Chapter VII: Rivalry
The sun rises in the east.
A cow is tied to a tree.
A little boy ran over with a big push of grass in his arms.
The boy put the grass on the ground and exhaled.
Then he went and brought the oxen lying under the tree and let them graze.
The boy squatted on the ground and kept pushing the grass to the cow's mouth.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the boy turned his head to look.
"Lady." The boy grinned when he saw who it was, and looked at the person with sparkling eyes.
He got up and ran over.
Xiao Anniang smiled and touched his head.
"Lady, are you coming to see the big cow? I take good care of the big cow! The boy said with a grin.
Xiao Anniang smiled and said, "Yes, I'll take a look at Da Niu." ”
So he walked up to the cow and stretched out his hand to touch it.
"Little Brother Wu, have you ever drunk milk?" Xiao Anniang asked suddenly.
Xiao Tong was stunned, a little dumbfounded, he scratched his head.
"Lady, what is milk?" Brother Wu asked curiously.
Xiao Anniang smiled and said, "Wait two more days, and you'll know." ”
Brother Wu nodded in a daze, and was a little curious, "Why wait two more days?" ”
Xiao Anniang smiled and did not answer.

In front of a restaurant, there stood a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe.
The man's eyes were heavy and he looked at a luxuriously decorated restaurant opposite, full of people.
He snorted, flicked his sleeves and turned into the restaurant in the back.
The shopkeeper behind the counter was crackling and calculating, and when he saw the man come in, he hurriedly greeted him.
The man kept going up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper followed behind and hurriedly walked.
In a private room on the second floor, the man walked in and sat down.
The shopkeeper also went in.
The man had a gloomy face, looking out the window, and the restaurant opposite was full of people.
The shopkeeper looked at the man's face, and wanted to open his mouth to speak several times but closed it.
After looking at it for a while, the man turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper Wu, how is this month?" He asked.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled bitterly, "Owner, although we are not losing, we are not profitable. ”
The man's face sank a little.
A middle-aged man came out of the restaurant opposite, and it was the man who quit the Xiao family that day!
The man was wearing a crimson brocade robe, holding something in his hand and flicking it around, looking a little hanging.
He stood in front of the restaurant and looked up at the restaurant opposite. He raised his hand and whistled, raising his eyebrows and looking at the man at the window on the second floor of the restaurant opposite.
Then he grinned and raised his hand again. What does the middle mouth say.
Suddenly, the man sitting upstairs clenched his hands into fists, the bruises on his arms bulged, and his eyes were gloomy as he looked at the man opposite downstairs.
Shopkeeper Wu secretly screamed badly, and then hurriedly got up. Reach out and close the window.
"Don't care, boss! The second master of the Li family is not a thing, and he knows it all! You can't afford to be angry with a fool. Shopkeeper Wu said hurriedly.
The man slapped the low man, then clenched his hand into a fist.
"What a Li family, what a second master of the Li family! It's too much of a deception! It's so deceitful! ”
The man said abruptly, then laughed again.
"I remember that Cai Ji should come to collect tea soon! Our tea garden has a good harvest this year! I had tea with Cai Kee's owner last time! They should also come to Dingzhou! I'm going to get ready, too! ”
The man laughed as he spoke, and he couldn't tell that he was still gritting his teeth before.
Shopkeeper Wu raised his hand and wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, feeling that his heart was going up and down.
The man laughed for a while and then got up, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Wu, I'll leave first." ”
Shopkeeper Wu also hurriedly got up to send him off.
At the gate of the restaurant, as soon as the man boasted out the door, he saw Li Erye on the other side smiling at him with a spring breeze on his face.
The man laughed as well, and he raised his hand to clench his fist.
"What a coincidence! Did the second master also come to inspect the restaurant today? The man said with a smile.
Second Master Li also smiled and raised his hand to salute, "Yes, yes!" Master Lu is also here to inspect the restaurant! ”
"Hey, I'm not as good as Master Lu, I'm idle all day long. I'm already busy just taking care of this drunken phoenix building every day, and my feet don't touch the ground! Second Master Li complained.
said it was a complaint, but in fact, there was no less smile on his face
Master Lu hated in his heart, and then laughed again when he thought of something.
"Yes, yes, the second master is really hard! Don't miss me, do nothing all day! ”
Second Master Li smiled proudly again.
"You're welcome!" He said, waving his hand.
Master Lu bowed slightly, and then arched his hand and said, "I'll go first!" Don't bother the second master, your business! ”
Second Master Li nodded and waved his hand, "Then you go first, let's go first!" I'm going to have to be busy for a while! ”
Master Lu nodded, then turned around and left.
The second master Li who was left behind was smiling proudly with a spring breeze on his face.

Before the Quartet case, Xiao Anniang withdrew the pen. Picked up a piece of paper that had just been written and shook it.
Then he handed the paper to Su Qing on the side.
"Give it to Uncle Fu and ask him to buy the materials above." Xiao Anniang said with a smile.
Su Qing took it, and the ink had not yet dried. You can only hold it in your hand and hang it.
"Lady, what is this?" Su Qing asked curiously.
"It's kind of some medicinal herbs." Xiao Anniang replied.
Su Qing looked at Xiao Anniang suspiciously, medicinal materials are medicinal materials! Why did the lady add a count?
Looking at Su Qing's puzzled expression, Xiao Anniang just smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that Xiao Anniang didn't answer, Su Qing had to fold the paper in half a few times and put it in the cuff.
Xiao Anniang walked out of the door and waved her hand at Su Qingyi.
"You don't have to follow me, I'll go up and have a look." Xiao Anniang said.
Su Qing looked at Xiao Anniang with some hesitation, do you really want to let the lady go alone?
Xiao Anniang smiled helplessly and said, "I'll take a look at the back." ”
She waved her hand impatiently.
Su Qing was helpless and watched Xiao Anniang leave.
The back door of the Xiao family is facing an old forest, I heard that it used to be the Xiao family, but now I don't know whose family it is.
Xiao Anniang opened the door in the backyard and walked out.
Look at the dense woods in front of you, and the roots of the trees are tangled. The foliage is so lush that sunlight can only shine through the cracks, imprinting on the ground in speckled spots.
She walked slowly through the woods with a stick. I also look around from time to time to take a look at the scenery.
Feel the wind blowing from nowhere, with the freshness and humidity unique to the woods.
She let go of the stick and let it roll to the ground. Tilting his head slightly, his hands slowly raised.
She felt that the voices of the entire mountain forest seemed to be clearly present in her ears.
The chirping of birds and the sound of flapping wings, the low roar of tigers in the mountains, the footsteps of hares running wildly, the friction of poisonous snakes as they slide and the hissing of spitters, the sounds of fish spitting bubbles in the water......
…………………………………………………
During the day, I have been figuring out the signed contract and writing the outline. Didn't bother with this......
I'm so ashamed! I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive and I'm uncomfortable not coming out today, although the word count is very small...... Well, it's four o'clock in the morning now......
