The shopkeeper asked for a long time, and the fourth Qian said that he was here to find relatives, and he refused to say anything. Just when the shopkeeper was thinking about whether to report to the owner, a little maid in a pink dress came out of the inner courtyard and pointed to the four fathers and daughters of the old man, and said, "Please two, Mrs. is waiting in the inner courtyard, hurry up."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and showed them the way, Qian Laosi was very happy in her heart, that Xiaocui really lived here, thinking about it like this, and feeling that this maid was talking to herself like this, she was very displeased. coughed vigorously twice, but the maid was not different, but hurried forward.

Ignoring this girl, Qian Laosi deliberately walked very slowly, and also paced in all directions outside the gentleman of the scholar's hometown. The maid still had nothing to say, and walked on her own in front.

Qian Laosi was ruthless, coughed up the old phlegm with a "bah", and spit on the flowers and plants on the side of the road. When the maid saw this, she frowned, and was about to speak. At this time, a mother-in-law came out of the yard, saw the big thick phlegm on the flowers and plants, and quickly fetched water to rinse it, and opened her mouth to scold where did the old horseman come from, such a pickled person, the flowers and plants we planted well are so disgusting.

Qian Laosi saw that the mother-in-law was burly, and the eyebrows and eyes were fierce, and the mother-in-law in the family was not a little kind, so he was cowardly in his heart, so he didn't dare to make a mistake again.

Seeing Qian Laosi, Dian Cui was selected in the tea room, accompanied by the autumn moon and winter snow.

Standing in such a fragrant tea room, seeing a big girl with a calm face making tea, Qian Yueying was a little at a loss, and she didn't dare to look up at the dotted cui above.

Qian Laosi saw a little cui's face, this girl really grew up, and she almost didn't know this white face. Hehe laughed dryly twice, and didn't forget to point to Qiu Yue, who was making tea:

"You girl, just make a cup of tea and find a big bowl of clay pottery to pour hot water, where is the waste of firewood to cook little by little, when will it be boiled? Her sister and I are hungry, go burn me two elbows, don't put too much sugar! ”

He commanded so loudly, Dian Cui did not raise his head, and the maid did not change her expression, cooking tea carefully and carefully.

"You...... Xiaocui, aren't you ...... soon" Qian Laosi pulled his throat and pointed at Cui and shouted.

"Bold!" The winter snow beside Diancui was like frost, full of majesty: "How can our lady wait for you and other small people to dare to call their names, and if you dare to make a second time, you will immediately go out!" ”

Qian Laosi was scolded by her head-on, and he didn't dare to speak out anymore.

Diancui sighed, how did she almost survive when she was bullied by such a fierce and introverted person?

"You should know that I didn't have anything to do with your Qian family three years ago, and now that you want to see me, I could not have seen me, but this is the first time, so I will see you. Seeing that your family is not doing well, it would be best if we could not disturb each other in the future. Diancui took a sip of tea and said indifferently, which means that you don't come to me again in the future.

Where has Qian Laosi ever seen Diancui who talks with his head up and his chest straight like this, if it weren't for that vague appearance of the past, he really wouldn't dare to recognize people casually. dragged Yueying, who was bowing her head and drooping her head, and motioned for her to speak quickly.

"Yueying, you are talking, I haven't seen your sister for many years, why don't you hurry up and talk to your sister...... Just go! Seeing that Qian Yueying didn't move, Qian Laosi panicked with hatred in his heart, but a fake smile appeared on his face.

"Little Cui...... No, sister, you can give your father money, if you don't give him money, I will be sold to someone else's family! Yueying was very loud because she was nervous: "Our family has raised you for ten years, if it weren't for our family, you wouldn't have starved to death long ago, you have to repay this kindness!" ”

This is said very smoothly, why? It's just because I've been at home these days, I've been listening to the nagging of the fourth family like this, and these words have long been engraved in Yueying's heart.

"Yes, yes, as the saying goes, raising grace is greater than giving birth, how can I say that I am also your father, and this Yueying is also your sister, you must not see death without saving it." Qian Laosi hurriedly said.

"How much do you want?" Diancui is silent.

"To ...... To ...... One hundred taels of silver! Qian Laosi gritted his teeth and said.

One hundred taels of silver, it's really a lion's mouth, I'm afraid that the fourth man has never seen so much silver in his life.

Diancui sneered, I really dare to ask for it.

The winter snow behind Diancui also sneered.

Then there was the silence of the room.

Qian Laosi only felt that his scalp was numb in the sneer between Diancui and the two maids, and one hundred taels was really ruthless, so he stammered and said For the sake of our father and daughter, it will be fifty ...... Twenty taels! It couldn't be less.

"Yesterday, you lost a penny of silver in a competition with others for the sake of appetite, but today you came to ask me for twenty taels, do you think that I am so oppressive as the prefect's wife?" Dian Cui's face suddenly turned cold, and he pointed at Qian Yueying and said:

"And you, haven't you seen what a miserable scene your family raised me for ten years, I was able to survive because of my life, and then I used the money I earned to repay the gruel without rice that I ate at the Qian family! If you want to count, when will you compensate me for the internal and external injuries I suffered from those beatings?! ”

Su Rili Diancui was reluctant to think of those days in Qianjia Village, but fortunately, after he was reborn, his heart and eyes rose a little to earn silver to avoid being beaten, but how did he spend those days in front of him, Diancui never mentioned it does not mean that they do not exist.

