Chapter 25: Leaving the Army
Xiao Zheng's slender fingers tapped on the table, slowly and regularly, so frightened that Ji Shu hurriedly took a few steps back.
Just as he was about to make an excuse to sneak out, a leisurely voice suddenly came from behind him: "If I remember correctly, you have followed me since I was five years old." ”
Ji Shu was puzzled: "What did Childe say about this?" ”
"I'm wondering if I want to change to a personal attendant, I've been using you for more than ten years." Xiao Zhengmi seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Ji Shu's face turned white, and he was about to cry.
Xiao Zheng saw that the fright was almost there, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and his words turned to other things: "Before I was five years old, I had been living outside, and if it weren't for the girl's grandfather just now, I wouldn't be alive now." Over the years, I have also sent people to the Chu family to ask, but I don't know what went wrong, and the people who came back told me that the girl of the Chu family had died a long time ago. ”
"So Childe just did this to repay his kindness?" Ji Shu guessed.
Xiao Zhengmi didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, he said: "Sort of, when the time comes, let the people in the blacksmith shop take care of the woman who came to the door with my jade pendant, we went to join the army this time, life and death are unknown, and we can't take care of the things here for a while, they are concerned about my heart to be more stable, and the rest will be talked about when I come back." ”
Suddenly, Ji Shu seemed to think of something: "Childe, don't you drive me away?" ”
Looking at the person in front of him who wanted to laugh and was nervous, he helplessly held his forehead: "What do you say?" ”
Ji Shu immediately smirked.
Smiling and smiling, he had a little sadness in his eyes: "That son...... What about your Gu? ”
"Gu?" Xiao Zhengmi glanced at him and said indifferently, "I have been Gu since I was a child, although the imperial doctor can't cure it, but he also gave me medicine to suppress Gu worms, as long as I take the medicine on time, I can't die." It's a little uncomfortable to have irregular Gu worm attacks, but didn't this girl pick out the most noisy one for me just now? There shouldn't be any problems in the last two years. ”
He paused, as if thinking of something, lowered his head and hooked his lips and said, "Besides, there is really a problem, isn't there still Miss Chu just now?" ”
The corners of Ji Shu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know where his son-in-law's inexplicable pride came from.
"What, do you have any objections?" Xiao Zheng lowered his voice.
Seeing that Ji Shu hurriedly glared and shook his head, he casually threw over a small object and shouted, "If you have no objection, don't go and pack your things quickly, what kind of barracks will you go to if you are late?" ”
"Yes!" Ji Shu carried a few fluttering chickens and hurriedly ran towards the door.
"Wait!"
Ji Shu hurriedly stopped his foot, and turned back to say, "What else does Childe command?" ”
Xiao Zhengmi coughed lightly twice and lowered his voice: "How much silver did you just give to that girl?" ”
"Fifty taels." Ji Shu blinked.
"Why only give so much?" Xiao Zhengmi frowned dissatisfiedly when he heard this.
Ji Shu wanted to cry without tears: "Is this still less?" Who has nothing to do with so much broken silver? I put all the money on my body. ”
……
On the other hand, Chu Xiaoliu didn't take what he had just done too seriously, and now he was in full swing with Chu Xiaoxu in procurement.
"Sister, this meat is so expensive, let's not buy it! Eat pheasants on the go. Chu Xiaoliu walked to the meat stall, and Chu Xiaosu hurriedly pulled her away.
"Oh, don't worry about the money, the chicken doesn't grow meat after eating, your little body is a little bit tricky to the touch, let's eat more oil and water." Her strength was already greater than Chu Xiaoxu's, so she was not affected much, and her free hand had already picked up a piece of meat on the board and said to the butcher guarding the stall, "Uncle, how can I buy this meat?" ”
Chu Xiaoliu, who has wealth and everything, is extremely arrogant, she didn't expect that Xiao Zheng's master and servant would actually make a move of fifty taels, but when she found out, she had already gone out, and it was a little awkward to return it, so she had to accept it.
The butcher, who was scorched by the noon sun, glanced at the two sisters in rags, and said casually: "This piece of meat is fat and thin, eighty wen a catty, you be careful......"
"Ahem," after seeing Chu Xiaoliu take out a piece of silver, his eyes widened instantly, and he quickly stood up and smiled warmly, "This pork belly is sold only this last piece, I'll wrap it up for you, you can see what else you want." ”
As he spoke, the piece of meat had already been wrapped in a dried lotus leaf.
Chu Xiaoliu saw that the piece of meat was not bad, and he did not refuse. At this time, she noticed what had been thrown next to the board, and her eyes lit up.
