From April to September in the lunar calendar is the best time to eat lobsters. The fattest and most delicious prawns are from May to July. Luo Yongzhi must complete the purchase before May. With a stable supply, everything will come naturally. up.
Luo Yongzhi was more interested in this matter than in farming, so he didn't need his mother to urge him, so he got dressed and went out before dawn.
Here Luo Yongzhi went to Shili Baxiang to buy shrimps, and Qiao Wei went to the town to explain her plan to Boss Rong.
When Boss Rong heard this, he took a weak breath: "Lobster? Rongji cooks lobster every year, but the sales are not very good."
Qiao Wei pondered for a while, and asked the cook to make a serving.
The current lobster is already a bit big, but it is not as big as eight or nine cents, and it is not fat enough to eat. The chefs cook marinated shrimps. From the taste alone, there is not much criticism. After all, it is not for nothing that they have been masters for so many years.
"How is it?" Boss Rong asked Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said seriously: "I agree with the taste."
Boss Rong curled his lips and said: "Is it? Is it delicious? But what's the use of delicious food? To tell you the truth, I can't sell 500 catties of lobsters a day! You also asked your brother to offer 500 catties a day... the price is my Let’s not talk about it, I’m always willing to spend on ingredients, and he’s your brother, so I have no problem asking him to earn more, but I can’t buy it for nothing and put it in the house, wouldn’t that make me use my own money to repay it? ?”
Qiao Wei smiled confidently: "Boss Rong, don't worry, as long as you do what I say, don't say fifty catties, five hundred catties are also guaranteed to be sold cleanly, and you will still think my brother gave it to you. Not enough stock!"
Boss Rong looked Qiao Wei from head to toe in disbelief: "I'm ugly, Xiao Qiao, you came up with this bad idea. If you can't sell it, the money lost will be deducted from your year-end dividend!"
Qiao Wei grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "If they are sold, you have to give me an extra year-end bonus."
"What's the year-end bonus?" Boss Rong asked wonderingly.
Qiao Wei knocked on the melon seeds and said, "It's a big red envelope."
Boss Rong snorted: "Think about why you don't lose money first, I'm afraid that your dividends will not be enough to fill the loopholes you lost!"
Qiao Wei didn't want to argue with him on this issue. Seeing is believing. When the day comes, he will understand whether it is a mule or a horse: "You will be right if you listen to me about this matter."
"What are you going to do?" Boss Rong also grabbed a handful of melon seeds, disgusted, he obviously doesn't like to eat melon seeds, but this guy is always eating in front of him, making him hungry!
Qiao Wei replied, "Let the street opposite first."
"One, one whole street?" Boss Rong almost swallowed the melon seed shells!
Qiao Wei nodded: "I'm not referring to the shop, but the stalls opposite."
The street where Yung Kee is located is divided into north and south sides. Yung Kee is on the south side. The south side is mostly lined with shops. There are also some shops on the north side, such as Yuelai Inn. The place where Qiao Wei first set up her stall was opposite Rong Kee.
Boss Rong stared at her puzzledly: "Why do you rent so many places?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "You will know when the time comes."
Boss Rong smacked his lips: "That place is not easy to rent. Those of you who have set up a stall should know that it is a daily rent."
Qiao Wei did not deny it: "Of course I know, but the daily rent is for traders during the day, and there are not many people in the afternoon. We rent at night, which does not affect each other. Besides, even if we don't rent, then There is no one else to rent the land, it is empty and empty, why not rent it to us?"
Rong Ji nodded suddenly: "Okay, leave this to me."
Qiao Wei gave him the blueprints she had drawn. She couldn't draw these by herself, so she went to the construction site in the morning to ask Master Zheng for help: "This is what I need at that time, the sooner the better. In addition, our business is Do three shifts at night, we can't keep the masters busy from morning to night without rest, we have to recruit a few more, and work on shifts."
Boss Rong shook his head and agreed very readily: "Okay, anyway, you will be blamed for the loss!"
deficit
She has suffered all the losses she deserved in her previous life, and if she repeats the same mistakes in this life, she will die for nothing.
