Chapter 13 The mouth is not right
Xia Yue's turn turned extremely fast, one second he was still an affectionate son and brother who was hurt by love, and the next second, he became a black-hearted feudal ruler who squeezed the hard work of the working people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nie Xiaofan simply turned around and left, not even bothering to talk to him.
Xia Yue was anxious, and ran with Nie Xiaofan, wanting to hold her, but it was difficult to reach out. Although he treats Nie Xiaofan as a buddy, she is not a buddy after all...
"Are we... Let's talk about it again?" Xia Yue asked.
Nie Xiaofan blinked his eyes, stared at Xia Yue and said, "What are you discussing?The fleet is expanding this time, isn't it enough for Jing Yongnian to have such a big pressure?" Xia Yue's words stuck in her throat. Jing Yongnian is so hard... He does...
Nie Xiaofan saw that he still understood a little bit of human suffering, so he was not so angry. The purpose of Jing Yongnian's expansion of the fleet this time is to have ships running for long and short voyages, so that Xia Yue can receive a sum of money every few months.
Although Jing Yongnian has been a thief a lot and will recruit people, no matter how powerful he is, how tiring this job should be, and how tiring it must be. Xia Yue can't ignore the life and death of his subordinates!
Nie Xiaofan tightened his cloak and said, "You don't have to ask me for silver all day long. I don't believe that you are a prince, I am the only one who is making money for you. I just straightened out the affairs of the Zhou family. Immediately ready to reopen the restaurant, then the money will be available. If you ask again... If you ask me again, I won't open it!"
Xia Yue pursed his lips, he had only begun to cultivate his strength in recent years. In the past... His mother had some business and manpower, but he didn't want to rely on her completely...
Xia Yue can have today's situation, and it is very hard for herself. "The Zhou family... Is there any money?" asked Xia Yue. Then he added: "Borrow... It's just borrowing! Zhou Jiulang's official position... I can protect him..."
"Don't even think about it!" Nie Xiaofan refused.
Now the intentions of the Zhou family are unclear. She would never rashly drag the Zhou family into the water and then invite trouble for the Zhou family! Besides, if Zhou Jiulang has the ability to be an official. There is no need to come to Xia Yue, if he doesn't have this ability, there is no need to look for Xia Yue.
Nie Xiaofan left angrily.
Nie Xiaofan returned to Zhou's mansion. Because Zhou Jiulang was going to prepare for the spring festival, he spent all these days in the study. There wasn't much in the house.
Nie Xiaofan felt that this big Zhou Mansion was so deserted. In the past, when I was in Changping Villa, there were Zhou Qiaoqiao, and the sisters of the Nie family, but they didn't even have anyone to talk to now.
Now Zhou Qiaoqiao's whereabouts are unknown. Nie Xiaofan was also in a bad mood, so he sat by the window and watched the scenery for a day. The Liuxiang Pavilion is said to be arranged by Mrs. Zhou, the indoor furniture, the green plants in the courtyard, and the rockery in the backyard are all the painstaking efforts of the old man.
When it came to Mrs. Zhou, Nie Xiaofan thought that I was fine anyway, so why don't I accompany her more in the future?
Thinking about it like this, it was actually already dark, and Zhou Jiulang also came back at this time.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Jiulang asked in surprise. In the past, when he came back from the study, Nie Xiaofan had already rested. Could it be that he was waiting for him on purpose today? Zhou Jiulang was overjoyed, but he couldn't go so late without sleeping, right? Zhou Jiulang frowned again.
Nie Xiaofan thought he was so strange. One moment happy and one frowning.
"I'm in a daze. Nie Xiaofan said. After saying that, he turned his head to look out the window.
Daze?
Zhou Jiulang nodded thoughtfully. Then he went over and sat down with her and looked out the window.
It's dark, and there's a light outside, but there's nothing to see. It's better to go out and see the stars.
But before Zhou Jiulang could say what he thought, Nie Xiaofan was about to turn around and rest again.
When the two of them were lying on the bed, Zhou Jiulang said: "Actually, you can find Baozhu to play, and there are ten sisters." ”
You can't play with others every day. Nie Xiaofan slandered.
"Let's go to sleep. She said. Zhou Jiulang didn't say anything anymore, just held her hand. Nie Xiaofan didn't resist, obviously getting used to his little habit.
Sleep, maybe at dawn, Zhou Qiaoqiao will have news.
When Nie Xiaofan opened his eyes at dawn, Zhou Jiulang had already gone to the study.
"In two days, our uncle will be gone, and then the high school champion, the girl will be the champion's wife..."Liu Yu said while dressing up Nie Xiaofan.
