Chapter 178: Seeing off in red
The housekeeper turned around in the twilight and saw a pretty woman standing behind him, although she was just combing her hair in an ordinary bun and wearing plain clothes, she couldn't hide Sheng Xue's skin and the fragrance between her eyebrows.
"Miss Qian." The butler bowed slightly, and the smile on his face became more and more embarrassing.
Qian Qianqian lowered her eyes and smiled, two shallow pear vortices loomed at the corners of her mouth, she said so casually when she was in the General's Mansion, but she didn't expect Xiao Mohan to really send someone to investigate.
"Boss, bring me a drawer of buns for this guest."
Qian Qianqian's red lips were lightly raised, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and as she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the housekeeper, and then put the ten cents on the table.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The middle-aged couple who sold steamed buns were also clever people, and without much further ado, they turned around and loaded the buns.
The housekeeper lowered his head, Hou was on the side, in a dilemma, he was not here to eat steamed buns, but he couldn't speak out in front of Qian Qianqian, for a while, the look on his face could be described as wonderful.
"Dad, mother, I'm back, I'm hungry and want to eat steamed buns."
At this moment, an immature child jumped up and down from the front, about seven or eight years old, wearing a blue gown, wearing a top hat, and holding a scroll in his hand.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged couple also squeezed out a smile and stuffed the bun in their hands to the housekeeper.
"This family's buns are a must-have in the city, take them back to the general to taste, but you have to remember, you can't let him be full, first, it's not good for the stomach, and second, if he is full, he should be nosy."
Qian Qianqian gave the housekeeper a look, the smile on her lips intensified, and her eyes were clear, as if they were a mountain spring.
"Yes." The housekeeper replied lightly, although he was respectful and polite on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that this little girl in front of him was not only courageous, but also so sharp-tongued, he was really not a simple character.
are all people who understand, the housekeeper can hear the meaning of Qian Qianqian's words, in the whole world, there is only Qian Qianqian who can mock Xiao Mohan for having nothing to do.
In this way, the remaining guards, coachmen, and shopkeepers don't have to bother to check anymore, they are just an excuse for Qian Qianqian to prevaricate Xiao Mohan.
Xiao Mohan is about to set off tomorrow, although Qian Qianqian's face is light and light, in fact, she is still worried and reluctant.
She often reminded herself that she had to break off with Xiao Mohan, but how could the entanglement of warmth in the past two years be easily cut off?
Back at the ready-to-wear shop, Qian Qianqian sat alone in the corner, rubbing the brush surnamed Xiao given to her by Xiao Mohan in her hand, and biting her lower lip lightly, as if she had lost her soul.
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, a few low coughs sounded behind Qian Qianqian, and she turned around suddenly, only to see Mu Tianyue appear behind her.
Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, and subconsciously hid the brush in her cuffs, but she was still seen clearly by Mu Tianyue.
"He sent it?" Mu Tianyue lifted his thin lips lightly, and his tone was gentle, although he didn't say it, everyone could hear what he meant.
"Hmm." Qian Qianqian nodded.
"As the saying goes, it's rude to come and go, since he gave you this, you should also return the favor."
Mu Tianyue raised his head, his hands behind his back, and he was dressed in a moon-white robe, which made him look clear and elegant, but there was always a shrewdness of a businessman in his eyes.
"A return gift?"
Qian Qianqian was a little surprised, when she came back from the bun shop, she had been in a mess in her heart, and she couldn't find a clue at all, and she didn't expect this layer.
"You're clever on weekdays, why are you stupid now? The general goes out on the expedition, the road is far away, the mountains and rivers are heavy, most of the time you can only eat the dry food you bring with you, you are a good cook, if you can prepare some food for the general, it is not in vain that the general will give you such a generous gift. ”
Mu Tianyue immediately clicked, just now he only needed a glance and saw that the brush was worth a lot of money, so for this reason, he would definitely be able to say that he could move money.
"This, is it appropriate?"
Qian Qianqian is still a little hesitant, she is always in a fiery temperament on weekdays, and only when she comes to Xiao Mohan's name will she become so forward-looking.
"What's wrong? You and the general are still friends, the general will definitely die for a lifetime when he goes on the expedition, as a friend, prepare some food to see him off, what's wrong? ”
Mu Tianyue said very firmly, which made Qian Qianqian's vain heart settle down a lot, Mu Tianyue said it well, as a friend, Xiao Mohan went on the expedition, she really had to express it.
Qian Qianqian went straight home, and took out a bag of tea leaves that had been dried not long ago from the cabinet, this tea was picked to dried, she did it herself, and originally wanted to take it to the ready-to-wear shop to entertain distinguished guests in a few days, but now it is cheap Xiao Mohan.
It's just that these teas are not enough, while the younger siblings are out and there is no one at home, Qian Qianqian entered the space, took out a lot of food and meat from it, and was stared at by Xiao Jiuqian for a while.
Qian Qianqian made all the meat into jerky, and personally went to the yard to pick a lot of fresh wildflowers, and made pastries with flour and honey.
In this way, this pastry has the sweetness of honey and the fragrance of wild flowers, sweet but not greasy, and easy to preserve, which is most suitable for people who travel long distances to satisfy their hunger.
