Swimming to the shore, Yong Ruo climbed onto the shore dripping wet, climbed over the railing, and stood barefoot on the shore of the lake.
It is very inappropriate for everyone's lady and Xiaojia Biyu to show her feet. However, it is common for girls from the poorest class to wear no shoes, and there are countless people who walk around barefoot, and no one cares whether their feet are looked at. This is knowing honor and disgrace with enough food and clothing!
"Thank you for your generous reward, sir! The little girl is very grateful!" Wearing wet single clothes and dripping hair, Yong Ruo firmly held the silver ingot and blessed the noble son.
At this time, the simple "makeup" on her face made of mud and pot bottom ash had been soaked to pieces, but she hadn't washed it off, making her face into a big painted face.
"My lord, are you satisfied with this little girl's appearance as a drowned chicken?" Yong Ruo asked the noble young master with a smile.
Although I am wet now, there is still a bellyband under the unlined clothing. In addition, the body is poorly nourished and poorly developed. The whole person is thin and dry, and the chest is flat like an airport. There is no danger of dew points or exposure. .
"I..." The noble young master came back to his senses, his gaze involuntarily dodged away, and he didn't dare to look at Yong Ruo again.
His face changed a few times, and finally he took a deep breath, sighed, bowed deeply to Yongruo, and stammered, "I... I'm sorry!"
Yong Ruoxin said: This is right! Knowing that you are wrong shows that your nature is not bad.
But he said with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to apologize! There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you want to get extra rewards, you have to pay extra hard work. It is the little girl who goes into the water to get money, and she is willing to do it on her own initiative. You don't have to feel bad about it. Guilty." If I excuse you like this, you will be both happy and guilty, right
Sure enough, the young master bowed to her again, and the shame on his face became more and more obvious: "Young lady! I... I... I really feel guilty!"
Yong Ruo said: "Since the young master said so, the little girl will try to persuade you. The young master was born in the midst of wealth and honor, so he probably knows less about the sufferings of the people. There are many poor and crazy people like the little girl, let alone Five taels of silver, even one tael of silver, there are some people who are willing to risk their lives. If you don’t want to take your life for fun, you’d better not do such things in the future, lest you really take your life and feel guilty.”
The young master listened carefully with shame on his face, fell silent, and gave Yong Ruo a deep bow for the third time: "What the girl said, I will never forget it! From now on, I will never do such a foolish thing again."
After receiving five taels of silver and giving the young master a lesson, Yong Ruo nodded with a sense of relief.
She picked up the basket that was placed on the ground, put on her shoes, and knelt down to the noble young man again: "Little girl is going to change clothes, so as not to catch a cold. Let me take my leave now."
He nodded to the scribe behind the young master, turned around and trotted away—it was getting colder and colder after getting out of the water, and it would be warmer to run for two steps.
There was a small inn open not far away, and she saw it when she was selling flowers.
Although it costs money to open a room in a small inn, this little money can be regarded as the cost of today's business. For the sake of your body, don't be too stingy.
At the entrance of the inn, Yong Ruo raised his voice and said: "Boss, come to a single room, and prepare a bucket of hot water for me to bathe in, and make a bowl of tangerine peel ginger soup. Get me two braziers and a few sticks, and I will roast it." Clothes and hair."
The innkeeper was taken aback by her drowned appearance, and hurriedly asked the staff to open a room for her, bring her a brazier, and prepare hot water for her to bathe in.
Yong Ruo followed the clerk, entered a room, quickly bolted the door, shivered and took off all the wet clothes on his body, put on the jacket and cotton-padded jacket and trousers naked, then jumped on the bed, wrapped the quilt around his body, Finally felt a little warmth.
Not long after, the clerk brought in braziers, tubs, hot water, and fragrant soap, and bowed and said, "The tubs have been carefully washed, and this veil is brand new, so feel free to use it, girl."
Yong Ruo asked them to bring in a bucket of clear water and a bucket of boiling water, and those guys also responded with a smile.
After all the things were brought in, Yong Ruo bolted the door again, took off his cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and climbed into the bathtub.
so comfortable!
She soaked in the hot water, and moaned in great satisfaction, feeling that all the exhaustion and coldness were quickly gone.
When the water was slightly cold, I scooped up boiling water with a ladle and added it in to continue soaking. When the bucket of boiling water was used up, she was hot from head to toe, and she was extremely comfortable.
Just about to get up from the bathtub, I heard a middle-aged woman's voice saying: "The little woman is the proprietress of this inn, and a young man ordered the little woman to bring these clothes to the girl, saying that it is a tailor shop. Buy it now, and make amends to the girl."
Yong Ruo was very surprised: that noble young master hasn't left yet? ! Suddenly thinking of the unusual enthusiasm of the buddy when he delivered things before, I knew it in my heart. He said: "Just wait a moment, I will come."
She climbed out of the tub, took the supposedly brand new handkerchief and dried off the water on her body, then put on a dry jacket and cotton jacket and trousers, and went to open the door.
Outside the door, a woman with neatly combed hair and a very kind face was holding a large tray, in which were not only clothes, but also combs, bronze mirrors and other things.
The woman put down her clothes and went out.
Yong Ruo flipped through it, and found that the whole set was brand new from the inside to the outside, and the material was excellent. Is it silk or satin? The workmanship is also good, the stitches are fine and even, and there is no place where it is not hot.
Yong Ruo was very satisfied, and felt that the auspicious star was shining tonight, and the fortune was on the line, and it was considered a small fortune.
