The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 24 Do something for me

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing that I was silent, Rong Ziyang shook his hands in front of my eyes twice.

I came back to my senses and said, "It's okay, I just remembered something, and my mind was a little distracted."

Rong Ziyang asked a little excitedly, "Hey, has this Mo Que been at your house all this time? Mr. Su is so willing to let you take this precious thing with you! If it were my old man, he wouldn't be so generous!"

The origin of this Mo Que is unknown, so I didn't dare to say anything, so I made nonsense, "Are you kidding, the old man gave this to me, it was bought in Xishi."

"What? You bought it in West Market?" Rong Ziyang was taken aback.

I said, "Yes, I bought it near there the day I met you. At that time, I only thought it was small and exquisite, and there were so many precious stones. Although it was a bit more expensive, I still bought it from a vendor for 800 taels."

"As for the Mo Que you mentioned, I do look a bit like it, but it's definitely not the real Mo Que. That sword has disappeared for hundreds of years, and it's not like many people haven't found it."

"Although this knife is sharp, how can it be priceless if it can appear in the West Market? It is obviously a fake."

Rong Ziyang nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's true, but this dagger is too similar, and it would take a lot of effort to make a fake like this.!"

Then his expression brightened, and he approached and said, "Hey, I'm a girl from the Su family. I think this thing is very delicate. I don't care if it's true or not. It's good to carry with you. You bought it for 800 taels, and I'll give you 900 taels. Sell ​​it to me, how about you buy another one?"

I was shocked, but I still said calmly, "Since you like it, it's okay to sell it to you. However, this has already been used, and it's inconvenient to give away girls' things. Why don't you go to West Market in a few days and see It’s for sale, I’ll buy you a new one, what do you think?”

Rong Ziyang nodded happily this time and said, "Alright, that's it, don't forget."

I smiled slightly, "Of course not, if I meet someone who sells it, I will definitely buy it for you."

After finishing speaking, I handed the dagger to Ji Yunchang, "Didn't you say you want a blade? Here it is."

Ji Yunchang's eyes seemed to move, but he didn't pick up the dagger. He glanced at the Linglong crossbow in his hand and said, "It's getting late today, and it takes some time to repair the crossbow. I won't repair it today. I'll take it back to my mansion and open it later." Bar."

It was almost the time of application, and it was indeed a bit late. After tossing around all afternoon, I was also hungry, so I nodded and said yes.

Ji Yunchang was already in good health, I put my hair on one side, tidied up my clothes, then left the hall with him and went back to our respective residences.

Back in the small courtyard, Lu Zhu had already boiled the warming and tonic decoction. After eating, the decoction was just warm and cold.

The medicine this time is more expensive than last time, it is full of antler ginseng slices, the taste is extremely bitter, after three times of rinsing the mouth, there is still a bitter taste, Luzhu can't help complaining, it shouldn't be sharing all the candied fruit.

"Miss, throw away a hair bead." Lu Zhu removed the remaining ornaments from my hair and said softly.

I hummed, I guess I lost it when I flew out at the racecourse, but I couldn't find it, so I asked her to put the hair beads away, thinking about adding another one later.

After washing up and reading a book again, I felt sleepy, so I turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the next two days, the little overlord was probably thinking about asking me to buy a dagger, but he didn't make things difficult for me. For two consecutive days of chess class, I was tied with the fat student.

The master thought it was interesting, so he watched the chess from the sidelines, and the other students came to watch the chess later. In the end, the chess class turned out to be played by two of us. It was interesting for everyone to watch.

On the sixth day of August, it was the day when the Qinglan Pavilion was repaired and released.

As usual, the butler was still waiting for me and Su Qingxue at the door. After we returned to the Su Mansion, the two of us were going to pay Su Huo a present, but we were told that Su Huo had taken orders to go to the frontier three days ago. It took about half a year to come back.

The general is not here, so I will naturally go to pay my respects to the mistress.When Wu Wanhua saw that I was not enthusiastic, Su Qingxue was naturally even more arrogant when she came to her yard.I was too lazy to pay attention to it, and went back to the yard after saluting.

The maidservant had prepared hot water earlier, so I washed up and slept until noon, then changed into men's clothes and went out through the back door.

I came to the Yinhong Tower by the way, it was no longer like yesterday, it was the peony dancing time, the building was full of fire, the hall was surrounded by people, everyone shouted excitedly.

I used silver and went upstairs to see Hongye, her complexion was better than before.

I asked "how is it going?"

She replied, "Young master, listen to the young master's instructions, and only sing one song a day. Recently, it has attracted the attention of many noble young masters. Although it is not as popular as Miss Peony, it is indeed more popular."

I nodded, it was pretty much what I expected.Then he asked again, "How is your relationship with the sisters in the building?"

She replied, "I'm not happy. Most of the sisters in the building have twists and turns, and they don't want to make friends with each other. There is only one girl in the backyard kitchen who is good with me. They can develop better in the future."

I nodded and told her to keep everything as usual, it will be August [-]th soon, just wait quietly.