In the evening, the whole family sat around the table to eat. Mrs. Luo scooped up a spoonful of braised pork for Jingyun and a spoonful of shrimp for Wangshu. These shrimps were caught by Luo Yongzhi from the river when he was collecting shrimps. It was a bit small, and the stewed one was not satisfying, so I simply fried the shrimp.
"Brother, how is your shrimp harvest going?" Qiao Wei asked.
Luo Yongzhi took a bite of the rice: "It's very good. Everyone in the village knows each other. As soon as I said that I wanted to collect shrimp, they agreed, saying that the shrimp in the past few days is not fat enough, and they will send it to me as soon as they become fat in two days." .”
Qiao Wei smiled happily: "That's good!"
"Why does uncle collect so many shrimps?" Wang Shu asked with blinking eyes.
Qiao Wei touched her little head, and said dotingly: "Because shrimp can make money, uncle is also going to start a business."
"Oh." Wang Shu seemed to understand.
Cuiyun felt sorry for her husband running around, so she took a piece of braised pork with her husband. Luo Yongzhi cared about her babysitting and doing farm work, and put the meat into her bowl. Cuiyun smiled shyly and ate it contentedly.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Wei sighed enviously. In fact, happiness can also be a very simple thing, right? It's just like Brother Luo and Cuiyun, who live a poor life with a sweet taste in a down-to-earth and loving manner.
After dinner, Cuiyun and Luo Yongzhi returned to the room with their son in their arms. Aunt Luo went into Qiao Wei's room to talk. The two little buns had just taken a bath and their hair was still wet. Aunt Luo and Qiao Wei picked up the cotton cloth and gave them People rubbed carefully.
"How is your talk with Rong Ji?" Aunt Luo asked softly.
Knowing that she was asking about the lobster, Qiao Wei said, "It's settled, and it should be ready for business in three to five days."
"So fast?" Aunt Luo was surprised.
Qiao Wei nodded with a smile. Boss Rong's temperament is a bit soft, but his work efficiency is quite high. With a mouth full of tongues, there is no business that cannot be negotiated. I think I am such a rock-hearted person, I was also persuaded by him back then. Yet
Aunt Luo said again: "Aren't you going to the construction site these days?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "I can't go anymore. I may go to the capital in the next two days to buy some high-quality seasonings, and shop around for furniture to see if I am satisfied."
"Are you going to buy a bed?" Wang Shu's small eyes lit up instantly, "Can my brother and I go?"
Qiao Wei knocked on her forehead: "Want to go?"
"Yeah!" The two little buns nodded their heads.
So the next day, the old scholar's private school was on holiday again...
Qiao Wei still remembered that Ji Mingxiu asked her to buy preserved eggs overnight. Before leaving, she brought a jar of preserved eggs.
Shuanzi's father's carriage couldn't travel long distances. After sending the mother and son to the town, Qiao Wei rented a carriage from a car dealership. It wasn't that she didn't want to find Chen Dadao, it was because Dadao's sense of direction was hard to describe. She hired an old coachman who had traveled across the capital, and he paid 500 Wen a day for the driver and the car.
Every time they went to the capital, the two little guys were very excited. They always opened the curtains, lay their heads against the window, and stared at the ever-regressing scenery.
"Brother, what's that?" Xiao Wangshu stretched out his fleshy little hand out of the window.
Since she can eat better than her brother, and she is already fatter than him, if you roll up her sleeves, you will no longer see two skinny little hemp stalks, but a section of white and fat lotus root.
Qiao Wei grabbed her fleshy little hand back: "Don't stretch it out."
"Why?" She became more and more curious about things.
"Because it would be dangerous."
"Why is it dangerous?"
Qiao Wei said: "Because if someone passes by, they will hit and hurt."
When it comes to pain, Wang Shu understands, and really doesn't stretch out her little hand anymore.
The old coachman was worthy of being an old coachman, and he drove the carriage smoothly to the first destination - Ganoderma Lucidum Hall without Qiao Wei's reminder.
There was no special condiment store in Daliang Dynasty, and some special condiments such as honey and fennel appeared in the pharmacy as medicinal materials. When Qiao Wei said that she wanted to buy these things, the first thing the old coachman thought of was Ganoderma lucidum.
