Chapter 174: Clear-eyed man

"What the hell is going on? Didn't he do you a hard job with that wicked man? ”

The maid bent down to help Wei Yingluo untie the rope and said, "Master Hou just likes to joke, in fact, he is a very good person." He brought us over, first asked Mrs. Peony to arrange a tailor and tailor-made clothes for the children, and asked the man named Ergou to go to the West Market to buy shoes for the children. Now the children are placed in the empty shop in Jingdongji, Hou Ye said, tomorrow I will find a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry to repair the original yard, repair it, and then let the children go back to live. ”

Wei Yingluo didn't believe it, and said, "He would have such a good heart?" ”

"Really, the kids are eating outside. Hou Ye asked Wang Po to steam steamed steamed buns and killed a sheep, didn't Miss smell the fragrance? ”

Wei Yingluo was nervous just now, how could she have time to smell the smell, hearing what the maid said, she choked her nose and sniffed, it was really the smell of mutton. Wei Zheng is notoriously poor, and when he doesn't celebrate the holidays, his house can't get meat at all, although Wei Yingluo is a lady, but what she usually eats is not much different from the ordinary people.

Of course, the maid knew about her situation, and said, "Miss, I have eaten and left you a bowl." ”

Wei Yingluo blushed a little and said, "Whoever wants to eat his things, I won't eat his things!" ”

The maid teased, "Yo yo...... Miss, why did you suddenly become 'him' when you called someone a wicked person just now? ”

Wei Yingluo hurriedly explained, "Don't think nonsense, I'...... Between me and him...... Nothing! I won't take his kindness, besides, what use can he just take care of this meal? I'm afraid that the children will eat mutton and won't be able to drink porridge anymore, which will harm them. ”

The maid sighed and said, "My young lady, this is your fault. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm not speaking for Master Hou, but Miss, you think too badly of people. Do you know what Hou Ye has done for you? I also just knew, half of it was from Xiaoshi, and half of it was when I was helping Wang Po steam steamed buns, and I listened to her mutter. At noon, Xiaoshi and they followed Wang Po to ask for something to eat, but Wang Po didn't give it, it was Hou Ye who asked Wang Po to give steamed buns, and Xiao Shi was grateful to him, so he gave him half of the candied fruit that he hid. Hou Ye recognized that this candied fruit was given by you, and asked the one named Ergou to follow Xiaoshi and find us. Seeing that there were so many children who could only drink porridge to survive, and not they could drink porridge every day, Hou Ye couldn't bear it, so he asked people to bring the children over. He didn't just take care of this one, but he also took care of everything in the future. ”

"What does he do? Pay? Without waiting for the maid to reply, Wei Yingluo replied by herself: "Yes, he is so rich, raising these children, but it is just a drop in the bucket." ”

"No, it's not." The maid said: "Master Hou said, no one in this world can get something for nothing. Today is his treat, and from tomorrow onwards, only those who work will have steamed buns to eat. Although the children are small, they have hands and feet, and at least they can run errands and help carry things. I really can't do anything, and I can sweep the floor with a broom. He also said that people who are waiting to be fed with their necks on their necks do not deserve mercy. He can take care of the food, but he doesn't care about the lazy people's food. ”

After listening to the maid's words, and thinking of Li Mu's appearance just now, Wei Yingluo was completely confused, and muttered, "Yes, is that so?" ”

"yes!" The maid smiled and said, "Master Hou just likes to play tricks on people......" As she said, she glanced at Wei Yingluo and said, "I don't know why, I especially like to tease you, Miss." ”

"Phew!" Wei Yingluo's face was flushed, and she said, "You dead girl, a bowl of mutton will buy you out." He...... He did this, which can only show that he has a clear conscience and is still a little human, what does it have to do with me! ”

"Good, good!" The maid put away the leftover sauce meat and wine jug that Li Mu had eaten, and said, "Now, my eldest lady, it's not early, do you want to eat something, we have to go home." ”

"I ......" Wei Yingluo wanted to say no, but her stomach screamed uncontrollably. She followed the maid to the door, still a little trembling in her heart, worried about seeing Li Mu. According to her imagination in her heart, Li Mu would definitely be at the door, waiting for her to see her jokes after she knew the truth of the matter.

But when she came out, all she saw was the children, no Li Mu, no big man, and no masked Dugu Jiu who knocked her unconscious.

Wei Yingluo saw the small stone grasping a bone and gnawing on it, and hurriedly asked, "That evil ...... What about Hou and Hou Ye? ”

"He's gone!" Xiao Shi ate meat for the first time, and he refused to stop for a moment, if Wei Yingluo hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have paid attention to it at all.

"He's just gone?"

"Hmm......" Xiao Shi thought for a while and said, "Ah, I remembered, he asked me to help him bring you a word." ”

Wei Yingluo hurriedly asked, "What words?" ”

He said, don't be grateful to him. He was a dehumanized man. Xiao Shi wondered: "I think Master Hou is very good, how can he be a person without humanity, hum!" To say that he is a person without humanity is a person without humanity! ”

Wei Yingluo's face turned red!