At that time, Qian Lao and his family had not given birth for many years, and when they saw the female baby who was thrown to the side of the road, they barely gave food to their mouths, and beating and scolding were indispensable. Later, she gave birth to Qian Yueying and her youngest son Qian Shoucai, and Diancui's life was even more difficult, becoming the punching bag of the whole family.

Qiu Yue's hand to make tea was trembling, she was born in the mansion and knew what Madame Diancui had experienced when she was young, but she didn't know that she had suffered so much. Anger made her just want to splash this boiling/hot hot water on the face of Qian Laosi, who was shy and asked for money!

Nian Xiao Yueying also bullied Dian Cui, and she was speechless when she said it. Dian Cui continued: "You said that if I don't give me money, he will sell you, the people of Hangzhou Mansion are rich, if you can really be sold to such a good person's family, it will be a blessing." ”

Qian Laosi and his wife not only regarded Qian Yueying as a loser, but the only thing they cared about was the youngest son.

Diancui said this just to vent his anger, but when he heard that Qian Yueying's ears were a spirit, he no longer asked for Diancui, but stepped forward and pulled Qian Laosi's arm, and said Daddy is about to sell me, and sell me to someone who eats and drinks without worrying about treating his subordinates!

Speaking of which, Qian Yueying has no feelings for her parents, the only thing she lacks in her life is the stuttering, if she goes to a big family to be a subordinate, she will definitely be able to eat well and dress well. Look at the little girl who led the way, she is as old as her, she is well-dressed and clean, and she will definitely be able to eat a full meal.

"You rebel!" Qian Laosi was pulled by Qian Yueying like this, and she was angry, and asked her to come and ask Diancui for some silver money for herself, but she was taken away by Diancui in a few words!

"Sell it to a big family to be a maid, think of beauty!" He and his mother-in-law had already inquired about it, and the family in the suburbs wanted to buy a daughter-in-law for the stupid son of the family, and the money paid was a whole one or two more than the money from selling the maid!

"Let me go!" Qian Laosi angrily grabbed Qian Yueying's arm and was about to go back, Diancui is really ruthless, don't blame him for being unrighteous if she is unkind! Now she is the prefect's wife, but if she wants to be faced, she can be shameless, if he goes out to mess around, after all, people will laugh at her, the prefect's wife, and let her big/big have no face!

"Wait!" Dian Cui seemed to have seen his mind clearly, and said coldly: "I have already broken off with your Qian family, but a few days ago I heard that you dared to climb to me, if there are such rumors again, I will send you all to prison or drive you out of Hangzhou City!" Can you hear clearly? ”

Qian Laosi's neck choked, they are all ordinary people, the most feared is the official of the Yamen, this Cui is the wife of the official family, it really can't be provoked, it seems that the hard one is not hit.

"Cui'er...... Don't worry, we are all honest people, and we won't make trouble and embarrass you. "Qian Laosi changed his face really quickly.

He looked like this, Diancui nodded with satisfaction, and said to Dong Xue to cut a penny of silver with him, Dong Xue took the order and left, Qian Laosi was overjoyed, he originally thought that he couldn't get a penny, but he didn't expect to give back so much money! Immediately smiled, and after getting this money, there was no need to go back to the woman to ask for money, and this scolding was intended to be saved.

Qian Laosi happily pulled Yueying back, but Yueying was worried, the appearance of the pink-clothed maid in front of her always lingered in front of her, how good it would be if one day she could be like her!

Qian Laosi went to the yamen and smoothly handed over the money, and suddenly felt refreshed and faced, and swaggered out of the yamen. Yueying walked with him for a day, she was already hungry and dizzy, and she wanted to eat lard sugar cakes and was scolded by Qian Laosi several times and ran away.

His daughter was scolded by him and ran away, Qian Laosi took out three copper plates from the soles of his shoes, found a noodle stall and asked for a bowl of noodles with shredded meat floating on them.

Yueying thought about the maid's pink skirt in her heart, and walked back to Angelica Pavilion again, not daring to go in at the door. At night, Dian Cui came out of the inner courtyard to look for a shop, just in time to see her leaning on a wooden stake outside, stunned and staring at the well-dressed pedestrians coming and going on the road.

Diancui sighed, knowing that her heart had softened.

"But hungry?" Dian Cui walked up to Qian Yueying and asked lightly.

Qian Yueying didn't speak either, because she didn't know how to talk to such a Dian Cui. When she was a child, she didn't bully Dian Cui a lot, and she didn't beat Dian Cui with a small report to Qian Laosi's family, but now she is not like this because of guilt, but because she is afraid that Dian Cui will retaliate against her.

She didn't, and Dian Cui didn't ask anymore, but only ordered a maid in the inner courtyard to take her to a noodle stall on the street to finish eating noodles. As soon as she heard about eating noodles, Qian Yueying's eyes lit up, and she got up with a grunt and followed the maid

In the following days, Qian Yueying waited in front of the wooden stake outside the shop on time, and the little girl in pink clothes came out to take her to eat noodles, and sometimes bought a piece of yellow rice and honey cake with her. But all these Diancui warned Qian Yueying, telling her not to talk to her family.

In this way, Qian Yueying remembered that when Diancui was still in Qianjia Village, she exchanged an old ginseng for her appetite for two months. I was not so afraid of Diancui in my heart, and occasionally when I saw her come out to look for a store or talk and laugh with another beautiful girl, the corners of Qian Yueying's mouth would also bend.

But once she wanted to come forward to talk to Diancui, but Diancui refused to pay attention to her, and her cold face made her no longer dare to come forward. Although Diancui refused to pay attention to her, she let her eat enough, and she was afraid and dependent on Diancui.
