Chapter Twenty-Eight: Know how to feel sorry for people
"Why did you suddenly bring up this matter? Ji Gongzi is kind to me, if I accept this money, it will be really difficult to feel at ease. In this way, it is really a life. After hearing this, Song Qian hurriedly said, originally the shop was found for her by Ji Changye, and he had helped her a lot on weekdays, so he lived here, and Song Qian didn't have the idea of asking for rent.
Ji Changye handed Changfeng a look, Changfeng immediately understood, and responded: "It's not easy for your mother and son, we don't say that we occupy a place here, but we will also trouble you to cook three meals a day, spending everywhere, of course, you have to express your heart." Song Niangzi, don't shirk it. ”
Seeing that you said a word between them, and I said a word, Cheng Wenyu didn't have a chance to interject, and naturally understood that Ji Changye and Changfeng were doing it for themselves, in this case, it would be boring for him to stay any longer. So while the two of them shirked, Cheng Wenyu left silently.
Song Qian looked at Ji Changye, who was speechless, and said with a fixed mind: "Master Ji, I know what you think, but I really can't accept this money." ”
At a glance of her eyes, she found that Cheng Wenyu's figure was gone, she looked around a few times, and she didn't know who she was asking: "Where did Cheng Gongzi go?" Earlier it was still here. "This person came strangely, and he walked strangely.
Changfeng wished that Cheng Wenyu would leave quickly, and waved his hand and said indifferently: "This Cheng Gongzi estimates that there is something urgent to do, because he mentioned that he wanted to leave before you came." We also have to stop people, so as to delay people's urgent affairs, right? What Changfeng said was reasonable, so Song Qian nodded lightly and didn't ask any more. Because she knew that Cheng Wenyu came here this time for Ji Changye and Changfeng, the matter discussed must have nothing to do with her, so she was not in the mood to care.
Seeing Song Qian's resolute attitude, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while under the stalemate, Changfeng looked at Ji Changye, waiting for him to come up with an idea. Ji Changye put down the teacup and shook his head slightly.
This is done to show Cheng Wenyu, since he has left, there is no need to shirk between them. Changfeng quickly understood what he meant, and changed his words: "Song Niangzi, this is close to noon, and everyone is hungry after tossing for a morning." Besides, he had just recovered from this serious illness, and his body was already weak, so Lang Zhong had asked him to make up for it. You also know that my master likes your craftsmanship and doesn't like what others do, so can you bother Song Niangzi to make some food? ”
In the past few days, Changfeng has been busy giving advice to Ji Changye, taking care of the manpower and moving things, and he has not gone to the store to help Song Qian for several days, nor has he tasted the food made by Song Qian, so he has long thought about it. Now that he has moved in openly, he is also greedy to try Song Qian's craftsmanship.
Song Qian saw that Changfeng and Ji Changye no longer mentioned this matter, and it was difficult for him to speak again, so he nodded hurriedly when he heard Changfeng's words: "If you don't say it, I don't remember the time." I'm going to buy some groceries and make some food. Eat some sweets and make a tooth sacrifice first, and I'll come as soon as I go. ”
After saying that, Song Qian turned around to go out to buy vegetables, Ji Changye finally had to speak, and stopped Song Qian when he stepped out of the threshold: "Song Niangzi, stay first." I've been bothering you for the past two days, and the midnight disturbance has already made you tired. It's time to get up early in the morning and make some breakfast with us, and we won't bother you. In this way, Changfeng, you go to the restaurant on the street to buy some dishes. At noon, we will eat like this, and in the evening, we will go to the restaurant to set up a table to express my gratitude to Mrs. Song. ”
In fact, Ji Changye also had selfishness in his heart, he saw that Song Qian had been busy all morning, and he must be exhausted when he was going to buy vegetables and cook on the street at this moment, he felt a little sorry for Song Qian, so he stopped her.
Changfeng didn't react at first, thinking that since Ji Changye likes to eat the dishes made by Song Qian, he has moved in at this moment, he can get close to the water and get the moon first, and it is easy to eat the dishes made by Song Qian, why should he go to the restaurant to buy food? Suddenly, Ji Changye looked at him, his eyes looked at Song Qian slightly, and Changfeng reacted.
My own master is distressed by Song Niangzi! After Changfeng understood Ji Changye's meaning, he couldn't help but feel relieved, because his master finally got his senses and knew that he was distressed.
"Ahh That's right! Song Niangzi, I also bothered you when I moved in last night, causing you to not rest in the middle of the night. I won't bother you this afternoon, I'll go to the restaurant in the market to buy some good food, don't dislike it. What do you and Yuan Bao like to eat? I'm going to buy it. As he spoke, Changfeng saw the ingots secretly probing outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the ingots in.
Yuan Bao and Ji Changye looked at each other at first sight, the indifferent eyes of the two parties were intertwined, and after a moment of stagnation, Yuan Bao retracted his gaze, and also heard Changfeng ask: "Yuanbao, tell Uncle Changfeng what you like to eat?" Uncle Changfeng went to the restaurant to buy it back, and what you wanted, I brought it back. ”
After getting Song Qian's affirmation, Yuan Bao dared to reply: "Uncle Changfeng, you can buy anything, I like to eat it." If so, can you buy me a bunch of sugar gourds? My mother had been making it with me earlier, but she was too busy these days, and she really wanted to eat the ingots, so she could only bother Uncle Changfeng to buy them in the market for the ingots. ”
Song Qian laughed embarrassedly, but did not speak, because what Yuan Bao said was good, he did tell Yuan Bao that he would make him a sugar gourd to eat, but he didn't expect the trivial matter to be delayed.
