Chapter 15: He's a Bad Man
Ji Changye scooped up a spoonful of white fungus lotus seed soup, the entrance is not sweet and greasy, the fragrance of lotus seeds lingers between the teeth, and the unique refreshing and smooth taste of white fungus, which crosses the throat and warms people's whole body.
Listening to Changfeng, this was specially made for him by Song Qian.
It's for him.
Ji Changye hurriedly put away the strangeness in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the ingots in front of him, and the corners of his lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything.
I thought that this was his own flesh and blood, but now I am so separated from him, and I want to have more contacts in the future.
And Yuan Bao naturally didn't know what they were thinking, after eating a sandwich and drinking a cup of mung bean paste milk, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth clean, and then got up and said, "Uncle Changfeng, I'm going back to find my mother." ”
"Yuanbao, there are a lot of interesting things in this house, can you stay a little longer?" Changfeng was busy appeasing Yuanbao, and he finally brought him to Ji Changye's eyes, and the two hadn't spoken a few words, how could they send him back?
Seeing this, Ji Changye wanted Changfeng to follow the ingot's wishes and send him back, otherwise if this ingots decided that they were quite unreasonable, how should they get close in the future?
But before Ji Changye could speak, Yuan Bao looked like an adult, and took two steps back with his hands on his waist to look at the two.
Then he said righteously: "I know your thoughts, you just want to use me to get close to my mother." I tell you not to think, with me, no one will be allowed to bully my mother. Although you are indeed good to your mother, I don't think you are a good match. ”
Changfeng wanted to stop the ingot, for fear that he would provoke Ji Changye by losing his words.
But Ji Changye was not annoyed when he heard this, but asked with a smile: "Oh? Then tell me why I am not compatible with your mother? ”
"Because men are rich and bad people, they obviously have many wives in their families, but they still deceive women with clever words. What's more, you are still so rich, there must be a lot of aunts in the family. Yuan Bao looked serious, and there was disdain and anger for this kind of person in his tone.
Changfeng was surprised and swallowed in place. This ingots are so young, where did they hear these words? Song Niangzi will never teach him this, right?
Hearing Yuanbao's words, Ji Changye became interested and asked curiously, "What should that Yuanbao think of as a good man?" And what? ”
Hearing this, Yuan Bao immediately puffed up his chest, and said in a serious tone: "Of course, he is a scholar who is rich in learning and has five cars, and is full of wealth, or an honest person who is honest and thrifty." My mother said that if you are poor, you are afraid of bad intentions. He also taught me to either read and have knowledge, understand the truth of right and wrong in the world, so as to revitalize the country and benefit the people. Either they are honest and pure-minded, although they do not win glory for the country, they do not do anything harmful to others. Those who walk are sitting upright, and they will not be poked in the backbone in the future. ”
Changfeng couldn't help but admire Song Qian when he heard this, although he was a generation of women and was in a rural village, he had never read a book, but he knew such a big truth, and he taught an upright talent.
Ji Changye was also a little surprised that Song Qian could say such things, but he thought that since he met her, she was different from others, and it seemed that he still didn't know him.
And he couldn't refute Yuanbao's words, and he felt that it was really boring for him to argue with the child, so he said: "I still have to deal with some things, Changfeng, you take Yuanbao to play in the house for a while, if he likes anything, just take it, don't ask me." Later, you will definitely send him back safely, and don't worry Song Niangzi. ”
Changfeng couldn't help laughing when he saw that his smart and clever master was deflated in front of a few children, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Ji Changye, so he could only endure his words, and then left the study with the ingots.
When it was in the courtyard far away from the study, Changfeng dared to laugh out loud. Yuan Bao stood on the ground and came back to his senses, and when he saw Changfeng looking like this, he was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Uncle Changfeng, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Yuanbao, you and your mother are the only ones who have made my master deflated, why don't you say it's funny?"
Yuan Bao pursed his lips and denied: "It's not funny, Uncle Changfeng, when will you send me back?" My mother also said that she would make grilled fish for me. ”
"Yuanbao, this grilled fish takes a long time. Besides, your mother knows that you will be relieved to follow me, so it doesn't hurt for us to stay here a little longer. In this way, Uncle Changfeng will take you to the backyard to watch the birds? ”
Yuan Bao heard that there were birds to see and hesitated to agree, and Changfeng took him to the backyard.
After all, this ingots are a child's playful nature, and after a while, he left behind the matter of going back to find Song Qian.
It was getting late, and Changfeng was about to close the door and return to the village with Song Qian, so he took the ingots back in a carriage.
On the road, Changfeng was still thinking about what Yuan Bao said in front of Ji Changye, so he asked: "Yuan Bao, do you really think those scholars and honest people are good men?" ”
"That's nature."
"Yuanbao, this good man is not something that can be weighed by money and status. You see, some scholars will be sanctimonious hypocrites, and honest people are also pretending, and they may not know what bad things are behind their backs. And some rich and noble families will also be kind-hearted, help the needy, and be single-minded to their wives. In this way, can you still be sure that a scholar and an honest person is a good man, and a rich person is a bad man? ”
Yuanbao looked worried, Changfeng thought that his words moved Yuanbao, and he didn't want Yuanbao to still look serious: "Determined." ”
It's still in vain, Changfeng wants to cry without tears.
On the other side, Song Qian went to the street to buy a sea bass and came back, and asked the boss to clean it up for him. Just wait for Changfeng and Yuanbao to come back, so they can go back to the village together to make grilled fish.
Song Qian was taking care of the backyard when he suddenly heard a voice from the front hall: "Is there anyone?" ”
"I'm sorry, we're closed." Song Qian walked from the backyard and was shocked when he saw the person who came, this person turned out to be the owner of this shop, Cheng Wenyu Cheng Gongzi.
