The mournful cries attracted a large number of people. Their eyes were dull and they stretched their necks to look into the house.
But no one came close to lend a helping hand.
Feng Shuiqing stuffed sesame cakes into her sleeves and secretly mixed a ginseng pill with Xiao Tiantian, which could save someone's life at a critical moment.
She opened the door, which was crowded with people, and was enjoying watching the lively crowd.
Then he opened the woman's mouth, stuffed pills into her mouth, and ordered Ling Ao to carry the woman back to the room upstairs.
The little boy wiped his tears with his hands, knelt down in front of Feng Shuiqing, and banged his head as if pounding garlic.
"Thank you, big sister, for saving my mother! Thank you, big sister! Thank you, big sister, Ziru..."
"Get up, get up..."
Those muffled sounds made Feng Shuiqing feel distressed.
This kid is so skinny, he's almost as skinny and skinny.
When you kowtow, the back of your neck is exposed, and the vertebrae are like ridges, with each vertebra clearly visible.
After being helped up, Ziru finally saw clearly what his elder sister looked like in front of him.
The eyes are as big as grapes and are watery and translucent.
The eyebrows are furrowed, the face is dull and dull.
There is a thin layer of oil stains on the lips, and there is a burst of aroma of steamed buns...
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
Ziru's deflated belly made a rumble, and his pale face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
"Here, I'll give you this to eat first."
Feng Shuiqing took out the sesame cake from her sleeve and stuffed it into the boy's hand.
After thanking him repeatedly, he carefully opened the parchment paper and wolfed down a piece of sesame seed cake.
The other one was covered with wax paper and wrapped carefully.
Feng Shuiqing pointed with her finger: "Why don't you eat this?"
"Um……"
Ziru smiled sheepishly.
"This is for my mother. She only drank a bowl of rice soup last night. She will be starving when she wakes up later."
Feng Shuiqing took a look at the sky, covered with golden clouds, and saw that it was almost night.
According to what he said, the two of them must have not had a good meal all day long.
Just as Ling Ao came back from upstairs, she raised her head and said: "Ling Ao, go buy some cooked steamed buns, and then go to Xiangyi Pavilion to pack some good food."
"Yes, Master."
"Big sister..."
Ziru's eyes were bright and clear, tears shone, and his lips trembled slightly: "Sister, thank you, I will definitely pay you back when Ziru gets rich in the future! My mother taught me to repay kindness in return, thank you!"
Feng Shuiqing wiped his tears with a handkerchief and smiled humbly.
"Well, don't cry!"
At the same time, I was thinking secretly and unconsciously.
Although this boy is thin, he is tall and almost even catches up with himself.
If it wasn't for the lack of food and nutrition, he might have grown taller...
Oh...poor little guy.
…
The woman who fainted was originally named Bai Huixian, and the boy was named Lin Ziru.
By this time, Priscilla Bai had woken up, and everyone had dinner in the dining room on the second floor of the shop.
The mother and son seemed to have really not used food properly for a long time, and they ate a large table full of dishes.
After finishing the meal, Bai Huixian's face returned to a little rosy, but she knelt down to thank her again.
Feng Shuiqing was embarrassed and flustered. As soon as he helped Bai Huixian up, Lin Ziru fell to his knees with a plop.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the thank you.
Only then did the couple sit on their chairs with peace of mind, and slowly told the story of their encounter.
Priscilla Bai looks weak and weak, but her eyesight is clear.
She smiled gently: "Ziru and his father are both orphans. We moved from our hometown in Jingyun County to the Imperial City three years ago. I can embroider and he can tailor, so I used all my savings to open a shop.
, opened this Huicheng Clothing Store.”
"At first, the business was booming and there were many repeat customers. Later, my family Guicheng contracted tuberculosis and passed away. Fang Yongnan saw that my mother and son were alone and said that he would sell us some cloth at a low price. The cloth of Fang's cloth shop was of high quality and well-known.
, so I signed the contract without hesitation.”
"After I paid the money and received the goods, I discovered that the fabrics were all defective and could not be sold at all. I went to Fang's Cloth Shop to reason with him, but he refused to admit that he had sold our fabrics... and even sent a group of vicious men.
The strong man who was guarding the hospital. I went there once and was beaten once... I went to report it to the government again, but the government only said that they were investigating. It has been half a year, but there is still no news..."
"Because of this, we owed a large amount of money, so we had to go to the bank to borrow it. A few days ago, the principal was finally repaid, but they said that I still owed them five hundred taels of interest and must pay it back within five days, otherwise I would
I want to mortgage the shop to them..."
"I am the only one running this shop. Even if I am blind from embroidery, I still can't make that much money back in five days..."
