Chapter 394: Building a Snowman and Roasting Starlings (Second Update, Ask for Subscription!)
Since he became seriously ill, he rarely asked about family affairs anymore, and he became a speaker of the public loser, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he was already a "quasi" head of the family.
It may be that with such confidence, the public has reined in many aspects, and his niece is responsible for the porridge shop, relief to the homeless and other affairs, he really didn't go to the pole again, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is like a snake that has temporarily entered a hibernation period, and they have put away their edges.
Gong Yiren has always refused to allow Gong Yinxue to visit the patient, but he sent someone to greet Qin Ke a few times, mostly talking about common things, or asking him about his past.
Inevitably, I have to mention the famine that swept the Mo family back then, and Gong Yiren was also embarrassed when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a little more pity in his eyes.
It was also at this time that Gong Yiren casually mentioned that Fluttershy had the same miserable background as him, and as he spoke, the topic changed direction, and even asked Qin Ke if he wanted to take Fluttershy in the room and be a maid or something......
In the big family, this kind of thing is commonplace.
After all, the family has a big business, and sometimes a wife may not be able to manage it, and it is even more difficult to tie up the heart of her husband. In this case, I simply stuffed a few more intimate maids in the past, all of them were their own people, helping each other, and saving their husbands from running outside to get flowers and grass.
Qin Ke naturally changed his face immediately when he heard this, his expression was panicked, he quickly refused, and skimmed it cleanly, as if he was really single-minded about Yinxue.
Every time I think about it now, I feel a palpitation.
In fact, since the second night of the candle night, Qin Ke moved the cover to the couch, anyway, he got up early, and it was not yet dawn to clean up, and he didn't let the people see anything abnormal.
Strangely, since Qin Ke rejected Gong Yiren's offer, Fluttershy hasn't stayed outside the door at night......
"Uncle?" Fluttershy looked at Qin Ke's strange expression and slightly distracted eyes, feeling a little strange.
"Ahh It's nothing. Qin Ke woke up and waved his hand awkwardly.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Fluttershy about it, and he didn't bother to care if Fluttershy had received any news from the public about it. All he wanted was the compass of the Five Elements Sinan, and then he would leave Jinzhou and continue on the long journey to find Master and Divine Revelation.
That's right, after going through so many things, his purpose is no longer just to find the traces of the master, and he has also inexplicably become interested in the matter of divine revelation.
With that in mind, he hands the handkerchief to Fluttershy, turns around and walks out into the courtyard.
As soon as Qin Ke left, the two sisters and brothers of Yinxue came back, and when they saw the empty yard, Yinyu looked up at her sister with complicated eyes, and it took a long time to say: "My brother-in-law is not here, I'm afraid there is no hope for roast chicken, right?"
"Fluttershy, where's Uncle?" asks Yinxue as she sees Fluttershy, who is crouching in the corner and pinching the snowball.
"Uncle...... I went out just now, and I didn't say where I was going. Fluttershy patted her hands and put them in the pockets of her padded clothes, and when she saw the faint look of loss on her face, she smiled, "Miss, I remember that last year you built a big snowman in the yard, which was only melted in March, but it would have made us all envious, otherwise...... Shall we pile another one?"
"The snow isn't too heavy, so it's not easy to pile up. Gong Yinxue raised his eyes and looked at the yard, and the snow in some places had been cleared.
"The snow in the backyard hasn't moved at all, and it's on the roof, so it's nice to have someone find a ladder and shovel it all down. Fluttershy covered her mouth and smiled secretly, "If Miss likes it, would it be nice to build a snowman like my aunt this year?"
She glared at Fluttershy with a complaining look, but the expression on her face was a little more expectant.
"Bad girl, beware of biting your tongue...... Do you think you can just pile up a person's appearance? It's not ice sculpture, speaking of which...... I don't have ice carving skills either. ”
"Miss, I didn't let you do exactly the same, you have that heart, and it's like that!" Fluttershy grimaced at Yinxue and got up and ran out of the yard, shouting happily as she ran, "I'm going to call someone to shovel the snow." ”
Qin Ke walked under the corridor of the nine bends and eighteen bends of the public loser, intending to find Gao Yishui, but now that he wanted to find him, he no longer had to go to the Laoshizi Inn in a secretive way.
Because Gao Yishui, Abu, and Cai Yan live in the guest room of the public loser in a dignified manner at the moment, not to mention the three meals a day, good wine and meat, the public loser even asked someone to get him a starling, and now he takes this starling with him when he has nothing to do, like a rich man in his eighties, shaking his head and wandering around the back mountain.
