72. Green onions are white and green

Zhan Liantai stared at Mo Cui in his palm in a daze.

Recalling that he went to Jianing County to find people to no avail, he thought that this incident would be regretted for the rest of his life, but he never thought that he would recall the past today, and he felt that he was destined in the dark.

In twenty years, he has grown so big.

Zhan Liantai thought about the situation when he first saw Miao Fan, the rain in Jiangzhou Gongyuan hit the plantain, and the weak-crowned young man who walked in was calm and calm. At that time, he felt that Miao Fan was different and would become a great weapon in the future.

See you again for the second time, see you again for the third time...... Every time Miao Fan is impressive, he always reminds Zhan Liantai of himself when he was young.

Zhan Liantai grabbed the pendant and buried his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and a suppressed whisper overflowed from his throat, like crying and laughing.

"Uh......"

Qianqian on the bed woke up and found herself sleeping in a strange room, while Zhan Liantai stood by the window and stared out, she saw the corners of his lips slightly raised.

He heard the voice and looked back: "Awake? ”

She sat up with a dull pain in her back, and she rubbed her head and asked him, "Where am I?" ”

"My private home. You fell off your horse, and I'll take you here to rest. Zhan Liantai poured her a glass of warm water, "Are you better?" ”

Qianqian did not reach out to take it, but vigilantly touched the clothes on her body.

Seeing this, Zhan Liantai joked: "What, are you afraid that I will rob you?" ”

"Who knows, did you take advantage of me to faint and do something to me!" Qianqian hugged her chest and glared at him angrily, "Dare to take advantage of me, I will abolish you!" ”

Zhan Liantai didn't care about her, and spread his palm and handed over the Mo Cui pendant: "Return you." ”

Qianqian hurriedly grabbed it and tied it around his neck, and asked him suspiciously, "Why are you taking my pendant?" ”

"It fell out on its own." He lied without blushing and heartbeat, and then asked knowingly, "The pendant was given to you by Tan Miaofan, right?" ”

Even if he was already sure, he still wanted to confirm it for himself.

Qianqiannuzui: "I won't tell you." ”

Her gentle and graceful appearance when she stroked the pendant, and her smile was sweet, which convinced him that his guess was not wrong.

Zhan Liantai tried his best to suppress the surging in his heart, drank tea to hide his excitement, and asked lightly: "The trial is imminent, is Tan Gongzi sure?" ”

Qianqian didn't want to lose the battle in front of him, and held his head proud: "Of course you are sure, the champion is none other than my father-in-law!" ”

Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, and said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

"Don't believe it, be careful when the time comes, your eyes will fall out in fear!" Qianqian got up from the bed and made a gesture to leave. Zhan Liantai also stood up, causing her to look sideways.

"What are you doing?"

He said as a matter of course: "Send you back." ”

"I don't want you to send it." Qianqian raised her hand to block him, "Don't follow me, I don't want the little monk to see you." ”

He raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”

She held her face and grinned, sighing on the surface, but she was actually overjoyed: "Alas, who told me to marry a vinegar jar?" He will be jealous when he sees me with other men, and if he is jealous, he will not be happy, and if he is not happy, he will not be able to study, and if he is not good at studying, he will not be able to pass the exam...... You are not allowed to follow me, otherwise it will ruin his mood, and if something goes wrong, you will only ask. ”

"Strong words." Zhan Liantai shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand generously, "Let's go, let's go, let's make an appointment next time." ”

She turned back as she walked and stuck out her tongue at him: "I won't make an appointment with you next time, and I will fall off the horse, uncle, you will hurt me!" ”

Zhan Liantai stood straight, watching her go away, suddenly remembered something, and called out to her: "Xiao Yu'er, Zhou Tao is also going to participate in the examination, with Zhou Xiang's power, he will definitely enter the top three." ”

Qianqian looked back: "What do you mean...... Champion Bureau, we want to add him? ”

"I'm just reminding you that if Zhou Tao and Tan Gongzi become colleagues in the future, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Zhan Liantai lowered his eyebrows and stroked the fan spike on his waist, "If you are afraid of trouble, we will get rid of Zhou Tao as soon as possible and never suffer in the future." ”

……

Qianqian was not as nervous as Qiu Yu when he tried it, so he still took care of everything Miao Fan needed in the Gongyuan, and after sending him in, he turned around and planned to go home.