After hearing this, Changfeng responded with joy, got up and asked Song Qian: "Then Song Niangzi, what do you want to eat?" As for Ji Changye, he didn't need to ask, because he had followed him for many years and knew his eating habits well.
"I can eat anything, you don't have to buy more, just eat enough, otherwise it will be wasted." After listening to Song Qian's instructions, Changfeng said goodbye to a few people and turned to leave.
Song Qian also had to finish the rest of the work in her hand, and after she also left, Yuan Bao and Ji Changye looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into cold silence.
"Yuanbao, you are also old enough to go to the academy. Your mother is busy on weekdays, and she doesn't have the time to go to the school to handle this for you, so after a while, let Changfeng take a look for you, what do you think? Ji Changye's last sentence was a bit like an order from a subordinate.
Yuan Bao was stunned and responded: "This still has to ask my mother, in fact, I don't have to go to the school." On weekdays, my mother taught me to read and read, but some of the words she taught were different from those on the books. ”
Hearing Yuanbao's words, Ji Changye was not surprised. Because he thought that Song Qian lived in the countryside all the year round and had not read any books, it was naturally more difficult to teach calligraphy.
"Really? Can you take a look at it with me? "This ingots are his own flesh and blood, he didn't know what he missed in the early years, and now that he has the opportunity, he must make up for it and do his best.
Yuan Bao nodded, and when he went out and came back, he was holding two books in his arms, one was an ancient book brought by Song Qian's people, and the other was a book that Song Qian taught him to read.
Ji Changye first looked through the ancient books, because the books selected by Song Qian were very suitable for Yuanbao's year and experience, so he hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. But when he opened another notebook, his expression was a little surprised.
Song Qian's font is very beautiful, which is pleasing to the eye. But as Yuan Bao said, many of the fonts written by Song Qian are different from what he has learned, and the strokes of many words are very simple, making it difficult to tell what words are.
"Did your mother ever tell me where she learned this?" Ji Changye couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Bao shook his head after thinking for a moment, and Ji Changye didn't ask any more, but he was strange in his heart. He put down the book and said to Yuanbao: "In the future, if you have free time, you can come to me, and I will teach you to read and write." ”
Yuan Bao was still a little wary of Ji Changye, and did not agree quickly, but just picked up two books and turned around and walked out, leaving a few words: "Thank you, but my mother said that it is useless and I can't accept your kindness." In his opinion, Ji Changye did this just as an excuse to get close to Song Qian. Sure enough, rich men are all bad people!
Ji Changye was not good at forcing ingots, so he didn't insist.
Changfeng went to the best restaurant in town, and spent a lot of money to buy a table of wine and food, and the shopkeeper sent Changfeng and these wine and food back with a smile.
Seeing a table of dishes, Song Qian was a little surprised: "Changfeng, didn't I tell you that you don't have to buy too much, it will be wasted if you can't finish eating." Besides, this table of wine and food must be worth a lot of money, and I haven't done anything, so how can I bear it with peace of mind? ”
Changfeng knew that Song Qian would have concerns, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "What is Song Niangzi talking about?" Does my grandfather seem to be that kind of stingy person? Besides, Song Niangzi, you didn't say what you like to eat, I'm afraid that buying less will not suit your appetite, so I just have more, and I can pick your favorite food by mistake. ”
After speaking, he seemed to think of something, took out two sugar gourds from behind him and handed them to the ingots, who were full of joy after getting the ingots.
"Then I'll take two things and go back to the room with the ingots to eat." After saying that, Song Qianyan swept the wine and food on the table, quickly picked up the two plates and went to the room with the ingots.
Changfeng wanted to catch up and let people stay, but it happened that Ji Changye came in and said, "Since Song Niangzi wants to go to the room to eat, don't make it difficult for others, so you can send a few more plates of dishes." Ji Changye guessed why Song Qian did this, presumably she was also worried about those rumors and wanted to ward off evil spirits. He didn't want to cause trouble to Song Qian, so he persuaded Changfeng not to chase after him.
couldn't guess the thoughts of the two, Changfeng only felt tired, and after sighing in his heart, he obeyed the order and brought the wine and food. When he came back, Ji Changye had already eaten comfortably, and he was busy serving the food and going to the side to eat.
"Changfeng, come and eat together." Ji Changye put down his chopsticks, and when he saw Changfeng squatting on the threshold to eat, he felt strange in his heart, so he opened his mouth to ask people to come and sit down. Changfeng still obeyed Ji Changye's orders, and although he was terrified in his heart, he still came and sat down.
He was terrified at this meal.
Song Qian here had no appetite, his face was full of sorrow and he just looked at Yuan Bao stunned, Yuan Bao frowned slightly after eating a bite of the dish: "Mother, Yuan Bao is not as delicious as you make." "This restaurant still made a gimmick.
After hearing this, Song Qian finally smiled, gently stroked Yuanbao's head, and said, "Wait until the evening, my mother will make some delicious food with you, okay?" Now you can eat a little bit of it. ”
Yuan Bao nodded after hearing this, and in order not to let Song Qian worry about him, he obediently ate a full bowl.
And Ji Changye here also had the same idea as Yuanbao, and felt that the craftsmanship of this restaurant was not good, so he didn't eat much. After Changfeng saw it, he knew that Ji Changye was used to eating Song Qian's dishes, and it was difficult to swallow these, but he couldn't trouble Song Qian anymore, so he took advantage of Song Qian's work and was not in the mood to pay attention to them, so he went out over the wall to buy some snacks for Ji Changye.
"Master, you can eat some to cushion your stomach first. Don't worry, I bought it when Mrs. Song wasn't paying attention. ”
Ji Changye was also a little hungry, so he didn't pick anything anymore.
