Chapter 82: Squirrel Guiyu
Because he was thinking about finding a witch doctor, Xu Qijin's time at home suddenly became much less. In addition to going to Yuwang's Mansion to be a companion during the day, he also found time to go to the General's Mansion to accompany the county lord of Jiaren. came and went, and finally got close to Yang Mengyun.
Xu Qirong couldn't speak, and she couldn't often go to Yuwang's Mansion and the General's Mansion to visit the door, Xu Qijin was not at home, so she had to stay in Fengbo Building all day to read books or something. Gao Bo was afraid that she would be bored, so he specially asked someone to send Xu Qirong a little squirrel.
The little squirrel is only the size of an adult's palm, and his temperament is quite gentle, and the nails of his claws are not too sharp, so he doesn't have to worry about scratching Xu Qirong. The little black bean's eyes flashed and flickered, holding an almond, crunching, kicking the shell away after a while, and then holding the flesh inside to eat to his heart's content.
Even though Xu Qirong is an adult in his twenties, when he sees such a little squirrel, he can't help but soften his heart and play with a big hair, his favorite thing every day is to take melon seeds to peel for it, and then take advantage of the little squirrel to be unprepared, snatch the melon seeds, and throw it a melon seed, and wait until he is enough, then put the snatched melon seeds in front of the little squirrel to see it eat with satisfaction.
When Xu Qijin saw this squirrel for the first time, he was also happy, and happily discussed with Xu Qirong to name it, and finally Xu Qirong patted it and called it Guiyu.
It just so happened that Mama Gui listened to Princess Pingtai's instructions to come to Fengbo Building to take Xu Qirong's practice notebook over the past to check, and heard Xu Qijin shouting Guiyu at the squirrel, and couldn't help but look surprised: "Good squirrel, why is it called the name of the fish?" ”
Yu Xia smiled on the side: "The girl said, when she talks about squirrels, she thinks of Guiyu, and it is appropriate to call Guiyu." ”
There is a famous dish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, called "squirrel osmanthus fish", take the season fish, remove the belly bones, drag the egg yolk, fry the yellow, and make the squirrel style. Oil, soy sauce burned.
The corners of Gui Mama's mouth twitched, and Xu Qirong looked at her with a look of "Is this name good?" I had to say with a calm face: "The name chosen by the fifth lady is naturally very good. Then he couldn't help but add, "It's all colorful, flavorful." ”
Xu Qirong smiled proudly at this time, and asked Yu Xia to get the notebook and give it to Mama Gui.
When Mama Gui came out of the Storm Building, Xu Qijin shook his head at Xu Qirong helplessly: "Mama Gui is an old man next to her grandmother, not an ordinary person, what are you going to do to trick her!" It was just one sentence, and he didn't continue to accuse. Her sister can be lively, she is naturally happy. will remind Xu Qirong of this, but he is afraid that Mama Gui will annoy Xu Qirong because of this.
So, in the next few days, Princess Pingtai was busy checking the affairs of the merchants, Xu Qijin was busy making friends with Yang Mengyun and following up on the matter of finding witch doctors, Xu Qiyu was busy running to Lanzhi Courtyard every day, even the fourth master Xu who had always been idle didn't know what he was busy with, there were always six or seven days out of ten days to go out, Gao Bo was busy opening a shop, and he was busy looking for someone who could use it. Xu Qirong thought about it, and had to be busy raising osmanthus fish.
After another two years, seeing that the three-year period that Xu Qirong said was approaching, the border war had stopped, and General Yang Xiao had returned to the dynasty victoriously, and the witch doctor family that Xu Qijin had been thinking about still hadn't been found. Not only did the witch doctor family outside the gate not be found, but even Ye Lin, who raised two-color flowers in Jiangzhou, was still missing. Xu Qijin became a little impatient because of this.
Xu Qirong herself was quite calm, she didn't have much hope on the witch doctor outside the gate, and she wasn't sure that she could really find Ye Lin before Hua Weijing. The worst plan is to live a dumb life like this for the rest of your life. can save her sister, dumb for a lifetime, she is also willing.
Xu Qijin couldn't listen to Xu Qirong's persuasion, and began to run to Jiangzhou under the pretext of going to discuss business with Gao Bo. In the past two years, Gao Bo's business has become bigger and bigger, because Xu Qijin has paid attention to Jiangzhou intentionally or unintentionally, and half of the industries under Gao Bo's management are related to Jiangzhou. Xu Qirong couldn't stop it, and thought that nothing would happen to Gao Bo, so he had to let Xu Qijin go.
The spring breeze is ten miles, and the wall blows another mile, and every house is already full of spring. Princess Pingtai likes flowers and plants, so the courtyard of Lanzhi is full of purple and red. On this day, Xu Qirong was accompanied by Qiu Nong in the yard with kindness, Guiyu was full of interest in the falling flowers all over the ground, picking them up one by one and piling them up under a plant of evergreen, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. Qiu Nong asked his subordinates to get a reclining chair, and Xu Qirong leaned on it, watching Guiyu busy and looking interesting.
In the past two years, Xu Qirong's stature has risen a lot, slightly revealing the coquettishness of some little girls. When the spring breeze blows, I feel a little sleepy. In a daze, I saw Princess Pingtai walking from the path between the flowers with a gloomy face.
Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, still a little confused. When Princess Pingtai walked in front of her, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and saluted. But in the bottom of my heart, I was muttering, although Princess Pingtai didn't have a good face, she was just cold at most on weekdays, why did she have such an angry face today!
