Chapter 83 The cat and the mouse are caught by profiteers

Zhou Fuxiang asked about the situation outside, and Zheng Yue said: "Young masters are studying behind closed doors at home. I went to the street today and saw Mr. Wen's accompanying servant celebrating his birthday. He said that Mr. Wen lives in the Quide Building not far from us. Ask him to come out to buy pens and inks. Grandpa’s former classmate Mr. Zhang and Mr. Fang also live in the Quide Building, and he asked about my uncle’s birthday and asked him to go to the Quide Building to sit with Mr. Wen when he was free.”

Zhou Fuxiang smiled and said: "I don't want them to come early, and I was called back then, because I was too hot to move, so I never got up. In this case, I will go to Quide Building to meet them tomorrow." Said Then, he flipped through the book in his hand, saw that there was nothing to say, and said, "Is there anything new recently?"

Huo Zhen smiled and said: "The new thing is just a matter for the scholars to catch up with the exam, and there is something wrong with us here."

Zhou Fuxiang hurriedly asked what was the matter, Huo Zhen said: "Just now we two were sitting and drinking tea in the shop. A peddler in the shop bought a cat from somewhere. He said that it is extremely expensive and worth a thousand taels. It's a pity that the two of us I didn't look carefully, so I don't know what supernatural powers that cat has, and it's worth so much silver."

Zhou Fuxiang was really surprised, sat up with a smile, pushed away the book in front of him and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? It's a pity I didn't see it, don't let him deceive people."

Huo Zhen said with a smile that he might not know, he looked sideways at Mingyue and Qingping coming in carrying water, and knew that they were going to wait for Zhou Fuxiang to take a bath, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Zheng Yue and Zhou Fuxiang, and said hello to Mingyue and Qingping.Mingyue usually doesn't interact with the night guards at the second door, just smile, because Qing Ping is Mrs. Zhou's favorite person, and she gives most of the daily orders, so the two of them have some friendship, so they put down the things in their hands. Wooden barrel, said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, it's inconvenient for Brother Qiao outside the door to come in, so please take care of me."

Huo Zhen smiled and agreed to come out, and he saw that Qiao'er was wearing a bleached silk machine jacket, plain silk trousers, and a silver-red Xingbu jade-colored silk ribbon with 24 heads, standing pretty in the yard, counting the flowers on the screen wall Grass.He called out from behind her: "Brother, please sit in front, the sun is very strong outside, you will not be sunburned."

When Qiao'er heard this, she hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "Third Master, go and do your work yourself. Uncle is used to sweating, and he has to wash it two or three times a day, but it takes a short time. I'll just wait."

Huo Zhen saw that he couldn't move him, so he smiled and went back to the room with Zheng Yue to rest.Qiao'er made a hat brim with one hand and propped it on her forehead to shield from the sunlight, while stroking the half of the screen wall with the other hand, and sketched little by little along the grass marks.This kind of thing was the most common when she was young. Everywhere on the windows, on the door openings and on the walls, there were exquisite carvings everywhere.When my mother was busy with housekeeping, she had no time to take care of her, so she was hugged by her nurse and sat by the window or on the threshold, tracing those cursive patterns in the same way.

While drawing and painting, my thoughts fall into the past, and the scenes are clearly distinguishable, including the smiling faces of mother and father making love, the faces of great-grandmother and grandmother teaching, and the faces of Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao Lin playing together.She was serious about painting, but she didn't know that Zhao Si had already made a mess outside, clamoring for cats everywhere.

He made a fuss for several merchants who closed their doors for lunch, and even the narrow households in Qumen were disturbed. The guys apologized one after another, saying that the cat worth thousands of dollars was lost, and the owner was in a hurry to find it.Everyone was as surprised as Zhou Fuxiang was when they first heard the words, and hurriedly went back to their rooms to search, but wanted to see what the valuable cat looked like, even Jiazi opera troupe couldn't avoid it.

As soon as Xiren came back from Baochai's place, he didn't know what the noise was about, so he quietly took the maidservant back to the room, and called a Tan official who sang Huadan in the troupe to ask him, and then he found out the cause and effect. , then smiled and said: "Then we should also look through the house carefully, not because we are afraid that someone else's cat will be suspected, but because everyone has been tired for a long time, if calling this cat at night disturbs sleep, wouldn't it be Delay things." The maids and women laughed and said that they were very upset, and hurriedly searched around under the cabinet and under the bed.

Here, Zhao Siyan watched his plot succeed, and he was naturally very pleased with himself. Seeing that a good inn was disturbed by him, and all the people he had never seen before appeared at this moment, he still pretended Looking for a cat, I looked from house to house, paying attention to whether there was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old that Jia Huan said. I searched one by one from the front for a while, but I didn't meet the person Jia Huan said. He frowned and looked for it in the backyard.

The little guy made him fuss, so he had to follow along. Qiaoer was just drawing to the last place, when suddenly he heard the shout from the front: "Xuehua, Xuehua, where did you go?"

