Chapter 140: Witnessing the Miracle Together
Whose home is this, whose territory is this! Mai Xiaohuan felt that he was about to be mad by Zhou Yue, if it weren't for Qu Hao's matter and asking him, he really wanted to drive him out now, immediately.
Qu Hao stared thoughtfully at the closed door of Zhou Yue, his attitude towards Xiao Huan was so different, and the performance of scheming with himself along the way showed that Xiao Huan was very important and valued in his eyes, could it be ......
Before I knew it, the little girl had grown up and become a slim girl, but it was not suitable between the two of them at all, and there could never be a result, so what should I do? In front of Zhou Yue, neither himself nor Xiao Huan seems to have the ability to resist, I really hope that Zhou Yue can leave soon, and it is best to leave tomorrow.
The kitchen is full of new pots and new stoves, it took Mai Xiaohuan more than half an hour to clean up the inside, there are fresh vegetables in the villa, and the livestock is also ready-made.
"Xiao Huan, this is grain, oil, pork and all kinds of materials, remember to make more, I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for more than two years." Xiao Quanzi ordered people to put down things and flattered him and said that he was not as cheeky as a son...... Cough...... has a noble identity, and can only beg for a little girl.
"Got it." Mai Xiaohuan's impression of Xiaoquanzi is much better than that of Xiaofuzi, not to mention that he asked for it, even if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't forget him, and Brother Qu came back without even eating a decent meal, he paid too much, too much for himself.
This time, we must seize the opportunity of Zhou Yue's visit to Qingcheng County to beg him to help him testify, or find a separate way to get Brother Qu out of the incident of buying a villa.
In fact, most of the money used to buy that villa was obtained from the recipes that Mai Xiaohuan sold to the Tang family. Things have developed to this point, she no longer dares to confess to the Tang family, if they are also involved, Qu Hao may not be able to clear the charge, not to mention, things may get worse and worse.
Now I can only pin my hope on Zhou Yue, I hope he can toss enough to help himself with great compassion. An hour later, the delicacies were put on the table, and at this time, Zhou Yue had already taken a shower and changed into a luxurious robe, which was actually embroidered with a dragon pattern.
Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, this person ...... Is it the son of the world now?
Didn't your stepfather mention this to you? Mai Xiaohuan said to Qu Hao, "What's going on?" The shape of the mouth. Qu Hao shook his head, he didn't know! There was not much correspondence with the family, what my father said was basically business, and what my mother mentioned the most was to let me pay more attention to my body and eat well, and I rarely mentioned my two sisters.
Daring to "look at each other" in front of himself, Zhou Yue asked others to go down to eat and left Mai Xiaohuan with cloth vegetables. Mai Xiaohuan whispered with a bitter face: "I'm hungry too." ”
Thinking that you wouldn't be hungry when you saw Qu Hao, Zhou Yue asked people to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks and pushed over a plate of fish in front of him. Mai Xiaohuan doesn't like to eat fish, she picked up the bowl and wanted to shift her position.
"You just like it that much...... Don't go. ”
"I don't like to eat fish."
The corners of Zhou Yue's mouth twitched, he really didn't know Mai Xiaohuan's preferences, since he didn't like to eat fish, then ...... When a plate of braised pork was placed in front of him, Mai Xiaohuan simply put down the bowl and stopped eating.
I don't like fish, don't I like meat, no wonder this girl can be blown away by a gust of wind, it's not good to be too picky.
"You sit down for me, and allow you to eat some cold dishes, but at least the meat must be eaten...... One less and a half. ”
Mai Xiaohuan served a small bowl of cold dishes alone, took an empty plate and bowl and put it aside, used chopsticks to put the braised pork on the plate and put it on Zhou Yue's left hand, and then dialed a few pieces into the empty bowl in front of him and began to eat.
Dare to play tricks with herself, Zhou Yue exchanged with her, his subordinates did not stop, and his mouth was not idle: "If you dare to be smart, I will let you eat this plate." ”
"It's not good to eat too much meat at night, so I don't know ......"
"No way!"
Mai Xiaohuan can eat half a plate of meat! Tricking, flattering, and begging for mercy, it was not easy for Zhou Yue to let her go: "Yue Gongzi, I don't know if I will get fat if I eat like this again, and I have already expected it to die." ”
After the meal, Mai Xiaohuan thought that he could be liberated, but Zhou Yue himself came with a personal maid. After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mai Xiaohuan stood at the door and thought about where to sleep tonight, with Zhou Yue in the backyard, of course he had to avoid suspicion. It's not suitable to live in a small courtyard, and if you live opposite to Brother Qu, it's okay to put it in modern times, forget about this era!
It seems that I can only go to sleep in the guest room, and I have carefully designed and renovated the house for most of the year! It's so occupied, and there's nowhere to reason, it's too embarrassing.
"Little bad, since you are reluctant to leave, come in and read a book to me."
It's so beautiful to think, occupy your own room, order yourself to give cloth vegetables, and now you have to listen to the story again, you are no longer a little maid in Yifeng Garden, okay? Mai Xiaohuan walked out on tiptoe, one step, two steps......
