Seeing Zhou Yiming suddenly borrowing money from her, Miss Pang froze on the spot, her heart full of doubts. She didn't understand why Zhou Ming suddenly made such a request. Could it be that he felt that sending her back for nothing without getting any benefits was a mistake. Trading at a loss?
Zhou Yiming saw Miss Pang's incomprehension, so he quickly explained: "Miss Pang, don't get me wrong, have you seen this flag? I took it from that tavern casually. If I just take it for nothing, It doesn't make sense to leave, both emotionally and rationally, and all the money I have is spent, so I can only ask you to borrow it."
Miss Pang suddenly realized that she felt sorry for having misunderstood Zhou Ming just now.
She took out a few taels of broken silver from her sleeves and handed it to Zhou Ming: "I don't know if these broken silver are enough. If not, take this bracelet from me too."
Before she finished speaking, Miss Pang began to take off the bracelet on her hand.
Zhou Yiming quickly stopped her: "Miss Pang, no need. This little bit of money is enough to buy this flag. Let's get on our way."
Zhou Yiming wrapped up Ms. Pang's entire body, exposing only her nostrils and eyes. Then he tore off a small piece from the rotten flag and wrapped his face and chin to prevent anyone from walking on the street later. Recognize yourself.
After everything was packed up, Zhou Yiming carried Miss Pang on his back and strode towards Huijing City.
When passing by the door of the tavern, Zhou Yiming raised his hand, threw all the scattered silver at the door of the tavern, and then left calmly.
After walking some distance away, Zhou Yiming and the others suddenly heard an angry voice coming from the tavern behind them.
"Who did this? He even stole the rotten flag from my door. Is he still a human being?"
But not long after, the tone of the curser suddenly changed.
"What a kind man you are. You don't need to pay so much for a rotten flag. Listen to this benefactor. From now on, I will keep you in my family every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."
These two sentences were not long apart, but the content of them was completely different. This strong contrast made Ms. Pang laugh.
"This boss is so interesting. It's just a few taels of silver, and he actually wants to enshrine your memorial tablet at home." Miss Pang happily lay on Yi Ming's back and sighed.
Zhou Yiming shook his head as he walked, thinking that she was indeed the rich daughter of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. She didn't know anything about the suffering in the world, and the boss might not be able to earn even that little bit of money after working for a year.
Opening a restaurant in such a remote place shows that the owner has a very humble background. And from the sound of that person's voice, he is already middle-aged. He must have a family to support. Judging from the size of the restaurant, the money earned can make It is good enough for the family to have enough food and clothing.
Zhou Yiming originally wanted to tell Miss Pang about the dangers and difficulties of the world, and educate her, but then he thought that it was impossible to make a spoiled young lady understand the difficulties of the world by just talking like this. In the end, he said Everything will become nonsense. In that case, why should I say more.
Zhou Yiming just smiled slightly and didn't say a word. At the same time, he continued to speed up his pace, wanting to send Miss Pang back to his house as early as possible so that he could go back to work.
Soon the two of them entered the city and walked through the streets and alleys. The pedestrians they met along the way all stared at them with strange eyes, and they were all curious about what Zhou Ming was carrying behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the street where Pang's mansion was located. Zhou Yiming raised his head and took a quick look, and was immediately surprised.
The scale of the Pang family's mansion far exceeds Zhou Ming's imagination. The courtyard walls alone are much taller than ordinary homes, and the buildings inside are even more majestic and row upon row. The entire mansion building plus the courtyard takes up the entire street. More than half.
There are four or five servants guarding the door of the mansion.
In order to prevent being discovered by the servants, Zhou Yiming did not rush to the door of the mansion, but quietly turned into a small alley, intending to ask Miss Pang about the situation in the mansion before making any plans.
"Miss Pang, it's daylight now. It's very difficult to send you back to the mansion quietly, because the servants in the mansion must have gotten up. It's very difficult to avoid their eyes and ears." Zhou Ming told the truth. .
Ms. Pang was flustered for a while, but she also had a strange expectation in her heart. She hoped that Yi Ming could not send her back safely and find a place to settle down. In that case, if the two of them get along for a long time, they might become in love for a long time, even if She would never go home, and she was willing to stay with Yi Ming forever.
"What should we do?" Miss Pang said.
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly: "Miss Pang, you don't have to panic. Think about it carefully. At this time, which place in your house no one is going to and which is the safest way to your room? Tell these basic information I, I promise to send you back smoothly."
