Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hurting Self-Esteem

Hong Fang happily choked several bowls of white rice with braised pork, and in addition to the endless admiration for He Xiaoqiao, he was all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Jiang Fenghao - with the princess by his side, no wonder the boss looked fatter than before!

Anyway, this little day is too comfortable!

But now, ten years of feng shui have taken turns, the boss is not there, and it is finally their turn to live a happy life accompanied by good wine and good food every day.

Hong Fang and Bai Shou glanced at each other, and they both saw a kind of satisfaction and excitement in each other's eyes.

"Come on, it's rare to be happy today, Cailian went to take out the plum wine brewed before, and everyone had a drink."

As soon as He Xiaoqiao's words fell, everyone else was happy, and Rao is Suo'er, who couldn't drink, was also excited.

Cai Lian answered, smiled and left the table to get the wine in the small room where the miscellaneous items were kept.

Liu Yidao looked at a table of people happy, his eyes flashed, and his eyes were full of soft light when he looked at He Xiaoqiao.

If his baby daughter is still there, she should be as sensible and likable as He Xiaoqiao.

A lunch is full of oily mouths, although there are only four dishes including bone broth, but the victory is enough to fill the portions, and it is absolutely full.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was eating, He Xiaoqiao went to the kitchen to cook lily lotus seed white fungus soup again, and after eating, it was a bowl for one person, which was refreshing and greasy.

After eating, everyone dispersed.

The alcohol concentration of plum wine is not high, Rao is He Xiaoqiao is not good at drinking, and he drank two bowls happily, although he was a little drunk, but in addition to blushing, his head was quite sober.

When Cailian and Suo'er removed the dishes on the dining table, Liu Yidao looked at her as if her eyes couldn't be opened, and she was ready to leave after a few sips of tea.

He Xiaoqiao shook his head, stood up with a smile and prepared to send him back.

Liu Yidao declined with a smile, "It's cold, but it's just a few steps away, so Xiao Qiao doesn't need to send it." ”

He Xiaoqiao is a child with a heart, he knows it, but looking at her red cheeks now, I'm afraid that she will have a headache when she wakes up.

"Then let Hong Fang send you on my behalf." He Xiaoqiao sniffed, put his two cold hands against his hot cheeks to cool down, tilted his head and smiled a little silly.

Liu Yidao's legs and feet are inconvenient, and now it is still snowing outside, the road is slippery, and it is more reliable to have someone next to him.

"That's fine." Seeing that He Xiaoqiao glanced at his feet without a trace, and there was still worry on his face, Liu Yidao couldn't help but smile and responded to her request.

Hong Fang was originally sent by any Xiao Qiao, and now that he is full of food and drink, he feels that he has the strength to not play, as soon as He Xiaoqiao said this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Princess, your subordinates will definitely send Steward Liu back to the room safely." ”

Saying that, he half-bent down and made a gesture to give Liu Yidao an ecstasy princess hug, but the latter hit the back of his hand with a crutch without a trace, and screamed, and immediately straightened his back, not daring to play pranks again.

Liu Yidao squinted at him, raised his eyebrows, smiled and scolded 'little rabbit', and said angrily, "Just stand on the side, I'm old but my legs are still sharp." ”

Even if he is on crutches, he can walk like the wind - he promised to let Hong Fang send him back, but he didn't want He Xiaoqiao to worry!

Sending Liu Yidao away, He Xiaoqiao went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw that Cailian and the others had cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks neatly, took some hot water and washed their faces, frowned and pinched their cheeks, and finally couldn't withstand Zhou Gong's call, so they returned to the room and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside, He Xiaoqiao beat her somewhat sore head in annoyance and muttered twice, as soon as winter came, her lazy sleep problem became more and more serious.

Dinner was made by Cai Lian, a carrot ball soup and a plate of fried pork with white sauce, the master and servant ate a full meal, and after sneaking around outside, He Xiaoqiao began to think about the future plan of the gambling house.

I drew the crescent-shaped table of the modern casino on paper, picked it up and looked at it by candlelight, although the lines looked a little distorted, but the overall shape could still be seen, He Xiaoqiao said that he was very satisfied.

In addition to the mode of the gaming table, there are also goblets and the like, although they are certainly not made of transparent glass, but they are made of wood as well, just to make a fresh picture.

Two days later, the weather finally cleared.

He Xiaoqiao took the drawings he had drawn, and still changed into men's clothes and went to the rich gambling house. Hong Fang and Bai Shou followed in unison, but this time Cai Lian was busy cleaning up the house, but he didn't follow.

When Steward Liao heard the report, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and went to the door to pick up people.

He Xiaoqiao didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and after a few sips of hot tea, he bluntly handed him the design drawings of the gaming table, bar counter and goblet, and asked him to find a reliable workshop to make it after a general explanation.

"I wonder how many sets of these things the owner is going to make?" Steward Liao couldn't put it down, holding those drawings and looking at them again and again, the more he looked at them, the more he felt that this thing would definitely attract the attention of the guests.

If it is made of jade of good material, even if there is no pattern, it should not be lost to the jade wine used by the nobles in the palace, and the gambling table made into a half-moon shape, with a high table about two inches on the edge of the table, just so that guests can rest their hands on it at will, which is both beautiful and practical.

"Well...... He Xiaoqiao pondered for a while, to be honest, she didn't think about it, she just cared about the hot drawing, and after drawing the picture, she came to manage Liao, and she didn't think about calculating the number at all.

