Chapter 228: It's Raining

It rained soon after Xiao Song went back, and Lin Zifu, who was staying up all night drying medicinal herbs, raised her head and looked at the sky and frowned slightly.

It doesn't bode well for it to rain so early, after all, there are still so many herbs in hand, and it will take time to dry them all, and the only consolation is that the shed that has been built is now usable, covering the drying oven, and doing things below will not be affected.

When Xiao Cui, who hadn't gotten up in the morning, was in bed, she heard the sound of rain outside, so she quickly put on a dress and got up excitedly, standing under the eaves and looking at the raindrops outside.

I was a little happy in my heart, after all, the herbs were all sold, and even if I smashed them, I wouldn't smash them in her hands.

And although the silver that Xiao Song brought back yesterday was not as much as she expected, she took some back, so that the loss would not be too serious, they just needed to find the right time to find Lin Zifu's jokes.

It's just that when I told Xiao Song about this during the meal, I was directly denied by Xiao Song, and when I sent the medicine, Xiao Song saw the situation on Lin Zifu's side, so he said: "We can't see Lin Zifu's jokes, when I went there last year, I saw that they had several drying stoves, and there were many people who helped her, and those honeysuckles must have been dried, and she was such a smart person, if she couldn't dry so much honeysuckle, she wouldn't have bought what we sent, so we still have to think of other ways." ”

He regretted taking this task more and more, and he was full of joy when he came out of the Zhou family, but now he ......

I have to say that there is an indescribable sense of frustration, Lin Zifu is too powerful, so strong that he can see at a glance that he is not her opponent.

Xiao Cui glared at Xiao Song dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "You are trying to destroy your own prestige, have you forgotten Madame's words, we are just looking for her unhappiness, how to come if you are not happy, and I have thought about it, go to the village." ”

Now there is nothing that Lin Zifu can threaten, and he prayed in a low voice because of the matter of medicinal herbs, but now, although he has lost money, he is happy.

Xiao Song shook his head, glanced at the little guy next to him and said, "I plan to go back today." ”

He didn't want to stay here and delay time, and this task couldn't be completed in the end, so why delay here, and Mrs. Zhou couldn't blame him for going back early, and then he said that there was something at home that needed to ask for leave to go back for two days.

In fact, it's just looking for a way to go back, and I don't want to stay here anyway.

Xiao Cui was a little surprised, and her eyes were a little erratic when she looked at Xiao Song.

The little guys around Komatsu were silent, they were not as smart as Komatsu, they were not as tactful as Komatsu in doing things, and they were not as bold as Komatsu, and several people sighed, and they had no intention of leaving with Komatsu.

Komatsu was not reluctant to do these things, he just ate silently.

Lin Zifu was busy, although it was raining, he still asked He Dayou to go to the town, and some people who were a little farther away might want to send the honeysuckle picked yesterday.

The dried honeysuckle is of high quality, both in color and shape, and it is exciting to look at the honeysuckle in this furnace and then look at so many dried finished products in the hall.

As a result, it was not yet noon, and Xiaocui led people directly into the village.

Because of the rain, everyone in the village was in the house, but no one noticed that Xiaocui had entered the village.

Xiao Cui twisted her waist and went directly to Lin Zifu's yard.

Because it was convenient for Aunt Liao and them to enter and exit, Lin Zifu's yard was not closed.

Lin Zifu was sleeping, her body couldn't bear it last night, Aunt Ying was in charge of the yard during the day, and Yun Rong was busy drying the herbs, and Tian Guixiang was also helping on the side.

"Yo, I'm busy." Xiao Cui looked at Aunt Ying with a smile, with a lot of disgust in her eyes.

When she was in the Zhou Mansion before, Aunt Ying was the most unfavored person, she was disgusted by the top and bottom of the house, and she deliberately troubled Aunt Ying at the beginning, and Aunt Ying, who was not welcomed by everyone in the Zhou Mansion, actually lived so comfortably here.

There was still some jealousy in his heart, and his tone was naturally a little strange: "Aunt Ying hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Ying Gu glanced at Xiao Cui, and said angrily: "Why did you come here." ”

She is a little disgusted with Xiaocui, don't look at her age, she has a lot of bad thoughts.

In the Zhou Mansion, there are all kinds of bad ideas, all say that things gather people in groups, and only people like Xiaocui can be so close to Mrs. Zhou.

Xiao Cui looked Aunt Ying up and down with a smile, and her tone was sarcastic: "Leaving the Zhou family, I didn't see how good you are, look at the clothes on your body, they are almost torn, you haven't worn such tattered clothes in the Zhou Mansion." ”

Because of her work, Aunt Ying wore the worst clothes, but she didn't expect this to become the reason for Xiaocui's ridicule.

Yinggu is a person who has been through strong winds and waves, and she knows what she is doing here when she hears Xiaocui speak.

smiled calmly: "You're here to say this?" It is worthy of being the first lackey under Mrs. Zhou, you have you to do any bad things, I eat well and sleep well here, as for dressing up, I don't need to be particular about work, you are here today to see jokes, do you think we bought your herbs cheaply last night, and we have to cry when it rains today. ”

She can't see through Xiaocui's thoughts, and she can't accommodate people like Xiaocui.

