Chapter 15 The Mysterious Family Affairs
Since Xiaoxi came back from Shangdu, her prestige in the shop has improved a lot, especially that Young Master Li, who has changed a lot towards Xiaoxi now.
The most he said was "Brother Xiaoxi, please advise." "If there is something delicious, I will leave a copy for Xiaoxi.,The arithmetic homework left by Mr. Private School.,If you don't understand, you can also come to ask Xiaoxi.,Of course, Xiaoxi is not a plenary meeting.,
But this does not affect Xiaoxi's lofty image in his heart.
Every time the shopkeeper saw Xiaoxi and her son together, her face bloomed with a smile, and her heart was even more satisfied.
It's just that Wei's heart has always been worried about Xiaoxi's family affairs, and there has been no news from Mrs. Liu, especially recently there are several newlywed girls around here, looking at the sound of the festive red sedan chair shaking the sky, my heart is even more uncomfortable.
The marriage incense is also a lot, go to the temple others almost once a year, but she runs more than the vegetable field, the monks in the temple will come every time after reading the sign, your daughter's marriage time has not arrived.
That's waiting, the meaning of the Bodhisattva, she always believes, but when will this wait? The Bodhisattva didn't say anything.
Xiaoxi is very busy today, she wants to hand over the accounts to her master in the past few days, the shopkeeper has clearly told her that she will go to the new store in a few days, since the incident in Shangdu, the shopkeeper feels that Xiaoxi is fully qualified for the position of the account room.
At noon, the guys all went to the backyard to eat, and there was no sound in the shop, and Xiaoxi looked up and found that those guys had left early, and he was left alone.
She rubbed her sore shoulders and walked out of the counter, patrolling the shop again, and saw a figure not far from the shop silently watching her.
Xiaoxi looked at his slender figure and calm temperament like a person, but when she saw that the face was a stranger she didn't know, Xiaoxi hesitated out of the store and walked towards the person, but when the person saw Xiaoxi walking towards him, he hesitated and turned around resolutely and entered the alley.
Xiaoxi stood stunned for a long time, she could feel that the person must know her, he just looked at him silently a little familiar, Xiaoxi wanted to confirm, but why did he leave in such a hurry.
After half a year, I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to really talk to Xiaoxi about a family affair, and she didn't make an appointment with Xianxianglou. Xiaoxi heard the news that the person Xianxianglou was a little afraid to go, it was the most expensive restaurant in Liyang County, and today Mrs. Liu called her there undoubtedly to make her spend a lot.
It just so happened that Wei was not at home, so Xiao Xi thought about it and went to Xianxiang Building with enough silver, so he asked Mrs. Liu to do it. As soon as she arrived at the door of the store, Xiaoxi read an article in the lobby on the ground floor and no one was wondering, when she heard Liu Matchmaker shouting loudly at the staircase. Now Xiaoxi really wanted to turn around and ran away, maybe Mrs. Liu saw her hesitation, and quickly dragged Xiaoxi upstairs and came up into a more elegant private room.
Mrs. Liu actually brought her to such an expensive place on purpose, the last time she fought with Xiaoxi, she was also deflated, and she didn't get a little cheap from Xiaoxi, but this time she secretly slaughtered her and finally had some balance in her heart.
As soon as Xiaoxi entered the private room, she felt that she had gone to the wrong room, "Auntie, did we go wrong, did anyone book this private room." Xiaoxi took a look at the private room and it was separated by a screen, and a boy about ten years old sat at the table.
Mrs. Liu pressed Xiaoxi's reluctant body to sit down, and said enthusiastically, "Anyway, we are also paying silver, that room is different, my wife has worked hard for you for half a year to find this family affair that you like, and you are still satisfied." ”
Xiaoxi was a little confused, and the husband Liu Matchmaker found for herself was this child. The child on the opposite side had the word "seedling" on his head, and Xiaoxi felt that he was going to the temple next time to kowtow to the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva might not forgive himself for the great sin of destroying the seedlings.
Mrs. Liu took the preemptive action, afraid that Xiaoxi would not admit the silver promised to herself, "Girl, I am looking for it according to your requirements, you don't want a big family, don't go to a green building, don't have a childhood sweetheart, don't want a good woman, such an abnormal man is not easy to find, I still took a lot of effort to convince his parents of this house." ”
Xiaoxi hammered her chest angrily and depressedly, picked up a cup on the table and poured it wildly, "That's my wife's mouthwash just now." ”
As a result, it can be imagined that this saliva was squirted out, and the sprayed Mrs. Liu and the child's face were full of water, so disgusting that Xiaoxi really wanted to spit out this morning's meal. However, looking at the two people on the other side with water stains on their faces, I felt a little better.
