Chapter 480 Little Su Bao panicked and hurriedly shook her head.
After all, this necklace is the least valuable piece of jewelry.
Moreover, it was a defective product.
When the shopkeeper saw the little dumpling choose this item, he couldn't help but want to just give the necklace away as an extra.
After all, this little girl is so cute and so pitiful.
"Okay!" Tang Bugui sighed as he looked at his daughter's nervous little eyes.
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her father's voice.
"Boss, how much is this necklace?" Little Su Bao turned to look at the shopkeeper.
"This thing... costs fifty coins!"
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Su Bao and spoke.
"Daddy, I like this one, this is the one!" Little Su Bao immediately turned to Tang Bugui and said excitedly.
Fifty coins shouldn't bankrupt my father, right?
After all, she had heard Brother Ling talk a lot about how her father was poor.
He also said that his father was reluctant to exchange bitter tea seeds for the bitter tea seeds in order to save money for the army!
Little Su Bao clenched her fists, thinking that she would go and buy a lot of bitter tea seeds for her father later!
The shopkeeper's heart softened when he heard what Xiao Su Bao said.
He only spent fifty coins to acquire this necklace.
I only did it because I felt sorry for that child. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the fifty coins, not even if it were given to me for free.
He usually gave this necklace to his daughter to play with.
It must have been my daughter who put this coral necklace in these boxes while she was playing with it!
"However, since the young lady just bought 180 taels of silver worth of goods from our house, this can be considered a bonus!"
The shopkeeper had already noticed Xiao Su Bao's distressed expression, and thinking of this, the smile on the shopkeeper's face grew even wider.
"Really? No money needed?" Little Su Bao exclaimed excitedly.
Fifty coins is still money!
Back then, in order to buy medicine for her mother, she kowtowed to Lan Xin'er repeatedly.
She only gave herself ten coins.
But Mother's medicine was too strong; ten coins simply couldn't buy it...
In the end, the little dumpling could only use ten coins to buy five meat buns to take back and share with her mother.
Fifty coins—if I had had them back then, I could have bought three days' worth of medicine for my mother.
"Really! This necklace wasn't worth much to begin with!"
The shopkeeper spoke with a smile.
Little Su Bao carefully hugged the necklace and looked happily at her father.
This is a gift from my father!
Although it's free...
But I'm still very happy!
The Third Prince and Zhou Zhenghai, who were standing to the side, both looked at Tang Bugui, their disdain evident in their eyes.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly, and was about to speak when he heard the Third Prince's voice: "Shopkeeper, bring out all your new jewelry designs for this year!"
The shopkeeper's face immediately lit up with joy.
He quickly took out two more boxes from the bottom of the box.
"Young master, all of our jewelry is the latest design this year; it's one of a kind in the entire capital!"
Zhou Zhenghai also came over.
He does have some family wealth...
He glanced at Tang Bugui, then, as if remembering something, immediately said to the shopkeeper, "This plate is all good. How much is it, shopkeeper?"
"This plate is this year's new product, totaling three thousand two hundred and forty-eight taels!" the shopkeeper said after calculating the bill.
Zhou Zhenghai glanced at them and saw that they were all hairpins and similar items used by women, and the prices were quite reasonable.
"Okay, wrap up the whole plate."
Zhou Zhenghai acted quickly, while the Third Prince frowned slightly and selected two plates from the remaining ones: "This plate of bracelets and this plate of necklaces, I'll take them all!"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed; today was a day of great success.
"This totals five thousand two hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver. I'll round it down for you; five thousand two hundred and eighty taels of silver will do!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at the Third Prince.
The Third Prince didn't hesitate and had someone give him the silver.
Little Su Bao clutched her chest, feeling a bit short of breath!
So not everyone in the capital is as poor as the Lan family?
She clearly asked Xiao Zhou for a tael of silver, but Xiao Zhou was reluctant to part with it, saying that she and her mother were money-losing goods!
"To thank Miss Su Bao for the gift she just gave me, I'll give all of these things to her too!"
The Third Prince was a fraction faster than Zhou Zhenghai this time, and his gaze towards Xiao Su Bao held a hint of a smile.
Little Su Bao blinked, a look of surprise on her face.
So much silver?
It wouldn't even be worth selling yourself!
Little Su Bao panicked and quickly shook her head.
If such a big meat pie fell, as my mother would say, it would crush me to death!
"No, no, Su Bao doesn't want to!"
Little Su Bao was so frightened that she clung tightly to Tang Bugui, not daring to look him in the eye.
The Third Prince was amused by the little dumpling's timid appearance!
