late night bistro

You must pluck a piece of wool from the body of God

The Imperial Merchant Xu Mansion really lived up to its reputation.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved galleries and painted buildings, one scene in three steps, one painting in five steps.

Even if the empress and his wife live in the palace, they have to praise, this courtyard is indeed exquisite.

It does not have the smell of copper that belongs to the merchant as imagined, but it is elegant everywhere, quite in the style of Jiangnan gardens.

As for Jiang Qiubai, this little dog who has never seen anything in the world, at this moment he behaves like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

It's not that Jiang Qiubai has never seen the world. As a modern person, he is also a modern person who grew up in a country known as an infrastructure madman. What kind of architecture has he never seen?

But the Xu family gave him a different feeling.

It is not the kind of modern buildings that deliberately imitate the past, not the kind of ancient buildings that rely on lighting rendering to float on the surface, nor the kind of long-standing precipitation preserved by ancient buildings.

It was a natural beauty.

"This yard was built when my great-grandmother was here." Xu Ruoqing became a tour guide without a teacher. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the kitchen to arrange meals, he took a group of people to visit his home. "Everywhere he went, he introduced one place."

Xu Ruoqing is a very qualified tour guide.

In fact, this is the first time he has brought friends to visit his home.

It's not that he didn't have friends before. After all, Xu's family is the son of an imperial merchant, prince and minister, so he also had the opportunity to make friends.

Occasionally, when there is a banquet or festival at home, he can also post a post, inviting those young masters to sit at home and drink tea together.

But those sons and sisters are all well-behaved, and they speak softly and softly. They even walk as if they are bound by someone. They take small steps, and there is no such thing as brother Xiaobai. , Wherever it feels interesting, he will reach out to touch it.

Of course, brother Xiaobai will not be rude, he will ask in advance what is this thing made of and can you touch it.

Do it only with permission.

The empress and his wife were more like walking, without any restraint.

He has never felt so happy to invite friends to his house.

Yes, Xu Ruoqing doesn't use words like joy and happiness to describe his mood.

Just joy, pure joy.

"What is this?" Jiang Qiubai saw a large pile of stones piled up under the corner of the wall, which was out of place in the yard.

But he felt that these stones looked familiar.

"It should be rough emerald stones." Before Xu Ruoqing could speak, the Empress recognized these stones first, "Our Imperial Palace is rich in jade, and the stones under the corner of the wall are somewhat similar to the rough jadeite stones I have seen before. "

"Sister Shu is right." Xu Ruoqing's head hurts when he looked at these stones, "I don't know how it is in your hometown. Anyway, in Daying, there is basically no market for jadeite."

This pile of stones was only found out after cleaning up the Xu family moths some time ago.

Although it can't be seen on the table, it can't be said that rough jadeite is also worthless, it's just that nobles don't like it, and ordinary people can still appreciate it, and the price is not high.

As for why it is piled here, because he hasn't figured out what to do with the jade yet.

The Xu family was rich, but Xu Ruoqing was not so rich that he took out the rough jadeite and threw it away.

Putting it in the warehouse takes up space, and it doesn't cost much to sell it. It's a pity to lose it. He can't do the behavior of a prodigal.

Emerald rough stone, Jiang Qiubai's interest came.

Although he doesn't pay attention to these, he has also heard of stone gambling.

One knife is poor and the other is rich, and one knife wears linen, which is to say that it is the solution of jadeite.

"Ah Qing." Jiang Qiubai thought that since these stones are not worth much to Ah Qing, he can take them to the modern gambling stone market for a try, he said: "If you have no place to deal with these stones, sell them to me." .”

It just so happened that Shangshen lent him a Qiankun bag, so he could move it back directly.

"Not for sale." Xu Ruoqing shook his head firmly.

These two words directly stunned Jiang Qiubai.

In the next second, Xu Ruoqing said, "Brother Xiaobai, just take it if you like it, including anything from the Xu family. As long as you like it, you can take it away. If I take your money, My parents will not rest in peace under the Yellow Spring."

This is so serious that Jiang Qiubai didn't know how to answer.

One yard is one yard, Jiang Qiubai still has this idea, but he is really greedy for these rough jadeites.

When Xu Ruoqing was still seriously persuading Brother Xiaobai to take it if he liked it, and to look down on him if he didn't take it, Jiang Qiubai just raised a finger, "Then I'll take a piece."

It is impossible to take it all away.

Xu Ruoqing also had nothing to do with his brother Xiaobai, "Brother Xiaobai can choose for himself." Anyway, he has a way to give brother Xiaobai what is left.

The empress and the emperor also secretly looked at each other, with plans in mind.

Jiang Qiubai only knew how to gamble on stones, but he was a complete layman, picking and choosing among a pile of rough stones, and finally he set his sights on a stone the size of a head.

