Chapter 84: Xiaoyu's News
She Yi closed the Yijin Sutra in his hand, placed it at the head of the bed, and glanced down at Ruoruo, who was already asleep in his arms. He gently placed Ruoruo next to him and covered it with a quilt. I got out of bed, walked to my desk, blew out the candles, went back to bed, and fell asleep peacefully......
……
On the twenty-third day of the first month of the spring of the sixth year of Zhenghe, because of the good news presented by Lunan, he was transferred to the first official. Tong Guan was appointed to pacify Shaanxi and Hebei, and the war between Song and Xia began again.
In the blink of an eye, ** days passed......
In these ** days, something has happened more or less. The grass wither that She Yi cultivated in the greenhouse can be picked, and the daily output is about 100 catties.
As soon as these straw mushrooms were put on the market, they caused a sensation in the entire Luoyang City.
No one thought that in this season in the north, there are fresh mushrooms to eat, and they are freshly picked fresh mushrooms, you know, even in summer and autumn in the north in this era, mushrooms are rare. Now in the winter, there are people who sell so many mushrooms......
The sensational effect can be imagined. Facts have proved that no matter what era it is, there is no shortage of local tyrants and foodies. As soon as these mushrooms arrived at the market, they were snapped up.
On the first day of the vegetable market, the price of selling a pound of straw mushrooms was five taels of silver, and when it was transferred to a second-hand dealer, it became ten taels of silver......
……
On Wang Dashun's side, Wang Dashun was eager for "revenge", and finally fell into She Yi's trap and loaned him 5,000 taels of silver, the interest rate...... Naturally very high......
As soon as Wang Dashun got the money, he opened a new Zuiyue restaurant, and by the way, he bought Tex at a low price in the hands of She Yi and sold hot pot instead.
Because he has the stir-fry cooking skills he learned from She Yi before, coupled with his extensive connections, the business of the new restaurant seems to be good. However, it seems that the money he made is just enough to pay off the interest.
Wang Dashun didn't care, he naively thought that the restaurant business would get better and better, and it wouldn't take long for the principal and interest to be fully repaid.
……
In terms of Wang Dafa, Wang Dafa began to worry, his peers are enemies, and his brother Wang Dashun has opened a new restaurant, so he will naturally pull some customers away. As a result, Shunfeng Restaurant's business was naturally affected.
At this time, the thin monkey of Infernal Affairs, under the instruction of She Yi, came up with a brilliant idea for Wang Dafa, which was to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!
She Yi's mushrooms came out, and the hottest dishes in the past few days are undoubtedly the mushroom series. What small pheasant stewed mushrooms, mushroom stir-fried meat, mushroom greens...... All of these things are worth trying.
The idea that the thin monkey sent to Wang Da was to buy out the straw mushrooms at the source. In this way, only their family has mushrooms to sell, even if Wang Dashun's restaurant wants to sell straw mushrooms, they have to buy them here...... Pit him to death......
Wang Dafa praised the thin monkey's clever plan...... Immediately ask the skinny monkey to contact the buyer of the mushroom.
The next thing is completely in accordance with She Yi's setting......
Wang Dafa spent a lot of money to get the thin monkey to contact She Yi, and She Yi promised to sell all the straw mushrooms he produced to Wang Dafa, and by the way, he gave him a few straw mushroom series of superb dish recipes in the town store.
Wang Dashun heard that the mushrooms were monopolized by his younger brother, so he didn't care, so he didn't sell mushrooms...... But things were not as simple as he thought......
In the entire Luoyang City, dozens or hundreds of big restaurants more or less have mushroom series dishes for sale, only the restaurant he opened does not. The day after there were no mushrooms for sale, the number of customers began to decline...... On the third day, the number of visitors was halved...... It is estimated that the third day is on the verge of bankruptcy......
His restaurant is not his own restaurant before, it was all made by loan sharks.
Now that there are no customers, don't say that the interest repayment of every profit cannot even maintain normal income and expenditure...... (Note: An Yixue has a wide range of contacts, and Wang Dashun doesn't know that the loan shark he asked An Yixue to borrow is She Yi)
Wang Dashun was forced to apologize to his younger brother Wang Dafa, hoping that his younger brother Wang Dafa could provide him with some straw mushrooms.
Wang Dafa, with the attitude of a victor, was magnanimous, and gave Wang Dashun a limited amount of straw mushrooms every time, and Wang Dashun's restaurant eased up. The guests gradually recovered......
