Chapter 213: Boiling Eagle
"Cheng Qi."
In the early morning of the next day, when he learned that Cheng Qi was about to leave to face Sui Yuanwai, Cheng Yan rushed back from Xiangfang at some point, appeared at the gate of the villa, and said coldly: "Sui Yuanwai, I'll accompany you." ”
"No, you don't." Cheng Qi yawned lazily, there was a rainstorm in Xiping last night, and the wind and rain shook but he didn't sleep well, "I'll just go by myself, Xiangfang has just started, and I can't do without people." ”
Cheng Yan looked at her when he heard this, but he was not as cautious as expected, so he asked, "What?" Could it be that you have any good ideas to get Sui Yuanwai to obediently return the silver? ”
Cheng Qi lowered his shirt and shook his head honestly: "No." ”
Suddenly received a heavy blow on the head, she raised her head with grinned teeth, and looked at Cheng Yan: "What are you doing with me, it's so painful." ”
"I didn't think about what else to go."
Cheng Yan grabbed her cuffs and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the Quarry: "Alone, are you going to die?" I see that you are seriously bruised right now, so hurry up and give me a rest. ”
"Oh, where am I so expensive."
Cheng Qi broke free of him and swore an oath: "Anyway, it is a protracted battle to get an account, and it is a test of the thickness of my face, I think it's time to show my real skills." ”
Cheng Yan suddenly chuckled, thought for two seconds and said, "What do you mean...... Want to go soft and hard foam? ”
"What a soft grind and hard bubble, it's so ugly."
Cheng Qi took two steps closer, looked up at Cheng Yan's thick eyelashes, and said seriously: "Cheng Yan, have you heard of boiling eagles?" ”
A hint of abruptness flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes, and he immediately took advantage of his unpreparedness to bow his head and peck her lips, which frightened Cheng Qi to retreat again and again, and muttered in his mouth: "Where is your cleanliness addiction?" ”
Her reaction is getting smaller and smaller now, which makes Cheng Yan very satisfied, he looked at the person who was disgusted with this and that, but even he was angry and red, and suddenly his heart rose.
"Is it difficult?" Cheng Yan said deliberately, "Do you have an infectious disease?" ”
"You're the only one who has a contagion!"
Cheng Qi frowned and squinted: "You narcissist." ”
Cheng Yan naturally didn't get angry, but took out something from his sleeve, Cheng Qi fixed his eyes and saw that it was adopted some time ago, the little frog named Lao Wu.
"Old five?"
Cheng Qi took it puzzled, the frog seemed to be very familiar with her, only sitting quietly in her clean and warm palm, and not jumping around, just croaking twice.
"Old five?" Cheng Qi said, "What did you take it from the flower pond?" ”
Cheng Yan changed to a posture of hugging his arms, and then said expressionlessly: "I can't rest assured that you are single-handedly killing the mansion outside the Sui Yuan, but there is no carrier pigeon to report the news, you take the fifth child, this toad is quite good at finding home, if you encounter danger over there, let it back." ”
Cheng Qi listened, only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and raised the frog: "Will the fifth child still find a home?" ”
Cheng Yan nodded coldly: "I said it would, it would." ”
Cheng Qi raised his eyebrows, followed Cheng Yan's appearance, hid the frog in his spacious sleeve pocket, and said in a broken way while hiding it: "Okay, okay, you said it would, it would." ”
She flicked her sleeves left and right, and after making sure that outsiders couldn't see the traces of Lao Wu, she said, "Okay, you go to Xiangfang quickly, I'll go to Yuanwaifu." After thinking about it, "It's definitely people who get their money back." ”
"You'd better do what you say."
Cheng Yan stared at her: "You go alone, at least you can make Sui Yuanwai less vigilant, I think no matter how unwilling he is, he won't dare to touch you at will, but remember." "Don't go against the wind, if Sui Yuanwai's attitude is really tough, come back first, and I'll go for you." ”
Cheng Qi pursed his lips slightly and nodded seriously.
"Go ahead."
Cheng Yan reached out and touched the top of her hair, and said coldly: "The carriage is ready." ”
This person's palm has a very good smell and clear fragrance, Cheng Qi smelled it for a moment, and turned around a little embarrassed, but heard Cheng Lan's anxious call behind him.