Qiaoer was not aware of doubts, and was thinking about who Xue Hua was. Zhao Si and the young man walked out around the screen wall. When the young man saw her, he bent down and said, "I'm bothering you, I don't know if you have seen her?" A cat ran into the backyard?"

After thinking about it, Qiaoer shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it before, why is someone's cat lost?"

The little guy pointed at Zhao Si and said, "It was this master who lost his cat. He said it was worth a lot of gold. I didn't dare to neglect it, so I followed my master to look for it. If you see it, I will help you catch it anyway. There must be a lot of rewards."

"Yes, there are many rewards," Zhao Si hurriedly interjected.

Qiao'er heard his vulgar language and indecent manner, so she instinctively looked at his appearance, and saw that his forehead was pointed, his eyebrows were like a mouse's tail, and he looked disgusting.Taking a closer look at his clothes, he is wearing a blue cloth single shirt with a pair of blue cloth trousers, which looks even more nondescript.He only thought that this person was just playing with things, so he didn't pay much attention to him, and only said to Xiaoer: "Don't worry, little brother, if you see it, you will definitely return it to the original owner."

After listening to Zhao Si, he saw that although Qiao'er was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had a rare beautiful face and a delicate figure, which was a bit like the Qiao girl Jia Huan said.I also saw that he had braided hair and didn't wear other pearls and hairpins. He was clearly dressed as a brother, so he hesitated and didn't dare to be very sure.Seeing that the door of the room behind him was closed tightly, he didn't know who was inside, thinking that maybe there was Qiao girl there, so he said more sexually: "Don't bother brother to do anything, just trouble brother to make it easier for me to go into the house and search for a while. Fan, if there is no future, naturally I will stop bothering you."

Allow him to enter the house and search?In the house, Mingyue Qingping is still waiting for Zhou Fuxiang to take a bath, how to get in and how to search?Qiao'er raised her eyebrows and rejected him bluntly: "No need, it's not suitable for outsiders to enter the house, and please wait outside for a while, if a cat really comes in, we will naturally catch it."

Seeing that she didn't even think about it, Zhao Si refused, and knew something was wrong inside, so he became even more suspicious, so he cupped his hands and said like a rascal: "That cat has human nature, after I bring it back, only I can hold it, if someone else carefully Let it be scratched, don't dare to bother brother, let me go and find it."

This time Qiaoer raised her brows even higher. She is backward in her own way, and she has never been friendly with others. Now that Zhao Si disgusted her so much, she instinctively stopped him and said with a sneer: "Since that cat has psychic abilities , and you are the only one who can hug him, why did he run away? According to me, this master should go back to his room and search carefully, so as not to blame others."

"False others? I...I slandered others?" Zhao Si asked her to tell the truth about the conspiracy, his face turned red immediately, and he gasped, "Brother, you are not taboo when you are young, so naturally I don't care about you, but slander It’s really my brother’s bloody mouth. If you don’t believe me, ask this little guy, has he ever seen me bring a cat in with his own eyes?”

The little guy heard him hurriedly said: "He really brought a cat in."

Qiao'er said: "Then have you ever seen what the cat looks like, is it as expensive as he said?"

The young man was startled for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I've seen it, but I haven't seen it. They say it's too precious to show us."

Qiao'er laughed secretly in her heart, she was afraid that Zhao Si was just trying to fish in troubled waters, so she could make a fortune out of it, so she chuckled and said: "Then I advise you to think carefully, and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes." He said that he lost his cat in your shop, and when the time comes to find someone to pay for his little-known cat, your shopkeeper will be out of luck."

"This... this..." The little guy didn't expect Qiao'er to be so distressed. After thinking about it carefully, although Zhao Si has made a little fortune these days, he is not rich enough to buy a cat worth a thousand gold. Thinking of his normal life, he only thought that he had really fallen into a trap, turned around and said, "Master, our shop is small, and all we do is small businesses, so we can't stand your troubles. Just now this brother also Having said that, I am curious about the uniqueness of the cat that the master bought, it is worth a thousand gold, and the other is to deceive us, is it intentional to deceive?"

Zhao Si let him speak in a hurry, angry and annoyed, he couldn't help pushing the boy, and regardless of Qiao'er blocking the way, he went in and said, "What did I lie to you, let me find the cat Besides, I will let you open your eyes at that time, what is gold."

Seeing that he was so reckless, Qiao'er and the little boy froze. Qiao'er was about to dissuade him when he heard a creaking door panel. The two came out hand in hand, stood on the platform, looked at Zhao Si and scolded: "Stop, who dares to break in?"

Zhao Si stopped in fright when he heard the scolding, and raised his eyes to see two girls standing side by side. One was double-ten, with a beautiful face, showing no prestige; He bowed to the person who was talking about it, and said with a smile: "Miss, forgive me, the little one lost a very precious cat. I wonder if the girl has seen it?"

Qingping Mingyue looked at each other silently, not knowing what he meant by that, Zhou Fuxiang had already come out, Wen Shuo quickly stood behind the two of them and asked, "But that cat that is worth thousands of dollars?"
