Chapter 9
The woman clapped her hands, she didn't pay attention to Xue Yanrong at all, she bent down and looked at the little girl with grass on her head, grabbed the straw, raised her foot and rolled it hard a few times——
"Do you remember where home is?"
The little girl's throat was hoarse, and she couldn't speak, so she could only shake her head at herself——
"What about your parents?"
"died--"
The little girl struggled to make a sound.
"It's so pitiful—" The woman's eyes dimmed instantly, covered with a layer of obscurity, "But I can't take you back—"
After speaking, he straightened up again, and set his eyes on Xue Yanrong's face again——
like sizing up—
It's like observing——
All in all, not that comfortable.
"What are you looking at?"
Xue Yanrong thought that his unsmiling appearance would make her calm down, but what he didn't expect was that this person was a master who would not take his word for it.
"Are you a good person?"
The woman's eyes are wide open, and the pupils like black ink are clear and bright, with a kind of attachment unique to young people——
But Xue Yanrong just wanted to ask one question——
Where did she get the confidence?
"Why don't you speak?"
"what do you want me to say?"
"Just—are you a good person?"
"Is this something you can believe if I say it?" Xue Yanrong frowned coldly, "You must have already figured it out in your heart after asking this question. It doesn't matter if I say it or not."
The woman paused, probably feeling that she was a little rude just now, she pursed her thin lips lightly, her voice softened, and she explained——
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just think this child is very pitiful, but I can't take her back now, or I won't bother you."
As he spoke, he took another step closer, his round eyes blinked non-stop at this moment——
"I know you are a good person, otherwise you would have left long ago, and you wouldn't have stayed until now, right?"
"So, I'm a good guy—and then?"
"Well - you, you can take her back to the mansion to be a maid! The children of poor families are easy to support, and they don't have so many bad habits of being spoiled. At worst, you don't give her extra money. When she grows up, let her The nuns in the mansion teach some skills, and it will not be too late to give them back when the time comes."
Xue Yanrong took a deep breath——
"You're pretty good at arranging errands for me."
"Then—do you agree?"
There is a lot of sincere expectation in the woman's eyes, which makes people feel that there is no way to ignore it.
And Xu Yu held that human tooth's neck, and looked at Xue Yanrong——
"Second Master, why don't you leave her behind?"
Xue Yanrong looked down at the thin and small child in front of him, who was still shivering in the wind. He didn't know how many times he had been trafficked all the way to the capital. His immature face was haggard and sad, and there was nothing wrong with it. The innocence that children of seven or eight years old should have——
He couldn't help but think of Xue Yinyu, she was younger than this child at that time.
Sighing deeply, no one's heart is made of stone——
"Forget it, I just saved five taels of silver, and she looks pretty smart, so she might come in handy for serving tea and mending clothes."
"Are you agreeing?!"
Xue Yanrong looked at her, changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, nodded, and replied——
"Ah."
"I knew you were a good man! The best man!"
A bright smile spread across the woman's face in an instant, like a bouquet of crape myrtle flowers that bloomed early. The sun was shining brightly, adding a bit of brilliance to this severe winter day.
After finishing speaking, he took off the pendant on his ear and gave it to the little girl——
"This is for you. In the future, you will have a dowry and a place to go."
Xue Yanrong glanced at the white pearl earrings, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say much.
The little girl must have never been treated like this before, her eyes were filled with tears, she immediately knelt down and wanted to kowtow——
"Hey——don't hit me—" the woman pointed to Xue Yanrong, "knock him, and he will be your master from now on."
"Both of you are benefactors, I want to knock them off."
After the little girl made three loud noises, the woman helped the little girl up and touched her face pityingly.
It wasn't until this time that she revealed the reserved etiquette that a daughter's family should have, and bowed slightly to Xue Yanrong to express her gratitude——
"Good people are rewarded with good rewards, and the young master will live a long and prosperous life in the future."
Then he turned around and left with his maidservant.
"Master, who is she?" Xu Yu asked looking at the woman's back.
"The youngest daughter of an adult family." Xue Yanrong shook his head, "Let's go."
"Hey——" Xu Yu looked down at Ren Yazi who was pinned to the ground by him, "Master, what about this bastard?"
