"The news spreads really fast." Ximen Qing smiled calmly: "So that Yueniang will know that I asked Xue'er to take over Zhuo Diuer's class. Don't forget to provide daily supplies..."
"What!" Wu Yueniang's eyebrows twitched: "That little bitch is so virtuous and capable, but she just slept with you for one night and you made her your concubine? How can there be such truth in the world?"
"There are a total of fifty-eight maids in the house. If they all sleep with you all night, wouldn't it mean that there are fifty-eight concubines in the house?"
"Including your woman outside, can it be accommodated in this yard?"
Wu Yueniang, who was dissatisfied with her request, fired a series of questions. Still looking dissatisfied, she gasped and asked: "What's so good about Xue'er? What do you like about her? She's not as good as me."
Where is Dongmei next to me!"
After Wu Yueniang finished speaking, she pointed at Dongmei standing next to her. Ximen Qing felt a sense of nausea slowly spread from his stomach, and quickly turned around and took two deep breaths of fresh air.
Winter plum? I think it’s winter melon! That fat girl actually blushed. Isn’t it natural?
Ximen Qing thought to himself: "God is being unfair to me!"
"Yue Niang, you are sick and your brain is unclear. Go back and rest." Ximen Qing turned his back to Wu Yueniang and Dongmei, the master and servant, and looked at the mandarin ducks swimming in the pond in front of him: "Dong Mei, help your mother.
Go back to your room, I will find the imperial doctor to treat your mother later."
"I'm not sick, you are sick!" Wu Yueniang was furious, stamping her feet and shouting curses, without caring about her image as a housewife. Dongmei also looked at the two quarreling people in panic, not knowing what to do. She was completely gone from the arrogance and bullying she had yesterday.
His arrogance.
After Ximen Qing finished speaking, he ignored Wu Yueniang's shouting and walked to the front hall. Wu Yueniang was not willing to let go and directly blocked the way: "I didn't make it clear, don't leave!"
Ximen Qing stopped and sneered twice: "It's up to you, I'm going to eat! I'll go to the shop later!"
"You should have nothing to do and sort out the account books at home. I will take a look at them when I come back in the afternoon."
This sentence touched Wu Yueniang's weak point, and she was immediately confused. She stayed on the spot and didn't bother to stop Ximen Qing. However, Ximen Qing shook his sleeves and walked around Wu Yueniang, unable to hide the disgust on his face.
.
Wu Yueniang's body went limp, but fortunately Dongmei next to her supported her.
It’s time to straighten things out, I’m not the same Ximen Qing as before!
The breakfast was still very sumptuous, and Ximen Qing was overjoyed with the several snacks in it, especially since there was no need to worry about various shortening additives. In this era, all natural raw materials were used. Well, in addition to paying attention to the intake, because of the amount of lard
Quite a lot indeed.
After eating a few snacks and two bowls of fragrant rice porridge, Ximen Qing took the hand towel from the maid's hand and wiped it, had some tea, then got up and walked outside.
"Master, where are you going?" the boy on the side asked respectfully.
"Let's go take a look inside the shop." Ximen Qing thought for a while and went to the herbal medicine shop to talk to shopkeeper Fu. Doctor Bai didn't know whether he would be back today. Since he had already tried to persuade Doctor Bai to work here, there was a doctor sitting in the hall.
, the business of herbal medicine shops will also improve?
"Master, please prepare your horse now."
"No need. The road is not too far, let's just walk there." Ximen Qing felt that he needed to walk for a while to digest his food. Qinghe County is a small place, and the herbal medicine shop is only on North Street. It only takes a moment to walk there.
The two of them, one behind the other, had not even reached the door. They heard the roar of people outside the door through the wall in the distance, as if the market had arrived at the door.
"Huh? Who is making noise outside the door?" Ximen Qing was slightly surprised.
Before Ximen Qing could give instructions, Xiao Tianqing took two steps forward and said, "Master, please go to the door and have a look."
Ximen Qing stopped, nodded, and the sky cleared away, and he came back after a while: "Master, there are two women at the door. I don't know why they blocked the road at the door of my house.
I raised a flag and didn’t know what to do, so I provoked a bunch of people to watch.”
Uh, brother, the county lieutenant hasn't taken over yet, and the petitioners have already blocked the door? Brother, he is also the director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau, not the Zheng Fu Petition Office.
"Let the housekeeper find a few people and blow them away!" Ximen, the official who had not realized anything, just felt annoyed and asked Xiao Tianqing to find the housekeeper.
Xiao Tianqing responded crisply, and just as he was about to lift his legs, Ximen Qing had a sudden thought: "Wait a moment! The situation is not yet clear, let's take a look first! Get a ladder!"
"Okay!" Xiao Tianqing hurriedly got a ladder and held it firmly. Ximen Qing climbed up the ladder two or three times, climbed up the wall and looked out.
The director of the county public security bureau dug up the wall of his own house to watch the excitement, which is enough to make people laugh.
Wow, what a grand gesture!
