There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"How about the reputation of the Yuan family and the Ren family?" Xiao Keyan couldn't help but inquire.

Dong Jingyi thought for a while and said, "General Yuan is strict with the army. When my father mentions him, his words are often filled with admiration. As for Mr. Ren, he is the political envoy of Xiliang who took over last year. I didn't listen to me much. Dad mentioned it."

Xiao Keyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She continued to go to the meeting with Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin. When Dong Zhenghua came to find them, the three who bought a lot of things went back to the city happily.

In the next few days, Xiao Keyan, accompanied by Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin, not only walked around Ganzhou City, but also inspected his terraced fields and pastures.

By mid-June, there were more and more people in Ganzhou.

On the street full of people, Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin, who were disguised as men, strolled down the street each with a folding fan. Their graceful and handsome appearance attracted the attention of people on the street.

"What a handsome boy!"

Hearing this, Xiao Keyan folded a fan to cover her face, chuckled softly, and looked at Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin jokingly: "You two pay attention, don't go shopping, it will attract the hearts of other girls. ."

Dong Jingyi rolled her eyes indecently: "It's you who should pay attention, but don't mention me and Lan Xin, it's you, Young Master Xiao!"

Xiao Keyan smiled: "Don't talk about it, just like my brother and my brother, if I am really a man, I promise to make you two dizzy."

Just as Dong Jingyi was about to speak, she heard Sun Lanxin's "Huh" and pointed at the fabric shop diagonally opposite: "Isn't that the number one beauty in Xiliang?"

Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi hurriedly looked in the direction of Sun Lanxin's fingers, and they saw Ren Yaning, who had met in the assembly square a few days ago, and several of her followers.

Ren Yaning is really good looking, but the most attractive thing about her is that she has a delicate temperament that is completely different from most Western Liang women.

She was panting slightly, her tears were a little bit, and her gestures and gestures were all pitiful, and people couldn't help but feel the desire to protect when they saw it.

No, someone immediately fought for her.

In the clothing store, Yuan Yonghao held a piece of red yarn from the Western Regions in his hand, and looked at the brocade-clothed son who was holding the other end of the red yarn with contempt.

"Cao Xingwu, I saw this red gauze first, don't you understand that it's first come first?"

Cao Xingwu looked arrogant. Others were afraid of him, Yuan Yonghao, but he was not afraid. He intensified the pulling force in his hand and hummed, "Have you paid the money? If you don't, then this young master is also eligible to buy it."

Ren Yaning, standing between the two, looked at this and the other, anxious and at a loss.

On the street, Xiao Keyan saw that there was a good show to watch, so naturally he would not miss it. He and Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin gathered at the door of the clothing store with the crowd, watching the competition in the store with great interest.

Xiao Keyan asked Dong Jingyi in a low voice, "Do you know the person who competes with Young Master Yuan?"

Dong Jingyi nodded: "I know this, he is Cao Xingwu, the son of the commander of the capital, this young master Cao, he is very good at reading, and he is a master when he reaches the crown. like."

Xiao Keyan looked at Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu, who were pulling a piece of red gauze, and said with a low smile, "I see a lot of girls getting jealous for a certain son today, but today I saw two men trying to get over it. It's kind of novel and interesting that the beauties are happy and fight."

The onlookers looked down on it, but Ren Yaning in the shop was so anxious that he almost cried: "You guys don't want to fight, I don't want this red gauze anymore."

Cao Xingwu immediately said: "Yaning, don't worry, I will definitely buy this red gauze and give it to you."

Yuan Yonghao didn't speak, but he proved with practical actions that he would not give up this red gauze.

I saw Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu's hands getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly, with a 'tear' sound, the red yarn was torn into two pieces from the middle.

The red gauze was destroyed, and not only Ren Yaning, but also the onlookers were pity.

Xiao Keyan's attention was not on the red gauze, but on people.

