Chapter 13 Hiring Money
Emerging dishes also need to be developed and refined slowly, and they are not immediately available and widely circulated.
The winter sun crosses overhead, and soon, the day passes, and the business is not good, but it is also much more profitable than grinding tofu and helping people do embroidery.
In the middle, Ah Qiao, a descendant of the Zhang family, came once and asked about embroidery, but Qiao Yue obeyed Aunt Wang's instructions and insisted that she couldn't embroider, and the silk last time was from Aunt Wang'er's hand.
Ah Qiao's face was very ugly, and when he was leaving, he looked at Qiao Yue with a very vicious look, and he followed the entrance of the village, as if he was looking for Aunt Wang.
Qiao Yue doesn't care about her, anyway, there is no need to care about people who have nothing to do with her eight poles, she believes that Aunt Wang will not harm herself.
After thinking about it, at the end of this day, in addition to the cost, there are twelve copper plates, as long as this progress is followed, it should be able to raise one or two silver in three months.
Qiao Yue was overjoyed in her heart, the dowry for her eldest brother should have been settled, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.
When it was dark, Liu Xiang came back, with a compelling majesty on his face, which made Qiao Yue hold back the fire in his stomach and didn't dare to send it to him, but asked with concern: "What's wrong?" Don't your parents want you too? ”
Liu Xiang looked at her, his eyes were slightly red, as if Qiao Yue's words had touched the depths of his heart, a trace of sourness flashed on his face, and he sighed: "Yes, my father and mother don't want me anymore, and I can't pay back the money I owe you, do you still take me in?" ”
"Don't think nonsense, how can my father and mother not want their own children, good men are ambitious, as long as you don't be a thief in the future, I will take you in, hehe, you see I earned twelve copper plates today, you follow me in the future to ensure that you don't starve to death."
Qiao Yue said very seriously, her eyes clear.
Liu Xiang laughed heartily, but the noble and arrogant momentum between his eyebrows couldn't be suppressed even if he was dressed in cloth, and he smiled: "Tell your eldest brother that you need one or two silver, so if you get married, how much dowry will you ask the other party to pay?" ”
The topic changed too abruptly, Qiao Yue's face froze, and Zhao Qi's figure suddenly appeared in her mind, and then a faint flush swelled up, so shy that she turned her face away, and muttered with a bit of a girl's Huaichun appearance: "I'm not married, I want to bring a child to my eldest brother, watch Xiaomeng get married, and then bring a child to Xiaomeng, wait for my mother to come back, wait..."
"Wait for Brother Zifeng to come and marry me on a tall horse after high school."
Of course, Qiao Yue didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just said it secretly in her heart.
"Haha..."Liu Xiang laughed, his momentum rose sharply, "The red lotus root is hidden in the mud, if you are like this, it is a pity if you are like this, if you are not married, I will prepare two taels of silver to marry you." ”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, the solemn look on his face seemed to have subsided a little, and strode forward.
Qiao Yue looked at Liu Xiang in front of her strangely, and always felt that he was weird after he came back from a trip to Qizhou City today, and the whole person had completely changed, just like when she first met her at home more than ten days ago, that kind of nobility, that kind of arrogance revealed another mysterious color on him all the time.
Is he really a thief?
This thought was just a flash, Qiao Yue was unwilling, carried a basket of dishes and chopsticks, chased after him and said: "Little thief, don't talk big, you can't take out a copper plate, and you are ashamed to give me two taels of silver, when a thief is such a wretch, you have nothing to do in your life." ”
"If I can come up with the dowry, will you marry or not?"
"No robbing, no stealing, as long as you can take out two taels of money, I will marry you."
"Well... Haha..."
The two frolicked and went to Qiao Yue's house.
……
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was dawn, and she made money on the first day of opening a restaurant, and Qiao Yue was diligent.
I got up early in the morning, walked around the yard twice, and didn't see Liu Xiang, so I looked in the house again, but found that the eldest brother had a neat stack of clothes and a letter on his bed.
Open the letterhead, there are two or two lines of silver revealed, only to see the yellowed letterhead on a line of majestic handwriting outlined, "The silver has been lowered, you are already Liu's woman, three years later, I will marry you, the thief has gone, don't read!" ”
Qiao Yue laughed, looked left and right busily, carefully put the silver into her arms, and scolded with a smile: "Finally, it's over, hehe, or I'm amazing, I just pulled out two taels of silver from this thief who doesn't pluck his hair, and you can still not have some blood in the hands of this girl!"
Ha ha... Earn big... Stupid, wait until you are a fool, my brother Zifeng would have married me three years later, and I was already Mrs. Zhao at that time, who would care about you thief..."
Seeing the money, Qiao Yue had already forgotten about it, and with Liu Xiang leaving, she didn't think about where the money left by Liu Xiang came from.
Early in the morning, two taels of silver were harvested, Qiao Yue was in a good mood, carrying the ingredients and chopsticks on her back, and went to the entrance of the village with light steps, starting a new day to make money.
……
The sound of horses' hooves is urgent, and a set of eight horses gallops at night, passing through Bijia Mountain, Tiger Leaping Mountain, Wild Wolf Mountain, Goukanpu, and Killing Ridge, and stops on the bank of the Qijiang River at noon.
The man led by him turned over and dismounted, with fortitude on his dark face, and hugged his fists at the man behind him and said: "Lord Wang, after crossing the Qijiang River, the opposite side is the boundary of Huaizhou, I have known that I have passed on the ** in Huaizhou, take care of the prince." ”
His voice was like thunder, his momentum was majestic, and the muscles of his arms were high and bulging, and he was like a tiger general.
The man opposite him returned the salute, and said with some reluctance: "Brother Qiao, why is this, didn't we already talk about it yesterday?" A good man should make contributions to the country, like Brother Qiao, a good martial artist, follow me to appease Nanhuai, level the four yi, lead thousands of troops, and keep one side safe. ”
The two people who spoke were none other than Qiao Shan and Huai Wang Liu Xiang, half a month ago Liu Xiang left the palace as an adult, entered the fiefdom of Huaizhou, passed by Qizhou and was chased and killed, and his entourage was killed and wounded, and was rescued by Qiao Shan, who returned from the bloody battle of Wolf Mountain.
That's when Qiao Yue found out about Liu Xiang after she went home, and Qiao Shan was ashamed to be a robber and had no face to face his younger brothers and sisters, so he didn't dare to show up.
Speaking of the general's armor, it is also a battlefield of corpse mountains and a sea of blood, but compared to his identity as a robber, it is naturally not the same, Liu Xiang's words finally touched Qiao Shan's heart, he said: "Qiao Shan is a thief for one day, a thief for life, how can he have the face to see his sister again." ”
Speaking of Qiao Yue, his eyes were a little moist when he was an eight-foot-tall man, and the man didn't flick his tears because he didn't get to the sad place.
Qiao Yue's eldest brother, who she thought she was proud of, became a robber.
He promised to cure the abscess on his sister's forehead, but he went for three years, but in the end it was a lie after lie, and his sister's forehead did not improve in the slightest.
That year, Qiao Yue was only ten years old, she had to help people grind tofu, help people embroider, and take care of her younger brother, and herself, drifting for three years, except for the reputation of a robber, nothing was accomplished, for Qiao Yue, he felt a strong sense of guilt and indebtedness.