Then I took out the line drawing I had drawn in advance and handed it to her, "You said you were close to the girl in the backyard, and you just asked her to do something. This person will pay attention to me. If you find her whereabouts, pay more attention."

"Yes, young master." Hongye replied, opened the paper, read it carefully, and stuffed it into her sleeve.

After sitting with a cup of tea, I got up and left.

It was still early to leave Yinhonglou, thinking of the steamed fish in the restaurant last time, I couldn't help feeling greedy, and strode forward.

Crispy duck, steamed fish, hibiscus shrimp, and a pot of sparrow tongue at the end, it would be a good thing if life can always be easy.

After sitting and watching the scenery for a while, it was almost late, so we walked back slowly with Luzhu.When I walked to an alley, I faintly felt something was wrong.So he gave the green pearl a color, staggered the way, and walked to another alley.

Walking out of two corners, I dodged, grabbed Lu Zhu and hid in a recessed wall, and after a while, I heard footsteps, and a man followed up stealthily.

I popped out the dagger, dodged my feet, stepped on my feet and quickly pressed the dagger against his neck, and said coldly, "Say, who are you? Why are you following me?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Grandfather, is it really you?"

benefactor?

He didn't care about the knife on his neck, his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop, "Grandpa, it's me!"

I was even more dazed. I took a half step back and looked carefully. This man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were very clean, but I had no impression of him at all.

He was a little anxious, and said, "Engong, I'm Li Jiu! That day, Engong gave the money to Li Jiu."

Oh, it was him!

His face was bloodstained that day, and his face was full of injuries. I hardly noticed his appearance.Now that he has changed into a set of clean clothes, most of the injuries on his face have disappeared, and he is still considered a refreshing young man.

"Engong, do you remember?" The boy was a little anxious, "I will kneel in the West Market someday, not far away, don't you really remember?"

"I remember." I nodded.

He immediately gave me a happy nod, and said, "Thanks to benefactor's money that day, I went to West Street to buy a coffin, paper money shroud and burial horse, and buried my father on the back mountain."

"Well, that's good." I replied, thinking of the rumors about his rambunctious nature, I didn't put away the dagger.

He looked at the knife, and then said, "I was sad that day, and I left in a hurry, and I didn't even ask your benefactor's name, so these days, Li Jiu waited in the market every day, hoping to find him. Unexpectedly, benefactor changed his clothes , Li Jiu didn't dare to recognize people casually, so he followed benefactor."

I frowned and asked him, "Are you waiting on the street every day these few days?"

Li Jiu said with a smile, "Back to Engong, it is true that I waited on the street every day, and finally found Engong."

Thinking of the person who told me not to give him money, otherwise I would stick to the words that I couldn’t get rid of. I was a little annoyed, so I asked him, “Didn’t I say that I don’t need you as a slave? What are you waiting for me?”

Li Jiu was taken aback, and said, "I left in a hurry that day and neither asked Engong's name nor thanked Engong. Li Jiuxi was waiting here, so naturally he wanted to thank Engong."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and knelt down, kowtowed upright and said, "Li Jiu, thank you for your great kindness, please accept Li Jiu's kneeling."

My irritability became even stronger, and when he finished kowtowing, I suppressed my temper and said, "I kowtow too, thank you for your kindness, you can go."

Li Jiu didn't get up, but said, "Since Li Jiu has received money from benefactor, he will be benefactor's slave from now on. From now on, the master is the most respected and the master is the most important. Where benefactor is, Li Jiu will be there." .” After paying the tax, he kowtowed again.How sincere and sincere must that look be.

"Young master, what should I do?" Lu Zhu gently pulled me.

I understand what he means, the general's mansion has strict rules, and the servants are all staffed, so it is impossible to enter at will.And even if he could be brought in, given his previous conduct, he would definitely not be able to take him in.

Besides, I can't bring him into the mansion at all.

On that day, he was only given silver taels by touching the scene.It was already made clear at the time that there was no need to repay it, nor did he need to be grateful.

I sighed and said, "There is no shortage of slaves in my family, and you don't have to respect me and take me first. Go find a job and live a good life."

After speaking, I will leave.He was silent for a while at the back, then suddenly shouted, "Gong Gong, you care about Li Jiu's previous ignorance, and look down on Li Jiu.".
I didn't turn my head, and he shouted again, "Grandfather, I've made up my mind to start a new life, why do you still look at me like this! Li Jiu was really confused before, he made his mother die of anger, and caused his father to fall into the river and die.

In those few days when he kowtowed to bury his father in the street, no one offered a helping hand for three days. At that time, Li Jiu thought, if someone could help Li Jiu pass this test, he would be a new man from now on.Benedict, why don't you give Li Jiu a chance to change his ways! "

As he spoke, he actually cried.

I suddenly felt a little moved.Turning around to look, he was also very thin, kneeling and crying in the alley, unexpectedly he was a bit pitiful.

Although I don't know if the prodigal son turns back, it is true that money is not exchanged.But if a person wants to change his ways, it is always good.

With a thought in my mind, I walked over slowly, "Li Jiu, you said that you want to respect me and be a slave from now on, right? Well then, you can do something for me."
