Liu Xu clung to Guo Fu's ear and whispered, "I'm so hungry and thirsty now!"

Guo Fu blushed, with contempt in her eyes, pointing to a stall selling rice dumplings in front of her, and said, "Here, rice dumplings are being sold over there, you go over and buy them, and I'll rest here at the cafe."

As she said that, Guo Fu snatched Cheng Yaojia from Liu Xu, and dragged her to sit at the tea table.

"Two guest officers, what do you need?" the enthusiastic shop waiter hurriedly asked as soon as he saw a customer coming.

"I just want herbal tea, what about you, sister?" Guo Fu squinted and smiled, squinting at Liu Xu from time to time to see what he was going to do next.

"I want herbal tea too," Cheng Yaojia said.

Liu Xu stood behind the two women for a while before walking towards them.

Guo Fu looked back at Liu Xu, very proud, and asked, "Didn't you say you want to eat zongzi? Why are you back?"

Liu Xu stretched out his hand helplessly, and said, "If you don't give me money, what am I going to buy?"

Guo Fu made a face at Liu Xu, then took out a large ingot of silver from her pocket, threw it to Liu Xu, and said, "This is enough to buy dozens of zongzi, be careful not to choke to death!"

Liu Xu smiled after taking the money, and walked towards the stall whistling.

Seeing Liu Xuxiong's majestic back, Guo Fu leaned into Cheng Yaojia's ear, winked and said, "Sister, do you like Yang Guo, or his 'Kung Fu'?"

Chapter 044 Red Apricot Filling

Cheng Yaojia shook his head and said, "I like his people."

"Liar!" Guo Fu pursed her lips and picked up the tea to savor it carefully.

"My sister is like this sometimes, sister, don't take offense." Cheng Yao Jiashu said with a smile.

"No, no..." Guo Fu said like this, but she was really upset in her heart.

Liu Xu walked to the zongzi stand and looked at the proprietress who was bending over to spread out the steaming zongzi.

Just about to speak, but didn't say it, he stared blankly at the open neckline of the proprietress.

Liu Xu glanced at the few people nearby, and saw that they were also hanging around selling the rice dumplings, the proprietress, and didn't go to see the fragrant rice dumplings. It seemed that the proprietress was more attractive than the rice dumplings!

While Liu Xu was still looking at the proprietress, she suddenly raised her head.

The eyes of the two met, Liu Xu did not avoid the eyes of the proprietress at all, but when she saw his easy-going eyes, she hurriedly asked, "Is the guest officer going to buy zongzi?"

The proprietress had already stood up. Seeing that there was nothing else to see, the beauties beside her dispersed, and only Liu Xu, a handsome young man, was left standing there unswervingly. , because he did come to buy zongzi, not just to see beautiful women.

Liu Xu looked at the zongzi on the street stall and asked, "What stuffing?"

"Red bean paste, red dates, pork, and peanuts, which one do you like to eat?" asked the proprietress.

Liu Xu pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any red apricots?"

The proprietress knew that Liu Xu was teasing her, but as a low-level commoner, all she could do was sell zongzi so that her life would be better.

She paused, and then said: "This store doesn't sell this kind of stuffing for the time being, can customers change to another kind, pork stuffing is delicious, you might as well buy one and try it."

Liu Xu looked back at Cheng Yaojia and Guo Fu, seeing that they were drinking tea, he said, "I don't like the ones at the stall, can you sell me some freshly baked ones."

"Yes." The proprietress replied immediately: "The guest is waiting for me here, the little girl is steaming, it is probably already cooked." "

"I'm a clean freak, can you let me in too?" Liu Xu smiled.

The proprietress thought for a while, and then said: "Then you wait a moment, I will ask the head of the house to come out and watch."

"Yes." Liu Xu responded.

After the proprietress walked in, after a while, a middle-aged man came out. He looked to the right, fixed his eyes on Liu Xu, and asked, "Does the guest want pork dumplings?"

"Hmm."

"Then go in, it's already cooked." The man said.

Liu Xu nodded and walked inside.

