Chapter 81: Imbalance (Yesterday's Fourth Update)
Qi Bo smiled: "I didn't expect such a coincidence, but Zhong County is not far from Wuling Mountain, and the wine in the county is also famous, so it's not strange that the old man in the middle of the mountain will go over." It's just, hehe, it's too coincidental, the big hair is boring and broke the jar of wine, I'm still very angry, and then I want to reward him, why did he break it so timely, hahaha. ”
Zhiruo "fluttered" and smiled: "Then Qi Bo, what did you reward Da Mao?" Da Mao is a honest and honest guy, and he has to be rewarded for doing "wrong things", I don't know what kind of expression it is, will he be scared?
Qi Bo snorted: "That stupid boy, seeing that the old man in the middle of the mountain was so greedy for our wine, he asked me to reward him with a bowl of wine, so I simply rewarded him with half a jar of wine, but he didn't dare to ask for it, saying that it was too expensive, and a jar of wine would cost thirty taels." As a result, he was robbed by the old man in the middle of the mountain and drank most of it, and said that he owed him ten taels of silver for the wine first, and he would give it to him next time. ”
"Hahaha," Uncle Qiang also laughed, "Where is the stupid? If you want me to say, Da Mao is a stupid person with stupid blessings, otherwise how can you happen to meet an old man in the middle of the mountain? "Ten taels of silver, it's a lot of money for Da Mao. As for whether the old man in the middle of the mountain will pay it back, and when it will be returned, uh, I really don't have to worry. According to Tie Muyuan's description of the old man in the middle of the mountain, the wine and the character, they believe that it is estimated that they will not wait for the Chinese New Year to find the old man in the middle of the mountain.
"Yes, yes," the smile on Qi Bo's face couldn't stop today, "Girl, the hermit with a strange personality of the old man in the middle of the mountain, directly mentioned to him that he should accept the second young master as an apprentice. He must have been disgusted and directly suspected that we were calculating him, so I didn't say anything, but sold the wine to him at a high price. "Jiang Taigong fishes, and the willing person takes the bait. The general said before that the second young master is a material for martial arts, and the iron dart head also said that the second young master is a wizard of martial arts. He believed that as long as the old man in the middle of the mountain saw the second young master, he would definitely be willing to accept the second young master.
Zhiruo nodded, Qi Bo did a very good job. Follow her plan. After setting up a clever trick to hook the old man in the middle of the mountain with fine wine, he was also ready to let him come to the door by himself. This kind of arrogant and eccentric professionals, don't try to negotiate terms with him, or blackmail him, only if they are willing. If you want to talk about the conditions, he is also qualified to negotiate. Su Kang is like this. The same is true for the old people in the middle of the mountain.
The bait has been dropped. Now all they can do is wait, but fortunately, Minghui's mentality is very good, although he is looking forward to the master that his father chose for him before his death. But he is not obsessed with this, but what he should do every day, very regular: practice in the morning, follow Su Kang in the morning, practice martial arts under the guidance of Mo Forget in the afternoon, and if Mo Forget happens to have something, he will practice hard by himself.
Qi Bo obviously thought the same way, he did everything he could and should do, and now he couldn't do anything he wanted to do: "Girl, because of the lack of four jars of wine, and knowing that the person is an old man in the middle of the mountain, I thought about coming back first, and by the way, I also brought back the acacia flower." If nothing happens, I will go to Zhuangzi in Quling County in the afternoon and expect to be back the next evening. This time, he only did the affairs of the Zhuangzi in Zhong County and turned back, firstly, there was no wine for the New Year's ceremony, and secondly, he was mainly worried about whether the old man in the middle of the mountain would find Meizhuang so soon. After all, no one can understand or guess the behavior of those strange people.
Zhiruo nodded: "Qi Bo, you go, what's the matter with Qiangbo." The weather is cold, and you two are busy coming and going, but you also have to pay attention to keeping warm and paying attention to your body, you are the pillars of the Zhuangzi. ”
Qi Bo and the others responded with a smile, and Uncle Qiang also smiled and said to Qi Bo: "But no? The daily affairs of Zhuangzi, Da Lang is also in good order now, and the three brothers are very capable, like you. "Qi Dalang is honest and steady, and he is most like Qi Bo in handling things; Erlang is shrewd and good at arithmetic, and now he is in charge of the large treasury and procurement-related affairs. If you are ready to hand over the trading of agricultural and sideline products to Erlang in the future, Saburo is young, the most jumpy, but the brain is also the best, now follow Mo Forget to learn security and defense work, every morning and evening with a group of small guys to practice martial arts, the guards take turns to coach, Don Forget will also guide them when he has time.
