Chapter 167: There is an appointment in the teahouse
Xingchun Tea House.
When Meng Jiagui came to Xingchun Teahouse, he was always uneasy.
Zhou Xuan's matter made Meng Xichang restless, he had to talk about it, let Meng Jiagui talk, the task assigned to him by Meng Xichang was really simple, that is, to probe the other party's bottom and ask for a ransom. It's simple, it's not simple, Meng Jiagui is worried that things may not be as simple as they imagined. He stood outside, rubbing his hands frequently, and looked at the watch, but it was still early, so he was in no hurry to get in.
Through the window glass, Meng Jiagui suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in the teahouse, this figure has always lingered in his mind since the last time he went to Liufu to attend the birthday banquet. And after going to the dance party at Mrs. Mine's house, Meng Jiagui decided that this was the woman he was looking for, and he would get this woman no matter what! He subconsciously tidied up a placket, waved his hand to the two entourages beside him, and walked over by himself. When I entered the teahouse, I saw Liu Peizhu sitting alone in a seat in the corner of the window.
Happiness came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.
He was stunned, she shouldn't have seen him, she twisted the peanuts in her hand, her eyes wandered out of the window, as if she was looking for something.
Her hair shone in the afterglow of the setting sun, shining with chestnut light, and her whole person looked shining. She belongs to the kind of girl who is unforgettable and particularly delicate, so even a small random action makes her look particularly elegant.
"Hey!"
Meng Jiagui greeted him lightly, and then sent a friendly smile.
He was annoyed by his outfit today, why did he leave the house in such a hurry, his clothes were still wrinkled, his shoes were not very shiny, his hair was soft and unpolished, he must not have looked very energetic today.
"You!"
She saw him and turned around, her pink shirt reflecting her pink cheeks. She's really good-looking!
His heart was beating more suddenly, and he knew that he would be moved when he saw her, but this heartbeat made him very passive, because he was incoherent.
"Miss Peizhu, you... How... Over here? ”
He could hear the slight tremors in his voice, imperceptible, like tiny dust in the light.
Liu Peizhu smiled and said, "Why can't I be here?" ”
"Will it rain today?"
Meng Jiagui didn't know what to say for a while, but when he saw that it was overcast outside, he said casually.
"I don't know! I can only ask God, but it seems that it won't! ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, yes, this kind of thing where God has the final say, Liu Peizhu can't be the master!
"You can find a book to read!" After Meng Jiagui said this, he realized that he had said a complete nonsense! Because, at this time, Liu Peizhu was holding a book in her hand!
"I brought a book! Look, isn't that watching! ”
"Do you want tea?"
"No, that's it on the table!"
Boom! Another nonsense!
However, Meng Jiagui's simple appearance, his speech was reversed, and Liu Peizhu was amused all of a sudden.
Meng Jiagui is a rough man, and he doesn't have any ink in his stomach, so he is clumsy in a hurry. However, a rough man is also good about a rough man, that is, he is never afraid of embarrassment, and just believes in what he says.
His vocabulary is limited, his sentences are straightforward, his speech is stiff or it is easy to hurt people if he is not careful, and even what he thinks of and what he says, and his mouth is also a big problem for him. Meng Xichang is most afraid of him, but Zhou Xuan's matter can only be talked about by Meng Jiagui, because he really can't find a more suitable candidate.
Seeing Liu Peizhu smiling, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Meng Jiagui pulled out a chair and sat opposite Liu Peizhu.
"I'm not very good at talking! Makes you laugh! ”
"No, it won't! The second young master has to come here to drink tea today? ”
"No, it's because today is a very important thing!"
"What's important? Why don't you do it now? What are you waiting for here? ”
"It's still early."
"What's the matter? Can you tell me about it? Liu Peizhu asked curiously.
"Tell me first, why are you here today? Don't say it's a coincidence, isn't it possible that we are destined? Meng Jiagui said.
"It's not, it's..."
Liu Peizhu stopped talking, and turned her head silently out of the window.
It's him who missed the appointment again!
Zhao Xiaoshuang once made an agreement with her, this moment, this small teahouse
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
! But when she came, he didn't!
"Miss Peizhu? What happened to you? ”
Seeing Liu Peizhu's expression in a trance, with an absent-minded look, Meng Jiagui was a little cramped.
