Chapter 158: Knock on the door!
In a few days, the embroidery workshop began to hand over some important work here. The texture of these embroideries alone is already worth a lot of money, not to mention the various requirements that are even more staggering.
However, because of the help of this kind ghost, Zichu and Cinnamon always got lucky. After a long time, the two of them also became a little familiar and intimate with this mysterious female ghost.
Anyway, the two of them don't have anything to plan now, they are poor and white in this Zhiwei Hall, and the only valuable belongings are those silver tickets, which are sewn into the close-fitting clothes by the two of them. So much so that later, sometimes when he went to bed at night, Zichu didn't even latch the door of the inner room, which was considered a convenience for this female ghost, saving her some effort, and everyone's convenience!
Seven or eight days passed in a kind of secluded peace. Early this morning, it was also the beginning of the child's bad luck, she had just walked out of the door of Zhiwei Hall with the embroidery embroidered the night before, and saw an old woman with her nostrils facing the sky coming towards her, followed by two big girls with a fierce face.
The three of them were stunned when they saw Zichu in front of the door, because under the morning light, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were as delicate and lovely as dewdrops. In this way, where does it look like someone who has stayed up all night doing a night's work?
After all, the old lady is older and has seen the world, so she reacted immediately, and said in a strange manner: "Who should I be!" It turned out to be Miss Song, you! The old body is worried that he can't find this person who is responsible? You've just got it! Hmph, the five sets of clothes that my wife handed over yesterday are all for urgent work, what do you mean by not doing it here?! Madame has lost her temper, please have to give an explanation today! ”
Zichu yawned in front of her and asked very gently, "Who is your wife?" ”
The old lady relied on the majesty of the master, and has been in the East Palace for many years, how could she have been so neglected, she immediately jumped like thunder, opened her mouth and scolded, what fox spirit, sassy hooves, shameless sluts and other words poured out like flowing water, the two maids saw that the grandmother spoke, and they were not to be outdone.
Hearing this noise, the people nearby also rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they saw that it was the mother-in-law and maid next to Mrs. Shen who came to make trouble, they knew it. All of them were holding a lively attitude, standing aside and laughing, pointing and pointing, and from time to time there were a few words of cynicism.
Zi Chu saw the three of them scolding and spitting everywhere, so he asked Guipi with an inexplicable face: "Is there something wrong with the three of them, I just asked them who the lady in their mouths is, are they so excited?" ”
Cinnamon has also had some dealings with people all over the East Palace these days, and when he saw this, he hurriedly took a little broken silver and found a face he knew in the crowd. After asking a few words, he whispered to Zichu what happened.
It turns out that the ladies in the backyard of the East Palace, every New Year's Day, the crown princess Zhang will give a sum of money for the purchase of jewelry and clothing according to their respective status and grades.
The three in front of me are the people in the Shen family's aunt's room, who have already received this year's annual festival money of three hundred taels and four sets of clothes, but they are still not enough, and insist that they should give five hundred taels, and they should embroider another five sets of clothes.
The stewards of the East Palace all know the origin of this Mrs. Shen, and they know that they can't be offended, in previous years, they were all given money and clothes for such a fuss, and they would report the account when they turned back, anyway, the crown princess also knew that she would turn a blind eye to this.
But this time, the extra five sets of clothes were stuck here at Zichu. Because she embroidered eight sets of clothes in a row yesterday, she really couldn't make it in time. told the steward the truth, and the steward did not embarrass her. It's just that I didn't expect that there was such a hidden danger buried behind it. It seems that someone deliberately tried to burn the flames on himself?
After Zichu heard the reason, he casually said and said to the others: "Everyone go back and do your own thing, if these three are free, just stay with me to drink tea and chat." ”
After that, he sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard with Cinnamon himself, and Cinnamon also went to the house to get tea, snacks and breakfast.
From beginning to end, Zichu didn't even look at the three shrews who were keen to scold the street. Seeing this, the others felt that this scolding that no one responded to really didn't look at him, so they looked at each other and obediently dispersed.
Besides, the old lady scolded with the two maids for a long time, that really showed the housekeeping skills, and even the saliva was sprayed dry!
But seeing the audience leave the venue one by one, Zichu, the main master, still sat on the side drinking tea and eating breakfast with a painless appearance, these three people scolded and left, and as the audience all walked away, their original magnificent scolding gradually stopped, and they were extremely embarrassed on the spot.
After Zichu ate and drank enough, he slowly admired their embarrassment, and said to Guipi with a smile: "Oh, I made a night of embroidery last night, I am a little tired at this time, and I want to go back to rest, you can also go back and rest for a while, let's get up and continue to do it." ”
Cinnamon has long been dissatisfied with the Shen family's aunt's domineering rampant, yesterday they were still using the momentum to surround themselves at the door of the embroidery building, and now seeing Zichu treating them so coldly, they also feel relieved, and quickly stood up and wanted to go in with Zichu.
