Chapter 60 Generally Average, Third in the World
As soon as Hu Mei walked out of the door of the hospitality room, the spring breeze on his face turned into dense clouds. A few days ago, Dapushou Monastery sent a lot of anti-foundation medicines and rare medicinal materials by sea, and asked her to hand them over to Zong Zhengke, who thought that someone around Zong Zhengke was seriously injured.
When I saw her today, I realized that it was Zong Zhengke himself who was not lightly injured. This is also the reason why she was unhappy with Mingxin and snorted coldly, naturally because Mingxin and the others did not take good care of Zong Zhengke.
In Hu Mei's eyes, Zong Zhengke is not only a benefactor who has the grace of protection for her, but also a younger generation who she hurts like a daughter in her heart - Ke Niang, she is only three years older than Hu Mei's own daughter Lin Niang!
Flying downstairs, Hu Mei summoned Ju and asked her to go to the warehouse to take out the clothes, embroidery, embroidery thread and other things that had been transported from afar from the Jokhang Empire. She went back to her living room and pulled out a box containing a few pills and some spices to disguise. As for the number of those medicinal materials, it is difficult to take them out at this time, so I will find an opportunity to send them again.
turned around again, Hu Mei seemed to be fine, and did not mention Zong Zhengke's injury. If Ke Niang wants to tell her, she will naturally know in the future; If Ke Niang doesn't mention it, then there must be a reason for it, and she had better not know.
Meiniang has always been empathetic, and Zong Zhengke is the most relaxed when he interacts with her. After looking at the goods for a while, he was naturally satisfied, so he took the silver ticket to settle the bill. Before leaving, Zong Zhengke said to Hu Mei: "I saw that the ready-to-wear in the store was quite beautiful, and I asked the shopkeeper to go to the house to measure the size of the elders and sisters in my family and cut a few sets of new clothes." β
Ke Niang, does this have something to say to herself? Hu Mei nodded yes, took the box and handed it to Ming Xin, and said with a smile: "Today, the girl came to the door for the first time, and she made such a big business for the small shop, and the small shop is very honored." This is a little careful, it is a spice brought from Dazhao, which is most suitable for use in this late spring and early summer, please don't dislike it. β
There was a faint hint of medicine in the fragrant and elegant fragrance, and Zong Zhengke knew that this spice was probably just a disguise. Before leaving, the general trend had left a lot of medicinal materials to maintain the foundation, and a few days ago, Mingxin brought a lot of medicines, presumably Hu Mei's box contained that kind of thing.
Zong Zhengke bowed his head and said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the big shopkeeper, then it will be disrespectful." He said silently, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" β
Hu Mei didn't hide his worry, and personally came over and grabbed Zong Zhengke's arm on the other side, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly: "Please forgive the slave family for talking too much, the girl's face is not very good, please be kind to yourself!" β
Zong Zheng Ke also whispered to her: "Come here, there is something to say." Hu Mei knew how to bow his head, took the gauze hat from Mingxin's hand, and put it on Zong Zhengke with his own hands.
A few people walked out of the private room on the second floor and walked down the stairs. Hu Mei sent Zong Zhengke's master and servant all the way out of the door, leaned on the door to watch, and saw that they had gotten into the carriage before turning back and entering the store.
After entering the carriage, Mingxin helped Zong Zhengke take off the yarn hat, and then silently placed the purchased clothes, embroidery threads and other things. Zong Zhengke frowned slightly and thought about his thoughts, and he didn't have the heart to say anything more to her. Mrs. Xu, who was following the car, said outside: "Please sit tight, girl." Then the carriage got up.
After touching the drive of a pillar of incense, I don't know where it went, and the carriage suddenly stopped. Mrs. Xu knocked on the carriage again, and said through the wooden door at the wheel: "Miss Mingxin, please also ask the girl, there seems to be something going on in front of you, but you want to take a detour back home?" β
Zong Zhengke lifted the curtain of the car and looked out through the screen window. After a while, she saw a snow-white figure jumping and frolicking in the crowd, squeaking and screaming endlessly, attracting loud and small exclamations. There were more and more onlookers, and the road was almost blocked.
A light smile quickly flashed on his lips, and Zong Zhengke said to Mingxin, who had seen it: "There is no need to take a detour, I still have to go to the bookstore in front of me to buy a few idle books to pass the time." β
Mingxin instructed Mrs. Xu outside according to her words: "Mother Xu, the girl said that there is no need to take a detour, just park in the study in front of her, and the girl has to buy a few books to go back." β
Mrs. Xu complied, informed the coachman again, carefully avoided pedestrians and horses, and walked forward slowly. The study is only half a tea distance from here, but due to the large number of people, the carriage of the Zongzheng family has to walk for nearly two teas before arriving at the place.
Zong Zhengke also instructed the people outside Mingxin to drive the carriage to the teahouse next to the study. She only took Mingxin into the bookstore, and the rest went to the teahouse to drink tea, eat snacks, listen to the books and rest. Mingxin relayed Zong Zhengke's words, and the Xu Pozi outside thanked the slaves who followed the car again and again, and said that the three girls were compassionate and truly sympathetic.
After tossing for a while, Zong Zhengke got out of the car again and walked to the study with a clear heart. It's not an excuse for her to buy books, she really wants to find some idle books such as landscape travelogues and barnyard history and wild stories.
