Chapter 212 Invitation
Soon Feng Xiaogongzi came to the door with a gift, he entered the hall and walked directly to Xiao Qi.
"Master, I asked Ngawang to go to the city gate every day to inquire about the news, and I heard that you were back just now, so I came over immediately."
Xiao Qi: "Thank you, I will teach the prefect's little son to practice martial arts in the future, and you will come over with you when the time comes." ”
Feng Xiaogongzi was very moved, picked up the small wine glass on the table and drank two glasses in a row, "Great, the master is finally going to teach me martial arts." ”
Xiao Qi: "Although I teach you martial arts, you can't call me master yet." ”
Feng Xiaogongzi was very obedient, "Got it, master." ”
Niu was very enthusiastic about Feng Xiaogongzi, and immediately instructed the maid to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and let Feng Xiaogongzi sit down to eat together.
Hua Xi'er: "Xiao Qi, our Qixi Building has been built, you can rest well today, and I'll take you to see it tomorrow." ”
Feng Xiaogongzi was very happy, "My father rented a shop on the first floor, and now he goes to work in the shop every day, and he is more energetic." ”
Niu's face looked forward to it, "Xiao Qi, let's have our own Qixi Building, and give me a shop, I can use it to make food." ”
"Mother, I will also go to Qixi Lou tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will accompany you to pick a shop, Aunt Xi will definitely let the shopkeeper give you a cheaper price, isn't it Aunt Xi?"
Hua Xi'er smiled and nodded.
Niu pouted: "What?" Do we want rent ourselves? ”
"Mother, that shop is not mine alone."
On the second day, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er went to the Yamen to report early, and then took advantage of the lunch break to go to Qixi Tower.
The Qixi building is very well built, with a three-story wooden structure, carved beams and painted buildings, which is very spectacular.
This is unique in Pengzhou City, the highest in the whole Pengzhou City is only two floors, like Mingyue Restaurant and Mingyue Silver Building are two-storey, which has been considered quite spectacular by Pengzhou people.
Xiao Qi looked up at the top of the third floor, "Aunt Xi, where did you find a skilled craftsman to build a three-story building." ”
Hua Xi'er said with a smile: "It's the person who was found by the prefect's little son, and he is really powerful enough to build a three-story building, and he looks very strong." ”
Xiao Qi: "Mu Ziqi is still a little useful. ”
"It's just that this house has a disadvantage, the first floor can accommodate many people, the second floor is slightly less affordable, and the third floor is even more inferior."
"The shopkeeper was also found with the help of Mu Xiaogongzi, and the first floor was divided into many shops, selling some things consumed by ordinary people. The second and third floors are high-end consumption places, operated by ourselves, because there are consumption restrictions, so there are fewer people than the first floor, and only the rich and noble can afford to consume. ”
Hua Xi'er smiled wickedly: "Let's take out the money in the rich people's wallets to subsidize the poor people." ”
The hall on the first floor of the Qixi Building was crowded with people, and the merchants who rented it were doing very good business.
Stinky duck egg stood in front of the Qixi Building and took a deep breath, this building is really magnificent! He already knew that the little seventh girl was extraordinary, and look, it really came true.
Xiao Qi walked over and stood on tiptoe and patted the rotten duck egg on the shoulder, "Stinky duck egg, you can stay in Qixi Building in the future, there is a special room for the guy in the small courtyard behind." ”
The stinky duck egg was very happy to get the errand, "Thank you Miss Xiaoqi, I will definitely behave well." ”
In the afternoon, Xiao Qi heard a report that something had been robbed on West Street.
So when Xiao Qi passed by Qixi Building, he said to Stinky Duck Egg, "Stinky Duck Egg, you keep an eye on passers-by at the door of Qixi Building to see if there are any suspicious people." ”
During the lunch break the next day, Xiao Qi came to the outside of Qixi Building, saw the stinky duck egg standing in the rain, stretched out his hand and patted the rotten duck egg's shoulder, and the stinky duck egg immediately fell to the ground.
The shopkeeper immediately found two sturdy men to help the rotten duck eggs to the hall on the first floor and sit down.
Xiao Qi said to the stinky duck eggs: "Stinky duck eggs, I'll ask the guy to find Lang Zhong to show you." ”
The shopkeeper sighed, "He's not sick, he's tired after standing for too long, since yesterday the little seven girls left the Qixi Building, he has been guarding the door of the Qixi Building without moving a bit, last night before going to bed, I asked the guys to persuade him, he insisted on not listening, and has been standing until now." ”
Xiao Qiyi patted his head, "I went to find the thief who robbed me yesterday, and asked the stinky duck egg to stand at the door to help keep an eye on it, and then I thought he would go back to rest, so I ignored it." ”
The stinky duck egg drank a bowl of hot water, sobered up a lot, and swore to Xiao Qi, "I will do everything that Little Qi girl commands." ”
Tears flowed from Xiao Qi's eyes, "No one has ever listened to me like this, why are you so stupid?" What do you do standing outside in the middle of the night? Don't you know how to hide from the rain when it's raining? ”
The rotten duck egg was a little overwhelmed, "Little Seventh Girl, don't cry, I will be your housekeeper in the future." ”
"Now my mother is the housekeeper, and she won't give you the housekeeping power easily."
"I have already told the shopkeeper that you should rest for a day and then go back to work tomorrow. If you feel uncomfortable, ask the shopkeeper to help you ask someone to take a look. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss Xiaoqi."
The prefect's wife was very angry about her youngest son's trip this time, and asked Mama Zhao beside her to inquire.
Knowing that the youngest son went out to Huainan to pick up the little seventh girl this time, he was very angry.
asked Mama Zhao beside her to inquire about the situation of Xiaoqi's family, and then took advantage of her birthday on May 28 to send an invitation to the Liu family, inviting the Niu family to come over as a guest.
When Ah Fu read the invitation to Niu, Niu was very surprised, she didn't expect that one day she would receive an invitation from the prefect's wife, inviting her to Mufu as a guest, it seems that she has become one of the ranks of the official wife.
The prefect's wife is currently the No. 1 lady in Pengzhou City, and when she goes to the banquet in Mufu, she will definitely meet many official wives, so she must dress up well and keep up with the trend. Niu Shi looked at the clothes on his body, it was too shabby, no, he had to make a few new styles of clothes.
Niu cleaned up the things at home and found that the materials at home were out of fashion.
She went out with two maids in a hurry and went to the best ready-to-wear store in the city, Mingyue Garment Shop.
As soon as I entered, someone greeted me warmly: "Do you want to buy ready-to-wear or make it to order?" ”
"I'll take a look first, you can go and get busy." Niu raised his eyes and looked at the flowers, and felt that every piece of clothing was very good-looking.
After moving a few steps, she pointed to a lilac embroidered garment and asked, "How much is this?" ”
After the shopkeeper quoted the price, Niu Shi was a little hesitant, she didn't expect that a piece of clothing here would cost dozens of taels of silver.
But the woman surnamed Lu, who came in behind her, did not blink an eye, and ordered several ready-to-wear clothes, which cost several hundred taels of silver.
No wonder as soon as the lady entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted her in person, shouting "Mrs. Lu" so cordially.
