Thank you for the monthly pass of the twisted scale and the little pig

————————————————

After Lu Er finished speaking, he made Cheng Qi happy, not to mention this country's mansion, it is just Qi Xiping, you can find someone at random, who doesn't know that he and Cheng Yun can't get along, how did it get into Lu Er's mouth, and the two of them have a love for father and daughter.

Dare to ask Lu Er which eye can see it, Cheng Qi knows that it must not be the two on the face, maybe it is the one hidden in the buttocks, it is really squirting feces.

But Lu Er is also a smart person, he sprinkled his words, first of all, he took Cheng Yun away, indicating that the matter of stealing the formula had nothing to do with that person, and secondly, he expressed his heart, and most importantly, he forced Cheng Qi not to turn his face with Cheng Yun.

If Cheng Qi refutes or says something else, he disrespects the elders and deliberately provokes family unity, so that even if he is not blamed by the old lady, he will fall into the mouth.

In this way, the words were blocked inside and out, Cheng Qi listened, and said in his heart that this person was really slippery, presumably this was also the reason why Cheng Yun kept him to do things, his reaction speed and adaptability were too strong.

Cheng Qi thought about it for a while, and changed his words, after all, the two rooms have not been separated, taking into account her grandmother's mood, she can't make a fuss about it, the key is to get the paper back.

"Lu Er, I understand what you mean." Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Yunduo, who was a little proud, and said skillfully, "But I understand what the third uncle means." ”

Cheng Yunduo's face fell, and he vaguely knew what Cheng Qi was going to say, and the secret way was not good.

Sure enough, Cheng Qi smiled lightly: "Third Uncle Fang Cai said, he didn't want my new formula, it's all your Lu Er's extra move, since that's the case, then return the new recipe to me, this matter will be over, and I won't pursue it." ”

Lu Er was also stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he was still looking forward to Cheng Qi making a mess, in this way, things would be much easier to handle than now, who knew that this person was so tolerant, it seemed tricky.

He lit the fire, but Cheng Qi did not borrow the east wind.

"Lu Er."

Seeing that the man was hesitating, Cheng Qi knew that he didn't want to give it, so he said again: "I can see it, this recipe was snatched from Qing Dai's hand, and now it's on you, you take it out, I don't blame you, it's always right to be the Lord, it's just that you have a bad idea." ”

Cheng Qi picked up the tea next to him and took a sip, and took it very safely: "What's more, you are the housekeeper in this house, even if I am the master, I have to give you three points of thin noodles, and the rest is all up to the third uncle." ”

Zhou's mother watched from the side, with a little satisfaction in her eyes.

She has long been clear about the ins and outs of this matter, but Cheng Qi's handling is very good, and now she is just looking at the third room to get off the donkey and put this matter away.

Of course, Cheng Yunduo wanted to take care of the matter, but he didn't want to return the recipe, so what was Lu Er tossing and turning for thirteen times, wasn't it just for that recipe, if he returned it at this time, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water, and it would be impossible to steal chickens and rice.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and today's events will definitely be spread, if not boiling, but everyone in the small streets and alleys must be known.

At that time, his reputation will stink again, but it seems that Cheng Qi cares about the family, and he falls into a good character who can't bear to blame the third uncle, and is sensible and cares about the grievances of the family.

Cheng Qi wants this, and this is also her bargaining chip today.

Cheng Yunduo thought about it, since it stinks when it goes out, and it stinks if it doesn't go out, then just compare it with Cheng Qi to the end, Ji is right, a good reputation is a fart, and the silver in his hand is real.

Ghosts won't take the initiative to help you grind because of your good reputation.

"Lu Er."

Thinking of this, Cheng Yunduo hinted at Lu Erdao in his words: "That recipe is not... Isn't it in your hands? ”

Zhou's mother's eyes darkened.

Sanfang is not sensible, is it really going to tear his face?

Cheng Qi, who was sitting opposite, looked like an expectation and an accident from the expression on her face, in short, she couldn't detect anything unusual, as if everything was under her control.

