However, a person's unpleasant golden sting did not affect Qu Xiaomo for long, and after plucking out the chicken feathers, he began to disembowel, this little bit of work is done lightly, and there is no reason why he can't look at blood or anything as a girl, after all, when he was in the woods, it was living human blood and corpses, and it was a person who almost walked around the ghost gate, and it was no problem to kill a chicken.

After cleaning up, chop the pieces into the pot, this chicken is really fat, add a little bit of medicinal materials bought from the old doctor, they are all ordinary people can eat healthy medicinal materials, this chicken soup is not only eaten by the golden sting, the three of them also have to eat, now the weather is hot and it will stink, besides, will the golden sting this boy eat the rest of the food from the previous day? If conditions allow, he is afraid that he will not even eat the rest of the last meal.

Now that he has almost meat for three meals a day, Qu Xiaomo feels that he has gained more than one or two catties than before, and Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang are now a little oily on their faces, not as sallow as they were when they first saw before.

Drinking chicken soup during the meal, Aunt Fang sighed lightly with a smile and said: "Since you came, I can smell the aroma of meat every day, stained with your light, the old man and I have gained a lot of weight, I met the old sister in the field yesterday, and asked me how I got rich." ”

Qu Xiaomo said with a smile: "It's just a little meat, and the big shopkeeper doesn't like to eat things that stay overnight, and it's a waste to throw it away, it's better for us to eat it together, I also rely on the blessing of the big shopkeeper to be so delicious and delicious. ”

"Before, it was still a shopkeeper?" Uncle Fang asked in surprise

Qu Xiaomo looked at Jin Zhen, who had been eating silently with his eyes down, and said with a smile: "Yes, I met the big shopkeeper when I entered Beijing later, and then I stayed by his side to serve." ”

Regarding the golden sting, the two elders didn't dare to ask more questions and changed the topic.

After two days, Qu Xiaomo was washing clothes by the well on this day, originally she wanted to go to the river to wash, but she was not at ease when Jin Yu was at home alone, so she washed by the well.

Just soaked in water, smeared with soap, then listened to the voice outside the courtyard, looked up to see that it was Zhou Mei, only to see that he was dressed in a brand new light pink clothes, like a young lady in a big house, wearing three silver hairpins on his head, a silk flower in the shape of a begonia in his ears, with thin powder and rouge on his face, his waist was tightened by a belt to hook out of the small waist, and his chest was bulging.

Qu Xiaomo pursed his lips and smiled, got up and wiped his hands, greeted her, and said, "Why is Sister Zhou here?" Come in and sit. ”

Saying that, she turned around and went into the house and moved a chair out, Zhou Mei responded, lowered her head and raised her hand to pick up a strand of hair that slipped from her ears, which was very charming, and walked in with a somewhat weird lotus step, shaking the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Come and see Jin Gongzi." ”

However, the person who wanted to attract attention only stared at the book that Qu Xiaomo bought in the county a few days ago, and didn't even lift her eyelids.

Qu Xiaomo moved the chair out and put it down, then sat back in place and began to wash clothes, Zhou Mei saw that Jin Yu only stared at the book in his hand and didn't look at her, so she thought that she should be fascinated by reading, and didn't find out that she was coming, so she lowered her voice and whispered, looking extremely gentle, and said, "What book is Jin Gongzi reading?" ”

As he spoke, he approached him, and the smell of fat powder on his body instantly came to his nose, and Jin Yu finally raised his head, his eyes coldly cast on Zhou Mei, who was only three steps away from him, and his voice was slightly sharp, and said, "Don't come near me." ”

Zhou Mei was startled by this sound, as if she was in an ice cellar, a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her head, she couldn't help but shiver in the hot summer, and instantly didn't dare to stop three steps away when she was too close, and only after a long time did she dare to breathe a sigh of relief when she retracted her gaze.

But he still mustered up the courage to ask in a coquettish voice that did not give up: "Jin Gongzi... I will pinch my shoulders a little, but do I want to loosen and loosen my son? The elders in the family all praised it well. ”

Jin Yu didn't look up, but said coldly: "Get out." ”

Zhou Mei, who has been flattered by those men for a long time, was deflated for the first time in front of such a beautiful man, and suddenly felt extremely aggrieved in her heart.

Jin Zhen's refusal to be thousands of miles away made this girl ignite her fighting spirit, thinking that she must take this person, whether it is because of her wealth or because of her skin, but also because now he treats himself as nothing, and when he hooks it in the future, he will see how he will show her face.

Knowing that today's flattery would not be successful, Zhou Mei was thick-skinned, so she turned around to find Qu Xiaomo to speak.

