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

Chapter 95, playing lottery

Although Qiao Erjing couldn't recognize the characters written by his mother, he just saw that his mother wrote very skillfully.

"I don't know, it should be written in memory, so I wrote it naturally when I saw the pen and paper last time." Xiao Qing explained.

"Mother, maybe you used to be a lady from a rich family, because only rich families let girls study!" Qiao Erjing said.

Xiao Qing smiled, and thought to himself: You just need to believe it, guess as you like!
The two were talking, the shopkeeper Zhou knocked on the door and opened the door to enter. He greeted the distinguished guests outside, and when Zhou Ji said that Xiao Qing was here, he also brought out two dishes. She offered a few dishes before, and he I gave it a little. At that time, he didn't expect that the spicy flavor would be so popular. Now that he knew it, she provided her with new dishes, so how could he be so stingy like before.

"This wing is finally waiting for his real master to come!" Zhou Chuan smiled and walked to Xiao Qing's side.

Seeing him coming, Xiao Qing was a little surprised: "What are you doing here? You are busy with your own business, don't worry about me, I am here for private matters! Don't delay important guests because of me!"

Sitting beside her, Zhou Chuan said with a smile, "I just heard from Yu Liu that you gave me two new dishes, and you take care of my business so well. If I don't come, wouldn't I be too unfriended?"

As he said that, he took out 100 taels of silver notes from his pocket: "Here are the prices of two new dishes. Even if I bought these two dishes, according to Shopkeeper Xiao's behavior, I must accept them!"

Xiao Qing smiled, and held the 100 taels silver note: "Accept, I will accept it, and collect the previous dish money together, this 100 taels is not enough."

Zhou Chuan smiled: "Then look at what else you want in the store, take some away, I have it on me, I only have this little money today, and when I turn back, I will exchange some bank notes, and you can pick a few more!"

Xiao Qing waved his hand: "Okay, shopkeeper Zhou is rare and generous, I can't be stingy!"

"Hahaha, I just like Shopkeeper Xiao's boldness! If you need anything in the store, just ask Zhou Ji. There are a few important nobles in front of you. Don't worry about what you want to eat, just say it!" Zhou Chuan urged .

Xiao Qing hummed: "I won't be polite to you, you go and do your work first!"

Zhou Chuan walked out of the door with a smile.

Half an hour later, the two dishes on the table were served, which were similar to what Xiao Qing had expected, and Yu Yu was indeed quite enlightened.

Zhou Ji brought it up himself and gave it to the two of them to taste: "Master Xiao, try it, does it taste similar to yours? Be careful what you cook!"

Xiao Qing hummed, ready to eat with chopsticks.

Zhou Ji said beside him: "By the way, shopkeeper Xiao, Mr. Qiao is here, so come upstairs."

Xiao Qing was startled, and quickly put down his chopsticks: "Let him in quickly, by the way, Zhou Ji, you can add another pair of bowls and chopsticks for us."

Zhou Ji responded with a smile.

As soon as Qiao Er heard that Qiao Hong was coming, he followed Zhou Ji to the door in a hurry.

At this time, Qiao Hong also came to the door on the second floor.

Qiao Erjing stood at the door, and when he saw his brother, he was thin and dull.

"Brother Hong?" Qiao Erjing choked up and called out.

Qiao Hong called out timidly, "Second brother!"

Qiao Erjing hugged Qiao Hong and hugged him directly.

"Brother Hong!" Qiao Erjing put his arms around him: "Brother Hong..."

After mingling for a while, Qiao Erjing pulled Qiao Hong into the wing room and sat down with Xiao Qing.

"Second brother, second brother and mother will go to Mr. Li's house to bring you home later, and our family will never be separated again." Qiao Erjing said.

Qiao Hong glanced at his stepmother, lowered his head and said nothing.

Xiao Qing waited for the two to calm down, and pointed to the chopsticks at hand: "It's noon, let's have some food, I don't know if you like spicy food, so I ordered my favorite food!"

Qiao Hong still didn't look up.

Qiao Erjing gave Qiao Hong his chopsticks and persuaded him, "Mother ordered this for you, eat it quickly!"

Qiao Hong took the chopsticks from his second brother and held them for a long time, but he refused to do it.

"Second Classic, you go and tell Zhou Ji to ask Yu Liu to cook two non-spicy dishes and serve them. Qiao Hong may not like spicy food!" Xiao Qing said thinking.

Qiao Hong immediately put down his chopsticks and stopped: "No need, I'm leaving later, you don't have to worry about me."

When he stretched out his hand, Xiao Qing could clearly see the bruises on his arms and collar, and saw him lower his head, faltering, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

Xiao Qing sat down: "Then if you don't want to eat it, just eat some preserved fruit. The preserved fruit in Laibin Restaurant tastes very good."

"Second brother, I want to go first, you can eat with her!"

Qiao Hong has never called Xiao Qingniang since he entered the door, he always called her or you.

"Brother Hong, what's the matter with you, you have to leave as soon as our brothers meet, what's the reason? Even if you want to take the lotus back to Mr. Li's house, then don't be so anxious! The dishes in the pot can't be brought until they are cooked. Let's go?" Qiao Er asked puzzled.

Seeing the injuries on his body, Xiao Qing faintly sensed what happened to Qiao Hong. She remembered that when she saw him last time, although he was timid and afraid of something, he didn't dodge it. This time, he not only avoided them, but also worried about something.

"Er Jing, let him go!"

Seeing his stepmother walking with him, Qiao Hong stood up, gave them both a quick nod, and was about to rush out the door.

At the moment of opening the door, Xiao Qing asked casually: "Brother Hong, did you go to college?"

Qiao Hong was stunned, thought for a while, turned around, and said, "I haven't read it yet. I've been busy these days, and there are many things in the house."

Xiao Qing said: "When you get home, you still have to continue studying, so you can't slack off and waste time!"

Qiao Hong hummed, lifted his foot and left.

"Brother Hong, Brother Hong!" Qiao Erjing chased to the door: "Mother, you child, why don't you just leave, and you walk so fast, think of us as scourges! I still have a lot of questions to ask him!"

Xiao Qing thought about this thoughtfully. Brother Hong was injured and had no chance to study. What happened to him in Li's house these days?
"Second Classic, after lunch, don't go home, go to Li's house to inquire about Brother Hong's current situation, and when we bring him back, don't make any trouble."

"Okay, mother, I've had lunch, so I'll go inquire, and you'll go back later!" Qiao Erjing said.

Xiao Qing said yes, she still needs to buy some millet and white rice to take back.

Qiao Hong walked back carefully with the food prepared by Dahe. He walked briskly, but he didn't dare to be careless with the food in his hand, for fear that his arms would shake and it would spill out.

When he returned to Li's house, Qiao Hong subconsciously didn't dare to go forward when he saw the person standing at the door of Li's house.

Butler Li stood waiting for him with a long whip in his hand.

He saw Qiao Hong approaching from a distance, and when he saw him, he was startled again and stopped.

He waved his whip at him: "What are you dawdling about? Come back quickly! Let the master wait impatiently, how many heads do you have waiting?"

Qiao Hong was afraid, but he still walked slowly.

When he approached, he handed the lotus food to Li Guanshi.
