Chapter 115: Stealing Purses
Gu Chunyan was distressed about the fifty taels of silver, and she was even more upset when she heard the noise outside, she opened the door and shouted: "What's the noise, don't you think the house is messy enough?" ”
Don't look at Gu Chunyan's age, but since she followed Xu Heming, everyone in the family looked up to her, but everyone in the family listened to what she said.
Xu Cui'e stopped hatefully, turned around and went back to the house to throw out the dresses, shoes and socks sprinkled with rancid water, and yelled: "Wu Xiangqin, wash them all for me, there can't be any smell at all!" ”
Wu Xiangqin pitifully bent down to pick up the clothes that her mother-in-law threw off, wiped a few handfuls of tears, put them in a large wooden basin, and shouted to her mother-in-law's house: "I'll go to the river to wash clothes, and let Chunyan make lunch." ”
Gu Chunyan was pacing around the house angrily, and when she heard this, she suddenly stopped, she was the future young lady of the Xu Mansion, how could she do such rough work as cooking, guarding the stove and smoking, but don't smoke her delicate face.
She shouted, "Sister-in-law, you wait for me, and I will also go to the river to wash my clothes." ”
Xu Cui'e changed her clothes and came out, her face was annoyed, and she made excuses not to cook one by one, just waiting for her, the old lady, to cook herself.
Wu Xiangqin smiled at Gu Chunyan diligently, "Sister, sister-in-law will help you wash your clothes when she goes to do the laundry, so you don't have to run again." ”
Gu Chunyan waved her hand: "How can it be done, my sister-in-law has enough work in her hands, how can I be embarrassed to do you again." Besides, I haven't been home for the past few days, and I've saved a lot of dirty clothes, and my sister-in-law is too tired to wash them. ”
With that, the two walked out of the house side by side.
Knowing that Duran was framed, the restless Zhao family couldn't stay at home for a moment, so she decided to go to visit Duran, and if Duran woke up, she would return the token to Duran in person and tell her about her background.
Zhao dragged his weak body towards Du Lan's house, and as he walked, he suddenly met two uninvited guests, Wu Xiangqin and Gu Chunyan, who were going to the river to wash their clothes.
Wu Xiangqin and Gu Chunyan saw Zhao staggering over, the two looked at each other and smiled, and quickly stepped forward to block Zhao's way.
"Yo, isn't this my aunt? Where are you dragging this sick body up? Gu Chunyan laughed sarcastically.
Duran had a stalemate with the Gu family, and the Zhao family naturally didn't want to pay more attention to them, so he took a step forward and planned to leave.
Gu Chunyan intercepted her again, contemptuously mocking: "Aunt Zhao, let's go home, your precious daughter is now being bent over by the goblin, and it is very dangerous for you to be alone outside." ”
Zhao was slightly angry: "You are talking nonsense, you are the goblins!" My daughter is much kinder and more upright than you goblins with human faces and beast hearts. ”
Hearing this, Wu Xiangqin put the wooden basin on her waist, freed up one hand, grabbed Zhao's clothes and pushed it back and forth, "Who do you say is the goblin, you can try it again, see if I don't tear your mouth!" ”
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhao is weak and can't help it, how can she withstand your push like this." Gu Chunyan covered her lips and sneered.
Wu Xiangqin was stunned for a moment, but turned her head and saw Gu Chunyan smiling lightly, and then she understood that she was thinking that she was using her strength too little. Zhao had no power to fight back, she was so dizzy that she was shaken, her steps staggered, Wu Xiangqin was even more unscrupulous, she said disrespectfully: "Sister, this kind of angry bag was born to be bullied, let's not bully her, I'm sorry for her weak appearance." ”
After saying that, he pushed vigorously with disdain, and directly pushed Zhao to the ground.
An embroidered purse fell to the ground from Zhao's body, Gu Chunyan had good eyesight, and followed Xu Heming for a few days, and at a glance, he could see that the purse was of high quality, and it was something of value that might be filled inside.
She laughed and trembled, and while secretly looking at Zhao's expression, she was snorting Xiao Jiujiu. If Zhao didn't find out, she would secretly pick it up and take it for herself.
"Hahaha, what my sister-in-law said is reasonable."
The Zhao family was embarrassed, Wu Xiangqin became even worse, she was just angry with her mother-in-law, and she couldn't wait to sprinkle all her anger on the Zhao family.
Zhao struggled to get up from the ground, Wu Xiangqin was still angry, and immediately kicked again, and there was no doubt that Zhao fell to the ground again.
"You, you wait and see, wait for me to tell Lan Lan, she will never spare you easily." She glared at both of them resentfully.
Gu Chunyan's eyes turned slightly, Zhao definitely hadn't noticed it yet, she stepped forward quickly, and took the opportunity of pretending to support Zhao to hold her purse in her hand without a trace.
"Aunt Zhao, are you okay, my sister-in-law is neither light nor heavy, don't take it to heart." Gu Chunyan smiled hypocritically and helped Zhao up.
