Chapter 373: Unpopular?
Pei Yi faced the two little eyes and turned his head away uncomfortably. Just like Wu Haoran just now, he looked down from his high position in the tea room at the crowd of people below.
Liu Zhenying raised her eyebrows and started to say something similar, but changed her address to "Uncle Pei, what did you buy in Jingguzhai just now? In fact, Changchunzhai also has pens, inkstones, and paper."
Pei Yi glanced at her calmly and replied, "Ms. Liu, I don't spend money on shopping."
Liu Zhenying: …
"Sister Liu, my cousin got his writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone from Grandpa Pei, and all the food he bought when he went out was charged to Grandpa Pei's account." Xiao Yining helped explain for the fellow villager.
"When I usually buy other things, I follow Uncle Shunzi and let him pay."
Moreover, Xiao Shunzi also understood the nature of his fellow villagers, and every time he left the palace to rest, he would send someone to inform them.
In a word, there are people who support my fellow villager wherever he goes, but Xiao Yining is not as lucky as him.
Pei Yi curled the corners of his mouth and did not deny it.
After hearing this, Liu Zhenying couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Pei Yi in disbelief.
This business was destined to fail, which dealt a heavy blow to the little girl who was full of confidence just now.
Plus, she had just taken advantage of Xiao Yining to accept Wu Haoran's generous gift of one hundred taels of silver.
Liu Zhenying waved her fan irritably. She felt a bit anxious when she saw the uncle and nephew. She didn't want to embarrass herself here, so she said, "Sister Yining, you have also looked around the shop. Let's go back. It's very hot."
The little kid's head was already covered with sweat, unlike her sister who was wearing three layers of clothes, and her hands couldn't get warm. But she still asked, "Sister Liu, don't you need to warm up?"
Liu Zhenying really wanted to roll her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "No, no one will come into our shop to buy things anyway. They all go next door."
The downstairs was still deserted. In such a busy city, no one came here. This shop was probably one of the best in the street.
This little girl was finally temporarily defeated by reality.
Pei Yi gently waved the folding fan in his hand, stood up and said, "In this case, I will let Ah Da say hello to Senior Brother Wu, and we will go home."
However, at this moment, something strange happened. A scream suddenly came from Jingguzhai next door, which alarmed the pedestrians on the street and stunned the three little ones in the teahouse.
"It sounds like my godfather's voice..." Xiao Yining blinked.
"It's Mr. Wu San..." Liu Zhenying also reacted and quickly picked up the baby and ran downstairs.
At the same time, Pei Yi reacted quickly. He was agile and jumped down from the window of the teahouse, landing steadily on the ground, causing the surrounding pedestrians to exclaim and scream.
When the three kids arrived, they saw Wu Haoran holding his arm in pain, with a bright red blood staining the paper he had just pasted and flowing down his chin. He was also carefully helped to a chair.
When Xiao Yining saw the man's miserable appearance, he was immediately shocked and ran to his side, anxiously asking, "Godfather...how did you get hurt?"
Wu Haoran smiled bitterly and was about to answer with pain, but the boy who was soliciting customers at the door just now knelt down in front of him with a plop and knocked his head loudly.
"Damn it, damn it! I slipped and fell down the stairs, and I fell on you, causing you injuries. Damn it, damn it..."
Not only him, even the owner of Jingguzhai knelt down in front of Wu Haoran to apologize.
Pei Yi stepped forward to check the injury and said helplessly, "Senior Brother Wu's arm bone is broken!"
Hearing this, Wu Haoran's face turned even paler than before. He covered his arms tightly, and his fingers tightened unconsciously.
It took a hundred days to heal his broken bones, but he only had two months left to take the imperial examination.
The three little ones obviously thought of this problem as well, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for this person. If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait another three years.
Wu Haoran's eyes flashed with disappointment. He smiled bitterly and took the note off his eyelids with trembling hands. "I was wondering why my eyelids were twitching so much today. It turns out you were waiting for me here."
Then he said to the boy, "Forget it, you didn't mean it, so don't take it anymore!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
After hearing this, the young man felt as if he had been pardoned. With a pale face, he said thank you several times, then stood up tremblingly and stood aside.
The shopkeeper was furious when he saw this, and kicked the waiter fiercely again: "What a fool! Send Master Wu to the clinic for treatment!"
Pei Yi looked at Wu Haoran, who was dejected and didn't want to talk anymore, and shook his head. He said to the shopkeeper, "No need, we will go by ourselves. Remember to send the money for the medicine and the apology to the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion."
"Don't worry." The shopkeeper nodded quickly in response.
Little Yining also put his hands on his waist and said to the shopkeeper, "My godfather will be killed this year. If he is delayed because of this matter, you will be punished. Wu Anhou will not forgive you either, hmph."
The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he timidly sent the people out.
At this time, A Da had already driven the car to the entrance of Jingguzhai and carried Wu Haoran into the car and settled him down.
This sudden change made everyone feel depressed.
Inside the car, Wu Haoran leaned against the cushion, his face as pale as gold paper, his forehead dripping with sweat. He clenched his teeth, enduring the pain.
Pei Yi looked at him with a worried look on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Wu, why don't you bring a servant with you when you go out?"
Wu Haoran forced a smile and replied weakly, "The servant who followed me just had a stomachache. I asked him to go back and rest."
Pei Yi sighed lightly, how could it be such a coincidence that when something happened, there was no one to protect him.
He lifted the curtain and looked at the Liu family carriage that was following closely behind. There were two maids sitting in the front of the carriage alone, not to mention the five or six servants protecting them in the back.
However, Wu Haoran didn't even have a carriage with him. Just now, he saw that this person came in a rented carriage.
Inside the Liu family carriage
Little Yining was still mumbling, "My godfather is so unlucky. This guy has been working for a long time, but when he was serving my godfather, he fell on him and broke his arm."
Liu Zhenying looked down at the handkerchief rolling in her hand and replied calmly, "It can only be said that it is bad luck, just like me."
Then, she raised her eyes to look at the little boy and changed the subject, "Sister Yining was really full of vigor just now, but if Mr. Wu San really can't get out of this situation, the Marquis of Wu'an will not punish the people of Jingguzhai for him."
The little kid was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Sister Liu, is Jingguzhai's background very powerful?"
Liu Zhenying shook her head. "You are the goddaughter of Mr. Wu San. You will know it in the future."
Xiao Yining frowned. His godfather was so rich and his mother even ran a chain store. How could he not be favored?
