19. Sick
***
It was still quite a threat to Luo Quan if the fraud was exposed, so he really found the prisoner's chains and asked Tong Wanqing to lock Xu Xiaole up. Even the windows of the study that Xu Xiaole was used to walking in were nailed with wooden strips. Xu Xiaole's protest was fruitless, so he could only go on a hunger strike. After a hungry meal, he stopped using it to intimidate his sister-in-law.
Tong Wanqing didn't even know about Xu Xiaole's hunger strike, because the meal was originally canceled because Xu Xiaole didn't memorize the book.
After Xu Xiaole grinded for two days, Mu Baihu really came to deliver the medical money. It was a full ten taels of silver, and it all fell into the hands of my sister-in-law. The rescued man brought two ducks to thank Xu Xiaole, but he was also blocked.
Xu Xiaole protested: "I saved him, can't I hear him say thank you in person!" ”
Tong Wanqing said, "You think you saved him?" You know that you're a blind cat and a dead mouse! Luckily, it turned out to be good, so I won't punish you. If you mess around again, I'm going to talk to you about receiving Dr. Ge's consultation money. ”
Xu Xiaole immediately shut up in recognition. He had long known that Ge Zaixing's diagnosis of him was mostly unconcealable, but he didn't expect it to leak so quickly. However, my sister-in-law seems to have changed her temperament recently, if she follows her previous personality, I am afraid that as soon as she knew that Xu Xiaole had hidden so much private money, she would have come in with a rolling pin to force her!
"Until you have a weak crown, don't expect monthly money." Of course, Tong Wanqing would not let it go, announced the punishment, and said with sympathy: "I hope you didn't squander the silver." ”
Xu Xiaole tried to raise the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile and a cry: "That's nature, I naturally want to hide the silver and use it on the blade." ”
"That's good. Let's endorse well, I'll go to work, and I'll talk to you later. Tong Wanqing said and went downstairs.
Xu Xiaole was so sad that he sat on the ground against the door, and almost fell asleep. Fortunately, there was a knocking sound of Hu Meiniang knocking on the wall from the next room, and Xu Xiaole came to the momentum, leaned to the wall, and laughed with Hu Meiniang through the wall.
Hu Meiniang's guest room is next to the study, which is separated from Tong Wanqing's master bedroom and Lao Anren's bedroom by a staircase. They talk against the wall here, and as long as the voice is not loud, they can't be heard there.
Xu Xiaole's blood is undecided, Hu Meiniang has been absent for a long time, if the two were not separated by a wall, they would not have known what would have happened. There is this wall, although they can't pass people, but their voices can pass, so the two of them knocked on the wall as a signal, and said some puns and teasing each other at the weak point of the wall, and they enjoyed each other very much.
Today's theme is naturally what Xu Xiaole is most concerned about.
"I don't know who told my sister-in-law about the consultation fee, and I was hurt until the weak crown's monthly money was gone." Xu Xiaole complained in a low voice.
Hu Meiniang said: "You are smart and clever, if you are willing to spend one-tenth of your mind on studying, why can't you teach a dictionary and a subject in a few years?" Do you still care about that little bit of monthly money? ”
Xu Xiaole thumped his head: "I'm not afraid of endorsements." It's a pity that the medical books I memorized were completely useless. I can memorize the chapters and sentences, but I don't understand what to say at all. Well, except for the "Su Nu Sutra", I can understand it, but there is nowhere to verify it. ”
"What is written in the "Su Nu Sutra"?" Hu Meiniang asked in a low voice, but her heartbeat involuntarily beat faster.
Hu Meiniang was sold by her parents when she was young and became someone's maid and maid. After moving to Xu's mansion, from Lao Anren's personal maid to Xu Hui's concubine, if you don't work hard to improve your self-cultivation, how can you achieve such a leap in life? Professional readings such as the Plain Girl Sutra are compulsory for her. Not only do I know what is written in it, but I don't know how many times I've practiced it.
Xu Xiaole knew that he was being teased, and he said happily: "That scripture is about the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which is very profound, I'm afraid it can't be said clearly, and I have to demonstrate it myself to understand." ”
Hu Meiniang smiled secretly: You little chick doesn't know if you have seen a woman's body, and you dare to play with the old lady. She said, "If you have time in the future, you can show it to me." I'm a person who likes Taoist things, and it's much more interesting than reciting Buddha all day long. ”
Xu Xiaole's heart was full of joy when he heard it, and his whole body was soft, but the bottom was hard. He secretly said in his heart: The ancients said that a true woman can make people's whole body soft, but only one place is hard, and it is really honest and not deceiving!
Hu Meiniang listened to the breathing on the other side of the wall, and snickered again, before saying, "Don't make your sister-in-law angry recently." She's actually miserable. After Hu Meiniang finished speaking, she felt that Xu Xiaole might not understand the physical and mental torment of a single woman at that age, so she diverged and said: "The four maids in my family are all serving in Lao An's room, and they can only serve before and after, and they can't work more than ordinary ladies from large families." These days have been supported by your sister-in-law alone, and not only can we not help, but we have dragged her down. I can only help to be some female celebrities and do my best. ”
Xu Xiaole still remembered her monthly money and said, "It's okay, she's in good health." If you're really tired, you can beat me less than two times. ”
Hu Meiniang sneered: "You white-eyed wolf, you seem to have been beaten up, do you have itchy skin if you don't suffer for a day?" ”
Xu Xiaole smiled: "I don't have an addiction, but if she doesn't beat me for a day, I seem to have done something less, and I will dream back when I fall asleep at night." It's better to be beaten and sleep soundly. ”
Hu Meiniang laughed again.
Xu Xiaole reacted even more when he heard this laughter, and he couldn't wait to turn out all the jokes in his stomach and make the beauty next door laugh until dawn. The two of them talked so bluntly that they had three watches outside, and they were so sleepy that they went to sleep. Xu Xiaole was addicted to his mouth, and naturally slept very sweetly this night.
The next morning, Xu Xiaole jumped up from the bed in high spirits, and when he saw that it was already bright outside, he couldn't help but wonder: Why didn't his sister-in-law come to wake him up today? In the past, when the sky was dark, Tong Wanqing would come over to open the door and call Xu Xiaole up to wash, eat, and read. Xu Xiaole walked to the door and pulled it, and found that the chains outside were still locked, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Sister Hu, Sister Hu!" Xu Xiaole shouted twice.
Hu Meiniang came up from downstairs and said, "Are you up?" Your sister-in-law is not very well today, so I advised her to sleep a little longer, these days are really tiring for her. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "Then you have to open the door and let me out, I need to urinate." ”
Hu Meiniang smiled: "Hold it! I'll go get you the keys. First of all, your sister-in-law asked me to guard the door, you are not allowed to take the opportunity to escape. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "There are two big beauties guarding the house, what am I going out for?" He added another sentence in his heart: Now that there is no Xu Hanlin's umbrella, it is very boring to walk around on the street. In the past, those white-faced people on the street didn't flatter him anymore, and no one invited him to eat and drink, the world was really cold!
Hu Meiniang quickly took the key and turned it back, opened the door for Xu Xiaole, and said urgently: "Xiaole, you go to see your sister-in-law, her face is terrifying, it seems to be worse than in the morning." ”
