Pastoral little master

Chapter 201 The Lies Are Exposed

The three Qiduo sisters entered the yard.

The well-dressed woman standing next to Mrs. Xu at a glance is Mrs. Kang.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Kang were laughing and talking, but they looked towards the other side of the house from time to time.

On the other side of the seat, someone is moving out the lotus root basket.
"Aunt Guirong." The three Qiduo sisters came forward with vegetables, and called Mrs. Kang with a smile.

When Mrs. Kang heard the voice, she immediately turned her head, with a wider smile on her face, "Xia, Ju, Duo, you are back, you are exhausted, take a rest."
As Xu called the three sisters Qiduo, the tone was very intimate.

"Your Aunt Guirong brought someone here to buy lotus root today." Mrs. Xu smiled and said the reason for Mrs. Kang's visit.

"Thank you, Aunt Guirong." Sister Qiduo thanked her with a smile.
Mrs. Kang smiled and waved her hands, "Silly boy, what are you thankful for? This is delicious lotus root from your family. The lotus root you sent last time, this rare thing, I don't dare to eat it alone as a family, so I gave some For relatives and good neighbors. Who knows, after they finished eating, they all came to ask me, where did I get this lotus root, and it was even more delicious than the ones I bought before.

I just said where the lotus root came from, and they all asked me to bring them to buy some, so I cheekily agreed. "
Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, guessing that Mrs. Kang's gift of lotus root to her relatives might be intentional, so she took the opportunity to help her family sell lotus root.

Mrs. Xu probably also guessed like Qiduo, holding Mrs. Kang's hand, "Sister Guirong, it's really hard for you to think about our family everywhere, so you bother."

Mrs. Kang glared at her, "He said this outrageous thing again. By the way, when it comes to this, I think of one thing, Mingxiu, if you trust me, you can put some lotus root in my grain store for sale, and you will come and go on weekdays." There are a lot of people in the food store, and maybe they can sell some."

Qiduo nodded secretly, this is also a good way.

I remember when I went back to Mrs. Kang’s house, she said that the rice sold by Kangji Food Company was not only sold to the people in the city, but also many merchants from other places came to sell rice to other places.

When these merchants come to sell rice, if they see lotus root, they may be really tempted.

While Qiduo was thinking about it, Mrs. Xu hastily thanked her.

"Mother, you and Aunt Gui Rong go in and sit down, we're going to prepare lunch right now." Erxia said softly, picking up the vegetable basket and preparing to go to the kitchen.

"Good boy, don't bother, we'll leave right away." Mrs. Kang looked at Erxia with a smile all over her eyes. There was a hint of shyness in her gentle smile, her eyes were clear, her words and deeds were graceful and unaffected.

The more she looks at Erxia, the more she likes her, and she thinks how great it would be if she could be her own daughter-in-law.
Qiduo also felt that Mrs. Kang looked at Erxia differently.

My heart suddenly moved.

He pursed his lips and smiled.

"Aunt Xiu, mother, all the lotus roots have been brought out." A gentle and mellow voice came.

Qiduo recognized that it was Kang Jin's voice.

At the first glance of Kang Jin's voice, both Erxia and Liuju subconsciously turned their heads to follow the sound.

Kang Jin, who was dressed in a stone-blue brocade robe, just raised his head, and Erxia's pink figure bumped into his heart just like that.

Kang Jin's heartbeat quickened inexplicably, and a tinge of red quickly climbed onto his face.
Seeing that it was a young man, Erxia's face was reddish, she hurriedly turned her face away, picked up the vegetable basket and walked to the kitchen first.

Liuju was young, and when Kang Jin called Mrs. Kang's wife, she looked at him a few more times, but there was a bit of naughtiness in her scrutinizing eyes.
"Ju, this is the elder brother of Aunt Guirong's family, call someone quickly." Mrs. Xu introduced Kang Jin to Liuju.

