14. Chapter 14
Jin Toad hadn't seen her adopted little white cat for several days.
Listening to people's private discussions, the little white cat will run to the stove house to steal food at night, and on the night of the second young master's illness, he happened to be hit by Ah Shan.
Jin Toad's heart was shocked when she heard it, her little white cat was indeed not very peaceful, and it was not impossible to follow the taste to run to the stove house to steal food, but it would definitely not be eaten night and night, after all, she had held the little white cat firmly in her arms for several nights, and the house thief who often ate the stove house could never be a cat!
However, Jin Toad knows Ah Shan's temper very well, she just wants to find a scapegoat, if she makes up her mind to rely on a cat, then her little white cat may be more auspicious.
"That'...... Is my cat ......" Jin Toad didn't dare to think further.
"No, it was a coincidence that night, Ah Shan called us up in the middle of the night to catch the cats, the two cats fled in all directions, and finally ran to the yard of the second young master, Ah Shan didn't dare to take people into it again."
The person who spoke was called Yun Qi, and he caught the cat with Ah Shan that day.
When Jin Toad heard this, Jin Toad subconsciously patted his chest.
"Later, didn't Dong Liang come back, and saw Ah Shan and them probing their brains at the gate of the second young master's courtyard, and before they had time to get angry, they found that the second young master had fainted, but fortunately they found it early...... In the end, those two cats and Ah Shan are still heroes. ”
Who was rewarded and treated, Jin Toad didn't care, she only cared where her cat went?
"Those two cats? It's gone, the second young master fainted to death at that time, everyone panicked, who still has the heart to care about those two cats, I guess I took advantage of the chaos to run away. Seeing that Jin Toad was still not giving up, Yun kindly reminded Jin Toad, "I advise you, don't ask about this cat anymore, everyone in the mansion is afraid to breathe because of the second young master's illness, and you still have the heart to find the cat, if you let the boss know, do you still want to stay in the Guogong Mansion, you also know the temper of the eldest princess, everything depends on the mood, and I don't want to reason with you." ”
Jin Toad suddenly realized, indeed, the second young master is on the line of life and death, and she only cares about her cat, which is indeed inappropriate, so she finally remembered to ask the second young master about the current situation.
"Then Second Young Master, is there any hope?"
The two whispered in the corner, Yun was also cautious, even in the night like ink, he refused to let down his vigilance, he looked around, to make sure that this was an occasion to talk well, and then said a word to Jin Toad mysteriously: "Hanging." ”
"Ahh Jin Toad's heart trembled, not that he had any strong feelings for this second young master who rarely showed up, the subordinates who did such miscellaneous work did not even have the qualifications to be the mud under the feet of the nobles, not to mention what impact the life and death of the nobles would have on them, people like them only cared about three meals and clothing, as long as they had a place to live, they would not sleep on the streets and freeze to death in the ice and snow, nothing mattered, as big as who would be the emperor Lao Tzu, as small as who would be in power in the Guogong Mansion, this would not hinder their lives, as long as the Guogong Mansion was still there, If their homes are not raided by the saints, they will be able to live in peace. However, Jin Toad suddenly remembered the young man's pale face, although she only glanced at it secretly, but the child's indifferent eyes impressed her, and at that time, she even had a feeling: In fact, they were all the same people.
The same loneliness, the same loneliness, the same lack of expectation for the future.
When people similar to themselves encounter difficulties, they are always prone to the sad feelings of rabbits and foxes, Jin Toad sighed.
Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw her look of pity, "It's rare, in addition to caring about your cat, you can also care about others." ”
What kind of temper is Jin Toad, all the servants in the stove house can see it through, as far as she is concerned, as long as she can't die, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if she deducts her wages, it doesn't matter if she is wronged, she is just a dough that can be kneaded by others, she is used to bearing a qiē, and she is not good at dealing with people, and she can talk so much to him like this, or to inquire about the cat.
Jin Toad said, "Don't curse the second young master. ”
Yun was happy, "No curse, I also want him to live, he is dead, the eldest princess can't cry to death, who doesn't know that the eldest princess loves him the most, the eldest princess is the master, the master is happy, let's have a better life, the master is not happy, we all have to tremble, of course I hope the master is in a good mood, I can't at that time, the second young master himself doesn't want to live, you see that he usually suffers like that." ”
Don't you live if you suffer from sin, Jin Toad almost stayed awake all night, and Yun Zhi's words kept echoing in her mind, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, she found someone to take leave.
Ah Shan's face tightened, "Something?" What can you do? Ah Shan is unaccompanied, and he works weekdays, and he has never asked her for leave, what are he going to do now, don't have a man, but these are not within the scope of Ah Shan's consideration, "I tell you, go out for a trip, deduct half a month's salary, and you can do it yourself." ”
Jin Toad's face was unfazed, "Oh, okay." ”
Turned around and went out the door, went back to the room, took a few copper plates from under the pillow, held them in his hands, and went out.
