Chapter 41: Robbing People

Zhao Bo looked at the old lady's wrinkled face covered with a layer of incense powder, and he couldn't wait to scratch her arrogance. Relying on the old and selling old things, playing with him, but not looking at who he is, and what kind of thing is she? If it weren't for the late Marquis Wu Liuhou's help to the Zhao family, he really wanted to kick the old goods to death.

With patience, Zhao Bo smiled and said, "Auntie, don't joke with me." Didn't we talk about Brother Lan'er? ”

The old lady pretended to be confused: "Where is there something to say." Seeing Zhao Bo's fierce eyes, he said in shock, "Now that Brother Lan is not in good health, it is important to give birth and recuperate, so I should take Sister Fang back first." ”

Zhao Bo saw that the old lady seemed to be afraid, but he was not in a hurry, and asked again: "Auntie, did the seven girls in the house tell you about the suicide note before?" What did she say? ”

As soon as she mentioned this, the old lady reflexively remembered the sultry and smelly air in the dark iron box, and the whole person felt bad, and said with a white face: "I didn't say anything." How to ask again. ”

Zhao Bohu looked at the old lady suspiciously, and felt more and more that she was hiding something.

But she didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask again, so as not to tear her face and get along with each other in the future. The two chatted and gossiped, and the old lady said that she was going to leave for home.

In front of the gate of the East Courtyard, Fu Ying stopped and instructed Zhenyu beside him: "If you go to the outer courtyard, you will say that you have worked hard for the cook at noon today, and you don't need him to cook at night, so that he can rest." ”

Zhenyu saluted and said, "Yes." "Retreat.

Song said with a smile: "The cook also has a heart, and he knows that you didn't move much at the banquet and went back to the wing." A small stove was specially prepared to warm it. Thinking of Fang Cai's beautiful young man's light body kung fu, he said: "Fang Cai's young man is a rare one. ”

Fu Yi remembered the scene just now, and also praised: "Yes, he is so fast, he suddenly approached without even seeing people, but although he had an adventure today, he saw his mother's riding skills." ”

"Madame was a master of horses before she left the cabinet, but later she was too tired to take charge of the house's housework, and gradually she didn't have time to ride a horse." Aunt Yu said with a smile: "Madame's kung fu back then, but even the old lady praised it." The old lady she was talking about was Song's grandfather.

The group laughed and went inside the house. I sat down a little and went to change my clothes.

Fu Ying had just washed his face. Outside, a little girl replied under the corridor: "Girl, the Ninth Young Master is here." ”

"Please come in." I took the balsam paste and smoothed my face, rubbed some on the back of my delicate and white hand, and went outside.

Fu Fangchu was hanging the parrot under the porch. A budgie steps on the beam and flapps its wings. Chirped cheerfully.

I saw Fu Ying come out. "Little Tiger" took the initiative to shout "Hello." Hello! ”

"Good little tiger." Fu Fangchu looked back triumphantly: "Seventh sister, look at Xiaohu's cleverness." ”

"How can you not be smart? I heard the girls say that you are teaching Xiaohu to speak. Talking to himself all morning long. ”

Fu Minchu's face was slightly red, and he argued: "Where is self-talk, you don't understand, if you want to teach a parrot to learn to speak, but if you have to repeat a sentence thousands of times, I am persevering, and besides, the parrot can understand me, it can't be considered self-talk." ”

Xiaohu's nimble little head turned, as if he really understood Fu Fangchu's words.

Fu Ying smiled and said, "If you meet a suitable teacher bird another day, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Of course that's fine." Fu Fangchu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Seventh Sister also knows how to teach birds?" ”

"Why don't you understand? Let the teacher bird talk to the little tiger all day long, and save you from nagging to it by yourself, so that the girls will look behind your back and talk about you. ”

When it comes to playing, Fu Fangchu was full of interest, he especially hoped to teach Xiaohu more, and he would have more face when he turned around and brought it out.

"Seventh Sister is really a cool person, I understand your kindness, but the price of buying a teacher's bird is not low, I can't accept it plainly."

"What is unacceptable. I can't buy it right away, and when you buy it, you can accept it, do you want me to keep a little starling and learn to speak with me all day long? ”

Fu Fangchu was not a twisted character, and seeing that Fu Ying was so direct, he didn't continue to excuse himself, but said: "What you said at the banquet today is really refreshing. Just now, I also saw that the Zhao family was not doing well, and all the claws were stretched to our Fu family, but in that scene, I didn't have the courage to say it, I only turned around in my heart a few times, you dare to think and dare to say, but it is much stronger than me. ”

"What is strong or not, I call it wanton, you are all disciplined and polite." Fu Ying leaned on the beauty under the porch and sat down leisurely, "I am a person who has died once, I don't want to live so depressed, nothing is more than a death, I don't care about anything." You will take root in the Fu family in the future, but don't be like me. ”

Fu Fangchu sighed at Fu Ying's truth, and laughed at himself: "Isn't it clear what ability I am Seventh Sister?" Anyway, it's enough for me to eat and have fun in this life, and it doesn't matter who inherits the family business in the future. Maybe my grandfather Nanu worked hard, and maybe our little uncle will inherit it in the future. ”

Increasing the number of people in the house for the old lady is actually not a good thing for a man who can inherit the family business. Who wants to have one more competitor to themselves?

