auspicious time has come

Chapter 87 If Mr. Liu needs it

He grabbed Mistress Miao's other arm, and took another step forward to half block him in front of him, frowning: "Quickly let Mistress Miao go—"

"who are you?"

The man looked at Liu Xun, and saw that although he was tall but extremely thin, with the appearance of a literati who had no strength to restrain himself, he couldn't help but sneered: "Sister, this person is here late at night, so he might be your matchmaker, right?" What, all the money you earn is used to supplement this poor scholar?"

Then he said to Liu Xun: "You are also a money-seeking person, knowing that she is a broom star who specializes in people, how dare you go up to her!"

Anger appeared on Mrs. Miao's face, and Liu Xun said in a cold voice in front of her, "Don't blame me for being rude to you if you dare to talk nonsense again."

"Huh? You're being rude to me? I want to see how you're being rude to me...ah!"

Before the man finished speaking, he was suddenly punched heavily in the face, and the rest of his words turned into a scream.

"you……"

The man took two steps back from the punch, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot. He never expected that the opponent looked weak but had great strength, so he clenched his fists tightly and asked angrily, "Who are you! There is a way to report your name!" !"

As he said that, he was about to raise his fist and rush forward to fight back.

"Master Bo of the Marquis of Dingbei, Liu Xun. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end. If you seek revenge in the future, you will always be there."

The fist that the man was about to raise suddenly froze.

Dingbeihou Mansion...?
Is this pale-faced scholar from the Dingbei Houfu? !

"Okay, no wonder the wings are stiff... so it's the person who came to the Hou's mansion!" The man stared at Ms. Miao, and spat bloody saliva on the ground: "As a widow, you have hooked up with others!" ... really disgraced my Miao family!"

Miss Miao didn't want Liu Xun to hear these obscenities again, so she closed her eyes unbearably, and said in a steady voice, "Get lost."

"Okay... I'll get out!" The man grinned grimly, turned around and left cursing with a gloomy face.

"Miss Miao, are you okay?" Liu Xun asked hurriedly, only concern remained in his eyes.

"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Liu."

Liu Xun asked again: "The people from the gambling house came to make trouble during the day, were they injured?"

Lady Miao was slightly startled, looked up at him, shook her head and said, "Neither."

Liu Xun waited to ask again, but she asked first: "It's so late, why is Mr. Liu here?"

"Ah... I, I happened to come out to work for the general, and happened to pass by..." Liu Xun explained with some stuttering.

Mrs. Miao didn't know whether she believed it or not, but instead she said with some shame: "My worthless younger brother was just talking nonsense, Mr. Liu, don't take it to heart."

"Ms. Miao is serious. I was a little reckless when I said it. It's just that he was really shameless. I was afraid that he would hurt you, so I... I hope Mrs. Miao will not blame me for meddling in other people's business."

Lady Miao didn't speak for a moment, she just lowered her eyes to her arm.

Liu Xun followed her gaze, only to see that he was still holding on to her, and immediately let go of his hand as if being scalded, took a step back and saluted, "I offended you!"

Miss Miao suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud.

This person is always so particular.

But when he hit someone just now...

Hearing this laughter, Liu Xun looked up at her in astonishment.

Looking at each other, Mrs. Miao asked: "Mr. Liu went out to work until late at night, can we have dinner?"

Liu Xun said embarrassingly: "Not yet...not yet."

"If Mr. Liu doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the shop and eat a bowl of home-cooked noodles?"

"Naturally I don't dislike it!"

The two walked towards the bun shop together.

"Madam Miao's family matters, normally I shouldn't ask too much... It's just that my brother's words and deeds today are really inappropriate, and my lady should be more careful in the future. If there is anything I can help, Also, my lady, please don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Miao nodded: "Thank you sir for your kind reminder, I will handle it properly."

Liu Xun also knew that she always had a strong temperament, so after thinking about it, she didn't say anything more.

