Chapter 58 What to do with my whip
Hong Xiaoduo had breakfast and asked Tianshu to take him to find the Yi Cheng.
"Is breakfast to your liking, little lady?" the other party asked with a smile as soon as they saw her.
“Very good, your chefs are really good at it. The steamed buns are soft, the rice porridge is silky smooth with a rich rice aroma, and the pickled side dishes are emerald green in color and crispy with rice. "Hong Xiaoduo commented on what he had eaten.
I sincerely appreciate it, because it is really delicious.
Hearing her praise like this, Yang Yicheng laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth because he heard that the other party was telling the truth: "To be honest, little lady, the cook in this post house is my wife. This In the wilderness, the wages are not high, and it is difficult to retain a good cook. If the young lady praised her, she would be very happy.
By the way, is the young lady here? "
“Oh, I’m here to pay for the house.” Hong Xiaoduo explained his purpose.
I was originally thinking about helping the adult pay for the room. I gave him a box of food before, and then he kindly invited me to go with him. Although it was because of them that they were in danger last night, but that It was also because of his care and concern that the old man did not expect the dangerous things.
It is easy to get along with others, but when he thought that there were about thirty of them together, Hong Xiaoduo gave up this plan.
It's not that she's shrewd and stingy, she just doesn't dare to be generous.
I also thought that the other party was a government official and he must have more money than her. So now she only paid for herself and her children's room, without waiting for others to help pay for the room. It was enough not to take advantage of others.
"House money?" Yang Yicheng was very surprised.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded, could it be that Mr. Wei has already ordered someone to pay the rent?
"Little lady, it's like this. Our place is a post house, an official post." Yang Yicheng thought about it in his heart and said.
Posthouse? Official post? "Oh, I understand, but the room rate will be more expensive than that of an inn, right? It's okay, how much is it?" Hong Xiaoduo said to herself, no matter how expensive it is, it doesn't look like a traitor anyway, no It's like a rip off based on people's pricing.
After hearing this, Yang Yicheng sighed in his heart, what do you understand?
"It's like this. Our inn here doesn't charge room fees, nor does it charge food. The young lady doesn't need to pay room fees."
Huh? So, is there such a good thing?
No, no, it must be your own problem.
After Hong Xiaoduo's brain was running at high speed for several times, he asked tentatively: "The post house is specially used to receive officials and official errands?"
Yang Yicheng smiled and nodded. Isn't this little lady quite smart? , I figured out what was going on so quickly.
"But we are not..."
"Ahem, Mr. Wei, as long as you are satisfied with your stay, little lady." Just as a postman with a broom passed by, Yang Yi Cheng immediately interrupted Hong Xiaoduo.
I just praised her for being smart. Why is this little girl's brain suddenly bright and then not bright?
Hong Xiaoduo, who was interrupted, reacted immediately when he saw Yi Cheng glance at the postman who was walking away.
"Oh oh oh, I understand, thank you." Hong Xiaoduo quickly thanked him.
This is not a matter of taking advantage. If the official post is specially set up for officials and official servants, it will not receive ordinary people. If he hadn't come to ask about the rent right now, people might have thought it was Mr. Wei who was with him.
But after asking just now, people knew that they were not together. If they continued to pretend to be confused without any other reaction, it was because this person was not bad, and it was mainly because of Mr. Wei's face.
In this way, if you still pretend to be aloof and insist on paying the room fee, you are too ignorant. The shouting started, and other people working in the post heard it. If there was that villain, they might report it to the superiors, saying that the post Cheng was acting for personal gain or something.
Besides, Mr. Wei is an upright person at first glance. He would let himself and the children live together. This only shows that he is not the kind of old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt.
"Then is it appropriate for us to wait for Mr. Wei and the others to leave together?" Hong Xiaoduo walked a few steps, then turned back and asked in a low voice.
Yang Yicheng understood what she meant as soon as he heard it: "That's not necessary. If the young lady is in a hurry, she can leave first. However, the ingredients I went to buy today are good, and they should be braised at noon. Lion's head, pork ribs with soy sauce, and duck stewed with bamboo shoots.
My wife also said that my wife's cooking skills are good, so why don't you leave after eating?"
Hong Xiaoduo was a little embarrassed: "It's not good." Knowing that it was free, he still stayed for lunch, so it was a bit of a luxury.
Yang Yicheng is nearly fifty years old and has five grandchildren. He usually envies those who have granddaughters. Seeing Hong Xiaoduo's cute reaction, he is even more happy.
Master Wei is a well-known upright official. When he brought this young lady and the seven children to live in the house, he probably took care of them because they were one big and seven small.
Looking around, there was no one else around: "Little lady, don't think so much. It's just a meal, and it's not a delicacy. It doesn't matter."
"Okay, then I'll have lunch at noon. Eat more." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
It was still early for lunch, so Hong Xiaoduo wanted to take Tianshu to say thank you to Mr. Wei. He asked the postman where Mr. Wei lived, looked for it, and saw Mr. Wei and a few people from a distance. The guard is talking about something.
Thinking of what happened the night before, Hong Xiaoduo guessed that the man must be very busy, so he turned back to Xiaotongpu. Tianshu said he would go see the donkey, so she followed.
When they arrived at the stables, Hong Xiaoduo and Tianshu stopped at the same time and looked forward.
More than a dozen guards were crowded in the carriage. I don’t know what they were doing. They were dressed as Master Wei’s guards.
"Mom, what are those people doing in front of our carriage?" Tianshu asked in a low voice, a little nervous.
Hong Xiaoduo said in his heart, you ask me? Do you look like I know?
He raised his feet and walked over, and Tianshu followed quickly.
There were still things in the carriage, which were winter clothes for the eight of them, a tent tied behind the carriage, and fodder for the donkeys.
Even though Tianshu was young, he didn’t think that Master Wei’s guards were trying to steal things from the car.
That’s why I can’t figure out what they are doing.
"What are you doing?" When she got closer, she found that no one noticed her arrival, so Hong Xiaoduo had no choice but to ask in a low voice.
If the tone is too serious, she is afraid that the other party will think that she misunderstands that they are stealing something.
The guards who were huddled together were so engrossed that they didn’t notice when someone was around them. They were startled by the sound. They all turned around and saw clearly that the person in front of them was this person. The owners of the donkey cart all had expressions on their faces as if they had been caught doing bad things.
“What are you doing with my whip?” Tianshu blurted out with sharp eyes.
The whip was given by the owner of the carriage shop. He was afraid that it would accidentally fall into the grass and be lost, so he specially found a piece of rose-red cotton satin from Yuheng’s cloth bag, cut it into strips, and wrapped it around There is also a strip tied to the end of the whip handle.
The reason is that the color is eye-catching and easy to see if it falls off...
