Loyang Jin

Before the young man finished speaking, the mother and son kneeling on the ground quietly looked at each other and winked.

Then, the mother and son suddenly stood up, turned around and ran away. The speed is unusually fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already run seven or eight meters away.

The young man turned around immediately when he heard the strange noise. When he saw the mother and son running away, they chased after him angrily: "You bastard, you stole my young master's purse and you want to escape. It's not that easy!"

Stole... purse?

Ling Jingyan stared at the young man chasing after her, feeling extremely annoyed in her heart.

Does she get into trouble by doing this?

The answer is obvious.

After less than a cup of tea, the young man came back with a dark face. Seeing that the troublesome girl was still there, she couldn't help but snorted heavily.

Ling Jingyan coughed a little and asked cautiously: "Master, have you caught up with the mother and son?"

The young man rolled his eyes at her angrily: "The two of them ran away so fast, how could I catch them back?"

The mother and son are nimble and agile, and are very familiar with the surrounding environment. After getting into the alley, the figure quickly disappeared. It was strange that he could catch up.

The young man became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said: "I came to the Huichun Hall today specifically to get a number plate for my family to seek medical treatment. As soon as I got here, I met this mother and son begging. I saw how pitiful they were, so I gave them I gave them some loose money. I didn't expect to be targeted like this. One of them pestered me to thank me, and the other quietly stole my wallet. Fortunately, I found out early and was caught before they could escape. Right."

"If you hadn't come to question me without asking, I would have gotten my wallet back long ago."

Ling Jingyan's pretty face was filled with blush, she was both shy and embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I should have asked the whole story before I said anything."

"Now that the thieves have run away, there's no point in saying sorry." The young man spoke very sharply.

Ling Jingyan gritted her teeth and said, "That's it! I'll pay you whatever money you have in your wallet."

The young man glanced at her sideways and said with a smile: "Oh? Thank you very much. I have twenty taels of cash in my purse, plus three hundred taels of silver notes, and a fine jade pendant. "

Ling Jingyan: "..."

You're really welcome!

The money may be said to be too much, but it may be said to be small, but it is indeed a lot.

Ling Jingyan's daily monthly expenses are only fifty taels. If you think about it this way, wouldn't it mean that more than half a year's worth of monthly data will be lost all of a sudden?

Ling Jingyan felt a little heartbroken and couldn't help but muttered: "Everything in it is your fault. Who knows whether it is true or false."

As soon as he said it, he was afraid that the young man would fall out, so he quickly added: "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. In short, I will pay you everything."

The young man looked at her sore and stingy look, and most of the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated. Suddenly, I felt that this young girl who appeared out of nowhere was so frank and silly and cute.

This matter has nothing to do with her at all. What he said just now was because he was angry and deliberately making things difficult. I really didn't expect that she would take it seriously...

After his anger subsided, he took a closer look at the girl's appearance. She was fresh and delicate. Especially those almond eyes, which are big, smart and very cute.

The young man's heart skipped a beat and he asked deliberately: "Do you have any cash on you?"

Ling Jingyan shook her head honestly: "No. I only brought some broken silver with me. However, my fifth uncle is inside. I'm going to ask him now if he has brought it. If he has, I will give it to you. If not, I will give it to you. Please leave your name and address, sir, and I’ll have someone deliver it to you another day.”

"My surname is Zhang, and my single name is Jian. My father is the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the last name is the year." The young man took a deep look at Ling Jingyan: "I wonder what the girl's name is?"

How can a woman's maiden name be freely told to others?

Ling Jingyan responded casually: "My surname is Ling, and my father is a doctor in the Ministry of Industry." After saying that, she turned around and entered the Huichun Hall.

Zhang Jian thought for a moment and then followed.

…

"Uncle Wu," Ling Jingyan walked up to Mr. Ling Wu with a face of shame and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any money with you? Can you lend me some first?"

Fifth Master Ling was stunned and a little surprised: "I brought it. Why do you ask? Do you want to buy some rouge and gouache? When Ah Shu is diagnosed, you two can go together!"

The look on Ling Jingyan's face became even more shameful: "No, I don't want to buy rouge and gouache. I have other uses. Fifth uncle, can you lend me three hundred and twenty taels first?"

Three hundred and twenty taels?

Ling Wuye frowned. What does Ling Jingyan suddenly need so much money for?

Even Ling Xiao saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but come over and ask: "Cousin Yan, has something happened? You're so good, what do you want the money for all of a sudden?"

Ling Jingyan's pretty face turned red, and she whispered what had just happened.

Ling Wuye Ling Xiao: "..."

What does this mean?

Fifth Master Ling was quite speechless. If the time and place were not inappropriate, he would have really wanted to scold Ling Jingyan with a straight face!

Ling Xiao asked curiously: "Cousin Yan, where is the man named Zhang Jian? Where is he?"

Ling Jingyan murmured to someone not far away: "That's the tall one wearing a blue Confucian shirt with an unlucky look on his face." How could he have had his wallet stolen if he didn't have an unlucky look on his face? She is also going to lose money!

Ling Xiao kept grinning after hearing this.

Zhang Jian was originally standing five or six meters away. At this moment, he suddenly stepped forward and bowed his hands to Master Ling Wu: "This is Master Ling, right? Junior Zhang Jian."

He seems quite polite.

Fifth Master Ling suppressed his curiosity and smiled at Zhang Jian: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I heard A Yan tell you what happened just now. It's all because of A Yan's reckless impulsiveness. Mr. Zhang, please don't worry. We will provide the money and Mr. Zhang will not suffer losses in vain."

Ayan!

What a nice name.

Zhang Jian recited several times in his mind, with a polite smile on his face: "Master Ling Wu misunderstood. I just said that just to joke with Miss Ling. In fact, there are only a few taels of silver in that purse, which is not worth a cent." carry."

Ling Jingyan: "..."

Ling Jingyan turned her head suddenly, her almond-shaped eyes seeming to spit out sparks: "Zhang Jian, you are actually playing tricks on me!"

A smile quickly flashed across Zhang Jian's eyes, but the expression on his face was innocent: "I didn't know you would take it seriously."

Ling Jingyan's face turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth secretly.

What a great Zhang Jian, I finally remember you!
