The same is true for the big tiger, the second tiger finished sweeping the yard and hurried back to the house to ask the reason, and saw the big tiger sitting on the 'bed' like the bottom of the pot, and there was something wrapped in a handkerchief on the table, and when he opened it, he saw that it was all kinds of girls' ornaments and some copper coins, he couldn't understand it in his heart, and walked to the big tiger and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? Didn't you work well yesterday, why did you change today and everything came back? ”

"How do I know, don't bother me, I'm bothered." The big tiger scratched his head irritably.

"Let's talk about it, say it and sum it up together, and see what's going on."

As soon as Xiaohu said, Dahu was even more irritable, "You don't have long eyes, you didn't see the pile of things on the table, they are all back, what else do you say?" ”

"What I don't understand is here, how can I pay you back all of them? What did she tell you when you went out this morning? ”

She said she was going to keep her vow. We are not suitable, and when I expire, she will be old, and my family will not accept such an old daughter-in-law, so I will find someone else and stop pestering her. I returned all the jewelry I gave before, and she paid me back the rouge gouache she bought for her. ”

"That's what I said, you are about the same age, five years later, you will be twenty-one, and she will be around twenty, not to mention others, can your father and mother accept a daughter-in-law at such an age?"

"I don't know, I sold myself into slavery just to raise money for my brother to marry, my sister-in-law is a year older than me, I guess when I get married, my father and mother may also tell me a sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter-in-law." The big tiger shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, you said the same thing, then listen to her, break it, don't think about it anymore."

"But don't you think you can't break it? Everyone lives in a courtyard, and they don't look up and see each other, she talks about this, how will they get along in the future. ”

"She just 'forced' you to die, she kowtowed in front of the girl and swore an oath, everyone saw it, she couldn't be nice to you This is a fact, you can't think about it, you should be good to get together and disperse, it's not interesting to have a dead face."

Dahu didn't have a better idea for a while, and nodded along with Xiaohu's words in a daze. Xiaohu saw that he answered himself, thinking that Dahu would slowly want to open, so he didn't say anything, thinking that the cart that delivered the vegetables should arrive in a while, so he let Dahu calm down in the house alone, and he went out of the 'door' to prepare to go to the kitchen courtyard.

In the courtyard, Aunt Wu happened to catch Xiaohu to inquire about the situation, Xiaohu didn't say anything, perfunctory Aunt Wu said a few words, and called He Xiaojie and the two hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Xiangru was waiting in the house for breakfast, but she heard Gui 'Hua' report the strange situation of Erni and Dahu, and saw that the four people went into the house for a long time and did not come out, knowing that no one was 'getting' breakfast today, so she took some money and asked Gui 'Hua' to go to the street to buy some steamed buns, soy milk soup cakes, fritters, deal with breakfast, and then called Erni and Dahu to ask questions in the living room.

Before speaking, Xiangru took out the osmanthus 'flower', didn't let her listen, and closed the big 'door', and only Xiangru and the three of them were in the living room.

"Tell me, what's going on with you two in the morning?" Xiangru looked at Erni and Dahu kneeling in front of her, and the two said slowly.

"Back girl, it's nothing, it's just a little quarrel." Erni spoke first.

"Spat at the bell? Why the quarrel? Xiangru asked, "Haven't you two been doing well all the time?" What's so ugly? ”

"That's ......" Dahu wanted to speak, but Erni suddenly bowed down and kowtowed, "Ask the girl to be the master." ”

"Say."

"Ask the girl to spare Erni and Dahu from their daily morning errands, and Erni would rather go grocery shopping with her sister than be with Dahu again." Erni bit her lower lip with a firm expression, but Dahu's face was pale, and Xiangru knew it in her eyes.

"Reason."

"I don't want to be gossiped about by the people on the street, so I beg the girl to fulfill it." Erni's reasons are very good.

"The big tiger heard it too?"

"No, the big tiger hasn't heard of it." Dahu hurriedly shook his head.

Erni was anxious and shouted at Dahu, "It's obvious that there is, but you didn't hear it." ”

"What are you arguing about. Erni, you study, what do the people on the street say? Xiangru said.

"People on the street see us rushing to the morning market every day, thinking that we are husband and wife, I said that they still don't believe it, and some of them are skeptical and say how can there be a master's family to arrange an errand like this. So I don't want to be with the big tiger anymore, and I beg the girl to fulfill it. ”

"Really?" Xiangru doesn't believe it very much, whose three aunts and six mothers-in-law are idle to this point and gossip about other people's subordinates, and they are not afraid of the master's revenge?

"Seriously." Erni gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Without the big tiger to help you, you can carry such a heavy vegetable basket alone?"

"Please let Sanni accompany me."

