Wu Shigong took Xue Yong and other guards to the powder shop. On the way, Wu Shigong did not open his mouth to explain anything to Xue Yong, because it seemed that no matter what he said, everything seemed to be getting darker and darker. And Xue Yong's face was also ugly.
When he arrived at the door of the cosmetics shop, Wu Shigong told the guards to wait at the door. When he entered, Wu Shigong said to Xue Yong, "I'm going to go in and do business. Don't have any other ideas." Xue Yong nodded in agreement.
After Wu Shigong entered the door of the powder shop, Xue Yong thought to himself: "Uncle! If I don't have other ideas, I'd be damned. Please don't trust me so much, okay? It's hard for me to be a human being. This time
This is the last time, I will definitely not help you hide it next time!"
Wu Shigong didn't know that Xue Yong was having a fierce ideological struggle. As soon as he entered the powder shop, he walked to the inner room in a familiar way. Knowing Wu Shigong's arrival, Zhao Ruya also came out. She looked indifferent and put a
Zhang Shenqi handed it to Wu Shigong and said coldly to Wu Shigong: "This is the body deed. The little girl is behind."
At this time, Zhao Ruya's feelings towards Wu Shigong were actually very complicated.
At that time, Zhao Ruya and her husband were able to leave the Chen family and start their own business independently. It can be said that her character was a little self-improving;
But after all, Zhao Ruya lived in the Ming Dynasty, an era when male chauvinism was prevalent. In addition, the Chen family pressed hard on her and Xiaojie, an orphan and widowed mother. Therefore, when she met Wu Shigong, a powerful man,
, she also relied a little on Wu Shigong;
Zhao Ruya and Wu Shigong had been in contact for so long, and they also realized that Wu Shigong was very kind to them, mother and daughter, and had a good personality and temper. Although Wu Shigong was not good-looking except for his burly figure, Zhao Ruya also liked Wu Shigong a little bit.
;
Although Zhao Ruya still has some confidence in her appearance, she is several years older than Wu Shigong, and she is a widow. Therefore, Zhao Ruya is also a little worried about whether Wu Shigong will like her;
Finally, Zhao Ruya also specifically inquired about Wu Shigong's current identity, and knew that Wu Shigong was a surrogate son-in-law, and it was basically impossible for him to marry her. In addition, there were many rumors about the treatment of the children of wealthy families, who were always in trouble and eventually abandoned.
Therefore, Zhao Ruya is also a little afraid of her future.
But no matter what, Zhao Ruya was very unhappy that Wu Shigong sent a little girl to her place today.
Wu Shigong didn't feel at all that Zhao Ruya's inner activities today were very Qiong Yao. He walked excitedly towards the inside, still thinking in his heart: The money the little girl gave me must be more than five hundred taels!
Li Xin had been waiting impatiently in the room for a long time. When she saw Wu Shigong come in, she stood up from her chair with a smile on her face.
Wu Shigong asked straight to the point: "Where are the things?"
Li Xin patted her belly proudly and said, "They're all here."
Wu Shigong looked at Li Xin's belly strangely and thought to himself: "I didn't realize that this little girl like you is a hen that can only lay golden eggs." He was wondering when he heard Li Xin say: "Get a pen and paper.
Come."
Wu Shigong's words cheered up. This little girl must be drawing a treasure map. Wu Shigong quickly asked Zhao Ruya outside the house to get paper and pen. Li Xin took the pen and wrote more than a dozen pieces of paper in a row before finishing.
Wu Shigong was standing aside, impatient for a long time. He took a look at these dozen pieces of paper and couldn't understand them. If you think about it, even the Wu Shigong who was transported through time had his status as a scholar through the back door. And that Li
The imperial censor was a well-educated scholar, and his articles were all in parallel and Liliu, and he used allusions very brilliantly. Wu Shigong looked at these papers and basically knew the words on them separately, but he had no idea what they meant when put together.
Wu Shigong was still harboring fantasies. He looked at these words, first read them backwards, then read the beginnings of the words, and then skipped the words... trying to discover some secret. But he heard Li Xin say proudly from the side: "These are all for dealing with
The eunuch’s most powerful weapon.”
Wu Shigong was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. In anger, Wu Shigong threw the dozen pieces of paper on the ground and cursed: "Damn it, is this what you gave me?"
"What? Isn't this article a good thing?" Li Xin asked confidently with her hands on her hips.
"It cost me five hundred taels of silver to save you. Five hundred taels! You just gave me these pieces of tattered paper?"
"What? Aren't these articles worth five hundred taels? It can completely defeat the eunuchs!"
…
The two began to quarrel. Zhao Ruya, who was listening on the sidelines, could tell that Wu Shigong was definitely not coveting her beauty when he saved this little girl. Zhao Ruya, who felt relaxed, simply stood by and watched with relish.
"Yinzi! Yinzi! I just know Yinzi! The government of the Ming Dynasty was ruined by corrupt officials like you."
"You say I'm a corrupt official!" Wu Shigong became furious when he thought about the magnificence of that little girl's mansion. He shouted, "Your father is a corrupt official, that's why his house was confiscated. I
He is the most honest official in the world."
"An upright official?" Li Xin sneered contemptuously, "You are an upright official and you will insist on money?"