This dress is the most exquisite and exquisite dress she has ever touched since wearing it!
But she didn't put on the new clothes right away. I dare not wear new unwashed clothes, especially close-fitting clothes, due to the stinky problems brought about by my previous life.
In a happy mood, she put the drenched underwear, apron, etc. into the bathtub, and washed them with the still warm bath water. After washing, I washed it again with the bucket of clean water, then wrung it dry, put it on a brazier and put it on a brazier to bake.
The charcoal fire in the brazier was very hot, and it didn't take long to dry all the clothes and hair.
Yong Ruozhong put on these rags and old clothes again, and carefully carried the rucksack - inside was the ingot of silver and the copper coins he earned earlier.
She is not very good at combing hair buns, so she divides her hair into front and back strands, and the latter strands are tied behind her back—this is the hair style of unmarried girls. up. After tying it up, seeing that there was only one plum blossom left in the basket, he also stuck that plum blossom on his head.
"Today is the holiday, I'll also put some flowers on my hair, let's make a fortune!" She looked in the mirror, adjusted the position of the flowers, and thought it looked pretty good, very festive.
He smiled at himself in the mirror. Then she took the furoshiki that she had used as a scarf before, and wrapped all the good clothes sent by the young master, put the burden in the basket, hugged the basket, and reluctantly left the warm room.
If you sleep in this room for one night, it should be very comfortable.
It's a pity that Yongqiao and Yongmiao are still waiting for her at home. If she doesn't come back overnight, will they think they have been abandoned? In addition, Zhou's situation is also very bad, she is really worried, it is impossible to be so extravagant.
The proprietress, whose hair was combed very neatly, moved a bamboo chair and sat on the porch waiting.
Seeing her coming out, the proprietress hurriedly stood up and greeted her and said, "Girl, that young master has booked all the elegant rooms upstairs in the lobby and is drinking tea there. The young master asked the little lady to wait here. He said he was waiting for her." When the girl comes out, please see him, he has something to ask."
consult? Yong Ruo thought for a while and said with a smile, "Thank you, lady boss! Please lead the way!"
That noble son has already apologized and lost his clothes, what else do you want to "ask"? After all, she jumped off by herself, and he didn't throw or hit her. He's done what he has to do, what else is there to say? !
Holding the bamboo basket in his arms, Yong Ruo came to the lobby of the inn, and went up to the second floor of the lobby. The two men stood guard at the stairs, bowed to Yong Ruo and the proprietress, and stepped aside to stand against the wall, making way for them.
The proprietress didn't go any further, but bowed down and blessed Yong Ruofu, and said: "The young master is in the third elegant room, the young lady can just go."
Yong Ruo nodded, and walked slowly to the third elegant room, observing while walking.
There are four elegant rooms, and the doors are all open. The first elegant room was empty. There are a few people drinking tea in the second elegant room, but they were met by the lake before, and Yue Mo is also your son's guard. At the door of the third elegant room stood a man with a long sword hanging from his waist, who was one of the two guards behind the noble young master.
Seeing Yong Ruo approaching, the guard with the sword said to the elegant room: "Master, the girl is here!" After speaking, he turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
When Yong Ruo walked to the door of the elegant room, he saw the noble young master and the scribe standing up to greet him.
Yong Ruo was overwhelmed by flattery, and felt that the nobleman's style had changed too much tonight, and he was simply trying to change his face.
When the young master saw Yong Ruo's face, he was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised. But he quickly came to his senses, and introduced himself very humbly: "My surname is Feng, my name is Liao, and my characters are deep. I don't know what is your name?"
Yong Ruo also formally greeted him: "The little girl's surname is Yong, and she is the head of the family. I have met Mr. Feng."
The noble son introduced to Yongruo the people who served him. The scribe dressed as An Zimo was called An Zimo, and the guard with a sword at the door was named Su Mingjian.
After getting to know each other, An Zimo left the elegant room and closed the door.
In the elegant room, only Yong Ruo and Feng Liao were left standing opposite each other.
"What are your orders, Master?" Yong Ruo asked Feng Liao.
She felt that Feng Liao was quite tall, and there was a distance of about two meters between the two of them, and she had to raise her head slightly to see his face.
Feng Liao bowed her hands to Yongruo, bowed her head, and said very humbly: "Young lady said that I was born in the midst of wealth, and know less about the sufferings of the people. I think so. So I would like to invite the young lady to have a few drinks." Cup, tell me about the sufferings of the people."
Yong Ruo was amused when he heard it: Who is this Mr. Feng? Waiting here just to hear her talk about "people's suffering"? !
"My lord, I'm sorry, it's getting late at this time, and the little girl is in a hurry to go home, so I'm afraid I can't have a drink with you!" I'm not the third escort, but I want to eat, drink and chat with you? Uh, though she'd love to stay and have a good meal.
Feng Liao tightened her arched hands slightly, and raised her eyes to look at Yong Ruo, her eyes were not calm.
Then he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then straightened up, put one hand behind his back, bent the other casually on his side, and smiled reservedly: "Ten taels of silver! If you promise me, I will give you ten taels of silver." .In addition, I will give you a name card. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can use the name card to ask me for help."
Ten... ten taels of silver? ! Famous assassin? !
Yong Ruo felt that this Mr. Feng was well versed in the principle of beating a snake and hitting seven inches, and when he saw something was wrong, he greeted her at the gate of life!
