Chapter 33: Intercession
In fact, there is one more thing for Fox Xiaomei to come to the market today, which is to go to the school to inquire about the fox fence school. Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang didn't say anything, and they didn't know how to worry in their hearts. The fox fence is the hope of their family, and if they are dropped out of school, it will be difficult to go back in the future.
Fox Xiaomei wanted to rely on her smallness, and begged Mr. to let Fox Fence go to the school early.
Since I see Mr., of course I have to give gifts. But a pack of jujube mud cake is to be sent to the school, and Wei Qingbao is invited to eat, where is enough? Besides, how can you take apart what you give away?
Thirty yuan can buy two servings of peanut cake, but when he came, Wei Qingbao said that his mother wanted to eat jujube cake.
What can I do?
Fox Xiaomei touched the money in the bag, her mouth was bitter, and the thirty dollars were spent, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat a bite!
Wei Qingbao saw that Hu Xiaomei was staring at a bag of jujube mud cakes for a long time, and her face was about to wrinkle into a bun, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Thinking that Hu Xiaomei had just taken thirty yuan from Hu Dayou, and it was not easy for Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang to make money, and the bean curd business had just started, she said: "Don't you know what kind of pastry to choose?" Don't worry, I'll treat you to it today. The choice is yours. ”
Hu Xiaomei shook her head and asked rhetorically: "I invite you, what kind of pastry do you like?" "If you really can't do it, let's talk about the school tomorrow.
Wei Qingbao's heart was like being smeared with honey, his face was full of smiles, and he insisted even more: "Let's talk about it a long time ago, I'll invite you to eat." Look at what kind of pastry you like, if you like to buy more, you can take it back to your aunt and they will all try it. ”
How dare Hu Xiaomei ask for more than one, she shook her head and said, "I don't like to eat this kind of pastry very much." felt that Wei Qingbao treated him very sincerely, and said that he planned to go to the school: "...... I just want to ask Mr.,When will the fence go to the school.,It's not a way to stay at home like this.。 But the first time I saw him, I couldn't go empty-handed. ”
Wei Qingbao suddenly realized, it turned out that Hu Xiaomei wanted to invite him to eat, and wanted to give a gift to the gentleman in the school, but he was suffering from the lack of silver on his body, so he hesitated.
Even if he didn't eat it, Hu Xiaomei could think about him so much, he was already very happy. Wei Qingbao immediately took out thirty yuan from his bag and gave it to Hu Xiaomei: "You see if it's enough, if it's not enough, I still have it on me." ”
Hu Xiaomei hurriedly excused herself, took out her own money, counted twenty wen to the guy, bought a pack of jujube mud cakes, turned her head and said to Wei Qingbao very guiltily: "Brother Qingbao, I'm sorry, I was going to invite you to eat today, but as a result, I caused you to accompany me for a trip in vain, and ...... another day."
"Second sister, you're too careful." Before Hu Xiaomei finished speaking, Wei Qingbao interrupted her: "When I came, I said that I would like to invite you to eat, we grew up together, why do you still care about these things with me, the fence is important." Besides, I don't like to eat these sweets, it's enough to have your heart. ”
Wei Qingbao said very sincerely, which made Hu Xiaomei even more embarrassed, and suggested: "Invite you to my house for dinner one day." ”
"Okay." Wei Qingbao couldn't ask for it, it was better than eating jujube mud cake.
Fox Xiaomei felt better. The two of them walked out of the pastry shop with their things and went directly to the school.
The school is in a quiet location, Hu Xiaomei doesn't know how big it is, just look at the courtyard wall The yard should not be small, the courtyard wall is built very high, the courtyard gate is made of big mahogany, and two big ginkgo trees are planted at the door. Looking in from the courtyard wall, the faint trunk branches, I believe that the environment inside is also very good. At this time, standing outside the school, you can still faintly hear the sound of reading aloud inside!
At this hour, the school was going to school, and Hu Xiaomei couldn't wait outside, so she asked the old man who was guarding the door at the gate of the courtyard to go in and report, the old man began to be unwilling, and the fox Xiaomei said, and saw that she was carrying something in her hand, so she guessed that she might have come to deliver something, and finally agreed to go in and report a letter.
After a while, he came out, but said, "Mr. is in class, you came to disturb him at this time, it seems that he is very unhappy, I don't know if I can't come out, see if you want to wait." ”
Hu Xiaomei frowned, bit her lower lip lightly, and regretted that she was too anxious, in her previous life, she was looking for someone when she was in college, and it was not a big deal, but she forgot that this was in ancient times, and the gentleman in the school had always been superior and respected, so he naturally attached great importance to etiquette and education.
The two of them stood outside for half an hour and didn't see anyone come out, Hu Xiaomei made up her mind to see Mr. today, and she would not give up halfway, so she said to Wei Qingbao: "Brother Qingbao, you go back first, I don't know when I have to wait here!" Don't get down to business. ”
Wei Qingbao smiled: "I don't have anything serious. My dad doesn't go out these days, and he doesn't have to follow me every day to pick out goods and go out to sell. I'm waiting for you. With that, he found a clean place and sat down.
Fox Xiaomei had no choice but to stand at the door of the academy with her things and look in from time to time. Fortunately, after a while, I saw a gentleman in his fifties, wearing a robe, walking neatly and neatly, walking towards the gate of the courtyard with a serious face.
Seeing the old man guarding the door, he asked with a stiff face, "Who is looking for me?" ”
The old man hurriedly walked out, pointed to the fox Xiaomei on the side of the road and said, "It's that little girl." ”
There is no doubt that this man must be the gentleman of the fox fence.
Hu Xiaomei immediately walked over quickly with her things, first bowed respectfully to him and bowed ninety degrees, and then said, "Hello, sir! My surname is Fox, and I am the sister of Fox Fence, and I am the second in the family. ”
The gentleman looked at the fox in surprise.
Although the fox is not short, but very thin, it gives people a very petite and delicate feeling, looking at most twelve years old, watery eyes can speak, the big face of the palm looks very childish, standing in front of him, respectful, very polite, and like an adult.
The impression is so good that people can't get angry even if they want to.
The gentleman's expression softened, and his voice was softer than just now, and said, "You are the second sister of the fox fence?" ”
Hu Xiaomei smiled and nodded respectfully: "Yes." I'm really sorry to disturb Mr. at this hour, but I'm worried that I won't be able to wait for Mr. after school, so I took the liberty to ask the old man to go in and report, and I ask Mr. for forgiveness! ”
The gentleman waved his hand at her with a straight face, and said, "Since I have come out, this matter will not be pursued." Do you have something to do with me? ”
Fortunately, she only asked someone to report it, and then waited outside by herself, otherwise she might not have seen this gentleman.
Hu Xiaomei was secretly glad in her heart, and hurriedly said to her intentions: "...... My father and mother were very angry, but luckily my husband stopped him from making a big mistake in time. Here, I thank my father and mother, sir. Saying that, he learned from those ladies to squat and make a big salute. His eyes swept quickly, the gray robe fluttered in front of him, and the black muslin shoes stood still.
That's what she did.
Fox Xiaomei secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
**Roll all kinds of requests!