It was only five thousand two hundred taels of silver, which, while not a small amount, wasn't a huge sum either.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's terrified expression, the Third Prince couldn't help but glance at Tang Bugui.
My older brother must have been abusing the little dumpling!
Otherwise, how could the little girl be so naive and unsophisticated?
Tang Bugui...
He doesn't need to spend any money in Tangjia Village!
After they came out, they were so busy getting on their way that they didn't have time to spend any money!
After arriving in the capital, he went straight to Beijing; he didn't have time to spend money!
so……
Tang Bugui didn't explain, he only said, "Shopkeeper, please..."
Before Tang Bugui could finish speaking, Xiao Subao covered his mouth.
"Daddy, be good, we don't want it. When Su Bao earns money in the future, we'll sell it all to you, okay?" Little Su Bao blinked her eyes and said to Tang Bugui as if coaxing a child.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly.
As Tang Bugui listened to his daughter's words, the smile on his face deepened.
"Then Father's money will all go to Su Baohua!" Tang Bugui's gentle voice made the Third Prince and Zhou Zhenghai almost think that the person in front of them was not Tang Bugui!
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Little Su Bao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Okay!"
Father has no money, but she has some, so she can give him some money when the time comes!
When Xiao Su Bao thought of this, she immediately stopped worrying.
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he turned and left.
The shopkeeper gave Tang Bugui a resentful look, but still happily released him.
After all, I made a fortune today!
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's smile deepened.
The Third Prince and Zhou Zhenghai simply had their subordinates deliver the items they bought to General Tang's residence.
Little Su Bao doesn't know any of these things yet.
The group left the Golden Pavilion. The Third Prince and Zhou Zhenghai continued to follow Tang Bugui, while Su Shan, standing to the side, touched his nose, looking a little annoyed.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to learn more about his two children.
Now that there are two more big light bulbs, he instantly became unhappy.
When Su Shan looked at the Third Prince and Zhou Zhenghai for the third time with resentment, the two of them also looked at him.
"General Su, are you alright? If it's really serious, I'll have the imperial physician take a look at you."
The Third Prince glanced at Su Shan and said quietly.
Su Shan paused. What could he say? He couldn't very well say that he wanted to talk to Tang Bugui and the others about something else!
Su Shan sighed, and finally simply walked to the front and joined Tang Si.
Tang Si...
"Um, you just said that Su Ruanruan was here too. Did she go to see her nephew and niece?"
Su Shan looked at Tang Si expectantly, hoping to hear something from him.
However, Tang Si shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not very familiar with Miss Su!"
Su Shan...
That's true, it's quite difficult to get to know my younger sister.
Su Shan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling somewhat eager to go find his daughter and son.
"Then you've seen... Lin Wan!"
Su Shan thought for a moment, then asked a question.
Tang Si paused for a moment, his gaze towards Su Shan somewhat complicated.
That Lin Wan is really stupid!
Thinking about what Lin Wan had done, Tang Si didn't hold back and spoke directly.
After hearing Tang Si's words, Su Shan's lips twitched, and his face turned ugly.
In the end, he couldn't utter a single word.
Forget it, I'll just pretend I don't know some things!
"Thank you!"
Su Shan patted Tang Si on the shoulder before turning to Tang Bugui and asking, "Brother Tang, how long would it take to get to Tang Family Village from here by fast horse?"
Tang Bugui's lips twitched, and he glanced at his brother with disdain.
What are you going to the village for?
Su Shan looked at Tang Bugui, his brows furrowed: "Of course he's here to see me..."
He paused slightly, then suddenly remembered that the child seemed to have been arranged by Fulin to stay in Lan County.
If that's the case, I still need to go to Lan County!
"The two children are now being cared for by wet nurses at the charity hall arranged by Master Fu. Originally, Su Ruanruan wanted to bring the children to the village, but because of Lin Wan's matter, she only gave Fu Lin some money and sent a maid to take care of them!"
Tang Bugui glanced at Su Shan, paused, and said, "Both children are currently quite healthy. If you had returned a little later, you should have received the letter!"
Su Shan smiled bitterly, but in the end there was nothing he could do; some things were beyond his control.
He wanted to see the child!
"Brother Su, go see my father. If he knows about this, he should be able to grant you leave!"
The Third Prince naturally knew about Lin Wan's situation and immediately looked at Su Shan with some sympathy.
"That Lin Wan is a scoundrel, but don't worry, when you return to the capital, I'll have my mother find you someone!" The Third Prince patted Su Shan on the shoulder.
In fact, Su Shan was unaware that many people in the capital were keeping an eye on him!
After all, the Su family has always had a good reputation. Su family men only marry one wife, and they will only take a concubine if they are thirty years old and have no children.
