There was only one straw knitting shop nearby. There were no customers in the shop at noon. There were only an old man, a young man and his grandson. Jiang Miao's heart went cold when she looked at the gray-haired old man and the young child with two horns.
.
She was unwilling to give up just like that, and there was still a trace of luck left in her heart.
"Brother, take this sign to the Xu family and tell Madam Xu that Madam Jiang has been kidnapped by the Sun family. Please ask her to rescue people. These five taels of silver will be used as your reward for running errands."
The child's eyes were confused, and her two big eyes were staring at her. She didn't know if she understood. Jiang Miao felt desperate. She looked at the servants who poked their heads in, fearing that they would find what the child was holding. Jiang Miao gritted her teeth.
Turn around and go out.
She ran and called for help, but the vendors on the street were afraid of the Sun family and would not dare to save her. A man selling buns wanted to help stop the Sun family's servants, but was grabbed by the aunt next to him.
"You idiot, you're going to die, that's a member of the Sun family."
"But that little lady is too pitiful..." Dalang hesitated in his eyes, still wanting to save someone.
"Tsk!" The aunt curled her lips, with contempt and disdain on her face.
"You poor thing, who was kidnapped by the Sun family and didn't want to enjoy a happy life? There are many young wives on this street who want to be the aunts of shopkeeper Sun."
Even the daughter-in-law of the straw knitting shop on the corner looked like a chaste and martyr woman when she was caught. However, within two months, she became the concubine of Sun Yuanbao, wearing gold and silver, and even using her as a maid.
He doesn’t even want his son anymore.
The aunt felt sour in her heart and glanced at the child who ran out of the straw weaving shop with a look of gloating on her face.
People on the street also know the Sun family's style. They are the local snakes of Furong Town, and no one dares to provoke them.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and three strong men holding sacks and ropes formed a circle to surround her.
Jiang Miao felt angry for no reason. She was a weak woman who couldn't carry her shoulders or carry her, and Sun Yuanbao really thought highly of her.
She now hates why she didn't learn more self-defense skills in her previous life, so that she could beat these gangsters to pieces and avoid being in such a mess like now, where she could only pick up the things at hand and smash them randomly.
The stall was in chaos and the crowd was shouting. Jiang Miao couldn't fight with her four fists. Her vision went dark. She had been put into a sack and kicked twice. She groaned.
"Bah, this little bitch hurts me to death." The man was hit in the arm by the knife thrown by Jiang Miao, and blood gushes out. The pain made him grimace and he kicked the sack hard.
"That's enough, Sixth. This little lady is of great use. If you hurt her, the shopkeeper won't spare you."
Lao Liu was stopped by his companions, with an angry look on his face. He covered his wounds and walked behind the team. The tips of his fingers holding the sack turned white, and he used a lot of force at a glance.
Jiang Miao was put in a sack and kicked so hard that she fainted from the pain.
At this time, Shen Yanqing, who was drinking at the banquet, suddenly felt frightened. The wine glass fell off his hand, and the wine spilled on the floor, making his clothes wet.
Shen Yanqing is wearing a gown that Jiang Miao made for him today. He usually cherishes it, but this time the occasion was solemn, so he was willing to wear it.
"What's wrong?" Dean Qiu heard the noise and glanced here.
Mr. Wei was sitting at the head of the banquet, and next to him was the gentleman from the academy. When they heard Dean Qiu's question, several people looked over.
"The student accidentally knocked over the wine glass." Shen Yanqing stood up and cupped his hands toward the person in charge. Mr. Wei waved his hands to show that it was okay, and others would not blame him for this.
Shen Yanqing has always been the most stable, but this time he was accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Wei. His future is unlimited, and it is too late for them to become friends.
"I'm afraid I don't miss my wife!" One guy joked after drinking a few glasses of wine.
Shen Yanqing lowered his head and smiled without answering. He was so flustered that something happened.
"I heard that Ziyan's wife cooks very delicious food. I wonder if I can have such a good taste?"
This is Mr. Wang, who teaches calligraphy and painting. Apart from painting, he likes to eat. When he heard about the delicious food at the Shen family stall, Jiang Miao had stopped working. Although the duck blood vermicelli soup made by Mr. Shen and Wang was also good, But nothing compares to the wide variety of snacks in Jiang Miao's hands.
It has always been his regret not being able to eat Jiang Miao's cooking.
Dean Qiu nodded. Apart from Mr. Wei, he was the only one here who had eaten it, and he still can't forget the spicy taste of boiled pork slices.
"Why don't you let Ziyan's wife prepare a banquet for apprenticeship, and we can enjoy the feast with Mr. Wei?"
As for Greedy's suggestion, everyone at the table expressed their agreement.
Mr. Wei was stroking his beard, and he was also eager for Jiang Miao's cooking. Part of the reason why he accepted Shen Yanqing was that he could often eat Jiang Miao's dishes in the future.
Since she stopped setting up a stall, Mr. Wei has lost his appetite and has lost weight visibly. No, as soon as the autumn period was over, he couldn't wait to take the exam at Shen Yanqing School. Before the results came out, the disciple accepted him .
There is definitely a apprenticeship banquet, but it is not necessary to invite these hungry people. He, Wei Cheng, is the most protective of his own shortcomings and will never trouble his own family, so he ignored everyone's expectant looks. The other people's expressions showed that Mr. Wei Just give up if you don't want to.
The atmosphere during the dinner was a bit awkward, so Dean Qiu raised his glass to smooth things over.
"Everyone, please go home as soon as possible after drinking this glass of wine, so as not to prevent the drunk lady from being allowed in."
"Haha, what the dean said is that if I get drunk again, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the academy and spend the night there."
The gentlemen left one after another after drinking, and Shen Yanqing was stopped by Mr. Wei.
"Ask your wife to prepare some special dishes. This apprenticeship banquet cannot be fooled."
Shen Yanqing bowed after hearing the words, "When the house is ready, I'll invite the teacher over."
"Yeah." Mr. Wei's goal was achieved and Shen Yanqing became more pleasing to the eye.
"If you have anything to do, you can go to the academy to see me. Go back."
When Shen Yanqing came out of the restaurant, her right eyelid kept twitching and her panic became more serious.
It is said that if the left eye jumps, the right eye will bring disaster. He is not a superstitious person, but Shen Yanqing always feels uneasy in his heart and walks home a little faster.
The distance between the restaurant and Shen's house was half as fast as usual.
The Shen family was in chaos, Mrs. Zhang was pacing around in the yard, and Mrs. Xu, who was about to give birth, crawled out of bed with a sad look on her face.
When Shen Yanqing saw this scene, his whole heart sank.
He was right to worry, something had happened to Miaoya.
"mother……"
Shen Yan cleared his dry throat and his hands were shaking.
When Mrs. Zhang saw him coming back, she seemed to have found a backbone and ran over with staggering steps.
