Chapter 5 Your Surname is Zhao?

After getting the start-up capital, Zhao Weiji's next goal is to find a shop. This shop is not easy to find. He needs a shop with a good location, a backyard where he can directly make tea, and the best price is moderate. So this

You can't leave things to others, you can only do it yourself.

So Zhao Weiji took Zhao Xin to the business district of the city to find a shop. As luck would have it, it happened to be the 15th day of the month, and there were so many people in the city that it could be described as busy. And Zhao Weiji and Zhao Xin were the masters and servants.

The two of them were walking through the crowded crowd. At this moment, Zhao Weiji heard the panicked cry of a girl.

"Ah! Where is my wallet?"

The girl's shout attracted the attention of those around her, and Zhao Weiji also turned his head to look for the owner of the voice. Then Zhao Weiji's eyes locked on a girl. This was an upright girl, plainly dressed but unable to conceal her aura.

She has a unique lotus-like temperament, but her expression is a little flustered because her purse is missing.

Just then a voice came from the crowd: "It couldn't have been stolen, little lady."

At the same time, a thin figure not far away in the crowd also caught Zhao Weiji's attention. A young boy with a thin back seemed to shake his shoulders subconsciously, and then what could be noticed was that there was a slight upward force on his right arm.

His movements seemed to be clenched fists, and then he clearly felt that the young man was speeding up his steps and walking towards an alley not far from the crowd.

"Uncle Xin, have you seen that boy? He may be the thief who stole the young lady's purse." Zhao Weiji said softly to Zhao Xin.

"Master, do you want me to stop him?"

"Not yet. If we stop him now, he can easily get rid of the suspicion by simply throwing his purse at the feet of the crowd. In this way, we will follow him and wait until there are few people to capture him directly.

Let's see how he quibbles."

After saying that, the master and servant Zhao Weiji began to move in the direction of the young man. As they moved, the young man was approaching the alley. They couldn't help but speed up their pace. After the young man broke away from the crowd and entered the alley, the two of them also speeded up and squeezed through.

The crowd enters the alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Zhao Weiji saw the boy starting to run and turning left at a fork in the alley, so he quickly ordered Zhao Xin: "Uncle Xin, chase quickly and turn left at the fork ahead."

Without saying a word, Zhao Xin ran away in the direction indicated by Zhao Weiji. Then he heard the young man yelling: "Ah! Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

When Zhao Weiji ran over, the boy had been pushed to the ground by Zhao Xin, and he was still clutching a purse in his hand. There was a lotus embroidered on the purse, which was obviously for women. It seemed that this was the little thief.

"Why are we arresting you? Let me ask you about the purse in your hand." Zhao Weiji said as he approached the boy.

"This is mine." The young man argued with some guilt.

"Yours? Are you going to lie to me or yourself? First of all, you look so shabby in your clothes, you don't look like someone who can use a purse, and do you see the lotus on the purse? It's clear that you are a woman.

What he showed off was for his own use." Zhao Weiji exposed the boy mercilessly. "Don't you still admit that you stole it? Or do you want us to send you to Jing Zhaoyin and let him admit it for you?"

"I……"

Just when the young man was on the verge of despair, a trembling voice came from not far away: "Please, please let my brother go."

Zhao Weiji turned his head and saw a thinly dressed girl with a thin body. Moreover, the girl was pale and sweating profusely. She stumbled when walking, her steps were sloppy, and she was coughing continuously. She was obviously sick.

"Please, sir, please let my brother go. He really didn't intend to steal. He only decided to steal because I was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment." The girl begged in a tearful voice.

It turned out that the girl was seriously ill, but the brother and sister had no money for medical treatment. After many setbacks, they failed to get enough medical money. It happened to be the day of the fifteenth day of the month for the market, and there were many people on the street. The young man really had no money.

After thinking about it, he thought of taking advantage of the crowd to see if he could steal some money for his sister’s medical treatment. However, he didn’t tell his sister when he went out. He just said that he was trying to get money. His sister didn’t know how his elder brother would raise money, so he didn’t listen until just now.

When the elder brother was shouting outside, the younger sister thought that the elder brother was in danger and dragged the sick body out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she saw the scene of Zhao Weiji interrogating the elder brother. After hearing their conversation, she saw the purse in the elder brother's hand.

The smart sister immediately understood what happened and hurried over to plead for mercy.

Suddenly the girl began to cough violently, and then she saw a large mouthful of blood on the ground. She suddenly lost strength and was about to fall. Zhao Weiji immediately rushed over to help the girl, and the moment Zhao Weiji held the girl up

, obviously feeling the girl's body heat up, he immediately realized something was wrong. So without any reason, he immediately carried the girl on his back, then turned to ask Xin Zhao: "Where is the nearest medical center?"

"After crossing the street outside, it's about a hundred steps to the south. Master, what do you want?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm saving people." After saying that, he ignored Zhao Xin and ran quickly towards the street.

When Xin Zhao saw the young master running out, he hurriedly asked: "What should I do with this kid?"

Zhao Weiji replied without looking back: "Of course we grabbed him and came together, why are you still standing there in a daze?" Then Zhao Weiji sped up and ran out.

At this time, Zhao Xin had no other choice, so he grabbed the young man's shirt and followed him.

After crossing the street and running south for about a hundred steps, there was indeed a medical clinic. Zhao Weiji quickly rushed in with the girl on his back and shouted: "Doctor, doctor, save people."