"Wait! Grandma! ”
Cheng Qi turned his head and looked at Cheng Lan who was panting, the man ran too quickly, his face was pale, and when he staggered, Cheng Yan helped him to stand firmly.
"Big brother?" Cheng Qi looked at him like this, and thought something was wrong.
Cheng Lan swallowed lightly, the saliva moistened her throat, and the pain was like a knife cut: "Grandma, yesterday afternoon, grandmother sent Mother Zhou over...... I took Shen Lu to the Guogong Mansion, and there is no news so far, I ...... I don't dare to go, can you help me go to the Guogong Mansion to see what my grandmother is going to do? ”
Cheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but it was also the first time she heard that Mrs. Cheng had taken Shen Lu, which meant that some news had already spread out about yesterday's incident.
"Why did grandmother pick up Shen Lu?" Cheng Yan asked lightly beside him.
Compared with his attitude, Cheng Lan's impatience was even more obvious, and the man paced left and right, for fear that Shen Lu would be in danger in the Guogong Mansion: "I don't know either." ”
"Grandmother......" Cheng Qi thought and soothed, "Grandmother took Shen Lu away, maybe to protect her, after all, that person is hiding in the villa, there is Shen Zhutou staring outside, sooner or later he will be exposed, not to mention, yesterday the attitude of Uncle and Aunt Meng and others is very obvious, your attitude is also very firm, there will be an injury when you meet on a narrow road, grandmother also wants to ease the situation in Zhuangzi, you can rest assured, grandmother will not treat Shen Lu well." ”
Cheng Lan himself was concerned about the chaos, and after listening to Cheng Qi's words, he was a little relieved, but the frowning brows still couldn't be loosened, but he also knew that because of Shen Lu's time, everyone in Zhuangzi had been annoyed, so he no longer asked Cheng Qi and the two to do anything, but said: "Are you going to Sui Yuanwai's mansion?" ”
Cheng Qi nodded.
Cheng Lan glanced at Cheng Yan again and instructed, "You two must be careful." ”
"I'll go by myself."
Cheng Qi knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Cheng Yan will return to Xiangfang later." ”
Cheng Lan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reproached Cheng Yan and said: "I said Zongyu, what's the matter with you, Grandma is going to the tiger wolf's den to grab meat to eat, you don't even follow, do you still look like a brother and a quasi-husband?" ”
Cheng Yan looked at him calmly.
Cheng Qi explained: "Big brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't let Cheng Yan go. ”
Who knew that after Cheng Lan heard this, she still said to Cheng Yan: "Zongyu, you are too disagreeable, you know how dangerous Grandma Xiu's trip is, but you still come by her temperament, if you don't ask you to follow, you really ask her to be alone, if she is missing a hair, beware of Aunt Meng picking your skin"
Cheng Yan didn't speak, and only pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction and grievances.
Cheng Qi held back a smile, patted Cheng Yan's shoulder, and then left.
It's just that she's really weird.
The eldest brother is really weird, as long as Shen Lu is present or in danger, that person will immediately transform, and when the danger is lifted, or when he is not around, his domineering style disappears in an instant.
It's like a split personality.
Sure enough, it's still the power of love.
…
"Old lady."
In the main hall of the Wuyuan Courtyard, Mrs. Cheng and the people in the second and third rooms were having morning food, and Mother Zhou walked over with Shen Lu unhurriedly and said to the former: "Miss Ayao is here." ”
Shen Lu hurriedly greeted everyone.
Cheng Xian, who was sitting next to him, glanced over, only to feel that Shen Lu's face was familiar, and after recalling it for a few seconds, his eyes instantly widened and exclaimed: "Shen Lu! Aren't you the old brother's servant! ”
Shen Lu stood slightly uneasy.
Cheng Shu sat opposite, looked at Shen Lu, and said cautiously, "Why are you back again?" ”
Shen Lu didn't know how to answer, her heart was like a monkey scratching, to be honest, she didn't know what Old Madam Cheng's intentions were, but this feeling of being scrutinized by multiple eyes was really bad.
"Shen Lu."
