Exquisite dishes with all colors and flavors came one after another, and the private room was soon filled with the special aroma of the food after cooking.

Facing a large table of dishes, Bai Shou, who was waiting for sweets, barely touched his chopsticks, Hong Fang tasted every dish, and then frowned and looked unpalatable, Shangguan Yun looked like a person who did not eat fireworks in the world, except for drinking, he only occasionally moved his chopsticks, and only He Xiaoqiao was really eating in a large table of people.

This meal has been eaten for nearly an hour, because there are two big light bulbs, Shangguan Yun can't talk to He Xiaoqiao much, usually he says a word, He Xiaoqiao answers, and occasionally asks him some irrelevant questions from her.

Later, as soon as the dessert came up, the dinner table became a battlefield for Bai Shou - he ate all the more than a dozen plates of dim sum that were so sweet that he could get tired of people by himself, and He Xiaoqiao was speechless.

I didn't expect that in addition to Jiang Fenghao, there were people who could eat so much!

The point is that they are all the same type of thin people, and they will not gain weight no matter how much they eat - this is very jealous.

After eating, Shangguan Yun asked people to send hot tea to eliminate greasy, and ordered the best Biluochun, but it is a pity that He Xiaoqiao and the others are pure cow chewing peonies, and none of them can drink it, of course, there is no fan's sentence, "Good tea!" ”

Fortunately, Shangguan Yun didn't mind, but felt that He Xiaoqiao's reaction was real.

"He Gongzi ......"

"Cousin, it's time for us to go back." Shangguan Yun was just about to speak, but the white head in the corner suddenly burst out silently, and He Xiaoqiao almost couldn't help but squirt out the tea.

"Yes, cousin," Hong Fang followed, calmly agreed, "It's been long enough to come out today, and if you don't go back, I guess our uncle will be in a hurry." ”

Uncle, Liu Yidao is also.

"What time is it?"

He Xiaoqiao turned his head to look out the window, and saw that the sky was really dark, and when he looked at Shangguan Yun again, his face was a little hesitant, "Shangguan Gongzi ......"

"It's okay," Shangguan Yun certainly knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her with a smile, "It's snowing everywhere outside now, and it's hard to walk when it's dark, so you should go back early." ”

Seeing that Shangguan Yun had paved a step for himself, He Xiaoqiao immediately stepped down, and then glanced at him gratefully, "Since that's the case, then let's leave first." ”

"Give He Gongzi a ride." Shangguan Yun nodded and was about to stand up.

He Xiaoqiao hurriedly stopped, "Don't bother Shangguan Gongzi, let's just go back." ”

She still has to go downstairs to settle the bill, so that Shangguan Yun will inevitably be suspected of being pretentious - although she really wants Shangguan Yun to be moved after seeing it and then rush to pay the bill herself, but obviously that is not realistic.

Seeing He Xiaoqiao's insistence, Shangguan Yun didn't say anything about sending them away, and stood at the door of the private room to watch He Xiaoqiao and his party go downstairs, and then turned back with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He Xiaoqiao was waiting for this time, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately ran to the counter with a whoosh, "Shopkeeper, how much was the consumption of the peony room upstairs just now?" ”

The shopkeeper who was dialing the abacus beads looked up at her when he heard this, and saw her looking upstairs sneakily from time to time, his brows furrowed, but he still explained good-naturedly, "This guest officer, unless the guest agrees, the small shop can't say how much money the guest spends." ”

What a rule-breaking! Isn't she just afraid that she's here to gossip!

He Xiaoqiao pursed his lips, took out several silver tickets from his arms and slapped them on the table, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I am the guest in the peony room just now, hurry up and settle it, I can pay and leave." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Fang, who was following behind, almost dropped his jaw at the same time as Bai Shou.

Originally, they thought that Shangguan Yun would treat him to bloodletting, so the two of them chose the most expensive dishes, but if He Xiaoqiao paid the money now, wouldn't it be equivalent to stealing chickens and rice, and directly pit their own people?

Table ...... Cousin ...... "Hong Fang swallowed his saliva, and really wanted to reach out and pull He Xiaoqiao back-everyone said that they had a treat, and you still stupidly went to give money for the meal, what kind of stubbornness is this!"

"It's okay, look at me." He Xiaoqiao turned around and gave the two of them a reassuring gesture, then turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please hurry up and settle it, let's go back in a hurry!" ”

The shopkeeper seemed to be a little surprised, and then glanced at He Xiaoqiao, who was pouting and pretending to be arrogant, and laughed suddenly, "I'm afraid the small shop can't do what this son asked." ”

"Huh?!" He Xiaoqiao glared, "Why can't you do it?" ”

Is it illegal to give money? What is this evasive attitude?

The shopkeeper of Taibai Lou stroked his beard, smiled, and looked at He Xiaoqiao's eyes like a grumpy little child, "Childe, don't you know, the peony room has always been the exclusive private room of Lord Shangguan, and all his expenses here are sent to the house and settled, and the small shop never charges separately." ”

Fortunately, the money is still counted on Shangguan Yun's head!

Hong Fang exhaled exaggeratedly, and there was obvious happiness in Bai Shou's eyes, even He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat in his heart.

I was hot-headed just now, but now I think about it - what is the identity of Shangguan Yun, the guests are all in Taibai Mansion, and she still doesn't change her face at all, and her family background must be rich, where can she, the little local tyrant who let the pie hit halfway, compare?

Although the money for this meal is only a few hundred taels at most, you can still take it out by gritting your teeth, but it's all white silver, if you can swipe the card like in your previous life, forget it, but now it's counting the banknotes to others in person, and it's super heartbreaking to think about it!

You know, it's hard to make money!

