Chapter 206 The Cruel Lady
"Hmm." Leisurely smiled and nodded, "I brewed a variety of soju the year before last, this time I came here and took some of each, the fifth grandfather tasted it, if you have that kind of favorite, I will let the family send it here in the future." ”
"Haha, that's a good feeling!" The fifth grandfather laughed heartily with satisfaction.
"Hehe, look at you, it's beautiful, isn't it?" The fifth grandmother smiled at her wife, but the smile was full of relief.
"Of course it's beautiful! My granddaughter honors me, and you don't let me be so beautiful! The fifth grandfather smiled and took a sip of wine, "Tsk--this wine is really good!" Come on, the eldest and the second and third, you can also taste ......"
Qin Huaixiu took the wine jug from his father's hand, poured himself a glass, and handed it to his younger brothers; In this way, basically everyone who can drink wine at the table poured a glass of wine in front of them, and then raised their glasses in unison to toast to the fifth grandfather.
The fifth grandfather raised his glass with a smile, and said majestically and kindly: "It's a new year again, and I don't have anything to wish for the old man, I just hope that Huai Xiu and the three of you can always be like brothers, friends, and brothers; There is no estrangement in the family, and there is no intrigue. And then I wish my grandchildren a happy day and a smooth and safe life. Come on, do it! ”
"Dry--" The people at the table, whether they were drinking wine or juice, raised their glasses in response after the fifth grandfather finished speaking.
After taking a sip of the wine in the cup, the fifth grandfather laughed out loud again, picked up the chopsticks and raised them twice, and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables......"
The dinner ended in such a lively atmosphere. After the meal, he leisurely took Si Ran and Mu Lan to the side hall and chatted with the fifth grandmother and the three aunts and other female dependents.
"If I'm not mistaken, Lan'er will be fifteen after this year, right?" The fifth grandmother chatted and chatted, and suddenly asked Mu Lan such a sentence.
"Yes." Mu Lan nodded softly.
"Can you marry someone?" The old lady continued.
Mu Lan's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head slightly shyly and shook it gently. Then he replied at a volume that matched the sound of mosquitoes: "Not yet." ”
The old lady looked happy and asked with confirmation, "Really?" ”
Mu Lan: "......"
Youran sat beside Mu Lan at this time, and after the fifth grandmother asked these questions, she felt that this old lady had a problem! Looking at this posture, it looks like it should be trying to protect the media.
Turning his head to look at Mu Lan's unnatural red face, he was really afraid that she would spontaneously combust if she was accidental, so she decided to help her! Besides, she always felt that there was something greasy between Cousin Mu Lan and Brother Mo Qi......
"What are you going to do when Grandma Fifth asks in such detail?" Leisurely pretended not to know.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking." The fifth grandmother's eyes flashed, and she hid all her thoughts, and replied leisurely with an amiable smile.
may be seeing that these juniors are here, and the old lady did not say what she planned to do. She replied like this, and it was not easy to make it clear that she was asking, so she could only continue to pretend that she couldn't do anything, nodded and said, "Oh, that's it." ”
"Hehe, what kind of this, you villain is quite transparent." The old lady has lived for such a long time, how can she not see the leisurely thoughts. Seeing her pretending to be stupid with herself, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Where? Obviously, the fifth grandmother has a lot of thoughts, but now she is talking about You'er. Leisurely and childishly, he looked innocent.
"Yo? You're still complaining about me? The fifth grandmother said with a smile.
"Where is it?" You Ran smiled very brightly, that smile is really as many doglegs as there are doglegs.
"Hehe, you!" The fifth grandmother shook her head helplessly.
Everyone in the hall covered their mouths and smiled, and Mu Lan also took this opportunity to adjust the embarrassing mentality just now, and his face quickly returned to his usual appearance.
The group then chatted for a while, until Yue'er quietly climbed the tree for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.
The holiday time of Bird & Bird College is the 26th day of the lunar month, and there is a half-day class in the morning, after which the students can go home. In order to wait for Qin Enran, a few people stayed in Fengxian for one more day; During this period, Youran and Qin Haoran checked all the accounts of the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion in Fengxian County.
At noon on the twenty-sixth, after lunch at the fifth grandfather's house, a few people stepped into the carriage on the return journey. Because the time to come out was a little late, it was impossible to go to Nancang County in half a day, and I didn't want to rush at night, so a few people totaled, took a little detour, and went to Mo County, which is between Nancang County and Feng County.
Due to the relationship at the end of the year, Moxian County is now very lively all day long. There are people who go back and forth to do New Year's goods, there are merchants who are shouting, and there are people who are rushing to the New Year's fair; There are also some young ladies who take advantage of the excitement of the New Year to come out on a date. In short, after their carriage entered the county seat, it became difficult to move an inch.
I lifted the curtains and looked outside, and it was already evening, when the sky was about to turn dark. Businesses lit bright and large red lanterns in front of their stores early in the morning, and various stalls on both sides of the street also hung various colored lanterns; A long street that becomes bright and dreamy because of these lanterns.
