Chapter 52: Running Away from Marriage
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Ji Xiang held his head, half puzzled, half annoyed and said to Zhou Caidie, "One or two don't worry at all, I don't care, you accompany me to explain it to Fat Ni now." ”
Zhou Caidie shook her head and pointed to the clothes in the yard, "Xiang'er, let me go, I have a lot of work, who would have thought that you would come today?" My garment will be delivered to every house in an hour, so how can I follow you now? ”
Looking at Ji Xiang's sulking appearance, Zhou Caidie was miserable. These clothes were urgently requested by the various houses, and she had to send them over after washing them.
"Okay, you're angry now, you might as well turn around and find Fat Ni. She's so simple, I'm afraid I'm going to be happy to see you. ”
After finding Meng's Mansion, Ji Xiang found that the courtyard where Zhou Caidie lived was only one street away from here.
Looking at the red lacquered wooden door, there were two burly men guarding outside, and the stone lion stared.
Ji Xiang cut his hair and walked directly to the main entrance.
A servant-like man frowned, "Who are you?" Trespassing on the Meng Mansion, don't blame us for being polite. ”
A stick slammed into the ground, causing Ji Xiang to take two steps back.
"I'm looking for Fatney." When the words came out, I saw the man talking at her suspiciously, "I don't know, hurry up." ”
"Really anyone dares to come to Mengfu to touch porcelain."
"Fat Ni, when I heard it, I was a countryman, and our Meng Mansion didn't recruit this kind of maid."
The more I listened, the more angry I became, no matter how high or low the profession was, they were all human beings, and they dared to look down on people like this.
"What's wrong with the countrymen, aren't your parents? Whose family is not a farmer for the next three generations, who does he look down on? Ji Xiang said coldly, his face full of disgust, looking at the man was like seeing garbage on the ground.
Manly and swinging a stick again, since he entered the Meng Mansion, he has never been disgraced like this.
"Old Five, come and help me drive this shrew out, so as not to dirty the land of Mengfu."
Ji Xiang, who was stuck in his chest in one breath, didn't vomit or be unhappy, and when he saw that he was about to come up to restrain himself, Ji Xiang hid, and the silent old man didn't move, looking at his loyalty.
"There's a kind of don't run away." I don't know how it developed into a cat and mouse, the slave chased after him for a while, and quickly hit Ji Xiang's knee with a stick, but was kicked away, the man wondered, and when he was surprised, Ji Xiang was already on his body.
The fist hit the abdomen, and the man wanted to spit out all the sour water.
Before he could cover his stomach, Ji Xiang had already slapped an elbow on the man's back. He knelt on the ground, Ji Xiang's body pressed violently, and the person fell to the ground.
The wooden-like old five seemed to have just woken up now, glanced at Ji Xiang, and yawned, "Chen Zhong, why can't you even beat a woman?" ”
"Old Five, what are you talking about, don't come and help me."
Chen Zhong glared at Ji Xiang, but he didn't think about making a move, he was born with a sense of closeness to powerful people.
The old five rolled his eyes and reluctantly came over to pick up Chen Zhong.
Ji Xiang looked at the two bickering suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong. You are a family member, just now if you don't come up together to beat her, forget it, and now there is infighting.
No, no, no, it feels like they don't take this job to heart.
She was really right, Chen Zhong and Lao Wu were not considered slaves of the Meng Mansion, but they were just working here to catch a fish. Chen Zhong has a hot temper, no matter what he does, as long as he collides with him, he will be beaten.
But if he can't beat him, this person will simply treat you as a big brother. Since he was born, there have been many, many big brothers.
As for the fifth child, he is tall and sloppy, and typically has no goals.
Ji Xiang chatted with them for a few words, and they understood that the personalities of these two people were really clear.
"Mrs. Chen, why is it so coincidental to meet you here."
It was Meng Er who spoke out, and he watched the play for a long time in the corner of the side. Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Chen, like her father-in-law, was deeply hidden.
Although the words were polite, Ji Xiang didn't think it was a greeting, after all, there was no one blocking the chance encounter at the door of his house.
However, I also know that because of that Mai Lisu, the shopkeeper Meng will also be more tolerant of his disciple who is a hidden master.
The woman turned her head slowly, and saw a gloomy-looking man next to the shopkeeper Meng looking at herself.
glanced at it without a trace, and then whispered to the shopkeeper Meng. "I have a sister who entered the Meng Mansion a few days ago to be the maid of the little master, and I happened to be free today, so I thought about coming and seeing."
Shopkeeper Meng glanced at Ji Xiang suspiciously, looking for someone not to go to the side door, why did he come to the main gate. He thought that Chen Jie'an had called to find fault, and glanced at the people on the side, and then said: "Since Mrs. Chen is here to find someone, then I won't bother." Old Five, you take Mrs. Chen in and find Steward Lin. ”
"Didn't Shopkeeper Meng just come back, why did he leave?" Ji Xiang watched the fifth child casually open the door, followed for a while, and turned his head to find that the shopkeeper Meng had not moved.
On the contrary, the man on the side smiled at himself sadly, how did he feel that he was entering a wolf's den, not Mengfu.
"I still have something to do, I have to go to Jishitang again. Let's go, Yu Cheng. With that, he turned around, and the gloomy man followed.