Unexpectedly, the road was narrow, and he met Zhou Tao head-on.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Zhou Tao had a surprise smile on his face, lifted the corners of his robe and hurriedly squeezed into the tribute courtyard, apparently wanting to chase someone.

"Huh." Qianqian hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, took a big step to the side, and blocked in front of him.

"Gongzi Zhou, where are you going in such a hurry?" She smiled like a flower, deliberately obstructing Zhou Tao's footsteps, "Walk carefully and beware of wrestling." ”

Zhou Tao didn't want to deal with her, and he stepped up to get around her, but when he went to the left, she went to the left, and he went to the right and she went to the right, so angry that he stomped his feet: "What are you doing?!" ”

Qianqian took out her handkerchief and waved it, and said innocently: "I'm walking, I'm sorry, the road is too narrow." ”

Zhou Tao hated her: "You have a heart!" ”

"Of course, people are sincere, and I sincerely congratulate you on high school." Qianqian's hands were on his waist, and he blessed his body, "The slave family has given you a salute, Lord Zhuangyuan." ”

Zhou Tao was stunned: "...... What champion? ”

Qianqian covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh, you still don't know what to do?" This time the examination has already determined that you are the top of the list, and in the palace examination after that, depending on the relationship between Lord Xiangye and the emperor, the champion is none other than you. Zhou Gongzi, don't be modest, oh it's wrong, you should be called the champion. ”

When Zhou Tao heard this, his face turned blue and white, and he looked very angry. He squeezed a few words out between his teeth: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"No one needs to say it, it's all spread outside." Qianqian shrugged her shoulders and looked dazed, "There are the most people in the casino who buy you as the champion, and everyone knows it, so why should you pretend to be confused." ”

Zhou Tao looked ashamed and humiliated, stomped his feet and shook his hands with hatred, and shouted, "Don't take the test!" So he went in the opposite direction, burying his head in anger.

"Young Master, where are you going? It's time for the exams to begin! The house slave with the luggage hurriedly chased after him.

Qianqian smiled and looked at Zhou Tao, who was getting farther and farther away, and saw that he kicked down the house slave kneeling in front of him in anger, and then walked away without looking back, and soon disappeared.

"If you don't take the exam, you can't go to high school, and if you can't go to high school, you can't be an official, look at how you can be a colleague with the little monk!" She walked much more briskly, and even hummed a little song, "Lalala...... Dare to fight my father-in-law's idea, come and kill one by one, come and kill a pair of pairs, hum! ”

At the end of the test, Qianqian went to the Gongyuan to pick up Miao Fan, and he waited for a long time before he came out, and she hurriedly greeted him.

Miao Fan bowed his head slightly, looking like he had something on his mind.

Qianqian's heart "chuckled", and carefully went up and grabbed his sleeve: "Xianggong...... You're all right, are you? ”

Why is it like this every time I take the exam? Don't be scary!

Qianqian tried to think about whether she had done anything bad recently, and she didn't want to feel it, but when she thought about it, she felt that things were not good, and she became more and more panicked.

"Qianqian." Miao Fan called her seriously, she was so frightened that her legs were weak and she almost fell down, barely supporting herself and asking, "What's the ...... How? ”

Miao Fan frowned suspiciously: "You-"

Qianqian immediately pinched her ears, and tears quickly filled up in her eyes: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do bad things in the future......"

His brow furrowed violently: "What bad things have you done?" Well, let's not mention this yet, I have other things to ask you. ”

She only felt that her heart was beating fast and was about to jump out of her throat, and she swallowed hard: "Shishsh...... What's the matter? ”

"Did you threaten Lord Zhan?" Miao Fan tightened the corners of his mouth with a serious expression.

Huh? Qianqian didn't know why: "No." ”

"No?" He will be suspicious, "Coercion and inducement, which one do you use?" ”

She blinked, becoming more and more confused: "What is the coercion and temptation of him?" I don't! ”

It was she who was coerced and seduced by Zhan Liantai!