Aunt Meng called coldly beside her, Shen Lu hurried over, and at the same time, a pair of chopsticks made of sterling silver were stuffed in her hand, which had been covered a little hot by Aunt Meng.
"Take it, and give the old lady a dish." Aunt Meng said.
Shen Lu hesitated: "But my hands and feet are clumsy, I'm afraid I won't serve well." ”
"Can't you learn?"
Aunt Meng looked at her angrily: "If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times." Another snatched the chopsticks back, "Forget it this time, you see how I do it, and you will come back next time." ”
Although Shen Lu was inexplicable, he was under the roof, so he had to seriously agree.
Cheng took a bite of food and said disdainfully: "Grandmother, what the hell is going on?" Cheng Shu, who was also confused on the other side, glanced at each other, "Sister Yu'er, do you know?" ”
Cheng Shu shook her head, but didn't ask much.
It's just that she is a little worried, after this Shen Lu's identity is completely exposed, who doesn't know that she is a felony who went to the sea to catch documents, and this person doesn't come back to make trouble, why does Mrs. Cheng still want to keep her, and she still has to stay by her side to serve, isn't this a time bomb.
"What's going on?"
Old Madam Cheng finally opened her mouth and said indifferently: "Shen Lu's deed of sale is still in the Guogong Mansion, this girl is still a maid who was bought back by Zheng'er, serving me, is there anything wrong?" ”
Cheng lowered his head and frowned, but did not dare to speak.
Cheng Yun snatched a glance at his daughter, who was not angry, and then said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mother, this Shen Lu is a thief, the entire Xiping is covered with her sea fishing documents, you keep her to serve, isn't this a big hidden danger, according to the son, it is better to notify Shen Zhutou as soon as possible and send her to the government." ”
"Yes, Mother."
Seeing that Cheng Yunduo didn't speak, Ji reluctantly agreed: "This charge of harboring thieves, our Guogong Mansion really can't afford it, mother, you have to think twice." ”
"I have my own plans."
Mrs. Cheng said calmly: "The eggplant box in front of me looks good, and it is fried with kung fu. ”
Aunt Meng didn't move, only glanced at Shen Lu.
The man reacted, and quickly helped to spread some cloth on the plate, Mrs. Cheng glanced at it, did not speak or say anything, it turned out that Shen Lu's technology was not at home, and the eggplant box was scattered.
Aunt Meng frowned very unhappily, stretched out her hand to pull Shen Lu away, and personally clamped some, this time the old lady moved her chopsticks unhurriedly, chewed and said, "The kung fu of serving people is still not enough." ”
Shen Lu himself is a strong character, and when he heard this, he argued for himself: "The old lady understands, I have a very serious injury that has not healed, not to mention, my arm also has a bone crack, so it is inconvenient to hold chopsticks." ”
Old Madam Cheng squinted at her: "What do you want to say?" ”
Shen Lu said: "The old lady has a good appetite, so let's eat some more." As she spoke, her face became solemn and stubborn, she bit her lip slightly, and stretched out her chopsticks again to pick up the remaining eggplant box.
The slight trembling in the sleeve tube showed that Shen Lu's pain was unbearable, Zheng in the second room looked at it, the chewing action in his mouth gradually slowed down, and his heart was pinched, and he secretly said that this girl is too strong.
Finally, the box was placed on the plate intact.
Mrs. Cheng didn't look at it, she only picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
Shen Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hanging his arm to his side, sweat pouring down from his aching forehead.
After a few seconds, Mrs. Cheng picked up the chopsticks, ate the eggplant box, and said, "I'm good at it, you can eat it slowly." He turned to Zhou's mother and said, "Take out the hut and ask Shen Lu to live in it." ”
Mother Zhou responded, instructed Red Ginseng to do it, and then helped Mrs. Cheng into the bedroom.
Red Ginseng said to Shen Lu: "Miss Yao, come with me." ”
Shen Lu bowed his head and walked tightly.
And Aunt Meng naturally wouldn't serve the people in the second and third rooms, and she also left.
Only then did Cheng Yunshan express the doubts in his heart and said, "Third child, what does mother mean by this?" ”
Cheng Yunduo pondered and did not speak.
