Chapter 16 Big Official, Old Man Can't Do It

Ximen Qing guessed: "Could it be that Xu San, who sells jujube cakes?" ”

As soon as Ximenqing's words fell, the idle man was unwilling to snort to the ground, "No, if it is his family, it is a couple, you can guess again." ”

Ximen Qing was patient, and guessed again: "Could it be the wife of Lu Xiaoyi?" ”

The idle man took another sip, his expression was even more angry than just now, "No, if it's his family, it's a good match, you guess again." ”

Ximenqing was made horny by the routine of the idler for a while, so he simply didn't guess it, and went straight to the dry goods.

He took it out of his cuffs, took out a dime of broken silver, and stuffed it into the idler's hand, "I really can't guess, you might as well tell me directly." ”

The idle man took the broken silver and turned it in his hand, about 1 tael, and he didn't play dumb riddles at the moment, he smacked hard at the air with his feet, patted his thigh heavily, and replied sadly: "She is the wife of Wu Dalang who sold cooking cakes on the street before." ”

"Well, Wuda is the three-inch Dinggu bark-like dwarf chicken that distributed steamed buns at the door of the store."

Ximen Qing looked at the idle man's fingers, and just saw that Wuda and Pan Jinlian finished distributing steamed buns, and entered the store one after the other, with an incredible look on his face.

The height of the two is very mysterious, and if they stand together, Wuda can't reach Pan Jinlian's shoulders.

The appearance is even more heaven and earth, with a difference of 108,000 miles.

Whoever hears this for the first time is a dead disbeliever.

Ximenqing couldn't believe it, and asked in surprise: "Really? ”

"Is this still fake? Who doesn't know the people who live in this neighborhood? ”

Ximenqing looked at it twice, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a piece of mutton, how did it fall into the dog's mouth, alas! ”

After saying goodbye to the idlers, Ximen Qing walked around the neighborhood, and unconsciously returned to the door of the newly opened deli of Wuhan University, he was worried about the seductive bright color that just entered his eyes, and couldn't help the miscellaneous thoughts that surged in his heart.

The crowd outside the store has dispersed, and there are still a few idlers gathered at the door of the store, muttering and refusing to leave.

Ximenqing was unwilling, glanced at the tea shop of Wang Po's house, and walked in with thoughts.

"Yo, isn't this the official of Simon? How can I have time to hang out today? ”

Wang Po's eyes were sharp, and she found the well-dressed Ximenqing at a glance, and greeted her warmly.

"Alas, godmother, I saw a strange thing today, and I am unwilling!"

After hearing this, Wang Po came to him and asked curiously: "The big officials run several crude medicine shops, and they are making money every day, and there are groups of beautiful wives and concubines in the family, I don't know how many people are envious, don't you want to have troubles?" ”

Ximenqing took a sip of sour plum soup, sighed again, and sighed sourly: "As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is better than stealing, and the ancients did not deceive me." ”

Wang Po rolled her eyes, moved closer again, and asked in a low voice, "But whose daughter-in-law did you like?" Say it and let the old man help you with the details, maybe there is a way to make the officials happy. ”

Wang Po's teasing made Ximenqing's heart fall to the bottom, and a glimmer of hope was ignited, as if God had reopened a window for him.

At that moment, he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Wang Po smiled, but brought up another topic that was unrelated, and took the opportunity to sell miserably: "The old body has been a matchmaker for a lifetime, but in the end he is lonely and helpless, and now he is guarding this tea shop, and he has not lived a day by day, I only hope that the officials will give some rewards, and let the old body have a settlement." ”

"Of course."

Ximenqing is not a stingy person, he touched his cuffs at the moment, took out seven or eight taels of silver from them, and put them on the table.

patted his chest and promised: "Godmother, don't worry, as long as you help me do a good job of this matchmaking and talk about this family matter, I will thank you heavily." ”

Wang Po looked at the silver on the table, very greedy, and did not express her position at the moment, there are still some concerns that are not accurate.

Uneasy, he asked again: "Big official, if the eldest lady in your house learns about this, won't she ask the big ear scraper to take care of the old body, how can I endure this hardship?" ”

Ximenqing waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "My eldest lady is the best to get along with, and she can tolerate people in her eyes, and now she has asked a few people around her to put her at home, but none of them are to my liking. ”

The last trace of Wang Po's worries was also dispelled, and she didn't care about the ugliness at the moment, she eagerly leaned over and accepted the silver taels on the table, and asked enthusiastically: "I don't know which lady the official is looking at?" Who is the husband's family? ”

Ximenqing raised his hand and pointed to the next door, leaned over and whispered, "It's from Wu Dalang's family." ”

As if she had seen a ghost, her mouth was wide open, her face was full of tangled and regretful expressions, and the silver that had not yet been covered was taken out of her arms and stuffed back into Ximenqing's hand.

Shaking his hand, he kept shirking and said: "My big official, why did you take a fancy to this family, the old body can't handle it!" ”

This time it was Ximenqing's turn to be surprised, he knew that this Wang mother-in-law's family left early, lived alone for many years, and liked to go home and alley the most on weekdays, and the secret affairs of any family could not escape her eyes and ears.

Isn't that what she's good at?

Or does she not like this bit of silver?

Without waiting for Ximenqing to speak, Wang Po was also very nervous about a big customer like Ximenqing, and hurriedly explained: "This is not the only lady in the purple street and alley, or the wife of Xu San, who sells jujube cakes, or the wife of Lu Xiaoyi, the old body can help you try to talk and make peace, but this one can't." ”

Ximen Qing also smelled an unusual smell from Wang Po's words, and couldn't help but ask: "But the love between her husband and wife is abnormal?" Godmother has nowhere to start? ”

"It's not."

"That's where his husband's family comes from...... No, I heard people say that this Wu Dayuan is from Qinghe County, moved to Yanggu County to rent a house to live, and made a living by selling cooking cakes. ”

"That's right, it's not right, the officials might as well think about whether that Wuda has brothers and sisters?"

This time, it was so difficult that Ximen Qing was stumped.

He is just thinking about other people's mothers, how can he have the time to investigate the eight generations of people's ancestors.

Wang Po didn't allow him to think about it anymore, and directly told the riddle.

"That Wuda didn't have anything to say, but a few days ago he suddenly found an uncle, who was the hero who fought the tiger, Cao Dutou, who was appreciated by the magistrate."

"You say, how can I help you say this medium? Not to mention that your eldest woman used a big-eared scraper to whip me, it was the fist of this Cao Dutou, and the old body could not afford it. ”

She only asked Wu Da to intercede a few days ago, and asked Cao Jun to help her avoid a trouble in the yamen.

Now let her provoke someone's sister-in-law, isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself - is he impatient?

Wang Po is also a person who is very good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation, and it is best to go to Ximenqing, and she can pick up some cheap and get some silver, but if she offends Cao Dutou, then it will not be sent in the future.

Ximen Qing was also stunned in place, and sighed with his mouth open: "It turned out to be him." ”
