Chapter 61: Perfunctory
On the path outside the gate of the outer courtyard, Wang Xi walked over reluctantly. He stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the first thing he heard was Mr. Bai's sentence "the wisdom of heaven and man".
Mrs. Liu was worried about Xia Yanqing's matter the day before yesterday, and intuitively felt that it was not a matter for the family to let go again and again in front of her daughter-in-law, so she urged Wang Xi to come to Xia Yanqing's room one after another.
Mrs. Liu clearly told Wang Xi that even if he couldn't respect the Xia family from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't treat her as an irrelevant outsider anymore.
Once this matter is shaken out, not only him, but even the eldest brother Wang Tao also has an unfavorable fault for the family.
So, Wang Xi was bombarded by his mother repeatedly, and was severely reprimanded by Wang Tao, and he was so distraught that he couldn't even read the book, so he had to come over first to take a scene.
He chose this time, but he also planned that Xia Yanqing would not be in Qiuyue Garden, so he would turn a corner and let the subordinates of Qiuyue Garden give Xia Yan a clear air.
If he really can't hide at night, he won't be very abrupt when he comes again.
Things went as expected, and Xia Yanqing was really not there.
Wang Xi was relieved, and regardless of the different looks of the people in Qiuyue Garden, he pretended to ask Xia Yanqing, and after learning that she was not there, he waved his hand and came out.
Then the ghost sent the gods, and he heard Mr. Bai say this sentence at this point in time, at the gate of the guest house.
The small courtyard where Mr. Bai temporarily lives is not well walled, and in order to prevent people from having a sense of exploration, as long as it is not night, the gate of this courtyard is not closed like other courtyards.
With Xia Yanqing's popularity, under the condition that everything is normal, this place is the same as Qiuyue Garden, and basically no one comes.
The kiln where the pottery was fired was placed in a shed on the west side. But at this time, it is a charcoal fire to test the accuracy of the thermometer, and it is a hot day. So, the test was actually carried out in the courtyard.
The moment Wang Xi heard Mr. Bai speak, his first emotion was disdain and disdain.
Even if you tout the main family, then you have to stop in moderation, right?
When a gentleman can actually do this job, it's insulting!
The wisdom of heaven and man, what do these four words mean, doesn't she know? She dared to speak out.
Then, he heard a girl in front of Xia Yanqing continue to praise: "That's not possible, if this thing is so useful, then we have to hide it, and we can't be stolen." ”
Xia didn't know what shame was, but pretended to be open-minded and said: "Look at your little talent, we either rely on firing pottery to eat, or we are learned, so we have nothing to lose." Look at your ideas, be careful. ”
Wang Xi couldn't listen to these shameless words anymore, and turned around and left.
However, as soon as he took a step, he felt that he could not leave like this. He had to let Xia know how stupid and shameless she was, and she was not worthy of him no matter what.
As soon as he walked to the periphery of a few people, he heard Xia Yanqing say, "It's almost, take it down." This thing should not be heated too much, otherwise it will lose its elasticity. ”
Wang Xi almost laughed angrily, pretending to be crazy and profound, Xia Shi could actually say such a bad thing. He wanted to see what they were doing!
When the big strong daughter-in-law picked up the pliers of the crucible and took down a thermometer, everyone turned sideways to make way for her.
When everyone moved, they saw Wang Xi who was less than two steps away from them.
Although Mr. Bai is approaching middle age, he is also a woman, so he took a few steps back in order to avoid suspicion.
Xinshu and Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law were busy saluting.
Xinxiu and Qiao'er are more special, the first time they saw Wang Xi, the two immediately moved their steps, blocking between Wang Xi and the iron trough and temperature measuring tablets, as if they were afraid that Wang Xi would do it and grab those few things.
Xia Yanqing stepped forward and curtsied: "The concubine has seen the second master, why did the second master come here?" ”
Seeing a hint of anger on Wang Xi's already poor face, she hurriedly explained, "It's smoky here, and the concubine is worried that it will pollute the elegance of the second master." ”
Wang Xi sneered, just now the few of them, touting and accepting, were all harmonious and happy. Why did he stop as soon as he came?
He took a step forward, his gaze crossed over Xinxiu's and the others' heads, and landed on the messy pile of things that everyone was surrounding just now.
"What's that? What are you doing? Wang Xi frowned and asked.
He is tall, and even if he is blocked by Xinxiu and Qiao'er, he can easily see those things clearly.
Xia Yanqing's face was calm, he looked at Wang Xi's line of sight, and replied, "These, this is the barbecue grill that we lit a fire and used to barbecue meat." ”
“……?” Everyone was stunned.
Mr. Bai took the corners of his mouth and quickly turned his head to look at the dense canopy of the big tree on the side of the courtyard.
Wang Xi's eyes widened, and she almost laughed angrily, didn't Xia talk nonsense with his eyes open?
"I didn't know that you still had the ability to talk nonsense. I've been standing at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and what you just said has nothing to do with eating. ”
"Really? Then the second master, you said, if this thing is not used for barbecue, what else can it do? Xia Yanqing didn't feel a little embarrassed to be exposed, and between answers, he also signaled to his daughter-in-law to take down the temperature measuring tablets first.
Wang Xi said, "I ...... "How do you know what you plan to do."
His eyes looked at the iron trough, pointed to the temperature measuring tablet under the clamp of the big strong daughter-in-law, and asked Xia Yanqing, "What is this?" ”
"This?" Xia Yanqing continued to perfunctory, "Let's try it with this thing and see if the charcoal is hot." ”
Wang Xi looked at the red charcoal fire, it was already burned like this, do you still need to try it?
He just looked down on Xia Yanqing again, and at this time he also understood that this woman was just perfunctory to him, and she was very perfunctory.
He had never been so despised before, and his face darkened immediately.
But the talent of the people is not in vain, in the choice of immediately getting angry and brushing his sleeves away, he suddenly found the eyes of several subordinates, and they couldn't help but look at the things that were taken down.
He also subconsciously looked over and found that there were fixed things on several pottery shards...... Originally, it was curved, but at this time, it was slowly straightening without the slightest external force.
