Chapter 321: Stealing Their Things
"Zhao Niangzi, you and I are no better than outsiders, you were generous when you were in trouble, I remember these kindnesses in my heart, and I am thinking about how to repay you, but you are so raw now, it makes me a little overwhelmed. You don't have to call me Princess, or just like before, so that we can be closer, right?" Song Qian took Zhao Meiying's hand and patted it to show comfort and closeness.
Zhao Meiying lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and after some hesitation, she finally figured it out and said, "Song Niangzi, you still feel comfortable like this. It was just a gesture before, so don't mention it in the future. After all, there is one more thing to thank you, this baby is old enough to go to school, I went into the town to find someone, but unfortunately we have no power and no power and can't find a place to study, but there is a Jiao's Academy, as soon as I heard the baby talk about your ingots, I accepted him. I don't know how, but thank you. No, the babies have gone to school."
Hearing this, Song Qian sorted out the ins and outs and replied with some embarrassment: "I didn't do anything about this matter, I didn't even know about it, I have to thank the dean of the college, Mr.
Zhao Meiying smiled: "Then let's not talk about it, it's noon, presumably you and the prince haven't eaten yet, right?" This Xu family is going to clean up for a while, why don't you go to my house to eat something first? Today, the head of the house went down to the river to fish, and caught several fish, all of which were fat. I used the method you gave me before to make a braised stew, and you and the prince can taste it." Saying that, she enthusiastically pulled Song Qian to go home.
In order to live up to Zhao Meiying's kindness, Song Qian said to Ji Changye, "Since Zhao Niangzi has spoken, it's also noon, why don't we go eat something?" It's not too late to clean up in the afternoon."
Ji Changye naturally did not refuse Song Qian's answer: "So listen to Song Niangzi."
Then they followed Zhao Meiying to her yard.
And the Xu Si family, who were reluctantly packing up their things, couldn't help but stop and watch after discovering the scene.
"Let's clean up here, but she's going to eat well?" The daughter-in-law of the Xu family threw the basket in her hand on the ground, touched her gurgling stomach and complained dissatisfiedly.
The son at the bottom chimed in, "yes, who knows if they're pretending to be or not? Maybe the old man colluded with them to deceive us together, I just let the blacksmith in the town beat one and it can be fake, this is the territory of the Xu family, and she can let her say that we will leave if we leave? Let's not move and see what she can do with us. Dad, do you think this will work?"
"Okay, shut up and stop for a while, I have a headache when I quarrel, you all want to be angry with me, don't you? One is that her dowry is purchased here, and it is unreasonable to go to the lawsuit, and she has to compensate her again, and she will pay her wife and soldiers. The other is that even if we can't prove that the identity of that person is real, there is no way to prove that he is fake. What should I do if I really offend the prince?" Xu Si impatiently slammed his pipe on the door frame, reprimanding them for being impulsive.
Hearing this, several people who had been in the mood of being a scoundrel were speechless, thinking that they were going back to the small thatched hut again.
At this time, Xu Si's daughter-in-law suddenly thought of something and asked, "Dad, mother. This Song Qian said that she came back to get things, but she didn't say that she wanted to live here, she must live in the town now that she is developed, where does she have the leisure to take care of this broken house? So when the time comes, when she moves her things and leaves, it's not too late for us to come back." In this way, they can continue to live here, and then move out when they hear that they will come back, so that Song Qian and them can't grasp their handles, and they can continue to live here, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
Xu Si listened and took two puffs of cigarette and agreed: "It's still the sixth daughter-in-law who is smart, how can you be like a widow who is all reckless and thinks you can fight against people?" This Song Qian's ability, when she was able to persuade Granny Xu to allow her to give birth to the child in her womb, he had seen it. Especially later, when Xu Wenyan disappeared, Granny Xu took care of her as if she were a girl, and also passed on the property to her, which was really clever.
Otherwise, Xu Si would never have figured out why Song Qian's life would go so smoothly, which is indeed praiseworthy.
After hearing this, the others didn't dare to make a sound, and went to pack up their things in full swing.
So as not to attract Xu Si's anger again, they couldn't resist it at that time.
At this time, Song Qian and Ji Changye followed Zhao Meiying to her home, and really smelled the aroma as soon as they stepped into the door, but Song Qian thought about it and still felt that there was still a taste that was still a little lacking, so he came to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot and added seasonings to it.
This sudden action made Zhao Meiying stunned, and after reacting, she hurriedly walked over and asked, "Song Niangzi, what are you doing here? I've already put all the seasoning and stuff, don't I put too much?" Because she was afraid that she would not be able to do Song Qian's craftsmanship and would spoil good things, Zhao Meiying's movements were cautious and she asked carefully.
Song Qian saw that she looked nervous, and hurriedly explained, "It's a little lacking, but it's almost the same now, or Zhao Niangzi is smart, and these methods will be taught as soon as they are taught."
