Chapter 94 Little Brat
In the evening of that day, Han Xie and Zheng Xi came in a hurry. When they saw Ling Qingyu, their faces were full of joy. Without waiting to sit down, they said: "Master, come and see."
Ling Qingyu sat at the table and saw Zheng Xi carefully placing a box on the table. After the box was opened, it suddenly became a fluorescent jade color.
"Wow!" Ling Qingyu exclaimed unconsciously. Inside the box were all kinds of jade articles, including bracelets, jade pendants, pendants, and walking sticks. They were all dazzling and beautiful.
"These jade, according to the craftsmen, are absolutely good jade. Look at the light transmittance and the warm feeling." Zheng Xi picked up a jade bracelet at random and said, "Just this bracelet is worth it." A few hundred silver, and these are only medium-quality, some fine stones, but they haven’t dared to take action yet.”
"How many good things are there? Give me some. I can make a lot of money at the end of the year." Cai Jingfang also came up and smiled.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I only have a few craftsmen, they can do it so quickly." Zheng Xi covered the box and looked at him defensively.
"How stingy! Just give me a hundred or so pieces. I don't want more from you." Cai Jingfang laughed.
"You really can speak. There are hundreds of pieces. You can find a craftsman to do it yourself." Zheng Xi glared.
"Don't be so stingy. Otherwise, I'll swap with you. The goldsmiths here are pretty good. Can we swap varieties?" Cai Jingfang pulled Zheng Xi and said with a smile.
Leaving the two of them to mutter, Ling Qingyu brought a cup of tea to Han Xie, and then looked at him with a smile.
Han Shuo smiled and said: "Han Shuo has lived up to his mission. Thousands of hectares of lowland swamps have been taken over in Wuhu. Moreover, Mr. Zhang persuaded local officials to build a polder at the government's expense. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang also got a piece of land worth two hundred yuan. In this way, the depressions and flooded lands along the Wuhu River can basically be built into polders, and the floods in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can also be reduced." Seeing her eyes flashing, he smiled again: " Mulberry trees will also be widely planted on their polders. With this resource, we can vigorously develop the textile industry."
"That's very good." Ling Qingyu said to the two people who were still arguing over there: "Stop arguing, let's go to dinner. For side dishes, let's go to the building outside the building."
"Okay." Cai Jingfang stood up and led the way, and said to Zheng Xi: "Don't be so stingy. At worst, I'll give you a weaver girl who can weave a beautiful face."
The predecessor of Louwailou was imprisoned for half a year after Yan Qi committed the assassination. Later, after the case cooled down, Cai Jing just went to the government to take the shop back, renovated it, found people, and opened it. It's June, and now three months have passed. With the addition of dishes developed by the chefs on the Fengshen, business is actually booming.
"Not bad, we already had a net profit of five thousand taels last month, and it's still rising." Cai Jingfang said proudly. Thanks to the assassination incident at the predecessor of the restaurant, when he got it, The money was half less than expected. Judging from the current progress, we will be able to recoup all the money this month.
In his own restaurant, Cai Jingfang naturally ordered someone to reserve the best seat.
In addition to the two-story main building outside the building, there are also some small buildings facing the lake. They are all very elegant single rooms. There are also single buildings with a private room.
When I got off the carriage, I saw a group of people gathered at the door of the building outside, and the sound of fierce quarrels came over.
Cai Jingfang took a few steps to see the situation, while Ling Qingyu and the others were a few steps behind.
"I'll kill you." A roar was heard, followed by the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
Ling Qingyu heard that his voice was very familiar, so he took a few steps quickly and saw several tall foreigners standing outside the door. The scimitars in their hands were shining brightly, and Cai Jing was persuading with a white face.
"Ram?" Ling Qingyu called out, rushed forward, held Ram's hand, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ram's blue eyes were already blood red. Ling Qingyu had never seen him like this before, and his anger made his body tremble.
"The boss." Ram closed his eyes, suppressed the blood boiling in his chest, and said slowly: "It's okay."
"You extra bastard! Black devil! You still want to kill me? This is not your filthy den. If you don't let me go back, I will be disgusted by the sight of you!"
Ling Qingyu turned around sharply. Opposite him, a child in brocade clothes was standing on his waist, jumping and scolding him. Ling Qingyu let go of Ram and stepped forward. Before the child and the servants beside him could react, Ling Qingyu slapped him in the face. He slapped his face hard.
The originally noisy door suddenly became quiet. Before the child could react, Ling Qingyu grabbed him and walked inside, saying to Cai Jingfang: "Bring in your own people."
The child's servants turned around and wanted to shout out, but Yan San tapped his acupuncture points directly, and then followed him in while supporting one with one hand.
"It's okay, it's okay." Cai Jingfang asked the waiter to appease the guests, and then said to Ram: "Please follow me."
Everything happened so fast that before the people around him could react, Ling Qingyu had already left with them.
