Chapter 13 Cherish talents
Zheng Baocai stopped after chattering a few words, picked up a few pieces of lamb liver in the big bowl and ate a few pieces, and said with a frown: "I was embarrassed and thrown home today, brother, I haven't shed tears a few times since I can remember, look at the bear I cried today!" Alas......"
He sighed, and picked another piece of lamb liver to eat: "This thing is for the eyes, I have to eat more!" ”
"Pick up the bowl and eat it." Yue Xi pushed the bowl in front of him as well: "I'm afraid I'll vomit if I eat it." ”
Yue Xi had an injury in the abdomen, Zheng Baocai thought that she meant this, so he didn't think much about it, and the two large bowls of miscellaneous soup went into his stomach alone, and at the end he ate a noodle fire with a white mouth: "I was hungry when I went to you early in the morning." But you don't have anything at home, so you eat a green onion in the kitchen. ”
"This time, I am not afraid of being dilapidated when I buy a house, and I must be spacious." Seeing that he was full, Yue Xi continued the topic of Fang Cai and said weakly: "I don't have enough money here, I have it quickly!" As long as the approval of Ye County's order is completed, our carriage and horse shop will be opened. ”
"Hmm." Zheng Baocai patted his chest and said, "With silver, it's not a big deal. ”
"It's the land behind the mass grave...... Thinking about what kind of place his brother will live in in the future, Zheng Baocai felt frustrated, and he still had the heart to persuade again, but Yue Xi had already waved his hand: "It's not a secret, I bought that land because I had other ideas." Brother Zheng helped to ask. But there's one thing......"
Yue Xi raised his head and said to him: "The matter of buying land must come secretly, and you must not make a noise." ”
At this time, Yue Xi's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, only a pair of eyes were black and white to the extreme, Zheng Baocai looked at her like this, she only felt sour in her heart, and always felt that this brother's body was too weak, why couldn't he raise it......
"I see." At the end, Zheng Bao nodded.
"I'm sorry! It was the meal, and I didn't come in to accompany the two of you. After being busy for a while, the shopkeeper pushed the door into the house with a hot sweat, and nodded to Yue Xi: "Brother Zheng and I have been friends for many years, you are a little brother, and you will come to sit and sit if you have nothing to do in the future, my brother has no family in this yard, when the time comes, our brother will drink a few glasses, and if you drink too much, you will sleep, which is very convenient!" ”
"Okay." Yue Xi smiled and nodded.
Zheng Baocai next to him glared: "Just talk nonsense in broad daylight!" You treat him like a little brother?! ”
The bearded shopkeeper went to the basin shelf and took a cloth towel to wipe the sweat off his head, and then looked at Yue Xi a few times before he said weakly: "Could it be that I am clumsy, you are older than me?" ”
"It's not about age!" Zheng Baocai waved his finger at Yue Xi and said: "Brother, although I have the cheekiness to call my son-in-law a brother and a brother, in fact, in the future, everyone in our grandmother's temple will have to eat with him, do you think we can treat him as a little brother?" ”
"Oops!" The shopkeeper was stunned at the moment, and he looked at Zheng Baocai in disbelief: "Brother Zheng, you don't want to eat in the future?" ”
"With a serious business, who wants to eat!" Zheng Baocai said loudly.
