The young man in Tsing Yi has a long body and knows some punches and feet, if he fights alone, none of the three people on the other side is his opponent. But he seriously lacked actual combat experience, and the siege of the three people on the opposite side could not be parried. Seeing that he was smashed out by three people with wooden sticks, benches, and fists, he was still scolding in his mouth.

"A poor ghost, what kind of prince and nobleman are you pretending!"

"I'll tell you to pretend again! Tell you to pretend! Feign! ”

"Are you still pretending? Still not installed? Kill you! ”

At this time, a slender and coquettish-looking female clerk ran out of the store, pointing at the little guy on the ground and scolding, saying that the little guy was teasing her, Yunyun.

Although the little guy in Tsing Yi was knocked to the ground, he was a man who refused to admit defeat, kicked with his back against the loess, made a monster-like cry from his mouth and nose, and occasionally kicked on the legs of the thugs, kicking the thugs to stagger.

The more he resisted, the more vigorously the three thugs fought. With a unforgiving posture, he continued to beat. The three of them were ruthless enough, and they beat the little guy with a bang, especially a bench smashed on the back of the little guy's head, beating the little guy into a trance.

"Stop!"

Su Bottle couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, kicked away the thug holding the bench, and shouted: "Even if this person is really disrespectful, just give him two mouths a lesson, how can he still fight to the death?" ”

At this time, Zhu Tao ran over, pinched his waist and said, "We are in the house of the sixth lady of the Guogong Mansion." ”

The people of the Liang Dynasty were strictly hierarchical, and as soon as they heard the three words of Guogongfu, the three thugs immediately weakened. looked up and down at this brocade-clad young man.

They didn't know Su Bei, but they had seen Zhu Tao, the maid of the Guogong Mansion. Seeing that this young master was going to take care of things, the three thugs hurriedly trotted over to explain.

Explained for a long time, it was nothing more than because this little guy had no money in his pocket, but he wanted to buy the most expensive jewelry here. The saleswoman thought that the little guy was here to make trouble, so she called a thug to call him out.

Don't underestimate these shop assistants, under the special system of Thanh Hoa Fang, they are all regular workers with an establishment. In front of the neighbors, there are also five people and six people, and they feel superior. This kind of work can only be obtained by digging the door and stealing the hole. It is said that the brother-in-law of the third uncle of the female clerk is the cousin of the concubine of the fourth son, Tang Kuan, and it is the job arranged by Tang Kuan.

Suddenly, someone recognized that this brocade boy was the son-in-law surnamed Su who shined in the ring that day. Hearing the gossip on the street, the three thugs respected Su Bottle even more, nodded their heads, and greeted each other with a smile.

Su Bottle, this person, is afraid that others will be soft on him. As long as the other party is soft, things are generally easy to discuss.

Seeing that the beaten guy was fine, Su Bottle didn't embarrass the three thugs, but just helped the guy up. The little guy is ashamed and doesn't look up to see people. just perfunctorily intervened in Su Bottle, then raised his sleeves to cover his face, and quickly left the trouble.

Su Bei looked at the little guy carefully, his face was white and his appearance was good, but he was beaten a little embarrassed.

The little guy left, Su Bottle didn't think much about it, and continued to take Zhu Tao shopping. People are afraid of becoming famous, if Su Bottle takes Xiao Tao to buy cheap cloth shoes for 20 Wen, he will definitely be laughed at. So Zhu Tao said, don't buy it.

Su Bottle said, I'll give you the money, and you can buy it yourself. Zhu Tao smiled shyly, took the money, and bought it back at a trot all the way. It is a pair of shoes with a simple embroidered little tiger's head on a coarse cloth surface, and the eyes of the little tiger are as big as beads, which is quite childlike. She said that the shoes on her feet can still be worn if they are repaired, and when they are completely broken, she will wear new shoes.

Then the two walked back, and when they were about to arrive at the Guogong Mansion, they saw the young man in Tsing Yi squatting on the side of the road, rubbing his head angrily. He also held a jewel in his hand, looking left and right.

At this time, Su Bottle walked over and said with a smile: "This orb is good." ”

The little guy in Tsing Yi looked up, and when he saw that it was the person who saved him just now, he stood up with a ashamed smile, checked the jewel in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, those people have no eyes and don't know treasures, so I don't mean I'm a liar." ”

While speaking, the little guy threw the jewel in his hand to Su Bottle: "This benevolent brother helped today, and there is nothing to repay, so this bead will be rewarded ......" felt that the word "reward" was inappropriate, and immediately changed his words: "Give it to you." ”

With that, he turned and walked briskly.

He threw the beads over, and Su Bottle caught it with one hand, pinched it in his hand and played with it. Raising his eyes to see the little guy again, he had already walked far away, walking towards the alley north of the Guogong Mansion.

Listening to the tone of this little guy's speech, and looking at his appearance and demeanor, he doesn't look like a slave.

"Little Peach, have you seen him?"

"I haven't seen it." Zhu Tao rubbed his nose: "It should be from Dongyuan." ”

Su Bei smiled bitterly and weighed the jewel in his hand: "If you buy this thing at a jewelry store, it will cost at least one hundred taels of silver." But I took it out and sold it at the jewelry store, and the jewelry store could give me a maximum of thirty taels. ”

Zhu Tao tilted his head: "Does my uncle want to sell it?" It's better to give it to Miss. ”

Su Bottle shook his head: "Let's sell it for money." ”

Sixth Miss Tang Mei held the account book, sat motionless on the couch for some time, and suddenly slammed the account book in her hand on the case.

