Chapter 38: Peeking

Zhao Wanning didn't want to entangle with Pei Yue, so she closed her eyes as soon as she got into the carriage.

Pei Yue was not annoyed.

Silver Candle and Tian Xiaocao sat near the car door, and the two of them looked at each other, their noses and noses, and their heads bowed.

This gave Pei Yue a chance, and he could look at Zhao Wanning without scruples.

She seemed to be a little fatter, her complexion was more rosy than before, and her cheeks were a little more fleshy.

It can be seen that Zhao Wanning has a good life in this life, at least better than the previous life. She was not rumored, it was the eldest princess who took the initiative to come to the door to withdraw from the Qi family, and she was not coerced by rumors to marry herself, she even opened her own shop, and her business was booming.

And himself, Pei Yue thought, he is also very good, no longer a student who has not yet participated in the examination and does not know the way forward, but Lianzhong Sanyuan, the youngest champion of the Great Zhou, and the official of the Liupin Imperial Court, Dali Temple.

Pei Yue now has a bright future, and he is finally qualified to stand by Zhao Wanning's side.

Thinking of the imminent marriage with Zhao Wanning, Pei Yue showed a smile.

Tian Xiaocao secretly turned around, and saw Pei Yue, an official of Dali Temple dressed in brocade, smiling infatually at his beautiful sister who closed his eyes and recuperated.

Tian Xiaocao was shocked. She thought that the ministers of the court were all righteous and awe-inspiring people, but she didn't expect that this lord of Dali Temple would have such a side.

Tian Xiaocao didn't know how to describe it, Pei Yue's smile was a little silly but not annoying, as if the person in front of him was his treasure.

This reminded Tian Xiaocao of a big yellow dog he used to raise.

Tian Xiaocao shook his head. I doubt that I am thinking too much.

The carriage arrived smoothly at the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Pei Yue jumped out of the carriage in two steps.

When Silver Candle got out of the car, she was a little surprised to see Pei Yue standing by the carriage, she stepped on the stool and got out of the car, and then stood beside Pei Yue.

It's just that Pei Yue was in the position of getting out of the car, and he didn't know what to do.

Tian Xiaocao was also stunned when she got out of the carriage, and Pei Yue stretched out his hand and directly hugged her off the carriage.

This is the second person who does not dislike her dirty clothes and is willing to hug her, the first is Zhao Wanning.

When Zhao Wanning got out of the carriage, Yin Zhu wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by Pei Yue's outstretched arm.

Zhao Wanning looked at the arm stretched out in front of him and was stunned, Pei Yue said loudly: "Lord Wanning, please get off the carriage." ”

In front of everyone, Zhao Wanning didn't say anything, so he took his arm and got out of the car in a daze.

The silver candle came back to his senses, and he felt that Master Pei wanted to be courteous to the county lord.

Master Pei, we have arrived. Zhao Aimin was the first to speak.

Pei Yue was stunned, and then arrived. Although the county lord is still safe. Reply. Then I'll go first.

Zhao Wanning blessed her body: "We have arrived, Master Pei will walk slowly." ”

Pei Yue was a little reluctant, and walked out step by step.

Zhao Wanning didn't care about him, and directly took Tian Xiaocao and Silver Candle and turned around and entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

As soon as the subordinates of the eldest princess's mansion saw Zhao Wanning come back with a ragged and dirty little flower, they frowned, and they didn't know what the county lord was going to do. But they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, nor did they dare to say anything behind their backs. After all, this county lord was different from before, and they all knew how she treated the eldest princess and the housekeeper. In case of being nosy, one accidentally touches the moldy head of this county lord, but no one can restrain this county lord.

Invite Moon Garden.

Mrs. Wang had already sent the ledger over, and when the picture screen was idle, she began to study it seriously.

Seeing Zhao Wanning taking a little beggar home, the painting screen put down the account book in his hand and greeted him.

"County Lord, who is this?" The painting screen stepped forward to support Zhao Wanning.

After tossing for most of the day, Zhao Wanning was indeed tired, she half leaned on the painting screen, and her tone was lazy: "Ah, this is the little beggar I picked up on the road." ”

Zhao Wanning looked around with the corner of her eye, after all, there were other people present in this Yueyuan, she didn't want to say it too clearly, revealing Tian Xiaocao's identity, so she said casually: "Picture screen, you and Yinzhu take her back to wash." From now on, she will live with you and Silver Candle. ”

The painting screen understood the deep meaning of Zhao Wanning's words, so naturally he didn't say anything more, so he took the little girl back to the room with the silver candle.

