Chapter 8: A Female Guest Arrives (5)
Liu Xing'er stood up in pain holding her elbows.
"You poisonous woman, you don't talk nonsense! You said that this baby is yours, why don't you have a piece of clothing on this girl when you go out in the cold?"
As he spoke, he pulled out the female baby behind him, and said cautiously: "Baby, don't be afraid, you tell this official that the official will administer justice for you!" ”
The girl's tears flowed, and only then did she explain the reason.
It turned out that this girl was abducted from the capital by this poisonous woman, and after twists and turns, she was abducted all the way to Stone Town.
After listening to the cry of the girl, the leading eldest brother squatted down, wiped her tears, and asked her very affectionately: "Baby, what is your name?" ”
The girl muttered and replied: "My surname is Zhang, and my father and mother call me Qiao'er." ”
The man stood up, hugged Qiao Mei into his arms, and asked, "Qiao Mei, the uncles are going back to the capital this time, are you willing to go home with us?" ”
Qiao Mei'er nodded vigorously: "Uncle and this sister are both big heroes and good people, Qiao Mei'er wants to be with you!" ”
Liu Xing'er has read countless people in the past, has dealt with all kinds of people, has seen the tenderness of an iron-blooded man, and has also seen the strength and decisiveness of a soft-soft woman, and she is not overly surprised by this scene in front of her.
The poisonous woman was a rat ant, and when she saw that Qiao Mei'er had someone to support her, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her pants were wet, and the eldest brother hugged Qiao Mei'er with one hand, and blocked his and Qiao Mei'er's eyes with a knife, with a look of disgust.
"Quickly drag this filthy goods away and hand it over to the local government as soon as possible, so as not to let it here and insult my eyes!"
The people around him quickly set up knives and were about to escort people out, but Liu Xing'er stopped: "Slow!" ”
Everyone in the room stared at her, wondering what else she was going to do.
Liu Xing'er endured the pain, grabbed the two hundred coins on the tea table, took one string and handed it to Su Zhengdi, and stuffed the other string back into the poisonous woman's purse.
She was calm: "Although our Fulai Inn is a small temple that can't accommodate the big Buddha, but open the door to do business in accordance with the rules, we should not let us get a point, we should not get it, we don't take a point, we know each other, say goodbye today, each cherished!" ”
The woman smiled bitterly: "I never thought that it would be planted in the hands of such a girl as you, I am unwilling!" ”
The eldest brother in the lead gave a cold look, and the pedestrian left with her.
There was such a big commotion in the inn, and it was full of people watching the excitement outside, and the Su family hid in all corners of the first floor, and they didn't dare to come out.
Liu Xing'er looked at the empty room, and her heart was also empty, she sighed, and respectfully bowed to the big brother.
"Originally, I thought that the official was a wild man, I didn't want to offend the official, but today I saved the baby thanks to the official's action!"
The eldest brother touched his beard, looked at Liu Xing'er with some surprise, and said with a smile: "I just picked up a good one, but it was ...... who really saved the baby."
Brother Su Zhengdi on the side hurriedly bowed his body, lowered his head and hurriedly said: "Thanks to the official master who subdued the poisonous woman, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble our Fulai Inn will become!" ”
The eldest brother teased Qiaomei'er and looked at the two of them with interest, Su Zhengdi secretly raised his head and looked at the big brother as if he was asking for help, the eldest brother saw that Su Zhengdi was deliberately concealing, and laughed a few times: "It's fun, it's fun." ”
He lightly put down Qiao Mei'er and straightened his clothes, but after all, he still didn't break it.
Brother Su Zhengdi breathed a sigh of relief and asked politely: "Dare to ask the official's surname?" ”
The big brother was a little impatient.
"Don't call me by the official, the shouting makes my scalp tingle, I am a brother when I go out, just call me Li Biao!"
Su Zhengdi saw that Li Biao was a happy person, and he was no longer restrained.
"Brother Biao is a cheerful person, my brother Su Zheng recognized Brother Biao as a brother, and today let us set up a banquet at the Fulai Inn to entertain all the brothers!"
Li Biao shook his head.
"Now it's inconvenient for us to stay longer with a girl, so our brothers should send her back to Beijing as soon as possible! In addition......"
He grabbed Su Zhengdi's shoulder and pulled him aside, laughing a little slyly, but his voice was very low.
"You have such a capable and powerful beauty hidden in this house, but brother, you are a little dishonest! Although I don't know what you want to hide, but by this fate, I, Li Biao, recognize you as a brother! ”
Su Zhengdi knew what Li Biao was hiding in his mouth, and he also pretended to be confused and smiled.
Liu Xing'er on the side saw that these two people were very affectionate, and she didn't know what kind of trick the two of them were selling, so she could only smirk.
A few people quickly stabilized their emotions, and Li Biao talked to Liu Xing'er and Su Zhengdi and his wife seriously: "I don't know the two of you, I didn't expect that there would be a strange woman like a little lady in the small stone town, and I Li believe that Fulai Inn will have a bright future!" ”
Liu Xing'er was a little proud but also a little shy, and smiled and excused herself.
