The next day, when the green warbler came back from selling sugar gourds, Liu Song was sitting at the head of the bed in the hall, nibbling on a melon.
After seeing her from afar, he hurriedly lifted the quilt and hid the melon tightly. Standing up and rubbing to the threshold, he craned his neck at her, and asked urgently, "How much did you sell today?" ”
"Back to my wife, I sold it for more than 200 yuan." The green warbler walked to the table, took out the copper plate from the money bag, and spread it all out on the table.
Liu Song's eyes tightened, and he immediately sat down, stretched out his hand, and with a bang, he gathered the copper coins into a handful and counted them happily. As soon as she finished counting, she glanced at the green warbler, "All taken out?" Didn't you fall behind? ”
With a gleam in her eyes, she raised her eyebrows and reached for the green warbler's front placket.
The green warbler was choked, her face was purple, she clenched her fists, endured her shame and grievances, and let her rummage before stopping.
Liu Song looked at her and looked down silently, and giggled, "Mo Duoxin, I'm not afraid that you will be tired and confused?" If you don't dig it out, when will you have to trouble picking it out of the cracks of the stones? ”
Looking at this sweet-hearted and bitter person, Lu Ying sneered in her heart, she is a little maid, but she has to come and go in the wind and rain every day, use her own craftsmanship and the money she earns to support her two masters, and she will be regarded as a thief, which is unheard of!
She hung her head, hid her resentment in her eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "If the wife is fine, the slave will cook first." ”
"Oops", Liu Song patted his thigh, and said with a look of annoyance: "Look at my brain, I'm confused when I'm old, we just ate it, but I forgot to leave it for you, hey" After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and said: "The young master hasn't wiped his body yet, why don't you fire it, you bear with it, and eat it tomorrow morning?" ”
The green warbler is suffocated, and here it is again! There is always a month when she doesn't have food for nearly half a month, even if she is a donkey, she has to be fed before grinding, let alone people! Enduring the humiliation, she clutched her rumbling belly and went back to the back room.
Lying on the bed, she thought of Fang Cai, and her heart was full of hatred and anger. Since she set up a stall, she has never kept a copper plate privately, and she is so hungry that she is so hungry at noon that she is reluctant to buy even a bun, but what can she get? Bullying, suspicion, contempt, and cruelty!
She sneered and walked to the door, opened it, looked around quietly, and closed it shut. Turning around and walking quickly back to the bed, he thought about it, turned around and glanced at the door twice, and when no one approached, he lifted the mattress and took out a piece of paper between the bed board and the wall.
It was Feng Yuan's twenty-two silver tickets. She looked at it in a daze, thinking of the thin lover, and felt sad again. After a moment, she shook her head until she had shaken the figure in her mind to a blur.
The green warbler secretly thought, no, you have to find a secret place to hide it, otherwise let the wife see it, and she will take it for herself. That man is as vicious as a wolf, as vicious as a leech, and he can't wait to tear her flesh and drink her blood, and she will not give this silver ticket if she dies!
She surveyed the room back and forth, and finally settled on the large chest of clothes. The box was half a man high, and she bent down and nestled her whole body, hiding the silver ticket firmly at the bottom. After taking a look, I was satisfied, and I guess there were a lot of clothes pressed on it, and it would not be seen.
I was secretly overjoyed in my heart, but after a while, I suddenly froze.
She suddenly thought, will my wife come to search? Since you can search her today, will Ming'er come to search her house?
She panicked, hurriedly ran to the big box, took out the silver ticket, clutched it tightly to her chest, and paced back and forth in circles around the room. What can I do about this, let's not talk about whether the private silver will attract his wife to beat and scold, just these twenty taels of silver tickets, she would rather be gnawed by a mouse than cheapen the tiger and wolf person!
She looked around the room as if she had just done it, but shook her head in disappointment. Stuffy cupboards, large boxes, cabinets, and under the bed are all places that are easy to rummage through, and they cannot be hidden.
Suddenly, a touch of delicacy was lined by the sun, and it suddenly came into view.
The big box has an open top, and the top is her pink belly pocket. She was overjoyed that she had found a hiding place for the silver ticket.
The needle picks the thorns, the colored threads fly, and the green warbler carefully sews the silver ticket in the mezzanine of the belly pocket, and at the end embroiders a small lotus flower in the dark, reminding himself not to wear it again and wash it. The little white teeth gently bit off the colored thread, and she put the belly pocket back into the box openly, and closed the lid tightly.
When it was done, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. I was secretly happy in my heart, and I just wanted to grin for my own anxious life, but when I remembered something, my mouth deflated again.
The most worrying thing is the old pig demon. Mrs. said that she was going to find Zhu Yuanwai, although Master Tong promised to protect her in this matter, but who knows if he said it casually that day? The big guy smacked his mouth, and when he turned around, he might have forgotten that the people below dared to chase after others. Besides, he is an official, even if she wants to inquire, she doesn't dare.
The green warbler was thinking about her heart, but the door was suddenly pushed open.
She was taken aback, and when she saw Liu Song enter the house with a smile on his face, she turned around and opened the door wide, turned her head and greeted her with a smile: "There is a guest coming, treat it well." ”
Lu Ying was stunned, why did someone from Liu's Mansion entertain guests in her subordinate room? She asked, "Who?" ”
Liu Song chuckled, "Oh, this person is also your old acquaintance, be obedient, don't be temperamental." ”
Old acquaintances? The green warbler's face turned white, and there must be no doubt that Zhu Yuanwai was outside.
Her palms were sweating and she was shaking, but her ears were more sensitive than usual.
She heard her lady retreat as if to meet someone at the door, followed by the squeak of the door, and finally, the sound of footsteps slowly sounding behind her. The soap boots slammed on the ground with a muffled sound, as if they were smashing on her heart.
Her heart trembled, and she slowly turned around to look.
