Chapter 151 Begging for Wages
Although she doesn't seem to be very reliable and has a lot of cowardice, in fact, she has already established an independent personality, she wants to do it in her own way, and she doesn't want him to intervene between her and Mei Ruoling by forceful means.
Along the way, it is impossible to say that he is not angry and not to blame Yu Wensheng.
She thought about a lot of things, such as scolding him and scolding him angrily, and then she thought about it, she didn't have the courage to do it, so she suppressed her emotions and planned to move her with affection and reason, and asked him to let Mei Ruoling go, don't embarrass her.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as Mei Ruoling saw Yu Wensheng, her attitude was directly different from the previous time when she swept the tomb.
Mei Ruoling already had a royal sister and a bad temper face, but at this moment she was not cold, and she forced out a smile.
"General, the medicine has been prepared, when will you give it to the general's wife, and see the effect first?"
Zheng Quqi stood behind her, and his indignant expression was shattered like this.
Yu Wensheng's gaze looked like a kraken over Mei Ruoling, and caught a glimpse of "Ah Qing" following her, her apricot eyes were round and round, like a frightened wild cat...... The corners of his thin red mouth curled, and a smile slowly unfolded.
"Now then."
Mei Ruoling followed his line of sight, looked at the people who followed behind, and turned back: "Now? β
She was surprised, then tightened her brow and told him.
"You may not know how to eat medicine, but you must drink this boiled decoction hot, and this repeated hot cooking will reduce the effect of the medicine...... Unless your wife is in the camp, she will serve it when it is cooked......"
Yu Wensheng was straightforward: "Yes, right now." β
Mei Ruoling was interrupted, her face was a little not good, but the meaning of her words was reached anyway, since he understood and insisted on sticking to his original intention, then she didn't care.
"Okay, I'll go pick up the medicine right away, then the thing you said before ......"
Yu Wensheng retracted his gaze, and the eyes that fell on Mei Ruoling, if he ignored his compassionate smile that he was accustomed to confusing people, he would be like a cold-blooded snake: "I said, you have cured my wife, and I will grant you your wish." β
Seeing that he was happy, Mei Ruoling was also happy: "Okay! β
The development of things was quite unexpected by Zheng Quqi, there was no tension between the two of them as she thought, and there was no smoke and fire...... What the hell are they doing?
It seems that things may not be the same as she thinks.
It's over, the courage and rigidity that have just been accumulated, and the anger and accusation in the belly, are a little resting at this time.
β¦β¦ How can he speak for a while, so that he can be arrogant and pay for it quickly?
After Yu Wensheng sent Mei Ruoling away, the two were left alone.
Yu Wensheng took off the Shura mask on his face that represented General Ye Guo, his hair was tied up and crowned, and his jade face showed her true face.
He asked with a smile: "So, what is the purpose of Qu Qi coming to me?" β
Zheng Quqi was originally the same as the money owed by every migrant worker looking for a contractor, and he was bold and courageous.
If things go the way she had envisionedβ
"Yu Wensheng, why did you threaten Aunt Ling and let her come to regulate my body? I know you're doing it for my good, but I don't need this kind of good, you don't know, your existence has already suffocated me, and if you interfere in my affairs again, it will only make me more uncomfortable. β
When she opened her mouth, it was a sad look of extreme pain.
Yu Wensheng will definitely say: "I did this for your own good." β
She shouted with a look of ignorance: "No need, I just need you to leave my business alone in the future, I can handle it myself." β
She directly possessed the protagonist of Qiong Yao's drama, and she had to let him be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.
Yu Wensheng was angry: "Okay, then I won't care about you from now on." β
She was secretly happy in her heart, but she said awe-inspiringly: "It's better to do this, since we have drawn a clear line, how can you calculate the salary you owe me?" β
"I'm so disappointed in you, I didn't expect you to be a woman who loves money so much, if you want money, give it to you, get out!"
"Hmph, get out, don't think I'll get back in the future."
ββAt this point, Zheng Quqi has been laughing happily by the beautiful imagination.
However, in fact, she didn't have a chance to carry out her preemptive strike at all, and he didn't give her a chance.
He also took off his mask in front of her, looking at this beautiful face like a spring flower, she remembered her former husband who was weak and couldn't take care of herself, and she couldn't open her mouth for a while.
