On the day of the rice viewing event, the main street of the West End was more lively than usual.

Early in the morning, the alley is full of firecrackers, crackling from time to time, followed by a burst of cheers from adults and children. Auspicious white smoke spreads in wisps through the bustling inns and shops, and customers are chatting and laughing loudly. The doors of each mansion are open, and the maids are all closed for half a day, and they can enter and leave freely throughout the day, which is comparable to the grand occasion of the festival.

"They're so jubilant." The round eyes peeked through the curtain of the carriage for a while, and the flower foam retracted her neck and asked the person opposite, "How can the rice appreciation meeting be like the New Year?" ”

"Young lady, have you forgotten? The previous conferences were also so boiling. Sanshui said with a smile, "It coincides with the autumn harvest, and I also pray to God to bless the coming year with good weather and abundant grains." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, I remember." Almost exposed! She hurriedly patted her head exaggeratedly, and the role was enough, "I've been too busy lately, and I forgot about it for a while haha." ”

He Qingxian's eyes moved away from her, and he raised his eyebrows: "You young lady, before you get married, you don't go out of the door, and you don't step out of the second door." ”

Is it? Sanshui began to doubt his memory. How do you vaguely remember that the people in the house mentioned it when they chewed the root of their tongues, saying that the young lady was drunk on the eve of leaving the pavilion and was carried on the sedan chair? I have the impression that this incident was broken out by the anecdote station at the time, is it wrong?

The corners of Hua Mo's mouth twitched a few times, and she decided not to care about the bones in He Qingxian's words, and solemnly told again: "Sanshui, you have to keep the bottle of iodine wine later, remember." ”

Sanshui, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook off the conjecture about the master's scandal in his mind, and nodded respectfully: "Okay, don't worry, young lady." ”

Phew—

The carriage stopped, the curtain opened, and Hua Mo jumped off the ground with a wordless fist, and was immediately shocked by the arrangement in front of her. Golden ears of grain were piled on both sides of the road, and a long red carpet was spread in the middle, and bouquets divided the different areas, and the attendees came and went.

Well, there's a bit of rustic in the grand spectacle, that's kind of ...... The country version of the red carpet? Hua Mo couldn't help but sigh with a famous saying: "There are so many people." ”

"In addition to the rice merchants who participated in the meeting, merchants from other towns also came." He Qingxian followed her and faintly threw out an explanation.

Oh! That's still more like the Canton Fair model! She was just about to quietly ask when she would see the emperor himself, but he suddenly stepped forward to stand side by side with her, and bowed to the left front.

"Governor Lu." He Qingxian's voice was very serious, completely different from Fang Cai.

I saw three or four young men dressed as junior officials, surrounded by a slightly older man in the middle, walking slowly. Since it's a C position, it must be a big guy. Hua Mo followed her husband with interest, bowed her head and smiled, and greeted: "The concubine has seen the prefect." ”

"The son of the He family, it can be regarded as coming." Governor Lu approached with a smile, his eyes locked on this face, "This girl...... Presumably the wife of Prince He? ”

"Hello Prefect." Foam replied obediently.

"Okay, good, no need to be polite." Lu Zhifu stroked his beard and praised, "Gongzi He is so blessed, he has been married by the emperor first, and he is still a gentle and polite lady." ”

"Where, my lord praised it falsely." He Qingxian glanced at her with a faint smile, maintaining the image of a good husband who dotes on his wife, "The insider is straightforward, if there is any offense, please bear with me." ”

Tsk, is there such a shortcoming? Can you not spoil the virtuous and virtuous character she set up outside?

He Gongzi laughed again. Governor Lu said happily, raising his chin in the direction of the red carpet, "It's still the position of previous years, let's go and prepare." The old minister went to wait for the saint. ”

"There's Lord Laulu."

He bowed, and she saluted again, and her eyes sent Governor Lu away, and she rubbed his arm with her elbow.

"This adult, why is he so polite to us?" As the old proverb goes, Shinong is a businessman. Hua Mo remembered that the people who do business in costume dramas are often despised, so ...... "Did you use silver to buy corrupt officials?" Well? What kind of eyes do you have...... Feed! ”

This look seems to say - you are a pig.

He Qingxian withdrew his meaningful gaze, tapped her temple with his index finger, and then walked forward, not intending to wait for her at all.

"Speechless." Hua Mo glanced at the black person next to him, since the main master is gone, let's get angry at his bodyguard, "What do you young master mean, do you say I'm stupid?" ”

Originally, he wanted to follow the master's speechlessness, turned around obediently, and said concisely: "The young master's meaning, maybe let the young lady use your brain." With that, he followed.

what？ This master and servant are simply too deceitful, too much!

She couldn't bear it anymore, pinched the small handkerchief, and vented to the only remaining little family member beside her: "Sanshui, you say!" What the hell do they mean? ”

Obviously the autumn is cool, but Sanshui wiped a handful of sweat, this knife is going to fly towards him! It's better to pretend to be stupid and keep safe, and quickly change the topic!

