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

It was like being splashed with cold water in the winter, watching Jinshu calmly say such words, Kang Ting only felt that his heart was completely chilled, and he was crazy for her, but she didn't even understand this feeling .

Maybe she planned all this not only to break up with the Zhao family, but also herself.

The obsession in Kang Ting's heart was gradually collapsing, and he kept laughing at his recklessness.

He didn't blame Jinshu for raising his head, he just blamed himself for not being able to control his heart.

Kang Ting took a deep breath, with a gentle face, smoothed Jinshu's slightly disheveled temple hair, smiled and said three words softly: "I understand."

Feeling the warmth from the top of her head, Jin Shu could see every detail of his face clearly, and she heard the wailing in his heart.

The more gentle it is, the more it hurts.

Jin Shu lowered her eyebrows, not daring to look at him again: "Sorry."

The hand on the head paused, and it took a long time to ask softly: "Where do you live now? I will buy you a mansion in Bianjing. You are a girl who is single and everything is inconvenient. Before you get married , or I will take care of you, no matter what you think, I still have to fulfill my promise."

Jinshu had thought about thousands of outcomes, and Kang Ting would probably sneer at her, throw a tantrum, and go away angrily when she heard her bastard words...

The only thing he didn't expect was that he would ask such a question.

"No need, Kang Ting?"

"You should still call me Uncle."

Before Jinshu could finish speaking, Kang Ting stopped her words, patted her on the shoulder and distanced herself from her.

Except for the slight redness in the eye sockets, his words and deeds seem to have returned to the original state of the two of them, when they had no romantic concerns.

Jin Shu understood what he meant, and then suppressed her thoughts.

so.It's over.

Kang Ting turned around and told her: "Jinshu, you don't have to reject everything about me. Since you have made it clear to me today, I will not do anything excessive. The main purpose of buying a mansion for you is I'm worried about what danger you will encounter if you are left alone."

Speaking of this, Kang Ting paused, and then said: "I heard from your father that Pan Liang spent 500 taels in begging for marriage. I think you must have paid for the money yourself. Now you are wandering outside by yourself. How long can you last with the money from selling jewelry?"

"Uncle Kang, I appreciate your kindness. But I have already bought a mansion, and I have some ways to earn money. It is no problem to support myself."

"You have registered as a merchant with your new identity?"

"Um."

She planned everything so completely that she really had already planned to finish the journey alone.

Kang Ting tightened his hands behind his back, and said: "Women are businessmen, and there are many difficulties. If you encounter any difficult things, remember to come to me. If you open your mouth, I will definitely do my best."

"it is good??"

Kang Ting no longer knew what he was talking about, and he could only feel embarrassed and embarrassing if he stayed here, so he was about to open the door and leave.

The moment he was about to step out the door, Jin Shu called him back.

He turned back slightly excitedly, but unexpectedly the other party only said: "Uncle Kang, please don't tell anyone about me, just treat me as dead."

Kang Ting was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I see."

After speaking, he left the room without looking back.

Jin Shu sat in the room for a long time, then walked out quietly.

Pingrui and Pingyue looked at the three men in front of them who were also in dire straits, and they were a little anxious: "Tell me quickly, how can we save the girl?"

Liu Wu and Pan Liang didn't know what to do, but it was Wu Cheng who said: "I don't know why they took the girl away now. But hearing you say that those officials called the girl Xie Sanniang, it should have nothing to do with the previous incident. , it may be related to the current business."

Listening to Wu Cheng's analysis, Pan Liang hurriedly said: "If this is the reason, I will definitely blame the girl without saying a word. I am a rough old man, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

"Pan Liang, don't panic. I'll spend some money to find out the news tomorrow. If it's a business matter, it can be settled with money."

Pingyue was still worried, she always felt that Jin Shu usually didn't leave the house, but she was suddenly taken away by the government, probably it had something to do with Yu.

"Liu Wu, why don't you go to the Zhao Mansion tonight and find a way to ask Zhong Ling?"

While everyone was discussing in the room, unexpectedly there was a knock on the door, Pingrui got up quickly and ran out to open the door.

At first glance, it was an official standing in front of the door, with a sedan chair behind him.

Seeing that it was Pingrui who opened the door, the official officer thought of his rudeness today, and quickly apologized, "I was rude this morning, please don't blame me. No, did I send your wife back intact?"

Seeing the servants so amiable, and saying that her daughter had returned safely, Pingrui's original anger disappeared completely, and she politely replied: "Brother official, don't blame me, I offended you today, I will compensate you first." Not one."

Seeing this maid so courteous, the official sighed in his heart, this Xie Sanniang is really not simple, not only is she not surprised, neither humble nor overbearing, even the maids who serve beside her are also knowledgeable and sensible.

