Chapter 8: Little Star
Zhang Qining was placed in the Spring Breeze Proud Restaurant by Zhan Sui Yu, and she observed for a few days and found that Shi Niang, the red fox, was indeed doing business, and was a little more human-like than humans.
The other party should also know that she knows that she is a demon, not only does she not hide it, but she always shows her red tail to tease herself in private.
It's really a big-hearted demon, and you're not afraid to find a talisman and burn her?
"Burned me?" Shi Niang was not afraid to laugh when she heard this, dragged the tail in her skirt around Zhang Qining's waist, and teased her daily: "You try, see if you can burn me?" The only one who can burn me isβ" She spoke halfway, her tone ambiguous and reverie.
Zhang Qi Ningpi pushed her away with a smile and brushed her body: "Shameless old fox, I'm ashamed of you." β
Since she doesn't hide it, she has nothing to hide, and she can't help but reveal a bit of her true temperament when she speaks: lazy, annoying, tired, and staying.
"Well, that's what a fox is. A little ghost who doesn't understand the joy of life. Shi Niang pinched her thin waist and threw a wink at her.
During this period, she was curious about how Zhan Sui Yu met Shi Niang alone.
Shi Niang said: "I used to be a drinking friend, and once he saw the fox's tail and simply admitted it." β
I can't see how old You Shi Niang is, but from the skin, she is in her early twenties.
Zhan Suiyu is young and graceful after all, and it is not strange to have a young and beautiful confidant, Zhang Qining said that it is completely understandable.
The days have passed like this for seven or eight days, which is good, but Zhang Qining is still thinking about when to run away.
One day, Liao Zicheng brought two young catchers to the spring breeze, and the yamen wanted to buy a batch of spring wine, and they came to buy it today.
The restaurant's business is still as good as ever.
"I can smell the smell of Shi Niang's wine from afar, but I'm hungry!" Chen Xiu, a young catcher, said happily, his eyes turned around the store, and finally landed on a person. "Hey, when did the spring breeze become proud?"
After speaking, he walked straight towards the counter and said, "The boss lady is also bright and moving today, enjoy the wine and eat?" From time to time, his eyes drifted to the newcomer.
Shi Niang dialed the abacus twice, looked up at him and smiled at him: "Call the shopkeeper, where did the boss come from without a boss?" The leather boy talks all day long, and eats at the same time. β
She scooped a spoonful of wine and pushed it to his hand along with the plate, Chen Xiu stared at the wine and smiled, first poured it into her mouth, and then slowly tasted it with the wine saucer. "Thank you, shopkeeper! It smells so good! β
"Shopkeeper, you're going to lose money by doing this." Liao Zicheng came over and quipped.
"I can't lose, Liao Zhutou, Chen Lin, you two can also take a bite." As she was talking, she scooped two plates from the wine jar next to her and handed them over, and the two of them didn't shirk it.
"Good wine!"
Liao Zicheng boasted, Chen Lin next to him was obviously stuffy, and he just nodded after taking a sip, but his eyes were already drunk with the aroma of wine.
Shi Niang was very happy to hear this, "That's good." Her eyebrows and eyes were curled with a smile, and the corners of her eyes were raised into a slit, stretching out a piece of style under the embellishment of rouge. You're here to get the spring wine, right? β
"Well, it's best to take it now. Is it convenient? β
"The old rules, well prepared. Ah Da, Xiao Er, take out the wine in the back and put it on the car. β
She shouted to the back, and a confident voice replied to her: "Okay, shopkeeper!" β
Chen Xiu leaned against the counter and stared at the other side for a long time. "I said shopkeeper, when are you going to recruit new people?"
The man had a white dress with goose-yellow half-arms, a thin willow smoky ribbon hanging down from his waist, and his long hair was curled in a bun on both sides, with two small hairpins. It is slightly small and gives it a refined feel.
She turned around, and the eyes under Qi bangs were extremely good-looking, like an unborn spirit in the mountains and forests, her skin was snow-white without any flaws, and she looked more like a finely carved porcelain man from a distance.
Slowly approached and looked again, the little girl's appearance was just right, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were delicate.
The vermilion powder is not deep and even, and the idle flowers are faint spring.
No matter how you look at it, she shouldn't be allowed to come out and show her face, but the flowers that should be hidden in the warm pavilion and pampered.
