CHAPTER XIX

Ruan Jiao walked back with honey, Gu Xiaofeng caught up with her, and laughed at her in circles on her face: "How much money did your godfather who was an official give you, and you squandered it like this?" There are many poor people in this world, can you manage it? ”

Hearing what she meant, Ruan Jiao knew that she had just seen what she had just done, so she replied with a smile: "If I can help one person, I don't need this money, I just hope that he is not a liar, and he is telling the truth." ”

"Then you really help the right person, this little offspring is really not a liar, I heard people say that he, when he is really a showman, the ancestors of the family are also scholarly disciples, my grandfather's generation was demoted to the common people for doing wrong things and returned to his hometown, since then the family has begun to fall, his father is a sick man should not take the test, but he is smart, he was admitted to the show at the age of ten, quite prosperous for a while, but the family is poor, no money to go to Beijing to take the test, has been delayed three or four times, this is about enough money to enter Beijing, this is the confidence to say that you want to go to the exam." Gu Xiaofengyin said.

Ruan Jiao looked at the direction where Xiucai went, and unconsciously reddened her eyes, how many people in this world are unable to show their ambitions because of poverty? This silver money is really a sword hanging over everyone's head, which people love and hate, but they can't do without it everywhere.

"Everyone is gone, still watch." Gu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to pull her and laughed at her.

Ruan Jiao's mouth pursed: "My aunt and grandmother will make fun of me, I just pity him, but if there is someone to help him, such a smart person should have been nominated for the gold list and show his talents." ”

"Okay, okay, isn't this just a noble person like you? Don't mention him, but why do you buy honey? I didn't hear you say you wanted to drink it on a regular basis. Gu Xiaofeng pointed to the honey in her hand and asked with a smile.

"This is used to fool Aunt Wen." Ruan Jiao smiled back at her.

Gu Xiaofeng looked at her, puzzled.

Ruan Jiao told her about Wen Xiu's opening to ask her for rouge cream.

Gu Xiaofeng pursed her lips and sneered: "As long as she is thick-skinned, it is easy for you to make a box of rouge?" The last box was made for a year and a half, and for the little dew on it, she had been boiling blood and oil for a few nighters since last autumn to get that bottle of dew, and she said she wanted it? ”

"A box of rouge is not worth anything, that bottle of dew can make more than a dozen boxes, but she is pregnant now, I don't dare to give it to her, in case there is a good one, won't I become a sinner for the ages? But I couldn't say anything about her reply, for fear that it would be bad for her to deal with me, so I just thought of a way to fool her. Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"It's so foolish, it's not like she doesn't recognize it's honey." Gu Xiaofeng said curiously.

Ruan Jiao stuck out her tongue and grimaced at her: "Grandma, you can do it, I'll make a box of honey and egg paste for her, and I can touch my face, it's delicious, wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Is this a good thing? Would you like to make me a box too? Gu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Ruan Jiao hugged her neck and coquettishly: "Grandma, isn't this to fool her, you just don't say it, how about I make a jar for you?" ”

"You're a ghost!" Gu Xiaofeng reached out to scratch her nose and said with a smile.

Let's say that Ruan Jiao went home and took honey and chicken eggs to make a box of paste and sent it to Wenxiu, Wenxiu painted it on her face in front of her, but it was also white, so she praised her with a smile.

Ruan Jiao was about to say goodbye, but she saw Feng Shi walk in with a bowl of medicine, and said with a smile: "Good sister, it's time to drink medicine." ”

"Ah, sister, where did Xiaohong's girl die? How to work and bring it yourself, sin and sin! Wen Xiu hurriedly dropped the rouge paste and got up to take the medicine bowl.

Feng Shi pulled off Luo Pa on the placket to wipe his hands, and said with a smile: "What is it worth, Aunt Liu boiled the medicine, Xiaohong didn't know where she went, I went to the kitchen and saw it, I was afraid that the medicine would not taste good when it was cold, so I brought it over." ”

"Thank you, sister." Wen Xiu held the medicine bowl, drank the medicine in one go, and thanked her.

Feng Shi smiled and nodded, but glanced at Ruan Jiao who was sitting in the chair again, and said with a smile: "You are also there?" I was about to thank you, but I didn't know how to say it. Ping'er's affairs are all counting on you, big girl. ”

"Thank you, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, I have to have news to say." Ruan Jiao smiled, but she didn't feel very comfortable in her heart, she especially remembered what Ping'er said in front of her, and she didn't want to marry into a big family to suffer, she would rather live the life of a man and a woman weaving. She said so, but she couldn't earn her mother, she was wrapped in her feet, and she couldn't live an ordinary life anymore.

"You guys have to do your business, I'll leave." Feng shook his handkerchief and said goodbye with a smile.

Ruan Jiao stood up and went out with her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Aunt Wen asked me for a box of rouge paste to rub my face, and I sent it to her." ”

"I see, I said how to look at her face and suddenly turn so white." Feng replied with a smile, separated from her, and went back to the house.

Gu Erye didn't know when he came home, and he didn't take off his shoes, so he reclined on the bed and ate words.

Feng Shi couldn't see him, poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst, and walked to the windowsill to sort out a pot of camellia flowers that had just bloomed.

