In the end, the two of them still left …
Was it really a good idea to leave two children at home to take care of the family business while going on an incognito trip?
GongYimo's heart softened when she thought of Gong Coco's pitiful crying. "Why don't we wait until they're a little older before leaving? They're so pitiful …"
Gong Dai secretly gritted his teeth. He didn't know who he took after. His two children were more scheming than the other. In front of the Royal Sister, they put on an expression of "I've been wronged, but I won't say it". In front of him, they used all kinds of tricks and extortion!
This time, he was able to successfully bring his wife out. Who knew how many benefits he had promised? Thinking about it made his heart ache. They were clearly so adorable when they were young.
"Don't worry."
Gong Dai held it in for a long time before he said sullenly.
"They're all grown up. They also need to temper themselves."
GongYimo thought about it and agreed. Anyway, it wasn't like they weren't going back. Then, when she thought about how they were out, she instantly felt a little excited!
"Then where are we going to play?"
Gong Dai dotingly tapped her little nose. "We're going on an incognito trip to experience the people's lives."
GongYimo glanced at him disdainfully, then became cheerful again. "Since that's the case, let's go to Jiangnan! The wealthier they are, the easier it is to breed corrupt officials. Let's get rid of evil for the people! "
Gong Dai looked at her energetic appearance and smiled lightly.
"We'll do as you say."
Thus, the two of them rode along the Grand Canal and slowly went south on the same horse. At the turn of spring and summer, the scenery was just right. With their outstanding looks, they were a beautiful sight wherever they went.
GongYimo had no choice but to disguise herself and Gong Dai slightly. Although they were still very beautiful, they didn't have the feeling that people couldn't take their eyes off them.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Jiangnan.
They didn't go to the big cities, but to the small towns where the scenery was as beautiful as a painting.
GongYimo had been having so much fun recently that she didn't want to go home. Her favorite thing to do was to go to those handicrafts and eat those unique foods.
"Ah! It smells so good! I think I found something good to eat! Gong Dai, wait for me here. I'll go buy it! "
Before Gong Dai could say anything, his lovely wife smelled the aroma of the food and ran away. Gong Dai sighed and smiled as he drank his tea. Recently, he finally enjoyed the happiness of having only him in his little wife's eyes. His charm was indeed much greater than the children's!
This street was very lively. There were not many people drinking tea in the tea shed where Gong Dai was, so it was relatively quiet.
Suddenly! A person flew in from the door and smashed the tables and chairs. Everyone in the tea stall was shocked and ran away!
If GongYimo was here, she would definitely do something about it. However, Gong Dai just frowned and continued to drink his tea calmly. He still had to wait here for the Royal Sister to come back!
An arrogant and despotic voice was heard, "It's your honor that I took a liking to your daughter! You have to pay back what you owe. Don't be so shameless! "
The man who fell to the ground struggled to get up and was about to rush out again.
His voice was furious. He held the broken leg of the chair as if he wanted to fight with his life on the line!
"Beast! Give my daughter back to me! "
Then, a woman's sobbing voice was heard, "Father! Save me! "
Gong Dai pretended not to hear. Since he wanted to gamble, he should bear the consequences. When the owner of the tea stall saw that the other party was making a ruckus in front of his door, causing the customers to run away, he muttered softly, "Ai! What a disaster for the innocent. "
However, he did not dare to say it out loud. It was obvious that the other party's background was not small.
The old man's failure to appreciate kindness made the scoundrel very unhappy. He kicked him again.
At this moment, the young girl broke free from the scoundrel's servant's hand and rushed towards the old man. In her panic, she saw Gong Dai and her eyes lit up!
The other party had starry eyebrows and bright eyes. Although his expression was cold, he exuded a noble aura from his bones. He was dressed in ordinary black clothes. Even if there were no embellishments, it was still very eye-catching. She almost did not think about it and begged him for help!
"Young master, please save my father!"
She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, but it made Gong Dai slightly frown. The other party was so noisy and looked like a fox. If the Royal Sister saw this, she might be jealous. Therefore, Gong Dai took out a banknote from his sleeve.
"Take this to pay off the debt. Don't bother me."
His voice was surprisingly cold, making the crying young girl tremble. However, it was also surprisingly pleasant to hear.
The young girl trembled as she took the banknote. On it was clearly written one hundred taels!
Her father only owed someone ten taels of silver and she was being dragged to pay off the debt. However, this quiet and handsome man did not even look at it and gave her one hundred taels!
The young girl's heart was thumping and many thoughts flashed through her mind. However, she did not have time to think about it. She quickly ran back and gave the money to the other party and said loudly.
"This is one hundred taels! Just now, that young master had already bought me! I'll return the money to you! Return my father's promissory note to me! "
At this time, the scoundrel was surprised. Someone actually spent one hundred taels to buy a little girl. Although she looked good, she was not a courtesan in the city!
He walked into the tea shed and saw Gong Dai. Gong Dai was just sitting there quietly and did not look at him. However, that cold and noble temperament made the scoundrel a little hesitant about the other party's origin. However, when he thought about it, what kind of noble person could there be in this small town? Therefore, he unceremoniously stepped forward and said loudly.
"You want to buy her? One hundred taels is not enough! "
When the young girl heard this, she angrily said, "My father only owes you ten taels! Why is it not enough? "
The scoundrel looked at her lecherously and said with a smile, "Little girl, do you think that I, Master Qiu, am a philanthropist? If you borrow money, you have to pay interest. Your father owes me two months. With the interest, you should pay me three hundred taels! "
"What?!" The old man sat on the ground and shouted in horror, "But, you clearly said that you only want ten percent of the interest!"
The scoundrel wearing fancy silk took out a piece of paper, "Here, it's written in black and white! You can't read, who can you blame? "
As he spoke, he stared at Gong Dai with his pair of small eyes, "If this little brother wants to be a good person, sure! Give me three hundred taels and this little master will leave immediately! "
The young girl looked at Gong Dai with a pale face, but in the end, she did not speak. Three hundred taels, she would never see that much money in her entire life!
Gong Dai's white fingers imprinted on the green jade teacup. These were all tea sets brought by the Royal Sister, as well as the best tea leaves and spring water.
Unfortunately, these people spoiled the mood of tea tasting for no reason.
Listening to the noise by his ear, Gong Dai stretched out his hand and a gust of wind snatched the loan receipt from the scoundrel's hand. The scoundrel was startled when he heard Gong Dai's cold voice.
"Scram."
Anyone with a brain would know that this move of his was not ordinary! The scoundrel had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He wanted to make a move, but the other party was unfathomable, making him somewhat timid. He could only grit his teeth and speak.
"Little brother, it's better to mind your own business. This is Yang City, it's not a place where you can behave atrociously!"
Gong Dai did not speak.
The scoundrel said again, "Little brother, you're not a local right? In Yang City, there's no one who doesn't give face to Master Qiu!"
