The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 260 Shen Shichang

"Let's go." Bai Jingwen said after preparing the bank notes.

"Catch the thief." At this moment, a little girl in front shouted, and Bai Jingwen looked up and saw a tattered boy in his teens being chased by a driver.

"Master, do we want it?" Mei Xiang wanted to rush out to stop her, but she stopped and asked Bai Jingwen. She had forgotten that she was warned the last time she made her own way.

"I've made progress, go ahead and bring that kid here." Bai Jingwen squinted at the kid and nodded.

"Is there anything special about him?" Qi Ru asked curiously as if she saw a prey.

"You have good muscles and bones, you are waiting here." Bai Jingwen walked in after finishing speaking.

At this time, Mei Xiang had already rushed over quickly and blocked the boy's way, standing there in a stalemate.

"Look at your young age, you really don't learn well, and see if I don't beat you to death." The coachman twisted his horse face and chased after him, shouting and turning the whip in his hand to whip him.

"You can't escape, give them what you stole." Mei Xiang grabbed the coachman's whip and said to the boy struggling desperately in her hands.

"I don't, my sister will die if I don't have any more money." The boy raised his head and stared at her stubbornly with red eyes and roared.

"Listen to her, and I'll give you money?" Bai Jingwen came over and said softly.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The boy stared at Bai Jingwen and said unkindly. In the past six months in the capital, he had seen the faces of those rich people clearly. No one really wanted to help them, unless he wanted to take advantage of them. them.

"Let's talk after we give it to him. No matter how the discussion goes, I will give you ten taels of silver to let you buy food and clothes." Bai Jingwen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this kid to be a sensible person, so she simply went to the point of understanding.

"Here you are." The boy was moved when he saw that there was no fluctuation in her eyes. As long as he could let his sister grow up safely, he would sell himself. After thinking about it, he threw the delicate purse in his hand to the driver.

"Yes." The coachman was interrupted by Bai Jingwen as soon as he opened his mouth and said, "He is still a child and he is not a professional stealing and killing them all?"

"Hmph, you're lucky today." The coachman saw that Mei Xiang's skills were not easy, gave the boy a glance and turned away.

"What's your name? Where's your adult?" Bai Jingwen asked directly after seeing the kid calm down.

"My name is Shen Shichang. My father and mother died for us on the way to escape from the drought in my hometown this summer. Now only my sister and I are left to depend on each other. But my sister was also sick a few days ago and I'm afraid she will die." The boy said halfway. Then shed tears.

"Have you ever read?" Bai Jingwen asked in surprise when she heard him speak clearly and methodically.

"Well, my father is the master of our village school, and I have learned from him since I was a child." Shen Shichang nodded and replied.

"Then why don't you find an errand in the capital?" Mei Xiang asked in amazement, knowing that literate people are very popular in this era, why did you get mixed up for this reason.

"Either you think I'm young, or you think I have a younger sister, and I'm not willing to sell myself." Shen Shichang replied with his head bowed in shame.

"Mei Xiang, take him to buy some clothes and food, and then ask a doctor to go back to see his sister. If he wants to sell himself, take him to the mansion to find me." Bai Jingwen handed Mei Xiang a silver ingot of ten taels and said.

"Okay." Mei Xiang said regretfully, she would have known better if she hadn't saved this kid, and finally lost a chance to go shopping.

"Okay, let's go, I'll give you a day off tomorrow." Bai Jingwen said helplessly as she tapped her head.

"Let's go, kid. You're welcome to tell me what to eat." Mei Xiang immediately dragged him forward happily.

Bai Jingwen smiled and shook her head, but she saw the young woman whose purse was stolen just now was still standing there, so she took a serious look only to find that it was Fang Jinyu who was a little fat.

The previous Crown Prince An Ning was dead, even if she entered the An Ning Hou Mansion, she might not have a good life. Could it be that she remarried? Bai Jingwen turned around with doubts, met Li Shi and others, and then walked towards the silver building.

"This business is really booming." After entering the door, Mrs. Li saw a crowd of people standing in front of the counter and couldn't help feeling.

The shopkeeper Mei Chengyu noticed them before they entered the door, not because of how well they were dressed, but because of the sparkling diamond earrings of various colors on the ears of the three of them, no matter the workmanship or the material, she had never seen them before.

She stepped forward with curiosity and asked with a smile: "Little lady Mei Chengyu welcomes you all. The boutiques are all upstairs, do you want to take a look?"

"Boss Mei is polite, please lead the way." Bai Jingwen looked into her calm and gentle eyes and replied with a smile.

"Madam please." After Mei Chengyu finished speaking, she stepped up first.
