"Have you seen that Miss Xu Shi?" Fang Xiuting was stunned for a moment, then nodded to herself, "You know her brother, and you should have seen it." ”

"I haven't met Miss Xu Shi," Qiao Ran shook her head, smiled, and said, "But I've heard of her, and I've heard that she is a very talented woman." ”

She flipped through the notebook and returned it to Fang Xiuting.

Fang Xiuting accepted the notebook, and said that the red bean's disinterest was fake, but she was really not interested.

"Miss has been away from home for a long time, and finally comes home, we are ready to eat good food, what is this idiom called?" Hongdou brought the boiled sugar water balls over and asked Qiao Shu on the side.

Qiao Shu thought for a while and said, "Catch the wind and wash the dust?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hongdou was excited, "I know another idiom." ”

The joy between his eyebrows and eyes was about to overflow. This babbling-looking maid is also surprisingly easy to satisfy. It's probably the legendary fool who has a foolish fortune! Fang Xiuting shook her head, picked up a bowl of sugar water balls and ate them.

Compared with Pei Qingqing, who likes it very much, Qiao Ran, who was washed by the wind, did not like to eat sugar water balls so much, and after handing her bowl of balls to Pei Qingqing, she got up and said that she was a little tired, and wanted to wash up and rest.

It's still early before the time to eat, and the hot water is ready early, so Red Bean hurriedly got up and went to prepare.

Watching the master and servant leave one after the other, Qiao Shu thought thoughtfully: "Miss Qiao looks tired. ”

"How can you not be tired after seeing Your Majesty?" Pei Qingqing was very happy to eat the sugar water balls, and sent a spoonful of sugar water to her mouth, "Talking is like a war, you have to ponder carefully sentence by sentence, I heard that there are adults in the capital who saw Your Majesty once, and under the fright, they broke out in several cold sweats, and went home and lay in bed for three days before recovering!" ”

The world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are naturally people who are as timid as mice. Fang Xiuting pursed her lips and said, "Broom...... She's not like such a timid person. ”

"But in the face of His Majesty, you must also deal with it carefully." Qiao Shu lowered his eyes and took a bite of the sugar water balls, "Looking at Miss Qiao, she looks very tired, this trip to Shanxi Road should be very hard." ”

Fang Xiuting glanced at Pei Qingqing, who was eating happily opposite: "Some people don't see that they are tired. ”

Pei Qingqing bared her teeth at her, proud: "This is innate, no way." ”

She is born with much better energy than ordinary people, after all, she is a rare martial arts wizard, Pei Qingqing raised her fist, and when she grows up, she will not run out of food with this strength alone.

Qiao Shu thought of Pei Qingqing, who stayed at home and jumped up and down, flying around, and thought so.

……

Qiao Ran was really tired, and after washing, she lay down on the bed and slept first! By the time I woke up, it was twilight.

The home is not big, and the sleeping bedroom is only a few steps away from the lobby, and the door is not closed tightly, so the excitement in the lobby is clearly in the ears.

"This is delicious, Sister Hongdou will add me another bowl of rice!" Pei Qingqing was a little man and shouted in a loud voice.

Hongdou's voice also sounded immediately: "You have eaten three bowls, carefully break your belly and ask Miss to rub your belly in the middle of the night!" ”

"It's okay, if you're really panicked, you can prescribe laxatives." Pei Qingqing disagreed.

After a few small laughs, Qiao Shu's voice rang out: "You are really a real warrior!" ”

Pei Qingqing disagreed: "Life is short, be happy in time." Zhang Jie, don't you say? ”

"Don't call me by my name, call me uncle!" Red Bean corrected.

Probably went out for a trip, and this aunt was completely overwhelmed by her and had already begun to correct her title.

