Dali Temple Small Dining Room - Chapter 435
It is only a few steps away to lead the way.
Wen Mingtang followed the little beggar into the teahouse, and then Zhao Sishan and others who wanted to follow in were stopped by the little beggar: “Then I only invite Miss Wen alone.”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yuan immediately frowned, opened her mouth instinctively, and was about to speak, but her hand was held back by Zhao Sishan.
“Then I’ll wait here for Mingtang girl!” Zhao Sishan said, nodding again to Wen Mingtang through the little beggar, and grabbed A Bingtong Tangyuan who was about to step forward, and said, “I won’t up.”
With Zhao Sishan’s words, the little beggar breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile, and said to Wen Mingtang, “Miss Wen, please!” He rubbed his hands subconsciously while speaking, and his demeanor seemed a little anxious.
Wen Mingtang let out a “hmm”, turned around and followed the little beggar.
Watching the two of them go up to the second floor of the teahouse, Tang Yuan finally couldn’t help but turned around and asked Zhao Sishan: “Zhao Sishan, how can I let Master Wen go up alone? What if…”
Zhao Sishan didn’t speak, just took the glutinous rice **** and retreated to the alley next to the teahouse with A Bing, and after standing still, he said leisurely: “I have known Miss Mingtang for many years, and the one who called her Miss Wen has only met one before. Later, that person poisoned girl Mingtang’s soup, if it wasn’t for two greedy rats who snatched it up first, girl Mingtang would have disappeared long ago.”
That’s why Zhao Sishan instinctively raised his heart when the beggar said “Miss Wen”.
Hearing what Zhao Sishan said, Tang Yuan and A Bing’s expressions suddenly changed. Hearing this, he turned around and was about to rush into the teahouse, but Zhao Sishan stopped him: “What’s the hurry?” Zhao Sishan said, and took it back. Hand, said unhurriedly, “If the person who called her wanted to tear up his face, why did he send a little beggar here? Just pull Mingtang girl in.”
What does this mean? Tangyuan and A Bing are a little unclear.
Zhao Sishan crossed his arms, looked at the busy street in front of him, and said with a sneer, “Today, during the Lantern Festival, there are many people who want to rest after shopping. Not to mention restaurants and restaurants, they sell groceries. The shop, as long as there are desks, is already full of people. But you see that the lobby of this teahouse is only half full of people, and you know it is packed.”
As for who is the owner of the teahouse…Since the girl Mingtang is invited to say “important things”, it is obvious who is the owner of the teahouse.
Reminded by Zhao Sishan, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan shuddered, and when they came to their senses, they hurriedly said, “Then I’ll go to Dali Temple to see if there are any idle servants…”
This response is not slow! Zhao Sishan nodded, but raised his hand in a “wait a moment” gesture.
Seeing this, Tang Yuan and A Bing did not leave immediately.
After waiting for a while, with a brisk whistle, the little beggar who brought Wen Mingtang over just now stepped out of the teahouse alone, and then Zhao Sishan gave a wink, and A Bing, who had been waiting by the side, rushed up and covered the beggar. son’s mouth, and pulled him into the alley next to the teahouse.
The beggar was suddenly restrained by covering his mouth. He was about to shout “Help”, but when he saw that it was Zhao Sishan and others, he was probably too shocked, and forgot to shout and struggled for a while.
After being pulled into the alley, Ah Bing let go of the hand covering the beggar’s mouth, glared at the beggar, and asked, “You dragged our master Wen into the den of thieves in such a hurry, is it because you took the thieves’ benefits? ?”
The beggar heard the words and quickly waved his hands and said, “How dare you do something that violates the law? We are supposed to be expelled at any time. If we break the law and cannot enter the city, wouldn’t we starve to death?”
A Bing sneered: “Then why are you so eager to lure people into the den of thieves? Don’t talk nonsense, yes or no, you will know everything when you meet with us.” After saying that, he made a gesture to cover the beggar’s mouth again. .
The beggar was startled when he saw this, and quickly explained: “It’s not a den of thieves, but it’s an adult in official robes. Your Master Wen didn’t see any reluctance when he entered, so the two sat beside the table Drink tea and talk!”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Zhao Sishan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke out at this moment. She looked at the beggar and said, “Just now you kept urging her, as if when she entered the teahouse, you Then you can get great benefits!”
This is what she has been wondering about. I can no longer let the beggar go around in circles and deliberately bypass this problem.
Facing Zhao Sishan’s serious face, the beggar who was restrained by A Bing and glutinous rice **** felt a little apprehensive, so he had no choice but to explain: “My grandfather met a vicious dog while begging the day before yesterday and bit his leg. A large area, waiting for money to see a doctor! That adult is kind, seeing that my grandfather is seriously injured, he said that if I bring Miss Wen in, he will give me a sum of money so that my grandfather can see a doctor. Please do me a favor I just took the money, remember to take grandpa to see a doctor! If it’s too late, my grandpa’s legs will really fail!” At the end, he started to sob.
Tang Yuan and A Bing hesitated when they heard this, and looked at Zhao Sishan.
Zhao Sishan waved his hand, motioning for them to let the beggar go.
After the beggar left, without waiting for Tang Yuan to speak to A Bing, Zhao Sishan sneered: “What a kind man, he sent someone to do things in light of his illness! If I guessed correctly, it was Mingtang girl If she refuses, the little beggar will definitely kneel down and ask her to save her grandpa’s life. If girl Mingtang doesn’t go, the adult will bear the good name, and the evil deeds will be entirely on girl Mingtang’s head. What good would a wicked old friend be?”
It was the first time for Ah Bing and Tang Yuan to see such an aggressive move in their life, and they were dumbfounded, and when they came back to their senses, they hurriedly said: “How can Master Wen face such a vicious old man alone? people…”
“This person wants face, and he won’t tear his face openly to do evil things.” Zhao Sishan said coldly, “I have seen this kind of embarrassing concubine in the palace. In the end, all the bad things are done by others , the bad luck is all other people’s bad luck, and she is the only one who has benefited and is as innocent as a lotus flower that emerges from the mud, which is strange.”
Of course, what she knows, Wen Mingtang also knows.
Zhao Sishan said lightly: “Ms. Mingtang has her own opinion on this matter. What I’m going to do is to go to Dali Temple and invite some servants who are idle for the time being to come over in case of emergencies!” , looking at A Bing with glutinous rice balls, said: “You two go, I will wait here.”
…
…
Zhao Sishan was right, Wen Mingtang had indeed been waiting for this moment.
Following the little beggar into the house, she immediately saw the “old friend of the Wen family” who was wearing an official robe, sitting at the table by the window and nodding to her with a smile.
Although the other party has not yet introduced his name, but looking at that familiar face, with the beard growing up around the corner of his mouth, isn’t he the ex-fiance who was scolded by her that day?
Well, still different! Compared with the former fiancé, this bearded man’s appearance and temperament are much more mature. The most important thing was the look in his eyes. Although he was smiling, his smile was gentle and somewhat elegant and suave, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Recalling Mr. Ye who had made a special trip to the prison before Wen Xuance was beheaded, and saw Wen Xuance’s last side, Wen Mingtang couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: The city is really deep!
