Chapter 7: Humiliation
"Xiaomei, what does this matter have to do with her?" said the rich man Zhang's face changed slightly, pretending not to know. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I heard that Brother Zhang Tao is going to marry Xiaomei in a few days?" Xiang Qi laughed twice and said.
"Little Lao'er is not talented, and he really wants to marry this ninth aunt's wife. The rich man Zhang smiled, and as he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and continued with a straight face, "Listen to Wang Po, this Xiaomei is also from Dong'an Town, does Xiang Ye know?"
Xiang Qi didn't speak, but played with the teacup in his hand.
"Brother Zhang Tao, you may not know, this Xiaomei and Qi'er grew up together since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have no guesses and childhood sweethearts. They have affection and concubines, can Brother Zhang Tao bear to ruin the good things between them?" After a moment of silence, Xiang Shuo spoke.
"How can there be such a thing? This princess who has suffered a thousand knives actually introduced the woman Xiang Ye liked to me, it is really bold! She is a woman with eyes and no beads, and the next time I see her, I will definitely cut her eyes out! I have a proposal, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Zhang Da Rich Man's face was surprised and innocent, and as he spoke, his face was as jealous and indignant as hatred and righteous indignation.
"You and I are not outsiders, Brother Zhang Tao just open his mouth!" Xiang Qi said with a look of interest on his face.
"I'm so old, I've long lost interest in women, and this Xiaomei family, I just gave some bride price. Xiang Ye has also reached the age of marriage, if you don't mind, how about marrying Xiaomei?" Zhang Da Rich Lord's eyes purred, and he said his "proposal".
What kind of person is Zhang Dacai, he has long heard the implicit meaning of Xiang Qi's uncle and nephew's words, and there are still many places where he will rely on Xiang Qi in the future, so naturally he will not give Xiang Qi this face. After all, there are beautiful women in the world, and he is not inferior to Xiaomei.
Xiang Qi's mind is so smart, he has long expected this "proposal" of the rich man Zhang, but when this word comes out of his mouth, it is better than taking the initiative to speak.
"The gentleman has the virtue of apologetic, since Brother Zhang Tao has fulfilled the little nephew, then I will thank the little nephew!" Xiang Shuo put down the teacup, arched his hand at the rich man Zhang, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
While Zhang Dacai was polite, his eyes were staring at Xiang Qi, looking like he wanted to be recognized and praised by him. It's like a dog that has just finished its master's command, wagging its tail and praying for a reward.
"Brother Zhang Tao, when I marry Xiaomei, I will find you the Huangjia Wharf!" Xiang Qi naturally understood this, only to see him drink all the tea in his hand, pat his chest, and said in a big way.
"Then thank you Xiang Ye!" Zhang Da Rich Man arched his hand at Xiang Qi and said excitedly.
The three of them talked about some other things, and Xiang Qi and Xiang Shuo got up and left.
Xiang Qi's uncle and nephew naturally did not return to their original residence, but under the guidance of the housekeeper Mu Wang, they stayed in a small courtyard in Zhang's Mansion to entertain VIPs.
Xiang Qi's trip, all the goals have been achieved, the two of them who are full of ambition imagined a rich and solid life in the future, and entered a sweet sleepland successively.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xiang Qi, who was still asleep, naturally didn't know that at this moment, in front of the door of his bedroom, there was a person standing, and he saw that one of this person's arms was hanging from his neck with a strip of cloth, and his face was very anxious. This person is none other than Mu Wang, the housekeeper.
He came here for nothing else, it was for Xiang Qi to pour the night pot.
Before, he made things difficult for Xiang Qi in every way, not because Xiang Qi had an enmity with him, but because of the superiority from the heart. As the old saying goes, there is no need to expire if you have power. Perhaps, the strong bully the weak, this is a natural thing!
Last night, he personally comprehended Xiang Qi's strength to the sky, and broke an arm because of it. Reasoning said that he should have all kinds of hatred for Xiang Qi in his heart, but on the contrary, not only did he not have the slightest hatred for Xiang Qi, but he sincerely rose up a strong reverence.
Is this the innate fear and respect of the weak for the strong?
This rich man is afraid of three points, and he naturally wants to do his best to tie the knot. After all, a person like him who sees the wind and steers the rudder has no shame and dignity at all. What's more, there is still such an unpleasant thing between himself and Xiang Qi, and he wants to use his diligence to erase this unpleasant memory.
And early this morning, before dawn, he came to Xiang Qi's residence to express his heartfelt feelings.
Mu Wang stood with his head bowed like this, and about three hours later, the sun had already climbed up three poles, and Xiang Qi pushed open the door of the house.
"Master, are you awake, can you sleep comfortably this night?" Mu Wang saw that Xiang Qi finally appeared, half-hunched over, and hurriedly walked in front of Xiang Qi's eyes, and said while sorting out Xiang Qi's clothes.
Xiang Qi's eyelids raised slightly, and after a "hmm" without a match, he turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Mu Wang didn't dare to slack off, and followed Xiang Qi into the bedroom.
"Wait a minute, I still have a bubble!" After coming in, without Xiang Qi's instructions, Mu Wang picked up Xiang Qi's night pot and was about to step towards the door, but was stopped by Xiang Qi.
"Master, if you don't mind, I'll hold the night pot, and you can just sprinkle it. Mu Wang hurriedly brought the night pot to Xiang Qi, laughed, and said.
Hearing Mu Wang's words, Xiang Qi peed after saying the word "good".
After a dozen breaths, Xiang Qi finished his convenience, and while tidying up his clothes, he seemed to inadvertently touch Mu Wang, who was about to turn away, and the night pot in Mu Wang's hand fell to the ground, making a piercing "clang" sound, and the yellow liquid spilled all over the ground.
"Steward Mu, have you always done this!" Xiang Qi said with a gloomy face.
"Little damn it!" Mu Wang "poofed", knelt on the ground, and after smacking his two mouths hard, he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"What to do next, I don't need to teach you. Xiang Qi still had an unrelenting look on his face.
Mu Wang naturally saw Xiang Qi's expression in his eyes, with his experience, he didn't know that Xiang Qi's anger had not disappeared, his heart was horizontal, and he lay on the ground and rolled around.
"Master, my clothes are thick and have good water absorption, so I think I can suck them clean in a while. Mu Wang said while rolling.
Seeing Mu Wang's embarrassed and funny appearance, Xiang Qi was very proud in his heart, and his hatred for Mu Wang was mostly gone, after all, killing people was not enough, he had taught Mu Wang several times in succession, and most of the evil breath in his heart had disappeared. In addition, as the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion, this Mu Wang naturally has something extraordinary, and in the future, maybe there will be a place where he can be used, so let him be spared for the time being.
"Okay, Steward Mu, you go down and ask an old mother to clean up. Xiang Qi chuckled softly and said.
"Master Xiang, you smile so sassy and heroic, it is really unparalleled! In the future, if you are useful to Mu Wang, even if you speak, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or heaven and earth, I will be obligated to do my best to achieve what you want!" Mu Wang has been observing words for decades, and naturally heard the truth of Xiang Qi's words, and the hanging stone in his heart finally fell, only to see him stand up very quickly, and after bowing to Xiang Qi and saying such a word, he also turned around and left.
When Mu Wang's back disappeared from sight, Xiang Qi, who had been holding back his laughter, finally laughed out loud. It's so funny that someone who used to bully him from above was humiliated by himself like this!