The more Feng Shui Qing listened, the angrier he became. Isn't it obvious that this was a series of traps set by Fang Yongnan?
At first, he helped them with false intentions, but after he was tricked, he joined forces with a bank to collect their money.
In the end, I got a shop for nothing without any effort.
The government must have known that he was related to the Minister of Household Affairs, so how could they dare to interfere?
Presumably the other cloth shops in the imperial city were destroyed by the same method!
What a great move to defeat the white wolf with nothing!
but……
This afternoon I deceived Fang Yongnan. I am the boss of Pianyi Clothing Store.
It just so happens that the location and people are right, so we can make some good plans!
Thinking of this, the plan in Feng Shui Qing's mind gradually matured.
She took the hand of the tearful woman in front of her and said sweetly: "Aunt Huixian, I will help you deal with them!"
Bai Huixian looked at the little girl, but she was a few years older than Ziru.
He had no choice but to smile knowingly and cover her delicate, boneless little hand.
"Little girl, Auntie, thank you for your help this afternoon. But the Fang family is rich and powerful, and they can only cover the sky with one hand in the imperial city. You are only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can you deal with them?"
Feng Shuiqing still smiled brightly: "My uncle works as a housekeeper in Feng Mansion! The Feng family treats him very well, so he can help me a lot with this matter, so don't worry about it!"
"Feng Mansion?! But the Feng Mansion of the Chief Assistant Feng Family?"
Bai Huixian was stunned and looked at Feng Shuiqing's clothes again.
The doubts were gradually dispelled: "The Feng family, the first assistant, is the most prosperous family in Dayao. How could Ziru and I... beg for such help... Thank you! You are the benefactor of me and Ziru..."
Ling Ao has been watching silently from the side.
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to drink tea.
…
The moon is on the branches, and the night is covered with stars.
Feng Shui Qing briefly explained the plan in his mind and left Huicheng Buhang with Ling Ao.
Bai Huixian and Feng Shuiqing clasped hands and said goodbye with tears, then turned around and went to the store to pack things.
Lin Ziru held her hand and didn't want her to leave.
"Sister Hu Qing, will you come again tomorrow?"
Feng Mansion indeed has a butler named Hu Jinzhong.
On weekdays, everyone affectionately called him Uncle Huber, so she used this as her name to inform Bai Huixian and her son.
Feng Shui Qing took out her hand and patted his furry head: "It's coming! My sister will come tomorrow to make arrangements. When the plaque of 'Pink Cloth Shop' is hung, we will be ready!"
Lin Ziru's eyes were filled with stars and ripples.
"Sister, thank you! Can I marry you when I grow up? This way I can always be kind to you! I will always repay you!"
"Cough cough cough..."
As he finished speaking, Ling Ao actually choked on his saliva and couldn't breathe after coughing.
Xiao Tiantian also yelled crazily: "Ah! Host! Why is Lin Ziru thinking about marrying a wife at such a young age? Will Yuan Chenzhen beat him to tears if he knows it?!"
On the other hand, Feng Shui was clear and generous, and he smiled contentedly: "You should study hard at your age! When you become the number one scholar, you will have a wife!"
Lin Ziru looked at her cute face illuminated by the gentle moonlight, her ears were a little red, she clenched her fists and nodded.
"By the way, big sister, I have one more thing."
Feng Shui Qingben had already taken a few steps, and when he heard that he still had something to say, he turned around and tilted his head.
"What's the matter?"
"My mother won't let me tell this secret to others for fear of causing trouble. But I think I should tell you anyway!"
Lin Ziru took three steps at a time and walked to Feng Shuiqing's side.
He covered his mouth with his hand, stood on tiptoes and secretly preached in her ear: "One night, my mother was seriously ill, so I went to ask for a doctor. When I passed by Fang's cloth shop, I heard wailing inside! There seemed to be...
The sounds of child labor…”
Feng Shuiqing was surprised that Dayao strictly prohibited the employment of child labor.
If he is found out, he will be punished with bankruptcy and even the shop owner will have to go to jail.
"Sister knows."
Feng Shuiqing nodded and pushed Lin Ziru's back.
"Go back quickly, help your mother clean up, and get some rest early."
After walking some distance, Feng Shui Qing watched the night fog getting thicker.
He simply changed direction and walked slowly towards Fang's cloth shop.
Ling Ao knew it well and couldn't help but ask: "Princess Princess, are you going to Fang's wedding?"
"right!"
Feng Shuiqing tied up her long hair with a handkerchief and smiled slyly, showing her white teeth.
"Let's go and have a night visit!" This chapter has been completed!
