Chapter 177

"Leaf, are you really okay?" Li Hongmei asked tremblingly.

"It's all right. He just scares me. He doesn't really want to kill me. Like those people who came before, he just wants to inquire about the whereabouts of Baoshan."

"Ah?" Li Hongmei was stunned and frightened.

Since the man came to ask about the whereabouts of Baoshan, he could bear it for so long. He came to buy snacks and all kinds of hospitality every day, but his real purpose was not revealed until today.

I don't know if there are such people around. It's too dangerous.

What on earth did Baoshan commit outside? How could so many people come to seek revenge?

……

As soon as Li Chengru returned to the inn, he smashed things hard.

Feng Sheng can't stop him.

Finally, he simply smashed it, and it's a big deal to lose money.

Li Chengru smashed everything that could be smashed in the house. He didn't even let go of the stools and chairs. He smashed it all over the floor.

Hit tired, just paralyzed and fell into bed motionless.

Fengsheng knew at a glance that Li Chengru's plan had either failed or encountered a bottleneck.

Look, how did he persuade you? This method is not feasible. It's better to put the knife on Ye Xiaoxian's neck and force Ye Xiaoxian to say it directly. Otherwise, they will kidnap the people around Ye Xiaoxian, such as Li Hongmei.

Isn't there a little boy in their family? Tie up the little boy, too. He doesn't believe Ye Xiaoxian won't say.

Li Chengru lay for a long time. He didn't get up until the afternoon. The whole person was not angry at all.

"Feng Sheng, that woman knows everything. She saw through our purpose at the beginning, but she didn't say it, but she kept watching us act silently. Later, I put a knife on her neck to kill her, but she refused to recruit. The waiter here is right. She is really invulnerable and doesn't eat hard or soft."

"..." Fengsheng was surprised.

At the same time, I thought: young master, how shameless should he be after acting alone for so long?

Half of his anger was that ye Xiaoxian was so angry that he lost face, and half of his anger was that he didn't ask about the whereabouts of xiaobaoshan.

Feng Sheng sighed helplessly. The master's self-esteem suffered multiple blows?

"Childe, it's not your plan that doesn't work, but that woman is too cunning." Feng Sheng only came up with such a comforting word.

Li Chengru continued to lie in bed.

"Feng Sheng, I won't go back to the capital. Anyway, I have to ask about the whereabouts of xiaobaoshan. I don't believe I can't open the woman's mouth!"

……

In a twinkling of an eye, Liu Qianqian's happy day came.

Their marriage was originally scheduled for last month, but later the fortune teller said that their fates were somewhat contradictory and needed to be delayed, so it has been delayed until now.

Liu Qianqian is a famous young lady in Qinghe County. Liu's family is also a big family. Naturally, the Liu family can't marry a woman hastily. I heard that a total of 30 tables were invited for this banquet.

The banquet of such a large family is usually arranged by the family cook, but both Liu Yuanwai and Liu Qianqian think that since the banquet is ready, it can't be done rashly. It's best to let the guests have a good time.

Liu Qianqian wants Ye Xiaoxian to be the chef of the banquet. Ye Xiaoxian agrees without thinking.

Member Liu's family is a married woman. She only needs to host a banquet once. Ye Xiaoxian went to help the day before yesterday to prepare the ingredients, pickle what should be pickled, fry what should be fried, and prepare the accessories one by one.

He was busy until the evening and was about to go back to rest. Liu Qianqian's maid asked Ye Xiaoxian that Liu Qianqian wanted to talk to her.

Ye Xiaoxian went to Liu Qianqian's boudoir.

Liu Qianqian and Jia Zhenbo are very affectionate during this period. They write a letter to each other every day and tell each other their heartfelt feelings. Occasionally, they go out to have tea together. But at the moment of marriage, Liu Qianqian is hypocritical again and says that they are very nervous.

It's nothing more than how to get along with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law after marriage. He's worried that he won't run a family, and that Jia Zhenbo will take a concubine after his freshness passes.

What ye Xiaoxian replied most was a sentence: "how could it be? You should believe him and have confidence."

Women in this era follow the rooster and the dog. If Jia Zhenbo is bad, ye Xiaoxian doesn't know who Liu Qianqian should marry. Besides, Liu Qianqian has reached the age of marriage. If he doesn't marry out, he will be discussed about right and wrong in the future.

