Chapter 18 This good man costs a little money

Old Zhao was stunned. No wonder Old Wang couldn't stop thinking about her and almost ruined himself. This girl is really pretty, especially with her drooping eyebrows. What do you mean by "pitiable" and "classical beauty"? I would be numb too if I were her.

"Miss Liu, you don't have to be so polite." Lao Zhao hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting. A friend's wife should not be bullied. This is Lao Wang's sweetheart. Let alone bullying, you shouldn't even have any thoughts about it. Did you hear that, Lao Zhao?

Liu Rulan sat down slowly: "Today, I shamelessly asked my aunt to invite you up. I want to ask, um, how is Mr. Wang these days?"

Old Zhao thought to himself, girl, you are going to marry that dandy bastard, yet you are still thinking about your ex-lover. Isn't that inappropriate? But he is so pitiful, it is not too much to just ask a question, right?

"Brother Wang has been recuperating at home these days. I think he will have no problem taking the exam tomorrow."

"That's good, that's good, I almost killed him"

After saying that, the girl actually started to cry, which made Lao Zhao a little flustered. No, don’t cry, why are you two crying when you see me? I didn’t do anything, and I don’t have any experience in coaxing girls.

Miss Liu cried for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped slowly. During these ten minutes, Zhao Yushu felt very uncomfortable, but he dared not move. He thought that following Yun Gu upstairs was not a good thing. He did not get any benefit from the two beauties, one big and one small. If one of them cried, would his reputation be ruined if it got out?

"Excuse me, sir, but I will withdraw now."

Are you leaving now? You want to leave after crying?

"Wait a minute, girl!" No, I can't come here for nothing today.

Liu Rulan was a little surprised: "What do you want, sir?"

"Please sit down and let me ask you, do you love Wang Yuan?"

Liu Rulan's face flushed immediately: "My lord, my lord, Meng Lang, how can you make such a fuss about love?"

I'm afraid you have done everything you should and shouldn't do N times. I just want to ask you one question: do you love him? Why are you so excited?

"Ahem, what I mean is that Brother Wang loves you wholeheartedly, and you deliberately came to ask me today, which proves that you have him in your heart."

Liu Rulan's eyes were blurred with tears: "Of course there is"

"Why did that girl want to marry the stupid son of the second housekeeper?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. At this point, Lao Zhao saw Liu Rulan's mouth curled up and she was about to cry again.

"Don't cry! Finish what you're saying first, then cry!"

Liu Rulan was so frightened that she actually stopped crying, but she was sobbing and unable to speak.

"Let me tell you, Rulan is young, don't scare her." The door opened and Yun Gu came in again, looking like she had put on some makeup.

Sister, it seems you have been eavesdropping outside just now

Old Zhao remained calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart. His hearing was so good, but he didn't know that Yun Gu was just outside the door. Could it be that Yun Gu was also a cultivator?

"Sister Yun, as far as I know, you should not be afraid of that so-called second butler."

Yun Gu sighed, "I'm not afraid, but Master Zhao, everything in this world has to follow a rule. Master Zhang paid money to help Rulan get rid of her citizenship, and this is allowed by the Tang Dynasty law. This is the rule. If I stop him, Tianxianglou will become a place that ignores the court's laws and forcibly detains women. Even if the lawsuit is brought to Xijing, I will have no right to defend it."

"Denaturalization?"

"Rulan's parents were officials appointed by the imperial court. They made a mistake and Rulan became a slave since she was a child."

What the hell, they can cultivate immortality and still have slaves, isn't that bullshit?

"So, is it that Old Wang's grandson has no money or something? Why doesn't he remove your citizenship?" Old Zhao was a little excited. Is this Wang Yuan a bastard who doesn't recognize people even after he has pulled up his pants?

"My lord, you have wronged Wang Lang. He wanted to get rid of his citizenship for me, but the Wang family is a big family in Pingjiang. Wang Lang is the eldest son and he is unmarried. How can he marry a prostitute like me? I am not worthy of him." Liu Rulan cried loudly. Yun Gu sighed and hugged her.

"So you deliberately ignored him, hoping that he would forget you?" What a melodramatic romance drama. This plot would have been published in a green book in the previous life. Who among the girls would understand it? The subordinate man in the Wang family, bah, bah, bah, he's out of tune.

Liu Rulan was crying and couldn't respond. Yun Gu didn't say anything either. Old Zhao sighed and said, "So Miss Liu is already a member of the Zhang family?"