But she was inexplicably relieved, if Li Mu didn't leave this sentence, she would be uneasy.

This is him, the unforgiving guy.

At this time, the maid brought her mutton soup, and Wei Yingluo took it and sat next to the small stone. She left only a few pieces of meat, most of which were distributed among the children next to her.

Wang and Bai Nao'er stood at the back door of the grocery store and watched, and Wang said worriedly: "Old man, this girl is strangely good-looking." ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Hao'er didn't understand the meaning and asked, "What's so good-looking?" ”

"Silly!" Wang glared at Bai Nao'er and said in a low voice: "I think your good son-in-law is very fond of her." If you take her as a concubine, your girl is stupid, and she won't be swallowed by others? ”

"You're stupid, aren't you?" Bai Hao'er scolded back, scolded Wang a little confused, and said, "You old immortal, scold me?" ”

"I'm scolding you!" Bai Hao'er pulled Wang aside and said, "Don't you understand it now?" What is this, that, which one is better than our girl? My son-in-law, if he hadn't loved my daughter so much, would have spent so much effort on me? Not to mention the money and land, but also to take the part of the horse farm, and give me the official to change. Do you know how much this officer is worth? Let me tell you, I inquired! It scares you to death when you say it, just counting the members of the horse farm, it is thousands of times a month, tens of thousands of times a year, how much is it in a lifetime? ”

Wang's eyes widened in fright, and he said, "That, isn't that hundreds of thousands of ......?"

"That's right!" Bai Hao'er nodded heavily and said, "The virtuous son-in-law is willing to spend so much money to change this official for me, is it for my sake?" You and I both know in our hearts how we used to treat him. He didn't care about his past suspicions, and it wasn't because of my daughter. You dare to say that my daughter is stupid, you didn't let my son-in-law hear this, if he heard it. Hum! You're not far from death! ”

"Oh, don't you say anything!" Wang was so frightened that he was about to cry, hugging Bai Nao'er's thighs, trembling all over his body and said: "I'm unintentional, I'm really unintentional, I'm worried that our daughter will suffer a loss, so I ......" Saying that, Wang suddenly slapped himself a few times and scolded: "Let's go!" I have a stinky mouth, I promise not to say it in the future, if I say bad things about our daughter again, I won't die well! ”

"Okay, there's no outsider." Bai Nao'er still felt a little sorry for her mother-in-law, stretched out her hand to stop her, glanced at the backyard, and said, "You, you just don't know anything." Like today, you are still arguing with your virtuous son-in-law. What am you, what am I? Our entire Bai family, don't we all live with the little thing that leaks out of the virtuous son-in-law's hand? What the son-in-law wants to do, let us do it, just be obedient. made him unhappy, and then it hurt my daughter, and I couldn't do it. This girl, not to mention whether the virtuous son-in-law is interesting to her or not, even if there is! We also have to turn a blind eye, and if necessary, we have to help hide it......"

"You're doing that?"

"What else can I do?!" Bai Nao'er asked, "What do you say?" ”

Wang stopped squeaking.

"Alas!" Bai Nao'er sighed and said, "In front of me, my daughter can still tie the heart of the virtuous son-in-law, if she really can't tie that day...... Phew, it's not that day! ”

Wang also followed: "No, definitely not!" Our daughter is better looking than her! ”

"That's right!"

Suddenly, the Wang family thought about money again, glanced at Bai Hao'er, and said distressedly: "Old thing, you, you have to be an official." If you are not an official and want to be a particulant, won't our Bai family have a livelihood for generations? ”

"That's what women see!" Bai Hao'er glared at Wang and said, "What do you know?" What is the origin of our Bai family? The merchant hawker is also! The imperial court explicitly decreed that the descendants of merchants and scholars were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Do you want our Bai family to be a businessman for generations? Now that I am an official, I can be regarded as changing the style of our Bai family. After me, my children and grandchildren can be officials, isn't it? ”

"You can't see it. If you want to get a share, you have to have the confidence to take a share. The virtuous son-in-law has the ability, he doesn't want a part, and everyone sends it to him. What are we, and we are also worthy of doing business with Guogong? Isn't it hot for us to hold this one? When I was alive, I had the face of a virtuous son-in-law, and I took it. But what about future generations? The descendants of our Bai family are still merchants, the descendants of Guogong, and the people are hereditary Guogong, at that time, will this son still be yours? ”

After Bai Hao'er finished speaking, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said, "The one who catches it in his hand is his own." And this money, with a virtuous son-in-law, are you still worried about food and clothing? Didn't you hear what the virtuous son-in-law said? This bazaar was given to him by His Majesty. He has given it to me now, and it can be passed down from generation to generation, you know! Women's family, cook your food! ”

Wang really didn't understand much, but when he saw that Bai Nao'er had an idea, he didn't panic in his heart, and boasted: "It has to be my old man, and he has a plan in his heart!" Wait to send these little plague ghosts away, and I will serve you well at night. ”

After speaking, Wang Shifei gave Bai Hao'er a look. Bai Hao'er understood and laughed.
