Chapter 16 Hate Iron Doesn't Make Steel
Seeing Song Qian's resolute attitude, Cheng Wenyu took a step back and begged: "Song Niangzi is like this, and Cheng is inconvenient to force it." But after all, it is difficult to walk at night, and Song Niangzi still agreed to ride in the same carriage with Cheng, so as not to bump the little boy, right? ”
At this point, Song Qian's thoughts came down in a moment: "Then it will bother Cheng Gongzi." ”
Changfeng saw that the two hit it off, and felt that Cheng Wenyu had bad intentions towards the heroine. In order to guard Song Qian for Ji Changye, he hurriedly squeezed in front of the two and said to Cheng Wenyu: "What Cheng Gongzi said is very true, if I don't dislike it, can I ride in the carriage with him?" ”
With him here, don't want to hit Song Qian's attention.
Cheng Wenyu naturally couldn't guess Changfeng's thoughts, and readily agreed. Song Qian and Changfeng took the perch and a bag of glutinous rice from the backyard, and picked up the ingots one after the other and got into the carriage.
"Uncle Cheng, what's that?" Yuan Bao asked, pointing to a plaque on a passing shop.
"Baiyaotang is a pharmacy."
Cheng Wenyu liked Yuan Bao very much, let him snuggle in his arms, and patiently lifted the curtain to answer the questions asked by Yuan Bao.
Song Qian only felt that it was inappropriate when he saw this, but he didn't know why.
The carriage was about to drive out of the town, Song Qian suddenly saw a familiar back walking not far away, and after seeing his face clearly, he stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said, "Brother Shi." ”
Shi Lei didn't care about the carriage passing by, he only thought that the person in the carriage was Song Qian.
"Song Niangzi, what are you ......" The words were swallowed back by Shi Lei, thinking that he was nameless and pointless, and rashly asked why Song Qian took this carriage very abruptly.
"This is the carriage of the proprietor of the shop, and the son is kind-hearted, and when he saw that it was getting late, he invited us to ride in the carriage together."
Song Qian explained, and when he thought of something, he turned his head to Cheng Wenyu and said, "Cheng Gongzi, this person is my friend." It's getting late, and there are a lot of wild things on the path, which is dangerous. I wonder if Cheng Gongzi can promise to let my friend also get into the carriage, and you will give him a section when you are tired? ”
Cheng Wenyu chuckled and nodded: "Song Niangzi has a good heart, Cheng can't refuse." If your friends don't dislike it, come up. ”
"That's it, thank you." After that, Song Qian invited Shi Lei to come up.
"Thank you Song Niangzi and Gongzi for your kindness, but I am a rough man, and I am covered in the stench of wild game, if I stain this carriage, I say that I can't afford to pay it back after hunting for a lifetime." Moreover, he didn't have the identity to sit in such a carriage, and when he thought of this, Shi Lei rejected Song Qian's kindness.
"Brother Shi, where are you talking about? This is Cheng Gongzi's kindness, you have the right to sell me face. But if you don't come up, I'll go down myself and ask you to come up. ”
Saying that Song Qian was about to get off the carriage, Shi Lei saw this and hurriedly said: "Then Shi thanked Cheng Gongzi and Song Niangzi for their kindness." So saying, he got into the carriage, and went out with the little man who was driving the carriage, and said that he would not come in at all.
Song Qian couldn't force him anymore.
The carriage stopped outside the thatched hut, Changfeng picked up the sleeping ingots with one hand, and carried the things he brought back with the other hand and stepped into the courtyard first. Shi Lei got out of the carriage at the entrance of the village, thanked them and parted ways with them.
Song Qian got out of the carriage and said to Cheng Wenyu: "Thank you Cheng Gongzi for sending him off, since he has arrived at the door, if Cheng Gongzi does not dislike it, he will stay and have a cup of tea before leaving?" ”
Cheng Wenyu looked at the night sky and politely refused: "Thank you for the kindness of Mrs. Song, Cheng still has this to go back, and I will visit another day." ”
With that, the coachman drove away in his carriage.
