Chapter 81: Scolding
When Zhaocai rushed over and rubbed on Tang Lu'er's leg, Jiaojiao also stared at the scented moon cake box, only to see it hesitate for a while, then wagging its tail and rubbing it this way. Zhaocai was squinting his eyes and coquettish, and when he saw that the stupid dog dared to step forward, he raised his beard, turned his head and opened his mouth, and made a sharp threat. Jiaojiao's hair that she had just put down exploded again, and she retracted her short limbs that had rubbed over, and leaned down unto be outdone, staring at Zhaocai with a shudder.
Tang Lu'er smiled: "It's early in the morning, how did you come here, don't go back soon, and the people in the courtyard of the four girls will have to look for dogs everywhere in a while." ”
As he was talking, a voice that seemed to be surprised and relieved came from behind: "Why did you sneak here again, my good girl, come back quickly, don't get dirty, be careful that the girl scolds you!" ”
Tang Lu'er turned around, and saw a mother-in-law with a slippery bun and a satin folded chrysanthemum brown gown trotting towards her, she recognized that it was Mrs. Chen, the steward of the kitchen of the Chen Mansion, and then looked forward, and saw that there was a donkey cart parked on the opposite street, which was the car that the kitchen was converted to buy.
Jiaojiao saw that her backer was coming, so she raised her head proudly, glanced at Zhaocai with disdain, and then twisted her round body, and ran towards Aunt Chen with her tail and buttocks.
"Hey, why did you get so dirty?" Aunt Chen picked up Jiaojiao, glanced at it, and after screaming, she continued to count, "I just don't have a long memory, I still run so hard in such dirty places, I don't have to lower my identity, and the girl is good-natured, just mess around with you, no matter what sour and smelly places, let you roll around!" ”
Tang Lu'er heard the meaning of Sang scolding Huai in those words, and she didn't care, but turned around with a smile and said hello: "Aunt Chen came out so early." ”
"Yo, it turned out to be Miss Tang." Aunt Chen seemed to see Tang Lu'er at this time, so she glanced at Tang Lu'er with a smile, and then squinted her eyes and swept the fortune at Tang Lu'er's feet, and then pretended to say: "The girl should also take care of her own cats, although the beast has no eyesight, can't look at people's eyes, can't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, has a wild temperament, and dares to bite anything." We can't get angry with it, but you, the master, are in charge. Look at how many times Jiaojiao has been bullied by it, look at this tail, how much hair has been scratched off! Aunt Chen touched Jiaojiao's somewhat sparse tail as she spoke, and then looked at Jiaojiao's aggrieved whimper, she continued: "That is, the fourth girl is good-tempered and doesn't like to care, if it is someone else, how can a cat be so rampant!" ”
In fact, animals are the ones who are the best at reading people's faces, although Zhaocai didn't understand what Aunt Chen's crackling call meant, but the other party exuded such an unfriendly aura, and immediately made it narrow its pupils, erect its beard, open its mouth to show its teeth, and made a sharp cat meow at Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen was taken aback, and immediately glared at Tang Lu'er and pointed at Zhaocai and said: "Look, you see, it's like this wild mongrel, don't you give it a beating, let it know the stakes!" ”
"My family is a purebred civet and very well-behaved." Tang Lu'er squatted down with a smile, and while smoothing it on Zhaocai's back, she continued, "Jiaojiao likes to play with it the most, Zhaocai just greeted you, look, how good, do you want to come and touch it." ”
Aunt Chen looked at Zhaocai's green and shiny eyes, staring at her eyes, how could she see a half-obedient appearance, I was afraid that before she approached, she would have to be scratched by it. Looking at the girl surnamed Tang again, she still smiled innocently, as if she didn't take what she just said to heart at all, as if she had splashed water on a stone, and it was useless.
For a while, Aunt Chen only felt that the breath in her chest was even more blocked, her lips moved, and finally she had to snort, hugged Jiaojiao and turned away.
"Lady won't come in and sit? My grandma still has some good wine left! Tang Lu'er followed behind and sighed, and Aunt Chen immediately walked towards the donkey cart with the footsteps of men and women. Mrs. Tang's stinky temper, she has been taught, she is tough, protective and willing to be cheeky, she is an old thorn, and she can't be easily provoked.
After watching the donkey cart leave, Tang Luer lowered her eyes, smiled and counted the fortune sentence: "Look, you always bully Jiaojiao, even Aunt Chen is upset with me, next time be gentle, pluck a few less dog hairs, people Jiaojiao is a girl knows no!" ”
Zhaocai squinted his eyes, meowed, shook his head, and rubbed Tang Lu'er's hand coquettishly.
