Chapter Seventy-Six: The Little Demon King
"As the shopkeeper said, our main competitiveness is the style, but the style is good or not, you have to wear it out to know, what about me, I plan to choose a few maids with good figures, put on our clothes, and hold a show at the door."
Show show, the noun is very fresh, but Tang Muqiao still understands it.
Qu Xiaobai has done her best to come up with the word show show to replace the catwalk show, if he and He Xing don't understand it anymore, she plans to go and give them a head crash.
"Showcase? I can roughly understand what you mean. That's a good idea. Tang Muqiao nodded.
"In addition to this, I also want to ask, is there a painter in the house who has good painting skills? Or the outside, as long as the painting is good, let's spend money to invite. The best thing is that it was painted by a lady of work. ”
Tang Muqiao said: "This is not difficult, the Xixi Qinqi calligraphy and painting in the house are proficient in everything, and the ladies should be good at painting." ”
Nima's, the Merry Embryo is really not as simple as he looks like on the outside, and he can't be a coward to these people raised in the house. It's just that he looks the same age as Yang Ling, what else does Xixi do?
Qu Xiaobai scolded and said, "This is the best, if Steward Tang agrees, then I will take them to my house today." Seeing that Tang Muqiao was puzzled, he hurriedly explained: "Because I need to teach them something, it is too troublesome to run on both sides, so I can only work everyone to go to my house." ”
Tang Muqiao hesitated slightly, and Qu Xiaobai asked with a look on his face: "What, is there anything inconvenient?" ”
Tang Muqiao said: "The maids are fine, but Mr. Xixi, because I still have to teach the little boy, if I go to live in your house, I am afraid that it will delay the little boy's schoolwork." ”
"Gah? Little boy? Qu Xiaobai was so shocked that his eyes almost didn't fall out. Isn't Mu Nanyun's guy still married? Isn't he the concubine of the five princesses today? Where did this little boy come from?
Is this a cuckold for today's princess before she gets married?
No wonder he refused to return to Beijing for three years to get married. If you go back, you have to let the fifth princess chop it into mashed meat, right?
The expression on her face was so rich that anyone could tell what she was thinking. Tang Muqiao saw through her thoughts at a glance, smiled, and explained: "The little boy is the cousin of the childe, because his father sacrificed his life for the country on the battlefield, so the son has always taken him with him to raise him. ”
"Oh, I see. Otherwise, let Mr. Xixi finish his schoolwork every day and then go, and I will let the carriage pick up and drop off every day, but this will be hard for Mr. Xixi. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, won't it be over when I go to your house with my husband?"
As soon as Qu Xiaobai's voice fell, I heard a crisp children's voice outside, and as the sound came from far and near, a child in an emerald green shirt jumped in, looking only seven or eight years old, combing his hair in a bun, and a small face carved with jade, revealing cuteness.
"Little boy, isn't this okay?"
Tang Muqiao's face was unwilling.
"What's so bad? This eldest lady, the person that Brother Yun has always valued very much, right? Since he is a person that Brother Yun values, he wants to have the ability, Mr. said, life is full of knowledge, and Mr. also said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, I think, with this big lady, you should be able to learn a lot of knowledge, right? ”
Qu Xiaobai looked at this little boy, and his mind was confused for a while, what kind of talk is this kid? It's only seven or eight years old, it's too cute.
Children or something, they are all big devils, she has always stayed away, "That, little friend, there is a lack of food and drink in the town, and the conditions are difficult, I am afraid that you will suffer if you go, so it is better to stay in the house obediently." ”
Qu Xiaobai hurriedly refused.
Let such a big demon king go to live in her house?
No, she couldn't.
Tang Muqiao said: "Mrs. Yang is very busy every day, she has no time to take care of you, and you can't learn anything from what she does......"
"Not really." The little boy Mu Qisheng interrupted Tang Muqiao's words very rudely, "I think this eldest lady has a splendid chest and is very clever, what she does may not be suitable for me to learn, but with my experience, she must be more knowledgeable than you." Besides, I don't have to learn from her, isn't she going to borrow from her husband? I'm just thinking about it. If I go with him, my husband will suffer less from running around. ”
…… What kind of elf is this?
"Mu Xiaogongzi, I'm just a peasant woman, in addition to being able to make clothes and farming, I really don't know much knowledge, let alone any splendid treasure." Qu Xiaobai walked in front of Mu Qisheng, her size, in front of a seven or eight-year-old child, still has an advantage, she deliberately held her head high and magnified her advantage, "If you want to go out to let off steam, just say that you want to go out and let off steam, don't talk to me!" ”
Qu Xiaobai suddenly changed his serious and vicious tone, and Mu Qisheng shrank back in fright.
"You can go wherever you like, I don't welcome a noble son like you." Qu Xiaobai added another sentence bluntly. Reasoning with children is the most unreasonable thing, playing Laipi is the right way, whoever can play whoever can play is the winner.
