151 Deliberately embarrassed
Not to mention that the bridge repair in Lijia Village and the construction of Yunying's house are in full swing, let's take a look at the mother and son who were invited by Li Yinfeng to Baijiaji to see the doctor.
Li Yinfeng recognized Guan Ping, a poor student, and saw that Li Changhai, who can now be the master of the house, did not object, while writing a letter to send it to his home in Asahi City, and on the other hand, he diligently settled Guan Ping's mother and son in a small courtyard that was convenient to enter and exit and was not shabby.
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, Jia and Guan Ping are already in good health, as the host, Li Yinfeng can't find Li Changhai, who has not seen anyone since he came back from Lijia Village, so he took his own silver and let people set a good table at Zhenweiju, which can be regarded as giving Guan Ping's mother and son to go to bad luck.
In the past two years, the carriage and horse shop of the third young master of the Li family has been thriving with the help of the prefect of Asahi City. I heard that the Li family was going to have a banquet, so I deliberately reserved an elegant box on the second floor, and I personally greeted him in the lobby.
The first thing that appeared was a small maid named Xiaoma in the Li family who booked a seat, and behind her was Qiao Yuanhui supporting Li Yinfeng, and her luxurious dress made Li Yinfeng's original five-point color become eight-point, and Qiao Yuanhui, who was wearing a cyan maid's suit, was not so dazzling.
Shopkeeper Liu, who had seen the big scene, was not frightened by Li Yinfeng's momentum, politely saluted twice, and began to greet the guests beside the owner according to the custom. Oh no. Guan Xiucai. ”
Although the shopkeeper Liu called "Guan Xiucai" in his mouth, his eyes were unblinking to look at the middle-aged beauty who was supported by Guan Ping. God has been friends for many years, and this first meeting did not disappoint him.
Seeing these two people appear, Liu Da's shopkeeper subconsciously looked back, and gave Yun Ying three hundred taels of silver a few days ago, and he was still planning to go to see the situation after the big flood in Lijia Village, relying on the things provided by Yun Ying in the past few years. They cherish the dwelling, but they don't make less money.
But. I wasn't too disappointed not to see Yunying Liu, the shopkeeper, compared to a thirteen-year-old village girl, the lady Guan in front of him who was as graceful and calm as a mountain made him more interested.
"Mother, you haven't seen Uncle Liu yet, have you?" Guan Ping helped Jia Shi to the staircase. A little embarrassed. Jia's diarrhea was successfully stopped. But the pain in my knee seems to have returned to a few years ago, and I can't stand on my own at all.
Jia Shi calmly grabbed the handrail of the stairs and bowed slightly to Shopkeeper Liu: "The little woman is here to thank Shopkeeper Liu for taking care of the children everywhere in recent years. If he still has a good future, he will not forget the great kindness of the shopkeeper. ”
"Where, where? It is also necessary to make the son a talent. "What a shrewd person Liu Da shopkeeper, if you don't see Yun Ying, you won't mention it unfamiliarly. Seeing Guan Ping's movements, he remembered the investigation that Liu Er's shopkeeper had done, and immediately beckoned someone to carry a Taishi chair over, and after inviting Jia to sit down, he sent two Xiaoer to help carry him to the upstairs box.
After confessing the crime, the shopkeeper Liu ordered Xiao Er to serve the food, but he went downstairs and quietly stuffed a piece of silver in Xiao Ma's hand, and asked a few words in a low voice. I sat alone behind the counter for a long time, and suddenly walked to the back kitchen as if I had made a decision.
When he went to the back kitchen, he naturally looked for Liu Er's shopkeeper to talk about things, but the brothers didn't seem to have reached an agreement, he was pushed out of the back kitchen by Liu Er's shopkeeper, and was hated and scolded by Liu Er's shopkeeper: "You have really been in business for a long time, and you can't see the benefits at all." ”
Shopkeeper Liu doesn't think so, he thinks that he has a good eye for people, the Jia family is not an ordinary woman in the countryside at all, and looking at Li Yinfeng's earnest appearance, the Guan family and the Li family are afraid that they are going to have a relationship. Others are afraid that they don't know, but he knows that the Li family's business has begun to spread from Asahi City to the entire Tengyun Dynasty, if Guan Ping becomes the son-in-law of the Li family, I am afraid that the recipe of bean paste and Songhua preserved eggs will not be used.
Rather than handing over any benefits to the Li family at that time, it is better to give their family a big gift before Guan Ping is on the gold list. And Xiaoma just told him that all the fields belonging to the Guan family in Lijia Village were given to Yunying, and he bought the production in Yunying's fields in the future.
However, before he could talk to Guan Ping's mother and son about it, he was changed his mind by Qiao Yuanhui's words. When he turned around, Qiao Yuanhui was teaching Xiao Li a lesson, and he didn't hear much else, but he heard Qiao Yuanhui's earnest words: "If you want to please Mrs. Guan, it's best not to mention Tiaohua in front of them in the future." This time, Daddy Hua stole the money that Guan Gongzi went to Beijing to take the exam, do you really want to be a lady who is righteous and does not pursue it? It's just that there are some things buried in my heart that I don't dare to say. ”
Later, Qiao Yuanhui also said something to Xiaoli, and the shopkeeper Liu didn't know, he just silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly blamed himself for not being a teenage girl. Indeed, if the Jia family really doesn't care, then why bother to drive Yun Ying out of the house and take her by her side to be a concubine for her son? It's really hard to want benefits and favors in all aspects.
