Chapter 304: The Man Who Asks for Help
Xia Chutao felt that this embroidery girl was definitely torturing herself in the name of teaching herself embroidery, but Xia Chutao thought about it for a long time, and she couldn't figure out where she offended this embroidery girl.
It's obvious that two people who have never known each other in their lives, but she wants to target herself like this.
Xia Chutao asked puzzled
"Auntie, is there anything wrong with me picking these mulberry leaves? Why do you want to re-pick it? ”
The embroidery girl was also confident, and there was no panic in the face of Xia Chutao's questioning, walking back and forth between the plates of mulberry leaves.
"Look at this plate, it's too old, you raise new silkworms, how can they gnaw these leaves. This plate, there are too many black spots, indicating that there are insects, and this plate has too many insect eyes, indicating that they have been eaten by insects, and it is not good...... And this plate, this plate ......"
The embroidery girl is the mulberry leaves that the peach has worked hard to pick back at the beginning of summer, and each plate is counted all over again, in short, none of the plates are good in the eyes of this person.
Xia Chutao was sweating profusely when she heard it, according to what she said, her previous hard work was in vain, and she had to go back and pick it again.
"In short, it's just failing, if you want to raise silkworms well, the leaves must work hard, this has not changed, and you have to do this every day."
Early Summer Peach: ......
She now feels more and more that this embroidery girl is targeting herself, and she didn't raise silkworms when she was in elementary school, when was she so particular.
Looking at Xia Chutao's faint eyes, the embroidery girl laughed.
"What? Madame thinks the gold is too expensive? Can't be called a second time? ”
"These insects are also insects in the end, don't you deceive people too much, no matter what, they can't compare to our lady's gold, do you want to serve as the emperor?"
Bizhu, who was originally sprinkling and sweeping the yard, really couldn't listen to it, this embroidery girl was really mean in language, and the requirements were even more stringent, thanks to the early summer peach was able to bear a round back.
Bizhu said that he came to the embroidery girl with a broom,
"It's not that I haven't raised silkworms, where is to be so particular, the old leaves can't be eaten, but the other plates of leaves can be fed, where do you come from so fastidious. You shouldn't be tossing our lady back and forth for some reason, right? ”
The embroidery girl glanced at Bizhu very angrily, since entering the door, Bizhu has more than once contradicted this embroidery girl, such a rigid tone, just the peach at the beginning of the summer feels that it feels hanging.
"I said you, what is your identity? The big girl next to Madame is so amazing that she can go to heaven and come to offend me repeatedly. Not to mention that I was personally invited by the general, and I am also a guest of the general's mansion, this is how you are hospitable? ”
Bizhu found out that the person in front of him was a leper, no matter what he said, he could get involved with something else, what he said had risen to the face of the general's mansion, where did Bizhu dare to continue to say anything.
Xia Chutao was also very dissatisfied with the words of the embroidered girl, which was undoubtedly a threat.
"Bizhu, okay, you really have enough today."
Xia Chutao felt that Bizhu couldn't say anything more, if these words really spread out, I was afraid that I didn't know how much black it would bring to the general's mansion.
"You are indeed too rude to your aunt, and you will not have a long memory if you are not punished. Take this broom and go out and kneel, swing your hand, and you can't get up until you scream, and you can't fall to the ground with the broom in your hand. ”
Bizhu looked at Xia Chutao in surprise, and she really didn't know why this was Xia Chutao who didn't defend herself, but stood with the embroidery girl.
What she wanted to say just now was to see Xia Chutao's fierce gaze sweeping over her body, and she heard Xia Chutao's voice clear.
"Didn't hear me? Or is my word useless now? ”
Hearing this, Bizhu naturally didn't dare to say any more, and the embroidery girl on the side also showed a very proud smile.
Bizhu had no choice but to go out and kneel with her broom in despair.
Seeing Xia Chutao's treatment like this, the embroidery girl's heart was naturally happy, and she couldn't help but smile at Xia Chutao's eyebrows,
"The little lady is doing the right thing like this, there is no etiquette, and the maid who committed the following crimes has to be taught a good lesson, otherwise I don't know who gave her a long face."
The embroidery lady said this, and the peach at the beginning of Xia didn't react, but said to the embroidery girl lightly.
"What my aunt said is that I'm going to pick new mulberry leaves."
Under the approving and proud gaze of the embroidery girl, Xia Chutao took the bamboo sieve that had poured out the mulberry leaves and walked out of the yard in his hand.
As soon as I got out of the yard, I saw Bizhu kneeling there holding a broom, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, and they kept crackling and falling.
Xia Chutao looked at such a scene, and she really felt sorry for this Nizi in her heart.