Qiao Wei still remembers how she was rejected by Ganoderma lucidum back then, and she would be surprised to patronize its business again: "Master Guan, please change to another pharmacy."
The old coachman said: "Ganoderma lucidum is the largest and best pharmacy in the capital, and their products are the freshest!"
Qiao Wei said coldly: "People's hearts are dark, no matter how fresh something is, it may be poisonous."
"Who is so arrogant? How dare you talk nonsense at the door of my Ganoderma lucidum hall?"
A majestic woman's voice rang at the door of Lingzhi Hall. Qiao Wei opened the side curtain a little, and looked at the lady in a lavender skirt and deep dress standing under the plaque. The lady was about forty years old. , due to proper maintenance, her complexion is very rosy, her hands are folded in front of her abdomen, her posture is elegant, but her expression is a little noble and arrogant because of Qiao Wei's words.
Qiao Wei asked the children to sit back in their seats, and opened the side curtain completely: "It's me, why, did I say something wrong? Your Ganoderma lucidum hall can even refuse to treat children who are seriously ill. Isn't your heart black, is it still white?" of?"
The noble lady looked at Qiao Wei when she heard the sound, and wanted to give him a hard lesson, but when she saw her face, her body froze—
God, why is she? !
This noble lady is none other than Qiao Yuxi's biological mother, the head wife of the Enbo Mansion, and the hostess of the Ganoderma Lucidum Hall——Xu Shi.
Mrs. Xu did not expect to run into Dafang's daughter here. What is she going to do in the capital? No, what does she do in Lingzhi Church? Could it be that she got some news and came here to ask for Shen's Ganoderma lucidum back
Looking at Xu's expression, Qiao Wei always felt that this woman was a little too shocked, as if she knew her and hated and feared her.
Just when the two were trying to figure out what the other was thinking, Qiao Yuqi ran out excitedly: "Sister Benefactor! You are here!"
Qiao Wei's eyes moved slightly: "Why are you, little man?"
Qiao Yuqi ran to the carriage, stuck his head through the window, and saw the little guy sitting next to Qiao Wei. Qiao Yuqi, a child prodigy, lost to Jing Yun in the trial, and was very unhappy, and didn't want to see Jing Yun at all! He stood on tiptoe, stretched his arms, and squeezed Wang Shu's little face: "Sister! Do you still remember brother?"
Wang Shu smiled and said: "Remember, remember!"
Who is this...
Taking advantage of her son's "recognition" with each other, Xu adjusted her emotions and found a suitable reason for her gaffe just now. She walked forward with a gentle smile: "So the girl is Yu Qi's lifesaver, Yu Qi Qi drew a portrait of you, and I said, why do you look so similar? I thought I was wrong."
Qiao Yuqi did draw Qiao Wei before, and nodded to Qiao Wei: "I have drawn several pictures! I will give you one later!"
The little man turned out to be the young master of the Ganoderma lucidum hall, that is Qiao Yuxi's younger brother. What kind of relationship did he have with the Enbo mansion
Qiao Wei hated Qiao Yuxi, and didn't really like this lady who changed her face like a book, but she had some affection for the little man, and she smiled: "Okay."
Xu said kindly, "You saved my son, but I haven't been able to thank you face to face. In my heart, I've been feeling very sorry. Today happened to happen. Why don't I be the host and have a meal at Yuemanlou! "
She would not bring Qiao Wei into the Ganoderma lucidum hall. There are old people left by Shen Shi in the Lingzhi hall. If Qiao Wei looks so similar to Shen Shi, she will not be able to smooth things over if she asks Qiao Wei's identity.
Qiao Wei didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Xu, so she lightly rejected her "kindness": "No need, I have something else to do, let's go first."
Qiao Yuqi refused: "Sister! Don't go! Let me treat you to a meal!"
Seeing her son being so clingy to the eldest daughter, Mrs. Xu didn't know whether to be angry or to sigh. It's really a sinful relationship for a sister in the womb not to kiss, but to kiss a cousin!
Qiao Wei nodded his forehead: "Take me to dinner next time, I really have a lot of things to do today, and I'm rushing back to the village tonight."
Qiao Yuqi lowered her head in disappointment: "Okay then."
