Chapter 19: Stupidity
Song Qian said with a solemn expression: "In this way, I feel that something is wrong, I have no grievances with them, and I think it is instigated by others." It's just that she has never offended anyone, even if the Xu family seeks revenge for Aunt Xu, but it is all through nameless country people, first, there is no money to buy her life, and second, there is no courage and no courage.
Changfeng let out a long sigh when he heard this, and couldn't help but regret it.
At the beginning, he only listened to Ji Changye, and was bent on avenging Song Niangzi and Yuanbao, but he never thought that something was wrong. Otherwise, he will be able to leave a living mouth, so that he can ask the ins and outs, and he can also find out the instigator behind the scenes, so that Song Niangzi will not be afraid in the future.
But it's too late to say anything.
Cheng Wenyu, who was on the side, listened to what the two said in his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Qian couldn't help but be moved by Changfeng's approach to stand out for himself and Yuanbao, and felt that it was troublesome to investigate this matter without a clue, so he no longer thought about his life's troubles.
Seeing Changfeng's face full of remorse and self-blame, Song Qian comforted him: "Changfeng, thank you." It's just that this matter is strange, and it will be difficult to investigate it clearly for a while, and besides, I and Yuan Bao are fine, so don't remember to blame yourself in your heart. ”
"What my mother said is, Uncle Changfeng, thank you for helping me and my mother teach thieves a lesson." Yuanbao, who was playing on the side, also ran over to hug Changfeng, and raised his little head to comfort him.
A warm current poured into Changfeng's heart, but he was still unhappy in his heart, blaming himself for all these things. He touched Yuanbao's little head, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let this happen again in the future.
Song Qian didn't want to say anything more, and remembered that Cheng Wenyu was still here, so he showed an apologetic smile: "Let Cheng Gongzi see and laugh." ”
"Where, Song Niangzi is serious. My little servant did mention a few words to me when he came back from the car that day, but at that time I was in a hurry to go out of town to do errands and didn't have to listen carefully. It is also Cheng's negligence, if a few more people are sent to follow, it will not let those bandits run rampant and hurt the lady and the ingots. After that, Cheng Wenyu also showed self-blame.
Song Qian didn't know how to comfort Cheng Wenyu and Changfeng for a while, thinking in his heart why these two big men were so emotional?
In order to divert the topic, Song Qian turned around and went to the backyard, and when he came back, he brought two food boxes in his hands: "Earlier, I steamed glutinous rice and made some soft and glutinous food. If Cheng Gongzi doesn't dislike it, he will take it and taste it. Changfeng, I still want to bother you to give this to your son-in-law, as my little heart, and I can thank Mr. Ji. ”
Song Qian never thought that Ji Changye would send someone to suppress the bandits, although he didn't know what his purpose was, but listening to Changfeng's words, it was mostly for her and Yuanbao. She must not be silent on this, but he must have seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so she made a good dessert, so as to show that she was sincerely grateful.
The two of them each took the food box.
Cheng Wenyu looked back at the sky outside, and then bowed goodbye and said: "Cheng still has something to do today, thank you Song Niangzi for your kindness, so Cheng will be out of company first." ”
"Cheng Gongzi walks slowly all the way, ingot."
Yuanbao was still immersed in comforting Changfeng, and it wasn't until Song Qian reminded him that he realized that Cheng Wenyu was leaving, so he hurriedly chased after Cheng Wenyu and said two steps to Cheng Wenyu's back: "Uncle Cheng, have a safe journey." ”
When Cheng Wenyu heard this, he stopped, turned around and responded: "After a while, Uncle Cheng will take you to see the lanterns, and the ingots will have to wait for Uncle Cheng at that time." Cheng Wenyu's tone was soft, with a little smile, which made people feel comfortable to hear.
Yuan Bao responded with joy, and he had already calculated what style of lantern he should be carrying at that time.
Song Qian only then remembered that a lantern festival would be held in the town in a few days. The implication is not deep, it is said that it is to worship the grandmother of the god of the hearth, and the whole town will be lit up all night, and there are countless food and lantern objects in the street market.
In this way, she can also make more desserts and put them outside the shop. At that time, the whole town would be paraded through the streets, and it would be sold faster on a regular basis.
With this abacus, Song Qian had to prepare the ingredients earlier.
Changfeng didn't stop much, and went to the mansion with a food box.
After seeing Ji Changye, he told Song Qian's suspicions of all kinds, and complained: "Master, you are really confused for a while, if you leave those thieves alive, we can also ask clearly, right?" If you ask clearly, you can catch the behind-the-scenes instructions, hey! ”
Listening to Changfeng sighing heavily, Ji Changye was unmoved, and dropped the chess pieces between his fingers with an indifferent expression: "After following me for so long, you still haven't grown at all." Since this thief intends to harm Song Niangzi, he will definitely not give up once. Therefore, leaving them behind will cause endless troubles, and Song Niangzi always has a heart disease. In the past, I was negligent, but now I have to make up for it to avoid worries. ”
Listening to Ji Changye's words, Changfeng still looked puzzled: "Master, it's right that you are worried that Song Niangzi will live in fear, but this bandit is dead, where can we find the instruct behind the scenes?" "I've reacted to it, why is this master still confused? Is this still the witty and intelligent Ji Changye on weekdays? Changfeng couldn't help but worry that it was Ji Changye's hidden illness that hurt the root.
Ji Changye glanced at Changfeng, helpless, but still patiently explained: "You didn't think of this? When you surrounded and suppressed the bandits, I sent secret guards to protect Song Niangzi and Yuanbao Quanquan, and carefully dealt with their mother and son. Besides, why do you think I sent you to suppress the bandits and alarm the county soldiers? It's nothing more than trying to make a big deal about this matter, so that the behind-the-scenes commanders will know. ”
Changfeng listened carefully, reading Ji Changye's words.
