Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 58, Meeting Qiao Hong

Xiao Qing didn't expect Zhou Chuan to be very attentive to her. Although their family didn't lack this item, it meant something else if he gave it to her personally. After all, who would dislike the lack of meat?
She will thank him in her heart in the future, and even sell cornel noodles and mushrooms to their family because of these good things. Now that she understands the meaning of these things, how can Xiao Qing not accept them?

"Since shopkeeper Zhou took the trouble to prepare it for me, then I will accept it." Xiao Qing thought that she would not owe Zhou Chuan any favors at will, so she smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Ji, you can send a few words to shopkeeper Zhou later, Tell him that a big tree is easy to attract wind, and when the forest is big, there will be insects and rats, and the person who handles every dish must be reliable, not causing trouble does not mean that things are not causing trouble, it is always good to be careful."

After hearing this, Zhou Ji was startled. He seemed to understand why shopkeeper Zhou treated this woman with some respect. Mingming was young, but what she said was very mature. What she reminded was right.

"Sister-in-law, Zhou Ji must bring this word, Zhou Ji first thank sister-in-law on behalf of the shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper is all about unique taste, but he is lacking in these things. He used to study the taste and forgot to guard against people. In the past two days, the diners have been full, and they are so happy that they have no time to think about these things. Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao reminded her that she was right It's time, this time the secret recipe will never be leaked.

Xiao Qing smiled, put the things into the bamboo basket, put the bamboo basket on her back and left.

Zhou Ji personally sent her to the main entrance before saying goodbye to her.

After Xiao Qing left, several people in line in front of Laibin Restaurant were staring at Xiao Qing's back.

"Brother, isn't that the Xiao family from the uncle's house? The Laibin restaurant actually called this kind of mud-legged mangy dog ​​into the store. This store has been entered by such a person, and I don't want to go in!" Qiao Shuqi pointed at Xiao Qing and said angrily.

Qiao Maosheng frowned when he saw Xiao Qing's figure, and his family was annoyed when they saw her. Such a person should not live in this world.

"Don't worry about her. Where she is has nothing to do with us. As long as she doesn't recognize us, don't care about her life or death. It's almost time for us to leave. We must investigate the Laibin restaurant today!" Qiao Maosheng explain.

Qiao Shuqi looked at Xiao Qing's back with contempt, and stomped her feet angrily. She was called by her elder brother to line up with him early in the morning. She had already lined up for an hour or two, her legs were sore, and they hadn't been in line yet.

All the people in front of the queue are people with status and background, they dare not jump in line, and they can't afford to be guilty.

Qiao Shuqi and Qiao Maosheng continued to line up, they both sighed, fortunately the mangy dog ​​didn't see them just now, otherwise they caused another trouble.

Here, Xiao Qing was thinking about what she wanted to buy, and she wanted to inquire about Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang. She had to go to the steamed stuffed bun shop first, and then to the yamen, because for some things, she had to get the documents from the county yamen first. Do it with peace of mind.

She walked along the line at the entrance of Laibin Restaurant for a long time. The long line blocked the road on the street. She couldn't get through, thinking that it would be fine if she walked through a gap.

It's just that there is no gap between people, so she had to go to the end of the line.

"Grandpa asked you to line up, what are you doing, you little bastard? Huh?"

A boy dressed in silk kicked the boy in coarse cloth.

The rough cloth boy lowered his head, five feet in length, tall and thin, with a yellow and thin face, he lowered his head and responded: "Yes, it is the master!"

Xiao Qing glanced at it casually, but after this one glance, he couldn't move away. The child was none other than Qiao Hong, the third son of Lao Qiao's family. Qiao Hong, the servant of the chief envoy.

She didn't expect to see him here today, and she thought about going to inquire about Master Li's house later, so...you see him?
"Qiao Hong?" Xiao Qing called softly.

When Qiao Hong heard someone calling him, he turned his head and looked at the fat woman in front of him. When he saw the person in front of him, his eyes were first surprised, then indifferent and filled with hatred. Ruddy, the hatred and alienation in his eyes deepened, he didn't respond, turned around and stood at the end of the line.

Xiao Qing couldn't see the hatred in his eyes, seeing him turn around and leave, Xiao Qing hurriedly followed and grabbed Qiao Hong.

"Qiao Hong..."

Qiao Hong threw her away, bowed his waist and continued to walk to the last line, saying that he should not be behind.

"Hey, hey, where is the fat woman? Why are you stopping my servant? Can you afford to pay for the delay in our master's breakfast at the Laibin Restaurant? Go, go, go away!" The servant grabbed Xiao Qing from behind and stopped her.

Xiao Qing looked at the servant who was holding her, listened to his words, and guessed whether he was Qiao Hong's manager.

"Oh, my lord, I just saw that child looks like my son, so I wanted to take another look!" Xiao Qing said with a smile.

Don't offend these people, otherwise there will be troubles for redeeming Qiao Hong in the future.

"Oh, it turned out to be a relative, but you hurried to the side, seeing that you are not very old, the child is in his teens, he must not be your son, and the child said to himself that he only has brothers and sisters, no Parents, go, don't delay him in line, go away!"

The boy in silk robe pushed Xiao Qing away with a look of disgust.

Xiao Qing was startled, Qiao Hong said he had no father or mother?
It's no wonder that the original owner was so cruel to Qiao Hong. In his memory, Qiao Hong liked reading. When Qiao Yumin was alive, he studied with Qiao Xiangmin's third son, Qiao Maoshu. Qiao Maoshu was admitted to Yaoshan Academy two years ago. Hong was reduced to slavery because of her.

Although there was no law in the Daqing Dynasty that prohibited slaves from taking the imperial examinations, being a slave and being born as a slave was shorter than a person, which was always looked down upon.

What the original owner destroyed was not Qiao Hong's identity, but his dignity, his brilliance, and most importantly, his chance to be a scholar.

At this time, the boy in silk yelled angrily: "Qiao Hong, if you don't get a seat today, go back and carefully peel your skin, the master will eat the food at the guest restaurant no matter what at noon today. It has to be eaten, you hear?"

Qiao Hong answered yes from afar.

Xiao Qing saw Qiao Hong bowing humbly, and didn't even dare to lift his head when he replied, feeling uncomfortable. Seeing Qiao Hong standing at the end, at this speed, they would not be able to line up for their house until tomorrow night. These bullying boys reprimanded and beat him again.

And Qiao Hong must have been beaten more than once. When he pulled his arm just now, he could clearly see the bruises on his arm. What is this child suffering from?

She carried the bamboo basket on her back and came to the end of the line. She let the boy out of sight and watched Qiao Hong line up seriously with his head down.

She knew that Qiao Hong hated her and didn't want to see her, but since they met her today, she had to be more or less aware of his situation.

"Qiao Hong!" Xiao Qing hesitated for a while, and finally said for the original owner: "I am sorry for you!"

Qiao Hong: "..."

Xiao Qing squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, Mom will take you home soon!"

Qiao Hong: "..."
