Chapter 243 Deliberately Suppressing
Brother Xiaodong's actions were originally based on their lady's wishes. He wanted to use these valuable foreign objects to hit these foreigners and let them see the financial resources of the prefecture's yamen, so that poor people like them would feel fear in their hearts. stand up.
Ke Ke talked dryly all the way, but Brother Xiaodong found that none of these people, whether they were older, younger, or that little girl, had the slightest interest in what he was talking about. What is priceless seems to be no different from the broken bricks and tiles on the roadside in their eyes.
This caused Brother Xiaodong to have a look of frustration on his face.
Why do these people have such expressions?
Could it be said that these things cannot enter their eyes?
Although these things are indeed not comparable to the furnishings at their lady's place, they are still good things. Why do these foreigners...
Suddenly, Brother Xiaodong reacted.
The look in his eyes became more and more contemptuous.
He understood that these outsiders were all country bumpkins, so they couldn't see that these flowers, plants and furnishings were priceless things.
However, Brother Xiaodong knew the importance, so he did not speak and lowered his head to hide the look in his eyes.
Such a person will not be favored by their lady for a long time. When they lose favor and the lady no longer pays attention to them, that is when he will vent his anger!
Because of the delay, when they finished visiting and staying in the courtyard, the table of food was also delivered.
Xue Ting glanced at the table of food. It was so late at night that it was rare for them to prepare such a table of chicken, duck and fish.
But this also shows how extravagant the prefect's Yamen is usually.
"A few distinguished guests, please take it easy. Say hello after eating, and someone will take care of it. If you want to take a bath for a while, just call out. Hot water and other things are ready." Brother Xiaodong caught a glimpse of their eyes and also Not wanting to stay any longer, he smiled and asked them to use it slowly, while he smeared his feet and slipped away.
"Are you hungry?" Xue Ting asked Long Baoer.
This table is not bad. Although it is the people's support and support, it has been made. If you don't eat, you will not eat. The account can be kept in the head of the prefect's Yamen.
The food was indeed good. Xue Ting had someone prepare hot water and washed his sister's face and hands first.
I was sitting on the threshold just now, and my clothes were a little dusty.
Qinglang and Chang Yi also went to wash their hands and came back, and sat down at the table.
Although they ate something before the sun went down, it was just some snacks from the tea shop. It was completely dark by now, so it wouldn't hurt to have another meal.
Several people picked up their chopsticks and picked the good ones to eat.
I didn’t eat too much, after all, it was getting late.
But it doesn’t matter, it can’t be wasted.
They asked people to prepare hot water for bathing in front of them, but Sakura opened her mouth and swallowed all the dishes on the table.
When the maids brought hot water and cleared away the leftovers on the table, they were all shocked.
This, this food is too clean?
Were there really two adults and two children in the room just now? Is this the appetite of seven or eight strong men?
Several people took a bath separately, and Long Baoer was also taken care of by the little maid and washed again.
He was still mumbling, "I haven't been given a bath for several days. This time, I take two baths a day."
The little girl's dissatisfaction made Xue Ting, who was guarding the door, laugh silently.
After Long Baoer was clean, Xue Ting took his sister back to the room and put her to sleep. Qinglang came over quietly and said, "Brother Xue, I'm going back to the inn."
Xue Ting nodded.
They were taken from the inn to the magistrate's office, but the two Taoist priests didn't know. There is always one who has to go back and wait for the two Taoists, just in case they come back.
It doesn't matter here.
Just after taking a shower, he had already asked all the servants to leave the small courtyard.
What's more, Qinglang didn't go through the main door, so no one knew he left.
After talking to Xue Ting, Qinglang turned and left.
Xue Ting waited for Long Baoer to fall asleep, and then went to the outer room to sleep with Chang Yi.
After Brother Xiaodong left the courtyard, he was called over by the lady and asked about the past.
Brother Xiaodong told what he saw. In order to please the young lady, he even added some extra details, saying that these people were all country bumpkins from other places who didn’t understand anything. They didn’t understand these good things at all. By turning a blind eye, I let down the lady’s kindness in vain.
The lady just listened indifferently, and then waved Brother Xiaodong to retreat.
Brother Xiaodong didn't know what the lady meant, but he still scratched his head and left.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" The person accompanying the lady at this time has been replaced by Qiu'er, who was flirting with Brother Xiaodong before.
"It's nothing, it's just that Xiaodong doesn't understand." The lady smiled slightly.
"Huh? Qiu'er doesn't understand what the lady is saying."
The young lady seemed to be in a very good mood now, so she just said a few words to Qiu'er.
"That young master's temperament shows that he is not an ordinary person. If he is not from a wealthy family, there is no way he can raise such a person."
"Then, miss..." Qiu'er had a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, although he comes from a wealthy family, I'm afraid he is just a small rich man. Can he be bigger than my prefect's yamen?" The young lady chuckled, "I will let him see more wealth and greater rights. Men, there is no one who doesn’t love these.”
"It's better to stand high and see far!" Qiu'er looked at the young lady with admiration.
"You are the only one with a sweet mouth." The young lady seemed to be in a better mood after being complimented by Qiu'er, "Tomorrow you go prepare their breakfast and then invite them over."
"Yes, miss! The person you like will definitely not escape your grasp."
Just as the lady was about to speak, there was a noise in the distance.
The lady frowned, "It's really disgusting!"
