086. New Year's gifts
After chatting with Liu Yuanyuan for a few words, Liu Jiaojiao went straight to the point and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, I came back to you for something and wanted to ask you for a favor." ”
"There's no need to be polite between you and me, you can say anything." Liu Yuanyuan frowned slightly, as if she was not satisfied with Liu Jiaojiao's politeness.
Liu Jiaojiao smiled apologetically and told the matter, Liu Yuanyuan waved her hand indifferently after hearing it, and said: "What is the big deal for me, I have to beat around the bush to say it, don't worry, I don't need my father to come forward in this matter, I will help you do it properly." ”
"But the flower building is ...... kind of place"
"Hehe, I understand, how can I go to that kind of place?" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the maid serving beside her, "You go and invite the housekeeper, and say that I have something to look for him." ”
The maid was ordered to leave, but after a few moments, the butler followed her into the side hall.
Liu Yuanyuan said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, I have something to ask you to do it yourself, you have to do it for me beautifully." ”
The housekeeper bowed and said, "Miss, please command." ”
"There is a flower house in the town called Yi Cui Fang, do you know?"
"I know, just over there in the south of the city, the boss behind the scenes is surnamed Gu, he is greedy for money and lustful, and the business of Hualou is acceptable." He is worthy of being the housekeeper of a large family, and he is simply clear about everything in the town.
Liu Yuanyuan nodded and said, "If I want it to close its doors, how long will it take?" ”
The housekeeper didn't ask her why she did this, she just lowered her head and thought about it, and then replied, "Miss, is it in the name of our house or is it a secret operation?" ”
"There's no need to let our family have a reputation for running out of Hualou, just operate in the dark."
"If you go back to Miss, as long as the money is guaranteed, it will be fine for a month."
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Liu Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you think?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao really didn't expect Liu Yuanyuan to come directly to Tianliang Wang Po, is this the rhythm of the domineering president's possession? couldn't help but be a little confused, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Sister Yuanyuan, as long as you can redeem my friend's sister and teach the old bustard a lesson, there's no need to get people to close down, right?" ”
Isn't this everyone's girlfriend? How can she act more ruthlessly than a modern woman?
Liu Yuanyuan said disapprovingly: "Since it's a lesson, if you don't hit her, where will she remember, Jiaojiao, my sister knows that you have a good heart, but some people can't connive at it, otherwise they will hurt people in the future!" ”
Liu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly and stopped talking.
She doesn't think she is a kind White Lotus, but why does Liu Jun think she is too kind-hearted, and now that Liu Yuanyuan says the same, she almost has to take it seriously.
After a few more words to the housekeeper, Liu Yuanyuan asked her, "By the way, what is the name of your friend's sister?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "My name is Xiaocao, my family's surname is Xiong, and I am only seven years old." ”
"Don't even a seven-year-old child go? Butler, as long as you don't make trouble, even if you let it go, you can come to me directly to get how much silver you need, this kind of dirty land shouldn't be left in the first place! Liu Yuanyuan was a little angry, "By the way, you have thought about redeeming this girl named Xiaocao in the past two days." ”
The steward took the order and departed.
Liu Yuanyuan asked the maid to change a cup of hot tea for Liu Jiaojiao, then took her hand and said earnestly: "Jiaojiao, I really treat you as my sister, so if you need my help in the future, just open your mouth directly, don't be the same as today, my sister will feel uncomfortable, you know?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao said apologetically: "Sister Yuanyuan, it's me who is not good, I always think that it should be polite to ask people to help, don't worry, it won't be in the future." ”
"Really?"
"Not really, I promise!"
"Then you still call me Sister Yuanyuan? Well, call Sister Sheng to listen? Liu Yuanyuan's eyes flashed with a narrow light.
The corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, how did she scream? Although this body is only ten years old, the girl has been running for four in her two lives combined, okay? It's already very aggrieved to call my brother to a teenage boy, and now I need more teenage sisters?
Is this wave of forced pretending to be tender too successful?
Liu Yuanyuan personally arranged for someone to send Liu Jiaojiao back to Baohetang, and also asked people to load a large cart of all kinds of New Year's goods, unless she brought them back, otherwise she would not be able to look down on this sister, Liu Jiaojiao had no choice but to accept it.
When she returned to Baohetang, several anxious Xiong people hurriedly surrounded her, looking like they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
Seeing this, Liu Jiaojiao smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, Xiaocao will be able to redeem herself from the flower building in two days." ”
Xiong San didn't say a word, he knelt down and kowtowed to her three times in a row, and said with excited crying: "The owner's great grace, I have no long things, just such a strength and a life, and I will give it to the owner from now on!" ”
"Don't, get up! Get up and speak! Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled him up, with a look of disapproval, "The man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel down to people casually?" Since you call me the owner, how can I see death and not save me? Don't kneel down in the future! Also, your life is your own, keep it for yourself, and help me do things well in the future to repay me. ”
Xiong San wiped away his tears with his hand, nodded fiercely and said: "Don't worry, I will work hard and never disappoint your great kindness!" ”
Xiong Da also said on behalf of the other two brothers: "The owner, our four brothers have one heart, if you help the third brother, it is equivalent to helping us, we remember this kindness!" In the future, we will do our best to do things for the owner, and I will not hesitate! ”
Because Lei Zhong went to the next town to buy goods, so he was not in the pharmacy today, Liu Jun's brothers and sisters asked the shopkeeper Black Bear to arrange accommodation, and then left the town and returned to the village with a large cart of New Year's goods that Liu Yuanyuan had forced to stuff.