"Corrupt officials don't ask for money when they are greedy enough. It is precisely because we, honest officials, are poor that we ask for money." Wu Shigong showed no signs of weakness. Who is afraid of who is talking about falsehoods?
After hearing Wu Shigong's absurd reasoning, Zhao Ruya who was on the side couldn't bear it anymore. It was so funny. She burst out laughing, and then let out a string of laughter like silver bells.
Interrupted by Zhao Ruya's laughter, the two people's quarrel paused. Li Xin also calmed down a bit. She thought about her father's uncertain future; about her family's broken family; and about her pampered self.
The noble lady fell into the hands of Wu Shigong, a rude and money-grubbing soldier. She suddenly felt so sad that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Xin's crying made Wu Shigong stunned again. He thought to himself: How did this little girl suddenly change from Sister Xifeng to Sister Daiyu? Fortunately, she was not Sister Feng. Wu Shigong couldn't bear it as soon as he recalled Sister Feng's honor.
I couldn't help but shiver.
Wu Shigong was most afraid of women crying, so he was a little at a loss now. Zhao Ruya rolled her eyes at Wu Shigong, and then walked to Li Xin to comfort her. Wu Shigong also touched his nose helplessly and said to Li Xin: "Okay, okay
, don’t cry. You can live here peacefully for now. We will talk about the future later. I am not a bad person..."
"He's a bad boy." Wu Shigong looked in the direction of the interrupter in surprise. Was it Xiaojie, the little ancestor, or who else? Xiaojie's cold eyebrows and angry look looked particularly cute.
Xiaojie was taking a nap today, and was woken up by the noise of Wu Shigong and the others. She came over and saw, wasn't this the bad boy who promised to come often to tell stories, but didn't come for a long time? How could this make Xiaojie
Why don't you look down on Wu Shigong?
When Wu Shigong saw Xiaojie, he lost his temper. He quickly changed his face and flattered Xiaojie: "Why does my little sister call uncle a bad boy?"
"Because you won't tell the story." Xiaojie answered confidently.
"Okay, okay, okay." Wu Shigong could only raise his hands in surrender, "Uncle will tell you a story today. However, uncle has finished telling the story. What should we do?"
Xiaojie was beaming when she heard Wu Shigong agreed to tell the story. She said to Wu Shigong: "It doesn't matter, Xiaojie has a storybook (the prototype of the Ming Dynasty novel) here. Uncle can just tell it to Xiaojie."
Unexpectedly, the little ancestor was very well prepared, so Wu Shigong had no choice but to agree. Xiaojie jumped up and went to get the storybook, and Wu Shigong thought sadly and angrily: Today I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. Unexpectedly
I saved a righteous angel. I have only heard of angels enlightening demons, but now, I, a demon, have saved an angel.
Zhao Ruya took Li Xin to the next room to persuade her. After Xiaojie took out the storybook, Wu Shigong hugged Xiaojie on his lap and told the story according to the storybook. He was surprised to find that Xiaojie actually
He knew a lot of words in the storybook, so he repeatedly praised Xiaojie as a genius. His exaggerated words made Xiaojie laugh.
After finally finishing the story, Zhao Ruya also came over. She kicked her daughter out and had a few words with Wu Shigong alone.
Zhao Ruya asked Wu Shigong: "So what does Commander Wu want to do with that little girl?"
"How can we arrange it?" Wu Shigong replied angrily: "We can only keep it for now, and then send the little girl away when her relatives come to pick her up." Wu Shigong felt very sad. What loss did he have?
I got five hundred taels of silver.
Then Wu Shigong handed the identity deed to Zhao Ruya and said: "You take the identity deed first, and then we can take it away together."
Zhao Ruya didn't answer, she smiled slightly and said: "Let's leave it here with Commander Wu for now, and wait until her relatives come. There is one more thing. The little girl lives here alone, and I feel that she is a little scared.
ah."
Wu Shigong thought for a while, put away the deed, and took out four or fifty taels of silver from his arms, and said to Zhao Ruya: "Take this money to buy a maid for that little girl. The extra money will be that."
The living expenses for the little girl to live with you.”
Zhao Ruya accepted the money without any courtesy. Then she showed off to Wu Shigong excitedly and said, "Commander Wu's idea is really good. Now my makeup shop can earn an extra three to forty taels of silver every month.
I don’t know how to thank Commander Wu.”
Wu Shigong waved his hand casually. Wu Shigong really didn't take these small coins seriously: "Just keep it. Save it and use it as Xiaojie's dowry. I like this girl very much, so I will be her godfather."
.”
Wu Shigong's last words were somewhat teasing. Zhao Ruya blushed after hearing this, her eyes were watery, and her eyes were twitching. Wu Shigong was a little stunned when he saw Zhao Ruya's expression. He couldn't help but put his mouth to hers,
Kissed Zhao Ruya on the lips.
"Bad boy, why did you bully my mother!"
Why did Xiaojie, the little ancestor, come back again? Wu Shigong, whose good deeds were ruined, could only leave the powder shop in despair.
As soon as Wu Shigong came out of the powder shop, Xue Yong saw the lipstick mark on Wu Shigong's mouth. He immediately lamented in his heart: Oh, my good uncle! Can't you pay more attention? I don't see anything now.
