42. Egg custard
On a scorching summer night, knowing what he knew, he kept screaming, and there was a knock on the door of Lao Mu's house.
"Who?" Wang Meifeng came out of the hall and stood under the eaves of the building and shouted.
"It's me, Qiu Shuyuan, I'm here to find Concubine Mi."
Wang Meifeng glanced at the west chamber with the lights on, her face showed a meaningful smile, and the thief who came over smiled, "Hongyi, someone is looking for it, come out quickly." β
Concubine Mi slapped Mu Hongyi's face, broke out of his arms and covered his mouth and ran out of the house, Mu Hongyi wiped his mouth and went out of the house, bent down to pick up Concubine Mi's bath water and went out the door.
At the door, Qiu Shuyuan took an electric light to shine on Concubine Mi's face, and when she saw that her mouth was red and slightly swollen, she laughed, "What did you do?" β
Concubine Mi blocked the light, "Don't shine on me, my eyes are uncomfortable." β
Qiu Shuyuan removed the light and handed the bowl in her hand to Concubine Mi, "Here, egg custard, eat." β
"Huh? Are you so good? If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it, what's the matter. Concubine Mi smelled the smell, scooped a small amount with a spoon and put it in her mouth, "It's okay, it has a sesame fragrance." β
"It's okay and can't come and see you?" Qiu Shuyuan glanced at Concubine Mi, "I warn you, you can't do that if you are not married to him, let alone get pregnant before marriage, you are an intellectual, you need to be faced." β
", I want you to warn me." Concubine Mi stuffed the egg custard into Qiu Shuyuan's arms and was about to go back, but Qiu Shuyuan hurriedly grabbed her, "Hey, with a backer, my temper is also big, come back for me." The loudspeaker said that you are going to the brigade headquarters for a meeting tomorrow, did you hear it, what do you think, tell me. β
"Anyway, I didn't steal it, and I'm not afraid of meetings." Concubine Mi's eyes were a little cold, "Don't say that it's mine, even if it's not mine, I don't bother to steal it, I haven't seen anything good, whether this bracelet is lost or not has to be said." β
"Don't you just want to eat the egg custard I stewed for you, I'm stewing for you now, and I'm sprinkling sesame seeds on it, it's very fragrant, I can't bear to eat it myself, you hurry up and eat it, I'm going to take the bowl back after eating," Qiu Shuyuan stuffed the egg custard into Concubine Mi's hand again.
"Qiu Shuyuan, I find you a very special contradictory person."
"It's a person who is contradictory, people have many faces, I have this temper, we grew up together, you don't know me? Learn to be angry with me, right? Qiu Shuyuan glanced at Concubine Mi again, and said with a smile: "When I came, I quarreled with Du Lihong again and scolded her for crying." If you want me to say, Du Lihong's bracelet was not lost at all, do you remember, she wore that bracelet to the town post office before that, and she deliberately showed off to the two of us before leaving, did you pay attention to it after coming back, is her bracelet still on her wrist? β
"I don't have the time to look at her wrist, I'm afraid that after a few more glances, I want to take it and fall." Concubine Mi swallowed a mouthful of egg custard and snorted lightly.
"I want to throw her down too. You didn't comb your hair just after washing, it looked like a chicken coop. Qiu Shuyuan brushed Concubine Mi's hair with a finger band.
"It hurts, it hurts, you light." Concubine Mi dodged a little weakly, it was originally a bird's nest, and it was rubbed into a chicken nest by the bastard.
"It's such a big person, you can't take care of yourself in life like an idiot, fortunately, Mu Hongyi's fool accepted you, and I can be regarded as getting rid of your burden."
"You're an idiot, you're a fool."
"Yo, it's only been a few days since I was facing your fiancΓ©, what kind of ** soup did he pour you, even your brother Xu Cheng forgot about the back of his head, what did I say, you didn't love Xu Cheng for men and women in the first place, listen to me, I'm still a little accurate, although that Mu Hongyi looks cold, he still hurts you very much, look at your mouth is sore and swollen."
Concubine Mi was very embarrassed and angry, "You are shameless, what nonsense you say, don't say it." β
"Okay, okay, I'm shameless. Don't sleep if your hair doesn't dry. Qiu Shuyuan advised.
"Got it, long-winded." Concubine Mi suddenly realized something, and touched Qiu Shuyuan with a smile, "I haven't slept with you for two days, you can't miss me, right?" β
Qiu Shuyuan sighed, "I wish I would never see you." Besides, you're still arguing with me during the day, I miss you? Let's get down to business, we have no foundation in the countryside, and our background is not good, don't play with the princess's temper, you have to coax Mu Hongyi, at least you have to work hard to coax him tonight, he will be towards you tomorrow no matter what, do you know? β
"I know, I still need to say it, or I'll let him kiss? Hum. You will sue the wicked first, obviously you are looking for me. β
"Expose the past, expose the past, how we make trouble, it's a trivial matter, stealing is about your reputation, and your status in their old Mu family in the future, because we are not from a good background, if you don't have a backer, believe it or not, those bullshit village officials will put their hats on us regardless of right and wrong."
