CH.18 The Iron Tree Blossoms
In the account room of Mufeng Hall.
"This is your salary, you make it clear now, when you go out of this door, you tell me that the salary is not right, I don't recognize it!" Mr. Wen, who was in charge of the money, opened a book and wrote down the two expenses.
Chu Jiu counted her salary for the past ten days, only five taels, she pouted and said, "Why is it only five taels." She was still thinking in her heart that she would quickly earn enough ten taels to return to Chao Daxia.
After hearing this, Mr. Wen just wanted to scold her for not knowing what to do, but Xiao Jia on the side told her, "It's good that you can earn five taels in less than half a month, but if you go to work in an ordinary family, you don't know if you can earn five taels a month." ”
"I see, I misunderstood." Chu Jiu apologized embarrassedly, feeling that her complaint just now was a bit petty, and she had never seen the stupidity of the world being exposed to others like this, and at this time she roared in shame.
"Have you counted your wages? If you are logarithmic, you can sign your name in this book. Mr. Wen placed the notebook in front of them and pointed to the place where they were to sign.
Chu Jiu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then signed his name "Zhao Chujiu" on the seat corresponding to his salary. She looked at her childish handwriting and couldn't bear to look at it directly, and then hurriedly handed the brush to Sister Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia took the brush and signed his name on the notebook - Song Jialin.
Song Jialin. Chu Jiu silently read Sister Xiaojia's full name in his heart. It turns out that Sister Xiaojia's surname is Song!
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't read anything, I just thought that the handwriting you wrote was so beautiful, Sister Xiaojia." Chu Jiu looked at his crooked handwriting, which looked particularly clumsy next to Sister Xiaojia's free-flowing pen and ink.
"It's because you're too bad at writing, so you have to practice more in the future." Xiao Jia didn't forget to complain about the ridiculous handwriting of Chu Jiu.
Chu Jiu was deflated under the ridicule of Sister Xiaojia, and at the same time she set a small goal in her heart, she would practice more words when she had time in the future, and she must impress Sister Xiaojia.
"Gone." Xiao Jia woke up the stunned Chu Jiu, "Let's go back and pack our things." ”
Chu Jiu thanked Mr. Wen and followed Xiao Jia like a little follower.
Mr. Wen picked up the notebook after they left, and he fixed his eyes to see that the handwriting of the older maid just now was really good, and the handwriting was tense, and it could be inferred that the writer was born rich and noble, and had received the advice of calligraphy everyone. He shook his head, forget it, it's better for him not to think too much about these things.
The first nine and two people packed up their finesse and finally left Mufeng Hall. They walked down the street one after the other.
"Sister Xiaojia, where are you going?" The ninth trot of the first year kept up with Sister Xiaojia.
"We don't go the same way, what are you doing with me?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to go out and go together?"
A wagon and a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and two old men were shouting, "Take people back to Liangcheng by the way, two taels of silver for one person, and two taels for one person." ”
Xiao Jia stopped and asked them, "Boss, can two people be cheaper?" ”
"Two people and four ......" The tall man just wanted to open his mouth but was pushed away by the short man, "Wang Hu, you are sick, push me ......"
Wang Hu, a short man, said to Xiao Jia with a courteous face, "Two people are three taels, two people are three taels, it's already very cheap." ”
Chu Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Sister Xiaojia, the two of you are three or two, we can take the car to Liangcheng together." She looked at Sister Xiaojia pitifully, and now she can save it.
Sister Xiao Jia nodded, she actually wanted to save a little money, "Let's go to Liangcheng together." ”
"Great, thank you, Sister Xiaojia." Chu Jiu happily hugged Sister Xiao Jia and cheered.
Wang Hu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Girl, we want to wait for more than half an hour to see if we can carry a few more guests, or you can get into the carriage behind you and sit first, or walk around here and buy dry food by the way." ”
Xiao Jia took out three taels and gave them directly to Wang Hu, "This is the car money for the two of us." ”
"Okay, girl, let's go up and sit down first." Wang Hu lifted the curtain of the carriage and invited them in.
"On the ninth day of the first month, you don't have to give me back the one or two halves, you go buy our dry food for the next two days, and we will arrive in Liangcheng at least at noon the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, Sister Xiaojia, I'll go back as soon as I go." Chu Jiu was so happy that he didn't even let go of the burden on his shoulders and ran to buy dry food.
Sister Xiao Jia just wanted to shout to stop Chu Jiu, but disappeared into the crowd as soon as Chu Jiu disappeared. She lowered the curtain and shut out the noise. She didn't know if their group of people were still in Tusu City, and it was better for her to show her face less outside, so she thought about it for a while and decided to go on the road with Chu Jiu, and sometimes leave some things to Chu Jiu Dailao.
Outside the carriage, "Wang Hu, are you crazy?" Two people in two! ”
"Ma Dong, we haven't found any guests here for more than an hour, it's rare to have two guests, four taels are so expensive to scare them away, we don't want to make money."
The tall Ma Dong stopped making noise when he heard his explanation.
Chu Jiu bought some baked cakes from a baked cake stall, and then wrapped them in them and was about to go back.
"Second son." She didn't expect to meet Tu Su without tears on the street.
"Miss Zhao." Tu Su saw Chu Jiu carrying a burden without tears, "This ...... Are you packing your bags? ”
"Second son, I'm leaving Tusu City."
Tu Su was slightly startled without tears, "Why is it so sudden?" So where are you going to get out of here? He wanted to know what she was going to do next.
"Liang Cheng, my sister and I are going to go there." The moment Chu Jiu said Liang Cheng, he regretted in his heart, how did he say it, in case he knew that he colluded with outsiders to rob the prison and wanted to cure her, wouldn't he know where to arrest her?
"Then you have to be careful along the way." Tu Su remembered Liang Cheng without tears, and he thought that if he passed by there in the future, he might be able to meet her.
"Okay, thank you, second son, I'll go first." Chu Jiuqiang said goodbye with a smile, and then left in a hurry.
Situ Ren followed the direction that Tu Su was looking at, "The girls have gone away, what else are you looking at?" ”
"Nothing." Tu Su withdrew his eyes without tears and walked in the opposite direction.
"Nothing? It's been a long time since I've seen you talk to one of your girls for so long, why, the iron tree is blooming? Situ Ren chased after him and said in Tu Suwu's tearless ear.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Tu Su tearlessly pushed away Situ Ren who was teasing him. was said of this, and he suddenly found that after meeting this girl, sometimes he would unintentionally pay attention to her, and he still felt a little lost when he knew that she was leaving. But then I thought that Miss Zhao was only sixteen years old, and he was already twenty-six, so at such a big distance, I still don't want to harm other people's little girls.