Su Shan sighed and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Third Prince: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but... let's forget about it!"
If you really have a son and a daughter, it's best not to harm others.
The Third Prince glanced at Su Shan, but ultimately said nothing more. After all, this matter had to be based on mutual consent!
Su Shan didn't stay any longer; he needed to ask His Majesty for leave!
Tang Bugui did not try to stop Su Shan from leaving.
He was a little unhappy about taking his daughter out shopping with so many people around.
"Uncle Su, wait a minute!" Little Su Bao suddenly called out to Su Shan.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at his daughter.
Her daughter sounded a little anxious!
Su Shan turned to look at Xiao Su Bao, still feeling grateful to her for saving his two children.
Xiao Su Bao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Shan and said, "Uncle Su, if... if possible, could you please go to the west of the city and help me find someone?"
Little Su Bao racked her brains for a moment and finally came up with a lame excuse.
She remembered that her brother Api lived in the west of the city, but she didn't know if he was still there!
No, now is not the time to think about this!
Little Su Bao looked at Su Shan and cautiously asked again, "Is it okay?"
“Okay!” Su Shan looked at Xiao Su Bao, was taken aback at first, and then laughed.
"It's just about finding someone. Tell me, what's that person's name?"
Su Shan looked at Xiao Su Bao with genuine affection in her eyes.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then said, "Call me Api, Chen Api!"
Little Su Bao paused for a moment before saying, "Uncle Su, when you get to the west of the city, ask under the big locust tree!"
Xiao Su Bao thought of what she had just seen and said to Su Shan.
Su Shan nodded with a smile.
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, just as Tang Bugui and the Third Prince witnessed this scene.
Tang Bugui blocked Xiao Su Bao, and Zhou Zheng Hai, who was standing to the side, was blocked by the Third Prince and Tang Si, so he couldn't see anything.
Tang Bugui patted Xiao Su Bao's head and then said, "Wu Feng, let's go with General Su!"
Wu Feng was Tang Bugui's subordinate, and he was extremely skilled, but he had to step down because he had injured one of his eyes.
Otherwise, he would probably still be fighting and killing enemies.
"yes!"
Wufeng responded and turned to leave.
Xiao Su Bao looked at Wu Feng and saw that there was no black aura on him, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt that her little tummy was hungry again!
The little dumpling twitched its nose slightly and smelled a delicious aroma.
"The roast duck at Ya Bao Lou is ready!" Zhou Zhenghai's eyes lit up immediately.
Tang Bugui looked into Xiao Su Bao's bright eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Brother, let's go try the roast duck at Ya Bao Lou!" The Third Prince, standing nearby, also looked on with great interest.
Little Su Bao glanced at Ya Bao Lou and was slightly taken aback. She had been here once before with the mute old woman!
It seems to be because of the restaurant owner's daughter; she apparently got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a child!
But they didn't dare ask anyone else, so they could only ask Brother Api to find the mute old woman through someone else.
The mute old woman saved the lives of many pregnant women and women in labor.
But back then they went through the back door...
This was the first time Xiao Su Bao had entered through the main entrance of Ya Bao Lou.
As soon as you walk in, you see a huge oven baking in the very center.
A unique fragrance wafted towards us.
"It smells so good!" Little Su Bao couldn't help but exclaim.
Little Su Bao also subconsciously swallowed.
"Of course, this is our family's signature product. You must be from out of town!"
A clear, crisp voice came from behind.
Little Su Bao subconsciously looked over...
I do recognize her. This young lady seems to be the younger sister of the woman who gave birth.
However, this girl didn't really like him at the time...
However, even though she didn't like herself, when she saw the duck legs that others had left over, she still went to the kitchen and got herself a whole roast duck.
That was the first time Xiao Su Bao had ever eaten roast duck, and she thought it was the best roast duck in the world.
Hello, miss!
Little Su Bao greeted the little girl with a cute, chubby voice.
The little girl glanced at Xiao Su Bao, then frowned, but still said, "Hello, little brother, by the way, how many guests are here?"
The little girl had clear eyes and looked very skilled.
However, once everyone entered, they discovered that there were hardly any people in the entire Ya Bao Lou.
There was only a large table of people on the side, but they all looked rather fierce.
Logically speaking, Ya Bao Lou is a famous restaurant, and it should be quite crowded, if not packed!
But now...
"We've booked the whole place; you'd better get out now!"
Just then, a man who looked like a thug spoke up to them.
The little girl's face instantly turned very ugly.
She clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Little Su Bao looked at the older girl, then at the other people.
"Daddy...they are all bad people!" Little Su Bao glared at them angrily.