Tang Muqiao stood behind, couldn't hold back his laughter, turned his face to snicker, and met Yang Ling's gaze.
At that moment, Yang Ling's eyes flashed with depth.
Tang Muqiao dodged slightly, and turned his face back.
"Little boy, Mrs. Yang is very busy and has no time to take care of you, when your brother left, didn't he also ask you to do your homework in the house, he will check your schoolwork when he comes back." Tang Muqiao persuaded.
"Steward Tang, you will use my brother to press me, don't think I don't know, my brother is going to war, and he will have to come back sometime."
"Mu Qisheng!"
With the voice entering the door, it was a young scholar, coarse cloth robe, with clear eyebrows, Tang Muqiao and He Xing both respectfully hugged their fists and greeted him: "Mr. Lin." ”
"Steward Tang, Shopkeeper He, I'm sorry, I didn't look at it for a while, so I let this kid come here to make trouble. I'll take him away. ”
Mr. Xixi Lin Pei was gentle and polite and vaguely arrogant when he spoke, and he looked white and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The hand was suddenly shaken, it was Yang Ling's temperature, this hand was a little tight, and Qu Xiaobai felt a slight pain.
Yang fool, I just looked at people twice, are you vinegared like this?
Tang Muqiao turned a blind eye to the small actions of the two, and said to Lin Pei: "Mr. came just in time, I have something to ask Mr. for help." ”
"Oh? What's up? ”
"Mrs. Yang, this is our Mr. Xixi Lin Pei, what do you want Mr. Lin to paint, please say it."
Qu Xiaobai said: "That's the case, I want to ask Mr. Lin to paint a few paintings of ladies, which are for the ready-to-wear shop, I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to help with this?" ”
Scholars are often high, this scholar is also arrogant, in this world, the status of a businessman is not good, Qu Xiaobai does not dare to guarantee that others can give in to her a shop.
I really can't do it, so I go outside and hire a painter, which is nothing more than spending a little more silver.
Unexpectedly, Lin Pei agreed very happily: "Mrs. Yang, right?" What kind of lady do you want to draw underneath? ”
This scholar is so easy-going and easy to speak, Qu Xiaobai was very surprised, "It is for the shop to be used for publicity, and it should be posted outside the shop, mainly to draw the exquisite style of the clothes." Belch...... That, such a thing, should not be troublesome to Mr., if Mr. has any inconvenience, we can understand it. ”
This scholar looks at people well, and it is better to say some things clearly.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a little thing, I can help as much as I can. It's just that the painting skills are limited, and I don't know if I can meet Mrs. Yang's requirements. ”
"Sir is gracious. It is overkill to let Mr. paint a poster for us. Thank you, sir, don't dislike it. It's just that I have to bother my husband to stay in my house for a few days, which is not a task that can be completed in a day or two. ”
Qu Xiaobai and the scholar had a polite look at Yang Ling's teeth, and suddenly leaned down and whined at the little boy Mu Qisheng, scared the little ghost and hid behind Lin Pei.
Qu Xiaobai hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my husband is him, there is a problem here, Mu Xiaogongzi, don't be afraid, he won't hurt you." Qu Xiaobai pointed to his head.
"Cut, it turned out to be a fool, scared the master to death."
Mu Qisheng patted his chest, looking frightened, Lin Pei pulled him in front of him, and warned with a serious face: "Mu Qisheng!" Don't be so rude when you speak! Apologize to this brother. ”
This baby looks like a little devil, but in front of Lin Pei, he is much more obedient, "He scared me first!" Mu Qisheng said aggrievedly.
"My brother is playing with you. Apologize quickly, otherwise I won't take you to Mrs. Yang's mansion to live! ”
"Oh." Mu Qisheng was so aggrieved that his cheeks bulged into frogs, walked in front of Yang Ling, and said obediently: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you." ”
Yang Ling grimaced at him again, and he was so frightened that he shrank into Lin Pei's arms.
Lin Pei patted him on the shoulder, "This is a good boy." Well, you go and pack your things, and when I'm done here, I'll call you. ”
"Don't lie to me, you will sneak away when the time comes!"
"I'm your teacher, doesn't my words count?"
"Not really."
Mu Qisheng was taken away by the maid, Tang Muqiao walked up to Lin Pei and asked, "Are you going to take this little demon king to Huling Town?" ”
"Don't worry, with me, no matter how stubborn he is, he can't jump out of the circle."
Lin Pei's tone was flat, but the more bland it was, the more Qu Xiaobai felt that there was a fierce arrogance in this scholar.
"He is Childe's favorite child, you better take a good look at him and don't be careless."
"Got it." Lin Pei turned around and looked at Qu Xiaobai, "I heard that Steward Tang's opening time is set in five days, so there is not much time left." When is Mrs. Yang going to leave? ”
"I'll pick a few more little maids, sir, wait a minute."
Qu Xiaobai looked at Tang Muqiao, "Steward Tang, please gather the maids in the house here, I can pick a few, is it okay?" ”