The red veil was torn off, and Young Master Yuan remained motionless, but Young Master Cao staggered a step.

It can be seen that in martial arts, Yuan Gongzi still has to be above Cao Gongzi.

The red yarn was destroyed, Yuan Yonghao's eyes flashed annoyance, he threw half of the red yarn in his hand on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Unlucky!"

Today, he went out for a stroll and came across the red yarn in this shop.

Somehow, the girl in red that I saw in the assembly square that day appeared in my mind. I felt that she must be beautiful in this red gauze, so I couldn't help but want to buy it.

As for now, he doesn't even know who the girl is, but it's not in his consideration.

Who would have guessed that Cao Xingwu and Ren Yaning had just gotten the red gauze, and as soon as they came, Cao Xingwu would snatch the red gauze from him.

Can he agree to this?

On the other hand, Cao Xingwu was comforting Ren Yaning: "Yaning, don't be sad, I will immediately ask the boss to order you a red gauze that is exactly the same."

The red yarn was destroyed, Yuan Yonghao didn't want to stay in the shop, so he left half of the money to buy the red yarn, and strode out of the clothing store.

As soon as he stepped out of the store, Yuan Yonghao saw Xiao Keyan who was bowing his head and smiling, and at a glance, he recognized that she was the girl in red that he saw at the rally, even though she was disguised as a man at this time.

Xiao Keyan was talking to Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin in a low voice, when she suddenly realized that someone was looking at her, and when she looked up, she saw Yuan Yonghao staring at her.

The light in her eyes made her heart beat faster.

Xiao Keyan looked around, this time she was sure that this was Young Master Yuan, who had just staged a show of two men and one woman with others, but at this moment, she looked at herself daringly, and immediately gave him a stern look.

Being stared at by the beautiful woman, Yuan Yonghao's expression suddenly shook, and he wanted to go over to chat with him when he stepped up. Who knows, the beautiful woman turned her head and pulled the people around her away.

Yuan Yonghao is not the kind of person who gives up easily. He wanted to chase quickly, but Ren Yaning and Cao Xingwu came out at this time, and Ren Yaning blocked his way apologetically.

"Brother Yuan, it's all my fault today. If I hadn't taken a fancy to that piece of red gauze, you and Brother Cao would not have had a conflict. Please look at me and reconcile with Brother Cao, okay? ?"

Yuan Yonghao was in a hurry to chase people, waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "I, Yuan Yonghao, are not such a small-bellied person." After speaking, he passed Ren Yaning and walked into the street.

"Flower-hearted radish!"

Xiao Keyan thought of the look in Yuan Yonghao's eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she cursed in a low voice.

Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin didn't hear it clearly, so they didn't understand why.

Sun Lanxin: "Why, do you want to eat radish?"

Xiao Keyan: "."

Dong Jingyi smiled and said, "The radish soup in the Ganzhou restaurant is very delicious. How about we go there for lunch at noon?"

Xiao Keyan was not easy to explain, so she nodded helplessly: "Okay!"

Just when Xiao Keyan and the three entered the box on the second floor of the Ganzhou restaurant, Yuan Yonghao and his two friends also met in front of the restaurant.

As soon as they met, two of Yuan Yonghao's friends began to joke: "Yonghao, okay, I heard that you are in favor of Miss Boren and openly compete with Cao Xingwu for a piece of red yarn, is it true?"

Yuan Yonghao was a little speechless, and said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? I liked a piece of red yarn, but it has nothing to do with Miss Ren."

The two friends just thought Yuan Yonghao was embarrassed, they winked at each other, and then gave Yuan Yonghao a look of 'they understand'.

Yuan Yonghao laughed angrily: "Believe it or not, it's up to you!" After speaking, he walked into the restaurant.

In the private room on the second floor, the three of Xiao Keyan, who were shopping and hungry, had already eaten with chopsticks.

"How is it, the food in this restaurant still suits your appetite?" Dong Jingyi asked with a smile.

