Chapter 66: Peony

Dongzi was stunned, and for the first time felt that his son-in-law was so outstanding, and his heart immediately overturned the pity for the peony girl just now. His master is so rich and handsome, I am afraid that the fairies in the sky will think about the lower realm when they see it, how can the Qing people in the land of fireworks think casually?

Fang Jie waited for a long time, but he still didn't see this occasionally stupid little guy come forward, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and slowly stepped on the snow and walked forward.

When Dongzi finally dragged the distracting thoughts back from the nine heavens away, he saw that the master was about to leave without a shadow. So he hurriedly ran away, shouting in his mouth, "Childe, you wait for me, wait... Oops! ”

He ran so fast that he accidentally stepped on the ice, and immediately fell on all fours, and when he got up again, he became a snowman completely.

Fang Jie looked back and couldn't help laughing, the laughter startled the two magpies who stopped on the roof to rest, tilted their heads in dissatisfaction and cooed twice, spread their wings again and flew away...

The shopkeeper Luo gathered all the hands in the restaurant and gave the reward to the silver. Whether it's a fat cook who won a dozen or two awards, or a young man who only got a tael of dishes, everyone is smiling from ear to ear.

For those of them who work, the most fearful thing is that the owner does not take their hard work in their eyes. Fortunately, they are very lucky, all the restaurants on this street are counted, and their wages and New Year's bounties are the highest, and they often make everyone envious when they say it. If they had known that there had been another silver hair today, they would have been even more jealous.

Shopkeeper Luo finished the last stroke on the roster, knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Everyone knows that our restaurant is completely famous today, and I am afraid that business will be more prosperous in the future." Our owner is generous and kind-hearted, and when we make money, we will never lose everyone's reward, and everyone will naturally have to sell more and work harder. If everyone is doing their best, I will discuss with the owner at the end of the year to raise everyone's salary! ”

"Shopkeeper Xie, Dongjia Xie!" When everyone heard this, they cheered and thanked each other.

Shopkeeper Luo waved his hand, put away the smile on his face and said, "But everyone should also know in their hearts, if someone eats inside and outside, and says something that outsiders shouldn't say, don't blame me for driving him out!" ”

Everyone naturally knew what the things that shouldn't be said in the mouth of their shopkeeper meant, and the fat cook was the first to respond, "The shopkeeper can rest assured, the people in the back kitchen are all in unison, and there is no dishonest mouth." ”

The little steward in charge of the lobby also hurriedly expressed his determination, "Although the people in our lobby are fast-talking, everyone knows what to say and what not to say." ”

Everyone at the bottom also said yes again and again, the old shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction and instructed a few words, just about to order everyone to disperse, when he saw the little guy guarding the backyard running to report, "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!" Outsiders are out of the door. ”

When the old shopkeeper heard this, he thought that Nangou Village was coming to deliver food again, so he suddenly stood up and asked, "The person who came drove the ox cart, where did he say?" ”

The little girl took a few breaths, and then said carefully, "No, the shopkeeper, it was the peony girl who came to visit the owner." ”

The old shopkeeper was so angry that he slapped him on the head and blamed, "You hairy boy, next time you will make it clear." With that, he went to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

The little guy scratched his head aggrievedly, looked at his partners who were squeezing his eyebrows and laughing at his beaten partners, and couldn't help but puff his mouth, "I'm also in a hurry to tell you, why don't you appreciate the shopkeeper?" ”

The little steward smiled and handed over the reward he had just received for him, "The shopkeeper is worried about big things in his heart, maybe he misunderstood." ”

The little guy took the reward, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy, and the grievances just now were instantly thrown away.

The old shopkeeper opened the back door with his own hands and saw a small sedan chair parked outside the door, and the little maid leaning on the side of the sedan chair immediately walked over, and the exit was complaining, "Shopkeeper, is Fang Gongzi here?" Our girl is here to visit us today. But the little guy in your yard is so unruly, and on such a cold day, you don't invite our girl to go in to serve tea in advance, so you let our girl sit in a sedan chair and blow the wind..."

Don't look at the old shopkeeper's chestnuts that he often knocks on those little guys on weekdays, but in fact, he has a short-term temper. Hearing that the little girl was so speechless, she naturally didn't like it. But he still greeted him with a smile on his face, "Oh, that's our neglect." It's just that I don't know what important thing the peony girl has to do to visit our son on such a snowy night? ”

The little girl is usually used to having no eyes by those sons and brothers who want to see her master, so she thinks that everyone in the world will look up to her by three points.

At this time, when he heard the old shopkeeper ask such a question, not only did he not answer, but scolded, "Our master naturally has something to say when he sees your son-in-law, why are you asking so much, hurry up and invite our master to go in and serve tea." ”

This time, without waiting for the old shopkeeper to answer, the peony in the sedan chair spoke up, "Cui'er, don't be rude, and don't make amends to the old shopkeeper!" The old shopkeeper is the person that Fang Gongzi relies on, how can you, a slave, offend? ”

The old shopkeeper snorted coldly in his heart, the dogs in the family had already bitten people before they came out to scold a few times, such a coy attitude, could it be impossible to treat people as fools?