Before entering the bookstore, Zong Zhengke looked sideways again, and saw that the snow-white figure was playing more and more vigorously, and playing more and more wantonly, and not far away, the officers and soldiers who maintained order on the street could already be seen hurrying with knives, guns, and chains.
Mingxin firmly protected Zong Zhengke, and when he saw that there were more and more people watching the excitement, he was really nervous. While she was alerted to the presence of small people around, she persuaded in a low voice: "Girl, there are too many people outside, you better go in quickly." β
Zong Zhengke nodded, flashed into the study, and only half of the wooden door was open. There are two worlds inside and outside, the outside is boiling, but the inside is quiet and peaceful. The fragrance of books, ink, and paper intersect, which has a unique charm.
Zong Zhengke didn't see the clerk, and he wasn't in a hurry to look for it. She casually walked to a row of bookshelves, pulled out a book and looked down. It's luck, this is the travelogue of the predecessors.
Turning the pages quickly at a glance and making sure that the content would be of interest, Zong Zhengke closed the book and handed it to Mingxin to hold. In this way, slowly or quickly, she took four books in succession, and then heard the long-awaited chirping.
A snow-white figure shot in from outside, kicking over a row of bookshelves and kicking down the large stack of papers that were stacked upright. At this time, the clerk of the bookstore appeared out of nowhere. But it was a black-clothed young man who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a three-foot green whip in his hand, and yelled at the little troublemaker viciously: "Get out, go out!" β
The little snow-white monkey crouched on top of the tall bookshelf and tilted his head to look at the clerk. It suddenly bared its teeth, kicked its legs hard, and flew to its feet. I saw that the bookshelves it was squatting on followed in the footsteps of the bookshelves in front of itβit fell to the ground with a bang, and the books that were neatly placed fell to the ground with a clatter.
Ming Xin had already protected Zong Zhengke and avoided in the corner, and when he saw that the strange little monkey seemed to be planning to come to his side, there was a ruthless color in his eyes. If that thing dares to come and disturb the girl, she will definitely kill her, and she will not tolerate mercy.
"Don't be nervous, this little guy looks human, I'm afraid he won't hurt people." Zong Zhengke patted Mingxin on the shoulder and motioned for her to get out of the way. Mingxin hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to dissuade as before, but obediently let Zong Zhengke come out.
Zong Zhengke lifted the curtain of the falling veil and beckoned to the little monkey with a smile: "Little girl, come to my sister." β
This little monkey is naturally a long-lived child, and it will appear here, and it has also been agreed with Zong Zhengke a long time ago. Seeing that his mother really came to pick him up as promised, the little monkey was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and squeaked and screamed straight to Zong Zhengke, with a terrifying wind.
In the eyes of unknown people, it was this white-haired little devil who was running rampant lawlessly outside and was ruthless to a weak and slender little girl. Someone shouted, "Be careful! β
Before the words fell, Changshou'er had already jumped into Zong Zhengke's arms, gently scratching her neck with her claws, with a natural and intimate attitude. The person who reminded him chuckled and said clearly: "It turned out to be an acquaintance." β
Zong Zhengke hugged Changshou'er, followed the prestige, and looked up to see a person slowly descending from the stairs leading to the second floor on the left side of the bookstore. This man was wearing a azure silver silk dark pattern hooded cloak, and a hood was worn on his head, and only the red lips and the graceful chin with a shallow beauty groove could be seen. Although she couldn't see his face, she could still guess from his height, gait and voice that he was not very old.
"It must have been fate in the previous life, and the little girl and the little guy are so deed." Zong Zhengke didn't want Mingxin to guess anything, so he answered this strange young man like this.
The man walked silently and slowly, occasionally coughing twice with the folding fan he had opened in his hand. Descending to the first floor, he stood on his feet, standing not far or close to Zong Zhengke, looked at the storefront messed up by the little monkey, and sighed: "Since it is in love with the girl, then ask the girl to make an account for it." Myrrh, count the numbers. β
The clerk named myrrh answered happily, and without an abacus, his mouth clicked like a rain hitting stones, and quickly reported a string of accounts. Zong Zhengke didn't want to dwell on these, so he didn't listen to them. In the end, Myrrh reported the amount of one hundred taels, and she asked Mingxin to hand over the silver ticket.
"No wonder it is rumored that the three girls of the sect and politicians are sitting on mountains of gold and silver, and it is really not groundless." The young man who seemed to be the shopkeeper laughed softly, stretched out a cheeky hand to pull off the hood, and then bowed his hand and said, "No, Pei Junshao, it's abrupt." β
Pei, Jun, Shao!
"General, third in the world", Pei Junshao!?
Rao is Zongzheng is temperament is far better than ordinary people, and he can't help but widen his eyes and be extremely surprised. Yesterday, she was still seriously thinking about what kind of attitude to use to treat this person, why did he suddenly appear in front of her? And depending on the situation, did he come prepared?
It's weird! However, he really lives up to his self-proclaimed "average average, third in the world", this sick beauty face that bullies frost and snow is enough to shame most women, including Zong Zhengke himself.
Of course, Pei Junshao's so-called "third in the world" does not refer to his amazing appearance that is proud of the world, but his wisdom and strategy. However, the world knew about this, but it was not until after he made a contribution. Before this, the Pei Junshao that people knew, in addition to his dazzling family background, was just a sick son who was three points more beautiful than a woman.
