Chapter 2 The beggar in makeup
It's not the first time that such a terrifying feeling has appeared, as early as two or three years ago, she had this feeling of being targeted by a beast, and this feeling will suddenly fall on her, although each time is very short but very real.
This feeling has appeared several times, she went to ask her father, and her father said that she was suspicious and fussed, she could only tell Yahuan Xiaomei, Xiaomei laughed at her reading too much, let her rest more.
In the past three years, this feeling has become more and more frequent and real, and since no one wants to believe it, she can only comfort herself: "It's just an illusion." It was precisely because of this feeling of insecurity that she especially wanted to learn martial arts.
Every time she felt this way, she was afraid to go out for several days, and after a few days, she felt that nothing had happened, and she couldn't hold it back, so she called Yahuan to put on makeup for her, and she wanted to go to the market to relax.
"Xiaomei, you have to make me look like this time. Qiu Miaoxue, who was looking in the mirror while putting on makeup, said to Yahuan: "If you are recognized by those little gangsters again, I can't spare you." ”
Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and said with a face full of grievances: "Miss, who told you to be so handsome, what can I do?"
Qiu Miaoxue thought for a while, her eyes rolled and said, "Xiaomei, go find me a torn dress, and then get some ash from the bottom of the pot...... Hee-hee, this time Miss Ben won't pretend to be a son-in-law, I'm going to pretend to be a beggar and see who can recognize me. ”
Qiu Miaoxue suddenly thought of pretending to be a beggar, but the more she thought about it, the more proud she became, and finally laughed out loud.
Her words frightened Xiaomei on the side, the eldest lady has always loved to be clean, and she is not happy if there is a little dust on her face or body, so it is easy to be recognized by others every time she puts on makeup.
Today I actually said that I had to wear dirty clothes and put ash on my face, my mother, did the eldest lady really stand it?
"What are you doing there, let's go......" Qiu Miaoxue glared at Xiaomei, who was stunned on the side, and shouted loudly.
"Oh, oh, I'm going to find ......," Xiaomei saw that the eldest lady was angry, and hurriedly answered twice and went out.
Xiaomei thought as she walked: "It's not difficult to get the bottom of the pot to be dusty, and there is a kitchen, but there are decent people up and down in this villa, who wears torn clothes." She thought as she walked briskly towards the kitchen.
When she arrived at the kitchen door, Xiaomei didn't want to go into the kitchen, she couldn't smell the fishy smell inside, so she shouted at the kitchen door: "Is Manager Yu not there?"
She called Yu Jing, the head of the kitchen, but this was not a meal, and she didn't even see a chore, and she didn't know if there was anyone in the kitchen.
"It's Sister Xiaomei, Mr. Yu is out. Fortunately, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man came out of it, wiping the sweat from his forehead and saying, "I happened to meet Mr. Yu when I came just now, and he asked me to put the firewood in the kitchen." ”
Xiaomei knew at first glance, it was Xiao Liuzi who often sent firewood to the kitchen, and she had seen it a few times before. Xiaomei saw that Manager Yu was not there, and she was unwilling to scrape the bottom of the pot by herself, so she took a handkerchief from her waist and handed it to Xiao Liuzi and said with a smile: "Since Manager Yu is not there, it can only trouble you, you go and scrape some ash on the bottom of the pot for me, the more the better." ”
Xiao Liuzi took the handkerchief and said with a blank face: "Sister Xiaomei, ...... are you?"
"If you want to go, you will go, where is there so much nonsense" Xiaomei said, took out five copper plates from her purse and stuffed them into Xiao Liuzi's hand and said, "Go quickly."
"Okay-" Xiao Liuzi happily dragged a long note with the copper plate to scrape the bottom of the pot.
After a while, Xiao Liuzi took a small bag of ashes from the bottom of the pot and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaomei, have you seen enough?"
Xiaomei glanced at Xiao Liuzi, who was covered with black and gray face, like a charcoal burner, and laughed out loud, then took the bottom ash of the square towel bag and looked at it twice and said, "It should be enough." After saying that, he grinned and said, "Thank you!" and turned to leave.
Just took two steps, Xiaomei suddenly stopped, turned around and looked Xiao Liuzi up and down, Xiao Liuzi was bowing down to see Xiaomei off at this time, but saw her suddenly turn around and keep looking at herself, and he saw that his heart was furious.
"Turn around and I'll see. Xiaomei didn't care whether Xiao Liuzi was hairy or not, and said while looking at him.
Although Xiao Liuzi was inexplicable, he still turned around, and then turned to look at Xiaomei.
"Good figure, it should be just right" Xiao Liuzi just turned around when he heard Xiaomei's surprise to herself.
"Sister Xiaomei...... What are you doing here?" said Xiao Liuzi worriedly
Xiaomei smiled mysteriously and said loudly: "Take off your clothes, take off your clothes quickly." ”
"......What? I'm a good citizen!" Xiao Liuzi hurriedly turned around, subconsciously covered his chest with his hands, and said tremblingly.
