At night, Zuo Jian found an opportunity to discuss it with Madam Zuo, and she happened to agree with Madam Zuo's idea.
"I'll tell Mr. Li tomorrow and ask him to stay a little longer. Auntie Gong always sticks to the time, so there's no need to worry. Then you can go out after lunch. Let the Eighth Brother follow you tomorrow. This will save you any trouble.
"Mrs. Zuo stretched out her hand to squeeze Zuo Jian's shoulders. Through the dim candlelight, Mrs. Zuo's beautiful face was reflected. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she was still very graceful. Zuo Jian sighed secretly,
His slender hands held the catkins on his shoulders, "Madam, why do you have to think so much? Why do you encounter such troublesome things just when you want to?"
"It's essential to be on guard against others. Besides, Wan'er is so outstanding, it wouldn't be good if someone takes notice of her." Mrs. Zuo gently pulled out her hand, looked at Zuo Jian unhappily, pursed her lips angrily and sat next to her.
On the stool.
Zuo Jian could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He originally wanted to go out for a walk like an ordinary person, and he didn't want to have any ostentation. Seeing that his wife didn't seem to complain, that's all, so he just took Ba Geer and a few followers with him. Thinking like this
After that, he got up and walked to Madam Zuo and discussed in a low voice, "It's Madam. Bring Bago'er, Qingquan, Huamei and Wan'er's maids. How about that?"
"That's pretty much it." Mrs. Zuo immediately smiled brightly and hugged Zuo Jian's waist. The two of them whispered about something else.
But at this time, they didn't expect that this statement would become a prophecy. The trouble would eventually happen to them.
Seeing that the two of them were in deep love, Qingquan and Huameixin, who were standing on one side, understood and immediately walked out and closed the door with their eyes and noses in mind.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Bago got Madam Zuo's advice and did not let Wan Qing do a lot of exercise. He only allowed her to move around casually, so that Wan Qing could have enough energy to go shopping in the East Market in the afternoon, where there were many rare antiques. And then came
Mr. Li, under the "intimidation" of Mrs. Zuo, only taught one piece of music and then left unwillingly.
However, seeing that Wan Qing was not only good at learning but also doing well, Aunt Gong was willing to teach her a few things, which made Wan Qing gain a lot of knowledge. The whole morning passed smoothly.
After lunch, Zuo Jian and Mrs. Zuo put on casual clothes and took Wan Qing out of Zuo Mansion. In order not to attract attention, they took a more ordinary sedan to stroll around the East Market.
Mrs. Zuo lifted up the curtain on the first floor so that Wan Qing could secretly observe the lively scene outside. Bago'er turned into a servant and followed the side of the sedan, blocking others from prying inside.
"Little sister, the money hasn't been paid yet!" The sudden rich voice of a man selling steamed buns startled Wan Qing, and she couldn't help but follow the voice with her eyes.
The big man was about forty years old, with a strong body, but his face looked a little scary, with a scar from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, showing that he was not angry and intimidating.
And in front of him stood a little girl with dirty cheeks and some dirt and grass on her luxurious clothes. Her big eyes were already full of tears, and they were gurgling down. She lowered her head and cried in confusion.
, so I couldn’t see her face clearly.
The big man had a bad temper, and he grabbed the little girl's wrist and refused to let go. He was afraid that he had used too much strength, and the little girl's cries became louder.
Although Wan Qing was not a nosy person, she always felt a little uncomfortable looking at this little girl, so she wanted Bago to pay for the buns.
Mrs. Zuo and Zuo Jian also agreed to this. At this moment, they saw a man in a coral-colored shirt handing over a few coins, pulling the little girl up and walking away.
The little girl raised her head with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to struggle. The man in the Chinese shirt also spoke at this moment, "Sister, why are you making such a fuss? Why don't you go back with me!"
When Wan Qing saw the little girl's face clearly, her body suddenly stiffened, and Mrs. Zuo immediately felt something was wrong.
"Why..." Before she could finish her words, Wan Qing had already jumped off the sedan chair, and Mrs. Zuo had to quickly ask Bago to follow her.
Wan Qing suddenly slapped the man's hand away and protected the little girl behind her, "How did my sister-in-law ever become your sister?"
Because Wan Qing was wearing January-white clothes today, when the sun shone on her, she felt that white clothes were better than snow. Coupled with the slight anger in her eyes, she had an unquestionable majesty.
"She owes me a hundred taels of silver!" Seeing that Wan Qing was alone, the young master mistook her for a nosy little girl, so she was bragging without making a draft, and stared blankly at Wan Qing's face.
"A hundred taels of silver?" Wan Qing's words seemed to be filled with doubts, and a few chuckles came out immediately, "A meat bun costs a hundred taels of silver? Could it be that it is made of silver? Is that still edible?"
The young man's face turned red, but he frowned and refused to flinch, "What's the matter? You haven't eaten it before, how do you know whether the buns made with this money can be eaten? I... Ouch! It hurts!"
Before the young master finished speaking, Bage directly stepped forward and twisted his hand, waiting for Wan Qing's instructions. Mrs. Zuo and Zuo Jian had already got off the sedan and stood next to Wan Qing. Ordinary people would know at a glance that they were not ordinary people.
, Lian sighed that the little girl met a noble man.
"My dear, send him to the government. The government will deal with it." Zuo Jian sighed, bent down and looked at the little girl, "What's your name?"
"Su Ling..." Su Ling blinked, her face flushed from crying just now, but compared to Wan Qing, she was much more alert.
Wan Qing picked up Su Ling with her backhand, but she didn't expect that she was not strong enough. As soon as she picked up Su Ling a little, she had to put it down.
Zuo Jian rubbed Wan Qing's head distressedly, motioned to Bago to hold Su Ling in his arms, and returned to the sedan.
"Dad, why don't you ask her who her father is? Send her back?" Wan Qing was hugged tightly by Mrs. Zuo, not giving her any chance to run away.
Zuo Jian smiled bitterly. As soon as he heard the name Su Ling, he knew whose child it was, the granddaughter of Dr. Su from the Imperial Hospital.
This Imperial Physician Su had always been at odds with me. Because Princess Anzhen was scolded as a quack because he could not cure her poison, she rolled her eyes when she looked at him.
He rashly sent someone to send Su Ling away because he was afraid that Dr. Su, who cared about his granddaughter the most, would accuse Sang and Huai and give him a hard time, and the relationship would not be able to be eased.
And if I send it in person, I am afraid that people will say that it is not enough to have a princess in the family, and I also like their little granddaughter, and some ministers will use excuses to say that I am not.
This has become an annoyance again. This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either.
Mrs. Zuo knew the pros and cons and could only shake her head secretly, but she couldn't tell Wan Qing. After all, Wan Qing also had good intentions.
"Dad, why are you sighing? Why don't Wan Qing send Su Ling back in person?" Wan Qing showed a sly smile. She had to meet Dr. Su in person. There would be a lot of trouble for him in the future!