After only a moment, he suddenly said seriously: "The lady is not a broom star, so you must not belittle yourself just because of what a foolish person says."

He knew that she had heard so many comments and slanders like this, but this time, it was from her own brother...

Lady Miao turned her head to look at him when she heard the words. In the night, the man's elegant and gentle eyebrows and eyes showed affirmation.

She smiled a little: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, although I haven't read any books, I still know what words to listen to and what words to let go where they came from."

Her words were straightforward and without embellishment, revealing the frankness of the past, Liu Xun was much more at ease when she heard it, and there was a smile on her face.

"The shopkeeper is back!"

Looking at the man who came forward, Ms. Miao said unexpectedly: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"Before the shopkeeper went home today, he said he would come back. In the middle of the night, I was a little worried about the shopkeeper. Anyway, nothing happened, so I just waited." The young man said with a smile.

Liu Xun: "!"

Heart of Sima Zhao!
"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Miao said as she walked towards the backyard, "It's late anyway, let's go back after eating."

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper!"

Liu Xun: "!!"

She was obviously just being polite!
"Shopkeeper, you're tired today, I'll wash the vegetables for you!" The young man smiled and chased after him.

Liu Xun: "!!!"

Enough is enough, young man!
Seeing the two talking and walking towards the kitchen, Liu Xun hurriedly asked, "Lady Miao, is there anything I can help you with?"

Mrs. Miao turned her head and said with a smile: "The kitchen is not suitable for Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu should just sit in the front hall and wait for a while!"

Liu Xunwei nodded: "Alright..."

However, he turned around and walked a few steps towards the front hall, but then backed away.

Master Liu stood quietly behind a pile of freshly chopped firewood in the backyard, bent over to cover his figure, and listened to the movement in the kitchen with his ears up.

Or his actions were too sneaky, and a big black dog in the courtyard barked at him.

Liu Xun, guilty of being a thief, quickly slipped back to the front hall like the wind.

There was mutton soup simmering in the kitchen, and the noodles were ready in no time.

Mrs. Miao and her assistant came to the hall each holding a bowl of mutton noodle soup.

"Mr. Liu, quickly taste our shopkeeper's craftsmanship!" The waiter put the bowl he was carrying in front of Liu Xun.

Lady Miao also put another bowl on the table: "Eat it while it's hot."

"What about Mrs. Miao?" Liu Xun asked.

"I just came back from dinner at home."

Liu Xun nodded, seeing the waiter sat down and picked up the chopsticks, he raised his hand and put the bowl brought by Mrs. Miao in front of him.

Instead, he pushed the bowl that the buddy brought back to the buddy.

The buddy was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. After grinning, he ate the noodles.

"Delicious!" the clerk muttered, chewing the dough, "our shopkeeper's stuff is not only the buns that are well wrapped! If we can open another noodle restaurant, the business will definitely be booming!"

"Okay, let's eat your noodles." Lady Miao pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Liu Xun: "Is it still to your liking?"

The mutton soup is fragrant, the vegetables are oily green, the noodles are thin and tough, served with pepper and green onion to enhance the taste——

Liu Xun looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him and nodded subconsciously: "Very good."

only……

Why do you put so much vinegar in the delicious lamb noodle soup?It's really sour.

Even though he felt that there was too much vinegar, Liu Zhubo still finished a bowl of noodles, and even drank the soup.

When the noodles are finished, people should leave.

When Liu Xun got up to say goodbye, he saw that the waiter was cleaning up the dishes and wiping the table graciously, resisting his discomfort, he reminded: "Brother, aren't you going back?"

The man smiled at him and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Xun also smiled: "Then let's go together."

The guy was stunned, wiped his hands and nodded: "Alright."

"Mrs. Miao..."

"Treasurer, rest early!"

The man's voice was loud and enthusiastic, covering Liu Xun's words completely.

"..."

The two left the bun shop together.

