Shi Jin can't tell the depth of this scholar, but she knows Wang De's identity and dares to be sarcastic without giving in, so her status must be extraordinary.
He said, "Let's do this, let's ask the girl what she wants and see who she wants to go with."
The little maid clapped and said, "Good! You finally said something human!"
The scholar looked at Shi Jin with suspicion, but seeing his calm expression and no sign of anything unusual, he finally nodded in agreement. Wang De and the others were a bit confused. Wang De also realized that the scholar in front of them was probably from the Western Bei region, and Shi Jin's proposal clearly gave the other party an advantage, so their side would probably lose. However, upon further thought, Shi Jin's proposal actually gave them a way out. Just now, it was just a matter of saving face, and they weren't really interested in bringing an ugly girl back to cause trouble.
So they all remained silent, acquiescing to Shi Jin's suggestion.
After a moment, the shop assistant called the two people over again and explained the whole situation.
This matter has little to do with that musician. It's just that the person is kind-hearted and feels sorry for the girl's plight, so he naturally won't object to helping. When the girl heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared in her originally dull eyes. She glanced at everyone and paused briefly on Shi Jin before finally settling on the scholar. After sizing him up, she naturally discerned that he was a woman, and asked, "Is this master wanting to buy this girl?" The scholar replied kindly, "Exactly. I still need a maid in my house. If you are willing, you can follow me. You don't have to worry about anyone bullying you."
The young girl curtsied slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your mercy, master."
Wang De thought to himself, "Sure enough, she chose the scholar, but he seems a bit relieved."
The scholar smiled faintly, truly delicate as a spring flower, displaying the demeanor of a young girl, leaving everyone staring.
Especially the student surnamed Zhao, his eyes were fixed on the scholar, without blinking.
The scholar seemed to notice, glanced at him, suppressed a smile, and snorted.
The student surnamed Zhao blushed, and his eyes looked away in a fluster.
Shi Jin found it amusing, but when he looked around, he noticed that Li Kang had not come out yet, which made him feel a bit puzzled. At that moment, the young girl turned her gaze towards Shi Jin, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Thank you for your favor, but..."
She hadn't finished speaking when Shi Jin interrupted, saying, "Wait a minute!" The young girl stopped in surprise and looked up at him. Several people looked at him, and the little maid was about to speak, but was glared at by the scholar and sulkily closed her mouth.
Shi Jin smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush to make a decision. Neither of us has any ill intentions, so it doesn't really matter which side you choose. But before you decide, can I say something to you?"
The young girl was taken aback and said, "Please speak, sir."
Shi Jin walked up to her, leaned in close, and whispered a few words in her ear.
The girl trembled at the words and looked at Shi Jin in disbelief, asking, "Is what you said true, sir?"
"It's true, whether you believe it or not is up to you," Shi Jin said calmly.
The girl stared at him for a while, her expression changing.
Other people were curious, not knowing what Shi Jin said to make the girl so excited.
The girl thought for a moment, then suddenly walked towards the scholar. The maid's face relaxed, showing a happy expression, while Wang De and a few others, though not as concerned, still looked a bit displeased.
The scholar's complexion doesn't look too good.
The girl walked up to the scholar, bowed solemnly, and said, "master, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I cannot serve by the young master's side."
The maid was shocked, then glared at Shi Jin and accused, "You threatened her, didn't you!"
"Peony, don't be rude!" the scholar scolded.
The little maid pouted and retreated to the side.
The scholar curiously asked, "What did this person say to you?"
The young girl lowered her head and said, "master Please forgive me, this matter involves the privacy of our family and I cannot disclose it. But please rest assured, my husband did not threaten me."
The scholar glanced at Shi Jin, who still had a calm and composed look, and upon seeing the scholar's gaze, nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After a moment of contemplation, the scholar suddenly said to Wang De, "Brother Wang, you still owe me a meal, don't you?"
Wang De After a moment of surprise, I glanced at the scholar, nodded, and took out five coins from my sleeve, handing them to the scholar. The scholar didn't hesitate and took the money, then handed it to the young girl. The young girl was startled and quickly declined to accept it.
He said, "This money is a tip for the song I just heard you sing. Your lyrics were good, and I really liked it. It's not right to listen for free."
Shi Jin couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, as it was exactly what he had said earlier. The scholar, however, gave him a stern look.
The young girl hesitated, but the scholar impatiently said, "Just keep it. You never know what others are up to. It's good to have some money on you." With that, he stuffed the money into the girl's hand and said, "Take care of yourself." Then he turned and went back to his room.
Shi Jin waved for the young girl to come over, and she wanted to give the five coins to him.
Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "That's the money given to you to save your life. Keep it safe." After that, he turned to Su Jian and smiled, saying, "Brother, lend me five guan." In front of so many people, Su Jian felt compelled to lend the money, and reluctantly handed five guan to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin called the store assistant over and said, "Take this five coins and bring back this girl's contract."
The store assistant smiled and said, "Didn't you just say nine coins?"
Su Jian was not happy and cursed, "You dirty hooligan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
store assistant protested, "I didn't dare to speak nonsense. Everyone heard master call out nine guan just now."
Su Jian became even more furious upon hearing this, and raised his hand to slap the shop assistant.
But he was stopped by Shi Jin.
Shi Jin looked at the waiter and said, "Just five coins. If I cut it down, it will be your reward." The waiter rubbed his nose and muttered, "Sir, you're joking. I don't have that ability." Shi Jin glanced at him and said lightly, "Oh, I see. Then I'll go directly to find the madam."
The shop assistant hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile, "master, with your distinguished status, it's no trouble for a small person like me to handle this kind of thing."
Shi Jin snorted, handed him the money, and the shop assistant ran off in a flash.
Wang De saw that Shi Jin was very experienced and never suffered any losses, and couldn't help but feel amazed.
Shi Jin turned to the young girl and said, "Go tidy up and come find me later."
The young girl nodded, about to leave, when Shi Jin stopped her and said, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"
The young girl replied softly, "This servant's surname is Li, and my given name is Shishi."
Shi Jin: "......"
