"That's a man, right?"
"What about men? Can't men be friends?!" Xiao Qintang turned red and shouted in retort.
"Of course, but the key is who he is. Do you follow him out every day and understand him? What if he is a bad person?"
"Why don't I understand?!"
Xiao Qintang became anxious when he heard Ruan Yunluo questioning his friend. She started talking about her encounter with Lu Yitong...
Ruan Yunluo had actually heard of this encounter in his previous life.
It is said that on the Double Ninth Festival a while ago, a little beggar broke into Mao'er Lane and was caught by the city supervisor. According to the rules, the city supervisor must confiscate all the money the little beggar got in Hat Alley.
Naturally, the little beggar was unwilling, so he knelt down in tears and begged for mercy, saying that the money was reserved for his mother's medical treatment, and hoped that the city supervisor would let him go.
The city supervisor refused and said something like "This is not a place for people like you", which made passers-by very angry. At this time, a man named Lu Yitong stood up. Not only did he speak out righteously that Maoer Lane should be opened to beggars, but he also paid a fine for the little beggar.
It's just that he is short of money and doesn't have enough money...
At this time, Xiao Qintang stepped forward and helped Lu Yitong make up the money. Naturally, Lu Yitong insisted on paying back this money...
The two of them got to know each other over time.
It's just that their acquaintance in the previous life was a coincidence, but their acquaintance in this life was Ruan Yunluo's intention.
On the Double Ninth Festival, she deliberately brought Xiao Qintang, who was confined in the Buddhist hall, with her. In fact, it was not only to let her watch the excitement of Xiao Chongjing and Yin Xiaorou, but also to not delay the acquaintance of the lovers.
It's just that Xiao Qintang knows nothing about Ruan Yunluo's "help". At this time, she is still immersed in the story of Lu Yitong's heroic rescue of the little beggar and cannot extricate herself.
When the story was over, she finally looked at Ruan Yunluo, "So sister-in-law, stop looking down on others! Brother Lu just has a bad family background, but he is both a good man and kind-hearted. Can he be a bad person?" "
"Is he really that good?"
Ruan Yunluo echoed with surprise on his face, but disagreed in his heart.
There is a natural reason for the emergence of a regulation. The reason why beggars are not allowed in Mao'er Lane is that on the one hand it does not want to upset the nobles, but on the other hand, is it not to protect those beggars?
Ten years ago, a small incident happened in Mao'er Lane - when a beggar was begging for food, he accidentally stepped on the foot of a young man and was beaten to death by the young man in the street.
Logically speaking, beating someone to death in the street is a crime of beheading.
But that time, nothing happened and it passed without any trouble.
Because the young man who beat up people in the street, his surname was Hua, he was Hua Weiwei's biological uncle and the biological brother of the current queen. Even more because the man who was beaten to death was just a beggar.
No one would imagine that the emperor's brother-in-law should pay for his life by a beggar.
Even the beggar himself would not dare to feel this way.
So from then on, the city jail issued an order not to allow beggars to enter Maoer Lane.
This is of course an order to bully the weak and fear the strong, but it is also an order of last resort.
As far as Ruan Yunluo knew, the director of the Municipal Supervisory Office at that time was actually a very responsible official. After the beggar incident, he actively cooperated with Dali Temple in the hope of seeking justice for the beggar who died tragically. But how can an earthworm shake a tree?
So until now, he is still just a manager of the city prison.
Xiao Qintang couldn't understand this kind of thing without being in contact with the court, but as a civil servant, Lu Yitong shouldn't understand.
If he doesn't understand, that can only mean two things. Either he doesn't have enough vision; or he is pretending not to understand, and he has an agenda! ——There were many female relatives on the Double Ninth Festival that day. If you want to win the hearts of women, heroes saving the beautiful and heroes saving the weak are the best choices.
Forget about heroes saving beauties. Which female family member can appear in Hat'er Lane without a bunch of servants and maids following her? Ordinary people can't get close at all. Only when heroes save the weak can there be any hope.
No, I caught Xiao Qintang, a fool.
She also didn't want to think about Lu Yitong, a poor man who couldn't even pay a beggar's fine. Why didn't he take advantage of the holiday time to find more connections to get a good job for himself, and why did he come to Mao'er Lane with his classmates?
That little money was not enough for him to buy a candied haws in Maoer Lane.
Even if he was just hanging out, why didn't he just borrow it from his classmates when he didn't have enough money to pay the fine?
Even if his classmate is not here, he can still ask for the address and then collect the money and return it to the General's Mansion. Asking a young lady to meet in private, what kind of words does this sound like?
He clearly wants to catch big fish with small bait!
Ruan Yunluo still maintained his previous evaluation of Lu Yitong in his heart, but he pretended to be curious and looked at Xiao Qintang, "Aren't you afraid that he is approaching you deliberately because of your identity?"
"How could it be?" Xiao Qintang shook his head quickly and looked at Ruan Yunluo with dissatisfaction, "Sister-in-law, don't always judge a gentleman with a villain's heart! Now in his heart, I am just a little maid in the general's palace. He doesn't even think about it. Don’t know my identity.”
"oh?"
Ruan Yunluo was surprised for a moment, and then nodded appreciatively. Looking at Xiao Qintang's dazzling Yuhua brocade, she couldn't help but smile, "According to what you said, that Lu Juren is really a kind-hearted, upright character, not interested in fame and wealth, and a peerless good man. ?”
"Of course!" Xiao Qintang and Yourong smiled with satisfaction. She happily took Ruan Yunluo's arm and whispered, "So, sister-in-law, not only should you not stop me from going out to meet Brother Lu, but you should help me! Brother Lu is such a good character, I should contact him more , you will definitely learn a lot of good things!”
"As long as you are willing, I have no objection, but..." Ruan Yunluo hesitated and looked at Xiao Qintang with some embarrassment, "It's just that I can't explain to your eldest brother."
"What's there to explain? He's not my father!" Xiao Qintang snorted coldly.
"But he is a general." Ruan Yunluo's face was full of worry. She reminded Xiao Qintang in a low voice, "Your brother Lu, he hasn't found a job yet, has he?"
"Uh..." Xiao Qintang was speechless.
Who taught me that this was the capital?
A capital with many monks and few meat.
There are only a few good vacancies in total, and the number one, second, and third overall is not enough for the relevant households. How can it be the turn of one of the candidates?
Let alone the fat one, even if it's not the fat one, it won't be his turn.
Those Jinshi and Gongshi are still waiting eagerly...
"What should I do..." Xiao Qintang looked at Ruan Yunluo helplessly, hoping that she could give him a solution. Ruan Yunluo shook his head and said that he was powerless.
In his previous life, Xiao Chongjing was willing to help Lu Yitong because Ruan Yunluo was fiercely opposed to his affair with Yin Xiaorou at that time, and Xiao Qinyu was also losing his temper over the matter... Only Xiao Qintang supported them in the family, so he naturally turned towards her.
But this time... it's too late for him to bother Xiao Qintang...
So Ruan Yunluo is very curious. If Lu Yitong doesn't get Xiao Chongjing's help in this life, will he still be willing to support Xiao Qintang like in his previous life?