Wang Dashun finally breathed a sigh of relief...... I secretly decided that I must take back all the restaurants in my brother's hands!
In the past few days, Wang Dafa was proud of the spring breeze and offered the thin monkey as the god of wealth......
……
Because it is a leap year and it is the first month of Run, it is still January after January. Eating dumplings on the first day of the first lunar month is a custom in most places.
Just yesterday afternoon, Yue Mochou received a letter from Yue Shan'er.
The letter said that she would return to Luoyang in a month, and her younger brother Yue Fei would come with her, and she wanted her younger brother to come out to see the world.
Yue Mochou was happy after reading the letter, and said that her daughter was a girl who married out, and she spilled the water. Now she is even more widowed, and she has no face to go home to see her mother and brother......
And her sister Yue Shan'er brought her younger brother Yue Fei to Luoyang...... She can see her brother without having to go home. Sister and brother are flesh and blood, and blood is thicker than water. Most older sisters love their younger brother very much.
However, Yue Mochou was a little worried that Yue Shan'er's letter did not mention her brother-in-law Dong Bicheng. Brother-in-law Dong Bicheng tried his best to bring his sister Yue Shan'er back, how could he easily agree to return to Luoyang? There must be something strange about this.
If you think about it, her sister's surname is too stubborn...... I don't care about my brother-in-law Dong Bicheng's feelings at all...... Sooner or later, something will happen.
She Yi didn't say anything after reading the letter, just smiled slightly.
As for Ruoruo, he was quite dissatisfied...... A little reluctant to let Yue Shan'er come here.
……
On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining, Yue Mochou and the two Xiaocui Xiaolan were making dumplings in the main hall, and She Yi and Ruoruo were "exercising" in the backyard.
The moves practiced by the two of them are the moves in the Yi Jin Sutra......
This Yi Jin Sutra was beyond She Yi's expectations, and in just a few days, he felt its extraordinary effect, if he kept practicing, he might really be able to practice a martial art.
"Uncle, this Yijin Sutra is really powerful...... I feel that these days, there is inexhaustible strength in the body. ”
Ruoruo slowly took a pose and said to She Yi.
"The rope saws the wood and the water drops the stone wears, and persevere."
She Yi replied briefly with twelve words.
"Understand ......"
If you don't speak anymore.
At this moment, the door in the backyard creaked open, and Xiaocui walked in.
"Young Master, Miss, Ugly has run out again......"
"You just get it back......"
She Yi put away her posture and said to Xiao Cui.
After She Yi and Ruoruo's care, Ugly's eyes opened a few days ago, and black and white fur grew on his body, and the whole appearance was completely new. It looks very cute. After a little sun outside yesterday, I was unwilling to stay in the wooden box in the inner room.
As long as it senses that She Yi and Ruo are not in the room, it will also sneak out and wander around.
"I've been caught several times, and as soon as I put it in the box, it crawled out again before the person could walk away. Crawl towards the main hall ......"
Xiao Cui said helplessly, this ugly was fed by She Yi and Ruoruo, and she was not afraid of their maids at all.
"Uncle, Ugly wants to bask in the sun...... Let's go play with Ugly for a while......"
Ruoruo put away his posture and said.
"Well, well......"
She Yi nodded.
The three of them returned to the front and walked into the main hall, and Ah Chou really crawled out of the second hall again, looking around from time to time, two black bean-sized eyes were dripping, very cute.
Yue Mochou and Xiaolan, who were making dumplings, looked at Ah Ugly's cute appearance, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Ugly! Who let you out! ”
Ruoruo just walked into the main hall and called out the name of Ah Chou, Ah Chou quickly turned around and crawled towards the inner room......
"This little guy ......"
The corners of She Yi's mouth curled and he smiled...... Yue Mochou and Xiaolan also laughed again with She Yi......
Ruoruo stepped forward a few steps and bent down to catch Ah Ugly. Ugly immediately closed his eyes, lay on his back on the ground, and pretended to be asleep motionless......
"You're still pretending to be asleep! Uncle has fed you......"
Ruoruo nodded on Ah Chou's forehead, Ah Chou seemed to understand Ruoruo's words, opened his eyes and took a look, and after finding that there was no She Yi, he immediately closed his eyes again, which was very funny.
"Haha......"
She Yi couldn't help laughing......
Ugly is still young now, just so cute, and when he grows up, he can sell more cute...... It's a lot more fun to feed it than to feed a puppy......
