The plot this time is different from last time, there are two gossip experts in Xiaoliu and Xiaomuzi, and everyone knows what happened to these two people recently.

It was said before that this Yulian was probably going to be included in the prefect's house as a concubine after the year, but somehow the Lord Zhizhou and the lady of Zhizhou did not agree to her entering the door, and she was grounded by the Zhizhou Gongzi and sent guards to guard it, and at this time, Yulian had a late-night tryst with Jiang Gongzi on the first day of the New Year, which... Looking for your next home?

Qu Xiaomo touched his smooth chin while listening to these gossip men talking about things, since this Yulian has become the confidant of Zhizhou Gongzi, why does she still have to get involved with Jiang Gongzi? And every time the two meet, they look like they don't see anyone, if you want to say that the two don't have any adultery, she doesn't believe it, hey~ I feel sorry for the son of Zhizhou who wears a green hat, and the saddest thing is that this green hat is still given by the woman she likes and her old enemy.

Not long after the dishes were served, the four of them came down, and the little guy next to Jiang Gongzi went to the account counter to settle the bill, took out three ingots and ten taels of silver and put them on the table and said: "Don't look for it, the rest will invite the little second brother to drink, but you haven't seen me today, can you understand?" ”

This is a naked hush money! Qu Xiaomo hurriedly nodded in response, and the little six who were sitting around also got up and bowed their heads, and said in unison: "I know, we haven't received anyone since after midnight tonight." ”

The little guy smiled with satisfaction, turned around and went out to follow his master.

Seeing the people walking away, everyone sat down one after another, Qu Xiaomo settled the money for the wine and food, thirty taels of silver went to eighteen taels, and there were twelve taels left, found the money and locked the account cabinet, took out the change and put it on the table around everyone, and said, "What should I do about this?" ”

Everyone was not as worried as Qu Xiaomo, as if they were not surprised, Xiao Muzi raised his hand and pulled the silver on the table, and said: "It's spent, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, what are you panicking about." ”

"Didn't he say he wouldn't let us say it? That's hush money! Looking at the brocade robes they wore and the jade pendants they wore, can we afford to provoke them? Qu Xiaomo was still a little worried.

Xiao Liu patted her on the shoulder and said: "It's just a dozen taels of silver, if it's really hush money, he has to pay ten taels per person, this is just for us not to talk much, just rest assured to spend it, just don't go out and shout about their private things." ”

Qu Xiaomo glanced at everyone, and saw that they all looked strange, and felt a little relieved in her heart, she was really still a shopkeeper who had not entered the world deeply! Look, these guys are all old fritters.

In the end, everyone unanimously let Qu Xiaomo keep the twelve taels of silver, because they all have to be spent, this is everyone's money, and when the old shopkeeper comes back, these people here can rest together for a day, and when the time comes, they will go out to eat and drink together, and Qu Xiaomo, this young man, spends money carefully like a girl, so he can take care of the money.

This little episode was not taken to heart, and the old shopkeeper and the people who went home to reunite came back on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

When he came back and counted the things and looked at the accounts, he made no mistakes, and the old shopkeeper took advantage of the fact that there were not many guests to take them on vacation.

Everyone slept until three poles in the morning this day, and when Qu Xiaomo woke up, the snoring of Xiaoliu next door was still earth-shattering, and while the people in the courtyard were not awake, he put on his clothes and tidied up and went out to wash his face, took the toilet paper, and rushed to the thatched house.

This group of people, there are men inside, the thatched house is the most unsafe, she gets up early on weekdays, today she sleeps late, the day is already bright, this time does not take advantage of them not to wake up, and can only hold back after a while.

This toilet paper is also a precious thing, she went to the bookstore to cut four feet of the cheapest straw paper, which is the kind used by children in the village when they first learn to read, and it cost a tael of silver, it really hurts to death, but she really can't bear to break a small branch like others and go in, even my God! I can't stand it when I think about it.

After squatting out, he just happened to meet Xiao Muzi rushing towards this, and he yelled from afar: "Get out of the way, Lao Tzu can't hold it back." ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly jumped to the side and gave him a way.

Seeing him enter, he slammed the wooden door shut, and then there was a bang, Qu Xiaomo tightened his eyebrows, covered his nose, and quickly turned around and left.

Yesterday, I made an appointment to go out, and when everyone woke up and dressed, I waited for the cold wind and warm sun to go out.

Now it's lunch, everyone naturally went to have a full meal first, and unanimously decided to come to the Liu Da wine shop that Qu Xiaomo said last time.

Qu Xiaomo was worried that the small shop was not open, and when he walked to see that it was open, there was no diner inside, but he saw one who came to sell wine.

The boss saw that there were a few young brothers who came to buy wine, and asked the proprietress to weigh the wine for the people who bought wine outside, and came to greet him personally.

"What are you going to eat?" The boss asked everyone with a smile

Qu Xiaomo reported a few dishes packed last time, and then asked the boss: "I don't know what other specialty dishes the boss has here?" ”

"It's just some home-cooked food, not as good as big restaurants, such as stir-fried boy chicken, drunk duck, braised pork and so on."

