Chapter 39: Unexpected Joy
Wu Shuang came to He Xinglou today, and saw that Boss Wang was waiting at the door early, and as soon as their car stopped, Boss Wang hurried to catch up.
"If you don't come again, I'll have to send my men to the village to find you."
The last time Boss Wang was so enthusiastic was because of the rich businessman's troubles.
Wu Shuang asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Boss Wang said: "Today, this distinguished guest named to eat the dishes you got the golden plaque." ”
Those dishes took a lot of effort to make, and the price was not affordable for ordinary people, so she didn't let Boss Wang list it.
Wu Shuang rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands, and looked at Boss Wang with a smile: "These dishes are not cheap. ”
Boss Wang's face was also happy, who was not happy to entertain distinguished guests, he generously handed over a heavy bag of silver, "It's not bad money, you just do it." ”
Wu Shuang counted the numbers and felt that there was no loss, so he ordered everyone to set up a pot and make a fire, and they were busy lively.
After a while, four dishes, one soup and one dessert were prepared one by one and served.
The diners upstairs were very satisfied after tasting it, and after a while, someone sent someone to bring the reward.
Boss Wang didn't dare to be greedy, and gave it all to Wu Shuang.
This trip was not in vain, Wu Shuang made a lot of money, and took Song Qingyuan back home.
Even the donkey seemed to feel the joy of his master, raised his hooves, and walked much brisker than ever.
As they gradually moved away, the window of the private room on the second floor opened, Song Qirui stood by the window with a wine glass, he smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, and said to himself: "It's really a wonderful fate." ”
He wanted to come for a delicious meal, but he was rewarded with a surprise.
This little chef who makes food is actually with Song Qingyuan.
Zhang Guang also saw the figures of the two, and he seemed to be a little incredulous, "Your Highness, is that King Qi?" ”
From a distance, I only looked at the figure, but the person wearing a coarse cloth robe was really King Qi?
Seeing Song Qirui nodded, Zhang Guang's eyes darkened, and he said, "Do you want your subordinates to go to ...... now?"
Song Qirui interrupted him, "Stupid. Do you know that he was lost in battle that day, and the light armor guard of hundreds of people was also destroyed, and those people were all selected by thousands of people, each with one enemy and one hundred, would be defeated so easily? If not, would the king have kept him to this day? ”
It wasn't until he could no longer see the two of them that Song Qirui closed the window, and he snorted softly: "If you want to send you to death, this king will never stop you." ”
Zhang Guang didn't expect it to be powerful, so he didn't dare to intervene anymore.
Song Qingyuan appeared in Anhai Village, and the place where the koi woman disappeared was Kaibei Town, the two places were only a few dozen miles apart, and the connection between them made him have to wonder if the two had anything to do before, so he came to see it in person.
Song Qirui took a sip of wine and asked, "Zhang Guang, do you know what His Royal Highness King Qi has to offer?" ”
Zhang Guang thought about it and felt that King Qi had a lot of outstanding features, and the saint often praised him for his intelligence, Wen Taowu was unattainable, and even his appearance was one and the same.
He couldn't tell which point his master was asking, for fear that he would get into trouble by answering the wrong question, so he searched his stomach for a long time, and decided to prevaricate by saying a shortcoming.
"No, don't accumulate virtue?"
People who have gotten along with King Qi know that this highness has a vicious tongue, often in one sentence, every word is heart-wrenching, arguing with hundreds of schools of thought in the court, and often provoking those old ministers not to come to the stage.
Obviously, this answer was not expected by Song Qirui, he glared at Zhang Guang and said, "Not close to women." ”
Zhang Guang suddenly realized, this is indeed strange, don't say it's royal, even a man of this age should be married, but King Qi often shirks marrying on the grounds of state affairs, and even the beautiful concubine rewarded by the saint did not leave one, the backyard of the entire Qi Wangfu is empty, and there is nothing else to do at night except to turn off the lights and sleep, it feels strange and boring to think about.
Song Qirui said: "Aren't you curious about such a person now having a woman by his side?" ”
From the back, it can be seen that the two people are very close, and King Qi is still driving for the woman.
Song Qirui glanced at him and asked with hatred, "Do you know what to do now?" ”
It's all on this, Zhang Guang understands it, and immediately clenches his fists and says: "My subordinates will go to check the origin of this woman." ”
Song Qirui finally nodded with satisfaction.
In the past few days, it has rained a few times, and the weather is getting cooler day by day, Wu Guitian feels sorry for Wu Shuang, and does not let her go out to deliver goods with her, so that she can learn to do some needlework at home to pass the time.
Song Qingyuan also said: "I'll go alone, you accompany Uncle Guitian at home, the business of the restaurant is lighter these days, and you will run for nothing." ”
No one had ordered her food for days, and the number of pedestrians in the town was decreasing, as if everyone was preparing for the winter.
Only Wu Guitian and Wu Shuang are left in the house, Wu Shuang's needlework is now decent, except for embroidery, it is no longer a problem to be able to sew up an object.
