Ying Bao felt numb.
She seemed to understand why the inn lady was so attentive to her.
But it seemed too unkind to refuse directly, so he politely said, "I'll wait until I ask Uncle Wu about this."
The lady in the inn happily responded, and when she took the basin out, she said, "My dear lady, I'll go buy a box of Rongfuji bean paste cakes for you to try. It's a must-have in Qinchuan County."
Upon hearing this, Yingbao shook her head: "No, thank you, auntie. Eating cakes at night will rot your teeth."
No matter what, I can't accept money or goods from others without being chased and beaten when my identity is revealed.
The next day, the servant came over and told Yingbao that the master had gone to the county government office for work, and asked her to stay at the inn. After the master finished his business, he would send someone to the countryside to call her parents to pick him up.
Then the servant went downstairs and asked the inn lady to take care of the little lady and not let strangers get close to her.
The inn lady agreed without saying a word, and as soon as the servant left, she immediately brought over a pretty woman in her twenties.
"Little lady, this is my niece. She has just turned twenty this year and is still waiting to be married."
Ying Bao stared at the woman Pingting in front of her, dumbfounded.
What does this mean? Do you want to use her as a springboard?
But what can I do if everyone is standing in front of me? I can only let her stay temporarily, and tell her clearly later that I am not a relative of Wu Daozi, so as not to delay others.
"The slave's name is Yan Ru."
Yan Ru stepped forward lightly and gave Ying Bao a little blessing.
Yingbao immediately jumped up and returned the gift. "Sister Yanru, you're welcome, I..."
Suddenly she paused, realizing that she shouldn't reveal her real name to a stranger.
As soon as the conversation changed, Ying Bao said with a smile: "My name is Bao'er. Sister Yanru just calls me by my name."
"Bao'er." Yan Ru called out from Shanruliu and opened the food box she brought, revealing the red bean cake with words stuck inside.
The red bean cakes are about the size of eggs, with a piece of red diamond-shaped paper pasted on each one, with the words "Fu", "Lu", "Shou", "Happiness" and "Wealth" written on the paper respectively.
Such exquisite packaging is worth a lot of money at a glance.
"This is the snack my family bought from Rongfu Ji. It has just been made and is still warm. Little... Bao'er, please try it."
Yingbao didn't dare to taste it, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "I just had breakfast and I'm not hungry yet. Sister Yanru, please put it away first."
Walking around the room, Ying Bao tilted her head and looked at Yan Ru.
She has a graceful figure and pretty and charming appearance. She shouldn't be twenty years old and still unmarried.
He also rashly courted a relative of a strange man. It didn't look like something a girl in waiting could do.
No matter what, I can't bring Uncle Wu into trouble.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, why not go to Furifeng Trading Company to find Zhou Mao to take care of things.
I have business dealings with Zhou Mao, and he makes money by pointing out his goods, so he will never ignore me.
Moreover, Uncle Wu seemed to be very busy and couldn't take care of her for a moment. He was also a foreigner and was unfamiliar with this place for the first time.
Instead of waiting for Uncle Wu, you might as well ask the innkeeper to take you to Fulifeng Trading Company, or at least ask Manager Zhou to send a message to your family.
Of course, it would be great to send her home.
So Yingbao said to Yanru: "Sister Yanru, do you know Fulifeng Trading Company?"
Yan Ru nodded: "Yes, sister Bao'er also knows about our big business here?"
As long as the people in the county town are not close to home, there is no one who does not know about this big trading company. However, this little kid has just arrived here, how can even Furifeng know about it?
"Well, I'm going to find someone there. Can you take me there? I have money to hire a car." Yingbao said, taking out a bunch of copper coins from her pocket, "Are these enough?"
Yan Ru smiled and pushed back the copper coins: "Why don't you spend money? There is a donkey cart at my aunt's inn, so I will ask the waiter to pull one."
"Thank you very much, sister Yanru." Yingbao smiled at her with bent eyes.
