Chapter 90: King Xiang has no dreams
And Xiao Muqing with two girls, a coachman, and four guards behind him, is by no means the leader of those rich families in the town.
The most important thing is that the master and servant don't seem to be high-flying, whether they are acting or not, which makes people feel comfortable.
"This young lady came to the humble house, and it was really brilliant. This sister has already said the reason just now, but the taste of this sugar fried chestnut will be better, I don't know if the lady wants to buy the old goods a few days ago, or do she want to fry a pot? Bai Ling opened the door and asked with a smile.
"How long does it take to stir-fry?" Seeing that Bai Ling was not the kind of dirty and timid peasant girl, Xiao Muqing asked softly.
"I'm going to fry a few pots of chestnuts at home, and everything is ready, about half an hour." Bai Ling replied.
Xiao Muqing looked up at the sky, and said, "Then let's fry it now." If it's good, I'll ask for more, but I'll have to go back with a pot first, and I'll send someone to fetch the rest. ”
"Don't hide it from Miss, I don't have many chestnuts left, and if Miss likes it for a while, she can only make five pots. If you want to buy it again, you can only buy it after the autumn harvest next year. Bai Ling smiled lightly.
There are a lot of things in the Bai Ling space, but now that there is no shortage of money at home, she doesn't want to use the space anymore, so as not to cause trouble.
There is a lot of space on the left and right, so stock up on more things, and you may be able to come in handy someday.
Xiao Muqing nodded to show that she understood, although she felt that the three-room house was too broken, it was too cold to wait outside, so she went into the house to rest.
What surprised Xiao Muqing was that the house in this dilapidated farmhouse was very warm, there was no decent furniture, but it was very clean, and there was no disgusting smell.
After Bai Sanshu entered the house with Xiao Muqing, he and Bai Liu's went to make fried chestnuts with sugar.
After Bai Ling poured hot water for Xiao Muqing's master and servant, he and Bai Wei went to work, and the amount of vegetables they wanted in the past two days was relatively large, so they couldn't be idle for a moment.
After picking vegetables, you should plant a new crop, so as not to run out of stock after the first month, and you must know that you can also make a profit in early spring.
Bai Xiaoshan and Bai Xing went to the village every day to play with their friends, and there were only three masters and servants left in the house.
After Xiao Muqing tasted a sugar-fried chestnut, she felt that Shangguan Yu would like it, and immediately said that she wanted the rest.
"There is nothing new in the farmhouse, and the lady gives a lot of silver, so we don't want to take advantage of it. This is a Songhua egg made at home, and the dish just launched by Hongming Restaurant in the town was taken at my house, and Miss took it back to taste. Bai Ling handed a basket to Biyun and explained, "There are also some spiced peanuts and melon seeds, and I hope Miss won't dislike them." ”
Bai Ling loves silver, but he is not a greedy person, at least the money he earns is at ease.
"I haven't heard of these things you said, so thank you Miss Bai." Xiao Muqing motioned for Biyun to accept it, and also glanced at her because of Bai Ling's actions, "I live in the Xiao family's courtyard, and if you research new food in the future, you can send some over." ”
"Thank you Miss Xiao for taking care of our family's small business, the road is slippery on a snowy day, so I won't delay Miss Xiao." Bai Ling made a gesture of please, but did not make a similar move.
Not to mention that rich people are very defensive, only this time they met, or because of the sale and sale, Bai Ling didn't think that he could be good friends with Xiao Muqing.
It's just that in line with the principle of not causing trouble, Bai Ling treats guests politely and warmly.
It wasn't until the carriage left that Bai Sanshu and his wife came out of the kitchen.
"This rich lady is magnificent. Look at the cloak, the embroidered flowers on it seem to come to life. Bai Liu snorted.
Bai Sanshu has worked as a short-term worker for a large family and knows some rules, so he hid directly in the kitchen, and he was not embarrassed to look at Xiao Muqing, but he didn't even see the two girls clearly.
"When our family has money, we will also buy some good ones for a few girls, and we will not lose to the young ladies of those big families." Bai Sanshu looked at his two daughters and said very confidently.
"That's, don't look at whose daughter it is." Bai Liushi patted his chest, and there was a glorious way.
Bai Sanshu looked at the smiling Bai Yanagi, his eyes straightened.
In the past few months, he has eaten well, and he has been conditioned by spiritual spring water, and Bai Liu's complexion has become better and better.
Even if it was a stall in the wind and sun, Bai Liu's skin was a little better than before, and the most important thing was that those eyes were full of energy.
The Bai Ling sisters smiled at each other, and tacitly went to the kitchen to steam dry food, so as not to disturb their parents.
After Xiao Muqing returned to the courtyard, she learned that Shangguan Yu had been waiting in the guest room for nearly an hour, and she couldn't help but regret going to buy chestnuts in person.
"Quickly let people set up the banquet, and the few things that the white girl gave me will also be added to the table." After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and asked the two girls, "Let's see if my appearance is suitable?" ”
"The young lady is already beautiful, and the slave maid has carefully painted your makeup, which is suitable." Shallow clouds replied.
Biyun went to arrange the banquet, and Qianyun helped Xiao Muqing to the guest house.
Although people braved the wind and snow to clean the courtyard, the heavy snow fell for several days and stopped this morning, and the road was still a little slippery.
Xiao Muqing, who was anxious to see Shangguan Yu, almost slipped several times, but fortunately, Qianyun was able to hold it in time.
Shangguan Yu was not used to sleeping in a territory that was not his own, so he just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and after his subordinates reported the arrival of Xiao Muqing, he came to the flower hall to meet people.
"Brother Shizi." Xiao Muqing's face was slightly red, I don't know if it was blown by the cold wind, or dyed after seeing her sweetheart*, and her delicate voice made people want to pity a little.
"This is the letter that your brother asked me to pass on to you." Shangguan Yu nodded, put the letter directly on the table, and did not have a warm greeting, "I want to go back to the capital after the year, if you have a letter to bring home, I can bring it." ”
"I'm tired of Brother Shizi." Xiao Muqing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Shangguan Yu's straight face, her heart was pounding because she saw Shangguan Yu, but she forgot all the words she had prepared.
In Xiao Muqing's opinion, Shangguan Yu said this just to see her, which was a vague confession.
"I've known your brother since childhood, but by the way." Shangguan Yu opened his mouth indifferently.
If Bai Ling was here, he would definitely smack his tongue and think that this Shangguan Yu was fake, and he didn't even have a slight expression, it was obvious that someone else was wearing a human skin mask and impersonating him.
"Qing'er has prepared some wine and food, but Brother Shizi wants to use some now?" Xiao Muqing misunderstood that Guan Yu was interested in her, and her face turned a little redder, but she didn't see the usual sick and weak color, "I just happened to get some new food, if Brother Shizi likes it, just bring some back." ”
"Hmm." Shangguan Yu did not refuse.
On the way out of the courtyard, they and their group needed to spend the night in the wilderness, and Shangguan Yu had to think about his subordinates even if he had no appetite.
What's more, Shangguan Yu doesn't like to owe favors to others, and he doesn't want others to owe him, especially those he regards as friends, so as not to have too much scheming in getting along.
A meal, and a favor of sending a letter thousands of miles away, this is Shangguan Yu's original intention.