The main reason is that this rough stone is very round, so it should be a good choice for carving ornaments in the future.

Just as he was about to take out the universe bag and put it in his pocket, Mo Ying spoke.

He pointed to an inconspicuous stone in the corner, "Choose this one."

This stone was the size of two adult fists, but when Mo Ying spoke, Jiang Qiubai did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave up the one he had chosen, and directly took the one Mo Ying pointed to into his pocket.

God's vision must be fine.

The garden is almost finished, and the meals in the kitchen are ready.

But Jiang Qiubai didn't finish this meal.

When Jiang Qiubai was happily holding the Qiankun bag and going to the main hall for dinner with everyone, he suddenly felt a wave of palpitations, and he was in a panic all of a sudden.

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath.

Those who didn't know thought he had a heart attack, but only Jiang Qiubai knew, maybe it was a blood intuition.

He had this feeling once when his mother, father and grandmother died, and he also had this feeling once when his grandfather passed away.

Now, his only relative is the second grandfather.

However, before he left, he specifically called the nursing home and asked about the situation of the second grandfather.

how come?

No, it's not possible.

But even if Jiang Qiubai didn't want to believe it, he still didn't dare to delay.

"God."

Mo Ying had just discovered that something was wrong with him, but he checked Jiang Qiubai's body with his power, and he didn't seem to be sick.

Now he looked at Jiang Qiubai's pale face, but he couldn't help worrying, "Are you? Are you sick? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

When they heard Mo Ying's words, they turned their heads immediately, and Xu Ruoqing hurriedly called his servants to bring the doctor over.

"No, no need." Jiang Qiubai hurriedly stopped, then pulled Mo Ying's sleeve, and said with difficulty, "God, can I ask you to send me back first? There may be something urgent at my house."

Turning his head, he apologized to Xu Ruoqing and the queen and his wife again, and we will meet again in the tavern.

Several people told him not to care, but their eyes were filled with worry.

Mo Ying nodded, and immediately began to cast spells.

Although he can't empathize with the family entanglement between ordinary people, he just can't bear to make the little boss feel uncomfortable.

"I'll come back in two hours." Mo Ying left with Jiang Qiubai before leaving.

This sentence also gave the empress and his wife a reassurance.

Although the fruit has been picked, they haven't returned to the original world, and they are always uneasy in their hearts. At this moment, they are relieved.

Followed Xu Ruoqing to the main hall for dinner.

In order to entertain these friends of the head of the family, the cooks of Xu's family used [-] martial arts today, and every dish was delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

It's just that a few people were worried about Boss Jiang, and they didn't feel good eating it.

Especially Xu Ruoqing, who regarded Jiang Qiubai as his elder brother, took small mouthfuls of food and sighed, "Hey, I don't know what happened to Brother Xiaobai."

The empress was also worried, "Let's go to sleep earlier tonight, let's go and see the situation."

But if Boss Jiang wasn't in the tavern, they wouldn't be able to get in, so they could only be anxious now.

Maybe when the God of God comes over later, ask the God of God again?

Jiang Qiubai returned to the tavern. As soon as the mobile phone got a signal, the ringtone of the incoming call rang immediately. He took it out and saw that it was indeed a call from the nursing home.

Jiang Qiubai's hands were trembling when he answered the phone, he felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Qiubai?" The person in charge of the hospital started talking about the business after getting connected, "Mr. Jiang Su was stimulated half an hour ago and went into cardiac arrest. He has been rescued now, so don't worry too much." Don't worry, if it's convenient, come and have a look..."

But Jiang Qiubai felt a little more at ease when he heard that he had been rescued.

It's just that the second grandfather lives in a nursing home, how could he be suddenly stimulated?

He had to go and have a look.

"God, I'm going out for a while." Jiang Qiubai was anxious and couldn't take care of Mo Ying. "There are drinks and fruits in the refrigerator. Can you get them yourself today? I'll treat you well next time."

Mo Ying pushed Kang down and waved his hand to show that he knew.

He was leaning on the soft couch, stroking the cat, but what he was thinking was that he would have to go to the empress to send the couple away later.

Tsk, trouble.

Jiang Qiubai rushed to the nursing home and met the doctor in charge of the second grandfather.

"An old man who is about the same age as your second grandfather came here at ten o'clock today." The doctor explained the situation, "The old man said he was an old friend of your second grandfather. He finally found out the address of your second grandfather and wanted to visit his old friend."

This is a private nursing home. Generally speaking, except for the visits of relatives, other visits must obtain the permission of the patient or family members before entering.

But the old man told Jiang Su's name and Jiang Qiubai's name and relationship, and he was also carrying health care products and fruits in his hand. go in.

At first it was still normal, the old man really cared about Jiang Su's body like an old friend, sitting in front of the hospital bed and gossiping with him.

