"Oops," Eunuch Land clapped his hands, "Isn't this okay! This one can be used, but don't take it out lightly. Others are just a few pieces of broken silver. You should be careful with such a big gold ingot to prevent thieves from thinking about it. You don’t have to take it out and use it when it’s not critical.”
Next, the father-in-law instilled some common sense knowledge in Sheng Jiayan and Meng Qiqi. Meng Eqi couldn't help but sigh that there are many rules among mortals, and it's not as simple as hell to get along with each other.
When Fan Taichu came back, the father-in-law disappeared immediately.
"Brother Fan!" Meng Eqi watched him busy adding firewood and boiling water: "Don't bother, let's go to the town. It just so happened that my brother and I still have some things to do. You take us there by the way. It's ready for dinner."
Afraid of Fan Taichu's rejection, Meng Eqi slapped Sheng Jiayan's chest: "My brother treats you."
Fan Taichu rubbed his hands: "How embarrassing is this."
In the end, Fan Taichu was dragged out by Meng Eqi and pushed out the door. He didn't want to let Meng Eqi and Sheng Jiayan invite him to dinner in vain. He also invited Meng Eqi and Sheng Jiayan to rest at his house for a few days if they didn't dislike it.
Of course, Meng Qiqi couldn't ask for it, but Sheng Jiayan didn't express any other opinions, and he kept the iceberg face of Zhang strangers along the way.
It took half an hour to walk, because Meng Eqi was new to everything, so the three of them walked for an hour and a half before they reached the town.
When we arrived at the market in the town, there were hawkers shouting and hawking along the streets. Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages passed by, and pedestrians hurried to avoid them.
Meng Qiqi looked fresh everywhere, but it was Fan Taichu who walked to a tofu stand with ease. He found two copper plates out of nowhere: "Xiaoxi, I want a piece of tofu."
Meng Eqi looked at his cautious and shy appearance, and felt that Fan Taichu had a different attitude when they were with this little girl.
Meng Qiqi looked at them with a probing head, Miss Xiaoxi was skilled, the tofu gradually turned bright yellow in the boiling oil pan, and the fragrance gradually wafted out in the alley. She happily accepted Fan Taichu's copper coins, but she took two and kept one for him.
"Not so much."
Fan Taichu insisted that she take it: "Xiaoxi, you take it, and if you have any extra, you can save it and buy some bones to make soup. I heard that your grandmother broke her leg a few days ago, and you took care of it for so many days, why is it like this today? I've come to open a stall a long time ago, and I won't rest for a few days. You are so blue now."
Meng Eqi secretly tutted a few times and sighed in a low voice, "I never imagined that Fan Taichu would have such a gentle and watery side."
Sheng Jiayan stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm demeanor, and the passers-by around him cast a lot of curious glances at him and Meng Qiqi.
"To the person you like, everyone will show a different side."
Meng Qiqi blinked, a little puzzled: "Like it? You mean Fan Taichu likes her?"
Meng Qiqi pinched her chin and began to think about what love in the world is.
"Is there anyone you like, Your Majesty?"
Meng Qiqi didn't know if she had read it wrong. For the first time, a trace of panic flashed in Sheng Jiayan's eyes, who was as steady as Mount Tai. Immediately after returning to Wubo, his tone was still light: "What nonsense are you talking about."
That girl Xiaoxi didn't know what she was happy about, so she was amused by Fan Taichu and laughed again and again. At this moment, Xiaoxi noticed the two people behind Fan Taichu, and saw that Sheng Jiayan and Meng Qiqi were all dressed in white, without any ornaments, and they showed an aura that ordinary people would not dare to look directly at. . Especially the man in white, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and he was majestic without saying a word. His gaze was like a breeze blowing across his face, with the coldness and spring breeze of spring, which made Xiaoxi feel as if falling into a cloud, soft and powerless.
Xiaoxi lowered her voice: "Taichu, is this your friend?"
These two people looked expensive and didn't look like ordinary people. Where did Fan Taichu know each other.
Fan Taichu disapproved and smiled: "Yes, these are my two saviours. I brought them to the town to see them, and they also played here."
When Xiaoxi heard the words, she packed a few more tofu and handed it to him.
"Since you are a benefactor, you should treat them well."
Fan Taichu was about to say thank you, when there was a sound of hooves in the distance. From far to near, the crowd gradually dispersed, and a carriage appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The BMW incense car, and the servants sitting on it are dressed in bright cloth and full of energy. They must be the subordinates of some noble family. Linyao is a small town, not to mention horses and even donkeys on weekdays, let alone a carriage pulled by such a brightly colored horse.
The blue-clothed servants drove the carriage along the street unhurriedly, and if it was said to be arrogant, it would not be the case. It's just that this move is obviously different from the posture of ordinary people, which makes everyone on the street whisper.
"I don't know who's young lady, there is such a big pomp to travel, I've opened my eyes today!"