Mrs. Champion?
Of course that's good, how many women are looking forward to it, and she met it all at once. How nice.
Nie Xiaofan smiled bitterly and did not speak.
When Nie Xiaofan went to ask for peace, he went a little late. So she took the initiative to stay with Mrs. Zhou.
Old Madam Zhou glanced at her, took another sip of tea, and asked, "Have you sorted out everything at home?"
Nie Xiaofan said: "There are seven or eight points that are smooth, and the rest depends on experience, and I am about to learn from my grandmother." I hope you don't dislike it..."
"Flim tongue!" Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "These children are not much with me, do you know why?"
Nie Xiaofan shook his head.
"Because I don't like noise. Mrs. Zhou said.
Nie Xiaofan was stunned, this old lady spoke so sharply?
"Then why did the old lady leave Xiao Fan?" Nie Xiaofan asked.
What kind of thing is this? Didn't she leave it on her own? Why did she leave her?
An old man and a young poor man said a few words, and a maid came to report that someone from Nie Xiaofan's mother's family had come to visit.
Nie Xiaofan's maiden family? Nie Xiaofan thought of Zhou Qiaoqiao first.
"Invite the guests to the Liuxiang Pavilion and wait for me, I will talk to my grandmother here for a while. Nie Xiaofan said to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu took the order and left, who would have thought that Old Madam Zhou said at this time: "How... Isn't your mother's family my mother's family?
This...
It stands to reason that it is appropriate for guests to come to the house and come to see Mrs. Zhou. But Nie Xiaofan is afraid... I was afraid that Zhou Qiaoqiao's temper would make the old lady unhappy.
"Quick... Please come here. Mrs. Zhou said.
Nie Xiaofan had no choice but to nod at Liu Yu. It's all like this, and if you don't come to see it, you can't say it.
Nie Xiaofan is in a complicated mood now, looking forward to the guest being Zhou Qiaoqiao, but also looking forward to not her. It's very tangled.
It didn't take long for Liu Yu to bring in a handsome and elegant woman. She was dressed in a maroon shirt, but her face was unusually cold. The hair is tied high at the back of the head. At first glance, it is different from ordinary boudoir women.
Sure enough, it's a coincidence... She hadn't seen her for a few days, and she was much haggard.
Nie Xiaofan clutched her chest, where has she been in the past few days?
Mrs. Zhou also covered her chest... This...
"This is..."Old Madam Zhou asked suspiciously.
Why didn't she know that the Nie family still had such an unconventional woman?
"Back to Grandmother. This is Qiaoqiao, who grew up with Xiaofan in Changping since childhood. My aunt recognized her as her goddaughter..."Nie Xiaofan introduced.
Old Mrs. Zhou's brows furrowed even deeper, will she salute?
As soon as she thought so, Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately saluted and said, "I've seen the old lady." My godmother named me Nie Chen. The old lady can call me Xiao Chen. ”
Xiao Chen...
"Oh... Sister Chen?" Old Madam Zhou was obviously deaf and clear-sighted, but at this time, she was talking in a daze like an old man who couldn't hear and see clearly. She said, "Why did you come here alone, and there were no elders to accompany you?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao almost laughed. She has been alone for so many years, and it is the first time that she has heard that she must be accompanied by elders when she goes out.
"Back to the old lady, Xiao Chen will work a little harder. So you can go out on your own. Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
As soon as she heard this, the grandmother beside Mrs. Zhou also felt funny. But they weren't really smiling. After all, the old lady is here.
But there's something interesting about this female doll. Can you also do kung fu?
Where did the second wife even recognize such a goddaughter? I don't even understand that a girl's family can't show her head?
It's not that Zhou Qiaoqiao really doesn't understand, it's just that she never wants to do this.
Nie Xiaofan thought that this person had seen it, so it was better to take it away now. She was just about to speak, when she heard Mrs. Zhou say: "I heard that in the court, the queen of Nanxian of the Liao Kingdom, has set off to come to Dasheng to ask for the prince... She also knows martial arts and can fight... You can also do martial arts. Would you like to play a few tricks for my wife?"
Nie Xiaofan felt bad when he heard it, this week Qiaoqiao was unhappy, and he didn't care about the occasion when he spoke. "Grandmother... Xiao Chen, she..."
"Okay, I didn't talk to you again!" Mrs. Zhou is very much like the old lady who relies on the old and sells the old in the TV series at this time.
Nie Xiaofan had no choice but to look at Zhou Qiaoqiao wildly. I hope she will refuse.
Zhou Qiaoqiao said: "Old lady, Xiao Chen practiced martial arts hard, not to show for others..."
Lost in politeness?
