Chapter 85: Complaints
Hearing that Lin Xian'er and Yang Yi had entered the palace as concubines, Master Mei felt uncomfortable. The girl who pulls the big girl in vain can't fly on the branches to become a phoenix, and Master Mei feels very worthless. The girl is obviously the first place in the five golden flowers, but the choice of the concubine has been replaced by her, and there must be an unknown secret in it.
Master Mei sat in the hall and drank Biluochun, but the anger in his heart was burning. So he sent someone to summon the girl, but the servant replied that Mei Ruoxue was not in the room. Master Mei didn't have the heart to drink tea anymore, so he sent people around to look for Mei Ruoxue.
Recently, the business of the Ruoxue Tavern has been very cold, and it has almost reached the point of closure. The people of Suzhou were hit by a once-in-a-60-year drought, and the crops were not harvested well, and each of them tightened their shy pockets.
When winter comes, the bare trunks add to the gloomy scene. The cold wind made passers-by shiver. The beggars begging for food on the side of the road gathered and squatted on the streets of the downtown area, dressed in rags and reeds, and their old hands held up a broken bowl with a missing mouth, watching people come and go.
Mei Ruoxue will throw some fragmentary copper plates per person when she passes by, and if Dong Xiang is there, she will definitely count her love overflowing. But Mei Ruoxue is such a person, no matter her background, no matter her background, or whether she is high or low, she will always put herself in the shoes of others. It may be that Mei Ruoxue is too focused on her love and doesn't care too much about pedestrians passing by. A young thief spotted the purse at her waist, slipped his hand into his arms, and ran away with a quick pace.
When Mei Ruoxue inadvertently touched her waist, she found that the money bag was gone, and the thief disappeared into the crowd. Mei Ruoxue was unwilling, after all, there were a hundred taels of silver in it, but it couldn't be cheap for thieves and encourage unhealthy trends.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!" Mei Ruoxue shouted as she ran.
Suddenly, Guo Yitian appeared in front of him and took out a money bag: "Miss Mei, is this money bag yours?"
Mei Ruoxue saw that this was no different from her lost money bag: "Yes." It's this money bag. She took the money bag and counted the silver taels in it, just no more and no less, and wondered: "In the vast sea of people, how did you catch the thief?"
"I saw a young man running desperately down the middle of nowhere, and I guessed he must have a ghost in his heart. So no matter what 3721 came forward to arrest him, he asked him if he had done something wrong. Of course, the thief didn't want to admit it, and I wanted to salute before I soldiered. Later, I found a bulge in his arms, and I searched my body to find the money bag. Eventually, the thief confessed, and I learned that your purse was missing, so I came to you. ”
"It's really you! Xiaotian, I want to donate this 100 taels of silver to buy 50 sets of cotton clothes and distribute them to those who are homeless or in rags. Mei Ruoxue calculated.
"Okay! I'll add another three hundred taels to buy a total of two hundred cotton clothes. Guo Yitian said cheerfully.
Just do it, and after a while, Guo Yitian pushed a cart of cotton clothes over to distribute them. Most of the recipients are from disadvantaged groups, so the two of them felt that this charity was very meaningful.
In less than an hour, most of the cotton clothes were distributed.
In the distance, the servant of the Mei Mansion saw Mei Ruoxue's figure, and then ran to him, "Miss Mei, I finally found you, the master is looking for you for something." ”
"Don't you see I'm busy now? I'll go back and explain to the master later. Mei Ruoxue directly refused.
"But the master is impatient, so you better go back with us. If we return empty-handed, the lord will punish us subordinates. The servant explained anxiously.
"Alright, alright, I'll go back with you. Mei Ruoxue turned around, and then looked at Guo Yitian with her gentle eyes, "Xiaotian, the matter here will be left to you." There's something going on at home, I'll go first, see you next time. ”
Back at the Mei Mansion, Master Mei put on a straight face and reprimanded: "What kind of system is Cheng! A famous lady actually has an intersection with a low-level person, which is really unusual." ”
"Dad, don't be angry. I'll go and make a pot for you, Biluochun, and lower your fire. Mei Ruoxue was like the little padded jacket on Master Mei, giving him a warm feeling.
Every time it's like this, Master Mei is angry, and Mei Ruoxue is obedient. But this trick has been used for a long time, and it won't work very well for Master Mei. Master Mei asked, "What I want is for you to become a golden phoenix and lead the family to prosperity." But you are always disobedient, Dad is a person from the past, and he knows more truths than you have walked. Tell Dad, was it your idea to rewrite the ranking of the Five Golden Flowers last time?"
Mei Ruoxue added a cup of tea to Master Mei, and then looked at him with innocent eyes. Master Mei's eyes are still hot, but it is difficult to hide the injustice in his heart.
Mei Ruoxue didn't know who the person who rewrote the ranking of the Five Golden Flowers was, but she was grateful to that person. It is a blessing to be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, and if you can't, you don't have to complain. Sometimes Master Mei just likes to lose his temper and wants to find a good family to marry Mei Ruoxue, so that he can be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors. Instead of thanking the person who wasn't sure who it was, it was better to generously admit that she did it herself: "That's right, I asked Guan Dadong to do this." Don't forget that the last time the Masked Man raided the Mei Mansion, it was he who showed up in time to drive the Masked Man away. He is the life-saving benefactor of the Mei family, and since he agrees to change his name, he must have his reasons and hardships. ”
was silent for a long time, and Master Mei didn't say a word. Mei Ruoxue hurriedly ran away, so as not to make things difficult for him again.
On the other side, Master Li saw Governor Zhang, and his face was disappointed: "Who do I think it is? It turned out to be Master Zhang, did you come to Yihong Courtyard to find a Hua Dan to have fun?" Inspector Zhang knew that Master Li was still angry that he didn't give a high score, but this was also the only way to keep her. Master Li continued to sarcastically say, "I misunderstood you at the beginning, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. After a night of lingering, my ass was not cleaned, so I wanted to pat my ass and leave. There are rules in the industry, and the same is true for selling meat, we are businessmen, so don't come if you don't have money in the future, so as not to delay me to pick up customers. ”
Governor Zhang persuaded with good words: "Master, I am doing this for your own good. There are 3,000 beauties in the emperor's harem, and there are not many concubines who can enter the eyes of the saint, and there are even fewer concubines who can find out the temper of the saint, so I won't let you go to the palace, I will raise you. ”
Master Li snorted and felt distrustful: "What do you take to support me? I would be better off without you. ”
In the face of some questioning, Li Xiangru is a scholar after all, and his talent naturally goes without saying, and he explained extremely patiently: "But those who do your job are low-status people, and they will be looked down upon by others." I can give you whatever you want, and I can also give you a title, which is to be my concubine. ”
The olive branch thrown by Governor Zhang, Master Li felt a sense of loss. The gap between the concubine and the concubine made Master Li very sad: "Concubine, I'm not rare." You go, I'm going to be self-reliant. Governor Zhang grabbed Master Li's hand and refused to leave, but in the end she broke free, and then ran away.