The horse's hoofs slowly stopped in front of Miss Xiaoxi's shop, and the servant in the car turned around and opened the curtain and said respectfully to the inside: "Sir, it's here."
The curtain moved slightly, and an apricot-colored figure peeked out from inside.
The man got off the carriage, with his hands behind his back, with a long body and an elegant appearance, his black eyes shining brightly, and he was carrying the demeanor of a turbid Shijia son.
"Ruizhi is here." Xiaoxi immediately greeted her.
Different from Xiaoxi's happy face, Fan Taichu's always smiling face suddenly cooled down and looked a little unhappy.
Rui? The name is so familiar.
It happened that Sheng Jiayan said in his ear: "This is the person who stole Fan Taichu's financial resources, Li Rui."
what! It was him!
It was all a coincidence, because when Meng Qiqi was helping to look at the world's wealth, he just took a nap, and when he woke up, he found that the fortune that belonged to Fan Taichu had been snatched by that Li Ruizuo.
This matter is also an oolong. On that day, Fan Taichu and Li Ruizhi went to the city to buy things needed for farming. Both of them were born in a poor family, and they happened to be sewed on the daughter of a foreign member of the city to jump into the river. Fan Taichu jumped into the water to save people, and Li Rui turned around and called for help.
This was an excellent thing, and Miss Jia was also rescued. It's a pity that Fan Taichu's efforts to save people were ignored, and he was not as happy as Li Rui's coaxing and coaxing Mr. Jia. In addition, Li Rui's face was really handsome, and he gained Miss Jia's eyes. From then on, he jumped to the branch and became a guest in the Jia-Master's mansion. Because he was extremely favored, everyone outside called him Li Gongzi. Really no longer a poor boy.
The poor thing is that Fan Taichu, he was the one who saved people, he was the one who was almost swept away by the whirlpool in the river, and he was also the one who got nothing in the end.
"Xiao Xi." Li Rui smiled slightly, carrying Young Master Ruyu.
Xiaoxi also smiled: "You're late today, but it's alright, I left you tofu."
Li Rui took out a dripping jade bracelet from his arms and handed it to her: "For you."
Xiaoxi immediately put it on her wrist and looked at it for a long time, her eyes full of joy: "This... This is from Baocuizhai. How can you spend so much money."
"It's alright, we are old friends, and it's right to take care of you more."
The two of them were over there, hello and me, but Meng Eqi couldn't help shivering. Quietly said to Sheng Jiayan: "Why do I get goosebumps when I hear it?"
Sheng Jiayan just glanced at it, and said calmly: "He won't be lucky for long, and he's not a good person."
Meng Eqi listened to the words and looked at Li Rui, who was saying something to Xiaoxi with a warm smile. Meng Eqi shook her head again and sighed with emotion: "Know people, know faces, but don't know hearts."
Good-looking skins are a little unknown.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lord Yama next to her.
Fan Taichu couldn't stand it any longer, and said to Meng Qiqi and Sheng Jiayan, "Let's go back today, I've finished buying the tofu."
Meng Eqi saw that his face was not good, and was about to say something when Li Rui's greeting came from behind them.
"Brother Fan, why are you leaving when you see me?"
He approached and saw Fan Taichu and Sheng Jiayan and Meng Qiqi standing together. He hurriedly bowed: "I don't know who these two are?"
Sheng Jiayan didn't speak, and Meng Eqi couldn't speak. On the other hand, Fan Taichu was angry at first: "I'm already a stranger to you. You are the cloud in the sky and I am the mud on the ground. I don't need Li Gongzi to condescend to talk to me."
Li Rui sighed: "Why are you still so stubborn, as long as you speak, I will definitely help you."
He took out a bulging silver bag from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Taichu: "Being a brother, nothing can help you, you can use it first."
Fan Taichu refused to accept it, and the girl Xiaoxi came over and said, "Taichu, don't be too stubborn. What happened at that time was purely a misunderstanding. How could you grow up together as brothers, how could you be an enemy just because of a little misunderstanding? Like?"
Fan Taichu's eyes were red: "I'm not an enemy, and I won't ask for his money."
Li Rui pretended to be concerned, but in reality, what he said was very unpleasant.
"Brother Fan, why are you bothering? Your house is no longer habitable, and your clothes haven't been changed for many years. It's hard to fill your stomach every day. I just want to help you, not to give you money. It's the same if you give it back to me."
The servant next to him sneered at the right time: "Master, lend him the money, when will he be able to pay it back?"
"Qingzhu, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing the sneering and mocking of the two masters and servants, Meng Eqi couldn't bear it any longer.
She pinched the gold ingot and threw it directly on the servant's forehead. The little servant couldn't be prepared, and screamed in pain when he was smashed. After discovering that it was a gold ingot, he quickly picked it up and widened his eyes: "Young Master, it's gold!"
Meng Eqi said viciously: "I don't give you this money, I don't give it to you. It's really disgusting to listen to you, so I'll give you tea and wash your mouth with this money! I don't want to be annoying here. ."