Ye Xiaoxian also taught Liu Qianqian that she must collect the dowry she brought in the past, especially the land lease of tianwu. These incomes are all his private money. Only when she is strong, others dare not despise her.

Unconsciously, she talked with Liu Qianqian late at night. Ye Xiaoxian didn't know when she fell asleep. Anyway, she slept with Liu Qianqian in Liu Qianqian's boudoir all night.

The next day, Jia Zhenbo's matchmaker arrived and had to help Liu Qianqian make up and wear wedding clothes early in the morning.

Ye Xiaoxian is going back to the kitchen to do her own business.

You can vaguely see the scene in the front yard in the back kitchen yard. When ye Xiaoxian came out to explain how the Kitchen helpers cut vegetables, she suddenly looked up and saw a figure she knew.

Li Chengru?

Why is he here? Did Liu Yuanwai invite him?

When did he hang out with Liu Yuanwai?

Since he put a knife to her neck that day, she had not seen him for many days. She thought he had left Qinghe County. Unexpectedly, he was still in the county.

What the hell does he want to stay for? Doesn't he give up and want to find out the whereabouts of xiaobaoshan from the people she knows?

However, Li Chengru's figure disappeared in a flash, and ye Xiaoxian continued to busy herself.

……

Li Chengru's gift was very special and valuable. It was a colorful starling bird. As soon as the cloth on the cage was opened, the bird said to Liu Yuanwai, "a hundred years of good marriage".

It made member Liu and the guests laugh.

The bird then said, "live a long life."

Liu Yuanwai couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

Liu likes to walk birds in his spare time. There are several precious birds at home. Now Li Chengru has sent another one, and he is very happy.

After receiving the bird, Liu introduced it to the guests nearby: "this little brother is my new friend. I didn't expect that he could train birds. We immediately formed a friendship of forgetting years, ha ha ha!"

Someone asked, "that is to say, the little brother can speak bird language?"

"No, ha ha ha!" Liu Yuanwai liked and admired Li Chengru very much.

Li Chengru feels strange, but he knows that people in this remote place speak like this, and he doesn't care. Besides, he doesn't want to leave Qinghe County. He always has to meet some people here, otherwise he has no reason to stay here for a long time.

When member Liu went to receive other guests, Li Chengru and Fengsheng found a seat and sat down.

Fengsheng quietly said to Li Chengru, "according to my subordinates, the chef of this banquet is ye, the little lady of the Xiao family."

Li Chengru "cut" for a while and then thought contemptuously: is there no one who can cook in this place? Any woman can make a banquet? Isn't the woman surnamed ye a snack maker? Can you cook?

There are more and more guests, and the banquet is very noisy. People here talk with their necks pulled. I hope everyone can hear him. Li Chengru only thinks these people are very vulgar.

After sitting for half an hour, I finally waited until the banquet began.

At the beginning, I served a plate of fried pork. Unexpectedly, the quality of the pork is very good, which makes people have an appetite.

Li Chengru grew up in the capital. He hasn't eaten anything good, let alone a plate of meat?

This meat is delicious. Few people can really make it very delicious. They are either too fat, or the thin part is too firewood, or the skin is not crisp enough. They don't want to eat half of it.

Li Chengru doesn't like to eat meat. Even if he eats it, he only eats the skin and thin part. The fat part should be thrown away.

Li Chengru was lazy and didn't want to move chopsticks. Feng Sheng moved them first.

As a result, when Feng took the first bite of raw meat, he shouted excitedly, "childe, this button meat... This button meat is really delicious. Really, I don't believe you try it. I've never eaten this delicious button meat."

"As for?" Li Chengru glanced at Feng Sheng: "leaving the capital, a piece of meat will make you so excited?"

But not only Feng Sheng, but also the people at the same table took meat clasps and called it delicious. Seeing that the bowl of pork was half gone in the blink of an eye, Fengsheng quickly sandwiched a piece for Li Chengru. He was worried that his master would not be able to eat it late.

At ordinary times, Li Chengru must be angry.

I was angry when I had dinner with a bunch of people I didn't know. These people can't speak etiquette. They all wolf down and are so vulgar.

But thinking that ye Xiaoxian did it, he took a bite in disbelief.

As a result, he was stunned by the bite. The skin of the meat is crisp and sour. The fat part is not greasy at all, and the thin part is not firewood at all. It melts in the mouth. The meat with plum is delicious and appetizing.