The father and daughter were talking and laughing in the house, when they heard something fall to the ground outside, and there was a "bang", causing a lot of noise.
Wu Shuang and Wu Guitian went out to check, and saw an old woman in ragged clothes lying outside the door, with a broken bowl in her arms and a walking stick in her hand, as if she had begged from somewhere.
I heard that there was a disaster in the south this year, and many people left their hometowns to earn a living, and there were a few in their villages occasionally, often with their families in tow, and it is rare for someone to be alone at such an old age.
Wu Guitian was warm-hearted, so he hurriedly helped the person up, stood left and right with Wu Shuang, and placed her in the courtyard to sit down.
After feeding a bowl of thin batter, the old woman finally relieved herself and secretly wiped her tears in the corner alone.
What she said was similar to what they had guessed before, that she had indeed come from the south, but that she had a son and daughter-in-law before, but she was separated halfway, and she was left alone.
Wu Guitian is also a parent, and when he thought of being separated from his closest relatives, he also became sad, and he couldn't wait to find his son and daughter-in-law for the old woman.
He was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Shuang, "Mother-in-law fainted because she was hungry, and I had lunch here for a while, and I will bring you some dry food to hurry." ”
Although he said polite words, the meaning of chasing away customers was obvious.
The old woman didn't know whether she really didn't understand or fake, anyway, she just nodded and took Wu Shuang's hand and couldn't stop praising it, "Good girl." ”
Wu Guitian dragged Wu Shuang aside and whispered: "This old man is so pitiful, let's take her in for a few days and let her go, I heard her say that she and her son were separated around here, let's let the people in the village help find it." ”
Wu Shuang just interrupted Wu Guitian's words to see that he meant to keep people.
Wu Guitian probably has a habit of picking up people, and it doesn't matter if he picks her up, he has to take Shen Ruoran in, and then there will be another begging old woman.
Wu Shuang frightened him: "This person is unknown, you dare to take him in, have you forgotten the moth that my cousin made at home?" ”
Wu Guitian was silent and consciously took care of his losses.
It was indeed his mistake to take in that Shen girl, and it seemed that not everyone was so kind to Wu Shuang.
Wu Shuang said: "I know you are kind-hearted, if it weren't for your soft heart, you wouldn't have taken me in at the beginning, but the premise of our help is that the other party can't have bad intentions." ”
Wu Guitian said vigilantly: "What? Do you see that something is wrong with this man? ”
Wu Shuang shook her head, "That's not true, but I always feel that something is not right." ”
There are so many houses in the village, and their house is considered to stand out after repair, and you can see it at a glance among the many thatched huts with low courtyard walls.
However, there is still a distance from the entrance of the village to Wu Guitian's house, and their house is not adjacent to the main road, so they need to walk along a fork in the road for another section. This lot is not pleasant, and everyone didn't want it when the land was divided, so it fell into the hands of Wu Guitian.
The old woman, who was obviously physically exhausted, could still wander around the village for so long, and fell to his door with unmistakable accuracy, felt strange when he thought about it.
Although this was just her instinct, it had always been accurate, and she felt in her heart that this person could not stay.
She told the old woman to rest in the courtyard, and went to the kitchen to make a fire and cook for her, and prepared something for her.
The old woman probably had just eaten and had the strength, and she felt that she couldn't go, so she had to follow Wu Shuang to the kitchen to help.
Wu Shuang couldn't get rid of it, so she had to agree.
During this time, she only asked the old woman to do simple tasks, such as making a fire, handing things and the like, and never let her go near food or water.
The old woman handed the basin to Wu Shuang and said with a smile: "If she is really a good girl, she will not let my old woman be tired at all, if only my daughter-in-law was half as strong as you." ”
As she spoke, she began to babble about her daughter-in-law, Wu Shuang could hear her left ear going in and out of her right ear, absent-mindedly.
"Ouch, girl, why did you put the noodles down before the water boiled." The old woman's voice pulled Wu Shuang's thoughts back, and she realized that she had just lost her mind, and threw down the noodles that had been rolled.
Wu Shuang took the shovel and stirred it twice, and said without changing her face: "It's okay, auntie, that's how our family cooks, and the noodles are cooked with water and eat strong." ”
The old woman seemed to believe but did not believe.
When the meal was ready, the old woman was embarrassed to eat it herself, so she sat down and ate it together.
Wu Guitian felt that it was a little strange for him and Wu Shuang to watch people eating next to him, which made the old man embarrassed to eat, so he also sat down, and was just about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the food, Wu Shuang was shocked and said that he remembered something, and pulled Wu Guitian to the back room.
Wu Guitian said strangely: "Xiaoshuang, what's wrong with you, you can't say anything there." ”
Wu Shuang said: "Dad, let's try not to eat or drink for a while, and when the lady finishes eating, I will take something to let her go, I really let me say it, this person is afraid that he is a liar." ”
Wu Guitian was shocked: "Isn't it seeking wealth? ”
His family has been in the limelight in the village during this time, and everyone knows that his family is living a good life, and it is not impossible to be remembered.
