Chapter 91
Chapter 91 Blame the old man and take advantage of him
Before dawn the next day, we started on our way again.
Because they didn't sleep well, the three little ones on the road were not as happy as they were yesterday.
Halfway through, it suddenly started raining.
Seeing that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, we are still some distance away from the next town.
Su Jinxiu was not familiar with the road conditions ahead, so she could only find a nearby dilapidated temple to stay.
After parking the carriage, she led several people into the ruined temple.
Make a fire and let them dry their clothes first.
Zhang Qiushui glanced at the darkening sky and frowned worriedly.
"Look at this situation, the rain won't stop for a while.
I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night here tonight."
Su Jinxiu glanced at the sky, turned around and put the pot on the fire.
Then don't worry, wait until the rain stops before leaving."
Wash and cut the cured pork ribs, stir-fry until fragrant and add potato slices and diced radish.
Add the washed rice, cover the pot and simmer.
The sound of rain falls and the fragrance gradually spreads.
Needless to say, the three little ones were waiting aside obediently with their bowls in hand.
Looking at the heat, Su Jinxiu couldn't help but smile, then opened the lid of the pot.
"Okay, it's time to eat."
The hot steam rises up, and the aroma of rice combined with the alluring aroma of wax makes people salivate.
Before I could take action, I heard the sound of a car's wheels.
Then, a gleaming golden carriage stopped at the entrance of the ruined temple.
The carriage is decorated with all kinds of gems, except for a handful of "I'm very rich, come and grab a few big words from me" and write them on it.
Just walking around like this, but nothing happened.
Su Jinxiu felt that the public security in Sheng Dynasty was really good.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a chubby old man jumped out and ran into the ruined temple.
"Oh, it's raining really hard.
Let's take shelter here before leaving. What is the little girl doing?
Smell it, it smells so good!”
The old man has a fair face and a fat body, and he looks like a Maitreya Buddha with a smile.
Without Su Jinxiu's greeting, he took the initiative to step forward.
He was staring directly into the pot, with that look on his face, I felt really embarrassed not to ask him to eat.
"Braised pork ribs with rice, old man, can we have some together?"
He was polite at first, but the old man was not polite at all.
He took the bowl aside and waited next to it.
"How embarrassing is that? I'm not very hungry, just have a taste."
Su Shangwu looked at the old man and muttered.
"I really don't see why you are so embarrassed."
However, Su Jinxiu would not be stingy with a bowl of rice.
She first filled a bowl for the old man, and then divided the rest with them.
Several people sat down one after another and started eating.
The rice absorbs the meaty aroma of the cured pork ribs, making it oily and fragrant.
The potato slices are soft and the radish cubes relieve the greasiness.
One mouthful after another, I couldn't stop.
After finishing a bowl of rice, the old man still had something to say and stretched his head to look into the pot.
“The little girl looks young, but her cooking skills are superb.
Are you getting married this year?
I have a nephew who looks like..."
Before he finished speaking, the driver outside entered the ruined temple.
"Sir, if the master knew.
You sold him with just a bowl of rice, and I'm afraid it's you who will be stewed in the pot next time."
The old man's hands shook when he thought of the evil spirit.
After coming back to his senses, he smiled at Su Jinxiu.
"My nephew has nothing but a human face.
If the little girl is not married, I have a great candidate."
Su Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh, got up and served the remaining rice to the old man.
"Thank you, old man. I already have a husband-in-law at home.
There’s not much rice left, just rice dumplings, okay?”
As soon as people said it, she would just shirk it. Anyway, she wouldn't really check whether she had a husband-in-law.
The old man nodded quickly without even thinking about it.
"Okay, okay, it couldn't be better."
After dinner, the rain subsided.
Su Jinxiu packed her things and prepared to leave.
The old man stood up together and walked to the door to see Su Jinxiu off.
"Little girl, are you leaving now? Where are you going?
We are going north, are you going too?
Tsk, our horse is so angry that it refuses to go.
Otherwise, it should be the same section of the road."
Then I can eat two more bowls of rice. I wonder what the little girl will do in the evening?
Su Jinxiu glanced at the direction of the old man's carriage and shook her head.
"We are going south, by a different route."
As he was talking, the old man's horse snorted a few times.
Su Jinxiu frowned and looked around.
I grabbed a few handfuls of weeds and fed them to the horses.
"Old man, your horse is upset.
Don’t feed it randomly, just let it clear its stomach and rest.”
When the driver saw this, he was about to stop him.
"No..."
The old man stretched out his hand to stop him and looked at Su Jinxiu with a smile.
“The little girl can not only cook, but also treat horses?
He is really an all-rounder. If you go south, you will go to the capital.
We should have another chance to meet in the future."
Su Jinxiu didn't say much, smiled, drove the carriage, and left without looking back.
————————
Because the rain delayed their journey for half a day, they arrived at Yingxian County on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Zhang Qiushui led them to her sister's home, which was a secluded courtyard.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhang Qiushui got off the carriage.
At a glance, I saw Zhang Qiuye watering the flowers in the yard.
"Sister..."
She called out and walked quickly into the yard.
The water ladle in Zhang Qiuye's hand fell to the ground with a sound, and when he saw that it was Zhang Qiushui.
His eyes immediately turned red, and he quickly went over to hug him.
"After so many years, I still don't know how to come and see my eldest sister.
I thought you had forgotten that you have an eldest sister.
Let eldest sister take a look. She looks good and is energetic.
The rude man looked at you and treated you very well."
Zhang Qiushui looked at Zhang Qiuye and cried, and couldn't stop his own tears.
"He treats me very well. How is eldest sister?"
The two sisters had not seen each other for a long time and were crying and talking at the same time.
Su Jinxiu didn't bother and moved the things on the carriage into the yard.
With three little ones, they stood quietly aside.
Zhang Qiuye came back to his senses, saw a few people, and wiped away tears.
"Qiushui, who are these?"
"Oh, look at my brain, why did I forget them?"
Zhang Qiushui called Su Jinxiu and the others over and introduced them.
"Jinxiu, this is my eldest sister.
Just call her Aunt Qiuye!"
Su Jinxiu smiled obediently and greeted the three little ones together.
"Hello, Aunt Qiuye, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zhang Qiuye looked at a few people and frowned slightly.
"Stop standing outside and go inside first."
She placed Su Jinxiu and the others in the west room, waiting for them to wash up and go to bed.
He pulled Zhang Qiushui into the room, and the two sisters lay together, as if they were back when they were children.
Once I start talking, I can't stop talking.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, I fell asleep for a while.
When I got up, I found that Su Jinxiu was already in the kitchen.
"Aunt Qiuye, I see you and Aunt Qiu Shui haven't gotten up yet.
I made breakfast first, but I don’t know if it’s to your liking.”
The three little ones were busy in the kitchen, looking very sensible.
Zhang Qiuye heard Zhang Qiushui say something good about Su Jinxiu last night, and when he saw the four of them, their eyes became much kinder.
"Miss Su is here as a guest, how can you let the guest cook?
I was rude, Qiu Shui told me.
After dinner, I'll help you clean up the room.
From now on, you, younger brothers and sisters, please stay here."
Hearing Zhang Qiuye's words, Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The environment here is good, with three courtyards and a study room.
Judging from Aunt Qiuye's temperament, she is not difficult to get along with.
With three kids here, it should be fine.
Coachman: "Master, I will never let anyone get involved with you."
The old prince: "Boy, your wife has been driven away."
