Chapter 35: The Feng Family Compound

But Xu Weiqiu was determined, and immediately found Xu Sanye's home to explain his intentions. and asked Xu Sanye if the house could be rented to her.

Xu Sanye touched his beard and looked at her: "I recognize you, you are the eldest girl of Xu Lian's family, you just moved to the village, I don't know the origin of this house." ”

"I know, third grandfather, your mother used to recuperate there, right?"

When Xu Sanye heard her words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Then you still dare to live?" "Because of the strange disease that my mother had back then, for many years, no one in the village dared to interact with their family.

Xu Weiqiu shook his head: "I'm not afraid." ”

"I can't live there, the roof has fallen off."

"I'll find someone to fix it, third grandfather, you just let me live, right? I'll give you rent every month. ”

"You girl is really." Xu Sanye was so entangled by her that he couldn't help it, so he finally nodded: "Forget the rent, you can live if you want to." I'm going to say that I'm not responsible if this house collapses and hits someone. ”

"Done!" Xu Weiqiu was full of joy and nodded again and again......

------------

The vegetable market in Lanyang City is full of people and lively.

Xu Weiqiu is very busy, she has never been short of catties and shortages in business, plus good service attitude, as long as the customer asks, killing fish, beating fish scales, and even cutting fish fillets and meatloaf for customers, so her fish stall business is also very good.

A guest picked a carp.

She weighed it: "Auntie, two catties and four taels." ”

"Is it that heavy?"

"Why not, you see, this fish is big, I'll wipe you a small change, and I'll charge you fifteen yuan."

"Come on, you can deal with the fish by the way." The woman demanded.

"Okay, no problem."

I saw her pressing the carp on the cutting board with one hand, the knife rose and fell, and in a blink of an eye, the carp that was still alive and kicking had been disemboweled, and the knife skill was very good.

The weather was cold, her ten fingers were already red, but this did not affect her work, and she was quickly beating the scales, a middle-aged man in a dark gray robe walked over, glanced at the basin in front of her, and asked, "Girl, do you have any good goods today?" ”

Xu Weiqiu saw that it was an old customer, and hurriedly greeted: "It's Manager Feng, it's all violent, you see what fish you want to buy." As she spoke, the fish in her hand had been disposed of, and she wrapped it in something and handed it to the woman waiting in front of the stall, and accepted the money.

Steward Feng stood there and looked at it for a while, and said, "Give me two each of this crucian carp, carp, and perch." ”

Xu Weiqiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "So much today?" ”

"Yes, we have to prepare for today's banquet in the house. I still have to buy other ingredients, you pick a few good ones for me and send them directly, according to the old rules, cash on delivery. ”

"Yes, no problem."

After making a few more transactions, Xu Weiqiu saw that it was not too early, so he handed over the stall to the helper who sold dry goods next to him, picked a few good fish and carried them in two buckets, and walked towards the Feng family's compound.

The Feng family's compound is not far from the vegetable market, and it is not the first time she has sent fish to it.

However, when she entered through the corner door with a bucket of water, she had just crossed the threshold and was stopped by the doorman.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly explained: "This little brother, I sent fish to the room, which was ordered by Steward Feng. "The burden is very heavy, she picked it up from the vegetable market in one breath, and her speech is a little unstable at the moment.

"No, you can't get in from here."

This Feng family compound covers a large area, and the back door is very far away, Xu Weiqiu beat a drum in his heart when he heard this: "Please be accommodating, I entered through this door in the past, why can't I do it today?" ”

"I said that if you don't make it, you can't do it, and all the idle people will go through the back door. There are distinguished guests in the house today, let you enter from here, if you collide with the nobles, who can afford it, hurry up, exit. The doorman chased her away with an impatient expression.

Xu Weiqiu took a step back, the threshold of this corner door was not short, she retreated, the bottom of the barrel inevitably collided with the threshold, and the water in the bucket spilled down.

In order to facilitate her work, she was dressed simply, and her skirt was cut short to the knees, revealing her long linen trousers.

As soon as the water was sprinkled, she suddenly felt a chill in the back.

"Look, you see, the ground is dirty......" In the loud reprimand of the doorman, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and a very imposing carriage stopped in front of the gate.

The doorman saw his young master rushing to the front of the car, and he pushed Xu Weiqiu: "Hurry up and clean it up." After saying this, the people hurried away.

Xu Weiqiu had no choice but to put down his burden, pick up the rag hanging on the flat shoulder, bend down to wipe the water stains on the ground. As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the doorman who was still pointing at him, bowing to the brocade-clothed young man standing in front of the carriage.

She hurriedly cleaned up, picked up the bucket and withdrew, following the high fence on the right-hand side in the direction of the back door.

As soon as she walked away, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two huge domestic dogs came out of it, and the doorman was startled, and could not help but scream, and then quickly silenced him.

Feng Yijun, the second eldest member of the Feng family, glanced at him, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute the people in the carriage: "Brother Zhao, please." ”

Out of the carriage came a man in his early twenties, richly dressed and of extraordinary appearance.

He nodded at the second child of the Feng family, unceremoniously stepped on the back of the doorman who was lying on the ground, and used this as a stepping stone to easily get off the carriage.

Under the guidance of Feng Laoer, he walked into the Feng family's compound from the main entrance, and the two giant dogs kept following him and wagging their tails......

Xu Weiqiu walked along the high wall of the Feng family's compound, went around for a long time, found a back door, and explained to the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper didn't do much to let her go.

She was stunned after entering the door, she was familiar with the room from the front door, but she was still walking back to the back door, walking and walking, she couldn't figure out the direction, she could only estimate the general direction to move forward, thinking about finding someone to ask for directions, who knew that she had walked for a long time and did not see anyone.

It was almost noon, the sun was dizzy, she found a place under the eaves to rest, and as soon as the bucket was put down, she heard a scolding from behind: "Hey, who's there?" ”

Xu Weiqiu turned around and saw a young girl dressed as a ring standing not far away and pointing at her, and beside her, there was a beautiful woman dressed exquisitely.

Seeing her pockmarked face, the two couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly saluted him: "Hello two sisters, I am the one who delivered fish to the room, and I got lost for a while, I don't know if you can give you some advice." ”
