Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum Chapter 871: The ninth bowl of soup (seven)
The ninth bowl of soup (seven)
Looks innocent and innocent, but is actually a bit vicious.
Qing Huan quickly returned to the table, "Don't worry about her, we are here to eat today, and there is no need to disturb the interest of those who don't like it."
The waiter was busy in the kitchen, and the second child served the dishes over and over again. Shui Han and Xia were also ordered to sit down and eat together. Halfway through the meal, the inheritance also came, so the dishes at the waiter's table turned out to be There is not half left. Although the little prince couldn't speak, he still had a round belly. Even the milk cat in Qing Huan's arms is lying on the table, taking a piece from the owner's bowl from time to time, and eating it is very enjoyable.
After dinner, the shopkeeper was reluctant to leave the young lady, and then begged the young lady to let him go back to the house and be an honest cook. He wanted to cook for his own young lady to repay the favor! Qing Huan said with a smile: "Old Hou, you went back with me, but none of your apprentices have been trained yet. Who will help me guard the eighteenth floor? I don't worry about leaving it to others."
Ruan Yi took Qing Huan into the carriage, and when he saw the old tears, he couldn't help but promise that he would guard the waiter on the eighteenth floor, and couldn't help chuckling. The first time he met the waiter, he The elderly are not like this. His upper body is naked, his voice is like thunder, his eyes are like copper bells, and he is terribly fierce. Who can tell that he is the God of Cooking? Now that more than ten years have passed, he has turned into such a kind-hearted look. I really don't know whether it is because Qing Huan is amazing, or whether he is a heart-warming old man and has become fat. After all, this figure has doubled horizontally, and it seems that a person can sit to death with one butt. However, when Miss Zhao asked someone to beat him before, the speed of dodging could still tell that the old man's sword was not old.
People who have enough food and drink are easy to feel sleepy. The snow has stopped, and as the New Year is approaching, every household is busy. Qing Huan lifted the curtain and glanced out, and said to Ruan Yi, "Spent this year with me."
"Okay." He didn't intend to go back.
The two were talking in the carriage, and the little prince listened with wide eyes. Ruan Yi felt pity for him when he saw him like this, so he peeled oranges for him, half for the little prince, and half for Qing. Huan, watching from the side Xia smiled. Shui Han, who was driving outside, was busy exchanging feelings with his senior brother whom he had not seen for five years, and he didn't pay attention to what was going on inside, otherwise she would sigh when she saw it. You said that these two are concubine. Who would believe if there is no love between men and women?
Since there is love, why not be together? It really made her hair white!
It was time to get a stick of incense from the eighteenth floor to the Xu mansion. Qing Huan was still teaching the little prince to play the Nine Rings in the carriage when he heard Shui Han's stop, and then said: "Miss, that poor and sour show is here again. ."
Qing Huan: "..." Damn.
What she said before, the merchant girl doesn't care about how beautiful, talented and rich she is, she was born as a merchant. Most people in Dayu think that she is cheap and doesn't even have the qualifications to be a scholar's wife. Similarly, it is precisely because of their poor background that most merchant women want to marry into a high or scholarly family, so as to improve their status and enhance their compulsiveness.
Qing Huan wasn't one of them, but she couldn't resist someone wanting her to do it. The people of the Xu family wanted to embezzle the property of the Xu family when she was young. After being taught by her, they didn't take the lesson and wanted to pinch her. Later, she grew old and had loyal servants by her side, and her methods were much sharper. These people did not dare to provoke her again, and they were respectful when they saw her, so they made their decisions on her lifelong affairs. After all, although Qing Huan looked fifteen or sixteen years old, she was actually much older and had a bad background, so it was impossible for her to marry a good family.
How big is the Xu family's family business, no one except the people in the center of power knows, including the Xu clan. This is what Qing Huan did deliberately. There is no need to let unrelated people know her strength, so as to avoid troubles in the future. But at the same time, she faintly let the emperor and others know that she is not easy to provoke, which is why she acts without being sympathetic and no one dares to speak up. When Ruan Yi just left, she had no intention of meeting with the people in the Hou residence, and she heard the eldest young lady, the direct descendant of the Hou residence, speak sarcastically, showing the power of cursing. Han was beaten into a pig's head in public and lost all face.
Not only that, Qing Huan also ruined the marriage she had promised. Now the eldest lady is in her twenties, and she is still an old girl who can't marry. Every time Qinghuan was mentioned, it was a curse through gritted teeth.
The eldest lady felt sorry for her daughter, so she went to the palace to file a complaint with the imperial court. Unfortunately, the emperor did not care about this matter, nor did he intervene in this marriage.
After that, the doctor realized that Qing Huan was really not easy to mess with, and never dared to speak ill of Ruan Yi again.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful Qing Huan is, she can't stand someone who is not afraid of death. She feels that she is from a bad background, and she is a lowly businessman, so it is difficult for her to be elegant, so she pretends that I want to marry you for your face. Gao Pan looks down on you, you should kneel and kowtow overjoyedly, quickly marry me and give me all your property, and come to entangle every few minutes.
