Chapter 167: Gift-giving
An Zi really admires Xie Xiaoman.
After all, her background is not good, and in a place like Fireworks Alley, whether she is a girl or a mother, she always gives people the impression of being "unclean".
Even if a man spends money to support it, he is all going through the motions and pretending, and in the end he is not secretly scolding a "**", turning his face is much faster than turning a book.
An Zi is not very old, but he has seen many people and all kinds of people in his life.
She is not conceited, she can really see through people's hearts. Xie Anshi's Qi cultivation kung fu has been practiced to the extreme, but Xie Xiaoman's "truth" towards himself is something An Zi can feel, and it is also something she is moved by.
Women are sometimes magical creatures, and it's just a matter of being looked down upon by men, but women have to be jealous and belittle each other.
The women of the good family don't want to come to Fireworks Alley, even when they hear this place, they can't wait to spit out two mouthfuls of spit. But Xie Xiaoman not only came, but also generously commensurate with the girls and sisters here, and even gave poems.
This is indeed a remarkable thing.
The most important thing is that An Zi can see that Xie Xiaoman treats each other sincerely, and there is no false component, and there is only a pure heart in front of him.
Such a "clean" girl, An Zi has seen too few and too little.
"I heard about you and General Huan a while ago, and I heard that you went to the north, which really scared me! That battlefield is so dangerous, even if you are a cultivator, you shouldn't rush there, in case something goes wrong. Don't worry me to death! An Zi grabbed Xie Xiaoman's hands and rubbed them in his palms, like a nagging eldest sister, and frowned. Where did this go? Why are your hands cold like this? Can you eat? It just so happened that someone sent a few pheasants two days ago, the meat quality is acceptable, let's stew a chicken soup for you! ”
An Zi said that he was about to call someone, but Xie Xiaoman hurriedly stopped.
Xie Xiaoman said with a smile: "Sister An Zi, don't be in a hurry to entertain guests, wait for me to make my intentions clear first, and see if Sister An Zi will welcome me!" ”
An Zi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. actually showed a little charming, covered his mouth with long sleeves and smiled: "What do you mean?" Is that so mysterious? Let me guess, I guess it's the owner who came to get the money, right? ”
"Sister An Zi guessed it." Xie Xiaoman smiled.
"What's the big deal!" An Zi got up with a smile. Holding a stack of account books and a locked small wooden box next to him, he said with a smile, "Collect the accounts, it's really rare to be so polite to you." In fact, the money should have been sent a long time ago. It's just that I'm thinking. If this account is sent directly to Wuyi Lane, it seems that it will insult Xiaoman's reputation, so you don't dare to go rashly, so I have been saving it here. ”
When Xie Xiaoman saw the small wooden box, his eyes lit up, and there was a faint layer of light on it, which was faint and undetectable, and it seemed that there was a spiritual qi turning. Curious, he asked, "This wooden box ...... Didn't Xue Zicheng do it? ”
An Zi was slightly stunned: "I really don't know who did it." It's just that General Huan gave it, except for me. No one can open it. Others can't open the key when they have it, it's also strange to say, isn't it a fairy art? ”
Xie Xiaoman took a closer look and found that it was indeed a spiritual qi circulation, and its function was similar to that of the spiritual wall, which could isolate all the breath outside of An Zi. Among them, the aura is not strong, but it is used really cleverly, Xie Xiaoman stretched out his hand and poked, and found that the faint spirit wall above moved slightly, and the touch was like poking jelly, and he couldn't help but admire.
An Zi waited for Xie Xiaoman to take it again, opened it with a smile, took out a few pieces of gold inside, and handed it to Xie Xiaoman. Unfolded the account book again, sorted out the abacus, and said while splitting and cracking: "Xie Niangzi bought shares last month, and shared the account with General Huan. There will not be too much difference between us going in and out here every month, that is, the new year and the year after the year are slightly lighter, and the rest of the days are spent on repairs and the girls' food and clothing. This month the porch was repaired, three stonemasons were hired, the work took six days, and cost six thousand four hundred and thirty-three dollars. It took two hundred and sixty-eight ...... for Miss Jin to have a miscarriage and take medicine."
"Sister An Zi, wait!" Seeing this, Xie Xiaoman waved his hand again and again, covered his forehead, and smiled helplessly, "Sister An Zi, you don't have to settle these accounts with me, just give as much as you want, I can trust you." ”
"This ......" Sister An Zi was stunned and hesitated, "It's not in accordance with the rules, right?" ”
"What are the rules and regulations, I can trust you, Sister An Zi, can't you still trust yourself, Sister An Zi?" Xie Xiaoman smiled.
An Zi was moved in her heart, she was also a cheerful person, and immediately patted her thigh and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" Since Xiaoman can trust me, I have no reason for Anzi to be a mother-in-law! In the future, if I An Zi misses Xiaoman a penny, I will not be able to die well! ”
Xie Xiaoman was startled, and hurriedly smiled: "How can it be so serious, Sister An Zi's oath is too ruthless." ”
"What are you afraid of! It won't be worse for you anyway. An Zi glanced at Xie Xiaoman, his eyes full of charm.