Tang Lu'er smiled and touched the top of its head, then stood up and led it towards Meng San's shop. She knew why Aunt Chen had so much resentment towards her, and it was all because of Meng San's misfortune.
Aunt Chen has a widowed daughter at a young age, the woman used to come to Meng San to buy things, and Meng San's guy was born with a mouth that can coax women, and because he opened a shop, so talking to a woman is naturally sweeter than sweet, plus his appearance is not bad, and he has a good craft, so he came and went, and the daughter of Aunt Chen moved her heart, Tang Luer remembered that at that time, the woman came to Meng San almost every day to report, and found an excuse to sew and wash Meng San's clothes, and was sent food, so she almost didn't live directly in this shop. In the end, rumors spread, and Meng San was really scared, so he had to talk to the woman.
Tang Lu'er didn't know what the two people said, she just found that since Meng San talked to the woman, she had inexplicably had an enemy, and as long as she met that woman on weekdays, she would inevitably be coldly spoken. Tang Lu'er was a little inexplicable at first, but later learned that after the woman's reason was rejected by Meng San, she began to think wildly, thinking that Meng San disliked her widowhood, and then she hated all the women who were close to Meng San. Therefore, Tang Luer was shot even if she was lying down.
The best thing is that just a few months ago, the woman deliberately found a reason to lead the old lady to find Tang Lu'er. As a result, no one expected that Mrs. Tang was a fierce grandmother, and before the woman could speak, Mrs. Tang beat the person out with a big stick, and then chased a street with a broom, and since then, this feud has been settled.
"Oh, sure enough, the girl is back, I just heard a voice outside, and I wanted to go out and see." As soon as Tang Lu'er walked into the shop, she greeted the apprentices in the shop, and saw Meng San wearing a dark blue short coat, shoes, wet hair, with a bit of wildness, smiling and walking out of it with white teeth. He has always had the habit of showering in the morning, except in winter, spring, summer and autumn.
"Third brother early, is my grandma here?" Tang Lu'er asked while handing the moon cake box in her hand to Meng San. The fortune that followed Tang Lu'er all the way in couldn't reach the box and couldn't get food, so he was so anxious that he kept wagging his tail at Tang Lu'er's feet.
There are several rooms behind Meng San's shop, and in addition to the one where he and the apprentices in the shop live, there are two rooms for miscellaneous items. After Mrs. Tang's house was burned, he asked people to clean up a clean house, and replaced all the things in it with new ones, and then invited Mrs. Tang and Tang Luer to come over to live temporarily. It's just that this is where men live in the end, and Mrs. Tang felt that it was not appropriate to let Tang Lu'er live here with her, and it happened that Chen Yanhong came over to invite Tang Lu'er to Chen's mansion, so Mrs. Tang pondered for a while, and nodded and agreed.
"Keep the snacks for the children to satisfy their hunger." Meng San smiled and pushed away the moon cakes handed over by Tang Lu'er, and then wiped his neck with a towel, and said: "Grandma Tang is staring at people working in the alley, hehe, I'm afraid that someone will cut corners for her, so I'll go over and stare at it as soon as I have time these days, and I can't persuade her to come back." ”
"Why did you go out so early, I'll go to my grandmother's house to have a look." Tang Lu'er happily took back the moon cakes, called a word of fortune, and walked back.
Meng San shouted later: "Girl, have you eaten breakfast, Li Ji has hot soy milk, I'll buy you a bowl back?" And xiaolongbao, what kind of stuffing do you want? ”
"I just want soy milk, I don't need the buns, I just had a snack at Chen's house."
"Don't keep eating dim sum as a meal, beware of becoming a little fat pig!" Meng San looked at Tang Lu'er's back and said with a smile, then threw the towel aside, put on his shoes, picked up the crockpot on the table and went out.
After Tang Luer entered Mrs. Tang's house, she looked at the neat beds, clean tables and chairs, and sighed, grandma just loves cleanliness, if she wants to live, it may become a pig's nest. After putting the moon cake on the table, seeing that Zhaocai was still persevering to follow her, as soon as she stopped, it rubbed on her feet, Tang Luer smiled and said: "Gluttonous cat, I'll eat it for you right away, what's the hurry." ”
After taking out the small dried fish that he specially begged from Chen's house, putting it in a small saucer, and resting it on the ground, Tang Lu'er gave Zhaocai Shun Mao and said: "Zhaocai is good, let's eat dried fish, but we must also be diligent in catching mice, don't learn that tsundere dog is lazy to eat, you know no." ”
"Meow Woo" beckoned to rub Tang Lu'er's hand perfunctorily, and buried his head in dealing with the food.