They are not like those lowly and vulgar businessmen, but they are very much like those girls from official families.

No wonder this widow made the Kang Judgment Bureau so concerned.

Pingrui helped Jinshu out of the sedan chair, and before entering the mansion, Jinshu specially rewarded the servants with a tael of silver.

"I am able to reunite with my old friend today thanks to the big brothers. This little money is like buying a drink for the big brothers."

The official took the money with a smile, "Sanniang is a cool person. My name is Chen Ning, and I will take care of the land on Qi'an Street. If Sanniang encounters any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time, as long as If San Niang speaks, I will definitely help to the end."

Of course, Chen Ning's enthusiasm was not just for the sake of money.Thinking that this person is the concubine of the Kang Judgment Bureau, can you not curry favor with him?

Jin Shu naturally knew the reason why this person was so polite to her, but she wished to have such a connection. After all, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. If she is doing business here, she will inevitably cause some troubles. With such a person to help her Then, I will have a lot less troubles.

The two bid farewell to the officer, and after closing the door, Pingrui patted her chest and said, "Girl, you scared us to death. Just now, Pan Liang almost ran to the government to take the blame! Why did they ask you to go there?" What's the matter?

Pingrui chattered a lot, Jinshu said a little tiredly: "Go in and talk."

Thinking of the few people waiting in the room, Pingrui didn't say much, and hurriedly led Jinshu in.

The moment the door was pushed open, Jin Shu saw that their faces changed from anxiety to peace of mind. At this moment, she suddenly had the urge to cry.

Although I have lost my two most important people, I am not yet completely alone.

Myself, there are still people waiting.

"I surprised everyone today."

They still had a lot of things they wanted to ask Jin Shu.But for some reason, seeing the shallow smile on her face and hearing her deeply tired voice, all the questions stopped in her mouth.

She was clearly unscathed, but she could feel that she was scarred.

She is so fragile, and her usual appearance is very different.

This kind of silence actually made the atmosphere a little awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Wu Cheng said: "The girl is a little tired, since she is safe, let's go first, Pingrui and Pingyue will take care of you."

Liu Wu and Pan Liang immediately responded, ready to go out with Wu Cheng, but Jin Shu suddenly said: "Brother Wu, let them go first. I have something to talk to you alone."

Jinshu asked Pingrui and Pingyue to send them out, closed the door, and started talking to Wu Cheng.

"Brother Ang, today I was invited by an old friend."

"Is this old man trying to harm you, or is he trying to help you?"

"He has absolutely no intention of harming me, but he was rejected by me thousands of miles away today."

Thinking of Kang Ting's departure, Jinshu's heart throbbed with pain.

Wu Cheng saw the bitterness on Jin Shu's face at a glance.He comforted: "Girl, you are too strong. You want to take care of everything yourself, and you are afraid of causing trouble to others, but you don't know that this hurts those who are sincerely good for you the most."

In one sentence, it pointed out Jinshu's most fatal weakness.

Jin Shu herself knew that she had such a personality, so there was nothing she could do about it, so she said stiffly, "I've heard a saying before, that you have to walk the path you choose, even on your knees."

"This rule should not be applied to women. As a woman, a man should cherish and love her."

When Wu Cheng said these words so solemnly, Jin Shu couldn't help being a little surprised. She smiled, "If you have such an idea, the woman who will marry you in the future must be lucky."

Being praised like this, Wu Cheng's face turned slightly red.

Jin Shu stopped chatting, and said seriously: "Wu Cheng, I'm keeping you here today. I have something to tell you."

"The girl said yes."

"Among the few of us, you are the oldest. If I unfortunately lose my life one day, you can distribute my money to everyone, and they will be safe in the future."

Jin Shu smiled indifferently, with a calm expression on her face.

Being found by Kang Ting, it is naturally possible to be found by others. In this era of supremacy of imperial power, if he really avenged Aunt Jin, he should not be far from death.

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "I've made a note."

There is nothing else to ask.Jin Shu personally sent Wu Cheng out.

Before going out, Wu Cheng suddenly said to her: "Miss Jinshu, there is a destiny for everything, don't refuse everything in a hurry."

Jin Shu looked up at him, "But after talking for a few words, did you see it again?"

"You look different when you talk about him."

have to!you are awesome.

Jin Shu smiled noncommittally, imitating the man and bowing her hands, "Stop talking, I'll go in first."

Don't wait for Wu Cheng to speak.Jin Shu closed the door.

Wu Cheng looked at the closed door and shook his head, why did such a powerful girl become so dull and pedantic when it comes to love affairs.

After eating in the evening, Jin Shu went back to her room early.