Xue Yanrong frowned——
"It's really asking for trouble."
He lowered his head and took out thirty Wen from his purse, and threw it into a beggar bowl on the side of the street——
pointing -
"You, go to the Yamen to report to the officials, and I will give you another thirty Wen when you come back."
The beggar looked at the copper coins in the broken bowl, and his eyes lit up immediately. He might not be able to ask for so much in a day, but now he can get sixty coins by running errands. Who would not do such a good thing!
Immediately, he picked up his broken bowl and got up from the ground, nodding and bowing, baring his big yellow teeth——
"Hey, let's go, little one!"
Immediately ran away without a trace.
When he came back, he was followed by two officials from the yamen——
"Look, there are people there! Still don't believe it? Believe it this time!"
Holding the bowl in his hand, the beggar ran over hastily, "Grandpa, the official sent me here for you."
Xue Yanrong poured the remaining thirty cents into his broken bowl, turned to look at the officer, and pointed to the people on the ground——
"This person is Ren Yazi, a child abductor, take him away."
"Human Yazi?" The leading official looked at Xue Yanrong suspiciously, "May I ask you?"
"Xue Manor, Xue Yanrong."
Although the officer had never met Xue Yanrong, he still knew the name of Xue Fu. Looking at his attire, it was not difficult to guess, and he immediately became respectful——
"It turned out to be the young master of the Xue family, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"No need—" Xue Yanrong nodded, and asked again: "Can we leave now?"
"It's alright, it's alright."
The leading officer waved his arm, drew his saber, and escorted the people on the ground——
"Take it with me!"
Only then did Xu Yu let go of his hand, and handed the man over to the officials. After the people from the yamen left, he stood still in place——
"What happened to you?"
"It's not me, sir—" Xu Yu pointed to the little girl beside him, "What should she do? Why can't she go with us?"
"Oh——I forgot." Xue Yanrong rubbed his fingers, looked at the child and asked, "Does Xue's residence in the capital know?"
The little girl nodded and said with a hoarse throat——
"I know, follow this road, go forward and turn three turns. I'm going to have dinner there."
"That's good—" Xue Yanrong tore off the Huanglong jade pendant from his body, and handed it over, "Take this, and knock on the door of the mansion, and say that Second Master Rong sent you here. If they don't believe you, just say Miss Yao, Let Miss Yao come and have a look, and I'm sure none of them will dare to stop you again."
After finishing speaking, he asked again——
"Do you understand?"
The little girl nodded again and again——
"I understand!"
Then, clutching the earrings in one hand and the jade pendant in the other, he quickly ran down the street——
Xue Yanrong looked at it, and now she didn't have a sullen face, and smiled a little——
"It's okay, it's a smart one."
After brushing off the sleeves of his clothes, he planned to continue walking in the direction of Benshantang, but when he looked up, he saw the figure not far away, and Xue Yanrong suddenly stopped in his tracks.
On the other hand, Xu Yu was still thinking about what happened just now. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xue Yanrong, who couldn't hold back his chatterbox, and asked aloud——
"Second Master, you said that the girl just now is really amazing. She not only knows that the man is human, but also can tell from his movements that he is going to run away. Rao, I, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, can't do that at all." Didn't see it."
"That's you, that man is not a good person just now." Xue Yanrong frowned.
"Ah? I'm the only one who didn't see it?" Xu Yu pursed her lips, but after a while, she poked her head again, "Master, do you think she is a Han girl?"
"Why did you ask so?"
"I just think she's a bit bolder, right? Ordinary Han girls, how can they be like this? Arguing with men in the street? She's not afraid of losing money."
Xue Yanrong's eyes paused slightly, and the image of her pulling her sleeves and saying that she couldn't give money flashed through her mind just now——
"It is indeed a bit more courageous."
"So, I guess she's not Han—" Xu Yu scratched her forehead, "Maybe she's a Mongolian girl!"
"impossible."
"Why?"
Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows——
"Have you ever seen a Mongolian girl that short?"
