Chapter 42: Too stingy
After a while, a turtle slave came in with hot water and a tub.
Chunhua and Qiushi wanted to serve Zhong Yuqi to bathe, but Zhong Yuqi refused, only saying that they should be allowed to rest. Chunhua and Qiushi thought that Zhong Yuqi was sympathetic to their hard work, and they were grateful to Zhong Yuqi for a while.
After Zhong Yuqi finished bathing and changed into clean clothes, Zhong Yuqi called Chunhua and Qiushi in.
Zhong Yuqi asked Chunhua: "Is there anything valuable in our house?" ”
Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Back girl, although these objects in our house are not the best, they are worth a lot of silver." ”
Zhong Yuqi shook her head and said, "I'm not talking about this. I'm asking, do we have anything in the house that we can exchange money for? Or rather, do we have money in the house? ”
Chunhua said: "Back to the girl, there is no cash in our house. The girl's food and clothing should be arranged by Mama Huang. If the girl asks if there is anything that can be exchanged for silver, then every object in the house can be exchanged for silver. ”
Qiu Shi said to Chunhua: "Oops! Why haven't you understood what the girl meant? The girl is asking you, is there anything of value that can be easily exchanged for cash? ”
Afterwards, Qiu Shi said to Zhong Yuqi: "Girl, what do you want to do with cash?" If the girl lacks anything, she just needs to tell Mama Huang. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I want to go out for a walk, if I like something, I can buy it." ”
Qiu Shi said to Chunhua: "What? Yesterday, Lord Rui came here, didn't he give the girl some rewards? ”
Chunhua shook her head and said, "I'm not in the house, I don't know if the prince has given us any objects for the girl." However, listening to the girl's meaning, that is, it was not given. ”
Qiu Shi said with some dissatisfaction: "This Rui Wang Ye is too stingy, right?" He is the most favored prince of the dynasty, and the rewards given to him by the Queen Mother and the Emperor every year are not less than 10,000 gold. The first time our girl saw a guest, he didn't give anything! ”
Frightened, Chunhua hurriedly covered Qiu Shi's mouth and scolded in a low voice: "Do you still think your mouth doesn't cause enough trouble?" Who is this Rui Wangye? His gossip is also what you can say? This is not a punishment for doing coolies, this is a head-killing thing! I don't have to bother our girl! ”
Qiu Shi said disapprerovingly: "With the friendship between Prince Rui and our girl, Lord Rui will not do this!" Others say that Lord Rui is the best, and his temperament is also very good! ”
Chunhua said: "Just because you have a good temperament doesn't mean you can gossip about him!" Say no more! ”
Qiu Shi didn't speak anymore.
Zhong Yuqi also heard some information from their conversation.
Qiu Shi was punished by Mama Huang to do coolies because he said something that shouldn't have been said, and he couldn't meet Zhong Yuqi.
Zhong Yuqi guessed that it might be something related to her. Otherwise, Qiu Shi would not have committed other people's taboos. It can be seen that Qiu Shi is a smart person.
Maybe it's because Qiu Shi is closer to Zhong Yuqi's age, so he has been by Zhong Yuqi's side for a long time, and he has learned the same. It's just that Qiu Cheng is straightforward and fast-talking, and likes to say everything in his heart.
However, there are some things that cannot be said at any given time.
In addition, this Xiao Yulin is the most favored prince of the dynasty, he is also very rich, and he has a good temper and personality. Maybe that would be a good thing for her?
