Chapter 125: Lu meets Sun Xiahe
Ah Xiang felt embarrassed, but she still rubbed a meal, which was really embarrassing. But it's already like this, and you're welcome, pick up the chopsticks and learn the soybeans and start to put vegetables into the hot pot.
The two of them chatted while waiting, and unknowingly, they ate half of the fresh vegetables and mutton on the table.
Seeing Ah Xiang put down her chopsticks, and Soybeans also put down her chopsticks, she did eat a little bit.
Ah Xiang saw that the time was not early, got up and saluted: "Thank you for the lady's hospitality, let Ah Xiang go back and think about it." ”
"Okay." Huang Dou also got up and returned the salute: "Please give me an answer within three days, it doesn't matter whether it is successful or not, the main thing is that my stay in Tongzhou is not very rich, about only a month." ”
"Okay, I will reply to the lady within three days and say goodbye." Ah Xiang turned around and walked out of the cabin, and Sun Wu's daughter-in-law accompanied her to the dock.
Zhao Dashan saw Ah Xiang leaving, and strode in: "How did you think of finding a woman to join." As he spoke, he sat down at the table, took the dishes and chopsticks used in front of the soybeans, and prepared to brush the vegetables.
"I'll go get you a new set." As he spoke, he was about to get up.
"No, you don't." Zhao Dashan pulled her and sat her down.
Huang Dou saw that he had begun to eat and was not reluctant, so he sat down and talked to him: "I think the tigress guarding the calf is the most terrifying, if anyone threatens the safety of her and her children, she will definitely show her paws." ”
"Your reason is not sufficient, I heard Kang Ping say that the location of her store is not the best. And it's hard to handle a bunch of housework. You're moved by pity, aren't you? Zhao Dashan said while brushing, saw Xiaoqiu standing on the side, and beckoned: "Go, take a set of dishes and chopsticks to eat together." ”
Xiaoqiu is a child after all, she has long been hungry, and she jumped up happily when she heard the words. cleaned up the set of chopsticks that Ah Xiang had used on the table just now, rinsed it and brought it over, sat upright and began to brush the dishes.
Huang Dou admits that he is moved by compassion, but there is nothing wrong with that. Ah Xiang just needs it, and she just wants to develop a fairy drunk franchise store, what's not to do.
Zhao Dashan glanced at the soybean who was sitting next to him and didn't speak: "I don't blame you, I just think that maybe your thoughts will be in vain." The more such a woman, the more she dare not move casually, she is more afraid of losing than ordinary people. ”
"Well, I gave her three days to think about it. Don't let Kangping follow me for the past three days, he still helps with things. Just let Xiaoqiu follow me, and I'll have a good walk in Tongzhou. ”
Zhao Dashan saw that Huang Dou had not lost his mind with a kind heart, so he was relieved. After eating a few chopsticks and dishes, he put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Xiaoqiu, you clean up this place by yourself after eating, and you will follow Mrs. in the past few days." As he spoke, he touched his head: "Be smart." ”
Xiao Qiu smiled with his eyes, feeling that today was simply an auspicious day for his zodiac, eating wontons and hot pot, and going out with his wife.
Huang Dou saw Xiaoqiu's cheerful eating, and didn't bother her, sitting aside and thinking about things silently. Originally, she wanted to go to Class A for a walk, but she was afraid that Xiaoqiu would go out with her, so she didn't eat well, so she simply took a cup of tea and sat aside.
When Sun Wu's daughter-in-law came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, she saw Xiaoqiu sitting at the table and feasting, so she was out of breath. Be sure to tell his dad that this kid is too unruly.
At noon, Soybean and Xiaoqiu didn't eat, they were all overwhelmed, and Soybean simply took Xiaoqiu to go shopping and eat by the way.
Happy Xiaoqiu followed the soybeans to the dock again, and in the afternoon they were going to go to the market to have a look, there was nothing to visit on the dock.
Tongzhou City is very large, and the two of them walked around for a long time, and also bought some local snacks carried by Xiaoqiu.
Walking and walking, they actually came to a fireworks alley, and neither of them paid attention, and only after walking for a while did they realize that something was wrong. Xiaoqiu didn't understand, but Huang Dou understood, so he could only go back.
Passing in front of a small building with a "Chunfeng Building" sign hanging at the door of the house, Xiaoqiu, who was looking around, suddenly threw down his things and rushed into the building, shouting: "Sister, sister." Huang Dou, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Xiaoqiu, who had already rushed into the building.
Xiaoqiu rushed into the yard, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl upstairs rushed down, crying and hugging Xiaoqiu. Huang Dou stood at the door dumbfounded, wouldn't it be such a coincidence, Xiaoqiu found his sister Xia He?
It was afternoon, the building was very quiet, and most of the girls had just gotten up and were getting ready to wash. Xia He went to fetch water for the girl she served, walked through the corridor upstairs, and happened to be seen by Xiaoqiu, who was looking around.
The mother in the building ran out and pulled Xiaoqiu, wanting to separate the sister and brother who were hugging each other. Huang Dou stepped in: "How much is this girl worth in silver, we can buy it." ”
As soon as my mother heard that someone was buying, she immediately smiled: "If the little lady wants to buy it, it's not much, three hundred taels." ”
Xiaoqiu, who was listening to the soybeans saying that he was going to buy them, was happy, and when he heard that it was three hundred taels, his tears flowed faster. Their whole family is less than one hundred taels, and now it costs three hundred taels to buy the eldest sister, and the main family will not do this kind of loss-making business if they are stupid.
