Chapter Ninety-Three: And the Rites
As expected, it didn't take long for the pomegranate flowers in Mrs. Cui's courtyard to come, and she also brought two rough envoys, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly, "Give me a good look, no one is allowed to steal anything in our house in this courtyard!" ”
She used the word "steal" as if all the people who lived in this courtyard were thieves.
Jinxin was at the door, and when he heard this, he just smiled.
Grandmother and second aunt are so impatient?
Sending someone like Pomegranate Blossom is it here to fall into the well?
As soon as the pomegranate flower entered the courtyard, she shouted and ordered the two rough mothers-in-law to look around, obviously Luo Jinxin was standing at the door, but she pretended not to see.
When she arrived at the door of the hall, she seemed to find Luo Jinxin standing there, and she covered her mouth pretendedly, "The girl is here?" ”
"Well, watch the girl pack up." Jin Xin said unhappily, not angry at all.
With such a person, it's not worth getting angry, and you're so angry that your body is uncomfortable!
"Pack up?" Pomegranate Hua was taken aback, and thought about coming to give Luo Jinxin a dismount, but she didn't expect her to do it.
Looking at the pomegranate flower's surprised appearance that was not pretentious at all, Luo Jinxin smiled and nodded at Zizhi and Xue Ling, who were busy in the house, "It's all there, do you want to go over and watch?" ”
Fang just shouted like a thief, and now Zizhi and Xue Ling are stuffing clothes into their baggage, and the pomegranate flowers are still red-eyed?
She was kind enough to give her a wake-up call.
Pomegranate is really a master who doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin, and when she heard Jinxin's words, she squeezed in from Jinxin's side happily, "The girl said so, and the slave had to go in and take a look." This is what the old lady ordered, in case someone who doesn't take the things of the Guogong Mansion with a long eye, wouldn't it be unsightly? ”
This is obviously treating the master and servant of Jinxin as a thief.
Zizhi and Xue Ling's faces changed when they heard this, but because the girl had instructed them in advance, the two of them had to swallow their anger and let the pomegranate blossom open their wrapped baggage again, and pick them up one by one.
It's nothing more than a few half-new clothes that have been changed.
Jinxin didn't touch the things of the Anguo Mansion at all.
It's just that the pomegranate flower is still the bone in the egg. took out a few taels of scattered silver from the baggage and shook it in front of Zizhi, "Sister, what is this?" ”
Zizhi was so angry that she was about to grab it, and her mouth roared. "That's the girl's monthly silver, can't you let us take it away?"
"Who knows if you obeyed the Guogong Mansion?" The pomegranate flower refused to return it, and now that she seized this opportunity, she naturally came as she wanted.
She wished she had humiliated Luo Jinxin's master and servant to the point that she couldn't do it all.
The last time she was here, she just wasn't very respectful. was given a faceless face by Luo Jinxin's slut, did she really regard herself as the master of Anguo Mansion?
Thinking that she is a first-class girl next to the old lady, who in this house does not look at her highly, and even humiliates such a halfway person.
This breath, she was about to hold it back.
"Zizhi, leave the silver, let's go!" Jinxin was impatient to look at the villain's powerful face, she instructed Zizhi and Xue Ling to lift the two of them with only a few half-worn clothes, and walked out without a little hesitation.
The pomegranate flower clutched the few grains of silver in her hand. Looking at the backs of the three masters and servants who were fading away, he spat hatefully, "Virtue, what's the big deal?" Then I'll wait to see you crawl back and kneel and beg the old lady. ”
She thought that Jinxin had gone out and had no silver at hand, so she must have had a bad time.
It's just an orphan girl, who can't last a few days without food or drink outside.
If you can't survive it in a few days, you will come back and beg Mrs. Cui, when the time comes. Cui Lao Taijun asked her to marry whoever she wanted, she had to marry whomever she wanted.
Pomegranate flowers, including Cui Lao Taijun and the Lu family, don't know that in fact, Jinxin has long wanted to leave this nest fighting home.
Over here. No more affection, no more warmth.
Even the most basic respect is gone.
If she stays any longer, she will be like in her previous life, she will be ruined by the Lu family, and she will have to bury the dead. will also be completely bored by Mrs. Cui.
Instead of that, she might as well go out and have a good time.
In this life, she doesn't want to be rich and rich, she just wants to watch the enemy lose as soon as she is defeated.
