Chapter 3 A wealthy family

I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhu Xiaozhou thought about the words of the man in white, thinking that the person who redeemed the pledge must have come.

Suddenly he got up from the bed.

"Coming, coming!"

But when he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

An old man dressed strangely stood in front of the carriage, as if he had been waiting for a long time. "You take your things and come with us. My lady is waiting for you."

I'm afraid I really encountered a ghost.

Zhu Xiaozhou was about to retreat.

But the old man took out two silver coins and handed them over, asking Zhu Xiaozhou to pick them up in person.

Zhu Xiaozhou thought, if it was really money, it would be a big loss if he didn't continue.

He immediately took it with both hands with a smile on his face and took a look in his hand - Good guy, is it really Yuan Datou!?

He put it in his mouth with a smile and took a bite, "If this thing waits until daytime, it won't suddenly turn into paper, right?"

The old man was stunned and shook his head.

"Don't worry."

"It's done!" After confirming the quality of Yuan Datou, Zhu Xiaozhou felt secretly happy. He returned to the shop and folded the tape carefully, put it in the box, and went out with the box in his arms.

The old man motioned for her to get in the car.

After hesitating for a while, I finally lost to the desire for money.

Zhu Xiaozhou obediently got on the carriage.

The old man jumped in front of the car and sat down. The driver raised his whip and whipped the horse, and the horse pulled the car forward.

Zhu Xiaozhou held the box that could make her rich and paid attention to the changes in the scenery outside the window. She felt that the carriage was running very fast. As she walked on the street, it suddenly turned into a deep mountain and old forest.

It is surrounded by green grass and green space, and the trees growing here are thick enough for a person to surround themselves.

Just as he was feeling surprised, the carriage stopped.

The old man said, "We're here."

Zhu Xiaozhou held the box and poked his head out.

Suddenly, I was shocked and speechless.

Getting off the carriage, it felt like a lifetime ago.

There was a blur in the eyes, and the revolving scenery perfectly overlapped with the deep house compound in front of me. Under the guidance of the old man, I entered from the side door and saw the endless corridor and path with endless twists and turns.

Occasionally, I passed by a few beautiful women wearing cheongsam.

Smelling the scent of powder on their bodies, the laughter made one's bones brittle.

The old man turned sideways and reminded her not to look around.

Zhu Xiaozhou lowered his head like the old man, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of soldiers stationed outside the gate?!

Those people were dressed in the old blue military uniforms of the Republic of China, carrying long-barreled guns, standing tall and standing in front of the door with their heads raised high. They were so majestic!

Zhu Xiaozhou shivered with fright and secretly broke into a cold sweat.

I followed the old man to the small south building where the young lady lived. The gray and white two-story small foreign-style building was elegant and unique.

The old man asked Zhu Xiaozhou to wait outside, and then took the box from her hand.

At this time, he seemed to suddenly hear someone in the building saying something. The old man sighed and asked Zhu Xiaozhou to send the box in by himself.

The moment Zhu Xiaozhou was about to step through the door with the box in his arms.

The old man warned in a sinister voice, "Don't talk nonsense when you see the lady."

Zhu Xiaozhou was excited, but he still held the box firmly and entered the door. There were maids in the room, but they looked lifeless. They pointed upstairs, meaning that Zhu Xiaozhou should go upstairs with the box.

I thought I could get the money after meeting the lady.

Zhu Xiaozhou didn't care about worrying anymore. He hugged the box and climbed the creaking stairs to the second floor.

Glancing at the furnishings in the room, Zhu Xiaozhou secretly marveled. The layout of the furnishings was very exquisite, and the identity of the owner of the room must be extraordinary. A sapphire screen lay across the room, vaguely revealing the woman half-leaning on the bed who was reading a book.

But when she walked out from behind the screen, people were shocked.

She was wearing a more classic blue school uniform from the Republic of China period, with two braids and a black skirt that was longer than her knees.

Typical girls' school dress.

Could it be that he traveled to the Republic of China?

The girl was only fifteen or six years old, her face was pale and weak.

Zhu Xiaozhou handed over the box, and the girl took it carefully. Her eyes turned red the moment she opened the box. Before Zhu Xiaozhou could ask for the money, she turned around and ran to the bed, where she lay down and started crying.

A scholar in white clothes with charming eyebrows.

A girl's school student, pure and wealthy.

interesting.

"Did he leave any words?" the girl asked Zhu Xiaozhou.

Zhu Xiaozhou recalled, "He only said that someone will come to redeem it at midnight tonight. He asked me to just take my things with me, and he might not treat me badly."

Don't dare to omit a word.

"As expected, he has nothing to say to me." The girl cried hard.

It's heart-wrenching to hear.

Zhu Xiaozhou wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how.

At a glance, you can tell that the man is cheating on the woman. The more she tries to persuade her about emotional matters, the more she goes wrong.

"You go to Uncle Liu to receive the reward. Just say it's me who said it, and you'll get an extra reward." The girl raised her head and said this.

"Thank you, miss."

Zhu Xiaozhou did not dare to stay longer, turned around and went downstairs, glanced at the four maids standing on the first floor, and was shocked again by their lifeless looks.

I ran out of the Xiaonan Building and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, how is my lady doing?" Uncle Liu stepped forward to ask, looking very worried.

"Crying." After Zhu Xiaozhou finished speaking, he added, "Somehow, she cried after seeing the contents of the box. She asked me to go to Uncle Liu to receive the reward, saying that it was her who said it, and I would get an extra reward.

.”

The most important thing, she didn't forget.

Uncle Liu first handed over a bag of silver coins that he had prepared in advance, then asked someone to pick up another bag and handed it to Zhu Xiaozhou.

Zhu Xiaozhou weighed the two heavy bags of silver coins and estimated that there were two hundred of them.

I felt happy secretly in my heart. If I took this back and sold it, I would really make a fortune.

"I still have something to do. You go out the way you came. The carriage is waiting for you outside the door. You can get on the carriage and you will return to where you came from." Uncle Liu explained.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I can do whatever you want."

Zhu Xiaozhou felt extremely happy.

Watching Uncle Liu leave, she weighed the two bags of silver coins, feeling that they were too obvious in her hands.

Simply tied to the belt.

One bag on the left, one bag on the right. I pulled my coat and just covered it.

Hey, I was so beautiful in my heart that I didn’t care whether it was sinking or not, so I was ready to go back.

Following the way she came, she walked through the alleyway and corridor, and met those graceful young ladies whose bodies were exuding the fragrance of makeup and powder. They touched her face a few times in fun, leaving her there.

There was a bright red lip mark.

Just like Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty, he entered the Pansi Cave and tried his best to escape.

His body was covered with their makeup and powder. He patted his pockets on both sides and was still overjoyed.

I was about to go out when I suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure on the stone bridge in front of me.

It's the man who wants to redeem his hairband.

Isn’t this a coincidence!?

It turns out they are together.

Thinking that he might be able to get another reward, Zhu Xiaozhou joined in. "Are you also a relative of this family?"