"It's all brothers, let's not talk about outsiders." Yue Xi spoke weakly and weakly, she said to the man standing in the middle of the room: "You call him Brother Zheng, I call him Brother Zheng, we are brothers, don't listen to his nonsense!" ”
"That's it! Or brother, you talk happily! The shopkeeper walked to the side of the kang and reached out to pat Yue Xi's shoulder, Zhang Baocai quickly picked up the chopsticks on the table and knocked his hand open: "Brother Yue is injured, don't move your hands and feet!" ”
"Oooh!" Zheng Baocai is a gangster, he makes money by doing nothing all day long, so Yue Xi was injured, and the shopkeeper didn't think much about it, he looked down at the empty bowl on the kang table and asked, "Add two more bowls?" ”
"You reminded me of this...... Zheng Baocai took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve cage and threw them on the table: "When I came, Brother Yue and I agreed that I would invite this meal, so you keep this money." ”
"That's what a success!" The shopkeeper slapped the table, and the copper coins on the small kang table jumped high, and a few even rolled onto the kang: "Your brother Zheng led a brother to have a meal and drink a bowl of chop soup, and I Ma Shilong still want your money?" What do you want your brothers to look at me?! ”
"Take, keep ......" Zheng Baocai moved his buttocks, turned inward, picked up all the copper coins that fell on the kang, and handed them to the horse shopkeeper along with the ones on the small kang table: "Don't slap the table, I told Brother Yue before I came to you, I will invite this meal, you can't let Brother Zheng talk about this little thing, right?" ”
"Take it!" Zheng Baocai got out of the kang barefoot, held the money and stuffed the horse shopkeeper in his hand: "Listen to my brother." ”
"Brother Zheng, you said that this is a trivial matter, and you still have a problem with me?" The copper coin in Zheng Baocai's hand has now become a hot potato, one wants to give, the other doesn't want to live or die, and the shopkeeper pushed his hand away again: "In my brother's place, I have to invite you to say anything about this meal!" ”
"Hey!" Zheng Baocai's outstretched palms had already become a fist, and the fire in his heart was rising one by one, he swallowed hard and spit, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "This meal is different today......"
"What's the difference? It's not just two bowls of choppy soup, it's not worth a few dollars! The shopkeeper smiled, waved his hand and walked out: "You guys talk, I'll go ahead and have a look." ”
"Don't go!" The money for a meal can't be given, and Zheng Baocai's wish to invite Yue Xi to a meal can't be fulfilled, he thinks that he was swept away by his brother, and the evil fire has risen to a certain point, whether he wants to vent or not, he feels that his head has to explode!
"If you dare not take this money, you and my brother will not have to do it!"
"Not really, right? Just these few money, Brother Zheng, you will turn your face with me? The shopkeeper turned his head, and his face sank.
"Flip around? Who told you to give a shame! Zheng Baocai was anxious, and a handful of copper coins were dragged directly to the horse shopkeeper, and the two good brothers moved!
Yue Xi pressed her stomach against the wall and walked out of the house, and saw that there were several guys standing in the yard who were probing their brains into the house, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, the two of them."
said: "It's okay, the two of them have eaten too much, just have a fight, what should you do, why should you go." ”
The guys laughed and then dispersed, Yue Xi walked to the door of the shop by herself, beckoned the guy to get a chair for herself, and she sat at the door and hid.
A moment later, Zheng Bao came out with a nosebleed, and said very proudly: "My brother gave the money to the crotch of the surnamed Ma, and the old boy can't take it out for a while!" ”
"Awesome!" Yue Xipi smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Hey, hey!" Zheng Baocai's wish was fulfilled, and he was very happy, and trotted all the way to the street and drove the donkey cart over: "Brother, will I send you back first?" ”
"No, you don't." Yue Xi took Zheng Baocai's arm and got up, bent down the steps, and whispered: "You drive the car directly out of the city and go home, let's go separately, the people from the Jinge Pavilion are coming, just one, let's go separately He is not easy to chase." ”
Zheng Baocai only paused, and then asked quietly, "Did you do it yourself?" ”
"Don't worry!" After Yue Xi finished speaking, he let go of his hand and turned around and walked towards a medicine store.
Zheng Baocai stopped being wordy, stared at her back a few times, and immediately drove to the city gate.
When Fang was lying on the flatbed truck, Yue Xi had already noticed that someone was following behind her, and now that she had finished talking to Zheng Baocai, she was not worried that the content of her conversation would be overheard, because the other party seemed to be following from a distance and not approaching.
Getting rid of such a tail is a piece of cake for Yue Xi.
Grabbing the medicine from the pharmacy, she walked out slowly, and looked around and entered a grocery store.
There were a lot of people in the grocery store, crowded around, Yue Xi suddenly walked out of the back door of the shop, and the paper bag she was carrying in her hand was also put into the bag and hung on her shoulder......
In this way, he went in and out a few times, and there were no people from the Golden Pavilion behind Yue Xi, who was walking on the road. She pursed her lips and smiled, and then walked in the direction of the Chu family.
