"Mu Qing, you were really powerful just now. ◢ With *Dream ◢ Small *.lā But you are not afraid of really killing people, and the government will come to you for trouble? The young man followed Mu Qing's side, his eyes full of admiration.
"It's okay, how strong my little girl can be, but it's just to look powerful and scare those people." Mu Qing kept under his feet and said nonchalantly. She was telling the truth, she was a twelve-year-old girl, with thin arms and legs, what strength could she have to beat that person down today, but it was just because the person drank too much wine that she picked up a bargain. In normal times, she avoided them as early as she saw them.
The young man was full of admiration when he saw Mu Qing's actions just now, but when Mu Qing said this, he suddenly didn't know how to continue the topic. Well, girl, although I think what you say may be true, you really don't have to say it.
The next day, Mu Qing was surrounded by everyone when she arrived at the processing workshop. It turned out that as soon as the young man came back last night, he couldn't wait to tell the people in the shop what happened on the road. The grocery store and the processing workshop are the same family, and the workers communicate with each other. So by the early morning, the workers in the processing workshop also knew about Mu Qing's beating last night.
"Mu Qing, were you really okay last night? If you want me to say, let the shopkeeper take you home at night. Look at the physique of those guys in the shop, which one can stand alone. "This is a maid of the Tian family, who was originally serving by Tian Niangzi's side, and later Tian Shunsheng said that he wanted to hire people, so he was transferred here.
"Yes, yes. When something happens, you have to protect them. "It's another maid.
The two maids sang and harmonized, but they devalued the guys in the shop as worthless.
The other helpers in the workshop laughed with joy when they heard the two maids singing and harmonizing. Mu Qing was also happy, but no matter what others said, she knew in her heart how many catties and taels she had. She clearly knew that she was just a fluke last night, and the next time she encountered those scoundrels, she would stay away.
When Tian Shunsheng came in, he saw a happy scene, he just came back from Linxian last night, and he hadn't been to the shop this morning, and he didn't know what happened last night. So as soon as he saw that everyone was happy, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "What do you say, so happy." It makes me happy to say it. ”
"It's nothing, they're just idle. How did you go to Linxian this time to talk? Mu Qing hurriedly gave the surrounding workers a color, and everyone dispersed in a hurry.
"It went well, I left them twenty bottles of glass cans to see how much they were selling. Besides, I'll tell you, there's not much of that glass bottle left, and you'll have to find a way to get some more. Speaking of business, Tian Shunsheng temporarily put the previous questions to the back of his head and discussed them with Mu Qing intently.
Mu Qing nodded casually, but in her heart she was thinking about where to find the one who sold glass bottles. From the man's all-round style, Mu Qing deduced that his family should be either rich or expensive. But the problem is that in the hierarchy of the present era, merchants are pariahs. If it weren't for the desperation, those who had a little head and face would not have gone into business. And Mu Qing also knew that in many big families, being a merchant meant giving up the inheritance of the family property.
Judging from the process of dealing with Mu Qing and Zhou Yuanqing, this person has obviously been in the business market for a long time, which is an interesting discovery.
In the end, Mu Qing decided to go to Zhou Yuanqing's house in the afternoon, no matter what, when Zhou Yuanqing left, he said that he could go there to find him if he had something, and I believe that the people who stayed there had their own special ways to contact him.
After promising that Tian Shunsheng would find a way to buy more glass bottles, Mu Qing turned around and slipped out of the processing workshop. Tian Shunsheng will definitely chase her and continue to ask about last night's incident when he comes back later, she can't wait here stupidly to fall into the net.
Mu Qing, who was wandering around in the alley, arrived at the house where he met Zhou Yuanqing.
Buckle buckle ...... After three knocks, the door creaked open from the inside. An old man, with white hair and trembling hair, came and opened the door.
"Uncle, I'm here to find Zhou Yuanqing, please send him a letter, my name is Mu Qing, and I have cooperated with him before. You can ask him for me if he still has the kind of thing I bought last time, and if so, I want it in any quantity. Seeing someone open the door, Mu Qing only thought that this person was left by Zhou Yuanqing to guard the door, and he was busy telling his purpose.
The old gentleman seemed to have a hearing problem, but he didn't react at anything after listening to Mu Qing's words, he just looked up at Mu Qing and didn't speak quietly. Mu Qing's heart was furious when he was staring at him, and he couldn't say anything. In addition, the alley is too quiet, and the hustle and bustle of the market seems to be separated by an invisible wall, separating this place and the market into two worlds.
Mu Qing quietly took two steps back, and didn't move until her back was against the wall.
The old gentleman sneered when he saw Mu Qing's movements, didn't say anything, and after glancing at Mu Qing meaningfully, he turned around and slowly closed the courtyard door.
Mu Qing was dumbfounded, what does this mean? Will she be able to see Zhou Yuanqing? What does the old gentleman mean, will he tell her about it? Mu Qing was entangled in her heart, and raised her hand to knock on the door again, but stopped for a long time but didn't knock.
