Chapter 217

The peddler thought for a while, then said with a stiff neck, "Then...then you are still pouring hot porridge on me, you are hurting me on purpose!"

Rong Lanxue had already regained her breath at this time. Hearing what the peddler said, "hehe" smiled and said, "Brother, you are going to rob our sister. You are the first to kill, and our sister is behind the guards. Do you think that the county government is going to kill you?" It was opened by your family, so you mean what you say!"

The peddler was at a loss for words, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his face, and immediately said "Ouch", he pulled Rong Lanxue's arm but was unwilling to let go, Rong Lanxue approached him, and saw some blisters on his face , took a soft breath and said: "Brother, let's not hide it from you, we are from this palace, so how about it, since everything started because of this candied haws. We will not sue you for murder and robbery, you follow Let's go to the mansion, I ordered my servants to bring you some ointment for burns, and pay you another ten taels of silver, do you think it will work?"

The peddler hesitated for a moment, looked at Rong Lanxue, and then at Zong Ruyun, who had an angry face, Zong Ruyue made a face at him, he thought for a while and said, "Hearing you say that, it's a sensible person." Man, it's just that if you enter the mansion and find those young men to beat me up, wouldn't I have nothing to say when the time comes. Your big family will always bully the poor."

Zong Ruyun said angrily: "My sister-in-law said that, you still have doubts, beat you, you still need those little servants, believe it or not, I will pour you two more bowls of lotus seed porridge!"

"Hmph, I dare to splash you!" Zong Ruyue said arrogantly with her mouth pouted.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of the three aunts too, this eldest sister, are you really going to pay me money?"

"Really, how could I beg you for your money? We are here to delay your business. If you say it well, we are not the kind of unreasonable people." Rong Lanxue said softly He raised his hand and said: "Now you can let go, if the boys see you pulling me like this, and hit you then, I won't ask!"

"Yes, yes." The peddler quickly let go of his hands, took a step back, but not too far away, followed Rong Lanxue, and walked towards the Zongfu tremblingly.

At the gate of the Zongfu, Uncle Zhao, the gatekeeper, looked at these four people from a distance, always wondering if it was the young mistress and the Zong sisters, but his old eyes were too dim to see clearly, so he immediately called a boy named Xiaobai to come over and let them Look, Xiaobai stood there, slapped his thigh, and said in surprise: "Oh, my Uncle Zhao, you can't recognize our young mistress, isn't that the young mistress, fifth miss, and ninth miss.

Uncle Zhao thought to himself: "I just left the mansion and said that I want to send Miss Fifth and Miss Nine back to the mansion, why did they come back?" Called: "Young Mistress, what's wrong with you, why are you back?"

The peddler saw the old man in a dark blue coat rushing over to salute the eldest sister in front of him, and called her "Young Mistress", his legs were already shaking with fright.

Rong Lanxue smiled "hehe" and ordered: "Uncle Zhao, you ask the boys to prepare two sedan chairs, and we will go there in the sedan chairs. In addition, you tell the boys to bring the bottle of good burn ointment from our pharmacy, and hand it over to me." Give this big brother, Uncle Zhao, do you have ten taels of silver now?"

After listening to Rong Lanxue's words, Uncle Zhao agreed repeatedly, and at the end, he quickly took out his pocket and said, "Yes, yes." While taking out the silver in his pocket, there were only about two taels.

The peddlers over there have long since dared not ask for money anymore. Mr. Zongsan's reputation in Guangzhou City is a model for businessmen.Now this eldest sister turned out to be the young mistress of his family. According to legend, the one who married the young mistress came in, with a dowry of twenty cages, and behind it was the sedan chair of the official wife. No one can match her magnificence, and her The godfather is also a tycoon of a silk and satin shop in Guangzhou, if he knew this, he wouldn't dare to ask for that penny if he was killed.

Uncle Zhao looked at Rong Lanxue in embarrassment, and said hastily: "Young Mistress, wait a minute, I'll go get it for you, just wait a moment."

"Hehe. No need, Uncle Zhao, you go to the cashier and get ten taels of silver."

"Yes, yes, the villain is going now." Uncle Zhao quickly put away the money, and ran to the cashier, where Xiaobai stood aside, and hurriedly called: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, let me go!" This young man doesn't run away, you old arms and legs, no matter how tired you are, come back quickly and talk to the young mistress, I'll go right away." As he spoke, Xiaobai raised his long legs, swished, and Gone.

Uncle Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I'm old, I'm old..."

"Uncle Zhao, how long have you been working in the Zongfu?" Rong Lanxue asked slowly.

"It's been almost 40 years. How time flies. In the blink of an eye, the master passed away." Uncle Zhao sighed, shook out a blue cloth handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Young Mistress, villain I also know that the villain is useless, this month, I will retire and go home."

"Uncle Zhao, I didn't tell you to go!" Uncle Zhao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, young mistress needless to say, the villain also understands."

"You're gone, I don't want you!" Rong Lanxue suddenly showed a sly smile: "Uncle Zhao, you are the elder of our family, and now you are the treasure of our family. Just tell Qiao Wen, tell me, starting from this month, your monthly salary will rise to 20 taels."

