Ping An felt embarrassed when Gu Hu saw the clues. He couldn't deal with this sharp-tongued guy, so he had to resort to a trick. He arrived at Gujiapu in less than a moment after galloping on horseback. When the guard at the gate saw him approaching, he hurriedly opened the second door. He did not dismount his horse even though he was safe, and accelerated forward with his hands on the horse's belly.
The main courtyard was in front of him. Ping An flew off his horse and took down the baggage on both sides. Inside were cooked food and preserved fruits. The pastries were carried on his back to avoid being broken when the horse galloped.
He handed the horse to the servant, packed everything into the east wing, coughed, and shouted loudly: "Caijing, I'm back."
The two sisters have already cut Han Dalang's clothes. The eldest sister is a big worker and is responsible for the main body sewing. Caiwei is not very good at crafts and does some small work such as hemming and ironing. They have finished two sets of clothes for their father. Just when I was about to rest for a while, I heard the cry of safety.
The two of them walked into the hall. Ping An had already placed three bundles on the table and said happily: "Caijing, I specially bought you delicious food in the capital. Come and take a look."
Da Ya didn't say anything, and Caiwei, who was ignored, said: "Don't let my sister eat the things you bought specially for my sister Da Ya!"
Ping An didn't dare to offend her now, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Caiwei, why are you arguing with your sister? You are an old man in our house. Isn't your sister a newcomer? Isn't it right for me to be nice to her? "?" Then he complained dissatisfiedly to Caiwei, "I said, your name is Zhaodi. Which of us calls you by your old name? Why do you keep calling your sister one after another? From now on, you will be called Caijing, do you know?"
Caiwei understood very well the boy's need to protect his loved ones and agreed with a smile.
Caijing grew up in the countryside, and everything she ate was produced by herself. My wife Wang made it herself. Occasionally, Han Dalang bought back a few pieces of candy, which he could eat with aconite. After he sold it to Mr. Liu's house in Songjiang Mansion, he also lived there. In the inner house, whatever was being eaten was cooked in the kitchen. The lady occasionally enjoyed some pastries and candies, which are local specialties. She had never seen such delicious, delicious food in the capital. When she saw a lot of things on the table, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Ping An kept staring at Caijing, and when he saw that she was just looking at her without extending her hand, he became a little anxious and gave her a finger-long ham sausage, "Try it quickly, this is a new product from the century-old Sanshun Delicatessen Shop. Extremely delicious.”
Caijing didn't know that this was the formula provided by her younger sister Caiwei, and she could still get a commission. She just smelled an indescribable fragrance. She couldn't resist the temptation, stretched out her hand to take it, took a bite, and couldn't help but smile on her face. Eat one in two or three bites.
Caiwei had to admire the ancients' wisdom and sensitive understanding of the market. Modern hams are usually more than twenty centimeters long. In ancient times, one cost half a tael of silver. The shopkeeper of Sanshun Delicatessen Shop destroyed one ham into three pieces. , it doesn’t cost much for customers from small households to buy one and try it.
After all, Cai Jing was a bit reserved as a girl. After eating a piece of ham sausage, she stopped and stopped reaching out no matter what Ping An tried to persuade her to do.
Caiwei took two mouthfuls of candied fruit and got three looks from Ping An. She pushed the thing away angrily and said angrily: "Brother Ping An, what's wrong with me taking a few bites of your snacks? You won't let me eat them. Why are you putting them on my table?" What? Take it away quickly!"
Ping An sneered and raised his voice an octave, "Miss Caiwei, you are the master and Caijing is the guest. You don't let the guests eat and you eat it yourself. Is this the way our Zhongyong Hou Mansion treats guests? I'll say it again. , Caijing is a guest, a guest!”
Ping An ran away first. Gu Jingzhi and others guessed that there must be something wrong with him based on his abnormal behavior. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard him talking. Everyone was a strong martial artist, and Ping An's voice was very loud. The word "guest" can be heard clearly.
Gu Hu and others suddenly got into a good mood. Instead of going back to their own rooms, they followed Gu Jingzhi into his room and asked with a smile: "Ping An, where is the guest!"
When they saw the pretty and charming Cai Jing, their eyes lit up and they all knew why Ping An was acting abnormally today.
When Caijing saw Caiwei saluting Gu Jingzhi, she knew that this was the benefactor who redeemed her life. She hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed sincerely and said, "Slave Caijing thanks my benefactor for redeeming me and letting me The sisters are reunited. I am willing to work as an ox or a horse to repay my benefactor for his great kindness."
Gu Jingzhi waved his hand and said to Caiwei: "Hurry and help your sister up." After Caijing stood up, she said again: "No need to thank me, I did all this for your sister Caiwei. Since you are free, there is no need to Call yourself a slave, you will repay me by treating your parents well and being filial to Caiwei from now on."
No matter how shrewd and energetic Cai Jing was, she was only eleven years old. She didn't understand what Gu Jingzhi meant at all. When she heard that he wanted to honor her parents for Cai Wei, she nodded hurriedly and replied respectfully: "My little girl must fulfill her filial piety for her sister. Let Cai Jing Wei will do her best to take care of you, your benefactor."
Gu Jingzhi was very satisfied with her words, nodded and asked, "Ping An, has Caijing's accommodation been arranged properly?"
Ping An stood beside him with his hands down and said, "We have arranged to be next to you in the east wing so that the two sisters can talk and chat."
Gu Jingzhi waved his hand for everyone to leave. Caiwei wanted to serve him, and Ping An took Cai Jing to her room.
Gu Hu and others blocked the door to watch the excitement. Ping An walked past them and lowered their heads, not daring to look around. They were afraid that Gu Hu would make fun of him and startle Cai Jing. Fortunately, there was no danger, and Gu Hu just smiled. He winked and said nothing.
