Before leaving the Treasury Department, Qin Xiao replaced his official uniform with a cloth coat.

Qin Xiao only felt that the cloth clothes were far more comfortable than the official clothes on his body, and he thought about entrusting Qiu Niang to help him buy a house, but he didn't know how things were going.

The courtyard door of the Gu family was closed, Qin Xiao knocked on the door, no one inside answered, at this time in the past, Qiu Niang and Qin Xiao had already gone home, and found that the door inside was also closed through the crack in the door, and he was curious, and when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, he heard Qiu Niang's voice and said: "This way, over here." ”

Qin Xiao turned his head, only to see Qiu Niang standing behind the door beckoning to him, a little surprised, leading the horse over, Qiu Niang opened the courtyard door, this is the courtyard of the fat woman before, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu Niang, she agreed?" ”

"I found her early in the morning, she asked for fifteen taels of silver, and I returned the price of one or two silver, but the long-tongued woman was broken, and I found someone to clean it up in the morning, and there were few things at home, so I moved away after lunch." Qiu Niang said: "She will find a place to live temporarily, and fourteen taels of silver can buy a larger yard in this Wuyi Fang." In the afternoon, I spent two dollars to find a few neighbors and asked them to help clean up the house, and I know you don't like those old things, so some things that are not needed are cleaned out. ”

Qin Xiao walked into the house, only to see that the room was very empty, there was a small table, two chairs, and a few small stools in the main hall, the room on the left was empty, and there was a wooden bed on the right, but a new bed of cotton wool was placed on it.

This house is a little bigger than the Gu family, but the style is about the same, and the inside and outside of the house are cleaned.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Qiu Niang had done this neatly.

"I don't know what you want, but you always need a futon to sleep at night." Qiu Niang followed behind Qin Xiao and explained: "So I took it upon myself to buy you a futon and lay it for you later." ”

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I knew that this matter must be handled properly by Qiu Niang." ”

Qiu Niang smiled, Qin Xiao gave her a pleasure boat, nominally it was borrowed, but Qiu Niang knew that it was actually a gift, and she always wanted to do something for Qin Xiao, this time Qin Xiao asked her to help buy a house, she was naturally doing her best, the so-called money can make the ghost grind, and with a hundred taels of silver in her hand, this thing was naturally done smoothly.

"Here's what's left." Qiu Niang handed the money bag to Qin Xiao, and calculated carefully: "I exchanged your one hundred taels of silver tickets in cash, and it cost fourteen taels to buy a house, and I asked someone to help clean up the .....!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiao had already returned the money bag and said, "You don't need to settle accounts for the time being, there are still a lot of things I want you to help with." Sister Qiu Niang, you look at Wuyifang, you look at what is missing in the house, help me buy it back, what wardrobes, desks, and pots and pans, make this house really feel like a home. Also, if you help me with my errands, I will delay the ship, and my wages will be deducted from this. ”

"Don't get paid." Qiu Niang smiled, with shallow dimples on her cheeks, delicate and moving: "But what you said is right, you are a man, you really don't understand what to use at home." He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, my sister will help you think about these things, but if things are expensive when the time comes, don't blame me." ”

"You know I'm not that kind of person." Qin Xiao smiled, and Qiu Niang also smiled: "I'm joking with you." You've just gotten off duty, so let's rest first, and I'll help you with the bedding

Paved. ”

Qiu Niang walked over, first laid out the mats, knelt on the bed, smoothed the sheets, Qin Xiao stood behind and watched, only to feel that such a scene was really warm and abnormal, since she can remember, no one has helped her make the mattress.

When he lived with the old man, he did everything in life by himself, and the old man Zhong did not work together, and when he was in Turtle City, he lived alone.

Looking at Qiu Niang's appearance, Qin Xiao's heart was warm.

It's just that he was quickly startled and turned his face away.

It turned out that when Qiu Niang knelt on the bed and smoothed the sheets, the skirt wrapped in beautiful round buttocks immediately tightened, forming a full and round silhouette, Qin Xiao stood behind, naturally he could see it clearly, his heart was beating rapidly, and he didn't dare to look more.

When Qiu Niang laid out the sheets and futon and turned around, she saw that Qin Xiao was already standing at the window looking outside, and naturally she didn't know that the beautiful scene she had just seen was seen by Qin Xiao, so she came over and asked, "Do you know how to cook by yourself?" Their iron pot can still be used, but they just have to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and the like, which are sold nearby. ”

"If you can't, you have to learn to do it." Qin Xiao sighed: "I can't go to your side every day to eat. ”

Qiu Niang smiled and joked: "You are a rich man, you can buy a maid to do your laundry and cook." ”

"I'm a little order, where do I dare to buy a girl." Qin Xiao smiled: "I can only wait for any girl to look at me in the future, if I am willing to marry in, I can let her help me with laundry and cooking." ”

