Chapter 14 Little girl? snort!
The two siblings walked into the main hall. Jiang Mingyue saw that her brother had been silent all the way, and asked in confusion, "Huh?" ’ made a sound.
"One day, Mr. Xie and I were chatting about my sister. He said you were smart and lively."
Jiang Mingyue's smile was bright.
"He's quite good at complimenting people!"
"Sister, I feel smart and lively. These two words seem to be praising a girl with hair-length hair?"
Jiang Mingyue: "???"
Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother and fell silent. After a while, she laughed dryly and said: "Sister is only sixteen, she is indeed still a little girl!"
"When my mother was your age, she was married to my father."
Jiang Mingyue: "..."
"Can we still have a good chat?" Jiang Mingyue pouted and said unhappy.
Jiang Minghong covered his mouth with his right hand and returned to the house.
In the boudoir, Jiang Mingyue stood in front of the mirror, taking pictures again and again. The girl in the mirror was exquisite and graceful. Although there was still a little baby fat on her face, her body was well developed and she didn't look like a little girl. He buried Tai. who! snort!
Xie Yuan didn't know that he had offended Jiang Mingyue because of his words. Because he had to get up early to make buns tomorrow, he made a rare change in his schedule that night and fell asleep half an hour early.
The next day, Xie Yuan got up before dawn. He lit the oil lamp and went to the kitchen. He first kneaded the dough and fermented it, then cut the beef and minced the stuffing, and then seasoned it with ginger, green onions and spices.
After Xie Yuan had mixed the beef filling, a bright light slowly appeared in the east, and then the courtyard door rang.
Knowing that Jiang Minghong was here, Xie Yuan washed his hands, opened the courtyard door and led him into the study. While the two were sitting together reading, Jiang Mingyue pulled the cart to Dongshi.
At half past nine, Jiang Minghong returned home carrying four steaming steamed buns, and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he looked at the things on the cart.
Two chickens, two ducks, two fish weighing about three to four kilograms, six ribs, river shrimps that looked to be about two or three kilograms, and some mountain mushrooms, green vegetables that looked like wild vegetables, etc.
With so many things, how long does Sister intend to let Mr. Xie do it? Or is she doing it on purpose?
Jiang Mingyue walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of milk porridge and handed it to her younger brother. She took the buns in his hand and said, "Send these things on the cart to Mr. Xie."
All right! She even stopped calling Brother Xie, and my sister really did it on purpose.
"Sister, is that a little too much?"
Jiang Mingyue smiled gently at her younger brother: "Mr. Xie said that we should prepare the ingredients, but he didn't tell us to prepare all the ingredients, so of course the more the merrier."
"But……"
Jiang Mingyue interrupted her brother directly.
"Don't worry, send it over quickly! Sister is waiting for you to come back for breakfast."
Jiang Minghong looked at his sister who was walking away and said, "Oh, I can't afford to offend her." He carried the porridge in one hand and pulled the cart to the next door. Seeing Xie Yuan's gaze lingering on the carriage for several seconds, he explained: "My sister didn't know what to prepare, so she bought some. Sir, just look at the arrangements." .”
He should have thought of it a long time ago. It seems that he will have to do the purchasing in the future.
"Do you have any taboos?"
"My sister can't eat garlic, so there's nothing else."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly.
After sending Jiang Minghong away, Xie Yuan put the chickens and ducks in the backyard, fish and shrimps in the water tank, ribs and other things in the kitchen, and put them away before eating.
In the main hall, Jiang Mingyue saw that her brother was back, and then she started eating.
The beef buns were still a little hot, perhaps because they had just come out of the pot. Jiang Mingyue turned to her left hand and blew on them, then opened her pink mouth and took a bite.
Well, the filling is very tender and not fishy at all, delicious!
Jiang Minghong quickly finished a bun and looked at Jiang Mingyue and said, "Sister, I need to go out for something."
Jiang Mingyue, who was struggling to eat steamed buns, raised her head.
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, I'll be back soon."
"I understand, please be safe on the road."
Jiang Minghong said "Hmm". After entering Yu's private school, he would have less free time. No matter what he did, it would probably be extremely inconvenient. Therefore, before entering the private school, he had to settle that matter first.
Jiang Mingyue looked at her younger brother who was leaving. After thinking for a moment, she suppressed all the speculations in her mind, got up and returned to the house.
At the dock, Jiang Minghong looked at the extra patterns on the wall and smiled. He followed the instructions and gradually left the dock.
After burning the incense, Jiang Minghong stopped in front of a small, dilapidated courtyard that seemed uninhabited. He patted the courtyard door gently, two long and one short, very rhythmic.
After a while, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a very ordinary-looking, thin man came out.
"Kid, who are you looking for?" The man stared at Jiang Minghong and asked in an unkind tone.
Jiang Minghong appropriately showed some fear, stuffed the purse he had prepared in advance into his hand and said, "A big brother asked me to give it to you."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Even though he had run far away, he could still feel that the man was always watching him. It wasn't until he turned a corner that the line of sight disappeared.
He had dealt with these people for many years in his previous life and knew exactly what kind of people they were.
Not a bad guy, but definitely not a good guy. If he dealt with them directly now, not only would those people not help him investigate and monitor the Chen family, he and his sister would probably be in danger.
The thin man closed the courtyard door, opened his purse and saw that there were two hundred taels inside. He let out a surprised "Yo", walked into the bedroom and handed the purse to a burly man.
"It's business."
"what business?"
"Investigate a minor official named Chen in the Ministry of Rites, and then monitor him for two months to see who is interacting with him during this period."
"How much money did you give? What is the background of the other party?"
"I don't know. I asked a young man to send us a letter. I was quite generous and gave him two hundred taels. He said he would give us another hundred taels later."
The burly man nodded and asked, "Are you going to watch the monkey?"
"went!"
The burly man heard this and left with his purse.
Jiang Minghong stayed here for a long time at the dock. After leaving, he chatted on the street for half an hour. After making sure that the person following him had left, he went home.
In the main hall, Jiang Mingyue saw her brother coming back and said, "Come in and take a look at the schoolbag I just made for you."
Jiang Minghong quickly walked into the main hall after hearing this. Although the schoolbag made by his sister looked a bit strange, it was very useful. When he was in Yuanjiang Mansion, he also made the first money in his life with the schoolbag.
Jiang Mingyue handed the schoolbag to her younger brother and said, "I'm too pressed for time, so I won't embroider it for now. I'll make it for you again later."
"Okay, thank you sister."
Jiang Minghong specially carried it on his body to try it out.
"Just right!"
"Well, I'll sew two more pockets for you, so you can put bamboo cups or other small things."
"it is good!"
…………
At Shen Shi, Jiang Minghong, who had been waiting for less than half an hour, glanced at the east room. Why did it take so long for my sister to wash and dress up today? He couldn't help but urge.
"Sister, it's time for us to set off." Xie Yuan promised that he would go to his place to help. It would be bad to go too late.
"coming!"
The moment Jiang Mingyue opened the curtain and walked out, she looked at her brother who was stunned for a moment, curled her lips, and was very satisfied with the effect of today's outfit.
Who dares to call her a 'little girl' after watching this?
