Chapter 268: It is the voice that haunts my dreams
Qingxiao: ...
In order to facilitate travel, this is the outfit of a young man.
She handed the proprietress half a tael of silver and said, "Then give me half a tael of wine."
The proprietress immediately smiled brightly: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
As she spoke, she was about to take the silver.
Qing Xiao took back the silver: "Tell me the news first, and then I will buy some wine."
The proprietress curled her lips and said, "Everyone in this restaurant has been thrown in jail, from the cooks to the handymen. They've all been locked up. They've been locked up for almost a month."
Qing Xiao asked: "Why were you arrested?"
The proprietress gloated a bit: "Why else? This restaurant has been discovered harboring criminals."
"Haha, they have a secret room and have evaded raids several times. They thought they were safe hiding in it. One of the prisoners was seriously injured, and the shopkeeper went to buy medicine. The authorities found the shopkeeper through the purchase records."
"The prisoners got wind of it and were moved away, but the monk could escape, but the temple could not. The authorities found the owner, but he refused to admit it, so the authorities detained everyone in the restaurant."
"My brother-in-law works in the government office. He said the shopkeeper was tortured beyond recognition but refused to reveal the whereabouts of the criminals. He also insisted that he was innocent. How foolish!"
Qingxiao originally thought that after asking for the information, he would turn around and leave without giving her any money or buying her any wine, just to piss off the old woman.
After hearing these words, she changed her mind.
Qingxiao handed half a tael of silver to the proprietress.
The proprietress bit it with her teeth and found that it was real silver, then got up to get some wine.
"Sister Zhang, don't try to fool me with your bad wine," Qing Xiao said. "Although I'm young, I drink a lot, but I can smell it."
The proprietress really wants to fool us with inferior wine.
Hearing this, the hand pouring the wine paused: "What sister-in-law Zhang, you recognized the wrong person, my husband's surname is Wang, can't you see? Our family is called Wangquan Liquor Store."
Qing Xiao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
"So the boss's name is Wang Quan. No wonder your business is so good. Wine comes from springs, and the name fits the shop perfectly. By the way, your brother-in-law's name isn't Wang Shui, is it?"
The proprietress said: "Then you guessed wrong. My brother-in-law is called Wang He."
Qingxiao got the wine.
She found a secluded place, changed into women's clothes, bought a roast chicken, and went to the back court with some wine.
When the yamen runners saw the fair-skinned and beautiful Qingxiao, their eyes widened.
"Who are you looking for, young lady?"
Qing Xiao blushed slightly and said shyly, "Excuse me, big brother, is Big Brother Wang He here?"
"Oh, so you're looking for that kid." The yamen runner called out, "Wang He, someone's looking for you."
Wang He thought it was his brother and sister-in-law who came to see him.
Walk out lazily.
I didn't see my brother and sister-in-law, but I saw a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a petite figure and a first-class appearance.
The girl's skin was snow-white, even whiter than the courtesans he had seen in brothels.
That little waist is so thin, the little hands are so tender, the little face is so pretty...
Wang He couldn't help swallowing.
"Girl, are you looking for me?"
Qing Xiao blushed and nodded: "Sister-in-law Wang Quan asked me to come."
"Here, this is for you."
Qingxiao handed the roast chicken and wine to Wang He: "You haven't had lunch yet, right? You guys have worked hard on patrol, share the roast chicken and wine."
Wang He was stunned: "My brother and sister-in-law asked you to give it to me?"
My brother and sister-in-law have always been stingy.
Forget about sending him wine and roast chicken, it would be a good thing not to extort anything from him.
This girl must be lying.
When Qingxiao saw Wang He's expression, he knew that Wang He didn't believe it.
The lady boss of the liquor store looked mean and stingy, and didn't seem like the type of person who would buy roast chicken and liquor for anyone.
Qingxiao's face immediately turned red.
"No, no, I..."
"Didn't Mrs. Wang tell you about me? I... I thought she did. Yes, I'm sorry. These are bought by me. Eat them while they're hot."
"If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."
Qingxiao stuffed the roast chicken and wine into Wang He's hands and ran away with a red face.
Wang He felt something heavy in his hand.
The aroma of roast chicken, the aroma of wine, and the body fragrance of the young girl...
Wang He was a little confused by the smoke.
"Boy, you are so lucky."
"You've been hiding it so well, boy. How could such a beautiful girl fall for you?"
The yamen runners laughed and joked.
Wang He shared the roast chicken and wine, and after finishing his shift, he immediately ran to Wangquan Wine Shop.
The proprietress was still cracking melon seeds.
"Sister-in-law." Wang He looked inside and saw no one else. "Let me ask you something."
"Do you know a pretty girl? She's about this tall, with fair skin..."
The proprietress spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and asked, "What girl?"
Wang He then told him about a girl who brought him wine and roast chicken at noon.
The proprietress wanted to say that she didn't know any girl.
As the words were on the tip of his tongue, he rolled his eyes and saw that judging from Wang He's expression, he was probably attracted to the girl.
If she becomes a matchmaker, there will be a lot of benefits involved.
"Oh, look at my brain."
"You're not young anymore, it's time to think about your lifelong affairs. Look, there's a girl on my aunt's side who's the right age, so I mentioned her."
"Hey, we haven't even started yet, but I didn't expect this girl to be so brave as to come looking for you."
When Wang He heard this, he was extremely excited.
"Sister-in-law, you are my great benefactor."
"Her, what's her name? How old is she?"
The proprietress had no idea what Qing Xiao's name was, so she made it up, "The girl's name is Cui Yu. She's about seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and she's very pretty."
"By the way, if you're interested in that girl, I'll go and find out more. That's what I'm trying to do. I can't go empty-handed..."
Wang He looked down on this stingy sister-in-law.
However, it was rare for him to meet a girl that suited his taste, so he directly gave the proprietress one or two taels of silver.
"Sister-in-law, don't be stingy with your money. Buy more and buy some good things."
The lady boss took the money and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me doing the job."
After Wang He left, she put the silver in her pocket.
When Wang He came out of the wine shop, his legs were weak and he felt like he was in a dream.
at night.
He couldn't fall asleep no matter what. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Qingxiao's snow-white skin, slender figure, and shy and pretty face...
In the middle of the night, I was so angry that I felt like I was going to burst into flames.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the brothel to find his old lover. He dragged his old lover and had sex with her until almost dawn before he calmed down.
He didn't see Qingxiao again in the next few days.
When I went to the liquor store to ask, the proprietress made up an excuse to get away with it.
Wang He began to feel distracted and unable to sleep at night.
After waiting for another three days, Qingxiao still didn't show up.
Wang He couldn't help it and went to the wine shop again.
The wine shop owner was just making up stories to begin with, but she was cornered by Wang He and was afraid of being exposed, so she said that a noble man had taken a fancy to the girl, but her family had rejected her.
Wang He felt as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out, and he walked away in a daze.
He didn't know where he was going, and just wandered around like a ghost.
After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard a woman crying.
That voice was exactly the voice he had been dreaming about!