"What does it smell like, it's so fragrant!"
Qian Fen and Qian Xuan came back from outside, and as soon as they walked to the door, they were attracted by the fragrance in the kitchen.
"Sister, what are you doing deliciously? Let's try it too. ”
Qian Xuan was young, and as soon as he smelled the smell of food, his stomach growled, he smashed his mouth, kept swallowing saliva, and his eyes were shining.
"General Xiao is going on an expedition, these are all sent to him, don't worry about you gluttons."
Qian Qianqian turned her head, she was still wearing an apron on her body, coarse linen clothes, and she was full of fireworks, and put the dried meat into the bag one after another in her hand, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"The eldest sister is really good to the general." Qian Xuan pouted, muttered in a low voice, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"The general's expedition is intended to pacify the border, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and as ordinary people, we cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, so we can only do our part."
Qian Qianqian's eyebrows are delicate, and she is right-hearted, but she knows in her heart that even if she says it fairly, what drives her to give Xiao Mohan her heart is her concern for Xiao Mohan.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, when Xiaohui comes back later, we will definitely watch him and don't let him touch these things."
After all, Qian Fen is older and quite sensible, and she has never caused trouble for Qian Qianqian, and this time Qian Qianqian said so, she was also very concerned.
"That couldn't be better."
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were glowing with a hint of softness, she was leaning forward, and her every move was very serious and careful, for fear that there would be a little mistake, but she really looked like a peasant woman who wanted to send her husband far away.
was busy until midnight, Qian Qianqian stretched her waist, her younger siblings and Qian's mother had already rested, after a prison disaster, Qian's mother had a lot of trouble with Qian Qianqian, even if she was at home on weekdays, she didn't give Qian Qianqian a smile.
But Qian Qianqian didn't think so, Qian's mother was simple-minded and weak, she often had to do business outside, if she didn't teach Qian's mother a lesson, Qian's mother would sell her home while she was away, it would be troublesome.
So in order to let her younger siblings sleep peacefully and grow up safely, if Mother Qian doesn't understand and has to hate her, then hate it, anyway, mother and daughter are mother and daughter after all, and they can't have much deep hatred.
Qian Qianqian went back to her room lightly, but she couldn't fall asleep over and over, through the half-hidden wooden window, she saw the round moon in the sky, the moonlight was cold under the dark night, the moon was bent and thin, and it was not lucky at all.
In fact, this night, Qian Qianqian was not the only one who couldn't sleep, in the general's mansion, Xiao Mohan stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the same bright moon as Qian Qianqian.
He is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, the general's mansion has been busy for a few days, and he has already prepared his suits for him, this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a year and a half, everything in this city has been arranged, only Qian Qianqian, let him rest assured, worried.
"I don't know if she will leave tomorrow morning, and she won't be able to come back."
Xiao Mohan asked silently in his heart, and after a while, he gave himself an answer: "She is so heartless, I'm afraid she doesn't even know when I will set off." ”
The sky had just turned white, the chickens in the village only crowed, Qian Qianqian had already gotten up, after a simple grooming, she wanted to change her clothes, took out a goose yellow skirt from the cabinet, and was about to change it on, when she suddenly remembered what Xiao Mohan had said.
Xiao Mohan once said that she looked good in white, but today is the day of Xiao Mohan's expedition, if she sends her off in white, she will be too depressed and unlucky.
So Qian Qianqian hesitated again and again, but still picked a big red dress, red and festive, symbolizing the triumphant return, Xiao Mohan is the general of Xiao Guo, she is now a citizen of Xiao Guo, and she should look forward to Xiao Mohan's victory.
Changing into a dress, Qian Qianqian smeared some fat powder on her face again, covering the dark green under her eyes due to last night's insomnia, a small face with a big palm, round eyes and red lips, which looked more and more pretty and smart.
After dressing up, Qian Qianqian took the things she prepared yesterday and went straight out.
It was still early, my siblings, and Mother Qian were still asleep, and there was no one in the whole town, only wild dogs living in the streets barking at the crimson Raider that passed by.
Qian Qianqian walked to the door of the ready-to-wear shop, but she didn't expect Mu Tianyue to be waiting here, looking at Qian Qianqian's dress, Mu Tianyue's face flashed a subtle smile.
"If it's really a woman who pleases herself, I see you on weekdays, you are very arrogant, like a man, I didn't expect this to change my clothes, and apply grease and powder, I am really a beautiful girl, the general will never forget it."
"You are less poor, the general's expedition this time is for the stability of Xiao Guo, I am dressed in red, and I am also happy for Xiao Guo, not on purpose to show anyone."
Qian Qianqian raised her head, her clear eyes were full of stubbornness, and although her face was pretty, she always showed a spicy energy, as if telling everyone: she is not easy to mess with.
"Say whatever you want, but I have to remind you that the mouth can deceive people, but the heart can't even deceive itself."
Mu Tianyue chuckled, as if she had seen through Qian Qianqian, and her inquiring eyes made Qian Qianqian feel uncomfortable, and she just wanted to run away.
