029: She feels that her logic is self-consistent
But when she thought of the godbrother Chang Xi had mentioned before, Aunt Luo suddenly realized, but she didn't expect that Chang Xi would ask her here specifically for this purpose.
"Mrs. Chang, just ask me, I will try my best to handle it well."
Chang Xi smiled and didn't say anything more, just let her understand it like this first.
However, there is something I can tell Nanny Luo.
"Mama Luo, there is something I need you to do for me."
Seeing Chang Xi's solemn expression, Grandma Luo also put away her flattering smile and said, "You tell me."
"I want you to help me keep an eye on Master Xie Jiu's whereabouts. I want to know when he will return home."
Chang Xi originally wanted to go over and test the fourth lady Qin, but after careful consideration, she decided that it would be more appropriate to let a middle-aged and elderly woman like Aunt Luo do the testing.
As for Dongli and Xiaotao, neither of them is suitable for this matter. If they are young and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, they may not be able to explain clearly. According to Qin's style, they will be beaten to death with a stick. She will not
I am happy to see this situation; secondly, I am also young and have limited network resources in the government, so I am more likely to become bald than middle-aged and elderly women.
Aunt Luo was immediately surprised and couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. No, she thought Chang Xi had no thoughts about Master Jiu before. Why did she specifically ask her to do this now?
However, after thinking about it, I seemed to be able to figure out that Chang Xi was the fourth wife who specially gave birth to Jiu Ye Dianlai. It seemed reasonable to care about Jiu Ye. After all, how can a woman not care about her man, even if the relationship is only temporary.
She felt that her logic was self-consistent.
So, when she raised her head to look at Chang Xi and was about to reply, she met Chang Xi's magnanimous eyes. There was no hint of shyness on that pretty face, and there was no hesitation in her behavior. She was immediately confused again. This Mrs. Chang
It’s really hard to see through.
"Mommy, there's no need to think too much, just do as I say."
Chang Xi wouldn't take these people's thoughts to heart at all. After all, she had seen many people like this who tried to understand her thoughts.
What she needs is strong execution, not people trying to understand her.
"Yes, I have written it down." Aunt Luo was a little embarrassed to have Chang Xi reveal her secrets, but since Chang Xi wanted to care about Master Jiu, she took advantage of the girl Dongli not being in the room, approached Chang Xi and whispered
, "Mrs. Chang, would you like me to inquire about Master Jiu's preferences? I have a good brother of my god-sister's son who is serving at Master Jiu's side..."
This is a sign of goodwill.
Chang Xi felt Mammy Luo's flattery. Perhaps there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with her in her previous life, so she had long been immune to such behavior. She waved her hand and said, "I appreciate your kindness."
She doesn't need Aunt Luo to do such useless work. After all, she was once a high-ranking person. She believes that Mr. Jie Jiu is not someone whose thoughts can be easily figured out. The preferences he inquiring about will probably make her
If a misjudgment occurs, the gain will outweigh the loss.
The flattery hit the horse's leg, and Grandma Luo couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Chang Xi casually said a few words to comfort Nanny Luo, and then gave up when she saw that her expression was as normal.
Dongli just brought breakfast.
Chang Xi saw that there was a table full of small tables. She didn't have much appetite at the moment, so she only left a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and a drawer of small steamed buns. The rest was divided between Nanny Luo, Dongli and Xiaotao. She
She has no habit of letting others eat her leftovers.
When Zhang Yingda on the other side carried the vegetables to the city market, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Why do we have to take the bullock cart? The old man took three copper coins from us. He was clearly bullying us because we are children." Zhou Afa complained.
Zhang Lianzi was thankful that she had taken a bullock cart on the way back, otherwise her feet would have been swollen. However, when she thought of spending three copper coins, her heart couldn't help but throb.
"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf." Zhang Yingda spread out the rags he picked up and put all the vegetables and melons on it. If he had to walk back, he would probably miss the wave of people buying vegetables in the morning. That's called
The gain outweighs the loss.
The melons and vegetables were laid out, but among the three of them, you looked at me and I looked at you, and no one had ever hawked. It was the first time this girl got on the sedan chair, and she was inevitably a little embarrassed.
Zhang Yingda was the initiator after all. He gritted his teeth and stood up to shout, "Fresh vegetables and vegetables are sold cheaply——"
Compared with the shouting and shouting around him, the voice of the half-grown boy was directly drowned, and no one even noticed the three and a half-year-old children in the corner.
Zhou Afa was already feeling uneasy. Seeing that his good brother had been selling for several times but not a single buyer was attracted, he suddenly felt a little discouraged. However, when he thought of putting in nearly two taels of silver, the melons and vegetables he received were really rotten.
In his hands, his heart was bleeding again, so he stood up and grabbed a few fresh cucumbers, walked directly to the road and stopped people to ask if they wanted to buy cucumbers?
When Zhang Yingda saw Zhou Afa being rejected repeatedly, the first thing that came to his mind was not sadness, but the benefits Chang Xi got from showing weakness that day. He immediately grabbed vegetables and rushed to the middle of the road to sell them.
"Auntie, please take pity on the child and help me buy vegetables, otherwise I will be beaten when I go back..." He begged the kind-hearted aunt in front of him with a mournful face.
The fat lady carrying the vegetable basket saw Zhang Yingda's pitiful appearance, and she immediately sympathized. She had to buy vegetables anyway, and said, "Then show me your vegetables. I don't want the stale ones..."
"Fresh, all fresh." Zhang Yingda hurriedly showed it to her.
The fat lady took it in her hand and looked at it. It was indeed fresh vegetables, so she asked how much it would cost.
"These are five coppers in total."
When she heard the quotation, the fat lady frowned. The price was almost the same as the market price. She wanted to compare it before buying. Then she saw the little girl guarding the stall coming over and pulling her sleeves, and she said with tears in her eyes,
"Auntie, please take pity on us. If we can't sell it, my father will beat us brothers and sisters to death when we go back..."
Seeing how pitifully the little girl was crying, the fat lady felt pity and directly gave her five copper coins and took away the melons and vegetables in Zhang Yingda's hand.
Zhang Yingda clenched the five copper coins in his hand and successfully sold vegetables for the first time. At this time, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Ada, Ada, look, I earned three copper coins." Zhou Afa came over excitedly and put the copper coins into Zhang Yingda's hand, and suddenly felt excited.
The three children looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly they became more energetic.