"Brother Kang, it's really thanks to your rescue last time." Liuju called Kang Jin with a smile and let Kang come in. Last time Qiduo came back from Kang's house and told her about Kang Jin.

Qiduo introduced Liuju to Kang Jin with a smile, "Brother Kang, this is my second sister Liuju."

Kang Jin hurriedly clasped fists at Qiduo and Liuju, lowered his body slightly, and acted politely, "Sister Liuju, sister Qiduo, what happened last time was just a matter of little effort, don't mention it again in the future, or you will be out of touch."

In fact, he really wanted to turn his head and take another look at Erxia.

But this is not polite, so I don't squint, and I dare not take a second look.

Mrs. Kang was a little anxious, wondering if Kang Jin had noticed Erxia.

Today I specially brought Kang Jin here, just to let him and Erxia meet again.

But I also knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed, so I had to hold my mind and said to Kang Jin, "Jin'er, just now I made an agreement with your Aunt Xiu, let's take some lotus root back and sell it."

"Aunt Xiu, mother, I think this is an idea. There are a lot of people in our food store every day, so we should be able to sell some." Kang Jin nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Brother Kang for your trouble." Qi Duo thanked with a smile.

"Sister Qiduo is polite." Kang Jin smiled honestly.

Then he went to move the lotus roots into the carriage.

Mrs. Xu took Mrs. Kang into the house to drink tea.
Qiduo thought about looking for a servant, and thought that Mrs. Kang's family had a servant girl, and she did not know where she invited her, so she followed in.

She looked at Mrs. Xu, "Mother, didn't you mean to find a boy for Liu Lang? Aunt Gui Rong has been in the county for a long time. Let's ask Aunt Gui Rong."

"That's right, I almost forgot about this important event." Mrs. Xu patted her forehead, and looked at Mrs. Kang, "Sister Guirong, our eyes are dark now, I don't know if you know someone else? "
"Is Liu Lang going to study in the academy?" Mrs. Kang asked softly. This is the reason she can think of for looking for a servant. Otherwise, there is no need for a servant at home with her parents and sister taking care of her.
"Yes, we want Liu Lang to enter the academy to learn a few words. He is the only male in the family. In the future, the family will need him to support him. He was in poor health before and was delayed. Now there is a good opportunity to do it. When I entered the academy, I wanted to let him go." Xu sighed and explained the reason.
Mrs. Kang smiled kindly, and gently patted Xu's hand, "Mingxiu, this is a great thing. I think Liu Lang is smart, and he might have a great future. I know Ren Yazi, whose surname is Jin. She is very good at teaching, and all the servants in my family bought from her, and they are very easy to use. If you need it, I can take you to her at that time."
"Hey, this is the best way. After all, Liu Lang is young, so I just want to find a good and reliable child to take care of me. Sister Gui Rong, then I will trouble you again. Let's go there tomorrow." Mrs. Xu nodded happily .
Mrs. Kang even said yes.
This matter is settled.
After a few people chatted a few more homework, Mrs. Kang said that there was something else at home and she couldn't stay for dinner, so she left in a carriage with Kang Jin and others, and brought two hundred catties of lotus root to help sell.

Before leaving, Qiduo told Mrs. Kang how to preserve lotus root.
Tan Dejin rushed back before lunch, told Qiduo that all the lotus root had been delivered according to the address, and took the money.

And there were three other families who asked him to send another one hundred catties in two days.
Qiduo is very happy, this is a repeat customer, if it is done well, it may develop into a regular customer base.
Mrs. Xu also talked about Mrs. Kang bringing Kang in to buy lotus root.

Tan Dejin couldn't help boasting about Kang Jin again. He was very grateful to Kang Jin for saving him last time and kept it in his heart.

Liuju also chattered to Mrs. Xu, "Mom, you didn't see it last time. Big brother Kang is so powerful. One person can beat several of them. It's really fun to beat those bastards to their knees."

Xu's complexion immediately sank, "De Jin, are you lying to me?"

