Chapter 59: Eighth Brother
"What a bold man! Dare to provoke Lao Tzu's authority! ”
"I'll let you taste Lao Tzu's power today!"
“.”
Mama Wang stood behind Wanyue, worried.
Seeing that those people were about to make a move, they immediately ran to Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang, which was more than ten meters away, and went to ask the guys from Qianzhuang to help.
After those strong men finished speaking, they made a gesture to pounce on Wanyue.
Wan Yue dodged their attack and shouted at the little girl, "Little girl, you run to the Xingwang Pavilion Money Village, the people there will protect you." ”
The little girl didn't know who she was, so she just nodded in agreement, and then turned around and ran towards the Xingwang Pavilion Money Village.
The strong men watched the little girl run away, but laughed even more lewdly: "Haha, little beauty, since she ran away, then you can go back to the kiln with us!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and grab Wanyue.
Wanyue was grabbed by one of the strong men's right arm, and Wanyue was in pain for a while, "Bastard, you let me go!" ”
The men laughed and ignored them.
"Stop! Who are you! Why be presumptuous here! At this moment, a sudden voice interrupted the behavior of the men.
Everyone raised their eyes, only to see that the leader was wearing a bright yellow robe, with a mutton fat jade pendant and yellow belt tied around his waist, and a pair of purple and gold soap boots on his feet.
He is handsome and extraordinary, with a faint smile on his face, and a shallow pear vortex hanging from the corner of his mouth, he knows at a glance that this is a gentle and graceful beautiful man.
Seeing his dress and appearance, as well as the guards with sabers behind him, the strong men couldn't help but shudder, and they all took a few steps back, and the bully who had been pulling Wanyue's arm let go of his hand in horror at this moment and also retreated.
The leader walked towards Wanyue step by step, without even looking at the rest of the strong men.
"You're the fifth sister-in-law, right? I often hear the ninth brother mention you. He approached Wanyue and asked.
"It's the concubine." Wan Yue nodded at him, and then asked suspiciously, "Why did the eighth brother come here?" ”
After asking, Wanyue remembered that the eighth brother had married Chang Fujin last month, and the old man had already assigned him a mansion, but on the day of the eighth brother's wedding, Wanyue was unable to go to the banquet because of her own identity as Fujin.
"Oh, yes. I just heard in your shop that you have met a few ruffians here, so I hurried over to take a look. With a shallow smile on his face, Eighth Elder Brother said to Wanyue.
After speaking, he pointed to one of the strong men with a meaty face and said to Wanyue: "He is the ruffian who bullied your fifth sister-in-law just now, right?" ”
Wan Yue nodded at the eighth elder brother.
The man looked at the other four strong men next to him uneasily, exchanged glances at them, and one of them immediately said, "It turned out to be a royal nobleman!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! A few of our brothers were just passing by here, and they saw that this girl was in charge of our business just now, so they took action. Sorry for accidentally offending! ”
Eighth Elder Brother snorted coldly: "In that case, then don't get out of here!" ”
The ruffians were so frightened that they immediately ran away.
"Thank you, Eighth Brother." Wanyue owed to the eighth elder brother.
"Everywhere, it's all your own family, why be polite." The eighth elder brother's tone of speech was still very indifferent, but Wanyue felt the unusual temperament in him.
This eighth brother seems to be different from other princes, and he has a gentle and elegant atmosphere in his gestures.
The eighth elder brother said again: "Fifth sister-in-law, I still have some things to do, so I will leave first." I'll visit you another day when I'm free. ”
"Okay, congratulations to the eighth brother!"
After the eighth elder brother left, Wanyue returned to Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang.
When Mama Wang saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief, she was fortunate to meet the eighth elder brother just now, otherwise this group of guys in the money village might not be able to deal with those ruffians and hooligans.
"Miss, are you alright?" Mama Wang asked with concern.
Wanyue shook her head, "I'm fine, what about the little girl?" ”
"The little girl is fine, I guess I'm hungry, and I'm being taken to the backyard by the shopkeeper to eat snacks at the moment." Mama Wang replied with a smile.
"That's good." Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief, the guys from Qianzhuang all gathered around Wanyue, asking long and short questions, Wanyue had to explain to them patiently, and then said: "You are all scattered, you haven't been here for so long, what is the new progress in the accounts over there?" ”
"Back to the owner, the account books of the account room have come out, do you want to see the owner?" The bookkeeper stood very respectfully on Wan Yue's side and asked.
Wan Yue nodded slightly: "Then bring the account book." ”
The bookkeeper immediately ordered the young man to fetch the account book.
Wanyue looked at it and found that there was no problem in the ledger.
Seeing this, the bookkeeper asked, "Boss, is there any problem?" ”
Wan Yue shook her head, "No problem, you guys are doing a good job, keep it up." ”
Subsequently, Wanyue explained a few more things, and the bookkeeper and the guys all nodded in agreement.
Wanyue then walked to the backyard of Qianzhuang, the backyard is a place for the guys to rest and store the treasury silver, Wanyue walked into the backyard, there were two young men who were cleaning, and when the two saw Wanyue, they stopped what they were doing and saluted her.
"You've all worked hard." Wan Yue smiled at them.
"Thank you for the compliment, this is what I should do!" The two boys said in unison.
"Okay, don't stick here, what should you do?" Mama Wang instructed them in the back.
After listening to Mama Wang's words, the two guys went their separate ways.
When she came to the shopkeeper Li's house, the little girl immediately threw herself into Wanyue's arms and cried, "Woo woo woo. Thank you, thank you, you are my benefactor! ”
"Little girl, don't be like this, get up, get up, I'll ask someone to buy you clean clothes." Wanyue hurriedly helped her up.