Before Tang Bugui could even speak, he could feel the unfriendly gazes directed at Xiao Subao.
Just then, a young man who looked like a playboy stepped forward. He glanced at the group and casually said, "I've booked this place for today. If you want roast duck, I can deliver it to you, but you can't dine in!"
The young master glanced at the person beside him, who immediately reached for the roast duck without saying a word.
"What are you doing? This is my family's restaurant, not yours. You're not allowed to touch it!" The girl was anxious and rushed over to block them.
Her father is seriously ill, and her sister is at a loss because her nephew is sick. Now she is the only one who can make decisions in the family.
The little girl held on and didn't cry, but she stubbornly stood in front of that group of people.
It was as if they would fight to the death if they came any closer!
Little Su Bao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart for no apparent reason!
This scene reminded me of the time when I stood in front of the mute old woman!
They all said that the mute old woman was dead and wanted to take her away, but she didn't believe it and stood firmly in front of her.
Back then, she was starving and freezing, and she couldn't possibly fight against those people.
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, her body trembling slightly.
"Su Bao!" Tang Bugui was holding little Su Bao when he sensed something was wrong with the girl and his brows furrowed.
Little Su Bao recovered, took a deep breath, and then said, "Daddy, Su Bao is fine... but Su Bao wants to help that girl!"
Little Su Bao looked at the little girl, her little fists clenched tightly.
She didn't want to cause trouble for her father.
But looking at the helpless little girl, I couldn't help but think of my own past.
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand how painful it is.
Tang Bugui looked at his daughter, his eyes still filled with tenderness.
"good!"
Tang Bugui curled his lips into a smile.
In Kyoto, apart from the Emperor and Empress, there seemed to be no one he dared not offend!
(Emperor: Heh, who was it that pretended to be dead last time? You're not just afraid to mess with me, you're trying to drive me crazy!)
"Young boss, are these people guests?"
Tang Bugui suddenly spoke, immediately breaking the atmosphere on the other side.
Everyone was slightly taken aback and looked at Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui remained unfazed and continued to look at the little girl.
The little girl looked to be at most seven or eight years old. She was wearing a light blue cotton jacket and had her hair tied in two small buns. She looked quite cute.
But at this moment, her cute little face froze slightly.
Although she wanted someone to stand up for them, she was more worried about implicating others.
"This man is the prime minister's nephew; you'd better not confront them head-on!"
The little girl sighed, and finally couldn't help but speak to Tang Bugui and the others.
Prime Minister...
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up instantly, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Now that you know our young master's identity, you'd better leave immediately and stop getting in our way!"
A burly man gave Tang Bugui and his group a disdainful look and said.
In his opinion, these people were dressed plainly and wore masks, and it was obvious that they were afraid to be seen by others.
"Bang..." In the next instant, the sweaty man was kicked away without even seeing who it was.
Hong Yue stood sweetly in front of the young girl in the restaurant, and even reached out to pinch the girl's cheek.
The little girl quickly covered her face, her eyes wide open.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"Don't be afraid, little sister, I'll protect you!" Hong Yue winked at the little girl and gave her a bright smile.
The little girl blushed and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you going against the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The young master narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Bugui with ill intent.
"Can you represent Prime Minister Liu?" Tang Bugui turned his head to look at the young master.
Despite wearing a mask, Tang Bugui exudes an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Liu Lin's heart tightened slightly, but then he became even angrier.
In the entire capital, who would dare speak of their uncle like that?
His face was grim, and he spoke in an icy voice, "That's my business. You're showing absolutely no respect for the Prime Minister's residence, so don't blame us..."
"I'm so scared..." Hong Yue immediately hid behind Tang Bugui, revealing a pair of pitiful eyes.
"Sis, if you keep doing this, I'm going to hit someone!"
Hong Qing couldn't take it anymore, clenched her fists, and said fiercely.
Liu Lin's expression changed slightly. These people were actually martial arts practitioners. Could they really have some kind of identity?
He felt somewhat irritated, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"May I ask which prefecture you gentlemen are from?" Liu Lin asked Tang Bugui directly.
Tang Bugui looked at him for a while, then said, "Since you can't represent Liu Yong, then get out!"
When he said the last word, Tang Bugui covered Xiao Su Bao's ears.
Those petty thugs who had never experienced murderous intent were instantly startled.
They all turned to look at Tang Bugui, their eyes filled with fear.
Little Su Bao looked up and saw that her father's mask was about to fall off.
Before the mask could fall off, Xiao Su Bao instantly reached out and covered it with her hand.
Tang Bugui felt the strength of his daughter's hand, and his nose started to hurt a little...