"It's nothing, I was waiting for someone, it seems that he can't come!"
Liu Peizhu has always been reluctant to believe what Liu Yunsheng saw that day, it was dark that day, how could he happen to meet Zhao Xiaoshuang so easily?
I heard that Zhao Xiaoshuang went to another city!
She stubbornly looked forward to his appearance, expecting him to come back, but why didn't he have any news, could something happen to him?
He still didn't come today!
She regretted how nice it would have been if she had promised him at the time! It's good to go anywhere with him, and where there is him, there will be happiness!
"Oh! Well, I didn't bother you, did I? Meng Jiagui said.
"It's okay!"
She smiled lightly.
Without Zhao Xiaoshuang, she lived like a walking corpse. Almost every day, I have to listen to their advice, forget about that little tailor, and find a good man to marry!
"Why do people have to get married, you say?"
Liu Peizhu asked such a sentence coldly, and Meng Jiagui didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I know better why people want to get divorced."
"Then tell me, why do people want to divorce?"
"There are many reasons, it can be said that there is a disagreement, it is difficult to grow old together, this is more old-fashioned, in fact, it depends on whether it is a man or a woman. I know better why men want to divorce, for example, because they have found true love. ”
Meng Jiagui suddenly found that he was speechless, and he was able to speak so fluently.
He sat down across from her, and simply cheekily followed: "If you want to get married sometime, you can find me!" ”
Liu Peizhu was stunned for a moment, leaned back in the soft chair, the person slipped down, stretched out his legs, looked at him indifferently, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "No joke like you!" Young Master Meng, you're laughing at me! ”
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious! Miss Pejo! ”
The person opposite, with a straight suit, suddenly became serious, which made Liu Peizhu restrain her smile. It seemed that he was serious, and the sudden confession made her bury her head, wring her fingers, and look a little flustered.
"But I heard that there is a young grandmother in Liufu!" Liu Peizhu glanced up at him, then lowered her head and said.
"What does it matter! I'm really in love with you! ”
"We've only met two or three times, and you and I don't know each other very well. Again.."
"I said my eldest lady, if you fall in love with someone, do you need this, that, a thousand reasons? How many more times do I need to see each other? ”
Facing the warm gaze from the other side, Liu Peizhu shook her head firmly.
"Young Master of the Meng family, no.."
"There's nothing you can't do!"
While the two were talking, suddenly the door opened, and a man entered, thirty years old, with a blue face and a strong body.
As soon as this person entered the door, Meng Jiagui's gaze shifted to him.
I saw that he chose a quieter table in the back and sat down, and ordered a pot of oolong tea.
Xiao Er'er brought the tea, he didn't drink it, but just took off the lid of the tea bowl and leaned on the tea bowl, with the lid facing inwards and standing very steadily.
When Meng Jiagui saw it, he knew that it was Zhang Xiangui's person who came. This way of putting the tea bowl is a signature way of Zhang Xiangui's subordinates, so he said hello to Peizhu and walked over from his seat. The man's face was pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and a small knot bulged out from the waistband of his trousers, presumably with a knife.
Meng Jiagui came to his side and did not rush to sit down. The man opened his eyes, looked Meng Jiagui up and down, and then suddenly asked, "This, but is it the son of the Meng family?" ”
"Exactly!"
When the man heard this, he stood up respectfully and arched his hands.
"Master Meng, Xue Qifu is polite, please take a seat!" The man bowed and stretched out his hand.
"Xue Ye, I have admired my name for a long time, it is really a blessing to meet you this time!"
"Where! You're welcome! ”
The two sides sat down, and the shopkeeper gave another pair of tea bowls and helped pour the tea.
"Childe, please have tea!" Xue Qifu gave way.
"Xue Ye, please!"
Meng Jiagui picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, and blew it gently.
"The letter from the Meng family's master, our Zhang Ye received it! Long story short, it's a pity, Zhang Ye said, people can't put it! ”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"People have to be released!"
"Must be put?"
