Chapter 153: New Year's Day
Mao Er thought about it and gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, I see that those women in King Yong's mansion are very evil, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and that one may really kill us." Or...... Let's give it a go, shall we? ”
"You mean......" Mao Da's eyes flickered, obviously struggling in his heart, but Mao Er's next words moved him, "Let's ask for silver, as long as we can give silver, what does it matter who we do for whom?" Besides, if she can really get out of here, then our brothers will be developed, silver woman, what do you want. ”
"You're right, it's the so-called wealth and danger, our brothers will fight this time!" After making up their minds, Mao Da and Mao Er simply bowed their hands to Ling Ruo and said: "The minions had no eyes before, and they offended the master, and they also asked the master to have a large number of them, spare the minions and others this time, and the minions promise that in the future, they will only look forward to the master and do their best to assist the master!" The words were nice, but his eyes glanced at the pile of jewelry from time to time, and it was clear that that was the real reason for their sincerity.
Ling Ruo saw all this in his eyes, and there was not the slightest displeasure, only greedy people are easy to grasp, and after the Mao brothers smiled and held the pile of jewelry, Ling Ruo stroked his forehead and said to Li Wei warmly: "Go and rest, for the time being, we can sleep peacefully for a while." ”
Li Wei heard this, and whispered: "The master is talking about them...... Will there be dissent? ”
Ling Ruo played with the jade wrench in her hand, which she had taken out of the pile of baggage before, and had not given it to the Mao brothers, along with the bracelet given by Wen Ruyan.
"This kind of person will only be loyal to himself, if there is not enough interest to bind them, sooner or later there will be a day of backwater, you two should pay attention to it, and tell me immediately if there is anything abnormal." For the Mao brothers, some are just using them, and there is no trust at all; This is true for her, and so is the Mao brothers.
Anyway, after the two of them were taken into use, Ling Ruo's life in the courtyard gradually improved, and the food was no longer cold and hard dry rice, the Mao brothers diligently sent hot meals and hot dishes every time, but their craftsmanship Ling Ruo and a few people really didn't dare to compliment, and Mo Yu simply started cooking by herself when she was in the house before, she had stolen a few hands from the chef in the kitchen before, and the meal was done at a very high level, even the Mao brothers were full of praise, saying that they had a fight with the restaurant; Those who have eaten good food don't want to go back to eat bad food, so since then, except for the morning they will go to buy some steamed buns or something, the rest of the two meals are in charge of Moyu, and they can do it at most. Mo Yu was very reluctant to see them at first, but after being there for a long time, he was willing to take a few more looks and talk.
The days passed gradually in such a turbulent situation, on the day of the child's full moon, she deliberately asked the Mao brothers to buy incense candles and paper money to burn to their own children who died young, in the cigarette smoke, she put away the resentment in her eyes little by little, just quietly put it in her heart and sharpened it into a sharp and cold long sword, and stabbed everyone who had lost her in the coming day.
On the first day of the first month of the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, it was an extremely sunny day, Li Wei got up early in the morning to boil water, and threw chickens and fish that Mao Da had bought from the market a few days ago. Although this time is different from the past, it is also the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I have to eat a good meal.
After the water boiled, he slaughtered chickens and fish with the Mao brothers, and they were very busy, but it was also lively, Ling Ruo didn't go to join in the excitement, and watched them busy on the side.
Thoughts slowly floated, and somehow I thought of Yinzhen, who should now be on the way to the palace to say goodbye to the emperor and Concubine De.
She should have hated him very much, but as time went by, hatred and love gradually became entangled, and even she couldn't tell whether she hated Yinzhen more or loved more......
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Rong Xiang's voice, and sure enough, when I turned around, I saw him lying on the wall and grinning at himself. These days, Rong Xiang often climbs the wall to come in, and the Mao brothers also know the way, but they have received the benefits of Ling Ruo, and Rong Xiang is a clever kid who often brings some good things to them, so as long as it is not too excessive, he will turn a blind eye, and even put an old table under the wall for Rong Xiang to jump down.
Rong Xiang jumped down from the wall neatly with a big burden on his back, and first saluted everyone one by one and said: "Niu Hulu Ronglu gives you New Year's greetings, Xie Lu thanks you for taking care of my sister in these days, I wish you all good health and good luck in the coming year!" ”
Mao Da, who was fading chicken feathers, wiped his hands on his shirt and said with a smile: "You kid is listening, what's the matter, do we still have to give you a red envelope?" ”
"If anything, it's the best!" Rong Xiang stretched out his hand with a grin, he knew everyone well, even the Mao brothers.
"It's beautiful to think about!" Mao Dazhao looked at the back of his head, but he still took out a sealed red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to him, as well as Mao Er; Followed by Li Wei and Mo Yu, they handed over red envelopes, which were a small silver-inlaid enamel dagger and a jade pendant to ward off evil spirits, obviously they had expected that Rongxiang would come over today, so they specially prepared, which was also one of the few things they carried.
Different from the Mao brothers' response to the situation and a little flattery, Li Wei and Mo Yu both treat Rong Xiang as their own brothers, although they were born in the same womb, Rong Xiang is far more like Ling Ruo than Yilan, and they are easier to get along with.
Rongxiang is a child, as soon as he gets the red envelope, he immediately opens it, and when he sees that Mao Da and Mao Er's red envelopes only have a few dollars and broken silver, he jokingly said that there is so little.
When Mao Er heard this, he immediately shouted: "You can be content, there are red envelopes, and my eldest brother and I have nothing." ”
Rong Xiang grinned and didn't answer, just walked up to Ling Ruo and said, "Sister, everyone else has given red envelopes, and only you, your own sister, are left?" ”
When facing this younger brother, Ling Ruo's expression was extremely gentle, and he stroked his head and said, "You have thanked so many people for your sister, this red envelope naturally can't be saved, and everyone has it." ”
After taking out the red envelope and handing it to Rong Xiang, Ling Ruo gave the remaining red envelopes to Li Wei and the others one by one.
"Do we have that too?" Mao Da originally watched them take the red envelope with some envy, but when he found that Ling Ruo walked in front of him and handed the red envelope over, he was stunned for a moment.
"I said that there are all of them, how can I favor one over the other without you, not to mention that these days there is no lack of your help, but there is no silver in it, it is my own wishful tassel woven with a colored rope, I hope you don't dislike it." Ling Ruo said with a smile.
Mao Da and Mao Er took the red envelope with a complicated face, they almost couldn't remember how many years they hadn't received a red envelope, only that when Lu Dao was six years old, his parents both died, and they were kicked out of the house by a group of relatives who coveted the family's land and lived on the streets, and no one sent them a red envelope, but now they received it from a woman who was much younger than them.
