So Zhou said happily, "This Mr. Lu is a famous young talent in the capital. His father is Lord Lu, and he has been a child prodigy since he was a child. Although he has had some setbacks, now he has reached the rank of Young Master of Dali Temple." Your Excellency! In addition, he is favored by His Majesty and the Crown Prince, so his future is boundless!"
Hearing what Zhou said, everyone was really excited.
Even Mrs. Zheng on the side only regretted that she had not given birth to a daughter, otherwise she would have wanted her daughter to marry Master Na Lu.
However, after Mrs. Zhou finished talking about Lu Zhizhang's future and identity, he only continued, "But Mr. Lu doesn't seem to care much about choosing a wife. Although Yu'er is beautiful, he may not necessarily like her, except This, and his ex-wife died unexpectedly. If you don't mind this, I can help you connect the dots. Although I am no longer in the official circles, I still have my old friends. If you ask them to help with this kind of help, they will not Refuse, it just so happens that the old lady of the Lu family is eager to choose a wife for her son, so if you really want to give it a try, I can also use my connections to let you attend their party."
Zhou Ruyu was naturally happy when she heard that Zhou was willing to help.
"If my second aunt is willing to help Ruyu with the matchmaking, Ruyu will definitely not forget her kindness in the future! If I can really get married to Mr. Lu in the future, then my aunt can come to Ruyu if anything happens in the future."
Although Zhou Ruyu seems to be as heartless as her mother in pursuing her goals at all costs, Zhou Ruyu is much better than her mother when it comes to winning people's hearts. She pretends to accept kindness and knows that The appearance of repaying a favor. Zhou was naturally willing to help her.
"Whether I want to help or not, if you can successfully marry him, my second aunt will be happy for you."
Zhou's words were sincere. After all, there was no conflict of interest between this child and his family.
Helping Zhou Ruyu settle her marriage as soon as possible will make it even more impossible for the eldest aunt of the Zhou family to cooperate with the Zheng family.
So in this situation that is beneficial to herself, how could Zhou be unwilling to help Zhou Ruyu.
Zhou Ruyu was very happy when she heard that her aunt was willing to help her.
After several people watched Zhou Yaoniang and Xu Tianyi disappear, everyone returned to the door.
The carriage rumbled forward, and since it was still early, Zhou Yaoniang suggested going for a walk in the market.
Xu Tianyi knew that he was free now, so he naturally chose to obey Zhou Yaoniang's suggestion.
When Zhou Yaoniang arrived at Zhuque Street, she saw a familiar figure in front of a small stall.
She couldn't help but walk over quickly.
After walking over, she couldn't help but blurt out "Miss Yan."
Chen Yan had just seen off a guest when she suddenly heard Zhou Yaoniang's call. She couldn't help turning her head to look at Zhou Yaoniang. After discovering that the other party was an acquaintance, Chen Yan couldn't help but put a smile on her face.
"Miss Zhou, are you here to go shopping?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhou Yaoniang only said in a low voice, "Yes, I didn't entertain you well the past few days and I didn't even talk to you much. Don't worry about it."
After listening to Zhou Yaoniang's words, Chen Yan just smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Can I be that kind of petty person?"
Zhou Yaoniang just laughed and said, "That's right."
Then Zhou Yaoniang just looked at Chen Yan's stall and said, "By the way, Miss Chen, didn't you say you wanted to open a branch in Xiaochunshan? If you weren't busy opening a shop, why did you set up a stall here?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's question, Chen Yan only said, "It's not because Princess Jin hasn't returned to Beijing yet. I don't know if I can join the franchise yet, so my store won't open for a while, so I have to go to Xiaochun Mountain to work as a waiter." , they don’t have a shortage of people, and I can’t just work for free, so if I have time, I can set up a small stall in the market to make a living.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhou Yaoniang nodded approvingly, "You are really thoughtful."
The two talked and laughed for a while, but refused to leave.
But Xu Tianyi couldn't get in the conversation. Zhou Yaoniang also took this into consideration, so
She only took the initiative to say to Xu Tianyi, "Husband, we also have a shop on this street. I would like to say a few more words to Miss Chen. If you don't mind, you can go and take a look at the shop opposite first."
After hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Xu Tianyi naturally just whispered, "Okay."
After the words fell, Xu Tianyi left.
However, he obviously didn't want to go to the shop to ask questions, so he just turned around and went to a tavern to have a drink while waiting for Zhou Yaoniang to come to him.
However, when he walked towards the tavern, there was a commotion in front of him. Then before he could see clearly what happened, he only bumped into a woman running wildly. The woman was immediately hit by He fell to the ground, feeling very sorry in his heart.