Seeing the situation, Lu Er hurriedly changed his tone, but after all, he was caught by Cheng Qi, so he lied: "This... This new recipe was taken by me well, but... But the minion was so flustered that he threw the paper away. ”

Cheng Qi snorted coldly, and said in his heart that this person is really uncreative.

"Lost?" She said.

Lu Er nodded hurriedly, and said resolutely: "It's lost, it's lost, it's lost by the minions." ”

Cheng Qi was silent for a few seconds, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "In that case, Mother Zhou, please send a few capable servants to accompany Butler Lu to the mansion to find that prescription." Lowering his voice and accentuating his majesty, "I'm bound to find that prescription for me." ”

Mother Zhou smiled faintly and immediately said, "Yes." ”

Lu Er's face turned pale, what is Cheng Qi doing, she should know that she is lying, looking at the few sturdy little guys beckoned by Zhou's mother, he leaned back uneasily: "You... What are you going to do? ”

"Steward Lu."

Cheng Qi stared at him: "Trouble you, find it for me, you must find it for me." Looking back at Cheng Yunduo, who had a somewhat bad face, "The third uncle doesn't need to eat yet, it's better to let the back kitchen prepare it now, niece and I will accompany you to eat, anyway... Steward Lu will have to look for it for a while, don't you say? ”

Cheng Yunduo saw that Cheng Qi was adopting a dry consumption tactic, his face tightened, and he turned his head to look at Steward Lu, who was being set up and was about to be taken out of the courtyard, and glanced at Qingdai kneeling on the ground...

Wait a minute.

Cheng Yunduo looked at Qing Dai's eyes hidden under the messy hair, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and subconsciously said, "Slow." ”

Cheng Qi looked up, and the few servants who were escorting the landing housekeeper also stopped as he said.

Lu Er thought that Cheng Yunduo was going to help him speak, but the man looked at him and said unexpectedly: "Lu Er, take out that new prescription." ”

Cheng Qi's eyes were glazed, and he also subconsciously glanced at the kneeling Qingdai.

What's wrong?

Isn't there something boring?

Lu Er didn't know why Cheng Yunduo was like this, but he couldn't ask in front of these people, so he broke away from those little guys, walked over, took out the so-called lost prescription in his arms, and handed it to Cheng Yunduo.

The man took it, opened it, and saw that the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged like a coiled snake.

"This..."

Cheng Yunduo raised his bloodshot eyes, eager to turn his gaze into arrows and pierce Lu Er's body.

The housekeeper was furious, glanced at Qing Dai, and seemed to think of something, regardless of the rules, snatched the prescription in his hand, and looked at it, it was... A blank sheet of paper.

What a new recipe, it was Qingdai who deceived herself.

Lu Er exploded his hair directly, and all his anger converged into a volcano and erupted in an instant, but he didn't expect that he was actually deceived by a Yiren, he was actually deceived by a Yiren!

Lu Er was humiliated by the person he despised the most in his life, and driven by extreme anger, he rushed over and grabbed Qingdai's neck, eager to eat her alive and flake her alive.

"You! You little slut! How dare you lie to me! ”

Lu Er was ruthless, and Qingdai was tied up and couldn't resist, and his face turned red visibly.

Zhou's mother and the others were startled, and hurriedly called someone to pull Lu Er away, who knew that without waiting for those little guys to make a move, Cheng Qi kicked Lu Er far away, took Qingdai in his arms, and untied the shawl.

The previous Qing Dai was stuffed with something in her mouth, and now she can speak when she pulls it out, this little girl hurriedly picked up the blank paper, and handed it to Cheng Qi tremblingly, her face was full of heartfelt anticipation.

"Aunt... Girl. ”

Qing Dai's eyes were tough: "Slave... The slave didn't betray you, that recipe is your hard work day and night, and the slave won't hand it over, so it won't... It won't be handed over to Lu Er! The slave did not betray you! ”

Cheng Qi had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.

"You—" she frowned in distress and bewilderment, "Then why did you do that?" ”

Lu Er turned his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "This little cheap hoof is..."

"Because the slave is a Yi tribe!"