"Young, young lady...... Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster and there is not enough food, the imperial court will order the rice shop to open a warehouse for disaster relief. And ......" Sanshui suddenly stopped squeaking, peeked around, and deliberately lowered the volume, "And the ancestors of the Hehua family saved the little emperor back then." In this way, the officials will have a little more respect. ”

Hmmm…… The foam groans.

Makes sense.

No wonder He Qingxian thought she was stupid just now, it was indeed the cause and effect that could be associated with a little use of her brain, and she had to rely on someone to wake up...... However, this can't be completely blamed for her not being able to think of the reason, who makes him always like to buy people's hearts with money? It is easy to mistakenly believe that bribery is his usual routine.

Sanshui saw that his young lady's face softened a lot, and he was about to say something more to speed up the marriage relationship of the masters, don't let them be caught in the middle and be difficult to be, but his shoulder inexplicably slapped her.

As if one palm was not enough, Hua Mo continued to slap it vigorously twice, looking at Sanshui with affirmative eyes.

"No wonder your young master asked you to help in the rice shop, young man, you have a future! Come on, do a good job! After showing her love as a master and encouragement, it's time to do the right thing, she waved her hand handsomely and motioned for Sanshui to hurry to the front, "Let's go, lead the way." ”

Instead of being beaten, but boasted? It seems that Xiaolan is right, after getting along these days, he also agrees that this young lady is the best! Sanshui grinned silly and happily led the foam in the direction of the stall.

Its usefulness does not lead the way.

As soon as you enter the venue, the big-character signboard will shine with golden light, and it can successfully attract the attention of every visitor after a distance of more than ten meters.

Damn, the titanium alloy dog's eyes are going to be blinded! Hua Mo subconsciously raised her hand to block the light, and wondered: "Why do you use such a flashing signboard?" "Aren't all time-honored brands unpretentious and win by strength? At first glance, is it a bit eye-catching?

"Young lady, we used wooden plaques in previous years." Sanshui turned his head and laughed embarrassedly twice, "Uncle Cai found someone to calculate a hexagram, saying that the passing year is not good, so this year I brushed the middle words with gold paint, saying that it can attract wealth." ”

Uncle Cai...... It's the uncle Cai who is in charge of the account books and has always been very prejudiced against her......

"Hehe, okay then." Hua Mo pouted, I don't plan to give advice, more things are better than less, and I will be found to be faulty.

It turns out that it's not Huamo who can hide if she thinks about one less thing, the stubble that should belong to her will naturally take the initiative to find the door. No, there were still a few meters from the stall, and the caustic voice drifted into her ears impartially.

"Young master, listen to my old fortune's advice, this konjac rice can't be on the table." The short fat finger clicked on one of the paper bags on the table, and then crossed the back waist with his backhand, his tone was full of disdain, "Even those superficial folk women can be bewitched by the young lady, the ladies in the palace are expensive, we can't take this risk." ”

Yo, is this a point at her? Hua Mo deliberately lightened her steps and quietly hid behind Sanshui.

"Uncle Cai!" Sanshui stepped forward, blinked, and hinted frantically, "Say a few words." ”

However, the person on the other side couldn't get it at all, and continued to complain: "Little rabbit, what do you know, you ......"

"Uncle Cai!" She poked her head out from behind Sanshui, first frightened the person opposite, and then greeted the others casually, "Ah, Uncle Li, Uncle Fan, everyone is here!" ”

"Young lady, you're here." Uncle Li smiled at her, pretended to cough inadvertently, and glanced at Uncle Cai. Really, settle down bro.

The look in his eyes, he understood, but he only replied with a proud "hum~".

This reminder is still very subtle, unlike Uncle Fan, who does not hide it at all, and has a clear attitude: "Young Master, I support the young lady!" ”

"Hmm......" He Qingxian nodded, indicating that he was listening to everyone's opinions, but he was noncommittal. After all, an old opposition man is in the mood.

"Old fool, if the people in the palace eat a bad meal, do you want to die?" Uncle Cai's face was red and his neck was thick, so he almost pointed at Uncle Fan's nose and scolded, "You are tired of living, I still want to live for a few more years!" ”

"You're old and old-fashioned!" Uncle Fan slapped the table, not to be outdone, "It's all said in the store, take advantage of the conference to promote konjac rice." Now you are temporarily repentant, backsliding, cowardly! ”

"I—I'm proceeding with caution! Not like you! Well-developed limbs and simple minds! ”

"It's better to be simple-minded than you are a black-hearted liver! Thanks to the young lady who developed this new product, you will lose some pounds of fat intestines and belly, otherwise just like the doctor said, the heart and spleen are overloaded and easy to die, which of us will go first is not necessarily! ”

"Okay, what do you mean, curse me to death?"

"You cursed me first, Blackheart!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Afraid that they were arguing and about to make a move, Hua Mo hurriedly inserted himself between them as a peacemaker, "Two uncles, calm down, calm down!" So many pairs of eyes watching! Hurry up! ”

She looked at He Qingxian in distress. Please, isn't this an old buddy of the He family? Don't say a word when you're a boss?

However, the boss himself spread his hands, looking like he had nothing to do with himself and hung high, very leisurely. His meaning is very simple -

Who is the source of their quarrel and who will solve it.