Qiao Wei patted his head, lowered the curtain, and let the old coachman drive the carriage away.
Xu's entire back was drenched in cold sweat. This girl appeared without warning and almost scared her to death.
"Ma'am, is that Missy?" A middle-aged mother came out with small steps and asked Xu in a low voice.
After Wang's mother disappeared, Xu promoted Lin's mother.
Mrs. Xu looked at her son who was still staring at the carriage in a daze, and pulled Mama Lin aside: "It's her, Lao Huo and the others didn't see it?"
Mother Lin said: "The servants are watching. If they find any movement, they will be sent to the warehouse to find medicinal materials."
Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Mother Lin frowned: "Ma'am, this slave looks like she really doesn't know you anymore."
Mrs. Xu said thoughtfully: "That's right, I suspected that she was faking it at first, but now it seems that she has really suffered from the disorder of losing her soul and can't remember the past." Bai sent Mama Wang to deal with her , lost a companion!
Mama Lin said again: "Then you said, is Mama Wang's disappearance related to her?"
Xu sneered: "If it was related, we would have exposed it a long time ago. She has seen Mama Wang by Yuqi's side, and today she knows that Yuqi is the young master of Ganoderma lucidum hall. Wouldn't she guess that Mama Wang was sent by us? Ms. Wang may just be unlucky, and she encountered some poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest?"
…
Qiao Wei asked the driver to go to another pharmacy to buy some seasonings she needed, and then the group ate something at a nearby restaurant. After the child prodigy finished the test, the prices in the capital dropped somewhat, but a plate of fried cabbage, a A plate of braised pork and a bowl of steamed eggs still cost her nearly a tael of silver.
After dinner, Qiao Wei asked the old coachman where he bought furniture and which one was closer to Qingfeng Street.
The old coachman said: "Qingfeng Street is not far away, just pass through this alley. The place that sells furniture is a bit far away. It's in the north of the city. We're in the south of the city now!"
Qiao Wei nodded: "Let's go to Qingfeng Street first."
The old coachman drove the carriage to Qingfeng Street and parked it in an alley. Qiao Wei got out of the carriage with the pot in her arms, and the two little buns also jumped off, and went to the courtyard with her mother.
But to Xiaobaozi's disappointment, Uncle Ming is not here!
Luzhu welcomed them into the courtyard, ordered the kitchen to cut fresh melons and fruits, and served freshly made snacks to entertain the mother and son.
"No, I won't go in and sit. I'm really in a rush today." Qiao Wei stopped on the porch and handed the pot in her hand to Lu Zhu, "Young master came to me last time and said he wanted preserved eggs. I'm going to Beijing today. If there is something to do, I will send it to him."
Luzhu's eyes lit up, and she hugged the jar: "Preserved Eggs? That's great, this is the old madam's favorite food! My servant first thank you on behalf of the old madam!"
Qiao Wei smiled slightly and said, "I have received many favors from your young master. It's just a jar of preserved eggs, so don't be so polite."
Luzhu smiled and said: "What? I heard that even money can't buy this thing!"
Qiao Wei didn't have the nerve to say that she did it by herself, she smiled and didn't speak.
"Mrs. Qiao is interested, why don't you come in and sit for a while?" Lu Zhu asked to stay.
"No, I have to look at the furniture."
"Ma'am... are you moving?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Rebuilt the house."
Luzhu said again, "Why don't you wait for your lord to come back and let him take you to see it? Your lord has a good eye!"
"Really can not."
"lady-"
The two were "at a stalemate", and Qiao Wei had to devote half of her attention to watching the children running wildly in the yard, but she didn't notice someone standing outside the door at some point.
Luzhu handed the jar to the little maid and took it to the kitchen, took Qiao Wei's arm and said, "Madam, you can stay, the children don't want to leave either."
This time it really wasn't that Qiao Wei didn't want to stay, a house was being built on the mountain, and Rong Ji was doing business, so it would be a delay to come out for a day.
"You won't quarrel with your master again, right?" Luzhu instantly grasped a certain "important point".
Qiao Wei laughed: "Where are there so many quarrels? You are no longer a child. Your master, the prime minister, can hold a boat in his belly, so he doesn't care about me like a little girl."
