Chapter 44: Bait
"Sister, I heard those two people say that this Xiao Xu is the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng." Sun Xiao's scumbag gossip.
"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing," Jiang Jiang stopped him: "In case someone with a heart listens to it, you can't eat and walk around." ”
"Didn't I just tell you," Sun Xiaobei talked about Xing Zhengnong, and didn't care about Jiang Jiang's warning: "I heard that this Xiao Xu's nominal father is called Xiao Zhongze, and everyone calls him Xiao Ersilly."
said that there was such a time, Xiao Er yawned stupidly, and a fly flew into his mouth, and he swallowed it with a mouth. After that, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and heard that flies would lay maggots, and if the flies got maggots into his stomach, these maggots were afraid that they would bite their intestines and die quietly.
He was so anxious to die that he thought about how to kill the fly and keep it from getting maggots in his stomach, and guess what? He took a packet of fly medicine and swallowed it! He was thinking about poisoning the fly with the fly medicine, and he didn't want to be poisoned himself after taking it.
If the maid hadn't found out and revived him in time, people wouldn't know why he took poison. Sun Xiaobei couldn't laugh after speaking, it was the first time he had heard such a stupid person.
Jiang Jiang also wanted to laugh, but I don't know why, his right eyelid jumped vigorously, as if something was going to happen.
After returning to the residence and having a simple bite of lunch, Jiang Jiang said to Sun Xiaobei: "I'm not feeling well, you and Second Brother Liu from the Ice Bureau will go to deliver sorbet in the afternoon." Thirty cents is paid to him. ”
Sun Xiaobei was already familiar with the matter of delivering sorbet, so he said: "Then you can rest!" It's the same with Second Brother Liu. ”
Jiang Jiang thought for a while, and said to him again: "When I get to the Fengxiao Pavilion, apologize to Aunt Mei for me, just say that I am not feeling well, and I will make amends to her tomorrow." ”
Sun Xiaobei pursed her mouth and said, "Then she will definitely count me down and say that I am ugly." ”
"You're still young, you haven't grown up." Jiang Jiang comforted him and said: "Besides, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, when we make enough money, we will dress you up well, and you will be the same as those boys on the street." ”
Sun Xiaobei listened, scratched his head and walked away with a smile.
In the afternoon, Sun Xiaobei sent Bing back, and Jiang Jiang asked him if something had happened.
Sun Xiaobei said truthfully: "It's not a big deal, but that Aunt Mei nagged me a few words, saying that she wanted to hire a doctor for you to take a look, I was afraid that it was hot and heatstroke, and asked me to bring you a few pieces of mung bean cake."
The other one is an old fat woman in the brothel, I haven't seen her before, ask me why didn't you send the sorbet? I said that you were not feeling well, so she asked you if you would go tomorrow, and I said that it would be good to tell me something, and she said that she wanted more sorbet, but she didn't talk to me, just said that you went. Nothing else. ”
"She probably thinks you can't be the master!" Jiang Jiang didn't think about anything else, because many shops had proposed to her to increase the supply of sorbet, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei sent sorbet to Shixiang Street, and saw a fat old woman standing in front of Qixiang Pavilion from a distance, with a short green jacket and a bright red skirt. From a distance, it looks like a big green carrot.
Aunt Mei of Feng Xiao Pavilion was still strange when she saw it: "Usually Aunt Hua is standing in front of the door, why did you invite this Grandma Hades out today?" ”
Jiang Jiang didn't know Aunt Hua, the first time she came to sell sorbet was Aunt Hua, and later she also handed over to the little turtle slaves in the store.
However, Sun Xiaobei saw Aunt Hua San yesterday, so she said to Jiang Jiang with a mouth over there: "It's that old fat woman, she asked me about you yesterday." ”
Jiang Jiang looked over there with cold eyes, silent.
By this time, she had already vaguely felt that something was wrong, if Aunt Hua asked Sun Xiaobei about herself yesterday, it would not be unexpected, because it was also possible to increase the demand for sorbet.
But waiting outside the door early in the morning is obviously not a matter of a few sorbets.
By the time the shop on the right hand side was finished, the carriage turned to the left, and Aunt Hua was already looking at Jiang Jiang with a fat smile on her face.
Jiang Jiang calmly sent sorbets to the merchants in order, and when he arrived at the door of Qixiang Pavilion, he still looked the same as usual.
"Yo, this dear little brother is so handsome!" Aunt Hua threw a wink at Jiang Jiang, but unfortunately the corners of her eyes drooped so badly that her eyes couldn't fly at all.
"You asked me yesterday?" Jiang Jiang said straight to the point: "I don't know what to order?" ”
"Little Sanzi come out!" Aunt Hua raised her voice and shouted to the back: "Carry the sorbet in with this kid!" Her short fat index finger pointed at Sun Xiaobei.
The turtle slave named Xiao Sanzi came out and carried a box of sorbet with Sun Xiaobei.
"This child is pitiful and thin," Aunt Hua showed a compassionate look: "Ask Miss Xixia to come out and take this child to eat some pastries, there are no guests yet!" ”
There was a soft female voice in it that agreed, and at this time, Jiang Jiang had basically decided that the old woman was deliberately supporting Sun Xiaobei, and wanted to say something to himself alone.
But most of the time it's not a good thing, because the brothel is a relatively sensitive place, how can the people here be innocent? Besides, I didn't have any friendship with them before.
This old woman is not a good type at first glance, but at this time she has a flattering smile on her face, which is in line with that sentence - nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
But despite what she thought in her heart, she was silent on the surface.
When Aunt Hua saw Sun Xiaobei leaving, she stretched out her fat hand to try to hold one of Jiang Jiang's hands.
But Jiang Jiang dodged as soon as he dodged, Jiang Jiang dodged very technically, so people couldn't see that she was doing it on purpose.
"The old body has also lived to be more than fifty years old, and it is the first time I have seen a person like you. Brother Jiang is a native of Ling Tian? Aunt Hua asked tentatively.
"The kid is rude, I haven't asked you what to call it?" Jiang Jiang kicked the ball back and wanted to trap me? It's not that easy.
"You can call me the third aunt," the third aunt continued to smile and said: "I saw you in the house yesterday as if I liked something, but unfortunately the old body is desolate under my knees, and I have saved a lot, but there is no one to inherit, so I want to recognize you as a righteous son, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
Aunt Hua had already planned it, and if she had told Jiang Jiang directly, she would probably not agree.
It's better to tempt her with benefits first, and when she takes the bait, she recognizes herself as a godmother. It is logical to introduce him to Xiao Gongzi.
If Jiang Jiang is greedy for his pension money and is willing to be his own righteous son, then as long as he is slightly persuaded and coaxed, he can obediently climb into Xiao Gongzi's bed.
How much money can he make a year as a vendor selling sorbets? What's more, seeing that autumn is about to begin, the sorbet business will soon enter the off-season.