As if knowing that Mu Qing hadn't left yet, there was another squeak, and the door was opened from the inside again. This time, a handsome guy appeared behind the door, wearing a blue maid costume and a small hat, bowing to Mu Qing and saying, "I don't know if Miss Mu is here, it's rude." My master has already explained, if the girl comes, I must inform him as soon as possible. Therefore, I have already conveyed the girl's request to my master, and I believe that my master will write back to you soon. You wait patiently for a long time, and my master's reply should arrive tomorrow morning. ”
The little guy spoke official words, revealing a smell that did not match the people in Tianshui Town. Mu Qing knew that Zhou Yuanqing must have hidden his identity to do business with her, but he really had no interest in Mu Qing to get to the bottom of it. Didn't you say that curiosity kills cats? Mu Qing had a hunch that if she was curious about Zhou Yuanqing, the question would not only be a question of death and life.
Although these are just Mu Qing's guesses, Mu Qing trusts his instincts.
So for the sake of her own personal safety, Mu Qing decisively abandoned her curiosity.
"If Miss Mu is okay, you can go to the room to have a cup of tea before leaving. He Bo is old and his hearing is not good, so he was really sorry just now. Seeing that Mu Qing didn't speak, the little girl thought for a while and said again.
"Does Uncle He mean the old gentleman just now? I don't care, the elderly will have all kinds of problems when they are older, I can understand this. Since you've already handed over the news, I won't bother too much, and I'll come back tomorrow to hear the results. See you tomorrow. "She really guessed it, that old gentleman really has bad ears. Mu Qing secretly slandered in her heart.
Hearing Mu Qing say that he was leaving, the little guy didn't force him to stay, said goodbye to Mu Qing happily, and sent Mu Qing out of the alley intimately. It wasn't until he felt the lively fireworks in the bazaar that Mu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. Walked briskly in the direction of South Street.
There are four main streets in Tianshui Town, which are named after the streets in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, South Street is a gathering place for the government and wealthy households, and the other three streets are mostly ordinary people. The Bai family, a century-old family, is located at the mouth of an alley on South Street.
That alley is called Baijia Hutong, and all the relatives living in it are Bai's relatives. Counting next to each other, from the outside to the inside, they represent the status of each in the Bai family. If you want to talk about the outermost part, it is also the group of people who have the least close relationship with the Bai family, and they basically rely on the autumn breeze of the Bai family to live on weekdays. This kind of person, the authentic descendants of the Bai family are not willing to give them even a look.
Naturally, the people who have a slightly better relationship with the Bai family live not far from the Bai family's ancestral house, so this wave of people is on the second floor of the Bai family's alley.
In turn, it is the real old mansion of the Bai family, and now only the descendants live here, that is the Bai Fugui family.
In Bai Fugui's generation, his mother only got one son from him. His father made several brothers and sisters for him. But in Bai Fugui's opinion, these concubines and concubines are not worthy of being called brothers and sisters with him at all. When he got married, there was no movement.
On this day, Tian Xiaozhi, who was slightly unwell, was lying on the bed, directing the maids around him to turn around. There was a subordinate over there to report: "Young lady, there is a girl named Mu Qing at the door who wants to see you." ”
Tian Xiaozhi stood up from the low couch and asked, "What is the name of that girl you are?" ”
"That girl looks like she is about eleven or twelve years old, and she calls herself Mu Qing, saying that she has something important to see you." The subordinate who spoke heard Tian Xiaozhi's question, and hurriedly replied carefully.
The Bai family just bought a batch of subordinates a few days ago, because they had not yet learned the rules, they were placed on the periphery for use, and they were not served closely. The person who came to reply was the new batch that came in, and he was assigned to the gatehouse, so he naturally didn't know the relationship between Mu Qing and Tian Xiaozhi. The old oilman who had a porter specially handed over this job to him, and he was grateful to Dade from the bottom of his heart, feeling that people had given him a chance to perform in front of his master.
So when he heard Tian Xiaozhi's question, he replied carefully again. I thought I would wait for the master's reward or something, but I was sent out by the maid next to the master. He walked to the porter with hatred, not knowing that he was being tricked.
"Young lady, do you want to meet?" One of the maids who served Tian Xiaozhi the most carefully on weekdays slowed down her voice, and asked slowly while helping Tian Xiaozhi press her tight head.
Tian Xiaozhi's closed eyes moved slightly, waved his hand for a long time, and said impatiently: "No." It's okay to say that it's okay for people, and they haven't been entangled in it without face and skin, it's really shameless. ”
As soon as the maid who helped her press her head heard Tian Xiaozhi's words, she glanced at the other maid waiting at the door, made a gesture, and the maid left quickly. It soon appeared at the side door. Outside the door, Mu Qing had been waiting for a while.
"Girl, you'd better go. My wife doesn't want to see you. As soon as the door opened, the maid walked out quickly and said to Mu Qing.
"Did you tell your wife that I just wanted to meet Noble, and I didn't mean anything else. I just want to meet the child, I miss the child. This sister, you can help me pass on a word again, thank you. As he spoke, Mu Qing took out a few eldest sons from his sleeves and quietly stuffed them into the maid's hands. The maid took the money, frowned a little embarrassed, and stomped her foot for a long time, then turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