"The table and the matching chairs will be beaten out of five sets first, and as for the goblets, it will cost twelve, and the carved teacups will be twenty-six, and then it will not be enough to play again." After lowering his head and thinking about it, He Xiaoqiao added, "The goblet must be made of wood that has no taste and is resistant to falling, I don't understand this aspect, and I will have to trouble Steward Liao to help check it when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, the villain knows that there is a carpenter who is doing a particularly good job, and there should be no problem in the selection of materials and production." Although she offended He Xiaoqiao because of her recklessness before, it seems that she didn't hold much grudges today, and Steward Liao finally put her mind at ease. While being impressed by her, he couldn't help but be happy that Jiang Fenghao could find a virtuous helper.

"Okay, this matter will be fully entrusted to Steward Liao, and I will take a look at it when the things are made." He Xiaoqiao nodded, and after handing over the 'heavy responsibility', he felt a lot more relaxed, "By the way, according to Steward Liao, can this batch of things be produced before the year?" ”

"If you go all out to catch up with it, it should be no problem," Steward Liao put away the drawings, stroked his beard with his hands, and said, "I also have some friendship with the shopkeeper of that house, these are not too big things, and they should be able to be driven out in more than half a month." ”

"That's very good."

With a satisfied smile on his face, He Xiaoqiao shook off the jade bone fan and fanned it twice, and then a spirit shrunk his neck from the cold wind on the oncoming cold, and quickly put the folding fan away - it is really not a wise move to take a fan and pretend to be X on a cold day.

After leaving the Fugui Gambling House, He Xiaoqiao did not go back to the palace directly, but wandered around the street as if nothing happened, asking where there were blacksmith shops and carpenter shops, asking whose work was better.

Hong Fang and Bai Shou followed from a distance, and both of them looked inexplicable.

"What do you think the princess wants to do?" Hong Fang looked at He Xiaoqiao, who was chatting happily with a lady carrying a basket of vegetables in front of him, tilted his head to Bai Shou's side, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you already hand over everything to Steward Liao just now...... Could it be that you can't trust him? ”

"You care so much." Bai Shoujun's face was indifferent, and without squinting, he pushed away the big eye-catching head that Hong Fang was close to him with the hilt of his sword, "What the princess wants to do naturally has her own plan, and we have no right to ask." ”

Hong Fang grabbed his beard with his hand, obviously a little unable to stand Bai Shou's glance, but since what he said was also reasonable, he didn't ask any more, just silently followed behind He Xiaoqiao.

Seeing that she was accosted by a young girl again, Hong Fang couldn't help but feel all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart - just women dressed as men can have this treatment, why doesn't anyone take a fancy to him, a genuine pure man?

Subconsciously touched his beard, remembering that every time he asked someone for directions before, those big girls and little daughters-in-law all regarded him as a bandit ringing horse, and they couldn't wait to drive him away with screams and frightened eyes, and then compared to He Xiaoqiao, who was popular with women and was at ease, Hong Fang couldn't help but feel sad.

This still doesn't let people live!

"That's it!" After collecting enough information he wanted, He Xiaoqiao calmly broke through the encirclement of women and returned triumphantly, holding a folding fan in one hand and a wicker basket in the other, in addition to fresh vegetables and fruits, there were also several red-skinned eggs, which were obviously the trophies obtained just now.

Hong Fang's pair of bull's eyes turned red on the spot - so jealous!

Handing the basket to Bai Shou to carry, He Xiaoqiao saw Hong Fangzheng next door with red eyes and a sad and angry face, and subconsciously asked, "Hong Fang, are you constipated?" ”

Look at that face stinks, it's almost catching up with the stones in the pit.

As soon as He Xiaoqiao's unobstructed words came out, the corners of Bai Shou's mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times, and the cool face that had not changed for thousands of years was a little distorted and deformed.

As for the party Hong Fang, he silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and resolutely refused to admit that he had hurt his self-esteem because he saw He Xiaoqiao, a pseudo-man who was more popular than himself, "My subordinates just remembered some unpleasant past, so I was a little depressed." ”

"Or is it a matter of marrying a daughter-in-law?" He Xiaoqiao thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter could make Hong Fang, a bold big man, entangled, "Anyway, isn't all your money stored in the money bank?" If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you take the money and go to someone's girl's house to propose marriage! ”

Saying that, He Xiaoqiao suggested ruthlessly, "If you are embarrassed to go in person, it's okay." Come, tell me which girl you have taken a fancy to, this girl will help you propose? ”

It's okay not to mention this, but when Hong Fang mentions it, he wants to vomit blood even more.

couldn't hide his sadness and glanced at her, Hong Fang silently hung his head and looked at the floor, his expression was even more depressed than before, and he Xiaoqiao was all kinds of inexplicable.

What's going on now? Could she be wrong?

Throwing a 'seeking the truth, seeking to solve doubts' look at Bai Shou, after the latter reacted, he immediately gave a concise explanation, "Lao Hong went to Qianzhuang yesterday, and the manager of Qianzhuang said that there is no boss...... It's the release slip written by the prince himself, and there is no way to take out this money and use it. ”

In other words, Hong Fang's entire net worth is still under Jiang Fenghao's control, and if he wants to take it back, he must first get a release slip from Jiang Fenghao.

However, with Jiang Fenghao's personality, Hong Fang's road to the release bar will definitely be tortuous and far away - even if Jiang Fenghao is willing to mercifully let him go, others are still thousands of miles away!

This trick is decisively cheap to a realm.

It's no wonder that even the big man who has always been natural has to put on such a bitter appearance, if this matter had changed, she would have flipped the table like crazy!