Mrs. Liu wiped the water on her face and called Xiao Er outside the door to order, and Xiao Er was wondering why this private room changed guests so quickly. I heard Mrs. Liu say, "I'll do something, I want a braised hoof." ”
Xiaoxi's mind moved secretly, and immediately said, "The hooves are not fresh, and there is a lot of hair on them." ”
Mrs. Liu thought to herself how she knew, and was about to say that she didn't mind. But Xiaoxi hurriedly said to Xiao Er:
"I heard in the teahouse that the fried green vegetables here are delicious, much better than the meat, so let's have a fried green vegetables."
Xiao Er and Mrs. Liu next to her were about to speak, Xiao Xi glared and said, "Xiao Er, don't make a sound, my aunt has never seen anything in the world, you don't need to report the name of the dish, what my aunt wants to eat, you let her say it herself." ”
Xiao Er nodded, and saw that it was Xiao Xi who was digging for the purse today, so naturally he didn't dare to say more. Mrs. Liu accepted Xiaoxi's evaluation of her very well, and said to Xiao Er, "Just follow her!" ”
Mrs. Liu continued, "Let's have a steamed crab, it needs to be big." ”
"The crab has long legs, and there are thorns on the legs to clamp the mouth, and my mouth is bleeding from the last time." After speaking, Xiaoxi was also aggrieved, and gently touched the corner of her mouth with her hand, and there was indeed a small scar.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained: "What I want is steamed." ”
Xiao was overjoyed and said, "It's just that the mouth is clamped when it's steamed, and the raw ones are bundled,"
Xiao Xifeng said to Xiao Er quickly, "Let's have a preserved egg mixed with tofu, the tofu here is very white and soft, auntie, you must like to eat it." ”
Repeatedly and several times, Mrs. Liu also knew Xiaoxi's thoughts, but it was not easy to refuse Xiaoxi's praise just now, so she had to eat Xiaoxi's order silently, fried vegetables, preserved egg tofu, fried peanuts, fried potatoes, and the only meat dish on the table was scrambled eggs with gourd.
As long as she greeted Xiaoxi's ancestor in her heart, her tone was also very unhappy, "I said girl, you said that you would pay me ten taels of silver after the deed, and I almost broke my leg in the past six months." ”
Xiaoxi said lightly, "Auntie, I know that you are also very hard for my business, but what I am looking for is not my brother, but Xianggong, you see that he is too young." ”
Looking at Mrs. Liu's sleeves, she should have wanted to show her ability to sprinkle, "Auntie, you think you should take this child home, otherwise our sins will be heavy." I'm afraid that you and I will go to the eighteenth layer of hell if we die in the future, this is a scourge for young children, and we can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow. ”
Mrs. Liu's heart trembled when she heard this, and she forcefully said, "Don't scare my wife, their family agrees." ”
"Their family agrees, but the government doesn't agree, you are destroying young children, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid that Xiao Er will go to tell the people of the government, there are people from the government everywhere in this Xianxianglou, and people will definitely not let us go when they hear this, I'm nothing, I'm afraid that no one will dare to look for you as a matchmaker in the future, right, right?"
"Don't scare me, the government doesn't care about this."
Xiaoxi said with some worry, "Auntie, the notice issued by the government yesterday, don't you believe it, go to the government to ask?" ”
Mrs. Liu knew that when she went to the government to ask if she was incompetent or not, she would be spurned by others. There are only dumb people who can't say that they have bitterness in eating Coptis chinensis, I wanted to knock her on a stroke, but I didn't expect Xiaoxi to have so many eyes, so I had to admit it. Xiaoxi also knew that Mrs. Liu was really angry in her heart, and she didn't mention the matter of paying the silver, after all, she didn't want to do too much.
Mrs. Liu was very unwilling, but she couldn't think of any way to deal with this girl for a while.
"Auntie, don't be angry, you are so good to me, I must remember it, you take these two taels of silver to drink tea. The money I said before was also for fun, don't take it seriously" Mrs. Liu took the child out of the restaurant like a fugue.
Xiao Xi also left the restaurant happily, and once relied on his wit to defeat the difficult Liu matchmaker, and he didn't lose much silver. It seems that this matchmaker is extremely unreliable, Xiaoxi decided to go back and discuss with Wei to change the number of ways, and think of a way to find a satisfactory husband without spending money, so as to have the best of both worlds.
After Xiaoxi left, a smiling and tall figure also came out behind the screen, that person's ordinary face, but his temperament and charm were extremely noble and elegant, and he looked so good in an ordinary black suit.
I saw that he kept staring at Xiaoxi's back, and he couldn't help but chuckle just now, but it didn't take long for him to become a little low and melancholy, and the soft deep meaning in his eyes made him look a little sad!