Tian Guixiang and Yun Rong sensed that something was wrong and stepped forward.

After being together for so long, Tian Guixiang and Aunt Ying still have a tacit understanding, after hearing Aunt Ying say those words, she looked Xiao Cui up and down and laughed: "This is just stealing business with us, and finally the goods are smashed in their own hands, and they have to beg us to buy her herbs Xiao Cui, fortunately, I have heard everyone say that you have been busy and have not had time to come to the town to see you, and today I really ...... it."

Tian Guixiang didn't say the last words, but the people present seemed to understand what they meant, and they were so angry that Xiaocui's face turned red and white for a while.

Xiaocui is also the lord who can't be wronged, where can she stand it when she hears this, she glanced at Aunt Guixiang and said coldly: "The dog is nosy with the mouse, who are you this aunt?" ”

Tian Guixiang laughed, and she didn't quarrel with each other, but said to Aunt Ying: "Idle people can't be put in casually, especially those who come uninvited and shamelessly show off, and they lose money like that, and they don't know how to have a face." ”

He Dayou calculated the account for her, Xiaocui lost more than a dozen taels of silver this time, which is not a small amount, and she felt a little distressed when she heard it.

Aunt Ying followed Tian Guixiang's words, didn't look at Xiao Cui's face at all, and said: "Who knows, strange things happen every year, especially this year, some people are used to being arrogant in front of the Zhou family, and they really think that they are the masters, in fact, slaves and maids are slaves, this is something that can't be changed in a lifetime, and there is no need to show off in front of me, I am a free body, Ming Qi also called me a nurse, life is smooth, and I feel refreshed when I leave the Zhou family, but there are some people, slaves and maids are slaves." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes also squinted at Xiao Cui, and he was happy to see Xiao Cui's iron face.

I was bullied by Xiaocui several times in Zhou's mansion before, probably because of Mrs. Zhou, or Xiaocui knew that Mrs. Zhou didn't like her, so she deliberately came to the door to bully in order to please Mrs. Zhou.

Whatever the reason, she doesn't have a good impression of Xiaocui.

It's just that I didn't expect Xiaocui to dare to come to the door so boldly.

Lin Zifu didn't sleep for long, she heard the sound of talking outside in a daze, and when she got up after getting dressed, she saw Xiaocui standing in the yard with someone.

It was still raining, Aunt Ying and the others were standing under the shed, and Xiaocui's people were standing in the rain with umbrellas.

Aunt Ying and Xiaocui were talking about something, she frowned slightly, it is impossible for Xiaocui to come to the door to have a good thing, the most likely thing is that it is raining, and she deliberately came to see the joke.

It seems that Xiao Cui has no need to figure it out to see through what she is thinking.

Regarding Xiaocui's mentality, Lin Zifu could only smile helplessly.

This kind of person really can't care too much, he looks like a villain all day long, and it's too tiring to worry about this kind of person.

So he said to Aunt Ying: "Aunt Ying invites people out, can't cats and dogs just enter the yard." ”

Aunt Ying was happy when she heard it, she liked this sentence of a cat and a dog.

said unceremoniously to Xiaocui: "Is it enough to show off?" Show off enough and hurry away, I didn't hear that cats and dogs can't enter the yard, you have been with Mrs. Zhou for several years, when you first entered the house, you were still a little girl, so many years of good did not learn, but the bad ones learned a lot, I advise you, don't follow Mrs. Zhou to learn, people are masters, no matter what you do, it makes sense, you are different, no matter how hard you work, you are just a slave, even if you can pat yourself again, no matter how bad things you do, it is useless. ”

After speaking, he took out a broom from the side, raised it to Xiao Cui, and said, "Shall I drive you out, or will you go out by yourself." ”

The good mood was affected by Xiaocui's trouble.

Lin Zifu stood under the eaves and watched, she really didn't have a good impression of Xiaocui, and she really didn't understand what Mrs. Zhou was thinking, she really thought she was so easy to bully?

Xiaocui left unwillingly, and she really didn't get a good deal here.

As soon as Xiaocui left, Lin Zifu strode under the shed in the rain and asked, Aunt Ying told the truth of the matter, and said, "You hurry up and rest, and send all the herbs to the county seat in the afternoon." ”

I planned to send it in the rain, but the rain was too heavy, and it was troublesome to send it to the county seat at this time, and I would definitely suffer a lot along the way.

Shaking his head, he said: "Don't worry, it's raining so hard today, I estimate that it will be sunny tomorrow and tomorrow, let's talk about it after the rain stops." ”

There are only ox carts in the village, and although the ox carts pull a lot of things, they are also troublesome when they encounter potholes.

She figured that it would be better to send it when it wasn't raining, at least without having to get down the cart.

It seems that after making money, you really have to buy a carriage, this matter must be put on the agenda, and it is convenient to do things with a carriage.
