Chapter Twenty-Six: Wontons Lead to Revenge
Yiren insisted on the letter, lying on the couch, listening to the sound of the rain, there was always infinite melancholy, and even the letter could not bring her a little comfort.
Xiao Picky came in with a soothing incense, and saw her girl lying on the edge of the window with one hand on her arm, and the other hand sticking out of the window, trying to catch the raindrop with her hand.
Xiao Pick put the soothing incense in, quite helpless, "Why did the girl wake up so early, it's just dawn, but she can't sleep again?" ”
Skimming at the letter on the table, the beautiful golden lotus lacquer seal, a pair of eyes suddenly enlarged, "But Childe's letter, is Childe coming back!" ”
Yiren withdrew his hand, took the handkerchief she was holding, wiped it carefully, and said lightly: "I'm coming back, it's just a matter of these two days."
"Childe is coming back, why is the girl still unhappy."
Yiren got up and went to the mirror, picked up the strand of hair, tied the hair rope to the hair, how could it not be braided, it was loose, and I didn't know where to learn the craft? Don't you braids other girls every day!
Xiao Pick looked at her girl's tangled appearance, walked over and took the braid in her hand, and began to knit it skillfully, not that she didn't know the etiquette, but it was really her girl's talent in this area that made people anxious.
Yiren was a little discouraged, so he asked her to make it up, and began to toss the bottles and cans in front of him again, with little interest, "Brother is back in Beijing, I am happy." I'm sad about Kyoto. ”
I don't know how to pick it, and I don't care much about it, her girl is smart, and she always has endless worries.
The braids were combed, the hair was also curled, and the little picker was going to serve her to dress, busy, Yiren glanced out the window, a little puzzled, "Why did you come in so early today, and you didn't fall asleep?" ”
Xiao Pick didn't raise her head, and helped her gird her waist, "No, I'm asleep, it's the two sons who came, and my mother-in-law went to cook chaos for them, and told me to get up and protect the girl from the cold." ”
"They're coming? Why did you come so early? ”
Xiao Pick was confused for a moment, glanced at her, and his expression was a little strange, "The two sons said that they came to accompany the girl to breakfast." I think it's out to sell breakfast yet, and the two sons are just thinking about their mother-in-law's wontons. ”
"I came early this morning, but I'm not afraid that my mother-in-law will be tired! Why are you so unconscionable? "They often come to the Wushu House to discuss matters, and occasionally eat the wontons made by their mother-in-law, and they are full of praise, and from time to time they have to find an excuse to come over for a meal.
Xiao Picky is angry, and the two sons said that it was fake to come to accompany his girl to breakfast, and it was true to eat his mother-in-law's wontons.
But Wan Wan didn't have a reason to wronged them, and hurriedly explained: "The girl doesn't blame the two sons, the mother-in-law feels less, and she has already woken up, and she happened to meet the two sons who came to make wontons." ”
Saying that, he had already walked downstairs, and at a glance he saw the two people who were sitting on the collapsed, Yiren hurriedly silenced Xiao Jiao, Xiao Xuan understood, handed over the lotus lamp and went to the kitchen by himself.
Yiren approached with the lotus lamp and heard the sound of long breathing, thinking that he was already very tired, they were all sitting and sleeping, but the posture was very different, Xiao Yu'an sat cross-legged and slept on the table with his hands on the pillow with his head propped up, and Seventeen was lying on the table with half of his face folded on his hands, but from the sleeping position, the temperament of the two could be judged.
The two of them were awakened by hunger, and when they opened their eyes in a daze, there was a bowl of wontons in front of them, with a bright color and a charming fragrance.
Yiren drank the soup, looking at the two of them unable to open their eyes, and wanted to laugh a little, "Awake?" If you believe it, you will eat it, just out of the pot. ”
The two of them are not polite, they pick up the bowl and start eating, I don't know when they developed a bad habit, they like to talk while eating, more casually than ordinary people.
"Mother-in-law's bowl of wontons has been in mind for a long time, but I can be regarded as eating it."
