Chapter 47 Killing chickens can't take eggs
The next day, Hongye sent Zhao Muyu a few clothes on behalf of Aunt Jiang, which were beautiful, but they were all old systems, and they were worn by Zhao Qingqing and them at first glance.
Aunt Jiang is really kind-hearted, and she promised the old princess to make clothes for her, and in the end she took her daughter's old clothes, and she Zhao Muyu was not called Huazi, and she disdained to wear those worn by others.
"Mandarin duck, didn't you say that there is no firewood in the garden? Take those clothes and burn them, so that they don't have to look at them. ”
The mandarin duck pointed to these beautiful clothes, and his face was full of reluctance: "But if it is burned, what kind of clothes are you wearing, Miss?" Your clothes are dirty and old, washed and white, and you can't wear them anymore, and now you can barely survive the fall. ”
Zhao Muyu raised his eyebrows coldly: "Didn't my mother leave a lot of clothes?" I think it's also very beautiful, you go to the inner garden and ask Mama Li for me to wear, and those clothes will be burned immediately. ”
Even if she didn't wear her mother's clothes, she still had a lot of silver taels left on her, which she could buy on the street.
"Mama Li...... Ah, the servant girl does not dare, the servant girl is afraid of her. As soon as Mama Li was mentioned, the mandarin duck was so frightened that her hair stood on end, in the past, the young lady didn't even dare to mention Mama Li, but now she dared to ask Mama Li for something, and the young lady became more and more bold.
Zhao Muyu walked into the house coldly, took out the duck leg wrapped in paper last night, took out the croton powder that the mandarin duck bought yesterday and sprinkled it on the duck leg, and after sprinkling, she stuffed a few pieces of broken silver in the paper bag, and then walked to the inner garden with the mandarin duck.
Thinking of such a fat duck leg and silver to be given to Mama Li, Zhao Muyu felt a faint pain in his heart, but in order to live a few days of peace, it was worth losing a duck leg.
Before he reached the main garden, Zhao Muyu heard a sharp movement of melon seeds from a distance.
At the same time, she saw a stout woman in green clothes, with five big and three thick descriptions of not exaggerating, sitting on the rock in front of the rockery, she put one leg on another rock, the bold posture of the big thorns, sat in the shape of an inverted V, and spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth with disdain.
"I didn't see that stinky girl yesterday, I heard that she was raped and disrespectful, it's really embarrassing, why didn't she die outside, it's really a mourning star."
"Mama Li, I heard that the second lady is not out of line, but almost out of line. The old princess forbade the servants to discuss the matter. Mother Qian, who was standing on the side, looked at Mama Li with some concern.
Mother Qian is Mama Li's subordinate, but she is very beautiful, although her clothes are old, she is neat and decent, and her hair is combed black and shiny.
In her early years, she was the wife of an official who was guilty of crimes, and later the official was beheaded, and the whole family was used as slaves. Some of them were filled into the palace as laundry maids, some were distributed to various courtiers, and even more miserable were sent to exile and confiscated soldiers.
Because of her ability to read and write, and to know the rules and etiquette, Mother Qian was fortunate to be assigned to the Great Prince's Mansion as an errand, she was humble and polite, not as vulgar and ignorant as Mama Li, and she had never bullied Zhao Muyu, but let Zhao Muyu think highly of her.
Mama Li listened to Mother Qian's words, and her copper bell-like eyes shot at her like knives, which frightened Mother Qian's body.
"You think I don't know that you're always defending this stinky girl. The more you defend her, the more I want to find her trouble, without her to honor me, I have no meat in my mouth, no wine in my stomach, my life is sad, I am tired of eating some peanuts and melon seeds all day long, and a bird can fade out of my mouth. Let's go, let's go find this stinky girl, search her to see if there are any copper plates, and change a few roast chickens for me to eat. ”
After Mama Li finished speaking, Mother Qian got up, patted the ashes on her fat buttocks, and left.
If it weren't for Qian's mother who could write, how would she keep her, and she could usually use Qian's mother to write a letter to the family, which could save a lot of money.
Mama Li got up, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhao Muyu with a mandarin duck coming up to her.
As soon as she saw Mama Li, the mandarin duck was so frightened that she trembled, Mama Li had a group of evil slaves under her, who were ruthless in beating people, and they never knew the severity, they were one of Aunt Jiang's thugs.
But no matter how worried the mandarin duck was, he still held his head high in front of Zhao Muyu, and raised his chest high towards Mama Li, her petite body seemed to contain endless energy, "Miss, you don't have to worry, there is a maid to protect you." ”
Mama Li didn't look for Zhao Muyu, but when she saw Zhao Muyu taking the initiative to come to the door, she immediately sneered: "Ouch, little waste material, I haven't looked for you yet, you dare to take the initiative to find the door." Did you go out yesterday and play with silver taels, and took the initiative to take it to honor me? You're not stupid, you know that offering silver taels and suffering less from flesh and skin is a good deal. ”
Usually it is very difficult to rob the girl's money, and the girl always protects the silver two to death, and every time she robs it, she has to work hard, but she can only beat her and snatch it away, and the food is too ugly.