Qing Dai shouted this secret in front of Lu Er, and when she shouted like this, not to mention Lu Er, who was robbed of everything, all the people present were stunned.

Indigo.

This first-class maid who is by Cheng Qi's side, beside the most noble person in the mansion, and serves closely, is actually a little inferior to the animal in Changlu, and is from the Yi tribe.

And only Cheng Qi hugged Qing Dai's arm, and did not let go, but hugged it tighter all of a sudden.

The little girl in her arms noticed that tears were gushing up in an instant, she had expected this day, she actually knew that the paper could not contain the fire, but she did not expect that the girl did not let go of herself at the first moment.

Of course, there are many reasons for this.

And the biggest and most important, Cheng Qi is a modern person's thinking, in her worldview, all people are equal and free, there is no one who is nobler than whom, and no one is born a slave, so she never says something that will hurt Qingdai's self-esteem, nor will she deliberately instruct her.

But after all, she has lived in this world for almost a year, and Cheng Qi still knows the huge gap between her foreign origin and her Central Plains background, and the severity of the Yiren's private household registration, so she is also clear and helpless about the reaction of everyone present.

"Girl..."

Qing Dai clutched Cheng Qi's sleeve tightly, choked up and was almost speechless: "Yes... It's a slave... It's a slave who is bold... Deceived the girl... The girl is so good to the slave... Slave... Slave..."

Cheng Qi saw that she was about to faint from crying, so she hurriedly reached out to help her rub her back, and with her status, she actually took care of a cheap race, and even people like Zhou's mother frowned slightly.

It can be seen that the status of the Yiren people.

Cheng Qi felt sorry for Qingdai in her heart, and in a daze, she looked down at the poor girl in her arms, and seemed to understand something, so she said in a low voice: "All people are created equal, what are the differences." ”

When Qing Dai heard this, her dark brown pupils trembled violently, and she called out to the girl, and then hugged Cheng Qi in front of her, crying silently, the voice seemed to be really cathartic and unwilling.

Everyone present was shocked by that cry, so sad, so desperate, but the Yi nationality is the most despised sin in the Central Plains, and Qingdai is still an unforgivable sin.

Lu Er showed a triumphant smile, and this smile made Cheng Qi very uncomfortable.

She picked up the girl in her arms, easily hugged her with her right hand, so as not to make Qingdai cry and faint, then glanced at Zhou's mother and said, "I'm sorry for you, I have my own idea about this matter." ”

Mother Zhou seemed to have expected it, but she couldn't stop it, so she still dissuaded: "Girl, you are a bodhisattva like the old lady, but the Yi people..."

"I said I had my own decisions." Cheng Qi said again.

Mother Zhou sighed, nodded, and went back to the bedroom, no longer interfering in the rest of the matter.

And Cheng Yunduo saw the situation, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Cheng Qi's gourd, this dead girl was acting, and she really couldn't understand it more and more

"Qing Dai."

Cheng Qi said to the person in his arms: "Since what was given to Lu Er is fake, where is it really?" ”

"Here."

The sound of fine Xin sounded outside the hall not far away, Cheng Qi turned around, the man held the piece of paper, and said, "It was Qingmiao who handed it over to the slave, and she said that Qingdai asked her to put it away." ”

Seeing the situation, Cheng Qi probably knew what the girl in his arms was going to do, patted her back as a comfort, and then asked Xi Xin to come and take her back and take the real formula in his hand.

At this moment, the idle people in the upper hall have almost retreated, and Cheng Qi simply got straight to the point: "Third uncle, let's stop beating around the bush, I'll make a deal with you." ”

Cheng Yunduo said cautiously: "What deal?" ”

Cheng Qi held up the new formula: "I'll give you this new formula, called Lu Er." Glancing at the man, "Give me Qing Dai's original deed of sale, and I'll stop this matter." ”

Cheng Yunduo sneered, this is actually a good deal, but he can't stand his greed: "Why don't you return the Xiangfang or Satin Village to me?" ”

Cheng Qi said coldly: "First, it was originally our long house, and I will give you a word if it doesn't exist, second, it's not worth it for Qingdai, and third, there is no good end after all." ”

The smile on Cheng Yunduo's face froze, and he seemed to be used to this person's way of speaking, so he said, "Okay." "Tell Lu Er to hand over Qingdai's deed of sale to Cheng Qi.