Xiao Keyan nodded: "Not bad." After saying that, she took a glutinous rice radish ball and took a bite.

Just as the three of them were having a good time, noises and fighting came from downstairs.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Keyan sat by the window, and as soon as he stood up, he saw a group of officers and soldiers appeared on the street, and the officers and soldiers quickly ran into the restaurant.

"problem occurs!"

Xiao Keyan walked quickly to the door and opened a gap in the door, ready to explore the situation of the restaurant.

As the officers and soldiers entered, the sound of fighting in the restaurant became more intense.

As soon as Xiao Keyan stuck her head out, she saw three people walking out of the private room next door. When she saw the face of the man in the lead, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Carrots!

Yuan Yonghao also saw Xiao Keyan, and before he was too happy, he saw several merchants from the Western Regions with knives running up to the second floor. go.

"What happened?"

Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin came to Xiao Keyan nervously.

Xiao Keyan closed the door before opening her mouth: "Some businessmen from the Western Regions are making trouble!"

Hearing this, Dong Jingyi immediately became angry: "It must be those Western merchants who don't want to pay tariffs. After the mutual market in Ganzhou is opened, there will always be some Western merchants who are unwilling to pay tariffs every year. Therefore, my father has a lot of headaches."

Xiao Keyan frowned: "The management of the mutual market has to be strengthened. Businessmen in the Western Regions not only evade taxes, but also dare to openly hurt people. It shows that we are too gentle with them!"

At this moment, a roar came from downstairs: "Don't come here, come again and I will kill her!"

"Let go of her! If you dare to hurt her hair, all of you will have to die."

Xiao Keyan opened the door again. Because of Yuan Yonghao's obstruction, no merchants from the Western Regions came up from the second floor. At this time, everyone opened the door and watched the situation downstairs.

"Someone was kidnapped!"

"It's that girl Ren, the most beautiful woman in Xiliang!"

Hearing this, Dong Jingyi's expression changed. She stood by the door and looked downstairs. Seeing that Ren Yaning had really been kidnapped, she said anxiously, "If something happened to Miss Ren in Ganzhou, my father would definitely Being held accountable by Mr. Ren."

Xiao Keyan looked at the situation downstairs, pondered for a moment, reached out and took the slingshot around her waist, then walked out of the room and stood in front of the fence.

Downstairs, Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu stood on either side of the merchants from the Western Regions who were holding Ren Yaning hostage, with officers and soldiers in the middle.

The situation was tense.

"Let us go, or we'll kill her!"

Cao Xingwu saw that the dagger of the merchant from the Western Regions was on Ren Yaning's neck, and he quickly signaled the officers and soldiers to let the gate out.

"Go, get us a carriage!"

"hurry up!"

The two merchants from the Western Regions who were holding Ren Yaning down slowly moved towards the gate.

Upstairs, Xiao Keyan calculated the speed at which he fired the slingshot, decisively took out a soft muscle pill, and shot it directly at the businessman in the Western Regions who held Ren Yaning hostage.

"what!"

The sudden attack shocked the Western merchants, and the dagger in his hand relaxed.

At this moment, Yuan Yonghao saw the opportunity and rushed over quickly. A side kick directly kicked the person several meters away, and then he pulled Ren Yaning and threw it to Cao Xingwu.

When he was about to attack the second western merchant, a white pill suddenly flashed across his line of sight, and it hit the western merchant's people accurately.

Then, the merchants from the Western Regions fell down softly like a deflated ball.

Yuan Yonghao turned his head sharply, just to see Xiao Keyan retracting the slingshot.

is her!

What a great head shot!

Yuan Yonghao had a look of admiration on his face, and smiled and gave Xiao Keyan a thumbs up.

Xiao Keyan hummed and ignored it. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had controlled all the merchants in the Western Regions, she turned around and returned to the private room.

