Chapter 51: A Thief Comes in the Middle of the Night
Cao Yun learned from the people of others, it is said that the children in the countryside or poor families live in a bad environment because of their poor lives, and most of them are brothers or sisters sleeping in one room.
And since he was a child, he not only lives in a courtyard alone, but also has a girl to serve. I haven't slept with anyone since I was a child, and my grandfather opened his mouth, so of course it's not easy to disobey.
However, he hasn't said anything yet, this stinky boy actually dislikes it?
"Thank you Grandpa Cao for your kindness, it's just that I don't sleep well, I sleep with Brother Yun, I'm afraid, hehe." Xiaomi had already seen Cao Yun's reaction, and explained with an embarrassed smile.
When she was in the carriage, this Master Cao asked her to call her that.
"It's okay, but you also heard just now that the business of this inn is too good, there are only these two rooms, and it is not okay for you to go and crowd the shops with those people, it's a mess." Cao Chengyan said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'll just lay a floor there." Millet said as she pointed to the wall.
Cao Chengyan saw that Xiaomi insisted, so he didn't say anything more, and walked outside to beckon the guy to send another set of bedding. I didn't wait for the guy to speak, so I told him that the cost of the added bedding would be given when he left the settlement tomorrow morning.
The guy quickly sent the futon and told him that the futon was free and that there was no need to pay for it.
Cao Chengyan looked at it, it turned out that the bedding was very old, no wonder it was so kind and free. This child took the initiative to invite his peers, and since this is the case, it is not worth the cost.
The grade of this inn is okay, and it is impossible not to have a good bedding that is extra. took the old like this, nine times out of ten, because of Xiaomi's clothes, he regarded him as his own subordinate.
Cao Chengyan just said that if you change the suit, you can just give the silver. What's more, even if you buy a set of bedding, it won't cost a few dollars.
However, Xiaomi didn't even say that it didn't matter, and reached out to pick up the futon nonchalantly, walked directly to the wall, and started to lay it out. Sister is a person who can bend and stretch, and it has become commonplace to stay overnight in the wild along the way, what is this?
When the guy turned to leave, he was still very puzzled, he was kind enough to help this old man save money, why didn't he even get a good word, and he didn't seem to be very happy?
Hmph, these rich people are so hypocritical. If you really hold a good futon, you may not know how to curse yourself for not having eyesight.
You know, what haven't you seen doing things in this inn? Many wealthy guests want to live in their own rooms, but they let their entourages sleep in the stables.
The guy was unhappy, but he could only complain in his heart.
In the guest room, the grandfather and grandson of the Cao family watched Xiaomi skillfully lay the floor, and beckoned her to go to dinner together. Xiaomi is not good at refusing people's kindness, so she happily followed.
Cao Yun knew the real reason why Xiaomi refused to sleep with him, but there was no pimple in his heart. It's just that, because of the previous wonton soup, there is still a little bit of discomfort in my heart.
Therefore, Grandpa motioned for him to walk with Xiaomi, but he pretended to be confused and stepped up to the front.
"I'm sorry, my grandson was spoiled by his father, but this child is not bad-hearted, if there is something offended in the future, don't care about it." Cao Chengyan said to Xiaomi with a smile.
In the face of such a kind and approachable old man, Xiaomi has no way to refuse. nodded very obediently, for the sake of the old man's face, even if there was something, Xiaomi didn't plan to worry about that kid anymore.
You know, it's not easy to meet such a good companion.
Xiaomi thinks that Mr. Cao's conditions are good, so it should be fine to eat theirs and use theirs. It's not to take advantage of the advantages and save money, but there is really no way to distinguish so clearly.
At most, it would be nice to come across the right opportunity and repay them in another way.
Dinner was served in the inn, with meat and vegetables, and soup. Millet eats very dedicatedly, whether it is to your taste or not, she only sandwiches the dishes closest to you.
It's hard to catch a suitable companion, and you really can't arouse people's disgust. Now I am wronged by what is wrong with my stomach, when I grow up, gain a firm foothold in the capital, and have the ability to live independently, I have a beautiful life, what do I want to eat!
For now, it's time to hone yourself. If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow! Xiaomi feels that her mentality is really too well adjusted.
In this way, if you can bend and stretch yourself, you will definitely develop well in the future.
Cao Chengyan looked at Xiaomi's duty and couldn't help but sandwich chicken thighs and sauce meat for her. is the same age as his grandson, but he is so sensible, or he would say that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early.
In fact, the reason why this young man was invited to accompany him was that Cao Chengyan wanted his grandson, who was born with fine clothes and fine food, to get along with each other at close range and to have some understanding.
The grandson is a good one, but it's a pity that the son is too pampered. Children who grow up in such an environment, if the Cao family's family background is always like this in the future, it will be fine.