The man was deceived once, learned to be obedient, and said, "What if it is false again?" ”

Cheng Qi's expression was cold and arrogant: "I, Cheng Qi, have never done that kind of thing." ”

When Lu Er heard this, he glanced at Cheng Yunduo again, and saw that the man nodded, so he exchanged the two pieces of paper with Cheng Qi.

"Thank you, Third Uncle, for making it perfect."

Cheng Qi said goodbye and turned to leave.

Cheng Yun glanced at his figure, slowly got up, and took the formula with force.

"This girl."

He lowered his eyes: "It's really getting harder and harder to deal with, this time it's so dangerous." ”

Lu Er lowered his head in a mistake.

…

…

After leaving the Wuyuan Courtyard, Cheng Qi did not go back to Tinglan Water Pavilion, but went to Zhuangshang, and when he returned home, it was already close to evening, and when he went up to the second floor, he saw that Xi Xin was rubbing medicine on Qing Dai.

She tied the man too hard during the day, causing her wrists to be covered in bruises.

"Girl."

Seeing Cheng Qi, Xi Xin opened her mouth first, and Qing Dai stood up with a guilty face, she learned that Cheng Qi used the new formula to exchange her deed of sale today, held back her tears, and said in a low voice: "... Girl. ”

Cheng Qi glanced at her, and then went up to the third floor first.

"Come up with me." She said.

When Qing Dai heard this, she looked back at Xi Xin uneasily, that person and Qing Miao did not dislike her background, according to Xi Xin's original words, this is called 'all the ninth rate, who looks down on whom'.

"Go ahead, the girl is a good person, and I won't blame you." "But the girl's temper... Just scold you a few words, you can bear it, she has exchanged all your deeds of sale, and she will definitely not drive you away. ”

Qingdai nodded, and then went upstairs.

Cheng Qi was taking off the hair ornament on her head, Qing Dai was busy serving, the man didn't stop or speak, until the high upright bun was all scattered, and the top of her head was relaxed, she got up and sat down at the flower table.

Because there is no earth dragon in the wooden building, the charcoal pot is burning.

Cheng Qi sat next to him, asked Qing Dai to sit down together, and said after a moment of composure: "I know, you made this risk today, just to tell me that you are a Yiren, isn't it?" ”

Qingdai was pierced in her mind, and she was even more uneasy.

"Don't be afraid."

Cheng Qi said: "Lu Er threatened you, you have your own difficulties, but you would rather suffer from the government than betray me at all, which makes me very moved, I need such a person around me." ”

When Qing Dai heard this, she looked up a little incredulously, thinking that she had misheard.

The girl really doesn't blame herself?

Cheng Qi finally showed a smile that could reassure Qing Dai, and said: "I won't let you go, I will continue to keep you by my side to serve, no matter what others say about you in the future, you don't have to take it to heart, you have to remember that you are serving me, as long as I don't mind your background, no one else is qualified." ”

Qing Dai pursed her lips and nodded, tears crackling down: "Aunt... Girl. Wiping his tears, "The slave really saved a lot of blessings in his last life, so he can meet the girl and serve the girl in this life." ”

"Alright."

Cheng Qi touched her hair, took out the deed of sale from his arms, opened it and looked at it: "Gu Tutu? He looked up and asked Qing Dai, "This is your name when you were a Yiren?" ”

When Qing Dai heard the three words Gu Tutu, she was full of excitement and nodded unnaturally.

Cheng Qi noticed her strangeness, and was a little surprised in his heart, it seems that Qing Dai's childhood life is very cruel, otherwise she would not have left such a shadow and scar, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

Under this system, origin really determines everything, and it is not as good as modern times, and people here, like Qingdai, who are from the lowest background, don't even have a chance to turn over.

"Girl."

