The business of Bian Fucheng inns was booming this year. Qin Yao and his wife asked three mid-range inns in succession, but none of them had ordinary rooms to choose from, either full-size bungalows or super luxurious Tianzi No. 1 rooms.
This time, there was no Qi Xianguan to treat guests. Qin Yao focused on one province, and waved her hand, "Move on to the next one!"
She still didn't believe it, it was so difficult to stay in an inn.
Liu Ji had little money in his pocket and no right to speak, so he accepted his fate and continued to drive around the city in the cold wind.
This city is obviously further south than Kaiyang County, but unexpectedly the temperature is lower. Because there is a river in the city, the humidity rises, and it feels like the cold is piercing the bones.
After visiting two more inns, the couple finally found an ordinary room in the inn where they stayed in Fucheng for the first time and successfully checked in.
But after all the fuss, it was already evening.
pity
"Madam, this chicken seems to be hard." Liu Ji came to report nervously, carrying a motionless old hen with his eyes closed.
Qi Xianguan glanced at He Zhanghua dissatisfiedly, "Don't be so rude to your husband."
As for what she said about killing him, Liu Ji said that his ears were about to get calluses when he heard it. She loved it so much, but she couldn't!
"Madam, please come in and warm yourself up. Eat two steamed buns to cushion your belly. These steamed buns are so delicious. Leave these disobedient beasts to me." Liu Ji smiled lightly, conscious of his handsomeness, and lifted up his robe. , squatted down in front of the chicken coop.
Once again, Qi Xianguan said that his junior brother's wife was the strongwoman who helped her win the first place in the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival. She couldn't wait this morning and begged her mother to let her come out to pick up the guests, just to see her as soon as possible.
Qin Yao nodded, "Of course I remember."
“Gugugu—” he called while feeding the rice.
Qi Xianguan nodded and introduced the girl beside him to the couple, "My cousin, He Zhanghua."
“I remember you, the female rower of Hercules!” He Zhanghua said with a smile.
Qin Yao held her forehead and took a deep breath. In the cold winter months, the words coming out of her mouth were even colder, "Let's stew."
Qi Xianguan said with a little satisfaction: "These are the insects that the villagers caught themselves and fed them."
The two baskets of native eggs were intact, and the antlers and Ganoderma lucidum were also lying in the gift boxes. The four fat native chickens were frozen and a little wilted. Qin Yao felt that they would not survive tonight.
A little head emerged from the car. It was a cute pink and white girl wearing a rabbit-head fur hat.
The greeting card stated that he would arrive at noon, leaving time for breakfast and avoiding dinner.
"That's your husband, not mine. He and dad said bad things about me, so what if I just called him old man?" He Zhanghua was so disgusted with the house that even the great Confucian disciple Qi Xianguan looked at him. Don't like it anymore.
“If you are lazy again, I will kill you all tonight!” Qin Yao threatened.
Qi Xianguan then got out of the carriage and called out to his wife and junior brother. Only then did Qin Yao dare to confront what the little girl had just said.
He Zhanghua frowned, what's there to show off!
But I still can't hold back my envy.
Looking at each other and smiling, everything is understood without words.
Obviously, this threat only works against Liu Ji who can understand human speech.
He used his own money to buy a few meat buns, so she couldn't be upset about this little thing, right?
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the side door of He's house, and the coachman said: "Miss, Mr. Cousin, we're here."
Qin Yao quickly sent Liu Ji out to deliver greeting cards so that he could pay a visit tomorrow.
That old man? Qin Yao secretly curled up the corners of her lips, this title was a bit interesting.
He Zhanghua stared at Qin Yao and asked her expectantly: "Madam, do you still remember me?"
As soon as the two of them walked out of the inn, a low-key green carriage also stopped in front of the inn.
Last night, when Qi Xianguan told his mother that he had built his own lotus courtyard in Liujiacun, she almost cried with envy.
She teased them with rice for a while, trying to get them to run around to get some fresh air. A quarter of an hour later, the four chickens in the chicken coop didn't even get out of the chicken coop. They were nestled on the straw pile in the cage, with their eyes closed.
The cousins quarreled again, and Qin Yao just looked at them and said nothing.
Liu Ji glanced at her suspiciously, "Madam, I didn't offend you today, did I?"
At night, while drinking delicious chicken soup, the couple looked at the three lively chickens in the corner of the room, frowned slightly, and said in unison:
“Three are unlucky, how about killing another one?”
"You're welcome, get in the car. My cousin and I are here to pick you up on mother's orders." He Zhanghua didn't have any pretense at all. She was like an enthusiastic little girl from the neighbor's house. She opened her big eyes and looked at Qin Yao. Couple.
Qin Yao opened the door to the guest room and sat in the room eating meat buns. Suddenly she felt that the world was beautiful.
“Senior brother, are you coming to pick us up?” Liu Ji asked excitedly.
Liu Ji grinned and hurriedly sent the freshly frozen chicken to the inn kitchen.
The couple looked at each other, and Qin Yao's face became even more ugly.
Liu Ji understood the human words and immediately shuddered, but soon couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, it turns out that these four chickens made the lady unhappy, and they scared me to death."
When he saw Liu Ji, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly attracted by the chicken in the cage.
She stayed alone in the inn, packing up the New Year gifts she had brought.
"We are so destined." He Zhanghua said excitedly: "I didn't expect that you not only helped me win first place, but also saved my cousin and the old man Gong Liangxiao."
Qin Yao naturally took the paper bag from his hand and stuffed a bowl of brown rice into Liu Ji's hand, "If these four chickens don't come out of the cage and run out of energy today, I will kill you tonight!"
After getting up from sleep, the couple tidied up their appearances. Qin Yao held the gift box, Liu Ji held the chicken coop in her left hand and eggs in her right hand. They left the guest room in a very down-to-earth manner, preparing to visit Magistrate He's house.
If Liu Ji could always be so obedient, she wouldn't mind giving him more sweet treats.
Four chickens: "."
Qin Yao had a big appetite, and one pot of chicken was simply not enough. Late at night, Liu Ji stewed another one for her as a supper. She was satisfied before falling asleep after eating. Liu Ji consciously laid on the floor and had good eyesight. He didn't want to turn into a one-eyed dragon when he went to see the nobleman tomorrow.
Fortunately, the remaining three finally escaped from the cage due to the temptation of food. They were chased around by Liu Ji in the yard and finally regained their vitality.
Because He Zhanghua was a girl, Liu Ji consciously stayed outside the carriage, while Qin Yao and Qi Xianguan were the only ones sitting in the carriage.
There were brisk footsteps and humming from behind. Qin Yao looked back and saw Liu Ji returning from sending greetings. He was holding a bag of hot buns and smiling.
The couple bowed politely together and said, "Ms. He."
The arguing cousins suddenly realized that the guest was still there.
Qi Xianguan didn't care. Anyway, he and Qin Yao and his wife were already very familiar with each other.
He Zhanghua was a little embarrassed. He was too embarrassed to speak as he led the guests in.
