Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pride
"They saw that the owner of the coffin shop had been arrested, and the official sent a gold ingot in their house; The coffin shopkeeper's face was covered with blood, in order to refuse to let go of the gold ingot. The idle beard was so frightened that he didn't know where to hide, and it is said that Li Zhutou also suffered......"
Listening to what Aunt Wu said, Xie Xiang couldn't help but blush, it turned out that Aunt Wu was not bluffing.
Otherwise, she would not have been so complete.
It seems that the hateful corrupt official really became angry with everyone because he couldn't catch Xia Xueyi, who teased him.
"No, I'll have to check it out."
The haze on Xia Xueyi's face became heavier and heavier, and it was frightening to watch.
"I'll be with you."
Xie Xiang is still afraid that Xia Xueyi will go on a killing spree, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he can't avoid it, and it is better to follow him.
"I'm going too!"
Ai Ye ran faster than Xie Xiang.
"Okay, I'll go and see it too, old lady!"
Aunt Wu said weakly in her heart.
In fact, she really wanted Bawang Xiaolangjun to hear the news of this chaos and would obediently stop in her back house for a few days; Aunt Wu felt that Xia Xueyi, who was cold by nature, must not like to cause so much trouble.
This self-righteous Aunt Wu didn't expect that even though He Hongyao was still in Luofang Courtyard, Xia Xueyi was actually ready to say goodbye.
……
As soon as he walked into the side door of the Li Mansion, Chen Gang saw Xiao Zhen waiting there with an anxious face.
"Lao Chen, where did you go? My wife called you. ”
Chen Gang nodded: "I went out just now, isn't my wife a little uncomfortable today?" I thought I wouldn't be able to call it, but I bothered the girl. ”
Xiao Zhen's face seemed to be resentful, and she said with a sneer: "It's okay for me, but sooner or later, I will be a girl who will be driven away by the second wife, and I can't compare to others who can say and do, Lao Chen, you have to be careful when you get to your wife in a while...... Hmph, you will break your arms more often before you know what it means to climb high and fall hard! ”
Chen Gang knew that Xiao Zhen must have been angry with Xiao Zhu's girl again; Xiaozhu Lingli is indeed first-class, but she is too sharp and mean, except for her wife, everyone is really going to be stepped on by her, as if she will be uncomfortable all day long.
But the third lady had special blue eyes, and in a trance said that she had offended her wife for something, and she ran back without blinking, but she was even more favored in front of her wife.
Chen Gang thought that it might be that the third lady felt that others were eager to leave her quickly, but it was Xiaozhu who obviously got out and ran back desperately, so she saw her different from others even more.
He knew that Xiaozhu had been looking at him uncomfortable, and he just glared at him when he had nothing to do, and he liked to chew the root of his tongue in front of the third lady from time to time.
Chen Gang never took these things to heart, Xiaozhu was jealous, she didn't understand why the third lady valued him, a taciturn and idle slave all day long, and because Chen Gang was by his side, Xiaozhu didn't know why he always had some scruples every time he was a blessing.
She seemed to be very afraid of Chen Gang's quiet appearance, as if she could see through anyone at a glance.
"When is this all right, and I won't say this kind of thing in the future."
Chen Gang sighed as he hurriedly walked forward, and said to Xiao Zhen as calmly as possible.
He knew that Xiao Zhen was actually a girl with a more practical heart, but in front of the master, such a person is often more at a loss.
"I just can't get angry...... There are only two of us left in the wife's room, and we have to bully people! ”
Xiao Zhen's eyes were a little red, and she muttered aggrievedly.
Chen Gang stopped: "Otherwise, if I tell my wife, I will just let you out, you are not a small boss......"
Xiao Zhen was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down for Chen Gang: "Old Chen, I'm just angry, talk nonsense, you must not say this to your wife, if your wife knows, I really have no way to live." ”
Chen Gang shook his head and said to Xiao Zhen: "You get up, how can it be so serious?" You are a girl bought by your wife with her own money, as long as your wife says to let you go, no one can control it, don't worry, I will go and tell my wife in person, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Xiao Zhen heard Chen Gang say this, not only did she not get up, but kowtowed like garlic and cried bitterly, and begged repeatedly: "I damn it, I was wrong, I was ignorant, Lao Chen, please raise your noble hand and let me go, I will never dare to chew my tongue indiscriminately next time." ”
Chen Gang was very surprised by Xiao Zhen, and he was afraid that someone would come to see him, so he hurriedly went to pull Xiao Zhen and said, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, be seen carefully, I didn't mean to blame you when I said this, let alone hurt you, don't worry, I still have this idea of thin noodles. ”
Xiao Zhen didn't dare to get up, and shook her head desperately: "I don't want to go to Luofang Courtyard, I don't have Xiaozhu's ability, I was sent away and ran back, please, Lao Chen, please don't go to my wife and say, I don't want to go anywhere......"