This room is not very big. Once you walk in, there is a small path. After walking more than ten meters, Liu Xu walked into the hall.

There was no one in the hall, Liu Xu moved his nose and confirmed that the half-hidden room directly in front was the kitchen.

He walked over and gently opened the door. The proprietress was about to pick up the lid of the pot, when a puff of steam surged up, causing her to sneeze several times.

Seeing Mirao's rice dumplings in the steam, the proprietress grabbed one and pinched it, and after confirming that it was cooked, she put the lid of the pot aside, intending to scoop them up.

The proprietress saw that Liu Xu had come in, so she hurriedly said: "Guest, the rice dumplings are here, come and have a look."

Liu Xu walked over but didn't look at the zongzi, but looked at the proprietress with a kingly gaze.

The proprietress looked a little uncomfortable, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Liu Xu squarely.

"Guest, what zongzi do you want..." Her voice became a little weaker.

"Now that the Southern Song Dynasty is in dire straits, your life should be difficult, right?" Liu Xu asked.

The proprietress's eyes turned red, and a few tears rolled down to the ground. She trembled and wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said, "My only son was arrested and joined the army. He died in Xiangyang three days ago..." ; Having said that, the proprietress could no longer speak, and began to cry while covering her face.

Seeing that he hit the proprietress' sore spot, Liu Xu was a little proud, but also a little sad. The whole Southern Song Dynasty became difficult for the people, and even the most basic life of the people became a problem. How could this not make him worry, after all, he had I plan to hold the entire Southern Song Dynasty in the palm of my hand. If it is a bad place, it will be troublesome to clean it up.

Liu Xu took out an ingot of silver, took the proprietress's hand, put the silver in her hand, and said, "I am going to Xiangyang this trip, and I plan to defend the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty to the death. This little silver is a farewell gift." Well, it's a bit small, I hope you will accept it, I will take one of the rice dumplings," said Liu Xu, picked up a rice dumpling and planned to go back.

The proprietress suddenly hugged Liu Xu's waist from behind, leaned on him, and said, "Actually, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were in need. I exposed so much just to attract more people to buy it." Zongzi, the guest is so kind, let the little girl repay you with her body."

Liu Xu smiled dumbly and said, "No, actually I just want to eat zongzi."

The proprietress suddenly went around in front of Liu Xu, panting and said: "Didn't you ask if there is any red apricot? I can tell you right now, I am the red apricot that is out of the wall."

Now that the other party has taken the initiative, Liu Xu will follow suit, otherwise he will definitely be scolded, a bitch is hypocritical.

Outside, Guo Fu rubbed her belly, her face was full of anger, she looked at Cheng Yaojia who was still sitting still, Guo Fu shouted: "Sister Yaojia, Yang Guo hasn't come out after going in for so long, and I just saw him You are older than Yue Yuexiong..."

Before Guo Fu finished speaking, Cheng Yaojia glared at her and said, "My daughter's family should be reserved and stop talking about those words. Didn't our husband say that? We can only do this in front of him. You can’t show it in front of outsiders, so remember.”

"Got it!" Guo Fu muttered and asked the waiter to pour another bowl of tea.

After a while, Liu Xucai and the proprietress appeared at the door. Behind them, there was a girl with some difficulty walking.

girl?

Liu Xu first looked towards the teahouse. Seeing that the two of them were still drinking tea, Liu Xu was a little relieved.

Chapter 045 One Hundred Taels of Gold

Who is the girl?Why is it difficult to walk?

In fact, after eating the "Zongzi" stuffed with red apricot stuffed by the proprietress, Liu Xu asked about her family's situation. When she knew that the proprietress's family was in trouble and owed a lot of money to a bully, the bully forced the proprietress to marry her daughter to him to pay off the debt. , resolutely decided to help her take over this matter and tide over the difficulties.

The proprietress was very moved, but she also said that she is a person with integrity and cannot accept favors for no reason, so she decided to give her daughter to Liu Xu as a maid.

Liu Xu was taken as an answer by this strange flower, and he was so excited.