"I know, I know, why are you so verbose."
"Okay, you just have to know it." Qiu Shuyuan sneered, "Why do you think Du Lihong made this play?" β
"If the bracelet is really still in her own hand, she is afraid that I will marry Mu Hongyi, and I will get you a quota, in fact, she really thinks too much, how can I be so annoying to you." Concubine Mi bit the spoon incomprehensibly, "We obviously fought before." β
"Then you say, do you hate me a little more or hate her a little more."
"She." Concubine Mi gave an answer without hesitation.
"Isn't this over, besides, I also fought with Sai Jinhua for you, she is better than you."
Concubine Mi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then I know, now that things are getting bigger, there is going to be a meeting to discuss this matter, Mu Hongyi, who has made things up, can't help you if she wants to, she is a thousand times better than you working hard, she is cleaner than you, Sister Yuanyuan, you get ready, you lose." β
Qiu Shuyuan sneered, "Of course I know, she just used her tricks because she couldn't do me, despicable." β
"So what do you do? Let Brother Xu Cheng go back to the city with her? β
"She thinks beautifully, I ......" Qiu Shuyuan inadvertently looked up and saw a figure coming, and hurriedly took the electric light, "Who?" β
"Me. Who are you, what are you doing standing in front of my Brother Yi's house? Mu Hongjiang approached by the collar of Zhao Gouyu.
At this time, the half-closed door opened, and Mu Hongyi walked out, startling both Concubine Mi and Qiu Shuyuan.
"You're scared to death." Concubine Mi patted her little chest and glared at him.
"It's a weak heart." Mu Hongyi glanced at Concubine Mi lightly.
"Who has a weak heart, we didn't say anything bad about you. You're the villain, you're eavesdropping on us. "Concubine Mi is angry.
"Heh, I just happened to come out to take a look, you haven't been back for so long I thought you were taken away by a wolf."
"It's been a long time, just talk about it for a while." Concubine Mi looked at Qiu Shuyuan, and Qiu Shuyuan retreated behind Concubine Mi to smirk, "Branch Secretary, good evening, I'll talk to Concubine Mi about something trivial." β
Mu Hongyi ignored them and looked at Mu Hongjiang, "Come in with me." β
Concubine Mi and Qiu Shuyuan were a little weak-hearted, and he had the word "all", and they also followed in.
In the West Chamber, Zhao Gouyu knelt on the ground crying tears and snot all over his face, "I really didn't steal it, I don't know what the bracelet looks like." β
"And what are you running for?" Mu Hongjiang turned his head to look at Mu Hongyi, "Brother Yi, I saw that he had to run before I caught him." β
"Yuan Weimin wronged me, he had to let me hand over the gold bracelet, and his father's village director shouted in the loudspeaker that there would be a meeting tomorrow, I was afraid that Yuan Weimin would poke me out, even if I didn't steal it, I couldn't tell it with a hundred mouths, and I would be stupid if I didn't run. Brother Yi, I really didn't steal, you can go to my house to rummage, my poor family doesn't even come to settle down, or you can ask my grandmother, I, I'm lazy to eat, but I'm timid, except for others to eat, I really haven't stolen anything valuable when I'm so big, I just steal the chickens and ducks in the village to fight for tooth sacrifices, and I really don't dare to do anything else. β
"Brother Jiang, I beg you, you go to my house and tell my grandma that I'm fine, I'm afraid that she will come out to look for me, and I will get lost again in the middle of the night, Brother Yi, I beg you." Zhao Gouyu "bang bang bang" kowtowed to Mu Hongyi three times, and the tears flowed.
Concubine Mi was pitiful when she saw his beaten nose and swollen face, "Maybe he really didn't steal it." β
"But he let the snake go, and he can't spare him." Qiu Shuyuan said angrily.
"He didn't steal the bracelet." Mu Hongyi pondered for a moment and said.
Zhao Gou raised his eyes with joy, and tears fell down, "Brother Yi, do you believe me?" β
"You sleep with me tonight, and come with me to the brigade headquarters tomorrow. Hongjiang, you go to Zhao Gouyu's house and talk to his grandmother. β
"Okay Brother Yi, I'll go right away."
"It's been a hard night." patted Mu Hongjiang on the shoulder.
"Just believe him?" Qiu Shuyuan couldn't believe it.
"I think he's still filial, and besides, he didn't take it out when he was made up like that by Yuan Weimin, so it shouldn't have been stolen by him, although he has a face of stealing chickens and dogs. You wait. Concubine Mi took the bowl of egg custard to the kitchen, and after a while, she filled a bowl of potato stewed chicken and handed it to Qiu Shuyuan, "The rest of dinner, take it to breakfast tomorrow." β
"If you still have a conscience, then I'll go."
"Hongjiang, you send her."
"Okay, Brother Yi."
Zhao Gouyu lay on the ground and cried, "Thank you, thank you." β
