Chapter 59: Worthy or Unworthy
The maid did not deceive people, Miss Zhou did sit in front of the star fruit at this time, looking down at the star fruit lying on the bed.
"Sit down!" Obviously it is difficult for a strong man, but she asked the maid to put a cotton cushion on the chair to show her thoughtfulness: "I know that you have an injury in the back, but it won't hurt if you put a cotton pad." I love being condescending with multiple people! ”
With a look at her, the maid went over and picked up the star fruit, which was obviously not refusal.
Carambola didn't understand what this eldest lady was doing when she came to her, they didn't have any grudges, let alone friendship, what could they say?
She hid her doubts and sat down in her chair in pain.
Seeing that she was actually sitting without frowning, Miss Zhou glanced at her ass curiously. There was contempt in my heart: can a cotton pad stop the pain? Since it has been well for a long time, he is still lying on the bed and pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, and he is really shameless as Erya said.
"What happened to Mr. An?" Miss Zhou was straight to the point: "You'd better tell me honestly, otherwise no one can help you." ”
There was fragrant tea on the desk, and the star fruit happened to be thirsty and drank water with the tea cup, sipping lightly one after another, without the meaning of answering.
She didn't ask her to help, and she didn't know if she wanted to help.
Miss Zhou didn't urge the star fruit, and instructed the maid: "Miss Yang is thirsty, go and pour her a big bowl." This small cup of tea can't stand up. ”
The maid had to order out, and after a while, she came in with a large bowl in one hand and a large teapot in the other. She put the bitter tea into the sea bowl and brewed the tea in front of the star fruit: "This tea not only quenches thirst, but also clears heat and detoxifies." Girl, you just got hit with the board, and it's easy to get angry, so it's good for you to drink more. ”
Miss Zhou pushed the sea bowl in front of the star fruit: "This is Miss Ben's heart, drink it." ”
Star fruit glanced into the sea bowl, and the amount of bitter tea was not less. This thing is similar to Coptis chinensis, and it can be so bitter that people's tongues are knotted when they drink it......
Carambola looked at Miss Zhou and smiled lightly, and drank it one by one while holding the sea bowl.
An Zhiyuan's matter can't be said, that is her reputation An Zhiyuan's face. Not to mention drinking Kuding tea that clears heat and detoxifies, even if you are sentenced to a heavy sentence, you must not say it.
After drinking a sea bowl, the maid wants to renew it for her.
The star fruit was so drunk that she didn't stop it, she only smiled and teased: "Miss let me drink tea bowl by bowl, do you think I eat too much these days, and I will eat the yamen poor?" ”
Miss Zhou, who was bored playing with her handkerchief, was stunned, she has bullied people a lot over the years, but she rarely met star fruit like this.
She looked at the star fruit twice, and felt that this girl was pleasing, and her smiling appearance made you feel ruthless.
was about to soften his heart, and remembered what Erya said to her. This star fruit took advantage of the Qiao family's distress and even stole mountain ginseng, with this character, she deserved to be tossed to death.
Thinking about it this way, Miss Zhou is even more disgusted with star fruit: fox and charming things, it will really entangle people, even Miss Ben was almost fooled, no wonder Qiao An's kid was eaten to death.
Her face sank, and she felt that drinking Kuding tea was cheap for her: "Think this tea is tasteless?" Then change the chili water! ”
The maid really went out, star fruit lowered her head and thought for a while, sighed at Miss Zhou, and shook her head.
"You disdain?" Miss Zhou couldn't see her indifferent appearance, and glared at her with a frown: "What do you think chili water can't do to you?" If you can't drink it, what will you sprinkle it on your eyes? ”
She was so angry that the star fruit hurt a little unbearable, so she moved her ass to change her focus. After the pain was relieved, she looked at Miss Zhou and asked, "No injustice or hatred, what did Miss do when she ruined my eyes?" If it is to force An Zhiyuan's matter, it will be avoided to pour chili water into my eyes, and it will be more convenient to give me Heding Red directly. ”
This means that he will not say it even if he dies.
The maid brought the chili water and put it in front of the star fruit, and the star fruit had no intention of drinking: "If the young lady thinks that I have committed a crime, it is better to go to court and let the county master judge me." I just died in court, and Miss Yu has nothing to do with it. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to set up a private torture hall like this. ”
Miss Zhou's face was black and black, and she didn't dare to splash chili water on star fruit in the end.
"Okay, I won't ask An Zhiyuan." Miss Zhou took a deep breath to calm her anger, and then stuffed the crumpled handkerchief into her sleeve, glared at the star fruit and ordered: "As long as you don't pester Qiao An from now on, Miss Ben will let you go back." ”
Joann?
These days, star fruit thinks about Joan all the time. She didn't know where he was, she didn't know if he was okay, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep well.
She felt that she didn't deserve Joan anymore, but she had to see him. I can't see her well, how will she live the rest of her life?
"Do you know Joan?"
"You just swear that you won't see him again."
Star fruit didn't want to argue with her, shook her head and sighed: "You still pour me chili water, anywhere." ”
Miss Zhou's face was so angry that her face turned blue, and her chest was even more uneven. She raised her hand, but finally hung down angrily: "As much as you want, as long as it's not too excessive, I can give it to you." One hundred taels or one hundred and fifteen? ”
Sell Joan to her, one hundred and fifty taels of silver?
"Your identity is more than enough for Qiao An, as long as your father and mother go to Qiao's house through the wind, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Wang will be willing to come." Star fruit felt sour in her heart, and her buttocks hurt so much that she couldn't sit still, so she stood up: "You have become a relative, you are the grandmother of the main house, which fox dares to approach Qiao An's body?" ”
Miss Zhou was stunned again: It's not that she is lost in money, how can she not want money to show her the way?