Out of the Taibai Building, the sky is darker.

Seeing that it was about to start snowing again, the three of them hurried back together, and finally entered the door just in time when the snowflakes were falling.

The snow came suddenly, and it was several days without stopping, in the middle He Xiaoqiao braved the snow to go to the Double Happiness carpenter shop, confirmed the wood for making playing cards, and asked Master Zheng to make six decks of cards, and then hurried back after paying the deposit.

Cai Lian was worried that she would suffer from the cold, so she had to boil ginger soup for her to drink, and I heard that people would die if the cold was serious here, He Xiaoqiao was very obedient and compromised.

Originally, I was thinking of going to the Fugui Gambling House every two days, who thought that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, the heavy snow did not stop, just the day before the plan, He Xiaoqiao's aunt, who was never too punctual, actually came to visit on time this time.

Cai Lian and Suo'er saw that she was holding her stomach and her face was a little pale, and they were a little at a loss, and finally Cai Lian temporarily remembered that He Xiaoqiao would drink brown sugar water when she came to menstruation before, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil it and poured it for her, and added two more charcoal basins to the house to prevent her from catching a cold.

Suo'er secretly went to ask other people in the house, and when she came back, she brought two soup women to make He Xiaoqiao more comfortable to hold.

The inside of the house was as warm as spring, and the heavy snow outside the house never stopped.

Although I have slept for a while, my stomach is finally not so uncomfortable, but I still can't avoid the weakness of my hands and feet, and at night, He Xiaoqiao sat under the lamp and looked listless and flipped through the book.

Probably when I came to my aunt, women would be very vulnerable, I didn't read the book, but I thought of Jiang Fenghao from time to time, thinking that guy didn't know where he was now, what should I do if it rains and snows on the road? What if he splits his legs on his back on the road?

I thought about it a lot, and then I started to tear up alone.

Cai Lian and Suo'er hurriedly teased her for a long time, but she actually cried even more.

"I ...... I'm just panicking, and you make me cry...... Hiccup, just cry. Someone who was sad and sad said while it was raining heavily, and he went to pull a handkerchief and wiped it on his face, and before he could breathe, he began to lie on the table again.

Cai Lian and Suo'er looked at each other, and finally decided that one would stay with her, and the other would go to the kitchen to boil some hot water, so that he could wipe his face when He Xiaoqiao eased up.

This state lasted for two days, and on the third day, the woman who almost grieved herself to death finally reacted, unloaded her psychological baggage, and began to jump around again.

The two maidservants, along with Hong Fangbai, breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no major problems in the previous few months, He Xiaoqiao's abnormality really scared them enough, and even Liu Yidao was alarmed, and almost didn't agree with Hong Fang's proposal to invite someone to dance the great god to exorcise evil spirits - fortunately, he stopped at the last moment and went to the doctor instead.

It was a morning when it had just sunset.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Liu Yidao came over early in the morning to ask He Xiaoqiao what preparations to make or what New Year's goods to buy, so he could tell the people below to do it.

“…… Although the house rarely moves around with others, you have to prepare the necessary things, such as New Year's gifts for the emperor and the queen mother, and other ministers come to pay New Year's greetings, etc., in addition to the year-end dividends and benefits of hundreds of people in the house, if you don't want to arrange things such as rulers, meat, etc., you can also give money directly, and the specific amount is determined by ......Xiao Qiao."

"Wait!"

Seeing that Liu Yidao looked like he was the housewife, He Xiaoqiao, who was dizzy by those New Year's gifts, dividends and other things, was extremely frightened and paused in a posture, and quickly refused without saying a word, "Uncle Liu, you also know that I and Jiang Fenghao have not yet married, so it's not good to discuss this kind of thing with me now, right?" As he spoke, he looked back with a sincere face, "You are the elder of the house, and you have been in charge of the house all these years, I think it is most appropriate for your old man to handle this matter." ”

Love to joke! Not to mention that she is innocent with Jiang Fenghao now, even if she is really married, she is not the kind of material that can preside over the feed, in order not to make a mess of the entire palace in the end, this kind of super brain-dead thing is not necessary to look for her - she hasn't done it at the rich gambling house!

Although He Xiaoqiao refused to take this job, Liu Yidao insisted very much, "This has already been discussed, Xiao Qiao, you don't have to worry that someone will say that you are overstepping, just rest assured and bold to do it." ”

It's not about being bold or not, it's because she doesn't have that interest!

"That's not the case, Uncle Liu, listen to me......"

"I'm sure you can." Liu Yidao interrupted her words with a smile, picked up the teacup and skimmed off the foam with the lid of the cup, and took a sip after blowing it cool, "Learn now, and when you marry Feng Hao's kid, you won't be in a hurry." ”

The Ancestor Emperor Xiansheng and the eldest concubine have already gone immortal, and there has been no hostess in the Changning Mansion for too long, it has always been him, an old man, who has been running around, and now he has finally found a successor, he will not let He Xiaoqiao go no matter what.

It's just not oil and salt!

Seeing that it was hard, He Xiaoqiao had no choice but to grind his teeth, and forced a smile to try to soften, "Uncle Liu......"

"There is still half a month to celebrate the New Year, and time is pressing, so you don't have to struggle anymore." Liu Yidao calmly glanced at the two little hands that were hanging on his arms and shook like coquettishness, and sent a non-negotiable smile towards He Xiaoqiao, completely eliminating all kinds of excuses she wanted to shirk, "You don't have to worry about the gambling house affairs if Liao takes over, as for all aspects of the house, I will slowly teach you, just ask me if you don't understand." ”

The request was rejected again, and He Xiaoqiao's whole body wilted.

…… I don't know if it's too late to break up with Jiang Fenghao now?