Zhang Jie's chuckle immediately sounded: "That red bean remember to say a lot of kind words for me in front of your young lady, don't let any messy people get close to your young lady." ”

Pei Qingqing's big voice sounded again: "Is the messy person you said surnamed Li Dan a sign?" ”

"I didn't say that." Zhang Xie said, denying it in his mouth, but the smile in the corner of his eyes was obviously acquiescing.

"Don't go too far!" Fang Xiuting really couldn't stand it anymore, she said, "Li Sangongzi is also a rare talent, not a messy person, besides, people originally wanted to be the same broom...... She has a marriage contract, wouldn't it be good to be reunited now? ”

"There are cracks in the reunion after all." Although there are only two people, Zhang Xie and Miss Qiao, Pei Qingqing always likes to jump out and make trouble, but it is absolutely impossible for others to compete for Miss Qiao. Yes, without waiting for Zhang Xie to speak, Pei Qingqing shouted, "Besides, his family is so troublesome, how can it be like our Zhang Xie is a lonely person, so pitiful!" ”

The "so pitiful" lonely man Zhang Xie fell silent.

Fang Xiuting was aroused by her, and said loudly: "Li San Gongzi is handsome, not to mention anything else, just looking at it can eat two more bowls of rice." ”

Pei Qingqing said: "Our Zhang Xie Chang is also handsome, it's pitiful!" ”

Zhang Jie: "......" He is not pitiful.

But right now, obviously no one pays attention to his emotions, Fang Xiuting and Pei Qingqing are completely matched.

Fang Xiuting said: "The third prince of Li is from Jinling with us, or a fellow countryman!" ”

"You think this is a confession! Besides, Miss Qiao will live in Chang'an for a long time in the future, and there is no need to buy a house if she marries us Zhang Jie. Pei Qingqing waved her hand and was arrogant.

Qiao Ran was about to step into the door: I didn't expect Pei Qingqing to know that it was not easy to buy a house in Chang'an at a young age.

Fang Xiuting snorted: "Li Sangongzi also bought a house, and the house is not a problem." ”

Pei Qingqing thought for a while, and then said: "Our Zhang Xie can drive a carriage, he is the one who brought us back, and even the coachman will be saved in the future." ”

Qiao Shu, who was eating with his head down, only felt that the rice ball in his mouth was a little choked, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't, did he compare the house to the carriage?

Fang Xiuting was not to be outdone: "Li Sangongzi will also do it, and he will also help drive when he is in Jinling!" "They are all people who can be coachmen in the future, and they know how to save money for their families, and they are not compared!

Pei Qingqing looked at Zhang Jie, who was eating leisurely, and said, "You have something to say!" ”

Zhang Xie shook his head with a smile, disapproving: "Miss Qiao chooses a husband and not a coachman, naturally which one is good for her, which one to choose." ”

Pei Qingqing immediately became proud when she heard this, and glanced at Fang Xiuting: "Did you hear it?" We Zhang Xie is good to Miss Qiao, and he will make good dishes. ”

Qiao Shu was choked by these words, and coughed violently, sounding so virtuous.

Hongdou handed him a cup of tea, looked at the two people in front of him, touched his chin, and looked seriously considering.

Fang Xiuting was aroused, thought about it and said: "Li Sangongzi doesn't have any bad habits, he will earn a lot of money in the future, and he will not move a penny, and he will hand it over to his family, which is really good." ”

Pei Qingqing hurriedly followed: "We Zhang Xie can also take the moon house and hand it over to Miss Qiao, my father is like this, but he is obedient." ”

Besides, I was afraid that even she couldn't help laughing, Qiao Ran coughed twice and stepped into the door.

"Miss, you're awake!" The corner of Hongdou's eyes, who was laughing and listening to the two of them, swept to Qiao Ran, who appeared outside the door, and hurriedly interrupted Pei Qingqing's words. The only Chinese network

Didn't these two quarreling voices disturb Miss!

