8 Chapter 8
Tian Tian let out a long sigh: "You must settle the husband and wife well, you can't let them have the idea of seeking death again, I will find another way here." ”
Xianglan hesitated: "Madam, it must not make sense on the adult's side, what are you going to do?" "Your Excellency has been furious today, and with his nature, there is no room for change in what he has decided.
Tian Tian also knows that it doesn't make sense, but if he doesn't keep trying, what else can he do? I can't watch the daughter of the husband and wife be unjustly killed, and in the end, the husband and wife also committed suicide in despair.
She couldn't.
Tian Tian asked to see Xu Mu for several days, but Xu Mu always avoided it. One day, Tian Tian even went to the county government to see him, but he didn't even let her enter the door, making it clear that she was desperate.
Xu Mu didn't attack the husband and wife, maybe because of Tian Tian, or because he felt that the husband and wife couldn't afford to make waves, so they didn't bother to deal with it.
The husband and wife lived in the Rose Courtyard for a few days, their daughter's body continued to fester, and they couldn't stay any longer, so they carried their daughter's body back to the village.
*
Tian Tian has tried all kinds of tricks in the past few days, but he still can't see Xu Mu, and his heart can't help but be defeated, Xianglan saw it in her eyes, hurt in her heart, and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, the slave maid sees that you have something on your mind, otherwise, let's go out to the market and relax, maybe we will think of a way when the mood is relaxed?" ”
Speaking of visiting the market, Tian Tian's eyes lit up, but when she thought that there were so many people following her, and she would be temporarily cleared, her interest decreased by more than half, and she suddenly didn't want to go: "Forget it, don't go, I don't like a lot of people to follow, I'm uncomfortable." ”
Xianglan smiled: "Then we can not let them follow." Xianglan whispered, "We can sneak out through the back door, no one will know." ”
Tian Tian suddenly became interested: "Are you sure you can?" ”
Xianglan smiled: "It should be okay, I have a good relationship with the mother-in-law guarding the back door, at that time, the lady will dress plainly, and the slave will say that it is a new maid, and the doorkeeper's eyes are not very good, and she will not look carefully." ”
"Okay, that's it, Xianglan, you go and get a set of your clothes for me to change into." Tian Tian said that he would do it, and he couldn't help but want to go out immediately.
"Yes, the slave will go and get it." Xianglan hurriedly went back to her room and brought a new pink dress.
Tian Tian quickly put it on, and the master and servant went out through the back door.
The gatekeeper is nearly fifty years old this year, and when she was young, she embroidered for a long time, and her eyes were not good, so Tian Tian successfully went out.
Finally breathing in the fresh air, the corners of Tian Tian's mouth rose sharply, and she had been holding a shelf in the mansion to be the county lady, she was really tired.
Tian Tian didn't be happy for long, as the master and servant entered the market, a large number of beggars and homeless people begged along the street, and she was sad to see it.
Among those beggars and homeless people, there were old people over 50 years old, and children under 10 years old, all dressed in tatters, hungry with yellow faces and thin muscles, and begging along the street with a broken bowl, the situation was very sad.
She came out once before, with Xu Mu, because the pedestrians and people were cleared, she didn't see such a scene.
In the memory of the original owner, this year was a year of great disaster, most of the people had a dismal harvest, and after paying the taxes, they could hardly eat, and the same is why there were so many beggars and homeless people on the streets.
"Xianglan, how much silver did we bring out today?" Tian Tian asked.
Xianglan said truthfully: "Mrs. Huiyu, I brought out two hundred taels of silver today. She wanted her lady to have a good time, so she took a lot of money out.
Tian Tian nodded: "Okay, you take one hundred taels of silver and exchange all of them for food and rice, and then take one hundred taels of silver to buy some clothes that can wrap yourself and send them to those old people and children." ”
Xianglan frowned: "Madam, you spent all the silver....", what are they going to do later?"
"It's okay, just do what I say." Now that there are so many beggars and homeless people on the street, where does she still have the heart to go shopping.
"Yes." Xianglan had no choice but to do what Tian Tian said.
The master and servant immediately went to hire a few coolies who could do hard work, and then bought several carts of white-flour steamed buns and winter clothes, and sent them one by one.
When the beggars saw that pie was falling from the sky, they were so excited that they hurriedly thanked them.
Tian Tian and Xianglan worked hard all morning, and finally finished distributing the last steamed bun.
The master and servant sat on the ground tiredly, panting heavily, and they couldn't wipe the sweat from their faces.
At this time, a gurgling sound sounded, it was Tian Tian's stomach, she touched her stomach bitterly, and if she endured it, she would have something to eat when she went home.
Xianglan proposed: "Madam, let's go to a nearby restaurant for dinner." "The two of them are tired now and have no strength, and if they go back to the house to eat, they will have to faint from hunger.
Tian Tian was puzzled: "Don't you buy all the money on your body?" "What money do you take to eat at a restaurant?
Xianglan said embarrassedly: "The slave is afraid that there will be an emergency, so she left ten taels of silver for emergency." ”
Tian Tian smiled: "Okay, very good." "I have to say that Xianglan is a very careful girl, she does things properly and thoughtfully, otherwise she would really be hungry today.