Li Chengru ate one piece unconsciously. When he wanted to hold another chopstick, the bowl of meat was gone.

Then there was a plate of white cut chicken. This time, Li Chengru took the initiative to rob a piece of chicken without waiting for Fengsheng to clip it to him, so as not to rob the meat part.

Dip the sliced chicken in a little garlic sauce on the table and put it in your mouth. The smell of chicken suddenly comes to your nose. The chicken skin is crispy and the chicken is fresh and tender, which can meet the taste buds to a great extent.

Li Chengru took the lead in every dish that followed.

The people at the table were surprised. It seems that such a noble childe didn't care about anything when he grabbed the dishes.

Li Chengru was very satisfied with this meal. Since he left the capital, it was his fullest meal.

Unfortunately, I only tasted a little of everything. There were too many people. If only the woman could make a table for him herself.

Bah, bah, how could that woman cook a meal for him himself? His plan didn't succeed at all.

……

Wang Xiucai also came with Qin Qingqing today. Qin Qingqing looks like she's pregnant and her stomach is a little prominent. She's in the female guest area. Wang Xiucai wanders to the back kitchen for some reason.

Wang Xiucai should have come for ye Xiaoxian. After a long absence, Wang Xiucai has changed a lot. There is no freshness and vulgarity on his face when he was not married.

He grew a beard, gained some weight, and his stomach was a little prominent. In modern terms, it was "beginning to look greasy".

"Leaves." When Wang Xiucai and ye Xiaoxian cleaned up, they didn't seem so confident.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled at him and asked, "Mr. Wang, why are you here? There is heavy oil smoke here. You should sit in the guest area."

"I know. I'll go in a minute." Wang Xiucai should have something to say. After waiting for a while, he found Ye Xiaoxian's less busy space and said, "Ye, I heard that your family's Baofeng is going to take the test for children?"

"Yes, how did Mr. Wang know?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

"I visited the dean of their academy the other day. The dean said." Wang Xiucai smiled. He also had a lot of meat on his face. With such a smile, he was even more vulgar. He was no different from the men in the county who became relatives and sat at home eating and drinking.

"What about you? It's said that the autumn test will be after the children's test. Will you go to Beijing for the test?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

Wang Xiucai suddenly smiled in shame.

Perhaps this is why Wang Xiucai looks old.

Seeing his figure, I knew that he had already given up reading and accepted the arrangement of his family. He was ready to rely on his family's industry all his life and grow old with his wife and children.

He said with a smile, "the hope of Qinghe County may be on your family Baofeng. I have no hope."

"I hope so." Ye Xiaoxian said.

After a long time of not meeting, they didn't have much common topic after all. They were embarrassed when they didn't talk much.

Wang Xiucai returned to the guest area, and ye Xiaoxian had finished her kitchen work. She didn't want to go to the women's guest area, so she ate with the Kitchen helpers in the back kitchen.

When the auspicious hour arrived, the sedan chair that the bridegroom came to greet the bride arrived. Ye Xiaoxian hurried to look at it.

Liu Qianqian was dressed in a red wedding dress with a red cap on her head and was helped out of her boudoir by the matchmaker.

Ye Xiaoxian can't see her, but after chatting all night last night, ye Xiaoxian knows that Liu Qianqian must be running for happiness.

She silently said in her heart: Qianqian, you must be happy.

……

Leaving member Liu's house, ye Xiaoxian ran into Li Chengru again.

She walked through the back door. She couldn't have happened to meet Li Chengru.

Li Chengru must have waited for her here on purpose.

Li Chengru didn't go away with his original love plan, and there was no need to pretend to be polite. He stared at Ye Xiaoxian as soon as he saw her. Like seeing her for the first time, he wanted to swallow her.

Ye Xiaoxian glanced at him faintly and didn't intend to ignore him. She just walked forward.

Li Chengru followed up and stopped Ye Xiaoxian in front.

"Childe Li, as I said, I don't know where Xiao Baoshan is. Don't you believe me? Xiao Baoshan once told me that he would never fail me in his life. As a result, he left. If you find him, please ask for me why he did this? If you can't ask, you can kill him for me. Don't hesitate, let alone kill him Soft, okay? "

Ye Xiaoxian said very coldly. Li Chengru had come to negotiate, but he didn't know how to speak at this time.

He knows that what she cares about most is Xiao Baofeng. Just now those guests said that Xiao Baofeng is now the hope of the whole county and the most promising person to obtain fame.
