pet marriage

The sky is full of red clouds, and the night is about to fall. Many vendors on the street are starting to pack up the items on the stalls. Passers-by on the road are in a hurry, and no one pays attention to the people sitting in the corner food stalls and eating.

He was wearing clothes that had been patched a few times, with a lot of muddy water on his body, and his hair was even more messy. He buried his head and quickly poured the soup in the bowl into his stomach, for fear that others would snatch it from him.

After eating everything in the bowl, the man let out a long breath, raised the corners of his eyes, and carefully looked around, for fear that others would pay attention to him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he got up quickly, lowered his head and buried the tent, hurried out of the stall, got into a small alley, turned east and west, and stopped at the back door of a family after a while.

Looking through the half-opened back door, one can also see the carved beams and painted buildings inside. It is obviously a wealthy family, and it is the Wei family's mansion.

Seeing that there was no one there, the man simply found a corner and sat down to wait. He raised his eyes and stared straight at the back door. Although there was a lot of dust on his face, he could still tell that this man was the one who stole the black pearl. Feng Xin.

As night fell, the sky darkened suddenly, and the draft in the alley was blowing, Feng Xin huddled in a corner, motionless.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a smart-looking boy walked out from the back door of Wei's house. Feng Xin's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, his stiff body almost fell down due to the blow.

But Feng Xin couldn't care about anything, and ran towards the kid staggeringly.

Hearing the movement, the boy frowned and looked over suspiciously, staring at Feng Xin to size him up.

Feng Xin rushed in front of him and said eagerly, "Boy Hao, don't you recognize me?"

When Wei Hao heard his voice, his expression froze, he pulled him to hide under the dimly lit wall, and asked sharply, "Why are you here? Do you want to die?"

Hearing what he said, Feng Xin's eyes flickered in fear. He agreed to do that kind of thing because of his gambling debts. Later, the turmoil subsided a bit, and the Wei family gave him some money and sent him away. He left, but he couldn't bear his addiction to gambling, and he lost all his money in a short time. Hearing that Miss Shen's family had been driven away, he took the courage to run back again.

Feng Xin faltered and said, "Didn't you say you won't investigate? Why are you panicking?"

Wei Hao rolled his eyes and said, "On the face of it, who knows in private?"

Feng Xin looked at the entrance of the alley and said, "I was careful when I came here. If I was discovered, how could I stand here? I would have been arrested long ago."

Hearing what he said, Wei Hao thought there was some reason in his heart, nodded slightly, and asked impatiently, "It's alright, alright, then what are you doing here?"

Feng Xin smiled flatteringly, wiped his palms on his clothes, and said, "It's not that I can't go out to find a job these days, and the money on hand is almost spent. Look at this..."

Feng Xin knew that the box of black pearls he stole was worth a lot of money. For this, he hid in Tibet, and the money he got would not last long, and he had to pay these rich people.

Wei Hao listened to his words, looked at his expression, his heart moved, and he also guessed some of his thoughts. He was a little disdainful, but with a smile on his face, he responded, "I also know your difficulties, Brother Feng. I also know that I can't make the decision as a small person, but I will definitely talk to the manager and ask you."

Feng Xin looked at his expression, and was afraid that he would ignore him after he went in, looked at Wei Hao suspiciously, and said, "Boy Hao, don't fool me, if you don't want to help, I will go to Shen's house , explain this matter clearly, why should I be the only one responsible for it?"

Hearing what he said, Wei Hao quickly pulled him to comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, don't worry."

Feng Xin consciously took the blame, and didn't bother to maintain his face. He simply shook off his hand and said, "Three days, just three days, if there is no movement after three days, I will surrender myself!"

After speaking, he quickly left the alley, lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Wei Hao cursed bitterly behind him, turned his head and walked into Wei's house quickly.

After a while, another person came out from the other side of the alley, looked at the back door of Wei's house, and followed in the direction Feng Xin left.

Feng Xin's words were quickly informed by Wei Haona to the steward of the Wei Mansion. Wei Xuan ordered the steward to handle this matter, and Feng Xin was sent away by him.

When this matter was done well, he also got a lot of benefits, but he didn't expect that Feng Xin would show up, which was really annoying.

The steward frowned and asked, "Where is the young master now?"

After Wei Min was kicked out, everyone in the Wei mansion only called Wei Xuan the young master, so naturally we should ask his opinion on this matter.

The servant behind him replied, "The young master went to the bead shop to do business earlier, and he may not come back at night."

The steward nodded and ordered to go down, "Get the carriage ready, I'll go out."

The servants responded and went down to make arrangements, and after a while, a carriage left Weifu towards Zhupu.

……

In the small building, there was still the sound of the zither, the mingling of cups of wine, mixed with the laughter of the rich and powerful, simply placing bets, teasing the girls who were playing with them.

