Chapter 088: Xicheng (I)
Liang Xiaoya had always been worried about Chen Ao, and as soon as the morning dawned, she rushed out of the door and rushed to the county office. www.biquge.info Who knew that as soon as she came in, she heard He Jiangyue and Chen Ao slandering Liang Sizhi, how could she not be angry?
Looking at Liang Xiaoya's cheeks flushed with anger, Chen Ao was a little silent, not knowing what to say. He can understand her thoughts, Liang Sizhi will only care for her brother, how can there be so many scheming?
He Jiangyue smiled faintly, as if he didn't want to argue with Liang Xiaoya. He had heard about Liang Xiaoya and knew that although this girl was naughty and willful, she had no bad intentions. Even with a poor woman like Wu Ping'er, she gets along well. Yesterday, he personally tied up Lu Degui.
In He Jiangyue's view, Liang Xiaoya is just a rich lady who doesn't know the world. I simply couldn't argue with her.
Liang Xiaoya didn't give up, pointed at He Jiangyue and said angrily: "If you don't make it clear today, don't blame Miss Ben for being polite!"
Chen Ao got up and said, "Xiaoya, forget it......"
"No!" Liang Xiaoya said angrily, "If he dares to slander his eldest brother, I can't spare him." The eldest brother worked hard for Liang Cheng. If it weren't for him, would Liang Cheng be as prosperous as he is now? Moreover, he is also very good to people, and he never scolds people loudly!"
Her mouth widened, thinking of Liang Sizhi's concern for her on weekdays, she couldn't help but feel a sour corner of her eyes.
He Jiangyue smiled slightly, got up and said, "Okay, well, since that's the case, then even if I said something wrong." Miss Liang hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right? Why don't I invite you to eat a bowl of wontons!"
Liang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yue was really convinced by what she said, so she was no longer angry. She did not have breakfast before she came, and just as she felt hungry, she nodded.
He Jiangyue led the two out of the county office and turned to the west.
Liang Xiaoya was stunned again, and said in surprise: "What?
He Jiangyue smiled: "Of course." We are not rich families, so naturally we can only go to Xicheng. I, Lord Chen, and Miss Wu Ping'er, we are all the same. Miss Liang, if you don't like ......"
Liang Xiaoya was afraid that she would be excluded from their circle, so she hurriedly said, "What don't you like." If you go to Xicheng, you will go to Xicheng!"
Chen Ao faintly understood He Jiangyue's intentions, sighed softly, glanced at Liang Xiaoya, and said in his heart, maybe from now on, this rich lady's worldview will completely collapse......
The three of them walked through the narrow and dirty alleyway and stood on a small street in the West Side. It was morning and the streets were bustling with activity. A few breakfast stalls are steaming, steamed buns, noodles, glutinous cakes, and all kinds of snacks.
He Jiangyue walked to an early stall and sat down, took out six copper coins, and shouted, "Brother Sun, come to three bowls of wontons!"
A loyal little brother smiled and said, "Master He, you haven't come for a while! Wait a minute, this is coming!" said and began to gather in front of the pot of boiling water.
A beautiful young woman came over to collect the copper coin, and said with a smile: "Brother He, you wait a minute. A four or five-year-old child followed his mother's feet and brought a bowl of fried broad beans, which was considered a side dish for the three of them.
Liang Xiaoya smiled silently at the little boy's head. She also likes such cute and well-behaved children very much.
Not long after, the ravioli are served. The grease on the table and the cracks in the porcelain bowl did not hide the aroma of the ravioli. Liang Xiaoya couldn't resist the temptation after all, and took a small bite.
She was amazed: "It's so delicious! It's amazing to have such delicious wontons for two cents!"
He Jiangyue looked at her satisfied appearance and said with a smile: "However, such delicious wontons, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them in a few days." ”
Liang Xiaoya was stunned, and was about to ask why, when she heard a loud laugh. Two men dressed in green cloth shirts shook and walked over, laughing as they walked: "Sun Dali, your business is good!"
Sun Dali accompanied the smiling face and said, "Yes, yes, thanks to Brother Qian and Brother Guan's care......"
Liang Xiaoya didn't know what to mean, and asked, "...... are they?"
He Jiangyue smiled and said softly: "They are the guards of your Liang family, who are in charge of the Xicheng area, presumably you are not common, right? Every morning at this time, they will come to collect security money as usual." ”
By this time, the two guards had already entered the stall and sat down. Sun Dali hurriedly said: "The two eldest brothers sit down for a while, and I will cook wontons for you!"
The man surnamed Qian put his hand up and said, "Slow! Today's money, it's time to pay it, right?"
Sun Dali was stunned for a moment, and Sun Dali's daughter-in-law next to him begged: "The two eldest brothers are good, we just started business, where did the money come from?"
The guard surnamed Guan sneered and said, "No money, I remember yesterday and the day before yesterday, you said the same thing, right?"
Sun Dali and his wife were silent. Guard Qian stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't have money, why don't you do it......"
He said with a smile, and suddenly grabbed Sun Dali's four or five-year-old child in his hand, mentioned the hot water pot, and said with a smile: "I threw this child into the pot and cooked a pot of fresh soup, even if it offsets the money you owe in the past few days, how about it?"
Sun Dali and his wife turned pale with fright, both knelt down, and begged: "Brother Qian...... No......"
The guard grabbed his wife, touched and pinched her chest and buttocks, and said with a cruel smile: "If you let your delicate daughter-in-law sleep with our brothers, that's fine!"
Sun Dali's eyes were torn apart, on the left was the child whose fate was hanging by a thread, and on the right was his wife who had been insulted, how could he choose? He clenched his fists, but he knew that the two people in front of him could do kung fu, and if he acted rashly, not only would he not be able to save people, but he was afraid that all three of them would be unlucky.
Sun Dali took out a small cloth bag from the box and threw it at the feet of the guards. In it was the forty or so money they had saved by frugality. They had planned to use the money to prepare some dry food and move out of Liangcheng. In this way, their hope of escaping from here was once again extinguished.
He Jiangyue smiled sadly and said, "It seems that this wonton has been eaten again." He fiddled with the wontons in the bowl, not at all glad.
The other tables of guests in the stall also lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, not daring to even look at them.
Liang Xiaoya was already furious, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Who are you?
The two guards got the money, and let the woman and the child go. They were about to leave, when they suddenly heard Liang Xiaoya's questioning, and turned around and came back.
These two people are the most inferior guards of the Liang Mansion, so naturally they have no chance to meet Liang Xiaoya. Seeing a delicate girl questioning like this, the two of them laughed instead of anger, and said, "Yo, where did this little girl's skin come from?
He Jiangyue sneered, not intending to ignore them. Liang Xiaoya's chest rose and fell sharply in anger, and she said angrily: "Are you really from the Liang Mansion?"
Guan Guard sneered and said, "Yo, you know us? Didn't the little girl want to warm the quilt for the masters, and deliberately came to fight the grievances? Come with us!"
Liang Xiaoya's lips trembled with anger, and she couldn't speak. Chen Ao lightly pressed her hand, got up and said with a smile: "Two big brothers, little sister is just impulsive. Let's not interfere with the river water, let's go our own way!"
He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, which made the two of them dare not underestimate it. Qian Guard shouted, "Who are you kid?"
Chen Ao smiled faintly.
"Chen Ao!"
