Seeing that they were being played, several people were even more annoyed, and they were about to rush up, but this son took Shen Ruoran and turned around and retreated to the side, smiling to see the excitement.

Behind him stepped a man in a black suit, with a broad-backed knife hanging from his waist.

As soon as he looked up, several people were stunned, looking at each other and I looked at you, and after a moment they seemed to have reached an agreement with their eyes, and almost at the same time they threw down the old woman and ran away.

The man in black looked fierce and glared at the old woman, and immediately frightened her to death.

Childe asked, "Old man, aren't you leaving?" Why don't you want this friend of mine to talk to you? ”

The man in black stepped forward, and the old lady dared to delay, so she immediately turned around and ran away at the fastest speed in her life.

After everyone left, Shen Ruoran finally lost her strength, and her hanging heart fell, but the ensuing worry made her even more uneasy.

The gang had already seen her, and it was even harder for her to run.

The heavens and the earth are big, where is her place.

Thinking about it, Shen Ruoran couldn't help but cry.

When the boy saw this, his heart relented, and he asked, "If the girl has any difficulties, you can tell me." ”

Shen Ruoran thought that although he was the only person who could help her, he didn't have much time with him, so he didn't dare to rashly tell his past experience and inventory, so he could only make up an excuse for being forced to marry.

"If Childe really wants to help me, take me out of here." Shen Ruoran took retreat as advance, and after speaking, he lowered his head to wipe his tears, but in fact, he used his residual vision to quietly observe the reaction of the person opposite.

The boy seemed to be a little embarrassed, turned around and discussed with the man in black for a moment, and then said: "In this case, the girl will follow us for the time being, we are from Kyoto, and we have to go back when the matter is done, if the girl has any relatives here, we can send you over." ”

Shen Ruoran said thank you on her face, but her heart sank, and it was really just a temporary stay.

In any case, let's talk about it first.

Wu Shuang got up early to prepare the family's breakfast, and when she passed by Song Qingyuan's room, she heard a noise inside.

She thought he was up, so she wanted to ask him what he wanted to eat this morning, but when she didn't get closer, she heard a movement inside, and when she got closer, the sound inside was gone.

Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, blaming her for hearing too well, and almost bumped into other people's secrets.

She made a gesture of not wanting to disturb, passed by his door with a basin, and plunged into the small kitchen.

The people in the house heard her footsteps and walked away, so they continued: "We sent someone to drive her to King Yan's people, but I didn't expect King Yan to pick them up in person in the end. ”

Song Qingyuan didn't want to care about Song Qirui's calculations, since the person had already been delivered, presumably he wouldn't stay here for long.

He gave a few more commands, waved his hand and told them to stand down.

Song Qingyuan opened the door and saw Wu Shuang coming out of the kitchen, holding a vegetable basin and tinkering with something, and his hands were frozen red.

There was a sudden wind in the yard, Song Qingyuan went over to put on her clothes, turned around and went to the kitchen, and after a while, he came over with a basin of boiling hot water and poured it into the basin for her, "In the future, these things will be washed with hot water, my mother said that it is not good for girls to touch too much cold water." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw Wu Shuang looking at him with a smile, "Your mother still told you this?" ”

The sons of these years are all precious, and the average mother hates to teach him how to cook far away, and don't get involved with these jobs for the rest of his life, Song Qingyuan's mother is a clear stream among them, and she also knows that her son feels sorry for the girl.

She teased: "Then have you been particularly popular with girls since you were a child?" ”

is so polite and has a good-looking face, the ancients were enlightened early in this regard, and his family background is good, I don't know how many girls will poison their hearts.

Song Qingyuan shook his head with a wry smile, tried the temperature of the water in the basin, and didn't need Wu Shuang's hands, but actually helped her wash the dishes.

Wu Shuang saw that he didn't answer, and he didn't force it: "I don't want to say it." ”

After a while, Song Qingyuan opened his mouth first, "I didn't have a good life when I was a child, and I wasn't as pampered as you thought. ”

Wu Shuang was stunned.

Song Qingyuan is also slow to work, as if in his place, time is always running out, he can always do things properly without hurrying.

He said: "My father has a group of wives and concubines, I am not a child born in a long house, my mother is weak by nature, and she never wants to fight for anything, so when I was very young, I lived with my mother in a secluded courtyard at home, and sometimes the food and clothing could not catch up with the ordinary people outside. ”

Wu Shuang didn't expect Song Qingyuan to have such a past, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say awkwardly, "It's all over." ”

Song Qingyuan looked at a place of distraction, and his voice suddenly became distant, "After my mother died, I was sad for a long time, and then my father took me out of that courtyard and taught me personally. I used to think that everything was over, the father and son in the family were filial piety, brothers and brothers, even if my mother was gone, my home was still there, but ......"

His hand in the basin of water gradually tightened, his eyes were confused, as if he had fallen into a long and painful memory, and the wild vegetables clutched between his fingers were squeezed out of bright green juice, which immediately dyed the water in the basin.