Miss Pang felt disappointed. She felt that if Zhou Ming was interested in her, he would definitely not insist on sending her back after seeing the situation in front of him, but would think of other ways to keep her by his side.
And the reason why he could say these words was because he definitely had no place for himself in his heart.
After the hope of beauty was shattered, Miss Pang did not become angry, nor did she have the idea of causing trouble for Zhou Ming. After all, she was a grateful girl. Zhou Ming was her savior. Even if he did not have her in his heart, Miss Pang would Will always wish him well.
"The back garden of my house is deserted during the day. No one should go there at this time. No one will be able to enter the house from there." Miss Pang suppressed the sadness in her heart and said with a smile, "After entering the house, I I know there is a safe road that leads directly to the back of my room. But we must move quickly, because my personal maid will wake me up soon."
Zhou Yiming nodded and began to plan his actions after entering the mansion in his mind. First of all, no matter how he acted, he had to be quick. After all, if Miss Pang's personal maid discovered that Miss Pang was missing, and he happened to send Miss Pang back, she would be If a person discovers it, he will not be able to wash himself away even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhou Yiming did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly picked up the tightly wrapped Miss Pang, and then followed her instructions to a remote place in the northwest corner of Pang Mansion. This corner is In a small alley, all the poor people live in the alley. They usually get up late, so there is no one in the alley at this time.
"That's it. Jump in from here and you'll find the back garden." Miss Pang said after confirming.
Zhou Yiming carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said to Miss Pang: "Miss Pang, hold on tight, I'm going to jump in."
Although Miss Pang was on Zhou Ming's back along the way, she was already shy and did not dare to have excessive contact with him. When lying on his back, she just gently grabbed his clothes with her fingertips, except for I dare not take any other action besides this.
When she heard Zhou Yiming say this, as if she had received blatant permission, Miss Pang stopped being coy. She stretched out her two hands from inside the rotten flag and hugged Zhou Yiming's neck tightly.
Zhou Yiming was stunned. A warm feeling spread throughout his neck, and a strange fragrance came from both sides, making him feel intoxicated.
Zhou Yiming gently bit his upper lip with his teeth to wake himself up, then summoned his energy, jumped up on the high courtyard wall.
He stood on the courtyard wall and crouched down quickly, looked around, found no one, and then jumped into the back garden.
"Miss Pang, where should we go now?" Zhou Ming asked quickly.
Miss Pang put her arms around Zhou Ming's shoulders and pressed her face against his back, feeling his manliness. A sense of happiness she had never experienced before made Miss Pang feel the urge to cry.
How she wished this moment would never end, but Zhou Ming's question brought her back to reality.
Miss Pang could only tell the truth and guide Yi Ming to take the safe path.
According to the guidance, Zhou Yiming quickly arrived at the back of Ms. Pang's room. At this time, there was a noise in front of Ms. Pang's room, as if someone was knocking on the door.
Zhou Yiming quickly put down Miss Pang, took off the rotten flags from her body, balled them up, and stuffed them into his sleeves.
"Ms. Pang, what's that sound in front of you? Isn't it because we're late?"
Zhou Yiming asked anxiously.
Miss Pang smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be afraid. This is a knock on the door. My personal maid always wakes me up in this way. If I don't answer, she won't dare to rush in."
Zhou Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged: "Miss Pang, in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, please go in quickly. I have to go back to the Yamen to resume my duties."
Miss Pang smiled and nodded, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes. Although there were thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say to Zhou Ming, she could not say a word, and all the words were choked in her throat.
Zhou Yiming was startled and almost bounced away. At the same time, he also knew in his heart that Miss Pang really had feelings for him.
He felt a sigh of relief in his heart, alas, it was all his fault for his damn charm!
"Miss Pang, I have sent you home safely, there is no need to be sad anymore." Zhou Ming could only talk about him.
Miss Pang forced a smile, choked with sobs for a long time, and finally said: "Mr. Zhou, please help me go in."
"good."
Zhou Yiming supported and lifted her up again, and finally sent Miss Pang into the house through the window.
The two people were separated by the window. One stood outside the window and the other stood inside the room, staring at each other wordlessly. Although neither of them said a word, the look in their eyes was enough to express everything.
"Mr. Zhou, take care of yourself in the future." Miss Pang said softly.
Zhou Yiming cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Take care."
At this time, the maid outside the door saw that there was no movement in the room after knocking on the door for a long time. She panicked and hurriedly knocked on the door and came in. When she came to the bed, she saw that no one was there. She was about to shout loudly when she suddenly saw the window. The figure in front, if you look closely, is Miss Pang.