Wanyue saw that the little girl was dirty, and hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper Li on the side, "Shopkeeper Li, you go and buy two clean clothes for this little girl." ”
After Wanyue finished speaking, she glanced at Mama Wang again, and Mama Wang understood, took out a few taels of silver and put them in the palm of Li's shopkeeper's hand.
Shopkeeper Li then retreated.
After there were only three people left in the room, Wanyue looked at the little girl in front of her with a worried face, and asked softly, "Little girl, why are those people chasing and beating you?" ”
The little girl lowered her head, "Because. . Because they say. I was picked up from the street by them, and they wanted me to pick up customers in the green building. Woo woo woo and then I sneaked out but they found out and it was all the while. Chase and beat me. ”
After the little girl finished speaking, tears rolled in her eyes.
Seeing her crying, Wanyue was very distressed, frowned, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Little girl, have you been deceived by them?" Where did you come from, your parents at home? ”
The little girl raised her head, the tears in her eyes were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, and she choked up: "I don't remember who my father and mother are, I have a memory, and they caught me as a maid in the Qinglou Building, and the group of people called me Xiaowan." ”
After speaking, the little girl called Xiaowan sobbed again, Wanyue saw that she was crying so sadly, a feeling of discomfort rose in her heart, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the little girl.
Xiaowan wiped her tears, and Wanyue asked again, "Then what are your plans in the future?" ”
Xiao Wan shook his head, "Xiao Wan doesn't know. ”
Wanyue saw Xiao Wan staring at her with a dull face, thought about it, and said, "Xiao Wan, I don't know where you came from, and I don't know where your home is. I don't know you either, but if you want to stay, you can go to Wubeile Mansion in the North Street of Chaoyangmen, where the housekeeper is recruiting maids, you can try it. ”
Xiao Wan was stunned for a long time when he heard Wanyue's words, and looked at Wanyue with hope in his eyes, "Baylor Mansion? Can I really go? ”
Wanyue nodded, "Of course, if you are willing to go, when your body recovers, I will send someone to send you over." ”
"Really? That's great. I'm willing to go! Xiao Wan excitedly shook Wanyue's hand.
Wanyue smiled and patted the back of her hand, and at this time, Shopkeeper Li walked in with two sets of clothes worn by the little girl, and Mama Wang took the clothes and put them on the table.
Wanyue waved her hand at Shopkeeper Li, and Shopkeeper Li retreated again.
"Come, change your clothes and see if they fit." Wan Yue pointed to the clothes on the table and said to the small bowl.
Xiaowan nodded, stood up to change clothes, and Wanyue sat on a chair waiting for her return.
After a while, Xiaowan changed his clothes and walked out, "Miss, this dress is so beautiful." ”
Xiao Wan said while gesturing, Wan Yue smiled: "It's good to like it." ”
Xiaowan looked at Wanyue and suddenly knelt down, "Thank you, Miss, for saving your life, I don't know how to repay you." ”
"You don't have to thank me, I'm just doing it." Wanyue pulled up the small bowl, "If you want to repay it, go to Wubeile Mansion." ”
Xiaowan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Miss." ”
"Okay, I'll let Shopkeeper Li arrange a room for you first, you can live in this money village before your body recovers, and I will send someone to pick you up after your body recovers, I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
Xiaowan nodded and watched Wanyue leave.
"The owner, this little girl" Hearing that the owner asked him to arrange a room for the little girl, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but be full of doubts.
"This little girl is an orphan, I think she is quite pitiful, I will have to take care of her first in the next few days." After Wanyue finished speaking, she turned around and left the money village.
After listening to Wanyue's words, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly nodded yes.
After Wanyue left Qianzhuang, she did not go back to Baylor Mansion first, but went to the Yueminglou Tea Garden.
After the shopkeeper Wang of the Yueminglou Tea Garden saw Wanyue, he hurriedly greeted him, "Boss, you can come, the slave has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in." ”
Wanyue smiled, "How's business today?" ”
"Boss, you haven't seen our business. The business of the tea garden is booming, those guests began to choose the best tea to drink as soon as they came to the tea garden, how can we provide them with the little tea we entered, and the tea will be purchased every three or five times. Whether it is a play sung by the troupe, there is no one that is not full of applause. ”
The shopkeeper Wang's face was full of excitement, the business was doing well, and the owner gave him a lot of rewards, and now his income was already the best among all the tea garden shopkeepers in the capital.
Wanyue smiled after hearing this, "The business of the tea garden is so hot, and you are also indispensable." ”
Shopkeeper Wang listened to Wanyue's words and became more respectful, Wanyue entered the private room on the second floor, and Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly instructed a guy to pour tea for Wanyue.
Wanyue picked up the cup and took a sip, "Well, it tastes good, it's still the same." ”
When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he even complimented Wanyue a few words, and Wanyue only smiled and nodded when she heard it.
"Boss, the minion has something to report to you." Seeing Wanyue's leisurely appearance, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but speak.
Wanyue raised her eyes and stared at the shopkeeper Wang with a curious expression: "You say." ”
"The man you let the servant stare at is here again today, and not long after he comes, another person comes to his private room, and the two of them seem to be discussing something." Shopkeeper Wang told Wanyue what he heard today.
"Well done, keep staring. I'm fine, you go down first. Wanyue pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.
"Yes, host." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and then withdrew from the private room.
After the shopkeeper Wang left, Wanyue couldn't help frowning: Fourth brother, why did he plot this recently?
