Maung-mei is wrong

Xiang Yu Shu looked up in surprise, and saw a slim and good-looking girl standing not far away, who seemed to be about the same age as him, and the outline was indeed somewhat familiar.

But he was embarrassed to stare at a young woman for a long time, so he quickly lowered his head: "Did the girl recognize the wrong person?"

The girl stepped forward, Xiang Yu Shu smelled a faint fragrance coming towards his face, he was a little nervous.

"No mistake." The girl's voice was firm, with a hint of a smile, "The last time we met at the 'Stork Tower', I accidentally bumped into Mr. Yun Xian, and it was my benefactor who stood up for me."

Hearing what she said, Xiang Yushu suddenly remembered, and asked cautiously: "Are you... Jinxiaoyue?"

Jin Xiaoyue nodded with a smile, walked a few steps forward, and stood in front of him, with red marks on her face pinched by the thief, which made me feel pitiful.

Except for Wan Lifeng, Xiang Yushu had never been so close to a young woman before, so nervous that his limbs became stiff, he took a few steps back embarrassingly, and couldn't help stammering: "Really, really, fortunately, glad to meet you."

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to ask my benefactor's name last time, and I regretted it for a while." Seeing his embarrassed look, Jin Xiaoyue couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, "Fortunately, we are destined to meet again, and... ...and was rescued by benefactor again..."

Xiang Yushu waved his hands again and again: "Don't say that, last time it was just speaking out of righteousness, this time it's nothing, don't call me benefactor, it's... weird..."

"I'm not called Engong, so how should I call you son?"

Only then did Xiang Yushu realize that he should have declared himself a long time ago, so he cupped his hands and said, "My name is Xiang Yushu, Yu of Yu, Shu of Shuxin."

"'Jinxiaoyue' is an alias I used when I sang songs as a child. My surname is Qin, and my name is Luoyu." Qin Luoyu paused and emphasized, "It's not rain, it's the same as benefactor, it's also a feather rain."

With a smile on her face, she took a step in front of Xiang Yushu, and tugged at his sleeve, not letting him back away, but after all, there was a large audience, so she just tugged and let go.

Xiang Yushu didn't dare to move, he stood on the spot like a bamboo pole, his head was lowered, his eyes didn't know where to look, so he could only stare at Qin Luoyu's shadow reflected on the ground, and stammered: "You...you Your name sounds really nice, but me, mine is very...very ordinary."

Qin Luoyu said generously: "Engong, just call me Luoyu, I also call Engong Brother Xiang, how about it?"

Her voice was crisp and melodious, and Xiang Yushu's scalp went numb when she called out "Brother Xiang", and he didn't know if it was because of the drunkenness he had drunk before, but his heart also trembled three times.

Among the red boas, he is the youngest, and he has always only listened to yelling, but now he is suddenly called big brother by such a beautiful girl, and the other party is extremely grateful, Xiang Yu Shu seems to have found an unprecedented confidence, although nervous, But he was also excited, and nodded lightly: "Okay... Luo Yu, then, were you injured just now?"

Qin Luoyu smiled: "No, don't worry, Big Brother."

"You, didn't you learn singing from that...that Yuchenfeng at Wulingdu? Why did you come to Guiliang Mansion?" Xiang Yu Shu returned to his seat, wondering.

Speaking of this, Qin Luoyu showed a desolate expression: "I am not very talented, and I begged Yuchenfeng to accept me as an apprentice at the beginning, but after I bumped into Mr. Yunxian last time, I was caught by the shop's second servant under the guidance of my master." In front of him, he sued me severely, accusing me...accusing me..."

Hearing that this matter was related to him, Xiang Yu Shu was immediately anxious: "That matter is not serious at all, Mr. Yun Xian didn't take it to heart at all, what can the waiter say about you?!"

Qin Luoyu said anxiously: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Engong and Young Master Yunxian. It was that man who once showed favor to me, but I ignored him, so he got revenge and used this matter to add fuel to my master, saying I deliberately bumped into Mr. Yunxian, wanting to win the favor of the nobleman so that I can climb high..."

"He put... nonsense!" Xiang Yushu swallowed the word "fart" back, and said angrily, "How can you climb a high branch? In terms of fame, Mr. Yun Xian is not as good as Yu Chenfeng, if... if it means something else , that’s even more impossible, and Mr. Yunxian doesn’t like it—in short, it’s impossible, and your master actually believed it?!”

Qin Luoyu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Master thinks I'm not a man to make, and he's afraid that I'll damage her reputation, so I've already wanted to go back on my word. This matter is in her favor, and it just gave her a reason to drive me away. In this way , It is difficult for me to make a living in Wulingdu, after much deliberation, I feel that the Guiliang Mansion is not like Wulingdu where there is a gathering of talents, and there may be a chance for me to survive, so I came here."

Although Xiang Yushu was angry, he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he became concerned about her current situation: "How is this place? Have you found a place to settle down?"

When Qin Luoyu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the restaurant behind him: "Perhaps Luo Yu's fate is good. After coming here not long ago, he found a chance to sing in this Canghai Tower, and in the alley not far away I rented a small courtyard here. I just finished singing, and unfortunately I ran into a thief. Fortunately, my benefactor, oh no, Brother Xiang, you arrived in time."

Xiang Yu Shu heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He looked around and saw that there were few pedestrians on the road, so he said, "Why don't I take you back, it's too unsafe for a woman to walk alone at night."

"Thank you Brother Xiang, my house is just ahead." Qin Luoyu lowered his eyes and smiled shyly, bowed his knees and saluted, walked to Xiang Yushu, and walked side by side with him, "Why did you come to Guiliang Mansion again? Could it be that Mr. Yun Xian is here too? And the little Mr. who was with you last time, I heard that he is Young Master You from Lu Qiqin, why is he here?"

