Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fighting Poison with Poison
The four of them then cleaned up the leeches in the courtyard, and then selected some finished products that were about the same size and size, and burned the rest to death.
In the Chunhua Courtyard, when Zhu Xiaoyan heard that Zichu was visiting, he closed the account book in surprise and asked, "You said that the eldest lady brought a maid to send me something?" What are you sending? ”
"This slave doesn't know, it's just that the maid behind the eldest lady is holding several boxes in her hands, madam, do you want to let them in?"
Zhu Xiaoyan groaned slightly, and said, "Please let them in, there are ........"
She whispered her orders, and the maid below took the order.
Zichu entered the door, maintained a respectful attitude, and said after saluting Zhu Xiaoyan: "Madam, I heard that several younger sisters have been frightened a lot, so I specially sent some bird's nest to suppress the shock of several younger sisters. ”
After speaking, he motioned Jun Yuchen to open the box and show Zhu Xiaoyan a look.
Zhu Xiaoyan saw that the box contained really good bird's nest, and she was surprised and happy at the moment, and she pretended to be embarrassed and shirked on her face: "Oh, Zichu, you really have a heart." But this thing is so precious, it's hard for you to pay this little bit of silver a month, so how can I be embarrassed to accept it? ”
"Madame, please rest assured to accept it, these are all given to me by my grandmother, I can't eat so much by myself, and it is also a little bit of my heart to give it to my wife and a few younger sisters."
After some false excuses, Zhu Xiaoyan also accepted the things very happily. Then, Zichu took the hot tea sent by the maid and drank two sips, but suddenly frowned and said, "Oh, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, madam, can you borrow your clean room to use it?" ”
For the sake of these bird's nests, Zhu Xiaoyan naturally couldn't refuse, but she was suspicious by nature, and she also kept an eye on it, so she instructed the mother-in-law next to her: "You two, accompany the eldest lady to the clean room to change clothes." Remember, you have to serve the eldest lady well, and there must be no mistakes, you know? ”
Zichu, who was surrounded by everyone and came to the clean room, said that the smell of the toilet was too strong, that the pancreas used to wash her hands was not fragrant enough, and that the paper handed by the mother-in-law was too rough. After the toss was almost over, when they saw Jun Yuchen quietly turning back into the crowd, the two exchanged glances silently, Jun Yuchen smiled at her suspiciously, and Zichu put his mind at ease, knowing that this thing was done.
After walking out of Chunhua Courtyard, Jun Yuchen couldn't help but glance behind him angrily, and said, "This woman is too vicious, according to me, such a woman should be thrown into the leech pile to feed the insects!" ”
Zichu smiled slightly and said, "It's not time yet, I still have to ask some important things from her mouth." By the way, I really want to thank you for the previous thing. You are bold, if you change my two maids, they will definitely not be able to do it. ”
Jun Yuchen had to raise his head and raise his chest again, and said, "Of course, my ability, how can your two maids be comparable?" ”
Seeing his deteriorating face and nostrils facing the sky, Zichu sneered, but he didn't ridicule him, but an indescribable meaning surged in his heart. Well, it seems that this duck, although it is a bit shameful to eat soft rice, but he is still a good person! Ahem, it seems that I haven't looked away.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you going to get out of this woman's mouth? What matters so much? ”
Zichu said: "It's some of the past, it's better that you still don't know these things." ”
Jun Yuchen muttered a little hurt: "What is something I can't even know?" As the old saying goes, a husband and wife are blessed for a hundred days. At the beginning, let's .......".
Zichu's rare good temper was instantly angered by him again, she straightened her face and corrected: "Who is with you for a day and a hundred days?" Please, can you recognize the reality? I've already made it clear what happened that night, I just happened to meet you again because I was drugged, and then I also gave you silver, and now I helped you solve the problem of nowhere to go, Yujiu, you have to keep your promise! 、”
"I'm so trusted! Because of your first woman, I'm definitely going to be responsible for you to the end! ”
Zichu glanced up and down a little funny, and then pouted: "You are responsible for me?" Hahahaha, what are you responsible for me? ”
Seeing that Jun Yuchen still didn't give up and wanted to explain something, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I have to make it clear to you today, Yujiu, between me and you, you saved me once in the palace, you are a good person, we are friends, so I am willing to take the risk to help you." But, as to what men and women love, and what happened that night, I hope you had better throw all these thoughts away! Because - this is simply not possible! ”
"Why can't it be? Do you ....... you think I'm poor? That's why you don't want to suffer with me? ”
Seeing that he was simply stubborn, Zichu could only sigh patiently, and said: "No, on the contrary, if ....... forget it, I will not explain this problem to you clearly for a while." Even if you do, you may not understand it. In short, I haven't thought about getting married yet, I just want to live well in this world by my own strength. Can you understand that? ”
"I understand, but ....... I'm still weird. At the beginning, how did you think differently from other girls? ”
Jun Yuchen said as he followed her footsteps. In his opinion, the thoughts in this girl's mind were really strange, not only did not ordinary girls have the idea of dying or living after losing their virginity, but also, most shockingly, she didn't even think about marrying? Isn't that ridiculous?
