Chapter 20: Getting Burned
Bai Wei is ready to show off her skills.
Make a pot of good wine and buy some braised food, two pounds of pork, one pound of mutton, and a small bottle of sesame oil.
Xie Yuzhuo rented a ox cart and the two returned to Shiping Village together.
Jiang returned home from the ground and saw Bai Wei and Xie Yuzhuo coming back. He said happily: "Why don't you tell your father when you are back today? There is nothing to be prepared at home."
"I made a temporary decision." Bai Wei took the hoe from Jiang's shoulder and carried it on her shoulder.
"Auntie, I'm here to bother you today." Xie Yuzhuo was wearing a moon-white long gown. He was white and the light blue made him look elegant and elegant. His face was bright and he was very fond of his elders. "My sister Wei said that the dishes you cook were delicious. I had been greedy for a long time. After all, she was willing to take me to taste your skills." He handed the gift he prepared to Jiang, touched his stomach, and said sweetly: "I didn't eat lunch, so I specially came to enjoy my appetite with an empty stomach."
"Come here, what to bring, it's so much money." Jiang was so excited that she was coaxed. She was grateful to Xie Yuzhuo, and now she likes him even more. "Master Xie, when do you want to eat, come to my house, as long as you don't dislike it, it's just a simple meal."
"Aunt, Bai Meng and I are classmates. You call me Xiao Xie." Xie Yuzhuo said a few words, asking Jiang to say a little thank you at once and not treat him as an outsider.
Bai Wei looked at Jiang. Her hair was gray and her vicissitudes of face were covered with wrinkles. Her eyes were not very good, and she squinted in the sun. Xie Yuzhuo didn't know what she said, but she couldn't stop smiling.
Bai Wei put the braised sauce on the plate and planned to make radish stewed pork belly and mutton and green onion dumplings.
She went to the field to pull onions and saw Liu Qi sitting on the ox cart and heading towards the town.
Liu Qi was guarding the door of Xie's jade shop before, and she thought Gu Shi'an incited Liu Qi to attack her.
She was just about to carve Jade Guanyin, so she didn't go out easily. Today, she invited Xie Yuzhuo back, which had two purposes.
One of them was worried that Liu Qi would be allowed to stare at her and find someone to ambush her. Although she could beat her, it would be much better to have a man around her.
Secondly, she asked Xie Yuzhuo to invite Gu Shi'an to the door. It turned out that she had other plans. She unexpectedly heard Gu Shi'an ask about Yu Guanyin and specially led Xie Yuzhuo away. If the purpose was Yu Guanyin, they would definitely do it tonight.
Bai Wei was unsure of her heart. She didn't encounter an ambush when she came back on the road. She was just suspicious that they were fighting Yu Guanyin's idea.
In Bai Wei's eyes, Gu Shi'an and Liu Qi were in the same group, and they were in a gang.
After sending the scallions home, Bai Wei said to Jiang, "Mom, you will entertain Xie Yuzhuo tonight. I will ask someone to make a diamond knife. I will deliver the goods today. I forgot about this and have to rush back so that people won't wait for a long time."
"You go quickly." Jiang asked, "Are you back today?"
"It's too late, I'll be back tomorrow."
Bai Wei waved her hand and told Jiang not to give it away.
As soon as she left, Shen Yu came back with a rabbit on her back.
"Where did you catch a rabbit? Vivi likes furry things when she was young, and she will definitely be happy." Jiang took a basin of dirty water under a date tree in the yard, "She just went to the town."
Shen Yu put the rabbit in the kitchen, "Go to town so late?"
Jiang sighed, "I said I was looking for someone to make a diamond knife. I want to give it to her today, so she has to rush to get the goods."
Shen Yu paused his hands and asked him to find someone to do it.
Bai Wei is lying.
"I'll go and have a look." Shen Yu quickly washed his hands and strode to chase Bai Wei.
Bai Wei didn't know that Chen Yu followed her and rushed to the jade shop.
She was not completely sure that Liu Qi would make a fool of himself, so she specially asked for a room facing the backyard of the shop in the inn next to the shop.
Opening a window, Bai Wei moved a chair and sat in front of the window, staring at the movement of the shop.
Wait for the rabbit.
She was almost asleep, hungry and sleepy, and heard the couple knocking on "bangbang".
Second update.
Bai Wei yawned, wondering if she had guessed wrongly.
When she saw a black shadow sitting on the wall of the shop, she suddenly stood up and hid in the darkness, witnessing two black shadows crawling into the yard.
She immediately left the inn and saw a man sitting on the steps, leaning against the pillar. She paused and recognized from his familiar side face that it was Shenhui.