Hearing Song Qian's words, Cheng Wenyu said: "Cheng doesn't know, I'm bothering Song Niangzi, then Cheng will come back tomorrow." ”
Song Qian hurriedly stopped the person: "Cheng Gongzi stays, I'm not in a hurry to close the door." You've been in the dust along the way, since you're here, let's have a cup of tea and go. It just so happens that I made some new herbal tea, and you can taste it for me. ”
Before Cheng Wenyu could speak, Song Qian turned around and went to the backyard. In this way, Cheng Wenyu couldn't refuse the good intentions, and when he sat down, he saw Song Qian bringing a tea cup.
This herbal tea is cool and sweet in the mouth, without obscurity, and there is a faint fruity aroma of fresh fruit, which really relieves the heat.
"Song Niangzi's cooking skills are exquisite, and this tea is also different from others, it is very delicious, it seems that Cheng Mou's mouth is not shallow today." Cheng Wenyu's demeanor is gentle and elegant, and her words are not impatient, which makes people feel very comfortable to listen to.
"Thank you Cheng Gongzi for your praise, if you like to drink, you will come often. I don't know what happened to Cheng Gongzi today? "This Song Qian and Cheng Wenyu are not familiar with each other, but they met a few times when they handed over the shop, and when they opened again, they invited someone to come over for a glass of wine according to the etiquette, so Song Qian couldn't guess what else could happen between them.
"There was nothing important, Cheng was passing by here on an errand, so he wanted to come and see. It was Cheng who was abrupt, he didn't tell him about the visit, and he also bothered Song Niangzi," Cheng Wenyu said bluntly, and there was still a little apology in his tone.
"Don't worry, this owner can come because he can afford me, and it's too late for me to be busy greeting, how can I feel bothered? Cheng Gongzi may not be polite. Song Qian hurriedly answered.
Changfeng and Yuanbao took the carriage to the outside of the shop, endured the pain of cutting meat, Changfeng took out a few copper plates from the purse and gave them to the coachman, and then got off the carriage with Yuanbao.
His master only told him to keep the young master safe, but he never thought of who would protect his purse. When he goes back, he must clarify the matter with his master, so that he can see that he has done a good job in protecting the young master, and he will not be able to give him the money for the carriage that comes and goes.
Changfeng was about to go in with the ingots, but he didn't want to see a man with Song Qian, and the two seemed to be talking happily.
"Who is this man? Why does it feel familiar? Changfeng thought back to the identity of this person, and only felt strange. I thought it was familiar, but I couldn't think of where I had seen it.
Or Yuanbao has a good memory, and soon remembered it and told Changfeng: "This person is the owner of this shop, Cheng Gongzi." I've been here a few times on weekdays, but my mother and mother are busy in the backyard, so I have a few words with Cheng Gongzi. I like him a lot, and I think so do my mother. ”
"Where is this man like my master? What's wrong with him? Do you still like him so much? When Changfeng heard Yuanbao's words, he immediately complained for his master, looking left and right, he didn't see anything comparable to Ji Changye in this person.
Yuan Bao raised his little hand and began to fold his hands to count Cheng Wenyu's advantages: "Cheng Gongzi is a scholar, full of wealth, kind-hearted, upright, and handsome, not impatient when talking to others, very patient. ”
Without waiting for Changfeng to speak, he continued: "Although my mother has no husband and is still carrying a half-grown child like me, Cheng Gongzi also has Mrs. Ren's unfortunate death, which has damaged the reputation of the family. What's more, my mother's cooking skills are exquisite, and her appearance is as handsome as a hibiscus out of the water. So no matter what, marrying his mother is not a loss for Cheng Gongzi. ”
Changfeng also felt that what Yuan Bao said was reasonable, Cheng Wenyu did not hurt, and his identity was worthy of Song Niangzi. If Cheng Wenyu is really interested in Song Qian, and Yuanbao likes him, then his own master can be said to be dangerous.
But as Ji Changye's right-hand man, he categorically couldn't watch his wife being abducted by others, and he couldn't let his little young master break up the two. So he stepped into the shop with the ingots and interrupted the two.
"Song Niangzi, I brought the ingots back."
When Cheng Wenyu heard the sound and got up and was about to salute Changfeng, he saw that the other party looked at him with something wrong, as if he was wary of something, and felt that his back was covered with cold sweat.
The ingots were put down, and Song Qian also found that something was wrong with Changfeng, and hurriedly said: "Cheng Gongzi, this is Changfeng, it is Ji Gongzi's subordinate, I think you should have seen it." ”
After all, Changfeng is Ji Changye's henchman, and this shop was given to her through Ji Changye's hands, and they must have seen it.
"I've seen it, I wonder if your son-in-law is good to come in?"
"Okay, I'm very tired, I'm worried about Cheng Gongzi."
Before Cheng Wenyu could speak, Changfeng said respectfully to Song Qian as if he were not a person: "Song Niangzi, it's getting late, and it's hard to walk at night, I'll send you back." ”
Song Qian was about to respond, but Cheng Wenyu on the side suddenly said: "Song Niangzi, if you don't dislike it, I'll prepare a carriage to send you back." What the Changfeng guards said is extremely true, this night road is difficult. Thinking about it, Cheng wanted to live in a house in the city with your mother and son, so as not to run between the two places, and prevent danger and no waste of time, but it was a pity that Song Niangzi rejected him. If Song Niangzi doesn't dislike it, Cheng will send this house away today, will Song Niangzi accept it? ”
Although I don't know why Cheng Wenyu takes such care of herself, Song Qian will not take advantage of others in vain, so she politely refused: "I accepted Cheng Gongzi's kindness unreasonably, and now there is no inconvenience, don't worry about Cheng Gongzi." ”
