The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 59 The witty brother-in-law (1)
When Ajiao came back to her senses, Linglong had already been taken away.

As for Ruyi and Jinse, they also walked out sensibly.

After a while, Linglong's miserable cry came from the courtyard.

Ajiao shrank her neck, her body trembling.She didn't know why Shi Ziye would speak for her, but even so, she was not sure if Shi Ziye was angry or not.

Xiao Heng lifted up his robe and sat down, looking at the little girl standing respectfully in front of him, he was both angry and funny, but finally he just said lightly: "For 200 taels of jewelry, you can make it for 80 taels... How about your usual shrewdness?"

Ajiao's face was reddened by the words, and she said very naturally: "Your maidservant is doing a job."

Xiao Heng bent his lips suddenly, and asked again: "You mean——plan to redeem it?"

Ajiao looked up at the man's face, feeling that he might not be angry, so she boldly replied: "These jewels were rewarded by the son of the world, and slaves should take good care of them. If it wasn't for urgent matters, I wouldn't pawn them. It's just...it's just that the servants may not come, but at least there is still hope." She is not a person who is overwhelmed, but she is still young, and it is not certain if she has money in the future.

Xiao Heng's complexion softened a little because he attached so much importance to the jewelry he gave.He knew that she was not a money-grubbing person, and he thought that she had encountered some trouble, so he asked, "But something happened at home?"

Ajiao had been thinking about going home on leave today with his elder son, but unexpectedly, such a trouble happened. After hearing this, he dared not hide anything, and said honestly: "The father of the servant girl was drunk and accidentally injured me. I need 100 taels of silver urgently.”

He knew that she was a filial girl, so he was not surprised by what she said, but he didn't speak, and continued to listen to her.

"...I haven't been home for three years. I wanted to ask my son to take a few days off. I didn't expect... I didn't expect this to alarm my son." At the end of the sentence, the tone faded away.

Seeing the little girl's apologetic expression, Xiao Heng frowned, and only asked, "Where is your home?"

Ajiao didn't expect the son to ask this question, so he answered truthfully: "It's a small village outside the city called 'Wannan Village'. I'm afraid the son has never heard of it."

Of course he knew this.After hearing this, Xiao Heng didn't mention the matter of pawning the ticket again, and only said: "Mr. Han told me that the plum blossom wine in Wannan Village is good..." He found a serious reason, paused and continued, "Since you want to go home, I will go home with you tomorrow."

Ajiao was ecstatic when he heard that.Afterwards, he felt a little strange, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and hurriedly looked up at Shi Ziye and said, "Shi Zi...follow me...?"

"Why? No?" Xiao Heng asked back.

"No...not." Ajiao shook her head quickly.

Although the son of the eldest son is cold-tempered, he has always been generous and kind to his servants, and today he doesn't know what mistake Linglong made, and after receiving twenty boards, he was directly kicked out of the mansion.

But this also made Jitangxuan's servants understand that the Shizi still has a temper.

Xing Yao secretly sweated for A Jiao, but then gloated and said: "Who made her keep running on you, now it's better, digging a hole and burying herself, she deserves it!"

For the generosity of the son, Ajiao was flattered.It's just that what she's most worried about right now is that the Shizi will go home with her.

Ajiao was a little worried.

How could she not know what was going on in her family.The son of the world is usually pampered, how can they afford to serve him?

But soon Ajiao knew that Shi Ziye was more kind than she imagined.

Although he was going to her house, it was as if he was visiting a relative, and he asked the bamboo sheng to prepare a gift in a serious manner.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the two left the mansion.

The snow has stopped today, and there is still thick snow on the road.Due to the difficulty of the road, the speed of the carriage was also deliberately slowed down. After all, it is not a trivial matter to skid and roll over.
