Chapter 23: The dilemma
"Miss Qian?" Seeing that she was in a daze, the old mother asked out loud, and at the same time handed the bowl with ginger soup forward, "It's good for your health." ”
Qian Qianqian relieved herself, hurriedly responded, took the ginger soup, and drank it in small sips. She looked at the old mother through the hot air, and felt that she was kind and kind-eyed, so she drank ginger soup and muttered, "Can you help me find a clean strip of cloth?" ”
After finishing speaking, she felt that her face was hot, and she originally wanted to forget it, but the clothes that Xiao Mohan prepared for her were pure white, and she couldn't see any red, so she only changed half of her clothes.
Originally, the sticky and wet were not so unbearable, but now she can feel a warm rush out when she moves a little, so how can she walk?
If you don't go back, the whole family will have to die in a hurry.
If she was asked to mention this matter to Xiao Mohan, even if the era she came in was not open to this point.
It was probably a pity to see that an old mother was sent at this time, she was a person who came over, and she must have understood.
"What did the girl say?" But the ears don't seem to be very good.
Qian Qianqian put down the bowl and repeated it word by word, with a look of shame on her face, "The original one really can't be used." ”
Seeing this, the old mother immediately understood, nodded repeatedly, and was just about to go out when the door "creaked" open.
Xiao Mohan walked in, "Qian Qianqian! ”
"General!" The old mother was committed to saluting and kept silent.
Xiao Mohan frowned slightly, waved her hand and let her go, and turned to look at Qian Qianqian, his eyes full of questions.
Qian Qianqian's body stiffened, and she hurriedly picked up the bowl, and took several mouthfuls of ginger soup in a row, her eyes dodging, "Why don't you know etiquette at all, and you don't even shout at the door." ”
It's over, he's definitely heard!
What to do, it's a shame on the dead!
"What etiquette do you know?" Didn't he break into his room and look at him clean?
"I, how can I have." Qian Qianqian was so focused on dealing with Kwai Shui that her combat effectiveness plummeted, and she was a little more shy than usual.
Xiao Mohan had never seen Qian Qianqian's twisted and pinched appearance, he felt fresh and in a good mood, so he didn't plan to delve into what she said before, and said in a slow tone: "If you pack up, go back now." ”
"Go back?" Qian Qianqian's body retreated, how could this Xiao Mohan make the most inappropriate decision at the most inappropriate time every time?
"What? Would you like to live here? Xiao Mohan's slightly sarcastic tone stabbed Qian Qianqian's self-esteem, didn't the implication of this mean that she coveted the comfort and warmth of the inn and was unwilling to return to the brick and tile home?
"Not really!" Qian Qianqian opened her mouth to retort, "I can't afford to pay for the room here, and I just wanted to discuss with the shopkeeper to see if I can bill by the hour, or pay him in installments." ”
At this point, Qian Qianqian suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
Could the ancients have understood the meaning of hourly housing and installments? If not, then you can only ......
"Otherwise, I will bother General Lao to borrow some from me first, and I will definitely return them later." The wheat in the space is almost about to be harvested, and it should be able to sell well when it is ground into flour or made into a finished product, after all, she has not seen any other pasta here except noodles, and I am afraid that it has not yet been developed, and she will be able to take a fresh and unique piece when the time comes.
Thinking that there would be a steady stream of silver taels coming in, she smiled, "I shouldn't let the general wait too long." ”
"Do you think I'm going to let you out for two dollars?" Xiao Mohan really didn't understand this woman, obviously she fought with others for three taels of silver, and almost lost her life, but now she is high again.
"This ...... It's not that I think it or not, and it's not that the general wants to come out. "Qian Qianqian has pursued an iron rule since she was a child, that is, she will never let others take it away easily, and she will never take it if she doesn't have her own.
"I accidentally fell into the water, so I need to come to the inn. The general has already saved my life, how can I be embarrassed to let the general bear the responsibility. ”
However, if she had chosen, she would never have come to such a luxurious inn.
It's all to blame on this self-righteous general, who put her on extra debt for no reason.
Thinking of this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes, and she thought that others had just fished herself out of the water, and it was really unreasonable to blame others for the inn they found was too expensive, so she hurriedly swallowed back the sneer that came to her mouth.
"Knock knock" The old mother knocked on the door, and saw Xiao Mohan, who was still standing at the door, hesitated, and the tray that was originally held on her chest couldn't help but retreat.
"This is ......" Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand to take a look, Qian Qianqian couldn't take care of it, rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the white cloth strip, and protected it, "It's all women's household things, and the general doesn't understand." ”
She frowned, her legs bent slightly, how strange and strange the movement was, but the situation forced her to maintain this position, otherwise, maybe the next moment would be "blood spattered on the spot".
Xiao Mo's cold eyes looked her up and down several times, and the folds between his eyebrows deepened.
What the hell is this woman doing?
Is there anything uncomfortable that you don't want to say?
He walked towards Qian Qianqian.
"General!" She raised her hand to stop him from coming over, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Mohan's confused appearance, as if she didn't know anything, everything was her...... Think too much.