The clouds caught up, "Eh, why are you going?" ”
It's rare to see this woman go out.
Jin Chan thought that he and Yun had inquired about the affairs of the mansion for a long time last night, and it was really a working family, so he divided two of the four copper plates in his hand to Yun Yu, "I have no savings this month." The wages she saved were used to bribe the cook to give the little white cat a fish to eat, "I paid my salary this month, and I gave you a piece." ”
Yun thought to herself, this woman really didn't know what to think, and stuffed the two copper plates back into Jin Toad's hand, "Come on, how much do you have to pay this month?" He just heard that Ah Shan deducted Jin Toad's salary for half a month's salary before chasing it out, and he had to do anything to deduct half a month's salary, he was very curious, but now that he saw Jin Toad's face, he felt that for this woman, deducting a month's salary was not a big deal.
"Forget it, no matter what you do, you come back early, or with Ah Shan's temper, she will have to deduct your money if you come back late."
Jin Toad pursed his lips and said embarrassedly, "It shouldn't be too early to come back." ”
"Where are you going?"
Jin Toad said, "I want to go to Cishou Temple and pray for the second young master." ”
Yun was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he didn't know what to say.
In the end, Yun called a car for Jin Toad, he is usually responsible for buying ingredients, and knows a lot of people who pull goods, so it is easy to do this, "This donkey cart does not go out of the city, only for you to send to the city gate, you should be careful yourself." ”
Jin Toad thanked him a thousand times, and promised that he would have to pay Yun for his hard work.
Yun was quite helpless, beckoned to Jin Toad, and watched Jin Toad leave in a dirty donkey cart.
Although it was a simple donkey cart used to pull straw, it was faster than a person's footsteps, and before noon, Jin Toad left the city and arrived at Cishou Temple on the outskirts of the city.
She rarely walks around the house, and her eyes are straight ahead along the way, just caring about getting to her destination as soon as possible.
Cishou Temple is built on the mountainside, the golden toad is weak, climbed for a long time to reach the destination, wiped the sweat beads on the forehead, stepped into the Buddha hall, and knelt down in front of the three-meter-high golden Buddha in the middle.
She closed her eyes and folded her hands:
I wish the second young master safe and sound.
Second, may her little white cat be safe and sound.
Three Wishes......
She racked her brains, and couldn't think of what else she wanted.
But at this moment, I heard sobs in my ears.
Jin Toad inadvertently turned his head to take a look, turned around, and found that the woman next to him was a little familiar, and looked at it again.
That's not ......
"Miss Cousin?"
The woman looked over, with tears still hanging on her face, and looked at Jin Toad suspiciously.
Jin Toad turned around and gave the woman a solemn salute, "The old slave works in the British Mansion, and I have seen Miss Biao a few times......"
Speaking of the British Mansion, the woman's body shook, wiped the tears on her face in a panic, and stood up a little wolfly, turned her face away, sniffed, and pretended to be calm, "Well, I know, you can step down." ”
Jin Toad is not retreating, nor is it not retreating.
Before her marriage, she was a frequent visitor to the National Mansion.
She is the niece of the eldest princess of Pingning, and the daughter of the current Prince Gui, and her maiden name is a "Rong" character, so people in the Guogong Mansion are used to calling her "Miss Biao" or "Miss Rong".
Prince Gui did not have a son-in-law under his knees, and in the year when Meng Rong was eight years old, Prince Gui died of illness, and Princess Gui died half a year later because of excessive sadness, and Prince Gui's title was inherited by his concubine.
The eldest princess of Pingning loves this niece the most, for fear that Meng Rong will be wronged in the Gui Prince's Mansion, so she often takes Meng Rong over to live, Meng Rong grows up to thirteen years old, and the eldest princess also personally chooses a good family for Meng Rong, the other party is Luo Shaoqi, the eldest son of the Luo family, the first scholar in Jinling.
But who knows, a month after Meng Rong got married, Luo Shaoqi contracted a disease and died.
Since then, there have been rumors in your circle, saying that Meng Rong Kefu killed his parents when he was a child, and killed his husband when he grew up.
Rumors spread everywhere, even if the identity of the eldest princess couldn't be suppressed, the Locke family more or less heard some rumors, and also had some whispers about Meng Rong, but because of Meng Rong's identity, she didn't dare to make things difficult, but the eldest princess also understood in her heart that Meng Rong's life in the Locke family was also walking on thin ice, and she was disliked by her in-laws, so she still wanted to take Meng Rong away, but Meng Rong said that she refused to leave the Locke family, the eldest princess's temper, thinking that Meng Rong didn't know what to do, and the two parties had been estranged for half a year.
It stands to reason that when Meng Rong gave an order, Jin Chan categorically had no reason not to listen, but seeing Meng Rong's heartbroken look, Jin Chan felt that he really shouldn't leave.
What is it that makes Miss Rong so sad? Didn't you suffer trouble at your in-law's house?