"Oh—that's right." Xu Yu thought for a while, the woman's head seemed to have reached their father's shoulders, and then a new thought popped up, "Could it be the young lady of some grown-up family? There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, they may seem ordinary, but when they are about to investigate, they may be some very famous people."
"That's impossible——" Xue Yanrong shook his head, "If she is a young lady from a big family, she must have a follower. How can she only have a little maid by her side? Besides, look at her clothes and accessories. I have never seen such a shabby big lady..."
"It's not Mongolian or Miss Dahu, so who is she?"
"Hiss—" Seeing Xu Yu's serious thinking, Xue Yanrong immediately frowned, "You don't care who she is, she may not be able to see her again in the future, why worry, she is from a foreign country It has nothing to do with you."
"From Fanbang?" Xu Yu shook his head like a rattle. "That's even more impossible. I've seen a girl from Fanbang. She has a big nose, blue eyes, and curly hair. She's not the same as others—"
"Are you finished?! Open your mouth and shut up, girl, girl, what? Do you still want Shi Chu to clean you up?"
"Hey - I, I'm just curious, you, you must not tell Shi Chu -" Xu Yu held his sleeves and muttered: "She just got angry with me."
"Just be afraid if you know it."
Xue Yanrong put his hands behind his back, but there was a troubled look on his brows and eyes. He turned around and just lifted his feet, but then suddenly retracted them, repeating several times——
Seeing her so restless, Xu Yu felt a little strange——
"Grandpa, what's the matter with you?"
"I--"
Xue Yanrong frowned, it was rare for him to be so uncertain——
"Do you think that girl is a good person?"
"It goes without saying, of course it is!"
"That--"
Xue Yanrong raised his hand and pointed to the front not far away, Xu Yu followed along, his eyes widened immediately——
"Isn't that the girl just now? I think she's gone, she's still here."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Yanrong again and smiled——
"Grandfather, you just mentioned my girl's name, it's good for you—you can find out where the person is."
Xue Yanrong didn't mean to joke with him, her eyes sank slightly——
"You go and follow."
Xu Yu's smile was still on his face, and he froze immediately——
"what?"
He opened his mouth wide, thinking that his ears had misheard.
"Ah what, let you follow, don't you understand?"
Xue Yanrong said it again, and Xu Yu was sure that he heard it right, but his feet didn't move, and he looked like you were talking nonsense.
"Grandfather, the girl just asked if you are a good person, why not—"
"What are you talking nonsense about?!" Xue Yanrong stared, "I'm afraid something will happen to her!"
"What happened? What happened?!"
Xu Yu was confused.
Only then did Xue Yanrong say out loud——
"Do you know that such a person never appears alone, and there must be accomplices around. The reason why I was willing to pay the money just now is because of this. Then go to the government to record the portraits, and when the time comes, they can be thrown out of the pot, who knows that they will meet her to force them out."
"Then why didn't his accomplice show up just now?"
"It is estimated that there are not many people. We were there just now, and there are so many pedestrians on the road, and this is just one street away from the Yamen. Whenever there is any movement, the officials patrolling the street will come. Besides, your skills are so good. , put that person on the ground, unable to move, and they are not stupid, so naturally they will not show up, but if we are left alone, it will be hard to say."
"So, isn't that girl very dangerous—"
"That's why I asked you if she is a good person."
"Oh! My lord! You can really turn around!"
But just as Xu Yu was about to chase the girl, he encountered another difficulty. Looking at Xue Yanrong, he wrinkled his face——
"Second Master, then I'm going, what should you do?"
Xue Yanrong's face was calm——
"Don't worry, then Liu Dazi won't be able to eat me."
After speaking, he pointed to the figure not far away——
"Go quickly, don't disturb them, just follow behind, pay more attention to the left and right, if there is nothing wrong, you can go back to the house directly after seeing off people."
"Understood, don't worry!"
Xue Yanrong looked at the beautiful figure not far away, and hooked the corner of his mouth——
A Mongolian girl or a girl from a foreign nationality is obviously a Han woman, who knows where such courage comes from, it is really in the capital, and there are everyone.
He waved his hands and shook his head——
Forget it, you let me save money, and I'll take you home, and I don't owe you anything.
Then he put his hands behind his back and strode away.