The grandmother beside Mrs. Zhou heard this: "Miss Chen, the old lady likes to watch, what if you just show one or two tricks?
"The old lady won't be happy to see the show of martial arts. Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
Get... The first thorn is not lifted!
Mama choked back. It was still Nie Xiaofan who said: "Grandmother forgives her sins, Xiao Chen can't speak." Xiao Fan took her back first. ”
Old Madam Zhou regained her expressionless face and said solemnly: "I think she is very good at talking." Why don't you stay and talk to me? ”
Chat with you?
You two are people who can talk to death, and it would be nice to be able to get together and talk.
But before Nie Xiaofan finished complaining, the two of them really chatted together.
"The old body admires people like Queen Nanxian, who are strong in martial arts and brave and resourceful. ”
Xiao Chen also admired it very much. Xiao Chen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was inspired by this queen of Southern Immortals who can fight and be good at martial arts!"
This style of painting has changed too quickly, hasn't it? Didn't you just get tense?
"Yes, once a woman knows a little martial arts, she will be bolder. If you don't look ahead and backward when you do things, who says that women can't achieve great things?" said Mrs. Zhou.
Xiao Chen thought the same thing. Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
"Oh... Then what do you want to do, what do you want to do??" asked Mrs. Zhou.
Zhou Qiaoqiao did not speak. The atmosphere froze.
"It's... It doesn't matter if you don't have big ambitions, it's a lifetime to control people, and to live a good life is also a big ambition..."Nie Xiaofan said with a dry smile.
Mrs. Zhou didn't answer, but Zhou Qiaoqiao answered: "Yes, so people are for a lifetime." Health is the most important thing. Your illness was fortunately cured by the divine doctor of the Thousand Golden Hall..."
Nie Xiaofan coaxed in her head, and she couldn't hear what Zhou Qiaoqiao said again. She quickly looked at Mrs. Zhou and saw that her face had really changed. Her face, which had always been calm, sank, and Nie Xiaofan felt that the air around her seemed to freeze.
"You scared me to death just now!" After returning to the Liuxiang Pavilion, Nie Xiaofan couldn't help but be afraid: "How can you mention that person in front of Old Madam Zhou?" You know, this is her taboo!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao disagreed: "She spoke politely, and I also told her to know that it feels like a sting to speak." ”
Nie Xiaofan was speechless. No matter what happened to Mrs. Zhou, her whole life had passed, and there was no other meaning in saying such things except to make her sad.
"Forget it. It's good for you to come back. Nie Xiaofan said, took her hand into the room, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao said: "It's nothing. My master is here, I'll accompany her to do some errands..."
Zhou Qiaoqiao's master?
Fowler?
Nie Xiaofan suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, that... Queen Nanxian, what is the relationship with your master? Why did they come to Dasheng?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao turned her head, obviously not wanting to answer. Nie Xiaofan also accidentally asked.
She promised not to ask her about these things.
There are people serving tea and snacks, and they are very respectful when they move around. Zhou Qiaoqiao picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, and said, "It's still the Zhou family, everyone is polite." It's not like in Changping, where everyone has a good time..."
Which side is better? Zhou Qiaoqiao's words, Nie Xiaofan couldn't understand it.
After chatting a few more words, Zhou Qiaoqiao asked again, "Where is my sword?"
Sword?
What sword?
Nie Xiaofan looked dazed. Did she bring weapons with her?
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Yes, you were not sober on the day you got married, and the sword I handed over to you for safekeeping should have been taken over by the next person, right? ”
Nie Xiaofan suddenly realized, that jeweled blue sword. She had given her safekeeping.
"Liu Yu will take you to find it. Presumably they took it together. Feel relieved. Can't lose it. Nie Xiaofan said.
Nie Xiaofan's dowry is all gathered in one place, except for some commonly used ones, other occasionally useful ones have not yet begun to be gathered.
Zhou Qiaoqiao followed Liu Yu to the treasury to find her sword. The sword was inlaid with beads and jewels. It's also very heavy, but it's just a lot of ornamental accessories. Zhou Qiaoqiao found it after a while.
Of course, she put it herself.
As soon as Nie Xiaofan saw her holding a weapon, her whole person was not good.
"Show me," she smiled.
Zhou Qiaoqiao hesitated, but still handed the Biqing Sword into her hands.
Nie Xiaofan played with it for a while and asked, "Do you want to take it back to your master?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled: "This is the master's reward for me!"
The implication is that it is her stuff. You don't have to pay it back.
"By the way, since your master is here, will you go with her? Nie Xiaofan said a lot of words in a row, and said: "Where is your master? It stands to reason that I should go to visit her old man." ”