Qiu Niang blinked her eyes and said: "I also know some girls who have not been out of the cabinet in this Wuyi Fang, if you are not an official, my sister can really be a matchmaker for you, but you are now a seven-rank official, and ordinary girls are naturally not worthy of you." ”

"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang's charming face, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Qiu Niang, do you really want to help me be a matchmaker?" ”

Qiu Niang suddenly became interested, and said: "Then what kind of girl do you say, I'll help you find out, Kyoto City is so big, you can always find a suitable girl." ”

"This ......!" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I can say it, but if I say it, don't scold me." ”

"What are you scolding for?" Qiu Niang was puzzled: "Actually, at your age, you can really get married." How many times have I told our family Baiyi to let him get married as soon as possible, as long as he is willing, I will help him find a suitable girl, but other things are fine, as soon as he talks about this, he said that he can't even support himself, how can he marry a daughter-in-law? Anyway, I don't care about him, and in a few years, I see which girl is willing to marry him. ”

Qin Xiao smiled: "Sister Qiu Niang, you are really worried about this. No matter how good Mr. Gu is, whether he looks or has knowledge, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, and if such a person wants to marry, the girls in Kyoto City have to line up for him to choose. ”

"Just you can talk." Qiu Niang smiled, Qin Xiao praised Gu Baiyi, and she was naturally happy as an older sister.

"By the way, why hasn't Brother Gu come back today?"

"There must be something temporary in the yamen." Qiu Niang said: "Don't worry, he is such an adult, he knows how to take care of himself." Come, tell me, what kind of girl you like, I'll keep it in mind for you, and I have the right one to help you say. ”

Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang's beautiful big eyes, and finally said, "Yes."

Is there a hard-working and virtuous girl like Sister Qiu Niang? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, there is no girl from the people's family who is not diligent." Qiu Niang smiled: "You only said what kind of appearance you like, is it a long face or a round face, is it smaller or more slender?" ”

Qin Xiao took two steps back, looked Qiu Niang up and down, Qiu Niang was a little puzzled, looked down, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Just like Sister Qiu Niang." Qin Xiao held his chin with his left hand and said, "If you can find a figure like Sister Qiu Niang, who looks similar to you, if the personality is the same as you, it will be perfect." ”

Qiu Niang was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned red, and she glared at Qin Xiao, she had also seen the world, unlike the little girl's family who was at a loss, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?" If you talk nonsense like this, I won't be able to spare you. ”

"I said you don't scold me, I wouldn't have said it if I knew it." Qin Xiao sighed: "You asked me to say again, I can't lie to you, I can only say what is in my heart." It turns out that sometimes you can't just say what you want to say. ”

Qiu Niang said angrily: "Of course you can't talk nonsense about these nonsense." Rest by yourself, I'll go back. When he walked past Qin Xiao, he glared again.

Before he walked out of the door, Qin Xiao had already shouted: "By the way, Sister Qiu Niang, have you forgotten what you said last time?" ”

Qiu Niang turned her head and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sister Hui's business." Qin Xiao walked over and said, "Didn't you say that Sister Hui's mansion is haunted?" How is she doing now? ”

Qiu Niang said "oops" and said, "Yesterday I originally planned to go over and see it today, didn't I forget about your business?" It's getting late, I can't go today, I'll go over tomorrow and see. He blinked his eyes and asked softly, "Qin Xiao, do you really know how to catch ghosts?" ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, can you change your name?" Qin Xiao said with a bitter face.

"Do you want me to call you a commander?" Qiu Niang and Qin Xiao are already very familiar with each other, and they know that Qin Xiao treats people easily, and there is no official frame at all: "Okay, I will call you Lord Lingyi in the future." ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "If you want to call me that, you should simply call me Qin Xiao." I feel that I may not often go to your side to eat in the future, everyone is also a family, just call me little brother, you have the younger brother of Brother Gu, and it is not too much for me to be a little brother. ”

"There are also people who take the initiative to recognize their sister." Qiu Niang sneered: "I can tell you, it's okay to rub rice in the future, but remember to pay for food every month, our family is very poor, you, a rich man, can't eat white food." ”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I want to eat, and I will cover all the money for the dishes." ”

"That's good." Qiu Niang smiled, and then sighed: "I'll go to see Sister Hui tomorrow, and tell her that you can find someone to help her catch ghosts, if she agrees, you can go and see it again." Nothing else, I'll go first. ”

Qin Xiao said: "Does the matter of finding a daughter-in-law count?" Looking for a ..... like you 1”

"Get out!" Qiu Niang scolded in a low voice, didn't say much, twisted her waist and left, Qin Xiao looked at her beautiful back, swaying, but there was a ripple in her heart, but she knew that laughing with Qiu Niang could only be done in moderation, if it was too much, Qiu Niang thought that she was frivolous, and it would be difficult for everyone to meet in the future.
