six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 105 Portal
The next day, Cao Mingzhu really sent someone to the inn to pick up Su Liu, and Cao Kui wanted to make friends with Song Xiao, so naturally he would not miss this great opportunity, arranged a banquet, and invited several people to Cao's mansion.

Cao's family had a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, but the arena suddenly collapsed, and there was a lot of rumors. It is said that the head of the Cao family went to Shenglian Mountain overnight to find Master Wuwu to ask a divination.It is said that it is not suitable for Miss Cao's family to get married within the year, otherwise she will be killed or injured, so the arena was canceled. To express her apology, Cao's mansion set up a banquet for three days, and anyone who has the skills can come to have a banquet. This is how it was revealed. past.

But Cao Kui didn't give up on this, and really did what Su Liu said, and suddenly stopped all expenditures for the clan, and I heard that the clan studies that were being repaired stopped paying for money.

Cao Kui's behavior naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the clan. The clan leader personally brought people to discuss the explanation, and his words were sharp and quite accusatory. Yes, I still want to sell my daughter for glory, why should I do such a thankless thing, I just blocked people back.

One sentence made the patriarch and others angry, saying that he had forgotten his ancestors and so on, and wanted to expel him from the clan, but Cao Kui said: "That's fine, I, Cao Kui, can still hear the sound when I throw the silver into the water." One sound is better than feeding you white-eyed wolves."

The tricks used in the past suddenly came to nothing. The patriarch Cao brought out the county magistrate. However, Cao Kui took out Song Xiao calmly, and said sharply that he would cooperate with Song Xiao and others in future business.

With a bigger backer and strong financial resources, Cao Kui withdrew his offerings to the clan, and the clan suddenly became embarrassed, so they had to give in humbly.

Cao Kui didn't do anything wrong, and the family's adoption of a stepchild was discussed later, and those who had ideas in the family had to put down their flags for the time being.

"It's lucky to have you, otherwise I might be married to a bad old man now." Cao Mingzhu said to Su Liu with the appearance of a survivor.

With no worries and worries, her whole body is more radiant, like a peony in full bloom, when a beauty smiles, she is really charming.

Su Liu supported her chin and said, "Sister Cao, you are so beautiful."

Cao Mingzhu saw that her answer was irrelevant, her delicate face flushed slightly, she clicked her tongue reproachfully, and said, "How can you learn to be so talkative at such a young age?"

Su Liu giggled, twirled a piece of hibiscus cake, and said, "My fair lady, gentlemen are good-looking, but everyone has a love of beauty, and I'm just an ordinary person."

Cao Mingzhu squeezed her handkerchief and pursed her lips and smiled, "Does everyone in the village talk like you?"

"That's not true. I'm very elegant. The people in the village, uh, don't say anything, so as not to pollute the ears of the beauties." Su Liu recalled the usual words of those women who said that they don't care about meat and vegetables, and said with a smile: "However, talking in the village is a bit rude, but it's also very interesting. The children run wild all over the ground, and the crops are off the ground. It's a field, and it's not a fun."

"I grew up in a deep house since I was a child. Although there is a Zhuangzi in my family, I seldom go there. Someday, I should really visit your place." Cao Mingzhu was very curious about the pastoral life she mentioned.

"Then you have to tell me in advance, otherwise my kennel won't be able to welcome you, a beauty." Su Liu said slyly.

Cao Mingzhu twisted her face, and said: "If you can come here to settle down, then we can see each other often. I am here all the time, and few people are willing to talk to me. They, or they look down on me as a businessman." The identity of the daughter, or jealousy."

There was some disappointment in her words, Su Liu could naturally understand, Cao Mingzhu was so beautiful, some people would only be jealous of her beauty, how could they treat her sincerely?

"You don't need many confidants, one is enough." Su Liu smiled and raised her teacup.

Cao Mingzhu smiled in relief.

After talking for a while, someone from Cao Kui's side came over, saying that he was inviting the two of them to have dinner together.

During the meeting, Cao Kui kept expressing his gratitude, and said that if he asked for something in the future, he would be bound to do so. Su Liu was also polite, and told him about his purchase of donkey skin.

"Girl Liu knows how to make donkey-hide gelatin?" Cao Kui couldn't help being surprised when he heard what she wanted the donkey skin for.

Su Liu nodded with a smile, and said: "It's also a coincidence that I got the prescription, but the donkey skin is hard to find."

Cao Kui nodded, and said: "Donkey skins are really hard to come by. I heard that Renjitang has been buying donkey skins everywhere. Don't worry, water transportation has always been traveling all over the world. I will order people to buy them in various places and send them to you. That's right."

Su Liu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly stood up and gave a blessing. If the donkey skin can be supplied, then she can make a prescription for donkey-hide gelatin, and then she can also create a brand of donkey-hide gelatin.

While talking, a servant from outside rushed in in a panic.

"The honored guest is here, how is he in such a panic, he has no rules, drag it on." Cao Kui's face darkened, he reprimanded him first, then stood up and clasped his fists at Song Xiao, saying: "This servant doesn't understand the rules. I also hope that the fifth son will not take offense."

"Patriarch Cao is polite."

"Master, please forgive me. Yes, there is a Song Gongzi visiting from outside." The young man knelt on the ground, glanced at Song Xiao, and said, "Say, he is here to find Song Wugong."

