Chapter 871 The ninth bowl of soup (seven)

Ninety Bowl of Soup (Seven)

Looking innocent, she was actually a bit cruel. Qinghuan quickly returned to the table, "Don't worry about her, we are here to have a meal today, so there is no need to disturb the interest of someone you don't like."

The shopkeeper was busy in the kitchen, and the waiter served the dishes over and over again. Shui Han and Cong Xia were ordered to sit down and eat together. When they were halfway through, Cheng Ji came, so the shopkeeper Hou had no food left at all. Although the little prince couldn't speak, his belly was round. Even the cat in Qinghuan's arms was lying on the table, taking a piece from the owner's bowl from time to time, and eating was very enjoyable.

After dinner, the shopkeeper was reluctant to leave the lady, and then begged the lady to ask him to go home and be a chef. He wanted to cook for his lady to repay his favor! Qinghuan smiled and said, "Old Hou, you have gone back with me. Your apprentices have not been trained yet. Who will help me guard the 18th floor? I'm not at ease to leave it to others."

Ruan Yi carried Qinghuan onto the carriage. After seeing Lao Zhao, he couldn't help but promise that he would guard the 18th floor. He couldn't help but chuckled. When he first saw Zhangjiao, he was not like this. He was bare-handed, and his upper body was like a thunderous eye like a copper bell. He was so fierce that he could tell that he was the chef god? Now more than ten years have passed, and he has become so kind-hearted. I really don't know whether it is Qinghuan's greatness or his body is fat. After all, his figure has developed horizontally, and it seems that he can sit down to death with just one butt. However, when Miss Zhao asked someone to beat him before, the speed of her dodging could still tell that the old man's sword was not old.

People are prone to sleepiness when they have enough food and drink. The snow has stopped. As the New Year is approaching, every household is busy. Qinghuan lifts up the curtain and looks out, and says to Ruan Yi: "I will spend this year with me."

"Okay." He didn't plan to go back.

The two were talking in the carriage, and the little prince listened intently with his eyes open. Seeing that Ruan Yi was like this, he couldn't help but feel pity. He peeled oranges for him, half for the little prince and half for Qinghuan, and smiled from Xia. Shui Han, who was driving outside, was busy telling each other about his love with his senior brother who had not seen for five years, and did not pay attention to what was happening inside. Otherwise, she would be unable to help sighing when she saw it. You said that these two people are in love, but who believes that they have no love between men and women?

Since she is affectionate, why aren’t she together? She really makes her hair white!

It took a stick of incense from the 18th floor to the Xu Mansion. Qinghuan was still teaching the little prince to play Jiulian in the carriage. When he heard the sound of Shui Han stopping the car, he said, "Miss, that poor scholar is here again."

Qinghuan: "..." Damn.

What she said before is that the merchant girl should not be as beautiful as a man, talented as a man, but she was born in a merchant. Most people of Dayu thought that she was lowly and did not even have the qualifications to be a wife for a scholar. Similarly, it is precisely because of her poor background that most merchant girls want to marry into a high-ranking or scholarly family to improve their identity and enhance their personality.

Qinghuan is not one of them, but she can't resist anyone trying to let her do this. The members of the Xu clan wanted to embezzle the Xu family's property when she was young. After being taught a lesson, she didn't learn it, but wanted to control her. Later, she got older and had loyal servants around her, and her methods were much more fierce. These people dared not provoke her again. They respected her when they saw her, so they took their ideas to her lifelong affairs. After all, although Qinghuan looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was actually much older and had a bad background, so it was impossible for her to marry a good family.

No one knows how big the Xu family's family business is except the people in the power center, including the Xu clan. This is done by Qinghuan deliberately. There is no need to let irrelevant people know her strength so as not to be troubled in the future. But at the same time, she vaguely let the emperor and others know that she is not easy to mess with, which is why no one dares to argue with her indifferent behavior. When Ruan Yi just left, she accidentally met the people in the Marquis's mansion, and heard the eldest lady from the Marquis' mansion speak sarcastically and harshly, showing her curse. Qinghuan asked someone to go up and beat her up without saying a word. The eldest lady was beaten into a pig's head by Shui Han in public, losing all her face.

Not only that, Qinghuan also ruined the marriage she had agreed to. Now the eldest lady is in her twenties and is still an old girl who can't get married. Whenever she mentions Qinghuan, she will curse with gritted teeth.

The eldest lady felt sorry for her daughter, so she went to the palace to sue the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor didn't care about this matter and did not interfere in this marriage. She was completely in the attitude of not asking me if I didn't know anything.

After that, the eldest lady realized that Qinghuan was really not easy to mess with, and she would never dare to say bad things about Ruan Yi again.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful Qinghuan is, she can't resist the person who is not afraid of death. She thinks that she is a bad family and a lowly merchant, and it is difficult to enter the elegant hall. So she thinks that I want to marry you is to give you face, you are high and you respect you. You should kneel three times and kowtow nine times and be overjoyed. Hurry up and marry me quickly and give me all your property, and come to bother me every now and then.

