Chapter 40: Asking for Trouble

"What's the matter with you?" Lu Lu was bored, playing with the jade bowl and silver chopsticks on the dining table.

Xia Wen smiled and said, "Some chicken skin trivial things. It's not worth the girl's trouble. ”

Lu Lu has a task for Xia Wen, telling her to walk around with other girls and ladies in the house, and sometimes she doesn't want to pay money to invite guests a few times, just to grasp the latest developments in the back house of the house as soon as possible.

Don't look at some rough mothers-in-law and girls with low status, but they are deaf and bright-eyed and love to get together to talk about right and wrong, which is equivalent to many mobile radio stations. As long as you have the heart to inquire, the heart to make friends and win over, and spread money, there is nothing that you can't inquire about.

"I'm in a hurry, let's hear it." Lu Lu is a gossip lover himself. It just so happened that there was no food to eat and I was bored.

Xia Wen briefly recounted what the little girl said.

"What? Xiao Huai? Lu Luteng stood up and ordered: "Go, see you." ”

Xia Wen was puzzled, but she obediently complied.

At the back door of the bamboo garden, the little girl looked at the coachman with a look of embarrassment, and spread her hands: "Uncle Zheng, it's unfortunate that you came." The girl was having breakfast, and no one would be seen. ”

"Girl, you're okay, and I'll tell you about it. If you go late, Xiao Huaike will die! "The person who came was the chauffeur in the house, that is, Xiaohuai's own uncle, surnamed Zheng.

Because the little girl is a slave in the house, although she works as an errand in the bamboo garden, she is getting older, so she naturally knows this taciturn coachman.

"Uncle Zheng, I really tried my best!" The little girl was very helpless.

She can only see Xia Wen, the girl's house can't be entered, she can't see her face, how can she speak.

"Uncle, please!" Zheng Chefu was loyal and honest, and he couldn't hide his impatience.

Xiao Huai is the only blood and blood of his Zheng family, and he came to him on purpose, if he goes on a business trip, let alone have no shame to see his ancestors and ancestors, and he can't explain to his brother and sister-in-law!

"Don't, don't, Uncle Zheng, don't do this." The little girl hurriedly said to the janitor next to her: "Good aunt, help me persuade me." ”

The janitor was already annoyed, and urged impatiently: "You have to say, go outside." Don't give me a. Let Wei's mother see it, I can't do this errand. The whole family can point to me for this little monthly silver to subsidize the family. ”

"Uncle Zheng, did you hear that? Are you leaving? I really can't help you with this. "The little girl is about to cry.

Coach Zheng's eyes were red, he wiped his face with his big hands, glanced at the back door of the bamboo garden, and then at the little girl who was in a hurry, and choked up: "Okay." Me, I...... Trouble girl, auntie. ”

He turned and walked slowly.

The janitor breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the door.

"Wait." Behind the corridor, Lu Lu, who was walking like a fly, followed by a group of girls.

The janitor and the little girl were startled and looked at each other: Could it be that they are here to ask for sin?

"What about people?" Lu Lu asked loudly.

"Girl, I'm ......" The little girl was clever, and immediately knelt down to turn herself in.

Lu Lu bypassed her and asked the janitor: "Where is the person who just came to the door?" ”

"Back to the girl, he, he's gone."

Lu Lu shook his head: "Xia Wen, go and intercept the person back." ”

Xia Wen pulled up the stunned little girl on the ground: "You come with me." ”

She doesn't recognize it, so it's better to intercept someone who knows it, otherwise, who knows which slave is the one who comes and goes on this road?

Sitting in the humble back door room, Lu Lu silently looked at the coachman surnamed Zheng in front of him.

The face is full of vicissitudes of wind and frost, the forehead lines are deeper, and the face is more bitter. I don't know if I think I'm in my forties. Also, it is normal for a driver to be exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and it is normal for the skin to age prematurely.

"Who told you to find me in Zhuyuan?" Lu Luping retreated from the idle people and others, leaving only Xia Wen and the rough girl.

Zheng Chefu saw the rumored eldest lady for the first time, he didn't dare to look at it, he lowered his head and rubbed his hands, and said angrily: "Back to the eldest lady, it was Xiaohuai who asked me to come over and beg the eldest lady." ”

"What about others?"

"Kept in the weed house in the stables."

