Chapter 78

The green calyx of luomeiyuan is in full bloom. The green calyx, white petals and slender stamens stand in the petals, and the top is a little yellow, which is very pleasing to the eye.

However, Mrs. Ji was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the hospital. She went on a hunger strike again and leaned ill on the cane chair with a sigh.

Rong's mother filled the small square table with delicately prepared dishes: Rose bittern, steamed wax gourd meatballs, crystal jelly, sweet cherry, Sixi dumplings, white four treasures, Luohan prawns Can go up all go up, even Zhang Taiyi says taboo all ignored temporarily.

At present, how to coax the ancestor to eat is the top priority.

"Madam, the young master ordered the cooks to make these. You see, the young master still remembers your taste." Rong's mother said with a smile.

This is no longer working!

Old lady Ji didn't lift her eyelids. She hummed coldly: "don't mention that unfilial guy to me. He won't come back to have dinner with me. He's grown up and has the ability to disappear for a whole year. No matter how old I am, I'll stay away from me when I come back. I know he hates me!"

Ji Mingxiu outside the yard has no choice but to look at the sky.

Rong mother continued to advise: "look what you said, where can the young master avoid you? Who doesn't know that you love young master most in the whole mansion? The young master knew that he was just too busy. Didn't you say that too? When he went out for a whole year, he had to deal with all the things that had been delayed up and down the court, didn't he? "

"Look at him! To him, eh? " Mrs. Ji's eyes were rolling.

Rong's mother didn't know what to say.

Ji Mingxiu called a servant girl who was carrying a fruit tray and was walking in: "go and ask the old lady, how can I eat?"

The servant girl answered the voice and gave a salute to old lady Ji: "old lady, how can you eat?"

When Mrs. Ji knew that her little grandson was hiding outside listening to the corner of the wall, she deliberately raised her voice: "go and call Xi'er to have dinner with me!"

After a long time, I still didn't give up to match him with Qiao Yuxi.

When empress Cheng referred to marriage, she meant Qiao Zheng's daughter, not Qiao Yueshan's daughter. If Qiao Zheng's daughter didn't get married, he recognized the marriage. But what's the matter with Qiao Yuxi now?

Ji Mingxiu gave a faint smile and turned out of the house.

Ming An knows that his master is bothering Qiao Qianjin, so is he. If it wasn't for her, could he be beaten by him?

"Master, look What should we do now? "

Ji Mingxiu sneered: "what can I do? Hurry up and get someone to coax the old lady to eat. "

Ming An sighs. The master has no mother since he was a child. He was brought up by the old lady and her aunt. In the master's heart, what he couldn't bear to hurt is the two of them. If he wasn't afraid to annoy the old lady, the master would not have taken a look at laoshizi's family!

The carriage of the prime minister's house stops at the door of the house. Ming An gets out of the car and says what he wants to do. The boy who guards the door seems to see a ghost and runs into the house.

Since her brother cut a picture of longevity last time, it was too late for Qiao Yuxi to embroider another one. As a last resort, she went to the lady of xiulou to embroider on her behalf. Of course, she didn't do it at all, but just embroidered some auspicious clouds in the corners.

Embroidering, embroidering, listening to people report, the Prime Minister arrived, she was happy to kick over the stool, quickly put down the needle and thread, took a look in the mirror, to make sure that she was shining, then she went out of the yard with her skirt.

On the way, I met Qiao Yuqi and Xu.

Xu just came over from Mrs. Qiao, but he didn't know Ji Mingxiu was coming. Seeing his daughter walking out in high spirits, he asked, "what's the matter?"

Qiao Yuqi said with disdain, "what else can I do? It's time to go to the prime minister's office to curry favor with others! "

Qiao Yuxi raised his chin: "I'm in a good mood today. I don't care about you." Then he looked at Xu and said with a happy smile, "my Lord has come to take me to the prime minister's house."

Xu's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "are you serious?"

Qiao Yuxi shyly smile: "I went to my mother first, and I'll talk to you later."

Xu nodded and patted her hand: "go quickly, don't make the adults wait for a long time!"

Qiao Yuxi went with a full face.

