Chapter 69: Calculation
When he walked to Aunt Jing's yard, the truth was not as Sun Dan imagined, and as soon as he got there, Sun Dan secretly complained this time.
It turned out that subordinates like Sun Dan didn't have the opportunity to come to the inner house on weekdays, and they didn't know much about the building structure inside. Before that, he had only been to Mrs. Hong's yard. Mrs. Hong's courtyard is naturally magnificent, but what are the other courtyards like, Sun Dan's eyes are black.
When she arrived at Aunt Jing's residence, Sun Dan found that although she was a concubine, the yard was not small. There are two sets of courtyards, the canal that needs to be dredged is in the outer courtyard, and Sun Jia lives in the innermost courtyard.
At this time, the people in Aunt Jing's courtyard also got up, and the lights were very bright. That Sun Gui got up early in the morning because he was going to take the hospital exam today, and even got up with the maids to wait. Now, it is estimated that Sun Gui has gone to Mrs. Liu to gather, but he can't count on it.
Even if he is still in the courtyard now, with his small belly and chicken intestines, he has a festival with himself, but I am afraid that he will gloat and watch the excitement next to him. A few days ago, although the relationship between Sun Dan and Sun Gui eased, the mustard in the hearts of the two was still deep-rooted.
Now it is about five or six o'clock in the morning Beijing time in the future, Sun Jia is estimated to be sleeping, and it is impossible to get up on a cold day here.
Sun Dan felt great pain in his heart, and stood on the edge of the canal in a daze.
Agui pushed him and shouted, "Reader, it's time for you to go into the water." ”
The guy next to him also looked at the excitement with a sneer. As for Aunt Jing, she took out a handkerchief and spread it on a Taihu Lake stone on the edge of the canal, sat down with her buttocks, and waited for Sun Dan to make a fool of herself with a stick.
It's early spring, the water is bitingly cold, and Sun Dan's health is poor, so letting him go into the water to dig the river is simply killing him.
In any case, the water cannot be discharged.
But how do you get out?
Sun Dan was anxious, slowly leaned down, touched the water surface with his hand, and as soon as his fingers touched the stream, he shivered with cold.
"How's that, it's cool, isn't it?" Aunt Jing chuckled: "Mrs. Liu said, you are not allowed to go ashore until noon on this river." Sun Dan, you and I have no grievances, but you really shouldn't offend Brother Yue and Mrs. Liu. I advise you, this time, you better get out of the Sun Mansion. As for the reading exam, don't even think about it, poor people are poor all their lives, and don't think about anything to get ahead, that's not your life. ”
Sun Dan smiled dumbly: "I will not leave the Sun Mansion." He withdrew his hand, and suddenly remembered the part in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" where Wei Xiaobao was held hostage by two eunuchs in the palace to see the queen. And Aunt Jing has the taste of the fake Queen Mother Mao Dongzhu.
Thinking of this, Sun Dan was happy in his heart, took out a silver ingot of five taels from his arms and held it in his hand, pretending to be surprised: "God, I am really lucky, I actually took out a piece of silver from the canal." Rich, rich, at least five taels. Aunt Jing, should this money belong to me? ”
Aunt Jing and the three of them heard this shout and looked up at the same time. I saw that under the light, there was a dime of silver in Sun Dan's hand that was shining brightly, and the light was definitely a fine snowflake silver full of color.
Although the Sun Mansion is a wealthy family, the family has a large population and huge expenses. In addition, the Sun family's income has plummeted in recent years, and they are gradually unable to make ends meet. The average family member only has a few dollars a month, and a character like Aunt Jing only has a little more than one or two dollars a month. These five taels of silver are enough for them to spend half a year.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Dan said that digging the canal could also take out five taels of silver, the three of them became short of breath at the same time, and shouted at the same time: "What, silver, take it." ”
Sun Dan pretended to be afraid, pinched the silver tightly, and shouted, "Auntie, what you said is wrong. The money in this water is ownerless, and whoever picks it will belong to whomever it is, and how can I give it over if the money is in my hand? ”
"Bastard, you want to die!" Aunt Jing shouted: "This ingot of silver fell into it when I passed by this canal yesterday, first, the water is cold, and the water surface is so wide, there is no way to find it." I think my Aunt Jing doesn't lack a few dollars, so I don't bother to look for it. I didn't expect you to be so lucky, you can touch it as soon as you touch it, give it back to me. ”
"If you don't give it, you don't give it, whoever picks it will go to whom, it's a big deal that I won't do this gardener, let's go home and do some small business to make ends meet." Sun Dan stood up and made a gesture to escape.
Aunt Jing was in a hurry, and shouted to Ah Gui and the others: "Stop him, and wait for the next person to reward two coins of silver." ”
Ah Gui and others secretly scolded: Two coins of silver, you can say it.
But they were born slaves and sold themselves to the Sun Mansion, and the master had an order, and they couldn't fail to carry it out. Although the two dollars are not much, they are better than nothing.
So, the two of them pounced viciously at Sun Dan at the same time.
Sun Dan pretended to be scared and shouted angrily: "Robber, even if I can't get this silver, I won't take you for nothing?" After speaking, he raised his hand and threw the silver towards Aunt Jing far away.
Aunt Jing saw the opportunity quickly, and suddenly flashed to the side, if it weren't for this, her head would be smashed and bloody.
I saw that the silver ingot fell into the flower bed by the stone side of Taihu Lake with the sound of the wind, and I could no longer see it.
"Stupid, go find it." Aunt Jing let out a sharp scream, turned around and walked towards the flower garden.
It's getting dark, how to find it for a while.
Ah Gui and the others also let go of Sun Dan, and ran to squat on the ground and touch it for a while.
Seeing that no one was staring at him anymore, how could he let go of this opportunity, he raised his strength and ran forward, and rushed straight into the inner house.
Sun Jia's room was in the courtyard inside, and there was a maid carrying a lantern to illuminate Aunt Jing, but when she saw Sun Dan rushing with a fierce face, and a pair of bare feet, she was so frightened that she stumbled, fell to the ground, and screamed loudly: "Auntie, aunt, it's not good." ”
Aunt Jing happened to touch the ingot of silver on the ground, and felt a heavy sense of satisfaction, and was about to laugh proudly, when she heard the maid screaming, she said angrily: "What's not good, I'm very good." ”
Sun Dan ...... Sun Dan rushed inside. ”
"What, the thief is bold, come and tie him up for me and send him to Jinan Mansion." Aunt Jing was shocked and angry, her daughter was sleeping inside, if Sun Dan saw it, this loss would be great.
"We ...... It's hard to get in. Ah Gui and the others stood at the gate of the courtyard, not daring to go in.
Aunt Jing was very helpless, so she had to rush in alone.
But she is a female streamer, plus a little girl, how can she control Sun Dan.
I heard Sun Dan tear up his throat and shout: "Sun Jia get up quickly, I have something to look for you."