"Is there beef or lamb here?" Qu Xiaomo looked at the boss with some expectation in her eyes, she wanted to drink a bowl of mutton soup on such a cold day.

The boss frowned slightly and said, "This beef is very expensive, we can't buy it in this small shop, but there is a pot of mutton bone soup." ”

Qu Xiaomo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "How much is a bowl?" ”

The boss waved his hand and said: "No money, this mutton bone soup is my daughter-in-law's hands and feet can't warm up in winter, the doctor said that it is much better to drink some mutton soup in winter, so I went to buy a meat bone, but the smell is too strong, I drink one or two bowls on weekdays, and the rest can only be poured out. ”

Qu Xiaomo happily responded, and then asked them if they wanted it, everyone shook their heads repeatedly, the southerners in this place don't like mutton, and the mutton that comes in from the kitchen in Futai Restaurant every day is just a few catties.

They didn't drink Qu Xiaomo asked and asked for their opinions, and ordered six or seven dishes, adding up to eleven or twelve dishes, which should be enough for them to eat, and ordered two jars of wine, there were seven or eight of them in total, and two jars were just right.

The wine was served first, there were peanuts, melon seeds and red dates on the table, everyone poured a cup and drank the peanuts, and after a while, the dishes were served one after another, Qu Xiaomo didn't want to drink and drank mutton soup, people in this place don't eat mutton, so they won't go to the smell, this bowl of soup, the smell is heavy enough, but she still drank it.

Everyone was eating and chatting about interesting things, joking, and when they were half-full, they thought of the sound of suona outside, and everyone turned their heads and stretched their necks to look, only to see two people who played suona behind a dressed flower branch, and the matchmaker wearing a big red silk flower shook the handkerchief and happily led a group of people carrying the box behind her to the front, the box was hung with red silk, and it looked like which family was hiring.

Xiao Liu looked at the matchmaker in front of him and said loudly: "Isn't this the most powerful matchmaker in the city, Aunt Fu?" ”

"You know?" Qu Xiaomo turned his head sideways and asked him, Xiaoliu was the first person to enter Futai Building, he was originally in Jiazhou City, but after the death of his parents, his relatives, who were not wealthy in those days, were unwilling to support him, so he came out to beg for a living.

Xiao Liu retracted his gaze and sandwiched a fried peanut, chewed and said: "This Aunt Fu can be regarded as a celebrity, there is no matchmaker who she can't say, many official wives and rich wives are looking for her to pull the thread, which is very popular." ”

"That's a lot of money!" Xiao Muzi also retracted his gaze and said

"It's quite a lot, I heard that a two-entry yard has been built."

After frying, the boss who untied his apron came out with the curtain, and just heard their conversation, so he interjected with a smile: "If it weren't for his son who was useless and a good gambler, I'm afraid there would be more than one two-entry yard now." ”

Qu Xiaomo took over and said, "I don't know where she's going." ”

"The Li family in the north of the city!"

The proprietress who came over with a pot of hot tea said: "When I was shopping for vegetables, I heard the servants of the Li family who came out to buy talking to people who knew each other, and today is the day when the eldest son of the Jiang family hires the second lady of the Li family." ”

Qu Xiaomo and the others gathered face to face when they heard this, they just saw the Jiang family's son and Yulian having a private meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they were hired by someone else's family in the fourth day of the new year?

Although they were all confused, no one said anything, after all, the meal they ate now was still Jiang Gongzi's silver.

Listening to the proprietress continue: "This Jiang family and the Li family are also considered to be the right family, I heard that Miss Li Er looks good, and the son of the Jiang family is also a talent." ”

Qu Xiaomo sighed twice in his heart, who knows what kind of heart and liver is under the beautiful skin.

The fire was full of food and drink and settled the account, a table full of dishes cost nine taels in adding two jars of wine, and twelve taels of silver also gave birth to three taels, Qu Xiaomo took the one or two taels of silver found by the boss and the two taels left on his body, and asked, "What should I do with these three taels?" ”

Everyone was also in trouble, and Xiao Muzi came up with an idea: "Why don't we get together, how about coming here for dinner?" ”

"Done."

Everyone unanimously decided to do so, and several people went to the market together, but the things bought by the people were not the same, and the convenience was different, and after making an appointment for dinner, they dispersed.

Qu Xiaomo didn't have anything to buy today, so he walked around the road with Xiao Liu and Xiao Muzi, and just finished eating and drank a bowl of hot mutton soup, the small hand warmer also made the proprietress add charcoal when she went out at the checkout, and she was warm all over her body at this time.

Wandering aimlessly, the two people around me don't know what to buy, anyway, the sun is just right now, bask in the sun to kill and sterilize.

As she walked, she looked at the vendors who came out to set up stalls while the weather was warm, but they were all gadgets, this moth had never eaten fruit in winter, she was now hungry, and she was really looking forward to the fruitful season in autumn.

But if there is no fruit, you can buy some pickled candied fruit to taste, and when passing by a snack shop, Qu Xiaomo went in and bought a piece of sweet and sour preserves, and ate them while walking.
