"Aren't you afraid that you won't remember me? Why are you here?" Qian Zhao said with a smile and took a step back.
Looking at the eyes of the master and servant in front of him, he secretly thought something was wrong.
Qi Qi followed Xu Nuo, her eyes widened as she stared at Qian Zhao's face, as if she wanted to see through his face.
She reluctantly looked away until Qian Zhao looked at her.
"Of course I came to see you, cousin, but I don't know why you are in a place like this?" Xu Nuo asked with a smile, pointing to the people coming in and out. These people were either maids or servants.
The place where they are now is a cloth shop.
It is promised that for the shop in Bianjing, the shopkeepers will send the account books here on the fifth day of every month, and for businesses in other places, the account books will be sent here on the tenth day of the month.
Chuntang is responsible for taking away the ledger before dinner on these two days.
This kind of shop is definitely not the place where Qian Zhao should come.
Seeing Xu Nuo hiding a knife in his smile, Qian Zhao knew that she must have known about him and Chuntang. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, and was not willing to bow his head and admit the purpose of his coming here. He only said: "What am I doing here? It will still be my turn." It’s not up to you, Xu Liu Niang, to take care of it.”
"Cousin from the Qian family is right, but I am in charge of my maid. I have asked people to reward her with twenty big boards a few days ago. I heard that she can stand up today. It seems that she will have to work hard to go back. Moms." Xu Nuo brushed the broken hair around her ears and said it very casually, as if she saw a stall selling wontons on the roadside when she came here.
Qian Zhao frowned, took a big step forward, bent down and stared at Xu Nuo, and asked, "What did you do to her?"
"Of course I did what a master should do, but cousin Qian, what did you do?"
There was sarcasm and disdain in Xu Nuo's eyes.
Qian Zhao looked away in embarrassment and did not answer her.
"Why don't we go sit somewhere and talk carefully about what you have done." Xu Nuo said. Without waiting for Qian Zhao's answer, he turned around and walked out, leaving only his back.
Qian Zhao showed impatience on his face and chased her out, pointing at Xu Nuo's back and shouting: "Let her go, and I will take good care of her."
Xu Nuo turned around and asked quickly: "Will you marry her?"
She sneered and entered the restaurant next to her.
Qian Zhao couldn't believe his ears. What nonsense was Xu Liuniang talking about? Chun Tang was a maid, how could he marry her? Of course, although he won't marry her, he will take care of her for the rest of his life.
Qian Zhao didn't follow, Xu Nuo was not in a hurry, found a quiet private room and ordered tea. She stood by the window, her arms resting on the window sill, and her index fingers tapping rhythmically, as if waiting for something.
After a while, there was a fight outside.
Xu Nuo stuck his head out and looked out, only to see Qian Zhao fighting with two people, one was thin and the other was stronger.
None of the three men used weapons. When Qian Zhao pushed his elbow into the thin man's chest, the other man struck him in the back with a fierce sweep of the leg. He hurriedly withdrew his strength to grab the man's ankle, but the thin man directly used it. Use the choke technique to restrain him.
Qian Zhao frowned, and when he could hardly breathe, he kicked the thin man's lower body with his legs.
"Ouch! Damn it!"
With a scream, the thin man let go of Qian Zhao and stepped back. Qian Zhao immediately hit him with his fist, and the thin man almost fell down after being beaten.
Before Qian Zhao could retract his fist, another person grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground...
Outnumbered, Qian Zhao quickly succumbed and was escorted into the restaurant where Xu Nuo was by twisting his arms.
He struggled all the way and thought of many ways to escape, but he didn't expect to see Xu Nuo here. He yelled: "Xu Liu Niang, how dare you!"
How dare you find someone to beat me up!
How dare you tie me up!
Two men suddenly appeared and attacked him just now. While fighting, he was thinking about who he had offended recently. At this moment, seeing Xu Nuo waiting for him here very comfortably, everything is obvious.
Xu Nuo nodded, and the two let go of Qian Zhao and pushed him into the box.
Qian Zhao was unprepared and staggered for two steps before he regained his balance. He turned around and was about to scold him, but found that the two men were no longer there.
"I can't defeat just two guards, no wonder I can't go to the battlefield." Xu Nuo showed no mercy, poking at Qian Zhao's most painful spot.
Last year and this year, Qian Zhao asked for orders to join the army for two consecutive years, but was rejected.
There is a rumor circulating in Bianjing that the fourth prince of the Qian family thought that Qian Zhao's martial arts knowledge was not solid, so he stayed at home to continue practicing.
Xu Nuo just watched Qian Zhao's counterattack when he was besieged. He reacted quickly enough and was powerful enough, but he was not good at killing people. But it can be seen that he is not poor in martial arts. It seems that someone in the Qian family is afraid that he will be injured, so they have kept him and not allowed him to join the army.
Qian Zhao clenched his fists tightly, and veins appeared on the exposed half of his arms.
Seeing that he was really angry, Xunuo knew that her goal had been achieved, so she called Qi Qiyue, "Bring my Tang Pozi in, it's very cold here."
People who are irritable and only know how to contain themselves during a fight but don't know how to attack directly are not suitable for the battlefield.
Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, is good at disguising his emotions. Even when facing an enemy he hates, he can still greet him with a smile. Moreover, when he fights, every move is aimed at killing the opponent, and he never makes unnecessary moves. Therefore, people like Xiao Yuan are suitable both as killers and as soldiers.
Qiyue brought Tang Pozi in, Xu Nuo held it in her arms with one hand, picked up the teacup with the other, and drank the hot tea. Her whole body became warm, with a satisfied expression on her face.
"Where did you get these people?" When Qian Zhao saw Xu Nuo no longer paying attention to him, he sat directly opposite her, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his still angry face.
The two people he fought with just now were obviously not at the level of ordinary house guards, and Xu Gucheng was a civil servant, so there should not be such a skilled guard in his family.
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "You won't believe anything I say, so why not tell me about Chuntang."
Qian Zhao had mixed emotions on his face. He glanced at Xu Nuo and then at the hot tea in front of him. He sighed and said, "Please don't punish her again. It's all my fault."
Seeing that his tone had softened, Xu Nuo curved his lips and said, "Cousin of the Qian family, what can you do wrong? Looking for flowers and asking Liu Ben is what you often do, but my maidservant has eyesight and cannot recognize Taishan." , she is being punished now because she did something wrong and she deserves it. However, she was beaten because of you. I only ask you one question, why did you hide your identity from her? "
"She's not that kind of person. It's all my fault." Qian Zhao didn't expect Xu Nuo to ask this, so he poured the tea soup into his mouth and started from the beginning.
"First, it was Brother Qi who said that a servant girl who was very good at female work came to the house. She was a pretty girl and wanted to take me to have a look. I didn't want to go at first, but he said that it was your aunt who came from the Xu Mansion specially. The one I borrowed was a standard Jiangnan girl with a very good figure, so I followed him to have a look."
"Then what?"
Xu Nuo looked very calm on the surface, but the anger in his heart was enough to burn down the entire building. It took her a lot of endurance not to splash the tea on Qian Zhao's face.