Whether you care about it or not, you really don't know, since you pushed him into the haystack, he hasn't shown up again.
Luzhu echoed: "That's right, my master is the most magnanimous person, but magnanimity is divided into people, after all, the master treats you differently..."
The phrase "be different" made Qiao Yuxi outside the door tightly squeeze the veil tightly. If she still can't tell that this woman is having trouble with the Prime Minister, then it is too unreasonable. No wonder every time she sees herself, she The nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, so it was not because of the discord in the town, nor the refusal of the Ganoderma lucidum hall, but just because she also fell in love with the adults!
"Jingyun, Wangshu, let's go!" After talking with Luzhu, Qiao Wei called the two little buns, turned and left the courtyard.
It was just after noon, and the weather was a bit stuffy. The two of them were sweating profusely after running around the yard twice. Qiao Wei wiped the sweat off their heads with a handkerchief. As for the figure, she paused for a moment, a coldness rose in her heart almost subconsciously, then she raised her head and saw the other person's appearance clearly, and only then did she understand where the coldness came from.
"It's you." Qiao Wei straightened up indifferently, and said to the two little buns, "You guys play over there for a while, don't go far."
The two looked at their mother, then at Qiao Yuxi, frowned vigilantly, and went to the side to play.
Qiao Yuxi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "You don't seem to care what I do, do you?"
Qiao Yuxi tightened the veil in her hand: "What is your relationship with the adults? Why do you always pester the adults?"
Oh, that's the point.
Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "It was you who was eavesdropping on the corner of the wall just now, I thought it was a salesman passing by the courtyard."
Qiao Yuxi turned sideways and looked towards a stretching alley: "You don't need to try your best to humiliate me, no matter what you say, it won't change the fact that I respect you."
Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing: "Then why do you, a noble daughter, want to talk to a humble person like me over and over again?"
Qiao Yuxi blushed from choking: "I... I want to warn you, don't rely on Shiqi liking you, you can think about things that don't belong to you!"
"What was on my mind?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qiao Yuxi's eyes were like torches and he said: "Don't deny it! You are against me again and again, and you refuse my solicitation again and again, isn't it because of this? I still think you are such a spineless person, but it turns out that in your heart So nasty! You pee and look in the mirror. From head to toe, how can you be worthy of an adult? You have been married and given birth to children, and you have long been innocent. What right do you have to seduce an adult?"
Qiao Wei asked back: "What's wrong with being married, what's wrong with having children? Isn't it single? My man is dead, and I'm just like you. I'm a person waiting to be married. I don't think about who is me freedom, you have nothing to do with it.”
Don't say that she just has a green liking for meditation, it's far from the point where she wants to seduce her, but she's here, who can say anything about unmarried men and women
Qiao Yuxi was almost pissed off by her: "You are a widow of a dead man, what qualifications do you have to compare with me! Do you know who I am? I am the eldest lady of the Enbo Mansion, and my father is the uncle. In Tai Hospital, my mother is from Sanpinshu, my uncle who died was once a Marquis of Wanhu who was appointed by the emperor personally, and my aunt is a genius doctor of Medicine Valley, just because of you, you want to grab a man from me?!"
Even the dead are moved out, I'm really not confident!
The corners of Qiao Wei's lips curved slightly: "Yes, I have nothing, but your adults have come to look for me several times, and I am also very distressed, what should I do?"
Qiao Yuxi turned pale: "You...you...you are shameless! I am the adult's fiancée!"
Qiao Wei said calmly: "Then fiancee, take care of your man, don't let him always come to me."
Can she stand it? She can't even meet adults!
Qiao Yuxi was so angry: "Don't lie! I don't believe that the lord has gone to you! You must be entangled with the lord! You just want to climb high! You want to find a cheap father for your two bastards— "
Snapped!
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Yuxi was knocked down to the ground by a sudden big ear scraper!
This slap was so forceful that Qiao Yuxi's face swelled instantly, and several bright red finger marks were clearly visible.
Qiao Wei looked at her condescendingly: "I never hit a woman in the face, congratulations you are the first."