"Didn't you come here to eat two days ago! I've been thinking about it for a long time! Forgetfulness is so big? ”
"Didn't Xiao Shizi come over to eat that day, didn't you say that her mother-in-law's craftsmanship is rare, and she likes the new and hates the old so quickly?"
Oh! These two also like to quarrel, like a child, they like to fight over everything.
At this time, Xiao Piao would smile and watch her girl change the topic lightly, only to hear her girl say lightly: "What can you find?" ”
Sure enough, the two didn't quarrel again.
Xiao Yu'an put down the bowl and added a spoonful of chili peppers, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when Qi Luo comes." ”
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Qi Luo just sat down and happened to meet his mother-in-law who brought out a bowl of wontons, which was boiled too much and took it out for them to share, Qi Luo's eyes lit up when he saw the bowl of wontons, he had also eaten it, and the taste was really delicious in the world.
looked left and right, Miss Ye still had more than half a bowl in the bowl, and Xiao Xiao also sat and ate, without raising his head, but the two sons were looking at him hostilely at this time after eating half of it.
He stepped forward to take his mother-in-law's bowl in a few steps, thanked her repeatedly, coaxed her mother-in-law into a smile, and then drank soup as he walked, and naturally sat down and began to eat, pretending not to see the two pairs of wolf-like eyes.
Seventeen snorted, "This Qi Luo, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, your son-in-law is still here, you are becoming more and more rude!" ”
Qi Luo has followed his son-in-law since he was a child, and he knows etiquette very well, so he didn't dare to do this, but when he had no study here, or when he was with Seventeen and Miss Ye, he could do whatever he wanted.
Now, I dare to fight with the seventeenth, "The seventeenth prince and the prince still have it in the bowl, don't worry about my bowl, when Qi Luo finishes eating, he will naturally understand the etiquette." ”
It's not that a bowl of wontons will quarrel in the future, Xiao Yu'an looked at Seventeen's mouth and felt amazing, I can't say anything, how can Qi Luo
Probably, his opponent, directly changed the subject, "What did you find?" ”
So a few people gathered around the table to eat wontons and began to deliberate.
"I didn't find anything on the surface, but the Xu family was generous, especially Xu Guangyao, who used money to cripple people several times, but that Xu Gongzi spent a lot of money, and every time he went back to Zuiyulou, it was ten thousand silver, and it stands to reason that this Xu family should not be able to afford it."
"By the way, the Xu family has recently dismissed their subordinates, and several have been sold in the past few days, all of which are from other villages and sold to other places." Qi Luo buried his head in snorting and eating, and none of the information fell.
"Waizhuang! Eastern? Xiao Yu'an raised his head suddenly, with a little surprise on his face.
When everyone saw his reaction, they were all a little more nervous and serious.
Qi Luo didn't hesitate for a moment, "Only that Zhuangzi's subordinate was dismissed, and it was still the housekeeper in the mansion who ran it." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Xiao Picky couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yu'an didn't go around the corner, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and first took a sip of water before saying: "When I went to the eastern suburbs of Xufu last night to take out the house to check, I overheard the girl in the house saying that she was going to sell the scary people and send her lady to the bottom?" ”
"Lady?" Qi Luo was a little puzzled, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"That Zhuangzi is like a subordinate, who has signed a deed of sale, and there are no concubines!"
Yiren also said: "All the concubines in Xu Guangyao's thirty-eight rooms are raised in Kyoto, and there are no concubines in other places." "This matter is still when she was teased by Xu Guangyao, but she was a little angry, and she went to find out the eighteenth generation of the Xu family clearly, saying that it would be convenient to punish the crime in the future, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
Xiao Yu'an Micha thought carefully about the conversation of that day, and said in a deep voice: "That girl said that she was robbed by Xu Guangyao on the eve of marriage, and Xu Guangyao also persecuted her parents and threatened her husband's family, and the girls there were all like her, and they were people who accepted their fate. ”
"Xiao Shizi is talking about the Hu family girl?" Jing Ming got up early to help her mother-in-law sweep the floor, and happened to hear Xiao Yu'an's words.