"Such a big move is to make those people think that our purpose has always been to suppress the bandits, and they are not suspicious. And you can't hide it, and now that you spread this matter, you will definitely be able to make those people relax their vigilance, and this horse's feet will naturally be exposed. ”
After thinking about it, Changfeng finally understood Ji Changye's purpose for doing this, and couldn't help but admire his master's strategy.
"Yes, only you can come up with such a foolproof solution. didn't expose half a point, so those thieves were confused and threw themselves into the net. ”
Listening to Changfeng's praise, Ji Changye shook his head helplessly and exhaled turbidity.
What has he learned under his tutelage over the years?
Changfeng was still praising Ji Changye, but he reacted in an instant, and said aggrievedly: "Master Co-author, you refused to inform your subordinates of your plan at first, because you thought your subordinates were stupid, couldn't hide things, and messed up your plan?" ”
Seeing that Ji Changye was silent, Xu agreed with his words, Changfeng became even more aggrieved, and said: "Since the master dislikes the stupidity of his subordinates, his subordinates have no choice but to serve the master." In this way, you will show your subordinates a clear way, so that they can leave here as soon as possible, so as not to leave any thoughts to remember day and night. ”
Is he yelling at himself, threatening himself with leaving?
Ji Changye saw that he was a scoundrel, and he wanted to speak several times, and finally came up with a reason to speak: "You have been with me for many years, and I didn't tell you about the plan this time, because I value you, so I handed this matter to you to do, and I know that you and I have the same mind as the master and servant, even if I don't say it, you can guess my mind seven or eight points, this is a trust in you." ”
Seeing Ji Changye's firm expression, Changfeng felt that he was too confused just now, and he even questioned his master's trust in him, it was too undeserved!
And when he heard Ji Changye say that he was the person he valued, Changfeng's mood suddenly rained and the sky cleared, and it was difficult to hide his joy.
"Master, since the plan has come to this point. What else do you need from your subordinates? The subordinates will definitely be able to do a good job and not lose the trust of the master. "Changfeng struck while the iron was hot and wanted to share it with Ji Changye.
Ji Changye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then ordered: "I see that the Orion of the Shi family is always close to Song Niangzi and Yuanbao, and I think there must be some purpose. In this way, you will keep an eye on him, and if there is any wind and grass, first protect Song Niangzi and Yuanbao, and then inform me. ”
"Yes, please rest assured." Changfeng had long been dissatisfied with Shi Lei, and now that he had Ji Changye's order, he had even more reason to stare at him, so that he could teach him a good lesson when he was thinking crookedly.
Seeing Changfeng leaving, Ji Changye noticed the food box he had placed earlier.
This food box was specially made by Song Qian, and I heard that the dark compartment inside can be used to put ice cubes, so as to ensure the freshness of the food.
So when I opened it, a cool air rushed in.
There were four white dough the size of a fist inside, and Ji Changye didn't know what it was, and he was a little hesitant.
It would be nice if Changfeng was allowed to leave later, and he could be asked to taste what this thing was for himself.
Ji Changye tentatively picked up the white dough, and when he entered it, the dough was firm and glutinous, and it was also wrapped in delicate cream and refreshing fruits, and the taste was extremely rich.
A glimmer of light flashed in Ji Changye's eyes.
This stuff is so delicious!
In a moment, however, the plate was empty. Ji Changye was still a little unsatisfied, and he thought that he would have the opportunity to go to Song Qian's shop that day to eat a full stomach.
At the same time, Song Qian, who was being nagged in the shop, sneezed a few times, and the ingots on the side hurriedly said, "Mother, someone must be reading you." ”
Song Qian smiled: "How can anyone read me." ”
While speaking, Ji Changye's figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and Song Qian stagnated the movements in his hands and scolded himself in his heart.
How could I suddenly think of him?
How can I think of him!
Yuan Bao came over and suddenly asked, "Mother, in a few days, can you take me to see the lanterns with Uncle Cheng?" ”
Seeing Yuan Bao reading Cheng Wenyu, Song Qian couldn't help but be surprised, squatted down and asked, "Yuan Bao, do you like Uncle Cheng very much?" ”
"That's right! Mother, Uncle Cheng is very good, has read, and is good to you and me. If you marry Uncle Cheng, Yuanbao will definitely be very happy. Yuan Bao had his own little abacus in his heart, and Song Qian heard what he meant.
After thinking for a moment, he explained earnestly: "Yuanbao, Uncle Cheng is a friend of my mother's family, and my mother is very grateful for his help to you and me. But marriage and marriage are such a thing, and it is necessary to pay attention to the mutual affection of the two people. Can you understand? ”
Listening to Song Qian's words, Yuan Bao shook his head.
He didn't understand what the truth of mutual affection was, he just felt that Uncle Cheng was kind to him and his mother, and if he married his mother, he would be even better to them, so wasn't it enough?
Song Qian knew that he might not be able to understand this explanation to Yuanbao at this time, so he changed to a direct method: "Yuanbao, my mother also knows that Yuanbao feels sorry for my mother, and I want to find someone who is good to my mother." But my mother's wish now is to see you grow up safely and smoothly, and I don't want to care about the rest. ”
She is from modern times, and she categorically can't accept the so-called marriage in this era by the destiny of heaven, so she wants to marry someone who is really happy with each other.
Yuan Bao nodded ignorantly, probably understanding. My mother can give up my happiness for him, and when I grow up, I must be filial to my mother, protect her, and repay my mother's love.
"Yuanbao is really good, on the day of the Lantern Festival, will my mother make you a tiger lantern?" Song Qian picked up the ingots and walked to the backyard, and the ingots' eyes lit up when they heard it.
"Good!"