Sure enough, Huang Dou glanced at the sister and brother who were hugging their heads and crying, and their faces sank: "This kid is a servant bought by my family, I just watched his sister and brother see each other, and I was moved by compassion." Since you don't really want to sell, forget it. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked outside, not even calling Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu looked at her sister, and then at the soybeans who had almost walked out of the courtyard gate. remembered what her mother told her: "No matter what the situation is, you must follow the housemother, the housemother hurts a hair, and their whole family will pay for their lives." ”
This is just that Sun Wu's daughter-in-law was afraid that Xiaoqiu would be ignorant and scare him, but she didn't expect Xiaoqiu to be really scared. Seeing Huang Dou walking out, he pushed his sister away and whispered softly in her ear: "I'll go back and tell my father." And he ran away.
The soybeans are not fast, slow and fine, not impatient or impatient. The mother in the building looked at the soybeans who walked out, followed Xiaoqiu who ran behind, and glanced at Xia He, who was sitting on the ground with an ordinary appearance. A stomped foot and hurriedly chased out: "Lady, please wait." ”
Huang Dou stood still and turned to look at Qingfeng Lou's mother who chased out. Mom chased to the door and stood at the threshold with a smiling face: "Lady, if you sincerely want to buy it, we can talk about it again." You see, why don't we go in and talk. ”
"No, there are a lot of people in your courtyard, so it's not convenient for me to go in." Huang Dou took two steps and stood on the side of the gate: "Let's talk about it here." ”
"Lady, how much can you give?" Mom saw that Huang Dou refused to go in, and she also knew that she was avoiding suspicion, a woman from a good family, not to find her husband who ran to the Qinglou.
"Thirty taels." Soybeans stretched out three fingers.
Mom's face changed greatly, and three hundred taels dropped to thirty taels.
"I went to the dental store to buy girls, and the best ones were only a dozen taels." Huang Dou looked at his mother, who had changed her face, and didn't feel that she was bargaining.
"I don't think the lady bought it sincerely, right?" Mom's face sank.
"yes, I really didn't really want to buy it." Soybeans tell the truth.
Chunfeng Lou's mother can be regarded as a fan of Fengyue Field, what kind of person has she never seen, it is the first time she has seen Huang Dou talk like this, and she was speechless with anger for a while.
There was a passing by, and I saw my mother standing at the door of the Chunfeng Building
A woman dressed as a woman was talking, and she slowed down and looked over.
"One hundred taels, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, don't forget it." Chunfeng Lou's mother thought that no matter how cheap she was, she couldn't fall into the reputation of Chunfeng Lou.
"Okay, deal." As soon as Huang Dou said his words, he saw the mother of Chunfeng Lou, looking at herself with her mouth wide open, as if to say, why don't you bargain?
"Hurry up, just give me her deed." Huang Dou saw that Chunfeng Lou's mother had opened her mouth for a long time and didn't close it, so she couldn't help urging her.
One hundred taels, you can buy seven or eight such little girls, she would be a fool if she didn't sell them. Chunfeng Lou's mother immediately ran into the building, turned out Xia He's deed of sale and ran out: "Lady, pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other." ”
Seeing Huang Dou take out a hundred taels of silver tickets folded into paper cranes from his purse, Chunfeng Lou's mother couldn't help but frown, it turned out that the purse was so much money!
Xiaoqiu saw Chunfeng Lou's mother take the silver ticket, and before he opened it, he hurriedly ran into the yard and pulled up Xia He and walked out: "Sister, let's go, let's go home." ”
Xia He was dragged out of the yard by Xiaoqiu, still very confused, but followed his younger brother subconsciously to go out.
Before he got out of the yard, a little girl about the same age as Xia He ran out from the side: "Xia He, are you leaving?" You're gone, what should I do. Xiaoqiu, please beg Madame to buy me too. ”
Xiaoqiu looked at the girl who was dragging one of his eldest sister's arms, this girl he also knew, her name was Yuhe. They used to live in the same courtyard in the Sun family. Because Xiaoqiu's father is the leader of the guards, his mother is in charge of the stove. Yuhe has a very good relationship with the eldest sister, and often comes to the eldest sister to do needlework.
"Sister Yuhe, I'm sorry, we have no money." Xiaoqiu saw that Huang Dou took out his wallet to pay the bill, and he really had no money.
Yuhe didn't care about it, this lady could buy Xia He for a hundred taels, she was much better looking than Xia He, and she could buy her without Xia He. She threw away Xia He and rushed out of the door, kneeling at Huang Dou's feet: "Madam, please, buy me." ”
"I have no money." Soybean showed her the purse in her hand.
The mother of Chunfeng Lou, who was standing on the side, carefully read the silver ticket, and handed the deed of sale to Huang Dou: "Lady, you take it, if you want this girl, I will sell it to you for one hundred taels." ”
"I really don't have any money." Huang Dou reluctantly turned his purse upside down and showed it to his mother and nearby onlookers.
Xia He, who was almost dumped by Yuhe, was pulled out by Xiaoqiu, and Huang Dou saw them walk out and nodded at Chunfeng Lou's mother and turned away.
Chunfeng Lou's mother shook the silver ticket in her hand, glanced at Yuhe, who was kneeling on the ground, and kicked impatiently: "Useless things, let the old lady earn dozens of taels of silver." Why don't you get in and wait for the old lady to help you? ”
Yuhe, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Xiaoqiu and Xia He's distant figures for a long time, and they just left without looking back.
