Chapter 680 Greed
"Ah, fairy..."
Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted Xia Zihan's inspection. She frowned and looked around, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at the door of the first small room, staring at her with a look of amazement. stunned.
Next to him, there was a young man in his twenties, who was also staring at her blankly, his eyes showing obsession.
Her face darkened and she was about to speak. Chu Jingqi beside her snorted and glanced at them coldly. That look was like letting them take a trip from hell, making them shudder and their hearts beat with fear.
They subconsciously withdrew their gaze, not daring to look at Xia Zihan a second time.
The village chief smiled and apologized, "Sir, madam, I'm really sorry. In our rural area, people are all rough people who don't understand the rules. I hope you don't take it off. I will discipline you more in the future. I will never do it." Cause trouble to the young master and his wife.”
The village chief was a good talker, so Chu Jingqi calmed down his outgoing aura, gave a faint hum, and continued walking to the main house while holding Xia Zihan's hand.
The eldest daughter in another hut, the village chief's daughter, was holding the boss's pillow and wanted to return it to him. As soon as she went out, she saw Chu Jingqi passing by.
Suddenly, the pillow in his hand fell to the floor, his eyes were filled with obsession, and he was dumbfounded. A few silver threads dripped from his slightly opened mouth without even realizing it.
But Chu Jingqi, without even looking at her, led Xia Zihan directly into the main room.
The village chief nodded and swept the top of the chair with his sleeves, and said with a smile, "Sir, madam, please sit down first. I...I'll go take a look at the room. The room will be vacated for you soon. Please wait a moment." .”
Shengdi curled his lips, snorted, and followed him into the house, "Didn't I tell you to hurry up and vacate the house? I asked my master to wait."
Then he asked, "Have you heated up the hot water? Let's boil a pot of hot water first. I have to make a pot of tea for my master first."
"It's burned. It's just been burned." Seeing that the bedding on the bed in the house had been taken away and the house was cleaned very clean, the village chief said, "Sir, this room is vacated. You can come in and rest. I'll take care of the bedding right away." I’ll give you a new bed.”
There are not many beddings at home, just enough for the family. However, his wife just made two new beds this year, one for the second son's wife, and one for the daughter's dowry.
They are all new and have not been used yet.
It is also a blessing for his children to be able to sleep with the nobles for a few days and soak up their nobility.
Just then, the village chief's wife walked in, packed up some clothes, wrapped them in a furoshiki, and was about to go out.
The village chief happily asked her to take out the new bedding from the box, but he was afraid that his wife would not be happy with it. He said in her ear, "Let the nobleman sleep for a few days, and let the second son and daughter also get their hands on it." Nobility.”
The village chief's wife was not happy. It was a new bedding that she had specially prepared for her son's wife and daughter to get married, but now she had to sleep on it for someone of unknown origin.
How could she be happy?
However, after hearing what the village chief said, she felt it made sense.
She hurriedly opened another wooden box and took out the new bedding. Just as she was about to spread it on the bed, Shengchi said, "Give me the bedding. I'll spread it on the bed over there."
This is the east room, which is for the prince and the princess to live in. The prince and the princess sleep on their own bedding, and never sleep on anyone else's. When they stay in an inn, they sleep on their own bedding. Even if it's new, they won't use anyone else's.
As soon as the village chief's wife's face dropped, she became unhappy. Chu Cong and Chu Fei happened to come in with one of them carrying a bedding, and the other carrying a lot of dishes and dishes.
These are the personal belongings of Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan, and each one is extremely valuable, especially the tea set used by Xia Zihan, which is extremely exquisite. She brought out a total of two tea sets this time. The set Chu Fei brought was a nine-color tea set with twelve flower gods. There were nine pieces in total, six cups, a teapot, tea cans, and tea trays.
It was Qi Mei who bought it as a gift to her, costing more than 260 taels of silver in total.
A cup costs more than a dozen taels of silver. The decorations, paintings, and portraits of the Goddess of Flowers are truly lifelike, beautiful, and exquisite.
The eyes of the village chief's wife's eyes widened.
When the village chief saw Chu Fei's face darkened, he hurriedly pulled his wife. Only then did the village chief's wife come to her senses. Then, she reluctantly glanced at the tea set that Chu Fei had placed on the cabinet and pulled it. He opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Girl, you are busy, let's go out first."
He took his baggage and left the east room.
After leaving the east room, I saw Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan drinking tea and talking.
The village chief and his wife bent over in a hurry. The village chief smiled and said, "Sir, madam, the food at home is about to be ready. Excuse me, you..."
He smiled awkwardly and wanted to ask them if they would have dinner at his house, but he knew that his wife lived a frugal life and would not do much at night, and she did not expect guests to come to the house.
If he didn't cook enough, he would be embarrassed to treat others to eat.
But they had to invite others to eat, and they couldn't let others watch them eat. They gave them twenty taels of silver.
This money only includes food.
The village chief was in a dilemma for a moment.
"If you want to eat, of course you have to eat. If you don't eat, will we still go to bed hungry?" Why is this village chief so blind?
Do you even need to ask about this kind of thing?
Shengchi muttered unhappily, "Go and make more. We will eat more and make whatever good things we can. Don't worry, we won't lose you."
When the village chief heard his last words, he took a deep breath, and the smile on his face was bright and dazzling, "Yes, yes, let's do it. Just wait a moment. My old lady cooks quickly. It’ll be fine in a moment.”
Xia Zihan raised his eyes and looked at the village chief's wife who was standing next to the village chief. He happened to catch her looking greedily at her head.
The village chief's wife blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she had been caught naked as a thief.
Xia Zihan frowned, feeling a little unhappy. Some people have greed in their hearts and covet other people's good things. This is understandable, but in front of her, he stared at her with gleaming eyes. Don’t let it go, don’t even cover it up, at such an old age, this person is really...
Just in time, after Chu Cang made the bed, she came out of the east room and told her, "Chu Cang, follow my aunt to help in the kitchen."
In the past few days, she had not had a good rest on the carriage, and now she really wanted to eat and rest early.
Chu Cong and the village chief's wife went to the kitchen, hugging the quilt and going to the west room.
