Chapter 393: Mrs. Crushed
A large group of children chirped around talking and eating, and there was no rule of eating and not saying anything for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Including Changfu, Cardamom, Shishi, Changzhuang, Xiaoyu, their four little half-demons, the second and third sons of Qi Guogong, Tang Youxin, a total of eleven people.
Because the little half-demons don't know how to eat in moderation, so as not to cause trouble, all the children's meals are packed in wooden boxes. The wooden box is quite delicate, divided into several compartments, meat, vegetables, rice, etc., and the amount is divided according to the size of the child.
Tang Youde is familiar with the young Zhou Xin he brought, as well as Zhong Dayou, Duan Tiancai and others, the four of them are at the same table, and about Gu Shaoqin's eight guards are not used to the "boldness" of the people in northern Xinjiang, and they also get together.
It was early summer, the south was sweltering, and the twenty-four people in northern Xinjiang, all of whom were rough and big, were bare-chested and bare-backed, drinking and eating meat in large gulps, and they were so noisy that they sat at two tables.
Wei Xiaoge and Mr. Fang, Meng Feiling, who has not recovered, as well as Qin Yuling, Jin Xing, Zhong Dayou's daughter-in-law, Fox Ji, and Tang Yuan sat around.
The dishes are all purchased by nearby restaurants, and at present, there is no way to cook so many people's food at home in one go.
The Han people in northern Xinjiang live in the garden next door, and they have always asked restaurants to deliver food.
Gu Shaoqin sent the guards, but he didn't send the cook lady, nor did he send the maid who served his two nephews. The original intention was to cultivate children's self-reliance, and these ten people have always solved it in one place, and they also went to the restaurant to package a meal.
Eleven children, Zhong Dayou's daughter-in-law is so busy that she only cooks one breakfast, and her clothes are taken out to the back corner door every day, and the woman who helps people wash their clothes is called nearby to take them and wash them.
Changfu and a few of them are older, and they all come to take a bath by themselves, and the hot water is sent by Wu Xiu to the yard where they live. But a few little half-demons, including Chang Zhuang, don't know much about this, and they are taken care of by Jin Xing and Tang Youxin on weekdays.
If he could invite a grandmother and a maid, Wei Xiaoge couldn't wait to invite a dozen or twenty people immediately, but the children in the family were too weird.
There is a child with small fish gills, two hairy ears, and a normal appearance but a tail, fortunately, Chang Zhuang is only taller and stronger than others, and it is the most normal half-demon.
Although he has always liked to be lively, the voices of the people and horses in Northern Xinjiang were amazingly loud, and a few half-demon children over there were noisy for some reason, Wei Xiaoge rubbed his head, and felt that his head was almost bursting.
Changfu was very unhappy and shouted to the quarreling children, "Don't make noise, otherwise you will have to go to the wall to punish the station!"
It's a pity that what Changfu, who is an elder brother, said that it was useless, Xiaoyu cried aggrievedly, because a big half-demon copper head snatched the meat in her box, and it was not the first time to rob it......
Wei Xiaoge stood up, stretched out his palm to hold the collar of the copper head, and flew under the tree with a "whoosh", "The copper head, stand here, and you can't move until everyone finishes eating." ”
The copper head was tall and strong, about the same height as Changfu, but twice as round, but it is said that he was only four years old.
The copper head is simply more aggrieved than Xiaoyu, with a snot and tears on his face, "I don't want to stand, I'm hungry, I want to eat......"
It must be that he is used to eating with an open belly, but now the portion is much less, he is not used to it, Wei Xiaoge doesn't understand. However, he must not follow his wishes, otherwise the rules will be broken, and the other half-demon children will definitely follow suit.
"One person in one box, the rules can't be changed, in fact, you are taller, and the rice in the food box is already a lot more than that of small fish. ”
Ignoring the copper head commotion, Wei Xiaoge made up a piece of meat from his table for Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu burst into tears and smiled, and said politely: "Thank you, sister." ”
In a mess, Wei Xiaoge returned to his desk, but suddenly found that there was one more person.
Xue ...... Brother Xue, are you back?" After hesitating for a moment, she still decided to call Xue Shaoxi her brother.
Eighteen or nineteen-year-old Xue Shaoxi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a shaved green stubble on his chin, was about to be born old, and he looked like a young man. Dressed in a blue arrow-sleeved gown, he is very straight and neat, and he still has the "Chiye" that he gave him in the past hanging on his waist.
Xue Shaoxi smiled slightly, "My younger brother and sister have come to Baoliang Kingdom, I can't stay in Dawei all the time, and now I am on an errand in the palace for the king, and I only got the news that my sister Wei has returned home today, and the king specially allowed me to stay at home for three days." ”
There will be one day off every five days, and this time because of Wei Xiaoge, it was three more days.
Knowing that Sister Wei hastily married Wan Tu in the capital, but failed to carry her on the sedan chair, Xue Shaoxi had regrets in his heart. Looking at the situation, I will always live in Baoliang in the future, and the family gathers together, as if I have forgotten the family feud that I have always been worried about.
Wei Xiaoge said with a smile: "Errands are not tiring, you have time to cultivate like this, and you have to go back and forth, a full forty miles!"
Xue Shaoxi shook his head with a smile, "I'm not tired, running back and forth is also cultivation, in fact, there is not much to do in the palace, I am on an errand for three hours a day, and most of the rest of the time is to practice fighting with people, or meditate and practice in the guards' house." ”
Wei Xiaoge chattered and talked to Xue Shaoxi.
This guy who always feels that he is an older brother, but is actually a "younger brother", has been extremely close and trusted since the beginning. From time to time, she hoped in her mind that if Changgui was replaced by Xue Shaoxi, she would have a better life.