"What a little beauty......" Chen Xiu couldn't help but turn his head and ask Shi Niang, his eyes were reluctant to leave Zhang Qining. Shopkeeper, where did you get such a sign - man? Or are you a relative? β
Shi Niang smiled, their litter couldn't give birth to a cub like her.
"Shi Niang, two pots of peach blossom stuff, one pot of thyme."
"Okay."
The girl walked over, and her voice carried the vitality and vitality unique to a girl, like a freshly picked green fruit, crisp and sweet.
She turned her head to see Liao Zicheng, "Liao catches the head? β
The two people of the yamen were stunned, Chen Xiu looked at Liao Zicheng and said, "What? Boss, do you know each other? β
Liao Zicheng looked at her and was stunned for a while before he recognized who it was, but he didn't expect that the other party had changed so much when he changed into bright clothes.
He nodded and said to Zhang Qining, "It turns out that Gongzi brought you here." Miss Zhang, how are you doing? β
Zhang Qining nodded and hummed, "It's okay." If it weren't for your son-in-law, I would have been better. β
"Huh? I can't help it. Liao Zicheng laughed dryly, and it was clear from the previous few times that this girl sometimes has a ruthless temperament.
"Qi Ning, send it to that table."
Zhang Qining took the wine from Shi Niang's hand and agreed casually.
"Childe asked her to stay here?" Liao Zicheng asked.
Shi Niang: "You said her?" Ang, you Zhan Gongzi sent me to take care of it, and I'm quite satisfied. What's wrong? β
Zhan Suiyu explained it himself, so it should be no problem. "It's okay, it's okay."
Chen Xiu posted it curiously and gossiped and asked, "Boss, boss." This girl still has something to do with Childe? Let's hear it. β
Liao Zicheng: "I met by chance, why do you care so much?" I want to know and ask Childe myself. β
Chen Lin was not interested in this matter, he drank the wine on the plate and returned it to Shi Niang. "Thanks, it's delicious."
Shi Niang smiled: "Do you still want it?" β
Chen Lin shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Burn the knife and help me keep a pot, and I'll get it when I get it back." β
"The old man finished drinking again?"
"Hmm."
Shi Niang responded sharply, "Okay, you can get it when you go back." Old customer, I'll give you a new pot of wine to taste, and tell me how it tastes next time. β
Chen Lin: "Well, okay. β
Shi Niang seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted at Zhang Qining: "Qi Ning." β
"Huh?"
"You and Liao Zhutou and they went on a trip, and they just sent the order account to Mr. Xu in the Yamen account office."
"Got it."
"No, I'll just take it, and I'll send it back to the shopkeeper when I go back. What do you think? β
Chen Xiu volunteered to stand up and serve the beauty, he was full of energy. He turned around and winked at Zhang Qining in a friendly manner, thinking that he could come back to see her again when he came back to deliver the account book.
How could he hide this little Jiujiu from Shi Niang's fiery eyes, she said directly: "No, since the spring breeze is proud, and the yamen is an old customer, I won't see you when I look up in the future, it's better to contact it early." β
Everyone said so, and Chen Xiu couldn't say anything. "Okay then."
Suzhou Mansion
Zhan Suiyu is followed by a young catcher, who is upright, and at first glance he is the type of person who does things neatly. They had just returned from outside.
Walking through a narrow road with lanterns, Zhan Suiyu instructed a few things, and suddenly saw two people passing by under the opposite porch.
"Liao catches the head."
Liao Zicheng looked back and saw that it was Zhan Sui Yu. Immediately stop and wait for him, "Childe." β
Zhan Sui Yu walked towards them, and Xu Hao, who was catching fast behind him, also followed.
Zhang Qining raised her head and found that Zhan Suiyu was looking at her, and immediately looked away.
Zhan Suiyu was slightly stunned, this girl is really beautiful to clean up.
That look of dignity is like something, almost too lazy to skip over you, and when you don't want to take care of it, you won't even give you a look, if you want her to turn her head to take a look, you have to coax it in a good voice. From this point of view, her family's family background should not be said to be good, but quite good.
She had just seen herself, but she deliberately didn't see it. Thinking of this, Zhan Sui Yu was inexplicably a little unhappy.
Liao Zicheng saw Zhan Suiyu looking at Zhang Qining, thinking that Zhang Qining had changed her dress, he didn't recognize who she was, and he just wanted to help explain. "Childe didn't recognize it, she was-"
"Zhang Qining."
