Chapter 16: Trouble

Qu Xiaomo looked confused, quietly raised his head and glanced at the man who was talking, only to see that although he was gorgeously dressed, the jade pendant he was wearing was too heavy, and the folding fan bones in his hands were all golden, but his face was a little sallow, and his eyes were cloudy, and the bags under his eyes were too heavy, which was obviously overindulgence.

glanced sideways at the ice cube man, only to see him slowly pick up the teacup and blow the tea leaves on it, and then took a sip and put it down before saying, "I picked it up on the road, and I didn't sign the deed of sale." ”

The man in green clothes bared a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled: "That's a pity!" ”

The conversation between the two did not disturb the people who were still talking, and the housekeeper at the door came to the banquet, so Master Shen got up and took everyone to the dining room.

The masters and servants naturally can't go in, so they can only wait outside, looking at the maids bringing in a plate of fragrant dishes, Qu Xiaomo swallowed her saliva, she went out in a hurry in the morning and didn't get a drop of water, at this time she smelled the aroma and her stomach couldn't help but be a little noisy and hungry, but she didn't dare to leave easily, although the little maids from her own master were waiting outside.

When he was so hungry that he was worried about his lungs, a maid came out and said, "This little brother, your master asked the slave to invite you to sit in the pavilion over there." ”

What's going on?

Qu Xiaomo turned his head to look at the pavilion that the little maid pointed to, and he didn't see anyone, but he still obediently walked over with the little maid.

After entering the pavilion, the little maid said, "The little brother will be here later, and the slave family will come when he goes." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Qu Xiaomo walked into the pavilion and sat down with a confused face, raised his eyes and looked at the place where Fang had just stood, only to find that she was not the only one who was hungry, and several people there were holding their stomachs and swallowing saliva.

After waiting for a while, I saw that the maid came back with a tray, with two buns, a bowl of porridge and a little pickles on it, and placed them on the stone table in the pavilion, and said: "This is what Jin Gongzi ordered the slave to bring to the little brother, the slave and the maid still have something to do, so they don't wait for the little brother to eat, if the little brother finishes using the dishes and chopsticks, it will be good to stay this time, and the slave and the maid will come back to clean up later." ”

After speaking, she withdrew from the pavilion without waiting for her to respond, Qu Xiaomo, who had not eaten a drop of water, now looked at this porridge and pickled vegetable and meat bun like the delicacies of the mountains and seas, since it was the ice cube man who specially ordered it to be given to her, she ate it unceremoniously, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This ice cube is still a little conscience, and it is a good master, and you have to serve it well and pat it more in the future.

As soon as he was full, there was a sound of human voices outside the pavilion, and when he looked up, he saw the man in the overindulgent costume walking into the pavilion with his little servant, thinking that he had opened the folding fan in his hand with a graceful brush, and his face was as if he had caught Qu Xiaomo's handle, and said proudly: "As a slave, I am not waiting for my master outside, but I am hiding here to eat, do you know that this is a great rebellion." ”

Qu Xiaomo didn't just have the relationship between this son and the ice cube, he thought about it for a moment, then got up and bent over him to say goodbye, and then said: "The son doesn't know, this is the little maid ordered by the master to send it to the little one, not the small one for private consumption." ”

"Oh? That golden sting treats you so well. ”

The man hooked his lips and closed the fan to provoke Qu Xiaomo's chin, seeing that his appearance was extremely good, he sighed twice: "It's really a good one, no wonder that cold-hearted golden sting would send someone to bring you food, what's wrong?" Did you go to bed? ”

Qu Xiaomo's eyes were cold when he heard this, he took two steps back and avoided his fan, and said, "Childe is cautious." ”

"Huh, Shen Yan?"

The man laughed twice and said, "Don't you know that the whole capital knows that your master is a broken sleeve?" I'm in my twenties, and I don't even have a bed-warming maid. ”

what? Ice cube is a broken sleeve? Impossible! However, there is indeed no concubine in the house, and in this world where men are only human at the age of thirteen or fourteen, it is indeed rare, but to say that men... Except for the guards, there is no one who can have much contact with him!

But regardless of whether the ice cube is a broken sleeve or not, in this world, a man is said to have a broken sleeve, which is a humiliation to his life, and she is now a slave of the ice cube naturally has to be maintained, when even a cold face said: "The little one looks at the son of a wealthy family who knows literature and etiquette, but I didn't expect it to be a villain who maliciously slandered behind others." ”

"What did you say?" The man listened to Qu Xiaomo scolding himself for being a villain, and immediately lowered his face.

Although Qu Xiaomo was a little afraid, but thinking that although the ice cubes were cold, she still remembered that she didn't use breakfast, knowing that she was too hungry, so she sent someone to send her porridge to drink. ”

"Are you tired of being alive?"

The man angrily pointed at her and said to his own servant behind him, "Kill her for me." ”

The little guy behind him is tall and big, Qu Xiaomo secretly regretted that his brain was hot just now to maintain the ice cubes, he was eating and drinking spicy in it and didn't know that he was told behind his back that he broke his sleeves, she was a weak little guy, what did she do to protect him offended this rich man, and what was even worse was what if she was beaten up with ice cubes for a while but didn't stand on her side?