"No, when you usually buy vegetables, Sanni is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and you both go to the street, who is busy in the kitchen? Originally, my girl was just you and the three of you, do you want me to make everyone's breakfast? ”

Erni panicked, "Girl, Erni doesn't mean that, Erni just doesn't want to buy vegetables with Dahu anymore, so it's better for the girl to let Dahu and Erhu go shopping for groceries by themselves." ”

"This is even worse, now you two come back from grocery shopping every day, Erni, you go directly to the second floor to report to me, remove you and let them do it alone, then I have to listen to the report in the future, and I have to go downstairs deliberately? Erni, have you figured out who is the master here? ”

Erni was about to cry, "I can make He Xiaojie ......"

"He Xiaojie? What does the little 'chicken' look like yet? Can he carry a whole bag of rice and flour oil? ”

Erni was completely speechless, disappointed to find that there was no one to be her shield.

"Big Tiger, come on, why did you two quarrel this morning." Xiangru no longer paid attention to Erni and turned to the big tiger.

"Girl, I'm ......," the big tiger muttered, unable to spit out a complete sentence.

"What do you do, talk!" Xiangru slapped the table to scare the two.

"The girl is angry, I say, I say, I say all." Dahu is a 'excited' spirit, "In the morning, Erni ...... all the things I gave her before"

"No, don't say it, it's nothing, it's just gossip from people on the street." Erni nudged Dahu and interrupted him again.

"Erni, shut up. Big Tiger, continued. Xiangru slapped the table again and forcibly stopped Erni from interrupting. Erni didn't dare to make another time, and knelt honestly, but her shoulders were shaking unconsciously.

"Girl, I'll say it all. I confessed that I had been secretly on good terms with Erni, but this morning Erni returned all the things I had given her before, and at this point, she didn't want to drag me down, I didn't accept it, so I quarreled. Girl, don't blame Erni, it's all my fault, I provoked her, she is a good girl, she is not at fault at all, it is all my fault, please punish the girl. The big tiger turned his heart sideways, and after confessing honestly, he bowed down and kowtowed.

Xiangru didn't react in surprise at all, she just wanted to 'force' the truth of the two people so that she could make arrangements.

"Erni, what Dahu said is the truth?"

"Yes, girl, it's the truth." Erni softened after listening to Dahu's confession, for fear that Xiangru would be angry, so she lowered her head and trembled all over.

"The subordinate hooked up 'privately' behind the master's back, but it was a felony, do you know the mistake?"

"Knowing the mistake, we know the mistake, we don't dare anymore, we don't dare to expect the girl to forgive, but I ask the girl to punish me, I will bear it alone, it's not Erni's business." At this time, Dahu was still interceding for Erni.

"Big Tiger, I didn't see that you were not very old, but you were 'very' affectionate. You like Erni so much? ”

"Yes, I really like Erni." Anyway, the truth has been said, and the big tiger has also let it go.

"How much do you know about the feelings of men and women when you haven't grown your 'hair' and 'milk' at an age when your 'milk' stinks haven't dried up? Know what a liking is? ”

"I like to see her all the time, I want to buy her when I see something good on the street, I like to see her laugh, I like to talk to her, I want to share everything I have with her, and there are many, many more." The big tiger stretched his neck and said with red ears, Erni was so embarrassed that she covered her face with her hands and lowered her head, and her ears were almost red and transparent.

Xiangru almost laughed in her belly, what a cute pure little relationship, but it's a pity that she still has a cold face and continues to toss this poor little couple.

"Erni, what Dahu said is the truth?"

Erni still hid her face with her hands, didn't move or speak, and people didn't know what she was thinking now.

"Erni, put your hand down and speak." Xiangru 'forced' to say.

Dahu also pushed Erni with his elbow and asked her to speak quickly.

Finally, Erni let go of her hands slightly, spit out a "yes" in a mosquito-like voice, and hurriedly covered her face.

"Erni, what do you think of the big tiger?"

Xiangru's question was too direct, Erni was not embarrassed to answer at all, covered her face and turned sideways, and said nothing without saying anything.

After waiting for a while, when there was no follow-up, Xiangru looked for the steps to get out of the game, "Big Tiger, looking at Erni like this, it seems that she is really not interested in you, don't think about her anymore, you two will break up immediately, and I will let Sanni go out with you to buy vegetables from tomorrow morning." ”

"Girl......!" The big tiger was taken aback.

"Girl!" Erni was also shocked, the blood on her face faded, and she said eagerly, "Girl, Sanni is still young, she can't settle accounts, she will make mistakes in the addition and subtraction of larger numbers, and she will definitely report the wrong account if she asks Sanni to go grocery shopping." ”

"In this way, aren't the best candidates still you and Dahu? But you don't want to be with the big tiger anymore, what do you tell me to do? You have to find a replacement, right? Do you want me to go to the morning market every day to buy groceries? ”

"Girl, I ......" Erni was 'forced' to scratch her ears and cheeks, no matter how she said it, the fault was all on her, as if she was making trouble alone.

"Girl, don't 'force' Erni, she's just a girl with a thin face, and the gossip on the street is ugly, so the girl will spare her." The big tiger pleaded again.

"Big Tiger, why do you always help Erni speak? Just like her so much? Can't see her being wronged a little? ”

"Girl, I caused today's incident, I voluntarily accept the punishment, please dismantle our gang, and let Xiaohu and Erni buy vegetables in the future."