"I'll go too!" Qiao Yuqi wants to make trouble, but Xu grabs her back.

Xu nodded at his head and said angrily, "you can bully your sister at ordinary times. Don't make me go to the prime minister and make people see jokes!"

Qiao Yuqi's mouth turned and her eyes turned white.

……

Qiao Yuxi went outside the house and looked at the gorgeous man in front of the carriage. His heart was filled with a burst of unspeakable excitement and joy.

She went up to him, raised her head, and gazed at him deeply: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Ji Mingxiu said faintly, "thank you so much, Miss Qiao. Everything is fine."

He was satisfied to hear his voice like this. Qiao Yuxi didn't care about the politeness and alienation in his words. He said shyly, "adult, please come to the mansion.""No, the old lady is still waiting for dinner."

It turns out that Mrs. Ji helped her. It seems that she was right to try her best to please her a few days ago. When she comes back from the prime minister's office, she is bound to ask her mother for more money and go to the town to buy some big cans of eggs.

She gathered up her thoughts and said with a smile, "I'll get on the bus first."

Ji Mingxiu nodded lightly, and Qiao Yuxi got into the carriage.

Along the way, in order not to appear frivolous, Qiao Yuxi remained reserved and didn't speak. However, he couldn't help picking a corner of the driving curtain and looking at the man on the horseback. Although he was wearing a mask, he was still very beautiful. He was perfect everywhere. He was born in a family and valued as prime minister. How many women dream of such a man The object of her pursuit is about to become her husband.

It was a fine day. Qiao Wei washed the sheets and quilt covers, took out the wadding and dried it on the rope. Later, she found that there was not much firewood in the firewood room, and went to the mountain to collect firewood. It hasn't rained for many days. There are still plenty of dry firewood on the mountain. She has a big bundle on her back.

Now the body has been trained. It's nothing to do with carrying firewood.

Not only that, she can also free two hands to carry the cage.

The prey has been cheated more and more times, and gradually learned to be smart. It's not as easy to be hooked as it was a year ago. Sometimes it's three or five days before one can't be hunted, but today, I'm lucky to hunt a silly roe deer!

The roe deer is not big. It looks like it's 50 Jin by sight. It's still alive. The cage is too small for it to get in, but its feet are stuck in the crevice. How else can it be said that it's a silly roe deer? After half a year of hunting, for the first time, such a huge animal came to compete with rabbits and chickens.

It should sell for one or two liang silver.

The roe deer threw an innocent look at Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei sneered: "don't be coquettish with me. I'm short of money and I'm crazy recently, so I sold Xiaobai!"

The silly roe deer turned away from her face.

Qiao Wei, with firewood on her back and a silly roe deer in front of her, went back to the yard with a puff.

"Help..."

"Help..."

"Help..."

On the way, Qiao Wei heard the call for help. It seemed that there was no such call. It was not true.

Jovi stopped and looked around. She didn't find anyone. Is it Is it an illusion?

"Help..."

The cry for help came again. It seemed to be a woman.

Qiao Wei frowned, put down the silly roe deer, tied the rope to a tree, put down the dry wood on her back, and asked warily, "who? Who's calling for help? "

It's me

Mother Wang's throat made a voice she couldn't hear.

At this time, she was hanging on a vine. The vine stretched straight down from the edge of the hillside and hung in the air. Under it, I didn't know how high it was. Anyway, at a glance, she shivered all over the fields and rivers.

Why did it happen like this has to start from last night. According to Liu Cuihua's instructions, she walked straight along the path and turned left when she came to the fork of the road. What made her angry was that she didn't find the yard of the eldest lady at all. The more she walked, the more devious she was. Finally, she met a wolf.

She was scared to death, and quickly climbed to the tree. She was old enough to climb the tree. She didn't have to work too hard.

The wolf couldn't eat her and left after walking around.

But the nightmare is not over.

It turns out that the wolf didn't give up on her, but went back to move the rescue soldiers. It called a group of wolves, and they jumped up. Several times, she felt that they were going to bite her ass, and they fell down again.

So I do not know how long, the wolves finally left.

This time, they never came back.

Later, she knew the reason why they didn't come back. It turned out that a tiger had come.