"Then why did he ......" Miao Fan muttered to himself, shaking his head and sighing, looking distressed that he couldn't understand. After a while, he raised his eyes, "Master Zhan came to me to say something, and listening to his tone, I seem to be able to go to high school." I thought you were doing it again. ”

Qianqian also wondered: "He is looking for you?" Say you're going to be able to go to high school? ”

Miao Fan saw that she also had a confused expression, so she dispelled her doubts and took her hand: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe Master Zhan just encouraged me." Let's go, go home. ”

Qianqian snuggled him affectionately and walked home, puzzled along the way: Zhan Liantai is not a little strange.

The results were released half a month after the exam, and all the candidates were waiting for news in Beijing. It coincides with the arrival of winter and spring, and the green willows on both sides of the river embankment have just budded, and the spring breeze is expected to be unique, so the family is ready to go out. Considering that the tastes of the family are inconsistent, Xiaohe plans to cook vegetarian cakes and cook a few more lo-mei.

"I'm!"

Just as Qianqian was happily packing up her baggage, Xiaohe came back from the vegetable market empty-handed, and threw the empty basket on the ground in a huff.

Seeing this, Ah Piao asked, "What's wrong?" My purse was stolen and I didn't buy vegetables? ”

"Nope!" Xiaohe untied the purse around his waist and put it on the table angrily, "Let's drink the northwest wind, the dishes will be bought out by the surname Zhou!" ”

"Which surname is Zhou?"

"Who else! The one who is one year older than Banzai! ”

Qian Qianyi heard that it was related to Zhou Xiang, put down the things in his hand and leaned over: "What's the matter?" ”

Approaching the trial list, the Zhou Mansion is preparing a feast to celebrate Zhou Tao, it is said that it is still a flowing water banquet, which will be placed for three days and three nights. Therefore, the Zhou Mansion almost set all the raw meat shops in the whole Beijing Division, how many cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are wanted, and at the same time, the Zhou Mansion also said that the vegetables should be collected, no matter what the dishes are, as long as they pick the back door of the Zhou Mansion, they will buy as much as they come. As a result, the farmers all rushed to the Zhou Mansion with vegetables, and the long queue formed a dragon, making the vegetable market very serious, and there were very few.

Such a extravagant and fanfare style provoked Ah Piao to smack his tongue again and again: "How many people are the Zhou family going to invite to eat for three days and three nights?" ”

Xiao He exclaimed angrily: "Who knows, so many things are enough for the people of the entire Beijing Division to eat for three days!" ”

"Don't be angry, if this vegetable market doesn't work, let's go to something else, I still don't believe it, can his Zhou family buy all the vegetables in the whole Beijing Division? What does the emperor eat? Ah Piao comforted Xiaohe in a different way.

"It's not like that now, except for the dishes sent to the palace, you can't buy them anywhere else." Xiaohe sighed very frustrated, "Even if you can buy it, it's ridiculously expensive, just now I met a man who sells green onions carrying a burden, and I thought that it really can't be done, let's eat green onion dipping sauce for two days, so I stopped him and asked for the price." Guess how much a pound is? Twenty texts! Usually, you can buy a bundle of copper plates, and such a sky-high asking price is simply a robber robber! ”

Xiaohe chattered and complained, but Qianqian listened to it but thoughtfully.

"Didn't Zhou Tao fail the test? How could you be ......?"

Seeing her talking to herself, Miao Fan leaned closer and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"No, no, I mean the surname Zhou is too hateful." Qianqian denied it, and sighed in her heart. Who called Zhou Tao's father is the prime minister who covers the sky with one hand, even if he really didn't take the test, others have a way to let him "pass the test", and even make a flawless answer sheet.

She picked up the basket and got up, and went to call Xiaohe: "Go, go grocery shopping." ”

Xiaohe frowned sadly: "The girl who can't buy it, I can understand what it means to be a good woman and cook without rice." ”

"You're a clever woman, stupid girl." Qianqian dragged her away, smiling, "I'm afraid I won't be able to buy anything after me?" ”

Xiaohe stumbled and followed her out of the door: "Where are we going to buy ......?"

"Wherever you have the most food, you can go there!"

When the two arrived at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they found that it was indeed crowded, and the farmers were lining up with their burdens, waiting for the steward of the Zhou Mansion to come out to buy.

Qianqian stepped forward to ask the price, and many people disdained to take it, because it is said that the prime minister's mansion not only collected it all, but also gave a high price.