Yue Mochou Xiaocui Xiaolan also smiled, and she couldn't even care about making dumplings when she smiled...... Only Ruoruo pouted, a little dissatisfied with the ugly performance.
"Hmph, you ugly, Miss Ben fed you for nothing......"
In fact, Aug is not afraid of Ruoruo, but because Ruoruo is not gentle enough, and often teases it, and hurts it if he is not careful...... And She Yi is relatively better, every time he feeds it, he is very careful and does not touch it, so he thinks She Yi is safe and reliable.
"Uncle, Ugly can pretend to be good, just like you......"
"This ...... You girl, take out the ugly wooden box, put the ugly inside, and put it outside to bask in the sun. Then come over and help your aunt make dumplings. ”
She Yi said to Ruoruo with a smile.
"Okay......"
Ruoruo carried Ah Chou into the inner room...... After a while, he came out, secretly glanced at She Yi, and carried the ugly's nest and put it at the door......
She Yi washed his hands, sat next to Yue Mochou, and wrapped dumplings by the way. Ruoruo put Ah Chou away, also washed his hands, sat next to She Yi, and made dumplings like his mother Yue Mochou.
Xiaocui and Xiaolan roll out the skin and cut the dough one by one.
"Xiao Yi, the county lord hasn't come to our house for a few days."
Yue Mochou said casually.
"yes, I haven't seen Sister Wanqi in a while......"
Ruoruo also spoke.
The movements in She Yi's hand paused, and when he heard Yue Mochou and Ruoruo say this, he was really a little uncomfortable in his heart, a little worried look flashed on his face, and his brows jumped...... On the surface, the wind is bleak...... In fact, it is impossible not to worry.
Since Zhao Wanqi went back, he has never seen Zhao Wanqi again. I heard that she was grounded by her father. I don't know how long it will be closed this time......
"Hmmm......"
"Xiao Yi, have you inquired about the news of the county lord?"
Yue Mochou glanced at She Yi.
"I've inquired...... It seems to have been grounded by her father. ”
She Yi said flatly.
"Aren't you worried about her marrying that Xue Ying?"
Yue Mochou continued.
"Probably not...... She's so savage, it's only strange that she can get married......"
"Savage your sister!"
Before She Yi finished speaking, a woman's burst of cheers came out of the second hall, and then a woman in white clothes with a paper fan and a scarf walked out of the second hall.
This woman is none other than Zhao Wanqi, the county lord mentioned by Yue Mochou.
Zhao Wanqi walked out viciously, walked to the table and glanced at She Yi, and sat on the other side of Yue Mochou affectionately.
She Yi looked at Zhao Wanqi with some surprise, and only came back to her senses after half a sound. No wonder Yue Mochou asked abruptly about these irrelevant words.
"Hey, when did you come here?"
She Yi looked at Zhao Wanqi curiously.
"Guess ......"
Zhao Wanqi helped hand the dumpling wrapper to Yue Mochou's hand.
"Ben Gongzi doesn't need to guess, he said...... What are you doing with me? ”
She Yi naturally wouldn't mess around with him like a child.
"Let's have a meal...... And of course, by the way, good news for you......"
She Yi picked up a dumpling wrapper, no longer looked at Zhao Wanqi, and asked casually.
"What's the good news?"
Zhao Wanqi looked at She Yi with a smile.
"It's your sister's news......"
"Your sister...... Will you die if you don't swear! ”
She Yi glared at Zhao Wanqi, Zhao Wanqi's little sister surnamed Zhao Wanqi was not saved......
"You...... Well, the lord of this county doesn't remember the villain, and the one of the New Year doesn't care about you. The lord of this county is talking about your sister She Yu......"
Zhao Wanqi paused and said word by word.
"Huh? Xiaoyu! ”
She Yi was startled, and the dumpling skin in his hand almost fell off.
"Oh, look at you...... If you sleep in the same bed with him every day, you see who he is thinking about...... Slap him twice ......"
Zhao Wanqi was stunned and instigated Ruoruo.
"Ahem......"
If she calmly pretended to cough, she would not be used as a gun by Zhao Wanqi. She Yi is her uncle, so She Yu is his aunt, and she will eat her aunt's vinegar when she is full...... She knew in her heart that Zhao Wanqi was her worst enemy.
