Chapter 335: Get Food
Qi's pregnancy has made the Xu family, which is particularly unhappy this year, excited, and now the child is still in Qi's womb, and I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, and the fifth master has already moved out a lot of books such as "Zhuangzi", "Mencius" and "Xiaoyaozi", saying that he wants to think of a good name for the children of the old eleventh family.
Even Princess Pingtai, who has been in worse and worse spirits in the past few months, her face turned a lot rosy after knowing the news.
After Xu Qirong explained that the strong men sent grain to the mountain, they were busy preparing for the New Year's gift, busy caring about the situation of the Qi family, and busy reporting the good news to everyone, so she forgot about the affairs of the group of women and children.
Unexpectedly, after only a few days, Gong Qi went down the mountain and came to Surabaya Street in disguise to look for her!
Gong Qi's sneaky appearance made Xu Qirong feel a bad feeling in his heart. There are some green shadows under Gong Qi's eyes, he is a person who practices martial arts, and he needs less sleep, which can make him haggard like this, but I am afraid that he has not had a good rest during this time.
Xu Qirong had a guess: "Could it be that those women and children on the mountain have not been properly resettled?" ”
Gong Qi sighed, looked a little embarrassed, and said secretly: "Miss Fifteen, can you still get food?" ”
Xu Qirong immediately understood that his guess was correct, frowned at the moment, and asked tentatively: "How much food do you need to be enough, do you need warm clothes?" ”
Gong Qi's face was relieved: "If you have warm clothes, it is also excellent, and you don't need much good material, so you just need to wear it on your body to warm up a little." Then he remembered the advice of his master. Realizing that he was about to say the wrong thing, he hurriedly changed his words, "But." It's just no, it's not a matter of urgency, the master has his own way. ”
Xu Qirong was very worried, if there was a way, Hua Yude would not let Gong Qi ask her if there was a way to get food! I'm afraid that the situation is even worse than she imagined!
However, since Hua Yude didn't allow Gong Qi to tell her clearly. She didn't want to continue to ask, so she pretended not to notice at the moment, and said, "I used to make clothes for the old people of the Hundred Years Old Hall. I made some more cotton jackets, and some cotton jackets for the street children in Shantang, and there were some left, so I left the food matter to figure out a way. You'll come back tomorrow evening to get it. Good no good? ”
When Gong Qi heard Xu Qirong say this, he thought that Xu Qirong was not very embarrassed to do these things, so he no longer shirked, and the expression on his face had a sincere smile: "In this way, I will be tired of Miss Fifteen." ”
Xu Qirong waved his hand: "Degong has helped me a lot, and there is very little I can do for Degong, how can I get your gratitude!" ”
Gong Qi shook his head: "That's not the reason, the master helped you." Naturally, you also thanked your master. ”
Xu Qirong stared at Gong Qi, waiting for him to say goodbye. Who knew that Gong Qi looked at her with a hesitant expression, obviously there was something left unfinished, and she was a little puzzled at the moment, could it be that it was about Hua Weijing, so she made Gong Qi so embarrassed?
sighed at the moment: "Say, what else is going on?" ”
Gong Qi hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Master explained that when Miss Fifteen is getting food, don't let people know the purpose of food." ”
Gong Qi was a little apprehensive after saying this, he was afraid that Xu Qirong would ask him the reason for such an instruction, and the reason why he hesitated was because he hadn't figured out what kind of nonsense to make up to fool this matter.
Who knew that Xu Qirong didn't say anything, just glanced at him lightly, and wrote lightly: "Qirong wrote it down...... Does Degong have anything else to say? ”
Gong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The master also said that the fifteenth miss handled the incident a few days ago, so there is no need to worry too much. ”
Xu Qirong's eyes widened when he heard this, what happened a few days ago? Could it be that it's my sister's incident?
Yes, there are no major events that need her to make a choice these days, and the incident that Hua Yude said must be referring to the incident of her sister.
Although he was confident enough in his guess before, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he really heard Hua Yude's instructions at this time, he was relieved and completely calmed down.
After Gong Qi left, Xu Qirong didn't care about taking people to see the wine needed for the sacrifice during the New Year's Festival, so he immediately took people and personally went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy cotton jackets for women and children. As for the food, it is also under the banner of preparing food for the New Year for the people of the Benevolence Hall and the Hundred Years Old Hall, but the number of people in the Shan Hall and the Hundred Years Old Hall is fixed, so it is not easy to buy too much.
Gao Bo saw that Xu Qirong was worried, and after retiring from the others, he quietly said to Xu Qirong: "Miss Fifteen, I met a few people a few days ago. ”
Xu Qirong saw that what he said was mysterious, and he had a vague guess in his heart, and asked, "What kind of person is it?" ”
Gao Bo's tone was a little mocking: "The most unpopular people, selfish, ruthless, and evil, they can even force a human life for a few copper plates, they are all outlaws!" ”
Xu Qirong was startled, and his face was a little pale: "Senior executives, how do you know these people?" ”
Seeing that she was scared, Gao Bo's tone softened a little, and explained: "Even in Xijing City, there is no shortage of such people, and when doing business, you always have to deal with them. It's just that this kind of thing is not easy to tell the ladies, and it doesn't have to pollute the ladies' ears. ”
Xu Qirong stared at Gao Bo, and was even more grateful to Gao Bo in his heart, the shop in Xijing City was so well taken care of by senior executives, I don't know how much effort he put into it!
Then I heard Gao Bo say: "We buy grain ourselves, and we still need to find a suitable excuse, they buy grain, but they don't ask the reason, but the price we need to pay is greater." ”
Xu Qirong frowned.
Gao Bo understood what she meant, and hurriedly said: "At least three times the price!" ”
Xu Qirong's face turned pale, obviously frightened! Fortunately, when the year ended, the shops and granges in his hands were all counted, and there was not a lot of surplus money, thinking that he really couldn't think of any other way to get grain, he was ruthless at the moment, and asked Gao Bo: "If you look for them to buy grain, when will you be able to get the grain at the earliest?" ”
First, it is rare for Degong to find her for help, and secondly, he thinks about those women and children on the mountain, who are hungry and cold, and they are indeed pitiful, and they can't bear it in the end.
Gao Bo was not surprised by Xu Qirong's decision, and immediately said: "Miss be careful, as long as the money is enough, you will definitely be able to get the food before Shen Shi tomorrow afternoon." (To be continued.) )
PS: Happy Christmas Eve, everyone...... I wish you all a lot of red envelopes today and tomorrow, and you can't be happy!
