5. What everyone expects
Even Qiao Baozhu's relationship with her sister seems to be reversed.
Touching her cheeks, Qiao Siwan regretted that she didn't carry the bottle of leftover medicine that Jiang Chi had sent.
It doesn't matter what she does, she's just worried about the little bun.
As the night came, the house became darker and darker, Qiao Siwan rummaged through it, but she couldn't even find a candle, let alone someone to deliver food.
Tighten your belt a few points and continue to sit in a daze.
Woo woo, the thigh housekeeper will definitely not come, he tried his best to sneak into Qiao's house as a housekeeper, how could he do something that would make Qiao suspicious, it seems that he can only be hungry.
I don't know how long I'll be locked up.
When the sky was completely dark, Qiao Siwan was so hungry that she simply lay on the ground to sleep, as long as she fell asleep, she was not hungry.
In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and in a daze, she seemed to hear a slight noise, and woke up suddenly.
Qiao Siwan didn't sit up immediately, she couldn't see anything in the darkness in front of her, and not long after, there was another friction sound.
Someone is priing the door!
She hurriedly rolled on the spot, originally wanting to roll under the table, but she didn't grasp the position, but her head hit the corner of the table and made a bang, and the door of the ancestral hall also opened.
"Hero, spare your life! I'm just a little person who was punished in the ancestral hall, the Qiao family doesn't have any good things except for the eldest lady and the second young master, whether you want to steal something or something, I promise that I didn't see it and I won't tell others. Heroes spare their lives! ”
Qiao Siwan lowered her voice and covered her sore head, kneeling on the ground, especially like a passerby who desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
If it's ugly, it's ugly, and it's cowardly, as long as it's not really clicked into passers-by.
She hadn't eaten two meals, and she wanted to raise her head a little to nod her head, but she was a little dizzy, her body threw forward, and she was in a hurry to grab something.
Finally grabbing a piece of fabric, Qiao Siwan's body continued to lean forward, and her hands hugged the hero's legs.
This way of welcoming was too warm, Jiang Chi subconsciously raised his foot and was about to kick, this girl almost pulled his pants down!
But the swollen face of the day flashed in front of him, and this kick did not go down.
"Get out of here!" He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If you don't want to die, shut up!" ”
"Hmm." Qiao Siwan hurriedly stood up, covered her mouth with her hand to indicate that she would never make a sound, and stood in the corner next to her, so as not to get in the way of other people's affairs, what if she was in a bad mood and changed her mind.
The hero wears a night coat and covers his face, so he can't see his face, but he is tall.
Just now, Qiao Siwan touched someone's calf tight, and she thought that she dared to visit the Taishou Mansion at night, and she must be strong in martial arts.
"What, hero, what are you looking for, do you need me to help you?"
"Shut up!"
Okay, okay, Qiao Siwan shut up, she was just curious about what the cheap dad had in his hands that could attract masters.
If that book is finished, isn't it even more invincible, where do you have to stay here and live this kind of wronged life.
The masked man searched the front and back of the offering table, but it seemed that he had found nothing, and the subordinates of the Taishou Mansion suddenly shouted.
"There are thieves, catch thieves!"
Sporadic lights lit up in the Taishou Mansion and became noisy.
"Hero, you ......" was discovered.
Before the last few words were finished, Qiao Siwan's arm was grabbed and pulled over, followed by a pain in her neck and loss of consciousness.
Waiting for the subordinates and Qiao Li to arrive, they saw that the door of the ancestral hall was open, Qiao Siwan fainted on the ground, and the so-called thief had long been unable to find it.
The Taishou Mansion made a fuss all night, and Qiao Li asked people to search all the places in the mansion but did not find the thief, and it was almost dawn before it quieted down.
Only Qiao Siwan, who was printed, slept well, and she didn't have to stay in the ancestral hall anymore.
"Sister, Siyuan hurt my sister again," Qiao Siyuan felt very guilty, "In the future, except for my sister, Siyuan won't listen to anyone." ”
Tears kept rolling down.
Qiao Siwan's neck still hurts a little, but she is a blessing in disguise.
"Sister doesn't blame you, but can you tell me what happened that day, how did you get to Erniang's Wutong Courtyard?"
The whole thing is weird.
Although Qiao Siyuan was a little dumbfounded, he didn't have many eyes, and he couldn't tell many things, but he was afraid of Yu Meiniang and Qiao Baozhu.
It's too late to hide, how can you take the initiative to run there to play.
Xiao Baozi struggled to recall and organize the language, "Yes...... There is a young lady who I don't know, saying that Erniang's younger brother is also my brother, but it's funny, Erniang is not there, let me go to my brother to play, and teach me to hug him, and then something happened. ”
"I told Erniang, but I couldn't find the girl. I just hugged my brother and didn't want to drop him. ”
This is clearly a calculation!
But Qiao Siwan couldn't think of who it was.
Poppy, Qiao Baozhu?
Qiao Baozhu is a little clever, but if he wants to find someone to trouble, he doesn't even need a reason, and he won't play this kind of dark detour.
Qiao Baolin is Yu Meiniang's life, and he pointed to this son to inherit the Qiao family's property, and Qiao Li obviously attached great importance to it.
If Qiao Siyuan really didn't hold it well and fell and had a problem, the risk was too great, and he was really angry and anxious, not like pretending.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, her and Xiao Baozi's faces are still swollen.