Lao Wu shouted, and Ji Xiang came back to his senses. I always felt that the man was a little strange, his complexion was too white, his appearance was feminine and terrifying, and he stared at you like he was looking at his prey.
It's more like a yin difference than Meng Tian.
After entering, when he saw the housekeeper, the fifth child went out.
Steward Lin is old, with gray hair, but he is in good spirits. He spoke clearly, kindly and kindly, and Ji Xiang couldn't help but complain a few words about Chen Zhong.
"Mrs. Chen, it's not Chen Zhong's fault." When Steward Lin led people to the other courtyard, he explained: "Generally, those who walk through the main gate are nobles with status, and those who are not familiar with them cannot enter. If you go to visit relatives and friends, you go through the side door. ”
I didn't know that it was not a high-ranking family that still had so many rules, Ji Xiang scratched his head and felt that he had made a joke.
When she arrived at the other courtyard, Steward Lin didn't leave, but pulled a handsome maid in yellow and asked her to take her in.
Before he left, he also deliberately explained to the maid that Ji Xiang must be taken to the side door when he leaves.
The distressed Ji Xiang sat down for a while, but with a pillar of incense, Fat Ni ran in with a shout.
"Ahh The little girl's face was much more ruddy, but she hadn't seen her for two days, but she could see that her cheeks had gained a little fatter.
Ji Xiang, who realized this, grabbed Fat Ni's arm and shook it from side to side, "Fat Ni, have you stopped taking medicine?" Why are you fat again, are you okay, have you felt uncomfortable in the past two days. ”
was a little unhappy when she was asked, she was able to say a decent idiom, but Ji Xiang didn't notice it. Still, she explained patiently. "No, it was the young master who gave me a lot of food, and I can't help but be greedy. Sister Ji Xiang, I really miss you, I don't see you for a day. ”
After speaking, she was tired of Ji Xiang and wanted to rub her head. Ji Xiang got goosebumps and jumped far away, only now did he notice that something was wrong with Fat Ni. "Fat Ni, what's wrong with you?"
Fat Ni opened her eyebrows and put behind her unhappiness about Ji Xiang's retreat. "Sister Ji Xiang, you also found out!"
Why can't I find it, why did I come for a few days, it's weird. Shouldn't it be like her...... I was crossed. The world is so big that there are no surprises.
"The young master taught me to read and write, and I am now that Amun." This refers to the allusion of the three days of Shibe, which should be impressive.
The little girl came closer, Yan Yan smiled, her eyes were bright, and Ji Xiang trembled when she looked at her like autumn water. Hurriedly pushed Fat Ni away and coughed twice, "What the hell is wrong with you, weird." ”
"And the message of that Jishitang apprentice, what are you looking for me to do, what do you want to ask me for."
asked a few questions in a row, and Fat Ni was stunned and muttered several times. "How is Sister Ji Xiang different from the young master, is it only the young master who likes me to look at him like this?"
Well? What do you have with Meng Huaidong, how can you talk about Fat Ni, and learn to sell cuteness.
Fortunately, Fat Ni struggled for a while, and then she didn't care.
She took out a purse and handed it to Ji Xiang, "Sister Ji Xiang, the young master said that I have to stay in the house for two months and can't get out, so you can help me get this money to my father, and then help me get a letter, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
Just this matter, how did it become mysterious?
Caidie came out without her secret, and I didn't dare to know the address, for fear that someone would listen to what she said in her dream. Then I can only ask Sister Ji Xiang to you, but I am afraid that people will worry about money, the young master said, you must be very careful, it is best to do things crookedly, which makes people scratch their heads. ”
Meng Huaidong, a little kid, teaches everything.
Ji Xiangbai was blind to his previous worries, but he was relieved to see that Fat Ni was okay here.
"By the way, Sister Ji Xiang, the young master gave me a delicious pastry, you come with me, I invite you to eat......"
Fat Ni pulled Ji Xiang away, and with that strength, she was really a good pig killer.
……
"Ah Tao, let me out, please." Zhang Mingzhu's face was full of tears, and her eyes hurt from the red thorns on the table. "Dad, he's not here now, please, I don't want to marry Meng Tian."
Ah Tao was guarding outside the door, not daring to speak for a while.
"Ah Tao......" Zhang Mingzhu's voice was extremely resentful, and the shocked Ah Tao's heart didn't dare to persuade at all.
She tightened the key in her hand and quickly made up her mind.
"Miss, you clean up quickly, the master will have to come back in two hours." The door was opened, Zhang Mingzhu's red face became pale and ugly, she looked at Ah Tao, and her eyes were full of concern when she was nervous and scared.
"Miss, what are you stunned about, we have to hurry." Wherever the young lady goes, she will go, otherwise, if she is discovered, a slave like her will be killed.
Zhang Mingzhu nodded, and quickly packed up his baggage, and there were still a few hundred taels of silver tickets in it.
Tao also packed her clothes and was waiting for her at the back door.
The moment the door was closed, Ah Tao couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where should we go." ”
She looked into the depths of the alley and quickly wrapped her face in a headscarf, "Let's go look for Lin Wuyu, I heard that she is in Yun'an Village." ”
