Chapter 154: Qiu Mansion
The latest website: Pei Xiu looked at the mansion and there was not much scenery, just a few big trees, not much greening, it was empty, and it seemed that the place was very spacious.
Come over from the front yard and cross a section of bluestone road to arrive, just a cup of tea.
"This is the yard. It's the largest yard besides the main yard. The entrance is the main room, with two bedrooms on both sides, and the two rooms on the side are the wing rooms. They are all cleaned up, and the bedding is new. , you can see if there is anything missing, and I will make it up for you."
Sister Chen dutifully introduced Pei Xiu. Her boss told her that this was the family of the master's friend, and she should treat her well. She didn't dare to underestimate Pei Xiu dressed as a peasant woman. She doesn't look like an ordinary peasant woman who is rude or petty, but she is generous and polite, which makes people feel good when they see her.
"It's already very good, we'll just stay for one night, we don't need so many rooms, and we don't need to prepare anything. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chen." The place is spacious, clean and tidy, better than a farm.
"Mrs. Zhou is very kind. We are servants. This is what we should do. Does the wife want to rest for a while or go around? "
"I want to go to the martial arts field just now to see a few children." She was not very interested in this mansion. They came to the provincial capital to visit the lantern festival. It is not yet night, but it is already very lively, so you can go out and stroll around.
"Then I'll take my wife there."
She could see from a distance in the middle of the field that Zhou Cheng and Qiu Baize were sparring, the boys cheered and cheered, and a few servants were watching.
She thought that there were no more than ten people in this mansion's owner and subordinates.
"it is good......"
"Wow, Dad is amazing..."
"It turns out that Uncle Qiu really can't beat Dad..."
"Uncle Zhou is amazing."
When the cheers came, Pei Xiu took a few steps forward.
"Mother, have you seen it? Dad is so powerful. The marksmanship makes tigers and tigers powerful, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Uncle Qiu is losing every step of the way." Zhou Yong danced excitedly when he saw his mother coming.
The others were also flushed with excitement, as if they had won the game.
Hu Zi said unconvinced: "Uncle Qiu is also very powerful, his swordsmanship is superb, and he is strong and powerful, but he is not as quick as Uncle Zhou's spear. The shooting skills are superimposed, and the momentum rises. Uncle Qiu was suppressed by his momentum, so he was defeated. "
Everyone else nodded, and felt that Huzi had a point. Uncle Qiu was also very powerful, but he was not as fast as he could shoot, and he was suppressed so he lost.
"The boy's analysis is very reasonable. Zhou Cheng has no white teaching during this time." They also heard what Zhou Yong and Hu Zi said. After the two stopped their hands, they came over and heard these words.
Hu Zi smiled shyly and said, "I think Uncle Zhou and Uncle Qiu are both amazing. I don't know when I will be as amazing as you guys."
Qiu Baize said indifferently, "It's not easy. I'll send you to Huwei Mountain Camp in the second half of the year. But you have to recognize all the characters first."
Hu Zi's eyes lit up. Did you send him to the military camp for training? He is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, as long as he can learn a skill, he wants to be a military general like Uncle Qiu.
He nodded happily.
Zhou Yong was so moved when he heard it, he looked at Qiu Baize and then at his father.
Zhou Cheng refused directly, "You are too young to go, it will take another two years."
"Oh." If you don't go, don't go.
He can play better everywhere. Thinking of this, he didn't really want to go. It didn't seem like a good thing to go to the military camp. It was better to stay at home.
"When are we going to go shopping?" After hearing what they said for a long time, they didn't say when to go out to play, and Zhou Heng was anxious.
Qiu Baize patted his head, "Go now, I'll take you to some lunch first."
"Uncle Qiu, we don't have to eat lunch, we need to save our stomach to pack things later when we go shopping." The boss smiled hehe.
Zhou Heng kept nodding as if the chicken was pecking at the rice, and the others nodded too. They wanted to eat street food.
Zhou Cheng also said: "Wait a while to see what to eat on the side of the road, just eat a little bit."
A group of people went out again in a mighty manner. These boys were like birds flying out of their cages. They didn't walk very well. They ran out of an S shape and occupied the entire road. Fortunately, this road is all residential, everyone closed their doors, and no one comes out on the road now.
It's still dark and the lanterns haven't been hung up yet, but everyone is just as enthusiastic. The faces of the hawkers are full of smiles. Today's income is more than half a month in the past.
The boys were curious about everything they saw. One looked at the other, and then they moved to the next stall collectively, but they didn't say they wanted to buy.
Qiu Baize stepped forward and pulled them and asked, "Why don't you just look at it and not buy it?"
The boss said suspiciously: "Why buy it? We just haven't seen it before, just curious to see it. What's the use of buying something you can't eat or drink?"
The second child also said: "We should save the money to buy delicious food."
"Hey, candied haws, I want to eat candied haws." Zhou Heng wanted to squeeze forward when he heard the cries of candied haws.
Zhou Cheng grabbed his back collar and called out to the candied fruit seller, who came over by himself.
"Uncle, I want candied gourd, do you want it?" Zhou Heng took it into his arms and handed it two cents of money.
Others wanted to eat too, they had only eaten twice when they were so big.
The uncle smiled and shook his head, "Little boy, two cents of candied gourd is not enough. Usually three cents a bunch, but today's holiday price increases, so it costs four cents."
"What? It's so expensive? Is the price going up during the holidays? We only have two cents in the county seat." Hu Zi's eyes widened, and he was reluctant to take out the copper coins in his hands.
Zhou Heng also clutched the copper plate in his hand. Mother said that one person can only spend ten cents today, and he can only pay for what he wants to buy and eat. He looked at the candied gourd with tears in his eyes. It was so expensive that he couldn't get it. He bought half of the candied gourd.
The boss shook his head: "It's too expensive~ I don't want to eat it, you have to eat it and buy it yourself."
Zhou Heng flattened his mouth and looked at his parents, Uncle Qiu.
Zhou Cheng and Pei Xiu didn't care about him, and Qiu Baize looked at him funny.
The uncle who sold the candied haws was not in a hurry, and looked at the group of boys with a smile to discuss.
At this time, Zhou Shan had an idea, "We can buy two bunches, one bunch of five grains, and everyone eats together, just two per person. We also use the remaining money together, so that everyone can buy more things and eat more varieties. A little more."
The boss nodded, "Yes, yes, that's it, let's have a taste, sweet mouth. It's still Zhou Shan's brain!"
The others nodded in agreement.
Qiu Baize said to the couple: "This kid is quite clever. You guys are good. Give them ten pennies and let them spend their own money. It's better than following behind to spend money, and it can also teach them not to spend money indiscriminately. ."
