Chapter 72: Cooking Wine (1)
At this time, Zhao Ji, the shopkeeper of the rice grain shop, had already walked out, he was in his thirties, with a shrewd look, but his eyes were full of vigilance, and he observed Haginiang's expression vigilantly.
He saluted, and stood aside, waiting for an answer.
Hagi Niang asked, "Why don't you sell rice in your rice grain shop?" ”
Zhao Ji replied with an honest face: "Back to the girl's words, the situation is uneasy at this time, and it is common for the rice shop to not be able to enter the rice, not just because it can't be opened today." ”
Hagi Niang was dumbfounded, her eyes were dark about this purchase, and she tried to ask: "Where do you usually buy rice and grain?" Since the one that is being bought now has no grain to sell, why not find a few more big Zhuangzi to buy? ”
Zhao Ji obviously didn't think about this problem, he opened his mouth and said: "We have always been looking for the Zheng family in Danyang County to buy rice, and we have never contacted other big sellers. ”
Hagi Niang can guess this answer, maybe this is the Zheng family's obscure method of collecting money when he was in charge of the Zang family's affairs.
She said, "In that case, I won't ask you anything else, you can take out the account books of your shop and let me see it." ”
Zhao Ji resisted even more, he shirked and said: "This account book has been ignored for a long time, and the girl probably can't understand it, so can I send it to the girl after I sort it out?" ”
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I still need to peel off the cocoon and find it slowly.
Hagi Niang said with a smile: "It's okay." Then he asked, "Is it your wife who brought us in just now?" I looked at her with a familiar look. ”
Zhao Ji smiled: "How could it be, she has long been out of Zang Mansion on an errand." ”
Hagi Niang glanced at Mother Li pointedly, but Mother Li was still at a loss.
It would be a bit rude to ask again, and there was no hurry in this matter, so Hagi Niang got up and said goodbye, and told Zhao Ji to send the account books as soon as possible.
The carriage of the Zang family drove towards the Ruan family's house on Suzaku Street, and when she passed by Si Xun Hall, Hagi Niang subconsciously stopped the car, hesitating to go in and take a look.
For Huan Xuan, how to explain the words of Caitang last time? The whole thing was so bizarre that she wanted to discuss it with him. It's just that Xie Yan is involved, so it's inconvenient to say it too clearly, and maybe he's not interested. Hagi Niang was entangled, it would be okay to report his safety to him. If he is not him, why should others care about his well-being? This thousand turns of mind is really sad.
At this time, a pretty girl ran over and knocked on her carriage, Hagi Niang poked her head out, and the girl smiled and said, "Our master asks you to come over and talk about it." He gestured to a carriage on the other side.
Hagi Niang looked at it, and the emblem of the magnolia flower was obviously the carriage of the Xie family.
She blushed and said embarrassedly, "No need, I still have something to do......"
The pretty girl didn't expect her to refuse, so she hurriedly begged: "Girl, you better go over for a while, otherwise my master will blame me for not being able to speak......
Hagi didn't obey the call to get out of the car and walked over, and the maid opened the curtain for her.
"Huh?" Hagi Niang let out a surprised voice.
It turned out that it was not Xie Yan in the car, but Xie Ying with bright eyes and bright teeth and a smile on her face.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but also a faint sense of loss.
Xie Ying observed the words, and said deliberately: "Oh, I'm really sorry, it's me, not my brother, I disappointed the Zang girl, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Hagi Niang was told the central matter, her face turned even redder, and she couldn't help pinching her: "You are so bad, people hate you the most~"
That coquettish look is very cute.
Two women of almost the same age, each with their own beauty, each with their own intelligence, although their personalities are different, but both of them admire each other's demeanor very much.
Women's friendship is different from men's, women are sensual animals, look at the right eye, how to see how to like it.
One is the dearest sister of the beloved, and the other is the favorite sister-in-law of the brother-in-law, Xie Ying and Hagi Niang both look at each other and are pleasing to the eye.
Xie Ying asked directly: "Why have you been staying at home, you don't come to play with me when I post to you." She pretended to be angry, tugged at her sleeve and said, "If I hadn't happened to want to come to Si Xuntang today, I don't know when I would see you again." ”
Hagi Niang hurriedly apologized: "It's really rude, it's just that I have a lot of trivial things at home recently, and I can't get out of my body, and I will come to Jiankang today to check the accounts of the shop at home." ”
Xie Ying was very curious: "Why does your shop ask you to check the accounts in person?" My family's shop is all in charge of the big steward, and even my brother doesn't care about it. ”
Hagi Niang looked at her suspiciously, didn't she marry into the Wang family, why didn't the Wang family's middle feed be handed over to Xie Ying?
It's not easy to ask this directly, so she said cryptically: "Madame said that you are laughing, you are now the patriarch of the Wang family, and you have much more things to take care of than me." ”
Speaking of the Wang family, Xie Ying was not happy. She said unhappily: "Don't call me Mrs., just call me Xie Ying or Sister Ying." Let's not talk about the Wang family, there is no good person in their family. ”
Hagi Niang couldn't speak anymore, so she could only remain silent.
Xie Ying looked at her and said on a whim: "I just met you today, and it happened to be snowing, let's drink together." In the past, my father and my brother used to chat over wine on snowy nights, and I enjoyed it very much. ”
Hagi Niang was about to refuse, but Xie Ying looked at her innocently: "Sister, I married into the Wang family alone, how lonely and helpless, I finally went back to my parents' house once, I just hope that my sister can talk to me, my sister knows that I am very bitter in my heart......"
Such a weak beauty, such pure eyes, it is really irresistible, Hagi Niang swallowed the words of refusal, and nodded with a smile.
Xie Ying was very happy, and hurriedly asked people to call Zangfu's carriage to follow her carriage, while busily taking out her beloved snacks and pastries to offer treasures, like an innocent child, wanting to share her love with the people she liked.
"Wen'er Mo'er, quickly soak my rose dew for the Zang girl."
"This is called 'milk cake', it's my brother's favorite dim sum, you can try it."
"This is my favorite candy, sesame chew candy, I have to take it with me when I go out, eat one when I'm hungry, you eat it, it's fragrant."
Xie Ying feels that she is a mature adult, so she naturally has to take care of Haginiang, the "little sister", and Hagi Niang has no mother since she was a child, except for Li's mother, no one has ever coaxed her like this, she enjoys such pampering, and her heart is soft, like snow in the sun, turning into wisps of warm water.
She picked up a piece of candy and chewed it, it was sweet and fragrant, much like the kraft candy of later generations, and she said sincerely, "It's delicious." ”
Looking at the way she liked it, Xie Ying's eyes smiled like Yue Ya'er.