"What did he do?" Lu Lu was secretly taken aback.

Coachman Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Xiaohuai, this kid is clever and sensible, and he has always been very well-behaved since he came to me half a year ago." ”

"Get down to business." Lu Lu was impatient.

Coachman Zheng glanced at the two girls, and whispered: "Last night, for some reason, the chief manager of Zhou Da ordered the stewards to find out that Shen Shi left the house without authorization. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with it. Because Xiao Huai is not a small guy who is registered in the house, he only fights in the stables and eats well. ”

"Wait, Xiao Huai hasn't entered the house register yet?" Lu Lu asked.

"Yes."

"So he doesn't have moonsilver?"

Zheng Chefu's face was sad, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, the old horse head originally promised to report and compete for the next month's registration, so that he could receive the monthly silver as soon as possible, and the family would be more comfortable, who ......knows."

The old horse's head is the little steward of the stables. He has human rights, but if he wants the little servant to receive the moon silver in the house, it is not up to him to be the master. It is necessary to report the name and register it in the register, so that the manager of the treasury can pay according to the person's hair.

Lu Lu knew this rule, so he didn't keep silent and motioned for him to continue.

"Originally, I didn't have anything to do. He watched the stewards on the side to inquire, but who knew that some people were talkative, pointing out that Xiao Huai had disappeared since Shen Shi was two moments, and he must have gone out of the house to fool around. So, the stewards inquired about Xiao Huai again, but Xiao Huai didn't admit it, only said that he had walked around the house and didn't go anywhere. ”

"Well, there are, too." Lu Lu nodded approvingly.

Xiao Huai was quite clever and didn't confess to her.

Coachman Zheng said with a sad face: "The old horse head doesn't believe it. Those who were verified also shouted that Xiao Huai was lying, and a few shouted to see Xiao Huai go to the inner house. ”

Lu Lu tugged at his heart, these damn bastards, why are their eyes so sharp?

"Later, the more noisy it became, the more disagreeable it became, and the old horse searched Xiaohuai's house, where did he know......" Zheng Chefu covered his face, twitched his shoulders a few times, and choked up: "A large bag of silver was found from the hole in the wall." This is broken, Xiao Huairen was stolen, and he was accused of being a thief and wanted to be sent to the government for punishment. ”

"Huh?" Lu Luteng stood up and asked, "Did you send it?" ”

"Due to the many events in the house, the chief stewards have no effort, and now they are detained in the utility room of the stable. I secretly went to see, the poor child was beaten and delirious, and pulled me to ask me to beg the eldest lady......" Speaking of this, Zheng Chefu's feelings were about to collapse.

Several thoughts quickly swirled in Lu Lu's mind.

Xiaohuai can't help but save it. It's not that she is so benevolent and kind, but once he is not strict and confesses her, she will have no place in Yicheng!

Now the question is how to get people? In person, it definitely won't work.

Roundabout rescue? Is it still too late?

"You said Xiao Huai was injured? Is it strict? Lu Lu pressed it and was anxious.

Coachman Zheng wiped his face and said in a low voice: "Since the big bag of silver was found, I asked the steward to hit the ten boards first, saying that his hands and feet were not clean." Xiao Huai refused to admit that it was stolen, but he couldn't tell the meaning of the silver, and the steward saw that he was stubborn, so he kept his strength in his hands, and only said that he would suffer his own sins after the official passed the court. ”

It turned out that the steward was going to be private, so just get out. However, Xiao Huai has always refused to admit that he is a thief, and repeatedly shouted that he was innocent, and the little stewards naturally couldn't send a dead person to the officials, so the board was quite light.

Lu Lu resolutely turned around and asked the little girl, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl was stunned, and suddenly heard the master's question, and hurriedly replied: "The slave maid is named Xiaoqing." ”

"Xia Wen, go find some bone-setting medicine and let Xiaoqing send it to Xiaohuai."

Xia Wen was shocked: "Girl, I can't help it! ”

It's too late for others to hide this kind of thing, why does the girl still come forward? Also send medicine? What is this for?

"If you are told to go, you will go. I have my own ideas. Lu Lu said to Zheng Chefu: "Don't worry, if you come to me, I will definitely not die without help." ”

"Thank you, Miss. also thanked the eldest lady for Xiao Huai. Zheng Chefu thanked him deeply.
