Chapter 245 Senior brother is a bad person
With a beautiful confidant like Xue Ting, Miss Shi's attitude towards several other people is also very good.
Where can I see the usually aloof and arrogant magistrate lady, but now she has all the tenderness and beauty of a woman in her.
Not only did she need to find another yard for Xue Ting and others, but she also asked them if they had anything to do in Yanzhou, and she could help.
Qinglang took the opportunity to say that he was going out to find relatives. But his brother Zhao only came with him.
After saying this, the young lady became even more happy.
Not only did he ask for help, he also prepared two hundred taels of silver notes for them to spend.
Qinglang still wanted to refuse.
Although he is a monk, their Yuntai Temple is really not short of money. The royal family allocates a fixed amount of money every year, and the officials and women in Beijing also donate a lot of money for sesame oil when they come to the Taoist temple to burn incense. . What's more, their Taoist temple often goes down the mountain to do some rituals.
None of these rituals charge less than a hundred taels of silver.
"Please accept it, guest." Miss Shi smiled calmly, "You have money with you, so I can feel more at ease."
Qinglang looked at Xue Ting, who nodded slightly towards him.
Qinglang nodded immediately, "Okay, thank you very much, Miss, for your kindness."
Qinglang walked out from behind the government office with Long Baoer and Chang Yi.
Long Baoer turned back three times every step of the way, "Brother, won't you come with us?"
The voice was aggrieved.
Xue Ting naturally heard his sister's voice and almost couldn't sit still.
He also turned around to pursue his sister's voice.
But at this time, Long Baoer had already followed Qinglang and turned the corner.
"Your second brother won't come with us. He will stay here."
Long Baoer's big eyes were suddenly filled with tears, "Senior brother, have you sold my second brother?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "I saw you took the money!"
Although Long Baoer is young, he has gone out several times, so he naturally knows the banknotes and knows that they are used to buy things.
But they usually take out the money and get the banknotes. When have they ever received the banknotes?
The cashiers are all buying things!
So the little girl came to the conclusion that Qinglang sold her second brother to the family just now.
This is her second brother, how could he sell it to others!
Even if they want to sell, they can't sell it this far. When they go home, won't they never see their second brother again?
Xue Ting and Miss Shi were chatting in the room, but in fact they were listening to the conversation between their sister and Qing Lang outside. Hearing his sister's words, his face was moved.
But if he could hear Long Baoer's inner thoughts, he probably wouldn't think so.
A little brother love, but not much.
Thinking of this, the little girl cried and wanted to go back to find Xue Ting.
Qinglang quickly stretched out his hand to hug Long Bao'er back and whispered comforting, "Long Bao'er, Long Bao'er. I'm not selling your second brother, no! We will come back to pick him up later!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then burst out crying louder, "Wow, wow, wow, you took the second brother for granted! The senior brother is a bad person!"
Xue Ting was drinking tea and instantly choked and gushed out.
"What, what's wrong?" Miss Shi was secretly looking at Xue Ting's bewilderingly handsome face. She was suddenly stunned when she saw that this handsome young man suddenly sprayed tea.
But she was very good at making excuses for Xue Ting. She slapped the table and scolded, "Mr. Xue must not be used to drinking this kind of tea. Why don't you go make the best Biyunchunlai? This is worthy of Mr. Xue." "
Xue Ting was a little shocked when he heard this. He had lost his composure when he heard his sister's words just now and was thinking of what to say to make up for it. Unexpectedly, Miss Shi had already made an excuse for him.
Xue Ting quickly regained his composure and nodded, "Thank you, Miss Shi."
Outside, Long Baoer had been carried away by Qinglang covering his mouth. As for how to make this little ancestor happy and not cry, that was Qinglang's own business.
Xue Ting and Miss Shi were quite involved in the conversation, and the conversation was quite speculative.
During the years when Xue Ting was struggling, he spent all his time studying in order to pass the time. He was originally very smart and good at reading. In the past few years, he has been immersed in it. It can be said that he has read a lot of books. Especially the Chang family and the Xue family have a large collection of books, which also makes Xue Ting very knowledgeable.
And this Miss Shi seemed to have learned some things very deeply through the guidance of a great scholar, and both of them admired each other for a while.
However, Xue Ting did not forget the purpose of his stay. After getting closer to Miss Shi, he asked for the information he wanted to know in casual conversation without leaving any trace.
On the other side, Qinglang covered Long Baoer's mouth and led him out of the magistrate's office. After walking another street, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Junior sister, we can't delay Brother Xue's affairs." Qinglang said.
Not only was it something Xue Ting wanted to inquire about, but Qing Lang had a hunch that this matter might also be related to what his master and Ma Daoye were coming to investigate.
At this time, Long Baoer stopped crying. Qinglang explained a lot to him along the way. Chang Yi also held her little hand, "Don't worry, sister, the second brother is fine. He has big things to do when he stays there."
I carried Long Bao'er back to the inn where I stayed yesterday. I first asked the waiter to bring out hot water and wiped Long Bao'er's face carefully.
The waiter looked sad, "Who is that?"
"Waiter, come in, I want to ask you something." Qinglang took out a piece of broken silver worth about two taels and stuffed it into the waiter's pocket.
The waiter's eyes widened when he looked at the piece of silver, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Even though it was only two taels of silver, as a waiter, his salary for half a year was not that much. Before, it was because Xue Ting gave him a piece of silver as a reward that he would remind this group of people a few more words. Now that he saw such a big piece, the waiter immediately understood.
After entering, he closed the door and said in a low voice, "Sir, you can ask whatever you want. But I'll tell you what I'm talking about up front. There are some things that I don't dare to talk too much about."
"Okay, you can just say what I want to ask you. If you can't ask me, I won't force it, and I won't ask for the money back." Qinglang relieved the waiter first, and then sat down, "I sent someone yesterday Who is the person who came to take us away?"
The waiter picked up the teacup and poured a cup for Qinglang with the teapot in his hand, "This, that is Miss Shi, the apple of the eye of Lord Prefect Shi!"
