There was a loud "bang", and the owner of the yard exclaimed, "Who, who, who is outside?"
Not long after, a little boy in the room ran out first. When he saw Ling Yun, he was horrified and shouted into the house, "Mom, come quickly! There is a person lying here."
Ling Yun sat up in pain and leaned against the wall, while the child who was speaking opposite stood in front of the door and stared at him warily.
Amid the child's screams, a woman came over after hearing the sound. She looked at him lying against the wall and asked cautiously, "Young Master, who are you and why are you lying in the yard of my house?"
"I..."
Ling Yun hesitated to speak, because at this moment, his brain felt dizzy, and he didn't know how to explain the situation of innocent people falling into other people's homes.
At this moment, his hatred towards Yang Ergou reached its peak again, and he wished he could crush him to ashes.
At the same time, I secretly swore in my heart that I would beat him up again when I went back to let him know the cruelty of this society.
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the woman looked Ling Yun up and down carefully and found that his face was kind and he did not look like a criminal.
Furthermore, this person is young, looks delicate and comfortable, but looks like a perverse young man.
Taking a deep breath, he gained courage, stepped forward two or three steps, and asked in a low voice, "Master, may I ask why you appeared in the courtyard of the slave family?"
"This sister, boy... boy..."
Ling Yun wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't think of a suitable reason.
Just when he didn't know how to explain, a voice sounded in the alley. He listened carefully and found that it was the voice of the old woman who had just been chatting with him.
"Sister-in-law of the Liu family, sister-in-law of the Liu family, open the door quickly!"
The Liu family's sister-in-law was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, then quickly opened the door, looked at the visitor and asked doubtfully, "Grandma Zhao, what do you want to do when you come here this time?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head and asked in a low voice, "I'm fine, old lady. I just saw a young man accidentally falling into your home. I came here to ask if you saw him?"
Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, the Liu family's sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Grandma Zhao, does it mean that you know that young master?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head again and explained, "I don't know the old lady, but he just stood on the wall of your house and said he was discussing the distance of the sun and the refraction of light."
"It was very clear. Just when the old lady was getting excited, he accidentally fell from the top. I don't know if the child was seriously injured."
"Besides, I heard that the old lady is a scholar. She is well-behaved and well-mannered. She really looks like a white-faced scholar. But her words are so mysterious and unpredictable that the old lady didn't understand a single word."
"I once heard that the scholar had thin arms and legs, and the old lady was worried that something might happen to him if he fell down, so she came here to have a look."
Mrs. Liu's sister-in-law nodded thoughtfully after Mrs. Zhao's explanation. No wonder she felt relieved when she saw the young man's elegant appearance and never thought he was a scholar.
It has to be said that Mrs. Zhao's explanation not only dispelled the doubts and worries in the Liu family's sister-in-law's mind, but also alleviated Ling Yun's embarrassing situation of not knowing how to explain.
Ling Yun thought to himself, this old lady Zhao is such a good person!
If she hadn't stood up and explained for him, he would have been really embarrassed and embarrassed.
Liu's sister-in-law said in surprise, "Oh? So that's it. I thought it was a thief, and I was really shocked."
She suddenly realized that she was a scholar and her intuition was not wrong.
This person was not a thief. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with concern, "Young Master, are you okay? Did you fall?"
Ling Yun struggled to stand up and bowed to Liu's sister-in-law Zuoji, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I'm sorry for disturbing you so much. I would like to apologize to you."
When Liu's sister-in-law heard that he was okay, she said with relief, "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay."
Based on these few words, Ling Yun roughly estimated that Liu's sister-in-law was a sensible person and would not argue with him. In this case, he could easily deal with it.
After all, it was really unspeakable that I wanted to see the person in my dream, but I actually climbed onto the widow's wall and fell down in the yard.
There were many disputes at the widow's door, and even if he told the truth, no one would believe it.
Furthermore, in this era, widows were looked down upon, and if something were to come out, it would make him extremely ashamed.
He touched his cuffs, took out two taels of silver, and said sincerely, "I just accidentally fell down from above and broke your water jar. This is two taels of silver, please accept it."
The Liu family's sister-in-law was a widow with a child, so her life was probably not very rich. He took out two taels of silver as an apology to her.
At the same time, he hoped that she would not investigate his unintentional mistakes.
Seeing Ling Yun take out the money and hand it to her, the Liu family's sister-in-law asked in confusion, "Young Master, what do you mean?"
He said nothing, but pointed at the broken water jar.
The Liu family's sister-in-law glanced at the broken water jar and did not accept the money. Instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Young master, you are joking. A water jar like this only costs a few copper coins."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm afraid you don't know how much you can buy with these two taels of silver. If my family accepts these two taels of silver because of the broken water jar, I will feel uneasy."
Ling Yun kept staring at her as she spoke, and realized that she actually had some thoughts about the two taels of silver in his hand.
Because he just saw that the Liu family's sister-in-law swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva while looking at the silver, and there was a flash of light in her eyes that disappeared briefly.
So he thought for a while and continued, "Part of it is the cost of breaking the water jar, and the rest of the money can be used as the boy's apology."
Unexpectedly, the Liu family's sister-in-law still shook her head and refused with righteous words, "Young Master, don't try to persuade me again. You will never be able to use these two taels of silver."
Ling Yun wanted to help her, but the Liu family's sister-in-law was not the kind of person who was blind to money, so she was unwilling to accept the two taels of silver, no matter how hard she said it.
He is not a person with overflowing love, but when he encounters someone, he wants to do his best while he has the ability.
Although the two taels of silver were not much, they made do with one large and one small, which would not be a problem for one and a half months. Moreover, this was also his intention to apologize.
"Okay! Since Sister-in-law Liu is not willing to accept it, I won't force it. If Sister-in-law has any difficulties in the future, she can go to Chunmanlou to find the boy. His name is Ling Yun."
Since he didn't want to accept the money, he didn't force her. He just left an address and told her that if she encounters difficulties in the future, she can come to Chunmanlou to find him.