On the second door, a simple car was waiting there.
There were already two mothers-in-law waiting with a tiger's eye, and when they saw the three masters and servants of Jinxin appear, the eyes of the two mothers-in-law were full of disdain.
Jinxin didn't want to be angry with these people, so she just looked at Zizhi and Xue Ling and said, "You guys are waiting for me here now, and I'll go kowtow to the old lady." ”
This time, she will definitely not come back.
No matter how Mrs. Cui treats her, she is her grandmother after all, and her blood is thicker than water.
When we met again, I don't know when, but she still wanted to say goodbye to her grandmother.
But when the two mothers-in-law heard this, their mouths pursed disdainfully, "According to my advice, the girl should save it." Last night, the old lady was angry, and she was lying down and asked the doctor to come to check the pulse. The girl went, wouldn't it make the old lady even worse? ”
It seems that my grandmother is still angry.
Jinxin didn't want to be angry with her, but nothing her grandmother wanted her to do was something that made her not feel humiliated, and she was helpless.
Sighing, she looked at the place where Mrs. Cui lived, and said secretly: "Grandmother, I'm leaving, take care." ”
turned around and took Zizhi and Xueling into the car.
The Anguo Mansion still cared about her face, at least it didn't drive her out directly, and sent a small carriage.
Jinxin was still grateful to the Anguo Mansion in the end.
But the gratitude didn't last long.
The two small carriages left the gate of the Anguo Mansion and hurried to a remote path.
Jinxin has been out a few times and knows that the downtown is not going to this place.
She hurriedly asked the mother-in-law who was in the car, "Where is this?" ”
When the two mothers-in-law saw her asking, they didn't hide it from her, "Girl, the old lady thinks you are embarrassed to show up, so let's send you to the Cuishan Nunnery outside the city." The girl is there to accompany the ancient Buddha with the green lantern. ”
It turns out that Mrs. Cui is planning to do this?
Luo Jinxin smiled, and the last remaining idea disappeared without a trace.
Did her grandmother want to throw her into a nunnery and die?
What kind of profligate appearance is the sister-in-law of Cuishan Nunnery, Jinxin remembers it clearly.
That's not it, Daogu is just a prostitute in monk's clothes, who is in charge of Cuishan Nunnery on the surface, but in fact, she is doing some work as an old bustard in Qinglou behind her back.
Otherwise, last time she was in Cuishan Nunnery. will not be bought by the Lu family, and the brother-in-law of Shuntian Mansion Yin almost ruined his reputation.
It's a den of tigers and wolves.
My grandmother was going to throw her somewhere like that. Is it to make her want to live and not to die?
After sneering twice, she suddenly raised the curtain of the car and shouted, "Stop." I'm coming down. ”
The two mothers-in-law were startled, knowing that this girl was not an honest person, but they didn't expect that before they arrived at the place, she would get off halfway, so how could they explain when they went back?
"No, I can't. What the old lady ordered, send people to it! They said in a very tough tone, not taking Jinxin as a daughter at all.
"Hmph, you say no, you just can't? Sue you, I'm not a member of the family, if you send me over, believe it or not, I'll go to the government to sue you? ”
Jinxin will not be afraid of these two mothers-in-law.
Someone who has died once, who else will she be afraid of?
"The girl just wants to sue, and she will wait until she arrives at Cuishan Nunnery!" The two mothers-in-law were assigned by the old lady, so they were naturally not afraid.
But Jinxin has tricks. "Don't let me down, don't you? If you don't let it go, believe it or not, I'll jump right now, and I'll leave you with no money! ”
There are only two mothers-in-law with the car, although there is a coachman, who is also old. If you deal with these three little girls, you really can't be sure that something will happen.
Before leaving, the old lady also spoke, sent the girl to Cuishan Nunnery, sharpened her temperament, and waited for the time to pick her up. And it's useful.
It's really going to force people to be urgent, and they can't afford to take their lives.
The two mothers-in-law couldn't help but look at each other and muttered a few words in a low voice. softened, "Girl, if you have something to say, let the car stop, don't do anything stupid!" ”
The car came to a steady stop around a corner, and Jin Xin identified the next direction. Fang let Zizhi and Xue Ling get out of the car first, and she was the last one to get down slowly.