The doctor who was preparing medicine in the back room came out and saw that the girl's complexion was not good. He immediately asked the medicine boy who was making medicine to clear the table next to him and let Zhao Weiji put the girl on it. Then, the doctor carefully looked at the girl's face.

He looked at the girl's face, probed the girl's forehead, then took her pulse, and asked Zhao Weiji about the condition of the girl. Finally, he thought for a moment and said: "She should be suffering from tuberculosis, probably due to infection with wind and cold, but she was not treated in time.

It’s caused by this. But luckily you sent her in time, if it had been a little later, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything."

At this moment, Xin Zhao dragged the young man into the hospital. When the young man heard what the doctor said, he immediately knelt down in front of the doctor and begged.

The doctor looked at the young man, and then at the girl lying in pain, and he couldn't bear it. However, in this era, consumption was not considered a minor illness, and the young man in shabby clothes in front of him might not be able to afford the diagnosis.

At this moment, Zhao Weiji, who was next to him, spoke: "I paid the consultation fee, and the doctor said with emotion that he saved people." Zhao Weiji knew that this tuberculosis was what later generations would call tuberculosis. Even after a thousand years, this disease cannot be delayed, let alone this era.

It is also a difficult disease. So I did not hesitate to pay for the girl’s diagnosis. After all, this is a living human life.

Hearing that someone was paying for the consultation fee, the doctor immediately began to treat the girl. The young man beside him was already stunned and didn't know what to say, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was full of gratitude.

At this time, Zhao Weiji asked for 20 guan from Zhao Xin and handed it to the young man, and then said: "At this time, 20 guan should be enough for your sister's medical expenses and medicine. You keep it. Now you can give it to your sister."

Leave the purse in it to me, I have to return it to the owner. After your sister recovers from the illness, if you two brothers still have no means of living, you can come to Anding County Mansion to find me. My name is Zhao Weiji, and I can find it for you.

A place to stay." After saying that, Zhao Weiji took the purse the young man gave him and turned around to leave the hospital with Zhao Xin.

After they walked out of the hospital, the young man immediately chased them out, and then he kowtowed three times in the direction they left, shouting: "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you, my benefactor."

At this time, Zhao Xin asked Zhao Weiji in confusion: "Why did the young master help those two brothers and sisters?"

"I think that young man is a talented person who will be of great help to me in the future. Besides, a brother who loves his sister is definitely not a bad person." Zhao Weiji replied.

"I take it you have a crush on his sister?"

"Go, go, go, that little lady looks like bean sprouts, I will fall in love with her, and didn't you see that she is probably not even thirteen years old? I'm not that perverted yet."

"Aren't you only seventeen years old? And you can get married at the age of thirteen." Zhao Xin secretly complained after hearing Zhao Weiji's explanation.

Zhao Weiji did not hear Zhao Xin's complaints, but opened his wallet on his own. There were some scattered silver and some copper coins in the wallet, and there was also a folded piece of paper. Zhao Weiji opened the paper and saw that it was a piece of paper.

House deed. After seeing this house deed, Zhao Weiji thought to himself: "It turns out that there is such an important thing, so it should be returned to the little girl as soon as possible." So he folded the house deed and put it back in his wallet, and then hurried to the place where the incident occurred.

Walk back.

After a while, he and Zhao Xin returned to the scene of the incident. They happened to see the girl squatting in front of a rouge shop, burying her head in her chest and crying.

Zhao Weiji hurriedly walked over and patted the little girl on the shoulder, then handed her the purse and said, "Little lady, is this your purse?"

The girl looked up and saw that it was her purse, so she grabbed it and quickly opened it to check if the items inside were missing. After checking, she found that Zhao Weiji was smiling at him next to her. At this time, the girl also knew that she was a little rude, and she quickly blushed.

He thanked Zhao Weiji with his face.

"Thank you. It's really helpful. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what I would do."

Zhao Weiji quickly waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, there's nothing missing inside, right?"

"No, no, everything is there. Where did you find this purse?"

"I am..." Zhao Weiji thought for a while and decided to hide it for the young man, so he said, "I picked it up on the ground over there."

"Oh, thank you so much. I haven't asked you for your surname yet. My name is Chai Yu."

"My surname is Zhao, my given name is Weiji, and my courtesy name is Guoxiang."

After hearing Zhao Weiji's name, the girl's face changed obviously, and then her tone became colder: "Your surname is Zhao? What is your relationship with the official family?"

Zhao Weiji noticed the subtle changes in the girl but didn't care: "I am related to the official family."

"Oh~~" The girl's attitude was obviously more cold and guarded: "Then how should I thank you?"

"It's a small effort, but it doesn't matter. There's no need to thank you."

"Oh, I'll leave now. Thank you for your help. Goodbye." After saying that, the girl turned around and left.

Zhao Xin on the side was a little angry at this time and said: "Who are you? My young master is kind enough to help you. What is this attitude?"

"Forget it, forget it." Zhao Weiji consoled him from the side: "A girl's heart is like a needle in the sea."

After successfully settling the matter, Zhao Weiji and Zhao Xin started looking for a suitable store again. After wandering on the street for about an hour, they finally found a store they liked. There was a sign outside the store that read

Title: Rental. So the two of them walked in. Unexpectedly, they met an unexpected person when they entered.