"Tsk." A young master who had been standing nearby covered half of his face with his fan and said to the boy next to him: "Go and tell the people from the building outside the building that they have kidnapped the young master of the Xiao family."
"How dare you hit me! I'm going to destroy your clan!" As soon as the hand covering his mouth was released, the child shouted.
"If you scream again, I will throw you into the West Lake. I heard that Mr. Xu has just dredged the mud in the West Lake, and the water is just deep enough to drown you." Ling Qing Yuyin said deeply.
"How dare you! I'll ask Brother Murong to kill you!" The child shook and then yelled, squeezing his neck.
"Then before your brother Murong kills me, I'd better kill you first." Ling Qingyu picked up his collar, pushed open the window, and carried him out of the window.
The child's face turned pale and his voice trembled, but he still said harshly: "Do you think I am afraid of you?" He felt Ling Qingyu loosen his hand and slide down. The water below was sparkling, reflecting the moonlight. , the child finally couldn't help crying: "Don't throw me away!"
"Are you still scolding me?"
"No more scolding."
Ling Qingyu carried him back and said to Cai Jingfang who had just entered the door: "Go to Xiao Rong and ask him to come and pick him up."
"You are that idiot woman!" The child pointed at her as soon as he landed.
"You want another slap here?" Ling Qingyu bared her teeth at him and narrowed her eyes.
The child immediately covered half of his face where the five finger prints were exposed. Water shone in his big eyes, but he tried not to let them flow down.
"Don't look like I've bullied you, Ram, come on." Ling Qingyu pulled up a stool and sat down, saying to Ram.
The last time we came to Hangzhou, because there was a lot of cargo on the ship, Lamu and the others never got off the ship and were all on guard. When they came back this time, Ling Qingyu let them move around freely. Today, a few people went to the West Lake and saw that the restaurant was very gorgeous. I wanted to come in to eat, but before I could get through the door, I was bumped into by this kid. After bumping into me, he started yelling and yelling at me. The other people had bad words, but Ram was so nice. I didn’t want to. After arguing with a child and not wanting to cause trouble for Ling Qingyu, Lamu and the others wanted to leave, but were blocked again. Then the child became even more aggressive, and even the people around him said unpleasant things. .
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have argued with a child." Ram lowered his head and said. Seeing this, the head of the house recognized this child, and the child's background was not young. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Ram's back. If he really couldn't help but take action just now, he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused to the head of the house. Trouble comes out.
Ling Qingyu turned to glare at Xiao Se, yes, that little brat from the Xiao family, and asked, "What did you scold him for?"
Xiao Se took a step back and whispered: "It's not me who said it. It was Brother Murong who said that if they look like this, they must be ghosts from the extra story who come to harm people and specialize in eating children. Brother Murong said that they were all born without mothers." , it’s an evil ghost that came out of the ground, but it’s not an evil ghost! He wants to kill me with a knife!”
"If people say you are a bastard, born without a father or a mother,..." Before Ling Qingyu finished speaking, the child rushed forward with a ferocious look on his face. Ling Qingyu raised his foot and put it on his stomach, looking at him He scratched his hands and said: "Look, I just said a word, and you want to kill me. You just scolded him for so long, but he didn't really do anything. Little brat, you have to be lucky that you are lucky. He's a good man. If it were someone else, your lives wouldn't be enough for you, so just you two idiot servants?" Signing to Yan San to let go of the two boys, Ling Qingyu smiled and said, "Were they there when I beat you just now? Help you block it?"
The calves of the two boys began to tremble. They were suffering from unresolved acupuncture points and could not speak or move. They could only look at Xiao Se with pitiful eyes.
Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it again, he came back to his senses and shouted: "You are talking nonsense. My brother Murong would not have such evil thoughts. It is you, an evil woman! It is you!"
"The head of the family." Cai Jingfang walked in hurriedly and said, "The people from the Yamen are here. They said that someone reported to the official, some people made trouble, and they also kidnapped the Xiao family's young master."
"Let me go, you evil woman, I told Brother Murong that I will never let you go!" Xiao Se shouted proudly.
"Who is taking the lead?" Ling Qingyu frowned and asked.
"Master Zheng Jin, Mr. Zheng, happened to be still working in the Yamen. I heard that the trouble was in the building outside the building, so he came here in person." Cai Jingfang said. It was precisely because it was Zheng Jin that everyone was in the same boat, so the Yamen servant did not rush in directly. , but came in through the side door and drank tea in the lounge.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." Xiao Rong's gasping voice came from outside the door, and then the door opened, and Xiao Rong and Zheng Jin walked in together.
"Look, this gentleman is a Zhuluo businessman that our Xiao family is cooperating with this time. My young master has never seen a Zhuluo person, so he came to see him in advance without telling me. We had made an appointment to have dinner in the building outside the building. Absolutely. There is no conflict, the reporter Xu admitted his mistake." Xiao Rong said with a smile.
