Chapter 75: The Woman Begging for Water
"Is anyone home?"
Yang Cui was tidying up the house, when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, she walked out, and a strange woman stood outside the door, carrying a basket in her hand, and a few handfuls of green cowpeas and some eggs were placed in the basket.
Luo Yanfen looked at Yang Cui, she hadn't seen her for a while, her appearance became more and more charming, Luo Yanfen was very jealous in her heart, a woman who was abandoned by men, why did her life get better and better? Why is it getting more and more beautiful?
If Cen Xiao saw her, would he be confused by her outside? Even if Cen Xiao doesn't, if she learns Cen Xiao's noble identity, she will definitely stick it like a dog skin plaster, and when the time comes, she will use this vixen-like appearance and kindness to Yuan Qiu, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not recommend herself to Cen Xiao!
No, she must not allow such a thing to happen!
Luo Yanfen's brain made up a lot, and she was crazy jealous in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and she still had a smile on her face: "Ah! It turned out to be Miss Yang, you live here! ”
"You ......"
"When the county magistrate tried the lawsuit between you and the Lin family before, I watched from outside the court, so I know you and you don't know me."
"Oh, is there anything wrong with you?"
"I'm passing through here, and I'm thirsty, so I want to ask for a glass of water."
"Qiuqiu, go pour a glass of water for this aunt."
"Oh." Yuan Qiu ran into the house and poured a glass of water for Luo Yanfen.
"Thank you, little friend, you are so sensible." Luo Yanfen smiled slightly, "Come on, come on, my aunt will give you candy to eat." ”
Luo Yanfen took out a handful of rock candy from her pocket and gave it to Yuan Qiu.
"Thank you, you can keep it for yourself, I have it at home." Yuan Qiu refused without even thinking about it.
Luo Yanfen was stunned, she didn't expect Yuan Qiu to be untempted by candy!
At this time, Yuan Qiu said again: "Auntie, you look like a kidnapper who sells children!" ”
Luo Yanfen: "......"
"Don't be rude! Go into the house and practice calligraphy. Yang Cui apologized to Luo Yanfen, "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, he is speechless, don't blame, it's just a glass of water, you don't have to be so polite, candy is such a precious thing, you better keep it for yourself and eat it." ”
"Hey! It's just a little rock candy, and this kid is really cautious, for fear that I'm a kidnapper. ”
"There are a lot of kidnappers, and a few children in our family can't be abducted easily, and they won't take what outsiders give me if I don't nod." In this era, if a child is abducted, there is basically no possibility of getting it back, so Yang Cui usually educates children and cultivates children's awareness of anti-abduction and anti-deception.
When Luo Yanfen heard this, she smiled on her face, and she had actually greeted Yang Cui's ancestor dozens of times in her heart, so that Yuan Qiu was highly vigilant under the influence of Yang Cui, and it was not so easy to kidnap Yuan Qiu.
"Miss Yang is really good at teaching children, it's not easy for a woman to take a child, you can still bring a child so well, you are really amazing! Even if he is not his own child, he is treated equally, and he is also allowed to read and write, which is really kind. ”
At this time, An Youfu and Pingping came to send firewood, and seeing that Yang Cui was going to be busy, Luo Yanfen said goodbye: "Miss Yang, then I will leave first, so I won't bother you, thank you for your water." ”
"Xiaocui, who is that?" An Youfu looked at Luo Yanfen's back as she left and asked.
"Passing by and begging for water."
——
Stargazing Tower.
"Shopkeeper, you don't seem to be in good spirits lately!" Chef Pang Zheng took a pot of tea and sat down opposite the shopkeeper, and now at this point, it is the rest time of the restaurant, and they have time to rest.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing? Fool whom? Pang Zheng smiled sheepishly, "Are you thinking about Miss Yang?" ”
"How do you know?" Yu blurted out the shopkeeper, and then advised, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people's reputation to turn around." ”
"Yo yo yo! This is not your Yu family's person, so I took care of it! Pang Zheng teased.
"You old fellow, you don't have a doorkeeper, let's be honest! How do you know. ”
"In the past two days, you asked An Xiaojiang An Xiaohe what Miss Yang was doing at home, and said that you wanted to protect her media, and asked her what she wanted, I guessed that you Yu Datou would give people media?" Pang Zheng looked like I didn't know you yet, and then said, "With your conditions, isn't it more than enough to match her, so you need to be entangled?" Find a matchmaker! ”
"An Xiaojiang said that she wants to recruit Lang." Shopkeeper Yu said.
Pang Zheng was stunned, this was something he didn't expect.
"Miss Yang is a little different from other women." Speaking of Yang Cui, there was a smile between the shopkeeper's eyebrows.
Pang Zheng glanced at him: "Look at your spring-hearted appearance, she is talking about Zhaolang now, but if you give a bride price of fifty or sixty taels of silver, and arrange it properly for her adopted son and daughter, do you think she is happy to marry you?" If the bride price is fifty or sixty taels, it will be one hundred and eighty taels, and if you have money, you are afraid that women will not want to? No matter how capable she is, she has never seen much silver, so if she goes down with such a big sum of money, can she not be moved? You still gave him the position of wife, and after marrying you, the Lin family didn't dare to trouble him anymore. ”
The shopkeeper Yu is worse than Lin Shikang, a serious official, but there is the Su family behind the shopkeeper! There are still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and the Lin family still dares to live in the shopkeeper? What's more, things have come to this point, and Lin Shikang himself is difficult to protect.
After listening to Pang Zheng's suggestion, the shopkeeper Yu decided to show his sincerity first, but soon the restaurant was going to be busy again, and he was not available, so he instructed Xiao Si: "You go back and tell the old lady, let her old man quickly prepare sixty taels of silver, ten pearls, a pair of gold and silver bracelets, two gold and silver hairpins, the color is a little younger, I will use it tomorrow morning, remember?" ”
"The little one remembers."
Xiao Si immediately ran back and told Mrs. Yu what he said.
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was shocked, and grabbed Xiao Si and asked, "Did he say what he was preparing these for?" ”
"The master didn't say anything."
"You're serving by his side, don't you know? Hurry up! ”
Xiao Si hung his head and was silent.
Old lady Yu was angry enough: "You are really obedient!" Roll on! ”
"The little one quits."
Xiao Si is the person who is in charge of the shopkeeper, and without the consent of the shopkeeper, he will not disclose the owner's information to anyone.
"Ah Jing, do you say that the big head has a favorite person, otherwise why do you prepare these things in a good manner?" Mrs. Yu smiled, her daughter-in-law has been dead for several years, her son has not been found, and there is no hostess in the family.
Hua Yuqing's face was a little ugly, and he squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile: "Cousin will come back in the evening, aunt, you can just ask him, but I don't think this thing is for my future sister-in-law." ”
"Why?"
"If you want to be hired, don't you have to go through your aunt first? I haven't met the eight characters, I don't think it's what you think, aunt. ”
When the old lady heard this, she was immediately disappointed.
Although Hua Yuqing said this to the old lady, she was actually so suspicious in her heart, the Yu family was not a noble family, but she took so much money out at once, it was still a woman's jewelry, and she had to emphasize that she was younger, Hua Yuqing had to pay more attention, after all, she was going to be the hostess of the Yu family!