"Alas...... Why do you like to cry so much? ”
Xia Chutao said, slowly squatting down in front of Bizhu.
She took out the silk handkerchief in her hand, wiped the tears on Bizhu's face, and asked softly,
"But I was too fierce just now? Scares you? ”
Xia Chutao said that she couldn't move, but Bizhu really didn't move at all, so she knelt there and let Xia Chutao wipe her tears.
"No...... It's not ......"
Bizhu shuddered with a crying voice, sounding as aggrieved as she wanted.
"Then what are you crying about?"
"I just think that Mrs. is Mrs. in the end, why do you let the embroidery lady of the show shop abuse at will, it's really too much. At this time, I had no way to help my wife speak, so I could only let that leper rely on me. ”
Xia Chutao listened to such words, and felt relieved in her heart, and couldn't help poking Bizhu's brain.
"You are also a stupid hoof, if it weren't for the fact that she was the best embroiderer in the capital, and she was personally picked by the general, I wouldn't want to study hard. But the person has already entered the house, and the old man has given such a problem, if you don't do it well, it's really not good...... If you say this, you will not live up to the general's expectations. ”
"You just said it, she's a leper, I'm afraid that if she goes out, she will say that the General's Mansion is not good, how difficult it will be to do the General's Mansion at that time...... You don't want to embarrass the general either, do you? ”
Bizhu stopped her tears now, and seemed to think that what Xia Chutao said made sense.
"Or is it a thoughtful ...... lady"
"Hey, it's okay, I can still stand this little hardship. You just kneel here for a while and give her a meaning. I'll continue to pick mulberry leaves, and you can get up when I come back." ”
"Yes......"
Bizhu nodded at this time, but she still couldn't help but say to Xia Chutao with some concern.
"Although there are no people in Dongyuan, there are many deserted places, what wood and stone, Mrs. should be careful."
"Okay, I got it."
Seeing that Bizhu didn't cry anymore, Xia Chutao took his bamboo sieve and headed for Dongyuan again.
Xia Chutao stood in front of the mulberry leaf garden in the East Garden and exhaled deeply.
It's really back to the original seven o'clock, standing in front of the mulberry leaves in a daze.
"I must pick the leaves well this time, but I can't let that mean ghost find fault with it."
At the beginning of the summer, the peach swore so viciously in front of the mulberry tree.
Then she carefully began to walk back and forth in front of the mulberry trees, trying to choose the best that could meet the conditions that the embroiderer had said before.
Picking mulberry leaves is a repetitive and easily numbing action, and after picking peaches for a while at the beginning of summer, I found that my wrist was red.
"Shhhh
It's okay not to look at it, Xia Chutao immediately felt the pain in his wrist the moment he looked down and saw the crimson piece on his wrist.
She looked down at the wound on her hand, her brow furrowed, and she couldn't help but mutter.
"When did you scratch it, you just didn't notice it at all......"
The key is that the wound is quite deep, and at this time it is still oozing blood.
Xia Chutao looked at the skirt that was already dirty, and simply tore a strip of cloth down to bandage his wound briefly.
Just when Xia Chutao felt that she had dealt with it properly, at this time, she found that her ankles were tight.
It felt like something was holding you, and it was chilling.
"Ahh
Xia Chutao was frightened, and the mulberry leaves in his hands flew out directly.
When she looked down, she was almost scared to death.
For it is indeed a pair of hands that hold one's ankles.
Xia Chu Tao couldn't do it, but he felt that his heart was beating rapidly, the blood in his body was draining, and the whole person was completely cold.
"What did you come from!"
At the beginning of the summer, Tao's frightened voice was trembling, could it be that this East Garden would still be haunted in broad daylight?!
But Xia Chutao couldn't shake it off no matter how she shook it, she felt it carefully, and these hands seemed to have a temperature.
Other words...... This is a living man's hand.
Xia Chutao's heart gradually calmed down, and then he looked at the high wall in front of him, and didn't know why there was a pair of hands behind this wall.
And these hands don't seem to be just to scare people, these hands are tightly covered, but they seem to have other meanings.
At the beginning of summer, Momo thought to herself...... Is there someone behind the wall who wants to express something......
Moreover, these hands poked out of a very narrow hole, Xia Chutao felt that this should be a former dog hole, and a person's body could not be allowed to enter and exit.
"What are you doing that almost scared me to death...... If you need my help, can you hit the wall three times with a rock? ”
Xia Chutao just tentatively said this to the hand holding his feet, and he didn't know if it had any effect.
"Knock, knock, knock."
But to Xia Chutao's surprise, on the other side of the wall, sure enough, there was a rhythmic sound of three knocks on the wall.