The Fang Xiucai who is currently blocked at the entrance of Xu Mansion is one of them.
He passed the exam for ten years as a scholar, and then... he has always been a scholar. He is arrogant, and feels that he is different from ordinary people when he reads the book of sages and sages, so he despises others, and even more despise businessmen who are covered in copper. But even if he looks down on it, he has to live. Which of this chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea doesn't require money? Talented people like romance, but what if you don't have money?
Don't say money stinks, but money smells good too.
Then, for some reason, he suddenly fell in love with Qinghuan.
Probably two years ago, Qinghuan went out on a whim and went to the store for a surprise inspection. The shopkeepers were all her confidants. They were all very happy to see the young lady coming. They all knew that the young lady was not healthy and rarely went out on weekdays. Now Don't you look up to yourself when you come to your own shop?
It happened that Fang Xiucai came to buy rice and squeezed a couple of pieces of money. Who knew that the price of rice had risen, and he was immediately unhappy. Qing Huan thought this man was funny behind the screen, and the pestle stayed there motionless, not saying to buy or not to buy, just blocking the way, as if waiting for Xiao Er to take the initiative to lower the price - what a joke, they Xu Shimi The price of the shop is already the lowest, very affordable, okay? The Prime Minister's Mansion next door came to buy several thousand kilograms of rice and they didn't offer any discounts.
Qing Huan realized that she hadn't laughed like this for a long time, and she was in a good mood, so she asked someone to give him the original price.
She really just said it casually, and she meant it was just this one time, nothing else. How can I know that Xiao Er listened to her words very hard, and then Fang Xiucai came to buy rice and always gave low prices, which is incredible. Fang Xiucai heard that the price was given by the lady herself, and she immediately became complacent. After returning home, she slept and thought about it, and got an answer that made him more confident: this Miss Xu family must be happy with him. !
He doesn't think he is delusional at all. Anyway, he is a scholar. Although he has been admitted as a scholar in the cold window of ten years, he is a late bloomer, and there will always be future prospects. Presumably Miss Xu is interested in this.
Then he took a look at his dilapidated yard. My mother still covered the reed quilt in winter. It didn't keep warm, and she couldn't eat meat during the festival. He is a self-proclaimed scholar, and he refuses to lower his status to set up a stall on the street to sell calligraphy and painting. There are countless patches on the scholar's robe, and only one can be worn. Such a hard life is extremely difficult, so he is extremely thin and his cheekbones are bulging. He used to be a handsome young man, but now he looks like a three-pointed person but seven-pointed. ghost.
Fang Xiucai told his mother that Miss Xu's family was pleased with her. His old lady's eyes lit up and caught him, trembling with excitement: "Son... do you know how rich the Xu family is?!"
Then Balabara said a lot. The land of the Xu family is all paved with gold, and the servants of the Xu family use bird's nest to rinse their mouths. very rich! If Fang Xiucai married Miss Xu's family, then the two of them would no longer have to raise chickens and sell eggs to live!
Fang Xiucai thought about it all night and felt that what his mother said was reasonable. No matter how well Miss Xu was born, as long as she has money, it is still a bit low for her talent, but it is barely acceptable. The big deal is that he will accept a few more concubines in the future, which can be regarded as compensation for himself.
So with the heart of mercy, he asked the neighbor's matchmaker to go to the Xu residence to propose a marriage.
Who knew the matchmaker didn't even go in!
Fang Xiucai thought, did the young lady not know that he was the pro? If he knew it was him, he would definitely agree, right? He sighed in his heart, and looked down on Miss Xu's family, she was a merchant girl, and she was petty. That's all, he'll go this one himself.
It's useless to know that he's here in person, and he still can't even get in.
After that, he came every three or five times, more often than wind and rain. Because he can't marry anyone other than Miss Xu, the daughter of the next door butcher's family has to pay a few dowries to get married. Fang Xiucai prides himself on being elegant, and he doesn't look down on other butcher girls - and he can't afford it either. So many dowries.
He was completely attached to Qing Huan, and he didn't know where the confidence came from, thinking that as long as Miss Xu met him, she would definitely marry him. The people who stop him are all with ulterior motives, they are all slaves, and they can't see the good of others. When he married Miss Xu as his wife, he would definitely ask Miss to sell all these people!
Qing Huan heard that Fang Xiucai was coming again, and couldn't help but help her forehead: "This fellow... By the way, has the rice price changed back?"
"It's changed back." Cong Xia said, "There's been a lot of trouble here, and you want to sell the shopkeeper's money, Miss."
The person in charge is a subordinate and not a slave. The lady who follows her is voluntary and has no contract, and she sells it one by one.
Alas. Qing Huan sighed and lost a lot of money.
