The next day, Lin Jinyan took Li Siyu to Baiyin Piano Shop and found Shopkeeper Zhou. After explaining his purpose, he said:
"I would also like to ask shopkeeper Zhou to give me some advice. When you go to other stores to take stock, please take Li Siyu with you."
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "If it hadn't been for the young lady calling me back, I wouldn't know where I would be now. If the young lady has something to do, I can just give you instructions. I wouldn't deserve your trouble."
As she spoke, Lin Jinyan looked at Yun Muzhi, who was beside Shopkeeper Zhou, who was unconscious.
"Master Yunqin, what's going on?"
Yun Muzhi suddenly came back to his senses when he saw several people looking at him. He looked at Lin Jinyan who was asking the question and said with dodges:
"No...it's okay. I just read too late last night and didn't sleep well. I just got distracted. I hope Miss is not surprised."
Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "Although it is important to obtain academic qualifications, you should also pay attention to your health. I am looking forward to Yunqinshi High School."
Yun Muzhi's smile was far-fetched: "I must work hard and live up to the kindness of the young lady."
After coming out of the piano store, Lin Jinyan asked Cao Xian to take Li Siyu to Yahang to check out the house, while he took Bai Zhi and Hongjiu to inspect the store.
As the weather got hotter, tea stalls were set up on the roadside. As soon as they walked out of the cloth store and prepared to get on the carriage, a figure in gray stood up from the tea stall, stepped forward quickly, took off Lin Jinyan's purse from her waist, turned around and rushed in Next to the alley.
Hong Jiu, who was following behind, held the cloth to block his view. When he realized that the thief had already snatched the purse away, Hong Jiu threw the cloth into the carriage and quickly chased after him.
Lin Jinyan: "I have been attracting thieves recently. Xu Da and Xu San parked the carriage in front of the car where no one would interfere and waited for Hong Jiu to come back."
Lin Jinyan got off the carriage and was about to return to Buzhuang when an old woman came up and pulled Bai Zhi and cried and begged:
"Girl, have you seen my granddaughter? She is about the same size as you but thinner than you. I took her out and I couldn't find her in a blink of an eye. Can you help me look for her?"
Bai Zhi comforted the old woman and turned to look at Lin Jinyan: "Miss, this old man is so pitiful..."
Lin Jinyan glanced at the old woman and smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. Bai Zhi, please accompany me to look for her. Don't go too far. I'll wait for you inside."
The old woman burst into tears and took Bai Zhi away with her thanks. Lin Jinyan looked around and walked to the carriage. After a while, Song Yi appeared and walked over:
"You're looking for me?"
Bai Zhi supported the old woman and comforted her while asking passers-by if they had seen the old woman's granddaughter. She followed the old woman further and further unknowingly.
When they reached a deserted place, the old woman suddenly grabbed Bai Zhi's hands from behind and pushed Bai Zhi down against the wall. The old woman was surprisingly strong, and Bai Zhi was unable to move and her face was pressed. It hurts.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Such a charming little girl will definitely fetch a good price."
Bai Zhi angrily cursed: "You are a rotten old thief, you are using my kindness to harm me, aren't you afraid of being punished by God!"
The old woman smiled cruelly: "You still dare to scold me? I originally wanted to sell you to a better brothel so that you can enjoy your happiness. If you scold me again, I will sell you to a lower-class brothel!"
"Bah! You thief who is suffering from the plague, I curse your whole family to get smallpox and tuberculosis and kill every one of you!"
"Vicious dead girl, when I go back, I will get that little girl too, and I will take you home and slap your mouth to pieces!"
When Bai Zhi heard this, she said anxiously: "My lady is the granddaughter of General Dingbei! Do you dare to abduct her if you don't want to live?!"