Xiao Xue has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, but he has never lost the heart he has cultivated since childhood.
Not impulsive, not impatient, not retreating, moving forward steadily, and not too rigid, very flexible.
Although Han Han's long-term wealth will always be the most worried child in his heart, Xue Shaoxi is undoubtedly an extremely important relative.
He is the eldest of several people, and now that he has finally achieved a small cultivation, he can't wait to stand up and go out to work and become an adult man in the family.
Wei Xiaoge sighed secretly, Xue Shaoxi's cultivation is not high, and he got an errand through the "back door", so he must have to suffer some idleness in the palace. However, he was originally a person who came out of all kinds of discrimination and hardship, and it is estimated that there will be no big problems.
However, if he felt that being an errand for Gu Shaoqin was a way out, he would naturally do it.
After the feast, night had already fallen, and the Gu family guards lit lanterns everywhere, and the copper head of the punishment station continued to finish his unfinished meal. Washed and scrubbed, cleaned up, thanks to Tang Youde and Zhou Xin, they were both good people, and the garden was clean again.
Qin Yuling was placed alone in a small courtyard where no one lived, and Wei Xiaoge threw the fox over to her as a companion.
Finding Lu Qiao in the evening, Wei Xiaoge asked, "These twenty-four brothers, what are your plans for the future?"
Lu Qiao said with a smile: "The king said, if you like to come, you will follow, but it will not be possible to live for a long time, they are all wild people, and when the king comes back, there should be some decisions, I estimate that I will go to the mountains to fight over there." ”
The Yi nationality refers to the "southern frontier", and the border between the Wujin country and the Baoliang country is clear, but further south, it is a forest that few people have set foot in, and I don't know how big it is.
Due to the rain and humidity, the tall trees are extremely dense, covering the sky and the sun, and the dark land is full of poisonous miasma. In addition to the formidable snakes, insects, beasts, and extremely poisonous plants, the most troublesome thing is the filthy water source, even the most fierce hunter dare not set foot on it at will.
But no matter how sinister a place is, it will always be inhabited.
The locals, known as the Yi people, or "savages", are scattered around the slightly better hills, and there are few but brave ones. Similar to Northern Xinjiang, there are many monsters, but they have little contact with people, and most of them do not understand human language.
The most attractive thing is the variety of exotic herbs.
The Baoliang Gu clan's herbal medicine business has become large, in addition to obtaining wild medicinal materials from the mountain demon king of the border Wujin country, it also deals with some slightly civilized Yi tribes in the vicinity.
Driven by profit, these martial arts cultivators in Northern Xinjiang will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make a fortune.
The "Brethren" are a group of unruly bandits who wait for the boss to return and lead them around.
After listening to Lu Qiao's explanation, Wei Xiaoge had an illusion, in addition to becoming a nanny for a large group of children, it seemed that he had accidentally become Mrs. Zhai.
Anyway, she didn't know about it now, she smiled understandingly.
"Since everyone is idle, we have to wait for the king to come back before making a decision, I wonder if the brothers are in the mood to do a small business. ”
"How can you not do it if you have a deal!" Lu Qiao smiled and nodded.
"Today, you saw that I brought a woman surnamed Qin, who needs to be sent to the Ugin Kingdom. It's just that I have no time anywhere, because I think everyone has nothing to do, I want to ask a dozen brothers to send her. ”
"Where do you need to pay money for your wife? Lu Qiao dealt with it very considerately, but thought in his heart that he could not take his wife's money, and would rather pay his own pocket for the travel expenses of his brothers.
The word "madam" has to be preceded by "pressing the village", alas! Wei Xiaoge waved his hand, "That's not what I said, I understand the rules, and only when you take money to do things can you do it reliably." ”
"When to leave, just say it in advance, lest they be idle and have green hair and mold!" Lu Qiao agreed with a smile. Even if the king asks everyone to do things, they have to pay out of their pockets, but the lady has rules for doing things, and she doesn't rely on the king's power to assign people randomly.
"Let's go through another half a month!" Wei Xiaoge said after thinking for a moment.
She was really fed up with Qin Yuling's self-righteousness, so as not to cause any more trouble, it was better to send her away as soon as possible. However, it has just been a long journey, and it is really unreasonable to let people slow down and drive people away immediately.
Xue Shaoxi stayed at home for three days, and returned to Luojing again to continue his errand, Changfu and the three of them had the deepest relationship with him, and they hugged each of them a few times before leaving, looking reluctant.
In the past three days at home, Xue Shaoxi has not been as busy as before.
Most of the time, I squatted with Changfu Cardamom, or read a book with Shishi, and talked and amused with them at night, coaxing everyone to sleep.
As a bystander, Wei Xiaoge found it very interesting, even if the three children were still young, they could clearly tell the difference between Xue Shaoxi and Duan Tiancai.
Although Xiao Duan is good to children, he has never regarded them as family members, he is dedicated to the temporary profession of housekeeper, and plans to save enough money to marry his daughter-in-law and open a shop in the future.
Xue Shaoxi is two different things.
He is the eldest brother in the family, in addition to making money for everyone to support the family, he also has a similar long-term thought, hoping to win a future.
The purpose is not to get ahead, but to have a child to rely on in the future.
Especially Cardamom and Shishi, who were supposed to be sent away with Qianhong, but almost died at the hands of the monks, and the two younger sisters are his heart.
Wei Xiaoge, who knew this very well, privately gave a lot of medicinal materials for cultivation, so as to speed up his cultivation, so as not to let Xue Shaoxi always be looked down upon in the guard camp.
