Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 42

Ran Feize is a broad-minded person in Su Xiaopei's heart.

This magnanimity lies not only in his willingness to help others, and his ability to tolerate the difficulties of the world, but also because he has a wide range of knowledge, and he can see strange people and strange things without making a fuss.

But now, Mr. Ran Feize's heart is really a little too wide, and he dared to tease her. He is sure that this weird woman like her won't pester him to make an agreement of "if you dare to tease me, you have to take responsibility" according to the etiquette teaching?

If her heart is as "broad" as his, she should also use this matter to frighten him, but it's a pity that she is too lazy.

In fact, Su Xiaopei felt that Ran Feize was being mischievous as a tease, and it would be too stupid to be serious with him.As if she couldn't scare him with any strange things, she felt quite comfortable in whatever he did.

She and Ran Feize got along quite comfortably.

But living comfortably depends on material conditions. Speaking of this, Su Xiaopei is a little proud. She has earned the first sum of money after crossing. She still can't help being happy every time she thinks about it.

Su Xiaopei has the necessities she needs to buy, um, about women's personal items - waterproof oiled paper, soft thin cloth, and cotton.

She inquired with Ran Feize, and they were all sold in Ning'an City.Ran Feize thought she wanted to wear thick cotton-padded clothes, so he told her that even if she went further north, the days would get warmer and warmer in the future. urgent.And what the oil paper is going to do, he didn't expect it, pack some meals?

Su Xiaopei said no, let him leave it alone.

So Ran Feize didn't care about asking, just lead the way.He took Su Xiaopei to the street market to buy what she wanted.

Su Xiaopei didn't like the inn very much. Given her experience in the inn, she felt uneasy about keeping her belongings there.So she asked Ran Feize to get her a small backpack, which she slung across her body, put all the money in, and carried it around her waist.The loose outer clothes are one block, bulging.

"Isn't it heavy?" Ran Feize had nothing to say when he saw her indecent attire.

"A little bit." Although Su Xiaopei also felt that this was awkward, but this place is no more modern, there is no bank card, no...

"Ah?!" She suddenly thought, there must be a bank or something to save money here, right?But can you rest assured after depositing the money?Does it support remote access?The bank in this place is a private enterprise, right?
"girl."

Su Xiaopei was frowning and thinking, but before he could ask, Ran Feize spoke.

Su Xiaopei looked up at him.

"Sometimes the girl is amazingly smart, but sometimes she is so clumsy that it makes people worry."

Su Xiaopei loses face, strong man, it's heartbreaking for you to judge people face to face.

In the end, I went to the bank with anxiety and anxiety, but instead of saving money, I went to exchange bank notes.Along the way, Ran Feize also educated Su Xiaopei, and told her the ways of the bank, which names are reliable, have many shops, and which names deceive customers, so don't deal with them.Not all the bankers are honest and honest. Usually, there is a procedure for exchanging money, so pay attention to their actions and so on.

Ran Feize also told Su Xiaopei that what they are now taking is official silver, which is sufficient in quantity and is very popular for business transactions, but some silver taels in the market do not have official seals on them, or broken silver does not have official seals, those who do not know the way It is easy to be deceived.When Ran Feize said these things, the way he looked at Su Xiaopei let her know that she must be among the easily deceived people he mentioned.

Su Xiaopei doesn't mind, although she can read people's faces and understand some subtle expressions and reactions, but here, she is indeed a fool in life, and she accepts Ran Feize's contempt for her.So she humbly asked for advice on how to distinguish real gold from real silver from real copper plates, how to distinguish bank notes, how to exchange money in different places and how to use it for consumption and shopping, etc. She estimated that it should be quite difficult.After all, she was not very good at managing money in modern times, not to mention that there were quite a lot of ways in this ancient world.She had no memory of how many ancient coins Jiaozi she had taught in the history class, and returned them all to the teacher just like the classical Chinese class.

Ran Feize stopped talking after talking about it, but seeing Su Xiaopei's expression, he knew that talking too much would be a waste of time.He accompanied Su Xiaopei to change the silver into light silver bills, a small amount of scrap silver and copper plates, and exchanged all his own share.After that, Su Xiaopei went shopping with confidence.

After walking a few streets and visiting several stores, I bought all the things she wanted, and bought a lot of underwear, which made the lady proprietress of the women's clothing store keep looking at her.

After Su Xiaopei returned to the inn, she took the needle and thread to make the menstrual sanitary pants she needed. Although the needlework was not good, she could still sew these together.Ugly is ugly, as long as it can be used.The work was done in one night.By such a coincidence, my aunt came to visit the next day.

Su Xiaopei feels that God still treats her kindly, even though she is thrown in this kind of place, she always manages to save herself from danger.

Su Xiaopei made a lot of calculations. He had the toiletries, the aunt's towel, and the way of living, but these were all consumables, especially the aunt's towel. It's not easy to take apart, and the pants are not easy to wash here, so she has no choice but to use them as disposable pants.But counting and calculating, she spent nearly three taels of silver a month.

She had asked, three taels of silver was the monthly income of an ordinary family, and her spending like this was really a lot.

