On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 105 Storytelling

No matter how dissatisfied the shopkeeper was, he would not dare to offend them.

Otherwise, people will give you any excuse to let the servants come to your door and affect your business.

He asked them to sit down, and then went to prepare tea himself and buy snacks from the pastry shop nearby. He was more attentive than serving his own parents.

The moment Xiao Xiao saw Mrs. He, what she thought in her heart was: Fortunately, she didn't live in the county town.

Otherwise, there would be too many people who dislike them.

Mr. Wu was afraid that they would come to visit him before, but today he actually met his eldest sister's former husband's family.

And he also became an official.

It is said that the official rank kills people, so they are just ordinary people now, and they are still the kind who cannot stand the investigation. Of course, they are more afraid of seeing the official family members.

Xiao Xiao felt that she could not offend me if she wanted to pursue her principles, but she could afford to hide.

She couldn't help but think wrong: both the co-author and the one we didn't deal with had money and connections, so it was simply a dead end.

At this moment, she was eagerly looking forward to it. The procedures for buying a house for cheap dad had not been completed yet, so they could pack up and leave quickly, right?

No, he left in a hurry.

She felt that if the Wu family knew that she wanted to leave, they would probably be willing to help create a new road guide.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao had been silent, Mrs. He finally couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Hey, isn't this Miss Xiao San? Didn't you say you were going to the capital? Why did you escape here? Did your eldest sister see you at first? If you don’t marry my eldest son, I wonder which young master you’ll be married to now?”

Bai's lips curled up and she said sarcastically: "Sister, your eyesight is not very good. Fortunately, the original thing didn't work out. Otherwise, wouldn't it have delayed Da Lang?"

When Xiao Xiao saw her, he knew in his heart that she must be aggrieved by what happened at the beginning.

If the He family had said that the two families would run away together, then the Xiao family would definitely have no problem.

But the He family also made another request. It would be too much to ask Xiao Xiu to advance to the He family.

Nowadays, people pay attention to marriage, and the three matchmakers and six betrothals are not finished yet.

Even if that time is a special time, you can't pay special attention to the date. If you don't have a wedding sedan, you still have to prepare wedding robes and let He Dalang come to welcome you in person. Only then can you welcome the newlyweds.

If you hire someone, you will become your wife; if you run, you will become a concubine.

If Xiao Xiu really walked in like that, she couldn't be considered a wife at all.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao doesn't care about reputation and can be shameless when necessary.

She looked shy: "We were originally going to the capital, but thanks to the general's rescue on the way, we were allowed to settle in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

She didn't say it clearly, but her expression revealed that the general and I had a story that couldn't be told.

Then he sighed again: "My general has more control than my father. He doesn't allow me to wear women's clothes or wear makeup, but he insists that I know how to bow and arrow."

It's not difficult to make up a fictional general.

After all, in her previous life, in many movies and TV shows, the heroine could meet the prince and general through time travel.

But now in this special period, there is a prince in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She is afraid that the cowhide will be broken if she blows it too much.

Then we can only settle for the next best thing and say that we have met a general.

This is also because she heard Jiang Yu say before that although Wuning County is not in a critical position, it is still considered one of the important bases for food production.

The soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are moved.

In times of war, food is particularly critical.

Therefore, King Jin'an specially sent soldiers and horses to garrison.

However, the local officials could not move the soldiers without orders, and the generals could not dictate to the local officials, so a balance was maintained. Using the tiger skin as a banner is the only way to make the sisters feel afraid of themselves.

When the He sisters heard her words, they felt as if they had eaten lemons, and their faces turned green.

Xiao Xiao smiled again and said something very shameless: "The general also said that his wife will manage the backyard for him, and I will accompany him in bending the bow and shooting arrows. I can only listen to the general's words."

"Actually, there are many beautiful maids in the general's backyard. How about I ask the general to send a few to your house so that I can share your worries?"

Since they are so yin and yang, don't blame yourself for the tea in your tea.

Mrs. He clenched her fists angrily to restrain herself from hitting her and scolding her.

But in his heart he was scolding her for being shameless.

Even she couldn't deny that the three Xiao sisters were good-looking, otherwise her son would not have insisted on marrying Xiao Xiu regardless of the claim that they were a good match.

Although Xiao Xiao is now wearing a light blue shorts, she can't hide her beautiful features.

Who knows if there really is a greedy general who would like her?

Bai couldn't stay any longer, so she stood up, snorted and left.

Her husband treated her well, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically asked his subordinates to pick up her natal family.

But this does not prevent him from accepting beauties from his superiors, nor from accepting beauties from his subordinates.

She really wished that her husband's bosses and subordinates could exchange beauty into money.

If this little #hoof really asks the general to send some beauties to her husband, then she will be worried that she will not be able to see her husband for three to five days.

Mrs. He glanced at Xiao Xiao without smiling and left in a hurry.

The two women who had been working as door gods were still satisfied after hearing this. They glanced at Xiao Xiao regretfully and hurriedly chased him out.

Xiao Xiao, who felt that he had told a story, breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the armchair, feeling that he was very talented in storytelling.

Then she heard someone talking outside, as if her name was mentioned, and she quickly stood up and tiptoed to the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

It turned out that after Mrs. He and the others went out, they happened to meet the shopkeeper who was returning from buying snacks.

Mrs. He asked with luck, "Is that girl in your shop here to buy bows and arrows?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper answered honestly: "She bought five bows and arrows."

At this time, Mrs. He really believed that Xiao Xiao had climbed up a high branch, and could only scold her in her heart for being shameless and willing to become a concubine just to climb up a high branch.

But he didn't dare to look weird in front of Xiao Xiao. He flicked his sleeves, cursed secretly and left.

When the shopkeeper saw them leaving, he said, "Ladies, come back next time."

But in his heart, he wished they would never appear in front of him again.

It’s good to go, because you can take these snacks home for your family to eat.

The shopkeeper came in humming a tune and saw Xiao Xiao sitting there. Thinking that she had also spent forty taels of silver, he invited her to eat red bean cake and quietly hid the more expensive osmanthus cake and wishful cake in the cabinet behind the counter.

Xiao Xiao recalled that she didn't say where she lived in the shop, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Dalang came out with his bow and arrow, Xiao Xiao did not dare to wander around the street anymore, fearing that he would be unlucky again and meet his mortal enemy.

However, after thinking about it, she seemed to have no one else in her family to offend, right?

Originally she wanted to go to a restaurant for a meal, but now she was no longer in the mood. She passed by a shop selling braised meat, bought two roast chickens and a large piece of pork head, and went to the appointed place, which was the Yamen Gate, to wait for the others. .