"Let's go, let's go now." Tian Tian got up from the ground in one go, patted the dust on his clothes, and the master and servant went to the nearest restaurant.
Tian Tian went to the famous Jinxiang Building nearby, and the people with heads and faces in the county town like to come here for dinner.
Jinxiang Building has two floors, the first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the box, the store decoration is antique, the walls are full of poetic paintings, very elegant.
Tian Tian looks beautiful, even if she is wearing a pink cotton dress, she is still beautiful and refined, and as soon as He Xianglan entered the store, she attracted countless eyes.
Tian Tian has no feeling for this kind of gaze, the original owner has stood out from the crowd since she was a child, she has long been accustomed to it, and she is also a beautiful girl in modern times, and there is no shortage of people who appreciate her.
"Shopkeeper, my wife wants a private room." Pandan Road.
"Okay, officer." The shopkeeper enthusiastically took the master and servant upstairs.
As soon as I went up the stairs, I heard footsteps and a group of people coming down from upstairs.
The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer will wait for a while, and then go up after the guests upstairs come down." "The shopkeeper's move is also for the sake of Tian Tian and the others, and there is a group of male customers downstairs, they are female customers, and the two parties collide, and it is naturally the female customers who suffer.
Tian Tian responded: "Okay." He then took two steps back, stood to the side, and gave up his seat to wait for the guests upstairs to come down.
The shopkeeper greeted the guests downstairs eagerly: "Young Master Zhou, have you eaten?" ”
When Tian Tian heard about Young Master Zhou, he couldn't help but think of Young Master Zhou in the rape/rape case, are these two people the same person? Tian Tian couldn't help but look up at him.
The sight was a man of about twenty-four or five years old, seven feet tall, mediocre in appearance, with a blushing complexion, wearing a blue silk jacket, and being surrounded by a group of blue-clothed men who went downstairs.
His eyes just caught Tian Tian, and saw that her appearance was beautiful and smart, and she was like a lotus flower in a pink dress, and her eyes suddenly moved, her eyes were obscene, and her steps downstairs were a little faster, and she walked towards Tian Tian eagerly.
Tian Tian was extremely disgusted, and hurriedly said to Xianglan: "Let's go, let's not eat." ”
Xianglan also sensed that something was wrong, nodded and mumbled, and quickly followed Tian Tian.
"Don't go, beauty." Zhou Dashao took three steps and made two steps to catch up with Tian Tian and block her way. A group of housekeepers behind him also followed him to surround them, and the stairs were instantly surrounded by water.
As soon as he approached, a strong pungent smell of wine came to his face, Tian Tian couldn't help frowning, and stared at him coldly: "What are you going to do?" ”
"When the beauty sees me, what are you doing?" Zhou Dashao looked at her with a smile, she was already shocked on the stairs before, but now that she has gone, she is even more beautiful like a fairy descending to earth, obviously wearing ordinary clothes, but the light spirit on her body is elegant and vulgar, so people can't help but look at her and are reluctant to look away.
Zhou Dashao suddenly had the urge to take people home and treasure them.
"Which family in the county are you, why are you so face-to-face?" No one knows better than him what beauties there are in this county, but he has never seen this beauty in front of him.
"What do you have to do, get out of the way quickly, and let us go, otherwise you will definitely not be able to eat and go around." Xianglan was furious, and her little face turned red. She didn't take the initiative to say the identity of her wife, after all, there are many people in this restaurant, and there are many enemies of adults.
When she went to inquire about the movements of adults a few days ago, she overheard Zhou Nan say that every time an adult travels with so many people, in addition to pomp, the most important thing is to prevent being assassinated.
"You little girl dare to talk to Young Master Ben like this, have you lived enough?" Zhou Dashao said coldly.
Although Xianglan roared loudly, she was still a little girl in essence, and as soon as Zhou Dashao said this, she suddenly turned pale with fright.
Tian Tian hurriedly protected Xianglan behind him, and said coldly to Zhou Dashao: "Let us go, we are not to blame for today's affairs." "At this time, it can only be a big thing and a small thing.
"What if I don't let it go." Zhou Dashao smiled lewdly/trivially, his eyes kept looking at Tian Tian, and his eyes were hot as if Tian Tian was not wearing clothes.
"I'm not someone you can offend." Tian Tian lowered his voice and said, "I am Mrs. Zhixian." ”
She wanted to identify herself, and Zhou Dashao would let her go, but she was wrong, Zhou Dashao not only didn't let her go, but laughed and picked her up.
Tian Tian was shocked, and kept struggling in his arms: "Presumptuous, surnamed Zhou, let go of me, I am Mrs. Zhixian." At this time, she didn't care about any enemies, she just wanted to show her identity and get out quickly.
Zhou Dashao seemed to have heard some big joke: "Beauty, do you know that in Changping County, I am only afraid of the magistrate, so you moved out of the county magistrate to bluff me?" I'm telling you, just like you, ten more can't be Mrs. Zhixian.
Although the county magistrate has just become married, but the name of his beloved wife is widely spread, if you are really the county lady, not to mention your dress, just say that the trip should at least follow dozens of people, the head is much bigger than me. ”
Zhou Dashao took the opportunity to touch Tian Tian's face, was very satisfied with the touch on his hand, and sighed: "Beauty, before you want to scare me next time, use your brain first." ”