The scholar Fang is now blocking at the gate of Xu Mansion.

He spent ten years of hard work, got a scholar exam, and then... he has always been a scholar. He is arrogant and feels that reading sages is different from ordinary people. Therefore, he looks down on others and even more on businessmen who are full of money. However, although he looks down on him, he has to live a life. Which of the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea does not require money? Talented men like romantic love, but if they don’t have money, how about romantic love?

Don’t say that money is smelly, but money is delicious.

Then for some reason, he suddenly saw Qinghuan.

It was probably two years ago. Qinghuan went out on a whim and went to the shop for a surprise inspection. The shopkeepers were all her confidants. They were very happy to see the lady coming. They all knew that the lady was in poor health and rarely went out on weekdays. Now that she came to her shop, wouldn’t she be able to look down on herself?

Just as the scholar Fang came to buy rice, he had to hold two hang of money. Who knew that the price of rice had increased, he was immediately unhappy, but because of the poor character of the literati, he was in a dilemma. Qinghuan thought the man was funny behind the screen, and stood there motionless, not saying buy, nor saying not buying, but just blocked the way, as if he had to wait for the waiter to take the initiative to reduce the price - what a joke, the price of their Xu's rice shop is already the lowest, very affordable, okay? The Prime Minister's Mansion next door came to buy thousands of kilograms of rice without discount, how could he lose the price for a poor scholar?

Qinghuan realized that she hadn't laughed like this for a long time, and immediately felt good, so she asked someone to give it to him according to the original price.

She really just said it casually, and she meant that this was only once, so she would not be an example. How could she know that the waiter listened to her? After that, Fang Xiucai came to buy rice and kept giving it a low price. This was amazing. When Fang Xiucai heard that it was the lady who asked the price to be given by the lady himself, she immediately became complacent. After going home, she slept and thought about it repeatedly, and got an answer that made him very confident: This Miss Xu must be happy with him!

He did not think that he was delusional. After all, he was a scholar. Although he had been a scholar in ten years of hard work, he was late and would always have a future. I believe that Miss Xu was interested in this.

Then he looked at his dilapidated yard. The reed quilts that I built in winter were not warm and could not eat meat during festivals. He claimed to be a scholar, but he refused to lower his status and went to the street to set up stalls to sell calligraphy and paintings. He relied on his mother to raise chickens and eggs every day to survive. The scholar's robe was made of countless patches, and only one piece could be worn out. Such a hard life was extremely difficult, so he was extremely thin and his cheekbones were protruding. He was originally considered a handsome young man, but now he looked three points but not three points like a human and seven points like a ghost.

Fang Xiucai told his mother that Miss Xu was happy with her. His mother's eyes shone and grabbed him with excitement and trembled all over: "Son... do you know how rich the Xu family is?!"

Then Balabala said a lot, the Xu family's land was shopped with gold, and the Xu family's servants rinse their mouths with bird's nests. The Xu family is rich and powerful. In general, the Xu family is rich and rich! If Fang Xiucai married Miss Xu, then the mother and mother would no longer have to raise chickens and sell eggs to survive!

Fang Xiucai thought about it all night and felt that his mother was right. Regardless of how Miss Xu was born, she was enough to be rich. Although she was a little inferior to him, she was barely acceptable. At worst, he would take a few more concubines in the future, which would be considered as compensation for himself.

So with kindness, he asked the matchmaker from his neighbor's house to propose marriage to Xu's house.

Who knew that the matchmaker didn’t even go in!

Fang Xiucai wondered, is it that the lady didn't know that he was the one whom he mentioned? If he knew it was him, he would definitely agree? He sighed in his heart, looking down on Miss Xu's family, who was a businesswoman, and was a petty man. Forget it, he would just leave in person.

I didn't know that it was useless if he came in person, and he still couldn't even get in.

After that, he happened every now and then, he was more frequent than the wind and rain. Because he could not marry anyone other than Miss Xu, the big and thick daughter born in the butcher next door had to carry a dowry several times when he got married. Fang Xiucai claimed to be elegant and looked down on the butcher girl at all - and he could not afford so many dowry.

He was all focused on Qinghuan, and he had no idea where he came from his confidence, thinking that as long as Miss Xu saw him, he would definitely marry him. Those who blocked him had ulterior motives and were all foolish slaves, and he would not be able to show his good fortune. When he married Miss Xu, he would definitely ask the lady to sell all these people!

When Qinghuan heard that Fang Xiucai was coming again, she couldn't help but hold her head: "This guy... by the way, has the rice price been changed back?"

"It's been changed back long ago." Congxia said, "This poverty has caused a lot of trouble. I said, "Miss, you should sell the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper is a subordinate, not a slave, and the lady voluntarily did not sell her body contract, and she sold her hand one by one, but the lady was not as arrogant as him.