Zhao Muyu raised her head coldly, a cold and arrogant look appeared on her pale cheeks, and an undercurrent surged in her calm eyes, she greeted Mama Li coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here to ask for my mother's previous clothes, please take them out for me." ”
"Bah, little, what kind of tone do you have? Do you dare to command me too? Mama Li has a pair of triangular eyes, and she looks extremely fierce when she grins at random, she picks her teeth and scolds at the same time, and walks like a sow on the street, and she looks like a person who is not easy to get along with.
She was ordered by Aunt Jiang, so she dared to be so arrogant, she had many thugs, many people, and made a living by looting the dowry left by Zhao Muyu's mother, very mean and unkind, every time she scared the previous Zhao Muyu like a frightened bird, the dowry left by Zhao Muyu's mother had already been looted by Mama Li, where was there still money for her to seize, she began to beat Zhao Muyu's idea of monthly money.
Zhao Muyu frowned coldly, pretending to protect her stomach tightly, and she looked like she was worried that Mama Li would snatch it away with a baby hidden in her clothes, "I don't have any clothes to wear, who else can I wear if I don't wear my mother?" ”
Mama Li's eyes were sharp, and she could see that Zhao Muyu had something hidden on her body, where would she talk nonsense with Zhao Muyu, and directly stepped forward to push Zhao Muyu down, and her two fat hands began to lift Zhao Muyu's clothes.
As soon as she opened it, she saw a ball of paper hidden in Zhao Muyu's clothes, she pulled out the paper rudely, and immediately a few pieces of broken silver fell to the ground.
After picking up the money, she saw a fat duck leg wrapped in the paper, and immediately shouted with bright eyes: "Little thing, dare to hide silver and duck legs privately, and if I find out, it should be confiscated." ”
Zhao Muyu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Mama Li's strong thighs, "This is my last silver tael, my own things are not private, you pay me back, if you don't pay me back, I'll go tell the old princess." ”
"Ouch, dare to use the old princess to press me, do you think I'm afraid of that old thing? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, do you know it? The silver two old ladies are going to be decided today, and the duck legs are also decided. After Mama Li finished speaking, she kicked Zhao Muyu and kicked Zhao Muyu to the ground.
Seeing this, the mandarin duck helped Zhao Muyu up with a distressed face, "Miss, just give it to her, if you don't give it to her, you have to rob it, so you don't have to be beaten by her." ”
"No, she can't take the silver taels, this is our month's expenses. If she wants to take it, she can take my mother's clothes in exchange! Although Zhao Muyu was kicked and his body hurt a lot, there was a coldness in his eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Muyu was so persistent, Mama Li, who didn't like to talk nonsense, picked up the silver tael, and waved her hand impatiently, "Forget it, the silver tael is all gone, and the old lady doesn't want to entangle with you more, Mother Qian, go and carry out her mother's tattered wooden box containing clothes, the old lady has long thought that this wooden box is an eyesore, occupies space, and took it out for her, anyway, it is full of worthless and broken things." ”
With money and duck legs, Mama Li didn't bully Zhao Muyu anymore, she glared at Zhao Muyu hatefully, thinking that this little girl can't die, keep her at least every month to rob the monthly money, and spare her once today.
The goose feathers must be plucked well, and they will have to be plucked in the future, and it will be difficult for the feathers to come out again, and she will never be able to pluck the feathers in the future.
After Mama Li finished speaking, she took a bite of the silver with her mouth, and after confirming that it was genuine, she took the duck leg and nibbled her group of thugs out of the garden, "These silver taels are enough for us to squander for a while, let's go to the garden next door to gamble." ”
After speaking, she coldly swept Mother Qian, "Mother Qian, you feel so sorry for that little slut, you don't have to play, leave me in the garden and wash all the clothes." ”
Mother Qian nodded respectfully at her.
After Mama Li left, Mother Qian entered the main garden and moved the wooden box left by Zhao Muyu's mother to the outer garden, and after putting the wooden box away, she looked at Zhao Muyu with some sympathy, "Second Miss, are you okay?" Mama Li, she has always been so rude, these evil servants, I don't know who can cure her. ”
Zhao Muyu raised her eyes coldly, "You can rest assured, someone will treat her soon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a scream like killing a pig suddenly sounded outside, "Ouch hey, my mother's stomach hurts, Mother Sun, Mother Wu, you wait here for a while, wait for me to go to the toilet first, we will go again, hey, it hurts......"
What's wrong?
Mother Qian walked out of the garden in a hurry, and saw Mama Li covering her buttocks and rushing towards the toilet in the distance.
It turned out to be diarrhea, and Mother Qian thought that something was wrong with Mama Li, and she screamed so painfully.
Zhao Muyu opened the curtains by the window, saw Mama Li rushing into the toilet, and soon walked out with a happy face.
Just as she was about to leave with the thugs, her stomach suddenly cramped like a sudden pain, which made her body cold and sweating, "No, no, something happened again, I'll go pull again." ”
After Mama Li finished speaking, she ran to the toilet again.
"Miss, what's wrong with Mama Li?" After the mandarin duck finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the croton powder that Miss asked her to buy yesterday, and immediately realized, "Miss, did you put croton powder on the duck leg?" Haha, Mama Li deserves it. ”
Zhao Muyu's gold-like eyes burst out with a cold glow, "How can the croton powder alone be so powerful, I just added a very cold half-summer flower to it, wait for it, she will at least pull out half of her life today." ”