The carriage was driving under the moonlight, and Cheng Wenyu in the carriage completely lost the gentle look just now.
"Childe, this lady of the Song family is so ignorant. The mansion you gave away was worth 10,000 taels of gold, and she didn't want it. With a bit of posture, such a head-scratching posture in front of you, and pulling and pulling with a foreign man is not polite, it seems that those rumors in the town are true. You do this to her, you lift her up, give her face. Otherwise, she, a widow, is so unruly that she will be poked in the backbone to live. ”
The coachman said while driving the carriage, his face was indignant at Song Qianxiang's rejection of Cheng Wenyu, but in his heart he thought that the valuable mansion was rejected by others, and he was jealous of it.
Cheng Wenyu didn't say anything when he heard this, and the coachman didn't restrain himself and continued: "Son, you have studied and are rich, how many talented women are devoted to you. But you just fell in love with this rural village woman, and you were humiliated by that village woman. ”
"When is it your turn to point fingers?" Cheng Wenyu finally spoke, and the coldness between his words made the coachman suddenly clear his mind, if he hadn't driven the carriage, he would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"You just have to put yourself in the right position, know what to ask and what not to ask, and you can't talk too much about other things."
There are too many involved, and even Cheng Wenyu is difficult to figure out for a while.
"It's a small one, a small one should be damned, and I hope that the son will not be blamed." Saying that, this little guy slapped himself, Cheng Wenyu had no intention of watching him act like this, and said a little impatiently: "Enough, this kind of loyalty is still left in the work." I must not be able to make a difference in the matter I explain to you, otherwise I will ask you. ”
"Childe, rest assured, the small one will definitely be able to do it without leakage." The little guy hurriedly responded.
Under the miserable white moonlight, Cheng Wenyu's eyes flashed a little gloomy.
Song Qian, who was here, didn't stop long, turned around and entered the house. And Changfeng, who was eavesdropping at the window, heard the movement and hurriedly walked in, not wanting to be frustrated and tripping over.
In this way, Song Qian pushed open the door and saw Changfeng lying on the ground: "Changfeng, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, it's because I think there is something special in this place of Song Niangzi's house, and I want to lie down and have a good life."
Song Qian listened to Changfeng's words and didn't take a stubble, but he thought in his heart that he would keep Yuanbao away from him in the future, otherwise he would become as worried about his IQ.
Song Niangzi did not delay, and washed her hands and cooked.
She first cleaned the well-groomed sea bass and changed the knife, then evenly spread the green onions, ginger and garlic mixed with seasonings on the front and back of the fish, and then placed it aside to marinate for half an hour to ensure the flavor.
During the second period, she took out the large deep dish made by the master craftsman earlier and cleaned it, and let Changfeng do it, and prepared the side dishes to slice for later use.
When the fish is marinated, it is grilled, and since there is no oven, she uses the most primitive method instead.
A fire was set up in the courtyard, and Changfeng kept watch by the side under Song Qian's arrangement to ensure that it would not be baked.
Song Qian, on the other hand, is stir-frying the base to make the sauce, after everything is ready, put the deep dish on the fire, spread the side dishes on the bottom and put the fish on it, and finally pour the sauce on the high heat to boil, and then warm it over low heat.
The grilled fish is ready.
The ingots who were sleeping in the back room were also hooked by the fragrance and woke up, and Song Qian beckoned him to come to dinner.
"Song Niangzi, just your craft. No one dares to call second in this town. Changfeng praised unceremoniously, but suddenly remembered Cheng Wenyu, and suddenly lost his appetite.
