The unscrupulous elder sister

Chapter 171 News (2)
Mingrong walked around with Baocheng for a while and then felt a little tired. In fact, the key is that there are too many people. If you always get stuck in the crowd and smell the sweat when you go shopping, who will be interested?

Baocheng held her half in his arms, and led her into a teahouse, "Sit here and rest for a while."

The little brother over there has come over happily to say hello: "Master and Madam, please come inside. The small shop has all kinds of high-quality tea and delicious snacks. Let the Master and Madam choose."

Bao Cheng couldn't bear his noise, it was only because the second brother called Ming Rong "Ma'am", he smiled lightly, took out a broken silver with two fingers and interrupted the second brother, "There is a private room upstairs ?”

The little second brother's eyes lit up, he glanced over the broken silver, and then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, please, sir and madam."

On the second floor, Baocheng tossed the shattered money to the second brother, "Give me a pot of the best tea and some delicious snacks."

"Yes, it will be up right away, please sit down for a while, Master and Madam."

Baocheng took Ming Rong into the private room, and kissed her on the eyes, "But I'm tired, please sit down."

Ming Rong glared at him, "How can I get tired so easily, but I don't want to be in that crowd." She got up and stood by the window, looking at the crowded street downstairs.

"Grab money."

Ming Rong listened to the voice and took a closer look. Two people were chasing each other on the street. The one in front was a half-grown boy, holding a brown bag in his hand. After looking around.

The person in the back is a young scholar, wearing a blue robe, with fair skin, he looks like the type who doesn't exercise often, and the physical strength is exhausted after running like this. The big boy was thrown off.

"There are so many people on this street, so no one will help stop them?" Ming Rong was a little surprised.

Baocheng wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her, and whispered in her ear: "This is just a common thing, there is no one involved, not to mention, there may be someone behind the child, who would go to the house for someone he doesn't know?" Offend others?"

"Anyone behind you?"

"This Tianjin Wei is originally a chaotic place. People from all directions gather here, and the flow of money and goods is also large. It is inevitable that some people will be motivated by money, causing trouble, framing, and assassination. After a long time, the dead will die." With more people, there will be more orphans, so some people adopted these orphans, trained them to steal, and waited for their property to come to their door."

Ming Rong immediately understood. She didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the Qing Dynasty. She wanted to ask "why the government doesn't care about it", but after thinking about it, it's better to forget it. Asking this question is like asking officials for corruption and why the leaders don't care about it. Same, it's all a white question.

The scholar slowly merged into the crowd and disappeared. Suddenly a person was thrown out of the inn across the street, followed by a woman and a five or six-year-old girl.

I just heard the throwing shopkeeper pointing at them and yelling at them: "You told me to delay for two days, how many days has it been? You decoct medicine for your wife every day in my kitchen, and waste charcoal fire to occupy the stove. He said, my kitchen smelled like medicine, even on the dishes I served. How else would you ask me to do business? At the beginning, I came from the same village, so I could allow you a few days, but Now it’s no longer possible, so let’s go.”

"Asheng, Asheng, please allow me one more day, just one day, your sister-in-law is seriously ill and can't stand the cold wind, please allow me another day, I will find a place to go tomorrow, okay? "The man who was thrown out crawled to the side of the shopkeeper, hugged his leg and begged.

All the onlookers were pointing and discussing, "Isn't this the head of the Zhang family?"

"What is the head of the family, the Zhang family has already been defeated, and I haven't seen what it looks like now."

"I heard that you were cheated out of doing business?"

"I'm afraid he's just greedy. I heard from my sister-in-law. She begged the elder sister's cousin's sister-in-law's brother-in-law to persuade the family not to put all the money in at once. He didn't listen, but It’s not all lost, look at what’s happening now.”

"Tsk tsk, it's not because of greed."

"Huh? Didn't the Zhang family have two daughters? Why is there only one left now?"

"I heard that the older one had no money to repay the debt, so he was robbed by the creditor and became the eighth concubine, so it can be regarded as repaying the debt."

"Oh? But the Zhao family in the east, I heard that a few days ago, the eighth house was taken in, and the main wife made a lot of trouble at home, but they took care of the concubine."

"It's the Qian family, the wife of the Zhao family is a powerful one, and the family is not simple..."

This side has been crooked, and that side is still going on.

"Dahai, I'm also in business, you're messing around here like this, but you really want to end the old brotherhood with me?"

"Ah Sheng, just for one day, just for one day, let's go tomorrow, okay?"

The shopkeeper seemed to think about it for a while, "I can't accommodate you here for a day, but I have a way, if you agree, I will give you 50 taels of silver as a gift, so you can go back to the countryside and buy some land. "

That Zhang Hai's eyes lit up, "Sheng, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"You will definitely be able to do it." The shopkeeper, Ah Sheng, smiled cunningly and ferociously, "As long as you keep your little daughter, I will give you 50 taels. How about this method?"

Zhang Dahai was stunned when he heard that, and subconsciously looked at his daughter who was timidly snuggling up beside the unconscious lady, and then looked at the shopkeeper with some hesitation and some luck, "Ah Sheng, my daughter is still young, I will treat you as a daughter." The helper is not even high enough for the table."

The shopkeeper grinned, "Dahai, you clearly understand what I mean, you know my second son, he has been naughty all the time, I was thinking of finding a girl to take care of him, we happen to be from the same town, isn't this marriage a match made in heaven? "

Zhang Dahai blushed all of a sudden, and pointed at the shopkeeper angrily, "How can your son be worthy of my little girl? Even a fool would say that he is naughty. Pooh, don't even think about it!"

"Hum." The shopkeeper changed his face instantly, and kicked Zhang Dahai away, who was close at hand, with a grim expression, "I tell you, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine, you still owe me half a month's rent!" For the money, think about how to pay it back first, dare to scold my son, hmph, I'm going to order your daughter!"

The big sea immediately fell down, looking at the sickly wife, then at the ignorant daughter, grief came from it for a while, tears ran down the old and tired face, "Even if I die, I won't take my daughter away." Sell ​​it to you! You ungrateful thing, you took care of you so much when you were a child, but now you are making trouble!"

The shopkeeper smiled contemptuously: "So what, I begged you to take care of me when I was young? But you are begging me now, even if you are dead, you still owe me a debt!"
