Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

Jin Shu listened to her words, nodded her head in approval, and then said slowly: "I think Li Nanny must have heard Wu Cheng mention that I am quiet, and I don't like to let more people in the mansion on weekdays. As long as there are really one or two who have served the royal family and nobles, I am naturally willing to use them. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"I want those servants. It doesn't matter what they look like, but it's best to stay with those noble people for at least three years. I think these people are more transparent, and they know how to deal with many things without explaining them. They can help me Saved me a lot of trouble."

When Mrs. Li heard what Jinshu said, she couldn't help laughing to herself. Those ordinary merchants were all happy to buy the servants from the princess's mansion, but this person still thinks that these servants are not qualified enough. Veteran over the years.

I'm afraid Xie Sanniang is too picky!

The main reason is that although she is picky, she is definitely someone who can afford money, but she really doesn't have the kind of person she wants.

The Haikou that you just boasted about just now puts your face in front of others and makes people slap it, it's too embarrassing.

For a while, Mrs. Li really didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Mrs. Li hadn't answered for a long time, Jin Shu raised her head and glanced at her expression. Seeing her slumped face, she knew that she couldn't show such a person.

The excitement in Jin Shu's heart slowly subsided because of this.

"Mother Li, I hope you will forgive me for being picky and picky, which makes you embarrassed?"

Hearing that Jinshu took the initiative to put a dwarf on herself, most of the unhappiness in Li Pozi's heart disappeared, and she hurriedly took the words: "Where is it? Sanniang, you are too polite. It's just that there are really few such servants. I really can't find it for you in a while."

Jinshu smiled slightly at her, "Mother Li, I have Pingrui and Pingyue to take care of me now, and I can still get by so-so, so I'm not in a hurry. If there is a suitable one at that time, please You paid attention to me, I must be grateful."

After saying that, Jinshu took out a tael of silver and handed it to Granny Li, "Please take care of Li Nanny."

Knowing that this amount of money is a trivial matter for Jinshu, Nanny Li took it unceremoniously, nodded and bowed and said, "Naturally. If there is such a servant girl at that time, the old lady will be the first to come and talk to San Niang You speak."

For the sake of money, Mrs. Li's complaints about Jin Shu completely disappeared, and she kept praising Jin Shu as if she was putting oil on her lips.

Jin Shu picked up the words and answered her casually, until she saw that the other party had no words, she asked: "Mother Li, just now I heard that there are not a few people in Bianjing who have business dealings with you. The servants are also very familiar."

After chatting for a few words, Mrs. Li forgot the embarrassment just now, and began to boast: "Isn't that right? My business is based on human relationships. If I don't have some friendship with them, how can I do business. These people, when they think of buying Servant, you will be the first to think of me."

"Mother Li, I have a business here and I want to chat with you. I wonder if you are interested in making some money?"

When she heard that she could make money, Mrs. Li's face was full of smiles. She asked the reason with a smile, only to realize that the other party wanted me to introduce business to her pawn shop, and would give her some interest for every transaction.

Mrs. Li is well versed in the flamboyance of the servants of the rich and powerful families. Now that there is such a safe place for them to sell their stolen goods, it must be very attractive to these people. I can make a lot of money with just a few words Money, there is no reason to refuse such a good thing.

Afterwards, the two talked about many details, and basically determined how to divide the profits.

Mrs. Li saw the sky was getting late, but Jin Shu didn't intend to leave a meal, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

On the way home, Mrs. Li kept thinking about this strange Xie Sanniang. Even though she had seen countless people, she couldn't see through this person at all. It really shouldn't be.

But what surprised Mrs. Li even more was still behind.

By the way, a few days after Mrs. Li met Jin Shu, an official came to her suddenly and asked her to identify the person in the painting.

Looking at the people coming, Mrs. Li joked: "Hey, Brother Guancha, is this another big thief in Bianjing?"

She recalled that the last time officials arrested people with portraits all over the street was a few years ago. At that time, the robber led dozens of people and hijacked thousands of taels of silver from the government on the official road. People were arrested and brought to justice, which made the usual paralyzed "uncles" arrest people with portraits.

I don't know what major event happened this time, which made them come out "fulfilling their duties" to look for people everywhere.

"There are so many desperate people." The official spread out the painting, "Look quickly, have you seen this girl before?"

"It's still a girl? Quickly bring it to me."

Granny Li smiled and took the things handed over by the official, but when she looked down, she was shocked, the person in this painting was very similar to that Xie Sanniang.

Although she covered her face at the time, her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as the person in the painting, without any deviation.

