Chapter 28
At the steamed stuffed bun stall by the roadside, a vendor was arguing with a frail young man. The latter was clearly at a disadvantage and was caught by the vendor a few times. Oily handprints clearly appeared on the plain sleeves with dark lines. .

The young man's face was blue, and he couldn't catch his breath when he spoke. He was obviously hungry: "I'll just stay here and wait for my boy to come and pay back the money before leaving. I won't renege on my debt."

Xu Jiatong gave Bi Shui a wink, and Bi Shui went over and pulled the vendor to the side, said a few words, and stuffed a handful of copper coins.The vendor weighed it down, and finally said a few words in a row, "It's easy to say."

"Fortunately, you met a kind-hearted man." The vendor gave the young man a hard look.

The young master thanked Bi Shui repeatedly, Bi Shui looked him up and down, and asked: "Dare to ask the young master Gao's surname?"

"My surname is Wang."

"That's the prince. Don't thank me. If you want to thank, thank my girl." Bi Shui looked at Xu Jiatong, but found that Xu Jiatong was no longer there. She invited a drink.

Bi Shui then helped the young man surnamed Wang over. Xu Jiatong had already ordered a bowl of millet porridge, a few plates of snacks, and a plate of sauced beef.She doesn't have much money on hand now, looking at the food on the table, her heart aches terribly.

Bi Shui went over and whispered a few words, telling her that the person in front of her was surnamed Wang, Xu Jiatong said politely: "Young Master Wang, please use it as you like."

"I...my name is Wang Yansheng." Wang Yansheng said vaguely while gobbling.

"Wang Yansheng..." Xu Jiatong dragged out her voice, she heard that the name was not from an ordinary person, but she couldn't figure out how unusual it was because of her shallow knowledge.

Wang Yansheng drank two mouthfuls of tea, the cups and plates in front of him were messed up, he blushed a little when he felt embarrassed: "I... I... I will return it to you when my servant comes."

Xu Jiatong smiled nonchalantly: "You don't look like you often go out and walk around alone. It's not a wise move not to go with the servants. I don't know if I can take the liberty to ask, but what happened on the road?"

Wang Yansheng bit the remaining piece of catecha cake and said: "I'm going on my way, leaving him to take care of some things later, I think he can catch up in a day or so. I don't know if something happened on the way, two days He didn’t come after that. I heard from people who just entered the city that someone saw him rushing over, so I guessed that he would arrive later.”

"If it wasn't for me just now, you really planned to watch at the steamed stuffed bun stand, and if your boy could only enter the city tomorrow morning, would you still plan to watch overnight?" Xu Jiatong stared at him.

This person is not bad looking, his facial features are not as handsome as Dai Yuanguan's, of course if Dai Yuanguan had no tuberculosis, but his bearing is extraordinary.There is a kind of gentle and elegant feeling, and the eyes are also very clean.Probably because he was well protected since he was a child, and he is a bit unearthly.

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words, so I naturally have to stay and wait. If he has an accident and can't come, I will... work there and pay off the debt." Wang Yansheng said affirmatively.

Xu Jiatong and Bi Shui couldn't help examining him from head to toe, and glanced at each other, obviously they didn't think that a person like him who obviously didn't touch the sun and spring water could work.

"Is the son's accent from the Western capital?" Xu Jiatong just felt that his accent was more similar to Dai Yuanguan's, although it wasn't particularly similar.

Wang Yansheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, I have been to Xidu many years ago."

"My lord came here alone, what's the matter? Maybe I can help." Xu Jiatong asked.

Wang Yansheng finally stopped talking, and asked politely: "Young lady is a local. I was just trying to find out if there are any men from Xidu recently, the kind who spend a lot of money? The health is not very good, and you have to sit when you go out. carriage."

Kunshan is not big, if a foreigner suddenly appeared, and his actions were very different from the locals, someone would always notice.Wang Yansheng entered the city gate and asked many people along the way. A little girl selling cotton candy at the street said that she seemed to have seen a gorgeous carriage passing by.

"I haven't seen it, but I can help you find out. Is there something important about you chasing you all the way?" Xu Jiatong pretended not to know.

If the guess is correct, the person Wang Yansheng is looking for is Dai Yuanguan.It didn't look like he was trying to get something out of her, but he asked so blatantly, maybe what he wanted to do.After all, Dai Yuanguan was the one who was going to cooperate with Jinxiufang now, and he was an enemy to her in a certain sense, so she couldn't reveal his whereabouts at will.

"It's for some family matters." Wang Yansheng looked a little embarrassed, obviously hiding something.

Xu Jiatong didn't ask any further questions, and said with a slight smile: "The young master is waiting for your servant here. If you need anything, you can go to Jinxiufang to find Master Duan, and ask her to help deliver a message to Xu's residence."

"Thank you, miss. When my boy arrives, I will definitely come to thank you." Wang Yansheng promised sincerely.

When I got back to the Xu family's ancestral house, it was just in time for dinner, so I inquired that Mrs. Li didn't let everyone gather together for dinner.Bi Shui asked Ah Xiang to go to the kitchen to get food, and helped Xu Jiatong change clothes.

"What's wrong with the girl looking at that prince?" Bi Shui asked.

Xu Jiatong said: "He is a pure person, but the person he is looking for, if I guess correctly, should be Master Dai. From the time, he should be chasing Master Dai. There must be something urgent, but I don't know what they are looking for. Do you know each other?"

"My servant feels that the prince is so pure-minded that he is a bit stupid. From the time I was born, this servant has never seen such a stupid person." Bi Shui said.

"That's right, his temperament is either inborn, or the people around him are too kind to him, or it's just pretending. But if it's pretending, this person's morality is too deep, I'd rather I would rather believe it is the first two." Xu Jiatong laughed.

Shuangxiu came in with a basin in her hands, helped Xu Jiatong clean her hands, and then thoughtfully opened the box of sweet honey for her: "When the girl went out, the fifth girl came and said that she went out after guarding the pavilion, and made appointments with ladies from various families. Eldest son, I have also arranged a seat for you."

"Success, I'll thank her tomorrow." Xu Jiatong smiled, and looked at her casually, "How long has Fifth Miss been here? Have you talked so much with you?"

"Just sat for a while." Shuangxiu took back the fragrant honey box, didn't stay any longer, and backed out.

Ah Xiang came in with the food, settled down, and blessed Xu Jiatong: "Girl, the dresses and servants are ready, on the third partition, you can see if it fits later. If it doesn't fit, The slaves will change it overnight." As he said that, he was about to step back.

"Wait, come and talk to me. The fifth girl suddenly invited so many ladies to have a banquet, so what's the point?" Xu Jiatong waved to her, and pointed to the low stool beside her to let her sit down.
