Chapter 16: Brother
Here, Jiu Yao walked out of the store with a smile on his face, thanked those people in a few words, and dispersed them. And Qi Ming was almost angry: "Where did this little devil come from?!" Young Master Ben was not yet a weak crown, and she even got her daughter out for me! Shopkeeper Xu, go and check it out for me, which girl in the capital is this, so lawless! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Jiuyao and Chuyun Chuya got the silver ticket from the shopkeeper, and pretended to have just come out of the cloth village, and swaggered back to the carriage.
"Miss, this is your favorite pastry. It's almost an hour now, let's hurry up and go to the Hou Mansion to pick up Mrs. and return home. Xiao Ze said respectfully.
"Okay, let's go back and come out another day. By the way, thank you Uncle Xiao for the pastries", after speaking, he winked at Xiao Ze, turned around and got into the carriage.
on the carriage
"Miss, you're so powerful, how did you come up with such a powerful method?!" Chu Ya's eyes were shining and staring at Jiu Yao, and her little face was full of adoration.
"What's this, you haven't really seen Miss Ben's awesomeness yet. But today, Sister Yun'er and Sister Ya'er are also very witty, which is really good! However, you have to help me keep it secret, and don't sue my mother and father, otherwise the money I worked so hard for will definitely end up in my mother's hands, and maybe my mother will punish us! Jiu Yao looked proud.
"But miss, are you really not going to be discovered by Madame?" Chu Ya was very worried.
"Oh, who would know about us and the people in the pawnshop what happened today? Besides, my mother won't go to a pawnshop, so she won't be able to find out...... You just put a hundred hearts, and Miss Ben is responsible for what happens. Jiuyao said with great certainty.
After a while, she arrived at the Hou Mansion, and this time when she was about to really step into the Hou Mansion, she realized how naΓ―ve she was to think that the Hou Mansion of Anle could not be compared with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In front of you is carved with a hundred birds and phoenixes of the blue background color of the wall, and then in front of it is the winding corridor, the corridor side of all kinds of flowers and trees against the background, the left leads to the back house, along the road winding path through the secluded, the flowers and trees are deeply hidden in it. There is a lake in the garden, verdant and transparent, there is an island in the lake, a pavilion is built on the island, only a boat can enter, it is extremely elegant. There are mandarin birds frolicking in the water, rippling among the layers of lotus leaves.
"County Lord, my wife and the prime minister's wife are talking in the courtyard, please go in."
Jiuyao was enjoying the scenery carefully, and before he knew it, he had arrived.
Stepping into the courtyard, I saw a very young woman sitting opposite the prime minister's wife, with a pair of apricot eyes, willow eyebrows raised, red lips slightly opened, a little powder, and a peach blossom on the human face. Mrs. Hou was dressed in a blue dress, embroidered with kapok embellishments, woven brocade with silk and silk, cut silk with colored satin, and used silkworm snow as a handkerchief, hiding her face and smiling.
Jiuyao walked a few steps forward, bowed steadily, and said thoughtfully: "I have seen Mrs., please say hello to Mrs. and my mother." β
"Oh, where did this little girl come from so well-behaved. Come and show my aunt, she is so handsome, and she is so well-behaved and polite, what a good boy. I said Xuan'er, you are really blessed! Mrs. An Lehou looked Jiuyao up and down, stretched out her hand to lead Jiuyao to her, touched Jiuyao's little face with one hand and smiled at Mrs. Prime Minister.
"Where, Jing'er is a naughty bag, and it doesn't make me worry at all. It's still the little marquis who fights for his sister-in-law, he is a talent at a young age, and his future is limitless! The Prime Minister's wife said humbly.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice coming from afar: "Aunt Princess, as soon as I heard it, I knew that you were praising me again, or you still loved me!" Then he saw a man walk into the hospital.
"Ming'er, it's so big and it's not in shape. Look, this is your cousin, you have to take good care of her in the future, and don't bully your sister to hear it? Mrs. An Lehou scolded with a smile.
"Jing'er has seen Brother Ming." Jiuyao bowed deeply, got up, and looked up......
The four eyes collided, and the two of them were stunned, with deep astonishment and embarrassment in their eyes, Qi Ming was shocked: "It's you?!" β
"What, Ming'er, have you seen my sister?" Mrs. Hou's face was full of doubts, and Mrs. Prime Minister also looked at the two of them with a curious expression.
"Oh, Jing'er and Brother Ming just met today. That's the case, today I asked my mother to go out to play by herself, and I saw Brother Ming in a store, Brother Ming also helped Jing'er, Jing'er hasn't thanked Brother Ming yet! Jiu Yao's little face raised, a coquettish smile bloomed, and then he glanced at Qi Ming.
"It's nothing, originally I helped Sister Jing'er just out of justice, but now it seems that there is no reason not to help. If I had stood by today, I would have regretted it now. Qi Ming was also clever, and followed Jiu Yao's words in a blink of an eye.
"Jing'er, what happened to you when you went out today? Tell your mother, are you okay? The prime minister's wife grabbed Jiuyao and looked up and down.
"Mother, Jing'er is fine, don't worry. That's the case, Jing'er, Yun'er and Sister Ya'er went to a shop, took a fancy to a few gadgets, and wanted to buy them back, but the shopkeeper saw that we were young and there were no adults with him, so he asked for a lot of money, wanting to make us a fortune. As a result, Jing'er saw through him and reasoned with him, who would have thought that he wanted to sell it, it was Brother Ming who helped us. Jiu Yao hugged the arm of the prime minister's wife, very well-behaved, and talked about what happened at a glance.
"That's really thanks to Ming'er." The Prime Minister's wife smiled at Qi Ming.
"Oh, Ming'er said it, this is a trivial matter, not at all, if it is an ordinary person, I will help, let alone our own family." Qi Ming waved his hand, saying very humbly, and won the favor of the prime minister's wife.
"This kid is really good, he is honest and kind and understands etiquette", the prime minister's wife was very pleased.
"Ming'er, since you and your sister Jing'er also know each other, then my mother is not worried about you bullying her. You take her to play in the house, my mother and your aunt still have some gossip to say", Mrs. Hou drove people out with a smile on her face.
"Okay then, Sister Jing'er, I'll take you out for a walk." As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
As soon as the two walked out of the courtyard, Qi Ming spoke: "Little girl, why are you?!" Tell me about you, you made me so miserable, let me make a fool of myself in public, and you can still run to my house openly, so I can't help you. I'll just say why are you so confident, it turns out that you are the daughter of the princess's aunt and the prime minister! β
"Cut, where did I cheat you, it's obvious that your skills are not as good as others, right? Besides, didn't I just say in front of my aunt and mother that I owe you a favor! Jiuyao was unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, I don't bother with you. By the way, how old are you? That's it......"
"Miss Ben is almost seven years old! And, what is that?! β
"Such a freak! You're not even seven years old? So how can you still cheat money from me? Qi Ming's handsome face was full of incredulity.
"What's impossible, this can only mean that Miss Ben is a prodigy, and she is naturally smarter than you!" Besides, can I tell you I'm actually almost thirty?
"Okay, for the sake of you being half as old as the master, I'll forgive you, and in the future, you will follow the master, and the master will cover you!" Qi Ming waved his hand and said arrogantly.
"Hey, messing with you? That Miss Ben can't be bullied to death, just your brain... Alas, forget it, for the sake of my mother's face, I will reluctantly accept you. Jiuyao rolled his eyes, to be honest, this cheap brother is not bad, at least he is not small-bellied, he is a gentleman!
