Chapter 223: Liu Xicai's Conspiracy
There was a person sitting at the door of the house, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Song Yu, with a lonely face, like a melancholy little prince.
"What's wrong? Is it homesick? Song Qingyun jumped out of the car and sat side by side on the stone bench with him.
Song Yu shook his head, "I'm not homesick." ”
Following his gaze, the vegetation on the distant mountains is more pine and cypress, and the color is dark green.
The willow trees on the nearby embankment are clinging, and the branches have just emerged a little green tip, and the beauty can only be said to be conjecture.
She tilted her head to look at Song Yu, "Tell me, why are you in a daze here?" ”
"Sister, the girl I met by the well yesterday has come to the house."
"Oh? What did she come to do? ”
Song Yu looked down at a group of busy ants at his feet, his eyes a little hollow.
"She said that in order to thank me for helping her carry water yesterday, she made me a pair of shoes overnight."
Song Qingyun was stunned.
"You took it?"
Song Yu shook his head again, "Of course not, don't look at me as a Beihu person, I know what it means for a woman to give shoes to a man." ”
"How did the girl react when you rejected her?"
"Crying...... Ran away crying. ”
Song Qingyun was relieved, patted Song Yu on the shoulder and said, "You did the right thing, the girl who gave away shoes after only one meeting is too casual." ”
Song Yu grinned, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh.
Seeing Qingyun enter the courtyard, Song Yu turned his head to look at the void in a daze, he didn't say that Su Yi was in front of him at that time, he kept staring at him with a sneer, which made him very embarrassed, the reason why he didn't enter the house was that he felt that his face was swept and he couldn't raise his head.
On the other side, Liu Xicai's house.
Xia Pearl was absentmindedly squatting by the stove pit to light the fire.
"Pearl, the fire has been refined, what are you thinking?" The mother-in-law in charge of cooking the vegetables roared viciously, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly added all the firewood to the bottom of the pot.
Then he stood up and threw away the burning stick in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm not feeling well, go back and lie down for a while." ”
"What?"
The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows, glared at Xia Pearl dissatisfied, and couldn't help but sneer, "You really think of yourself as a young grandmother?" Don't forget that you bought it back for the little young master, and now the little master is unwilling to touch you, which means that sooner or later you will be resold one day, and then you may be a Qinglou or a concubine, see if you are still arrogant. ”
Xia Pearl trembled angrily, she clenched her fists and swung at the old woman's face, but unfortunately her body was thin and had no strength, and she was sat under the ass by the woman in a few clicks.
"It's the other way around, don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? Who in this family treats you as a young grandmother? Want to go back and lie down? Hurry up and work for me, if you delay my lord's lunch, you will wait to be beaten. ”
Xia Pearl lay on the ground and wiped her tears for a long time, and finally got up silently to prepare the family's lunch, and the lingering yin owl in her eyes did not disperse until before the meal.
The rough mother-in-law is right, she is not qualified to put on a score, and the Liu family says that she is Liu Changxu's daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, but internally, she is a girl who has been bought, not only has to serve the family, but also has to do heavy housework, and she is tired and tired all day long, but also has to be calculated by the master.
Yesterday, Liu Xicai called her aside and asked her to do something for the Liu family, and when she was done, she would be free, and she would not have to marry Liu Changxu.
Hearing this, Xia Pearl was very happy, as long as she didn't marry that incomprehensible wooden bump, she could do whatever she wanted.
"There is a young student in Song Qingyun's family, you want to find a way to get close to him and find out his identity, I don't care what method you use to make him interested in you, you know?"
Xia Pearl was immediately dumbfounded, what the old man meant...... Is it for her to seduce other men?
For this reason, she secretly ran to the corner and cried, complaining that the ruthless father and mother sold her to Liu Xicai's family, the good thing is the daughter-in-law, and the bad thing is that the Liu family is a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
Liu Xicai scared her, and if she didn't do what he said, she would go to her house to ask for the money her father and mother collected, and as for her, she would definitely not stay alive.
Xia Pearl heard that people were fetching water by the well, so they were kicked out by Liu Xicai, and along the way, she thought that if she was insulted, she would jump into the well and die, but the moment she saw Song Yu turn around, she changed her mind.
"Pearls?"
Xia Zhuzhu, who was standing by the wall in a daze, was suddenly slapped on the back fiercely, and she looked up in fright to see that it was Liu Ming, the son of the eldest young master.
Liu Xicai's wife Yu Shi frowned, she glared at Xia Pearl unhappily, "What are you thinking?" ”
At this time, Liu Xicai raised his head, glanced at her meaningfully, knocked on the table and said, "Soup." ”
Xia Pearl hurriedly stepped forward, passed by Liu Ming, and was tripped by his stretched leg, Xia Pearl was defenseless, knocked over the soup basin in his hand, and splashed Liu Changxu's body.
As a result, in exchange for Liu Changxu's slap, she was hit with gold stars in her eyes and dizzy.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Xia Pearl dragged her sore body back to her room, never expecting to see Liu Xicai sitting inside with a dark face waiting for her.
"Sir." Xia Pearl cowardly blessed her body and stood aside with her hands down.
Liu Xicai stared at her gloomily, "How did the things I explained to you go?" ”
"Master, the slave went to find Song Gongzi."
"Song Gongzi?" Liu Xicai raised his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously.
"Yes, I asked for the name of the son, and he said that his name was Song Yu."
Liu Xicai was quite surprised.
"Repeat what you've said."
Song Yu just said three words to her, and at that time, Xia Zhuzhu's excited heart was pounding, where did she remember the task assigned by Liu Xicai, so she didn't get anything except her name.
Liu Xicai's face turned gloomy.
"How did he and Song Qingyun meet?"
Xia Pearl shook her head timidly, seeing that Liu Xicai's face was not safe, she hurriedly explained, "Master, that plain-clothed girl is just staring at the side, I don't have a chance to talk to him too much." ”
Afraid of being punished by Liu Xicai, Xia Pearl hurriedly said, "I deliberately dropped the handkerchief in a corner of her house that is not easy to find, and Ming'er will have an excuse to come to the door again." ”
Liu Xicai sneered, "You're quite smart, don't mess things up for me, otherwise we'll see." ”
Liu Xicai went out, Xia Pearl rubbed her sore neck and lay down on the pit, raised her right hand leisurely, and when she handed the shoes to Song Yu, the hands of the two touched together, and she remembered that it was a cold and cold touch, which flowed into her heart at once.
Mu Qingao came back at night.
After holding the lamp, Guo's mother saw that he was in the dust, so she asked him if he had eaten, Mu Qingao shook his head, and Guo's mother hurriedly went to the kitchen to make a fire to cook.
Qingyun touched the teapot and the water was still warm, so she asked him if he wanted to drink it.
Mu Qingao said, "I'll do it myself." ”
While pouring tea and looking at him curiously, Song Qingyun said, "You haven't had a good rest in the past two days?"
Mu Qingao, who was originally physically and mentally exhausted, heard this, and a comfortable smile appeared on his thin lips.
"Qingyun can see it at a glance, next time I have to remember to freshen up and dress up before I can see you."
"Don't be kidding, seriously, has the cause of Steward Cheng's death been clarified?"
She remembered what Cheng Junniang had said, and just as she was about to say it, she heard Mu Qingao say, "I saw Cheng Jun, the murderer of Cheng Steward, was killed by him." ”