Leisurely sat in the carriage and admired it for a while, seeing that their carriage had only walked a short distance for such a long time, he put down the curtain and turned his head to Qin Haoran and said, "Brother, there are too many pedestrians on the street outside, and the carriage is not having a good time." Why don't we all get out of the car and walk? Not only is it fast, but you can also visit the night market. ”
Qin Haoran raised his head from the reading material in his hand, looked at Youran first, and then looked at the others; Seeing that the big guys agreed to leisurely this proposal, they nodded: "Okay, let them find a clean place to park." ”
Wan Lei drove the carriage and finally found a small Hu hole that was quite clean, and turned into it without thinking about it. Tighten the reins, let the carriage stop, and then jump off the carriageway: "Young master, you can get off." ”
After the group came down one by one, they walked up the street as if walking.
There is also a vegetable and fruit pavilion here in Mo County, built in the center of the main street they are walking on at this time, and their destination this time is there. A few people walked around, and after a while, they saw a few big characters in Vegetable and Fruit Xuan.
"What do you say? Without? As soon as he walked into the door of the Fruit and Vegetable Pavilion, he heard a sharp female voice.
"Yes, the last box of Sakya fruit has just been bought by this young lady; We don't have any other stock in our store either, so why don't you look at anything else? ”
Leisurely looking towards the place where the voice came from, I saw a person in a pink skirt, looking proudly at the shopkeeper who explained to her; Beside them stood another young lady in a pale blue skirt.
"Look at what! Miss Ben came here today to buy Sakya fruit, and you actually told me that there was no more? Will you do business? Tell your shopkeeper to come out and give me a good explanation. ”
After hearing her words, the shopkeeper knew that he had met a rude customer today. Thinking of this, the smile on his face disappeared a little, but his attitude was still very good and he explained: "This young lady is really sorry, this Sakya fruit has been selling very well in recent days, and it is often out of stock." Do you think that will work? Give you an appointment place, you leave the address of the mansion, and wait for the next batch of goods to be delivered, and the small one will send it to you in person. ”
"No! I'm going to buy it today. Don't tell me what is useful or not, go and get your shopkeeper! The lady in the pink skirt said unrelentingly.
This good thing has been said and persuaded to persuade, but who knows that this young lady is so difficult to greet! The shopkeeper had no choice but to listen to her request and go to the shopkeeper.
sighed silently and said, "Okay, this young lady, please wait a while, the little one will go and find the shopkeeper." ”
"Hmph, don't go yet." Miss Pink Skirt glared angrily at the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper left, another shopkeeper walked in that direction. As soon as he approached, he smiled and handed the freshly packed fruit basket in his hand to the young lady who had just been standing aside and had not spoken: "Miss, your fruit basket is ready." ”
The lady in the light blue skirt nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, and replied with a light smile: "Thank you." After saying that, he let his maid take the fruit basket, and then turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Miss Pink Skirt stopped in front of her in one step, blocking her way.
The young lady in the skirt frowned slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied with her behavior. However, as a beautiful girl, she can't behave too out of line even if she is dissatisfied. So she smiled slightly and asked puzzledly, "Is there something wrong with this young lady?" ”
"Humph!" Miss Pink Skirt snorted lightly, put down the arms she had just unfolded, hugged her chest, and said very arrogantly: "Take Miss Ben's things, just like this, how can there be such a cheap thing?" I warn you, if you know the face, put down the Sakya fruit in your hand, otherwise you won't want to step out of here today! ”
"You--" The maid in the skirt couldn't see the arrogance of the lady in the pink skirt, and took a step forward to find her to theorize.
"Nan'er." The young lady in the skirt gently called her maid, stepped forward, and said to the young lady in the pink skirt: "What this young lady just said, I really don't understand? When did the things I bought with my own money become Miss's? Please also ask the lady to give me an answer or two. ”
"Hmph, don't drag these crepe words for me, it's useless!" Miss Pink Skirt glared at her, with a hint of contempt in her tone, "Are people like you worthy of eating this Sakya fruit?" Don't look at who you are! Where is it like me, I am Guo Jianmei, the daughter of Lord Guo, the county commander, you can compare! As he spoke, he pretended to straighten out his sideburns.
Miss Skirt frowned slightly, looking at Miss Pink Skirt's gaze, there was anger, dissatisfaction, and anger; But all of these were forcibly suppressed in her heart. She knew that now was not the time to mess with the person in front of her, and she didn't dare to lose everyone's demeanor for such a person.
Officials and civilians often reflect the difference in identity at this moment; After hearing about the identity of Miss Pink Skirt, a group of onlookers were afraid of her. Everyone is like this, which makes Miss Pink Skirt even more proud.
"How? Scared, right? If you're afraid, hurry up and hand over the Sakya fruit, and take advantage of Miss Ben's good mood now, maybe I won't worry so much about you. ”
Miss Skirt clenched her hands tightly, glanced at Miss Pink Skirt, and then motioned to her maid to hand over the fruit basket in her hand.
"Miss ......" The maid named Nan'er gently called the young lady in the skirt, and after seeing her own young lady shaking her head at her, she could only helplessly and reluctantly put the fruit basket on the ground.
"And wait--"