But she can make do with food, clothing and housing, and she still hopes to use better sanitary products. At least, she must guarantee the life of her aunt for a few days.A woman can't treat her aunt badly if she treats anyone badly. Su Xiaopei was a little bit melancholy about her inevitable "prodigal" behavior after all the calculations.

On this day, Ma Zhengyuan was finally escorted to Ning'an City.Mr. Fu Yin and Qin Tutou attached great importance to it, and immediately put him in prison for interrogation.Su Xiaopei also finally saw this serial criminal who caused a lot of trouble in the city.But this Ma Zhengyuan is very resistant to talking, and even more contemptuous of women, he is not willing to talk at all, and Su Xiaopei has no chance to talk to him.What's more, her act of approaching the criminal who committed the crime of rape and murder attracted the attention of many yamen servants.

This is a man's world, and the Yamen is also a man's territory.Even if the arrest of the criminal depends on her inference, but these are not important in the hearts of the yamen servants. In their eyes, she is a woman, a strange woman.It is extremely disgraceful for a woman to approach the criminal on her own initiative, and to ask the criminal to talk about her concerns.

This made Su Xiaopei a little unhappy, especially when she saw the dirty yamen guard who watched the prison secretly look after her with disdainful eyes, she was even more annoyed.These people put on airs in front of others, but they don't look good to her behind them.

Su Xiaopei asked Ran Feize: "It is said that the sons and daughters of the world are informal, why can't I? If the one who came today was a heroine, would they look down on them like this?"

"Probably not."

"Why?"

"The heroine has a sword in her hand."

Su Xiaopei fell silent.Well, she gets it.

Regardless of small details or something, it really depends on "skills" to speak.

Speaking of which, looking back, Butou Gu caught Ma Zhengyuan in Jicheng, made great contributions, and was full of energy and joy.He recounted the experience of arresting Ma Zhengyuan again and again, very proud of it.One time when he saw Su Xiaopei present, he even gave Su Xiaopei a top hat in a meaningful way, saying that what Su Xiaopei said before leaving really worked.

Don't be afraid of him, you can save your life.

Gu Butou said, Ma Zhengyuan was very cunning and hid patiently, and sneaked into the nunnery while a small catcher was negligent.Hou Gu Butou sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly led people in.Before they arrived, Ma Zhengyuan had dragged Ma Yao into the meditation room to commit murder.But until the police found his whereabouts and waited for an opportunity to rush in, Ma Zhengyuan did not kill Ma Yao yet.

He beat her and yelled at her: "Why are you not afraid of me, why?!"

The policemen rushed in, Ma Zhengyuan strangled Ma Yao's neck, the dagger was right in front of her belly, but he didn't kill her in the end, he only asked: "Why?"

Gu Butou said: "It's thanks to me and her telling her not to be afraid of him, otherwise when we arrive, I'm afraid it's also for collecting the body."

Su Xiaopei couldn't help correcting: "It's not because I told her not to be afraid, so she won't be afraid. Although I said this in advance, how can I control fear. She is not afraid, it is she who is really not afraid. Maybe she strengthened her mind in Buddhism, maybe she saw through Ma Zhengyuan's mind before she escaped into Buddhism, she can't pretend that she is not afraid of him."

After Su Xiaopei said this, the people around were a little embarrassed, Ran Feize coughed and said nothing, but Gu Butou's expression was a little ugly.

She also gave the instructions, and it was she who said the instructions were useless, and when picking Gu Butou to publicize his credit, she said, isn't this demolishing others?
It took Su Xiaopei a few beats to react to the expressions on everyone's faces, and he felt melancholy again.She just subconsciously told the truth.Instructions must be ordered, but in fact, how many ordinary people can pretend to be convincingly not afraid when facing a knife and fist?What had to be done had to be done, but she also wanted to tell them what had happened.Only by knowing the facts can we make progress.

Su Xiaopei felt the pressure to integrate into the organization.

Leaving aside Qin Butou, these little Butou and fast catchers below felt that Bai Yulang regarded her as one of his own, and the others were quite alienated.

Su Xiaopei let out a sigh of relief, and didn't intend to get entangled in these things.Anyway, she is hanging out with Ran Zhuangshi, he can understand what she means, and understand her intentions, that's good.

The Sima family's case and Ma Zhengyuan's case are now settled.Ran Feize was going to pack his luggage and continue his journey, so of course Su Xiaopei wanted to follow.Ran Feize decided to go to Pingzhou City next stop, and the two of them sat together to discuss the needs of the journey. Su Xiaopei did the calculations carefully, made another list, and then followed Ran Feize to the market to buy.

Ran Feize's first stop was to go to a grocery store. Opposite the grocery store was the women's clothing store that Su Xiaopei wanted to go to. Ran Feize bought what he needed, while Su Xiaopei went to the store across the street.

Su Xiaopei looked down at her list while walking.She needs a lot of things. She needs to buy her own water bladder, two more clothes, blankets, and her personal items.She planned to buy more materials for aunt's towels, and made a spare in advance, what if she couldn't buy them when she went back to a small place.She is also going to buy a bigger luggage bag, as well as toiletries.By the way, I have to prepare another pair of shoes, she actually forgot to write this.