Qiao Ran nodded and said with a smile: "I just got up, but I didn't think it was already this hour." ”

"That's because the young lady is tired!" Hongdou got up, hurriedly handed over a bowl of rice, and said, "Miss, eat quickly, today's dish is delicious!" ”

Seeing this, Pei Qingqing didn't forget to ask for credit for the person next to him: "It was Zhang Xie who made it, and you also know that he is the best at cooking." ”

This is said as if a dignified Yin and Yang Division Heavenly Master is the cook in the back kitchen.

It's enough to laugh just now, but she can't continue anymore, Zhang Xie reached out and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Qiao Ran, and said, "Let's drink tea first!" ”

Pei Qingqing looked at Fang Xiuting opposite with a smug look: Look, we are more considerate of Zhang Jie.

Qiao Ran took a sip of tea, warmed the tea into her stomach, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, then looked at Pei Qingqing, and said with a smile: "It's Laba in two days, remember to call Hongdou and Miss Fang Er to go to Baishenglou to queue up to buy porridge in the morning." ”

Pei Qingqing, who originally wanted to fight with Fang Xiuting for a few rounds, immediately left her previous spirit behind, and immediately cheered when she heard this.

Hongdou has no opinion, after all, in her eyes, nothing is as important as Miss's words. Fang Xiuting was a little surprised, paused, and muttered: "This will cost a lot of money!" After saying that, his face turned red, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, "My mother and I live with you, we eat and live for nothing, and we can't help anything, how can I let you break the bank?" ”

Hongdou was a little surprised when he heard this: "When did you know the general situation so well?" ”

Fang Xiuting snorted immediately when she said this, and turned her face away: "I didn't know anything before, so don't always go through old accounts, I'm not the Fang Xiuting I used to be." ”

Red Bean shrugged his shoulders and disagreed: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Fang Xiuting frowned slightly: "I don't know what I can do, I should always let my mother and I find something to do, it's not good to eat and live for nothing here with you." Besides, my unsuccessful brother only paid enough money to stay in Jiangnan Academy until the spring of next year, and there are only a few months left, and then I will have to pay again. The cost of this school has not yet been settled, and his homework is mediocre, where did he get the qualifications to let the academy be free of tuition? ”

Once the Fang family was defeated, the problems that they had not faced in the past were also put on the table, and the matter of money and wealth always had to be solved.

Hongdou took the rice and looked at her: "Then what will you do?" ”

Fang Xiuting thought for a while: "Look at my embroidery ......"

Hongdou shook his head and interrupted her: "Your embroiderer is not as good as me, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”

Fang Xiuting said again: "My mother can cook two dishes......"

Hongdou glanced at Zhang Xie on the side: "Your mother's cooking skills are not as good as my aunt." ”

Fang Xiuting fell silent: "Then what can you do with me and my mother?" ”

Although Hongdou's words are not good, they are the truth, as if she and her mother really left home and couldn't do anything.

"There's no hurry," at this moment, Qiao Ran interrupted her and asked, "What about your mother?" "Everyone is here, only Second Lady Fang is not here.

Fang Xiuting didn't want to hide it from everyone, and said straightly: "After eating a few bites of food, I went back to the room." She wanted to reconcile with my father, but my father ...... Alas! Now it is true that there is no one alive or dead, and the law stipulates that a person must be missing for five years before he can be punished as dead, and my mother can't be separated at all now. ”

Thinking of the way Second Mrs. Fang was beaten by Second Master Fang back then, Pei Qingqing's little face also became serious. She has seen it with her own eyes, the second and third masters of the Fang family are more ruthless than the other, and they are more cowardly than the other to outsiders, which is really "meaningful".

When Qiao Ran heard this, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Before Second Master Fang's matter is dealt with, your mother had better not get too close to Mr. Yan." ”

Strictly speaking, Second Master Fang is a scoundrel, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a gentleman, you are afraid of a villain. If Second Lady Fang was caught in this matter, Second Master Fang might not be so willing to give up so easily.

Fang Xiuting obviously understood this truth, and she was very worried.