It's just that the person in the painting is smiling happily, but Xie Sanniang is completely cold, and the two have completely different temperaments.

But thinking of Xie Sanniang's mystery, Mrs. Li had a vague feeling that the person in the painting was her.

With her slender arms and legs, it is naturally impossible for her to do such big things as robbing houses, killing people and setting fires, but it is indeed too suspicious that she can have so much money at a young age.

Curious in her heart, Mrs. Li smiled slyly: "I don't know what happened to this girl, why did you bother the official to send the eldest brother to look for her in person?"

"What can a girl do at home. It's just pure hunting."

The official's tone was a little impatient, but thinking that he had something to ask for her, he softened a bit and said flatteringly: "I have heard from others, and they all say that Mrs. Li is a well-versed , the great immortals in the sky and the ghosts and snakes on the earth have made friends, so I came here to find you today, hoping to get some news from you."

Hey, upon hearing what the officials said, Mrs. Li had a look of disbelief. Who the hell could spend this group of "uncles" to find people, and even let them come to curry favor with her in order to get news.

Mrs. Li is the kind of character who starts a dyeing workshop when she is given three points of color. When she sees the servants flattering herself, she thinks that the other party is easy to fool.

Wanting to find out more information, she deliberately said vaguely, "The eyebrows and eyebrows of this girl in the painting are indeed familiar, and I feel that I have seen them before."

The official looked excited, and said directly: "Grandma, tell me quickly. If I find someone here, I will give you 50 taels as a reward."

Fifty taels is by no means a small number for an official. The other party said this number so readily, it must be that the master who is looking for people has given more favorable conditions.

Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes, "Brother Guancha, I really can't remember whether I have seen this person for a while, or if you tell me about it, maybe I will remember it."

The officer looked at her for a while, and finally said in a temper: "I really don't know the specific origin of this woman in the painting. It's just the person who is looking for her. But it's not something that can be offended by just anyone."

"Oh?"

"It was the Kangju Bureau of the Imperial Medical Bureau who came to look for him. He made this painting himself. The girl on it should be extremely important to him. We run to Kangfu every day these days just to ask him personally. Report on the progress of this matter."

Thinking of the tiredness of these days, the official could not help frowning.

First, according to the instructions, I searched the homes of newly married wives and concubines on Qi'an Street, but unfortunately found nothing, and then expanded the scope of the search, but there was still no news.

The officials below are a little tired and want to give up this matter, but the immediate superiors are still not allowed, and everyone is doing everything they can to find this person.

That's why he appeared here, speaking nicely to a prostitute with a calm face.

Mrs. Li didn't notice the displeasure on the officer's face. She was thinking about what she said just now, and asked a little uncertainly: "Brother Guancha, are you sure that Kang Ting, the judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, is looking for someone?"

"If it weren't for this great god, who would have made us so dedicated to this search? Have you ever seen this girl?"

The servant stared at Mrs. Li carefully, observing every detail of her face.

Mrs. Li was so stared at by him that she didn't dare to say anything, she immediately patted her leg with a smile: "Mrs. I'm old. My eyes are not good. I looked at this painting again,

He must have never seen this person.Brother Guancha, let’s go like this, I’ll help you pay more attention when the time comes, and I’ll report to you as soon as I have news about this person. "

"Are you sure you haven't seen it?"

"Never seen, never seen."

The officer hooked the corner of his mouth, didn't say anything more to her, and left here with a shake of his sleeve.

That night, Mrs. Li stayed up all night, thinking about Xie Sanniang all her mind.

She was thinking, if the person Kang Ting was looking for was really Xie Sanniang, and if she went to report the matter to Kang Ting herself, she would not only get a large reward, but also make him owe her a favor, which is comparable to gold and silver. Well worth it.

But if he guessed wrong, he would cause a lot of trouble. Maybe the other party would become angry and make him unable to hang out in Bianjing.

She kept asking herself if she should take a gamble.

It's just that she hasn't waited for her to think clearly about this problem.As soon as work started the next morning, she was taken directly to the prison by several officials and held alone.

Seeing that the leader was the one who came to question her yesterday, Mrs. Li asked flatteringly: "Brother Guancha, we were talking and joking yesterday, why did you lock me in here today? There must be a reason for shutting me down."

"Oh! You need a reason to lock you up here? You have so many dirty things in your hands, just one of them can lock you up for a few years, what are you pretending to do here!"

After saying this, the official spit again and scolded: "If you are sensible, tell me quickly. Where is that girl now?"

"Brother Guancha, I really don't know about this."