Mentioning the three sons, Qi Bo smiled with satisfaction, none of his children really had anything to worry about, except that Lu'er always stared at San Lang before, which made their family very bored, but it was not good for a girl-
This year's snow seems to be more than in previous years, Ruqiu frowned and looked at the light snow falling all over the sky, but fortunately, the snow particles were very broken and small, flying all over the sky, and most of them turned into snow as soon as they fell to the ground, so there was not much snow on the ground.
Ruqiu carefully lifted the corner of her skirt and got into the carriage, she was wearing her newly made dark green skirt today, and the skirt was embroidered with a large cluster of bright pink plum blossoms blooming just right. When she made this jacket dress, she thought how beautiful she would be if she put on a white or pink coat outside. The best, this coat was given by Qiu Shizi.
The moment the carriage door was closed, Ruqiu caught a glimpse of a sturdy figure about to pass by, wearing the uniform blue jacket skirt of the maid on the Zhuangzi, but it was very unfamiliar, and half of his face was covered by hair. She knew the twelve or thirteen-year-old little maid Xidan next to the sturdy maid, one of the batch of maids that the girl bought when she came back from the capital, and now runs errands with Aunt Qiang.
What kind of person is this? Ruqiu was puzzled, and habitually snorted: "Who are you? New here?"
Huaihua, now called Xihuai, is following Xidan to get acquainted with Zhuangzi, mainly the places she will go to and the people she will find in the future. Although she has only been here for a day, Xihuai's heart is much more steady, from the big girl to the housekeeper mother and maids below to treat her very kindly. There are also many people who will have a moment of shock in their eyes when they first find the scar on her face through the hair, but some people quickly hide the past, and some people cautiously ask her when she was injured, but no one screams and abuses her.
Seeing that the young woman who asked him was wearing a beautiful brocade jacket and skirt, instead of the cotton jacket skirt of the maids, and she was also very beautiful, Xihuai subconsciously wanted to step forward and salute, this is also the girl, right? Xidan just said that there are three girls and two young masters in the Zhuangzi.
Xi Dan stopped her: "Sister Ruqiu, she is the new Xihuai." Xihuai, this is Sister Ruqiu in the sewing room, and the female red has very good skills. ”
Oh, it turned out to be an embroidery girl, and she was also a subordinate, Xihuai breathed a sigh of relief, and politely called "Sister Ruqiu", and secretly glad that she hadn't had time to salute yet, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke?
Xi Dan pulled Xi Huai and said, "Sister Ruqiu, Aunt Qiang still has something to do with us, let's go first." After speaking, he turned around and left, without looking at Ruqiu again. She really can't figure it out, the masters are still in the filial piety period, and they are dressed very plainly, how can a maid dress so swaggering in autumn? Even if you want to go out, you don't have to do this, right? It's really unruly!
Ruqiu was inexplicably trembling with anger, Xihuai's relieved appearance when she heard that she was also a maid, and the contempt in Xidan's eyes were all strict, which stimulated her who was in a complicated mood now. In the past, when she was still a first-class big girl next to Yin Zhiruo, how could a little girl dare to treat her like this? Even the big stewards and housekeepers were polite.
Recently, I don't know why, her love is very easy to get excited, and she is also easy to be sad, suffer from gains and losses, and she is very irritable, and she doesn't even have an appetite for the food she likes to eat on weekdays.
After a night of tossing and turning last night, Ruqiu decided to tell Qiu Shizi today that she had just lost Yin Zhiruo's favor, and because there was no one in the needlework room, she was transferred to the needlework room. Qiu Shizi likes her so much, she will definitely not abandon her because of this, she is still in Zhuangzi, and she can still do internal response. What's more, Qiu Shizi is smart, and he can also help her give advice and regain Yin Zhiruo's trust as much as possible. Wait until she and Yin Zhiruo enter the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion as an aunt, and see who else dares to despise her?
"Snorted", Ruqiu shook her head into the cold carriage, and became even more angry: "It's snowing today, and there is no charcoal basin in the carriage?"
Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, but did not answer, and flicked the horsewhip: "Sister Ruqiu, sit down, let's go!" But he secretly sneered in his heart: An embroidery girl, do you really think you are the master?
Ahead, the snow suddenly became heavier and heavier...... (To be continued......)