Yun Ying didn't know that there was such a small episode in Zhenwei Curie, three days was enough for her to clean up the corn in the field and the sweet potatoes and peppers on the west mountain to dry in Qiao's family's small yard. But it's not a way to bask in the sun like this, and if it rains again, these things will be ruined.
Now the water level of the Anlan River has dropped a lot, and at Hu San's suggestion, the people in the village have widened the river, and ox carts and horse-drawn carts can directly cross the river from the river, which greatly alleviates the difficulty of not being able to cross the bridge. The matter of building a house was taken over by Hu San, and Yun Ying took Qiao Qi's carriage to Baijiaji.
She hadn't come to Zhenweiju for many days, and Yun Ying felt that the shopkeeper here looked at her with a strange look in her eyes.
"Brother Qiu, is Uncle Liu here?"
In the past two years, Yun Ying has become accustomed to first talking to Liu Da's shopkeeper about business, and then to Liu Er's shopkeeper to talk about flowers and plants. But today, after she asked the first sentence, the shopkeeper in the lobby did not answer her question directly, but asked: "What are you looking for the shopkeeper for?" ”
Yun Ying was thinking about buying 600 catties of sweet potatoes at home, plus the planting method and eating recipe, it should be worth the 300 taels of silver advanced by Liu Da's shopkeeper a few days ago. I didn't notice the strange look of the shopkeeper for a while, and replied casually: "I'll deliver the goods to you." ”
"The big shopkeeper is not here, and we are not out of stock."
The quick response of Xiao Er of the shop surnamed Qiu made Yun Ying's hand on the table soothe, the basket was filled with salted duck eggs that she had specially soaked, and the salted duck eggs soaked with several kinds of medicinal herbs tasted better than those made by the locals, I don't know how many times better they tasted, thinking that they always took advantage of the two shopkeepers of the Liu family, Yun Ying specially brought them for the two to taste.
But now, the shopkeeper categorically refused without asking a word, and made up for the sentence "The shopkeeper is not there". Yun Ying came back to her senses and stared at the weak-hearted shopkeeper twice, mumbled, turned out of the main door with the basket, raised her feet and walked to the back door, she wanted to find the more straightforward shopkeeper Liu Er to ask about the situation.
Yun Ying came just in time, not only was Liu Er's shopkeeper in the back kitchen yard, but Liu Da's shopkeeper himself was also there, and he immediately exposed the lie of Xiao Er in the front hall.
What's even more coincidental is that as soon as Yun Ying arrived, she heard Liu Er's shopkeeper shouting at the top of his voice: "If you want to hide from Yun Ying's girl, you can hide from you, what do you care about me?" You want to please Brother Guan's mother, what is the conflict between I like and Yunying's old friend? ”
Hearing this, Yun Ying subconsciously stopped, and vaguely knew the reason why Xiao Er's expression was different in the front hall. She also wanted to know that the shopkeeper Liu was just hiding from herself, why did she force the shopkeeper Liu Er to ignore herself?
Soon, the shopkeeper Liu inside was still slow and gentle, and his voice sounded calmly: "I don't want you to break off your friendship with that girl, isn't this in a hurry that I want to talk about the secret recipe of bean paste and pine flower preserved eggs first?" Do you think the mother and son of the Guan family seem to be people who have been in Baijiaji for a long time? After this is over, let's help the little girl Yunying, okay? ”
Hearing this, Yun Ying didn't plan to continue eavesdropping, it was a coincidence to inadvertently eavesdrop on one or two sentences, and it became deliberate to keep listening, she didn't like it. After straightening his expression, he put the basket containing duck eggs outside the door, pushed the door in and interrupted Liu Er's shopkeeper's rebuttal that he wanted to exit, and calmly saluted to Liu Da's shopkeeper: "Uncle Liu is too worried, Yunying has grown up and can support herself, and she doesn't need anyone to help her." However, the three hundred taels of silver advanced from you a few days ago have now been almost spent, so may I delay a while and find a buyer to sell the sweet potatoes and return them to you?" ”
was caught squarely, Rao is shopkeeper Liu Da felt that his face was hot after a long time, not to mention the straightforward shopkeeper Liu Er, so he immediately stiffened his neck and said loudly: "What else?" You must have never seen the money. If you don't find someone to buy your sweet potatoes, just send them to Uncle Liu, I will buy them for you out of my own pocket. ”
"Thank you, Second Uncle Liu, but Yun Ying has self-knowledge, so I won't embarrass you. I'll have someone deliver the silver to Zhenwei Ju another day. Yun Ying is not a pure clay sculpture bodhisattva, she knows that the Jia family has no secret recipe at all, and she doesn't refute it at all after hearing the misunderstanding of the shopkeeper Liu, if it weren't for the fact that she still has some true feelings when she listens to the shopkeeper Liu, she is too lazy to say so much, let them go to the Jia family to buy the secret recipe. This year's bean paste has not yet been made, and the Baijiaji place is too small, so it seems that we have to go to a bigger place to seek partners.
Out of Zhenwei Residence, Yun Ying carried a basket of salted duck eggs and didn't know where to go for a while, and walked aimlessly through the street, wanting to think calmly by walking.
At this moment, there was a call of surprise from opposite her. (To be continued......)