But who wants to marry Joan, is he worthy of the way he is now?
Miss Zhou was a little embarrassed, but she was embarrassed to blackface with star fruit again. She felt that this star fruit might be an understanding person, and it would come faster to discuss it carefully.
"He can't afford me, I just want to recruit him to the Zhou family as a staff. Following the Zhou family, he will naturally have a good future in the future. ”
Star fruit doesn't know what a staff member is, but since there will be a good future, it should be a good thing.
"After entering the Zhou family, his marriage has to be decided by the Zhou family. He is going to do great things in the future, and it is not good to have romantic debts when he is young, so you don't pester him anymore. ”
The star fruit slowed down, and finally just smiled and didn't speak.
Miss Zhou glanced at the star fruit deeply, and got up to leave: "Qiao An will inevitably be a member of my Zhou family, if you dare to pester him again, don't blame me for being unkind to you at that time." ”
She left, and star fruit stood in place and watched her back, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
When it was almost dark, someone sent star fruit home.
Aunt Wang took Qiao Xiu to stay at Yang's house, and when she saw the star fruit coming back safely, she was so excited that she burst into tears, and folded her hands to thank God: "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe......
Ah Niang and Ah Sister helped the star fruit into the bedroom, full of questions to ask, and Aunt Wang endured it in the end.
Carambola couldn't care about A-Niang's face, so she took Qiao Xiu's hand and asked her, "Is your second brother back?" ”
Qiao Xiu was embarrassed to see her mother, and Aunt Wang, who was sitting on the side wiping her tears, came over, held the hand of star fruit and said with a smile: "I'm back, he is tired and tired after a lot of things at home, I'll let him rest first, and then let him come to see you." ”
As soon as she saw Qiao Xiu's appearance, Carambola knew that Qiao An hadn't come back yet, and Aunt Wang said that, but she didn't want her to worry.
She smiled at Aunt Wang and said, "No need, let him study well." ”
Aunt Wang was obviously relieved, she was afraid that the star fruit would ask again, so she pulled Qiao Xiu to say goodbye: "Your Uncle Qiao was injured, and Ping'er was injured a lot in order to protect me, since you are fine, we will go back first." ”
As soon as the Qiao family left, the Ye family glared at the star fruit fiercely: "It's okay to give silver and be a coolie, and dare to go to court for the sake of his family's bad things." You're missing eyes, aren't you? ”
Carambola took advantage of the situation and hugged Ye's arm, leaned on her shoulder and admitted her mistake: "Auntie, I know it's wrong." I don't care about the Qiao family's affairs in the future, and I won't have anything to do with the Qiao family anymore, okay? ”
Ye sat on the edge of the bed and sulked, not talking.
"Mother, Aunt Wang has taught me for so many years to be my master, and Zhao Langzhong is my teacher who kowtowed. I just do it for the sake of master-apprentice love, and I don't have the reason to watch from the sidelines. Mother, you and your father have taught us since we were children that we must have a conscience, and our daughter should keep it in mind and dare not embarrass the second elder. ”
Ye Shi nodded her forehead and said angrily: "Breaking into such a big mess, or am I not able to teach your father?" ”
Star fruit hugged Ye's neck and cried with a sad face: "Aren't they all good?" Mother, I was beaten on the board, and they were so energetic. I went back to raise it for three days, but it still hurt. Mother, do you think I will have a scar, such a big scar, it is ugly to death. ”
Ye Shi thought about the scene of her beating, and tears fell down her eyes.
Seeing her mother crying, star fruit immediately panicked. She took her sleeve to wipe her tears, and then changed her words: "I coaxed your mother, it doesn't hurt at all, really." When the official saw that I was a girl like a flower, he was not willing to beat me hard, and the boards were raised high and fell gently. I'm pretending to be in pain......"
Ye took the star fruit into his arms, rubbed her hair, and said over and over again: "Silly child, silly child......"
Yang Cui also wiped her tears, she originally made a bowl of sugar water for star fruit. After seeing this scene, he drank it cleanly, and then stuffed the sugar jar into the carambola's arms: "Eat, it won't hurt if you eat it." ”
Then he went to persuade her mother: "It's good to come back safely, Tao'er is already uncomfortable, how can she recuperate if you cry like this again?" ”
Ye really stopped crying, she pulled the hand of the star fruit tightly, and then retreated to her house sadly.
Yang Cui comforted the star fruit twice, and then went over to see her mother. The entanglement between star fruit and An Zhiyuan, Zhang Cun was drunk and told Yang Cui to know. She has been in her heart for a long time, and after thinking about it, she still decided to tell A-Niang to know.
She told the matter carefully, looked at her mother fearfully and said, "The business is not tight, it's a big deal, let's do coolies to eat and drink again." But the Qiao family saw that they had been retaliated against, and the An family didn't know if they were willing to let go. If you come to embarrass us again......"
Ye Shi blushed in anxiety when he heard this, and circled around the room with his hands folded: "What should I do then?" People come to the door, what can we do? ”
"It's better to let Peach and Joan become. The An family couldn't do anything about the Qiao family, and they couldn't do it again in a short time. If Tao'er marries into his family, she can at least live a stable life. I think Aunt Wang is also quite concerned about Tao'er, and her family is not as rich as before, so I don't think I will object again. ”
At this time, Aunt Wang was burning incense to the Bodhisattva, kneeling on the futon and begging the Bodhisattva to bless Qiao An's safety over and over again.
Qiao Kangcheng lay on the bed, his fists clenched tightly: If you don't get ahead, you can only be bullied by others! An'er, come back quickly, our old Qiao family will point to you wearing a purple robe and shining on the lintel!