Fu Ying also thought of this, but she also knew that with the old lady's intelligence and feelings for the old lady, it was not easy to have a concubine. The Song family went to talk to the old lady, mainly because Zhao Zilan stayed in the house with a foreign man, so he deliberately blocked the old lady.

As he was talking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhenyu enter the courtyard gate. The smiling girl on weekdays will have a solemn face, which is not her painting style at all.

Fu Ying sat up straight: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhenyu walked quickly to the front, curtsied and replied: "Just now the maid went to the outer courtyard, and I didn't see the cook, and after inquiring, I learned that the old lady ordered someone to come, and invited the cook's eldest brother and the young man who had worked the grassland together, and I didn't know what to order." ”

Fu Ying was a little surprised.

Although the old lady likes to be in power, she just likes the feeling of playing with power, and she does not like to manage family affairs meticulously, and there are even fewer cases where she condescends to meet her subordinates.

There must be a reason for the sudden change of personality today.

Fu Ying's dark eyes narrowed, and he understood almost immediately. The old lady may have seen that there is a Song family with a high force value in the East Cross Courtyard, but there is no one available around her, right? Just now in front of the envoy, since the man named Ah Cuo said that he would not be separated from the cook and the round-faced boy, he had to go with the cook.

Originally, Fu Ying, a person with strong martial arts, didn't care very much. After all, even if he was invited, he wouldn't be able to stay with her all the time.

But the chef is different!

If the old lady really choked on the cook and took it to the big kitchen, wouldn't she have lost a lot of fun in the future? It's rare to find a good cook with such vegetarian dishes.

When Fu Fang first saw Fu Ying's solemn face, he knew that the old lady couldn't keep it there and what kind of moth she had made, so he hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the seventh sister?" But what's the matter? If you say something difficult to tell me, I will be angry for the seventh sister. ”

His death-defying tone made Fu Ying sneer: "If you are angry for me, you are not afraid of offending your grandmother." ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, no matter what I do, my grandmother won't treat me much, I don't do anything, he won't strangle me, I'm a man anyway." When Fu Minchu grinned, he showed his white and neat teeth.

Fu Ying couldn't help laughing more and more, got up and said, "Ninth brother, I'm going to go to the courtyard to say hello to my grandmother at this time, and when the cook is rested, I'll invite you to eat together." ”

"Seventh Sister doesn't say that I have to bother, the vegetarian dishes eaten at today's banquet are really excellent, I heard that Seventh Sister has a good cook, and I only know what a good method is after tasting it today."

The two said goodbye to each other, and Fu Fangchu took off the birdcage and left first.

Fu Ying called on Comb Yun and Zhenyu: "Bring the candied fruit, let's go see the old lady." ”

The two maidservants were a little hesitant, glanced at each other and said, "Girl, do you want to go back to the eldest lady first?" ”

Just kidding, if you ask the Song family to go first, you will have to make things bigger. really made the old lady a good one, and they couldn't bear the charge of disobedience.

"No need, my mother has worked hard today, let her rest, let's go."

Fu Ying went out on the spot.

The two maidservants looked at Fu Ying's slender back, and then glanced at each other. What's the matter with their girl's warlike look? It doesn't look like he went to give candied fruit to the old lady, but it looked like he was fighting with the old lady for candied fruit.

Walking along the alley paved with blue bricks all the way to the upper room, he was about to reply when he arrived at the spring grass under the corridor, but he stopped under Fu Ying's fierce gaze. Although the old lady is the master, the girl in front of her is not easy to mess with, and she can't afford to offend either side.

Chuncao lowered her head and looked at the embroidery on the tip of her shoes and studied it, and made up her mind that she didn't see Fu Ying.

Fu Ying stood in front of the door, and through a beaded curtain, he could see the interstitial screen placed in the center of the main room of the upper room, and behind the floor cover on the right side of the interstitial screen was the side room. And the conversation between the old lady and the young man was also faintly heard.

“…… People go to high places, I haven't seen anyone who is willing to be mediocre, I am giving you a chance, but don't toast and don't eat and drink. The old lady's voice was already revealing some impatience.

Immediately a male voice said: "Thanks to the old lady's love, the villain can only stir-fry, but he can't afford the old lady's praise and praise, as for what toast or punishment, the villain will not eat wine, and he will never be able to bear your reward if he does his part." ”

The male voice sounded unfamiliar, and Fu Ying concluded that he was Archer.

Immediately, it was a slightly more familiar voice, with a deep magnetism behind the young man's voice changer: "What my brother said is that the old lady is also a person who understands righteousness, so why should she be more serious here with our grass people?" Since my brother has already received the reward of the Seventh Maiden, it is impossible for him to regret it anymore, and he will never change his master unless the Seventh Maiden does not use him.
