Chapter Twenty-Four: The Cowardly Mu'er

The weather in May is not like April, and in April you can still dress indiscriminately, but in May it is already hot, and you can't wear the coarse cloth and thick clothes. The sun is also a little scorching, and the wind is hot. The leaves of the trees also did not rain for a long time, and the branches were full of dust.

A ledger in the Li Mansion also bought blue fine sand clothes for the people in each house, all of them were cardigans and straight-leg trousers. Early in the morning, the house supervisors went to the warehouse of the middle courtyard.

The account room of the Li Mansion is divided into six doors, of which four account rooms are located in the front yard, five account rooms are set in the back yard, one or two three account rooms are located in the middle courtyard, and no one knows where the six account rooms are located. Although this account room is in charge of the seasonal clothes and accessories, living utensils of each room, and the purchase and replacement of farm tools produced by the pastoral manor of all the people up and down the Li Mansion, few people in the whole house know that this is an account room, because every time everyone receives something, they go to the warehouse.

When Mu'er received the letter, she also came out of the courtyard early and hurried over.

Along the way, Mu'er thought happily. Although I used to be in the middle courtyard, I always followed the chief manager out to take care of errands and could make some small money, but I was always asked to go by the blessings, and I fished for nothing, and I always carried the love of the chief manager. Now that he has been promoted to a supervisor, although he doesn't want to reach out and make any small money, he is better at leisure and in a good mood. Speaking of which, there is actually nothing to be gained, it was originally all small money, and if you reach out again, it will be gone, how can there be anything to stretch. But following Niu Ba, it's like following your own brother, it's too late to take care of it, how can you still have the heart to reach out.

A few people in the courtyard are now like a family, and they can't do without anyone. Uncle Qian, an old man in Honest Mune, is willing to do things and can't be idle. Aunt Qian, diligent, the meals are well cooked, and the greatest pleasure is that she likes to twist Hanzi's ears. Xiaofeng, well, good, good! Hanzi ......

Thinking of Hanzi, Mu'er couldn't help laughing, just like Childe said, what a foodie!

There are only three men in his yard, Uncle Qian, Hanzi and himself, and he only needs to receive six sets, and each person has two sets of washing. As for Xiaofeng, according to the habit of the Li Mansion, she had to follow Mrs. Xiaocui to receive it. All the maid's clothes and accessories are purchased with the hostesses of each room, but there are some differences in the material, and the color is much more relaxed, unlike the men, who only have spring and autumn indigo, summer blue, gray and winter black.

Passing through the gate of the east courtyard, entering the backyard, the backyard atrium, and moving forward with an arched door is the middle courtyard. When Mu'er came to the backyard, she saw Li De and Zhang Er coming over. Mu'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly hid to the side.

"Mu'er?" Li De had already seen him.

Hearing Li De's shout, Mu'er couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Master De." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. Remember, you have to call Deye every time. Li De couldn't help but be triumphant.

"Small...... Got it. "Mu'er just wants to leave early.

"Brother De, I'm afraid this kid is not convinced, right?" Zhang Er said in a weird manner beside him: "It seems that this kid didn't want to see you just now, Brother De." ”

"Huh?" Li De lifted Mu'er's chin, squinted his eyes and asked, "But that's the case?" ”

"Master De, there is no small one." As soon as she heard this, Mu'er couldn't help but be a little scared, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Li De looked at Mu'er's scared bear, patted Mu'er's shoulder, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mu'er, does Master De eat people?" ”

“……”

"Look like you're scared of being that bear."

"Brother De, didn't you say that this kid is now promoted to director?"

Hearing Zhang Er's words, Li Dega suppressed his smile and said, "Yes, boy, I heard that you are now the supervisor?" ”

"No...... No...... It's ......"

"Isn't it?" Li Dedao: "Didn't you say that you became the butler of that kid of Niu Ba?" ”

"Master De, this is ...... Old lady ...... Quiet...... Arranged. ”

"I know it's the old lady's arrangement." Li pulled Mu'er's hand and pretended to be close and said, "Brother Mu'er, you are now in charge, how about getting a few small coins?" ”

"Master De, I'm ...... I ......, "Mu'er is in a hurry, how can I have a little money?"

"Don't say you don't." Li De frowned and said, "You are all in charge." I heard them say, when you were not in charge before, you had a small amount of money in your hands, but now will you have it? ”

"......" Mu'er was dumbfounded, in this way, he should really have a little money on him. Do you have one? Not really!

"Boy, then you really don't treat Master De as a master!" Li De couldn't help but shout.

"Brother De, this kid seems to be underwhelmed!" Zhang Erdao: "Maybe the money will come out after a beating." ”

Li De smiled, a yin smile. Mu'er couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "Master De, I really don't have any money, if I have money, I will definitely give Master De tea to drink." In the future, I will definitely give, I will definitely give ......"

"This kid has itchy skin, scratch him first!" As soon as Li De slapped him, Mu'er was knocked to the ground. Li De grabbed his collar again, lifted it and said: "In the future, Master De will be good to you, not this time, this time the master will help you scratch the itch!" He slammed it on the ground again.

When Zhang Er saw it, he hurriedly went up and kicked Mu'er in the stomach a few times. Mu'er covered her stomach in pain and bent up.

Li De stopped Zhang Er and said, "Mu'er, stand up." ”

Mu'er slowly stood up, covering her stomach with her hands, her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood.

Li De stretched out his hand, touched Mu'er's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu'er, how about being a man, you must know how to be grateful to Dade, I am educating you." People have to know how many pounds and taels they have, even if you are the supervisor, but I am still your father. He stretched out his other hand and grabbed Mu'er's collar, and after slapping his face a few times with his face, he said slowly: "Brother Mu'er, you remember, your master is Niu Ba, the adopted son of Mrs. Xu, does Mrs. Xu know who it is?" The cooking lady of the Li Mansion, you are the subordinate of the subordinate, who is the master? It's the second son! With a push, Mu'er was dragged to the wall of the courtyard gate and fell to the ground.

The numbness on his face and the pain in his stomach made Mu'er feel dizzy. This is not what really scares him, what makes him afraid is that Li De will often ask him for money in the future? Will he be beaten often? Didn't you say that Niu Ba was already a son, why was he still a subordinate, how could he become a subordinate? What should I do in the future?

Li De rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to continue, but Zhang Er hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice: "Brother De, don't fight, he is the director of the old lady, if he is killed in the mansion, this matter will be difficult." ”

Li De nodded when he heard this, stepped forward to mention Mu'er, and said, "Brother Mu'er, what about Master De, don't say much, remember to invite Master De to tea next time." ”

Mu'er struggled to stand up, and said tremblingly: "One...... Definitely, definitely. ”

Li De smiled and nodded, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Mu'er's mouth, wiped his hands on Mu'er, and said, "Brother Mu'er, what's wrong with you?" It's got blood all over your mouth, and this dirt on your body? ”

Mu'er was dizzy for a while, hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the wall, and said with a difficult smile: "Master De, the little one...... The little one has passed this door...... Fell, fell. ”

"I fell, Brother Mu'er, didn't you say you, why are you so careless when you walk, you have to watch and walk in the future." Li De patted Mu'er's shoulder, laughed, raised his hand to Zhang Eryang, and the two walked away.