After a while, Yan Ru led Ying Bao into a donkey cart and rushed to Furifeng Trading Company.
This inn was only three or four miles away from the trading house, and we soon arrived in front of the trading house.
Yingbao jumped out of the donkey cart first and ran into the business.
"Excuse me, is Manager Zhou Mao here?" She stood on tiptoes and asked the waiter at the counter.
The waiter looked for a long time but didn't see the person speaking. He looked down at the counter and saw a knee-high baby looking up at him.
"What do you want from Manager Zhou?" the boy asked patiently.
Ying Bao: "If you have something important, you must tell him face to face."
"Manager Zhou has gone to Fucheng and won't be back until a few days later," the boy said.
"Going to Fucheng?" Yingbao was frustrated.
Boy: "Yes, I'd better come back in a few days, little lady."
After coming out of Fulifeng Trading Company, Yingbao sat on the donkey cart dejectedly.
Yan Ru also followed and asked the coachman to drive back and asked in a low voice: "If there is anything you need, little Bao'er, why don't you tell me about it?"
Ying Bao shook her head and wrapped her head in a small blanket, not wanting to pay attention to anyone.
As the donkey cart drove through a street, it suddenly noticed a noise in front of it.
Several villagers were holding on to one person.
When Ying Bao saw the villagers clearly, her eyes lit up and she quickly shouted: "Stop the car quickly! Stop the car! I want to get out!"
Seeing this, Yan Ru quickly asked the driver to stop the donkey cart.
Ignoring Yanru's obstruction, Yingbao jumped out of the donkey cart and ran quickly towards those people, shouting as he ran: "Second uncle! Second uncle!"
Among the people in front, one was Jiang Erlang, Yingbao's second uncle.
They were grabbing Chen Ergou's son-in-law, Zhang Mazi, and beating him violently, shouting and cursing: "You bitch! You've come to the county seat! But I caught you. Where did Chen Ergou go?"
Suddenly he saw a little baby running towards her. Jiang Erlang noticed with sharp eyes that it was his little niece. He couldn't help but let go of Zhang Mazi's neck and hurriedly greeted her.
"Bao'er!" He picked up his niece and was pleasantly surprised: "You are really in the county seat."
Yingbao hugged her second uncle's neck tightly, grinning and wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.
She was so excited that she simply didn't know how to express her current mood.
"Oh, I finally found the cherry blossom." A villager laughed.
He kicked Zhang Mazi hard again and scolded: "You haven't told me where your father-in-law is hiding! I won't be able to reap the rewards if I send you to the Yamen later!"
Zhang Mazi was surprised when he saw the little doll running back on his own. He knew that there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he held his head and shouted: "I said, I said, don't send me to the Yamen, I said..."
It turned out that that day, Chen Ergou suddenly came to Zhang Mazi and said that he wanted to make a fortune business and asked his adopted son-in-law to cooperate with him, and he would be given one tael of silver as a reward for his hard work.
Zhang Mazi was worried about how to live his life after paying taxes. When he heard this, he followed without saying a word.
Later, he and his father-in-law successfully snatched the child together. Chen Ergou sent him home first, and he went to deliver the child to his employer himself, saying that he would give him a tael when he got the money back.
As a result, his father-in-law only gave him a hundred cents when he came back, saying that the employer didn't bring enough money and asked them to hold off for a few days.
Chen Ergou cursed all night, and early the next morning he heard that Sun Li was bringing people to arrest him.
So Weng and his son-in-law had no choice but to escape to the wilds and stay there for two days. They only dared to run home in the middle of the night and eat something to fill their stomachs.
Seeing that the employer still didn't send the money, Chen Ergou had to go to the door secretly to ask for it. In the end, he was told that the employer had gone to the county seat and asked them to go to the county seat to get the money.
Having no other choice, the two of them came to the county town again, and Chen Ergou even swore that if that woman dared to deceive him again, he would go to jail and confess her.
