Flowers are expensive

Chapter 293 Yuan Yin's Means 1
After the bookstore dispersed, Qing Yi and Ah Xiu went downstairs with the flow of people.Axiu said unrestrainedly: "Master, there is another show in the afternoon, are you coming?" Qing Yi squinted at him and asked, "Aren't you bored? Didn't you make a fuss about packing up and leaving?" Axiu said with a smile: " If you have this storybook to listen to, you won't be bored!"

As soon as the two went downstairs, Qing Yi smelled a rather familiar fragrance.Before he could turn around and take a look, Meng Furu walked up to him waving a round fan like a gust of wind: "Master, are you planning to just leave like this? I showed off my heroism just now, but my The small square table seems to be folded unfairly!"

Qing Yi understood, turned her head and told Ah Xiu: "A Xiu, give me the money!"

"It's very refreshing!" Meng Furu took a piece of silver from Axiu, tossed it in her hand and said, "It's less than five taels? Forget it, I'll take it since it looks good. But please come down, young master." Don’t be so quick to smash things back, this is not a fragrant kiln in the city, and Xixi is not those girls in the city whose young masters fight to break the tangle, your kung fu is overkill here!”

"Hey, how can you say that, shopkeeper? If it wasn't for my young master today..."

Meng Furu bypassed them and went upstairs without waiting for Ah Xiu to finish speaking.Axiu pointed at Meng Furu's back and said angrily to Qing Yi: "She's so arrogant!"

"That's all," Qing Yi walked forward, "She is the shopkeeper here, so naturally she wants to protect the people under her hands. She is warning us not to cause trouble here."

"I can't see that she is so bold when she speaks like a girl!"

"Do you only think that people look good when they put vases there?"

Axiu asked with a curious smile: "Could it be that the young master thinks that she is not a vase, but a flower?"

Qing Yi rolled his eyes at him and said: "If she is a flower, she is not a pear blossom!"

"The young master thinks what kind of flower is the treasurer Meng?"

Qing Yi stopped and thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "I look like a rose flower!"

"Why roses?"

"Specialize in stabbing people!"

Ah Xiu suddenly realized, he chased after him and said, "It's really true!"

That night, Meng Furu was sitting in the tent thinking about his father Meng Kezhou after reconciling the accounts with Uncle Ma.Xixi suddenly pushed the door open and came in, holding a tray in her hand, she put it on her desk and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, are you hungry? Is my supper delivered just right? I knew you must be hungry." Yes, I specially cooked an egg custard for you. Would you like to try it?"

Meng Furu picked up the bowl, stirred the yellow and smooth egg custard with a spoon, and asked, "Haven't you gone back yet? Don't you run so fast that you can't even see the tail of your shadow at this time? Have you lost your mind?"

"I kindly brought you a bowl of egg custard, but you scolded me for having a convulsion. Am I wronged?" Xixi sat down on the chair next to her, raised her legs and said, "I thought you were too bored at night, I don’t have a husband to accompany me, so I’m here to talk to you!”

The egg custard in Meng Furu's mouth almost spat out: "Are you afraid of bumping into Xiangfeng when you go back?"

Xixi pursed her lips and smiled: "Those who know me, they are too skinny!"

"Ok?"

"Wrong, it's my dear Shopkeeper Meng!"

"Go back quickly! Is it possible that you still want to spend the night in my accountant? Xiangfeng came to see me in the afternoon and asked me to redeem you..."

"And then?" Xixi stood up nervously and asked.

Meng Furu smiled slightly, ate a spoonful of egg custard and said, "I didn't give it to him."

"I knew it!" Xixi laughed excitedly, "You will not redeem me, you will be lucky in that case! I will become a star in the storytelling world in the future, and you will earn a lot of money Already!"

"star?"

"That's what the master meant."

Meng Furu put the bowl on the table, wiped her mouth and said, "I'm not doing it for money, I'm afraid that Xiangfeng will marry the wrong wife."

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Xiangfeng is such a nice person! He's good at medicine, and he knows how to run a business. Now he's opened a clinic in Chengdu. If you let such a good man go, it would be ruined!"

"Hey, Meng Furu, what do you mean by being spoiled by a good person?"

"Isn't it? With Brother Xiangfeng's character and family background, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a girl of the right family in Chengdu? Needless to say, the lady who runs a business, the lady from an official family may also attract one or two, so I persuaded him, what's so good about Liang Xixi? If you don't have a family background, you don't have a family background, you don't have a good appearance, and you don't work well. If you marry back, you can barely have a few children, and you don't know what will be born Is the baby smart enough?"

"Hey, Meng Furu, aren't you too good at hurting people?" Xi Xi put one hand on the table, shook the sachet hanging from his waist, and said, "You are not much better, right? Nothing else? Do you have the gentleness of a lady? Do you have the virtue and virtue of a lady? A lady..."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Furu raised her spoon and knocked on her forehead. She flashed her sensitivity, waved her hand and smiled and said, "I'm right? You can beat people unless you have money. Which man will you beat in the future?" Can you bear it? I see, you and I have a good temper, or we can make do with each other?"

"Where should I go?" Meng Furu threw the spoon back into the bowl.

"I know you still don't want me, right?" Xi Xi lay on the desk and said with her chin in her hand, "If I leave, your Joan Invitation Hall will not be so lively, so you found an excuse for me Pushed, right?"

"Stop being self-righteous! Hurry up, or else you'll be here tonight to help me with my accounts!"

"It's not the end of the month yet, what are you busy with?"