"Don't lie to me there. How could you not know the person in the painting with your eyes and the words you asked yesterday? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Being scolded by him like this, Mrs. Li secretly scolded that she had really underestimated this person, but there was nothing she could do at this point, she could only bite the bullet and say: "Brother, you really wronged me. I really don't know this girl. "

"You still dare to speak hard." The officer turned his head and glanced at the brother behind him, "The woman's expression and words yesterday must be that she knows the person in the painting, but now she refuses to admit it, brothers, what should I do?"

"It's very simple to deal with this kind of person. Try the same torture instruments inside, and let's see how much this woman can hold on to." The officials behind followed suit, shouting: "Those big guys are only four or five, what? All are recruited. This old woman's body is only two at most?"

Hearing that they were going to torture her, Mrs. Li was a little flustered: "Several elder brothers have something to say. To tell you the truth, I am quite familiar with Zhang, the director of your inspection department. Can you be more accommodating?"

The chief officer sneered and said, "Oh, Master Zhang? Helping the Kangju Bureau find this girl is an order from the head of the inspection department himself. What's the use of a master?"

When Mrs. Li saw that they didn't betray the owner's face at all, she really panicked, she was really clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and the boat capsized in the gutter.

"Woman, I advise you to speak out earlier. Otherwise, if you really can't find anyone, we will say that you, this woman, murdered you for money, and you will be the one to suffer."

Up to now, Mrs. Li can no longer hide it, and can only say: "Brother, I did not tell you yesterday because I am not sure if I have met the person you are looking for, and I am afraid to trouble you all for nothing." That's why I didn't tell you in the end."

The officials have been looking for the person in the painting for a long time, and there was no news at all before, but now that there is finally a rumor, they definitely don't want to let it go.

He shouted loudly: "Whether it's that person or not, we have the final say, it's not your turn to judge here!"

Looking at the ferocious eyes of several officials, Mrs. Li finally told them Jin Shu's location.

After they learned the exact location, they remembered that Kang Ting had told him many times that this person was likely to be on Qi'an Street, so they concluded that Xie Sanniang was the person in the painting.

So, several people quickly reported the matter to their leader.

The boss laughed out loud after hearing about Xie Sanniang's background, he couldn't tell, Kang Ting was so good!

When did he hook up with a little widow!

For such a woman, he came to ask him for help sincerely.

Not to mention, I want to send him some surprises.

And Jin Shu who was about to be packaged as a gift.At this time, he was sitting in the house sorting out the accounts in hand.

Just when she was concentrating, she suddenly heard Pingrui arguing loudly with someone outside.

In order to find out, she quickly put down what she was doing and walked out following the sound.

Pingyue followed her, her face a little nervous.

From a distance, they heard Pingrui shouting: "Brother Guancha, who are you looking for? There is only one woman in this house, you can wait for me to tell you that you don't need to, so as not to tarnish our lady's reputation. "

Beside her, there were two burly servants walking towards the inside.

"Is Xie Sanniang the woman you speak of?"

"Exactly. I don't know what you want to do with my master."

Seeing that the woman seemed to be procrastinating, they kept walking inside without saying anything.

Pingrui panicked, and directly pulled the official's sleeve, trying to stop him from moving forward.

It's just that her frail body couldn't stop these two burly men. They thought she was in the way, so they pushed her lightly and knocked her to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Pingyue became completely frightened, she hurriedly stood in front of Jinshu, and said anxiously: "Girl, hurry up, we will stop you for you."

Pingrui was afraid that they would be bad for Jinshu, so she endured the pain and stood up, wanting to get up and grab their robes.

The servant was enraged by Pingrui's actions, and just about to kick her, a voice suddenly came from not far away, "Stop."

The servants stopped in their tracks, followed the sound, and they saw Jin Shu at a glance.

Isn't this person exactly the same as in the portrait?Is Mrs. Li blind?This is all uncertain.

They asked, "Are you Xie Sanniang?"

Listen to them calling themselves that.Jin Shu was slightly relieved, and replied, "Exactly."

"Sanniang, please come with us."

The officer bowed his hands towards Jin Shu, and made a gesture of invitation from his side.

Feeling anxious, Pingyue pulled Jinshu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Girl, what should we do? But Mrs. Yu found out that you are still alive, so what did she think of to frame you?"

Jin Shu shook her head, although she couldn't figure out why these officials came to find her, but just based on this title, it was almost certain that it was not Yu's fault.

Now I have no other choice but to catch them without a fight, so I can only follow them obediently.

She softly comforted Pingyue: "You haven't figured out the matter yet, so don't panic. If there is an emergency, the worst is nothing more than a nod to the ground, it's no big deal."

