Two women cherish each other
Zhang and Changsun Baili were both startled, turning their heads to look at the old man who had pushed open the warehouse door.
"Uncle!"
"You stinky brat! You secretly did something like this behind my back, just you wait and see how I'll punish you!"
Zhen Ming bitterly recognized this person, it was indeed the old man with the surname Gao who had asked him many questions at Chang Sun's clothing store last time.
He hastily walked forward and bowed: "Old Man Gao."
The old man didn't recognize him at first, "Who are you?"
"The junior has a bitter fate, and had once seen Old Man Gao in the store."
The old man carefully sized him up for a while, finally recognizing a familiar outline, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Nonsense! It must be that girl Bailey's idea again!"
He then turned his head to look at Zhang's face, which was full of surprise, and walked up to her, sizing her up from head to toe, asking: "Is this young lady the famous Tofu Xishi Zhang of Luoyang?"
Zhang forced himself to bow and said: "Zhang E has seen Master Gao."
"Hehe, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Chang Sun Baier blocked the old man, afraid that he would scare Zhang Shi, and scolded: "Uncle, don't be so startled, you'll scare Sister Zhang! She's just suffered a serious injury and her body is still very weak."
"How dare you!" Old Gao slapped his hand on her head, "Now the whole Luoyang City is looking for those two, and they actually offended both the Salt Gang and the Mining Gang. I've never seen anyone so reckless! If those people find out they're hiding in Changsun Clothing Store, can I still do business?"
Chang Sun Bei'er rubbed the spot where she was hit with a wronged expression, hugging Gao Lao's arm and coquettishly said: "Even if they know they're here, with Uncle sitting in the store, I reckon they wouldn't dare come in to catch people."
Her voice was clear and moving, Zhen Ming's goosebumps stood up all over his body. Such a voice would make any man feel weak all over, who would have thought that this Long Sun Bei Er actually had such a killer move.
The old man heard this and was extremely pleased, smiling somewhat complacently: "Indeed."
Then another explosion hit Chang Sun Baier's head, shouting: "They don't dare to return, they don't dare, but you, this stinky girl, dare to deceive me, it's not right! Not even your uncle is in your eyes, it's really too presumptuous, can't be punished!"
Chang Sun Bei'er shook his arm, and said in a soft voice: "You've already hit me with two walnuts, can't you spare me? At most, I'll listen to you from now on and not work overtime at night again. Tonight, I'll give you a back massage, and pinch your feet for you, so you can sleep soundly until dawn."
"This is about right." The old man smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Zhen Mingxu and said: "Outside, people are currently searching for your whereabouts. After leaving here, I won't be able to protect you either. You also heard Bei Er's meaning, if you want to continue staying here, I won't be unkind and drive you out. However, this is not a solution in the end. What to do next is up to you to decide."
Zhen Ming was deeply moved, and he didn't expect that these two people who had never been close would risk offending the two major factions to keep the two wanted criminals at home. No wonder Long Sun Bei'er, this eccentric beauty, was so well-liked with an uncle like him.
"Thank you, old man. I originally wanted to stay for a few more days and let the goose recover from its injuries before leaving, but there are several friends of mine waiting outside the city, and I'm afraid that if we take too long, they will also be exposed. The goose's injury is not serious now, so we'll leave today."
The old man said: "Leave by the back door, I've already prepared horses and carriages for you. Once you leave this gate, you don't know me, and I don't know you either. Do you understand?"
"The junior understands." Zhen Mingku bowed again to him, "Can the old gentleman please tell me his name? If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay heavily."
Before the old man could speak, Zhangsun Bei's expression changed to one of utter incredulity as he took over the conversation: "You actually don't recognize Gao Shiyan, the former Minister of Rites in Luoyang, who is now idly living at home with nothing to do every day?"
The old man had a triumphant expression on his face.
He had some understanding of the father and daughter, with a smile on his face, flattering: "It turns out to be Old Man Gao, I didn't recognize Mount Tai, forgive me, forgive me."
Chang Sun Bei'er said with a serious face: "This time you've finally understood, in the future if you want to recognize which family's young lady, you must let her say matchmaker and tie the red thread, find his old man and he will definitely agree, his old man's materialistic son is a person who has no equal on earth or in heaven, without his old man saying it won't be possible..."
By this time, Zhang's wife behind her was laughing so hard she was shaking all over.
The old man heard this, and the smug look on his face gradually turned into a bitter smile. He raised his hand to give her a good scolding, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he let out a long sigh: "You can mock your uncle now, but in the future you'll know how much I care about you!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the warehouse door, going into the store.
Chang Sun Baier again whispered to Zhang Shi for a while, instructing her on some important matters. Although they had known each other for a short time, due to Yang Dang's involvement, they seemed like old bosom friends who had known each other for a long time, extremely intimate, making Zhen Ming Su feel somewhat jealous.
As they were leaving, Zhangsun Bei'er specially instructed Zhenming to take good care of Zhangshi and not bully her, warning him against making her sad or distressed. Only then did he send them off to the back door of the Zhangsun clothing store.
At the gate, a carriage prepared by Gao Shiyan for him and Zhang was already waiting, with the logo of Changsun Clothing Store on it.
"Ba'er girl, trouble you to tell Yang Cong that I've taken his sister Zhang away. Once we find a place to settle down, I'll have someone send word to let him know."
Chang Sun Bei'er reluctantly watched as Zhang Shi was escorted onto the horse carriage, waving goodbye to her. After saying that to Chang Sun Bei'er, Zhen Ming Ku got on the horse carriage with the logo of Chang Sun's clothing store and drove it himself towards the south of the city.
……
Sitting in the carriage, a soft call came from inside the compartment: "Zhen Gongzi!"
Zhen Ming was in a hurry to catch up with the horse carriage when he heard her calling out, and for some reason, he felt a little depressed.
"What's wrong?"
"Is your aunt and Xiao Que still living with you?"
"Don't worry, I've already arranged a place for them to stay and given them a year's worth of living expenses. Once you're settled, we can find another opportunity to bring them over."
Zhang heard this and let out a sigh of relief, no longer speaking.
"By the way, what did Miss Bai say to you just now?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhang's voice was somewhat panicked.
"When we arrive at the South City Gate, if there are people from the Salt Security checking, you know what to do, right?"
A moment of silence in the carriage.
"What's wrong, is your wound hurting again?"
"You're just a lowly servant, what's with all the questions? Just focus on driving properly, or you'll end up shaking Miss to pieces! And if you do, I won't hesitate to give you a good thrashing until your butt is covered in bruises!"
Mr. Zhang's scolding voice came from inside the train car.
Her charming and pleasant voice, combined with her overbearing tone, made her sound particularly persuasive, exactly like a spoiled rich girl who was used to ordering people around, but this impression was quickly ruined by the sweet laughter that followed.
Zhen Ming smiled wryly and said: "If it weren't for the farce that followed, you would have played the role of a spoiled young lady perfectly."
The carriage was rushing forward when suddenly a horse neighed and it came to an abrupt stop.
