queen she is not doing business

Chapter 114

Just after dawn, Xiao Wang got up.

He basically didn't sleep all night.

Because his family was poor and had no money to buy horses, he hurried to Brother Wang's house, no matter what, he wanted to ask Sheng Fengxue.

He is a branch of the Wang family, and Brother Wang is a direct descendant of the Wang family. Although they all have the surname Wang, they live in very different places.

The two are on the same street, far apart.

Because Xiao Wang is a side branch, he is upright and unlovable, so he lives in a crumbling tile house.

Because Brother Wang is a direct descendant, he is tactful in dealing with people and is extremely good at pleasing others, so he lives in a big mansion.

Because he felt that Xiao Wang was too much a member of the Wang family, so he never allowed Xiao Wang to call him cousin in front of outsiders.

Xiao Wang lit the lantern and hurriedly walked to Brother Wang's house. After turning a few intersections, he saw a shivering woman lying on the ground.

This is the woman whose husband was beaten to death by the government during the day, her child was seriously ill, and she had to come out and sell herself.

Xiao Wang had already left, thinking not to cause trouble, he walked to the front and thought about it, then retreated.

The woman didn't make any money today, so she didn't have money to stay in the inn and could only hide in this small corner. Because it was too cold, she was already sick from the cold.

Xiao Wang leaned over and touched her forehead to make sure he was really sick, so he vigorously shook her awake.

The woman woke up ignorantly, and was startled when she saw Xiao Wang. Just when she was about to run away in fright, Xiao Wang said gently, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The woman looked at him tremblingly. She was afraid of being beaten during the day, but now she is very scared when she sees people, especially men.

But this person in front of him can't be called a man, he should be called a boy.

Judging by the clothes on his body, the family conditions must be very average.

"I think you seem to be sick. I know a doctor. Would you like to see her?" Xiao Wang said gently, fearing to frighten her.

Seeing a doctor naturally costs money. The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her purse. There were only a few copper coins and a few taels of silver in it.

Those few taels of silver were collected by selling pots and iron. I originally thought that a big place like Zhen'an would make more money, and then go back to see a doctor for the child. I didn't expect that not only did I not make any money, but I was also beaten.

"My mother-in-law doesn't charge for seeing a doctor," Xiao Wang comforted her, and he probably knew what she was thinking. "When you get well, you just need to help her pick herbs, dry them or help her with other things." Just be busy."

"Really?" the woman said happily.

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "What am I lying to you for? You can find out by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the direction of his home, and then said: "Go this way, and then you will see a few plane trees, then turn around and knock on a door, and there will be mother-in-law inside."

"But it's a bit too early for you to go now, mother-in-law usually gets up very late," Xiao Wang said, "If you really want to go, it's best to wait until the sun comes out in the morning, mother-in-law is not in good health, act not very convenient."

"My name is Ayu," the woman nodded, thanking Xiao Wang very much, "May I ask your son Gao's name?"

Xiao Wang waved his hand and said awkwardly, "I'm not a son, I'm just a handyman in the yamen."

Hearing the word "Yamen", Ayu screamed, which startled Xiao Wang.

"Why?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.

"Are you from the yamen?" Ayu said bitterly, "There is no one who is a good official!"

Xiao Wang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm not an official, I'm just a jailer, the kind who does odd jobs in the county government and can't do anything."

"Even if I become an official, I won't harm anyone." Xiao Wang continued.

"Really?" Ayu asked in disbelief, "You really won't harm people?"

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "I'm going to save people now, do you want to go with me?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ayu, thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to forget it, you are not in good health, you should stop walking around for now, go find your mother-in-law, she will come to open the door by herself .”

"A little problem, just sleep for a while." Ayu got up from the ground and said to Xiao Wang, "Since you asked my mother-in-law to help me, then I will help you. If there is anything you want to do, just Tell me to do it, and I will do it."

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "Help me go and see those two children. They should be very anxious if they don't get any news."

"Where is the child?" Ayu asked.

Xiao Wang told Ayu the place where Sheng Fengxue went, and drew a map on the ground for Ayu. Ayu said he remembered, Xiao Wang gave Ayu the lantern, and then continued to walk to Brother Wang's house.

The two parted ways and went in different directions.

The rooster had just crowed, and the members of Brother Wang's family hadn't gotten up yet. Xiao Wang knocked on the door anxiously, but no one answered. He could only squat in the corner of the wall, waiting until dawn, until someone opened the door and came out.

When he saw that it was his servant guarding the door, he was startled.

Because it was him, the servants ignored him, and the maid who came out with dirty water poured the water in front of him, then turned and went in.

"I'm here to find Brother Wang." Xiaoyu said to the maid.

The maid didn't turn her head back, and replied with a snort: "He hasn't gotten up yet, what's the matter with you looking for him so early! Can't you come back later? If you offend him, he will be angry, all of us It's not easy."

This girl is telling the truth.

Because of doing things for the master, Brother Wang knows a lot of things, so everyone in Zhen'an respects him, except for those with high status like Xi Lingling, most people will give him some face.

Xiao Wang knew what bad things his cousin was doing, but there was no evidence. Even if there was evidence, he would not dare to expose it, because he was too timid, and he still had his mother-in-law to support.

"Should he wake up soon?" Xiao Wang asked, "I'll go in and find him myself, so I won't trouble you, sister."

The servant girl left without looking back, so it was her acquiescence.

Xiao Wang sighed and walked to Brother Wang's yard.

Sure enough, there was silence in the yard, not even a single person, presumably Brother Wang didn't get up, so he walked over and knocked on Brother Wang's door.

Brother Wang was in a drowsy sleep, when he heard someone knocking on the door, he couldn't help shouting: "Who is outside, knocking on the door all the time, it's so annoying."

Xiao Wang continued to knock on the door persistently.

"Knock what, is the sky falling or who died?" Brother Wang turned over irritatedly, "Can't we wait until dawn to talk about something? It's so noisy, get out!"

Although Brother Wang is a junior of the Wang family, because he is favored in the yamen, even the elders of the Wang family will respect him.

"Cousin, it's me," Xiao Wang said in a low voice, "I came to ask you something."

Brother Wang couldn't hear correctly in the room, but he still heard Xiao Wang's voice. He didn't want to see him at all, so he shouted loudly: "Get out, you're disturbing my sleep, you know?"

"If you don't leave, be careful, I'll find someone to beat you." Brother Wang threatened.