"That...... Let me ask, what have you been up to lately? β
As soon as the words came out, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth and ask you to beg for money, but you were close to this greeting.
Just get up, Zheng Quqi!
Yu Wensheng's eyes were very quiet, and the light gold light was cut into a diamond shape, reflecting the light curtains of different colors: "Qu Qi, are you concerned about me?" β
Coughing, she took a deep breath, intending to regain her strength: "I ......"
As soon as a word came out, her eyes widened, and all the words froze in her throat.
Yu Wensheng didn't know when, he had approached her, he bent down, approached the tip of her nose, pursed his lips and smiled, he really could afford Bai Meisheng: "I thought that you would no longer care about anything about me." β
Is this fun?
Zheng Quqi took a step back, wanting to retreat from this kind of distance that was not very friendly to the heart, but he never thought that when she took a step back, he took a step forward, always entwining the breath of the two of them, refusing to let her go.
Zheng Quqi: "......"
I just want to collect a debt, but you want to take my life?
"IβI have something to say, can you get out of the way first?" She held her breath so hard that her face turned red.
Yu Wensheng laughed happily when he saw that she was so amused, he straightened up and stared at her: "This face...... After looking at it for a long time, it is also pleasing to the eye, so what does Qu Qi want to say to me? β
It turned out that he was deliberately playing tricks on her.
Hello a fart, just say it and it's over.
"It's the money you told me before...... As for what you said to the Casting Division to give me a monthly increase, although I don't work on the Guiqi Ridge now, but the fortification was built by me, and only the finishing part is left, you can see when it is convenient for me to settle it, I am a little short of money......"
She lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito.
"That's it." Yu Wensheng seemed to think about it.
Zheng Quqi immediately raised his head, his eyes full of expectation: "Yes, do you remember?" β
"Well, I remember." Yu Wensheng had a good attitude and did not have any unhappy look at all.
Zheng Quqi stretched out his little hand and spread it out.
Okay, give it, I'll continue.
Yu Wensheng smiled again, and couldn't hold back: "Then how much do you want?" β
Now I asked Zheng Quqi, the first time I heard that the contractor asked the workers to pay the price: "How much?" Uh, you look at it. β
At the beginning, she didn't negotiate the specific price, and she didn't understand the current price, so she could only let him slaughter it.
"How can this be done, if you give less, you will have an opinion, but if you give too much, won't it disturb the price?" Yu Wensheng smiled at her.
"Then I'll think about it." She snapped her fingers and counted.
The price of iron ore is not low, and there is a lot of carbon ...... Plus, she had to hire a blacksmith......
"Or, a silver ingot?" She opened her mouth.
"A silver ingot?"
He repeated her words and asked a rhetorical question, which immediately made Zheng Quqi think that he thought he wanted too much from her, so he immediately changed his words.
"If it's too much, then ......"
Yu Wensheng smiled and said, "No problem, it's just that I don't have a good appetite lately, can you stay and cook a meal for me?" β
Before Zheng Quqi could be happy, he heard that there was a condition behind his salary.
Cooking rice? Why did he suddenly have such a need?
She scratched her head.
It's not that hard.
Besides, people are so generous, and they give her such a high salary, it is worth it to be a cook.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything goes."
What's the difference between this and someone who says "whatever"?
"Then I'll borrow a ...... room."
"I have a private dining room, I will ask someone to take you there, you can tell him what you want, and someone will prepare it for you."
β¦β¦ There are people in private dining rooms, and no one can get what they want to eat? He pointed out that she would make a table full of Han people?
Weirdo one.
ββ
It took almost half an hour for Zheng Quqi to prepare a plate of cold wild vegetables and pig's tongue, eggs and scallion pancakes, and steamed a pot of wheat bread and white porridge.
The porridge was ready-made, others boiled it, and she did some processing.
The wheat bread is also kneaded by others, and she makes the follow-up part, so that she can come out of these foods so quickly.
When she brought the tray in, Yu Wensheng was flipping through the books on the desk, and a bowl of black and red soup porridge with the smell of Chinese medicine was placed in his hand.
This medicine can't be the medicinal diet prepared by Aunt Ling, right?
What's in it here? The feeling of a whole dark cuisine.
"Got it?" He looked up.
