Wu Wanqiong walked out of Gong's room full of irritability, and the words shameless still echoed in her ears.
She has always known that Zhao'er is a countryman, but when she sees her speech and behavior on weekdays, she can't see anything vulgar. Today, she looks like a countryman.
She walked forward with some thoughts, because she didn't look at the road, so that only people could react when she bumped into it.
"what!"
She was restrained, and when she raised her head, she realized that it was Hu San.
Wu Wanqiong has always been afraid to look directly at Hu San's face, and usually hides when she can, but when she bumped into her head-on this time, the sudden shock almost made her heart stop.
Zhao'er heard a scream coming from behind, and subconsciously ran over, only to realize that this was the case.
"Wan Qiong, are you alright? Hu San has no malicious intentions, he is, is..."
"Zhao'er, I'm fine." Wu Wanqiong hurriedly said, "It's also my fault. I didn't look at the road when I was walking, so I accidentally bumped into Hu San."
Hu San didn't speak, he let go of Wu Wanqiong's hand and limped away.
Zhao'er felt a little embarrassed. Although Hu San was a bit ugly, he was diligent and didn't talk much. This is also Wan Qiong, and it's not that I haven't seen it before, as for the trouble.
But she wasn't good at speaking directly. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "What's the matter?"
But it was Xue Tingxiang who came back from outside.
"It's nothing, it's just that Wan Qiong accidentally bumped into Hu San, like..."
Wu Wanqiong interrupted her: "Zhao'er, I'm fine, I'll go back to the store first." After that, she hurriedly left.
Only then did Zhao'er talk about the matter. Xue Tingxiang looked at Hu San who was not far away, and then at Wu Wanqiong. For some reason, his eyes became interested.
But it was only fleeting, and soon it was over.
"You go and tell Hu San and tell him not to take it to heart. Wan Qiong didn't mean it, but she was a little timid. I'll go see her." Zhao'er said.
Xue Tingxiang nodded casually, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Zhao'er left, he went to Hu San who was chopping wood in front of the kitchen with his head down.
"Zhao'er let me tell you, don't take it to heart, women are timid."
Hu San muttered indistinctly, and his subordinates did not stop.
His skill in chopping wood is very good, each of which is of average thickness, and ordinary people can't chop this kind of wood. Xue Tingxiang glanced at him, but didn't speak. He was about to leave when Hu San suddenly spoke.
"That woman is not a good person, and usually she always takes the words of her female employer intentionally or unintentionally."
Xue Tingxiang became interested and asked, "How did you know?"
The movement in Hu San's hand paused for a moment, then Fang said, "You heard it, the young master will also say it, but the young master is still young and doesn't understand."
Xue Tingxiang nodded: "Since you told me one thing, I will also tell you one thing, this woman is from the Wu family."
With a bang, the axe in Hu San's hand fell to the ground.
The usual Hu San never faced people directly, and always lowered his head halfway, intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, he was probably really surprised, exposing his entire face to the air.
Seriously, Hu San is actually not bad, with a rough outline, deep eyes and a high nose, at first glance he is a tough guy. Unfortunately, he was damaged by a scar about seven inches in length from the corner of his left eye to his chin.
The scar almost hurt his left eye, which is shocking. And the originally upright and tough face is also shaped like a yaksha.
"what do you know?"
Xue Tingxiang paused in his footsteps and turned his back: "I don't know anything."
"Then why did you mention the Wu family?"
"The Wu family has a grudge against me. I said this to tell you that I've been watching." Xue Tingxiang said with a smile in his voice, and after saying this, he went into the room.
Leaving Hu San to look at the door, his face changed unpredictably.
At this time, a melodious voice came from the door: "Hong'er is at Da Ni'er's house next door, you go and bring him back. This stinky boy, his father is back, and he doesn't know how to come back."
After a long while, Hu San moved and limped out the door.
Not long after, when he brought Hong'er back, there was no Xue Tingxiang in the room.
Hu San closed the door, followed behind Hong'er who was running fast, crossed the small garden, and arrived at the back door of the shop.
Hong'er had already got in, Hu San stood still at the back door, and heard that the male boss was joking with the female boss. Hu San didn't need to look to know that the woman surnamed Wu must have a bad face.
Hu San has been traveling for many years, and he has seen many such women.
This kind of person is pitiful and pathetic, always coveting other people's things. Of course, this was what Hu San had thought before, but today because of Xue Tingxiang's words, he changed his mind and couldn't help but guess the purpose of this woman's coming to Xue's house.
In the evening, Zhaoer took Honger to take a bath, and Xue Tingxiang was reading in the study.
The day in August is still dry with autumn, and today is particularly hot, so the window sash of the study is wide open, and a slight cool breeze blows in from the outside, adding a hint of coolness.
