Chapter 30: The Half-Blood Girl and the Gossip Scholar

I said...... Few...... Master...... You're in such a hurry...... In order to...... What? Xiao Gui panted and collapsed on the ground like a dead fish, puzzled.

The young master, who was too lazy to speed up when he walked before, how could he spread his legs and run for a long time?

Zhou Daoan himself was tired enough. This body doesn't seem to have been exercised much before, so it's no wonder it's IN-class! After running for less than a kilometer, I was already a little dizzy...... Let's take it step by step!

"I'm going to run like this every day from now on!" Zhou Daoan dropped a sentence that made Xiao Gui desperate, took a breath, straightened his waist, and walked towards a small building on the side of the road with a big signboard with the word "food" and a plaque of "Qinghui Food Building".

It is said to be a small building, but in fact, it is equivalent to a modern two-story building of medium area - near the two buildings of the Zhou family, there is no taller and larger building than it.

This restaurant has a unique layout - the first floor is mainly "food", from breakfast to dinner, it is a restaurant composed of small stalls one by one. You can eat a small basket of steamed buns at this house and go to that house to drink a bowl of crockpot soup...... This is a small stall. There is also a private room in the inner room, in which you can order any food that is available in this restaurant; You can also order only the raw materials and let the restaurant chef process them into your favorite style......

In short, such a casual restaurant on the side of the road is enough to make Zhou Daoan feel creative and fresh.

The second floor is mainly for recreation, operating a series of activities such as drinking, drinking tea, and playing cards. Zhou Daoan only asked, but did not go up to experience. After all, he only came here to fill his stomach and settle breakfast. But looking at the appearance of Xiao Gui, he is eager to try the upper second layer.

In line with the principle of "early to be good", Zhou Daoan ordered a drawer of xiaolongbao, asked for a soy milk, and a tea egg, and sat in the lobby and snorted and ate it. And Xiao Gui took out the money from the jacket, knew the money, and asked for a sugar water to sit next to Zhou Daoan and eat together.

"The guest officer ...... Do you want some fruit? ”

As he was eating, an inquiry came from his side, and his voice was a little hoarse, but it was the girl's voice. As soon as Zhou Daoan looked up, he saw a young girl standing timidly beside him. Zhou Daoan, who was only eating with his head bowed by the girl just now, was an ordinary guest, and when the other party looked up, he found that it was a young man, and his voice suddenly weakened by three points.

Zhou Daoan didn't care about the tone of the girl's title, but her appearance made Zhou Daoan slightly stunned - this girl had dark blonde hair, a few freckles on her fair face, and her chin was pointed because she was thin. A pair of large dark green eyes were embedded under the same golden eyebrows, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken......

This is...... Half-breeds!

In modern society, it is not uncommon for crooked nuts to be mixed races. But in this world, it was unexpectedly possible to see a hybrid with such obvious exotic characteristics, which made Zhou Daoan stunned for a moment. He thought that in such an era, the "exchange" between countries should be very closed. But in fact, the appearance of the girl in front of her is no less than that of some mixed-race stars of her time, and she also has a natural and unmodified innocence.

However, after all, having seen the world, Zhou Daoan was just stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses. On the contrary, Xiao Gui stared at the girl intently, and forgot to swallow the sugar water in his mouth.

"Let me see ......" Zhou Daoan remembered that the water chestnut asked him to buy some fruits, and it happened that the girl came up to inquire, obviously a "scattered self-employed". Seeing that the girl was wearing a patched short gown and top, the pants were shrunk above the ankles, and a pair of feet without socks were stepping on the ground in straw sandals, the family was obviously not in a good situation. Zhou Daoan immediately decided that as long as her products were passable, she would buy some for herself.

Hearing Zhou Dao's anyi, the girl hurriedly unloaded a bamboo basket from her back, lifted the covered coarse cloth, and took out packets of preserved fruits wrapped in lotus leaves from it. There are not many varieties, only pickled hawthorn, salt-soaked green fruits, dried plums and sour plums. It can be seen that it is all made by itself, and it does not have the attractive aroma bought in the shop, only the color is brighter. Xiao Gui only glanced at the fruits and lost interest, and turned to stare at the girl secretly.

Zhou Daoan looked at these preserved fruits and felt that the amount of each package was quite a lot, and he could see that the seller was quite realistic. After tasting a sour plum, I also felt refreshed.

"Give me a little bit of it, put it together, and pack it like this! Xiao Gui, count the money for the girl! Zhou Daoan smiled and compared the size of a pack, and then patted Xiao Gui, who was peeking at the girl's distraction.

Xiao Gui hurriedly shrank his neck, reached out and took out three copper plates in the blanket and gave them to the girl.

The mixed-race girl thanked again and again. Originally, she sold some fruit in this hotel, but business was not very good, and customers were far more interested in her than in the preserved fruit itself. But the rich young master in front of him only glanced at her slightly, then turned his head and bought a big bag, so that she had a good start this morning, how could she not be happy?

Zhou Daoan smiled, took the bag of fruit and handed it to Xiao Gui, then turned his head and continued to eat breakfast.

When the girl finished her business, she went elsewhere. Xiao Gui watched the girl walk away, suddenly her eyes rolled, and she said "convenient" and ran out.