Red Peony lifted the sedan curtain, stepped out, and a red brocade cloak inlaid with snow-white fox fur added a three-point style to her already gorgeous facial features.

The two palanquin men waiting on the side were a little dumbfounded, and the red peony was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was dignified, and he stepped forward to give the old shopkeeper a half-salute, and said with a smile, "The old shopkeeper is tired to open the door, and it is really rude to come to visit." ”

The old shopkeeper returned the favor and said with a smile, "The peony girl is polite, but it's just a matter of opening the door, the little old man is not old enough to move his legs." ”

Peony seemed to be amusing to hear it, took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and chuckled twice, and said, "The shopkeeper is really a funny person." ”

She said this and was about to walk to the courtyard, but unfortunately the old shopkeeper stopped at the door and did not move, the little maid frowned and shouted, "You old shopkeeper, why don't you give way, is Fang Gongzi going to come out to greet him in person?" ”

The old shopkeeper didn't pay attention to her, turned to Peony, who also looked puzzled, and said, "I have been greeting just now, but I didn't have time to show the girl, our son just went out, and he is not in the yard at this time." ”

"Absent?" The little maid's voice was raised high, "Who are you lying to as a child!" We have been to Nian'en Garden just now, and the porter clearly said that Fang Gongzi is here! ”

Peony also frowned and asked, "Is Fang Gongzi really not here?" ”

"No, our son has just been gone for less than a quarter of an hour."

Peony's face seemed to be extremely disappointed, and the bright eyes that looked at the old shopkeeper were full of grievances and loss. It's a pity that the old shopkeeper seems to have a heart of iron and stone in his belly, and he doesn't have the slightest pity, and he doesn't open his mouth to invite her in and wait.

Peony had no choice but to ask in a coquettish voice, "I don't know when Childe will return, can Peony go to Childe's study to wait?" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work," the old shopkeeper shook his head, "our son-in-law will probably go back to the garden to rest after finishing things, and he won't turn back." ”

The little girl saw the old shopkeeper like this on the side, and she was so angry that fire erupted from her nostrils. His own master has always been held in the palm of his hand, when has he ever been so despised and rejected?

"You eyeless old thing, your son has always been respectful when he sees our girl, if he knows that you treat our girl so slowly today, he will definitely drive you out! See how arrogant you will be then? ”

The old shopkeeper glanced at her coldly, and replied slowly, "How our master punishes, I will naturally bear it, so I won't bother you." However, I want to advise you, when you are a slave and a maid, you must have the appearance of a slave and a maid, and if you can't see your 'identity' clearly, don't come out and embarrass the master. ”

Peony is clear-minded, how can she not hear that the old shopkeeper is refuting the little girl on the surface, but in fact, he is beating her with the word identity.

She was angry and ashamed, her face instantly turned red, she wanted to get angry but could only endure it, hastily threw down a sentence to come back to visit another day, and turned around and walked quickly into the sedan chair.

The little maid Xu was still a little unwilling, and was just about to say a few more cruel words, but the old shopkeeper slowly blocked another sentence, "The snow is slippery, the girl can go to the opposite rich building to sit first, and then go back when the snow stops." ”

The peony in the sedan chair was desperately wringing the handkerchief, and he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, and told the sedan chair man to hurry up.

The little girl stomped her foot a few times in hatred, and chased after her skirt.

The old shopkeeper leaned on the door frame, looked at the sedan chair in the distance, and sneered. After today's incident, the original dissatisfaction in his heart has been added to three points.

He never wanted his son-in-law to have anything to do with these dusty women, but although his son was full of talent, he just became a businessman. He was really afraid that the son's heart would be depressed and leave him sick, so he didn't dare to stop him from going to the flower building to drink and relax.

This peony girl used to be quite right, and she accompanied the male to play the piano and paint, but she was also a good interpreter flower. It's a pity that after finding out the details of the son, he began to think carefully.

first let out the news that her son-in-law had become her guest of honor, and then quarreled with the eldest lady of the Sun family on the street. Gongzi noticed that he alienated her, and let her invite her in every possible way and no longer go, she didn't know whether she was sick and rushed to the doctor, or if she had other ideas, but she actually went to Fuguilou to show up.

It's a pity that no matter what her purpose is, she has miscalculated. Childe hates this kind of scheming woman the most, the more obsessed she is, the more tricky she is, the farther away Childe is from her...

The old shopkeeper stood up straight, patted Xuehua'er on his shoulder, and turned around and closed the courtyard door while humming a self-composed song, "The world's crazy men and women have a lot of thoughts, you want silver, I want beauty..."

Besides, Peony tried his best to endure his anger and returned to the flower building, and as soon as he entered his room, he grabbed the blue and white porcelain vase on the high stool and smashed it.