Hu San walked in silently, staring at Xue Tingxiang with a terrifying eye.
"Should I trust you?"
"Don't believe me, I can't even believe it myself." Xue Tingxiang, who was behind the book case, only wore a scribe's robe, but his clothes were wide open and looked rather unruly. To put it bluntly, it is hot.
"Then who else can I trust?" This is probably the first time Hu San, who has been silent as gold since he came to the Xue family, showed such a confused state.
"You still believe in yourself."
"Master, I have something to tell you."
At this moment, there was only a roar of thunder outside, followed by a few lightning bolts in the dim sky, and heavy rain poured down from the sky without warning.
Amidst the sound of rain and thunder, there was the call of Zhao'er, Xue Tingxiang stood up and said, "Okay, you'd better talk about it later."
The heavy rain overnight made it cold.
When I woke up in the morning, the sky was overcast, Wu Wanqiong was tightly wrapped in his cloak, Yingge supported her, and the two hurried outside.
Just after leaving the yard, he bumped into a few people head-on, headed by the gloomy old Wu Ge, and Amber stood behind him with a hesitant expression.
Wu Wanqiong's heart tightened, and her face turned pale on the spot.
Wu Ge lost his temper fiercely, and gave his daughter a foot restraint before leaving the yard where Wu Wanqiong lived.
After returning to the study, his anger still lingered, and he looked at Amber with fire in his eyes.
"You dare to help her hide this from me?"
An Bo smiled bitterly: "Master, calm down, the girl has been feeling depressed ever since she came back from the He family. Finally, she was willing to go out and walk away, and the old slave is not easy to stop it. Besides, there is Wu's following, and we have Wu's family. The name is out, and nothing can happen to the girl, so the old slave will be negligent, who would have thought that such a thing would happen."
In fact, Amber didn't intend to say it at first, but after Wu Wanqiong promised him that time, he still went his own way. Amber talked to her again, and she promised her in her mouth, what should be done in private, and then Amber couldn't help but scolded Wu Ge.
"This girl is fascinated by ghosts. The dignified eldest lady went to work in a little-known shop, and that shop was actually owned by the Xue family. It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Wu Ge is old-fashioned pacing back and forth, where can he see the majestic old style of Ge who is full of majesty on weekdays.
"Master, the girl is also..."
The boss of Wu Ge waved his palm and scolded: "Don't explain for her, this girl is used by me, and she is getting more and more daring, and she does such a scandalous thing, I said why she is always on that marriage. Pushing three and resisting four, it turns out that all should be here.”
Amber didn't speak until Wu Ge finally calmed down and sat down behind the desk before saying, "Master, the girl's eyes are actually pretty good."
"Good eyesight?"
"Lord, think about it, since the opening of the Division of Scholars, a total of two 6 yuan and tiers have been awarded. This Xue Tingxiang is the second one in thousands of years, and he is still less than 20 years old. There are talents. Wisdom is not bad. A poor boy, single-handedly, can stir up the entire capital and bring down many court officials. The key is that he is still safe and sound. This strategy alone should not be underestimated. "
Amber paused, and only after seeing Wu Ge was listening, did he say again: "This old slave is definitely not trying to grow other people's ambition to destroy his prestige, but just thinking that since the girl likes it and there is no one else behind this son, no It is the most suitable candidate. Compared with Taoyi, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes, so it is no wonder that the girl does not like it.
"Of course, it's also the old slave who has selfish intentions, and he really cares for the girl. The girl was reluctant to marry her last time, and she finally got married, but unfortunately, Uncle He was so unlucky that the girl was unhappy for so long. Although the old slave was unhappy. I'm a slave, but watching the girl grow up is really unbearable."
Even a servant of Amber could not bear it, and Wu Ge was such an only daughter, so how could he not feel distressed. Just know that you can't bear it, you have to endure it. But when he heard these words, he couldn't help but be a little silent.
"Why is there no one behind this kid? There is also the Beilu Academy." After a long while, Wu Ge said.
"Master, after the previous incident, I'm afraid that the backer can't be called, it's good not to have a grudge."
This is true, whoever doesn't hate it, the teacher's sect is just fine, the teacher is also standing by, but for himself, it is an accidental death.
"He even hates Beilu, can he not hate the Wu family?"
Amber smiled indifferently and said, "But it's not the patriarch who did this, but the father and son of the second master, and even you, master, were almost implicated."
This is also true.
"Besides, at that time, the calf was not afraid of tigers. Now that he has entered this muddy water and has been treated coldly for so long, he must have understood the value of power at this time."
If Xue Tingxiang was given another chance to choose, he would definitely not choose to offend Wu Ge. The superiors have this kind of superiority, and there is no need to say or do anything, and the people below will wink more than imagined.