"Pour a cup of tea." Second Master Gu commanded.

Feng Shi loosened the soil in the flower pot with the small shovel in his hand, and he didn't listen.

Gu Erye was a little annoyed, and said loudly again.

Aunt Rui, who was busy outside, heard it, hurriedly ran in, poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Gu Erye didn't answer, his eyebrows were yellow, and he pointed at Feng's: "I'll let her fall." ”

"Second master, grandma is fiddling with flowers and plants, her hands are dirty, I'll pour it for her." Aunt Rui said with a smile.

Seeing that the Feng family was still ignoring it, Gu Erye stretched out his hand and pushed the tea cup in Aunt Rui's hand to the ground.

Aunt Rui squatted down to clean up.

"You're not going to fall?" Gu Erye squinted and asked the Feng family.

Feng put down the small shovel, patted the mud on his hands, came over to pour a cup of tea, paused heavily on the small table next to the bed, and turned around to leave.

Gu Erye grabbed her shirt and said angrily: "What do you mean, since Wenxiu entered the door, he hasn't said a word to me since he entered the door, I admit my mistake, and I kneel on the ground, I can't kill people but nod to the ground, what else do you want!" ”

Aunt Rui didn't listen to what he said, so she glanced at the second grandmother, cleaned up the broken porcelain slag, closed the door and went out.

Feng Shi tore his hand away and went to sit on the chair, still not saying a word.

"Am I drunk on her ways! It's not sincere, who would have thought that she would find her home. Seeing that there was no one else, Second Master Gu's tone softened, with a hint of pleading.

Feng fiddled with the lid of the teapot in his hand and sneered.

Gu Erye got up from the bed, knelt down on her lap, and pulled her hand: "Just forgive me this time, don't dare again." ”

"You won't tell me the truth, but let me say anything." Feng sneered.

Second Master Gu swallowed his saliva and laughed: "Dare to love you to be angry with this." ”

"What do you think I'm mad about! I can't give birth to a son, don't I know? Do you want to discuss with me openly, saying that if you want to take a concubine and give birth to a son, I have the face to stop me? What is this? Isn't it true that you come directly to the house with a big belly? Look at what she's doing now! If we really give birth to a son, there will still be a place for our mother and daughter to stand in this family! Feng said angrily.

"Heaven and earth testify, I Gu Yuliang is loyal to you, there is absolutely no such meaning, Jiao Niang, don't vomit with me, I can suffocate me for half a month, do you want to like it, after she gives birth to a child, I will leave it to you to dispose of at will?" Second Master Gu swore solemnly.

Feng Shi kicked him hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want me to be such a wicked person, don't pee and take care of yourself if you are worthy!" If you want to live with her, then go with her, just a letter of divorce and leave me, it's better than me being angry with her here! ”

Gu Erye hugged her legs, and mixed up with a hippie smile: "How can she compare with you, but she is just a plaything!" If she hadn't been pregnant with my child, she would have beaten it out a long time ago. ”

"You don't coax me with such nonsense, I can already see that she is not a good woman, you must have left a debt in that fireworks and willow alley! What are you angry with me! I'm only angry at you for being unserious! In front of me, there is such a set behind it! You haven't been drilling into those places all these years, right? I knew this, why did I ask my father to give you two grain shops, so that you have the opportunity to go out and surf, just honestly plant these few acres of land at home and stay by my side! ”

Feng reached out and slapped him on the head and scolded him.

Gu Erye he, hehe, he hugged her legs tighter and tighter, no matter how she beat and scolded, he just didn't let go.

Feng Shi was tired, so he stopped his hand and smacked at him: "If you dare to have such a time again, you will never give up, and immediately wrote me a letter of resignation, I will pour a place for you to live freely, if you look back, I will be raised by you." ”

Gu Erye was relieved when he saw her, and stepped forward to unbutton the buckle on her clothes with a hippie smile, Feng Shi struggled a few times and was not his opponent, so he had to let him go and let him unbutton and hug him to the bed.

Let's say that although Aunt Rui went out, she was worried about her own girl in her heart, and she was afraid that Gu Erye would really lose her temper and the girl would suffer a loss, so she refused to leave, only stayed by the door and listened to the movement.

When Xiaohong went to Wenxiu's house with a plate of scrambled eggs in her hand, when she saw her, she glanced at her eyes, didn't say hello, and was about to pass by.

"Yo, eggs are expensive at this time, and this big plate costs seven or eight eggs, right? Count ten yuan each, this is forty or fifty yuan, enough for the family to eat for three or four days. Aunt Rui sneered.

Xiaohong snorted coldly: "My aunt is rich, she can eat as much as she wants, and besides, she is still pregnant with the second master's child, what's wrong with eating scrambled eggs?" It's not the egg you laid, what do you feel sorry for! ”

"Little hoof, the old body talks to you well, you open your mouth to curse, who do you think you are? Who is used to you like this? Rich? Where did the money come from? Are these people fooled when they are blind? If you have money, it is also given by the second master, and the second master's business is still given by my girl! You little prodigal hoof fell in front of me, what madness! Aunt Rui scolded angrily.
