Chapter 207: Waiting for the money
Zhang Da wailed and rubbed it from the quilt and jumped up, grinning his teeth and covering the place where he was beaten, and looking at Gu viciously.
Gu Shi looked at his palm and then at Zhang Da, and suddenly reached out to pull Zhang Da's ear.
"Okay, you big one, say! Didn't you go where to fool around and get cleaned up, ah?! ”
Zhang Da endured the pain and reached out to cover Gu's mouth.
"Be quiet, be quiet, you want to make trouble and everyone in the palace will hear it?!"
"Whew! A little bit? You're afraid that people will say that you're sneaking around outside! Isn't it the same vixen from last time? Yes? You told me! ”
"Shhh
Zhang Da finally broke Gu's hand to save his ears, ran to the door, opened a crack and looked outside, made sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then carefully closed the door, walked to the bed, reached into the quilt and touched it a few times, took out a few silver tickets from the quilt, and handed them to Gu.
When Gu Shi looked at the silver tickets, there were four or five silver tickets ranging from twenty-two, fifty-two, and one hundred taels, and he was immediately surprised and delighted.
"This, this, this...... Where did this come from? What windfall have you made? ”
"Hey-hey, I made a windfall, I almost put my life into it for this silver ticket, and you beat and pinched, it hurt me to death."
Gu Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to rub Zhang Da with a flattering face, and the thick fleshy palm waved over Zhang Da and shrank instinctively, but in the end he still couldn't help but dodge.
"Tell me where the money came from? Is there anything else? ”
Zhang Da glanced at Gu Shi and sighed, told what happened to him for a day, and finally couldn't help but pat his thigh, and suddenly his eyebrows and eyes were distorted in pain.
"So, if it weren't for the prince of the Qingguo Mansion, now we would have a thousand taels of silver?"
"But no, what a turtle bastard, relying on people to bully me one more, otherwise I will definitely send the money to my little sister, and then go to ...... with the money I won."
Zhang Da keenly sensed the murderous aura in Gu's eyes, and the last sentence of going to Xie Yufang to have a good drink turned around his mouth and swallowed it.
Gu Shi looked at the few silver tickets in his hand and then thought about the one that was snatched away, and suddenly couldn't be happy.
"No, what you were robbed of was not only won, but also the money our mother gave to my little sister!"
Gu Shi looked at her husband who was rubbing his waist, and when he thought of that powerful mother-in-law, he immediately panicked.
"What's that? If you let my mother know that you didn't send money......"
Zhang Da sighed heavily and glanced at Gu.
"My mother came before you came back, and I didn't dare to tell her the truth, so I said that the money had been delivered. The little sister will ask for more blessings, speaking of which I am also kind, I can give her more if I win, in fact, I did win a lot, but I was robbed, and my mother and little sister want to blame the prince of the Qingguo Mansion. ”
Zhang Da really couldn't bear it, he was about to sleep with a yawn, Gu wanted to say something more, but when he thought that Zhang Da had already lied, anyway, it was his mother and son, and Yuan knew that he couldn't do anything about Zhang Da when he was angry, so he simply washed and slept.
On the Zhuangzi of the Huaiwang Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, Mingyue looked at the simple houses, the shiny tables and chairs, and refused to sit.
After wandering around the inside and outside of the Zhuangzi, he found a few better rooms, so he went to the steward to change rooms.
The servants in charge of the Huai Wangfu for generations who are accustomed to Zhuangzi are very disdainful of the maid in front of them.
"Miss Mingyue, the princess sent you here to avoid the limelight, not to enjoy the blessings, the house can't be changed, if you feel that you can't live there, there is a firewood house, a donkey shed and a horse pen to see."
Mingyue stared at the steward with round eyes and snorted, her teeth grinding and gurgling.
"Do you know who I am and who my mother is? My mother is the nurse of the princess Niangniang, and the entire Huaiwang Mansion is my mother's most respectful except for a few masters, you dare to do this to me?! ”
"Ouch, Miss Mingyue, you also said that your mother is the most respectful in the Huaiwang Mansion, except for the masters, but we are not the Huaiwang Mansion here."
"That's it! What is it, as soon as it comes, it wants to summon people?! ”
"Those who are disgusted with the East and the West really regard themselves as masters? It's really the heart of the master, but it's a pity that it's fried leeks and green onions. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's for nothing."
"Hahahaha"
Mingyue listened to the surrounding mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law singing and making fun of herself, her face turned red instantly, and the steward looked at Mingyue who was crying, her eyes rolled, she reached out and patted her shoulder, Mingyue raised her eyes and glared at the steward, and took three steps back.
The steward withdrew his hand and rubbed his nose, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in his palm, and his heart fluttered, looking at Mingyue's eyes bent.
"Miss Mingyue, it's not that I refuse to change it for you, it's okay to live in these better rooms, but you have to take out some...... Shut these people's mouths, right? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll change rooms for you with the front foot, and they'll spit out some nasty words from their back feet, you say. ”
Of course, Mingyue knew that she had come to this strange place, and she had to pay for it to have a good life, but she was in a hurry before, and she didn't have anything of value on her, and even that small package only put a change of clothes, and before she hurriedly went out, her mother specially said that it would be good to endure it for a few days, but she didn't expect the conditions here to be so poor, and she couldn't bear it for a moment.
"I came in a hurry and didn't have time to pack up, so there is nothing valuable to honor you, just the two bracelets on your hand are okay, you take them first, my mother will send someone to bring me silver soon, and you will be indispensable when the time comes." You also know that I am only here to stay temporarily, if I am wronged and I go back to put on your little shoes, your life will be even more difficult, think about it. ”
The steward looked at a jade bracelet and a golden shrimp bracelet that Mingyue took off, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take it.
"Cheng, then let's make room for Miss Mingyue first, and when Miss Mingyue is developed, remember to reward us with some broth to drink."
Mingyue nodded with crooked eyebrows and carried a small package into a more comfortable, spacious and clean room, closed the door and began to sit on the edge of the bed and wait, waiting for the Yuan family to send someone to deliver it, according to her understanding of the Yuan family, she must not allow her body to suffer a little.
However, until it was dark, Mingyue did not wait for the people of the Yuan family to send silver, and by the time of dinner, the people on the Zhuangzi saw that their expressions had changed, and the dishes for dinner were much worse than those for lunch, and even the heat was not much higher.
The steward looked at the candle-lit room, turned his head and said a few words to the people behind him, and the people behind him took the order.
"Little girl, she's quite good at pulling tiger skins, if no one comes in two days, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the Huaiwang Mansion where you eat and drink spicy food."
The steward finished muttering to himself, and left whistling behind his back.