Mr. Song?
Cao Kui was taken aback, and looked at Song Xiao.

Song Xiao stood up when he heard it, and asked anxiously: "But the man who smiles like a fox?"

Su Liu laughed when she heard this, Song Xiao glared at her, Cao Mingzhu was a little puzzled, and tugged her sleeve lightly, then Su Liu went over and whispered a few words.

"This..." The boy didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "The young master said he is the young master's third brother."

Song Xiao hissed, and said to Cao Kui, "Yes, it's really my third brother, I have to go."

Cao Kui let out an ah, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and welcome in, no, I will go to welcome you in person."

It was Song Fei who came. When Cao Kui greeted him at the second gate, he saw a young man in a robe of asparagus embroidered in navy blue and a white jade crown walking leisurely. He cupped his hands and asked, "If you dare to ask, is it the prefect's third son?"

"Patriarch Cao, Song Fei came to visit rashly, I'm sorry to bother you." Song Fei cupped his hands and returned a salute. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Song Xiao secretly hiding in the corridor. The corner of his mouth was slightly hooked, and he called softly, "Song Xiao."

Song Xiao froze and wanted to pretend he didn't hear, but Song Fei only said the word "Old Taijun", and he came out obediently.

"Third Brother." Song Xiao was dejected, but Wu Gang who followed behind him saluted Song Fei.

"My brother interrupted me, I'm here to pick him up." Song Fei said to Cao Kui with a smile.

"Don't bother, don't bother, Fifth Young Master and I hit it off right away, and we're having dinner now, if Third Young Master doesn't dislike it, can you offer me some noodles?" Cao Kui hurriedly said: "I'm talking about the operation of water transportation with Fifth Young Master."

Song Fei's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Song Xiao with a half-smile, and Song Xiao said, "Third brother, the little money fans are here too."

Song Fei thought for a while, then gave another salute and said, "So, Song Fei will be rude to bother you."

Cao Kui didn't dare to accept his gift, so he quickly avoided it, and said to the servant girl beside him: "Go and sit at the next table and wait for the table." Then he said to Song Fei: "Third Young Master, please."

When they arrived at the courtyard where the guests were received, Su Liu, Cao Mingzhu and others were already waiting there. Su Liu smiled and went forward to give a blessing: "Song Sange, I never expected to see you here."

"A while ago I came to the county on business, and then I went to Fucheng. I just came back today. I heard that Song Xiao was here, so I came to arrest him." Song Fei explained with a smile.

Of course, I don't know if it was real or fake.

Song Fei's eyes fell on Cao Mingzhu who was behind Su Liu again, and Cao Kui pulled his daughter: "This is the little girl Mingzhu."

Cao Mingzhu walked out without daring to raise her head, she lowered her head and bowed to Song Fei: "Mingzhu has met the third son." Her gestures and gestures are all ladylike, Su Liu can't stop talking, this is the real truth. Miss, she doesn't look like herself, she's just a fake.

"Miss Cao." Song Fei smiled and cupped his hands.

His voice was like a spring breeze brushing against the face, Cao Mingzhu couldn't help raising her head, and met a pair of smiling eyes, inside was like a warm spring, so warm that one could wish to drown in it.

The man in front of him was gentle and elegant, with a clear smile and a demeanor, just like a grandson, Cao Mingzhu was a little lost in thought.

Seeing Cao Mingzhu, Song Fei was also taken aback. He had long heard that the Cao family had a thousand pieces of gold, was like the rebirth of a Luoshen, and was the most beautiful woman in Changping County. Guo is an alluring beauty.

He smiled again, and Cao Mingzhu immediately lowered her head in a panic, blushing, her heart pounding like a deer, and jumping up and down.

Seeing it, Su Liu blinked, pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, it seems to be very inconvenient for Song Fei to come, Su Liu also knows that Song Fei and the others are interested in water transportation and will not participate in their men's banquet, so she and Cao Mingzhu set up another table in her yard.

Cao Mingzhu was apparently absent-minded, so Su Liu smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Song is not married yet."

When Cao Mingzhu heard it, she was overjoyed, her face was a little hot, but she still blushed and said, "You know that too."

"Yes, Song Xiao said."

Cao Mingzhu suppressed her joy, but when she thought of Song Fei's identity, she suppressed the shy smile on her face, and said, "With the character and family background of the third son of Song Dynasty, he must be a good match in the future."

Su Liu was biting a lion's head, when she heard the words and looked over, she saw a bitter face, and said: "I don't know, it depends on how the marriage is arranged."

She might be able to help Cao Kui match up with Song Fei brothers, but she really didn't dare to do so casually in this marriage, after all, there are too many scruples in this age, and marriages are about marriage, which can be found everywhere.

Didn't she look down on merchants, scholars, peasants, businessmen, merchants wait at the end, after Song Fei is a dignified official, the family will let her marry a merchant's daughter?

The portal, in the official family, is the most important thing.

Cao Mingzhu herself knew that she couldn't afford it, so she laughed at herself and said, "Let's not talk about that, are you really leaving tomorrow?"

Su Liu nodded, there are things to be busy at home, since the donkey skin matter has been settled, it's not easy to stay, after all, there are so many things to do!