"That's not the case. To get rid of your citizenship, you need to pay me enough money first, and then go to the Dongdu government office to notarize and exchange your citizenship certificate. The second son of the Zhang family doesn't have that much cash on hand, so I'm just collecting it."

Zhao Yushu looked hopeless. You guys are amazing. You guys started this sad drama just because someone said something. Okay, you ancient people can never think straight. Lao Wang, let me save you this time.

"Sister Yun, how much silver does it cost for Miss Liu to be declassified?"

Yun Gu looked puzzled, and was a little surprised when she thought of a possibility, but she still hesitated and reported the number: "One thousand taels, this is the number set by the Dongdu government."

"How much?" Old Zhao was shocked. The current price in Dongdu is one cent for a steamed white flour bun. One tael of silver is equal to one thousand coin, which can be exchanged for one thousand buns. One thousand taels of silver is one million buns, which can feed Liu Rulan, who is so small, three buns a day for nine hundred years.

Lao Zhao scratched his chest, it hurt a little. Damn, this loyalty is so precious!

He trembled as he took out a treasured banknote from his bosom and put it on the table: "Sister Yun, I have an exam tomorrow and I am afraid I don't have time. I would like to ask you to help me go to the government office and change Miss Liu's nationality. This name and place of origin may require some tricks on your part."

Although Yun Gu thought of this possibility, she was still a little shocked: "Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"

What did he mean by this? Was he madly fighting for his beloved? Or for his gay friend? None of them. In fact, Lao Zhao knew that he just didn't want to see this poor little girl fall into the hands of the people in Prince Fu's mansion, that's all.

Old Zhao sighed, please forgive my willfulness and false compassion: "Are Miss Liu's parents still alive?"

"Gone long ago"

"Okay, how old are you this year?"

Liu Rulan was a little panicked. She looked at Yun Gu and whispered, "Fifteen"

Damn, it's so small, Lao Wang is such a beast

"Do you mind waiting two years before getting married?"

"what?"

"I am originally from Lianshao, Xijing. My parents have long passed away, leaving only a small amount of family property. I came to Dongdu alone to study. From tomorrow on, I will be a student of Baima Academy."

Yun Gu and Liu Rulan looked at each other, wondering why Lao Zhao said this.

"After settling down in the academy, I couldn't bear to see my younger sister staying alone in the old house, so I brought her to live in Dongdu temporarily. Oh, what a coincidence, her surname is Zhao, and her maiden name is Rulan."

Liu Rulan opened her mouth wide, her mind obviously not keeping up

Yun Gu's eyes lit up: "What a pity! Liu Rulan, the popular girl that my daughter had trained since she was young, was spotted by a traveling merchant and was stripped of her status overnight. I don't know where she went."

"Aunt, Mr. Zhao, you, you guys," Liu Rulan was a little overwhelmed.

"Two years later, I guess few people in Dongdu will remember Liu Rulan, and my younger sister has grown up. She fell in love with my classmate Wang Yuan at first sight, so I had to reluctantly entrust my sister to him and marry her to Pingjiang. Of course, if my sister doesn't like him, I still have a lot of dowry and can pick a good talent for her. Although my Zhao family is not a famous family, having a brother studying in a college is not too bad."

With a thud, Liu Rulan knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, you are so kind and generous. I will work like a slave in my next life, but it is not enough to repay you even a fraction of it!"

There is a saying in the past life that if you are handsome, the girl will say that she will marry you in this life. If you are ugly, you can only be a cow or a horse in the next life. Although we don't expect others to marry us,

"Don't call me brother yet!"

"My little sister Zhao Rulan, nice to meet you, big brother."

No wonder he is a popular player. Look, he is so smart.

Lao Zhao nodded and helped his cheap, no, very expensive sister up: "I have one more thing to trouble Sister Yun."

"Mr. Zhao, please speak."

"If I have to do something, I will do it in full. Please send my sister to Xijing first. I will send someone to pick her up in two days. I also hope that Sister Yun can find a quiet house in Dongdu for my sister to live in. Sister Yun can just tell me the amount for all the expenses."

Aunt Yun laughed and said, "I thought that although Young Master Wang was very wealthy, he was not as generous as Young Master Zhao. Don't worry, I will take care of the little things. However, I have brought up Rulan since she was a child. She is like a daughter to me. When you get married in two years, I will prepare a dowry for you. Don't come again in the next two years."

Liu Rulan started to cry again while hugging Yun Gu. Lao Zhao decided to leave the space for her, and left.

I did another good thing today. I hope this kind of good thing will not happen again in the future, otherwise the silver left by Brother Yushu will not be enough.

Really, rich people finally get married.