At that time, she had already fallen to the ground. It was impossible for her to climb up, so she ran forward with all her life. As a result, she fell off the cliff.

Fortunately, the moment she fell down, she caught a vine, which did not break to pieces immediately.

But she's been holding on for so long that she can't hold on.

I don't know what the hell this is. She cried for help all night, but no one heard.

It must be Liu Cuihua who gave her blind directions that made her so bad!

If she can live up, see if she does not tear Liu Cuihua to pieces!

"Anybody? Who's calling for help? "

Not far away, Qiao Wei's voice came.

Mother Wang is full of tears -

someone!

Miss!

Here is the maid!

Save the maidservant -

"is there anyone?"

Qiao Wei looked around and came over. She didn't see a half figure when she came to the edge of the cliff: "did you hear me wrong? No one answers me. "

Mother Wang was so anxious that she burst into tears! it's me! I'm down there! Help me!

She opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound at all.Qiaowei craned her neck and looked: "no one, I'm leaving!"

Mother Wang is so anxious that she can't wait for the next person to come. She can't let the young lady go!

She tried to open her voice and scream, barely making a little hiss.

It's a strange voice. It's human like and it's not human like.

Qiao Wei had been chased by tigers. She was afraid that there might be beasts nearby. She stepped back to the roe deer vigilantly. If it was really a beast, she would throw the roe deer over: "if it's a human, talk!"

Mother Wang hissed.

The more I listen, the more I feel. I don't know whether it's a snake or a beast.

Qiao Wei picked up the silly roe deer: "if you can't speak, clap your hands. I'll count to one, two, three. If you don't clap, I'll be nobody! 1、 2. - "

Mother Wang quickly stretched out her hand, one, two -

boom -

fell off the cliff

Qiao Wei didn't wait for a response. She carried the firewood on her back and went back to the yard with a silly roe deer in her arms.

After tying the roe deer to the tree with a rope, Qiao Wei went back to the house.

Taking into account the money of aunt Luo and Cuiyun, she has 365 Liang on hand. This is a sum of money that she didn't even dare to think of when she first came here. But now, some of it is not enough. This land needs 500 Liang. Building a house is another calculation. In the end, there is probably no 600 Liang or 700 Liang that can't do it.

Money, money, why don't you always earn enough?

In the afternoon, Qiao Wei made another 200 preserved eggs and pasted the date on the outside of the jar. Before sunset, she went to the East Village to have a look. Sorghum seeds usually sprout in five days. She would look at them every day to see if they sprout.

At night, the children all went to sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark roof, thinking about what other ways to make money. She didn't choose the slow and less, and the fast and more was better.

Thinking, falling asleep

The next day, she still sent the children to the old scholar's "private school". There were more children here than before. Because there was no money, everyone could afford to study. After Jing Yun got the little Tanhua of the prodigy test, there were more people who wanted to study here. But the old scholar didn't refuse to come. He would also choose. He didn't want to be too naughty. He was afraid of influence Learning from Jing Yun and Wang Shu.

"If I go to grandma's for lunch, my mother will come back later." She has a roe deer to deal with. If she is lucky, she can sell it soon. If she is not lucky, it will take some time.

The two steamed buns nodded obediently. Wangshu asked, "does mother want to sell the deer?"

She can't bear to say that she actually wants to raise one. The fawn will turn white when it gets angry. It's so cute.

Qiaowei touched her head: "can't Wangshu give up?"

Wang Shu nodded.

The girl really can't walk when she sees a small animal. Qiao Wei pretends to be in a deep voice: "then she has to sell Xiaobai."

Xiaobai instant hair!

Wangshu duzui'er: "then you'd better sell the fawn."

Qiao Wei took roe deer and snacks and went to town in shuanzi dad's carriage.

She started late today and arrived in Rongji late. It's almost noon, but Rongji doesn't make it early, so she's at peace.

She got out of the car with two big food boxes. As soon as she came in, she heard boss Rong's roar: "what do you do for food? What are you doing, huh? I can't do a little thing well! How many times have I told you! There's a reservation for a rich banquet today. What are you doing? Don't you know how to prepare in advance? Don't tell me you can't cook until the guests come! Why didn't I tell you I couldn't pay you when I paid you? Ah? "

This is the first time that Qiao Wei has seen boss Rong get so angry. It's like a changed person. She can't see the usual smile.

