Chapter 212 Picked up a little girl
Xi'er took off the veil, Qian Furong looked at Xi'er seriously this time.

"It's not very ugly when you look closely. Your eyes are very beautiful. If you restore your appearance, you must be a great beauty."

Xi'er didn't respond to her, she reached out to pick up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, then picked it up and took a sip.

Only Qian Furong asked, "How many days are you staying here?"

"I don't know, I came with my master."

"Are you here to accompany him on business?"

Xi'er nodded lightly, but still didn't like to answer her topic, she got up and opened the window facing the street, a gust of north wind blew in,
Both Qian Furong and her maid shuddered, and the little maid hurriedly ran over and closed the window.

With a reproachful tone, he said: "My lady will get sick if the cold wind blows."

"So delicate?"

"My lady is delicate."

"Then what kind of private room facing the street is needed, just any one."

Qian Furong was a little embarrassed, got up and went over, glared at the servant girl, then opened the window with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, is it snowing?"

Xi'er glanced at the window, "Before I came here, I thought it was snowing, and it really did. It's a rare pleasure to eat a pot and watch the snow. You're not so weak, are you?"

"No, no."

At this moment, the buddy brought the pot over and began to arrange the dishes. It was no problem for three people to eat eight dishes.

Xi'er actually didn't want to eat with her, she didn't know her well, and she felt uncomfortable eating.

She sat in her seat, scalded the meat a few times, and then ate it with the sauce, as if she came here just to eat and had nothing to do with Qian Furong.

The little girl was sitting next to Qian Furong, she couldn't understand Luo Xi'er, she had such an attitude when her lady invited her to dinner.

But Xi'er didn't look at them at all, and ate by herself, Qian Furong was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Xi'er, are you still angry with me?"

"No, there are many people chasing after my husband-in-law, so I can't get angry."

"Then why don't you talk to me?"

"To be honest, I don't know you well, and I don't know what to say. I originally planned to go out to eat by myself, but it was an accident to meet you."

"Can we be friends?"

"I'm very busy and don't have time to make friends. Besides, I'm not out of my mind to make friends with a girl who misses my husband."

"I was wrong before, but then I figured it out, and now I don't worry about it anymore."

Xi'er glanced at her eyes and knew that she was not lying, "I believe you, girls from the Qian family in the capital keep their words."

"Of course, then can we make friends?"

"Can"

"Haha, I knew that Miss Xi'er would let go of the previous suspicions. By the way, I'll ask you for someone."

"Who?"

"Chen Changsheng, the No. 1 scholar in this scientific examination, my brother-in-law said he is very good. He is a good material."

"He's from a humble family, can your family agree?"

"What my Qian family values ​​is character. What does it have to do with money? Besides, although my family has a high family background, it is not rich."

"A noble family?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the business you cooperated with my sister, my sister has always been tight, and you have done her a big favor."

"Everyone gets what they need."

While Xi'er was talking, she didn't stop eating, unlike Qian Furong, who forgot everything when she spoke, and the little girl next to her kept pulling her.

"Miss, hurry up and eat, it's not good for your stomach if it's cold."

"oh oh"

The two of them were eating the hot pot and watching the snow falling harder and harder outside. It was not dark at this time, and the streets were full of people and cars, and it was very lively.

After a while, the roofs in the distance were all white.

The two of them sweated all over and felt comfortable, and Qian Furong was in high spirits.

"Let's go out to enjoy the scenery in a while?"

"Okay!"

As soon as she came out of Piaoxiang Building, Qian Furong warmly held Xi'er's hand.

It made her feel a little unnatural, but it disappeared in a moment.

The two girls walked down the street holding hands. At this time, the number of passers-by and vehicles had decreased a lot, and there was already a thick layer of white snow on the untouched places on the ground.

Qian Furong introduced her to her while walking, Xi'er really wanted to say that a few years ago, before Qian Furong came to Quzhou, she had already visited Quzhou.

"Candied haws, sweet and sour candied haws."

Qian Furong was so happy when she heard the cry, she immediately ran over looking for the sound.

"Old man, come three skewers"

"fifteen essays"

"Cuihong, give me the money."

She picked out three skewers and gave one to the little girl and one to Xi'er.

"Eat it quickly, eat it to digest food."

Xi'er looked at the bunch of candied haws in her hand, which was far worse than what she made herself, but she couldn't resist her kindness, so she took a bite and ate it.

"It's really sour."

"Yeah, this kind of fruit is very sour. It has to be made like this to make it sour and sweet. I like to eat a bunch after eating. It feels good in my stomach."

"Well, it's getting late, I'll take you home."

"Let me see you off, the two of us."

"I know martial arts."

"Oh, then I'm sorry."

Xi'er sent her to the gate of Liang's residence, Qian Furong pulled her with some reluctance.

"Go in and sit down, anyway, you know my brother-in-law and the others."

"No, my master and the others are still waiting for me at home,"

"Then where do you live? I'll find you tomorrow."

"I have to do errands, so I'm usually not at home during the day."

"Oh, what a pity, can I go to Huaishu Town to find you in the future?"

"I don't have time for you."

"I'll accompany you. I can learn how to do business from you. It happens that my sister has a house over there. I can go and live there for a while, and take a look at that Chen Changsheng."

"He is my husband's friend."

"Surely that's not bad?"

"It's half a catty."

"That's it, then I'll go in."

"Ah."

Xi'er watched the two of them enter the gate of the Liang Mansion, then turned around and walked back.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the night in Quzhou is still very peaceful, and there are not so many beggars. It seems that during the period of prefect Liang's governance, the people are still living well.

But, there was still something, she saw a seven or eight-year-old girl not far in front of her, watching pitifully at the door of the steamed bun shop, swallowing her saliva non-stop.

She walked a few steps and stopped in front of her, "Want to eat?"

The little girl looked up at her, "I want to eat, but I have no money."

"where is your family?"

"My father died, my mother died in love, my uncle wanted to sell me, and I ran away by myself."

"You don't have anything to eat by begging. After you sell it, you can still have a bite of food when you go to someone else's house."

"They want to sell me into a building. I will never go there even if I die. My mother says that place is dirty."

Xi'er patted her head, took out ten cents from the purse, and shouted at the owner of the steamed bun shop.

"Here's a flower roll worth ten pennies."

The boss put the rolls in an oilcloth bag, handed them to Xi'er and said, "You bought it for her, right? This child is here every day, and I will give her something to eat almost every day."

Xi'er gave the money to the boss, and then handed the oilcloth bag to the little girl.

"Eat, eat and talk about business."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and continued walking forward. The little girl hugged the hot flower rolls in her arms, and followed her while eating.

After she finished eating, Xi'er said, "I need a girl by my side, are you willing to follow me?"

"As long as you don't go to the building, you can eat three meals a day."

"Not only will you be fed, but you will also be paid, and you will be taught skills. Would you like to?"

"willing."

"Learning skills requires hardship."

"I am not afraid of suffering, I am the daughter of a poor family."

"Then come with me."

Passing by the ready-made clothing store, she bought some sets of clothes for her from it, and did not let her change there, but led her back to the house directly.

Hu's father and son didn't eat dinner at night, and they haven't woken up until now, they are still sleeping soundly.

She didn't bother them either, and took the little girl back to her room, cleaned her hair and the parasites on her body, and then sent someone to bring hot water over, washed the little girl three layers inside, three layers outside, and washed her. After several times, she was asked to put on new clothes.
