Chapter 20, Loopholes
Su Zhixi was half-lying on the Huanghuali carved Taishi chair, holding a fan in his hand and swaying to fan the wind.
Yuan Yue brought a basin of water over to freshen up for her.
Su Zhixi heard the sound, raised his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that it was Yuan Yue, so he closed his eyes again and asked, "Why didn't you see Gunuo coming to serve?" ”
Yuan Yue lowered her head and replied softly, "Gu Nuo is planting orchids for the girl, saying that he was afraid that the girl would be upset when she saw her, so he called me to serve the girl to freshen up." ”
Su Zhixi thought of Gunuo's stubborn temperament, got up and said with a smile, "Where do I seem to have bought a slave and come back." ”
As the sun rose, the weather began to get hot.
Su Zhixi got up and wiped her face, and the clothes on her body were wet.
The sun in Kyoto is so hot that it melts people.
Su Zhixi went to the wardrobe and picked out a light dress to change into, and said to Yuan Yue sideways, "I have eaten a lot of morning food, let the kitchen make a cool skin at noon, and I don't need other side dishes." ”
Yuan Yue lowered her head and retreated.
After a while, Cheng En came.
Su Zhixi lay on the Taishi chair, glanced lazily, and closed her eyes again.
Cheng En saw that Su Zhixi was lying comfortably, and he was also lying on his side, leisurely waving the fan in his hand.
Su Zhixi glanced at Cheng En's pleasant appearance, and said in a low tone, "I plan to arrange for you to go over tomorrow, Jiahuifang is close to your Yongpingfang, and it is convenient for you to take photos, but the shop in Yongpingfang will not see the light in the end, and you must be careful when you act in the future." You are a slave, once this matter is discovered, don't talk about your lofty ambitions, even the shop that you have worked so hard to do will be confiscated. ”
Cheng En replied with a nasal "En." ”
Then the master and servant both lay quietly and silently, the cicadas chirped, and occasionally a gust of wind blew in from outside, picking up the corner of Su Zhixi that had fallen under the chair.
It's been a long time since she's felt like this. The whole heart is loose, so you don't have to think about anything.
After a while, I suddenly heard the minions' voices talking from far to near, about the affairs of the monthly people.
Su Zhixi remembered one thing at this time.
She sat up, looked at Cheng En, who was lying flat on the ground, and asked, "I forgot to ask you, you are a slave, where did you get the ten yuan to go to that shop?" ”
Su Zhixi saw Cheng En's body stiffen, and after a long time, he slowly sat up, staring at Su Zhixi with a flattering smile.
Su Zhixi didn't eat this set.
Cheng En saw that he couldn't hide it, so he smiled dryly, "Yes, I borrowed a white hosta from the girl." ”
Su Zhixi's eyelids jumped when she heard her words, and she asked in disbelief, "You dare to steal my things to sell?!" ”
This daring minion!
Cheng En hurriedly knelt on the ground and argued softly, "It's borrowing, it's really borrowing." ”
Hearing that she was still quibbling, Su Zhixi was so angry that she didn't come out.
Su Zhixi stood up, her eyes looking around, and her footsteps paced in the room.
Cheng En asked weakly, "What is the girl doing?" ”
Su Zhixi glared at Cheng En hatefully, and finally looked around, then picked up a rattan in the house, pointed at Cheng En and scolded, "I have eaten the gall of a leopard, if I don't teach you a lesson today, maybe you will do something out of the ordinary in the future." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to draw it towards Cheng En.
Cheng En begged for mercy while fleeing for his life.
ran into Yuan Yue, who was holding a cool skin at the door, and hurriedly hid behind Yuan Yue, poked his head out and said, "Girl, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore." Spare me this time. I'll go and kneel on the bluestone slab outside the courtyard by myself. ”
After saying that, he ran away.
Yuan Yue stood at the door with the cool skin she asked for from the kitchen, neither entering nor retreating.
Su Zhixi saw that Cheng En's figure was no longer in the courtyard, so he angrily threw the rattan to the ground and said to Yuan Yue, "You put things here." Go and call Guno for me again. ”
Yuan Yue was afraid of being implicated, so she hurriedly put the porcelain bowl in her hand on the wooden table, and walked out quickly.
It didn't take long for Guno to come in.
Su Zhixi knelt on the futon, fanning her fan in distraction.
Seeing that Su Zhixi's face was not good, Gu Nuo thought that she was still angry with her, his eyes glanced at the rattan beside Su Zhixi, and he didn't dare to approach, so he asked weakly, "Girl, are you looking for me?" ”
Su Zhixi raised her eyes and glared at Gu Nuo, and asked, "Where did the money come from for Cheng Enpan's shop, do you know about this?" ”
Guno shook his head.
Su Zhixi saw that Gu Nuo looked ignorant, thinking that she couldn't even hide the fact that Cheng En had a shop, and naturally she couldn't hide such a big thing as stealing things.
"She's the shop that stole my jewelry and sold it, so she had the money to go to the shop."
"What!"
Guno stared, his mouth wide open enough to stuff an egg.
After the shock, there was an uncontrollable anger, "That dead hoof dared.... What a bastard, I was worried about her just now. Such a bastard should sue the housekeeper and throw her out of the house. ”
Su Zhixi listened to Gunuo's righteous and awe-inspiring words, and the anger in her heart calmed down slightly.
It's no wonder that she is so angry, it's really that Cheng En is too bold. He even dared to steal the things of the master's house.
If this thing is an ordinary valuable, it will be sold.
But if it's a royal bounty, it's a big problem.
As she spoke, she gestured to the dresser.
This is also a reminder to us. It's too loose on weekdays, and I don't know if the things under my nose are gone. From now on, you have to give me a twelve-point spirit, and if you lose anything again, I will only count you on your head. ”
Gunuo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the slave knows." ”
Su Zhixi was also upset, waved his hand, and motioned for Gunuo to go down.
When Guno walked to the door, he spoke again, "You asked her to redeem the things quickly." Don't linger in front of my eyes these days. I was upset when I saw it. ”
Guno said, "Oh. ”
After Gunuo left, the breath in Su Zhixi's heart still couldn't be dispersed for a long time.
She is also a two-caring person, one has great ambitions in his heart, and he has never regarded himself as a slave since he entered the house; One has been a slave for a long time, but he has no opinion.
Thinking of this, she thought of the old girl who had refused to marry in her previous life and was sentenced as a result.
If she can look down on her, she can't look down on her.
She knocked on it, and looked down on her.
In this cycle, he reached the age of marriage, and he was still unwilling to give in, and finally was sued to Jingzhao Mansion.
But life is not satisfactory, in the end, it is not like that.
It's just that the court can say that the law restricts people's marriages, but it can't restrain people's lives.
Cheng En has been wandering around for a few days without being in front of him, and he has passed quickly.
After getting up early to freshen up, I went to Yin's place to eat. After withdrawing the meal, she pestered and asked for some knowledge about raising orchids.
In a few days, she only saw Su Jinzhen once.
He came to Yin's like a gust of wind to ask for money, and after asking for money, he ran out like a gust of wind.
Cheng En got up early and went to take care of the business in the shop, and heard Xi Niang say that the pharmacy was well taken care of, and the business had improved in just a few days.
On the sixth day, it is the 10-day holiday between the DPRK and the Middle Kingdom.
Because Su Shen is at home, the morning food is different from usual, and the family needs to gather together to eat.
Early the next morning, the entire Su family went to Liyuan to wait for the morning meal.