After staying in Rongji for a long time, Qiao Wei naturally heard that the rich banquet is a kind of food with the highest specification in Rongji. It is composed of eight meat, eight vegetables, three soup and two meters. Among them, the vegetable dish is not the turnip and green vegetable sold on the market, but a variety of wild mushrooms, with seasonal vegetables. Rice is white rice and black rice, and soup is the food that flies in the sky, swims in the sea and runs on the ground Similarly, meat dishes need not be mentioned. They are also very particular.

Due to the special ingredients, the rich and noble banquet needs to be reserved, but most people can't afford it. Those who can afford it are those who are rich or noble, and they are also the most difficult to serve.

Boss Rong was so angry that he wanted to open a ladle on everyone's head: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"

Qiao Wei put the snack on the counter: "what's the matter, boss Rong?"

"What else? You ask these guys! " Boss Rong is so angry that he doesn't want to say a word.

Xiao Liu came over and said cautiously, "there is a dish in the rich banquet made of tofu, but the cook forgot to make the fresh tofu he bought today. What do you say, little Qiao? The guests have come and are sitting upstairs. "

"Can't you change course?" Asked Qiao Wei.

Xiao Liu sighed: "it's for this dish that the guests order the rich banquet."

Rich and willful! For a little tofu, spend a hundred taels of silver to eat a table of wine and vegetables, just don't be too envious!In order to collect enough money to buy land, her hair is almost white, OK!

"Can't buy tofu outside?" Qiao Wei asked.

Xiao Liu shakes his head.

It's almost noon. The vegetables have been sold out. It's OK to make them now, but it's too late.

Isn't it a tofu? She doesn't believe other dishes can't replace it?

Qiao Wei clapped her hands and said to Xiao Liu, "take me to the kitchen."

Small six took a look at his boss, let the boss angry, but did not say anything against, small six busy will Qiaowei to the kitchen.

Just to the door, two silly with a big bowl happily ran out: "I found tofu! I found tofu! "

Head on rushed to a stink, small six disliked to cover his nose: "two fool, you are really stupid! It's been hundreds of years? It stinks! How dare you take it out? "

There are some problems in the brain of the second fool. He just does some work in the kitchen, chopping firewood to carry water. He heard that the boss is looking for tofu, and he also helps to find it. It took him half a day to find this in the jar.

Of course, he forgot to make and throw them, but he didn't know that they were tofu, so he brought them.

Xiao Liu waved his sleeve and said: "throw it away! It's killing me

"Oh." The two fools bowed their heads in disappointment.

"Wait a minute." Qiaowei put the big bowl in her hand and said with a smile, "this is a good thing. How can I lose it?"

Xiao Liu looked at Qiao Wei in disbelief: "Xiao Qiao, you are not joking with us, are you? This This Is this stinky thing still a good thing? "

Sister Xiao Qiao is so poor that she can only eat stinky tofu.

How popular is stinky tofu in modern times, little brother, do you know? There are people waiting in line to buy it! To throw it away is outrageous!

Qiao Wei will stinky tofu into the kitchen, with water to wash off the white mold above, cut into a small box on the bowl.

Stinky tofu is so smelly that no one dares to come in. Xiao Liu covers his nose with his sleeve and looks at Qiao Wei with a smile on his face. He is so ignorant that he can't speak.

The cooks naturally smelled the odor and came to see the excitement one after another. They were choked by the odor.

Qiao Wei washed several red peppers and green peppers, chopped them into small pieces, and fried them with ginger, garlic, marinade and soybean sauce. In another pot, the oil was boiling hot. Qiao Wei put the stinky tofu into the oil pot one by one, fried it until it was scorched, then fished it up and put it on the plate one by one, then sprinkled with a layer of previously fried sauce, sprinkled with a few pieces of chives and coriander. The stinky tofu with unique taste is finished!

She carried a plate of stinky tofu to the crowd, who were scared to run!

It's so smelly. It'll kill you if you eat it!

That pot, they also decided not to!