Zhao Meiying waved her hand embarrassedly and replied, "Where did you say this? It has to be the recipe left by Song Niangzi, and I can make it according to the gourd painting. Then let's stop standing here, go in and sit down, and I'll serve the food."
Because the kitchen is relatively small, it can't help much here, so Song Qiancai didn't stay to help, but went to the front hall that was only a curtain away. Although it is not as spacious and grand as the courtyard in the palace and the town, Zhao Meiying cleaned it up very cleanly, and there is nothing unclean or anything like that, which makes people feel very comfortable.
After waiting for Zhao Meiying to bring the food, Song Qian looked around and asked strangely, "Lady Zhao, why don't you see Brother Liu?" Isn't he coming back to eat at this time?"
"He should be in the field at this time, a few days ago he accidentally twisted his waist, I told him to rest at home for a few more days, lest it be serious again, maybe my words are taken as a deaf ear, I and what he said are not the same thing, don't you have to get along with yourself?" Saying that, Zhao Meiying sighed helplessly, if the person in charge of the family falls, what will she do in the future life of the family?
Song Qian couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart when he heard these words, and suddenly thought of something and said to Zhao Meiying: "If Zhao Niangzi and Brother Liu don't dislike it, let Brother Liu go to the dessert shop in my town, there is no heavy work there, everyone is doing some small things." I won't be so tired that I will hurt Brother Liu's body." She did this because the manpower in the shop was really insufficient, and secondly, she wanted to find a way to help Zhao Meiying, at least this is something she can do and be the master.
Zhao Meiying was obviously a little hesitant when she heard this, and then she thought clearly and refused, saying, "This matter can't bother Song Niangzi, this baby is studying thanks to you, and this matter of being in charge will trouble you, which really makes me feel sorry." After all, I'm a country woman who hasn't read anything, so what should I do to repay you?" The most important thing is that Zhao Meiying is afraid that she owes more and more to Song Qian, so she must stop losses in time to avoid trouble in the future.
And Song Qian did not force himself aggressively after listening to Zhao Meiying's words, but said: "Since this is the case, please ask Mrs. Zhao and Brother Liu to discuss this matter, if you are still interested, you can come to the town to find me at any time, or go directly to the shop." She can trust Zhao Meiying and her family, otherwise she wouldn't have said so.
"So thank you Song Niangzi." Zhao Meiying nodded and agreed, but she still had some scruples in her heart, and planned to really wait for the family to come back and talk about this matter, and see how to go next, so as not to live up to Song Qian's kindness.
Ji Changye looked at the four-walled house, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings, he didn't think of how poor their lives were in the invisible place, and it seemed that he still underestimated the means and extent of those people exploiting the people at the bottom.
After eating by themselves, Song Qian and Ji Changye did not dare to stay directly, but left here directly, after all, staying in someone's house for too long is to warm up people's tongues.
"Looks like they haven't finished packing up yet." Ji Changye stood outside the fence and couldn't help but speak when he looked at the Xu family who were still busy going in and out, and these words naturally fell into the ears of the Xu family
Song Qian frowned slightly, knowing that they had some bad idea in their hearts, so they went directly into the courtyard and asked Xu Si, who was the leader, "
Why hasn't it been cleaned up yet, how big is the place, but a few people, is it so time-consuming and laborious? I'd like to see what it's all about." With that, he went into the fence yard, wanting to investigate it easily today, otherwise he would have pounced on them again and fallen for their tricks. Look at the book
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly became empty, as if they had done something unsightly.
"There's nothing nice about this, it's just ordinary clothes and things, if you want to see it, you can grab it! Don't blame me for calling someone, then we'll see how the prince decides." Xu Si's son said disappreciatively, and he had a little confidence from it, as if he was sure that Song Qian would feel scruples after hearing these words, so he would not come to investigate them and get something.
At this time, Ji Changye spoke, "If this king orders you to take out your baggage and check it, do you still have to disobey the order?"
Ji Changye's tone was cold, and it did have great majesty and deterrence, so that although several people doubted the truth of his identity, they still couldn't help but be afraid, and finally handed over the burden nervously.
And Song Qian just wanted to scare them, and didn't mean to check the baggage, after all, this is also their thing, if he forcibly looks at it, what is the difference between it and those unreasonable robbers?
Thinking like this, Song Qian planned to turn around and let them leave, but she suddenly saw something exposed in one of the baggage, and she stepped forward to take out the thing and found that it was an ingot, at this time she suddenly understood that these people's hands and feet were not clean, and they must have taken more than a little something, so even if he wanted to give Xu Si and her family some face, but they didn't want it, then don't blame yourself for being polite.
So Song Qian directly opened all the baggage, and sure enough, he found a lot of things about himself and ingots.