Standing in front of the two mothers-in-law, she glanced contemptuously in the direction of the Anguo Mansion, and said coldly, "You go back and tell your grandmother, I have repaid her old man for her kindness in the past two years." I don't want any other industries under the name of our Luo family, and I ask her to run it well, but don't fight my idea in the future. ”
The two mothers-in-law watched in amazement as the three master and servant of Jinxin picked up the package and turned around and walked in the other direction.
The sun was shining overhead, but Jinxin felt that his body was cold.
Zizhi glanced at Jinxin, who was a little pale, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Girl, where are we going first?" ”
Jin Xin spit out a few words unhurriedly, "Luo Ji Grain Shop." ”
There, settle down for a few days.
When the time comes, when she earns some more money, she will go to buy a suitable yard, and from then on, she will start to practice medicine and sit in the world.
The three girls are all delicate and frail, although the Luo Ji grain shop is in the capital, but to pass through most of the city, this way, several people are tired and out of breath, look at the sun shadow when the west slope, only to Luo Ji grain shop.
On the way, Jinxin took out a little bit of broken silver from his sleeve and bought some food and drink with him, so that the three of them would not faint on the street hungry.
Of course, all this silver she had obtained from Luo Ji silk shop before, and it didn't cost a penny of Anguo Mansion.
Old Uncle Song was very surprised to see the three girls enter the Luo Ji grain shop with scorched faces.
However, he was a sincere person, so he hurriedly welcomed the three Jinxin in, and asked a young man to go out to fetch hot water and freshen up the three of them.
After Jinxin drank water and ate, he said respectfully through the curtain, "Girl, live here with peace of mind, I will definitely do my best to do what you explain." The boy who just fetched water is my eldest son, and if the girl sends anything in the future, let him do it for the girl. ”
"Okay, there's Uncle Song." Jinxin was polite, and then ordered, "I'm tired, I'll sleep first, and I'll look for you later." ”
Old Uncle Song cleaned up the two vacant houses in the backyard of the grain store and came out, because Jinxin and the others came in a hurry, and they didn't prepare a bed in advance, so they had to stay overnight first.
When I woke up the next day, my body was still sore.
But she didn't have time to rest, so she picked up a pen and wrote on the paper.
She had just left the Anguo Mansion. There is no fixed place to practice medicine, and it is not so easy to make money. She wanted to make a few skin balms to try first.
I remember that when I used to read medical books, I saw a lot of skin care secrets.
In her previous life, she also tried to make things with flower petals and other things in the Anguo Mansion. Just a few days ago, the rouge she made was also very useful.
She felt that if she took these things out and sold them, the ladies and ladies of those high-ranking and noble families. Maybe you like it.
When the time comes, when the market is good, won't the silver come?
What's more, it's the height of summer, and things like petals don't cost a lot of silver. When the time comes, she will take Zizhi and Xueling to earn money in the nearby mountains, and maybe she won't have to spend a tael of silver.
After writing it, she called Uncle Song's eldest son over.
Yesterday, Uncle Song sued her. His eldest son's name is Song Fan.
So Jin Xin instructed through the curtain, "Afan, you go to the street and buy all these things I wrote, this is silver, if you can't make it, you can keep it and buy snacks to eat at that time." ”
That Song Fan is an honest child, although he is seventeen or eighteen years old, but it is the first time he hears such a little girl talking in the voice of Yingshengyan, he can't help but be a little shy. Hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's right to run errands for the girl, but I don't dare to accept the silver!" ”
Jinxin didn't say anything, so she asked Zizhi to take a purse and give it to him.
He took the order and the purse. After bowing, he went out.
When he arrived at the front, he saw his father, and the boy wondered, "The girl should buy some bedding, why do she have to buy so many flowers?" ”
Old Uncle Song was furious at him, "Just do what the girl tells you." What so much nonsense? Girl's family, don't you just like a flower pink? It must have been used to make sachets. ”
Song Fan thought about it.
It's just that three girls' families can use so many flowers?
Not to mention that he wondered about going to the street to purchase, let's just talk about the Anguo Mansion, at this time, the whole pot has already exploded.
It turned out that in two days it would be Duanyang.
Lu got up early in the morning and went to Mrs. Cui's house to discuss with her mother-in-law how to spend this festival.
Driving away Jinxin, she is particularly refreshed today.
In fact, it was her idea to send Jinxin to Cuishan Nunnery.
