Chapter 36: The Demon Concubine is the main palace?! (g)
"Qin Huai, have you made these tofu?"
In the market of Shengjing, a loud voice resounded on the street where people came and went. Even so many people can hear it very clearly.
Cao Qinhuai wiped his clothes, hurriedly put down the stall in his hand, and promised to the house: "Auntie, I'll come." ”
After saying that, she was in a hurry and went to the house, but she didn't expect to be hit on the head by a water scoop before she entered the door. Although it was useless to smash it, it also had a bright red mark.
"Slightly." A boy with a wide body and a fat body who obviously looked no more than seven or eight years old ran out and made a grimace at Cao Qinhuai.
"Slut, you hurry in, my mother calls you. If you can't finish your tofu today, don't even think about eating. The little fat man was arrogant, and pushed her as he spoke, and pushed her until she staggered a few steps.
But what the little fat man said was very ugly, and people didn't dare to imagine that this was a child's words.
Cao Qinhuai didn't dare to lose his temper, so he could only go in with his eyebrows lowered. The neighbors were no stranger to this, and there were many more serious things than this. Someone said something earlier, but after being splashed by that shrew, no one dared to say anything. Over time, everyone became numb.
"I tell you, this slut will be my daughter-in-law in the future. No, my mother said, this slut can only be a room. When the little fat man saw her enter, he smacked behind her back, and then turned his head and began to show off to the children who had come to play with him.
Cao Qinhuai is said to be a well-known beauty in this neighborhood. has a soft and weak face, which makes people look very pity. It was she who frowned because of her heart, she was a sad beauty, and she added to her beauty.
It's just that everyone knows that Cao Qinhuai's life is hard. Abandoned since childhood, he was finally adopted by the Cao family and his wife. The couple were also kind, and although they were a little poorer, they still took her in. But who would have thought that these two people once went up the mountain to chop wood to subsidize the family, but they called the wolf to bite it, and when they were found, they were left with white bones.
Later, it was taken away by a cousin of the Cao family and his wife, that is, the male owner of the family who is now treated by Cao Qinhuai. However, whether the man sees Cao Qinhuai as a pitiful female doll is another matter. Because Cao Qinhuai when he was a child, he already looked like a beauty. But the man had a in his family, and no matter what he thought, he didn't dare to do it.
However, the woman is not good to her, maybe she is worried about the only remaining property left by the Cao family and his wife, and wants Cao Qinhuai to be a child daughter-in-law for her son, so she keeps Cao Qinhuai. It's just that the rough maid comes to make it.
"Let's make ten drawers out today."
"Auntie, I will definitely not be able to sell out of tofu today." Cao Qinhuai listened to the task that the woman sitting at the table gave him a frightening task in the inner hall, and bit his lip lightly and said.
Let's not talk about how long it takes for these tofu tofu to be made from beans into tofu and how tedious the process is. I made this tofu, but judging from the amount of money I can sell in a day, it's too much. Even if someone came because of her face, they couldn't stand so much.
Cao Qinhuai secretly complained in his heart, and he felt a little sorry for these tofu.
The woman who adopted her couldn't help but sneer: "If you want to do it, you will do it, and I can sell it if I say it." ”
"But Auntie, we don't have enough ingredients to make tofu, and we still have leftovers from last night. These were left out overnight, and they were all going rancid. ”
The woman glanced at her fiercely: "If the materials are not enough, wouldn't it be better for you to mix in the leftover tofu from your homework?" It's not long, and it's still edible. ”
"Huh?" Cao Qinhuai was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously said: "But this will hurt your stomach." ”
"Hey, why are you talking so much nonsense?" The woman suddenly didn't get bored, she pushed Cao Qinhuai away and scolded.
"You love to do things, you don't like to do them. The old lady does not raise idlers at home. ”
Cao Qinhuai gritted her teeth, she lowered her face, silently walked to the back yard, scooped a spoonful of soybeans made into tofu and put it on the grinding plate.
She stretched out her slender arm and pushed hard at the stone that was as thick as her two arms, grinding.
Sometimes, she would look to the heavens, hoping that someone would be able to save her from this life. But it was useless, so every time, when she was the most sad, aggrieved and wanted to cry, she could only look at the sky and hold back her tears into her eyes. Gradually, she stopped crying.
Cao Qinhuai finally grinded out the tofu she was going to make today before the stall opened in the afternoon, but she was exhausted now.
To her surprise, very little of the tofu was sold. Cao Qinhuai can now imagine what treatment she will suffer tonight.
She sighed softly and touched her stomach in a wave of melancholy.
"Phew."
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, right in her ears. Cao Qinhuai looked up and froze. She looked at the white-clothed young man on the horse stupidly, that was someone who only appeared in her dreams, and was very different from her.
How could there be such a good-looking person in the world, Cao Qinhuai thought to himself, Fu Jing just glanced at her, which made her heart move.
"Perhaps, I'm still dreaming." Cao Qinhuai muttered involuntarily.