Qiao Wei has to take the stinky tofu into boss Rong's accounting room. Boss Rong sees the figure: "Xiao Qiao Vomit - "

boss Rong, who smelled the stench, covered his chest and felt a bout of retching.

Qiao Wei put the plate on his table with a smile: "how about a taste, boss Rong?"

"No, no!" Let the boss hold his nose and wave his hand.

Qiaowei squints a smile and presses him on the chair, allowing the boss Liu Fufeng to be weak. Qiaowei is as powerful as an ox, and he can't move when he is pressed by Qiaowei.

Qiao Wei took a piece of stinky tofu with her chopsticks: "here, try it."

No!

Don't die!

Let the boss shut up, would rather die than surrender!

Qiao Wei pinches him on the shoulder --

"ah --" boss Rong screams in pain. Qiao Wei shoves stinky tofu into his mouth, grabs his sleeve and covers his mouth.

Mr. Rong was loveless. He pitifully ate the stinky tofu in his mouth. After eating it, he cried all over.

Small six see their own boss tears from the accounting room, afraid to ask: "boss, what's the matter with you?"

Mr. Rong's face was full of tears: "Wuwu It's delicious... "

On the second floor of Rongji, in the most elegant wing room, there are two extraordinary distinguished guests. One of them is only twenty-four or five years old. His face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a star, and his thick eyebrows fly into his temples. He is not as handsome as an ordinary man. He is tall and strong, and his temperament is cool and noble. Even in this small wing room, he can feel the powerful and noble atmosphere of this person.

Next to the young man sat a rough man in his forties, with a beard and a lot of weight.

Although the identity of a big man is no more dignified than that of a young man, he is sitting in the right seat today. It is obvious that the other party is flattering him.

"Is Liu Ye satisfied with his food?" The young man asked calmly.

Sixth master put the last piece of stinky tofu into his mouth and closed his eyes happily: "damn! I've been eating a good dish until now! "

The young man originally brought him to eat Rongji's famous Songhua egg mixed with tofu. By the way, he ordered a rich banquet. However, other dishes didn't catch his eye. On the contrary, a plate of stinking tofu was full of praise.

It's a horse with a saddle, a man with food.The young man quietly picked up his tea cup and took a sip of tea slowly: "what did the sixth master think about last time? If I'm not satisfied with the conditions, I'll do what I can

Sixth master is still savoring this plate of stinky and spicy tofu: "Damn it! It's delicious! Call the cook! Six Ye have a reward

The young man nodded to Mo guard.

Mo turned and went downstairs.

As soon as boss Rong heard that it was a reward, he asked Qiao Wei to go.

Qiao Wei is short of money. She won't refuse to accept the reward. For those who can afford the rich banquet, how about five Liang silver? If you want to be a little sweeter, you'll get it.

Qiao Wei really didn't think that getting a reward could bring something out.

Six Ye originally sincerely wanted to reward the cook. He even took out the Yuan Bao, two tablets in total, a total of ten Liang. Of course, the young man would not let him spend money. He asked him to take back the money and take out a big Yuan Bao himself.

But neither of them expected that a woman would come in, or a young and beautiful woman.

Qiao Wei came in and gave a poor blessing: "little one, please send greetings to the two masters!"

On hearing this, the young man stopped: "look up."

Qiao Wei raises her head and looks at the other side. The other side is also looking at him. In a moment when her eyes are opposite, Qiao Wei recognizes him. Isn't this the iceberg handsome guy who ran to the mountain last time and asked her for two bowls of water and was killed by him?

Yin King's face slightly sank down, looked at the six Ye beside him, a trace of complexity passed in his eyes.

Six Ye's eyes have grown on Qiao Wei since she came in. Oh, is it a tofu beauty? Look at the waist and face, tut Tut, more attractive than those women in his backyard!

The sixth master is delicious and lustful. He eats more and plays more, but he has fewer eyes. Today, this dish is rare to eat in his heart. This little beauty is unforgettable.

"What's your name?" Six Ye bad smile.

As soon as Qiao Wei looks at his wretched appearance, she knows that the money is not enough today. She doesn't want to talk with him now, so she turns around and goes out the door.