Xingzhu on the side was dumbfounded by fright. This village girl is so arrogant, so how could she even hit the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's mansion? Isn't she afraid that one day she will die a miserable death
Qiao Yuxi was also very frightened at this time. It's not that she has never seen Qiao Wei teach others, but she can't be punished by a doctor, and she can't be polite to a common man. In Qiao Yuxi's view, Qiao Wei taught Fang's mother because of her identity. She is lowly, and she is a nobleman, Qiao Wei dare not hurt her at all no matter what, how could Qiao Wei beat her without saying a word
Parents never beat her like this!
She was trembling with anger, but she couldn't speak harsh words because of fear, she could only stare with red eyes.
"Mom! Can we go?" Wang Shu ran over with Xiaobai in his arms.
The coldness on Qiao Wei's face instantly turned into tenderness, and she touched her little head: "Okay, let's go." Looking at Jing Yun in the alley, Jing Yun was looking at the soles of his shoes, "What's wrong, son?"
Jing Yun frowned: "I seem to be stepping on a nail."
Qiao Wei's heart trembled, she hurried over, and squatted down: "Show me."
Jing Yun supported the wall and stretched his calf in front of Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei took off his shoe and found that there was indeed a small nail on the sole of the shoe. Fortunately, the nail was on the side and did not hurt her son's foot.
Qiao Wei pulled out the nails, pressed one hand into the cracks in the bricks of the wall, and put on the shoes for her son.
Wang Shu was playing marbles with Xiaobai on the bluestone road not far away, a marble rolled to the middle of the road, Wang Shu stepped on his short legs to pick it up, at this moment, a carriage came galloping!
Qiao Yuxi happened to be standing beside Wang Shu, and she could pull Wang Shu over with just a stretch of her hand, but she didn't do that, she didn't even say a word to remind her, she just watched the carriage crash into Wang Shu.
Qiao Wei heard the sound of horseshoes, felt bad, and ran out of the alley: "Wang Shu! Get out of the way!"
It was too late, the carriage had already crashed over.
Xiaobai raised it with a swish, and scratched the galloping horse with one paw. The horse was frightened, and suddenly raised its front hooves to stand up. The carriage stopped without warning, and the huge inertia threw the driver out of the car. , There was also a sound of collision in the car.
"Ouch-"
A woman exclaimed in pain.
Qiao Wei rushed forward, holding Wang Shu in her arms and stepping aside.
The coachman got up, restrained the frightened horse, and asked fearfully, "Miss, are you alright?"
A servant girl lifted the curtain: "Who is so courageous! You even dare to ram the carriage of the General's Mansion!"
Qiao Wei hugged Wang Shu: "I'm sorry, it's my daughter picking up things on the road, but your driver is not blind, why can't you see anyone here? Why don't you tell her to get out of the way?"
The servant girl scolded: "Is there any reason for you to hurt my young lady?"
Qiao Wei became angry: "It wasn't me who hurt your lady, it was your unsightly driver! Seeing someone running so fast! My daughter is young, ignorant, and doesn't know how to dodge. You, the driver, have several Ten years old, like a five-year-old child, bumping into anyone?!"
The servant girl looked at Qiao Yuxi who was at the side: "Girl, you have been here just now, so you must have seen clearly what happened, please tell me, did my carriage hit her daughter just now, or her daughter hit my carriage! "
Of course your carriage hit her daughter.
Qiao Yuxi touched her burning cheeks, and said softly: "Children like to run wild, and they just came from the countryside. They don't know much about the rules. This young lady might as well show your respect and let this child go."
The servant girl looked at Qiao Wei and sneered: "Did you hear that? It was your child who slammed into our carriage with no eyes! I'll forgive you if you don't get hurt, but my lady's head was smashed. Account, I must settle it with you!"
Qiao Wei glanced at Qiao Yuxi coldly: "I didn't expect you to be so despicable, even a child, I really overestimated you."
Qiao Yuxi turned her face away guiltily.
The officers who were patrolling nearby were startled by the huge movement, and the leader of the officers cupped their hands at the carriage: "May I ask which family is it? What happened?"
The servant girl snorted coldly: "We are from the General's Mansion, they hurt my young lady, so hurry up and arrest them!"