This is naturally due to the fact that after the public prosecutor was imprisoned, the status of the public prosecutor rose.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gong Yiren's body is getting worse day by day, if it weren't for Doctor Lu helping him hang his life again and again, I am afraid that he would have already become a tablet and meet those ancestors in the ancestral hall.
As for the public loss of Yinxue, she is a junior, not to mention that the qualifications are too far behind, even if someone is really willing to support him, how can she be able to fight against the public loser?
Of course, Qin Ke, as the husband of Yinxue, is really a little strange at this moment to find the "guest secretary" who is hospitality.
However, Gao Yishui is worthy of being a ghost, just a few days ago, he suggested to the public: "This Qin Ke has good strength, but he has no background, no help, and he has to be bound by the identity of a son-in-law all his life...... Now Mr. Gongyi is only half a step away from the position of the head of the family, if Qin Ke is encircled, Gongyi Yinxue is a married daughter's family, can he come up with any tricks?"
Gong Yi was still thinking about how to deal with Qin Ke and Yin Xue, but when he heard Gao Yishui's "far-reaching" plan, of course he was overjoyed, and immediately arranged for someone to quietly send a message to Qin Ke, Gao Yishui also patted his chest and said that he came to be a lobbyist, and it was foolproof.
And Qin Ke naturally got on the line with Gao Yishui very "obediently", so he also became a person who studied the public side "behind his back".
Even the public loss research specially arranged someone to cover Qin Ke's whereabouts, so as not to spread the meeting between him and Gao Yishui to the ears of the public loss Yinxue......
I really don't know what kind of expression he will have when he knows all this in the future. Qin Ke couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Gong Zhi, and then slowly pushed the door open.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
As soon as the door opened, Qin Ke heard a few crisp coughs, followed by billowing smoke and dust rushing towards him like a black cloud.
Qin Ke was startled at first, and then after careful observation, he was sure that there was no fire in the house, but a simple barbecue grill with a few birds on the string, and someone was carefully rotating and rolling over them.
"What kind of play are you playing again?Bake and eat behind closed doors?" Qin Ke crossed his waist and shook his head with a wry smile.
Cai Yan sat on the chair, his movements were not very skillful, but he was also decent, but the charcoal didn't seem to be very well chosen, so the smoke was a little bigger.
"Ah Ke?" Cai Yan turned his head to look at it, his smile was sly, "Come on, come on, it's almost baked, let's eat together." ”
Qin Ke smiled bitterly, slowly walked to Cai Yan's side, moved a chair and sat down, and said, "I usually cook roast chicken in the kitchen or in the yard, you are good, you will light a fire in the house, and you are not afraid to set the house on fire." ”
"What are you afraid of, anyway, the public loser has a big business, and burning a few houses is just a drizzle. Cai Yan shrugged his shoulders, a seemingly understated sentence, but it almost made Qin Ke choke to death without being able to get up in one breath.
And what Cai Yan said next made Qin Ke a little overwhelmed, only to see her shrink her head, and said cautiously: "What if I light a fire outside and be known by Gao Yishui's guy?" If he knew that I roasted his starling, he would definitely ...... with me."
Qin Ke sat like a fool and couldn't make a sound.
The starlings of Gao Yishui? and so on...... He even let the starling learn the phrase "Mr. Gao Shan is the best in the world".
Although this kind of self-touting behavior made Qin Ke feel a little disgusting, he never thought of turning others into a ball of barbecue on the fire.
Cai Yan snorted and said: "This guy, one of the big nights is called 'Mr. Gao Shan is the first in the world', so disgusting that I haven't slept all night, today I finally seized the opportunity, this girl will not be surnamed Cai if she doesn't roast it!"
Probably because of the "big revenge", Cai Yan giggled, rummaging around the roasted starlings while humming a strange song in an ominous voice.
Qin Ke is familiar with it, it is all a ballad sung by some children of the Tang Kingdom, what "Give me two money, the uncle who sells sugar gourds laughs so sweetly", or "Kites and kites fly around, fly around and fall on my father's head, and smash out a big bag, bag ......".
If Cai Yong, who was far away in the Tang Kingdom, heard this, he was afraid that he would have to faint with anger.
However, whether the reason for this fainting is "Daddy's head smashed out of his bag" or his beloved daughter's more than ten years of elegant upbringing was in vain, Qin Ke is not easy to judge.
