Chapter 9: A Blessing in Disguise

The coachman who accidentally drew someone was a little unbearable, so he had to whisper to the people in the carriage to inform him of the situation. "Sir, madam, there's a mess ahead, it seems to have something to do with the old lady......"

A middle-aged man came out of the carriage, Chu Junxi quietly glanced at it, this person had orange luck on his body, hoping that he had found the right person! "What are you entangled in here? Why did you, little girl, stop our carriage? ”

Chu Junxi looked like he was crying, "Please make the decision for us!" We are the people of the village, and a few days ago, the servants outside the Fang Yuan took a fancy to the freshness of our family's dishes, so they decided to let us send fifty cabbages to the Fang Mansion today as ingredients for the old lady's birthday banquet. Unexpectedly, I met those two splashes on the road, and I wanted to rob them...... also kept saying that they belonged to the Tian family. I don't know who is who, but I know that if you agree, you must send it......"

Chu Junxi can mention the Tian family, if there is indeed a conflict between these two families, then the other party will definitely point the finger at the two scoundrels.

"The Tian family? Which Tian family are you? "When the lady in the carriage heard about the Tian family, she also opened the curtain of the carriage, and her face was full of indignation." The Tian family's unpopular goods, my old man's birthday, do you still want to make people unhappy? ”

Although the lady was asking, she was already sure that the Tian family was causing trouble. Glancing at the injured Chu Junxi next to him, Mrs. felt pity. "Poor boy, did you hit you just now? Don't worry, child, since we are doing things for our family, then we will not let you be bullied! “

Chu Junxi nodded, shrunk aside, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qi Ran also followed Chu Junxi and stood over, looking at her wounds, his eyes full of distress. If I could have been a little faster just now......

"Madame, why did you come down? I'll just take care of it......" The old man looked very helpless, as if he didn't want his wife to get involved.

"Why can't I come down? Father's birthday today, if it weren't for the procrastination, we wouldn't have arrived today! Today, when I meet these goods of the Tian family, how can I swallow this breath? "Madame seems to be very angry, but she is not too presumptuous because she is outside.

"Okay, okay, what do you say about this?" The old man comforted his wife softly, and he was not displeased.

The two officials on the side were already sweating profusely, although these two did not come often, but they also knew these two. "My lord, this ...... We didn't want to embarrass the three of them, we were just interrogating, in fact, we also felt that these two people were acting sneaky and suspicious! ”

"You know what to do! These two people need to be taught a good lesson! The gentle old man just now suddenly turned into a majestic and solemn appearance again, and reprimanded the two officials.

Originally, it was only possible to see that these two people had a certain identity, but now it seems that at least in this Qingshui Town, this couple has a very high status, and they should be the daughters and sons-in-law of Fang Yuanwai's family.

After staring at the two officials and escorting them away, the lady returned to her amiable appearance. "Little girl, if you want to go to Fang's house, come with us. You sit in our carriage, and let the men do the work. ”

Of course, it's good to be able to hitchhike, but Chu Junxi always feels a little embarrassed. Especially now that she is a broken peasant girl, she still has to keep some distance from these dignitaries.

"It's okay, I just like girls, especially cute and brave little girls like you. Besides, it is also our fault that you were whipped on your hand, so we should make amends for your sins, okay? ”

Chu Junxi couldn't shirk it, so he had to follow the carriage, while Chu's father and Qi Ran followed behind with cabbage. With the carriage on the road, nothing happens along the way.

Mrs. has been talking to Chu Junxi, and she did not shy away from saying that she once had a daughter, who unfortunately died when she was a teenager, so now she always likes girls very much.

Chu Junxi's heart can't help but be warm, many people will feel that they are monsters when they see their eyes, although she doesn't care about other people's opinions, but when she really encounters a completely unconditional time that she doesn't care about her eyes, it's another feeling.

When he arrived at Fang Yuanwai's house, the housekeeper greeted him with a happy face. "Miss, why are you here! The old man is also in a hurry! I've been reading the girl's aunt in my mouth! Why didn't the young master come along? ”

"That kid has just taken office as a new official, and he's so busy, let's come first, he said, when the things in hand are done, he will immediately hurry up and celebrate his grandfather's birthday!" When the lady heard the butler ask about her son, she had a proud expression on her face. Although the old man didn't speak, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"By the way, butler, you find someone to get a bottle of bone-setting medicine for this little girl. They are here to deliver food to the house, just now they met two splashes of the Tian family on the road, and they want to detain things, but fortunately they met us, otherwise Dad's banquet will go wrong! The little girl in the dispute is a little injured, you arrange it, I have to go in and see the old man. ”

The little girl on the side of the road was still not as important as her father, and the lady hurried into the door after she finished her instructions.