In fact, the proprietress is very shrewd. She knew early on that Liu Xu was definitely not an ordinary person and would definitely soar into the sky in the future. Naturally, she herself had no chance to stay by Liu Xu's side, so she decided to give her daughter to him. If Liu Xu becomes well-off in the future, her daughter will also be able to live a good life.

Seeing that Liu Xu was silent and did not speak, the proprietress hurriedly called out her daughter. Although her daughter was not very old, she was a well-known beauty in the neighborhood, and there were too many people making up her mind.

Sure enough, when Liu Xu saw that the proprietress had a daughter, Xiaoqin, he was tempted, so in front of the proprietress, he took her as his own daughter.

For the first time in her life, it is normal for Xiaoqin to have difficulty walking.

After knowing Liu Xu's plan, the owner's husband sized her up and asked, "Young Master Yang, you are such a good person. I kneel down to you..."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down to the ground, Liu Xu hurriedly helped him, and said: "There is gold under the man's knees, please don't kneel down, as far as age is concerned, you are my elder, if you kneel down, you will ruin me. "

The proprietress' husband was so moved that his nose almost ran out, he nodded sharply and said: "I will never gamble again in the future, if I gamble again, I will die badly."

"Sanggong, what will I do if you die!" The proprietress said, grabbing the corner of his clothes.

The husband of the proprietress took a look at her and said, "I won't leave you alone, ma'am..."

Listening to the old couple talking to each other here, Liu Xu motioned Xiaoqin to follow him, and asked as he walked, "How much do you owe that bully?"

"One hundred taels of gold." Xiaoqin replied.

Liu Xu frowned. Although he was sure that Guo Fu was rich in the imperial court, he didn't know if he had a hundred taels of gold.

Walking to Guo Fu, Liu Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Fu'er, those zongzi are very expensive, they cost one hundred taels of gold."

Guo Fu almost jumped up, pointed at Liu Xu's nose, and shouted, "You think I run a pawn shop!"

"Shh..." Liu Xu made a silent gesture.

"Two sisters, my name is Xiaoqin, and I am the young master's maid," Xiaoqin said with narrowed eyes.

Guo Fu and Cheng Yaojia looked at Xiaoqin and saw that she had peach blossoms on her face. They probably had just experienced a cloud and rain. They both believed that this was not a maid at all, but another girl from a good family who was "persecuted" by Liu Xu.

Cheng Yaojia shook his head and sighed: "Guo'er, can we open a harem to accommodate people in the future?"

Liu Xu blushed and argued, "She's just a maid."

Guo Fu walked up to Xiao Qin calmly, held Xiao Qin's hand, and said, "We are all his maids, but we are just like his wife."

Guo Fu's words have fully revealed their relationship with Liu Xu, which also shows that she knows the relationship between Xiaoqin and Liu Xu.

Xiaoqin blushed, looking at Guo Fu's smiling face, she lowered her head and said, "Got it, sister."

Guo Fu clung to Xiao Qin's ear and asked, "Little sister, were you feeling well just now?" "

Xiaoqin was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, she didn't know that this lively and lovely Guo Fu would ask such a shameful question!

Cheng Yaojia, who was sitting on the side, quickly stood up, took the hands of the two of them, and said, "My dear sister Fuer, please don't make things difficult for sister Xiaoqin. Talk about it slowly!"

Guo Fu stuck out her tongue and head, and said, "I'm just joking, anyway, I know you guys feel the same way as I do."

Cheng Yaojia shook his head with a smile, and said, "You're all women now, so don't be a little more reserved. Be careful and divorce you!"

Guo Fu hurriedly looked at Liu Xu, and seeing that he kept looking at her with begging eyes, she knew that Liu Xu wanted the one hundred taels of gold he was asking for.

Guo Fu didn't know whether Liu Xu planned to use the one hundred taels of gold as a dowry to marry Xiaoqin, or what, anyway, it had nothing to do with her.

Guo Fu took out the money bag, handed it to Liu Xu, and said, "Honey, I'll give it all to you!"

Liu Xu took the money bag gratefully, opened it and asked, "How much is there?"

"It's all broken silver, convert it into gold, five taels at most!"