Zhao Shi thought of Gu Chunyan's cunning thoughts, and shook Gu Chunyan away in disgust: "You don't have a cat crying mouse fake mercy, I don't need your dirty hands to help." ”
Gu Chunyan didn't laugh angrily, "Yes, my hands are dirty, then Aunt Zhao can take care of herself." ”
Wu Xiangqin froze in place in confusion, she couldn't understand what trick Gu Chunyan was playing anymore, just now it was obvious that she instigated herself to bully the Zhao family, why did she step forward to support the Zhao family like a kind person in the blink of an eye?
"Sister-in-law, let's do the laundry." Gu Chunyan glanced at Zhao proudly, then turned around and walked briskly towards the river.
Wu Xiangqin also snorted coldly and followed with a large wooden basin.
After the two of them walked away, Zhao got up from the ground, leaned over and looked at the dust all over his body, hating himself for being too angry, how could he see Duran in such an embarrassment? With a sigh, she hung her head and went back to her house.
Gu Chunyan succeeded, and she was both excited and curious, what kind of treasure was in her purse? When she arrived at the river, she secretly opened it to take a look while Wu Xiangqin was washing clothes.
I saw that inside was a piece of pale pink hibiscus jade carving with a warm color, and the flower posture was soft, although she didn't know jewelry and jade, she also knew that this piece of jade was not low.
She was ecstatic in her heart, threw fifty taels of silver, and picked up a piece of beautiful jade, is it considered a blessing in disguise? Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she squatted down again to wash her clothes, and only when she was beautiful enough did she suddenly think of a question, why is there such a beautiful jade in an ordinary woman of the Zhao family?
Thinking back to the fact that she was eagerly rushing in the direction of Duran's house with her dilapidated body just now, could it be that there was some secret to this piece of jade?
No matter what you think, she shouldn't have such a beautiful jade, could this jade be related to Duran?
The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, Duran was suddenly not stupid, what happened in this? Or was Duran pretending to be crazy and stupid before? Why did she do this?
calmly put down her thoughts, no matter what, this piece of jade will belong to her in the future, and it is impossible for it to fall into Duran's hands again.
Yes, you can't!
Today, Daoist Lin was beaten by the surnamed Xue and fled, and Duran had no fear. Daoist Lin is indeed a well-known demon catcher, and he shouldn't be mistaken. Regardless of whether Duran is a demon or not, she wants the villagers to recognize Duran as a demon.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.
"Sister-in-law, please Daoist Lin this time, you and your eldest brother also took out a lot of money, right?"
"Of course, all our belongings have been taken out, Du Lan is very evil, since she came to the Gu family, she has been against us everywhere, I wish she was captured by the Taoist priest. Alas! It's a pity for my silver! Wu Xiangqin rubbed her clothes hatefully a few times.
Gu Chunyan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you go and invite Daoist Lin again, we can't fall short, I will wash the clothes, and I will also pay the money." As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot of fifty taels from his body.
Wu Xiangqin had never seen such a big silver ingot, so she was immediately dumbfounded, "Swallow...... You still have such a big silver ingot? ”
Gu Chunyan smiled embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I use this money for emergencies, after all, every time I go out with Xu Ergongzi, I can't let the family pay for it every time......"
"Well, that is. We can't let people look down on us. It's just that....... Why are you willing to pay so much money for Daoist Lin alone? Wu Xiangqin was puzzled.
Gu Chunyan didn't explain much, just stuffed the silver ingot into her hand and advised: "Be sure to let Daoist Lin point out that Duran is a demon, only by catching her, we will have a good life in the future." ”
Wu Xiangqin held the heavy silver, and was panicked for a while, how good would it be if she had so much money in her life?
"Sister-in-law? Rest assured, as long as I have a good life in the future, I will definitely help my mother's family and my two nephews from time to time. Don't say fifty taels when the time comes, five hundred taels is trivial. Gu Chunyan coaxed sweetly.
Wu Xiangqin's eyes were full of smiles after hearing this, but she was happy, she was not dazed, she always felt that Gu Chunyan was a little strange today, she was puzzled: "Sister, why don't you go in person?" Give me these fifty taels of silver, don't you worry? ”
Gu Chunyan smiled: "I've been used to riding in a carriage recently, and my legs have become lazy, so sister-in-law will go, and next time I come back from Luo'an City, I will bring you beautiful new clothes." ”
Wu Xiangqin's heart is moved, new clothes? She hadn't changed her clothes for a few years, and even if she had two copper coins in her hand, she didn't dare to buy clothes to wear under the surveillance of her mother-in-law.
The sister-in-law will have a future in the future, and Wu Xiangqin complimented: "I think our swallows are rich and powerful, and you will be asked to run errands." ”
After speaking, he rubbed his body a few times with a smile and turned around to leave.
"Slow, this is Daoist Lin's talisman, you wear it on your body." Gu Chunyan handed over a yellow talisman.
Wu Xiangqin smiled even brighter, "My sister is becoming more and more considerate, then I'll go back quickly, while the sun is in full bloom, I guess the demons don't dare to come out and make trouble." ”
The sky was getting dark, Gu Zhiping's house locked the door early, and the family was eating dinner, when they suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door, Xu Cui'e was frightened: "The master, it won't be the demon who came to the door, right?" ”
Gu Zhiping's face was full of fright, "No...... No way? ”