After returning home, he sent his things into the kitchen first, and Yue Xi went back to the house to see that his little daughter-in-law was not there.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Su didn't come back, she also saved a lot of tongue, the injuries on her body were not light, it was difficult for the two of them to sleep together without being discovered, Yue Xi wanted to make up a reason to perfunctory past, but now that he is not there, she doesn't even have to say nonsense.
She was the only one left in the courtyard of the deep house, and Yue Xi bent down and went back to the kitchen.
Looking at the herbs soaked in the medicine pot on the table in the morning, she said to herself, "It would be nice if Yun Huaxia was dyed......"
There is no girl to serve around, so you have to do everything yourself. Yue Xi could only grit his teeth and dry slowly......
First put the herbs on the clay oven to fry, Yue Xi took out the herbs that had just been caught, put them in a big bowl and added water, and added a cage drawer to the big iron pot, she put the big bowl in it, ready to steam out the bowl of medicine.
"It's really troublesome, so many medicine ......" Squeaky sat crookedly in front of the stove and lit a fire, Yue Xi finally felt that he could take a breath: "The medicine can't be boiled in an iron pot, and this steaming medicine is too expensive to chop wood!" ”
With more than 10,000 taels of silver on his body, Yue Xi still did not change his true nature of being a fan of wealth, and he had a small abacus in his head, which could be saved.
Two larger pieces of firewood were added to the stove, and it was estimated that it could be burned for a while, Yue Xi only brought in half a basin of cold water, took off her long gown and put it on the chair, she rolled up her sleeves, looked sideways at her left arm, and saw a black purple above her elbow, which was the scar left by her directly hitting the iron plate with her arm!
Putting a cloth towel soaked in cold water over her left arm, she only felt the pain of fire burning on her arm!
"!" After squeezing a word out of his teeth, Yue Xi closed his eyes and silently waited for the cloth towel to be warmed by body temperature, and then repeated the steps of this cold compress.
In a short time, the medicine pot on the tandoor and the iron pot on the stove were steaming, and the kitchen with the doors and windows wide open was filled with the smell of herbs.
Yue Xi threw the cloth towel in her hand into the wooden basin with a sad face, she lifted her underwear inward, but she let go after only half of this action, grabbed the black robe on the back of the chair and put it on her body: "Lord Jun, trespassing on a private house is not what a good person should do!" ”
"How did you find me?" With a soft and nice voice, accompanied by a smile when he was angry, the owner of the Golden Elimination Pavilion shook his white feather fan Shi Ran into the kitchen of the Chu family and looked around from time to time.
"Taste." Yue Xi turned his back, put on his long shirt and tied his belt, picked up the cloth and opened the lid of the medicine pot, stirred it a few times with a chopstick, and put the lid of the medicine pot on the edge of the pot, leaving a seam......
More moisture came out of the medicine pot, and the smell of medicine in the kitchen was stronger.
Yue Xi slowly straightened up and looked at him: "Although the prince of the county has changed his clothes, he has not bathed, so the smell of rouge gouache on his body is still there, and you are standing outside in a windy place, so ......"
"Therefore, as long as there is a little wind and grass, the master will be exposed." Before Yue Xi's words were finished, the prince of the county took over, and said to her in a tone full of approval: "I was negligent......"
"Can you tell me who you are?" He asked, looking at her.
"Yuexi."
"I mean, who you really are." He asked again: "Who are you?"
"I'm Yuexi, I'm not anyone, don't think about it." Yue Xi replied lightly, walked to the stove and added a piece of firewood to the stove.
"Then you will be my man, right?" The prince of the county walked to Yue Xi's side and raised his hand to remove the lid of the pot, and a hot smell of medicine hit his face, making him frown and dodge: "Why are there so many medicines?" ”
"The prince of the county has been chasing him all the way from the Golden Pavilion, I don't think he just wants to ask about this, right?" Yue Xi looked at him sideways, and suddenly found that this guy's eyelashes were also very long!
Feeling Yue Xi's gaze, he suddenly shook his head and said helplessly: "You women always use such adoring eyes when they see me
looked at me with adoring eyes, alas......"