"Young Mistress..." Hearing Rong Lanxue's words, Uncle Zhao burst into tears immediately, bent his legs, and was about to kneel down. He knew that it was Mother Yang, whose monthly salary was only 18 taels. What an honor it must be to be two taels more than her.

Rong Lanxue said quickly: "Uncle Zhao, if you want to kneel, I will deduct a tael of silver. Once you kneel, you will deduct a tael of silver."

"I... villain..." Uncle Zhao didn't know what to say at this time, he stood there and said with a silly smile, "I am so grateful to young mistress."

"Although our family is not too rich, we will never treat the elderly badly. Don't worry." Rong Lanxue watched as the sedan chair was slowly brought over. Xiaobai was holding burn ointment in one hand and a piece of silver in the other. , out of breath, ran to Rong Lanxue, knelt down, and lifted the thing in front of Rong Lanxue, "Young...Young Mistress, the thing... I brought it."

"Hehe, okay, you've done a good job, you can go and get a reward of one or two taels of silver later." Rong Lanxue smiled and motioned for Xiaobai to hand the thing into the hands of the peddler, who was already stunned. Looking at the small bottle that was no more than three inches long, I was puzzled, and when I looked at the white silver, I was even more apprehensive.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Rong Lanxue couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, you saw it too, I ordered the servant to take it out from the mansion, it's a genuine replacement, why are you suspicious!"

The peddler fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed again and again: "Young Mistress, the villain has eyes but does not recognize the real Buddha, and the villain is really a fool, please forgive me..."

"Hehe, get up quickly, we still want to eat your candied haws in the future." Rong Lanxue said, walked up to the peddler, picked up the medicine and money, and put them in the peddler's hands, "I'm delaying your business, these Just as compensation, you go back quickly."

The peddler couldn't believe his eyes, stood up mechanically, turned around and was about to leave, Rong Lanxue suddenly called out, "Wait!" The peddler thought she had repented, so without raising her head, she fell to her knees again with a plop. He raised the medicine and silver in his hand high, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Mistress, if you don't dare to take it anymore, you can take it back."

"You are real." Zong Ruyun hugged Zong Ruyue and sat in the sedan chair, and said impatiently: "Our sister-in-law gave it to you, why would you take it back? Naturally, I have something to tell you, so you just did it like this. Where is the ferociousness, it is really a bullying thing!"

The peddler didn't dare to speak anymore, Rong Lanxue said to him slowly: "This medicine is made of high-quality badger oil, you just need to rub a little, and it will be ready tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The peddler agreed repeatedly, and Rong Lanxue got on the sedan chair, and ordered the bearer to return to the fifth master's mansion quickly. The peddler didn't dare to stand up until the sedan chair left. He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Why did you mess with our young mistress?"

"How dare I offend her old man!" Seeing Xiaobai's handsome appearance and kind face, the peddler said hastily, "This ancestor took the two young ladies to eat candied haws and didn't bring any money. We're a small business. If you can afford it, you will chase after me for money.”

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Mistress sometimes doesn't bring any money!"

The peddler glanced at him, and continued: "Yeah, we didn't expect that, seeing them wearing gold and silver, we thought they were coming from a big customer. I really didn't expect that fifth lady in your house, she is really amazing." , splashed the hot lotus seed porridge on our faces, and then ran away. We must not suffer in vain, so we chased after the mansion. We never expected that this is the third young lady who is famous in the ancestral mansion. Even if we die, we dare not chase after him."

"Hehe, our young mistress's temper has changed a lot now. It's not easy for Fifth Miss to throw lotus seed porridge all over your face. Let our young mistress have her former temper, and I'm afraid she will smash you with the stove!" Xiaobai deliberately frightened him. . "By the way, are you afraid of our young mistress too?"

When the peddler heard this, his face turned green immediately.Nod quickly.

"Hehe, no wonder, even speaking, I have imitated our young lady's accent, haha." Xiao Bai looked at the peddler's red, blue and green face, and couldn't help laughing.

The peddler looked at the bright lanterns on the gate of the Zongfu in embarrassment, and hurriedly ran away.

"Xiao Bai, you are here to tarnish the reputation of our young mistress. When she comes back, see if I don't tell her!" Uncle Zhao said with a straight face after listening to Xiao Bai's words.Xiaobai was startled, and immediately saluted Uncle Zhao, and said many good things, then Uncle Zhao returned his anger, supported Xiaobai's shoulders, and went back to the mansion.

At the gate of the fifth master's mansion, the fifth wife had already been looking forward to it, and when she saw their sedan chair coming, she hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up, bring it in quickly, it's cold outside, so don't let the wind blow when you come back so late." gone."

Rong Lanxue hastily stomped on the bottom of the sedan chair.The bearer immediately stopped the sedan chair, and when Rong Lanxue lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, the fifth wife over there had already come over to block Rong Lanxue, and said slightly annoyed: "Stop being so polite, we are all a family, why bother always Do you care about these hypocrisy?"

Rong Lanxue looked at Mrs. Fifth gratefully.He ordered the bearers to go into the mansion quickly.The Fifth Master was sitting in the living room at this time, although Yinger and Li Ma had already called the Third Young Mistress to send the ladies back, they waited and waited, but there was no one there, and the anger that had been extinguished began to gradually rise again.

Ying'er stood aside, peeking at the master's scowling face with trepidation, secretly anxious in her heart.