However, the world is unpredictable, and Cao Chengyan is very afraid that one day, something will happen to the family, so how can his grandson deal with it. Of course, Cao Chengyan also hopes that the Cao family's fortune will continue to be so good.
As I get older, I think more and more. It's not that I'm thinking about it, but I've seen too many examples. Life is cruel, anything can happen.
If the ability of the juniors is not enough, no matter how strong the foundation laid by the elders, once something happens, the family business will also collapse, and the survivability of the juniors will not be good, and life will be very miserable.
Cao Chengyan would rather be a superfluous move and want to work hard. At the very least, it doesn't hurt for the grandson to do so.
Cao Yun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that his grandfather was picking vegetables for millet, but out of fear of his grandfather, he didn't dare to be petty.
looked at his grandson, who has always been a picky eater, but this time he was unusual, and ate two bowls of rice with dishes he didn't like on weekdays. Cao Chengyan twisted his beard with his hand and smiled slightly.
See, the effect is there now.
After dinner, he returned to the room, and as soon as he entered the house, Cao Yun said to Xiaomi, to wash, hurry up and fetch water.
Yoh? Your grandfather was very good to me, and you kid actually treated me as a human being? Xiaomi only then discovered the problems it had to face. Can you bend and stretch? Can you really do it yourself?
Xiaomi hesitated, Cao Chengyan had already spoken; "Yun'er, Xiaomi, he is the companion of his peers, not his subordinates. If you want to wash, you can call a guy or a five. ”
Oh, Cao Yun reluctantly agreed, and went out to call Ding Jiawu next door.
Xiaomi was a little sleepy, and after saying a word to Cao Chengyan, he took off his robe and got into the quilt with his shoes and socks.
"I don't know how to wash and sleep again, it's so sloppy, grandpa, you love to be clean, why don't you talk about him?" Cao Yun muttered quietly.
"You, I said it, he is not from our Cao family, and grandpa naturally has no right to ask him for anything." Cao Chengyan reminded his grandson in a low voice, and before he forgot to give him a warning look, he turned his head to look at the corner of the wall.
Actually, Xiaomi has already heard it. The guest room is so big, and it's not a cubicle, so it's hard not to hear it. She doesn't care, though.
Half an hour later, Cao Chengyan blew out the candle, and it didn't take long for Xiaomi to hear the even breathing of the Cao family.
In the dark, Xiaomi opened his eyes, reached out and touched his belt, which was a silver ticket, but not all the belongings. Before leaving the Lu family, Xiaomi hid the silver ticket in several positions.
There are positions in belts, insoles, uppers, and plackets. Just in case, you won't be taken away by thieves, or maybe accidentally thrown away.
A few thousand taels of silver, hey, if it weren't for that Meng Qiyu coming out like that, he wouldn't have to run away now. In another year or two, the amount of silver will be several times greater.
The one surnamed Meng really has water in his head, right? Xiaomi has a complaint against him in her heart. In contrast, for Lu's, Xiaomi has no grudges.
The one who disrupted his plan was the one surnamed Meng! How can there be such a person in the world? Only for his own sake, why doesn't he know to think about others?
How could a normal man confess to a little girl who was only twelve years old? What's more, it's just a virtual age. To borrow an ancient phrase, it's ridiculous.
Although it was laid on the floor, it was much more comfortable than sleeping on the tree, and Millet listened to the chirping of crickets outside the window, and quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Xiaomi heard movement outside the window in a daze, and opened his eyes vigilantly, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Three watches in the middle of the night, then it is definitely not a good person.
As I was analyzing, I smelled a faint smell of fishy chrysanthemums. It's not good, it's a fan! Xiaomi hurriedly held her breath, reached out and took out the small cotton wool ball that had been prepared long ago in the purse she had untied, and plugged her nostrils.
At this time, even if you want to remind the grandfather and grandson, I'm afraid it's too late. Mi Xiang, the guys in the third uncle's gambling house have taught themselves, and even how to configure and how to solve the problem have told her.
In particular, this kind of incense is added with a kind of ecstasy chrysanthemum pollen, and the effect of charming and lethargic is faster. When Xiaomi first learned it, it was just interesting and fun.
I didn't expect it.,I really met it this time.。
No, the old man of the Cao family is good to himself, and he can't sit idly by. Thinking like this, Xiaomi immediately lifted the quilt and got up, looking for the direction of the fragrance.
The eyes had long been accustomed to it, and suddenly they saw something in the window, and the tube had not yet been withdrawn, and by the moonlight I could clearly see that there was still smoke in the tube.
Although Xiaomi is not a person in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that those who use this kind of indiscriminate means are also some people who are indiscriminate. It's just that what I know is some opportunistic kung fu, and I don't know how the thief's kung fu is, Xiaomi really doesn't know how much chance he can win if he fights face-to-face...... R1152
