Duo Ni noticed that Ye Xiaotian's palms were cold, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiaotian, what's wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian tightened Donny's little hand, didn't speak, just led her and walked forward slowly. At the crossroads ahead stood a woman in commoner clothes, holding a small bundle in her hand, and in front of her was a fat woman and a woman with slightly raised eyebrows, who looked rather high-spirited despite her beauty The little maid in Tsing Yi blocked it.
The woman in the cloth dress turned her back to Ye Xiaotian, and didn't notice him, but Ye Xiaotian just took a look at her back, and recognized her immediately, it was Shui Wu. After Ye Xiaotian said goodbye to her in Guiyang, he never heard from her again. He never expected to meet her here.
The big fat woman put her hands on her hips, curled her lips, and said to Shui Wu with a sneer: "You eat and drink for free at our house, why do you still want to take it for free before you leave?"
Shui Wu said in a timid voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a gift from the master."
The little girl in Tsing Yi sneered, and said sharply: "The money that our master gave you? Did our wife agree? There is no reason, why did our master give you the money, shameless slut, don't shamelessly hook up with our master Bar."
"That's right!" The big fat woman also sneered: "You don't have to be so cheeky, you can sell it, anyway, you are quite a provocative girl, there must be someone who will do your business."
"You... you..." Shui Wu was so angry that her face was flushed and her whole body was trembling.
The maid in Tsing Yi said to the big fat woman: "Auntie, you think it's easy to be a whore. If it's a kiln sister who half-closed the door, it's fine. If it's a brothel, people have strict rules. Don't get involved with the officialdom. Don't want to have a criminal record, don't want to be over 17 years old, don't want to have a look of bad luck, just her? A broom star, it's just giving money, people may not be interested in it."
These words were too vicious, and Shui Wu's tears rolled in her eyes. She took out a silver ingot weighing five taels from her bag, and angrily stuffed it into the girl's hand. She was about to turn around, but the little girl grabbed her and shouted: "Wait a minute! Just wait!" so much?"
Shui Wu said: "Master Qi only gave me so much."
The fat woman sneered and said: "Then who knows, you are a coquettish girl who is used to coaxing people, maybe if you pour a bowl of misty soup, our master will give you fifty taels in a daze, hand over the burden, Let's do a search."
Shui Wu was trembling with anger, and tremblingly said: "Don't bully others too much!"
The maid in Tsing Yi stretched out her hand to grab her bag, and shouted: "Bring it!"
The bag was full of Shui Wu's underwear, how to show it to others, the girl in green tugged hard, at this moment, Ye Xiaotian flashed over and rushed in front of them.
He listened to the conversation between the two sides. He heard the voice. Shui Wu must have gone to some rich family to work as a maidservant. For some reason, it is most likely that she was hostile by his wife, so the male master of the family gave it to her as a gift. She sent her away with five taels of silver. But the lady didn't give up, and sent someone to chase after her to get back the silver taels.
If it was just like this, Ye Xiaotian wouldn't get angry, but this woman's little maid was so mean and humiliating, Ye Xiaotian was angry from the heart, and the evil grew out of his guts. When he rushed to face him, he slapped him across the face, making the little maid turn around on the spot Quan'er covered his cheeks and stared blankly at him, then suddenly screamed, pounced on him with spread fingers, and howled, "How dare you hit..."
She jumped up like a little wild cat, but before she caught Ye Xiaotian's face, she was kicked out by Ye Xiaotian, and fell to the ground with a muffled groan. He dared to step forward again, but just barked his teeth and claws on the spot: "You dare to hit me, do you know whose family I am from?"
Ye Xiaotian took a step forward, the fat woman trembled in fright, she hurriedly took a step back, and said sternly, "You... what do you want?"
Ye Xiaotian ignored her, but turned to look at Shui Wu. When Shui Wu saw it was him, the hot tears in her eyes flowed down, she didn't want Xiao Tian to underestimate her, she tried hard to hold back the tears, and kept reaching out to wipe the gushing tears, but it was nothing but flowers. Her face was covered with tears, how could she bear it.
Ye Xiaotian said softly: "Farewell to Guiyang, we finally meet again!"
Shui Wu burst into tears and couldn't say a word, she held back her tears, turned around and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Ye Xiaotian, who said softly, "Where is your mother?"
Shui Wu didn't look back, but choked up and said: "She... was killed by thieves on the way out of Guiyang."
Sister Sun widened her eyes, looked at Shui Wu curiously, and said in her heart: "Brother Xiaotian looks very familiar with this girl, don't be Brother Xiaotian's old friend, okay?"
Ye Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Come with me!"
Shui Wu shook her head and said sadly: "Brother Xiaotian, I am an ominous person. I can't forget the tragic death of my parents, and I have no face... Let you take care of me, Brother Xiaotian, let me go."
At this time, Qi Shaobao had already heard about the fact that his wife had sent someone to ask Shui Wu for the gift, so he couldn't help being angry and anxious. He had already received news from Jingli, and knew that Feng Bao had failed to stand firm in the tide of downfall after all, and was now on his way to Jinling.
Qi Shaobao gave up, so he could only decide to continue his journey and go to Guangzhou to take up his post, so he sent Shui Wu to leave according to the agreement with his wife. But she is a young girl, if she is penniless, how can she settle down? If she doesn't even give her money, parting is pushing her into the fire pit, so she rushed over immediately after hearing the news.
Before he arrived at the intersection, he saw a young man slapping the harsh little maid and holding Shui Wu to speak. He seemed to know her, so he slowed down and approached slowly.
Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "If I hadn't taken you away from Jingzhou back then, you wouldn't have experienced what happened to you today. Whether it was intentional or not, I can hardly absolve myself of the blame. If it wasn't because of the Yang family's pursuit of you, I have returned to the capital a long time ago, and I will not have today's Xianda, I owe you."
After hearing Ye Xiaotian's words, Shui Wu couldn't help bursting into tears. She sobbed and said, "This is my fate. The past is over. I don't want to talk about it. Now I just want to live alone. You just let me let's go."
At this time, Qi Shaobao came forward, cupped his hands to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Little brother."
When the fat lady and the maidservant in Tsing Yi saw him coming, they hurriedly said: "Your maidservant has seen the master!" The maidservant in Tsing Yi immediately complained indignantly: "Master, this kid doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but..."
"Slap!" Without saying a word, Qi Shaobao slapped the other half of her face again, Qi Shaobao said with a livid face, "Go back!" The young maid in Tsing Yi was stunned, gritted her teeth and ran back Reported to Mrs.
Qi Shaobao said to Ye Xiaotian: "Little brother, are you an old acquaintance with Miss Shuiwu?"
Seeing that Shui Wu was being bullied by this family, Ye Xiaotian didn't like the old man, so he gave him a cold look and said, "Yes! What's wrong?"
Qi Shaobao said: "Miss Shuiwu used to stay at my husband's house. Now I want to move my family to Guangzhou, so I can't take her with me. It's just that she is lonely and helpless. If she is sent away like this, I really don't feel at ease. Since the little brother is with Shuiwu It's the best if the girl knows each other, and please take care to help her settle down, so the old man will feel at ease."
As he spoke, Qi Shaobao took out an ingot of grain silver from his sleeve, and handed it to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "I have a friendship with Miss Shui Wu, of course I will help her settle down, but I don't need to worry about it. You don't have to cry like a cat and a mouse and pretend to be merciful. There are evil slaves like them , what good thing can your master do?"
Ye Xiaotian spat on Qi Shaobao, pulled up Shuiwu and left. Qi Jiguang stood there blankly holding the silver, speechless for a while.
※※※
"The old man is Qi Shaobao?"
Ye Xiaotian let out a strange cry, and stood up abruptly. He didn't expect that the old man who was scolded so bloody by him was the famous Qi Jiguang. Thinking of this old man who fought all his life and killed countless people by his hands, Ye Xiaotian felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Although Ye Xiaotian has a generous temper, he still has a sense of awe towards the person he truly admires and admires. He never expected to be lucky enough to meet this world-renowned general today, but scold him severely. Doctor Guanglu, Prince Shaobao and Prince Taibao, Zuo Dudu, and a first-rank official of Jizhou Chief Military Officer are extremely human ministers. His brother Qi Jimei is now the general soldier of Guizhou, and he scolded him bloody.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian had already brought Shui Wu back to the Huitong Hall, Mao Wenzhi and Zhan Ning'er had both seen Shui Wu, and seeing her pitiful condition, they couldn't help feeling sympathetic. But their sympathetic eyes made Shui Wu feel like sitting on pins and needles.
Shui Wu was born as a servant girl, even if the master thinks highly of her, and even treats her as a sister, she knows that she is always a servant girl, a servant. So Shui Wu has never had any undue reserve and aloofness, she can let go of her social status, she can do dirty and tiring work to support herself, she is not afraid of others' ridicule and ridicule, but only in front of Ye Xiaotian, She wants to retain a bit of dignity. Her little self-esteem is particularly sensitive only in front of Ye Xiaotian. She didn't want Ye Xiaotian to feel sorry for her.
Shui Wu said faintly: "Brother Ye, Yaoyao... is she alright?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Yaoyao is fine, but I often think of you, so you can go back to Hu County with us."
Xue Shuiwu shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm very glad to see you again. I don't want to go to Huxian County. I am very relieved to have you taking care of her. With you taking care of her, my young lady is also under Jiuquan. I can rest in peace." After Shui Wu finished speaking, she saluted Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er, then turned and left.
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Where can you go?"
Shui Wu stopped, turned around, smiled cheerfully at Ye Xiaotian, and said, "You don't have to worry, the world is so big that I won't be able to accommodate Xue Shui Wu!" Otherwise, go to a local big family to find something to do, there is no unparalleled road!"
Shui Wu has Shui Wu's pride and her self-esteem, and only in front of Ye Xiaotian, her pride and self-esteem become particularly strong, is it because in her heart, Ye Xiaotian is different from everyone else
Ye Xiaotian silently watched her go out, until her figure completely disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, he never spoke again. When he became a real man, his mind seemed to mature a lot, and his temperament became more stable.
Zhan Ning'er glanced at him, and said, "You just let her go like this? Can you rest assured?"
Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "Some things, you can't be too persistent. If you are too persistent, you are stupid. Some things, you can't deliberately force them. If you are too deliberate, it will be self-defeating. Everything... Let it go."
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he sighed softly, turned around and walked into the room. Zhan Ning'er looked at his back in surprise, only felt that the gentleman's words were very Zen-like, and it sounded quite out of this world.
Zhan Ning'er was in a trance for a while before regaining consciousness. She collected herself, looked around, and suddenly felt something: "Hey! Where's Lao Mao?"
Duo Ni said: "Strange, he was still here just now, where did he go in a blink of an eye?"
Zhan Ning'er spat angrily, and said, "Damn! This bastard's words are so grandiose, I really think he's completely enlightened!"