"I'm going to Chengdu the day after tomorrow. Isn't Xiangfeng's medical clinic open? I'll stop by for a few days to sort out the accounts of several shops in the city, so I have to sort out the rest of the things on hand first. What are you doing? Do you want to go? If not, move a stool and get an abacus!"

"okay!"

The two stayed in the counting room until midnight.It was quiet and dark everywhere in the inn, except for the lights in the account room.Meng Furu, who was concentrating on accounting, suddenly heard a snoring sound, raised her slightly tired eyes, and it was as expected!This girl Liang Xixi fell asleep again!Every time she stays up late, she is always the first to fall asleep, and her sleeping position is still so restless, it can be said that she is lying on her back!
Meng Furu pinched the bridge of her nose, got up and walked behind the screen, and covered Xixi with her cloak.Xixi slept soundly, with her neck tilted, like a snoozing kitten.Meng Furu stared at her for a while, then opened the door and walked out, standing on the railing outside and looking into the dark distance.

This farmhouse inn has been passed down to her for the fifth generation.Since his father, Meng Kezhou, lost his wife, he wandered among mountains and rivers and became a half-immortal Taoist.Brother Meng Hengqing never cared about business matters, and devoted all his attention to serving Taolin, so the business of looking at the customer store fell on her.In the past ten years, the Meng family's family business has been shrinking day by day. It's not because she doesn't want to carry it, but because she can't carry so much, she has to shrink a little.

In the father's generation, the Meng family originally had not only one descendant, but also a younger sister, but unfortunately, this aunt disappeared mysteriously when Meng Furu was two years old.Some people said that she had eloped with a man, while others said that she had fallen off a cliff and died.My father sent many people to look for her, but unfortunately there was no progress.

Until a year and a half ago, when Meng Furu accidentally saw Xixi in a coma at Xiangjia, she suddenly found that Xixi resembled the aunt in the portrait.Because of this, she has another affection for Xixi, so when Xiangfeng offered to redeem Xixi's body, she refused, because she knew that Xixi was not willing to marry Xiangfeng.

While she was wandering, there was a sudden noise in the account room, she rushed back to have a look, and couldn't help but burst out laughing!

It turned out that Xixi fell off the chair and was lying face to face in front of the desk. Shen Yin said, "Meng Furu, you still laugh! Woooooo...my little waist! Still laughing? What an unscrupulous Meng Furu!" Skinning! My waist is broken, let's see who will tell you stories to earn money tomorrow!"

"You deserve it!" Meng Furu helped Xixi up from the ground and said, "Who told you to go to sleep before finishing your accounts?"

"My waist!" Xixi yelled, clutching Xiaoman's waist with a crying face.

"It's not that expensive, is it? Did it really fall?"

Xixi didn't lie, she really fell down and hit the desk leg when she slid off the chair.Her one hundred and eight catties were all on her waist, so it was... folded!Mengfu felt helpless, so he had to put up a sign to close the show the next day.

Seeing the sign, Qing Yi was a little suspicious, and casually said to Ah Xiu: "The shopkeeper who picks up skins really sold Miss Liang, right?"

Ah Xiu was about to answer, but Meng Furu's voice came from behind him: "Don't worry about it!"

Qing Yi turned around and said: "The shopkeeper Meng walks really lightly! Every time he comes out with a word."

Meng Furu smiled politely and said, "I'm afraid it's not because I walk lightly, but because you are too preoccupied."

Qing Yi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this woman to hit his vital point with a single sentence.Meng Fu was like shaking a round fan lightly, and turned around with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Wait!" Qing Yi stopped her and asked, "Where did Miss Liang go?"

Meng Furu took a step back, turned her head sideways, and said with a light smile, "I don't need to worry about the whereabouts of my men, I have my own arrangements."

"Don't tell me she sold it?" Qing Yi said with a displeased expression.

"Even if you sell her, what does it have to do with you? Please go and enjoy the cool air!"

"It's really a person who got out of his eyes for money. He dared to sell anything for that little money! Let me ask you, where did you sell Miss Liang?"

"No comment!" Meng Furu replied, waving her round fan, and left with a scent all over her body.Qing Yi stared at her back, looking extremely angry.Ah Xiu was taken aback by Qing Yi's expression, and hurriedly asked: "Master, you don't want to get angry and beat up the shopkeeper, do you? It's unjustifiable to hit a woman!"

"Get out! Who likes to beat her? Two fingers can send her flying!" Qing Yi sneered.

"It's just Miss Liang, why are you so angry? What the shopkeeper said is not bad. Selling and selling are all their business..."

Qing Yi turned her head and glared at Ah Xiu, who was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking.At this moment, a clerk passed by, Qing Yi stopped him and asked: "Give you two taels of silver, and tell me where your shopkeeper sold Miss Liang?"

The guy couldn't help laughing and said, "Who are you selling? Are you selling Xixi? Hahaha... this guest officer, you really know how to joke! Where did you hear that Xixi was sold?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xixi twisted her waist last night, and it's time to stop. Where did our shopkeeper sell her? You must have been coaxed by our shopkeeper, right? I'm not afraid to tell you, it's always up to Xixi's idea Tell the shopkeeper to clean up, hehe..." The man walked away with a smile on his face.

Qing Yi rolled her eyes angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "This Meng Furu!"

Axiu covered his mouth and smiled and said: "I said, young master, you can't blame the shopkeeper! You can believe whatever they say..." Before finishing speaking, Qing Yi walked to the backyard room with a displeased expression.Axiu shrugged and said to himself: "Who is he angry with?"