"Why are you here?" Bai Wei was surprised.
Chenhui closed his eyes and was relieved. He heard Bai Wei's voice and suddenly opened his eyes. The black pupils seemed to flow under the cold moonlight, which was particularly attractive.
He was always alert, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of sleepiness.
The moment he looked sideways, Bai Wei's heart beats, and her thumb can't help but shave her palm.
"Wait for you."
His voice was hoarse and low, and Bai Wei felt her ears itchy.
Perhaps because the night is hazy, these two words seem ambiguous. But his expression is serious, as if it is an exceptionally normal thing.
Bai Wei left her head and didn't look at him, "I have something to do now, you're waiting for me here."
He hurriedly ran to the shop, at the corner, with his back against the wall, and looked slightly protruding his head to look.
Liu Qi opened the box, looked at a jade Guanyin inside, and touched it, and it felt smooth.
"This jade Guanyin is really good, but unfortunately I can't sell it for money!"
He wanted to sell it but was afraid that Mr. Zhao would find out.
Shi Tou rubbed his hands: "Brother Liu, this thing is worth a lot of money, right? I went to the inn to open a room for you to rest. I will find a customer to take it off tomorrow."
"This is Mr. Zhao's thing, so I don't have the courage to sell it!" Liu Qi patted the stone's hand, "I'll just make do with you for a night and go back to the village at dawn."
Shi Tou said in surprise: "You brought the things back to the village? Wouldn't Mr. Zhao go to your house to pick up your sister tomorrow?"
"Don't worry about that much!"
Bai Wei heard from her voice that it was Liu Qi. When she saw Chen Yue's face was cold and she was about to go over and catch Liu Qi. She quickly grabbed his sleeve, and ignored the information revealed in Shi Tou's words.
"Don't go, I have other plans!"
Bai Wei was worried that Liu Qi would hear it, so she pulled Chen Yu's clothes on her chest, pulled him down, tiptoed, leaned against his ear, and whispered in a low voice.
The whole person was almost stuck in Shen Yu's arms, and his warm breath sprinkled on his ears, and a small piece of hairy chestnuts appeared on his skin wherever he reached.
Chen Yu was tense and did not dare to move. He clenched his hands into fists before he could control the movement of throwing her away.
"Help me stare at Liu Qi, don't let him discover you. I'm going back to the village now and go and prepare first."
Bai Wei thought for a moment, and vaguely knew his plans from Liu Qi's words.
Since he doesn't want to ruin it and dare not sell it, is he causing trouble for her to steal it?
However, in Gu Shian's eyes, she was just an apprentice, and the main responsibility should be Xie Yuzhuo.
Moreover, Liu Qi would not have much effort to carry Yu Guanyin back to the village and just find a place in the town to hide it.
This can basically be ruled out.
Suddenly, a light flashed through her mind.
Liu Qi plans to frame her?
She is Xie Yuzhuo's apprentice, and she has this opportunity to steal Jade Guanyin.
Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to Yu Guanyin and will definitely get furious when he finds that she stole it.
"I'll go one step first, I'll leave it to you here!"
She had the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees after bathing, and kept drilling into his nose. Her thoughts were pulled by her breath and were a little slow for a moment. When she realized that, Bai Wei had already left quickly.
Chen Yu frowned. Bai Wei was the first woman so close to him, and he didn't seem to be too repulsive.
Leng Yue crossed a layer of frost on his face, Chen Yu looked at Liu Qi with a sharp look and followed.
——
As soon as the sky was dawn, Liu Qi rented a ox cart and returned to the village.
He held the sack and put the box in his left hand and went straight to Gu Shi'an's house.
He planned to put the things there, and then he went to find Bai Li and coaxed Bai Li to bring Yu Guanyin back to the Bai family.
When Mr. Zhao came to pick up his sister, he almost knew that Yu Guanyin was stolen, so he complained directly and asked Mr. Zhao to search at Bai Wei's house.
Gu Shian looked at Liu Qi coming to the door early in the morning, holding a sack in his hand, and had a bad feeling in his heart. Before he could speak, Liu Qi had already entered the house, put the things on the side of the table, and poured a bowl of water with one hand to drink.
Liu Qi said: "Brother Gu, I will put the things here first and let Bai Li come and take them away later."
Gu Shi'an quickly closed the door, angry, and secretly scolded Liu Qi as a stupid pig. He didn't smash the things and brought them to his house.
If things start to go wrong, he will also get angry.
"I'll go out for something later, take the things away..." Before Gu Shi'an finished speaking, a sound came from outside the door, "Ju Ren Gu, are you at home?"
