Chapter 40: Miss Mufu
As soon as the old man saw this posture, he knew that it was another big customer, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Inside, please!"
"This is Miss Mu's cousin, and the old gentleman can call Miss Mu." The maid's tone was arrogant, obviously she had experienced a lot of this kind of thing, her young lady was the pearl of the Mu Governor's Mansion, who didn't stammer. As a young lady's personal maid, she naturally got a lot of light.
Sure enough, as the maid thought, as soon as the old man heard the identity of the other party, he immediately abandoned his pride as a doctor, nodded and invited them in.
Miss Mu sat on the chair that Xiao Xia had just sat on in the VIP room of Pusheng Hall, and the chair still had her faint residual warmth. The little boy served the tea quickly, but was stopped by the maid.
"My young lady only drinks Longjing before the rain, what kind of tea are you, why haven't you seen it?"
The little boy blushed and stood aside, not knowing what to do, this was already the best tea in Pushengtang.
"Little Green, don't be rude." The little girl's eyes were very disdainful, but she was generous and polite, and she covered it up very well.
"Yes!" The maid retreated to the back of her chair and stood by.
"I don't know if Miss Mu has anything to do for her." The old man asked earnestly.
"My young lady is looking for a ginseng and plans to present it to the prefect as a birthday gift. I heard that there was only Pushengtang in Jiuyang City, so I came in person. ”
When the old man heard this, he was broken. Although I don't know what the identity of the girl who just bought the ginseng is, she definitely doesn't have the dignity who is sitting here now. There is no ginseng in the store now, isn't this going to offend the young lady of Mufu?
"I don't know what year of ginseng Miss is looking for, but now it's hard to find a century-old ginseng, that is, we haven't seen a century-old ginseng in Pushengtang for two years." The old man shook his head regretfully, thinking that it would be reasonable if Miss Mufu had not been looking for a hundred years in the store.
"More than fifty years old, my father toiled every day, and he became more and more emaciated. As a daughter, she looked anxious and wanted to find a way to nourish her father's body. A hundred years are not needed, so leave it to those in need! The little girl is sincere, and when she pouts, her eyebrows are sad, and she feels pity when she looks at it.
"Lord Mu is for the country and the people, he is really our parent official in Jiuyang City, who doesn't praise it. Miss Mu has a kind heart, and her filial piety is even more touching, and she really has the style of a father. The old man admires it! The old man slipped his beard and slapped the horse in vain, and his forehead began to sweat, where to find a fifty-year-old ginseng at this time, there are a few ginseng whiskers.
"The old gentleman has praised it, so please wrap it up for me! Little Green pays the bills. ”
Seeing that the old man was motionless and speechless, the little girl felt very uncomfortable. "What? I don't want to buy it for me, but I'm still afraid that I don't have any money. The words spoken at such a young age carried two points of majesty.
"Don't dare! To tell you the truth, there was a 60-year-old ginseng in the store, but it had just been sold to a lame girl, and I heard that her mother needed ginseng to recuperate. ”
"What? Why didn't you say it earlier! The little girl immediately blew up. She was counting on this person to please her father! Although she is a concubine, but the family has a big push of the sisters, all of them are staring at her, if there is no father's favor, in the huge wooden mansion, how can there be any status, let alone want to call around like now, everyone has to nod when they see themselves. Since she was a child, she knew that everything she had was given by her father, and she had to capture her father's heart.
The little girl immediately calmed down again, after all, she had seen a lot of intrigues among her aunts at home, and she had learned a little bit about it. "A woman needs ginseng to nourish her body, and if there is any excess, just do it. Daddy worked day and night for the people of Jiuyang City, and Daddy's health benefited all the people of Jiuyang County. I guess that little girl should understand me, right? ”
When the old man heard it, he didn't understand what it meant, and the little girl Mu was bound to get that ginseng! He could only nod and praise a few more words.
"Come on, go find the lame girl, as long as she gives me the ginseng, I will double her compensation."
Xiao Xia bought ginseng so smoothly, seeing that it was still early, he planned to sell materials to make clothes for the whole family, and seeing that spring was over and summer was not far away. Looking at the lively street, out of the nature of a woman, of course she wants to take a good stroll, she is not really an eight-year-old child, she sells the things and pastries she needs, and she will find Huzi to meet, try to return to the backing town before dark, and rush to Shenjia Village early tomorrow morning.
Sitting in the carriage of Huzi, Xiao Xia regretfully waved goodbye to Jiuyang City. Seeing that he was about to pass through the city gate, he was stopped by a team of people.
Just at the gate of the city, the people who went out of the city and entered the city were attracted to it, because the person who stopped the car knew that it was a soldier as soon as he looked at the dress, could it be that there was a gangster in the car?
The tiger who drove the car was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he shouted 'spare my life, I didn't break the law' or something like that. Xiao Xia got out of the carriage and looked at the tiger kneeling on the ground, thinking about whether this kid looked like that, was he still a wanted criminal. Fortunately, I was always on guard.
Xiao Xia's carriage was surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and after a while, a big red carriage several grades higher than theirs came to the carriage, the carriage was large, and the horses pulling the carriage were even more fat and strong. At a glance, you can tell that it is not something that ordinary people can raise, and besides, there are two horses that pull the cart, which is really a waste of resources.
Next to the carriage, a man dressed in a slightly different costume from an ordinary soldier, but it could be seen that he must be a few levels higher than the official government, this person was riding a tall horse, with his head held high.
When the carriage approached, Xiao Xia saw that there was a gorgeous sign on the carriage, with the word Mufu written on it. The carriage stopped and walked out of a little girl of her age, but the most noticeable thing was the arrogance of the little girl, obviously with her nose and eyes facing the sky, but she puffed out her cheeks or behaved delicately and cutely.
Seeing that she was surrounded by a group of people watching the excitement, the little girl Mu was very unhappy, a group of lowly fools actually spied on her face today, it was really a blessing for three lives, cheap them, hum!
"Did this sister just buy a ginseng at Pusheng Hall?" My mother told her a long time ago that no matter how bored she is, she must behave generously and decently in front of others, so that she will be liked by her father.
When Xiao Xia heard this, he realized that he had caused this trouble! Who is this little girl, who has such a big pomp, who is her father? Those who dare to block the street like this must be the players who fight for their fathers.
"Yes." Xiao Xia nodded and did not deny it, since they had already found it accurately, denying it would only make things more troublesome.
"Sister, please give me the ginseng! My father is the prefect of Mu, he has been busy with the people recently, his spirit is getting haggard, he can't do anything, he really needs ginseng to recuperate, so he can continue to contribute to the people in the future. I heard that you are also for your mother's health care, and I am willing to compensate my sister more. The little girl Mu shed tears as she spoke, the already long white and fat and lovely girl, who saw it was rare, and the little girl wiped her tears, and the lively men, women and children had a little heartache.
