Chapter 1464 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
Shi Li and Luo Qingyan's marriage was settled in such a strange way.
Luo Qingyan's mood suddenly brightened, and he walked back to the inn humming a little tune.
At the door of the inn, I saw two ragged little beggars being picked up by the waiter, one in each hand, and thrown into the street.
"You're so young, and you still want to eat for free! Bah!" The waiter was not polite at all and raised his foot to kick the man.
Luo Qingyan frowned and stopped him.
"Such a young child, let's be merciful when we can."
Luo Qingyan scolded the waiter and turned to look at the two people huddled together on the ground.
The two look almost exactly the same, like twins.
He looked to be only four or five years old at most, and I had no idea how long he had been begging outside. There was no sign of panic on his face, but instead he looked like he was used to it.
The clothes on his body were tattered, revealing many bruises of varying ages.
Luo Qingyan took out all the copper coins he had and handed them to them, and wanted to ask them to follow him so that they could at least find a place to stay.
The two little beggars were like frightened birds. They grabbed a few copper coins from his hand and ran away without giving him a chance to speak.
Luo Qingyan could only give up and sighed as he watched the two figures rush into the crowd.
He quickly put the matter behind him, looked at the scars on his hands, and smiled innocently.
He used a lot of strength to grab the sword blade at that time, and the scar left on his hand was very deep, but in Luo Qingyan's eyes, those were not scars, but his honor and pride.
After seeing the scars on his hands, Luo Qingyan began to feel lovesick again.
I don't know what Shi Li is doing at this moment...
Shi Li is much busier than him.
The boxes and cages all over the yard need to be sorted and stored, and there are many trivial matters that need to be decided one by one, such as Luo Qingyan's marriage, who should take over Baiyuan Villa in the future.
The betrothal gifts sent by Luo Qingyan were numerous and valuable. Shi Li was worried about handing it over to his subordinates, so he sat patiently beside them to supervise.
Every time a box was opened, the servants around would involuntarily exclaim.
Looking at the things in the boxes, I understood why Baiyuan Villa could pay 12,000 taels of silver to hire someone to escort a group of goods. They are truly wealthy enough to rival a country.
The boxes were filled with real gold and silver, as well as various priceless treasures, which were dazzling to the eyes.
Shi Buhuo occasionally passed by and was amazed at the things in the boxes.
"Mr. Luo really spent a lot of money to marry you."
Shi Li was very distressed.
If Luo Qingyan was a penniless boy, she would definitely be very happy now and would not have to worry about anything because she could earn money to support her family.
But Luo Qingyan was rich and owned Baiyuan Villa, but he wanted to marry into her family, which he really couldn't live with.
Shi Li couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally sat up and decided to talk to Luo Qingyan again.
This is a matter of a lifetime, it is not good to be so careless.
She didn't want to attract attention, so she wrote a letter after dawn, called a servant, and asked him to deliver it to Luo Qingyan.
The errand boy nodded and said yes while holding her letter, and walked out of Wenchang Escort Agency swiftly. But he did not go to the inn where Luo Qingyan was staying, but walked into a small alley after many detours.
He walked to the door of a house deep in the alley, saw that there was no one around, opened the door and slipped in quickly.
About a cup of tea later, the servant came out of the door again.
Standing outside the door, he straightened his clothes pretentiously, and when he raised his hand, a silver note appeared in his sleeve. He then quickly hid it, looked up at the sky, and turned back slowly.
He has always been efficient in doing things, otherwise Shi Li would not have given the letter to him.
Seeing him come back so soon, Shi Li didn't feel strange at all, and just asked casually: "Did the letter arrive?"
"Don't worry, Miss. I will deliver it to Mr. Luo personally. Mr. Luo will be very happy to receive the letter." The servant lowered his head and answered respectfully.
Shi Li had no doubts and heard him speak again.
"My mother who lives in the countryside sent a letter yesterday. She is not feeling well. I would like to ask for leave to go back and see her. Miss, is it okay?"
Shi Li had no reason to disagree, and she gave him a string of copper coins, asking him to go back and spend more time with his mother.
The servant thanked him profusely, turned around and went back to the servant's room, quietly packed up all his soft feelings, and escaped under the pretext of returning home.
His mother died a long time ago, and what he said just now was just a lie to Shi Li.
After leaving Wenchang Escort Agency, he plunged into the largest underground gambling house in the city without hesitation.
Shi Li knew nothing about this.
Because there were too many people in the city and he didn't want to create any more trouble, he wrote a letter to Luo Qingyan to meet him in a pavilion outside the city in the evening.
Unfortunately, the letter did not reach Luo Qingyan, as someone else was waiting for her outside the city.