Liu's house is the richest family in the town, so Liu Yuanyuan is very generous, and almost all the New Year's goods sent are good things, all kinds of mountain delicacies and good wines, as well as a few large boxes of delicately made snacks, at a glance, you know that it is not a bargain.
Liu Jun's two brothers and sisters couldn't eat so many things no matter how big they ate, so they discussed, divided a part of it to Lao Li Tou, and sent most of the good wine, and then brought two jars of good wine, a box of snacks, and a bag of mountain delicacies, and the brothers and sisters personally sent it to the village chief.
The village chief never expected them to be so polite and so generous, and he couldn't help but sigh a little while being happy.
The Liu family is really not ordinary stupid, these two brothers and sisters have the ability and know how to repay their kindness, why are they being demons there every day? It's time to have a good relationship with them.
Look, I just helped a few innocuous little favors, so a generous New Year's gift, they are real relatives, if the relationship is good, how many benefits can they get?
Stupid, really short-sighted and stupid!
The slander is slandered, and the village chief is still very happy in his heart, so he waits for the Liu family to eat the consequences of their own evil in the future.
"Hahaha, Jun boy, delicate girl, you said you should come here, why bother to spend so much?" He hadn't taken his eyes off those things.
It's not that he is shallow-eyed, but the village is really poor, even as the village head, it is rare for him to see so many good things.
Tsk, these two bottles are good wine, it is said that it costs twenty taels of silver for a jar, and there is no need to open it, just smelling the faint fragrance he is already drunk.
Hey, this box of dim sum is really exquisite, and people are reluctant to eat it, and they know that it is not cheap at a glance.
There is also that bag of mountain treasures, although the village is close to the mountains, and there are a lot of wild games in the mountains, but the whole village is Liu Jun, a good hunter, and most of the things caught are sold for silver, who is willing to eat? Now you can enjoy it like the old men in town, and it doesn't taste too good.
Liu Qiang couldn't bear to look directly at his father's inconsistent words and deeds, but he couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and his eyes looked at those New Year's ceremonies.
Hmm, the wine looks so good, how much can Dad give him? That snack also looks delicious, how many pieces can Dad give him? And those mountain treasures......
No, I can't look at it anymore and think about it, I can't hold back my saliva!
Liu Jiaojiao noticed the appearance of the village chief's father and son, and couldn't help snickering in her heart, but she pretended to be a sensible junior on her face, and said politely and politely: "Grandpa the village chief, you have helped our brothers and sisters a lot these days, isn't this about to celebrate the New Year?" We should send some New Year's gifts to honor you, you must not refuse, otherwise we will not feel at ease during the New Year! ”
"Hahahaha...... the village chief stroked his beard and laughed loudly, Lao Huai comforted, "Then I'll come back and rely on the old man to sell the old you're welcome, accept it, accept it all!" ”
"That's right!" Liu Jiaojiao smiled, then got up and saluted him, "It's not too early, my brother and I will go back first, village chief grandpa, I wish you a good new year and good health!" ”
"Okay, good, borrow your good words. Hadron, you go and send them. The village chief smiled so much that he raised his hand to beckon Liu Qiang to come over.
"Got it, Dad." Liu Qiang nodded in response.
Liu Qiang is not good at words, but he has a strong personality, even if Liu Jiaojiao repeatedly refused, he still sent them back to the old house in person according to the instructions of the village chief.
After seeing Liu Jun open the door, Liu Qiang was just about to say goodbye and leave, but Liu Jiaojiao called him: "Brother Liu Qiang, don't be in a hurry to leave first, it's cold, go into the house and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up before leaving!" ”
Liu Qiang shook his head and said, "No need, my father is still waiting for me at home." After speaking, he raised his feet and left, just took a few steps and turned his head suddenly, with a little hesitation on his face, "By the way, Jiaojiao girl, there is something I have thought about for a long time, and I still think it is better to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Jiaojiao said curiously.
"It's about your separation, in fact, my father has gone to the clan elders several times, but they just don't agree."
"Why don't you agree?"
A trace of struggle flashed in Liu Qiang's eyes, and he was silent for a while before he said quietly: "They are worried that you will leave the village after you break up, and the people in the village will no longer be able to touch your light in the future, so ...... But don't worry, my dad is on your side, and he said he will continue to find a way to convince the elders. ”
Liu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with anger, but because it was dark, Liu Qiang didn't see it, she pretended to be fine, and said with a smile: "Got it, thank you Brother Liu Qiang, you thank the village chief and grandfather for me." ”
When Liu Qiang walked away, Liu Jun looked at Liu Jiaojiao with some concern, and said: "Jiaojiao, the real power in the village is actually those clan elders, even the village chief does not dare to resent, if they do not agree, it will be difficult for us to divide the family." ”
Liu Jiaojiao smiled coldly, "It's just a few bad old men, what are you afraid of?" Want to take advantage of me? Hehe, my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of! ”
