Chapter 85 Arrears
Lian'er originally wanted to tell the truth, but she didn't understand that she had arrived at King Ying's mansion. Suddenly, he was reluctant to leave, how strict the palace was, even if Chen Moyan had wings, he couldn't fly in. No one can pass on the news to her anymore, so why should she flee in the future?
When the prince returns, he will definitely find out the truth, and the crime of arson is so great. Presumably, Chen Moyan will not have a chance to turn over. As for the younger brother, if he can ask Xiao Jiuzhi for a good place to give him
Lian'er hides in the darkness, and her whole heart is immersed in the fantasy of a better future, and there is no longer fear and guilt. At the end of the day, she didn't do anything. Nothing.
After a long night, everyone in the hospital was preoccupied. When the day dawned, they all forced their faces to laugh, but the atmosphere was not as usual.
Xiao Yuzi went to the back kitchen to get breakfast, and as soon as she entered the door, she met Lian'er. She seemed to be a little different, her happy expression less melancholy than usual.
"Brother Yu, I'll help you get it!"
On weekdays, Xiao Yuzi helps him the most, although he knows that he is not a normal man, he is still grateful. My father was a rough man, he beat and scolded his mother all day long, and sometimes when he drank alcohol, he didn't care whether they were there or not, so he pressed his mother down. If his mother resists, he will beat and scold. At that time, she thought that she must find a gentle man to accompany her, even if it was a eunuch. As long as I really feel sorry for her.
Xiao Yuzi was stunned, and said indifferently: "No need" but looked at her resentfully, opened her mouth, and did not say anything. Pick up the food box and leave.
Lian'er missed half a beat in her heart but didn't dare to think about it, so she had to go to fetch water again, and Chunhua was lukewarm to her when she met her. I immediately felt bad. was frightened until Xiao Jiu got up, but she was no different. Just a little more nagging.
It even aroused her thoughts of not admitting it. At noon, Xiao Yuzi went out, and Lian'er followed and stopped in front of her, her eyes full of tears. "Brother Yu, I know you are suspicious of me, but I really don't know anything, just because I heard Sister Chunhua say something in the morning, so I especially want to go out for a walk. However, "
"But what?" looked at her eagerly. After the accident last night, he never dared to think about why it was such a coincidence, and why Lian'er stopped them from going back. Lian'er is different from Chunhua, she is always pitied, and she is more or less in love, so she naturally hopes that she has a good reason to believe in her and trust her!
"Yesterday I had a headache, only to find that I didn't clean it at all when I fried the vegetables, and I wanted to do it again, and I just got there, and the ghost sent it out, and I knew that the girl found out when I got off the chopsticks, and I didn't dare to say it. I had to fall!"
Xiao Yuzi gradually moved, and complained again: "Why did you stop it several times at night?" Lian'er pretended to be surprised, looked down and thought about it, and then twisted and said: "I just want to stay with you for a while!"
"Then why don't you just say it and always make excuses to make everyone suspicious?"
Lian'er pretended to turn around and get angry, stomped her foot and said, "What do you want me to say?"
Xiao Yuzi then understood, there was joy in her heart but she was helpless, she stepped forward, handed her shoulder and said: "It's me who is not good, I will explain to them, but Miss Ling doesn't know what she thinks, if she asks you, you must answer truthfully, it is not easy for us to meet such a master as subordinates, and we should not bear her no matter what." “
Lian'er's eyes widened, and she said very seriously: "Yes, from now on, I will definitely serve Miss Ling well, even if I go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely live up to her!"
Xiao Yuzi sneered. "Why be so serious!" Lian'er took his hand and said, "Then Brother Yu is not angry, right?" Xiao Yuzi was stunned for a moment, pulled out her hand and said helplessly: "Lian'er, Miss Ling is good, you will always find a good person." I'm going to get busy first. ”
Lian'er looked at his back in a panic and smiled faintly, confident in her heart. From now on, I will serve Miss Ling with you for the rest of my life.
There are no ready-made dishes in the kitchen, and no one is in the mood to cook. Lunch was still brought from the back kitchen, and there were few things, piled up on the table, and five people gathered around the round table, lamenting one after another.
Xiao Shunzi has always been steady, knocked on the table and said: "Didn't I say you don't want to do this? Although the shop doesn't have it, aren't we still alive? As long as people live, there is hope, right?" Miss Ling, everyone needs you the most at this time, if you collapse, a few of us don't even have the courage to be cheeky and lie in the palace. “
Xiao Jiu bit the chopsticks, stepped on the stool with one foot, and rolled his eyes. "Who said I collapsed, aren't you trying to figure out a way? I ask you how much money we have left?" After asking, he was afraid that Junko would also count the silver he had spared for him, so he added another sentence. "I'm talking about our store, and your private room doesn't count!"
Xiao Shunzi already knew that she had such a trick, and she was not reluctant to understand her, and put the account she made last night in front of her.
"In the past, the silver of the Moon Falling Flower Workshop was not collected, and at the end of the month, we should be given 400 taels, plus the 800 taels stored in the money village, and we still have 1,200 taels left. If you count the private money of a few of us, how can we have it?"