Zhang Xiulang was also sitting in this group of people, but at this moment his expression was not relaxed, his brows were slightly frowned, even if the girl beside him coaxed him to drink, he didn't respond.

After following several bets, some won or lost, Zhang Xiulang's expression was even more ugly. He got up and left the table, went to sit down at the round table where no one was around.

A few days ago, after handing over the silver ticket to Mr. Wang, the number of times he saw Mr. Wang in the small building became less, and it is even more so these days.

Before sending someone to ask about the housekeeper of the Wang family, he only said that the prince was busy with business, so Zhang Xiulang couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

When he squinted his eyes and thought, he saw a man dressed as a familiar servant walking towards him.

"Mr. Zhang." The boy walked up to him with a courteous smile on his face, and saluted.

Zhang Xiulang looked up and down, and recognized this young man as the one who used to follow behind Prince Wang, his eyes lighted up slightly, and he nodded, "You are served by Prince Wang's side."

"Exactly," the young man took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Xiulang with both hands, and said with a smile, "These days, my young master has gone out, and I thought it was rude not to say anything to you, so I wrote a special letter." Give it to you, and let me make an apology to you on his behalf."

Handing the letter to Zhang Xiulang, the servant took a gift box from the servant behind him and put it on the table beside Zhang Xiulang.

Zhang Xiulang unfolded the letter paper and looked at it, then glanced at the gift box on the table, his expression eased, he put on his usual smile, and said, "You're welcome, but it's a good thing that your business is going well."

The young man smiled and listened to him say a few polite words, and respectfully responded, he said he would not delay Zhang Xiulang's time, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Xiulang let go of one thing on his mind, became interested again, ordered his servants to put away his things, got up and went to the gaming table again.

When the night was about to fall, Zhang Xiulang also gambled a lot, got up and lazily went downstairs, got into the carriage waiting at the door, he hadn't returned to Shen's house for some days, Shen Qingjia seemed to be back today, why not go and relax .

He was sitting in the carriage, eyes half closed, shaking his head leisurely, humming a little song, and walked slowly towards Shen's house.

Halfway there, a man in the clothes of Linlang Pavilion's buddy hurried up and stopped the carriage.

The groom quickly tightened the reins, and Zhang Xiulang in the carriage fell forward, almost touching his head. He raised the curtain in anger, glared at the carriage, and cursed, "How do you drive?"

The groom repeatedly begged for mercy, and said, "Please forgive me, young master, someone stopped the carriage."

Zhang Xiulang looked away irritably, and looked at the daring person who dared to stop his car, "Who are you?"

The guy stepped forward and said anxiously, "Master Biao, I'm the guy who works under Shopkeeper Liu."

Hearing the name shopkeeper Liu, Zhang Xiulang looked at the guy's anxious expression, and he had some ominous warning in his heart, so he asked him to come forward, "What happened?"

The clerk said in a low voice, "Master Biao, the Eldest Young Master came to the pavilion suddenly today, and he came to check the account books out of interest, and now he has found shopkeeper Liu, please save the shopkeeper."

Zhang Xiulang's heart skipped a beat, he asked the guy to get into the car and explain in detail, and told the driver to drive towards Linlang Pavilion quickly.

The carriage was driving fast, and Zhang Xiulang was annoyed by the sound of the wheels colliding with the road, so he had to press down and ask the guy carefully, "When did Shen Qingjia pass?"

The clerk replied, "At dusk, the young master passed by the door. It seemed that he came in on a whim. The carriage passed by and then reversed. He asked for the key of the warehouse to find something, but he couldn't find it for a long time. The young master ordered the warehouse key The brochure was given to him to look for the records, and at this glance, the truth was revealed."

Zhang Xiulang listened with a more stern expression. He naturally knew how shopkeeper Liu collected the money from Linlang Pavilion, and paid the money from the account room for purchase expenses. Naturally, there was no problem in the account books, but the money was actually given to Zhang Xiulang. I didn't buy anything, so naturally there is no record in the warehouse book.

It is easy to find out who paid for this money. I am afraid that when he arrives, he has already found out about shopkeeper Liu, and he is afraid that shopkeeper Liu will give him a confession.

Zhang Xiulang thought carefully in his heart, and glanced at the guy with deep eyes, since shopkeeper Liu sent someone to ask for help, he was counting on him to save him, and the situation can still be controlled before he arrives.

But after a while, Zhang Xiulang made up his mind, and the expression on his face gradually eased.

The carriage stopped in front of Linlang Pavilion, and the waiter jumped out of the carriage quickly. Zhang Xiulang straightened his clothes, got out of the carriage, followed the waiter, and stepped into Linlang Pavilion.