Yuan Yonghao was stunned for a while, then touched his chin, looking a little puzzled.

This is the third time he has been ignored by the beauty!

Is his handsome face unattractive?

In the private room on the second floor, Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin were watching with Xiao Keyan's slingshot, and they said that they would prepare another one next time.

Xiao Keyan smiled: "It's useless to prepare, you have to have a high hit rate."

Dong Jingyi: "Keyan, why are you playing so accurately?"

Xiao Keyan: "Just practice more."

The three waited for a while, and when they saw the officers and soldiers escorted the merchants from the Western Regions to leave, they also prepared to leave.

As soon as the three stepped out of the door, they saw Yuan Yonghao smiling and standing outside the door.

"Thank you girl for helping me just now!"

Xiao Keyan glanced at him, ignored him, and went straight past him downstairs.

Yuan Yonghao was silent for a while, and quickly chased after him: "Girl, I have no ill intentions, I just want to express my gratitude."

Hearing this, Xiao Keyan stopped and turned to look at Yuan Yonghao: "I saved Miss Ren, what does it have to do with you? Do I need you to thank me?"

Yuan Yonghao: "." The tone is aggressive, did he offend her?

Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin looked at Yuan Yonghao and quickly went after Xiao Keyan.

"Who are you looking at?"

Two of Yuan Yonghao's friends came over, followed Yuan Yonghao's line of sight and looked downstairs, and one of them said "Huh": "Isn't that Miss Dong?"

When Yuan Yonghao heard it, he quickly grabbed him: "Do you know those three girls?"

The friend smiled and said, "Why don't you know him? That's the daughter of Dong Zhifu's family. I've seen it several times."

Yuan Yonghao's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be a girl from Dong Da's family, no wonder. She has such a personality."

Father usually mentions this Dong Zhifu very much, and he appreciates it very much. Thinking of his parents' vague proposal before, Yuan Yonghao couldn't help but jump up in his heart.

Because of the hijacking by the merchants from the Western Regions, Mrs. Dong did not dare to let Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi continue to run away, and the two could only stay in the mansion to pass the time.

It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, Xiao Keyan became bored. Dong Jingyi saw it, thought about it, and asked the maids to go out and inquire about the gossip of Ganzhou and come back to them.

In the afternoon of the same day, the maid hurriedly told the two about the new things of the past two days.

"Ms. Ren was kidnapped, and she was frightened and sick that day. After Mrs. Ren found out, she came to Ganzhou City in person. Early this morning, Mrs. Ren took Ms. Ren to the Yuan family's mansion in Ganzhou City. He said that he wanted to thank Young Master Yuan for his life-saving grace."

Dong Jingyi glanced at Xiao Keyan: "You should be the one who Ms. Ren really wants to thank."

Xiao Keyan smiled indifferently: "Am I the one who lacks that kind of gratitude?"

Dong Jingyi smiled and took Xiao Keyan's hand.

Xiao Keyan was frightened by her smile and shivered, and hurriedly pulled back her hand: "If you have something to say, don't do anything, it's not dignified."

Dong Jingyi was amused: "I just wanted to thank you. If something happened to Miss Ren, it would be difficult for my father to explain to Lord Ren."

Xiao Keyan waved her hand casually: "Oh, we don't need to be so polite." After speaking, she looked at the maid, "Continue talking."

Maid: "When Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren left, they were said to be smiling. There are rumors that the Ren family and the Yuan family intend to marry."

"Don't tell me, Young Master Yuan is brave and mighty, and Miss Ren is gentle and beautiful. It's a natural couple."

Hearing this, Xiao Keyan was a little unhappy for no reason: "Heroic and mighty? Why didn't I see it? Just like him, my father, my brother, and my younger brother, if you screw up any one, you will be a hundred times stronger than him. ."

Looking at Xiao Keyan who was suddenly angry, Dong Jingyi and the maid were a little confused and looked at her stupidly.
