look like this, after we go back...... But what can I say? ”
Mama Han gently persuaded: "Miss Suochun, there is such a big thing today, and you can't hide it." After I go back, I will accompany Miss Nine to report to the eldest and youngest grandmother according to the truth, and the incident is accidental, and the eldest and youngest grandmother will not blame. When we go back, we will go to the wrong door, and not too many people will see us. ”
Suo Chun raised his eyes and saw that Mama Han and Luo Dong were neatly dressed, their hair was not messy, and they suddenly felt angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it in front of Lin Jiuniang, so they could only try to control their emotions, and said with tears in their eyes: "Although we have turned evil into good fortune this time, things are too strange, I am afraid that some people with bad intentions will arrange us behind our backs." ”
Lin Jiuniang was also a little upset by Suo Chun's words, she lowered her eyes and thought about it, then raised her head and comforted her: "We are innocent and bright, so why are we afraid of other people's arrangements?" Besides, we have more than a dozen people, and if anyone is suspicious, they can ask one by one. It is not difficult for one person to lie, but the difficult thing is that more than a dozen people tell the same lie, and at that time, as long as the person who knows it in his heart, will understand the truth. ”
Seeing Suo Chun's sad and sad look, Luo Dong felt a little resentful in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Sister Suo Chun, it's a great thing for us to turn evil into good fortune, you don't need to think about it." If you're afraid that people will say you're disheveled, I'll change my clothes for you. ”
Suo Chun's cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't speak again.
Lin Jiuniang saw that Suo Chun had something on her mind, so she said lightly: "Suo Chun, you and I, and Mama Han should take a carriage!" ”
The carriage started slowly, and Suo Chun lowered his head and was speechless.
Lin Jiuniang said in a low voice: "Suo Chun, there are no outsiders here, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me." If I can do it, I'll do my best to do it for you. ”
Suo Chun wanted to speak and stopped, and Mama Han said coldly: "Miss Suo Chun, you have been in Yixin Courtyard for so many years, and you should also know Miss Jiu's temperament. Now that Miss Nine has given you face, you must not brush off Miss Nine's kindness. ”
Suo Chun was stunned.
Indeed, she has been in the Pleasant Heart Courtyard for a long time, and she knows a little bit about Miss Nine's temperament.
Miss Nine has been naughty and naughty since she was a child, because of the favor of the eldest young master, her temperament is a little perverse, and she doesn't know how to read words and feelings, and she often offends people unintentionally.
But in general, the heart is not bad, and he never treats his subordinates harshly, although he sometimes puts the score of the young lady, but most of them are just out of the heart of a child, and there is no malice.
It's just that in the past few days, Miss Nine seems to have changed as a person...... changed from the naughty willfulness of the past, spoke and acted in an orderly manner, and his eyes also changed, not like a nine-year-old girl, but like an adult woman in her twenties......
If it was the previous Miss Nine, Suo Chun would not dare to speak.
Although Miss Nine had already told them that if there was a good relationship, she would bring it up generously, and she would make the decision for them.
But after all, the Lin family has a rule, as a slave and maid, it is not allowed to give and receive privately, and the marriage is arranged by the master.
Miss Nine is only nine years old, except for going out twice a year to worship her biological mother, basically she doesn't go out of the door, and she doesn't step out of the second door, who can believe that she can arrange a marriage for herself?
Moreover, Qin Jiming is not the little servant of the Lin family, even the eldest young master Lin Zhilan has no right to be his master. Miss Nine is a child's temper again, if she mentions this matter to the eldest young master regardless of it, and makes a fuss about letting the eldest young master make decisions for herself, wouldn't it make the eldest young master embarrassed? At that time, I am afraid that I will not be a person inside and out, even if the eldest young master really helps me achieve my wish, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.
But now Miss Nine is safe and old-fashioned, although she doesn't understand why Miss Nine has changed so much in a short period of time, but Suo Chun's heart is loose.
After all, she had no one to rely on except Miss Nine.
"Miss Nine, I, I don't want to follow you to the Hou Mansion." Suo Chun opened his mouth with difficulty, "I, I have a good ...... since childhood"
Lin Jiuniang waited for her to continue.