"You... let's go!" Liu Lin's face darkened, and without caring about anything else, he led his men away in a dejected manner.
Once they reached the door, and were certain that Tang Bugui and his men wouldn't follow, they said, "I'd like to see how long you can protect them!"
"Bang!"
Tang Bugui grabbed an iron hook and swung it out.
The iron hook pierced straight through Liu Lin's trousers.
Liu Lin's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and his whole body began to tremble.
I was so close to losing my little brother!
"You...you..."
Liu Lin's face was extremely pale; he was almost scared to death.
"So short!" Hong Yue spat and whispered.
Hong Qing quickly covered her older sister's mouth and eyes.
This is on the street!
Hong Yue curled her lips. She was originally from a brothel, so what length and thickness hadn't she seen?
It's just a piece of trash!
"Miss, are you alright?"
Little Su Bao looked at the pretty young lady who was still in a daze, and waved her little hand in front of the little girl in Ya Bao Lou.
"I...I'm fine!"
The little girl came to her senses and took a slight breath.
The little girl was stunned, unsure of what she had just seen, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief, after all, the young lady still owed her a favor by giving her a duck!
After a pause, the girl took a deep breath and walked up to the group of people.
"Thank you all. I am Ya Ying, the young owner of Ya Bao Lou." Ya Ying bowed slightly to everyone, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Before Tang Bugui and the others could speak, Ya Ying continued, "You should leave here quickly. Those people definitely won't let you go. Don't offend them for our sake... it's not worth it!"
By the end, Ya Ying had clenched her fists.
"We're here to eat, little sister!" Hong Yue approached and immediately reached out to pat the little girl's head.
She couldn't masturbate her own daughter's head, so she could only masturbate this little girl's to satisfy her craving.
"you……"
Ya Ying wanted to say something, but then she felt her hand being grabbed.
It's that little brother...
"Sister, Su Bao is hungry, can I eat?" Little Su Bao asked Ya Ying pitifully.
Ya Ying was slightly taken aback, then sighed.
It wasn't that she didn't want to feed the little girl, it's just...
After thinking of something, Ya Ying finally nodded.
After letting a few people in, she simply closed the door.
It looks like there won't be any guests today, after all, that guy was shouting at the door for a long time!
Ya Ying sighed, but quickly cheered up.
"You guys do it, I'll go get the roast duck for you!"
After Ya Ying finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and went to get the roast duck from the oven.
They were stopped as soon as they set off.
"How can such a pretty young girl do such rough work? Leave this to me!"
Hong Qing stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and spoke to the little girl.
Ya Ying was stunned, and her nose felt sore.
Now there's no one in the family who can help me.
I made these roast ducks all by myself last night.
For some reason, hearing Hong Qing say that made her nose feel sore.
Xiao Su Bao held Ya Ying's hand and subconsciously asked, "How is your nephew now?"
Ya Ying was taken aback, clearly not expecting Xiao Su Bao to ask her nephew.
After all, because his sister hadn't gotten married, his father always told outsiders that the child was his son.
Ya Ying paused for a moment, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Xiao Su Bao and the others.
Are they here to ask for their family's secret recipe as well?
Ya Ying felt bitter inside and clenched her teeth tightly.
"Who exactly are you people?" Ya Ying even suspected that they might be accomplices of that man.
After all, she had heard of this kind of double act before.
"Don't be afraid, little girl, we are from General Tang's mansion!"
Just then, the Third Prince, who was standing to the side, smiled and spoke to the little girl.
Liu Yong has become increasingly reckless in recent years, and his current audacity has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Third Prince.
"General Tang's Mansion!" Ya Ying was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting to encounter someone from the General's Mansion.
After all, General Tang was not in the capital, and few people had seen him.
When he went through a ghost marriage, many people said he was out of his mind!
"This humble woman, Ya Ying, greets General Tang and all esteemed officials!"
The little girl quickly bowed in greeting.
Little Su Bao sighed as she looked at her sister.
She remembered that this older sister used to be very fierce, but now...
"Everyone, I roasted over twenty ducks yesterday, please take them all!"
She had heard her father say that General Tang had a huge appetite. He had once visited their home and ate six roast ducks!
However, she always felt that her father was exaggerating.
"You don't need to take out that much yet, just half. You still have someone in charge of cooking, so let them make a few more dishes!"
Tang Bugui looked at Ya Ying in front of him and spoke calmly.
Ya Ying was slightly taken aback, then said, "I was also trained by my father. I can cook. This is our signature dish. Everyone, please take a look and see what you would like to eat. I'll make it right away!"
Looking at everyone, Ya Ying felt a faint sense of anticipation rising in her heart.