"Girl, girl, that's the one who sells green onions." Xiaohe pulled Qianqian's fingers to show her, "He asked for a price all over the sky, and sneered at me, saying that we ordinary people will not become smart after eating green onions, where is like the son of someone else's prime minister, it is easy to be admitted to the Jinshi." ”

"Damn! Is this a farmer? What a dog's eyes look low and dirty! Qianqian grinded his teeth and said hatefully, "What kind of thing is Zhou Tao, my little monk is the smartest!" ”

Xiaohe shook his head: "I don't think he's like an honest farmer, I heard that some traders went to the farmer to collect vegetables and brought them to the prime minister's house, and they made a lot of money by selling them." ”

When Qianqian heard this, she walked over gracefully with her handkerchief twisted.

"Big brother, how do you sell green onions?" She walked up to the onion seller and asked for the price.

The green onion seller glanced at her, and ignored her: "Twenty Wen." ”

"Okay, I'll have it all." Unexpectedly, Qianqian readily agreed, and made a gesture to pay for the silver.

The green onion seller was taken aback: "Really? I have two hundred pounds of onions! ”

Qianqian smiled sweetly: "Yes, my family is sick, and I want to boil water with green onions." Oh yes, it's useless to have green onions, so I can only throw them away, can I just buy green onions? ”

The green onion seller rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and said: "Don't make trouble, you only buy green onions, who will I sell green onions to?" If you want to buy it, buy it together, and don't buy it and pull it down. ”

"This ......" At this time, Qianqian gave Xiaohe a look, Xiaohe came up and asked the price, but the onion seller didn't recognize her, and opened his mouth and shouted twenty wen

"Little sister, what are you going to do when you buy green onions?" Qianqian pretended to ask Xiaohe.

Xiaohe said: "Pancakes make buns." ”

Qianqian asked again: "Is it delicious to make steamed buns with green onions or green onions?" ”

Xiao He thought for a while and replied, "Green onions are better than white onions." ”

"That's good." Qianqian stroked her palms and smiled, and discussed with the green onion seller, "Big brother, do you think this is good?" I bought green onions with her and one bought green onions, and the green onions were ten wen and green were also ten, adding up to twenty wen. If it's okay, you can cut it, I'll take the green onion white, and she will take the green onion. ”

Selling green onions is right, it is rare to have such a wronged boss willing to pay, so he readily got all the green onions into two, and then weighed them separately.

"Eighty pounds of green onions, one hundred and twenty pounds of green onions."

Qianqian quickly calculated the price: "The green onion and white ten wen have a total of eighty catties, that is, eight hundred wen, and the green onion ten ten hundred and twenty catties, that is, one thousand two hundred wen." She gave the man a piece of silver, and Xiaohe also counted one or two taels of silver to him.

The green onion seller had no objection to receiving the money, and left with an empty burden, leaving Qianqian and Xiaohe to cover their mouths and laugh in place, with two large bundles of green onions at their feet.

After a while, the steward of the Xiangfu who collected vegetables came out, and when he saw the green onions of the two of them, he said that he wanted to buy them and asked how much the price was.

Qianqian stretched out two fingers: "Twenty wen a catty, a total of two hundred catties." Receive four taels of silver. ”

The steward crackled and calculated with the abacus, and really didn't bargain, called someone to move the two bundles of green onions, and settled the money on the spot and gave it to Qianqian.

The person next to him saw it and said, "Little girl, you bought 20 yuan and sold 20 yuan, you spent your efforts in vain, and you didn't make a penny." ”

Qianqian pinched the silver and raised her eyebrows: "Who said I didn't make money?" The others scratched their heads and didn't understand, but she giggled and put away the money contentedly.

"Stop!"

She and Xiaohe were just about to leave, but Zhou Tao came out of nowhere, grabbed her hand, and stammered angrily: "You, you...... Swindler! ”

The author has something to say: the cat was broken by thunder a few days ago, and today I went to buy a new cat and installed it, and the network was restored. It's not like I didn't want to update~

This is a classic scam, right? I remember the first time I saw this scam, and I couldn't understand it! Uncle Wine's IQ is really clumsy!

Here 1 tael = 1000 wen.
