Chapter 31: The Great Mouse

Of course, Jiang Liu was not hurt, she reached out and wrapped her arms around the nurse's neck, "Thirsty." ”

"It's all the slave to blame, I didn't hear the girl get up." Zhao Qingling blamed himself and shouted, "Shuqiu, go get water." ”

Shuqiu, who was washing clothes outside with his sleeves rolled, hurriedly answered, and ran out.

Zhao Qingling saw that the girl was not injured, so she dressed her and cleaned up the broken pottery pieces on the ground with a broom, "The day after tomorrow, the old lady has a birthday, there is no firewood to boil water in the small kitchen of our yard today, the girl bears with it, Shuqiu runs fast, and will be back in a while." ”

The birthday of the elders is a major event in the family, and the Jiang family's already small number of people gather in the north courtyard or kitchen to do things. Zhao Qingling is a clean person, the girl went up the mountain to stay for a month, and when she came back, she removed the bedding and bed curtains in the room, and took advantage of the good sun to clean and dry today.

Seeing that the nurse was holding her sleeves and wearing a cloth towel on her head, Jiang Liu knew that she was busy working in the courtyard, so how could she blame her.

After putting on the small embroidered shoes and going to the ground, Jiang Liu, taking advantage of the nurse's inattention, threw the small cloth tiger placed at the head of the bed on the ground, and then kicked it under the bed.

Before she could call the nurse to help her find it, the cloth tiger actually rolled out from under the bed and returned to her feet. Jiang Liu stared at the cloth tiger at his feet, kicked it in again, and then, the cloth tiger rolled out again!

There must be someone down here! Jiang Liu slowly puffed out his cheeks, not only someone, but this person also coaxed her as a child!

Jiang Liu continued to kick the rag doll and play, and when Shuqiu came back panting and carrying a pot of hot water, Jiang Liu took a few sips of warm water, looked at Shuqiu, and then said with his mouth: "Crow Yin." ”

After Jiang Liu's return to the house, Ya Yin was still left in the house by the second master to guard Jiang Liu. However, the place where he is on an errand now is no longer the door of Jiang Liu's house, but the front yard.

Shuqiu thought that the girl wanted Crow Yin to take them out to play, and happily ran out to find someone. Zhao Qingling was busy patting the soil on the tigers, not paying attention to their small movements.

Ya Yin was quickly called by Shuqiu, and asked at the door of the boudoir, "What do you want the girl to order?" ”

When did the girl call him? Zhao Qingling turned his head to look at Xiao Jiang Liu.

When the crow came, Jiang Liuxin was steady. She lifted her chubby finger and pointed under the bed, "Old-mouse." ”

Tell him to catch mice? Crow Yin didn't know what to say for a while, he only felt that his cattle slaughtering knife had been shrunk several times and turned into a mallet.

There are mice in the room, in case it scares the girl or bites the clothes and bedding is a big deal, Zhao Qingling immediately picked up Jiang Liu, "Shuqiu copy guy, help your Uncle Crow catch mice!" ”

Shuqiu immediately raised his broom, and Raven Yin also rolled up his sleeves and walked in, throwing a stone under the bed, ready to catch a mouse.

Seeing that Ya Yin threw three stones and didn't move, Zhao Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu is running away." ”

No rats, but a big guy! Crow Yin stood far away and saw the corner of his clothes shrunk in under the bed, and instantly changed from a mallet back to a cattle-killing knife! He signaled with his eyes that there was a situation under Zhao Qingling's bed, and asked her to hold Jiang Liu and retreat aside, but his mouth said in a casual manner, "Xu is running away, the little one will go to the front yard to catch a cat and raise it in this house for two days, right?" ”

"Hold a clean and honest one, don't let the cat hurt the girl." Zhao Qingling vigilantly hugged Jiang Liu and walked behind the crow, and beckoned his stupid girl in his mouth, "Shuqiu will go with your Uncle Crow." ”

Hearing that he was going to raise a cat, Shuqiu was happy, "There is a little Sanhua in the sewing room, and it looks good!" ”

"Okay." Jiang Liu's mouth responded, his eyes fixed on the bed.

Crow Yin took the broom in Shuqiu's hand, walked over and stabbed the broom handle into it, and there was a pitch-changing scream from under the bed, which didn't sound like a human could make.

