It was past noon when he woke up, and Qingtian found himself lying face down in the wine stains he vomited the night before, and his face was stained with filth. She only moved her sore hands and feet, and lay in the garbage on the bed, not half a minute. Joke, why is she suspicious? She's garbage herself. The sun was shining on her, and she could smell a clear smell of decay.

The old mothers pinched their noses to clean up a bed of begonia spring sleeping brocade quilts, Qingtian scrubbed his face and long hair indiscriminately, barely swallowed two mouthfuls of shrimp skin and vegetable porridge, and stood by the window with his elbows in a daze.

Downstairs from far to near the ground, there is a flower child shaking a rice bowl there singing the first lotus fall: "The door of the temple on the fifteenth day of the first month is open, the bull head and horse noodles are lined up on both sides, the big ghost holds the book of life and death, and the little ghost holds the soul card." The Lord of Hades sat in the middle, and a gust of wind blew into a little ghost. Running under the top of the paper, the king of Hades understands that in the next life, I will be called a cow, a horse and a dog, and I will never be given birth to a female skirt hairpin. One year old and two years old mother embrace, three years old four years old left my mother's arms, five years old six years old running on the street, seven years old eight years old mother love, nine years old ten years old sold me. I didn't earn any money, my mother beat me hard, the leather whip dipped me in water, and I learned to scream with a whip, and the leather whip made the skin and flesh open, and the thirteen or fourteen were sold on the spot, and I was happy at a young age. I didn't eat in the sun for three days, and I came to the underworld for five days, and I took a reed mat and rolled up the slave's house, and threw it in the wilderness and no one buried it. The crow from the south pecked at the slave's eyes, and the vicious dog from the north grabbed the slave's arms. Ask Hades what sin I have committed, and whether I should be treated like this. I would rather be a cow and a horse in the next life, rather than a woman to come to the yang world. ”

The singing voice was rough and playful, and after singing, a few female voices were mixed in, "Fuck your mother", "Get out of your father", it was the girls on the flower floor next to him who leaned out and laughed and scolded, but Qingtian was stunned when he heard it, until his waist was hot, and he suddenly returned to his soul, "Huh? ”

A little girl tied a satin skirt to her single silk shirt and trousers, and shook off a small jacket, "Grandma Qiu Yushi is here!" ”

Immediately, I heard a woman on the stairs shouting and asking, "Which one is Duan Qingtian?" ”

Qingtian was caught off guard, but he could also hear the hostility in his voice, and hurriedly straightened his dress and walked out of the house.

A menacing woman came along the corridor, leading seven or eight maids and old mothers, and went upstairs with a ring. The woman was a little old, wearing an agarwood-colored gold cardigan, a pearl pleated skirt, a five-beam crown with gold silk on her head, and a small pair of soybean eyes on a slender horse face, forcing Qingtian to look from head to toe.

"You are Duan Qingtian?"

Second Sister Duan was not there, and the aunt and maid of Huai Yatang were all panicked, and no one dared to stand in the way, only surrounded the second lady of the imperial court, "Grandma Qiu is here, and she has never been far away, you bear with me." "Grandma Qiu, sit in the room, stand here carefully and have a hall-like style." "Grandma, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Qingtian didn't wake up from a hangover, his half-wet hair was only stirring around the back of his head, he was already discouraged, and he was knocked through such fatigue, and he rushed to the top of his head with a breath, and asked knowingly: "I am Duan Qingtian, who are you?" ”

Grandma Qiu stretched her eyes, and a pair of little beans rolled out with a few bones, "Okay, you pheasant, Jinggu is teasing your sassy hair to confuse our master, don't you recognize me?" ”

I don't know which one, in short, the Qiu family and Huai Yatang's own old mother are all chattering: "Tsk, this is Grandma Qiu." "Sister Qing, don't you say it? This is Mrs. Goshi. "Qiu Yushi's main wife, I can always recognize it now." ……

As soon as you said a word, you even arched Grandma Qiu's fireworks vigorously, raised her eyebrows, and raised her chin to Qingtian.

Qingtian was not surprised, and only stretched out his hands to the back of his neck to make his hair, "I wonder what grandma has to teach me?" ”

"Huh", Grandma Qiu pulled her right hand out of her sleeve and spread it forward, "Where is my lord's silver last month?" Bring! ”

Qingtian pulled off the long silver hairpin with the lock bun, bit the hairpin into his mouth, twisted the damp hair again, and said inarticulately: "This is strange, what does your master's silver have to do with me?" ”

