Chapter 64: The Zhao Family's Abacus
Seeing this, Bai Qianning hurriedly went to the corner of the wall and hugged the little fox back, seeing its frightened look, pretending not to know anything and following its fur, and then looking sideways at Xiao Douding and Zhan Qianche, who were still sleeping sweetly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the moon and stars are scarce, Bai Qianning comforted the little fox and walked to the window to look out, only to see that everything was silent outside the house, and even the Zhao family who were nesting outside the fence seemed to be sleeping soundly.
It's been many days since I was reborn into this world, and I have some hope for the future. She has never been a person with great ambitions, otherwise she would not have given up her parents' business and her grandfather's medical clinic in her previous life, and chose an agricultural college that couldn't be beaten with eight poles.
In the era of modern reinforced concrete, the pace of life has long been overloaded, everyone is in extreme anxiety, and has long lost the most primitive pursuit and cognition of life.
Once the soul wears it, it may have fulfilled the quiet simplicity of her life. Thinking of these, Bai Qianning looked up at Haoyue, and the pear vortex smiled lightly, but she didn't know that every historical intruder was destined to set off a stormy wave, and this huge wave was due to the rising love in her heart at the moment.
She didn't know that the man named Wang Qi was not a farmer hunter, let alone a bandit in the rivers and lakes, but the seventh prince who could fight Qianche in a single hand.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Bai Qianning's thoughts, and I don't know when, Zhan Qianche had already stood behind Bai Qianning.
Bai Qianning shuddered unconsciously, turned around and met Zhan Qianche's pitch-black pupils, quickly collected his expression, and replied in a low voice: "Fang Cai Tangyuan woke up and screamed, I was afraid that it would wake you up, so I hugged it to appease." ”
The little fox who was imprisoned in Bai Qianning's arms inexplicably carried the pot, and a pair of blue eyes focused on it, struggling to get off the ground.
"Obedient!"
Bai Qianning took advantage of the situation to hug it tighter, and continued to comfort while smiling, with a gentleness on his face that had never appeared in his life.
I have to say that any woman, no matter what kind of personality she used to have, will automatically turn into a puddle of water in front of the person she likes, but her look is a little inexplicable in Zhan Qianche's eyes.
Zhan Qianche's dark eyes swept across Bai Qianning's face, and by the moonlight, her thin and moist skin became more and more delicate, but this scene seemed to be very different from the woman with a treacherous face when he first saw him, and he couldn't help but look deeper and deeper.
I don't know how long such an ambiguous and embarrassing atmosphere lasted, but Zhan Qianche suddenly woke up, withdrew his gaze abruptly, moved his thin lips slightly, and said: "Go to bed early, it's not too early." Then he stepped into the back room.
It wasn't until he closed the door that Bai Qianning replied with hindsight, "Oh! ”
At that hour, the sun had just risen from the distant mountains, and there was a knock on the door, followed by Liu Cuiping's duck-like cry.
"Third daughter-in-law, open the door quickly, it's time to go into the city to earn money."
Bai Qianning, who was still counting the seed inventory in the space, was woken up, lifted the quilt and opened the door.
"What is it called? What are you anxious about early in the morning? ”
"No, third daughter-in-law, don't forget that you still owe us ten taels of silver, if you can't earn it today, don't want to redeem yourself, and don't want to go back the money you have paid."
Liu Cuiping put her hands on her waist, which was called a high-spirited person, as if she didn't even care about the lord of Hades.
Seeing her like this, Bai Qianning didn't bother to argue with her, so he just said, "Who let you into the courtyard?" Get me out, I'll wash my face and come. With that, he closed the door.
At this time, Xiao Douding had also woken up, and Zhan Qianche went down to the secret room in the middle of the night and was not in the house.
Bai Qianning put on her coat and saw through the window that Liu Cuiping had returned to the courtyard, so she opened the door and went out to fetch water and wash with the basin.
The fifty taels earned yesterday, in addition to the twenty taels to be given to the Zhao family and the hundreds of dollars spent on buying materials, there is still a lot of silver left. She didn't need to go to the county again, but she was delayed in Xiangmanlou all day yesterday, and her understanding of Chechi County was still equal to zero, so she decided to go again, and by the way, she only earned ten taels of silver a day, so as to save any trouble in the future.