Later, before the old man left, he didn't know what he said, and Jiang Su suddenly died.

Fortunately, this is in a nursing home, and the medical equipment is well-equipped, so he was rescued on the spot.

"Thank you, doctor." Jiang Qiubai already knew it in his heart.

The so-called benevolent old man was the partner who had brought Second Grandpa into the business before.

The old man used to often come to Jiang's house to drink tea with the second grandfather. He really looked like a good old man, but he didn't expect to know people and face but not heart.

He knew Second Grandpa, since the bankruptcy happened and they were powerless to change now, then Second Grandpa would not be depressed about it.

So if the old man just came to see Second Grandpa, Second Grandpa would probably just bark like a dog in front of him.

But what did the old man tell Second Grandpa in the end?

I am afraid that only two parties know about this matter.

In the ward, Jiang Su was already awake, but his eyes were dull, but worry and fear could still be seen in his expression.

"Actually, Mr. Jiang's recuperation effect was better some time ago." The doctor was also very sorry, "It's just that this time... his condition doesn't get worse."

The nursing home punished the nurse for letting someone in without authorization, and also compensated the grandpa and grandson.

But the old man's body needs to take time to recuperate slowly.

Jiang Qiubai didn't say anything, he accepted the treatment of the nursing home. After chatting with the doctor, Jiang Qiubai pushed away from the ward and entered with a smile on his face.

"Second Grandpa, are you disobedient again?" Jiang Qiubai used a joke to comfort Second Grandpa's mood, "I told you to rest well and don't think about other things."

For patients, maintaining a good attitude is the most important thing, especially for a stroke like the second grandfather.

When Jiang Su saw Xiaobai coming, he felt a sense of loss.

The reason for the sudden excitement today is because the dog thief said that he has been observing the tavern for a long time.

He didn't know if the dog thief really knew something, or if he came to blow him up on purpose.

But he couldn't speak now, so he could only act in a hurry.

He opened his mouth, "Wine..Wine.."

A few days ago, after rehabilitation training, he could barely speak a word or two, but now he has returned to his original form.

Jiang Qiubai saw what Second Grandpa wanted to say, and listened to him, "Second Grandpa, take your time, don't worry, tell me word by word."

Jiang Sushun breathed a sigh of relief, "The bar..restaurant..small..heart.."

Jiang Qiubai was taken aback, "Be careful in the tavern?"

Jiang Su blinked, then nodded with difficulty.

Jiang Qiubai immediately understood, "You mean someone is following the tavern and you want me to be careful?"

Jiang Su's eyes were full of anxiety. Don't let the thief know about the tavern. Xiaobai might be in danger by then.

Jiang Qiubai thought for a while: "Don't worry, now that the tavern has God in charge, there is usually no danger. I also locked the door at night, and there is no way to get in from outside."

As for someone secretly staring at him, in a society ruled by law now, as long as he doesn't leave alone, he won't be kidnapped by that dog thief on the street.

But things about the tavern had to be re-planned.

Where is it exposed?

Jiang Qiubai didn't know, he wondered if it was because of his comic account that he lost his horse, and that dog thief noticed the tavern.

But not so much, not many people know about the comic account, and the plot of his comics that day, can normal people think it is true?

The only possibility is that the golden toad he took to the auction before, and the twelve zodiac signs that he sent to the auction before going to the empress, let the dog thief notice his way of making money.

Push it down and start over again, if the other party knows the secret of the tavern, it may not be as simple as coming to test the second grandpa today.

So he still tended to his own guess, the old thief probably wanted to know how the tavern made money, and came to blow up his second grandfather today.

Those old foxes, Jiang Qiubai knew it well, he didn't have that IQ, he couldn't play with those people, the second grandpa even fell on that old dog thief, let alone him.

The most important thing now is to cure Second Grandpa as soon as possible to avoid similar things from happening again next time.

The second grandfather is not young, and his body can't support this kind of first aid.

It's just that, relying on current medicine to quickly cure the second grandfather, it is almost as difficult as reaching heaven, and the only thing he can think of to help is Mo Ying.

It shouldn't be a problem if Mo Ying can overwhelm Kang and rejuvenate his old age, and heal the second grandfather, right?

No matter what, Jiang Qiubai didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

After leaving the nursing home, he rushed to the fruit market.

Although Shangshen also likes to eat other things, he also likes to drink cold drinks, but he is very partial to fruit, and every time he comes here, he always comes with two luxurious fruit plates as the base, and occasionally he even packs a few boxes to take away.

He had calculated an account before, and God had already eaten tens of thousands of fruits from him.

Because several times I asked for something, I bought fruits belonging to the legendary nobles, grapes for a few hundred yuan a catty, two peaches for 1000 yuan, and the like.