"How can you say so powerful, Brother Biao!"
Li Biao didn't laugh, but became serious on the contrary.
"Speaking of which, I don't hide it from the two, my Li and my brother are both imperial guards, because of the emperor's order, they stayed in the Fulai Inn in order to hide in the city."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of paintings from his cuffs, on which was painted a pair of red jade, the red face was transparent and the inside and outside were double round, and the jade body was engraved with 'Yu Wu Yuantian', and there were few horns carved on it.
Li Biao said: "Stone town is the only way to go to the capital, presumably there are a lot of people coming and going along the way, you stay in the store all the year round, you will be able to deal with a lot of passers-by, if you can meet the person who carries this jade, I hope that the two of you will pay more attention to me Li." ”
Su Zhengdi's eyes sank, his heartstrings trembled, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Is the emperor looking for this piece of jade?"
Li Biao smiled while collecting the painting.
"The emperor's order is here, and I have nothing to say."
Then, with a "snap", he put down the knife in his hand.
"This knife is carried by me Li Biao all the year round, it has been with me for so long, and it can also help you in the town, and those hairy thieves don't dare to do anything to you, if you have anything in the future, you can bring this knife to the capital to find me."
Su Zhengdi felt that this knife was heavy, he couldn't bear this favor and wanted to refuse, Liu Xing'er thought about the bad things that had happened in the past few days, and took it happily.
"Then we might as well be respectful!"
Brother Su Zheng looked at Liu Xing'er with a heavy heart, and stopped talking.
Li Biao smiled, he squatted down and looked at Su Zhengdi and his wife, and said to Qiao Mei'er: "Baby, it's time for us to go on the road, say goodbye to my aunt and uncle!" They are your real lifesavers. ”
Li Biao wanted the child to call them both according to his seniority, but Qiao Mei'er was unwilling, with tears in her eyes, she kowtowed heavily to Liu Xing'er, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, today's great kindness and great virtue Qiao Mei'er keep it in mind, and I will definitely repay you in the future." ”
Liu Xing'er felt very sorry for this baby, and quickly helped her up, hugged her into her arms, and her eyes were also red, Li Biao saw Liu Xing'er and Qiao Mei'er meet in Pingshui, and they also experienced life and death, and their friendship was deep, although they couldn't bear to separate the two of them, they still hugged Qiao Mei'er.
"I will say goodbye to Qiao Meier in the next place, and the coming day will be long, and there will be a period later."
Liu Xing'er wiped away her tears.
"Why are you in such a hurry, or you don't have to stay with your brothers for dinner and then leave."
Li Biao laughed when he heard this: "Everything in this Fulai Inn is good, it's just this meal......"
He was only halfway through his words, laughed a few times and walked out of the door with the baby in his arms.
Liu Xing'er frowned, a little incomprehensible, and suddenly took out three hundred yuan from Su Zhengdi's purse as if she remembered something, and shouted while chasing Li Biao: "Brother Biao, you still haven't stayed for a night, I have to return this money to you!" ”
Li Biao just strode forward and waved his hand to the back: "Little lady, please go back!" Just take it as the deposit that I Li Biao put down, and I'll see you again in the future! ”
Liu Xing'er saw that Li Biao's figure holding the baby was getting farther and farther away in the dusk, so she stopped, she squeezed the three hundred yuan in her hand tightly, but Li Biao's unfinished words were in her mind.
'Fulai Inn is good for everything, it's just this meal...... 'What's wrong with this meal?'
She went back to the inn in a reluctant, and didn't look at Su Zhengdi, "I slapped the money on Su Zhengdi's chest."
The store was empty and only the Su family remained, and the old man Su looked at Liu Xing'er's injuries, and said to Brother Su Zheng: "Don't be busy today, take your daughter-in-law to the hospital to treat the injuries first." ”
Su Huagu cleaned up the dishes from upstairs and said sneeringly.
"Some people, nosy people don't even want their lives! If you want to die, you should die farther, but don't affect our Su family! ”
Liu Xing'er saw the vegetable plate in Su Huagu's hand at a glance, which was the food she served to Li Biao's house, and suddenly understood.
She angrily snatched the plate from Su Huagu's hand, pinched a piece of meat with her hand - and took a small bite, which made her "puff" a few times bitterly.
Su Huagu did not shy away from it at all, and stood on tiptoe, a little proud.
"Who wants you to say that my cooking is unpalatable, anyway, I am such a cook in this house, if you make me unhappy, then I will make it even more unpalatable!"
Liu Xinger is the most detail-oriented person, especially in the back kitchen, she is very attentive, she didn't suppress her temper, and she also raised her voice.
"Eldest sister, you are the eldest sister in this family, I didn't taste your food out of trust, this time it is related to the future life and death of Fulai Inn, how can you do such a thing to smash the signboard in the store for the sake of vindictiveness! You want the Su family to be cornered! ”