But Zichu didn't want to tell him about some of his past experiences, let alone cut open some scars that had long been sealed, and let himself fall into painful memories again. So the two of them walked one after the other, she walked fast, and Jun Yuchen was unambiguous, following closely step by step.
"Chuchu, don't you go so fast, listen to me, I just heard you say that you don't want to marry at all, why is this? ……”。
As he was talking, a sharp shout was heard. "Hey, hey! Who is this? Walk without looking at the dots?! ”
It turned out that Zichu, who was walking in front, bumped into an old woman with a tray in his hand when he came to the corner, and splashed the juice from the soup cup in the other party's tray all over the ground, and even the old woman's face was splashed with some hot soup, and he screamed immediately.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. That, it's .......".
When Zichu saw clearly, it turned out to be a mother-in-law of Mu Entang, and he couldn't help but wail in his heart. It's miserable, the old woman didn't like her in the first place, and now she bumped into her subordinates again...... It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the bad luck happened one after another.
Her brain was spinning fast, and she quickly took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I walked faster for a while, and I didn't see the person in front of me clearly." If you take this money to drink tea, I will not be able to pay for it. ”
The mother-in-law wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, anyway, the eldest lady had no status in the mansion, but after seeing the silver, her face softened a little, so she took the silver and said: "It turned out to be the eldest lady, the eldest lady, and it wasn't the old slave who said you, this soup was a tonic soup for the old lady for six hours." Now I was knocked over by you, and when I go back in a while, the old slave really doesn't know how to explain to the old lady! ”
Hearing her words, Zichu looked at it again, and the soup sprinkled on the ground did indeed have some precious medicinal herbs of ginseng and cordyceps, so he gritted his teeth, and then took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and said: "This old mother, I can't help it, it's all my fault." Please also be sure to say a few kind words for me in front of my ancestors. ”
After taking the silver, the woman weighed it with satisfaction, and then picked up the things on the ground, Shi Shiran dropped a sentence: "Since the eldest lady is so good at being a person, then the old slave will definitely do my best for the eldest lady." ”
After Jun Yuchen saw this mother-in-law leave, he looked at Zichu with an incredulous expression and said, "Isn't it just a mother-in-law?" You are a dignified lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and your mother is the original wife of Ming Media Marrying, why do you want to whisper to these people? ”
Zichu glanced at him with a wry smile, and said expressionlessly, "Are you willing to do it?" People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Forget it, let's hurry back to Tsinghua Academy, so as not to provoke any more trouble. ”
Jun Yuchen looked at her back walking in front of her a little lonely, and only felt inexplicable distress in her heart. He looked back in the direction the woman had departed, and then followed quickly.
"Madam, what do you think the old slave should do with this?"
In Chunhua Courtyard, after listening to the mother-in-law's reply, Zhu Xiaoyan put down the pen in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How to deal with it?" Naturally...... Poke this in front of the old lady, and make it as big as possible. You see what I mean, right? ”
"Yes, yes, the old slave understood. However, even if the old slave wants to paint things darker, but in the final analysis, it is just a bowl of soup, will the old lady be angry because of this, these ........"
"The old lady will naturally not be angry because of a bowl of soup, but if we add something else to her, then the old lady will not easily spare her."
After Zhu Xiaoyan finished speaking, he ordered someone to send the boxes of bird's nest to the mother-in-law, and gave her some instructions, and then smiled and watched the mother-in-law turn around and walk out of her yard.
After returning to Tsinghua Academy, Zichu didn't know what was wrong, and he always felt a little uneasy. She and Jun Yuchen sorted out the account books, wrote a secret letter, and asked Mulberry to go out and hand it over to her uncle. Then, at this moment, I heard the door of the courtyard being pushed open, and a large group of very solemn mothers-in-law came in, and the leading one only said coldly to her after entering the door: "Miss, the old lady asked the slaves and maids to come and invite you to come to Muentang." ”
