"Who was out there just now?" Mu Xian put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Mu Ping, who walked in lightly.

Mu Ping touched his head, thinking of the girl who was running faster than a rabbit just now, and shook his head: "No one." "But then the girl talks to herself, her voice is so low, how does my cousin know that there are people outside?

In order to hide the panic he had sprinkled, Mu Ping immediately continued: "By the way, Uncle Cousin, I heard that after reading a book for a long time, standing up and looking at the scenery in the distance is better for the eyes. ”

"Heard? Listen to who says it. ”

"Hmm...... I—I forgot. "Ah, it's all the blame on that girl, it's wrong to say anything now, a lie really has to be fulfilled with countless lies. Let's hurry up and get down to business, the kind that will leave when we're done.

"By the way, Uncle Cousin, the Erlang of the Lan family in the village came to our house to borrow an ox cart, but he couldn't catch it, so my cousin asked me to drive them to the town, and I couldn't come back until about noon. If my cousin has anything to tell me, I'll do it when I get back. ”

"Hmm. Is it just the second uncle of the Lan family? ”

"No, there is also Lan Qing, their father and daughter are very neat, the Lan family Erlang said earlier that he gave up the scientific examination and started business today. said that he was selling some unique white jade crystal jelly, and he also gave two catties to our family. ”

"White Jade Crystal Jelly?" Isn't this what the little girl delivered to him last night? At that time, he still had to keep it secret for her, and today he will make it public?

Could it be that something bad is happening?

Mu Xian's slender fingers tapped a few times on the desk, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You go quickly, tell them to come to you if they have any trouble." ”

"Looking for me?" Isn't looking for me the same as looking for you? Mu Ping rubbed his nose, "Uncle Cousin? Aren't you too good to their family? ”

Mu Xian raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Ping seriously: "No, I haven't forgotten Second Uncle Lan's gift of books back then." ”

Is it? It was a long time ago, and I can almost pay off the girl who helped Lan Qing see a doctor and solve the siege recently.

Mu Ping drove the ox cart to take Lan Xiaoqing and Lan Erlang to the town, the strength of the ox was great, faster than the ordinary mule cart and donkey cart, Lan Xiaoqing was not worried at all that Xu Laosan would be ahead.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the restaurant, Xu Laosan hadn't gone back yet.

Shopkeeper Zheng was surprised when he saw their father and daughter: "Why are you here?" Didn't I ask Xu Laosan to go to your village to find you? ”

"I was about to talk to the shopkeeper about this, but Uncle Xu said that you only bid ten yuan, which is something that my father and I made early in the morning and greedy for darkness, and we can't even earn back the labor cost of ten yuan per catty."

"What did you say?" Shopkeeper Zheng's mouth opened wide in surprise, "When did I say that I would bid ten yuan." ”

"It's not what you said, is it that Uncle Xu, himself? He also said that he would ask for a tael of silver to buy our prescription, and that he would give us a tael of silver because he could afford us. ”

"What!" When the shopkeeper Zheng heard this, he slapped it on the counter for a long time.

This Xu Laosan usually has unclean hands and feet, and there are many thieves in his heart, if he wasn't for his wife's mother's family, he would have swept people out of the house. Just said how he was willing to go to the ravine to receive the goods today, it turned out that he had this idea. I'm afraid he didn't want to take all the dishes of the restaurant out and open another restaurant!

Shopkeeper Zheng was so angry that Xiao Er ran over at this time and said: "Shopkeeper, the guests who didn't eat the white jade crystal jelly yesterday are here again, and there are many new customers who want to order this dish, this Chef Xu hasn't come back yet, what do you think ......?" ”
