Chapter 15: Return of the Jewels
Zhou Xiajin couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and scolded: "Sheng Rujin, you lowly concubine, you are so rude......"
Before she finished scolding, Sheng Rulan's scream came from the garden: "You ugly girl, get out of here!"
Zhou Xiajin heard Sheng Rulan's voice, and his eyes lit up. She glanced at Sheng Rujin viciously, and said in a low voice: "Wait for you to look good!"
She said and got out of the pavilion and hurried to find Sheng Rulan.
On the pavilion, Xie Chengxiu looked at the leisurely Sheng Rujin, and asked with a smile: "Miss Shan, have you ever offended you?"
"Gongzi Xie, you and I meet for the first time in our lives, how can we talk about offending?"
Sheng Rujin said with a smile.
Xie Chengxiujun had a hurt look on his face: "Then why is Miss Sheng so cold to Xie someone?" Don't even give a cup of tea?"
Sheng Rujin smiled: "I just said, the little woman has not recovered from typhoid fever, and the ones she has eaten and drunk are all sick, in case Xie Gongzi eats a good meal and drinks and has diarrhea, this little woman really can't afford it." ”
Xie Chengxiu: "......"
Well, it's clear that it's a bite to eat, and he won't let him touch what he drinks.
Xie Chengxiu became more and more interested in her. This girl...... It's interesting.
Sheng Rujin was wondering why Xie Chengxiu hadn't been angry with her, and suddenly saw his eyes.
Her heart trembled.
What does this mean? What is this person's quirks?
The more abuse, the more joyful?
Sheng Rujin thought about it, and a layer of goosebumps got on his arm. Just when she was still thinking about how to get Xie Cheng away. Sheng Rulan and Zhou Xiajin came hand in hand.
Xie Chengxiu suddenly came over with his ear: "Little beauty, do you need my help?"
Sheng Rujin didn't want to blurt out: "Get out!"
Xie Chengxiu smiled, and Shi Shiran turned to sit not far away...... Watching a play.
Sheng Rulan went to the pavilion and glared at Sheng Rujin: "Sheng Rujin, how long will the ugly girl in your yard follow me?" If you don't let her go back, I'm going to tell Daddy!"
Sheng Rujin slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then saw Cui Ying staring at the pavilion not far away.
She smiled and said, "Second sister, why are you so angry?" Didn't you say it before? I sent Cui Ying to find you to get the jewelry that I 'borrowed'. She can't get it and is afraid to go back and eat my board, so she naturally wants to follow you. ”
"You!" Sheng Rulan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Sheng Rujin sighed: "Second sister, there are only seventy, eighty or ninety pairs of worthless jewelry." Is it so hard to find?"
Sheng Rulan's face was flushed with anger.
Naturally, she didn't want to return the brocade jewelry. You must know that those are all good things that Sheng Yuming personally appreciated, and some things are rare even for her mother Zhou.
She originally wanted to drag it out, but she was so thin-skinned that she didn't dare to ask for it. You can justifiably claim it for yourself.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Rujin seemed to guess her thoughts, and deliberately sent a stupid ugly girl to beg for it.
This is called Cuiying's ugly girl. Words coax and deceive can't leave, and people can't beat her if they are rough.
And this ugly girl is like a ghost, blocking the door of her yard every day.
Wherever she goes, Cui Ying follows. As soon as I got the opportunity, I came to ask for it.
Sheng Rulan is going crazy with her these days. She couldn't get out of the door, and she missed the meeting with the other ladies.
Today she heard that Zhou Xiajin was coming, so she hurried out to greet her. I didn't expect to be entangled by Cui Ying again.
With companions who share the same hatred, Zhou Xiajin is confident.
She sneered and deliberately said to Sheng Rulan: "Cousin Rulan, I see that you, the eldest sister of the concubine, were born to be cautious. But also, my aunt was born lowly and had no stomach. I think you'll just give her all the jewelry. We don't meet her. ”
Sheng Rulan heard this and scolded in her heart.
If she was willing to pay it back, she wouldn't have delayed it until now. I don't have any eyesight!
Sheng Rujin smiled, looked up and said, "What Cousin Zhou said is that the second sister is aggrieved when she wears this kind of worthless jewelry. Naturally, I won't hide it privately and not return it. ”
Zhou Xiajin said proudly: "That's nature. The daughter-in-law's things are naturally good. Who's going to covet that little bit of you?"
Sheng Rujin smiled and said to Sheng Rulan: "Second sister, you see that Cousin Zhou has spoken." ”
Sheng Rulan only felt that her heart was dripping blood. She gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll pay you back!"
She went and told the maid to fetch it.
Sheng Rujin smiled undiminishedly: "The second sister is really generous." ”
Sheng Rulan said quietly: "Big sister, don't be complacent first." Don't forget that your mother told you to live with me when you get well of your typhoid fever......"
She didn't finish her sentence, but it was full of threats.
Sheng Rujin smiled and said: "What the second sister said is that my mother's fist is kind, and I am so moved that I want to cry." In the future, I want my second sister to take care of me. I won't be hungry and cold, and I will make compromises. ”
Sheng Rulan's face was flushed. She really wanted Sheng Rujin to be "hungry and cold, compromised". But this must not be spoken.
Now that Sheng Rujin said this, she would not be able to do it secretly in the future.
Sheng Rulan stared at Sheng Rujin's smiling face and wanted to stare through a hole.
Sheng Rujin smiled and looked back: "Second sister, you are staring at me like this, but do you think I am more beautiful today?" ”
Sheng Rulan: "......"
Zhou Xiajin: "!! ”
Xie Chengxiu couldn't help but laugh out loud anymore. This eldest lady of the Sheng family is angry and can't pay for her life.
Soon the jewelry was taken. Cui Ying is like a general who has won a battle, holding her chest and abdomen, and coming to the pavilion with a jewelry box.
She said loudly: "Miss, I will listen to your words and ask for the jewelry." Click on it, if there's anything missing, I'll ask for it again!"
Sheng Rulan's face turned green when she heard this. Cuiying said this, doesn't she suspect that she still has a private collection of jewelry that has not been returned to Sheng Rujin?!
It's just that the uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it!
Sheng Rulan held back her anger: "Bold Diao slave, what do you mean?" Could it be that Miss Ben still has some jewelry hidden and hasn't returned it?"
Cui Ying looked at her with disdain: "I didn't say that, but if the second lady wanted to pay it back, she should have let me take the jewelry to my life." It won't make me wait for almost two days. ”
Sheng Rulan's face was as red as blood, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.
Zhou Xiajin on the side suddenly said slowly: "It's just an ugly slave, so bold, the following offenses, such as Cousin Lan, don't you let people beat her?"
Sheng Rulan gritted her teeth: "Someone ...... come"
"Wait."
Sheng Rujin, who had been silent, opened his mouth slowly.
Sheng Rulan and Zhou Xiajin stared at her together, seeing how she could save Cuiying, an ugly girl.
Sheng Rujin twisted up an agate necklace and sighed: "Second sister, I know that you will never covet my jewelry, but you see that there should be eleven agate beads, why are there only eight left?" There is also this string of southern beads, which should have been able to circle twice, why is there only one circle left?......"
