The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Chapter 66 Zhang Qili

Xu Zhiyan thought of Zhang Qili.

He was Hua Rong's childhood sweetheart. He was originally the son of a minister, and he was very prosperous. However, something happened to his family, and he fell into decline. The family moved out of Yangzhou Prefecture, but because of his feelings for Hua Rong, he stayed alone.

But Hua Rong never saw him, and resolutely married Xu Ziying.

He also attended the wedding banquet, and even went to toast and bless him. However, he left the wedding banquet without eating a bite after the toast, got on the carriage leaving Yangzhou Mansion, and traveled all the way to Anhe to settle down.

[In the book, after the Hua family was destroyed by Xu Ziying, Zhang Qili came all the way back to collect the corpses for the Hua family. In the end, Xu Ziying held a grudge and forcibly took him into prison in the name of colluding with the Hua family. Prison, torture to death. 】

Xu Zhiyan's eyes softened little by little, she put her purse away in front of Zhang Qili, and then smiled sweetly at him.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I really want to see snow this year. My mother also said that she can send me to Anhe, because you are here to protect me!"

She wasn't talking nonsense.

Hua Rong did mention Zhang Qili when she said she wanted to see snow, but Xu Zhiyan couldn't remember what specifically she mentioned about him.

Zhang Qili believed Xu Zhiyan's words.

"Did your mother really say that? Then she didn't tell me in advance. She just sent you here without fear of losing you. You are really as generous as before."

She was so big-hearted that she didn't see his love for her, and even asked him what kind of wedding dress she would wear to a wedding banquet with someone else.

The arrogant person thought that he left Yangzhou Mansion just because he wanted to see the scenery elsewhere.

Forget it, after all these years, do you still care about this time?
  "Xiao Yan, let's go. Uncle Zhang will take you home. Uncle Zhang tells you that we have a lot of delicious food in Anhe. I'll pick a few special ones for you to try tonight, and I'm sure you won't be able to stop after one bite."

"Uncle Zhang, I don't want to go back yet. I haven't finished shopping yet. Besides, I came here with my third brother. He is still waiting for me at the inn. I have to go back and tell him."

"Your third brother, Xu Yanqing?"

"No, he's my uncle's son, his name is Song Xuan."

Zhang Qili didn't care why Hua Zangyue's son's surname was Song, "Cheng, it's up to you. Uncle Zhang sent someone to inform your third brother and ask him to pack his things and go live with Uncle Zhang first."

"Okay."

Xu Zhiyan deserves to be well behaved.

The more Zhang Qili looked at her, the more he felt that she looked very much like Hua Rong. His heart kept bubbling and his eyes softened a lot, "Good boy, let's go. Uncle Zhang will take you to a department store to buy things!"

Xu Zhiyan tilted her head, "Big department store?"

"Yes, our specialty is that the store sells everything. It is very big. For a person like you, you will probably be tired after walking less than half way. But it doesn't matter. They have small carts to carry goods. You are a small person. , you can sit in, Uncle Zhang will push you."

Li Changxun was not polite at all and took off Zhang Qili's sleeves.

"Uncle Zhang, what about me?"

Zhang Qili purred his head several times.

"sure, no problem!"

Xu Zhiyan also wanted to invite Chen Xiaoliu to join her, but she couldn't find him when she looked around. Zhang Qili realized who she was looking for and said, "Stop looking. I've seen that kid before. He belongs to our beggar gang, but Be smart, nothing will happen, let’s go first.”

She didn't say anything when she heard this, and took Li Changxun and followed Zhang Qili to the department store.

This department store deserves to be bold enough to use big letters in its name. The area is really big. When you enter the door, you can see rows of shelves at the same height as a person. There are all kinds of preserves on them, in small jars and small jars. Just looking at it makes me want to buy.

"I want this, this, this, and that!"

Xu Zhiyan made a little noise with her little hand, and Zhang Qili followed without hesitation. As soon as the waiter saw this, he knew he was here. "Hello, guests, we have new varieties of dried fruits today. In order to let our customers choose the ones they like, we also provide tastings."

Xu Zhiyan blinked.

"Dried fruit? Isn't it just candied fruit?"

"It's different. Just wait a moment and I'll bring it to you for a look."

The waiter quickly brought a tray with mini porcelain bowls on it. Each bowl contained a type of dried fruit. Xu Zhiyan picked up a piece and said, "Oh, I understand. Candied fruit is soft and moist, while dried fruit is hard." Do it hard!”

"Your Majesty, you are smart. The difference between the two is more than that. Try it, Your Majesty, you won't be disappointed."

Xu Zhiyan groaned and took the piece on her hand into her mouth.

When I took the first bite, the flavor exploded on my tongue like never before.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

"This is delicious. How did you think you could do this with fruit?"

The person who answered Xu Zhiyan was no longer the waiter, but a woman with simple clothes and a dashing figure.

"Of course it's an opportunity. I like to eat fruits, no matter the season, I always have them at home. But in the dry winter, I forgot to put the fruits on the hot bed one day and they were already hard when I remembered them."

“I’m a very curious person, so I took a sip and discovered the business opportunity.”

Xu Zhiyan heard that this woman was the owner of a large department store.

[Wow, it turns out there are other women like my mother who are good-looking and good at business. 】

She thought so and said this, and the woman smiled heartily, "Little girl, you are so beautiful, your mother must be beautiful too. Being praised as being as beautiful as your mother, I am very happy in my heart, so , all the things you bought today, I will give them to you."

Xu Zhiyan had always known that northerners were very straightforward, but to give such a big gift to a young girl they had just met and only chatted with for a few words was really beyond her expectation.

She couldn't help but wave her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I can't take advantage of you."

"Hey, it's nothing like taking advantage. Anyway, if I give it away, it's still something, but there's no reason to take it back."

She had said so, and Xu Zhiyan would be losing face if she refused again.

but.

Xu Zhiyan is a three-year-old little kid who doesn't need to negotiate on her own all the time. She opened her arms to Zhang Qili and said, "Uncle Zhang, hug me! Uncle Zhang will buy me as much as I want today, right? You don't have to occupy this seat." Auntie is cheap, right?"

Can Zhang Qili say it's wrong?

He's not short of money anyway.

Zhang Qili picked up Xu Zhiyan, adjusted her posture to make her more comfortable, and then looked at the woman.

"Boss Qin is so polite. I came here today to play with my juniors. If Boss Qin pays the bill, then I, as an elder, am not very qualified."

When he opened his mouth, Qin Liyue knew that if she asked to pay the bill, she wouldn't be able to take advantage of the favor, so she simply stopped talking here.

"Okay, I won't steal Boss Zhang's limelight today. I will definitely give you a free meal next time the little girl comes."
