Chapter 643 Angry
Soon, two little girls, one dressed in red and one in purple, walked in with tea and a plate of cut fruits.
The two of them had red faces. As soon as they entered the door, their little eyes glanced at Chu Jingqi several times. After putting down the tray, they did not go out immediately. Instead, they stood on the old woman and stared at Chu Jingqi openly, as intently as flies. It was like seeing blood and I couldn't bear to look away.
Sensing their gaze, Chu Jingqi's expression suddenly became as cold as ice, and the aura exuding from her body was also very powerful.
Seeing this, Shengdi knew that his eldest son was angry. He hurriedly said, "Auntie, my young mistress needs a good rest. I wonder if you can arrange another place for us?"
"Yes, my yard is big and there is a lot of land. Let's go. The old lady will take you to the east wing. There is an empty room there, no one lives in it. It's just a good place for you to rest."
Then, he looked at Chu Cong again, "If you don't mind this girl, my granddaughter's room is empty, and you can use it to rest."
"Thank you, ma'am, but don't bother me. Two rooms are enough."
The old woman got up and led Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan to the east wing to rest. Chu Jingqi picked up Xia Zihan with a gentle look and followed the old woman.
The two little girls looked at Xia Zihan with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes. The old woman was clever and hurriedly grabbed one of them with one hand and tugged on their arms. This brought them back to their senses and stopped using her cannibalism. He stared at Xia Zihan.
The old woman looked at her two nieces, shook her head and sighed.
Hey, with that young master’s looks and demeanor, can he like them?
She didn't even know how much she weighed, yet she dared to be jealous of someone else's wife. It wasn't that she looked down on her niece, but the two girls together couldn't equal the dust in the crack of one of his wife's toes.
Even their looks are very different.
After walking out of the door, the old woman let go and gave the two nieces a look, signaling them to leave and stop embarrassing themselves.
Unexpectedly, the two little girls followed the old woman to the east wing as if they hadn't seen her.
Although this room is unoccupied, it is quite clean. The daughter-in-law of this family is diligent. Before the festival, she specially cleaned the room and prepared a set of bedding, hoping to clean it up for the sisters-in-law to rest. Rest your feet.
Fortunately, Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan were advantaged.
After the old woman led them in, she said a few polite words and came out.
The two little girls didn't want to go out and wanted to stay in the house, hesitating and reluctant to leave. The old woman was so angry that her teeth ached and she dragged the two nieces away.
When Chu Cong saw this, he quickly closed the door and stood guard at the door.
The two little girls turned around and saw Chu Cong guarding the door. They glared at her angrily and followed the old woman back to the main hall unwillingly.
Chu Cong looked at their backs, a trace of contempt flashed deep in his eyes, and he sneered disdainfully.
Huh, a rustic country girl who wants to covet the husband of her princess is really overestimating her capabilities.
In the room, Xia Zihan pinched him hard and said angrily, "It's all you, just try to provoke some rotten peach blossoms for me. Look, you have to put something on your face, otherwise, we will I don’t know how many such rotten peach blossoms I will encounter along the way.”
"Okay, you can paint me whatever you want." Even if it's a big painted face, he will admit it.
Chu Jingqi looked like she was obeying her wife's orders, and coaxed her, "Don't be angry. It's not worth it to break your body with anger over two strange girls."
"Why am I angry with them?" She was angry that his face was too attractive.
"Okay, Ayu, you're not angry." Seeing that the bedding on the bed was quite clean, he picked her up, put her on the bed, and said, "Have a good rest. Once you're done, let's go on our way again. We're going to the town today." Mid-Autumn Festival.”
"Tell Shengchi not to buy chicken soup, I don't want to eat it." It was stewed for the visiting girl's uncle, how could she have the nerve to buy it and eat it.
Chu Jingqi hummed, "I know, you want to eat. When we get to town, I will order a large table of delicious food for you to eat."
"Yeah." She held his hand, "Don't leave."
"If you don't leave, I will stay here with you." Chu Jingqi leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
Soon, Xia Zihan fell asleep.
During this period of time, in order to rush on the road, none of them had a good rest, especially Xia Zihan. After being injured, he had not been able to take good care of himself. His body and bones were much worse than before. Chu Jingqi saw this and was worried in his heart.
Seeing that she was breathing evenly and sleeping deeply, Chu Jingqi gently ordered out the door, "Go and tell the doctor, don't buy chicken soup."
"Yes, Master."
Chu Cong responded.
