Crossing should also be very low-key

The current situation is actually a bit weird.

Dozens of young masters and servants surrounded the grocery store, but no one dared to approach. Everyone whispered and looked at Li Qingjiu and his party who were huddled far behind.But because everyone gave them the way to the grocery merchants, Li Qingjiu actually didn't achieve the effect of "shrinking" at all.

"Mr. Li, everyone is waiting for you to choose first!" Zhang Xiaoyue said calmly at the side.In the past, it was only after he picked something that other people dared to step forward, and this time was of course no exception.But now that the No. [-] male favorite has been replaced, of course he has to abide by the rules of the game and let the new No. [-] male favorite pick things first.

Seeing Li Qingjiu's temple throbbing in pain, he immediately pulled out a professional service smile, nodded and bowed to everyone.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone. Well, I, I don't really have anything to buy, I'll just come back later." After speaking, he pulled Ah Shun and prepared to flee.

He just turned around, and before he could step out, he was pulled back again.

"Mr. Li, you are so polite, how can everyone have the nerve to buy it first?" Zhang Xiaoyue, who was quick to hold him, said to him with a smile.

At this moment, Li Qingjiu was shocked by Zhang Xiaoyue's smile.

Just now in the room because I was in a situation of self-pity and self-pity, so I didn't notice that Xiaoyue's smile...it's so perfect!The slant of the corner of the mouth, the faintly exposed teeth, and the extremely friendly eyes at first glance... Such a professional smile is indeed a high-level executive!It's no wonder that he can deal with the perverted prince who can be called the head of the wicked people.I really don't know Taishan with my eyes!

I don't know if I can tell that perverted person "I'll ask our supervisor to come out and talk to you" next time when my service is not good....

"Mr. Li, please go ahead! Everyone is waiting!" Zhang Xiaoyue completely ignored the adoring eyes projected from Li Qingjiu. Anyway, he never figured out what kind of strange thoughts Li Qingjiu was looking at. his.

"Huh? Oh..." Zhang Xiaoyue held his hand tightly, and no one else dared to approach him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the merchant's cart.

"Mr. Li, I brought the things you ordered last time." The merchant smiled and took out a box. After opening it, there were pieces of thin wood neatly placed inside.

Li Qingjiu took out one of them and looked at it, feeling that the texture, size and thickness all met his requirements.

"Boss, thank you! How much do you want?"

"Even the box counts as ten copper coins for you."

The box was big enough and exquisite, and there were a lot of wood pieces, and the surface was smoothed, so this time Li Qingjiu paid the money very readily.Of course, part of the reason is that he received an extra 150 copper coins for overtime pay this month.Originally, he wanted to allocate two hundred copper coins to his little aunt, but unexpectedly there was a vacancy in the palace, and the little aunt was lucky enough to be retained directly, so she didn't take the money from him.The 650 copper coins that he originally wanted to thank the housekeeper for his help were also returned, so he still received a full [-] copper coins this month.

Just imagine, after you earn 1000 yuan this month, will you still care about the mere [-] yuan?It really is easy to go from frugal to extravagant!Of course, thinking about how I earned this money miserably, I couldn't help but want to squander it vigorously to comfort my traumatized body and mind.

"Ah Shun, come on! Let's buy more things and reward ourselves, it's not easy to make money..."

"Yes, son." Ah Shun glanced at Li Qingjiu with a sad face, thinking that his son seems to be making money more and more "easy" recently...whether it is in terms of frequency or adaptability... .

So Li Qingjiu first picked two pieces of fabric to make clothes for his little aunt, and then bought a bunch of biscuits, candied fruit, pastries, tea, wine, dried meat, and Ah Shun, who had always wanted it, but Chestnut candies and golden malt candies, which are always unavailable and reluctant to buy, cost nearly fifty copper coins.

"Why do you buy all these messy things..." Zhang Xiaoyue on the side saw that they filled the basket to the brim, but it was almost full of food. Instead, everyone was scrambling to buy gouache, hair oil, lanolin and other accessories. I didn't take any of them, so I couldn't help but read a few words.