Because Xu Qirong was teasing Guiyu here, the people here had already been sent far away, so they left a Qiu Nong to serve here. Princess Pingtai opened her mouth with some anger: "This foolish idea, did you think of it, or did Sister Jin think of it?" ”
Xu Qirong was surprised and gestured: What kind of foolish idea? But I was shocked in my heart, my sister went to Jiangzhou again a few days ago, could it be that what happened to my sister over there?
Princess Pingtai was also surprised: "You don't know? ”
Xu Qirong nodded and shook her head, she didn't say what it was, and she didn't know if she knew!
Seeing that the blankness on Xu Qirong's face did not seem to be fake, Princess Pingtai pursed her lips and didn't want to say more, and waved her hand to signal Mama Gui to speak. After listening to Mama Gui, Xu Qirong knew how bold her sister was!
The Communist Party of China only ran to Jiangzhou seven or eight times, and then attracted the Yi family in Jiangzhou to come to the door to propose.
Xu Qijin is also thirteen years old this year, and the year of cardamom is a good time to say goodbye. At this time, they should be married, and then they will be taught at home for two or three years, and after they have been married, it is time to get married. There are hundreds of women in the family, and the Yi family comes to the door to propose, even if the identity of the Yi family is almost there, it is a very normal thing.
What made Princess Pingtai angry was that the Yi family came to the Xu family to propose marriage, and they came with Xu Qijin's handwritten letter. Xu Qijin generously wrote in the letter that he could promise the Yi family this family business.
After listening to Mama Gui, Xu Qirong also pursed her mouth, feeling angry and uncomfortable in her heart. Although the Yi family is only a merchant family, if the family rules are good and the people are good, it is not impossible to consider. It's just that Xu Qijin wants to accept the Yi family, but it is because the Yi family is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Jiangzhou.
No need to ask, Xu Qirong has already guessed Xu Qijin's intentions.
There was no news from the witch doctor outside the gate, and Xu Qijin put most of his hopes on Ye Lin.
Xu Qirong took a step back in a panic, and almost stepped on the squirrel passing behind her, Guiyu was startled, and ran to the side with palpitations.
No, she wants to go to Jiangzhou to stop her sister, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, I'll tell my sister the truth. The truth of Ye Lin, the truth of rebirth, if it is a sister, it is not impossible to say!
Thinking like this, Xu Qirong's eyes became firm. In the palm of Princess Pingtai's hand: I want to go to Jiangzhou.
Princess Pingtai was silent for a moment, and then said, "It just so happens that I have something to do and I have to go to Jiangzhou, you should think about how to persuade Sister Jin first." ”
Xu Qirong looked at Princess Pingtai in surprise, and Princess Pingtai explained in a light tone: "I heard that Zhou Wei has a younger sister, who is born with a willow waist and is not like a mortal, and there is nothing to do, so it is better to go and see the strangeness." ”
I haven't heard the name Zhou Wei for more than two years, and when I heard it at first glance, I couldn't help but be a little stunned, and when I realized who Princess Pingtai was talking about, Xu Qirong's first reaction was that his grandmother had been investigating this matter all these years, and the second reaction was, how could Zhou Wei have a sister in Jiangzhou!
At the beginning, Zhou Wei was given death for the crime of pretending to be a candidate for Qiuyi, others believed it, but Xu Qirong didn't believe it! Whether Zhou Wei was killed because he abducted Jiaren and eloped or something else, it was all for the sake of royal face, how could Emperor Chen Qian still let people who had a relationship with Zhou Wei stay in this world? Even if Zhou Weizhen has a younger sister, he should be incognito at this moment, how can he appear in Jiangzhou, which is so close to the imperial city!
Princess Pingtai glanced at Xu Qirong meaningfully: "If Sister Rong thinks it's interesting, why don't we go and see it together?" ”
It seems that he is asking for Xu Qirong's opinion, but the non-refusal in his eyes can not be refused, Xu Qirong can still see it!
Xu Qirong nodded and agreed. Don't blame her for being careful, if Zhou Wei's sister was really in Jiangzhou, and she had a reputation that was not like that of mortals, it would be impossible for Princess Pingtai to find out about her for more than two years.
Xu Qirong sighed in his heart, cleaned up his expression, and looked so well-behaved that he couldn't be more well-behaved. She only cares about her sister's marriage now, and she doesn't want to talk to Princess Pingtai about Zhou Wei at all.
At the beginning, Xu Qirong excites Princess Pingtai to investigate Zhou Wei's affairs, but Princess Pingtai is not completely unconscious. At that time, it was just that Sister Rong accidentally knew something, and it was inconvenient to say it, so she had to borrow her own hand to check. As a grandmother, why not follow her once! When she finds out the clues, Sister Rong will naturally be unable to hold back and tell everything she knows.
Princess Pingtai glanced at Xu Qirong deeply, she didn't expect Xu Qirong to have no intention of confessing at this time, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, with her cold temperament, she was disappointed, and she didn't show it on her face.
In addition to disappointment, it is more dignified. Her subordinates also have some means, and Cha Zhouwei's sister naturally doesn't need to bother much, what surprised her was that for two years, her people didn't find out a little bit about the business. Fortunately, he has been sending people to follow Zhou Fangyin, and when he learned that Zhou Fangyin suddenly arrived in Jiangzhou, he immediately sent someone to Jiangzhou, but he unexpectedly got the news of the business.
