Volume 1 Chapter 15 The Girls Who Saved Themselves (Dragon Boat Festival Plus Update)
Gu Qiqi Niang fell asleep again after eating, Yuye and the others moved the kang table to the side, the five of them sat down and ate the remaining rice soup and porridge side dishes, Lily and Narcissus put away the tableware, put them back in the food box, and were about to get up and go out, but were pulled by Yuye:
"Today, Aunt Shen sent us the monthly money in our house. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Narcissus was stunned for a moment and said, "This is strange." Elsewhere I got it half a month earlier, only we haven't seen it here for a long time, and my sister made a lot of trouble in Aunt Cui's house last time. Besides, isn't Aunt Cui in charge of things here? How did Aunt Shen send it? Didn't Aunt Shen always deal with Aunt Cui? How can you help Aunt Cui run errands? ”
Yuye said: "You also think something is wrong?" ”
Narcissus looked at the lily and said, "What did my sister find?" ”
Yuye said: "It's not that I found anything, I just feel that something is faintly wrong, and I can't say what is wrong." ”
Narcissus said: "My sister came out of the wife's house, so I have experienced this kind of thing less, but what is wrong, my sister is just wondering." If you want me to say, this thing is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple. If we put it more complicatedly, we can't see what is behind this now, and we don't know what others have prepared for us in the back. So we can only wait. If you put it simply, it's easy. Open it up and look at it to see if there's anything wrong. If it is proper everywhere, then we will wait for the Egret sister or the second grandmother in the wife's house to come, and ask the second grandmother or the Egret sister to check it before sending the monthly money. If there's anything wrong......"
In the end, the Song family is Gu Hai's wife, even if Gu Hai is a little confused in many things, but on the bright side, Gu Hai still respects this cousin and wife. Not to mention that whenever the old lady mentions things when he was young, he will express his gratitude to the Song family, and the annual etiquette gifts given to the Song family every year are also the best.
Therefore, the days of Yuye and Jinpetal, who were once the second-class girls in the Song family's house and the guest girls, were naturally extremely easy, and those intrigues never had much to do with them.
Yuye and Jinban'er are very relaxed, but the daughters-in-law of the Song family are not so easy.
As the wife of Gu Xian, the eldest son of the Song family, Su is only over forty years old this year, but Su looks much older than his actual age, and he is about the same age as Gu Hai's concubine, An who is nearly fifty years old, and is not even as energetic as An.
Of course, this is because the An family is now an official eunuch family, and the An family is well maintained, but it is not because the Su family helps the Song family's housekeeper work hard.
It's like Aunt An's family, this woman never dared to choke directly with the Song family, in that case, if Gu Hai didn't speak, the old lady Gu Shan would also call her son over and scold him.
These concubines don't dare to find trouble with the Song family, but they can find something to turn the Su family around, and the Su family not only has to deal with all kinds of big and small things in the Gu family, but also has to deal with the chaotic relationship between the concubines, and also deal with the concubines of the father-in-law Gu Hai.
It's no wonder that Su, who is only in his early forties, looks older than An, who is nearly sixty years old.
As the master's grandmother, Su Shi is like this, and the girls in his house are naturally not relaxed. In the three years in Su's house, even if she has been a rough girl for two years and a little girl for a year, even if she is not qualified to serve in the house at all, but in the past three years, Narcissus has seen a lot of things.
Yuye saw that Narcissus said so seriously, and her heart was very bottomless, and when she saw Narcissus suddenly stopped, she couldn't help but ask:
"How?"
"Then I'll have to bother my sister to run it herself."
When Yuye heard this, she was stunned at first, and then fell silent.
He had understood what Narcissus meant. Narcissus asked him to run, I'm afraid it wasn't for him to run to find his wife Song, I was afraid that he would go back and tell the old lady Gu Shan, and only Gu Shan could suppress Gu Hai, and only Gu Hai didn't have this taboo, and he could overturn the confused decision made by Gu Hai, who was covered with his eyes and ears.
The four of them reached an agreement, even Little Lotus, even if she knew that these four sisters actually didn't look down on him, she was not a fool, and she knew that such a decision would only be good for her own girl.
Little Lotus lowered her head and remained silent.
Under such circumstances, the five girls came to the outer room together. Narcissus and Lily, who are second-class girls, took matters into their own hands and opened the box.