Tian Xiaocao hadn't recovered from the courtyard as big as the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

She expected that this beautiful sister would be able to make people from the government salute her, and her status must be extraordinary. But she didn't expect her family to be so big, and there were so many servants to serve her and bow to her. Tian Xiaocao felt very lucky to meet such a kind and powerful beautiful sister and save her from fire and water.

Since this beautiful sister is so powerful and powerful, can her good sister Ah Tao also be saved? I just don't know if my pretty sister is willing to lend a hand again.

After making up his mind, Tian Xiaocao was cleaned quickly. She wanted to take care of herself quickly, and then go to see her beautiful sister and ask her for help.

"Alas, alas, little grass, your hair hasn't been washed yet." Silver Candle wanted to get up from the bathtub when she saw Tian Xiaocao pulling a few times, and quickly stopped her: "How long have you not taken a bath?" The hair was all knotted. ”

was pressed by the silver candle and the painting screen, and Tian Xiaocao couldn't leave. I had to sit back in the tub and continue to be cleaned by my two sisters.

“…… It's been a long time. Tian Xiaocao's voice was low: "Last time, my mother took me to the river to wash, and later, after my mother died, no one took me to take a bath anymore." ”

Silver Candle didn't expect that his casual remarks would cause Tian Xiaocao's sadness, and he was stunned for a moment. She was in a hurry and didn't know what to say. But I felt that Tian Xiaocao should be comforted at this time.

"Don't worry, my sisters will help you take a bath in the future." Silver Candle thought about it for a long time, and only held back this sentence.

Tian Xiaocao nodded: "Thank you, Sister Silver Candle, thank you, Sister Painting." ”

"It's not us who you should be thankful for, but the county lord." Silver Candle said while helping Tian Xiaocao clean.

Picture screen didn't ask much. Looking at this situation, I'm afraid that this field of grass also has another identity. It's just that there are many people in Yueyuan, and the county lord doesn't have much to say.

"Xiaocao, your hair can't be untied." The picture screen gently helped Tian Xiaocao comb her hair. It's just that the hair is too dirty, and it hasn't been washed for too long, and it's stuck together and messed up. Even though the screen was carefully combed, there were still some dead knots in the hair. "If you don't mind, I'll cut it off with scissors."

"I know that the body is skinned, and it is the parents. But I really can't comb this hair, it's already a dead knot. Picturescreen added.

"Cut it, thank you, Sister Painting." Tian Xiaocao said obediently.

Tian Xiaocao had agreed, and the painting screen was not delayed, she took the scissors and cut off all the hair on Tian Xiaocao's head that could not be untied.

An hour later.

The silver candle and the picture screen went out with the freshened Tian Xiaocao.

Ying Yueyuan didn't prepare the children's clothes in advance, and the silver candle trimmed her previous clothes and put them on Tian Xiaocao's body, the cuffs and skirt were much longer. The painting screen took a few stitches with a needle and thread at random, at least so that Tian Xiaocao could have clean clothes to wear, and the dirty beggar clothes she changed into were also thrown out.

Zhao Wanning was sitting in front of the window reading a book.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Tian Xiaocao staggering over in clothes that didn't fit his body at all.

Zhao Wanning raised her eyes and glanced at the painting screen: "Why did you let her dress like this?" ”

The painting screen helped Tian Xiaocao straighten the slightly wide collar, and then said, "County Lord, we don't have any clothes suitable for children in this Yueyuan. I can only take the clothes before the silver candle and change them into her. We've thrown away that beggar suit. ”

Zhao Wanning patted her head with the book: "Blame me, blame me, go find a tailor to measure Xiaocao first, cut a few clothes, she will invite Yueyuan to live for a long time." ”

Silver Candle nodded, then turned to head out.

Zhao Wanning suddenly stopped the silver candle: "Wait, do I still have all my previous clothes?" ”

"Yes, Lord Shire." The picture screen replied: "County Lord, I have put all your clothes from your childhood into a wooden box. ”

Zhao Wanning pondered for a moment, and then said to the picture screen: "Go and choose a set of my clothes for her to change." ”

"Yes, County Lord." The painting screen also turned around to look for clothes for Tian Xiaocao.

