Chapter 17 Public Affairs

Originally, Chu Tianya came to talk to Xiao Linglong about something important, but he didn't want to make a disturbance. Now Chu Tianya feels that Xiao Linglong really has the kind of "natural nobleness" that Uncle He said.

Because she doesn't seem to care much about the constraints of the law, and she doesn't know much about the worldly wisdom among the people in the market. Born domineering and self-righteous - except for the royal nobles who have been raised in the palace and Zhumen since childhood, who else would be like this?

"Qixingzhai, why did you send such a thorn to cooperate with me? With her temper, she may not be able to mess up the big plan at any time!" Thinking about this, Chu Tianya couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

But there is nothing we can do. We still have to talk about what we should discuss with her.

So Chu Tianya walked to Xiao Linglong's wine pavilion and was waiting to knock on the door. She happened to hear the little girl in the wine seat crying while crying. She said that her hometown was in Lin'an. Because of the flood, she lost her house, so she came to her brother who was far away in Taiyuan with her dependent father. Unexpectedly, the brothers and sisters in the family are so powerful that they can't tolerate the father and daughter eating and drinking at home for nothing. So he drove them out. The old father died of illness in anger, leaving this poor little girl behind. The others could only hum two small songs, but only got the Fuxing inn to sing at the bar.

Hearing this, Xiao Linglong slapped her palm on the wine table and scolded, "Your brother is so unfilial. How can you allow your brother and sister-in-law to bully your father and daughter like this? - lead the way, I'm going to meet him!"

"Girl, don't!" The singer was scared and said in a hurry, "My brother is an honest man, and my brother and sister-in-law are rich in Taiyuan. He turned the door and became a son-in-law, so... he can't help it. In fact, he also helped us secretly, but he was discovered by his brother and sister-in-law. From then on, he was severely restrained and dared not meet us again. However, when his father died, his brother Chang'an was buried. Otherwise, the little girl can only sell her body to bury her father!"

"Then he is too cowardly!" Xiao Linglong was still angry, "Just say where he lives. I didn't hurt him, I just called him to teach him a lesson. At least let him take you home to take care of you!"

"No, that's not right..." The singer was almost begging.

"This is not appropriate and that is not the case. Is it possible that you have been here all your life?" Xiao Linglong seemed to be more angry than this singer. She said angrily, "There are so many submissive women like you in the world that make those men have no fear of women as toys! - Don't be afraid, I'll make the decision for you!"

Hearing this, Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and knocked on the door.

"Come in. I knew you were outside, why are you knocking on the door?" Xiao Linglong was angry and said angrily.

Chu Tianya pushed the door and entered and looked at the little girl. Although it was not amazing and excellent, she was also beautiful, but she was too thin and timid, shrinking from time to time, just like a little sparrow trembling in the wind and rain.

"Girl, I heard what you just said." Chu Tianya said pleasantly, "Don't be afraid. I'm a native of Taiyuan, and at least I have some way. If you are in trouble, I can help you."

"Thank you, the officials... The little woman dares not bother the officials." The singer's voice is as small as a mosquito, timid.

Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya and suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, why don't you marry him, and you will have a settlement in the future. Anyway, he hasn't married yet!"

"Ah! ..." The little girl was stunned for a moment, her face turned red in an instant, and her mouth squeaked, but she couldn't say a word.

Chu Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, "Miss Xiao, I'd like to ask you a favor. Can you not say such non-comesical words? - Don't be nervous, little girl. Her words are outnumbered. Tell me, what are you going to do now and see what I can do to help you?"

"How can the little girl have any plans? In the past, I could eat and eat here, but now I have to cause trouble and offend people. The owner of the restaurant will not let me in again. The little girl said pitifully, "Now I'm homeless without relatives and family, and I've cut off my life again. I really don't know what to do in the future."

Xiao Linglong smiled awkwardly, opened the silver fan and shook it leisurely, and joked, "I've said, it's best for you two to get married. One has an insider, and the other has support. It's both perfect!"

Chu Tianya was about to be happy. He simply took her words as a whisper and said to the woman, "Do you have any other relatives?"

"The little girl also has a sister. She married in her early years and married a merchant from Shu." The little girl said, "My sister and brother-in-law are extremely kind. It's just that the road is far away and the road is difficult. At the beginning, I didn't have enough entanglement with my father, so I came to Taiyuan. If we had known this, even if we begged all the way, we should really go to Shuzhong to rely on our sister!"

"Then you go now!" Chu Tianya said and untied the money bag from his waist, which contained some silver coins rewarded by Tong Guan a few days ago. He stuffed the money bag into the little girl's hand and said, "This is for you to be entangled."

The little girl panicked when she took the money bag and knelt down on her knees, "It's too much money. I dare not take it!"

"Let you take it, just take it. You're welcome." Xiao Linglong said with a smile, "It's easy for him to get the money, and it's rare for him to do something good. Just think of it as helping him accumulate virtue.

"This..." The little girl knelt tremblingly, looked up at Chu Tianya, and immediately lowered her head again. "I, I really dare not take it! I'm so old that I've never seen so much money!"

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing. He didn't have much idea about the money of this era. I only know that the currency used for daily circulation is copper coins, and gold and silver are indeed precious. I just didn't expect that this bag of silver could scare her, so she said, "Okay, I'll take it for you. Needless to say. We still have business to talk about. Get up and do whatever you have to do.