As soon as the third step was raised, Zhou Yue opened the window and said unhurriedly: "In more than four months, it will be time for the officials to evaluate their performance at the end of the year. I can probably go home. ”
Will it? Brother Qu won't be so unlucky!
Xiao Quanzi told Mai Xiaohuan that the case of her and Qu Hao's "collusion between officials and businessmen" had already reached the Ministry of Officials, if it wasn't for the master to suppress it, someone would have come down to investigate, a ten-year-old village girl can come up with thousands of taels of silver, and it is estimated that no one will believe it if she says it, if no one comes out to testify, this black pot can only be carried by Qu Hao.
"Will you help me? Can you help me? Brother Qu really didn't bend the law for personal gain in this matter, in fact, most of the silver was obtained from doing business with the Tang family, and of course some of it was given by you.
The reason why I said to the public that Brother Qu bought the villa for me was mainly because there were too many best relatives in the family, and I didn't want to be busy doing things while entangled with them. Where did I think that it would cause such a big trouble to Brother Qu, if I knew that things would evolve like this, I would never involve Brother Qu. ”
"Want me to help?"
Mai Xiaohuan nodded like pounding garlic, judging from the current situation, Zhou Yue is indeed the best person to deal with this matter. Mai Xiaohuan waited for Zhou Yue to give an answer, but he didn't expect the other party to close the window with a "snap" and turn his head back.
What does this man mean? If you can't do it, give me a good word!
"Cough" successfully attracted Mai Xiaohuan's attention, Xiaoquanzi raised his chin towards the room where Zhou Yue lived, as long as he did what his master said, he was happy, Qu Hao's matter was still difficult to discuss?
I'm a twelve-year-old girl, and when I see that it's getting dark, I feel like I'm in a man's room...... Should...... Not quite right! What will Brother Qu think of himself? What will my father and mother think when they find out? Although they will all believe that there is nothing between themselves and Zhou Yue, that will not work!
"Yue Gongzi, it's late today, you've been running around for a few days, can you leave the matter of reading tomorrow? Although I'm just a country girl, although I don't look like a girl in your eyes, I'm really a fake girl. Even if you don't learn the three and four virtues well, but men and women still understand a little bit of other truths, I'm going down, you can rest well! Good night! Ignoring Zhou Yue's reaction, Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly walked out of the backyard.
She said that she was a big girl, did she mean that she wanted to keep her distance? Why didn't you see her far away from Qu Hao, and that Tang family boy, when the two of them met without talking and laughing, how could they be so clear from themselves.
"Shizi, Xiao Huan is not a maid of our palace after all, it is really inappropriate to enter your room when it is getting dark." Xiao Quanzi explained for Mai Xiaohuan and successfully obtained Zhou Yue's eye knife.
The more she tried to draw a line with herself, the more she wanted to tie her up, forget it tonight, try the things she had gotten, if it was just a show, and see how she made fun of her tomorrow.
Mai Xiaohuan, who escaped from the backyard, sent Qu Hao to his residence first, and learned that there was an independent courtyard of his own, Qu Hao felt that he finally had a home.
"Where do you live?" Qu Hao knew that the backyard was left by Mai Xiaohuan for his family to live in, and now it is occupied by Zhou Yue, where will Xiao Huan live tonight?
"Stay in a room!" Otherwise, what else can I do, just take the book out when I came out just now, it's a long night, what do I do to pass the time!
Qu Hao wanted to exchange places with Mai Xiaohuan, but Mai Xiaohuan refused to say anything: "Big brother, it's not early, go back to sleep!" I'm going back to the yamen tomorrow! ”
If you leave, you will leave Zhou Yue and Xiao Huan here...... Qu Hao is not at ease. He wanted to tell Mai Xiaohuan to stay away from Zhou Yue, but he also knew that neither of them had the right to decide in this matter, and only obeyed orders.
"My father and mother should be back tomorrow, so you can go back to the yamen office with confidence!
"I'll leave when Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai arrive."
It seems that it can only be like this, Qu Hao sent Mai Xiaohuan to the guest room and turned back to the small courtyard, Mai Xiaohuan took a shower, lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, if only there was a book to read for a while.
There are several books of things she is thinking about at the moment, such as Xirui's Law, Overseas Experience, and Agricultural Affairs...... There is no "Female Ring" and "Boudoir Training".
No wonder the bad girl thinks and does differently than others, and you can see from the books she chooses that she is not a submissive and well-behaved person.
"Lord Shizi, don't read at night! Hurt your eyes! Zhou Yue didn't plan to study these books, he carefully inspected Mai Xiaohuan's room, and even tried it himself. Zhou Yue was calm on the surface, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. It seems that I still underestimated this girl before, and this time when I returned to Beijing, I said that I would take her to help me renovate the mansion first, and then get those few Zhuangzi, if there is a suitable business to do it together, it would be good.
Mai Xiaobai, I must become your biggest business partner, and witness with you how those wonderful ideas become reality step by step.
