Chapter six hundred and ninety-ninth calling you uncle is for face
Already knowing the whereabouts of Mr. Shang, Shangguan Yu and his wife were in the mood to go shopping every day.
In addition to purchasing some special products that were not available in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two of them were mostly looking for business opportunities.
To be precise, Bai Ling was observing the market situation.
Since we plan to open this trade route to the Western Han Dynasty, we cannot simply do a business, otherwise it will not be a long-term solution.
But every night, Bai Ling went to visit Mr. Shang.
I dare not prepare delicious food for fear of being too strong, but some snacks and drinks are a must.
"Help! Someone is robbing a civilian girl! Some hero can save the little girl."
Bai Ling and his wife were picking ores today, so they were not in a busy area, but they didn't want to encounter this kind of thing.
The couple looked at each other and sat idly by as they couldn't do anything.
But to help...
"Where is the law of the Western Han Dynasty when women are raped in broad daylight?" Bai Ling shouted coldly and held Shangguan Yu's hand to prevent him from moving.
Although the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty doubted the identity of the two men, they must also know the relationship between the Han Palace and the Duan family.
So Bai Ling didn't want Shangguan Yu to use force. She could just pretend to know kung fu and then fight with him.
Let's talk about the man holding the girl's hand. Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, he turned around suddenly.
"Jiu...Jiuye?" Bai Ling abruptly changed his title.
No matter why the Ninth Prince caught the girl, Bai Ling could not directly address the Ninth Prince to avoid rumors. Then she would have offended someone.
"Is that you?" The girl also looked at Bai Ling, with a look of surprise on her face, and then pointed at the Ninth Prince and asked, "Do you know this bearded man?"
The Ninth Prince has been on the battlefield all year round, so he has grown a beard to look more intimidating.
But this was the first time he was called a bearded man, and his eyes couldn't help but look bad.
"It turns out it's you, what a coincidence!" Bai Ling smiled a little confused.
The girl was exactly the fellow countryman who hitched a ride on the road when she came to the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty.
Bai Ling couldn't tell whether meeting in this situation was fate or fate.
"Since we are all acquaintances, why not sit down and talk? This is not a suitable place." Shangguan Yu said from the side.
The girl was glanced at by Shangguan Yu's cold eyes, and she shrank her neck subconsciously, but she got angry at the Ninth Prince: "Huh, why don't you let go of my girl's hand quickly, why do you want to continue to molest me?"
The Ninth Prince shook his hand vigorously and felt that his palms were hot, and even his face was a little burning.
It was the first time that I grabbed a woman like this. It was obviously to catch a thief, but the other party said it was an indecent act. It was really embarrassing.
Moreover, the girl recognizes Bai Ling and his wife, and the Ninth Prince is willing to give them a favor and sit down to talk.
A few people found a restaurant. Since Bai Ling and his wife wanted to be the mediators, they must be the hosts today.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric.
Judging from the girl's embarrassed look, she probably didn't have any money.
And the Ninth Prince...
Bai Ling's gaze inadvertently glanced at the money bag at his waist. This man was also a poor man, with only the word "poor" carved on his face.
It was the first time for the couple to come to the Western Han Dynasty. Even if they tasted some delicacies, it was impossible to eat in all the restaurants, so after asking the two guests to no avail, they ordered the waiters to serve a signature dish each.
Of course, wine is also indispensable.
"Tell me, what happened? Master Jiu will never be a bully who robs civilian girls, and you won't wrongly accuse others, right?" Bai Ling spoke softly, someone had to start first.
The Ninth Prince and the girl looked at each other and turned away angrily.
The girl's actions made her look cute and cute, but the Ninth Prince's beard and facial expression made Bai Ling twitch the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
It's really... too inconsistent.
"His money bag fell and I happened to pick it up. I kindly gave it to him. Not to mention that he should be praised or thanked for finding money. This guy is so good. When he saw me holding the money bag, he didn't even give it to him.
If I have a chance to speak, I will be sent to the official immediately!" The girl said, giving the Ninth Prince a fierce look.
Now that I have the support of my acquaintances, I have to express my unhappiness even more.
"It's because you don't explain." The Ninth Prince retorted.
"Uncle, you are walking so fast. I, a person who hasn't eaten for several days, have to squeeze through the crowd to deliver it to you. I am so tired that I can't even breathe. How can I have a chance to talk?"
"Ben... am I that old?" The Ninth Prince was actually concerned about this question.
The girl was obviously taken aback, and nodded seriously: "I call you uncle for the sake of my two friends. Otherwise, I can call you uncle, or even uncle, old man!"
The girl gritted her teeth and said the last three words.
"I don't want to get along with children!" The Ninth Prince's eyes were spitting fire, but he thought that he might have really misunderstood the other person, so he held back his temper.
"If you don't get along with me, I will have to settle accounts with you." The girl slammed the table hard, stood up, walked to the Ninth Prince, pointed at his nose and shouted: "Do you know, you almost sent me to jail?
, what will be the consequences?”
"The pure will themselves be pure, what are you afraid of?" The Ninth Prince replied impatiently, resisting the urge to break the finger that was as white as mutton fat.
"Wrong!" the girl said angrily: "Even if a man is sent to prison, the government will beat him up without any hesitation. Especially if a man is sent in by a noble person, no matter how hard his bones are, he will still be beaten. But if a woman goes in, even if
You can keep your innocence, but your reputation is ruined. You almost killed me, you are repaying kindness with revenge!"
The Ninth Prince obviously did not expect such a result, and he had never experienced it.
He looked at Bai Ling and his wife suspiciously, and when he saw both of them nodding, he couldn't help but feel apologetic.
Whether a girl's innocence or reputation is ruined, it means that she can no longer be tolerated in the world.
He actually almost killed an innocent girl.
"Here you go." The Ninth Prince threw the money bag at the girl. He would not apologize. Under the girl's glare, he said coldly: "Suppress the shock."
Bai Ling originally thought that the girl would be brave enough to throw it back, but who knew that the girl poured all the money in the purse into her own purse, and then threw the empty purse back.
"I don't accept your apology, but it is necessary to calm down the shock. Such a small amount of money is not enough for me to buy a few pairs of medicines. This time I really did something at a loss with good intentions." The girl sat back in her seat angrily, but her eyes were clear
Much brighter.
Giving a thumbs up to the girl, Bai Ling praised her 'reason'.
When people are poor to a certain extent, sometimes they don’t have to fight for it.
Shangguan Yu held Bai Ling's hand without leaving a trace and pressed down her gesture. Only then did Bai Ling realize what he had done.
However, the girl didn't have any special reaction. She even blinked at Bai Ling, and a tacit understanding of "you understand me" emerged spontaneously.
The misunderstanding between the two people was resolved. Although it was not friendly enough, it ended there for the time being.
"Didn't you go home? Did you encounter trouble again on the road?" Seeing the girl devouring her food, Bai Ling poured her a cup of tea and asked.
After the girl gulped down the tea, she thanked her and said a little aggrievedly: "I can't go back. My father forced me to get married. I escaped under the cover of my brother. I was also unlucky. I didn't go out.
It didn't take long before I met a kidnapper and all my money was robbed."
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Bai Ling asked again, just subconsciously caring about this miserable fellow.
"Let's take it one step at a time." The girl was optimistic, "Let's go see what my fiancé looks like first. If he's a decent person, even if he's a lame or a fool, I can consider getting married. Anyway, I can still take him with me in the future.
The dowry is gone, otherwise life would be really difficult." (To be continued)
