Chapter 28 High Officials
On the way home, Qing'er kept remembering Chen Mang's words, and followed Chen Mang back home nervously and expectantly.
When they entered the room, the two looked at each other for a moment. Chen Mang coughed dryly and said, "Qing'er, I'll prepare first. You can wait here for a while."
Qing'er snorted and said coquettishly: "I don't need to prepare as I said! Go out quickly and come over later!" As he said that, he stood up and pushed Chen Mang out of the backyard, then called someone to prepare hot buffalo milk and petals, and bathed in the room.
Half an hour later, Qing'er finished her rest, turned into a tulle and draped it on her body, and lay down on the bed in a seductive position.
Chen Mang seemed to be pinching the time, and immediately pushed the door open and walked in tacitly, saying excitedly: "Qing'er, come and try the big bowl of wide noodles I made. I will make sure you eat one bowl and want a second bowl! I will eat it with my stomach open. I will make it for you as much as you want today!"
After putting the big bowl on the table, Chen Mang turned his head and looked at Qing'er on the bed, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Why don't you wear clothes in the cold weather?"
Qing'er looked at Chen Mang with a dark face, gritted her teeth and said, "Is this what you said?"
Chen Mang nodded a little confusedly: "What else? Now, the most important thing in life is to be happy. If you are unhappy, cook a bowl of noodles. There is nothing that cannot be solved by cooking noodles in the world. If you don't have enough bowl, cook another bowl."
"I believe in your evil spirit!"
Qing'er sneered, grabbed Chen Mang with a grab, and pulled Chen Mang to the bed. With Chen Mang's helplessness, the curtain slowly fell down.
Three days later, Qing'er radiantly picked up the curtain, looked at the big bowl on the table, and said, "The noodles are cold, go and make a new bowl for me."
Chen Mang lay on the bed and stretched out his hand weakly: "Mr. Queen, help me to the kitchen. The prepared meat sauce cannot be wasted..."
Qing'er looked at him contemptuously, let out a light voice, put on his clothes, and helped him to the kitchen.
As soon as he came in, Qing'er saw a white snow-white fox lying on the stove, greedily licking the pottery basin, glaring at him, and a murderous aura swept towards him: "Dare to steal my breakfast!"
The fox was frightened by the murderous aura and immediately howled, his whole body shivered into a ball. Chuchu asked Chen Mang for help pitifully: "Master, help me!"
Qing'er was stunned, and instantly changed into a smile, walked over and hugged the white fox, touched its head and said, "So it's your apprentice. I'm your master's wife Qing'er. Have you eaten enough? I'll let your master do it again if you haven't eaten enough."
The white fox lay honestly in Qing'er's arms, not daring to move at all, and said with a stuttering: "Master, Master, I want to go and make some more convenient..."
Qing'er smiled and put it on the ground and said, "You kid, you don't need to report on such things in the future."
The white fox suddenly jumped out. After a moment, Xin Shisi Niang, who had become a girl, walked in. Looking at Chen Mang who was busy in front of the stove, she looked at the new master's wife and decided to sit next to her.
After a big meal, Chen Mang burped comfortably and felt like he was alive again. He asked Xin Shisi Niang: "Where is Xu Xian, it is logical that he smelled the meat, so he should have come here long ago."
Xin Shisi Niang said with a strange look on her face: "Master, my senior brother's head has been broken. I have been living in the clinic these days."
Chen Mang put the chopsticks and sighed with a little blame: "Oh, why is this kid so careless when walking? He is stupid at first, so don't be fooled by this."
Xin Shisi Niang watched the master throw the blame, and she twitched slightly, resisted the urge to complain, lowered her head and continued to eat.
Soon after dinner, the three of them came to the yard.
At this time, Bai Suzhen had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Chen Mang and Qing'er coming out, she said to Qing'er with an ambiguous look on her face: "My Queen, you have finally finished your work. Should you be busy with my business now?"
Looking at Chen Mang's confusion, Qing'er introduced: "This is Bai Suzhen, I have fallen in love with your apprentice Xu Xian. Xiaobai, don't call me the Queen in the future, you have to change your words and call Master's wife."
Chen Mang looked at Bai Suzhen's face a few times, nodded and said, "Oh, that's right, you don't know how to attack Xu Xian now, right?"
Bai Suzhen said shyly: "I can't go directly to him and say I want to agree to you."
Chen Mang couldn't help but laugh: "Then he will be scared away by you. Don't worry, it's just a pimp... Cough, isn't it the red line? I'm the best at it! As long as you listen to me, I promise to give it to you a wishful husband in a few days!"
Bai Suzhen nodded with anticipation and looked at Chen Mang's majestic face that he had been practicing as an official for many years, and felt that listening to his words was much more reliable than listening to Qing'er's ideas.
The two hit it off and immediately took out paper and pen to plan.
At noon, Xu Xian, who had recovered most of the time, walked out of the clinic and complained that his master was not doing anything light or heavy.
Suddenly, a bamboo stick supporting the window fell from the air and happened to hit his head.
Xu Xian said oh, raised his face and found a window open on a building on the side of the road. He was about to get angry when a pretty woman suddenly held the window with her hands and poked her head out, saying shyly: "Young Master, I didn't mean it. Can I return it to me?"
Xu Xian looked at her dignified and beautiful face with a hint of charm, and instantly lost her soul. She stiffly picked up the bamboo stick and threw it gently on it. Wen Yan said, "Be careful next time."
"Um."
Bai Suzhen pursed her lips and nodded, then quickly closed the window.
Xu Xian stared at the closed window and was stunned for a while. Seeing the teahouse opposite the small building open, the proprietress was sitting at the door to dry the warmth, she walked up and asked, "Mom Wang, which family is the little lady living opposite?"
Wang Po waved his handkerchief in a slight wave: "Oh, isn't this Xu Daguanren, the disciple of the prefect? Xu Daguanren, why do you have time to come to my teahouse for tea today?"
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and understood her meaning randomly. He quickly walked in and sat down, saying, "Give me a pot of Longjing and two snacks."
Po Wang immediately changed into a smile, came to Xu Xian, and began to entertain him warmly.
"This young lady's surname is Bai, and she lives in Yanggu County. Her parents died. She came to join her uncle alone. Unexpectedly, her uncle had moved out long ago, so she rented a house here and lived there..."
"This little lady is skillful and good at tailing clothes. If the high-ranking official is interested in the little lady, he can give me a few feet of cloth, and I will use the excuse of cutting clothes to recommend her to the high-ranking official."
While Xu Xian and Wang Po were discussing in a low voice, Chen Mang, who was lying on the window's eyes on the second floor, straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Xu Xian is also interested in Xiaobai. This marriage is probably impossible to escape."
Bai Suzhen stepped forward with a happy expression and thanked: "Thank you for your help. I and the officials will be filial to Master in the future!"
Qing'er frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Why do I have a strange feeling? I always feel like I've seen this happening today..."