"I don't want you, is it useless to talk now?" Xiao Jiu scolded angrily waving his chopsticks, and Shunzi didn't dare to say any more. She bit her chopsticks again and thought for a while. "It is said that our business is good, why do we have so little silver on hand?"
Shunzi said: "The income is indeed a lot, but you have to use some of it to enter the medicinal materials." There are a lot of medicinal materials and donated money to the village for free rescue, plus "He has always been happy, but at this moment, he made her upset, and shouted directly: "What do you say!"
Junzi swallowed her saliva, raised her eyebrows helplessly, and said, "Plus the melons, fruits, vegetables, fish, shrimps, chickens and ducks you buy every day."
"How much does this cost?"
"And the last time we went to the White Camel Temple, you had to donate 200 taels, 200 taels to Hongjiazhuang to repair the road, 200 taels of Puzhuo Tea Garden deposit, and 50 taels of deposit to raise Caiyi Fang"
Xiao Jiu was so ashamed that she just wanted to get under the table, she really didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, but fortunately, the business was good, otherwise this medical hall would be destroyed by her if it was not burned. Annoyed and angry, he slapped the table with one palm and said, "I'll let you take care of the accounts! Why don't you stop me when I spend money I shouldn't spend?"
Chunhua raised his hand again and again and said: "After saying it, I'll listen to it next to me, and you won't listen to it when Junzi settles the accounts for you." With a wave of his hand, he ordered five sets of dresses. There is also the White Camel Temple, we all say that it is a lie, but you don't listen, Baba wrote an IOU to people, and the little monk only came to the store the next day to get the money. “
"Come on, don't you have your share of that clothes?" Xiao Jiu said negatively. He bowed his head and muttered. "This house burned down, and I don't know how much it will cost to pay it back. You have to think of a way to make money. “
Chunhua said softly: "Why don't you talk to the prince?"
Xiao Jiu waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it, we are now under the fence, how can we live comfortably on our own territory?" In the palace, you have to be careful everywhere, you and Xiao Yuzi still have to be on duty at night, and I don't want to cling to him." You all listen, don't say anything else, even if we ask for food, we have to pay back the money for this house!
"Mmmm, Miss Ling is right. Chunhua hurriedly applauded, and liked to see the girl's high morale. Others chimed in.
Xiao Jiu was interested, and he didn't want to eat, so he waved his big hand and said, "Let's go, let's go around the street and see if there is any small business." ”
Lian'er's face turned bloody. "Don't go, I just burned down the hospital last night, and I haven't found out the truth yet"
Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and thought about it and said: "Lian'er is right, this fire is coming at us, Miss Ling, you will be in the mansion first, Xiao Yuzi and I will go out to have a look, if there is any progress and then I want you to report, these days will be settled first,"
Xiao Jiuyi thought about it and said: "That's right, if you run into the owner of the house, or Aunt Niu is not comfortable, you can only hide first, if this happens, it is not appropriate to let you bear it." Now, when you go out, help me to call Gao Fu. “
"Okay, then we'll go first. ”
The time for the prince's reply to the letter arrived, and everything went well in Dongli, so he set off and returned immediately, and he could come back in only six or seven days. But I explained that Miss Ling couldn't let her mess around, thinking that she was easy to be impulsive.
This suddenly called himself over, and for some reason, he was completely prepared anyway, and went with an attendant. When they arrived, the three masters had no master, and no servants were like servants. Sit together and discuss something.
Hearing his movements, he suddenly jumped up and saluted. Xiao Jiu originally followed suit, seeing that his face was wrong, he hurriedly smiled: "You see I'm in a hurry, Gao Fu, I know that you have always loved me, don't worry about us today, they just came back from the hospital, they are all unruly, I also asked my aunt to learn, I must change,"
The last sentence made Gao Fu's face soothe. She was willing to ask Aunt Xi to study, indicating that she still had a heart for the prince, and denied that if she lost her appearance in front of others in the future, she would have to be borne by the prince.
So he said patiently: "Miss Ling said this, but it's a pain for the old man, but it's not wrong for people with heads and faces to learn some rules, you have a heart!"
Xiao Jiu smiled shyly, and hurriedly asked him to sit down, before pretending to be pitiful and said: "Gao Fu, this medical hall has been burned down, and the house is not mine, I have some problems with my accounts here, and this matter is extremely weird, and it is inconvenient to go out, can you think about it, what kind of work in the house is what we can do and can make money." ”
The senior executive was obviously stunned, and he pondered for a while before saying, "What does Miss Ling mean by this?"
Xiao Jiu sighed and said cheekily: "Even if I don't pay for that house now, I don't dare to go out, if there is any work in the house that I can do, I have to give me money!"
Chunhua looked at Gao Fu's unpredictable face on the side, and almost laughed. "This, this, since the medical hall was rented by you, the prince bought it. It's his inheritance, and it stands to reason that he won't let you compensate, so don't worry. Now the old man doesn't know what level to pay you silver, if you are short of money. Why don't you have a lot of money in this way, and the old man will go to the account office to mention it to you first?"
Xiao Jiu could barely control his expression. "What? the prince's industry!" Gao Fu was even more vigilant: "It's the prince's industry." ”
Fang Cai didn't think she was indifferent, but at the moment she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