"What? Rakho-in? ”
Chen Gang couldn't help frowning, and looked at Xiao Zhen with a frightened expression in surprise.
"The people around my wife who were kicked out were all sold to Luofang Courtyard."
Jane whimpered almost tremblingly.
"Wouldn't it? How could this be? I didn't even know ......."
Chen Gang muttered to himself almost in shock.
He hurriedly said to Xiao Zhen: "Xiao Zhen, if you don't want to go out, I won't say it, you get up quickly, don't let people see it." ”
Xiao Zhen suddenly received amnesty, and quickly lay on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Gang: "I won't dare to talk nonsense next time......"
After saying that, he quickly got up.
Chen Gang waved his hand, sighed, and said to himself: "It seems that I am a dead man now, and I don't know as much as you girl." ”
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back, ignoring Xiao Zhen, who was still a little frightened on his face, and walked towards the inner house by himself.
Seeing Chen Gang, a trace of disdain appeared on Xiaozhu's pointed face.
"Ma'am, he's coming."
Despite the disdain on his face, the voice of the report to the Wu family was soft and pleasant, even with a smile.
"Well, tell him in."
Wu's voice was a little lazy, as if he had just gotten up from sleep.
Chen Gang subconsciously looked at the shoes on his feet, and stepped on a lot of dirt on his shoes just now to carry the spirit out of the city, so he should go back and change into a pair of clean shoes first.
It seems that every time he arrives at the door of the third lady, Chen just felt that he was not dressed well.
Xiaozhu was staring at him with a sneering look, and that expression was clearly gloating.
Mrs. is just a few days in front of him, look at his unbearable look, this foot full of dirt, where are you going to build a thatched hut to farm?
Chen Gang rubbed the dirt on his shoes a few times at the door of Wu's room as usual before slowly walking in.
"Out?"
Without waiting for Chen Gang to kneel down and kowtow, Wu asked casually, "Don't kowtow, come in." ”
Chen Gang hurriedly dusted off his sleeves and gave Wu a bow: "Thank you, Third Lady." ”
Wu hadn't freshened up yet, his cloud-like hair was casually rolled into a bun, and the rest was draped over his shoulders.
Chen Gang suddenly remembered when she was a girl, with her long black hair on her head, sitting under the laurel tree in their small house, or reading a book alone, or embroidering stitch by stitch in the company of a nurse.
Miss's favorite embroidery is lotus, a stitch and a thread, green leaves and pink lotus, so that people look at the heart of tenderness.
This thought made Chen Gang feel a sudden sense of guilt in his heart, and he quickly closed his eyes vigorously, trying to get rid of those pictures.
As a servant, there should be no such thoughts that borderline blasphemy and offend the young lady.
Over the years, Chen Gang asked himself, he controlled it very well and did it almost perfectly, what happened today? It must be because I thought too much along the way, and I was stimulated by Xiao Zhen.
In front of Wu was a small wooden box.
Seeing the familiar little wooden box, Chen Gang's heart suddenly felt like a needle had been pricked.
What are you doing with this now, Miss?
No wonder, he could almost see a curious, almost greedy secret look in Xiao Zhu's eyes.
The things left by the old man back then, but this small wooden box Chen Gang never touched.
It was the only thing that the old man left for him, and as a servant, no matter how curious he felt in his heart, how precious and secret the things in it were, he should not peep into it.
Being able to have good self-discipline is something that the Chen brothers are proud of.
Indeed, it was precisely for this reason that he was entrusted by the old man back then.
"Xiaozhu, you go outside and watch it."
Wu Shi did not want to leave Xiao Zhu who was standing outside.
There is no need to guess, Wu also knew that Xiaozhu's face was full of reluctance, and this thought made Wu's face suddenly show a sneer.
This girl knows too many things about her, and she is very ambitious, and she can't stay for long.
However, for the time being, she can only be appointed to run errands by her side, although Xiao Zhen is loyal, but it is too useless.
Chen Gang was used to the fact that Wu's face would always show some kind of sneer suddenly, so he could only watch helplessly.
Listening to the footsteps of Xiaozhu walking out, Wu said to Chen Gang slowly: "I wanted to sleep well for a while, but ...... But he couldn't sleep. ”
Chen Gang stood in front of Wu with his hands down and sighed: "Hey, Miss, you are overthinking and have already hurt your body." ”
A touch of sadness appeared on Wu's white and flawless face, and a pair of beautiful eyes were hollow.
"I'm not my own anymore...... What else is there to talk about the body and not the body. ”
Chen Gang didn't dare to pick her up.
The young lady is getting more and more inscrutable now, especially when talking to him. Chen Gang almost didn't know what she would say next after saying the last sentence?
So, it's better to keep talking and wait until you understand her true intentions.
Sure enough, Wu suddenly turned his face and stared at Chen Gang: "There is a sentence, I have always wanted to ask you ......"
Chen Gang's heart suddenly beat a little, but his face was very surprised: "Miss, what do you want to ask?" ”