"Mother! This rat will still bark! Shuqiu jumped so high in fright.

Zhao Qingling hugged Jiang Liu tightly and shouted loudly, "What is it?" ”

What can be in the blue sky and white day? Raven Yin knocked on the ground in front of the bed with a broom and threatened him, "Get out!" Otherwiseβ€”"

"Don't beat, don't fight, slave and maid come out, come out ......" With a cry for mercy, a servant woman in a dark brown coarse cloth skirt crawled out from under the bed.

Jiang Liu recognized at a glance that this person was the only remaining coarse woman in the Western Courtyard.

Zhao Qingling's face sank, "Wang Tian's family, didn't you go to the North Courtyard to help, why did you run to the girl's room and hide under the bed?" ”

Wang Tian's daughter-in-law covered her painful side waist, bowed to Jiang Liu, and gestured, "When the slave came back from chopping firewood in the north courtyard, she saw such a big mouse into the girl's room, and she came in to catch the mouse for fear of scaring the girl." Who knew that because she was tired from chopping wood, she fell asleep under the bed, and asked the six girls to forgive her sins. ”

Is she a fool? Jiang Liu's little face tightened and hugged the nurse's neck, "Daddy-daddy." ”

Zhao Qingling nodded, and discussed with Ya Yin, "Tie her up and plug her mouth, and wait for the second master to come back?" ”

Wang Tian's daughter-in-law kowtowed again and again, "Wronged, the slave and maid really came in to catch mice, wronged-"

Ya Yin stepped forward and raised her hand to remove her chin, and then tied the person up quickly, before asking Zhao Qingling, "Where to go?" ”

Zhao Qingling had never seen such a neat work, so he was stunned and said, "Put it in the firewood room first, I bother you to guard the door, and don't let anyone in before the second master comes back." ”

Ya Yin grabbed the rope with one hand and took Wang Tian's daughter-in-law out like a chicken, and Wang Tian's daughter-in-law, who was still noisy and gave people a headache just now, was like a hairy crab that was tied up and couldn't move.

The eyes of the three people in the room were straight.

Such talents must be retained! Jiang Liu clenched his little fist, "Milk-mother!" ”

Zhao Qingling nodded immediately, "When the second master comes back, the slave will give Ya Yin a reward and let the second master give him a monthly increase!" The girl told the slave how you found Wang Tian's daughter-in-law, don't worry, talk slowly. ”

Jiang Liu didn't mention the money box, but just woke her up word by word when she heard a noise under the bed, and she was so frightened that she touched the kettle, and then the little cloth tiger fell under the bed, and the rag doll was pushed out twice.

Shuqiu's eyes widened, "She lied, she didn't fall asleep at all, and she dared to kick the cloth tiger that Mrs. sewed for the girl!" ”

Jiang Liu gently patted the soil on the cloth tiger's body, which was sewn for her by the deceased mother of the little fat girl, and it should be kept properly.

Zhao Qingling also nodded, hugged Jiang Liu and praised, "My girl is as smart as the second master!" ”

Jiang left his hand for a moment. Is the nurse praising her or hurting her? Her father didn't see it when he was smart, but he was real when he wasn't at home. He went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet!

Regarding the matter of the money box under the bed, Jiang Liu felt that he still had to discuss it with his sister before deciding whether to talk about it or not. So, Jiang Liu pretended to be afraid, "I want to be sister-sister." ”

Wang Tian and his wife are the second lady's companions, and this matter should really be talked to the third girl first. Zhao Qingling instructed Shuqiu, "Go to Dicuitang and invite the third girl back, just say...... The six girls were frightened. ”

Before Jiang Muyan came back, her nurse rushed back from the North Courtyard with the news and asked Zhao Qingling why she wanted to arrest Wang Tian's daughter-in-law.

Listening to Zhao Qingling tell what happened, Wang Xiangzhi was stunned, "It should be catching mice, if not, what did she do in the sixth girl's room?" "The sixth girl's room is full of children's things, what good can she get when she comes in?

This is also where Zhao Qingling is puzzled, "So I have to wait for the second master to come back and interrogate clearly." ”

From this point of view, the two nurses didn't know that the young lady hid the money box left by her mother under the bed, and Jiang Liuyi felt that her decision was right.
