Chapter 11 [Bright Moon]
Qi Caicai rolled his eyes, walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, patted his chest and said, "The master is now a woman dressed as a man, how can you rest assured that you will run the shop Zhuangzi." And said: "Speaking of which, you also run two shops, how can you deduct Meng Meng in food?" But the East Palace forcibly kept my dowry? ”
"Not really." Qi Sheng shook his head and said with some feelings:
"After the girl's predecessor died, the bandit stone manager in the East Palace sent the girl's dowry back, and the next day Tian'er came to give the title deed of the shop Zhuangzi to the small one, how could it be that the money for food was missing." Sighing and saying:
"But the Qi Mansion has been impoverished by this change, and the small one took the initiative to send all the money of the shop Zhuangzi back to Shuofang to support the remaining old and weak women and children in the Qi Mansion, everyone suffered, and the little one did not experience that change in Beijing, and the only thing he could do was to accompany them to endure hardships. It's better to live poorly, and you won't be blinded by this lustful capital. ”
A palm slapped on the back of Qi Sheng's head, and Qi Caicai scolded Qi Shengdao:
"You are used to a scripture, and you have never thought about your mother and sister, I just said how you eat a restaurant and are so shabby that you only order a grass carp, it turns out that you think so long-term, it is good that you have this heart, and you should not be tied to cute food and clothing."
After speaking, he was silent for a long time, and then asked in a panicked manner: "Is my father and mother okay?" ”
Qi Sheng was stunned for a long time, and seeing Qi Caicai's eyes full of anticipation, Fang gritted his teeth and said:
"Madame, old man, all drove to the west...... When Mrs. Xian died, there was no silver left in the house that was confiscated, or Sister Jinhuan and several heartfelt servants worked together to buy a coffin to do the rituals, and the old man's bones were sent by the official family who said that they were infected with the epidemic and burned to ashes. ”
"It's ...... Did you really leave the child behind......" Qi Caicai collapsed on the table all of a sudden, even if he had known the bad news in his previous life, and then confirmed it, he was still heartbroken, holding his breath to prevent himself from crying.
"The grievances of the old lady should be re-found in the feng shui treasure place for burial. The things left by the girl's predecessor are all thoughts, and they can't be sold, and only the shop Zhuangzi is worth a few cents of gold and silver, and the small one has found a buyer, and is ready to wait for the price to be negotiated and handed over, so he will bring the girl's dowry and these silver coins back to Shuofang. But the sky has eyes, which can bring the girl back to life, and the Zhuangzi in this shop is all the girl's, so she will listen to the girl's hair. ”
Qi Caicai's chest was stuffy, and he slowed down and said calmly:
"In addition to the military books that my father gave me, and the clothes and purses that my mother sewed for me, the rest of the valuable things were sold, and the silver sold was sent back to Shuofang, and the gold ring and the remaining old and weak women and children in the house can also have a good year with this money."
Qi Sheng opened his mouth to say something, but Qi Caicai signaled that he didn't need to say more, and said:
"You are still taking care of the shop, you still take care of the shop, you keep half of the silver you get for Shuo Fang, I will definitely have my own Yulu in the future, my vision is not on these two shops, it is a relic of my predecessor, it can be used on the rest of the people in Qifu, I am happier than anyone else."
"The world is sinister, but the girl and the lady are kind and kind, but ......" Qi Sheng saw that Qi Caicai's face was getting darker and darker, and he no longer mentioned General Qi and Mrs. Qi, and said, "I don't know what the girl's identity is now?" ”
"I am now the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the official of the Shen family, pretending to be a man to participate in the Spring Festival, from now on you are my Shen Qinwei's little servant and manager, and you are only allowed to call my son in the future, can you remember?"
Qi Sheng was shocked that his master was about to embark on a dangerous road again, but he knew that the master must have a last resort, so he answered loudly and didn't ask more. But there are some things that Qi Sheng thinks about and thinks that he must explain, after all, it is more dangerous to become an official than to be in the inner courtyard of the palace.
"Girl, Shi Gongzi ran away at the funeral of his wife, and now it seems that he has returned to Shuofang, but if he comes to you in the future, his words cannot be trusted."
I don't understand why Qi Sheng suddenly talked about Shi Xizai, Qi Caicai was puzzled: "He ran away?" Did you do something wrong? ”
Plopped, Qi Sheng knelt in front of Qi Caicai, and said solemnly: "Girl, you saved the little mother, the small life is the Qi family, if the little one is sorry, the Qi family will hit five thunderbolts every day and will not die well, the small mouth is clumsy, I can't tell the reason, I just ask you to listen to the little one, Shi Gongzi is not a credible person." ”
Qi Sheng's eyes are pure, even if he has been working in the shopping mall in the capital for two years, he will not change that sincerity, if human nature will eventually become evil, Qi Caicai also believes that Qi Sheng is the kind of person who can stick to his heart, because from the beginning, the leftover who has nothing has lived a real life, and the end of the road has not changed the original intention, how can she doubt such a person?
Looking at the bright crescent moon in the sky, Qi Cai said with a smile: "Under the same bright moon, it is a different blue sky. "Little stone, what did you do to escape? Is it that the bright moon of Shuofang has not shone on you, and you have also been eaten away by the shadows?
The night is thin and cool, and it is difficult to sleep.
Finally got up at dawn, Qi Caicai just pushed open the window, and saw three thieves and rat-brained men standing in the courtyard, saying that they were thieves and didn't see their movements, so they stood in one place and looked around, saying that they were good people and who came to visit early in the morning, but the courtyard door was wide open, and they must have been let in.
Hurriedly closed the window again, Qi Caicai angrily called Pingting, but it was Huawu who came into the house with a basin of warm water, and said with a smile:
"Childe is awake, Mrs. Jiang invited Childe to the house to talk, and the three in the courtyard are here to pick you up."
Qi Caicai was so angry with this fool that he lost his temper, he took a handkerchief and wiped his face, and persuaded: "Huawu, next time there is this inexplicable person to look for you, don't you have the right to hear it?" Do you know if these three people are telling the truth, beware that Laizi came into the house and asked for your people to rob us of our money. ”
"Look at what Childe said, is Huawu such a stupid thing in your eyes! They took the token out and the slave maid put it in, and the courtyard door was always open, and Pingting was also guarding outside the door, so they couldn't run away if they didn't keep it. ”
Huawu put the copper pot down, his face was unhappy, and his cheeks were bulging.
Qi Caicai carefully cleaned his face and rinsed his mouth, Huawu still twisted his neck and did not say anything, Qi Caicai secretly laughed at this stubborn donkey, but he put his hands together and said to spare:
"There are a lot of adults in Huawu, don't care about my stinky temper in the morning, how can I be stupid to think of such a thoroughness, my Huawu is stupid at best."
I saw that the master was full of sincerity and reparation, and Huawu was so happy in her heart that she couldn't do it, but she still had a look of grievance on her face, and she waited to listen to it, but she knew that it was the master who was playing with her, so she suddenly stopped doing it.
"Okay, yes, the slave is stupid, stupid, stupid, son, you are smart, you can put on your own hair, and the slave and maid go to the kitchen to see if the chicken soup is stewed."
After saying that, Huawu took three steps and made two steps and jumped to the kitchen, regardless of Qi Caicai holding the bronze mirror and calling her desperately.