She really regrets not being able to do it in the first place!

The sturdy little guy was pressing towards her step by step, and Qu Xiaomo, who was forced to the side of the pavilion, could only bite the bullet and try to remember the little tricks he had learned to fight perverts in college.

Just as the little guy suddenly pounced on her and wanted to press her Taishan, a long leg appeared between the two, and kicked the little guy unceremoniously, only to see the little guy crash on the pavilion pillar, spitting blood and not moving.

Qu Xiaomo looked at the familiar black boot pattern in front of him, and when he raised his eyes, it was the ice cube man, and he couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his eyes, and called cordially as if he had seen his father: "The big shopkeeper." ”

I saw Jin Yu retract his legs lightly, patted the hem of his clothes, ignored Qu Xiaomo's eyes that looked at him like his own father, looked at the man who had been stunned with calm eyebrows, and said coldly: "Wu Gui, have you forgotten the lesson from last time?" ”

That Wu Gui's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, looked at Jin Yu in horror, and said: "Jin Gongzi, it's all misunderstandings, it's all misunderstandings, and it's all because that little guy doesn't choose what to say." ”

Seeing that this Wu Gui actually bit himself, Qu Xiaomo suddenly jumped to his feet and scolded: "Fart, you first humiliated the big shopkeeper in front of me, this is the way of the villain, I am the little guy of the big shopkeeper, so I naturally want to maintain the reputation of the big shopkeeper and not let you tarnish it." ”

When scolding and justifying, Qu Xiaomo did not forget to beautify himself and show his loyalty.

Jin Yu glanced at her coldly, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and instructed the squinting eyes and coffin face that followed her, and said, "Broken arm." ”

Squinting and smiling, he walked into the pavilion, looked at Wu Gui, who was already frightened and convulsed, and said, "You haven't eaten enough of last year's lesson?" dared to smear the master. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed his left hand, only to hear a clicking sound of fractures, followed by Wu Gui's sharp screams, Qu Xiaomo's scalp tingled when he heard it, and he hurriedly trotted out of the pavilion and followed behind Jin Yu.

All the way out of the house and got into the carriage, the group returned along the road they came, halfway Qu Xiaomo hesitated for a long time or had the courage to lift the curtain of the car, poked his head out, looked at the ice cubes in the car that were still reading coldly, and asked cautiously: "Big shopkeeper, offended that Wu Gui... You okay? ”

I haven't seen the people inside take care of himself for a long time, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly said: "The small one is also for your sake, this Wu Gui said that the big shopkeeper is a broken sleeve, and the small one is angry but scolds him for a villain. ”

Looking at today's situation, this Wu Gui is afraid that he has a grudge against her and the ice cube, he doesn't dare to move the ice cube, but she naturally dares to do it, so she should try to go out by herself as little as possible in the future, so as not to let people take advantage of the loophole, and the beating is small, and the life is gone.

Jin Zhen, who was turning the pages of the book, naturally knew that this kid was playing a small abacus, and he didn't pay attention to the entire Wu family, let alone a Wu Gui who was not in the climate, but the kid in front of him was right, Wu Gui didn't dare to provoke him, but he didn't necessarily want to trouble him, so he still sent someone to follow secretly, if he died, who would give him a disaster.

Qu Xiaomo looked at the ice cube and still ignored himself, thinking that he really planned to fend for himself, but at the moment, his heart was cold, with a hint of grievance, and he called out unwillingly: "Big shopkeeper? ”

Jin Yu finally raised his eyes and glanced at her rarely, and then continued to stare at the book card, Qu Xiaomo selfishly retracted his head, put down the curtain, yes, she didn't go out, could it be that Wu Gui could still send someone to break in, and wait for six months to quietly return to Jiazhou.

However, man is not as good as heaven.

On this day, Qu Xiaomo was called to the kitchen by the old housekeeper and instructed to send the freshly baked osmanthus cake to the ice cube man who was checking the accounts in Lanyue Building, so he had to go out with a food box in fear.

Lanyue Tower is on the main road, Lijin Mansion is not far, but it is not close, it is a little close to take a carriage, and it is just a cup of tea to walk through the alley on foot.

Out of the mansion, looking around, Qu Xiaomo didn't notice the people who were hiding in the crowd waiting for the opportunity, and followed the path into the alley, and the people sent by Wu Gui had been waiting outside the mansion for several days, and when they saw her going out, they naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, even if they followed.

The small alleys are generally other backyards, and there are few people coming and going, Qu Xiaomo has gone with the old shopkeeper to send a snack to the ice cubes before, and he knows the way, and as soon as he walked into the alley, he noticed that the sound behind him was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw four or five people who looked like small houses coming towards him, and immediately spread his feet and ran wildly.

Seeing this, the guards who were arranged to follow him couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile and followed, and the four people who followed behind Qu Xiaomo also began to chase after him when they saw him running away.

Finally, because he was not very familiar with this alley road, he was blocked by two people who took a shortcut at the corner, and Qu Xiaomo, who was holding a food box, was forced to stand against the wall, although he was terrified, he looked at the people holding sticks, and his face still showed that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change, and said coldly: "What are you going to do?" Want to rob in broad daylight? ”
