Chapter 35 A Prophecy

When we got back to the shop, Mrs. Wang had already lay down and fell asleep.Zhao Chunfang's push didn't hurt her muscles, but left a lot of bruises.

Seeing nothing serious, Meng Xiaosuo didn't go into Linglong Space to find Mr. Mu, but went to the pharmacy to buy some wound medicine and gave it to Zhang Bilan, asking her to apply it on the affected area for Mrs. Wang. The bruising should fade away.

"It's a good thing that the old lady is fine, otherwise you and Brother Huang would have gone all out with Aunt Zhao?" Zhang Bilan closed the door for Old Madam Wang, and said to Meng Xiaosuo with a look of fear on her face.

"Brother Huang?" Meng Xiaosuo didn't realize for a while, but Sister Zhang was addressing Uncle Zhao.

"Actually, it's okay to put the shop under Brother Huang's name. After all, the Ninth Young Master is not from Mengshan. If he goes back to Beijing in the future, this shop will lose its owner." Zhang Bilan thought about it.At first, she thought that Gu Zhiyuan was from a rich family nearby, but later she found out that he came from the capital.

Meng Xiaocoma suddenly remembered what Yun Feitian said before.Until now, her understanding of Gu Zhiyuan was limited to a name that she didn't know if it was true or not. Thinking about it carefully, she was too gullible in this person.

And this eldest sister is more credulous than herself.

Although Mrs. Wang and Uncle Huang are kind-hearted, they are a family after all, and Sister Zhang is an outsider. Moreover, Mrs. Wang is very hard-handed and very assertive in her actions.If the wine shop is recorded under Uncle Huang's name, if there is any change in the future, Sister Zhang may not be able to speak at all.

"Mrs. Wang and Uncle Huang are a family. At that time, I thought that it would be unfair to you if the shop was placed in Uncle Huang's hands, so I didn't do it." Meng Xiaosuo explained.

"This..." Sister Zhang suddenly understood a little bit, and her two slightly frowning willow eyebrows slowly relaxed, she nodded and said, "Sure enough, Xiao Comb is thoughtful. I can't think of these things with my brain." .”

Meng Xiaocom also nodded slightly: "Sister Zhang, you'd better not mention what I just said in front of the old lady and Uncle Huang."

Although some words are not bad, they cannot be said face to face, otherwise it is inevitable that people will not hear some other meanings.

"Of course." Zhang Bilan said with a smile.

"By the way, is everything settled here?" Meng Xiaosuo looked around and asked casually.On the upper floor of the shop, there are only three rooms in total.Mrs. Wang, Uncle Huang, and Sister Zhang live in one room.It seems that I still have to go to the Le Zhi Inn and cannot live with them.

"Don't worry, everything is settled. Brother Huang is a hardworking person. He made all the tables, chairs and benches in a day, and added a few new quilts." Zhang Bilan said.

Seeing what happened in the shop, Meng Xiaosuo didn't need to worry about it, so she handed her some loose silver: "When the wine shop opens, it is inevitable to buy some things, you take it just in case."

"How can this be done?" Zhang Bilan became impatient and waved her hands again and again, "I haven't touched the gold last time!"

"The gold is reserved for future use, you should keep the silver."

"Oh, if you do this again, Eldest Sister will turn against you."

One wants to give, and the other doesn't accept, and the two of them will play "Tai Chi" against each other.Meng Xiaoshu's martial arts are good, but when encountering this kind of thing, he felt a little headache, so he gave up for a long time, so he had to give up: "Okay, if you need any help, just go to Lezhi Inn and find me."

Zhang Bilan thanked her again, sent her all the way to the inn, and then went back to the shop on her little feet.

Back in the room, Meng Xiaosu tightly closed the door.From the Linglong space, he took out the gold bars stolen from Duan Tai last time, smashed them one by one, and planned to sneak them into the poor families nearby under the cover of night.

First, in the mountains, it is not convenient to use whole gold bars.If you run into that kind of brainless person, send them directly to the pawn shop to exchange for money, and you will only be caught as a thief and thrown into prison.In this way, wouldn't a good thing become a bad thing?

Second, the number of gold bars is limited, and there are only a few dozen in total. If each family gives one, it will add up to dozens of good deeds. In Meng Xiaocom's view, this is too bad.

After beating and beating for a while, the gold was finally broken into hundreds of pieces. I only need to keep a few pieces, and the rest can be used to help the poor.

Meng Xiaosuo didn't have night clothes or anything like that.Fortunately, ordinary Tsing Yi has the same effect in the night, and if it is covered with black cloth, it will be extremely difficult to be recognized by others.

There are only a few hundred households at the foot of Mengshan. This time, almost every household has been delivered, of course, except for those merchants with high walls and green tiles, and officials with small private wealth.

After working for half a night, Meng Xiaoshu felt exhausted all over, walking on the street, and suddenly found that she had come to the front of Duan's residence.

I don't know if Duan Tai, a corrupt official, stepped up his defense after knowing that the small treasury was stolen.

She was not in a hurry to steal it again, there were still many jade bracelets in the Linglong space, and she did not take them off.It's not that she doesn't want to sell it, but that the place is not big, there are only five pawnshops in total, and the owners should all be familiar with Duan Tai, once pawned, it's easy to be discovered.

The clouds were thick, there was no moonlight, and the air was hot and dry, as if a thunderstorm was brewing.

Meng Xiaosuo paused her feet, sat on the top of the wall, blowing the somewhat dull wind in the night, swept her gaze, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two familiar figures not far away.

Where she is, there is only a wall separated from Duan Tai's backyard.The two figures in the courtyard, one is Duan Tai and the other is Gu Zhiyuan, sitting opposite each other in the small pavilion, they are drinking again.

Thinking of the conversation he heard during the last burglary, Meng Xiaosuo walked closer by a ghost, sat on the ridge of the roof, and pricked up his ears.It's a pity that the originally dull wind gradually became manic, making the leaves rustling, covering the conversation between Gu Zhiyuan and Duan Tai.

Seeing that a heavy rain was coming, she had to hurry back to the inn.

In the middle of the night, of course you can't go through the main entrance.When I came out, I walked through the window, and when I went back, I followed the wall and entered through the window.

Yawning and lying on the bed, she inadvertently guessed the content of the conversation between Gu Zhiyuan and Duan Tai.Thinking about it, a trace of suspicion suddenly surged in his heart: "It's so late, and it's obviously going to rain, how can these two people have such a good mood to drink in the pavilion?"

Frowning and looking at the blurred ceiling in the darkness, the ceiling seems to have transformed into Gu Zhiyuan's flat face, with a wide forehead and long eyebrows, which can be regarded as full of heaven, and his eyes are unusually bright, but the corners of the eyes are slightly thinner, smiling When he got up, he looked like a woman from the side.

"As long as you don't tell the truth after drinking, it's fine to expose your identity. Otherwise, if Duan Tairuo knows that you are just a fake, I'm afraid I will be implicated as well." Muttering a few words to herself, Meng Xiaoshao Soon into the dream.

In any case, she never thought that her words would become a prophecy.