"A few people, please come in, since they are helping to deliver the birthday banquet of our Fang family, they are our guests." The housekeeper politely invited the three of them to the mansion, and then began to busy with various things.

It didn't take long for a little maid to come over, and Chu Junxi was taken to the guest room to rub the medicine, and after wiping it, the bottle of medicine was also directly given to Chu Junxi. In fact, the one I suffered was not serious, although it hurt, but there was only a red bruise, even if I didn't rub the medicine for a few days, it should be fine. But this bone-setting medicine is a good thing, and it will always be useful when you take it home.

Chu Junxi was taken back after wiping the medicine, and Chu's father and Qi Ran were also counting and settling with the people in the kitchen.

"Your dish is really good, if there is such a good dish in the future, just bring it to our house! I received a total of fifty-five cabbages from you today, and our Fang Mansion doesn't like to take advantage, and today is the old lady's birthday banquet, so I must give you a neat calculation! It's a total of one hundred and sixty-five dollars, and I'll take you to the account office to settle the money! ”

Chu Junxi followed Chu's father to the account room happily to withdraw money, and he didn't notice Qi Ran's somewhat depressed mood behind him. Qi Ran could only sigh, after such an experience today, why did she still look so happy, and she didn't know how the whip went, she didn't even cry out in pain.

"Fifty-five cabbages, a total of one hundred and sixty-five yuan, you can collect them." The bookkeeper first took out a bunch of copper coins and counted them, then strung them up and gave them to Father Chu, and then took out three strings of money from the cabinet and handed them one by one. "This is the happy money for the old lady's birthday, no matter what you come to give, you will give each person a hundred dollars, you carefully collect it."

"Thank you, Old Lady Fang! I wish the old man happiness such as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan! "Of course you have to say good things when you take the money, Chu Junxi is definitely a blessing from the heart, at least after contact, the Fang family, from the master to the servants, is still a relatively friendly person.

When he left from Fangfu, Chu's father was still thanking him, and Chu Junxi pulled Qi Ran to walk ahead. Chu Junxi wanted to jump up happily today, the Fang family is really too generous, a hundred yuan in their village, that is money that many people can't earn for a whole month!

"Brother Aran, I'm really happy today! It's a lot of money, and you can buy some things with this money. ”

Chu Junxi waited for a long time and didn't get a response, only to find that Qi Ran was depressed somehow. "Brother Aran, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Qi Ran shook his head and pointed to Chu Junxi's arm again.

"Are you worried about my hands?" Chu Junxi recalled that there was such a thing, and he forgot about it with joy just now. "It's okay, don't worry, I just wiped the medicine, it doesn't hurt anymore, and the medicine for their big family is really good!"

Qi Ran smiled reluctantly, still annoyed that he didn't have time to hold Chu Junxi at that time. Qi Ran even began to wonder if it was really good for him to hide his clumsiness like this, his mother's health was not good, and he couldn't take good care of her, and he injured Chu Junxi today.

But Qi Ran can only think about it, at least for now, he can only do this, which is what his mother wants.

Originally, Chu Junxi proposed that everyone go buy some meat, eat a good meal, and ask Qi Ran to call Aunt Qi with him, but Qi Ran refused, so Chu Junxi could only give up. However, the meat was still bought, and I picked a piece of lean meat the size of a palm and spent twenty yuan. Chu's father was distressed, but Chu Junxi persuaded him: If you want to be happy in time, your younger brothers and sisters are so thin, you really need to eat a little good!

After Chu Junxi went home, he told him what happened today, and the two little guys were nervous and excited when they heard it, praising their sister for all kinds of goodness.

However, Chu's mother was not very happy when she heard it, and even took the rolling pin in her hand and was about to beat Chu's father. "What's the matter with you? The child went out with you, how could he still be injured? Are you just watching your daughter being beaten? ”

Chu Junxi hurriedly went to hug his cheap mother, "Mother, don't be angry, my father didn't coax me at that time, he was dealing with those two scoundrels and officials!" I was beaten by myself accidentally~ And I was also drugged in Fangfu, it's okay! ”

Mother Chu still couldn't help but wipe her eyes, "You kid, you didn't dare to say anything before, and you didn't dare to go out of the door, but now you are so bold!" I'd rather be cowardly and get into trouble for nothing. ”

"Mother, this is not right, I didn't dare to do anything before, and someone still bullied me! This has nothing to do with my boldness, after all, people think they are higher than us. Mother, don't worry! I will definitely work harder in the future to let you live a good life sooner! ”

Looking at the couple who relieved themselves today, Chu Junxi became even more determined in this idea, if you want to survive in this world, you must come out of the way! Either you have the power or you have the money!
