Xiaoyi Street, Xue's pawnshop.
knock knock knock
Hearing someone knocking on the door, the shopkeeper Yue Baili hurriedly locked the account book and two letters on the table into the drawer, and then answered with a loud voice, "Come in."
squeak~
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and the shop assistant, He San, hunched over and reported: "The shopkeeper, the eldest lady is here, saying that she is looking for some rare items to give away, and she is currently picking them in the backyard warehouse."
It's getting dark, what is Miss Xue doing here
Yue Baili frowned, got up and walked out of the inner hall with his hands on his back. He walked to the door of the warehouse in deep thought. After listening for a while, he found that there was only a faint whisper of a girl, and he couldn't hear it clearly. He walked in with a smile on his face.
After entering the door, seeing Xue Baoqin wearing a blue hat, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this little girl must have sneaked out again, not by the family's instructions.
So the smile on Yue Baili's face became a little more sincere, and he reminded half-truth: "Now, at this moment, young lady should not act willfully."
"This is the mouth?"
Xue Baoqin glanced back at Yue Baili in surprise, and asked curiously, "Did something happen recently?"
It turned out that this little girl did not know that the family business was in trouble.
Yue Baili was even more slack in his heart, and took advantage of the situation to change the topic and said: "It's not a big deal, I wonder what rare things Eldest Miss is looking for today?"
"Um… "
Xue Baoqin poked his chin lightly with his fingers. Although he was dressed in men's clothes, with a playful and serious appearance, the hearts of the two shop assistants were still beating wildly.
Just listen to her hesitant muttering: "It's best if the warrior likes... No, he doesn't seem to be a pure warrior."
What do warriors like
Not a pure warrior
Yuan Baili's heart moved, and he secretly thought that Xue Tao had touched a nail in the morning and still refused to give up, so he wanted to win Wang Ren's favor with a rare gift
But even if it's a gift, it shouldn't be the eldest lady to choose, right
He couldn't help but tentatively said: "But I don't know who the eldest lady is giving this gift to?"
This sentence suddenly stirred up Xue Baoqin's words, and she saw her nose up high, in a cadence like a storyteller: "Speaking of this, he is a famous man in the world. It is said that he was born with a bloody eye. With a smart eye, he is good at resolving yin and yang cases; and he has a bravery that is unparalleled in the world, and a single sword can defeat thousands of troops!"
Hearing this, one of the guys couldn't help but blurt out, "Could it be that General Sun who made a sword at Huguang?"
"Of course!"
Xue Baoqin slammed his little head a little, and then said proudly: "Because my uncle's elder brother, and General Sun, have a good relationship with General Sun, my brother went to the wharf to meet him today. Who knew that he met General Sun at first sight, and he was going to take him into a stake. Where's our shop!"
These remarks are 30% true and 70% false, but she said it in a ostentatious tone, but people couldn't help but believe it ten percent.
Yue Baili pondered in his heart that Xue Tad's actions like this were probably because he wanted to bring in strong aid—but Sun Shaozong was famous at a young age, but he really wanted to compare with which one, but he was afraid that he would still owe a lot of heat.
Just thinking about this, she heard Xue Baoqin say with a bit of doubt: "I also heard from my brother that General Sun is going to be promoted to the governor, but I don't know what official position this is? How can even Wang Yanei take the initiative? Go to the pier to meet him?"
Suppression envoy
Could it be the Zhenfu envoy in charge of Beizhen Fusi? !
Yue Baili's heart thumped, and he secretly said that if this is the case, this matter must not be underestimated - but who is an official, who is not afraid of the three points of Beizhen Fusi
It seems that I have to send a message to Suzhou, lest...
Just thinking about the countermeasures, she suddenly saw Xue Baoqin blinking her big eyes again, her face full of longing: "If General Sun really takes a stake in our shop and wants to do bad things without my brother in the future, it will not be so easy - just ask General Sun's argumentation, whether it is loyal or treacherous, there is no way to hide!"
Yue Baili had another challenge in his heart. Just now, he only cared about the name of Beizhen Fusi, but he forgot that Master Sun's ability to solve a case.
If Xue Ta discovers a problem and invites him to help with a thorough investigation, wouldn't he be...
No, it seems that the plan has to be pushed back a little further, at least we have to wait for Suzhou to solve this big trouble first!
With such a heavy heart, he picked out two treasures from the dead objects and escorted Xue Baoqin to the carriage. Yue Baili hurriedly returned to the inner hall, pulled out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and swiped.
But she said that Xue Baoqin got into the car, and just lowered the curtain, her face suddenly collapsed, buried her delicate body in the soft cushion, and murmured like a groan: "I don't know if this method will be able to stabilize the Zhen family. ."
But it turned out that it was the Jiangnan Zhen family who had a business entanglement with the Xue family.
This Zhen family is also a family friend with the Rongguofu and Wang family. In terms of closeness, it is even stronger than Xue Tu's mother and son. In terms of power, it is more than ten times more powerful.
When comparing the two sides, it is no wonder that Wang Ren deliberately neglected Xue Tao.
"what!"
At this moment, a woman outside the carriage suddenly exclaimed, followed by the coachman's scolding: "You woman doesn't have long eyes? How can you hit the horse's hoof so hard!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just didn't see it clearly!"