It's just that she was surprised in her heart, the county lord cherished his clothes very much, especially the ones she wore when she was a child, and even if those clothes were no longer worn, she still put them away.

Only Zhao Wanning and Tian Xiaocao were left in the room.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Zhao Wanning asked.

As soon as Tian Xiaocao entered the door, she looked at her with a blank eye, and Zhao Wanning thought that she was not used to it because she had just come to Fuzhong. But I don't want Tian Xiaocao to look at the silver candle for a while, look at the picture screen for a while, and look at himself again for a while, looking like he wants to speak and stops.

Tian Xiaocao immediately knelt in front of Zhao Wanning: "Xiaocao thanked my beautiful sister, took me in, and beat the drum for me to make clothes for me." ”

"It's nothing," Zhao Wanning shook his head: "It's just a gesture." ”

Natian Xiaocao continued to speak tentatively: "Sister, I heard them call you the county lord, and the adults of Dali Temple will also salute you." ”

Zhao Wanning was keenly aware of a hint of change, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am the Qinghe County Lord personally appointed by the emperor." These princes and ministers must indeed salute when they see me. ”

Na Tian Xiaocao immediately took two steps forward: "Lord County Lord, I don't know what kind of official the county lord is, but you must be very powerful." Please, save my good sister Tao! ”

"Good sisters?" Zhao Wanning was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that your parents and family members have died on the road?" How can there be sisters? ”

"My family is indeed dead, and this sister met in the yard." Tian Xiaocao habitually wiped her tears with her sleeve, Xu was not soft enough, her cheeks were rubbed red, and Zhao Wanning handed her handkerchief.

The courtyard that Tian Xiaocao said was the base of the traffickers.

"She is about the same age as me, and the two of us have taken care of each other and relied on each other to get to where we are today. Now I am lucky to meet the county lord, but my sister Ah Tao is still controlled by human traffickers, and I don't know how much suffering I have to suffer. Tian Xiaocao's tears rained down: "Please save my sisters, Lord County!" ”

Zhao Wanning was a little hesitant. Before leaving Dali Temple, Master Li once told her that this matter was related to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and it was best not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake. also asked Zhao Wanning to watch Tian Xiaocao, and not let Tian Xiaocao have any contact with the previous children, so as not to reveal the rumors.

"Lord County, save my sister." Tian Xiaocao continued to cry and said, "Our people are distributed in various areas of the capital. I was sent to the area of Suzaku Street, but Ah Tao was assigned to the alley of West Street. ”

Hearing the alleys of West Street, Zhao Wanning's heart sank suddenly.

The alleys of West Street are famous chaotic places in the capital. There are gambling houses and liquor shops, and there is only one intersection between it and Fireworks Alley, and the people are mixed, and all three religions and nine streams are involved.

In his previous life, because of Pei Yue's position in Dali Temple, Zhao Wanning heard a lot of rumors about the alleys of West Street. Many people like to go there to gamble money, and continue to gamble after losing all the money, and if they have no money, they will borrow money from the owner of the gambling house, and if they can't go up, they will use their body parts to pay off their debts.

Many gamblers have their fingers chopped off, and their arms or calves have been removed because they can't pay the money. In the end, the family made trouble all the way to Dali Temple, but because the gambling house signed a contract with the gambler before borrowing money, he drew a mortgage, and it was written clearly in black and white, and finally had to admit it.

If the little girl named Ah Tao is in the alley of West Street, whether it is a gambler or an alcoholic, it is not good.

Zhao Wanning thought for a while, and then helped Tian Xiaocao up: "You Sister Tao, I will go to save you." However, also wait for me to plan it. When I'm ready, we'll go and save her tomorrow. ”

Tian Xiaocao nodded hurriedly, and she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Wanning again.

Zhao Wanning hurriedly stopped her and said seriously: "You are now in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, remember not to mention the report." Externally, let's just say that you are the little beggar I picked up from the street. I saved you, and you come back with me to be a little girl for me. ”

"Don't call Tian Xiaocao either. How about being called a Mingming? ”

"The Grass and the Parrot Continent."

Tian Xiaocao nodded. Although she didn't know why the county lord helped her change her name, she knew that the woman in front of her would not hurt her.
