253. Silver lock

The moon has come out, the camp gate should have been closed a long time ago, how could he still come out, Shi Gui opened the door, and saw Mingyue Le Taotao standing under the shade of the tree, the moon is good today, the silver frost is spread all over the ground, Mingyue has some wine on her body, her eyes are shining and looking at her, groping for something from her arms, and she took out a purse with a big red background for a long time: "This is for you!"

Shi Gui bit her lip, and didn't know whether to stretch out this hand for a while, only to know that he meant this in the morning, and gave a gift at night, she held it with both hands, but it was Mingyue, and she didn't care at all, shook off those red purses, and opened her hands to catch the things that fell out of them.

The bell rang softly twice, Shi Gui couldn't help but stretch out his head to look, to see what kind of thing he sent, Mingyue lowered her head, hooked her fingers for a long time, and then hooked a thin silver chain, and lifted it with a "bang" sound, and a silver lock plate of Ruyi Xiangyun couldn't stop shaking in front of Shi Gui's eyes.

"I see that the girl's family wears this, and when I see a suitable one, I will buy you a handful. He ate the wine, with three or two points of drunkenness, and the breath he spit out had the smell of wine, and when he got closer, the wine sprayed warmly on her face, making Shi Gui's face red.

Mingyue stuffed the lock in her hand, the silver lock piece was very heavy, a pair of double fish on it, and two red beads were embedded in the fish's eyes, the size of a grain of rice, and the words "peace and happiness" were engraved on the back.

Just been held in Mingyue's arms, the lock plate was still hot, Shi Gui pinched it in his hand and felt that this thing was hot, and couldn't help but wonder: "This, what did you buy it?"

Mingyue has a lot of money in her hand, this silver lock is so thick, and there are gems and beads embedded on it, it looks like it is made of fine silver, and the work is meticulous, such a person has to pay a lot of money just for the labor fee, Mingyue just took the silver, and it is not enough.

Mingyue leaned against the door with the strength of wine, leaning on her body, leaning against the door wall, her two eyes staring at Shi Gui, thinking about the three words that she thought about in the morning, and laughing: "I told Xizi about it, and asked Xizi to visit Mrs. Wu, and the gift was given out, and I was given a lot of things." ”

Mingyue took Xizi into the city, found a place, gave Mrs. Liu's son a handful of money, asked him to go to the foot shop to eat two glasses of thin wine, and took Xizi to the door with a gift box.

He and Xizi both changed into clean clothes, and carried seven or eight things in their hands, Wu Qianhu had just moved back to Jinling City, and many people came to the door to give gifts, and the door took things to report inside, and called him in after a while.

Mrs. Wu still remembers Mingyue, but it is not Mingyue, she remembers Xizi, saying that he is a pitiful person, and when she heard that he was also coming, she asked the girl to send him two plates of dim sum and fruit to eat.

Mingyue had already told Wu Qianhu about Xizi finding her sister, saying that his sister asked him to bring Xizi to kowtow to Mrs. Wu, and gave a few gifts, and smiled: "The meticulous one is hers, and the thick one is mine." ”

When Mrs. Wu arrived at the front of the hall, she saw Xizi wearing a new set of clothes, with two needles and threads in them, and a well-written gift list, she was surprised: "His sister is a well-informed and thoughtful person." ”

Mingyue said: "His sister sold it as a girl, and she couldn't come to the door in person, so she entrusted me." ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she sighed softly, she had suffered, she knew the suffering, pulled Xizi to look left and right, and asked his sister which family she was working in: "The fate that fell from the sky." ”

When she knew that Shi Gui had suffered a locust plague and sold herself, with her parents, Mrs. Wu couldn't stand it anymore, pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, and shed a round of tears. ”

Mrs. Wu is more calculating than her husband, a girl can do such a ceremony, and she can also come with a gift list, that is either rich or expensive, and she dares to go to the door, and it should be a climbing relationship, and every handful in Jinling City is a high-ranking official, and when you ask to understand that it is the Song family, you can't speak.

Yiwen and Wuwu have never communicated, not to mention that Mrs. Song's official rank is so high, but there is no reason to ask for a girl to come to the door, Mrs. Wu frowned: "What is it for you to come forward, it is better to let him go." ”

Wu Qianhu was an official in the fiefdom of King Rui, and he faintly guessed something, and he didn't want to get involved in these things, the Song family taught this girl to read and write, and it was very useful, such a word, Mrs. Wu couldn't write it, and she didn't know if she could use it or not, let alone go to the door.

"Now that there is this fate, it is better to give him some silver, and find an excuse to say that he is from his hometown, I think that if he can write such a word, he is not a layman, and it is also a merit to let her sister and brother live in peace. Mrs. Wu thought of everything, but Mingyue didn't respond.

thanked Mrs. Wu for her kindness, and then said, "She will not will." "He didn't even want to take out the money, let alone the kindness he had received, and he couldn't repay it, so where could he take the thirty or fifty taels of silver.