Xue Qifu smiled slightly and said, "Can you guarantee that this person will not cause any trouble to our family Zhang Ye in the future?" ”
"Zhou Xuan is blind to Mount Tai, to rely on the old man to be more tolerant, the rivers and lakes are polite, there is a festival, the responsibility is to be responsible, the fight is to beat, the family's arms are bent inward, but also to ask the old man to be more merciful, let him go, he still has a seventy-year-old mother at home no one to serve, all day long with tears to wash his face, the day before yesterday came to Mengfu, to my lord begged hard, very pitiful, but also hope that Zhang Ye raised his noble hand! Let him go! ”
Meng Jiagui poured tea for the other party and handed it over with both hands.
Then he was handed a full bag of silver taels.
Xue Qifu turned his face sideways, gently swiped the silver taels with his hand, tilted his head and glanced at Meng Jiagui, and handed the money bag back.
"Meng Gongzi, provoke me to say bluntly, I can't let Zhou Xuan go, let him go, he will come to the door again, if something happens, I don't dare to take it! I don't know if Meng Gongzi understands what I mean? ”
"Zhang Ye is famous, no one knows, no one knows, dare to embarrass Zhang Ye is really a bear heart, the leopard is bold, I think Zhou Xuan doesn't have that ability! Zhang Ye's aura must have been taught by him, I guess he didn't dare! ”
Meng Jiagui suddenly remembered Liu Peizhu, so he looked over there, and the seats over there were already empty.
"With all due respect, Meng Gongzi should know that there is a human life between Zhou Xuan and my family Zhang Ye! Let him go, will he really give up? ”
Meng Jiagui shook his head and sighed.
"This is because the woman didn't want to open it, she hanged herself, and it wasn't Zhang Ye's will! Zhou Xuan was also confused last time, and this time it wasn't him who went to you to cause trouble! The matter of fabric, our lord also knows who did it, our lord said, many friends on the rivers and lakes are always good things, and it can be regarded as a small gift to Zhang Ye, but please let him go, as we all know, he and my lord are sworn brothers, this matter, our lord has to take care of it! Xue Ye, please rest assured, after I go back, my master will train him well, and then find a good woman for him, it is estimated that this matter will be over, you can relax! ”
As he spoke, Meng Jiagui handed over the bag of silver again, and when he saw that Xue Qifu had not received it, he suddenly remembered something, took out another bag from his pocket, and handed over the two packets of silver together.
"Look at my memory! This little gift is not a tribute! A pack of filial piety to Zhang Ye, a package of filial piety to Xue Ye! Please Xue Ye accept it, it can be regarded as giving me some face! ”
Xue Qifu looked at it quietly, his black eyes rolled for a moment, and he didn't take the two packs of silver taels, "Meng Gongzi, I see that you are also a happy person, don't hide it, we Zhang Ye said, it is not impossible to release people, but it is definitely not something that can be done with two small packs of silver taels!" ”
Meng Jiagui was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xue Qifu meant, bowed forward, poked his head out, and whispered: "Then what do you Zhang Ye mean..."
"Come, tea, tea!" Xue Qifu smiled calmly, made up tea for Meng Jiagui, and continued: "We Zhang Ye heard that the Meng family master is well-run and has a lot of silk shops in his hands. Supervised by our Xue Ye? ”
This is clearly robbing the shop of the silk shop!
Thinking of this, Meng Jiagui said: "We have received Master Zhang's wishes, but my master should have other arrangements, wait for me to go back and discuss with my master, and then reply to you!" ”
"That's it!"
After coming back, Meng Jiagui told Meng Xichang the truth about the meeting with Xue Qifu, and Meng Xichang was so angry that he took the case, "This hooligan! He's got a big appetite! robbed my goods, and took my shop from the bottom of the kettle! It's really a bully! ”
"What then? Or, as Zhou Xuan said, we'll do it with them! Meng Jiagui said.
After calming down, Meng Xichang still shook his head.
"No! Let's not poke this hornet's nest for the time being! ”
"Last time, didn't you talk about our marriage with Liufu! Coincidentally, I met the girl of the Liu family in the Xingchun Teahouse, and I chatted with her for a while! Dad, otherwise, I'll go to the door and ask for a kiss! ”
"People have a crush on you?"
"I don't know!"
"I have a relationship with the master of the Liu family, and I act rashly, I am afraid that if it is not good, both parties will be embarrassed! Don't be in a hurry, you have to think long-term! Let me think about it again! Stand down! ”
"Okay!"