In order not to let Song Qian and Yuanbao see the difference, Changfeng hurriedly got up and said, "It's so late, Song Niangzi and Yuanbao should rest early." Mrs. Song, can I take some grilled fish and try it with my grandfather? ”
Today's Changfeng is a little weird, but Song Qian didn't ask much, and handed it to Changfeng after loading the grilled fish: "This grilled fish is greasy, it's better for Ji Gongzi to eat less, don't be greedy and aggravate the cough." I'll stew some more pear soup tomorrow and bring it to him. ”
Seeing that Song Qian was still thinking about his master's cough, he was a little moved and cried bitterly, and hurriedly thanked Ji Changye: "Thank you Song Niangzi for thinking about my father, then I will go first." ”
After the words fell, Changfeng performed light skills and returned to the house all the way.
"Send this heat to the study." Changfeng handed over the grilled fish to the little guy below, and came to the study to see Ji Changye.
"Master, do you know what happened to Song Niangzi today?"
Ji Changye's eyes fell on the pages of the book under the candlelight, and he didn't raise his eyes to look at Changfeng, so he said, "What happened to Song Niangzi, and what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Why doesn't it have anything to do with you? You guys are ......" Changfeng took the words back, and when he saw Ji Changye's indifferent appearance, he felt indignant in his heart.
His wife is going to be robbed, but he is not in a hurry at all!
"You just have to do your part, don't worry about these idle things. If you have nothing else to do, go out, and don't disturb my study. When the words fell, Ji Changye turned the pages unhurriedly.
Changfeng didn't talk anymore, turned his head and walked out of the study with a look of hatred for iron and steel.
Seeing that the little guy brought the hot grilled fish, Changfeng couldn't help but grab it and said, "I don't want to eat it, you go back." ”
Seeing Changfeng's angry face, the little guy didn't dare to say more, so he lowered his head and left here quickly.
Changfeng sulked Ji Changye, turned around and went to his house with the grilled fish.
And since Ji Changye didn't know what was going on outside, he wondered why Song Qian didn't make food today and let Changfeng send it.
I thought that Song Qian was tired and forgotten, but it was like this for several days, and that Changfeng always held back his anger for some reason, and he didn't look right at Ji Changye, as if he was angry with him.
"Have you noticed that the Changfeng guards have been very strange these days, and they don't say anything to the master like they did in the past." A sweeper pulled another and whispered.
"Don't tell me, I saw him sneakily into his house with a food box. I can't tell what is in it, maybe, he has already betrayed his master, and he colluded with other masters. The other guy said with his hands dancing, not wanting to be kicked from behind the next moment.
"Which crumbs kicked me!" The little guy turned around and was about to hit it with a broom, but when he saw the person coming, he suddenly lost his arrogance, and his voice trembled: "Changfeng, why are you here?" ”
Could it be that he listened to what the two of them just said?
It is true that Changfeng has been loyal to Ji Changye for many years, so naturally he can't listen to others say that he betrayed his master. But he can't say the reason why he is like this, Changfeng can only hold this sulking breath in his heart.
"Why are you doing here if you don't work well during the day? Be careful to knock you out! Seeing that Changfeng looked sideways, the two of them didn't dare to stay here, and hurriedly dragged the broom away.
Changfeng looked at Ji Changye's study on the spot, exhaled turbidity heavily, turned around and went to the shop with light skills.
In the past few days, Cheng Wenyu always sent a carriage to send Song Qian and Yuanbao back to the village, and Changfeng felt that he had bad intentions, so he followed him from a distance every time in order not to startle the snake.
But there was nothing unusual for a few days, and Changfeng let go of his doubts. It's just that Cheng Wenyu is interested in Song Qian and does these things to curry favor.
Besides, Song Qian couldn't lose anything, and he could avoid the suffering of the bumpy road at night, so the long wind would no longer follow.
And Song Qian also felt that it was inappropriate earlier, but he couldn't bear the coachman's broken mouth, so he sat down with peace of mind, and didn't think much about it, just felt that this was Cheng Wenyu's kindness.
Business was good on this day, and the things were sold out early. Song Qian was also able to go back earlier with the ingots, and when he didn't see Changfeng's figure or the Cheng family's carriage, he had to go back alone with the ingots.