Liao Zicheng was embarrassed, it turned out that Gongzi knew. He didn't recognize it immediately when he saw it, and he reacted for a while, Childe is really powerful.
"What are you doing here?"
This was asked by Zhan Suiyu, Xu Hao glanced in the direction they came from, and said, "It seems to be an account room over there." Look at the girl with the account book, is she here to find my father? Oh, my dad is Mr. Bookkeeper, Xu..."
Before Xu Hao finished speaking, he was suffocated by Zhan Suiyu's eyes.
Zhan Suiyu frowned, can this kind of thing be seen by the son? Who told you to talk nonsense here?
Xu Hao didn't know where to make the son unhappy, so he could only shut his mouth and stand aside innocently.
Zhan Suiyu: "Shi Niang asked you to come?" β
"Hmm."
Zhang Qining lowered his head and said in his heart: "Sure enough, I deliberately didn't look at myself." β
"Looks like you're doing well there." Looking down, I saw her hand wrapped in gauze. Why wasn't the injury completely healed that day?
Zhang Qining: "It's okay, it's better if I let me go." β
"The beauty of thinking. Done? β
Zhang Qining nodded. Why is he talking so much nonsense?
So Zhan Suiyu said to Xu Hao and Liao Zicheng: "You guys go busy, I still have something to go out." β
Get out? Didn't Childe just come back from outside? "Childe, you-"
Zhan Suiyu looked at Xu Hao: "Explain your business, do it as soon as possible." After hearing this, Xu Hao swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Gone."
Zhan Suiyu walked in front, and Zhang Qining stuck out his tongue at him angrily in the back and followed.
Later, Xu Hao asked Liao Zicheng: "Shi Niang, the new arrival?" β
"Well, pretty, isn't it?"
Xu Hao nodded and replied pertinently: "Quite beautiful." β
Zhan Suiyu who heard their conversation: "......"
Zhang Qining looked at him and was puzzled: "Why don't you leave?" β
Zhan Suiyu looked back at her deeply and frowned: "It's not been peaceful outside recently, don't run out if you have nothing to do." Another sentence added: "Go back and change your clothes, otherwise you will regret it." β
Hearing others praise her for her good looks, he suddenly felt a little awkward in his heart, and he actually felt that Zhang Qining's original black outfit was not bad.
βοΌβ Zhang Qining looked him up and down strangely, was it her delusion? Although Zhan Suiyu's tone was a little bad, the concern in his words could still be heard.
Zhang Qining is a good guy, so he doesn't care about him.
"Oh."
Seeing that she became well-behaved, like combing a cat, Zhan Suiyu couldn't help laughing, and that little unhappiness was gone. "It's good to know."
Reached out and flicked it on her head. A picture suddenly appeared in her consciousness as if he had taken advantage of the situation to enter Zhang Qining's mind.
"Your Majesty, the county lord is not lightly injured."
Xiao Chulan held the pen and did not take his eyes off the rice paper under his hand. "How did it hurt?"
The big eunuch is a little difficult to speak, and this reason is really embarrassing. "This... Because the county lord... And the son of the prime minister's family, that... Fell in love with the same horse. The two of them had a big fight, and that's why..."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and a drop of ink was faint on the paper, and the painting was ruined. "And Lee Sang's son?"
The big eunuch also felt incredible, the prime minister's tutor has always been good, and Li Gongzi is even more famous, why did he fight with the lord of Pingning County? The reason is still for a horse? It's ridiculous.
I don't know what Xiao Chulan thought, he laughed unknowingly, crumpled the rice paper into a ball and threw it aside, and said, "He deserves it." β
This is talking about the county lord, the great eunuch thought to himself. Indeed, what is this like what a woman did, and what is this like what a county lord did?
The great eunuch shook his head and withdrew. Only the young emperor was left in the main hall, and the ambergris incense on the side rose up, gradually blurring the background.
"Zhang Qining, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
Zhan Suiyu walked halfway and found that the person hadn't followed, so he was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Qining raised his head and frowned, his expression was unexpectedly serious. Once can be said to be accidental, twice can be said to be a coincidence, and three times can be explained? "Gongzi Zhan, dare to ask if there is a surname Xiao in your ancestor?"
"Xiao? No, what's wrong? β
Zhang Qining returned to normal, took a step back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm probably dreaming." Zhan Gongzi, please. β
Zhan Sui Yu: "..."