You can't always talk about bad things at the dinner table, and besides, there are obviously more good things than bad things at the moment.

"Your Majesty also rewarded our young lady, and she was so generous when she made a move." Hongdou happily pointed to the brocade box placed on the long table in the middle of the lobby, and the word "royal" was particularly conspicuous to everyone.

"Pure gold, it's worth a lot!" Hongdou said proudly, "It can be seen that Your Majesty still values my young lady." ”

Although she may not understand the specific meaning, she is really right to say this "value" by mistake.

"A few more rewards, sell this gold, and my young lady will be able to buy a house in Chang'an." Red Beans were overjoyed.

This idea was too dangerous, and Qiao Shu hurriedly spoke out to stop it: "The things given by the emperor cannot be sold, and it is difficult for Your Majesty to value a thousand gold." ”

It turns out that you can only see it, but you can't sell it! Red Bean sighed, a little disappointed.

Qiao Ran smiled and shook her head, but she didn't pay much attention to this.

After three rounds of drinking, until the lantern on the roadside cane was lit up, Chang'an completely fell into the night, the banquet dispersed, Zhang Xie got up, shook his body, his face was slightly red, and he looked like he was overwhelmed by alcohol.

"I'll send you." Qiao Ran stood up and said.

A group of people looked down and looked at their noses and noses, and they couldn't see it.

Fang Xiuting sighed: She can compete with Pei Qingqing, a child, shamelessly, but the broom star is there, and Li Sangongzi is afraid that he will not have a chance. This Pei Qingqing was pitiful or something, she didn't see that Zhang Xie was pitiful, but she saw that Li Sangongzi was really pitiful.

……

In the middle of menstruation, although the heavy snow has not stopped, the sky is full moon, and the moonlight is a little brighter than the ordinary night when the silver glow is sprinkled in the snow.

said that it was to send him, but it would not be sent too far, only to the alley and stopped, and he was not at ease when he said that it was far away.

The distance to the mouth of the alley is only a few steps away.

"Miss Joe." A clear male voice sounded on the side.

This sound made Qiao Ran's feet stunned.

It seems that he hasn't heard him shout like this for a long time, and since he went to Shanxi Road, he has never shouted the words "Miss Qiao" in front of her. This is not rude, but it seems to be a step closer than ordinary people, and the title "Miss Qiao" is no longer enough to afford the relationship between them.

Qiao Ran lowered her eyes: She probably knew what it was for, but this feeling was also foreign to her, even if she had lived for more than 20 years in modern times, she had never experienced such a feeling.

After a moment of looking at the shadow beneath her feet, she looked up at him.

Under the moonlight, the man's handsome eyebrows and eyes were particularly soft, and he spoke leisurely: "Xiaosheng's surname is Zhang Dan's name, and the elders and relatives in the family have died for some reason, so now I am the only one in the family, and I can make my own decisions about marriage." To tell you the truth, Xiao Sheng has admired Miss Qiao for a long time, so I want to ask Miss Qiao if she is willing to marry Xiao Sheng? ”

Qiao Ran's face was stunned, under the moonlight, the eyes that had been so clear that she lost her mind at first glance were amazingly bright, and he said with a straight face: "Xiaosheng's family has an ancestral house, Bo has a family property, and he is not good at wine or lust, only you are the best." Yu Lu is equivalent to a third-grade official with 400 stones a year, and he will not move a penny, and he will come back and hand it over to his future wife to take care of. Now there are two carriages, Xiaosheng has good driving skills, and he can drive the carriage for his wife in the future. In his spare time, he likes to study recipes, what the future lady likes, and what he does when he is young. Madame said east, Xiaosheng will never go west. I wonder what Miss Qiao thinks of Xiaosheng? ”

Qiao Ran skimmed her face, her face was amazingly hot.

I don't know how Pei Qingqing and Fang Xiuting laughed and argued, how he said it in such a serious tone.