Seeing that the master and servant were leaving, the old lady saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly moved her body to quickly block the door, and the two maids lined up, keeping the door tight, and shouted: "If you don't give an explanation today, no one will want to enter this door!" ”
Zichu smiled and asked the mother-in-law, "What do you mean by this?" I'm not a subordinate in this East Palace, am I? The place where I live is a little worse, but there is no reason for being blocked by minions. ”
Cinnamon vaguely guessed what Zichu was going to do, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly to cooperate: "Naturally! Miss, you are a free body, a slave, and you are not a slave or maid who sold yourself to the East Palace! “
"So what are you waiting for? Come! Let's find a broom and beat these three shrews out! After Zichu finished speaking, he said with a cold face. After saying that, he also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go to the corner of the yard to copy the guy and start beating people.
This old lady saw that the situation was wrong, and she also knew that Zichu was indeed special, so she bluffed and shouted: "Slut, you dare?!" ”
was insulted by an old woman like this, Zichu's smile did not change: "I don't know if a slut dares or not, anyway, I don't dare to do anything!" ”
As if in response to her words, there were a few crackles, and before the broom in her hand could be used, she saw someone come out from behind and knock the three people down.
Zichu and Cinnamon were stunned for a moment, thinking to themselves what was going on? Could it be the kind-hearted ghost who lives in this courtyard, and the ghost who sees injustice on the road comes to help?
Hehe, according to that, this ghost is really a kind ghost!
Besides, the old lady and the two maids were knocked to the ground by a strong and powerful yin wind, and they were all in pain to death, and they immediately howled. If you want to talk about the old mama, she is also hard, and she is scolding Zichu while screaming, and what is not clean in her mouth is a lot of foul words and swear words jumping out in a row.
In fact, Zichu looked at their rough skin and thick flesh, even if they fell to the ground, they would not be injured, at most they would just have a bad face, but listening to the sound of killing pigs, as well as the deliberate action of rolling on the ground, he knew that these people were purely looking for trouble, and they would not stop making a big deal about it.
If that's the case, then why should I be polite to these slaves? He is just a guest in the East Palace, but Jun Yuxuan doesn't want to see him, can he still be bullied by a few slaves?
Thinking of this, Zichu picked up some mung bean skins that were prepared to be used as pillows in the yard, and sprinkled them on the three of them. While sprinkling, he also said: "Oops! How can you turn my mung bean skin over? I'm going to use them as pillows! What a pity, what a pity! ”
Seeing this, Cinnamon also did the same, so he picked up a dustpan and dried half of it, which was a very prickly acacia leaf, and splashed it on them together. The acacia leaves have half-length hairs on them, and as soon as they hit the human skin, they are itching and unbearable. Being hit like this, the three of them finally couldn't hold back any longer, and got up from the ground screaming, and didn't roll or just cry, but hurriedly went to pick up the leaves on their bodies, while scolding: "Bah, bah! What the hell is this? Ouch hey, it's really uncomfortable to stab! ”
Zichu looked at the good show in front of him coldly, and said to them for a long time: "Why don't you get out of here?" Don't blame Miss Ben for not reminding you, these things are just piercing your epidermis now, if you don't hurry back and find a basin of water to wash it well, then your whole body will be red and swollen for a while. Hmph, scratch again? Scratch it a little longer, and be careful, your old skin will be scratched off! ”
Hearing Zichu say this, the three of them were very frightened. Especially the two young maids, at such an age, where would they not cherish their fine skin and tender meat? I heard that this thing would ruin my skin after I pierced it, and I was so scared that I hurriedly stumbled up and ran out.
Seeing that the two little maids were scared away by Zichu, the old lady spit out the saliva mixed with mud and sand in her mouth a few times, and said hatefully: "Slut, when His Royal Highness the Prince accepts you, see my wife peel off your skin!" ”
Seeing that the old woman was so hateful, she remembered the night of Qixi Festival, when her master almost pushed herself to the ground, so without saying a word, she picked up a dustpan of acacia leaves next to her again, and covered the old woman with a happy face!
This mother-in-law saw that she couldn't please Zichu in front of her, so she was also angry and ready to leave. She scratched the itchy spots on her body while scolding and walking out. Who knew that when he reached the threshold, he stepped on a mossy stone without paying attention, and with a pop, he immediately fell like a pig's head.
"Hahaha! Miss, look at how embarrassed she is! Hahaha! It's a laughing death! ”
Cinnamon smiled back and forth, and was overjoyed. Zichu also smiled slightly, then took her hand, looked in the direction of the inner room, made a deep bow, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your help, I and Cinnamon are two of you, thank you here!" ”