The old lady didn't know what it was, but she knew it clearly. At that time, as long as she can't give some silver and ruin the innocence of the little slut, even if the old lady has the heart to take her back, it will be useless.
In this house, only her daughter is worthy of marrying those high-ranking families.
Luo Jinxin's little slut, let's rest.
It's just that the mother-in-law replied that the little slut got out of the car and ran away halfway, which made her not very happy.
But then An Qing comforted her and ran away, she was a helpless orphan girl like her, and she didn't have any money on her, how many days could she be outside?
Perhaps, in the end, they will have to come back and beg their mother and daughter for food.
When the time comes, won't it be up to their mother and daughter to rub and pinch round?
As soon as the Lu family heard this, he immediately smiled, praised his daughter a few words, and took An Qing to Cui Lao Taijun's yard.
When Mrs. Cui heard her daughter-in-law say some things to buy during the holidays, her brows furrowed tightly, and she sighed and said, "Now the income of the family is also through your hands, and a few gentlemen don't have a serious errand, they are all only in and out, what are you doing with so many things?" In my opinion, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it's just a matter of getting together for a meal. ”
The Lu family was very unhappy to hear that Mrs. Cui was so saving, how can you say that this is a big holiday, and you have to add a few clothes for yourself and your daughter?
The daughter is gradually getting older, and she has passed the end of her life, and she won't even have a decent dress at that time, but how can she go out to meet people?
It's just that the money is in the hands of the mother-in-law, and although she is in charge of the feed, she has to pass the account from the old lady for every penny.
She thought about it for a while, and had to bite the bullet and say, "The old lady is worried about the lack of expenditure at home?" Although this old lady can rest assured, there are still a few shops for my aunt and grandmother, and those who celebrate the New Year must also send some silver taels, and our house is not so poor that she can't even afford to have new clothes for the girl. ”
She glanced at An Qing, An Qing immediately understood, stepped forward and pulled Cui Taijun's arm and shook it, "Ancestor, you can be gracious, granddaughter, I will go to Prince Cheng's Mansion in two days to go to the county lord's lotus banquet, and when the time comes, the clothes will be shabby, and your old face is not good-looking, right?" ”
Mrs. Cui couldn't resist her granddaughter, so she had to sigh, "Where does your little child's family know the hardships of life?" Your brother doesn't have a reputation now, and he is about to marry, although he is marrying your aunt's cousin, but he can't be without people, right? I'm thinking of saving the money from the shop for your brother's marriage. ”
It's all said and done, and it's hard for Lu to say anything.
Besides, the old lady is also planning for her son.
But An Qing was not happy in his heart, pouting and refusing to forgive.
Mrs. Cui couldn't, so she had to take out two hundred taels of silver to make clothes and jewelry for a few girls.
Of course, most of the silver was still spent by An Qing.
After the mother and son discussed it, the Lu family was about to take An Qing down, when he suddenly heard the grandmother come to report, "The prince has sent something." ”
Cui Lao Taijun was startled and almost slipped off the Luohan couch.
She was so excited that her old eyes almost burst into tears.
I thought that Luo Jinxin's dead girl offended the prince last time, but I didn't expect that people hadn't forgotten her stubble, so they specially sent a gift before the Duanyang Festival!
"Quick, please come in." Mrs. Cui hurriedly urged her mother-in-law to go, and looked at the Lu family with a bright face, "Don't be idle, hurry up and let people prepare refreshments and prepare Feng Hong, who is ready to be rewarded." ”
Lu Shi hurriedly answered the call to explain to the girl.
An Qing didn't want to leave, so he sat there without moving.
Mrs. Cui glanced at her, and didn't plan to let her go down.
Although this granddaughter is a little worse than Jin Yatou's appearance, she is the daughter of the An family, unlike the dead girl who eats inside and out, and is not worry-free everywhere. Let her be here, and when the people from the prince's mansion see her later, maybe she will go back and say a few good words, and let the prince remember it.
There were two mothers-in-law in their forties, both dressed gorgeously, and their words and deeds were appropriate.
As soon as he entered the door, he presented a gift list and said, "This is a gift from the prince to Miss Luo......
What the? Was it given to Luo Jinxin's dead girl?
Mrs. Cui clutched the well-written list with both hands, very unbelievable! (To be continued.) )