"What a mess, let you take it off, you can take it off, give it to you, this is five dollars of silver is enough, I don't have much money. Xiaomei thought, just his tattered clothes are not worth a few dollars, and it is enough to make a new dress for five dollars of silver, is it too little to look at him like this, is it difficult to want to blackmail me, I am not so stupid.
"Sister Xiaomei, isn't it a little missing. Xiao Liuzi said with a red face.
Xiaomei's eyes glared: "What is less, you are too little for five coins of silver, so how much do you want, let me tell you, I am not as easy to deceive as Miss." ”
"Ah, you said that Miss wants this too? What if...... If Miss wants it, I'll ...... I don't want money. Xiao Liuzi's face turned even redder and said, "This is also the first time for people." ”
Xiao Liuzi's last sentence was too quiet, and Xiaomei didn't listen to what he was saying at all: "Of course Miss wants it, you should want it, this is what you said, Miss wants you to don't want money, then you don't want to take off your clothes quickly."
"Here...... Take off?" Xiao Liuzi looked around.
"Yes. Hurry up, what are you talking about, it's so hot now that you can't freeze if you take off your coat, and besides, don't you still have an undershirt inside?"
"That'...... Miss...... Where's Miss?" Xiao Liuzi said with another glance in the direction of the door.
Xiaomei was really angry when she heard Xiao Liuzi's words, and said loudly: "You are sick, right, what are you doing where the young lady is, can you buy your torn clothes and ask my young lady to be present in person?"
"What? are you going to buy me this dress?" Xiao Liuzi felt a cold sweat flowing through his spine after listening to a spirit, and hurriedly took off his coat and handed it over, his mind was dizzy and blank. He kept muttering, "I was thinking about Miss He...... just now Miss...... That one...... That one...... I ......"
Xiaomei took the clothes and looked at Xiao Liuzi fixedly, and found that Xiao Liuzi was now blind, his limbs were weak, and his body was shaking, as if he was going to fall down at any time.
Looking at the clothes in her hand, she said inexplicably: "Is this ragged dress so important to you?" The clothes were held closer, and a smell of sweat came to her face, so stinky that she shivered, hurriedly took it out, took a deep breath and said, "It stinks." ”
Xiaomei thought about it and stuffed the five coins of silver in her hand to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Look at you so precious, I'll give you this dress, and I'll return it to you when the young lady runs out." After saying that, he didn't care about the Xiao Liuzi anymore, turned around and left, and said as he walked: "It's so stinky, I don't know if Miss can wear it." ”
Xiaomei trotted to the young lady's boudoir, and the eldest lady saw Xiaomei shouting loudly: "You stinky girl, where are you dead, let you get some pot ash and torn clothes, why is it so long?"
"Miss, I can't blame me, I blame that little sixth son, it's hard to buy a torn dress with him, and I still spent five dollars of silver. Xiaomei said while holding the ashes at the bottom of the pot wrapped in tattered clothes and small square scarves from a distance.
"Who is Little Liuzi?" asked the young lady puzzled.
Xiaomei pouted at the clothes she was holding in her hand: "It's the owner of this clothes, who is sending firewood to our family." ”
Qiu Miaoxue saw the clothes in Xiaomei's hands and smiled happily: "It doesn't matter who he is, just get the things, why are these clothes so dark." As he spoke, he took his clothes.
As soon as she took the clothes, she threw them on the ground and said, "It stinks, what does it smell, it really stinks." "It's no wonder that this eldest lady grew up in rouge powder every day, and when did she smell the smell of sweat, even the little gangsters in the market didn't smell so bad.
"Go, go, hurry up and take it to Aunt Wang's pulp and wash it, how can I wear it if it's black and smelly?" The young lady covered her nose and frowned and said loudly to Xiaomei.
"Miss, aren't you going to pretend to be a beggar, if you wash the pulp and wear it again, won't you become a son again?" Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "Besides, how can there be a fragrant beggar in this world?"
Qiu Miaoxue listened to Xiaomei's words, felt that there was some truth, thought about it, then looked at the dirty and tattered clothes on the ground, gritted her teeth and took two steps closer to pick up the clothes, walked to her, shook her head and took two steps back, the frame was like going to the execution ground.
After hesitating, the young lady still said: "No, I really can't stand this smell, so let's go and let Aunt Wang think of a way to make this dress look like a beggar, and it doesn't stink, otherwise I won't wear it." ”
Xiaomei smiled secretly, in fact, this result had been expected by her, it would be strange if the young lady really wore this stinky dress.
Xiaomei took her clothes to find Aunt Wang, and told Aunt Wang about her intentions, but Aunt Wang was very happy.
Aunt Wang said with a smile while fiddling with Xiao Liuzi's clothes: "If the eldest lady of our family doesn't make some moths for a day, it's really not her, and she dresses up as a beggar? ”
"Aunt Wang, is there a way for you to make this dress not smell bad and look like a beggar's suit. Xiaomei saw Aunt Wang smiling there, a little unhappy, and asked with a small mouth.
