Chapter 2 This is My Cat
01
Liu Tangli grabbed Xiao Cui's hand and said in a panic: "Go and invite Dr. Zhou." ”
Wu's mother's face was also anxious, her nephew was in his forties, and he hadn't married a wife yet. Hongxi, this girl, although she has a miscarriage, is also a smart girl. Don't be yellow about this!
It didn't take much effort for Dr. Zhou to come in with a medical kit. He was hired by the prime minister to treat the servants and maids. And he dwelt in the house.
Doctor Zhou rolled his eyelids for Hongxi, called the vasins, and looked serious. Finally, with a sigh, he shook his head and left.
Hu San trembled his hands, pointed at Wu Ma's eyes, bared his teeth and grinned, with a strange look. He let out a beastly roar: "That's how you did to your own nephew? Find someone who is dying for me, do you want me to marry and buy a coffin? ”
Mother Wu was also annoyed, she thought, what did I want to do with me, for you, I will go to the eldest young master, go to the eldest lady, and the three of them will talk about it before Mrs. agrees to this matter.
"What am I fishing for you?" Mother Wu was extremely angry.
"Hmph, I know what you're thinking, isn't it that you stole your two ducks last time, so you cursed me to die early. Tell me to buy a coffin. Hu San's eyes narrowed, as if he had seen the most disgusting thing.
He hated and scolded: "Dead mother-in-law, bad mother-in-law, gave birth to a son and no grandson." gave birth to a daughter and lost his life. The last two sentences are about her grandson's early death and her daughter's inability to marry.
Wu's mother beat her chest when she heard this, she really wanted to find someone to beat him to death with a cane. In the end, Wow Wow Wow cried out aggrievedly.
Hu San followed behind, scolding and shouting all the way, he just wanted everyone to come and see the true face of this old woman.
The little maids who came and went, all covered their mouths and snickered, they had long been unaccustomed to Mama Wu's arrogant and smug look.
Well deserved, well deserved. Their hearts are dark.

In the blink of an eye, it is autumn. The sky was hung with a rising sun.
Early in the morning, Liu Tangli practiced calligraphy on the stone table in the courtyard. It's just that after practicing for so long, the words are still ugly, like crooked melons and cracked dates.
She picked up the paper and looked at the crooked ink characters, left and right. In the end, he was so frustrated that he balled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.
The rolling paper ball attracts a cat that sprang out of nowhere. Long white hair, like a small Persian cat.
Liu Tangli's eyes lit up with excitement, for a girl in the 21st century, it was like entering a cage, without freedom, and life was boring and monotonous. She always wanted to have a pet.
She tiptoed lightly, slowly approaching. What Liu Tangli said in her heart was, don't move, don't move, let the old lady catch you.
Liu Tangli's hands are like two eagle claws. She aimed at the moment and pounced. The kitten was so frightened that it "swished" and disappeared.
The cat's reaction was so quick, Liu Tangli muttered to herself. She hurried to find it. She didn't want to miss such a cute kitten.
03
Each courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion has a dog hole. A small one, which is only allowed for a small child to pass through. Adults can't do it.
Liu Tangli searched and searched, dressed, and found that the cat was lying on the laps of the young lady's personal maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
That girl, Liu Tangli knows. The name is Chunlu, which was brought by the sister-in-law when she got married. According to the regulations of the house, in order to facilitate the care of the master, she has to live in the eldest brother and sister-in-law's room at night.
Liu Tangli hid in the flowers, she didn't want others to find out, and laughed at her sneaky. Suddenly, Wu's mother came over to bask in the sun with a bunch of books in her hand. It's afraid of insects.
She heard Wu's mother say to Chunlu: "Madame has given you so many saffrons, don't be stingy with them, and wash them carefully when you take a bath." ”
Chunlu responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”
"The two masters have served well, and you will have a good life in the future. Be disciplined, not transgressed. Otherwise, the master will crush you to death, just like it is easy to crush an ant. Mother Wu thought of Hongxi's girl, sighed, and left.
Is it raining? Why is it falling into the water, why is it falling bigger and bigger? Liu Tangli felt that her clothes were all wet. She looked up, and oh my God, it was a little maid watering the flowers.
The little maid covered her mouth and snickered, and finally couldn't hold it back and laughed. She is new here, she doesn't know Liu Tangli's identity, and she thinks she is also a little maid.
This little girl was definitely deliberate, Liu Tangli was so angry that she stood up "Oh", Chunlu's eyes fell on her, and she hurriedly put down the cat and came over: "Third Miss, why are you hiding here?" ”
Liu Tangli's face was slightly red, and she smiled awkwardly. What to say, saying that I got in from a dog hole to find a cat. What if the entrance to the cave is blocked in the future, she still wants to slip around.
"Let's go, let's go inside." Chunlu thought, this third young lady is really strange, where did she come from? How to behave sneakily? Is it that her house is too poor and comes to steal things? No, I've got to watch out for her.
Liu Tangli walked into the threshold of the house and saw her sister-in-law Zhao Maochang sitting in front of the dresser, and the two maidservants were combing her hair and dressing up.
When Zhao Maochang saw her, she hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring a cloth towel." Zhao Maochang despised it in her heart, a concubine is a concubine, and there are no rules at all. Like a naughty child in the countryside. But there was a mild face.
Zhao Maochang reached out and took the cloth towel, as gentle and careful as wiping a baby. Despise is despised, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, love the house and Wu. She truly treats her in-laws as her own family.
Mother Wu entered the house. She said to Zhao Maochang: "Young lady, the books I hung outside are all the treasures of the young master, you tell the girls in your house to watch them all and don't get drenched in the rain." The tone seemed to be asking the daughter-in-law.
Zhao Maochang responded respectfully: "Yes, nurse." She followed her husband to call Wu's mother a nurse. She knew the status of Mother Wu in Liu Yansong's heart.
Mother Wu nodded, and said, "I'm going to the market to buy some pastries now, what does the young lady want to eat?" ”
Zhao Maochang said: "Buy some osmanthus cake for this little girl." Children love to eat these. ”
From the time she entered the door to the present, Mama Wu didn't even look at Liu Tangli. She said to Zhao Maochang: "This girl is different, she doesn't like to eat this thing." ”
Why don't I like osmanthus cake? How do you know? Liu Tangli raised her face, her eyes were full of pleading, and she said, "Mother Wu, take me there." ”
When Wu's mother heard this, she was very unhappy. She thought, your daughter actually said that you were going out to show her face, it seems that the dead hoof really didn't teach her the rules well.
She lowered her face and said, "Is the outside the place you should be?" It's really embarrassing, she thought, how did Mrs. Luo teach a daughter to be a country girl, and why is her personality so fond of making fun.
Wu's mother said to Chunlu, who was standing aside, "You go with me." ”
Chunlu wanted to shake his head and refuse, but he didn't dare. She kept an eye on Liu Tangli, for fear that something precious would be stolen from the house. But then I thought about it, I can talk to Wu's mother later, and let her be on guard.
So she followed Mother Wu.

