The waiting time is always long and boring.

Standing in place, Ye Xiaoyu began to look around. There are large courtyards in the back of the house, and even the back row is a two-story building with a garden. Last time, the flower jade girl lived in the back row. Thinking of the scene of meeting Hua Yuniang in the North District Market, Ye Xiaoyu felt unsteady in her heart, Hua Yuniang's sentence has not yet expired, but she appeared in the city freely, what happened here?

Since meeting Hua Yuniang, Ye Xiaoyu felt that her life in Rongzhou City should be more cautious, because no one could guarantee that Hua Yuniang would not take revenge on her in secret. The shop was so busy, she couldn't leave a single step, otherwise Ye Xiaoyu planned to go to the yamen to investigate and see if she could ask about Hua Yuniang's situation.

Now that Qinglang is not around, she is alone, not to mention that Hua Yuniang hired someone, even if she goes to the meeting alone, Ye Xiaoyu may not be able to do it.

The night in Rongzhou City began to blow strongly, and Ye Xiaoyu was only wearing a single shirt, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Suddenly, the Wang family's compound in front of him began to become noisy, but Wang Huaiqing hadn't come out yet, and couldn't help but stomp his feet, and Ye Xiaoyu had a bad premonition in his mind.

Ye Xiaoyu's hunch was right, but this matter was not a bad thing for people living in the Wang family's compound, it could only be regarded as daily life.

"This can't get by?! One doesn't come home all day, and the other is like a dead man at home!! ――”

Lin stood in the atrium and scolded.

"Look at what dishes are on the table now, dishes that have not changed for thousands of years. It's better to feed the pigs than this. Wang Huaiqing, you touch your heart and say, are you worthy of me who worked hard to pull you up since childhood?!! ”

Because the sun was very hot in summer, for fear of being tanned, Lin didn't go out for a single step, so he explained the work of buying vegetables to Wang Huaiqing. But Wang Huaiqing is also a man, and if he is asked to go to the market every day to bargain with those vendors, this is simply not possible.

It's not too difficult to buy vegetables, so he directly took the money and asked the old mother who cooked rice to buy it, about the daily dishes. Wang Huaiqing himself paid attention. There was no problem at all, he knew that Lin was using the topic to play, accusing him of not obediently going to the market to buy vegetables in person.

"Your sister is about to get married, are you embarrassed to let her eat such a dish every day?"

Seeing that Wang Huaiqing did not talk back. Lin's tone softened a little.

Since being grounded. Wang Yue'e has never been out of the room. The meals for the three daily meals were personally delivered to her by the maid in the West Chamber, most of the time. All the dishes that were sent in were returned intact. Therefore, the reason that Lin is saying now is not valid at all.

"I'm going to buy some sea cucumbers and abalone tomorrow and come back......"

Because Ye Xiaoyu was still waiting outside, Wang Huaiqing was a little anxious and was not in the mood to listen to Lin's verbosity.

"Sea cucumbers?"

Lin's eyes lit up.

"Then you should go to the North District Pier early and buy the ones that have just come back from the sea, fresh, and the sea cucumbers are best boiled into a chowder soup."

"yes, I see. I'll go to the dock tomorrow to have a look, it's not too early, mother, you go and rest first......"

Wang Huaiqing wanted to end the conversation quickly.

"Huaiqing, the two sets of clothes I customized at the South Street Cloth Shop are ready, you come in and help me see if this color is suitable, if it is not suitable, I will give it to your sister."

Wang Huaiqing's answer about tomorrow's dish just now made Lin very satisfied, and her tone instantly improved.

"Mother...... That ......"

Wang Huaiqing clutched his stomach, his face full of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

Lin frowned.

"I ...... My stomach hurts a little and I want to go to the hut......"

Wang Huaiqing lowered his head embarrassedly as he spoke.

"Oh, that's it. I thought it mattered. Go ahead and don't eat outside in the future. ”

Lin said, then turned around and entered the main house.

"Remember to come and see me later......"

Standing in the atrium, looking at Lin's back and walking into the main house, Wang Huaiqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to think of such a small excuse, otherwise Xiaoyu would have to stand outside all night.

Most of the boxes of tea bought last year were put into the storage room by the Lin family, and the reason why I said most of them was because before the Lin family took them away, Wang Huaiqing took a few boxes and put them in his east chamber, thinking that it would be more convenient for him to drink tea. Tonight, he must not be able to go to the storage room to get it, and directly give the boxes in his house to Xiaoyu.

Ye Xiaoyu was standing at the foot of the stone steps in front of the Wang family's compound, boredly drawing circles on the ground with the tips of her shoes. Wang Huaiqing has been in for a while, and it is not a way to wait like this, Ye Xiaoyu plans to draw two more circles, if he still doesn't come out, she will leave directly.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

A familiar voice rang out. Wang Huaiqing hurriedly ran down the stone steps.

"It's fine."

Ye Xiaoyu raised her head and smiled.