After saying that, Jin Shu smiled indifferently, and walked up to the official by herself.

"Let's go, brother official."

Facing the visitor, Jin Shu showed no fear, only a calm expression.

The official didn't say much to her, Jin Shu, and took her outside.

Seeing Jinshu being taken away, Pingrui and Pingyue panicked, but there was nothing they could do.

What Jinshu didn't expect was that they had specially prepared a sedan chair for her, which was a bit too good.

Jin Shu pondered, no matter what, she should have saved her life with this posture.

Brought to the mansion, the officer invited Jin Shu to an elegant wing room, and when she entered the room, he closed the door and let Jin Shu stay in it alone.

Looking at their strange behavior, Jin Shu vaguely guessed that this matter might have something to do with Kang Ting.

Kang Ting.

Just thinking of the name makes me sick.

He clearly said that he would forget slowly and let go slowly, but this person is poisonous and addicted??

If it was really him, how should I face it.

Love is such a magical existence, she has a lot of ways to deal with those who are chaotic, but when facing Kang Ting, she may be clumsy and doesn't even know how to speak.

Jin Shu sat there alone, thinking about how to deal with it.

When the door opened behind her, she trembled in fright, and then turned her head to look over.

The person who came in was indeed Kang Ting.

Jin Shu saw the haggard look on his face, and also saw the ecstatic joy on his face.

The words that had been brewed in the heart for a long time, the moment I saw him, I realized that I couldn't say a word.

Although I have been persuading myself to let go of this feeling, I just realized at this moment that as long as I see him, all my rationality will collapse in an instant.

So, she could only smile lightly, calling out his name: "Kang Ting."

This call woke up the person who was also in a daze.

He rushed over quickly and rubbed Jinshu into his arms. Although he didn't speak, his whole body exuded the joy of regaining what was lost.

This time, it was Jinshu who sensed the coolness coming from her back.

Kang Ting, crying.

She wanted to stand up to see what the crying Kang Ting would look like, but with a little effort, she was pressed back into her arms by his hand.

"Jinshu, don't move, just let me hold you like this."

Kang Ting's magnetic voice rang in his ears, with some crying and pleading.

Such a him really made Jin Shu feel heartbroken.

She put her head on Kang Ting's shoulder, then slowly rubbed her temples against Kang Ting's ear, and said softly: "Kang Ting, I'm here, don't be afraid."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Jin Shu felt that the hands holding her were much tighter, and the chill on her back was even heavier.

"Jinshu, the past is over, let me take care of you from now on."

The grief in Kang Ting's words was like a sharp knife piercing into Jin Shu's heart, pulling her back to reality.

Without responding to Kang Ting's words, Jin Shu buried her head on her shoulder and asked after a long time, "Are you blaming yourself?"

"Yes. Jinshu, I hate myself to death. Why did I let you go back, why did I let you face such pain alone, why did it take me so long to find you?"

Before Kang Ting could finish speaking, Jin Shu said softly: "Kang Ting, you don't need to do this."

She paused, and then said: "Everything is fake. The marriage proposal is fake, Pan Liang is fake, and leaving Bianjing is also fake. It's just a play I entrusted to others to leave the Zhao family."

She felt Kang Ting's stiffness for a moment, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Kang Ting asked her in a daze: "Why?"

Jin Shu said slowly: "Since my mother has passed away, I don't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore. Only by marrying far away can I really break the blood connection with the Zhao family..."

Perhaps the truth was too hurtful, Kang Ting pushed her up from his arms, and asked her with red eyes and tears: "I don't know what you are capable of doing all this. But I just want to ask you, are you planning this When everything happened, where did I end up?"

In Kang Ting's eyes, there was a grief that Jin Shu had never seen before, mixed with shallow hatred, but also a hint of pleading.

Seems to be begging her not to say anything that hurts her.

But Jin Shu still smiled back at him: "When I did all this, I decided to leave you behind. Have you forgotten? I said in the mountains and forests that I have to go alone for the rest of the journey."

It turned out that what happened in the forest was not a dream.

At that time, she might have been hiding by the side, watching herself looking for her in the rain like a madman.

Combined with what Jinshu said just now, Kang Ting asked her a little confusedly: "Jinshu, this is what you used to say to me over and over again, do you love me?"

Such questioning made Jinshu's heart ache. She knew that if she said the following words, the two of them might have no future in this life.

But she finally smiled heartlessly and looked at him: "Kang Ting, maybe I am too young, and the 'love' you understand may be a little different. I am also thinking about it during this time, I love you Is it love or dependence."
