Chapter 20: Is this horse for sale?
Yi Mingxue came to the big tiled house outside Yuan Liu.
As soon as he stepped up the steps, the door in front of him creaked and opened from the inside.
A young boy came up to him and said, "Girl, you're here, I've been waiting for you for an hour!"
It was Yi Mingxue who he met on the street yesterday, so he went home and informed his master.
Therefore, he received a generous reward, so he was particularly friendly to Yi Mingxue.
"Sorry, I encountered a few wild dogs on the road and was delayed!" Yi Mingxue said casually.
"Hey, are you okay?" The boy introduced her to Liu's house and immediately asked with concern after hearing this.
Thinking of the miserable appearance of those gangsters in the end, Yi Mingxue almost couldn't help laughing.
"It's okay! The wolf meat has been dissected by the hunter in our village. You can just let the chef cook it directly."
"Okay." The boy helped her unload most of the wolves in the basket into the warehouse.
As soon as I put it down, I heard a crisp sound of a bowl being thrown from next door.
"What do you do with the people in the kitchen? Just make these pickled things for our aunt and grandma?"
Before she could finish her words, someone came out and explained, "Sister Chunxiang, this is already the seventh time. We really can't think of any other way. Why don't you help me and ask what my aunt wants to eat?"
What?"
The maid named Chunxiang pinched her throat and said, "Grandma is pregnant now. She is already tired due to the heavy load on her body. How can she still think about doing things for you?"
"But...she didn't say anything. We even did it six or seven times and she wasn't satisfied. What should we do?"
Yi Mingxue didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she couldn't help but frown when she saw the full plate of pig's trotter soup poured to the ground by maid Chunxiang without mercy.
She remembered the hungry and howling children in Carpenter Wang's house when she came in the morning.
I couldn't describe what it felt like for a moment.
After thinking for a while, she finally came close to the boy's ear and whispered a few words softly.
When the boy heard this, he ran into the kitchen dubiously.
After a while, Chunxiang's sharp screams came from over there, "Are you crazy? You're giving this to your aunt?"
The people in the kitchen were probably helpless after being tormented by her, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I can't do any other tricks. If my aunt is still not satisfied, then I will report it to the master and my wife and fire the villain."
Come on!"
"You—" Chunxiang hesitated for a moment when she saw the other party holding out the master and his wife to suppress her.
In the end, I had no choice but to stamp my feet, carry a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled radish provided by the kitchen, and leave angrily.
Yi Mingxue didn't pay attention to this incident anymore, but went to the main hall with the servant to meet Liu Yuanwai.
She was also able to get a glimpse of the interior of this most prosperous large tile-roofed house in the town.
As expected of the local rich man, he has three houses with blue bricks and tiles.
By visual inspection, there are more than a dozen rooms, with maids, servants, concierges, and cooks all in them.
I don’t know how much it would cost to build such a house.
With this in mind, Yi Mingxue came to the east wing.
When Liu Yuanwai saw her, his attitude was particularly kind and affectionate.
"Hey, girl! Come on, come on!"
After saying that, he also introduced her to his wife, "It's this little girl who hunted two mountain wolves by herself at a young age. And they happened to be a male and a female. Do you think it could be the two that I dreamed about?
Bar!"
Liu Yuanwai's wife acted like a rich wife, but it was not easy to undermine Liu Yuanwai in front of him.
So, he nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe so!"
Liu Yuanwai didn't care about his wife's perfunctory, but ordered his servants to cut up today's portion of raw wolf meat immediately. He wanted to eat it now.
The servants took the order and left.
Immediately afterwards, the maid named Chunxiang ran over happily.
While running, he shouted, "Master, this is great! My aunt finally eats something!"
When Liu Yuanwai heard this, he was so happy that he stood up from his chair.
"really?!"
"Yes, it's absolutely true! It was the slave who went to the kitchen to serve it to my aunt, and it was the slave who saw her eat it with her own eyes."
"Then what she ate was the crystal pig's trotters that I specially ordered to make?"
"Well... that's not true..." Chunxiang was sweating a little, "Grandma ate... sour radish..."
"What? Sour radish?" Liu Yuanwai was surprised, "Sour radish is just sour radish! It seems that the method of avoiding disasters that the master taught me has worked! As long as Xiang'er is willing to eat, then my precious son will not be hungry.
"
"Then my bad luck will finally come to an end!"
Seeing Yuan Liu being so nervous about his precious concubine in front of Yi Mingxue, an outsider.
Mrs. Liu on the side was so angry that her face turned livid.
"What kind of behavior is it for you to yell and scream?! You are just a bitch, do you really think that you are a treasure that fell from the sky?"
After saying that, You felt unhappy and continued to curse, "She couldn't eat the delicacies from the mountains and the sea, so she chewed a few sour radishes on the cud; someone from the countryside means someone from the countryside, so she can't get on the stage!"
Liu Yuan stopped talking. Although Chunxiang felt dissatisfied, she still respectfully admitted her mistake.
Yi Mingxue didn't want to get involved in the Liu family's private affairs, so she stood up and left immediately.
Although Liu Yuanwai was scolded by his wife, he was still happy inside.
"I heard that your family lives far away, right? Since you have done me such a big favor, I can't ask you to walk back again."
After that, he called the boy and said, "Go and call the coachman and take this girl back."
Yi Mingxue originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that she had the opportunity to deal with the coachman and that she could take a ride in a carriage in this world, she stopped talking.
She even took the initiative to make a request and asked, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, but I still want to visit a few nearby towns today. I wonder if your coachman can give me an extra ride?"
Mrs. Liu prides herself on being born in the city and looks down on country girls.
Seeing that Yi Mingxue not only refused politely, but also climbed up the pole and made more demands.
She was about to get angry immediately, but Liu Yuanwai agreed first.
"What's the problem? I don't need a car today, just ask him to take me there!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu."
Yi Mingxue thanked her and went with the boy to the stable to find the coachman.
But as soon as she walked to the stables, her eyes were caught by a sick horse in the corner.
I saw it lying listlessly in the corner. Although it looked old, in fact, with clouds flying in front of its forehead and flames on its four hooves, it was a rare good horse.
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but ask the coachman, "Uncle, what's wrong with this horse?"
The coachman was having trouble with this, "Don't mention it! I just bought it a month ago. The seller said it was a retired war horse, but he fell ill as soon as he brought it back."
"The master said that this horse was the source of his bad luck, and he said no one would give it medicine and treatment."
"Then...can you sell it to me?"