Hmph, you pheasant don't pretend to be confused here. The gold and silver on board the ship could not fill the fireworks village. Since our lord did it, you have become a thief, what antiques, cultural relics, filial piety of protégés, and gifts of colleagues...... Shipped the same way, all to fill the hole under you. Last month, he set up two tables of wine at your place, and after eating and drinking, you coaxed him to 'hang four pairs and two tables' for you. Hey, do you have any reason to do business? If you talk about 'four pairs and two sets', you can't even drink the clear soup, and you really spend the money of sixteen flower wines? Your hearts are so dark! We'll talk about that later. Yesterday, yesterday was the joy of our master's promotion, kindly called you, you were half an hour late, and you sang such a set of mournful tunes, do you have a conscience? After singing, the stool didn't sit hot, and he lifted his butt and left. Do you know how ugly our master's face will be after you are gone, ah? Our lord is doing you because he wants you to deal with him well and entertain him. Doing business, pay attention to a penny, you get what you pay for, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm a businessman, we never sell things short of catties or two, you do this is a profiteer, a percent of the goods are not worth it, but extorted ten percent of our silver. If you don't do business well, the money will be returned to us. So a big Yushi Mansion, the doorman, the gardener, the sedan chair, the coachman, the cook, the clerk, the nurse, the maid, which one doesn't need money? Every month, I point to his little money to live, and I haven't seen last month's money, so I must have sent you here in a dog's way. I don't want more, so you can return this money to me, and I will let you live in peace. Otherwise, pluck out not a single hair left on your body! After talking endlessly about this big string, he stood still, and the lion was mighty over the dragon.

Qingtian unhurriedly knotted his long hair, pulled out the long hairpin in his mouth and slowly inserted it into the bun, with a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, like a half-faded embroidered shoe on one foot, shaking and swinging, "Grandma is really a happy person." I don't know what kind of business my grandmother's house used to be? No matter what kind of business you do, there is a good saying: you are always a guest when you enter the door. Your lord is your lord with you, and with me he is a guest of our court. If you don't want your master to do our business, you should keep him at home, and if you have been released to us, you must abide by the rules of our hall. Three festivals a year, guests make flower heads for the people, which is the right reason. Grandma only took out my account books for this month and flipped through them, not to mention hanging four pairs of double sets, hanging ten pairs of double sets, and even my little girl who just debuted had someone hang thirty-two sets for her. Grandma is lonely and unheard, and when she sees a radish, she treats it as ginseng, and she is afraid of making people laugh when she says it. ”

"You-"

"Besides, last night, it was not uncommon for people to turn five or six rounds a night, don't say that I sang a set of tunes, I just got out of the car and touched the ground, and the bureau account that should be given is indispensable. I don't care if the house is promoted or the wife is dead," Qingtian didn't pay any attention to Grandma Qiu's other "you-", and said with his eyes in one go, "Anyway, the guest only told me to 'pick the best ones and sing'." What I'm good at is 'mourning', and the guests don't like to listen to it, so they just come to talk to my mother, and don't do my business." Finally, let's talk about the monthly salary, the court has not sent a message to me Duan Qingtian, let me take care of your lord's money, and your lord's money should go to the household department. I didn't go to your house to ask for the debt, and you ran to the hall to ask for money as a grandmother? It reached the ears of the colleagues of the Imperial Historian, and in case it was immoral to join him, I was afraid that the new official would have to move to the left within three days of taking office, and then I would sing 'mourning and dejectedness', but it would be very suitable for the situation. ”

Grandma Qiu poked her finger straight in front of Qingtian's face, hating, but she still could only say: "You, you, you-"

The upstairs corridor was full of people, the girl holding the flower dew and the old mother holding the washing water all stopped to watch the excitement. Zhaohua, Diexian and other people had just gotten up, and they hadn't freshened up yet, and they also heard the movement and rushed over. Huai Yatang up and down didn't know that the eldest lady Qingtian was shrewd, and looked at Grandma Qiu with a smile, but it was Gui Zhen, the little girl in Qingtian's own room, who had the intention to be reckless, and jumped out to be a peacemaker, "Grandma, don't be angry, the girl hasn't woken up after eating, and she spoke a little rush." Grandma, you sit inside, and the slave maid will make you a cup of tea, and take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger. ”

When the big girl Duyun saw the flattering appearance of the people in the house, she was angry, and laughed dryly, "Guizhen, I asked you to serve tea when I came to visit the night before, I don't know where you went." Who didn't call you at this time, and you rushed to the front? If I really saw Mrs. Fate, it was different. The feathers haven't grown yet, but they will pick up the high branches and fly away, so just fly far away and fly out to show me. ”

Gui Zhen kindly played a round and was scolded, since she was uneven, she raised her neck and rolled her eyes twice, "What the girl just said, everyone who enters the door is a guest, what's wrong with me making tea for a guest?" ”

"Guest?" Qingtian turned his eyes and stared at Gui Zhen, and there was lightning in his eyes, "Whose guest?" But your guest, huh? Gui Zhen, Grandma Qiu dares to be the guest you invited? When he boarded, he scared Gui Zhen half to death, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Qingtian raised his head, but he also opened a hand to Grandma Qiu, with a playful look on his face, "Grandma, my girl said that you were a guest she invited, I don't know if grandma is setting up wine or touching peace?" Grandma, don't be surprised, you can't hang up the account when you come to the door for the first time, now put down three hundred silver, let's refund more and make up for less. ”

Grandma Qiu poked her finger straight in front of Qingtian's face, hating, but she still could only say: "You, you, you-"