Ximen Qing's first thought when he saw the outside was whether his home was under siege. When he took a closer look, he saw that the two figures, an old man and a young man, looked so familiar.
Wait, isn’t the old one Wang Po, and isn’t the young one Pan Jinlian!!!
Wang Po was carrying a flag, while Pan Jinlian was sitting on a chair, looking heroic and eloquent, preaching something to the crowd watching around. Her posture made the entrance to her house look like Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park.
.
Ximen Qing's face was covered with black lines. Looking at the flag again, it seemed that Wang Po had hung the banner of her own tea house. There were several faded characters on the red background: "Wang Po's Tea House, a unique place in the Qinghe River."
What the hell does this mean? Ximen Qing is fine at home, but Pan Jinlian comes and blocks the door. Grandma Wang has moved the teahouse here?
After a while, the flag was blown by the wind, and the back side was revealed. There were several beautiful black characters on it. The ink seemed not to be completely dry, so the fonts were slightly deformed, but it still did not affect the recognition.
Ximen Qing took a look and almost fell off the ladder.
"Official Ximen, Jin Lian pays my respects!"
Pan Jinlian, I’m already far away from you, why are you so stubborn!!! Don’t go too far!!!
Ximen Qing slid down the ladder in despair. Not only was Xiao Tianqing waiting below, but even the housekeeper came over after hearing the news: "Master, this is too much. I'm going to find a dozen people to go out and arrest them."
Beat him away."
Not only did the butler make an impassioned speech, he even rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready for a big fight.
Ximen Qing shook his head in pain and squeezed out three words between his teeth: "Take the back door."
What? Is this the famous bully in Qinghe County, the high-ranking official from Ximen who stomped on the tower and caused an earthquake all over the city?
Is this the man from Ximen who was splashed with water and almost demolished the entire inn?
The housekeeper tried his best to check his ears to make sure he heard correctly: "Master, you said go to the back door?"
Master, you are a notorious high-ranking official from Ximen. A weak woman blocks the door, but you always go through the back door. Are you still the master we respect?
Seeing the unbelievable expressions of the housekeeper and Xiao Tianqing, Ximen Qing sighed secretly: "You don't understand my pain!"
"Prepare your horses! Back door!" Ximen Qing said with a definite and affirmative tone.
"Come down! You shameless bitch, come down here!" Wu Dalang finally squeezed out from the crowd. Seeing this scene, he shouted angrily, pulling his neck.
Not long after Wang Po and Pan Jinlian started their publicity campaign, Brother Yun realized that it was wrong, so he quickly picked up a basket and came to the cross street to find Wu Dalang.
Wu Dalang was doing business, and when he heard this, he was so anxious that he didn't care about collecting the money. He even stopped taking the burden of cooking the cakes, moved his short legs tightly and came over.
Pan Jinlian didn't look at it, didn't pay attention to it, and still told the crowd: "I, Liu Niang, came to Ximen Mansion today sincerely, just to apologize to the high officials of Ximen! Do you think it should be right?"
Pan Jinlian and Wang Po had actually arrived here early, but after waiting and waiting, Ximen Qing didn’t come out. So they went back and brought chairs over, and hung Po Wang’s banner on a bamboo pole to make a flag.
Jinlian personally wrote nine big characters on the back of the banner.
Sure enough, this trick worked very well. After a while, the crowd of people came and went to see what was new, and they were surrounded by people from three floors inside and three outside. Pan Jinlian then got on the chair and started to speak.
"Yes! It's so appropriate!" Some of the spectators agreed, while others screamed and booed.
Many people deliberately crowded close to Pan Jinlian, not only to watch the excitement, but also to see Pan Jinlian up close. After all, Pan Jinlian's beauty was outstanding, not to mention Qinghe County, even if it was a national beauty pageant,
Can reach the top three.
Therefore, these people have long been itching for Pan Jinlian's beauty. Not only the men, but also the women are looking at Pan Jinlian's body with jealousy. What is even more exaggerated than the men is that the women are murmuring while looking at it.
Muttering and discussing with each other.
"Why is this Pan Jinlian so beautiful? She is the Seventh Fairy who descended to earth, that is, this level? Look at her figure..." A young daughter-in-law muttered to her companions.
"As the saying goes: flowers are placed on cow dung, and a poor man makes a good wife. Don't envy Pan Jinlian, just look at the owner of the stall." Her companion happened to see Wu Dalang squeeze in and said disapprovingly: "
This is Wu Dalang who bought the cooking cakes. Do you know him? Three inches of Dinggu tree bark. Can you try it instead? Are you willing?"
"God is fair... If this kind of bastard comes into my bed at night..." The little wife opened her mouth in surprise, and suddenly felt a blockage in her heart, and her thoughts became smoother: "People are better than others.
I'm so angry that I have to compare and throw away the goods. Our family is much better than Wu Dalang at least, so I feel relieved."
"Haha, if I were Pan Jinlian and hooked up with Ximen Qing, that would be normal." The younger wife's companion said with a smile and a teasing tone.
"I think you are attracted to Ximen Qing!" the young daughter-in-law replied with a straight face.