"Xie official..." The little girl got up carefully, raised her head boldly, and stared at Chu Tianya with panic.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing.

"Little girl, you should remember the face of the benefactor. In the future, you should pray for the benefactor in your heart day and night." The little girl pulled the money bag tightly and said nervously, "The little woman's maiden name is Zhang, and the little character Yimin... Dare, dare to ask the benefactor, what's your name?"

Chu Tianya smiled helplessly and said, "My name is Chu Tianya. All right, you go quickly, leave as soon as possible, and go to Shuzhong to rely on your sister.

"The little girl said goodbye to Chu Engong!" The little girl suddenly knelt down again and kowtowed several times on the ground. Then he got up in a hurry and retreated in panic like a child who had done something wrong, and carefully pulled the door.

"The woman from the south is so timid and cowardly." After Meng Xiaowan went out of the door, Xiao Linglong shook her head and sighed, "It seems that they all believe that women are born to be bullied and despised by men."

"Well, I'm not interested in talking to you about my ideals and life." Chu Tianya sat down and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya with a smile and waved a fan, "Ada Anu, go outside the door to guard."

"Yes, master." Two strange-shaped servants answered and went out of the door.

"Say it!" Xiao Linglong shook the fan with a neat and leisurely posture.

Chu Tianya didn't bother to care about her arrogant attitude. He did business and told Xiao Linglong about Ma's expansion. Then put forward her own suggestion, let Xiao Linglong inform the people of Qixingzhai to say hello to the righteous troops in Xishan in advance, preferably to introduce them.

After listening to Chu Tianya's words, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but be a little surprised, "In just a few days, you really rebelled against the generals around Tong Guan?"

"I don't have the ability to rebel against anyone. It's what Tong Guan did and was unpopular. At most, I'm just inducing it." Chu Tianya said, "The axiom is in the hearts of the people. I believe that if there is a horse expansion, there may be a second and third horse expansion. I hope I can get more people to come and fight against the golden soldiers to save Taiyuan in the shortest time. Miss Xiao, does Guizhai have any dealings with Xishan Zhai?

"To be honest, I'm not sure." When it comes to the right thing, Xiao Linglong did not sneer or be cynical. She said, "It's only been a few months since I joined Qixingzhai, and I'm not clear about the copycat. However, our eldest brother is very famous in Hedong. He helped Bo Yuntian, who was called 'the most hero in Hedong'. The heroes in the green forest around Hedong would sell him a little thin noodles. If he is willing to mediate, it will not be difficult to do.

"Then there is Miss Lao Xiao, it's convenient to exercise from it." Chu Tianya hugged a fist.

Xiao Linglong turned her face and looked at Chu Tianya for the first time. She nodded slightly, "It's my job."

"Thank you very much."

"Ada, come in."

The thin Ada came in, bent down and stroked his chest and said, "What's the master's order?"

"You go out of the city overnight and go to Qixingzhai to see your eldest brother." Xiao Linglong said, "I have something important to do. I need you to pass it on."

After saying that, Xiao Linglong told Ada about the expansion of the horse. After listening carefully, Ada was ready to leave.

"It's getting late. It's better to open the gate tomorrow and hire a car to go." Chu Tianya kindly reminded him.

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "No city can close Ada, and no car can run faster than Ada's legs - go and go back quickly!"

"Yes, master." Ada agreed and went out.

Chu Tianya looked at this Ada walking out of the door and couldn't help but be surprised: Is this thin man really as awesome as Xiao Linglong said?

"Are you doubting that my arrangement is inappropriate?" Xiao Linglong seemed to see through Chu Tianya's thoughts.

"It's not doubt, it's amazement." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "Is this Ada really so agile?"

"If it hadn't been for his two legs and Anu's fists, I would have been a pile of white bones now." Xiao Linglong replied indifferently, and suddenly her beautiful eyes raised her eyebrows slightly, "By the way, I have something to ask you."

"Please speak."

"What is the origin of the old military servant in your family?" Xiao Linglong asked.

"I'm not sure either." Chu Tianya briefly told Xiao Linglong the origin of Uncle He, which he knew, and then said, "Why does Miss Xiao want to inquire about him?"

"It's not that I want to inquire, but that someone wants me to inquire on my behalf." Xiao Linglong said, "But since you don't even know his details, just think I didn't ask."

Chu Tianya said curiously, "Who asked you to inquire?"

"There's no need to tell you, right?" Xiao Linglong said leisurely, "If there is nothing else, 'Chu official', please!"

"Farewell." Chu Tianya didn't want to stay here more. He smiled indifferently and got up and left.

Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya out of the door with the remnants of her eyes and found that he had not looked at himself twice all the time. She couldn't help laughing.

"Fourth Brother Bai is right. This Chu Tianya is indeed not as frivolous as rumored. After saying something to herself, she shook the fan and thought to herself: I have been observing him from the time he came in until he went out. He only looked at me three times in total. The first time was to see the salute after entering the door, the second time he asked me for help, and the third time was that I took the initiative to meet him. Moreover, these three times he looked at me with his eyes and regarded me as a man... Interesting! This person is either a real gentleman who is not confused; or a very calm and self-control person.

"It's strange. I think he is only about 20 years old. How can he get along with him? I feel that he is already an old man with rich experience in the city, which makes me feel unpredictable?" Xiao Linglong couldn't help wondering, and smiled gently, "No matter what he is, it's none of my business. I just have to follow my eldest brother's instructions and do business!"