Wu Shuang held his hand tightly and called, "Song Qingyuan, Song Qingyuan!" ”

After shouting several times, Song Qingyuan's eyes became clear, he looked at Wu Shuang, moved his lips, but said nothing.

"I'm sorry to remind you of the unhappy things, but when we were young, there were always a lot of things we couldn't do anything about, but now it's okay, we can do what we want to do and make up for the shortcomings at that time." Wu Shuang patted her chest, "Am I too?" ”

Song Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Shuang, saw her eyes full of sincerity, looked at herself with a smile, and in an instant, the warm current seemed to cross the tip of her heart.

Wu Shuang and Song Qingyuan made an appointment to go to Ergou's tofu shop together today to have a look, the tofu-based dishes in He Xinglou have been selling well, and Ergou's business is booming, and as soon as they enter the door, they will be greeted by a heat wave.

People in the village generally only raise the smoke when the fire is cooking, and the fire in the stove is often not extinguished all day long because the Ergou family has to boil soy milk.

Wu Shuang put his hand on the stove and roasted it, and said, "It's good winter now, there is charcoal burning all day long, and it won't freeze at all." ”

Ergou grinned and filled it with firewood, "But it's going to be hard in the summer." ”

Ergou is right, this business does have pros and cons.

Wu Shuang walked around Ergou's house and found that he had cleaned up the original room where he had put sundries and made a warehouse, and there were many shelves in it, boxes of tofu on the shelves were placed in turn, and dozens of bags of soybeans were piled up on the ground.

Wu Shuang wondered: "Ergou, how much tofu needs to be used every day to send to He Xinglou?" ”

During this time, she didn't deliver goods much, and Wu Xiuwu usually did it for her, so I don't know if Boss Wang ordered more goods.

Speaking of this, Ergou became happy, "Sister Xiaoshuang, we took over a big business a few days ago. ”

"Oh?"

"A merchant who eats our tofu in He Xinglou thinks it's good, so he asked Boss Wang for the place, and specially came to order thirty boxes, if it sells well, he will come often in the future."

Wu Shuang pondered for a while and said, "How much deposit did he give?" ”

Ergou scratched his head, he was just starting out in business, he was paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other, and it was the first time to deal with such a rich businessman, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "What is a deposit?" ”

Wu Shuang explained: "That is, he will give you a part of the money first, and then give you another part of the money when everything is ready, so as not to let him repay the debt." ”

Ergou immediately understood, and said: "I gave it, he gave the money for a box of tofu, and I was thinking about how to give the money before the delivery was delivered." ”

Wu Shuang faintly felt that this was wrong, "Then did he say what so much tofu is for?" Where do you sell it? ”

Ergou shook his head: "It's all someone else's business, I just sold the tofu to him, as for where he sells it, how can I manage it." ”

Wu Shuang said: "Tofu is not easy to keep fresh, and it will go bad a few days after it is made, even if it is a restaurant as big as He Xinglou, it will not take a few boxes a day."

"If he transports it to other places, it is easy for it to spoil before it is sold, but if it is eaten at home, how many people and how many meals it takes to eat so much tofu, even if it is a wedding banquet, it can't be all tofu.

"If this person has always been in business, it is impossible not to talk to you about the deposit, and now he only paid you for a box of tofu, obviously he can't even get back the cost of beans, even if this person is not a cheat on you, he is not a kind businessman."

Ergou didn't expect that there were so many doorways inside, and he was immediately dumbfounded, "No, that big brother looks very good." ”

People's hearts are separated from their bellies, how can they recognize people through their faces?

Wu Shuang said: "Do you know who his surname is and where he lives?" ”

Ergou shook his head, "He only said that he would come and pick up the goods later today." ”

Wu Shuang was shocked, "So so so many boxes of tofu in the room were prepared for him?" ”

Ergou nodded, pointing to the soy milk that was still boiling on the pot, "And these." ”

It was too late for Wu Shuang to stop it, the beans had already been ground into soy milk and put on the pot, just like opening a bow without turning back, and it was too late to remedy it.

They can only hope that the big merchant is not a liar.

Wu Shuang followed Ergou to make the remaining tofu, and then waited at home for the merchant to pick up the goods.

It's a pity that I waited until the evening, and I never saw the figure of the merchant.

Ergou anxiously paced back and forth at the door, looking in the direction of the village entrance from time to time, "Sister Xiaoshuang, did you say that person forgot the road, or should I go to the village entrance to meet him?" ”

Wu Shuang didn't stop her, but she had already begun to have a bad premonition in her heart, and this time she had met a liar.

After another hour, the second dog ran back from the entrance of the village crying.

"Sister Xiaoshuang, what should I do, that person is really a liar, he hasn't come until now, how can he get so many goods back when it's dark, and then so much tofu should be spoiled tomorrow afternoon."