The room was brightly lit with candles, she took out a piece of rice paper, picked up the Zihao given to her by Aunt Jin, and drew the scene when Kang Ting left stroke by stroke.

As if nothing had happened, everyone was still doing everything step by step.

Afterwards, Pingrui and Pingyue asked Jinshu many times what happened that day, but she smiled and shook her head without responding.

Seeing that Jinshu was doing things as usual, they thought there would be no major problem, so they shut up obediently.

Today, when Jin Shu was checking the accounts of the pawnshop, she frowned when she found that it had not achieved what she expected.

Thinking of the matchmaker who came that day, Jinshu considered for a long time, but she finally asked Pingyue to go find Wu Cheng, and then let Wu Cheng invite Granny Li.

Jinshu guessed that she was found by Kang Ting, which should have something to do with her. This person is not a reliable person, but now she has to rely on her mouth to push the pawnshop into the ears of those servants.

She waited in the room for a long time, but Wu Cheng was the only one who came over in the end.

"Brother Ang, where is Mrs. Li?"

"I went to find her just now, and found that her shop was closed. I inquired around the people around, only to find out that she was taken into prison by the officials and has not been released."

Hearing what he said, Jin Shu was a little confused, why did she sell herself out and still be imprisoned?Could it be that I guessed wrong?

No matter what, now is an excellent opportunity to let Mrs. Li owe me a great favor.

Jin Shu hurriedly asked Wu Cheng to invite the official who sent her back that day to the mansion. After the two chatted, Jin Shu paid him a few taels of silver.

Speaking of which, after Mrs. Li was imprisoned by them, she thought that after telling Xie Sanniang's whereabouts, this group of people would let her go.

Who knew that the next day, that person would come and scold her.Said, "The woman is exactly the same as in the painting, you still have the face to say that you are not sure, are you blind! Since you have the ability to fool me again and again, then you stay here let's go."

Mrs. Li wanted to cry when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to argue with them again. After all, here, there is only obedience, and there is no reason to argue.

"Brother Guancha is right. It's because my old lady is used to being slippery. I don't pay attention to things and cause trouble for you guys. Otherwise, if you forgive me this time, I will definitely take the money to apologize to everyone. of."

Hearing that there is money, several officials winked at each other and said: "I heard that you, your wife, have made a lot of money these years."

"It's all other people's nonsense. The money I earn is just enough to support the whole family." Fearing that they would open their mouths, Mrs. Li unconsciously played sloppy eyes again.

"Hey, our lives are in our hands, and you still dare to talk nonsense here. There are people protecting you on weekdays, so you should be embarrassed, but now you deliberately hide the person the Kang Judicial Bureau is looking for. I think there are still people in Bianjing. Who dares to speak for you."

Grandma Li saw them embarrassing herself so much, and knew that they wanted to use this matter to blackmail her.

"Then big brothers, tell me the number, I will try to see if I can get them all."

Hearing her say this, one of them sneered.Said: "I don't want to scratch your skin. How about it, 500 taels."

When Mrs. Li heard what he said, she vomited blood in her heart, and secretly scolded this group of people for being too dark.

She thought about it for a long time, but she still felt sorry for the money, and she was unwilling to spend so much money to settle this matter.

Thinking that these officials have caught him for a bad name, it is impossible to lock himself here for a lifetime, thinking that he is not busy agreeing now, and will discuss with them in a few days.

It's just that after so many days, this group of people is still unwilling to let go.

Just when Mrs. Li was about to compromise, she didn't expect an official to walk in with a half-covered woman.

Mrs. Li looked through the dim candlelight, whoever it was if it wasn't Xie Sanniang.

She hurriedly shouted: "San Niang, San Niang, I'm here."

Jin Shu heard Granny Li calling her excitedly in the cell, she gave Chen Ning a wink, she nodded, and took the brothers out.

Mrs. Li thought that she would appear here safe and sound after seeing Kang Ting, and now she can easily dismiss these officials, so she couldn't help guessing that this person might be much more powerful than she imagined.

When Jinshu approached, Mrs. Li hurriedly wailed: "Sanniang, now that you are here, you know what happened to me. The world is a lesson, I really didn't betray you, it's true that these officials have eyes like eagles, my old lady And clumsy, I found out at a glance that I have seen you."

In order to emphasize her innocence, Mrs. Li said: "If you don't believe me, you can ask them. If I hadn't said that I was going to torture me, I would never have mentioned a piece of paper about you."

Jinshu nodded: "Nurse Li is troubled because of me. It is thanks to you that I can reunite with my old friend. I wanted to come to thank you today, but I didn't know that you had suffered such a crime for me after asking."

old friend?Health court?