Xiang Yu Shu scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "It's a long story, this time Young Master You didn't go with you, Young Master Yun Xian has indeed traveled here, and I want to perform in Guiliang Mansion, I'm just doing it for you He set up venues for performances, but who knows that no one here has heard of my young master's name, just now I went to the Daqing Tower, and I was taunted by people."

Qin Luoyu stopped suddenly: "If this is the case, Luo Yu may be able to help. I am familiar with the shopkeeper of Canghai Tower, so I may be able to recommend it for you."

Xiang Yu Shu was stunned: "This... is it convenient?"

"What's the inconvenience?" Qin Luoyu smiled, grabbed Xiang Yushu's wrist, turned around and walked back, "Just treat me as a favor to my benefactor."

,

Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian found out about the grandson's wife's house without much effort. When they rushed over, they saw a peddler at the intersection not far away who was about to close his stall. They looked at each other and decided to ask the peddler first.

This time they didn't pretend to be policemen. Nie Yunhan stepped forward and didn't speak Dayao's official dialect, but the local dialect of Tangzhou Mansion. I don't know if it's convenient to ask you something?"

As he spoke, he stuffed a few ounces of silver under the tarpaulin of the peddler's cart. The peddler saw the money in his eyes, and his eyes crooked with a smile: "It's convenient, what do you want to ask?"

"Is there a Sun Yuanwai living in the alley ahead? Do you know anything about his family?"

When the peddler heard this, his face turned pale: "If you want to talk about others, I may not know, but the intersection where I set up a stall is a must for the Sun family to come and go, and their servants, Ding Nuyuan and so on often come to my stall I'm going to have dinner with you, and I'll take care of the Sun's affairs."

Zhuo Ying stood idle and didn't say a word, he didn't know Tangzhou language, he was afraid of revealing his secrets, but seeing the bragging expression on this peddler's face, he doubted whether his words were accurate.

Nie Yunhan didn't take it seriously, and bowed again and again: "Oh, I found the right person! Actually, it's not a big deal. A cousin from my aunt's family came to Guiliang's mansion a few days ago to find a living. One piece, it seems to be a waiter in some restaurant. I sent a letter to my family before, saying that I got acquainted with the son of Sun Yuan’s family, as if to promote him to work in the Sun’s residence, but there was no news after that.”

When the peddler heard this, his expression was quite meaningful, but he didn't interrupt Nie Yunhan's words, so Nie Yunhan pretended not to notice and continued talking.

"My aunt was a little worried, so she asked me and my brother to come back to the Liang Manor to look for him. Today I went to the restaurant where he waited and asked, and the shopkeeper said that my cousin had quit his job a few days ago, and he seemed to have climbed onto something. I wondered if this Gao Zhi'er was from the grandson's family, so I came to inquire."

Nie Yunhan acted honestly and had never seen the world, and said timidly: "But we dare not enter the grand courtyard of the Sun Mansion, and it is late now, and we are afraid to go to the concierge and be thrown out, no wonder It looks good, so I wanted to inquire about it first. I wonder if my brother has seen my cousin?"

"What does your cousin look like?" The peddler asked playfully, "How old is he? Is he handsome?"

Nie Yunhan pretended to be taken aback, looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "This..."

Zhuo Yingxian also acted as if he was confused.

The peddler pointed at Zhuo Yingxian, looked him up and down and said, "Let's put it this way, your cousin, who is more handsome than your brother? Do you have his appearance?"

Nie Yunhan smiled embarrassingly: "My cousin's appearance is not bad, but we grew up together, so we can't see it very clearly. Why, don't the Sun family members have high requirements on appearance? Isn't it good for facial features? ?”

"Hmph, you are indeed foreigners, and everyone in the local area knows that the young master of the Sun family likes..." The peddler felt that it seemed inappropriate to say so, so he changed his words, "Anyway, I can win his favor. He must be good-looking. By the way, what are the characteristics of your cousin?"

"Oh, his legs and feet are not very good, and he is a little lame." Nie Yunhan said quickly, "Actually, we are still a little worried. Will the Sun family want a lame man to work at home? Maybe his family is kind."

The peddler had a look of contempt on his face: "Some things you don't need to walk to serve people..."

Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian knew what he was referring to, but they looked at each other pretending to be puzzled.

"Forget it, let me tell you that you don't understand either. But I haven't seen any lame people coming in and out of Sun's house these days, probably..." The peddler patted Nie Yunhan on the shoulder with a sympathetic expression, "Oh, For some things, don’t take it too seriously, and don’t hit the stone with an egg, just think that he has found a good customer, and he has really climbed a high branch.”

Nie Yunhan nodded in confusion: "Thank you, bro."

The peddler pushed up the packed cart and was about to leave: "It's easy."

As soon as he took two steps, Nie Yunhan chased him again and asked, "By the way, I was eating at the market in the evening, and I asked a few people casually. Some people said that I saw him talking to Mr. Sun on the tenth day of the lunar new year." , I don’t know if my brother has any impression that day? Did you see a lame man coming back with Mr. Sun?”

"Then you have to ask!" The peddler put down the cart and said firmly, "I was very impressed that day, because Sun Gongzi came back cursing all the way, and he seemed to be annoyed by someone. But he was only accompanied by the servant and A few nursing homes, no one else, let alone a cripple."

"After Sun Gongzi returned to the mansion, did he come out again?"

"No, that day the Sun Mansion hosted a banquet. All the dignified people in the Guiliang Mansion came, and the magistrate was also present. Mr. Sun greeted the guests at home and did not go out again." The peddler seemed to be relieved for them, "So, Maybe your cousin has gone to another place, so you can inquire again."