"Yes, just ask the diners and waiters. Nothing really happened just now." Cai Jingfang followed immediately and said.
"Kid Xiao Se, did we have any conflict?" Ling Qingyu lowered his head and smiled at Xiao Se.
That smile was so sinister, and when Xiao Rong glanced over at her, his eyes were very sharp. Xiao Se's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Young master, I was just playing around with this evil woman, who said I was caught! "
"Haha, I see, that reporter is really messing around, so I won't bother you anymore and I'll leave first." Zheng blinked at Ling Qingyu and glanced at the bright red slap marks on Xiao Se's fair and plump cheeks. Jin left in a good mood. This stinky kid scolds anyone he catches because of his family background. He was scolded once in the Yamen, and he actually said he was evil-minded! He, Zheng Jin, is also a tall and dignified man after all!
After the people left, the door was closed. Xiao Rong cupped his hands at Ling Qingyu and said, "I'm sorry, sir."
"You can take these two people to deal with them." Ling Qingyu pointed at the two boys and said.
Xiao Rong called someone in, forced the two of them out, and whispered an explanation outside.
"Sir, didn't I tell you not to come out with Master Murong?" After coming in again, Xiao Rong sighed, squatted in front of Xiao Se, touched his swollen cheek, and said.
"Daddy can't get up, and you're busy. Only Brother Murong plays with me." Xiao Se lowered his head and whispered.
"Yes, I am playing with you because I want to kill you." Ling Qingyu said coldly.
"He is from the Ling family." Xiao Rong shouted helplessly.
"He is seven years old, right? You don't tell him anything. Are you sure you can protect him?" Ling Qingyu's voice was still a little cold. In fact, this is the simplest trap. It is probably not what Brother Murong thought of, but it just happened. When I saw Ram and the others at the door, I took advantage of it. When I passed by, I did something to push Xiao Se over. Fan people, especially Arabs, have very bad tempers. In addition, Xiao Se had a bad mouth. Without a second move, Fan people He knew how to draw a sword, and Xiao Se only brought two unreliable boys. Even if he was killed, the unlucky person would be the one who took action, and he, Mr. Murong, did nothing. It's a pity that he met Ram. It's just that Ram was scolded by others, but he could still hold it in, probably because he was afraid of hurting me. Thinking of this, Ling Qingyu gently shook Ram's hand.
Originally, when Cai Jingfang said that the people from the Yamen came, Ram was thinking that when the people from the Yamen came in, he would say it was all his fault and then commit suicide on the spot. In this way, he would be able to bear all the burden and not be implicated. After arriving at Ling Qingyu, things took a turn for the worse, and when he looked at the handprints on that little kid's face, and then being held like this, Ram felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"Hey." Xiao Rong sighed. He didn't know the danger. The Xiao family's property is so big that outsiders can't imagine it. Now the master is ill in bed and is about to die. The direct descendants of the Xiao family are now left alone. Don't talk about those things. There are many outsiders who are related to him, including those from the Xiao family branch, who have ideas about him. But he is just a servant after all, so what can he do?
"Uncle Rong?" Seeing Xiao Rong's eyes were slightly red, Xiao Se comforted him and said, "Uncle Rong, don't worry, I don't feel any pain at all."
"Master Ling, Xiao Rong and the young master will take their leave first. Thank you very much, Master Ling, for what happened today." Xiao Rong said. Xiao Se grew up being held in the palm of his hand and never touched a finger. But today, Ru Ruo If it weren't for Ling Qingyu's slap, those people would have killed people, so Xiao Se was saved. (Shopkeeper Xiao Rong, you have misunderstood. Head Ling has long wanted to beat your young master!)
"Shopkeeper Xiao, don't say that. You helped me a lot. I owe you a favor." Seeing Xiao Se's face becoming more and more swollen, Ling Qingyu finally felt a little conscience and asked Yan San to take out a small bottle of medicine and said to Xiao Se: "Here, I’ll give this to you. After you go back and rub it on, your face will be fine.”
"How did you know that it would be fine just to rub it on?" Xiao Se looked at the medicine bottle with some disgust.
"Of course I know, I just wipe it off." Ling Qingyu said patiently. When sailing near the equator, the skin has to be put to the test. Ling Qingyu's skin is not very good, often red and swollen. Shi Biang made this ointment and it was very effective. Even her original skin texture was slightly changed.
"You are so thick-skinned that any medicine will be useful. Master, I..." Before Xiao Se could finish his words, Xiao Rong had already taken the medicine bottle and hugged him and ran away.
This damn kid! Ling Qingyu's face turned red with anger. Seeing that Yan San and the others were suppressing laughter, he said angrily: "What's so funny? I'm just thick-skinned! You bite me!"
Because there were more Lamu people, Cai Jing conveniently ordered an extra table to be opened.