The scolded woman repeatedly pleaded guilty, but a pleasant voice sounded from the side: "Although my mother is at fault, with the weather like this, I'm afraid I should be slower."
"You little girl..."
"Blessing!"
Hearing that his own driver was still entangled, Xue Baoqin lifted the curtain of the car and said, "What they said makes sense. In this city, it should be slowed down."
After speaking, he nodded slightly to the opposite side: "Where has the lady been injured? There is a medical center not far ahead, I will take you..."
"No need, no need!"
When the woman was asked this question, she hurriedly shook her hand a few times and hurried across the street with a small package.
On the contrary, her daughter returned the salute generously, and then followed up unhurriedly.
"This sister is really a good color."
Xue Baoqin watched the other party go away, complimented her mouth, but added in her heart: It's only slightly inferior to this girl.
Not to mention how Xue Baoqin returned by car.
But she said that the mother and daughter were across the street, and when they looked back and saw that the carriage had gone far, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, but then she couldn't help complaining: "If it wasn't for your father's death to save face, and we had to leave the near and seek the far, how could there be. This time? Thanks to my flexible legs, otherwise I would have been…”
"mother!"
The girl stopped the unlucky one, and softly persuaded: "Dad is also worried that he will be looked down upon by the Wang family, which will cause a lot of inconvenience on the way to Beijing, so that's why we don't let us pawn in the vicinity - if we can know in advance that there is such a danger, he will definitely I can't let my mother bring something here."
The girl's voice was clear and sweet, and it had a refreshing warmth, which relieved her mother's annoyance in just a few words.
It's just that the woman's anger was relieved, but she was worried, and smiled bitterly: "What if you go to Beijing? Your aunt has been married to the grand master of Rongguo for 20 years. How did you ever take care of our family?"
But it turned out that the mother and daughter were none other than Madam Xing's sister-in-law and niece Xing Xiuyan.
Their mother and daughter originally followed Mrs. Xing's elder brother Xing Zhong to run some small businesses in Suzhou City.
Unexpectedly, the family's situation has deteriorated in the past few years, and now they can't even rent a house.
It was a coincidence that Wang Ren was passing by Suzhou, and the officials from all over the house went to see him off, and Xing Zhong also took advantage of the situation to climb up to relatives and wanted to take a boat ride to Beijing.
Who would have guessed that the Sichuan-funded toll was left over, but the cost of charging the scene increased by an unknown amount.
Just a few days after the trip, most of the Xing family's entanglement was used, and Xing Zhong refused to show his timidity in front of the Wang family, so he had to secretly let his wife and daughter pick up a few things and find a pawnshop far away to sell.
Less gossip.
But it was said that Xing Xiuyan's mother and daughter entered the Wang family's old house through the back door while taking advantage of the night. Who knows, they searched inside and out, but Xing Zhong's shadow was not seen.
The servant-wife who was on duty at night only found out what kind of General Sun was here. Because he also had some relatives with the Xing family, he invited Uncle Xing to accompany him.
"General Sun?"
When Xing Zhong's wife heard it, she didn't realize what was going on, but Xing Xiuyan's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask, "But Sun Shaozong and General Sun who just pacified the chaos in Huguang?!"
After getting the affirmative answer from the maid, Xing Xiuyan felt a little restless, and from time to time she looked into the front hall, her eyes full of longing.
Xing's mother saw that she had lost her usual stability, and even if there were some misunderstandings, she hurriedly advised her daughter: "Whatever General Sun and General Li, since they are honored guests in Wang Ya, they are definitely not something that our family can cling to - you have always been a great person. Sensible, but don't think blindly!"
"Mother, where are you thinking of?"
Xing Xiuyan shyly stomped her feet, seeing that her mother was still a little suspicious, so she had to tell the truth: "Actually, this General Sun is the Lord Sun who was often mentioned in Shuntian Fu's letter by Sister Miaoyu."
"You know, I have always felt that Sister Miaoyu should not entrust her life to the Buddha indiscriminately - and Sister Miaoyu has always been very determined, but in recent years, this Master Sun has been repeatedly mentioned. I think it must be fate!"
"Because of this relationship, my daughter wanted to see with her own eyes what Master Sun looks like and whether she is a good match for Sister Miaoyu."
But it turned out that the yard that Xing Zhong rented in Suzhou for a long time was the property of Miaoyu's family, and it happened to be near the nunnery where Miaoyu practiced.
Therefore, Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu have been neighbors for ten years, and the characters they recognize are all taught by Miaoyu, which is a friendship between teachers and friends. Therefore, when they hear that the person Miaoyu is thinking of has arrived, they can no longer calm down.
But after hearing what her daughter said was reasonable and well-founded, Mother Xing breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded with a smile: "If the two of them are really destined, you will be able to see it in the future. Pay attention to the difference between inside and outside, how can it be good…”
As soon as I said this, I heard shouts outside the yard like a frying pan:
"It's amazing, then General Sun is going to ask the case at our house!"
"Is it General Sun who is born with blood and eyes? Is he trying to judge people or ghosts this time?"
"Naturally, it's the trial of people, but you have to dare to see ghosts!"
"Let's go, let's go and see something rare!"
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, she couldn't hold back for a long time. She hurriedly told her mother that she was going to the front to see if her father was drunk, so she mixed in with the servants.