Zheng Quqi's eyes did not leave the bowl of medicinal food, and said casually: "Yes, you can eat it while it's hot." β
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't you like the scallion cakes I had before? This time I'm going to spread the cake a little thinner, and you can roll it up and eat it with coleslaw for a while, and if you want something lighter, then drink the white chestnut porridge and wheat buns. β
"Wheat bread?"
"This is after I steamed and roasted it with a dry pan, you eat, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and I also coated with a layer of honey."
The conversation between the two is finally no longer as unfamiliar and embarrassing as before, chatting about some daily life trivialities, and the answers are fluent.
To say, Zheng Quqi's cooking skills are really average, and she is good at only those few things, but she has eaten a lot of things and has a lot of ideas, and she is better than being creative in cooking, and it is quite good to eat once in a while.
"Okay."
Yu Wensheng had no opinion, picked up a small wheat bun, tasted it, it was indeed crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the combination of wheat aroma and honey doubled its aroma.
"And porridge, you can taste it."
Everything seems to have returned to the Sang house, every time "Liu Fengmian" has a bad appetite and doesn't eat the food cooked by Brother Sang, she will cook something for him when she has time, although sometimes the cooking is unsatisfactory, but he will eat some with a good face.
She was tired from cooking, and when she saw him eating, she squatted on the side of the table, introducing him to increase his appetite while urging him to use more.
Yu Wensheng glimpsed that her expression was finally much more relaxed, and the corners of her mouth pursed a natural smile, so she withdrew her gaze and asked, "Why are the porridge and vegetables you cook different from others?" β
Seeing that he had eaten it, Zheng Quqi grinned with a sense of accomplishment: "Is it delicious?" Of course, it's because I put the secret. β
Yu Wensheng took a bite of the egg onion cake: "Very good, I like it." β
Zheng Quqi saw him praising her so seriously, and his smug expression suddenly subsided a little.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I guess your taste should be more southern, don't like spicy and sweet, so I put a little sweetness in everything."
Yu Wensheng didn't expect that the secret in her mouth was like this, and he said: "My sugar bag is already empty." β
He remembered that she had said before that she would buy him the candy when it was finished.
Obviously, Zheng Quqi also remembers.
But she said it to "Liu Fengmian", not Yu Wensheng.
She snorted and said, "You are a general, if you want to eat, you can ask someone else to buy it." β
Yu Wensheng stopped moving, he seemed to smile and said: "I remember that I handed over all my monthly stipends to you, what do you want me to ask others to buy?" β
Zheng Quqi was dumbfounded, yes, he paid her money, although she saved it, it didn't use him.
"I've been quite busy lately, or I'll buy it for you when I'm free someday."
Such a prevarication made Yu Wensheng only respond coldly, "Hmm." β
He glanced at the medicinal food next to him: "It's almost cold, let's drink it." β
Really.
Zheng Quqi stepped forward and picked up the bowl, but he couldn't hold back after all: "You and Aunt Ling, what's the matter with you?" β
"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, she said that it was Mu Ke's wife in the end, Mu Ke saved me once, I won't embarrass Mei Ruoling."
As soon as he said that, she was speechless.
He has such a subtle insight into people's hearts that he can make no excuse for anyone to blame him if he wants to.
She lowered her head, thinking about something, and took a sip: "Hiss-"
Damn, it's so bitter!
"It's medicine, not soup." He reminded.
"I know."
She chewed and swallowed it in her belly, and her tongue was tingling.
Seeing that she was so well-behaved, Yu Wensheng made an exception and explained more: "Her affairs can wait, but the dark wounds on your body can't wait, and if you drag it for a day, it will be heavy for a day, so I specially invited her to come over, these few days are a critical period, and I will let Runtu send you the boiled medicinal food every day." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. β
"You have never had such a relationship with me before, after learning that I am Yu Wensheng, do you regret marrying me?"
Yu Wensheng wanted to ask this sentence, but in the end he swallowed it back, why bother to ask knowingly.
His gaze fell on the cold air, and he whispered slowly, "Runtu will give you the silver, and you can go back." β
Zheng Quqi was caught off guard: "......"
Put down the dishes and chopsticks and pick people, you ruthless bird.
Although the process is different, the result is back to the original track she envisioned?
Of course, Zheng Quqi was leaving, but her eyes lingered on his face for a while, and she suddenly asked, "Yu Wensheng, are you uncomfortable?" β
Yu Wensheng paused and met her inquiring gaze.
"Why do you ask?"