…
After leaving Qingfeng Street, Qiao Yuxi sat in the carriage, feeling guilty for the lies she told. She didn't really think about what would happen to the three of them, she was just too angry...
It's all caused by that woman, she's so good, why do you want to provoke her
Coax her well, isn't it over
She will give her daughter a hand when the carriage arrives, and she will also help her argue with the people in the General's Mansion. After all, with her current status, no matter which General's Mansion it is, she will be treated favorably.
She didn't do it because that woman pissed her off, it wasn't her fault, no, no...
"Miss, shall we go back to Enbo Mansion?" Xingzhu asked in a low voice.
Qiao Yuxi regained consciousness, touched her swollen cheeks, and said coldly, "Go to the prime minister's residence."
…
Mrs. Ji is admiring the flowers in the yard. All kinds of plum trees in the yard were planted by Ji Mingxiu when he was a child. His mother left early. Every year on the anniversary of his mother’s death, he would plant a plum tree. , After so many years, he has planted all kinds of plants in the yard, and they are a bit nondescript when matched, but the old lady likes them.
She likes the trees planted by her grandson.
"Madam, Miss Qiao is here." Mama Rong reported.
Mrs. Ji smiled kindly: "Please come in!"
Wearing a veil, Qiao Yuxi walked slowly into the courtyard, walked up to the old lady, and bowed gently: "Old lady."
The voice was weird, a little hoarse.
Mrs. Ji pulled her to sit down, and looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Why are you still wearing a veil?"
Qiao Yuxi didn't speak, she lowered her head, her eyes slowly turning red.
Mrs. Ji asked Xingzhu who was at the side: "What's wrong with your young lady?"
Xingzhu lowered her head in embarrassment: "Miss' face...is injured."
"Injured? Let me see!" Mrs. Ji lifted her veil, looked at her swollen left cheek, and her face instantly sank, "Who hit it?!"
Qiao Yuxi's tears began to roll in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let them fall: "I don't know her name."
"Then you know her?" Mrs. Ji asked in a deep voice.
Qiao Yuxi nodded with tears in her eyes: "I have dealt with you several times."
"Who the hell is that? Why did you hit you?" Mrs. Ji asked.
Qiao Yuxi bit her lips and remained silent.
Mrs. Ji asked Xiang Xingzhu coldly: "Come on!"
Thinking of those two lovely children, Xingzhu couldn't bear it, and said bravely, "It's Shiqi's friend."
Mrs. Ji was puzzled: "When did Seventeen have friends?" Isn't that child an idiot? Can't speak, can't communicate with anyone except meditation.
Xingzhu said: "It happened years ago. Speaking of which, there are still some misunderstandings between the young lady and that lady..."
Mrs. Ji interrupted Xingzhu: "Wait, is she a woman?"
"... yes, old lady." Xingzhu replied.
Mrs. Ji's gaze became subtle: "Go on, don't miss one thing!"
Xingzhu succinctly explained how Fang's mother bought Xiao Mink forcibly, how she slapped Mrs. Luo, and how she was rejected by Fang's mother: "...those things were all made by Fang's mother, and the lady was an afterthought. Only then did I know."
This was the truth, whether it was snatching ferrets or refusing a doctor, it was not Qiao Yuxi's original intention. Qiao Yuxi just failed to deal with it fairly afterwards. Of course, there is no need for the old lady to know this.
"Miss is very ashamed. I went to apologize to her, but she kicked me out." This paragraph is a bit watery. Qiao Yuxi went to visit Shiqi's friend, and when she went there, she found out that the other party was a mother and son who were rejected by the doctor, so she temporarily apologized , but this point, you can't let the old lady know.
"Where is the door?" Mrs. Ji's face became more and more ugly as she heard it.
"My lord's courtyard." Xingzhu said.
Mrs. Ji's complexion changed immediately: "Is she living in a courtyard house? Who brought her in?"
"...It's my lord." Xingzhu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji guessed something about it, and held Qiao Yuxi's hand: "Xi'er, does she have any unreasonable thoughts about meditation?"
Qiao Yuxi choked up and said, "Xi'er also overheard her conversation with Luzhu today, so I realized that she has always admired you..."