"......" Yue Xi closed his mouth and was silent.
Since she changed into men's clothes and walked outside as a man, he was the first person to reveal his identity in a single word.
Unconsciously straightened his back, Yue Xi even forgot about the pain in his abdomen for a while, and only looked at him with full vigilance.
"Let's all tell the truth, I tell you my identity, and in exchange, you have to tell me your identity too." The prince looked at Yue Xi and said frankly.
Faced with such a harmless face, Yue Xi said in his heart: Flicker...... And then flicker! The devil believes that you can say something worthwhile!
"I'm ......" The prince of the county opened his mouth, but Yue Xi raised his hand to stop what he was about to say: "You are the second son of the current Xian Wangye, His Royal Highness King Chengping!" ”
"You don't have to wonder why I know this, the people of the imperial capital know it!" As he spoke, Yue Xi slowly walked to the table and sat down slowly: "Your Highness, please take a seat." There is something to say bluntly, I am injured and can't stand for a long time, and I still look at His Highness Haihan. ”
"Don't you wonder how I guessed you were a woman?" King Chengping really followed, his eyes glanced at the teapot and teacup on the table, and he said dissatisfiedly: "How can I say that I am also a guest, why don't you even pour me a cup of tea?" ”
Yue Xi got up with the table, took the teapot outside and poured the leftover tea inside, rinsed the pot with clean water and grabbed the tea leaves into it, she walked to the pot of steaming medicine, removed the cage drawer above, scooped half a scoop of boiling water and poured it into the teapot.
"This water is bitter from your steamed medicine, how can you drink it?" He slapped the feather fan on the table with a look of disgust.
"Love to drink or not!" Yue Xi put the water scoop aside heavily, took a cup and poured himself a glass: "Uninvited, I haven't said anything yet, you can pick and choose here!" ”
"If you want to drink good tea and go back to your Jinjin Pavilion, doesn't a cup of tea cost ten taels of silver? Lao Tzu's tea here is a big bag of 200 Wen, so naturally it can't enter the mouth of Your Highness! ”
The stomach in his stomach was still aching, and Yue Xi only wanted to vomit for a while, so his tone was not polite.
"If a man talks to Ye like this, Ye will beat him half to death! However, for the sake of you being a woman...... King Chengping stretched out his hand and snatched the tea in Yue Xi's hand, and found a step for himself: "And for the sake of bringing tea to me to make amends, the master will not care about you!" ”
Yue Xi rested both hands on his abdomen, not wanting to talk to him.
"Sue you, I saw it when Ah Zuo grabbed you, and I wondered why he obviously grabbed your clothes, but you didn't react. It wasn't until I saw you clearly just now that I understood that the trick of stealing peaches under the armpit is used on a woman, and it is a waste trick! ”
"I really didn't expect that the person who would calculate so accurately would be a woman!"
Yue Xi looked at him with a blank look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
"No need to pretend...... King Chengping picked up the teacup and took a sip, and immediately splashed the tea in the cup on the ground: "There is a smell of medicine, it is really not for people to drink!" ”
"When you first walked around the carpet, you were counting your steps, right? Then roll to the edge of the knife mountain, in fact, you want to lure them over, so that these two people have no room to attack except retreat, because they are facing the sharp knife mountain behind you! Looking at something like this, their movements will naturally be restrained, which gives you a chance to win......"
"What does Your Highness want to say?" Listening to him chattering and breaking down his tricks, Yue Xi interrupted him again: "You can go back and slowly summarize the experience of failure." ”
"Join me in the Golden Pavilion, I cherish you as a talent, and I will not treat you slowly!" His eyes wandered, his gaze was gentle, and even his voice was as sweet as honey......
"Cut!" Yue Xi's body was weak, so he just wanted to go back to the room early to rest after using the medicine: "I'm just a beggar for food, and I went to the Jinjin Pavilion just to earn some money, and the reason why I was able to win by luck was that it was completely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse!" ”
"So there is no need for His Highness to use any beauty tricks on your subordinates, in case I plan to do it, have you thought about the consequences?"