In fact, she didn't fail to meet the conditions put forward by her son-in-law, but she just felt that she was too losing.

Speaking of which, there are many people who want to work in Okura, and they may not be able to enter by digging the door and stealing the hole. Obviously I gave him benefits, but he didn't appreciate it, and he kicked his nose and put forward so many conditions, really treating himself as a baby? Without you, I Tang Mei wouldn't be able to be the superintendent?

The maid lit the oil lamp, and the side face of Miss Six's high nose and deep eyes was revealed under the lamp. The maid Tang Wan whispered that her uncle had just come back. Hearing this, the corners of Tang Mei's mouth twitched a little, and she didn't know what decision she had made.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next day it was bright, and the little maid Tang Ting blocked the door of the son-in-law's house. Among the four maids, Tang Ting was the youngest, only eleven years old, although she was handsome, her physique was thin and weak, and she was completely undeveloped, straight like a wooden stake. The placket was messy in the wind, making a popping sound. To avoid the wind, she hid at the base of the wall.

"It's really windy today." Zhu Tao woke up and pushed the door, and soon the door was blown back by the wind, and then she pushed the door open with difficulty, and squinted and saw Tang Ting standing next to the root of the wall, so she sneered: "Yo, why are you standing there without saying a word, and you are punished?" ”

Tang Ting grimaced at Zhu Tao, but didn't say anything.

Su Bei had a keen sense of hearing, and when he heard the maid's voice, he rubbed his eyes and sat up, pushed open the window, and saw Tang Ting. Seeing that her uncle was awake, Tang Ting beckoned Su Bottle to go to Miss's house for breakfast, and said that Miss had something important to discuss with her uncle.

Breakfast is not rich, that is, daily food, Tang Mei eats quickly, but Su Bottle's meal is slow and methodical, which makes her wait a little longer.

After breakfast, Tang Mei said with a straight face: "I think about it, I can go to my father and ask for your father's promotion, but I don't guarantee that my father will agree." ”

Su Bottle said: "I'm not in a hurry, it's not too late to talk after the prince comes back." ”

Tang Mei frowned and said, "But I'm in a hurry, I have to reply to the fourth brother in the last two days." As she spoke, Tang Mei took out some more ledgers and pushed them forward: "You help me look at these ledgers." ”

Without waiting for Su Bottle to speak, Tang Mei hurriedly added: "Only if I sit firmly in the position of Okura supervisor and perform well, my father will value me more." And if you behave well, I can tell my father about your family. If not, why would your father help your father to elevate his title? ”

Su Bottle raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Su Bottle was silent, Tang Mei's brows furrowed even tighter: "What else do you want?" ”

Su Bottle said: "Miss Six's words are vague, you only mentioned my family's affairs, but you didn't say anything about me." I said that I want to be a member of the government and an official. This matter is implemented first, and then I will help you read the account book. ”

Tang Mei said: "My Tang family can be filial piety, but at least it should be a show." Are you a showman? ”

Su Bottle shook her head.

Tang Mei sneered sarcastically: "Not even really, I still want to be an official." Don't spoil that position. Or help me honestly, I will not be thin on you. ”

Su Bottle said: "When I say joining, I don't want to be a big official. Even if it's just a small official from the ninth grade, I can accept it. I don't think there is a need to trouble Guogong for such a trivial matter. As far as I know, your fourth brother Tang Kuan knows a lot of capable people. ”

Tang Mei gritted her teeth: "Would you rather be a little official?" Well, I can satisfy you, but what about my business? ”

"I'll try to help you."

"Teach me your calculations first."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you when my entry is implemented."

It is very difficult to empty the gloves of the white wolf here in Su Bottle. Tang Mei asked him to quickly change the new account book, and Su Bottle said that he was not in a hurry, he was going to Beishi or Pingkangfang. Tang Mei asked him why he was going? Su Bottle said that he had no money and wanted to sell a jewel.

Tang Mei raised her eyebrows: "Do you have a treasure orb?" Show me. ”

Su Bottle took out the orb and handed it to the maid, who put it on Tang Mei's case. The noble lady saw at a glance that this jewel was extraordinary, she thought about it, and suddenly put the jewel in the drawer, locked it, and said: "A son-in-law should look like a son-in-law, and you should not hide valuables privately." Your things are also mine, and I have taken this orb. ”

"Hey, don't overdo it."

"What's going on? That's the reason for getting rich. You go outside to inquire about people who understand, which family is not like this? Since you have chosen to join the family, you must know who the head of the family is. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a package from behind her, handed it to the maid, and asked the maid to put it in front of Su Bottle, she pointed to the package and said, "There is a piece of clothing I sewed with my own hands, and ten taels of silver." Didn't you say you were short of money, and it was just given to you. ”

Su Bottle was cold-eyed.

Tang Mei clasped her hands, swept her eyes to the side, didn't look at Su Bottle, shook her head slightly, and said: "Although my Tang family has a big business, but now in the war years, my family is also frugal." I hope you, like me, know thrift. ”