"Here's it."

Walking in front of Ye Xiaoyu, Wang Huaiqing handed Ye Xiaoyu a paper bag containing several boxes of tea in his hand.

"So much?"

The paper bag was very large, and Ye Xiaoyu visually saw at least five boxes inside.

"The box is small, so I don't drink it."

Wang Huaiqing said with a smile.

"Well, since you say so, then you're welcome. Another day, I have time to drink tea in the shop. ”

It was already late, Ye Xiaoyu was a little sleepy, and she was anxious to go back to sleep.

"Little Fish—"

Ye Xiaoyu had already walked to the entrance of the alley, and Wang Huaiqing's voice sounded behind him.

"Huh?"

Subconsciously turned his head and saw the person behind him standing in front of the gate, with the faint light of the lantern reflected on his face.

"Nothing, be careful on the road."

As he spoke, Wang Huaiqing smiled.

"Got it, let's get inside......"

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, she was so tall and dressed as a man, and there was a night market in Rongzhou City, it was absolutely safe.

Thinking of the man's dress, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly realized a problem. This Wang Huaiqing probably mistakenly thinks that he is a man, so he gets along with himself so informally, right?

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu didn't deliberately dress up as a man in ordinary times, but just felt that it was more convenient to wear men's clothes, but almost everyone mistook her for a man. This, she really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

"Little brother, do you want to sell this shop?"

This morning, Ye Xiaoyu was watering flowers at the door. Suddenly I heard such an unfriendly voice.

Disk off?

Plate your sister. Not to mention that this shop was opened by herself with a lot of effort, even in the early morning, it was very unfortunate to suddenly run to someone else's shop and say such things.

"Why do you ask?"

Ye Xiaoyu stood up straight. Turning his head to look at the boy standing in the sun.

"No, I don't. If you're going to sell it. I can buy it. ”

The boy said it for granted.

“！！ ……”

Looking at this person's appearance, Ye Xiaoyu was speechless for a while.

"Not for sale."

It's just a neurosis, how can anyone come to someone else's shop early in the morning to touch the mold. This day has just begun, and Ye Xiaoyu has not yet sold a piece of cake.

"Okay...... Then I can always buy cakes, right? ”

As he spoke, the boy walked up the steps.

Ye Xiaoyu followed behind and rolled her eyes speechlessly, Nima, I said that I would not have to buy cakes, and I still talked so much.

"Give me five of the milky ones, three of each of the ones with fruit on the shelf, and I want all the round dumplings, and then give me another pot of tea from your here......

The boy stood in front of the counter and crackled.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get it to me? ……”

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu standing still, the young man frowned and urged.

"You, buy so much, are you done eating?"

Just now, the young man ordered all the things in Ye Xiaoyu's shop, although the person in front of him was dressed very luxuriously, Ye Xiaoyu still had to wonder if he bought it from here and sold it to others.

"I'm not alone. Wouldn't it be nice for me to buy so much at once, you hurry up and wrap up what I want. ”

The boy's face was still taken for granted.

"Well, it's all covered."

Ye Xiaoyu wrapped the things that the boy wanted in oiled paper and put them in a basket and put them on the counter.

"Did you bring a pot for that milk tea?"

There are no plastic cups here, and liquid things like this are very troublesome to pack and take.

"No, use your pot here first, and I'll get it back to you tomorrow."

The boy's eyes were fixed on the intricately shaped silver teapot on the table inside.

"Uh, this ......"

Ye Xiaoyu was a little hesitant.

These teapots, she has invested heavily in silver, just to put them in the shop to make customers feel beautiful and beautiful, and she has never borrowed them, and she has never planned to borrow them.

"How about I pay a deposit?"

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's face full of hesitation, the young man said again.

Deposit?

It depends on how much you can afford to deposit.

Ye Xiaoyu planned to raise the amount of the deposit very high, and then let this person retreat.

"Ten taels of deposit."

Ye Xiaoyu also said this number, anyway, the other party would never agree.

"Ten taels?"

Sure enough, after hearing this number, the young man looked surprised.

"Your pot is silver, not gold, is it?"

"Anyway, it's just a deposit, and when you get the teapot back tomorrow, the money will be returned to you, and you won't lose money."

Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Lao Liu, take out the purse in my carriage......"

The boy didn't answer right away, but turned around and shouted outside.

Following his gaze, Ye Xiaoyu saw a carriage parked on the side of the street not far away.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man of about fifty years old came out of the carriage, still holding a purse in his hand.

"Do the math, how much is that?"

The young man said generously.

"The pastries and milk tea are a total of one tael and fifty wen, just count you one tael, and then the deposit is ten taels."

Ye Xiaoyu took out the abacus and quickly pulled the abacus.

"Okay, the money is here for you, remember to return the ten taels deposit to me tomorrow."

The young man said, motioning to Lao Liu, who was standing behind, to take away the basket on the counter. (To be continued......)