Tang Lu'er squatted on the ground and looked at it with a smile for a while, and was about to stand up, when she suddenly saw the mud-sealed wine jars resting in the corner.
She was stunned, then got up and walked over, looked at the only few jars of wine left in front of her, and sighed softly in her heart. That night's fire destroyed her grandmother's wine, and now these jars, which were buried near the root of the wall and under the plum tree, have to be dug up first.
Tang Lu'er touched the well-sealed mud and smiled faintly, she also said that she would steal it out quietly, but the result was ......
Also, her grandmother's room full of wine, the damn thief, was so perverted that he couldn't steal it, and he broke it all.
Woo...... I really feel sorry for her, how much silver does it cost, but now her grandmother lost the wine, and she has to spend money to rebuild the house!
"Girl, come out and drink soy milk." When he was secretly cursing in his heart, Meng San's enthusiastic and hearty voice came from outside, Tang Lu'er came back to his senses, answered outside, and walked out. Zhaocai just finished eating the dried fish, licked his mouth, screamed in satisfaction, shook his head, and then ran out with Tang Lu'er.
"I also bought some buns for Grandma Tang, girl, send them to your grandma." After seeing Tang Lu'er finish drinking the soy milk, Meng San pushed the hot oiled paper bag next to Tang Lu'er.
"Grandma hasn't had breakfast yet?" Tang Lu'er was stunned.
"I ate, but I saw that she didn't eat much, and she ran around early in the morning, I'm afraid she would be hungry too." Meng San smiled, stood up as she spoke, Tang Lu'er glanced at Meng San, for some reason, she always felt that Meng San cared about Mrs. Tang, but was also very afraid of Mrs. Tang, as long as Mrs. Tang was in front of him, he was a little uncomfortable.
Tang Lu'er thought about it, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "You can help me send it to grandma, just now I saw that grandma had some clothes that were not washed, and I had to wash them in a while." ”
"I'll come back and wash the buns after delivering them."
"The third brother will help me deliver it, and I can help the third brother wash his clothes by the way." Tang Lu'er was happy to raise the conditions, probably because Meng San provoked too many women and had a romantic name on his body, so Mrs. Tang always looked down on Meng San. But after all, it was their own business, and now Meng San had really helped them a lot, but every time Mrs. Tang had a black face at Meng San, she was embarrassed to look at her. I still have to let them have more contact and reach out not to hit smiling people, so that grandma can have less prejudices.
When Meng Sanyi heard this, he didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded: "Cheng, brother will help you run this leg." After speaking, as if he was afraid that Tang Lu'er would regret it, he picked up the oil paper bag, turned around and left. He's been unwashed for days, and he's having a headache......
"Meng San !!" Sure enough, as soon as Meng San walked out of the shop, he heard the familiar angry voice coming from his shop, he quickly quickened his pace, rushed towards the alley with a smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tang Lu'er stood in the yard, looking at the big pot of spiky clothes, only to feel that his temples jumped suddenly, he made a mistake, he was too misguided, how many days of clothes had he collected? !
I just found the washboard, but I found that the pancreas was gone, so I went back to Mrs. Tang's house to look for it, but I didn't find the pancreas. Tang Lu'er sighed helplessly, wiped her hands dry, took the copper plate, and went out to buy pancreas.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the shop, she saw a group of menacing people walking on the other side of the street. At first, Tang Lu'er didn't pay much attention to it, but after taking another look, she realized that something was wrong. Those people seemed to be coming for her, and they all seemed familiar to her, and they seemed to be all subordinates of the Chen Mansion. Especially the one in the lead, the mother-in-law who was wearing a dark green gown, she remembered that the other party was the old mother next to Chen Yijie, surnamed Rong.
Oh no, Chen Yijie!
Tang Lu'er was shocked, and immediately determined that these old mothers were really coming at her!
Sure enough, Tang Lu'er was just about to turn around and retreat to the shop, when Mama Rong stepped forward quickly, and scolded Tang Lu'er with her head and face: "The little hooves without face, the little prostitute who makes the next work, all day long to seduce the men with some foxy methods, and if you can't get it, you will use all means to poison it, what a good man, now the people you get are not ghosts or ghosts, escape, I see where you can escape!" ”