"Because more than half of the messy things I bought last month have entered your stomach!" Li Qingjiu lifted the heavy basket and showed it to him. "Hey, but this time there are so many, I'm not afraid that you will eat them!"

"Hmph, I'm willing to eat to sell your face. Do you think I'm just eating other people's food?" Zhang Xiaoyue was actually very happy when she heard that Li Qingjiu said that all the food he bought was his share. I am used to being mean, and I can't change it for a while.But Li Qingjiu never seemed to take those harsh words to heart, and still got along with him with a sincere, kind and natural attitude, so Zhang Xiaoyue was more casual and relaxed in front of him.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the honor." Knowing that teenagers of this age have rebellious and arrogant elements in their bones, Li Qingjiu didn't pay much attention to his words, and always took them as spanking It's fine to deal with it that way, and the two of them often have a good time talking!

"By the way, have you decided what to buy as a gift?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked suddenly.

"What gift?" Li Qingjiu asked suspiciously.

Zhang Xiaoyue glanced at him with an incredulous expression, and then looked at Ah Shun beside him with an expression of "ah, how did I forget?"

Probably because he was deeply influenced by his son, Ah Shun himself was surprised that he would forget such an important thing.

"My lord, it will be the prince's birthday in half a month. Basically, everyone will prepare a congratulatory gift for the prince."

No wonder...he wanted to talk about why the merchant pushed three more carts of goods over this month!But because he had a goal long ago, he didn't pay much attention to those dazzling array of gorgeous items.

"Is it okay not to give it away?" He asked Ah Shun in a low voice. "Anyway, he's so rich, and he's a prince, so he must have a lot of gifts and jewelry. Is there any place for me, my male favourite?"

"Young master, what you said is very reasonable, but what if everyone gave it away and you were the only one who didn't..."

When Ah Shun mentioned such a point, Li Qingjiu seemed to be enlightened.Yes!He has been inexplicably high-profile, so don't try to make that prince more impressed by him.

"Then, I'll just follow along and buy what everyone gave away in previous years."

"As servants, we have limited information about this kind of thing, but if it's Mr. Zhang, he should be able to know what other people have sent, right?"

"Oh, that makes sense." Li Qingjiu turned to Zhang Xiaoyue. "Brother Yue, please recommend me a congratulatory gift that is given by the most people, the least innovative, and preferably not too expensive!"

Although Li Qingjiu lowered the volume in order to avoid being heard by the hidden guards, but because they were standing next to him, Zhang Xiaoyue, who had excellent ears, listened to all the conversations he had with Ah Shun just now. arrive.He looked at him dumbfounded, more and more able to understand the reason why the prince summoned him three times within a month.

"There is a kind of congratulatory gift that is given by many people. It is too much to be new, and it is almost free..." Zhang Xiaoyue covered her mouth and laughed.

"What's so good?" Li Qingjiu asked overjoyed.

Zhang Xiaoyue pointed to her ear, then hooked her fingers at him.Li Qingjiu also put his ear close to him in satisfaction.Then Zhang Xiaoyue leaned into his ear with a stomach full of bad water and said:

"The next time the prince summons you, you will strip yourself naked first, spread your thighs, and seduce the prince as much as possible. For example, you can do it yourself for the prince to see, or use your mouth to serve the prince or something. If You are good enough in "that aspect", just hold the lord tightly while doing it, so that the lord can feel comfortable without any effort!"

After Zhang Xiaoyue finished speaking, she pointedly pinched Li Qingjiu's buttocks, and it really got Li Qingjiu's eyes.

Didn't expect that in this era, there are already stalks of "coffee, tea, orme"?

"Just prepare that kind of congratulatory gift for you..." Li Qingjiu muttered with disgust on his face.

"Hey, you're the one who asked me, but now you're disgusted?" Zhang Xiaoyue pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Young master Zhang, take a good look at my face." Li Qingjiu pinched his own face at Zhang Xiaoyue indiscriminately. "Hey, do you see clearly? It doesn't look like you have that kind of "talented" face, right? So let's jump and do it all over again, huh?"