"And the master has been talking before, whether to promote this kid named Xue, firstly to show the world to the world, secondly to show His Majesty-" Amber did not finish the rest of the words. But how could Old Wu Ge could not understand.
It seems that all problems are no longer a problem.
Wu Ge Lao suddenly laughed and smiled, and he sighed a little: "Wu An, I really regretted it at the time, and I shouldn't have kept you by my side because I couldn't bear you. If you can also take the exam, there is you. Why should I be so tired when I help each other in the DPRK and China?"
With a humble smile on his face, Amber said: "Master, don't say that you can't bear Wu An, Wu An also can't bear you. The old slave may be able to interject a word or two in small matters, but for major matters, the old slave is Out of reach."
Old Wu Ge nodded and waved his hand again: "You go down, this matter is not urgent, I have my own discretion."
"Yes, sir."
Amber withdrew slowly, but his thoughts couldn't help but drift far away.
At that time, as the book boy of the eldest son of the Wu family, he also had the opportunity to read, and he did not even read badly.
Amber knew that Wu Ge's exclamation was just a momentary exclamation. The smarter the person, the more he won't let him go, because Wu Ge is such a small-minded person, how can he allow the servants around him to be smarter than himself.
pity-
It's a pity that he was too young to hide his edge when he didn't understand it. By the time he understood it, it was already too late.
He can't go away, he'll never go away.
Human encounters are sometimes so strange.
Let Xue Tingxiang think of a song, a song that appeared in his dream—
Seeing him rise from a tall building, seeing him feasting on guests, seeing his building collapse.
At this time, Xue Tingxiang, with this strange mentality, listened to Meng Haochang telling himself vividly, how lost Tao Yitong in the Shuchang Pavilion is now, and somehow he thought of this.
It turned out that everything before was misunderstood by Tao Yitong.
Tao Yitong was eager to welcome the arrival of the lucky moment, but he couldn't wait, so he couldn't help asking the person who had mentioned it to him before.
Who would have thought that the other party would scold him, saying that he wanted to eat swan meat, and that Wu Ge's only daughter was something he could think of? !
Tao Yitong couldn't stand the blow, and fell ill immediately. Naturally, this matter could not be concealed, and it was spread.
After finally waiting for him to recover and returning to the Hanlin Academy, the situation has changed from heaven to earth. How many people praised him at that time, how many people laugh at him now.
Xue Tingxiang didn't want to admit that he was actually among them.
Whoever called that boy was too shallow, and he didn't know how to be a human being.
It's getting cooler every day in August.
He took off his summer shirt and put on his autumn shirt.
At the same time, something happened, Wu Wanqiong actually disappeared.
The reason why I say this is also because she didn't come to Wangji Flower Square one day suddenly, Zhao'er thought she had something to do, so she didn't have time to come over to tell her, but she didn't come the next day, so Zhao'er was in a hurry.
Zhao'er has Wu Wanqiong's home address in Xicheng. She asked Hu San to drive her there, but she didn't know where she was. There was such a place, but there was no such person.
This time the move is stunned.
"I told you a long time ago that you should be careful in everything. I have many enemies in the DPRK, and you have a lot of enemies in Beijing. Looking for a buddy is looking for a buddy, and you must be a person who can confirm and trust. Now look at it, nothing happened. If Wu Wanqiong kidnapped us Hong'er, what would you do?"
This statement made Zhao'er sweat cold, and she naturally remembered that Wu Wanqiong likes Hong'er the most, and she usually leads Hong'er to play around. Zhao'er thought, his sky will definitely fall.
Usually Xue Tingxiang said Zhao'er, she always had something to say, but this time she couldn't say anything.
The next day, she got angry and went to the people's market to buy people.
She only picked up those little girls who were about ten years old and bought them. Even if these girls were the most expensive in the market, she gritted her teeth and bought several.
In this regard, Xue Tingxiang agreed.
Saying a thousand words and ten thousand, nothing is as good as holding a contract in his hand. He also told Zhao’er that her business will only get bigger and bigger, and the problem of manpower can’t always be left unsolved. Now it’s time to think about it. thought.
He also came up with a way for Zhao'er to choose some smart boys from the disaster victims, and it is best to buy some boys back. Don't be too young, as long as they are eleven or twelve years old, teach them to recognize some superficial words, and learn to plan a plate, and they can use it as a buddy when they turn their heads.
Those who are outstanding can focus on training. After a few years, these people will be the big and small managers of Zhao'er's subordinates, and even the treasurer's account.
For this matter, Zhao'er has been very busy recently.
At this time, Xue Tingxiang also faced a turning point in his life.
There was an order from above, ordering him to serve as the clerk of the cabinet, and he went to the cabinet to report recently.