Qian Qianqian's face was hotter than before, and in a hurry, she had an idea, pulling her still half-wet pants, "It's, in fact, I haven't completely changed my clothes, okay, I'll go back with you, okay?" ”
This time, the faint pleading in her tone was captured by Xiao Mohan, and then she thought of her previous strangeness.
Xiao Mohan turned his back violently, "You, why didn't you say it earlier!" There seemed to be a bit of shyness in his angry tone.
No way?
Didn't you look like you didn't care about anything before?
The moment Qian Qianqian was stunned, he had already pushed the door away with his sleeves, and the old mother was very discerning, and quickly closed the door.
"Girl, let's put it on."
"Oh!" Qian Qianqian's tense nerves relaxed, and sure enough, she felt a warm gushing out, she looked at her old mother with a wry smile, "Mom, I ......"
The old mother really deserved to know everything, and after a few steps, she walked to the door, "I almost forgot about it." ”
When he came back reflexively, what he was holding in his hand was a basin of clear and clean warm water.
Qian Qianqian was so grateful that she couldn't speak, and she was busy cleaning up, and after she changed into clean and refreshing pants, she felt like she had been reborn.
I really want to call that invincible general back, so as to make up for her cowardice just now.
At this time, in the backyard downstairs of the inn, Xiao Mohan stopped the old mother.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Qian Qianqian's reason sounds reasonable at first glance, but where does she look like she hasn't changed her clothes well?
And the white object that the old mother took in, what is it?
"Miss Qian, are you alright?" He asked, knocking on the side.
The old mother also served in a large family when she was young, and then she went to the inn to beg for a living, and the boss at that time took a fancy to her fast brain, and now although her ears are not bright, other aspects are not inferior to those young people.
She immediately heard the general's true intentions, and asked rhetorically: "The old slave boldly asked, is there a family member in the general's mansion?" ”
Xiao Mohan didn't know why, so he was silent.
The old mother smiled, "Come to think of it, the general has been fighting all year round, I'm afraid that it hasn't been involved yet, and when the general has a marriage match in the future, or accepts a woman in the room, he will naturally understand." ”
She paused, bowed and said, "Please rest assured that Miss Qian is fine." ”
Xiao Mohan looked at the appearance of the old woman in front of him, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything else, since they all said that there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do.
"Alright, you can go down."
"Yes."
As soon as the old woman walked with her front foot, Qian Qianqian's back foot appeared in the courtyard, "General! She waved at him, her face flushed, and she regained her former vigor.
Maybe he's overthinking?
Xiao Mohan said secretly, laughing at himself, and raised his eyes to see Qian Qianqian walking over in white, and he was a little otherworldly.
In the afternoon, when she was choosing clothes for herself, he could see that she liked white, but he didn't know that she was so suitable for white.
"Wear more in the future." He greeted him and dropped a sentence and passed by Qian Qianqian.
Her heart jumped to her throat, and she could hear her own heartbeat clearly.
What's going on?
Isn't she going to be right to this little brat......
Impossible, impossible!
Not to mention that her actual age is almost ten years older than Xiao Mohan, just his style that is the same as the rich second generation is enough to make her despise.
"It must be choking on water, and the brain is deprived of oxygen!" She paused and muttered to herself.
"Not leaving?" Xiao Mohan's voice came from not far behind her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Let's go!" She reflexively trotted over, and saw the edge of the carriage raise her hand to support it, like a nimble rabbit, and got into the car with a "slippery", without looking at Xiao Mohan the whole time.
Xiao Mohan wanted to make a fuss, but when he thought of the things in the inn room, his eyes flashed a little embarrassed, and he didn't speak again.
The horse's hooves "tap and kick", the atmosphere in the carriage is sluggish, where can Qian Qianqian, a person whose body and mouth always have the same movement, be idle.
It didn't take long to break the deadlock and speak: "I went to ask the innkeeper, general, have you settled the bill?" ”
"Don't say those ridiculous things again." Xiao Mohan blocked Qian Qianqian's intentions later.
She couldn't help frowning, and raised her eyes to see the side face of him that was squeezed in by the moonlight, just the right contour, handsome and beautiful, but with a hint of danger.
She had an intuition that if she said anything about returning the silver taels, she was afraid that she would really anger the man in front of her, and with his skill and power at that time, would their family still be good?
Qian Qianqian didn't look over, quietly counted the sound of horses' hooves, and when it came to the thousandth and third time, the Qian family arrived.
That night, she lay on the bed with a pair of big eyes and couldn't sleep, and her heart was uneasy because of the great benefit of Xiao Mohan.
Otherwise, why don't you get him some delicious food yourself?
This time, be more attentive, the so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, how much can offset some of the human favors owed, right?
Thinking like this, Qian Qianqian tiptoed up, went straight to the cellar with the moonlight, and got into it after confirming that there was no one around.
After entering the cellar, she couldn't wait to open the space, and after entering, she hugged Xiao Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, do you miss me?" ”
Xiao Jiu kept struggling, "What kind of nerves!" ”
Qian Qianqian pouted and let go of him, "What a guy who can't be raised, I have to bring food to be more enthusiastic." ”
As soon as Xiao Jiu left Qian Qianqian, she immediately ran away, and said with a disgusted face: "The wheat can be harvested." ”
"Hmmm! That's what I'm here to do! She pulled out her scythe from behind her and shook it.