After Li Qingjiu finished speaking, he jumped on the spot, this is his usual method to calm down after dealing with difficult people.Even though Ah Shun, who was following the customs, didn't understand his young master's intentions at all, he immediately jumped along reflexively.A Cong who was on the side had been greatly inspired by Ah Shun these days, so he jumped along with him.

Zhang Xiaoyue originally looked at the three of them with an expression as if she saw a monster, but under Li Qingjiu's eyes full of expectation and the encouragement of the two servants, she had no choice but to jump too reluctantly.

Seeing his two big customers jumping, the businessman was so frightened that he jumped too.

Originally thought that Li Qingjiu's behavior was weird and was about to whisper and criticize wantonly when they saw Zhang Xiaoyue also jumped, they were so surprised that they looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other in blank dismay.Then everyone jumped on the spot one after another under the idea of ​​"Even Mr. Zhang jumped, then we...", the whole scene looked very weird and funny.

However, Li Qingjiu's eyes were all on Zhang Xiaoyue, so he didn't notice the butterfly effect he caused.

"Young Master Zhang Xiaoyue, Zhang Engong, Boss Yue, please recommend me a congratulatory gift that is given by the most people besides the body, would you like it?"

Zhang Xiaoyue stared at Li Qingjiu without speaking, showing "Why are you so troublesome", but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitched slightly.

"Otherwise, let's do this! Brother Yue, what gift do you want to give, I will give it three grades lower, and I can also show off your intentions, Brother Yue, how about it? Not bad!" Li Qingjiu suggested.

"Me? Hmm....I thought of a congratulatory gift that the prince would definitely like, but unfortunately, due to some reasons, I couldn't give it away..." Zhang Xiaoyue lowered her head mysteriously.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me about it." He asked curiously.

"What is it..." Zhang Xiaoyue touched her chin, turned her head slowly, swept Li Qingjiu from head to toe with malicious eyes, and then showed a professional smile of a high-level executive. Kindly say, "Do you want to know the answer?"

Li Qingjiu felt a chill, shrank his body and dared not say anything.Years of experience have taught him that when a supervisor smiles and asks him "Do you want to know?", it's best not to know.And he always felt that Zhang Xiaoyue's answer should be so horrifying that it gave him nightmares.

Seeing such an interesting reaction from him, Zhang Xiaoyue felt even happier.Alas, if I didn't think this person was pretty good, I really wanted to strip him off, feed him, wrap him in aphrodisiacs, and send it to the prince as a congratulatory gift!That must have penetrated deeper into the prince's heart than taking himself as a gift!

Recently, I've been so kind, I'm not used to it...

Zhang Xiaoyue looked at Li Qingjiu, who was trying to choose a gift, and decided that he had to eat all the snacks he bought.

================================================== =====================

Xu Lichen originally wanted to hang out in the north courtyard on a whim, but after walking around for a while, he found that he didn't meet many people.After asking Lin Tang who was by his side, he found out that today is the day when the grocery merchant arrives at the house.

If it was in the past, he would probably go to the south courtyard to find their concubines, but when he heard that Chen Ying, who was following Lin Tang, reported that "Mr. When he was gone, he stopped.

"Oh, so, did something happen?" His original intention was to ask how Li Qingjiu reacted in that state where all the male favorites were watching, or if other male favorites did anything to Li Qingjiu some type of.

"The secret guard reported that after Mr. Li jumped for some unknown reason, every young master and servant present also jumped."

"Did you jump?"

"Yes, I jumped a bit."

After imagining that weird scene, and then thinking of the guy who took the lead, Xu Lichen's original serious expression couldn't help being shaken.

"Any more?"

"Also, Mr. Zhang pinched Mr. Li's ass." Chen Ying knew very well that the importance of the event was far greater than the timing.

"...." The slightly warm face just now turned cold quickly.

"My lord?" Lin Tang, the housekeeper who understands the king's wishes, stepped forward to ask at the right time.

"Call Zhang Xiaoyue over tonight."

"Yes!"