While looking at the list, Su Xiaopei was thinking about what else was missing. He didn't pay attention to the way, and accidentally bumped into someone.Su Xiaopei hurriedly bowed her head to apologize, but the man didn't blame her and left quickly.

Su Xiaopei went into the shop, looked for the things she wanted according to the list, took them one by one and put them on the counter, then touched her waist pocket to get money, but she was startled when she touched it, her money bag It's gone!
Her bills, scraps, and coppers are all gone!

This was a bolt from the blue, Su Xiaopei turned pale on the spot.She touched it again carefully, and looked around again, but of course she couldn't find it.Su Xiaopei didn't care about the shopkeeper looking at her in surprise, and rushed into the opposite grocery store, grabbing Ran Feize's sleeve.

Her pale face frightened Ran Feize, and hurriedly dragged her outside the shop to ask her what was the matter.

Su Xiaopei opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say: "Strong man, my money is gone."

Ran Feize remained calm and asked her to talk slowly about what was going on.Su Xiaopei was flustered, and recalled how he went from here to the opposite shop, and after talking about it, he came to his senses, and sure enough, Ran Feize also said: "The person the girl bumped into must be a thief."

Su Xiaopei raised his eyes and looked left and right in the street, where could he see the sneaky figure?

"Miss, do you remember what he looks like?"

Su Xiaopei shook his head.

"What kind of clothes is he wearing? What color?"

Su Xiaopei shook his head again.She had her head down, completely oblivious.

Ran Feize comforted her, and led her to ask questions in and around the shop, but no one noticed that someone bumped into this girl just now.

When everyone looked at Su Xiaopei, their eyes were still a little surprised, and there was a clear meaning in the eyes of "the one with short hair, presumably she is a vulgar aunt".Su Xiaopei was in a very bad mood, she would not have noticed it normally, but today she lost money and was looked at like this, her heart fell to the bottom, the loss was to the extreme, and she felt like crying.

Ran Feize didn't have any magical method to help Su Xiaopei get back those silver treasures. I don't know where to find a thief who is tall, short, fat, and thin, and can't even see the corner of his clothes.
Su Xiaopei's sad appearance made Ran Feize not in the mood to buy any more, so he led her back to the inn.

"Girl, don't worry, the day of fifteen copper coins has passed, and you are still worried about the day of twenty-five taels?" He hasn't spent the money he has been allocated yet, implying that he will not leave her alone.

Su Xiaopei was grateful, but still very sad.Whoever loses all his property in such a blink of an eye will not be able to look chic.

Ran Feize was about to say a few more words, when there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Bai Yulang entered the room in a frivolous manner, and shouted as soon as he entered the room: "Uncle Ran, Master Qin wants to see Eldest Sister." Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Xiaopei out of the corner of his eye: "Hey, Eldest Sister is here so .”

Master Qin wanted to see her, what did he come to Ran Feize to report?Su Xiaopei was really powerless, but at this moment he was in a bad mood and didn't have the energy to dislike him.

"Okay, don't cry, your lord must have another case, we will ask him for another fortune, girl, don't feel sad."

Ran Feize's words made Bai Yulang stare aside, and blatantly said in front of the police that he wanted to ask for money from the chief of the police, uncle, is this appropriate?

It's a pity that his expression didn't catch my uncle and sister's attention.

Qin Tutou really wanted to give money to Su Xiaopei, but there was no case.

"Master Fuyin appreciates Miss Su's ability very much. Ning'an Prefecture is a big city, and it also governs several surrounding areas. If you say that there are not many crimes, and there are not many crimes, your lord is busy every day, so you need to People like the girl help each other. Your Excellency intends to invite the girl to stay in this city and take up a civil position, just like this case, to give advice and point out the way."

Su Xiaopei was a little taken aback, and turned to look at Ran Feize.

Qin Butou said again: "There is an empty house behind this yamen mansion. It is not big, but it is neat and clean. There are two rooms, enough for a girl to live in. There will be a lady to take care of her living expenses. Every month Give the girl five taels of silver per month, which is already the monthly money of a master. What do you want, girl?"

Su Xiaopei was even more surprised. He paid her a salary every month, gave her a house to live in, and sent a nanny to take care of her?
This is a good thing, right?She turned her head to look at Ran Feize again.

Ran Feize didn't show much expression, he just frowned and thought.

At this time, Qin Butou said again: "I also heard that the girl is looking for someone. Our family members don't have much ability, but we often do things like catching thieves and looking for people. Who the girl wants to look for depends on physical characteristics." Let me be clear about my identity, I asked the master to write an official letter and send it to various places, and once there is news, I can tell the girl, which is better than the girl wandering around to inquire."

This temptation is more reliable than anything else.

Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize again.

This time Ran Feize also looked back at her, Su Xiaopei's heart was active, even a little excited, she looked at Ran Feize full of expectation, but Ran Feize just smiled at her.

What does this smile mean?

Su Xiaopei turned his head, and said to Qin Tutou, "Can I discuss it with the strong man before returning to my lord?"