Two of the boxes were fine. The monthly expenses in Gu Qiqi Niang's house are thirty yuan per month, except for Gu Qiqi Niang's own six yuan a month, the monthly expenses of the girls and mothers-in-law below are twenty-four yuan a month. Ten copper coins weigh one or two, and twenty-four yuan is twenty-four thousand copper plates, which is one hundred and fifty catties, and it is no problem to divide them into two boxes.
These two boxes, Yuye and Jinhua'er looked at them roughly, and didn't count how many copper plates there were. After all, they didn't open the box for the copper coins.
The third box, that is, Gu Qiqiniang's share box, has no problem with the money inside. Strung together with thick hemp rope, the long six-guan coins were coiled like six snakes at the bottom of the chest, and two burdens were pressed on them. Obviously, this is Gu Qiqiniang's clothes this month.
When she saw these two burdens, Narcissus's heart jumped.
It's hard to understand what copper plates are, and at most it's just the wrong quantity. But it's too simple to use your hands and feet on this dress.
Narcissus's face sank, and the jade leaves and golden petals on the side sank from the bottom of their hearts.
When Narcissus took out the two burdens, Yuye and Jinpetal couldn't help but bow down.
"What's wrong with that?" Little Lotus still doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter.
Narcissus glanced at Little Lotus, lowered her head, and opened the package three times and five times.
Little Lotus said again: "Isn't it just clothes?" ”
Lily snorted and said, "Isn't it just clothes?" Little Lotus, you said it lightly. Our girl is guarding her father's filial piety, and it has only been seventy-six days since the seventh master is gone today! If people see that our girl is wearing clothes other than raw linen, you can wait to collect the body of our girl! ”
Yuye and Jinban'er were stunned for a moment, and said, "Won't it?" ”
Narcissus said: "What wouldn't? What are those people good for? They wish they had killed our girl, and by the way, they would be angry with our grandmother, so that they could be put on the throne! Our big man-kun, hum! As he spoke, he reached out and touched the baggage, and said, "Sure enough." ”
In the surprised gaze of Jade Leaf and Golden Petal, Narcissus threw the two burdens to the ground. The burden was not tied very tightly, and the clothes inside immediately leaked out.
Sure enough, it's not raw hemp.
Yuye stood up and said, "I'll go back to the master." ”
"Wait." Narcissus said, "Sister Yuye, it's better to open this burden and spread out the clothes to take a good look." When I got to the grandfather, my sister also had something to say. ”
Tamaba nodded and sat down again.
After Narcissus and Lily opened the first baggage, Little Lotus shouted: "This, this is not the size of our girl!" ”
"Shut up!" Narcissus whispered, "You want everyone to know, don't you?" You want those people to reach that person's ears so that they can calculate our girls more conveniently, don't you? ”
Little Lotus immediately covered her mouth.
Jin Ban'er said: "But what Little Lotus said is not wrong. Indeed, this garment is not fit for our girl's stature. ”
Yuye said: "Just open that burden too." ”
Narcissus and Lily hurriedly moved.
The second dress was spread out and rested on top of the previous one, and Yuye finally reacted: "These two clothes are not for our girls at all, looking at this size, they are similar to the seventy-one girl and the seventy-five girls, it should be the two daughters that Aunt Cui used to pit Aunt Shen, but they were transferred to our girls by Aunt Shen......"
Narcissus said: "No matter what the clothes are, the master's temperament, we didn't know before, don't we understand it now?" Or does my sister think that Aunt Ann will be able to tolerate our arguments? No matter whose size this dress is made of, as long as he shows up in our girl's house, that Aunt Ann will be able to kill our girl! “
"Wouldn't it? Our grandmother is my aunt's niece! Our girl is the granddaughter of her aunt's niece and daughter-in-law! ”
Narcissus said, "That one once treated our girl as a granddaughter!" ”
Narcissus actually wants to say that that aunt An Shi is afraid that Gu Qiqiniang has long regarded Gu Qiqi Niang as an enemy!
After a moment of silence, Yuye stood up and said, "I'll go back to the grandfather, Jin Ban'er, you go back to the wife, Narcissus and Lily, you clean up this place and go back to the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother." Be fast. Little Lotus, you have no problem guarding the girl, right? ”
Little Lotus nodded heavily and said, "Sister, don't worry, even if you lose my life, I will also protect the girl well." ”