…
In the bedroom, Mrs. Cheng sat on the circle chair, closed her eyes and rested, Mother Zhou stood behind her, helped her gently massage her temples, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Old lady...... Do you want Young Master Qiubai to marry her? ”
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, and then said softly: "I didn't think about it." ”
Mother Zhou nodded, and then sighed helplessly: "Speaking of which, this Shen Lu's identity ...... It's really too tricky, if you really marry into the door, I'm afraid that you will have to be laughed off by the elders of the clan, and You Xiping will also be full of jokes about the long house of our Guogong Mansion. ”
"It's all trifles."
Mrs. Cheng said with some surprise: "I don't care about the identity of this girl, I just think that her current angular personality is not suitable for Qiubai's wife." ”
Mother Zhou lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "The old lady is doing this to sharpen her?" ”
"Since I was a child, I have never seen Qiubai quarrel fiercely with her elders for a girl, so disregarding the rules." Old Madam Cheng took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes, "Have you heard, when Qiu Bai saw this Shen Lu, it was like a different person." ”
Mother Zhou said: "The old slave heard that the young master Qiubai was holding Shen Lu, and no one would step forward, where was there still the previous weak state, and the stubborn strength was three points tougher than that of the young master Taiheng." ”
Mrs. Cheng suddenly chuckled and said: "It is said that Qiubai is a weak person, but in my opinion, his temperament is actually more difficult to twist than anyone else, and if he doesn't care about it in his life, he will naturally not do anything, but once he meets the person he cares about, the thing he cares about will change from cotton to stone, from soft silk to knife, Shen Lu, that person." ”
Mother Zhou felt that this was very reasonable, she didn't think about it before, but now that she recalls it, she can indeed see Cheng Lan's soft character on the outside and the inside in many things.
"That's so."
Mother Zhou, as Mrs. Cheng's confidant, said: "On Shen Lu's side, the old slave will also do his best." ”
"Okay."
Mrs. Cheng said lightly: "If you want to be in shape, you naturally have to go through a thousand cuts. ”
…
"Miss Qi, our master hasn't woken up yet, so I'm sorry for you to sit down for a while."
The money steward from the foreign government came out for the third time to prevaricate.
Cheng Qi came here and sat for more than an hour, but she was good-natured and said with a smile: "It's okay, people don't think they can do anything, you go and tell Sui Yuanwai to tell him that he has slept enough, and then talk about it when he has slept enough." ”
Steward Qian thought that his attitude was obvious enough, but what was even more obvious was Cheng Qi's words that he didn't accept the account, so he had to say: "Yes, thank you Miss Qi for your understanding." ”
As soon as Steward Qian turned around, he saw Sui Yuanwai walking out of his coat, and it seemed that he also saw that Cheng Qi would not leave if he didn't see anyone, so he said, "Master, you're awake." ”
Cheng Qi didn't move immediately, just looked over with a light smile.
"Sui Yuanwai, are you awake?"
She said sarcastically: "It's only three poles in the morning, and you woke up too early." After speaking, he got up unhurriedly, "Otherwise, go to sleep again, I am a child, I can afford it." ”
Sui Yuan's body shook three times, it seemed that even if he didn't sleep, his state was oily enough, and he smiled loudly when he heard Yan: "Miss Qi is really good at laughing, the distinguished guest is here, what else do I sleep." ”
He walked over and sat down opposite Cheng Qi, and the man also sat down again, drank the residual tea, and said with a smile: "The tea here outside Sui Yuan is really delicious, and the one on my Zhuangzi is not as fragrant as this." ”
"Miss Qi has won the prize."
At this point, Sui Yuanwai's attitude was still quite polite: "If the girl likes it, take some back when you leave later, and give it to Young Master Zongyu and them to try it." ”
Cheng Qi smiled: "Really? Then you're welcome. ”
"Of course, naturally, Miss Qi can take as much as she wants."
Sui Yuanwai also played with her haha.
"It's better to keep the good tea outside the staff and drink it yourself." Cheng Qi gradually smiled, "I can't drink any good tea in this world, as long as I have money, I can drink anything, but." "The main purpose of my visit today is not to ask for tea. ”
Seeing that Cheng Qi had entered the topic so quickly, the smile on Sui Yuanwai's face disappeared in an instant, he smacked his mouth, facing the hall full of gold, silver and jewelry, but he was still talking about living in poverty.
