Chapter 20 The Honest Stupid Woman
Before I could wait, the back door opened and a man walked in.

A pair of red eyes, unshaven beard, clothes are wrinkled, very dirty.

To be reasonable, a clerk in a jewelry store must be straight and full of energy.Just like the one who received her, although he was not handsome, he had a clean face and clean clothes.

"Uncle Nan, this lady is here to deliver something."

The clerk passed the jade pendant while talking, and the dejected man saw the jade pendant clearly and hurriedly nodded to Cheng Xue.

"Please follow me! Anzi, pour tea for Madam."

"Yes."

Cheng Xue followed from the back door, and a large open space paved with bluestone slabs came into view.If a thief visits in the middle of the night, there is not even a place to hide, what a miracle.

The steward pushed open the door and invited Cheng Xue into the room with the sound of "squeak... ah...".

The furnishings in the room are astonishing, tables and chairs, screens, screens...all reveal the foundation and accumulation.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you."

After Cheng Xue sat down, she instinctively straightened her back and brought her knees together.I never sat like this when I was in school, and I don’t know if it’s because of the antique chairs.

"My name is Qu Nan, and I'm in charge of Jinxiang Pavilion. Where is the person who gave you this thing now? Is it okay?"

"Oh, brother Qinglin is fine, don't worry about Guanshi Qu."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xue deliberately slowed down and said:

"The little lady's husband's family name is Li, and he lives in Wanghe Village, two miles outside the town. That day my husband took the child to fish by the river..."

Pick the key points and briefly talk about the situation of saving lives that day.

During the period, the man brought tea, and she took two sips.There is no research on this thing, it is simply too much and thirsty.

After Qu Nan finished listening, he took out the letter and read it.The letter explained very clearly, and some things that Cheng Xue didn't say were also mentioned in the letter.

For example, Xiao Qinglin's stomach was sewn as cotton trousers.

When Qu Nan read it, he felt "thump, thud..." in his heart, but he was deeply worried about what the little master ordered after seeing the letter.

These days, he sent many people to watch Zhenbeihou and the forest farm. If the direction was really wrong as the little master said, who would do the plot?

There is only such a single seedling in the Xiao family, and the eldest master and the second master value it very much. Even if they come out to practice, the second master must follow. Who wants to do this?

Qu Nan looked at Cheng Xue, and thought of her using a needle on the little master's stomach, he was furious.

"Ms. Li is so bold, she used our uncle's stomach as a seam for cotton trousers. What a fool!"

Cheng Xue heard the sarcasm in his words, put down her teacup, and said:

"It's true that I'm a fool, and brother Qinglin is also lucky. If I didn't sew him up at that time, I'm afraid he would die within two days. Now that the things have been delivered, I should go back.

When is Manager Qu going to pick it up?I better prepare early.I didn't let the village know when I was rescued, so... I ask Manager Qu to be considerate. "

Qu Nan originally thought that she would take the opportunity to ask for property, but he didn't mention a word, and he was afraid that he would rush to pick him up if he was in trouble.

"I'm afraid Mrs. Li misunderstood. You are the only seedling of our master's family, the nephew favored by the Holy One. If you have any requests, just ask, and I will do my best."

Oh my god!
Cheng Xue knew that Huzi had saved a giant crocodile, but he didn't expect that this giant crocodile was actually a moose crocodile, the emperor's nephew!

He hurriedly stood up, pretending to be terrified and said:
"I'm sorry, Manager Qu, I... I was sewing at the time, just to save Qinglin, no, I just wanted to save the nobleman's life. I, I didn't want to go beyond, please don't blame me, I... I, I... "

Seeing what she said was getting more and more outrageous, Qu Nan suddenly had one head and two big ones.

The master's family came from grassroots, if he hadn't married Mrs. Xian, he wouldn't be where he is today.But relatives from far away always come to the host's house to enjoy the autumn breeze, so he thought that all peasant women were like this.

This misunderstanding...it's getting bigger!

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Li, I shouldn't be with you... Oh, please don't remember the villain, don't be as knowledgeable as me. I don't blame you, and our uncle doesn't blame you. Look here, our master asked me to take care of you. He thanked you, don't get me wrong!
I'm not afraid of Mrs. Li's jokes. I have not had a good impression of the country people these years.There are several distant relatives in our host's house, and they come to enjoy the autumn breeze during the holidays.Our uncle is pure and kind, so I... I'm sorry, but please don't be angry. "

Seeing how flustered he was, Cheng Xue finally stopped scaring him.

"Oh, Manager Qu, you scared the hell out of me. I thought...that's all, let's not talk about it. We save people with a little effort, we don't need your thanks, we didn't do anything. The money for the medicine is still brother Qinglin himself. out."

At this moment, Qu Nan finally changed his impression of the farmers.

This woman is really honest for not cherishing such a good opportunity.

"Miss Li, since you were secretly saving lives that day, I will bring a car to pick you up tonight. Don't worry, your family will never let your work go to waste."

"Don't give me anything, my house doesn't lack anything." Cheng Xue hurriedly said, "The food at my house is very good these days because of Brother Qinglin, and I want to thank him!"

Ouch, this honest and silly woman!

Qu Nan bowed his hand again in admiration, and personally sent her out of Jinxiang Pavilion.

Originally planned to cook a simple farewell meal, but now Cheng Xue has changed her mind.

He spent a huge sum of money to buy five catties of mutton and three catties of beef, and went back to Dejitang to buy cumin, grass fruit, nutmeg, etc., and went to the grocery store to buy half a basket of charcoal.

She planned to make a good meal for Xiao Antin, the kind that he would never forget after eating.

The capital is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.In case Li Hui had a conflict with a nobleman during the scientific examination in Beijing, with Xiao Qinglin's connections, he would be relatively safe.

There are too many things, and I have to take a car.

But the coachman she always took didn't see it, so she just found one.

I asked about it not long after I got in the car. The coachman I used to ride in had an accident a few days ago and was buried three days ago.

"...Well, Lao Jia left after burying his wife. He didn't bring a single child, and it all belonged to Lao Jia's brothers. His brothers also have children, and they can't afford to support six. I heard that they have already sold three of them. .”

"Selling a nephew? Does the patriarch and Li Zheng care?"

"What do you care? Their mothers have all run away, and their children can't be sold if they want to sell them."

After the coachman finished speaking, he slammed his whip and did not speak again.

The mule cart "squeak... squeak..." Walking on the official road, Cheng Xue felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Master Jia was the first person she met independently in this other world.

Now it’s gone if you say no, the daughter-in-law ran away unreliably, and the six boys sold three of them...

This place is also comparable to the capital city, it can eat people without spitting out their bones!

It would be fine if she was a man, and she would also take the scientific examination and become an official.

After returning home, she asked Li Hui to grind the spices she bought into powder with a mill.She herself cut meat with Li Yue.

Because I have something on my mind, I can't concentrate until--

"hiss--"
