Chapter 33 Fucheng

The shopkeeper's surname is indeed Xiao, which is the surname given by the lord's family. :3wし

He looked at the ledger in front of him at the moment, and his mind kept thinking about the little girl's words. If her guess is correct, she is the future housemother of the Xiao family, but what did she mean by what she said just now? Does it imply that the two tigers are divided into male and female, and the seal letter is also divided into male and female? Or is it beating herself, afraid that she will not obey the control?

I'm afraid it's both! That is, to identify oneself, and to knock down someone.

It's just a look at the face, two sentences, and people dare not underestimate it. Originally, I was worried that the little master's decision would be reckless, but now it seems that this girl is really capable at a young age.

He stood up, wandered around the room a few times, and instructed Xiao Er at the door, "Go to the kitchen and let me stew a few bird's nest porridge." Call me as soon as it's ready. ”――

After dinner, after Zheng Qingluan washed up, he went to Zheng Laosan's house, and San Lang Wulang and Wang Xinghua were all there. It's obvious that they've all been freshened.

"Dad, reach over and I'll check the pulse. Zheng Qingluan sat next to Zheng Laosan and prepared to diagnose the pulse. For people who have been ill for a long time, the long journey is very laborious, and she does not dare to be sloppy at all.

"It's okay! You're too careful. Zheng Laosan complained on his lips, but ironed in his heart. He reached for it, a smile on his face and a doting look in his eyes.

Zheng Qingluan took the pulse carefully, except for being tired, it was normal, "Not bad." She explained with a smile, "When I went home after the exam this time, I taught my father a set of boxing techniques, which are used for health preservation, and insist on exercising to prolong life." With that, he took a chair and sat opposite Zheng Laosan, then bent down and raised his feet up and put them on his knees.

Zheng Laosan was bluffed, but he didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear of kicking the little girl. Saburo and the others also hurriedly stood up, not understanding what she was going to do.

Zheng Qingluan grinned and took off Zheng Laosan's shoes. Zheng Laosan had just finished freshening up, and his shoes hadn't been mentioned, so it was easy to retreat, "I'll pinch your feet, it's a little painful, but it's very relieving, and it can still activate your muscles, can you nest in the carriage for a day, can you not feel uncomfortable? Brother, they are young, and they will be fine if they sleep." You've just recovered from a long illness, and your whole body will hurt by tomorrow morning. ”

After saying that, you will pinch it. The little girl's fingers are thin calluses, but they don't lose their femininity in the slightest. The slender and white fingers like jade onions are attached to the big feet, which makes people inevitably moved. Zheng Laosan's eyes were moist, and his voice trembled a little, "This can't be done! Dad is not tired-"

"Lie down. Without waiting for Zheng Laosan to finish speaking, Zheng Qingluan handed Gorou a look. Gorou took the quilt and pillow and put it on Zheng Laosan.

"Lie down! Your own daughter is still reluctant to use it. San Lang poured a cup of tea and sent it to Zheng Laosan, quipping.

Wang Xinghua is a little envious, and it is also a good thing to have a father who can be filial.

But after half an hour, Zheng Laosan began to snore, which was really sleeping. After several people settled him, they each went back to the house to prepare to rest.

And Shopkeeper Xiao came to visit at this time, "It's the first time for a distinguished guest to come and try the bird's nest cup in our store." It's not a boast, it's a must. ”

Wang Xinghua received him and hurriedly politely, "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!" He had heard of this bird's nest cup, and he heard that it was the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, and many people came to admire it. Although the inn is located outside the city, it still attracts many people to come, just for this bird's nest. He is familiar with the other party, but he doesn't think he is up to the level of a distinguished guest. And now that the other party is so enthusiastic, it makes him vigilant in his heart, and he says, 'Nothing to do, but it is either a traitor or a thief.' His heart was lifted.

Zheng Qingluan came out and saw the two of them in the hall, you pushed me, and it was very polite. She greeted her, "Brother-in-law, it's hard to be gracious! It's a lot of thought. She turned to look at Shopkeeper Xiao, "What's more, the future is long!"

It's a long time to come!

Shopkeeper Xiao's heart moved, and he hurriedly said yes, "You are right, the coming day will be long!" and then saluted respectfully and withdrew.

Wang Xinghua saw Zheng Qingluan calmly accept the salute, and Shopkeeper Xiao's attitude towards her was also very strange. He was suspicious in his heart, because the courtesy of the shopkeeper Xiao was obviously the courtesy of the house slave to the master. Then the identity of the shopkeeper Xiao is about to come out, he is the Xiao family.

No wonder! No wonder I always feel that the conversation between Zheng Qingluan and Shopkeeper Xiao is very awkward, so it is!

He didn't ask anything, took three bird's nests back to the house, and ate them with Saburo Goro, "Little sister eat the other two." Father-in-law doesn't have this blessing tonight. ”

Zheng Qingluan responded with a smile. He was very satisfied with Wang Xinghua's reaction.

Early the next morning, I had a hasty breakfast and set off. Zheng Qingluan and Shopkeeper Xiao didn't have much contact, and they didn't see anything unusual at all.