It doesn't look like much money, but it's only a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars, but it's tens of thousands every time?

Jiang Qiubai didn't go to the high-end fruit supermarket this time, he had a great time shopping in the fruit wholesale market.

The fruits in the fruit market are very fresh, and they are gratifying to look at.

"Boss, how did you get this loquat?" Jiang Qiubai has already learned the jargon, obviously he has been visiting the fruit market a lot.

The owner of the wholesale store didn't pay much attention to him, "There is one price for more than ten boxes, and another price for less than ten boxes. You see how much you want to get."

Jiang Qiubai counted the number of people, one box per person, but he couldn't get as many as ten boxes, four or five boxes at most.

Seeing that he was getting less, the boss quoted a price, and Jiang Qiubai fell backward in fright.

The loquat that no one ate on the tree when I was a child costs dozens of yuan a catty now?This is still a wholesale price.

"Young man, this loquat has just arrived, and the price is a bit expensive." The boss didn't show any dissatisfaction when he saw that he was hesitating. He just said, "Now that it's on the market, people can eat it fresh, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

Of course Jiang Qiubai is not worried about not being able to sell, and he is not prepared for modern people.

There were few fruits in ancient times, and they were all uncultivated, and the taste was not as good as modern ones. Every time he bought the fruits back, the empress and Ah Qing liked them very much.

Not to mention Mo Ying, who already loves to eat fruit.

Forget it, "Let's get four boxes first."

Jiang Qiubai bought a lot of fruits one after another, and his tongue clicked in his heart. The price of this fruit has really increased recently.

I haven't bought any high-end fruits or imported fruits today, even some seasonal fruits have cost tens of thousands.

In the evening, Jiang Qiubai directly put the fruit he prepared for Mo Ying on the booth where he often sat, and when God came, he asked directly.

There can be no more soft-hearted policies.

Empress Empress and Ah Qing arrived one after another, and the two siblings exchanged pleasantries for a while, and they separated only this afternoon.

It seems that this trip, the relationship between the two has become closer.

In the afternoon, Mo Ying sent the Queen and his wife back to the General's Mansion as promised, and then left with the cat in his arms.

Jiang Qiubai gave the empress and Ah Qing all the food and drink. Normally, it would be the payment link, but the two of them didn't follow the routine today.

It turned out that one person transformed a large piece of rough jadeite, each of which was bigger than a human head.

Jiang Qiubai was both helpless and amused, "I'm just curious today, I really don't know much about jadeite, so I'll just stick to the old ways next time."

Empress Empress and Xu Ruoqing looked at each other, then smiled, they had their own plans, anyway, they sent them over, and it was impossible for them to take them back.

The siblings paid the bill, and then chatted about eating baby fruit and having a baby.

After the empress and the emperor returned to the general's mansion, they tacitly did not tell anyone about this matter, only telling him that their father and mother were going well.

No one knows which fruit the emperor ate.

Therefore, their current plan is to confirm that the child is indeed conceived after a while, and then announce that the empress is pregnant. The emperor will take this opportunity to accompany them, and the two will move to the palace to recuperate.

There is no such precedent before, although the palace is luxurious, but the palace is more suitable for body cultivation.

The empress had finally "pregnant" and was going to live in the palace, so no one could say anything.

Jiang Qiubai also thought this plan was good, he said, "I'll think of a way at that time, see if I can get a B-ultrasound machine, and then ask God to send Brother Mu over to check some."

Just when the two were about to ask what a B-ultrasound machine was, Mo Ying hugged Kang Kang and came with his own decoration.

Jiang Qiubai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't care less about talking about the child with the empress, he had to pluck a hair from Shangshen's body tonight.

He thought, for the first time, the Mai Lisu should have been infused with some kind of immortal magic or spiritual energy by the God, and he didn't want much, as long as it could cure the second grandfather.

Jiang Qiubai was very stupid and took the initiative to send the fruit plate, drinks and various snacks that he had prepared in advance.

Mo Ying pursed the smile on his lips, what is this little boss going to say tonight?

Ahem, Mo Ying, who had killed seven people in and out of the Demon Realm and retreated completely, was also a little nervous at the moment.

"Shangshen." After these few days of traveling together, Jiang Qiubai felt that his relationship with Mo Ying had become much closer, so he sat directly beside Mo Ying, "I have something to tell you."

The smile on Jiang Qiubai's face was blushing, and his doggy eyes were very lively and interesting at the moment.

Mo Ying stiffened his back, put down a soundproof enchantment, and then asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Qiubai pointed to the boxes of fruits, "These are all for you, are you still used to eating the fruits before?"

Mo Ying hummed and motioned for him to continue.

"Hey, just look at it, you have been spending in this store for so long, when are you going to make an order?"

The author says:

Many new friends have come again, welcome everyone.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