After a while, Xiao Gui went and returned, with a mysterious smile on his face, returned to Zhou Daoan's side, stirred the remaining sugar water in the bowl with a porcelain spoon, and said in a low voice: "Young Master An, I have inquired clearly." The girl's name was Huang Li'er, and she would come to this restaurant every morning to sell fruits, and she had to go to the dyeing workshop in the afternoon to help...... There is an alcoholic father in the family, and all the money she earns is used to drink...... The innkeeper saw that she was pitiful, so he allowed her to sell fruit here in the morning. ”

Zhou Daoan frowned, and said strangely: "You just went to inquire?" ”

"That's right! Young master, didn't you say that I want to look at a bigger field......" Xiao Gui shamelessly threw the pot to Zhou Daoan.

Speechless. Zhou Daoan felt that he had misestimated Xiao Gui's "understanding". However, he was interested in the girl's half-blood blood. So he asked Xiao Gui in a low voice, "She's not our Hermes-Epitek, is she?" ”

Xiao Gui immediately nodded, and shook his head again, "Her father is Hanmin, and he used to be a military man...... Fifteen years ago, wasn't the levee breach in the Rakshasa Domain? ……”

Xiao Gui said this, and suddenly patted his head, knowing that Zhou Daoan must have "forgotten" about these things. So he explained two more sentences, "The Rakshasa Domain is the bitter cold land in the north of our Han Domain, and the people there are called Beimaozi...... Fifteen years ago, the Bailingkou embankment in the Rakshasa Domain broke inexplicably, and the Sea Clan invaded, and our Han Domain sent reinforcements to the north...... Huang Li'er's father was one of the soldiers who went north, fought there for a year, and came back with a hairy woman. There are not a few military men like him...... So this pineapple has the face of a sub-northern hair! ”

There is a lot of information in Xiao Gui's words! Rakshasa Domain...... To understand, it should be the Mozambican country in the previous life, right? One of the five great realms of the world today? And what happened to the breach of the levee? And the Sea Clan invasion? Is it shrimp crab or caviar?

Zhou Daoan was dazed when he heard this, and was about to ask one by one, when suddenly the light in front of him dimmed, and when he looked up, he saw a big man like a black tower standing in front of him, with a beard on his face and fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

The big man just glanced at him, then suddenly turned and ran out of the shop, shouting into the streetβ€”

"Young Master, Young Master An is here!"

Zhou Daoan looked at Xiao Gui with questioning eyes, but saw that Xiao Gui's face had become bitter, and he didn't drink half a bowl of sugar water, so he hurriedly stood up and stood behind him, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes. As if he remembered something, he lowered his head and said in Zhou Daoan's ear: "This is the little servant Tie Niu of Young Master Qi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty...... When he arrived, Young Master Qi arrived. You have to be careful when dealing with Young Master Qi......"

The young master of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? That's your own sect? Is it necessary to be scared like this?

Zhou Daoan didn't have time to ask more, and there was already a string of exaggerated laughter outside the door of the restaurant-

"Hahahaha, the fourth child is really here...... Hey, isn't this shop the place where you bought fritters last time? I remember you said that the name of this shop is the same as yours......"

As the sound got closer, a group of people appeared at the door of the restaurant. The first person was the big black man just now, the Iron Bull. There were three or four healthy servants in the back, escorting a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy dressed as a boy and brother into the restaurant.

The young man was dressed in a very coquettish white dress, with dark flowers and silver edges, which cost a lot of money at first glance. The appearance of the figure is reasonable, but some pimples broke out on the cheeks, which ruined the temperament, and the thin and big mouth also made the young man's face a little more angry.

He walked into the restaurant, swept his eyes, and immediately found Zhou Daoan, who was still sitting and eating breakfast, laughed and walked over quickly, and sat opposite Zhou Daoan.

"Fourth, Lao Bai went to the house early this morning and said that you 'came back from the dead'! I didn't believe it, so I'll come and see you right away. I didn't expect to go to your place to pounce, and the third uncle said that you went to the street. I didn't want to wander around, but I felt like you were in this little shop! Send the Iron Ox to see, and sure enough! Hahahaha......"

This enthusiasm seems a bit vain...... Can you pinch it? Or am I familiar with you?

Before Zhou Daoan could reply, the tower-like man had a puzzled look on his face, scratched his head, and muttered, "Didn't you let Tie Niu take a look because Qing Ming saw Xiao Gui's figure entering and leaving the store?" ”

"Ha, what nonsense? Xiao Gui is here, it doesn't mean that the fourth child is here......" That boy-like boy is a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you say that Young Master An can only come to this kind of roadside shop to eat casually? You can't go to the expensive place, Young Master An can't ......" The big black man didn't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be confused, so he continued to "break the news".

"Shut up, you bastard! Dare to talk nonsense?! From now on, you will go to the Western Zhou, I can't accommodate a stupid person like you in the Eastern Zhou! The young man's face immediately changed, and he slammed the table with a "snap", causing the dishes on the table to jump wildly.

Say turn your face, turn your face, this boyish temperament is so big! Maybe seventeen or eighteen years old is the age of impulsiveness and willfulness, and with the identity of such a son of a family, it is not surprising that he has a bad temper. It's just so impatient and impatient, and it's a little too extreme.