"Miss Qi, I know, you want to take the three fires and burn the prestige of the head of the long house." Sui Yuanwai said calmly, "I had a very good relationship with your father at the beginning, and it stands to reason that I should give you some face and return the 50,000 taels of silver, but it's just ...... I'm shy now, I can't help at all, and I hope that Miss Qi can have a few more days, Haihan Haihan, when I have a lot of money, I will come to the door immediately to return it. ”
After he said it so unashamedly, Cheng Qi's face was expressionless, and behind the peach petals in her big eyes, a terrifying sword light faintly appeared.
Seeing this, Sui Yuanwai's expression gradually became solemn.
Cheng Qi's temper is known to everyone, and if he says this, once that person can't suppress the fire, he is likely to make trouble in the court, of course, he is not afraid.
"What did you say?"
After a few seconds of stalemate, Cheng Qi suddenly smiled brightly: "Why can't I understand?" ”
Sui Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Cheng Qi, you...... Didn't you come to ask for an account? ”
"Who said I was here to ask for an account?"
Cheng Qi waved his hand happily and said with a smile: "I came to the door today, purely to visit you, and secondly, I also want to ask you for some business experience, not to ask for accounts." "Stopped," What's more, those old accounts are not far from ten, not the 50,000 taels outside the staff, you are not an outsider, you say yes. ”
Cheng Qi's attitude changed suddenly, and the flash Sui Yuanwai was stunned, and glanced at Steward Qian, and he had to laugh and say, "I see, that's my misunderstanding." ”
"It's not a misunderstanding."
Cheng Qi smiled: "How can I collect your account outside the staff." "I asked for another cup of tea," I came today, I really just came to be a guest, so ......" said to the money housekeeper, "When will I use the daytime eclipse, I'm a little hungry." ”
Steward Qian was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to ask Sui Yuanwai, the man couldn't figure out Cheng Qi's routine, but since they all opened their mouths to ask for food, they couldn't help but give it, so they ordered the meal to be served.
…
After the group gathered, the wife of the Sui Yuanwai, Qin, looked at Cheng Qi next to him, that person really didn't regard himself as an outsider, with chopsticks in his right hand and a spoon in his left hand, he was eating with his eyes down.
Sui Yuanwai is old and has a son, that Sui Tong is only seven years old, looking at the eating appearance of his sister opposite, he only feels magical, he has never seen such a girl, and he wants to follow suit, but he was choked by minced meat.
Qin Shi frowned, but he still smiled bitterly and gave Cheng Qi some dishes: "Miss Qi, you eat slowly, just tell the kitchen what you want to eat." The man ignored him, and his voice became more and more helpless," ...... Other...... Just don't choke. ”
And Cheng Qi took the second bowl of porridge, then he looked up and said: "Thank you Madame for your hospitality, when I was in the Guogong Mansion and Zhuangzi, my mother never let me eat enough, and I was always hungry." ”
"That's for the girl's sake, too." Qin said.
Cheng Qi ignored it, only turned his head to Steward Qian and said: "Please clean up a guest room for me, I won't go back tonight, remember, you must light mosquito repellent coils, I am most afraid of mosquitoes." ”
Steward Qian was stunned, and hurriedly looked at Sui Yuanwai for instructions.
Sui Yuanwai was also a little surprised, and looked back at Cheng Qi's gobbling appearance, only then did he understand that the person wanted to use roundabout tactics, wanted to boil the eagle, and wanted to fight a protracted battle with himself.
However, the Cheng family's face cannot be brushed.
Sui Yuanwai had to grit his teeth and smile: "Okay, go clean up." ”
Steward Qian left uneasily.
Before eating the table, Qin pursed his lips in embarrassment, and was about to speak, but saw that Cheng Qi suddenly took out a frog from his sleeve and put it on the table, so frightened that Qin slapped his chest again and again, and whispered, "Hey, hey." ”
Sui Yuanwai was also stupid: "Cheng Qi, you are ......"
"Don't be afraid, this is the frog I raised, I'm afraid it will suffocate, so take it out for breath."
Cheng Qi smiled innocently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