Fucheng is very prosperous, with many shops on both sides of the street, and it is very lively. The residence was arranged by Wang Xinghua a long time ago, the backyard of a restaurant, a main house and two wings. It is separated from the front, and it is a good place to take a quiet place. This restaurant is also the property of the Wang family.

Zheng Laosan took San Lang Wulang to study, and Wang Xinghua went to meet some friends who were on an errand in the yamen to take care of it. If we can arrange the allocation of the number and body search, we can also suffer a lot less. And Zheng Qingluan didn't run around, and honestly prepared the exam basket for his father and brother.

Waiting for Wang Xinghua to come back, he had dinner. Zheng Laosan and San Lang Wulang both slept, and Wang Xinghua quietly told Zheng Qingluan, "I saw Uncle Wu and Da Lang." ”

Zheng Qingluan remembered that Zheng Laowu and Da Lang had already passed the county exam, and it was not surprising that they came to participate in the government exam. Boss Zheng is estimated to be here to accompany the exam. Not wanting to provoke them at all, she asked, "Did they see you?"

"No!" Wang Xinghua's expression was a little strange, "I saw them enter the 'Yingchun Pavilion' from a distance. ”

"Yingchun Pavilion?" Zheng Qingluan understood in seconds, and she snorted coldly. "Leave them alone. Let's stay out of the way, and don't let my dad know. ”

Wang Xinghua nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked, "Do you need anyone to look at them?"

Zheng Qingluan hesitated for a moment, "Just stare at it a little, as long as you don't cause trouble, you can toss them around." "Brother-in-law, tomorrow you take time to busy with your business, and the day after tomorrow you accompany me out of the door." ”

Wang Xinghua knew that he would have to do his business the day after tomorrow, so he nodded in response, "You also go to bed early." ”

The next day, Wang Xinghua drove the Zheng family father and son to the examination room, and would wait outside.

Zheng Qingluan took the opportunity to wander the streets and alleys of Fucheng. She is dressed in a men's brocade robe, and she is dashing. attracted passers-by to turn back frequently. It wasn't until noon that I saw a teahouse at the intersection of the busiest street in Fucheng. On the upper and lower floors, guests come in and out, which is very lively. The door plaque of the teahouse is also only engraved with the word 'teahouse', if you look closely, you can still see the word 'Xiao' in the lower right corner.

In the lobby, the easternmost side is a platform, which should be prepared for storytelling. On the pillars on both sides of the platform, a tiger is carved on each side, and Zheng Qingluan smiles knowingly.

She shouted as she walked up the stairs. "Little second brother, upstairs private room. ”

There was a series of promises downstairs, and there was already a seventeen or eighteen-year-old junior standing at the top of the stairs, "Childe, please come here." He smiled enthusiastically and led the way, "This is the number A." ”

The room is only twenty square meters, and the furnishings are full of antiquity, Zheng Qingluan nodded with satisfaction, and sat on the low couch casually, "A pot of West Lake Longjing, a few snacks at will." Then tell your shopkeeper that someone has taken a fancy to the tiger in the lobby and asked him if he would like to resell it. ”

The little second brother's pleasing face was stunned, and then he went out with a strange face, "Isn't it sick to buy a tigress and go back? He thought so in his heart, the shopkeeper's love to carve male and female tigers is strange enough, but he didn't expect that there are people who love tigresses, this is really, the world is so big, there are no wonders!

When Lian Xin heard Xiao Er's report, he almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand.

"Isn't it weird?" The little second brother saw the shopkeeper's face frightened, and complained vigorously, "It's just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, I haven't seen it before, and I don't know whose second ancestor it is, this loser-"

"Okay!" Lian Xin interrupted Xiao Er's talking, "You go and get busy first, and I will personally entertain this guest." ”

After speaking, he quickly made a pot of tea, two plates of signature snacks, and hurriedly went upstairs.

Pushing the door in, the guest was leaning on the couch, but she could also see that she was very tall, her long eyebrows were in the sideburns, from his point of view, he could only see that the eyelashes were thick and black, slightly curled, and he saw that she was holding the "Book of Tea" specially prepared for the guests in the private room. The eyelids have never been lifted, and it seems that they are very engaged.

Lian Xin gently put down the refreshment, and poured the tea himself, "Please use it!" he bowed to show respect.

"It's coming!" Zheng Qingluan put down the book and sat up straight, "sit down and say." She gestured with her eyes, you're welcome, just sit opposite.

Lian Xin, twenty-three years old, was Xiao Yunfeng's personal servant in his childhood, and a servant of the Xiao family. Nearly 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned, sturdy, handsome, you must think who's son when you go out.

Can such a person be willing to be trended by others? Zheng Qingluan doesn't know! Whether these old servants of the Xiao family are really credible, Zheng Qingluan was a little puzzled.

How much of a seal can it really do?

Ten years have passed!

Zheng Qingluan suddenly didn't want to leave things to them to do so rashly. Maybe only you are the most reliable.

The matter of the Xiao family, she has to think again. After all, the hardest thing to see through is the human heart