I learned that I did ask the doctor to prescribe medicine yesterday, and I applied ointment to him and myself, and I will talk about it when my face is better.
Qiao Siwan has not been idle in the past few days of recuperation.
The late mother Chen enlightened her, and Qiao Siwan pinned her hopes on Qiao Siyuan and taught him to read and write.
What is gratifying is that Xiao Baozi seems to be stupid, but he has a unique hobby for words and books.
When it comes to the above things, it is still the way of the head, and it is not as slow as usual.
It's just that the embroidery work is just a hard-earned money, and the books are expensive, so you can only buy old ones if you save them for a long time.
"Have you finished what I said?"
Qiao Siwan found the yellow paper and black charcoal strips for medicinal purposes, and used the little bun to help her record it, and wrote a large article.
Although she has the memory to know how to write the characters here, it is too ugly to try, and it is better to be a child who always scratches and pulls on the ground.
"It's over, but sister, what's the use of these, I've eaten melon seeds, what are spiced melon seeds? There are also small twists, biscuits...... What are they? ”
Small snacks and things to make a fortune, of course!
Qiao Siwan folded it and put it away, so that he was not allowed to say a word to others.
"I'm sure I won't say it."
After the previous incident, Qiao Siyuan no longer dared not listen to her words and did not dare to trust people.
In my mind, I almost equate listening to others with harming my sister.
"Miss, the housekeeper asked you to get the monthly money!" Someone in the yard shouted, but he didn't care if the people in the house heard it, and he left after shouting.
In the past, the monthly money of the two sisters and brothers was sent after being deducted by the subordinates, and only one or two hundred wen was left, and it really brought them benefits to Jiang Chi in exchange for Jiang Chi.
Truly golden thighs!
Xiao Baozi had to follow, and the faces of the two were not yet complete, but at least they could see people.
When they got there, there weren't many people left to receive the money.
"This is the eldest lady and the second young master's." Jiang Chi handed her two taels of silver.
So there are so many!
Qiao Siwan thanked him and took it, his fingers just touched Jiang Chi's fiery palm, and he quickly withdrew it.
"Where's Steward Jiang? I'm going to find a housekeeper to judge, and this month's money is clearly wrong! ”
Someone was noisily rushing to this side, and Jiang Chi saw her there, and pulled Qiao Siwan.
"Steward Jiang, my monthly money is miscalculated! Obviously, it should be 600 wen per month, but why only 450 wen is sent, which is too much! ”
The housekeeper remembered that he blushed and threw the money on the table, "If you don't figure it out for me, I'll go to the master!" ”
Someone next to him chimed in, "Yes, although we work for the house, there are also old and young people in the family, and they are all waiting for money, and not a penny is missing!" ”
Someone else said, "The old butler has never missed it, did you put it in your pocket?" Young people just can't do it, it's better to let someone else do it! ”
For a while, there was a lot of noise.
Qiao Siwan didn't believe that Jiang Chi would make such a low-level mistake, she turned sideways, looked behind the subordinate, and sure enough, she saw a middle-aged man wearing the subordinate's costume standing under the eaves not far away.
"Hey!"
She pulled Jiang Chi's clothes and motioned to look over there, if she remembered correctly, Yu Meiniang should have had another choice for the housekeeper, but Jiang Chi came halfway and squeezed that person's seat.
Jiang Chi didn't clearly stand on Yu Meiniang's side at first, which annoyed Yu Meiniang, so he made trouble for him everywhere.
Among them, the alternate housekeeper named Wei Mingguang's bookkeeper has made a lot of efforts, and it should be him.
That beautiful beard with Wen Wen's quiet appearance, the corners of his eyes are a little evil, but his heart is full of bad water, it must be him!
Jiang Chi pulled the clothes out of her hand, this girl, why doesn't she look like a girl, she always pulls and pulls.
Qiao Siwan was angry, this person, she told the villain behind him, and she still hated it!
She continued to poke him in the arm, Jiang Chi had actually seen the man, but Qiao Li warned him twice, so he didn't want to have anything more on his face, so he moved to the side.
"Okay, what's your name, I'll check it for you."
"Check what, you must have miscalculated, hurry up and send me the less money, otherwise you will go to the master!" That subordinate is quite powerful, and he is not afraid of Jiang Chi at all.
However, he wanted to scare Jiang Chi in a few words, but the people behind him still thought he was too weak.
"You're wrong? Then this butler will simply let you be the one. ”
"I ...... I'm not right, I'm illiterate! If you want to be Mr. Wei Mingguang, he is the best in the house! ”
Qiao Siwan withdrew her hand, okay, it's still a powerful boss, and she cheated out in a few words, so she didn't need to remind herself.
"The villain can only pull the abacus to make an account room, how can he have such a big ability, don't talk about Wang Er. Steward Jiang has not been in the house for a long time, and he may not have read so many accounts, even if he is wrong, he shouldn't talk like this! ”
Wei Mingguang saw that the idiot had actually summoned himself, so he could only come over and pretend that he had just heard it.
He also said to Jiang Chi, "Steward Jiang, don't be angry with these illiterate old men, they only have their own money in their heads, but they don't have many bad intentions." ”
In a few words, all the good people inside and outside let him take possession.
Because they are all solid eyes, what they say is extraordinarily simple and credible?
So he, Wei Mingguang, is more suitable to be a housekeeper in the hearts of his subordinates?
