Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 252 Pretending to be mysterious
Little Youniang smiled like a flower, and from time to time she picked up food for her mother Xu Liyun, looking filial and well-behaved: "Mother, you have to eat more meat, try this tender braised pork, and this, today's chicken soup is very delicious, you must try it too!"
Xu Liyun looked at her daughter's overly enthusiastic appearance with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Years of life experience told her that this girl must be hiding some evil ideas in her mind.
"Tell me, what are you planning?"
Xu Liyun asked half-jokingly and half-seriously. Xiao Youniang chuckled and pretended to be mysterious: "I don't have any ideas. I just feel sorry for my mother and want you to taste all the delicacies in the world."
Xu Liyun rolled her eyes helplessly, obviously not believing this rhetoric: "Stop talking nonsense to me, just say it now if you have something to say, don't keep me in suspense!"
Xiao Youniang blinked her bright eyes and suddenly changed the subject: "It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Hu came home yesterday. In addition to picking up the goods, she should have settled last month's accounts with mother, right? How much silver did she receive?"
Xu Liyun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's why you are so attentive to me today. But rules are rules. I said that you can't act rashly without 10,000 taels of silver. The expansion of the villa is not a trivial matter, and money is needed everywhere. You'd better be patient!"
Seeing her sister so impatient, Zhang Wuya gently consoled her, "Young lady, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for another two months until all the accounts are settled. It won't be too late to start work then. Don't forget the storytelling share from the teahouse, the profits from the two clothing stores, and the profit from the food supply from the Jixiang Restaurant, especially the dividends from the rouge shop that we run together with Madam Hu in Beijing. Add all these together, it shouldn't be difficult to accumulate 10,000 taels in two months!"
Xu Liyun smiled and picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Youniang's bowl, her eyes full of love: "Your sister is really thoughtful and considerate. Youniang, you might as well take advantage of this time to practice martial arts, instead of just thinking about building a house and opening a shop all day long."
The little girl stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and continued to eat. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she also understood that what her elder sister said made sense.
In the afternoon, sunlight shines into the house through the window, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the freshness of soil.
Xiao Youniang paused in the perfume studio for a moment, looking at the bright spring light outside the window. Suddenly, she felt that the monotonous and repetitive perfume making work had become a little boring: "Zicheng, why don't we go to Chengguan County to relax? Just think of it as practicing Qinggong?"
Zhang Ming raised his head when he heard this, his face full of confusion: "Second sister, are you serious?"
Xiao Youniang nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "If you are tired from running, we can just walk back slowly. It's so boring to stay at home all the time on such a nice day! Big sister, what do you think? Do you want to join us?"
Zhang Wuya sniffed the porcelain bottle in her hand, closed the lid, and nodded with satisfaction. The newly prepared jasmine perfume was finished. "You guys go ahead. I don't like running, nor am I keen on practicing martial arts. I plan to go to the tailor shop to see if my mother needs help."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Youniang spread her hands helplessly, and sighed silently in her heart: My sister is becoming more and more responsible. Although she is younger at this time and space, she seems to have forgotten the importance of rest. Children should have the fun of children!
"Okay then. Zicheng and I will go first. Sis, remember to tell mother!"
Zhang Wuya reminded them: "You must go home before dinner. Don't play too crazy. Also, don't cause trouble outside."
Zhang Mingyi straightened his sleeves and said confidently, "Don't worry, big sister, I will take good care of the second sister."
"Let's go! Let's go, brother. I'll let you see my lightness skills!"
Before Xiao Youniang finished her words, she broke into a sprint, and then her figure was as light as an arrow, leaping over the courtyard wall and disappearing into the warm sunshine.
"Second sister, wait for me!"
Zhang Mingyi's voice was mixed with a bit of anxiety and panting. He followed the agile figure closely and chased after him with all his strength. The two figures turned into two gusts of wind under the afternoon sun. The tacit understanding between them was like the martial arts skills that had been practiced for many years, and they were eager to improve with every leap.
Zhang Laoer and Grandpa Zhang finished a day's work and walked out of the vegetable greenhouse full of greenery side by side. Zhang Laoer stroked his gray beard and looked in confusion in the direction where the two little guys had just passed by. "Hey, Laoer, did you see what just whizzed past? Could it be the two big black rats at the end of the village that made a fuss?"
"Dad, judging from their speed and figures, it's most likely Youniang and Zicheng practicing martial arts."
Grandpa Zhang narrowed his eyes and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was secretly pleased with the progress of his granddaughter and grandson.
……
At this time, on a remote path not far away, a flower thief in unruly clothes was carrying a pretty girl of only fifteen years old. He ran towards his hiding place quickly with the lightness of his feet, leaving behind only a series of erratic afterimages.
The brother and sister had run to the main road leading to Chengguan County. The wide road was glowing in the sun, and the scenery on both sides unfolded like a picture scroll.
"Oh my god, my lungs are going to explode if I run this fast."
Zhang Mingyi panted and sat down on the side of the road, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped into the dust under his feet.
Seeing this, Xiao Youniang's eyes flashed with concern, and she pointed to an old tree with lush branches and leaves not far ahead, "It's so hot, how about we take a rest under that big tree and take a rest to catch our breath?"
The two moved to the precious shade and leaned against the thick tree trunk. The little girl rummaged through her small cross-body bag for snacks, trying to relieve the boredom of this short break.
At this moment, her eyes inadvertently caught an unusual scene: a thin, one-eyed man with prominent facial features, carrying a bulging sack on his shoulder, behaving stealthily, and his flickering eyes seemed to be looking for some unspeakable secret.
At this moment, the midday sun has quietly set, and most of the villagers are immersed in the busy spring ploughing. In addition, today is not a market day, so the road leading to the county town is sparsely populated and unusually quiet.
The one-eyed man seemed to have sensed the opportunity. He looked around and made sure that no one was watching. He gently placed the sack in his hand into the grass and then made a heinous move.
He moved closer to the sack and used an indescribable look and movements to sniff the secrets in the sack.
"Just stay here. I'm going to relieve myself and I'll take you home right away."
His voice was low, but it couldn't hide the vulgarity in it.
After saying this, he stood a few steps away from the sack and started to do his job without any scruples.