Mrs. Li never expected that this widow who was a businessman would know such a big man.

"Sanniang, please entrust your old friends to save me. Those people want to extort my money. My wife, I have worked so hard to save all my life. If I give it all to them, what will I get for my retirement?"

Jin Shu pretended to be embarrassing and said: "I have only met my old friend not long ago, so it's not good to bother him so recklessly now. You know, the most difficult thing in this world to repay is the debt of favor."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li panicked, and hurriedly said: "Sanniang, please help me with kindness. The old lady will accompany you to pay back this debt of favor. You can see if it will work."

Jin Shu didn't reply in a hurry, and saw that Granny Li was about to cry, so she nodded and agreed.

The next day, Chen Ning arrived at the cell first, and he opened the door of Mrs. Li's cell, muttering: "Since the Kang Judgment Bureau has spoken for you, you can go."

Mrs. Li thought she would be imprisoned for a few more days, but she didn't want to be released so soon. The relationship between Xie Sanniang and Kang Juju was actually so good.

She thought that the official had respectfully invited Xie Sanniang to come in yesterday, so she might know something about it, so she inquired: "What is the relationship between Xie Sanniang and Kang Juju?"

Chen Ning cast her a glance: "A widower, a widow, what do you think it matters."

When Mrs. Li opened her eyes, it was as she had guessed, that Xie Sanniang was Kang Ting's concubine!

Isn't the mystery about Xie Sanniang solved in this way?

Why does she have so much money, why does she have the temperament of an official??

After working for a long time, it turned out that it was under the light of others.

At this point, Mrs. Li completely let go of her doubts about her, and at the same time, she also developed a desire to cling to her.

Not long after Chen Ning sent her out, other people on duty also gradually arrived here. Seeing that Mrs. Li was no longer here, they asked Chen Ning, "Where is the old woman?"

"Brothers, don't think about money. Yesterday, Xie Sanniang went to the Kang Judgment Bureau to talk about this matter, and the Kang Judgment Bureau asked the adults to let him go."

"Hey, such a fat sheep, let her run out like this. It's a pity!"

Chen Ning smiled: "Brother, it's okay. I know she is a fat sheep, and I will go to her more often in the future, so I can get some benefits from her."

"Hey, that's all."

Seeing everyone giving up, Chen Ning smiled in the dark.

It turned out that Kang Ting's intercession for Mrs. Li was just a play he and Jin Shu put on.

Jinshu gave him 100 taels of silver as a reward, which was much more than 500 taels shared among a group of people.

Because the immediate superior didn't know about the detention of Mrs. Li, so even if he released Mrs. Li, it was impossible for this group of people to ask the adults for proof.

So, he did it boldly.

It is said that after Mrs. Li returned home, she went to visit Jinshu's mansion with her big and small bags that afternoon.

With that familiar look, it was as if he regarded her as his own sister.

Jinshu kept her for food, and at the dinner table she told Granny Li about the pawn shop.

Mrs. Li said at the time: "San Niang, you got me out of the prison, and I made a note of your love. Don't worry, I will definitely remember the matter of your pawn shop."

This time, Mrs. Li really took this matter to heart.

As long as those familiar faces who come to her to buy slaves, she will definitely tell them about the pawn shop seriously.

Seeing Mrs. Li talking about the pawnshop so swearingly, those people made a silent note of it in their hearts, and then began to take some small things to try there.

It's okay if you don't try it, but after you try it, you find that this pawn shop is simply the conscience of the industry, much better than those unscrupulous shops.

Going there to pawn things is not only expensive, but also divided into several rooms. Except for the buddy, other guests can't see who is inside.

Such a pawn shop is naturally especially attractive to those servants who want to sell their stolen goods.

The circle of officials, family members and servants is already connected, and everyone tasted the sweetness, and soon talked about it to their sisters and buddies.

In this way, Jinshu's pawn shop became more and more famous in the circle of officials and servants in Bianjing under the impetus of spreading the word.

Jin Shu looked at the increasingly thicker ledger, and smiled in her heart that she had bet right on Mrs. Li's path, this person really has some ability.

One day, Jin Shu was reading a book in her room, but Liu Wu suddenly entered the mansion to look for her.

"But what happened to the shop? Why are you here at this hour?"

"Just now a servant girl came to pawn a valuable item. The sir estimated the price at 800 taels, and the shop didn't have enough money to pay, so I came here to ask you for some money."

The fact that a maid can pawn such a valuable thing really surprised Jinshu: "What is so valuable?"

"A crystal hairpin." Liu Wu recalled the style on it, and continued: "It seems to be peony pattern."

Listening to Liu Wu's description, Jin Shu's eyes were misty, and she couldn't help asking: "Is it finally here?"