At this time, his ears moved slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head away.
"It's almost baked, sprinkle some salt and spices, and it's fragrant. Cai Yan continued to fiddle with the barbecue on the fire, staring intently.
"Chirp!"
With a deafening cry from far and near, a figure in a pale cyan robe rushed straight to the fire, looking at the barbecue like a dead relative, and cried, "Xiao Jiu! What's wrong with you, Xiao Jiu! You don't want to die, Xiao Jiu! I have been rough for half my life, and I finally got married to you! How can you bear to leave me!"
Qin Ke stood on the side, his face was pale, and he was also frightened, and he didn't care to hear Gao Yishui's cry clearly, but he kept regretting in his mind why he forgot to close the door just now.
But soon, I felt that I couldn't go, after all, this starling was also Gao Yishui's beloved thing, and he didn't dissuade Cai Yan, so he sat with her and waited for the starling to be roasted......
Cai Yan looked very calm, and snorted: "What is it called, it's noisy, don't come with me, it's a big deal to split your legs in a while." ”
"Cai Yan......" Qin Ke frowned slightly, wanting to say something.
"What's the matter!" Gao Yishui cried: "This is the one I chose after a thousand choices, and you just roasted me like this when I can speak!"
Cai Yan covered his ears and glared: "You are endless! No matter how noisy you are, I won't even give you your legs!"
"Bastard!" Gao Yishui stepped forward with an angry face and raised his fist.
Qin Ke's heart tightened, his qi and blood were already surging, and he was ready to stop him.
However, to his surprise, Gao Yishui raised his fist, but not to beat Cai Yan.
The moment he approached Cai Yan, his fist was already open, Gao Yishui's fingers stretched out, and he made a knife on the starling's body with his hand: "No matter what, you have to give me half of it!
"Think beautiful!" Cai Yan kicked him.
Qin Ke looked at the scene in front of him, listening to the sound of laughter and slapstick in his ears, and was really speechless for a while.
The starling was finally snatched away by Gao Yishui, and the reason he gave was: since he is the owner of this starling, of course, he should taste the fattest part of it to be fair and reasonable.
While eating barbecue, the three of them began to chatter one after another.
Qin Ke was assassinated on the street before, Gao Yishui had spent most of the day explaining to him more clearly, Qin Ke's idea of beating him up was not put into practice in the end, but only condemned and warned him fiercely, and forced him to swear that he would not use such a shady method to pull innocent people into the water again in the future......
Now that they were sitting together again, Qin Ke no longer hid it, and asked bluntly: "What should we do next?" Could it be that you plan to eat rice here every day and do nothing?"
"Is there anything wrong with eating white rice every day......" Gao Yishui's mouth was stuffed with barbecue meat, and his voice was a little slurred.
Qin Ke said angrily: "Don't interrupt! If it continues to develop like this, the public will really have to be the master of the house, what will Yinxue do when the time comes, and what will Sinan's compass do?"
Gao Yishui frowned and said, "The public is going to be in charge?" Who told you?"
"Isn't this a bald man with lice on his head, obvious......ly? Two days ago, I was approached by Gong Yiren, and I looked at him like that, and the situation was not optimistic...... Although Yinxue has a heart, she doesn't have the strength and prestige after all, and it is almost impossible to fight the public to fight head-on......"
"Don't be so full of words. Gao Yishui interrupted him, shook his head and said: "No matter how bad the situation of the public loser is good, but he still breathes a sigh of relief, no matter how big the public loses the family, it is also an empty shelf, in terms of strength and prestige, who can be stronger than the public loser?"
"But he's sick like that, and he doesn't know how long he'll last. Qin Ke said: "If one day he suddenly dies, are you prepared?"
Gao Yishui grinned, "No." ”
"What then. Qin Ke stood up suddenly, not understanding where Gao Yishui's indifference came from, "That compass ......"
"The compass doesn't necessarily have to be taken from Gong Yinxue's hand, does it?" Gao Yishui asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean......" Qin Ke was a little weak-hearted.
"The compass is in the hands of the ancestors, but it will take a long time to worship the ancestors, have you ever thought about it...... Strike first?"
Qin Ke's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"The problem is, there's one thing I don't understand right now. Gao Yishui plucked his ears with his little finger, touched his chin and thought, "Do you think the public loses benevolence...... What the hell was going on in his mind?"