"Xiaocui, Xiaolan, I'll get the dumpling wrappers...... You two go to the kitchen and make the fire ready. ”
Yue Mochou instructed Xiaocui Xiaolan.
"Yes, ma'am......"
Xiaocui Xiaolan withdrew from the main hall.
……
"Zhao Wanqi, what's wrong with Xiaoyu, you say it seriously."
She Yi looked at Zhao Wanqi a little nervously, he knew that Zhao Wanqi was talking the opposite, saying a good thing, but in fact it was definitely not a good thing......
"Excited about what...... Safe now...... Forget it, I'll tell you anyway...... Your sister She Yu left Taiyuan Mansion and mysteriously disappeared...... No one knows exactly where they went......"
Zhao Wanqi shrugged her shoulders.
"What? Xiaoyu is missing? ”
She Yi frowned...... After thinking about it for a while, she saw the smiling expression on Zhao Wanqi's face, and concluded that she must know Xiaoyu's news.
"Sister County Lord, just say it...... Uncle is very worried about Aunt Xiaoyu's ......"
Ruoruo's immature voice said seriously.
At the beginning of the scene outside Suide City, She Yi rode a white horse, broke into the thousands of troops, and had a deep love with his sister She Yu's brothers and sisters...... It will forever be engraved in the memory of everyone present.
Ruoruo and Yue Mochou can see it clearly...... I also understand the relationship between She Yi and her younger siblings.
"Well, since Ruoruo said so, the lord of this county will reluctantly tell you...... Someone had seen her on the way to Luliang Mountain......"
"Luliang Mountain?"
When he mentioned Lu Liangshan, he remembered his mother, the Red Lady.
"What is she going to do there?"
She Yi's brows furrowed even tighter......
"Nobody knows about that...... But don't worry...... Her life should not be in danger. It is said that she has light skills, and she can also use hidden weapons, and there are people to protect her in secret. I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be another red lady on the rivers and lakes......"
Zhao Wanqi pulled the board over, holding a small rolling stick in one hand and dough in the other, learning from the previous appearance of Xiaocui Xiaolan, and rolling up the dumpling skin.
"You're too worried, Xiaoyu is not the one with the surname......"
She Yi took the dumpling wrapper, scooped a small spoonful of dumpling filling with a spoon, put it on the skin, and wrapped it......
"Will you find out in a few years...... The lord of this county has long seen that she is a little tiger...... Sooner or later, when you grow up, you will eat people...... Hey, I just remembered, why is your ugly a bit like that ...... in Pixiu Valley?"
"That piebald dog, right...... Ugly is its cub. ”
She Yi cut off Zhao Wanqi's words.
"Oh...... I'm just, how do I look familiar......"
Zhao Wanqi "suddenly realized". Pixiu is a fierce beast, comparable to a jackal, leopard and tiger in most people's impression, and it will scare Ruoruo and Yue Mochou.
"Hey, sister county lord, have you seen Ugly's parents?"
Ruoruo looked up at Zhao Wanqi in surprise.
"Of course...... Is there anything in this world that I haven't seen before? ”
Zhao Wanqi slapped her chest unashamedly......
She Yi's eyes inadvertently swept over Zhao Wanqi's chest, and the events of that night sounded in her mind......
"Don't look where you shouldn't look......"
Zhao Wanqi took a piece of dough and smashed it on She Yi's face with a snap......
She Yi's face was flushed, and his face was white with flour.
Ruoruo giggled when he saw She Yi's appearance...... Yue Mochou smiled knowingly......
……
A quarter of an hour later, a pot of hot dumplings was served......
Yue Mochou, Zhao Wanqi, and Ruoruo, three women, chatted and ate dumplings at the same time, leaving She Yi alone there.
She Yi didn't care, thinking about how to get rid of Wang Dashun as soon as possible, earn enough funds, and cultivate his own power...... There is also the matter of my sister Xiaoyu...... He had to go to Luliang Mountain to find out his identity...... Also, is the mother red lady alive? The mysterious woman on the night of the Lantern Festival, is she a red lady? Isn't the Red Lady ......
"Uncle...... When are you going to marry the county lord's sister and pass the door, and when the time comes, the three of us will sleep in the same bed, so ......"
If a sentence suddenly came out......
Zhao Wanqi and Yue Mochou were stunned and looked at Ruoruo in surprise. She Yi was also shocked to come back to his senses and blinked......
Ruoruo had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face......
"Ahem...... In fact...... This ......" (To be continued.) )