The little maid who watered just now, as soon as she heard Chunlu shouting "Third Miss", her face changed, and she ran in a panic to get Liu Tangli's clothes.
She held her clothes in both hands, lowered her head, and walked tremblingly, feeling like an old lady whose hands were trembling.
She trembled and took off her clothes for Liu Tangli and put them on again. Respectfully saluted the two masters and said goodbye.
Then he left with his legs dangling and wandering away.
Zhao Maochang asked Liu Tangli: "Do you have something to do here?" ”
Liu Tangli said, "I'm here to find that cat." She pointed to the sleeping cat outside the window.
The cat was given by a colleague of Zhao Maochang's father, Zhao Maochang has always disliked furry things, she originally wanted to say, if you like it, take it.
But she remembered that Chunlu took it as a baby, so she said: "I can borrow you to play for a few days, but when you have played enough, you have to bring it back." "She doesn't want this little girl to come and play with the cat every day.
Liu Tangli responded in his mouth: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." "Holding the cat, I ran happily.

The yellow glow of the sunset, falling on the sparkling water, falling on the small bridge.
Liu Tangli stood in the middle of the bridge and let out a loud "meow" to the surroundings. Cat, where are you hiding?
Just now she was holding the cat and wanted to return it, but unexpectedly, it ran away halfway.
How can she explain to others now, she was anxious, and from a distance, she saw a small figure, wearing the clothes of a servant. Look closely, it is the youngest son of the biological mother's seventh aunt's personal servant, Luo Ma's stone.
Liu Tangli saw him walking towards the lake, squatted down, picked up something and left.
It's a cat, it must be a cat......
"Don't go." Liu Tangli shouted loudly.
But Xiaoshizi seemed to be deaf, and he didn't even look back, and continued to walk his way.
But to say that Xiaoshizi is really deaf is also wrong. Because when Liu Tangli ran over, the pebble also ran wildly.
After chasing for a long time, Liu Tangli finally grabbed Xiaoshi's sleeve out of breath, and she said breathlessly: "Give me back the cat." ”
"I don't, it's my cat." The little stone was aggrieved and anxious, obviously I caught it. Just because you're a young lady, am I going to give it to you?
"It's obviously my cat, hurry up, or I'll call your mother to beat you." Liu Tangli glared at him with her eyes.
Xiaoshi looked sad, he roared in his heart, why did you bully me like this, why was I born to be a servant's life, I was born to be a cow and a horse for others, why was I born to be ridden by others. He wanted to grab Liu Tangli by the collar and asked.
Xiao Shi thought with a calm face, today you used your high status to take away my cat. In the future, I will ask you to kneel and beg for mercy.
Pebble put the cat down and ran away with red eyes.
The kitten seemed to be greatly frightened, and as soon as it touched the ground, it jumped high and landed on the courtyard wall, shivering.
Liu Tangli leaned against the wall, her hands held high, trying to catch the cat. It's a pity she's too short.
When she wanted to call someone and take the cat down, she heard someone talking inside the wall.
A very sharp female voice, she said: "Sister Lan, the one in the house is amazing, the eldest young master said that she 'came out of the mud without staining', and she will serve the third prince in the future." ”
A female voice echoed sourly: "I can't beat now, I can't scold, I can't scold, it's not easy to call us in charge." ”
Another voice sounded: "Isn't it, now those girls down there are hard to manage." ”