Qing Dai lowered her head, stared at her trembling hands, and said, "When I was young... The slave has a younger brother, and the two of us were trafficked to the Central Plains... Do... Be a prostitute. ”

Cheng Qi frowned.

Wandering prostitute... It was those foreign merchants who led the dog leash around their necks and walked down alleys, and three copper coins could be played with once... It's even worse than those female prostitutes in the Guanyu Building.

"Later, before he could wait for the benefactor, the slave became ill, and the foreign merchant threw the slave away." Qing Dai said, "It was Song Jiu from the slave house who picked up the slave back, and the slave didn't want to be anymore... lived like before, and used a few taels of silver stolen from foreign businessmen to make Song Jiu change his household registration, and then... It was sold to the mansion of this country. ”

Cheng Qi was distressed when he heard this: "What about your brother?" ”

Qing Dai suddenly became even more painful, and her shoulders trembled terribly: "Brother... When it is resold by foreign businessmen... Because of the untruthfulness of the original road... Lost direction at the pass ... A bunch of people are hungry... In order not to starve to death ... That foreign businessman... The head of the foreign businessman put his younger brother... Put my brother..."

'Thorn-'

Before Qing Dai finished speaking, she heard a clear sound of paper tearing, she looked up in a daze, but she was shocked, she didn't expect Cheng Qi to tear up the deed of sale with Gu Tutu written on it.

"Girl?" She asked, tears in her eyes.

Cheng Qi threw those fragments into the charcoal basin and burned them, turned around and said calmly: "Follow me, no one will bully you." ”

Qing Dai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Cheng Qi said lightly: "What does Gututu mean in your Yi language?" ”

Qingdai said in a low voice: "... Puppy. ”

"It's really ugly, who named you Qingdai?"

"It's the last housekeeper Liu Hua."

"Qingdai is a Chinese herbal medicine, although it clears heat, but the taste is salty and cold, which is not good." Cheng Qi looked out of the Xuan window, the bright crescent moon hanging, very beautiful, "In the future, you will be called Yueying, as long as I am here, I will not let you lose a penny." ”

Qingdai was obedient and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, girl." ”

- All people are created equal, what is the difference between three, six, nine and so on.

Girl, with your words, Qingdai will serve you wholeheartedly for a lifetime.

…

…

In the upper hall of the courtyard in the third room, Cheng Yunduo and Tan Pi sat opposite each other, Lu Er stood next to him, and behind him was the lively Ji family, the man glanced at the paper in Cheng Yunduo's hand, and said coldly: "This is really a new formula?" ”

Cheng Yunduo nodded and said, "It should be right." ”

Tan Pi said: "The third master should open it, I don't know what new recipe Miss Qi has developed." ”

Cheng Yunduo heard this, and slowly opened the folded paper in all directions, with a gentle movement, for fear of damage, and then flattened it for everyone to see, but the four of them were all confused.

There is indeed a recipe written on it, and there are some ghost drawings next to it that they can't see, Tan Pizai looked at it carefully, and then said with some confusion: "The third master... This... Isn't this the signboard in the incense shop, Jiuhua incense, this... This isn't a new recipe either. ”

Cheng Yun snatched the paper back, looked at it back and forth, and exploded angrily.

Lu Er also panicked, and took two steps back uneasily, for fear that a thunderous anger from that person would fall on his head.

"That's... What are those circles and forks next to it? ”

Ji asked, leaning his neck.

Cheng Yun grabbed the death, gritted his teeth and said, "... Who knows. ”

Of course, they wouldn't know, because what Cheng Qi was going to do was not a new type of spice at all, she just wanted to turn the spice into water and incinerate it to evaporate, so the ingredients had not changed.

Secondly, the so-called circles and forks in Ji's mouth are actually just some chemical formulas, and those of them who have not been exposed to modern science naturally can't understand or understand them.

In other words, what they exchanged for the deed of sale was still a useless blank piece of paper.

"Cheng Qi..."

Cheng Yunduo was burned with anger, his hair was emitting white smoke, he turned his head and stared at Lu Er viciously, eager to look at that person, and said in a low voice: "... Fall for her tricks again. ”
