Chapter 369 Xu Fang's Decision
Shi Yan felt the cold air emitted by his master almost the first time, thinking to himself that Miss Luo is not good, how could he invite other men to see the persimmon tree?
Especially when their master was still sitting here.
Lin Shu also felt a wave of cold air, but he couldn't resist his worries about his cousin and immediately responded.
Seeing the two walking side by side towards the door leading to the backyard, Wei Han put the wine cup on the table and made a sound.
Although the sound was light, it seemed like thunder when it fell into Shi Yan's ears.
Master is planning to follow!
Unexpectedly, the slender hand lifted the wine pot, poured the wine glass again, and continued to drink.
Shi Yan: "..."
Lin Shu followed Luo Sheng into the backyard and saw the boy chopping firewood.
The red lanterns under the eaves emit orange light, illuminating the snow-covered yard.
A burly man stood not far away, staring at the boy chopping firewood with his face full of flesh.
"The axe is not so good, it is not fast enough to chop it..." The strong man's dissatisfied voice rang.
Lin Shu somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was just chopping wood!
He turned his head and looked at the girl standing beside him.
The girl looked at the boy who was chopping wood indifferently, unable to tell her emotions.
"Miss Luo——" Lin Shu spoke and quietly pinched the purse that stuffed some money in a hurry.
Luo Sheng looked over.
Lin Shu calmed down and asked tentatively: "I wonder how much money Miss Luo spent to redeem Xu Qi?"
I heard that the people from Qianjinfang sold their cousin for 300 taels. As for how much Miss Luo spent to buy her cousin, there were many different opinions.
Some say that they spend 1,000 taels, and some say that they spend 10,000 taels.
If it was ten thousand taels - Lin Shu felt that breathing was a little difficult, so he decided not to think about this for the time being.
Luo Sheng's tone was faint: "Not much, fifty taels."
Lin Shu was stunned.
The little house spent 300 taels to buy my cousin and sold it for fifty taels?
"Gold?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Even firewood is not good to chop, is it worth fifty taels of gold?"
Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "I wonder if Miss Luo can make it convenient and let me take my cousin away? I would like to pay one hundred taels of silver as a reward for Miss Luo."
Luo Sheng refused mercilessly: "Don't resell."
"Don't go too far!" The young man who found his cousin came rushed over and roared at Luo Sheng when he heard these words.
Luo Sheng looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you eat too much or are you too easy to chop firewood? Don't forget that your contract to sell your body is still in my hands."
Xu Qi suddenly felt deflated, thinking of the contract that represented shame, his eyes turned red.
Lin Shu felt unbearable and said warmly: "Miss Luo, as you said, my cousin can't even chop firewood. Please give me some convenience and let me take him away, so I won't cause you any trouble."
Luo Sheng smiled: "I don't care about the trouble and I don't have enough money. I like to see him chopping firewood honestly. If Mr. Lin is worried, he can come to see him often."
Come often?
Wei Han, who walked out of the thick cotton curtain, heard this and pursed his thin lips slightly.
"Don't Mr. Lin think your cousin is good enough to chop firewood with honesty?" Luo Sheng asked calmly.
Lin Shu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xu Qi.
The boy was holding an axe in his hand, his cheeks were slightly red, and he stood in the snow-covered yard like a vibrant poplar.
He thought of his cousin's impatient look when he advised his cousin not to go gambling again.
An impatient tone, an impatient expression, and a whole person was filled with impatient depressedness.
The boy, who is only fifteen years old, can make people smell the decay.
Lin Shu suddenly figured it out.
Yes, it is undoubtedly better than a cousin like that.
He sincerely bowed to Luo Sheng: "In this way, I will trouble Miss Luo from now on."
"Cousin!" Xu Qi was shocked.
Lin Shu walked over and patted Xu Qi's shoulder: "Cousin, please stay here with peace of mind. I will come to see you often in the future. If you have any difficulties, tell me."
"Cousin, have you been brainwashed by that female devil?" Xu Qi pointed at Luo Sheng in pain.
Luo Sheng looked cold: "To be precise, you should call my master."
The boy's expression was instantly distorted, and he wanted to rush forward with an axe. However, thinking that he could not even beat the white goose in this winery, he had to silently give up this unrealistic idea.
"Cousin, don't forget that your contract for sale is still in the hands of Miss Luo, and your cousin's face is not as great as you think." Lin Shu reminded him again and said goodbye to Luo Sheng.
"Since Mr. Lin is here, you might as well go to the lobby to have a glass of wine to warm up your body."
Want to warm up?
Wei Han, who was standing by the door, raised his eyebrows.
Lin Shu hesitated for a moment.
Although he comes at half price every time, the wine and food in a wine shop are too expensive, and it is not something that a poor student like him can afford.
"Didn't you bring the money you are going to redeem your cousin?" Luo Sheng reminded me intimately.
Lin Shu suddenly realized and said with a hint: "Some days I haven't come to the restaurant to eat, so I'll go have a drink."
When passing by Wei Han, the young man bowed deeply: "The student has seen the prince."
Wei Han nodded reservedly: "No need to be polite."
Seeing Lin Shu enter the lobby, Wei Han walked towards Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng asked with a smile: "Why is the prince here?"
"Come and see the persimmon tree."
Xu Qi ignored the man and woman looking at the persimmon tree, and watched his cousin disappear behind the cotton door curtain, heartache as if he was heartbroken.
So in the end, my cousin left him to eat firewood and drink with the money he was preparing to redeem him?
Without mentioning the sadness of the young man who chopped firewood, Changchun Hou received the news that Xu Qi was bought by Miss Luo, and was in a complicated mood. In the end, he had to comfort himself that he was the son of an abandoned son and gave him a head in person to Miss Luo than to be a young prostitute.
Xu Fang also learned the news from the maid Hongyue.
Xu Fang didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning on the couch, thinking about something repeatedly: Should she ask Miss Luo for help?
She shouldn't have asked others for help in such a thing, but she was really powerless.
At least for the moment, as an unmarried girl, there is too little that can be done.
Xu Fang made a decision.
Early in the morning, the wind and snow had stopped, so she hurried out, but when she arrived at the door, she was stopped.
"The Marquis asked the eldest girl to rest well." The disciple said with a sarcastic smile.
Hongyue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Fang: "I'll go see my father."
She was embarrassed to argue with a disciple for a long time.
Changchun Hou was depressed and sulking in the study room. When he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Father, I am Fang'er, can I come in?"
Changchun Hou frowned and said lightly: "Come in."
After a moment, the back door was pushed open and Xu Fang walked in gently.
Seeing his daughter saluted, Changchun Hou asked with some impatientness: "What's the matter?"
Xu Fang lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter wants to find Miss Luo."
When Changchun Hou heard this, he looked down: "What do you want to run out in the cold weather?"
"That's right. My daughter went to a restaurant that day. When she heard the news that my eldest brother had an accident, she rushed back in a panic. If Miss Luo came to ask for debt-"
