???? Mei Zhigao originally took it out to scare people, but he didn't think that anyone would dare to ask for it, but when he saw that someone really wanted it, he quickly put it in his arms, "This kind of little insect is very scary, don't ask for it third sister, it's not good if you are scared." ”

Ruohong also knew that he wanted to scare people with insects, so as to avoid taking money, but she was very interested in the crickets, she heard from the farmers that the crickets could live for four or five years if they were raised, plus the breeding methods she heard from the farmers, she wanted to practice.

"I'm not afraid, I'll just want that cricket." Saying that, she actually played like a child.

Several girls looked at Ruohong with strange eyes, how could she like something like insects. It's scary!

Mei Zhiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, looked at Mei Zhigao and said: "The third sister wants it, you just give it to her, it's just a little bug, is it worth messing with your sister?" ”

"Big brother really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, do you know how much silver this cricket has? Don't talk about the price, just say ...... Forget it, I won't tell you. Mei Zhigao was a little anxious, almost uncovered the old bottom, quickly closed his mouth, leaned back in the chair and didn't speak.

"I want it too." Mei Zhishu shouted.

"Play with your cloth tiger." Mei Zhigao turned his body to the side, avoiding the gaze of several people.

"I bought the cricket, a hundred taels of silver." Ruoxue said.

Ruoxue raised her beautiful big eyes to look at Mei Zhigao, she saw the look in her sister's eyes, and it was the first time she had seen that kind of look.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes all looked at Ruoxue, just a small insect, no matter how much it was worth a hundred taels of silver.

Mei Zhigao sat up straight and looked at Ruoxue with greed, "Eldest sister really wants to buy it?" "He has been carrying this little cricket for two or three days, but he didn't hear it call, and he was afraid that the cricket would die one day, so he would pay a piece of high-quality Hui ink.

That piece of ink was a birthday gift from his second uncle, and he was reluctant to use it, but for the sake of this cricket, he really couldn't take out the silver, so he took out the piece of ink.

"Really."

"One hundred taels?"

"One hundred taels."

"Big niece daughter, don't be deceived by him." Tao Zhe leaned forward, and said with an expression of great loss: "Although I don't know how much that cricket is worth, I guess it will not exceed twenty taels of silver at most." One hundred taels, you have lost a lot. ”

"It's okay, if I go out of my hand and into the hands of my second brother, it's still the Mei family's silver." Ruoxue said with a smile.

Tao Zhe was stunned for a moment and leaned back into the chair, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "Yes, I have become a wicked person!" He said.

Everyone laughed, and the cheerful atmosphere rippled through the room.

??????

Mrs. Cao also looked at them with a smile, she was better at one thing, that is, she never participated in the disputes of her grandchildren, whether it was an object or something else in the dispute, what the outcome of the dispute was, who benefited from the dispute, and who lost something because of the dispute, she did not judge.

This is also what the children are willing to be with her, where the children can argue about things without hesitation, and it is much better to say something straight than to be slandered in the back.

Mrs. Cao felt in the children's arguments that she was full of vitality and vigorous youth, which she had before, and after years of struggle, the vigor and vitality in her body had been dispersed.

????????“ I don't want it. "Ruohong doesn't want to be a bug, and then owe Ruoxue a favor, or someone who doesn't know when she can pay it off.

Back at Guanfangyuan, Ruohong went into the house to read the tome of history books, and she found a lot of similarities from it, which was similar to the ancient times of the world she lived in.

Not long after Ruoxue returned to the house, a servant woman from the outer courtyard replied at the second gate, saying that someone had sent her something and a letter, and asked the maid in the courtyard to go out and collect it.

After a while, Peony came back with a delicate bamboo basket, "Miss, you promise you can't guess what was sent?" She said.

A few maids under the porch also followed her in, all wanting to see what was in the basket, and curiously surrounded the peony and asked, "What?" ”

"Who sent it?"

"It's fruit, or you don't have to cover it with a quilt?"

"Are you afraid of freezing, or afraid of the cold, and cover it with a small quilt!"

Peony put the basket on the table, and when she saw Ruoxue coming, she took two steps back, and several other people also took two steps away, waiting for Ruoxue to come and check.

Ruohong also came over to see the sound of talking, and when she entered the house, she saw the delicate basket, "What is this?" ”

The emerald green basket is about a foot (30 centimeters) high and a foot and a half (50 centimeters) in diameter, and you can see from the hollow that it is covered with a green silk brocade quilt covered with a small pink quilt.

Not only the basket is exquisite, but also the two small quilts inside.

Ruoxue didn't look at what was in the basket first, and asked, "Didn't you say there was another letter?" ”

The peony was pulled out of her sleeve and handed it through with both hands.

"What?"

Ruohong couldn't help but be curious, reached out and lifted the small quilt on it, the snow-white plush was nested in the basket, the quilt was lifted, and the hairy ball also climbed up.

"Meow ......"

"Yikes!"

Several exclamations sounded at the same time, and several maids moved forward, but Ruohong took a step back, and when she turned her head and saw Ruoxue holding the letter in a daze, she walked over and tilted her head to see what was written on the letter.

It turned out that Huang Fei, who was fighting with Tao Zhe, wrote it by his eldest brother, saying that his younger brother should not compete with his relatives in the house for the cat, and he apologized to the Mei family on behalf of his brother and returned the cat to the house.

In order to show his sincerity, he invited the young master and young lady in the mansion to go to Honghu Pavilion for dinner. The signature is Huang Ji.

"What's wrong?" Ruohong asked.

Ruoxue put the letter in the cover and said, "It was Huang Ji's younger brother who fought with Uncle Tao yesterday. ”

Ruohong thought about who Huang Ji was, and remembered that Huang Ji was the husband in her sister's dream, "Let people send the cat back." She said.

"Well, Lianxin, you send the cat to Uncle Tao, along with this letter." Ruoxue said to Lianxin

She didn't want to have anything to do with Huang Ji, but she couldn't! In the future, if you have to do business with the Huang family, it is unrealistic to think that there is really no intersection.

Lian Xin answered the letter, lifted the bamboo basket surrounded by several people, covered the small quilt on it, and carried it to the guest house.

A few maids looked reluctant, seeing Lianxin carry it out, what a cute little kitten! I haven't seen enough of it, so I sent it away.

Ruoxue pulled her sister into the inner room and let the girls continue to discuss the cat.

She and Ruohong sat on the kang and pushed the account books on the table to Ruohong, "Yesterday you frowned when you looked at the account books, I didn't see anything wrong after reading it once, you tell me what was wrong." She said.