The old woman dragged her two nieces and returned to the main hall, her face became gloomy. After sitting down, her eyes shot at the two nieces like knives, "You two, remember, those people are not yours to mess with. I can afford it. If you bring any trouble to my old Guo family, I will "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you scolding the child all of a sudden?" The second girl jumped up, hurriedly grabbed her daughter, knelt in front of her mother, and cursed, "You." Girl, what did you do to make your grandmother so angry?”
The girl in red clothes sobbed pitifully and cried with an aggrieved face, "No... I didn't do anything. Didn't Mom ask us to deliver tea? Well, we just stayed and looked at that person more. Grandma was not happy with the young master’s sight.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he betrayed his mother.
The second child's expression stiffened for a moment, and when she saw her mother's sharp gaze coming towards her, she smiled coquettishly, "Um, no, we have guests at home. Let the two girls bring some tea and fruit. This is also for us, Lao Guo." What a shame, mother, I don’t mean anything else.”
Although she had told her daughter to attract the attention of the young master, she would not tell her mother about this.
That young master looks like the eldest young master of a wealthy family. He is beautiful and noble. If his daughter can marry him, even if she is a concubine, then she will be noble on the basis of mother and daughter. In the future, under Lao Liu Home, she also raised her head to be a human being.
But she didn't expect that her mother would actually object. He was just a young master from a wealthy family. Even if he looked down on Erya, he wouldn't have trouble with the old Guo family.
I really don’t know what her mother is worried about.
The second child had a coy smile on his face, but he was also complaining about my mother in his heart.
Another girl in purple was from the third family, her surname was Pang. Seeing this, Miss Pang knelt down in front of the old woman and admitted her mistake honestly, "Grandma, my granddaughter has realized her mistake and will never do it again. Grandma, don't worry."
"Hmph, just admit your mistake. Remember, those people are of extraordinary status. We can't afford to offend them, and we can't offend them. You saw that the young master was careful with his wife. Do you think that it's just you who are like him? Can you see it? Even if you come up to it, it will be embarrassing.”
The last sentence said that those who were thinking about it blushed and no longer dared to think wildly.
The hand was supposed to rest for half an hour, but when the time came, Xia Zihan was still sleeping. Chu Jingqi was reluctant to wake her up, so he let her continue to sleep.
After sleeping, it was noon.
At noon, Lao Guo's family was having Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and the old woman sent her son to invite them to come and eat together. Chu Jingqi refused without even thinking about it.
He wasn't used to eating with strangers at a table full of men and women, and he wouldn't eat there. Moreover, knowing that there were several little girls who coveted him, he wouldn't go there for fear of digestion. bad.
If the master doesn't go, Shengdi, Ma Bao and Chu Cong, as subordinates, will naturally not go. After a while, the old woman's son and grandson brought a large tray of food to them.
It is hard for them to refuse when someone comes to their door. If they refuse again, it will be a slap in their face.
Chu Cong took the food from the young man's hand, knocked on the door and sent it into the house. When he came out, he had a purse in his hand and handed it to the young man, "This is what my young lady is giving you as a reward."
"Thank you, young lady." The young man was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. He looked towards the room and bowed in a decent manner, but the posture was wrong and a bit awkward.
Chu Cong smiled and said, "You will come back to get the tray later."
"Yes, eldest sister." The young man took his purse and left happily.
In the west wing, after receiving the food, Shengdi also rewarded the young man's father with a tael of silver. His father accepted the money, which was a great joy.
This time, they made a fortune. They only earned two taels of silver from some meals, which was enough to cover the expenses of their whole family for two months.
After returning home, the money that the young man received from his father was not handed over to the old woman. However, the purse that the young man received was obediently handed over to the old woman. When the old woman opened it, she saw a ingot lying inside. There are a full five taels of silver.
The old woman was shocked. With so much money, she could repay the love.
She hurriedly told her daughter-in-law, "Quick, prepare some fruits, wash them, wrap them in a clean baggage, then kill a chicken and make soup. No, one chicken is not enough to eat, just...just two. Let's be a beggar." Chicken, marinate twenty eggs..."
The old woman gave her orders, while the others stared at the silver in her hand with gleaming eyes.
For such a large ingot of silver, there must be five or six taels, tsk tsk tsk... He is really a rich man. He spends five taels of silver every time he spends. He spends generously. Their family does some small business, but they can't save so much silver throughout the year.
The daughter-in-law also looked at the ingot of silver several times, and responded happily. After the old woman finished giving instructions, she put down the dishes and went to the kitchen to kill the chicken.
The young man was very happy and did not eat any more. He said cheerfully, "Grandma, I'm going to help my mother."
"Well, go ahead. With an extra pair of hands, we can do it faster. I don't know how long I will have to stay."
The old woman waved her hand and said.