Xie Xiaoman looked at it and couldn't help but admire: "Sister An Zi, if I were a man, I guess I wouldn't be able to bear it now." ”
"You little ghost!" An Zi laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and nodded Xie Xiaoman's forehead, and said, "I haven't married yet, but I even molested the old lady!" Don't be afraid of jokes when you say it! ”
Xie Xiaoman also laughed.
"Xiaoman, you don't have to come to withdraw money every month, let's set a time, and I'll send it to you. Or if you think something is inappropriate, I'll find someone else to send it. ”
An Zi thought a lot, and among the guests who often came to patronize the business of Lanyue Building, there were also many characters in Wuyi Lane, and their identities were naturally greeted directly by An Zi. She was afraid that if she went to send the money herself, she would inevitably meet those people, and she would not have a good reputation for Xie Xiaoman at that time.
Xie Xiaoman naturally knew An Zi's worries, shook his head and smiled: "Sister An Zi doesn't have to worry, I don't live in Wuyi Lane, but in a small house in Nanluo Alley." I'll leave the address to you, it doesn't matter if you send money or not, if Sister An Zi is idle, you can go to my place to sit. It's just that the place there is a little cramped and shabby, Sister An Zi shouldn't be surprised. ”
"How do you live outside?" An Zi was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but be a little worried, couldn't it be that Xie Xiaoman had something unpleasant with the people in the family?
Xie Xiaoman explained the reasons to An Zi one by one, and said with a smile: "Sister An Zi, you don't have to worry about me, I am a person who lives all over the world, and it is the same wherever I live." By the way, Sister An Zi, Xiaoman still has something to ask. I have a sister in the yard who is in labor, and she is now giving birth. I'm often not around, I don't know much about these things, and I want to find someone to help take care of them, but I don't know how to hire someone. ”
"Maternity?" An Zi felt strange, and simply asked about Xianglan's origin, Xie Xiaoman only said that it was a friend's wife, and An Zi didn't ask more when he saw this, but said, "Logically speaking, it is naturally the easiest to go to the dental store to buy a girl, but according to what you said, the girl's body doesn't seem to be too good, and she needs to be taken care of." Most of the little girls in Yaxing are young, not to mention whether they can pay attention to it is another matter. It is better to take care of pregnant women with experience, and never slack off. ”
"Yes, I also know the joints, so I came to ask Sister An Zi." Xie Xiaoman nodded.
"Hmm-" An Zisi paid for a moment and said, "Okay! You don't have to worry about this matter for now, I'll help you think of a way, and at the latest in three days, you must find a suitable person to send it over! ”
Of course, Xie Xiaoman trusted An Zi, and the things he had been thinking about in his heart had been settled, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly got up to thank him.
"Thank you for what! It is natural to help the owner do things, is there still a reason to ask for thanks? An Zi said with a smile.
"Sister An Zi, you're ridiculing me!"
Xie Xiaoman said goodbye to An Zi, and took the few pieces of loose gold home.
As soon as she entered the door, she sent out that the yard was full of messy things, and Sister Xianglan was standing in the middle of the yard in a cotton dress and narrow skirt, looking at the pile of things with sadness.
"Xiaoman, you're back! What was this sent by Xue Fushang, I didn't think much about it at first, but it turned out that a lot of things were sent by Huhula, and I didn't know whether I should accept it or not. Xianglan said with a slight panic.
"Ahh It's me who is not good, I forgot to tell Sister Xianglan first. Xie Xiaoman explained the origin of these gifts, and probably flipped through them, and found that there were many types of them, and they were indeed all good things. Not to mention the others, only one of the mink furs was very much in line with Xie Xiaoman's wishes, her eyes lit up, and she directly pulled out the mink fur and draped it on Xianglan.
Xianglan was startled, she didn't dare to wear it at all, and quickly took it off: "My God, where is this something I can wear." ”
"What you're afraid of, it's all for us, and I don't need this." Xie Xiaoman said with a smile, "Pregnant women are the biggest, now Sister Xianglan, you are the most expensive person in our yard, who will you wear if you don't wear it!" ”
"I'm a maid, and it's already God's kindness to be able to touch it, if you really wear these things, wouldn't you have to lose your life! I don't dare! Xianglan stepped back again and again.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaoman didn't force it, but smiled: "Where is this going, there will be a lot of things sent by others in the future, when the time comes, Sister Xianglan, I'm afraid you won't even be able to look down on such clothes!" ”
Afraid that the cold outside would hurt his body, Xie Xiaoman first "invited" Xianglan back to the house, and then came out to cook a fetal medicine for her.
Xie Xiaoman thought to himself, it was useless to keep this thing by himself, it was better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to Uncle Anshi. Anyway, this "business" was also stopped by Uncle An Shi, and it is not an exaggeration to give a thank you gift.
Well, by the way, it's best to find something small that can be given to Xie Xuan, that little guy has accompanied him for a while, and he is not good at treating him. (To be continued......)
