Xiao Qing didn't expect Zhou Chuan to be very attentive to her, although there was no shortage of this thing in their family, but the meaning of him personally sending it was different, after all, who would dislike eating less meat?

She will thank him in her heart in the future, and even because of these good, she will only sell dogwood noodles and mushrooms to their family, since she understands the meaning of these things, how can Xiao Qing not accept it?

"Since it was Shopkeeper Zhou who bothered to prepare it for me, then I will accept it." Xiao Qing thought that she would not owe Zhou Chuan favors at will, she smiled slightly and said: "Zhou Ji, you go back and bring a few words to the shopkeeper Zhou, tell him that the tree is big and easy to attract wind, and when the forest is big, there will be insects and mice, and the person who handles each dish must be reliable, and not causing trouble does not mean that things are not troublesome, and it is always good to keep an eye on it." ”

Zhou Ji was shocked when he heard this, he seemed to understand why the shopkeeper Zhou had a little respect for this woman, next year is young, but the words she said are very old, and her words are not wrong at all.

"Sister-in-law, Zhou Ji must bring this, Zhou Ji will thank his sister-in-law for the shopkeeper first!"

The shopkeeper is bent on thinking about the taste, but he is very lacking in these things, he used to study the taste, and forgot to guard against people, the door has been full in the past two days, and they are happy to have no time to think about these things, fortunately, Xiao's sister-in-law reminded that it was the right time, and this time the secret recipe will never be leaked.

Xiao Qing smiled, put the things into the bamboo basket, and then carried the bamboo basket on his back and left.

Zhou Ji personally sent it to the main gate before saying goodbye to her.

After Xiao Qing left, several people in line in front of the guest restaurant were staring at Xiao Qing's back.

"Brother, isn't that the Xiao family of the uncle's family? The guest restaurant actually called this kind of mud-legged leper dog into the store, this store has been entered by this kind of person, I don't want to go in! Qiao Shuqi pointed at Xiao Qing and said indignantly.

Qiao Maosheng's eyebrows wrinkled together when he saw Xiao Qing's figure, and the people of their family were annoyed when they saw her, this kind of person should not live in this world.

"Don't care about her, where she is has nothing to do with us, as long as she doesn't recognize us, don't care if she lives or dies, it's almost time for us, we can't leave casually, we must find out about the guest restaurant today!" Qiao Maosheng said.

Qiao Shuqi glanced at Xiao Qing's back with disdain, and stomped her feet angrily, she was called by her brother early in the morning to line up with him, and she had been queuing for an hour or two, her legs were sore, and she hadn't lined them up yet.

The people in front of them are all people with identity backgrounds, and they don't dare to cut the line, and they can't afford to be guilty.

Qiao Shuqi and Qiao Maosheng continued to line up, and the two sighed, fortunately the leper dog didn't see them just now, otherwise they would have caused trouble again.

Here, Xiao Qing was thinking about what she wanted to buy, and she had to inquire about Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang, she had to go to the steamed bun shop first, and then go to the yamen, because some things had to be done with the documents of the county yamen before they could be done with peace of mind.

She walked along the line at the door of the guest restaurant, and after walking for a long time, the long line blocked the way on the street, and she couldn't pass, thinking that it would be good if she passed through the middle of the gap.

It's just that people don't give her a gap next to each other, so she has to go to the end of the line.

"Master told you to line up, what are you little bastard doing? Yes? ”

A young man in a silk coat kicked the boy in coarse cloth.

The coarse cloth boy lowered his head, five feet long, thin and tall, with a thin face and thin muscles, and bowed his head and responded: "Yes, yes!" ”

Xiao Qing glanced at it casually, but he couldn't move away after this glance, the child was not someone else, it was Qiao Hong, the third son of the old Qiao family, who was sold to Ren Yazi by her for 500 yuan, and Ren Yazi was hired by Qiao Hong, the rough envoy of the Li master bookkeeper.

She didn't expect to see him here today, and she thought that she would inquire about the situation of Master Li's house later, which ...... See?

"Qiao Hong?" Xiao Qing called softly.

Qiao Hong heard someone call him, he turned his head to look at the fat woman in front of him, when he saw the person in front of him, his eyes were first surprised, and then there was indifference and hatred in his eyes, and then he saw that she was dressed in fine linen clothes and a wooden hairpin, her face was white and ruddy, and the hatred and alienation in her eyes deepened, he didn't respond, turned around and went to the end of the line to stand.

Xiao Qing couldn't see the hatred in his eyes, and when he saw him turn around and leave, Xiao Qing hurriedly followed and grabbed Qiao Hong.

"Qiao Hong......"

Qiao Hong shook her off, hunched over and continued to walk towards the back of the line, saying a word that should not be the person behind him.

"Oh, where did you come from, fat woman? What are you doing to stop my little girl? Delay our grandfather's breakfast in the guest restaurant, can you afford it? Go, go, go! The little guy in the silk robe grabbed Xiao Qing from behind and stopped her.

Xiao Qing looked at the little guy who was holding her, listened to his words, and guessed whether he was Qiao Hong's manager.

"Oh, my lord, I just saw that child as if it were my son, and I wanted to see it again!" Xiao Qing said with a smile.

You can't offend these people, otherwise you will have trouble redeeming Qiao Hong in the future.

"Oh, it turned out to be a confession, but you hurry to the side, look at your age, that child is in his teens, it must not be your son, and the child said to himself, he only has brothers and sisters, no parents, go and go, don't delay him in line, go away!"

The little man in silk pushed Xiao Qing away with a look of disgust.

Xiao Qing was stunned, Qiao Hong said that he had no father and no mother?

It's no wonder that the original owner was so ruthless to Qiao Hong, Qiao Hong likes to read in his memory, when Qiao Yumin was alive, he studied with Qiao Xiangmin's third son Qiao Maoshu, Qiao Maoshu was admitted to Yaoshan Academy two years ago, and he was already a child, but Qiao Hong was reduced to slavery because of her.

Although there is no law in the Daqing Dynasty that prohibits slaves from participating in the imperial examination, as a slave, they are shorter than others, and they are always looked down upon.

What the original owner destroyed was not Qiao Hong's identity, but his dignity, his brilliant voice, and most importantly, the opportunity to be a scholar.

At this time, there was an angry reprimand from the little man in silk clothes in his ears: "Qiao Hong, if you can't get a place today, go back and carefully pick your skin, and the master will eat the food of Shangbin Restaurant at noon today, and you must eat it, do you hear?" ”

Qiao Hong answered from afar.

Xiao Qing saw Qiao Hong bowing humbly, and didn't even dare to raise his head when he replied, he didn't feel good in his heart, and saw Qiao Hong standing at the end, at this rate, he couldn't line up to their house until tomorrow night, and then these bullying and deceitful little guys reprimanded and beaten him again.

And Qiao Hong must have been beaten more than once, when he pulled his arm just now, he obviously saw the bruises on his arm, what is this kid suffering?

She carried the bamboo basket on her back, and when she came to the end of the line, she spared the place where the little maid could not see, and watched Qiao Hong line up seriously with his head down.

She knew that Qiao Hong hated her and didn't want to see her, but since she met her today, she had to know his situation to some extent.

"Qiao Hong!" Xiao Qing hesitated, and finally said from the bottom of his heart: "It's me who can't stand you!" ”

Qiao Hong: "......"

Xiao Qing squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, it won't be long before my mother will take you home!" ”

Qiao Hong: "......"