The sixth master quickly stood up, ran to her and stopped her: "Hey, girl, don't go now. Aren't you here to get a reward? The sixth master has a lot of silver here. I'll give it to you. " He said and took out a purse from his wide sleeve.

Qiao Wei light smile: "give me all? Are you sure? "

"Of course." Six ye once pulled her weak boneless small hand, that slippery tactile feeling, straight made him beautiful to beat shiver!

Qiao Wei looked at the salty pig hand and said with a smile, "is it comfortable?"

Six Ye enjoy a smile: "comfortable, too comfortable!"

Qiao Wei's smile remained unchanged: "do you want to More comfortable? "

King Yin's face sank and clapped on the table!

Qiao Wei didn't lift her eyelids, and sixth master ignored him even more. Sixth master's heart was fascinated by this charming little beauty: "how can you make me comfortable? The sixth master tells you that if you are comfortable with the sixth master, all the silver will be yours. "

Qiao Wei said meaningfully: "then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

Then he clasped the palm of his hand and fell over his shoulder to the ground!

Yin Wang Tong Ren slightly shrinks and pinches the cup in his hand.

Qiao Wei snatched the money bag in the sixth master's hand and sneered: "is it comfortable, sixth master?"

The sixth master was heartbroken with pain and glared at her fiercely: "smelly girl, how dare you throw me? Do you know who your sixth grandfather is? "

Qiao Wei picks eyebrows: "do you know who your aunt is?"

"You..." Six masters seven smoke.

Qiao Wei stepped on his chest and looked down at him: "I don't want to make trouble in Rongji. I'll let you go today. Next time, do you believe me to make you a father-in-law?"

Six Ye ferocious facial features: "you dare?"

Qiao Wei kicked him: "do you dare me?"

"Stop it Yin Wang Li drinks.

Qiao Wei cheated Yinwang for ten liang of silver. Originally, she had a good impression on him, but at this time he was with this kind of pork man. It's just that birds of a feather flock together. It can be seen that this handsome guy is not a good thing!

The sixth master gritted his teeth: "Master Wang, catch her!"

This guy is a prince?

Qiao Wei oddly looked at King Yin, a prince. How did she wander into the mountains?

Look at the guard Mo, wait, it's not in the examination room The guy who fights with Xiaobai?

She remembers that this guy is king Yin's person. Could it be that without waiting for Qiao Wei to read out the answer in her heart, Mo guard has already called her over. Last time, he ate something in Qiao Wei's hands. This time, he has to find the place!

However, Qiao Wei had already prepared. In the moment when the sixth master let King Yin catch her, she had already pulled out the dagger, turned around, and thrust neatly into Mo guard's shoulder!Mo guard fell to the ground.

Yin Wang jumps up, falls in front of Qiao Wei, and makes friends with Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei has seen the skill of Yin Wang, and knows that he can't make a move in his hand. His mind is really bad, and he has to peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

But to her surprise, the king of Yin didn't kill her completely. A move seemed fatal, but it could just be avoided by her.

This guy Is it draining?

King Yin forces Qiao Wei to the window, grabs Qiao Wei and flies out with one palm!

Qiao Wei fell on the top of the carriage. The carriage took off most of her strength. When she fell to the ground again, it was not so serious.

Qiao Wei takes a look at Yin Wang upstairs. Yin Wang looks at her deeply, but she can't see her thoughts. Qiao Wei covers her sore arm and runs to Qinglong gang.

The sixth master is not a good one. Seeing that the little girl ran away, he immediately whistled out of the window and several shadows came in: "sixth master!"

The sixth master was furious and said, "go and catch that girl for me! Don't die, live

"Yes

Several shadows fly out with their lightness skills.

It's worthy of being the sixth master. He has left a good hand. The martial arts of these people are not inferior to that of the green guards.

The Mou light of Yin king is tiny a dark: "I also look for."

Six Ye nodded: "thank you, Wang Ye."

King Yin went downstairs. He knew the direction of Qiao Wei's escape, and caught up with her in three or two steps.

Qiao Wei looked at the green dragon Gang not far away: "big -"

before she finished her word, she was covered by King Yin!