Mingyue pushed it, but Mrs. Wu wanted to return the gift, took the wipe purse and said that the work was bright, and there were beads on it, presumably it was a good thing she could handle, and it was exquisite and cute, and even her daughter returned a gift, how could Mingyue accept it, Mrs. Wu smiled: "This is for her, you can't make decisions for her." ”

Mingyue just took it, and there were two old clothes for the girl of the Wu family in the return gift, which were worn by Shi Gui, saying that they were old clothes, and they were also very meticulous, Mingyue came out on his body, and he never thought about many old clothes on his body, but he felt that this dress could not be worn by her, and he could not take it back to the camp if he didn't give it to her, and gave it to her, could she really let her wear old clothes, even Mrs. Wu's was also old.

Wu Qianhu left Mingyue to eat wine, and asked him to dance the sword to see if he had improved these days, and once he danced in the garden, Wu Qianhu also sent someone to deliver wine, and he was a little drunk, and the dance was more exquisite.

Mrs. Wu watched upstairs, and when she saw people off, Mrs. Wu avoided pointing at her husband: "You are not allowed to fight that idea, you are too poor." ”

Wu Qianhu's face turned red, and his wife poked in his heart, he looked at Mingyue as a good offspring, but wanted to lift him up, but his wife saw through it, and persuaded her: "Don't bully the young man to be poor, I see that this kid has to be promoted, he just took a breath, and he didn't want to get married in three or four years, so he ...... at that time."

The previous son is gone, the daughter is almost at the age of saying kiss, just got a younger son, and it is still a long way from him being able to set up a household, Mingyue's background is very different from recruiting a son-in-law, he looks like a good person and is clever and willing to endure hardships, if his daughter can be a family affair with him, he is not afraid of being bullied by marriage.

"Let me mention him again, with this kindness, we seem to pick up a son for nothing, you look at the Wang family, I got my cousin as a son-in-law, but everything is smooth?"

Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand and poked his head: "Then how can it be like, do you mean that Rong Niang is almost different?" According to me, my cousin is a cousin who is lucky to get such a daughter-in-law, otherwise who will take care of him, and I don't know how to live under the hands of my stepmother." "The two ladies handed each other handkerchiefs, and there was no room for any debasement of one of them.

Wu Qianhu's own family also got married and divorced and got married again, and realized the truth after this matter: "The second girl in our family is not as sensible and polite as the big girl, it is appropriate to marry a scholar, you look at the second girl, she is really married to the Shili family, I am afraid that she will tear down the roof!"

Mrs. Wu only refused to let go, and when she knew that Wu Qianhu had called her daughter to look at it in the leaky window in the back garden, she was so angry that her face rose, and she smoked the rattan and pumped it, Wu Qianhu had thick skin, and told her to get used to whipping, so she dodged and avoided it: "Hey, I'll just say it, I'll talk about it after seeing it." ”

Mrs. Wu was in a hurry, but Mingyue also saw the second girl of the Wu family, her face was not clear, and she saw a big gold lock hanging on it, so she took the bag of clothes as a bag, pasted all the silver into it, and bought a big silver lock for Shi Gui.

The lock was exquisitely beaten, Shi Gui hesitated when he held it in his hand, since he didn't mean it, he couldn't accept his things, and the silver could still be said to be saved by her, for fear that it would be lost in the barracks, what was the matter.

Mingyue was very proud, he picked this thing for a while, and the new one had never been on the body, he refused to let go as soon as he took it, she was too plain, and this neck did not prevent her from doing work.

"You don't understand, how can I ask for it, how did this thing come from?" Shi Gui asked, Mingyue said it all, and there was nothing to hide from her, Mrs. Wu also gave a green yarn and a moon white satin, and he didn't move, and brought them all back.

While saying and inviting merit, Shi Gui was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to pat him: "You are really, the gauze and satin are the only ones, how can you take the clothes as a pawn, Ming'er quickly redeemed it, how can this thing fall out." ”

"It was old clothes. Mingyue was still Shi Gui, how could she be happy, but she didn't want to take a beat, her neck shrank, and she saw Shi Gui sigh: "Where is it for clothes, other girls' things, I was given a return gift from Mrs. Wu, how can you be it, how good is it to go out and let people know? You will have to redeem it Ming'er, I don't want this." ”

Saying that she was going to return the silver lock to him, Mingyue became angry, frowned, and looked at Shi Gui: "Are you unwilling to ask for it?" Shi Gui opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Mingyue stared at her with burning eyes, and had to wait for her to answer.

Shi Gui had no choice but to bow his head: "This, I can't ask for it." ”

"Then you can't ask for it now, or can't you want it in the future?" her voice fell, Mingyue asked directly, and didn't give her a chance to change her mind at all, Shi Gui was thinking about this time, how long it would be in the future, and what kind of future method, she hadn't been able to think about it carefully, Mingyue reached out and gave her the red purse: "If you figure it out, tell me again." ”

Saying that, he turned around and left, the moon shone on the way he came, and Mrs. Liu was still making a bowl of sobering soup for her son, the more he walked, the more he felt that his steps were heavy, and he peeked over, Shi Gui was still standing still in front of the door.

The moon pulled her figure into a long black shadow, nailed to the door and did not move, and Mingyue also stopped, the two shadows were long and short, looking at them from afar.