At Kang's house that day, Tan Dejin recognized Kang Jin, and everyone couldn't help but wonder how they met.

Tan Dejin didn't want Mrs. Xu to know the whole process, fearing that she would be worried when he went out in the future, so he said that a carriage was startled and was about to hit him. Fortunately, Kang Jin took action in time and pulled Liulang and Liuju away. open.

Hearing what he said, Kang Jin naturally wouldn't expose it.

In private, Tan Dejin told Kang Jin the reason for making excuses, Kang Jin understood it, and at the same time he had a deeper impression on Tan Dejin, he never thought that looking at a very thick man, his thoughts would be so meticulous and caring. , In turn, worried about his wife's worries.

Later, when Tan Dejin went to Chunfeng Deyi Building to pick up Qiduo, he also told her not to expose the last incident in front of Mrs. Xu.

Qiduo knows, but Liuju doesn't.

Last time, Qiduo only told Liuju about Kang Jin's identity, but forgot to tell Mo to speak more in front of Mrs. Xu.

So, if you tell a lie, you have to use a hundred lies to cover it up, otherwise, you will be exposed if you are not careful.

Fortunately, Tan Dejin was a white lie last time, not a deception.

Tan Dejin looked at Liuju helplessly, and then told what happened last time.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red, wiped the corners of her eyes, and pointed at Qiduo, Liuju, and Liulang, "The three of you are also cowards, and you listen to your father for everything, and you will hide this kind of thing when you come back. Do I have to wait for something to happen before telling me?"

Qiduo pursed her mouth, stepped forward and took Xu Shi's hand, and said softly, "Mother, daddy won't let us tell, because I'm afraid you will worry. Mother, think about it, everything has happened, let me tell you It's useless, it just makes you worry in vain, and it won't solve any problems, so it's better not to talk about it. So, mother, not only can you not be angry with father, you should be happy."

"You girl, I'm so angry that I'm so happy, how can I be happy?" Xu stared at Qiduo, his face was full of anger.

It's anger, but it's more of worry.

When Qiduo and Tan Dejingang started to go out to do business, she was only worried that Qiduo would be bullied.

Later, Qiduo went out more times, and seeing Qiduo was so smart and capable, knowing that she would not suffer, she slowly let go of her heart.

Moreover, Qiduo always reported the good news but not the bad news. Every time, she just told her the joy when the business was successful, and then handed over the money to her. She never mentioned the setbacks and unhappiness encountered.

Qiduo's smile and self-confidence infected her, making her think that Qiduo and the others were going smoothly outside.

Now that Tan Dejin said this, she felt ashamed suddenly, thinking that she, as a wife and mother, had not fulfilled her responsibilities, which caused her husband and children to be wronged.

Qiduo glanced at Tan Dejin, then smiled and winked at Mrs. Xu, and said mischievously, "Mom, of course you should be happy. I'm glad to have such a good husband as Dad, who always thinks of you. How happy I am."

Both Liuju and Erxia covered their mouths and laughed.

Mrs. Xu blushed, reached out and tapped Qiduo's forehead, and spat, "Qiduo, what are you talking about, you are only a little older than Huangdou, what do you know? Who did you listen to? And not ashamed."

With Xu's feigned scolding, the atmosphere in the room finally eased down.

Liuju looked at Qiduo sticking out her tongue, and let out a long breath, "I never thought that such a good person as Xu Shaodong's family would have such a bad cousin, who looks like a dog, and the reputation of Xu Shaodong's family is covered by him." Bad light."

Xu Le's expression suddenly turned serious again, "How old is that cousin? What does he look like?"

The handkerchief in his hand was tightly squeezed, and there was an indelible tension deep in the bottom of his eyes.

The heart is tightened even more.

"You're fifteen or sixteen years old, you're very handsome, you'll soon be Mr. Wen." Qi Duo replied, what did mother ask this for?
"What's your name?" Xu's voice was trembling, as if there were tears in his eyes.