And Qu Xiaomo was busy washing clothes, and not far from them, Fang Cai saw the actions of the two of them, and when he saw Zhou Mei coming, he pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sister Zhou, come and sit, my husband doesn't like others to be close." ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his clothes and said, "If my sister teaches me fingering, I will press my husband when I learn it." ”

Zhou Mei sat down and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "This fingering is passed on by my mother, saying that it is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, if the girl wants to let Jin Gongzi relax, I am afraid that I will have to talk to him." ”

"That's it." Qu Xiaomo hung his head and smiled: "My husband doesn't like to get close to people, although my technique is not very good, but I can press it, and I won't trouble Sister Zhou." ”

Originally, Zhou Mei thought that Qu Xiaomo would care about her husband's body, and according to her words, she should have told Jin Gongzi to ask her to help press her shoulders loosely, why didn't this woman be nervous about Jin Gongzi's body at all.

Zhou Mei still wanted to say something to make Qu Xiaomo pay attention to it, but she asked again: "I don't know when Sister Zhou's marriage is set?" ”

Speaking of marriage, Zhou Mei felt uncomfortable and dissatisfied, although the family of the person she wanted to marry was also rich in the village, if she hadn't seen Jin Gongzi, that person's appearance was also handsome, but since she saw Jin Gongzi, she was full of that handsome face, and she was quite satisfied with that person before, but now she really looks where it is not pleasing to the eye.

immediately said with a disgusted face: "This family matter was set by my father, and I don't like it at all." ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, all the problems have been solved, I heard the aunt come back and say that the young man is handsome, treats people well, and the family is also rich, and such a good family is like enjoying happiness when he marries." Qu Xiaomo said

"When it comes to happiness, where can I compare to you, sister-in-law, look at you married such a good husband, and your family is a businessman, if only I could marry." Zhou Mei sighed with a sad face

"Hehehe..." Qu Xiaomo laughed dryly twice and said, "There will always be a good life when two people work hard." ”

Zhou Mei pouted, she didn't want to work hard, she just wanted to be ready-made, what good is it to marry that person, what if there are a few taels of silver in the family? You can't go out to do farm work every day to bask in the sun, where is it better than marrying a merchant, going out with a sedan chair and a carriage, wearing silk and satin, and a herd of slaves to serve.

But when it comes to slaves, she is strange, why doesn't Jin Gongzi and the two of them have a maid by their side? When he asked: "I said sister, why don't you come out with a maid, how tired this laundry is!" ”

Qu Xiaomo glanced at Jin Zhen and said, "Husband said that it's not good to bring too many people when you go out, and you brought a small servant when you go out, but I sent it back to deliver the message." ”

"So that's it..."Zhou Mei responded, and was curious about her days in the house, so she said: "Sister, when you were in Jiazhou, did you go out in a sedan chair and a carriage?" ”

Qu Xiaomo smiled and said exaggeratedly according to her words: "Yes, although we are merchants, we have to take a sedan chair when we go out, so we can be worthy of our identity, and we are wearing silk and satin, wouldn't it be bad for people passing by if we don't sit in a sedan chair." ”

"And not only do you have to ride in a sedan chair and carriage, but the slaves who accompany you also have to be in groups, and the more people there are, the more you can show your status and wealth."

"Are all the beautiful golden hairpins on those bodies? I see that the ladies in the county are like this. Zhou Mei said with yearning and envy on her face.

Qu Xiaomo smiled at the corner of his lips, then nodded affirmatively, and said, "That's natural." ”

Generally, nouveau riche will wear a bunch of gold hairpins and silver hairpins on their heads, and those with a little background will be hostas, even if the head is inlaid with gold, it will not be full of hairpins.

Looking at her with envy on her face, Qu Xiaomo secretly buried his head and smiled, and Jin Zhen, who was holding the book, glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at her fooling people and snickering, like a kitten who had stolen dried fish, and for some reason he wanted to bend the corners of his lips.

And Zhou Mei is still yearning for such a life, and she looks down on her fiancé who is married, and feels that her own appearance and posture are no worse than the Jin family in front of her, she can join the merchant to enjoy fragrant and spicy food, she must be able to, there is a handsome boy in front of her who hooks her heart, she has to seize the opportunity.

It's just that this Jin family is watching every day, and Jin Gongzi heard that she can't walk now, which makes her unable to find a chance.

The two then chatted about the making of some jewelry and clothes, Qu Xiaomo's eyes rolled, and said, "This jewelry!" They are all made by going to the silver building, the patterns can be painted by themselves, or you can ask the craftsman to make them for you according to the flowers you want, such as plum blossoms, orchids, clothes, naturally, the better the fabric, the more status can be shown, but there are also embroiderers who must be excellent. ”

After speaking, he said casually: "The sons of Jiazhou City are very fond of those plum blossoms and chrysanthemums, and they usually paint these on their clothes and fans when they go out. ”

Zhou Mei's pupils lit up when she heard this, and she quietly looked at Jin Yu, who was sitting and reading, and happened to see a green bamboo embroidered on the clothes on her body.

Qu Xiaomo continued to wash his clothes, as if he didn't notice Zhou Mei's expression at all.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Mei got up and said goodbye, and when she went back, it was obvious that she was in a good mood, Qu Xiaomo looked at her back with a hint of excitement, lowered her head and grinned.

It's rare to have one or two funny ones popping up on such a leisurely day, how can she not cooperate.