So at that moment, he couldn't help but get up and prepare to help the woman.
Unexpectedly, when the woman looked back in panic, she immediately grabbed Xu Tianyi's sleeve and asked for help, "Sir, please help me!"
Hearing the woman's plea for help, Xu Tianyi looked behind him and saw two strong men running towards him behind the woman.
When they ran in front of the woman, they almost ignored Xu Tianyi. They tried to catch the woman. "Little girls, keep running! See if we don't break your legs when we get back."
Hearing those people's words, Xu Tianyi frowned. He immediately stopped in front of the woman and said to the others, "What are you doing?"
Those people just said, "Don't meddle in this business. This is our Lichun Courtyard's internal matter! It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere!"
However, at the same time, the woman hiding behind Xu Tianyi just begged pitifully, "Sir, please save me! I am a good man! They abducted a good man into that romantic place!"
Hearing the woman's plea for help, Xu Tianyi naturally believed her words more. He just stood behind her, and then he said to the others, "Are you abducting a good family? Then I will take care of this matter!"
"Humph! What a good man, she was bought by our mother for ten taels of silver! If you believe what this little girl says, you will inevitably lose your wife and your troops!" The man only argued with reason.
However, the woman was obviously anxious, and later she recognized Xu Tianyi. She was afraid that she would be abandoned, so she quickly begged, "Mr. Xu, I am really a good family man. I am Fang Yue'er! Please save me, Mr. Xu." Save Yue’er!”
After hearing this, Xu Tianyi realized that the woman with messy hair and messy clothes was actually Fang Yue'er.
He immediately said in surprise, "Fang Yue'er, why are you here?"
However, this was obviously not the time for talking. Seeing that the two of them knew each other, the strong man immediately said, "This is not the time for you to talk. Are you listening to me?"
Hearing the strong man's words, Xu Tianyi naturally realized that now was not the time to speak, so he immediately looked at the group of people and said, "You said you bought her with the ten taels of silver, right?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, the two men nodded, "Yes!"
Xu Tianyi then only whispered, "I will give you twenty taels of silver to buy her. You should have no objection to this, right?"
Upon hearing what the other party said, the strong man was obviously not satisfied. After all, Fang Yue'er's face was really beautiful! Their madam is just planning to train her to become a beauty in the world. From now on, their family will be able to make a lot of money thanks to this beauty.
So they immediately said, "We can't accept this. Although we only spent ten taels of silver, she has stayed in our flower house for so many days, and we have spent so much effort cultivating her. She is in our The value here is far from that. Who do you want to give away twenty taels?"
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Tianyi said expressionlessly, "I can only give you twenty taels. If you don't want it, I will report it to the government. You can let the government define this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yue'er immediately said, "Yes! Let's just wait for the government to come. I am a son of a good family, and you arrest me like this! I will sue you!"
Hearing Fang Yue'er's words, the group of people immediately looked at each other. Everyone knew that if Fang Yue'er was forcibly detained at this moment, he would
I'm afraid they won't make it.
And because of the dispute, everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.
The two people didn't dare to make a big deal out of the matter, so they could only say, "Twenty taels is twenty taels, give us the money! Hurry up!"
Seeing that these two people seemed to finally relax, Xu Tianyi naturally had no intention of persisting.
He immediately took out twenty taels from his pocket and handed them to the two people.
The two strong men got Xu Tianyi's money, and then they immediately fled.
Knowing that she was finally saved, Fang Yue'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Tianyi to express her gratitude.
Xu Tianyi quickly helped Fang Yuer up.
"Miss Yue'er, don't cry! You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."
With Xu Tianyi's help, Fang Yue'er finally stood up.
After all, there were too many people here, and Xu Tianyi felt that it was not convenient for him to talk to Fang Yue'er at the moment.
So he just said, "Miss Yue'er, if nothing happens, why don't we go to the restaurant and take a step to talk."
Fang Yue'er heard this and looked at the crowd of people watching, then she nodded silently.
The two of them left here immediately.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked for a private room. After Fang Yue'er calmed down, Xu Tianyi asked, "Miss Yue'er, why did you go to that place?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Fang Yue'er felt extremely aggrieved. After all, she still felt that her experience was unjust. However, she also knew that Xu Tianyi was now the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
So to tell the truth, he might not only not be able to save himself, but might even send himself into a pit of fire again. Thinking of this, Fang Yue'er just said softly with tears in her eyes, "I was abducted and sold into a brothel. These days , I have been looking for a way to escape, but I have angered the old bustard. If I had not met you today, I am afraid I would have died there."