Mrs. Ji said coldly: "Admiration? Heh, a widow with a child, what right does she have to admire my grandson? I think she wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix!"
Qiao Yuxi said aggrievedly: "I revealed my identity to her, I hope she will restrain herself a little bit, and don't let outsiders know about it, and cause trouble for adults."
Mrs. Ji's face turned livid: "Is it because he is afraid that Yu Shi's pen is not long enough when he is talking to the widow? Then she hit you?"
Qiao Yuxi nodded.
"What a domineering widow! If Mingxiu really likes her, it's okay to accept her as the second wife, but she bullied the head of the main room before she even entered the house. What does she want? Do you want to rebel?" Mrs. Ji was angry. Hit one place, angry at the shameless widow, and feeling sorry for Qiao Yuxi, who had suffered a lot in vain, "Don't worry, I won't let Mingxiu take her in!"
Qiao Yuxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just now...something happened."
"What's up?"
"She ran into people in the general's mansion, and was arrested by the officials and sent to the Yamen." The word "arrest" is actually not very appropriate. The woman is very skilled, and more than a dozen officials can't get cheap in front of her. It was the officials who caught her. Son, she had no choice but to follow the official to the Yamen. Qiao Yuxi hesitated and said: "Old lady, it was the daughter of the general's mansion that she bumped into. I heard that the daughter's head was smashed. I am afraid the Yamen will not let her go easily. Look... Do you want to inform the adults to pick her up?" return?"
"Which General's Mansion?" Mrs. Ji asked.
Qiao Yuxi shook her head: "I don't know about that."
Mrs. Ji pondered for a moment: "It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, I think it's better to hide it from meditation."
Qiao Yuxi was secretly happy, but worried on the face: "She is in prison, if she reveals her identity as an adult..."
"She dares? Mother Rong!" Mrs. Ji slapped the table with her palm!
Mother Rong has been so angry with the old lady for a long time, she is really afraid that the old lady will be so angry: "What is the old lady's order?"
"You take my post to the yamen, is it the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion?" the old lady asked Qiao Yuxi.
Qiao Yuxi said: "Yes."
Mrs. Ji said solemnly: "Tell the people in Jingzhao Mansion that the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't know that woman, and neither does Mingxiu. She has nothing to do with our Prime Minister's Mansion. Tell the Yamen to handle it impartially!"
Rong's mother replied: "Yes."
…
In the hall, Jing Zhaoyin was trying Qiao Wei. Since the case was reported by the General's Mansion, they did not dare to neglect him, but this person came from Qingfeng Street, and the people who lived there were all the top dignitaries of the Liang Dynasty. I'm afraid she still has some background.
"What did you go to Qingfeng Street for?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.
Qiao Wei said seriously: "Give something to a friend."
Jing Zhaoyin said with a tone: "What kind of friend? Who's the name, where do you live? You'd better explain everything in detail, otherwise if the officer finds out that you are lying, the crime will be aggravated, and you will eat in prison It's not over!"
"Meditation, No. 69, Qingfeng Street."
"Ming, Xiu?" Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair! Hurry up and ask the master to open the "household registration book". When he turned to No. 69 Qingfeng Street, he really saw a familiar name, but it was not Ji Mingxiu, but Ji Wan.
Of course, this does not prevent Jing Zhaoyin from continuing to be frightened. Who is Ji Wan? That is the sister of Ji Mingxiu's mother and compatriots!
Darling, this woman really knows the prime minister!
She, she also called the prime minister to meditate...
What is the relationship between the two
When Jing Zhaoyin was too frightened, an official came in hastily, handed the post in his hand to Jing Zhaoyin, and whispered something in Jing Zhaoyin's ear.
"She really said that?" Jing Zhaoyin gave Qiao Wei a strange look.
The official said: "Yes, Mrs. Ji asked us to handle it fairly."
In this way, the old lady wants to deal with this girl.
The prime minister is well known in the capital for being filial to grandma. If it weren't for someone older than the prime minister, it would be this old lady.
Turning his mind around, Jing Zhaoyin slapped the gavel on the table heavily: "Come on! Put her in jail for me!"
