Oh, Jiang Hai probably understood. He had seen many such plots in novels, probably things like a gambler father selling his daughter, or selling himself to bury his father.
I didn't expect the capital to be like this. Jiang Hai, fanning himself, blended in with the onlookers, watching with gusto, eager to see if his guess was right. It felt like all he needed was a bag of sunflower seeds.
As a result, if you ask which will come first, the accident or tomorrow, generally speaking, if there are no unexpected events in the plot, the accident will come first.
The woman seemed to have transformed in an instant, and teleported to Jiang Hai at lightning speed and hugged his thigh.
"Sir, please save me."
"..." Jiang Hai was speechless for the second time. "No, girl, I'm just a bystander. Do you have any misunderstandings?"
Among the people present, Jiang Hai's attire was considered to be relatively outstanding. His clothes and accessories were all good items. No wonder the girl chose him to be her lover.
Yuchi Ziling raised an eyebrow and said, "Jiang Lang, the peach blossoms are flourishing."
"No, that person, Wugong." Jiang Hai turned around and wanted to borrow Wugong, "No, Wugong is not here."
"Then Wenzhi, Wen..." Jiang Hai looked at Wenzhi again, "Forget it, Wenzhi's words really make me feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Hai had no choice but to turn around and ask the burly men, "Brothers, what on earth is going on?"
One of them sighed and explained to Jiang Hai.
The story goes that this girl had a hard life. She was an embroiderer and had been supporting her lover to study for the imperial examinations. Later, she even borrowed money to accompany him to the capital to take the examinations. In the end, he passed the examinations and when the results were announced, he was spotted by a daughter of an official family, who married her into the family and abandoned her.
"What do you think about this? She borrowed the money. We can't just starve because her husband doesn't care about her. We have no choice but to bring her to the brothel. If we didn't feel sorry for her, she might have been sold to a brothel if she were from another family."
"Oh, it seems I was wrong." Jiang Hai shook his head, regretting his wrong guess just now.
Several people around looked at Jiang Hai in confusion. Yuchi Ziling looked puzzled.
"What do you mean you're wrong? What else are you thinking?"
Jiang Hai then explained to Yuchi Ziling his earlier guess about the gambler selling his daughter and selling himself to bury his father.
"So, while someone is trying to curry your favor, you still have the mood to play the guessing game?" Yuchi Ziling held her forehead with one hand, looking at Jiang Hai's unique train of thought with admiration.
The girl hugging the legs on the ground suddenly looked a little ugly. She must have made a wrong judgment and hugged a fool. This didn't seem like the reaction of a normal person.
Jiang Hai looked at Yuchi Ziling and asked, "What should we do?"
"You decide."
"Then let's go."
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he tried hard to pull his legs away from the girl's vicious hand.
This scene was completely confusing. The people around cast contemptuous glances at him. Even Yuchi Ziling couldn't stand it anymore.
"Are you really going to watch someone die without helping?"
"So you mean saved?"
Yuchi Ziling nodded, "The girl is quite pitiful, so I'll help her if I can."
"Okay, big brother, how much is owed?" Jiang Hai asked the strong man present.
"Twenty taels, even that might not be enough to sell to a pawnshop. These days, a strong laborer gets less than ten taels each. If this girl wasn't a bit pretty, she wouldn't even be able to sell for ten taels, let alone twenty."
"Okay." Jiang Hai took out his purse, opened it and looked, "Oh, no change."
"..." Everyone around wanted to spit at this rich idiot. 20 taels was just change, enough for an average person to spend for more than two years.
Jiang Hai looked at Wen Zhi. Wen Zhi shook his head, "The silver is with Qin Bai. I forgot to get it from him."
Jiang Hai looked at Yuchi Ziling again, and Yuchi Ziling looked at Cai'er helplessly. Cai'er covered her purse with a look of horror, "Son-in-law, what are you trying to do?"
"..." Jiang Hai now found that this girl was not so fun. She was both greedy and picky. "Take the money. What else can I do to a little girl like you?"
Cai'er reluctantly took out 20 taels. This rich young woman had saved hundreds of taels on the road, and now she felt so distressed to take out 20 taels. Jiang Hai was really speechless.
After taking the silver, Jiang Hai exchanged it for an IOU from the strong man. He gave the IOU to the girl and got up and left.
Yuchi Ziling followed Jiang Hai and fanned the flames.
"Hey, why don't you take me in? Look at how delicate and weak I am. Isn't that nice?"
Jiang Hai glared at her unhappily, "Are you looking for a fight? You're even insulting me."
"Oh, Jiang Lang turns out to be a gentleman. I never knew."
"Hmph, there are still many things you can't see." Jiang Hai shook his folding fan and continued walking with a proud look on his face.
However, the girl behind them just followed them quietly without saying anything.
After a long time, Jiang Hai turned around and asked,
"Girl, we've solved this problem for you. Just go wherever you want. You don't have to follow us all the time."
"Sir, I'm unfamiliar with the place and don't know where to go."
"Nonsense! How can you borrow money from those people when you're a stranger there? There's really no need to follow me. You're already free."
"My lord is kind-hearted, and I want to serve you. The unfaithful man brought me to borrow the money."
Here it comes, I've got the point. Yuchi Ziling raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Hai, her meaning was very clear, let's see if you can accept it.
Jiang Hai took Yuchi Ziling's hand and said to the girl,
"Really, no need. Look, I have a wife."
"I can be your concubine."
"..." Jiang Hai shook his head and said righteously, "I won't take a concubine."
"But I really don't know where else to go."
"Go home, your parents are waiting for you."
"I have no home, I'm an orphan." The girl shed two lines of tears, "In my early years in the county town, I was able to survive thanks to the care of the lady in the showroom, but now I can't go back."
Jiang Hai couldn't help but sigh at this cannibalistic era. Yuchi Ziling no longer teased Jiang Hai about this matter. This girl was really pitiful. She was really afraid of marrying the wrong man. She followed such a despicable person and now she couldn't even go back.
Jiang Hai calmed himself down and pulled Wenzhi's badge. Wenzhi was a little confused. Why did he pull his badge for no reason?
"Take this sign and go to the Jiang residence on Fushan Street. Find the steward, Uncle Hao, and ask him to find you a job there. It's up to you whether you want to stay at the Jiang residence or return home."
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he handed Wenzhi's badge to the girl.
"Hong'er thanks you very much, sir." The girl kowtowed to him with great emotion.
"No, no, no, get up, we don't do this," Jiang Hai hated people bowing to him at every turn.
"Also, call me Young Master. Handsome guy is fine too, or if that doesn't work, pretty boy is also good." Jiang Hai opened his folding fan and showed off his self-esteem.
"Thank you, Master."