"Mr. Liu, I'll turn left ahead." After walking a hundred steps, the clerk pointed forward.

"Wait a minute." Liu Xun stopped in his tracks.

The clerk looked at him puzzled: "Is there something else for Mr. Liu?"

"This is 50 taels of silver. Leave the bun shop and find another job."

Looking at the bank note handed in front of him, the clerk blinked: "Mr. Liu...what's the meaning of this?"

"You are young and have healthy limbs. It is said that it is time to earn a family business, but you are here to be a clerk, with a small monthly salary, doing things outside your duties, and treating the single lady Miao. And so overly attentive... Do you really think that I don't see your intentions?" Liu Xun said with half-examination and half-deceit.

The guy was astonished: "How did Mr. Liu know..."

The corner of Liu Xun's mouth twitched.

Admitted it?
"Actually... this is what my parents mean." The man said helplessly.

Liu Xun frowned.

The clerk continued: "The reason for this is actually because I had a strange illness half a year ago, and my mother found a fortune-teller to come up with such a method..."

Liu Xun frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

Why, could it be that you want to come to the marriage fate?
"The fortune-teller said that I have a catastrophe in my life. If I don't break it, my life will be in danger. The only way to break the catastrophe is to find a hard-fated person who is destined to have evil spirits, and stay by his side for a year or so to borrow his evil spirit. Come and help me resolve this calamity... Not long ago, I happened to meet shopkeeper Miao recruiting a buddy, so I was forced by my parents to come here. Thinking about coming, I will stay here..."

Liu Xun was dumbfounded.

Co-authored... How about fighting poison with poison here?
After heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Xun immediately corrected him: "Who said that Mrs. Miao was destined to be evil? You actually believe such slanderous words?"

"This..." The clerk smiled embarrassedly: "Anyway, it's not bad for the shopkeeper Miao, I'd rather believe it or not... I also know that this matter is a bit unethical, so I can only work hard on weekdays." Some. Mr. Liu, this matter may be related to my life, you have to help me keep it a secret... The shopkeeper has a stubborn temper, and I'm afraid she will drive me away if she finds out."

Liu Xun reluctantly said: "Wait for me to think about it..."

The clerk's eyes moved, and he stretched his head to move closer to Liu Xun: "Mr. Liu, you don't mean to my shopkeeper..."

Liu Xun immediately said: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"But I haven't finished yet... Aren't you pretending to be self-inflicted?" The clerk laughed "hey" and said, "Looking at Wenwen's weakness, she is also courageous, and she knows the shopkeeper... "

Seeing Liu Xun's gaze swept over him, the clerk hurriedly swallowed what he shouldn't have said, gave Liu Xun a thumbs up, and said nonsense, "My fair lady is a gentleman...it's human nature."

Liu Xun blushed slightly and did not deny it.

The clerk went on to say: "Master Liu has a public position, after all, he is no better than me staying by the shopkeeper's side every day... Speaking of Mr. Liu, he is very talented, and he is also a capable person next to Lord Xiaohou. His future is immeasurable. If someone can remind the shopkeeper a little bit more, maybe—"

Liu Xun turned to look at him.

The guy smiled friendly: "If Mr. Liu needs..."

Liu Xun said solemnly: "How can I be such a person..."

"As the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."

Liu Xun turned his head to look into the distance, cleared his throat, as if he was planning something.

"Great talent, handsome appearance, bright future, gentle temperament... These are just superficial appearances, and there is nothing to mention."

"?" The clerk opened his mouth in astonishment, and quickly said: "I don't know much about Mr. Liu's inner life, so I don't know which angles are more appropriate to start with. Why don't you give me some pointers?"

Therefore, he was forced to listen to a certain gentleman's self-reporting of his advantages for half an hour in the cold wind.

……

Two days later, in the early morning, in the house that Hengyu had prepared for Jiji in the south of the city, the Meng family and Jiang Meiguan were waiting to visit.