Before going out, Bai Qianning confirmed that Zhan Qianche was not there, so he sent Xiaodouding to Xu's house first, there was still a bunch of sugar gourds left in the sugar gourds bought yesterday, and Xiaodouding didn't cry when he took the sugar gourds, but only asked his mother to buy her some delicious food again.
Bai Qianning naturally agreed happily, and before leaving the Xu family, she deliberately stuffed a tael of silver in Aunt Xu's hand as a thank you for these few days, but Aunt Xu could only accept it.
After arranging the children, Bai Qianning went back to the house to count the things that still needed to be bought at home, prepared to buy them together, took out the silver on his body, counted twelve taels and brought them with him, and put the rest into the rice jar, and then went out with a bamboo basket on his back.
When the Zhao family saw Bai Qianning carrying a bamboo basket, they hurriedly swarmed over and followed Bai Qianning all the way to Uncle Qin's house.
Even yesterday's car money, Bai Qianning handed over a hundred yuan to Uncle Qin, and only said: "Uncle, I still trouble you to run with us again today, you can take the money." ”
Seeing this, Uncle Qin hurriedly pushed and said, "I only have twenty wen for a round trip, so I don't need so much." ”
"Uncle, you take it, I have to trouble you today, I have to buy too many things, and there is no place to rest in the county, I think if you have nothing to do today, you will wait for me in the city, and if I buy any big items, I will send them to your carriage first, so it will be more convenient."
"But......" Uncle Qin still felt that the silver was too much, and he wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it for a while, he nodded happily, and only said: "Okay, I will have this silver today, and if I am still used in the future, the girl will speak." ”
"Well, I made a note of it." Bai Qianning also hurriedly replied, and went out to tie the carriage with Uncle Qin, but he didn't expect that the four members of the Zhao family who had been waiting in the courtyard had already climbed into the carriage together.
"What do you mean by that? Are you still afraid that I will run away and not admit it? ”
Bai Qianning rolled her eyes, she was really impatient with this family.
Liu Cuiping saw that Bai Qian's face darkened, and she squeezed out a rare smile, and said flatteringly: "That's not it, we happened to go to the county to buy grain today, and we just went there." ”
Oh? Originally wanted to hitchhike? Bai Qianning slandered in his heart, but he didn't want this bloodsucking leech to take advantage of half of the money, so he pulled Zhao Erniu's sleeve with one hand and dragged her off the carriage.
said: "This carriage was hired by me for money, why should I let you sit in vain, either go down, or pay according to the head, Uncle Qin will pay for a car for 20 wen, there are five of us in total, 4 wen per person, if you want to take the car, take the money, otherwise you will give me all down." ”
Bai Qianning was sure that this money-hungry rich slave would not be willing to pay, so it could be regarded as deliberately stimulating them.
It's just that she didn't expect Liu Cuiping to really take out sixteen pieces and hand them to her, and said very happily: "Isn't it just silver, just give it to you." ”
???
Bai Qianning only felt that three question marks appeared above his head, what is the situation? The family changed sex overnight? No, absolutely not, experience has taught her that there must be something wrong here.
Could it be ...... Bai Qianning suddenly understood, a wicked smile slipped across the corner of her lips, and she received the silver handed by Liu Cuiping into her arms, and beckoned Uncle Qin to drive away.
Along the way, Bai Qianning intentionally or unintentionally mentioned how he earned the silver easily, but he didn't mention the specific way, which made the Zhao family, who had already made this calculation, dizzy, as if they had been brainwashed, and only felt that earning silver in the county was as easy as picking up money with a sack.
The road went quite smoothly, and the Zhao family listened to Bai Qianning's brainwashing preaching with pyramid schemes, and their eyes were almost straight.
At the same time, in the No. 1 room of Tianzi in Xiangmanlou, Wei Qi, the number one secret guard who is full of rivers and lakes, is reporting to Yan Moze about the situation of the investigation.
"Master, the white girl is now on her way here, and there are four people accompanying her."
"Oh? Who is it? ”
Yan Moze asked.
"It's all from the family she bought three months ago." Wei Qi replied.