Fu Jing, who was on the horse, looked at Cao Qinhuai who was dressed in coarse cloth, although she was now dressed in plain clothes, she did not hide her elegance. Fu Jing turned his head to the people who followed him:
"That's her."
There was obviously no trace of emotion, but it was very pleasant in Cao Qinhuai's heart. She saw the handsome young man dismount and walk up to her, looking at her with a smile like the first sun.
"Come with me." He said.
Cao Qinhuai blinked, it was the first time she had met such a big dignitary, and she was a little nervous and incoherent.
"Where to go... And also... Auntie. She said as she looked back at the room behind her. Some of the people in the bazaar gradually gathered towards them, after all, this prince was extraordinary at first glance, and they didn't have much chance to meet these people.
Fu Jing followed Cao Qinhuai's gaze, and after thinking about it, he said to Meng Xie beside him: "You take thirty taels of silver, and wait for her family." ”
The woman in the back room heard the noise outside, scolded and walked out: "What thing that doesn't have long eyes, making a fuss at the door of our house, and not letting people do business?" ”
It's just that as soon as the woman walked to the door, she was startled.
"Oh my goodness, how much do these people have clothes?" She saw Fu Jing and the others, and the whole person stood there as if he had been struck by lightning.
Meng Xie didn't care about her, he saw her come out of the room behind Cao Qinhuai, so he walked up directly.
"Your little lady, our son-in-law wants it. These thirty taels are for you to sell your body. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around them sighed. Cao Qinhuai's face also turned slightly pale, after all, anyone who heard the news of buying and selling himself felt uncomfortable.
The woman, on the other hand, saw the silver handed by Meng Xie, and her eyes were about to straighten. But she rolled her eyes again, and smiled at Meng Xie:
"This lord, look at our family Qin Huai, but this is a recognized beauty in ten miles and eight towns. We raised her so strongly, oops, it's sure to be the material for a son. Look, you this, can you have a little more. What's the matter, our Qin Huai is also worth fifty taels of silver. ”
"Hey, you shrew, are you looking at grandpa and I'm wronged, so easy to bully?" When Meng Xie heard this, his eyes widened. He was originally a man with five big and three coarse men, and under such angry eyes, it was even more terrifying. Scared the woman so that her legs went limp.
Fu Jing glanced at the woman with a little meaning, and then said, "Give it to her, it's just twenty taels of silver." It's just that I hope you'd better make it clear to her in the future. ”
"Well, don't worry. I've never known anyone named Cao Qinhuai. The woman held the silver in her hand and gnawed it, and after confirming the authenticity, she smiled with a smile on her face.
"It's better that way, if I see you again, the guards around me won't be polite. They don't have a good temper. Fu Jing said coldly.
"You can rest assured, you can rest assured." As Fu Jing's words fell, Meng Xie pulled out part of his saber to show that Fu Jing was telling the truth. This combination of grace and power, Fu Jing used it perfectly.
Ignoring the woman who saw the money, Fu Jing turned his head and looked at Cao Qinhuai with some fear, he smiled at her and said, "What's your name?" ”
"The little girl's surname is Cao."
"Name, is it Qin Huai?"
"Exactly." Cao Qinhuai nodded cowardly and replied to Fu Jing. She didn't dare to speak in front of this generous prince now.
"Good name." After Fu Jing knew Cao Qinhuai's name, he casually praised it, and then got on the horse again, and just when Cao Qinhuai thought he was going to be pulled down, he stretched out a hand to her.
"Get on the horse." Fu Jing said softly, as if he was afraid of abrupt beauty.
Cao Qinhuai was stunned, but still hesitantly stretched out his somewhat calloused hand towards Fu Jing. That warm feeling, Cao Qinhuai knew that no matter how long it took, he could experience it. Because it was like a sudden light in a dark world.
Here in the sixth courtyard of the deep palace, Li Shu, who was bored running the door to play with Liu Yunshao, suddenly paused, but she quickly reacted, covered up the pause, and did not show anything strange in front of Liu Yunshao and Chu Nan, who also came to Jingsu Palace.
"Stupid, what's going on with the alarm sound of the system just now?" Li Shu said in his heart through psychological induction.
Just now, there was a sudden alarm sound from the system, which made Li Shu startled. At this time, Clumsy took the small reading glasses that he didn't know where to get them, and operated on the system panel and said, "Host, it's the mission emergency warning issued by the system." ”
"The system shows that the plan of the original male protagonist has begun to be implemented, please prepare the host. Also, the host, it seems that the world has changed a little because of our arrival, and it may not be very good. Clumsy swallowed, and it blinked at Li Shu.
Li Shu asked in his heart: "Did you say anything specific?" ”
"Yes, the system said that we triggered the big boss behind the scenes."
"Huh? Is it the same as He Yunmo in the previous world? Mentioning that name again, Li Shu can already do no waves in his heart. She treasured her memories of him in one place.
"It's not." Stupid shook his head at Li Shu. "It's different, Mo Ye in the last world is the big boss of the original book, but this world is the big boss generated after the butterfly effect of the plot deviates a little from the main line after we came."
"In layman's terms, we have to work with all the characters in this small world to face the big boss and deal with him."