"Okay. Erni, would you like to? You can think clearly, I don't have enough manpower here, and if you want to fall out with Xiaohu again, no one will change it. Originally, I didn't care too much about the two of you, it is normal for young people to have 'spring' and young 'women' to think about 'spring', but you want to make such a scene, that's okay, I will fulfill your wish. Now I solemnly warn you two that once the gang is dismantled, you two must keep your distance, and if there is anything to be conveyed to others, don't let me hear the news that you are secretly 'touching' and 'touching' again, otherwise I will never spare you two. ”

Erni Dahu looked at Xiangru in extreme shock, and then the two looked at each other for a long time, Dahu looked at Erni nervously, and Erni's lips moved for a long time without a word, not nodding or shaking his head, the whole person seemed to be stupid.

"Erni, for the sake of you being my half-sister, I'll ask you one last time, have you thought it through? I don't have the patience to spend time here with you, figuring out who you are now! Erni didn't speak for a long time, and Xiangru waited impatiently and scolded sternly.

Erni was frightened by Xiangru's loud shout, her body shrank, and her tears slid down, crying and shaking her head. It makes people even more 'confused' to understand what she means.

Xiangru pointed at Erni and said to Da Hu, "Look at this stupid girl, I really don't know what you like about her, Da Hu, if you really want to get a wife for yourself, what do you think of that Sanni?" ”

"Huh?" The big tiger was dumbfounded.

Erni 'excited' moved, "Girl, please, Sanni is still young, don't drive her away, what I said at the beginning, we will not marry for the rest of our lives, and we will serve the girl willingly." ”

"Sanni said that I still believe it, and now you say that I don't believe it at all, a girl who has obviously thought about 'spring' and has been with people for a while said that she will not marry for the rest of her life, do you want me to pull you out to find a neighborhood to evaluate and judge to see how credible it is?"

"Don't, don't, girl, please, I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore, I won't be emotional about any man anymore, I will keep my oath."

"Don't, I don't believe it, tell others about it in your next life. Big Tiger ......"

"Here, what does the girl command?" Dahu knelt straight and waited for Xiangru's command.

"Dahu, didn't you just say that you like Erni, will I give her to you as a daughter-in-law?"

The big tiger was even more stupid, he didn't know how to react with his mouth open, and Erni next to him was so shocked that she withdrew her tears, and the two fools looked at Xiangru with their mouths open.

"Big Tiger, speak, if you don't say it well, I'll turn around and take Erni away, so as to save me the trouble in front of me."

"Girl, don't, don't call people teeth, I want, I want Erni, I will marry her, and I will marry her when I am free." Dahu excitedly went to pull Erni's hand.

"Big Tiger, no, I'm a death contract, you are a living contract, we have different identities, please don't be like this, in the future, you should find a girl with the same identity as you." was pulled recklessly by the big tiger, Erni finally came back to her senses and hurriedly refused.

"Erni, you don't want to ......" Dahu's happy face just now collapsed in a blink of an eye, "I am sincere to you, I will definitely be good to you, if I break my oath, I will be thundered five times in the sky." ”

Xiangru, who was sitting at the top, quietly rolled her eyes, this oath really came casually, like a commonplace, swearing is really simple, but she really doesn't want to keep a half-sister who has moved her 'spring' heart by her side, what will she be willing to serve herself if she doesn't marry for a lifetime, she is afraid that these two girls will regret it in a few years, and then resentment for her whole life is probably true, since someone is willing to want it now, send one a.

"Big Tiger, how much was you worth when you sold your body?" Now that she had her thoughts, Xiangru decisively pushed forward, pulled back to the big tiger thinking, and continued to get to the point.

"Back to the girl, ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels, oh, that's not too expensive." Xiangru thought about it in her heart and was relieved, "That's it, Dahu, give you three years, three years later, Erni's age will also be reached, in three years, you will save enough ten taels of silver to redeem yourself, make it clear to your father, please ask the matchmaker to come to the 'door', the number of gifts that should be done are in place, and when the dowry is set for the wedding date, I will set Erni free and let her go with you." How is it? ”

The big tiger was overjoyed, and he didn't know how to express his excitement and excitement, but he only knew how to keep kowtowing to Xiangru, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Erni was even more stupid, it took a while to digest Xiangru's words just now, her face was flushed again, and she instantly looked like a little daughter-in-law 'woman' to be married.

"Okay, that's it, you two are business as usual, but give me a little restraint, remember to be polite when getting along, at most pull hands and kiss the mouth, absolutely not allowed***, if you make your belly bigger, I can castrate you, do you hear?"

"Oops!" Where did Erni know that Xiangru would say such a 'lewd' word, she was ashamed to 'cover' her face with her hands, and she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head.

Da Hu's face was also "teng" red, he is now only a sixteen or seventeen big boy, not yet the age of a man's adulthood, it is great to tell meat jokes among the little girls, Xiangru's bold language also made him choked enough.

"I ask you, do you hear that?" Xiangru didn't seem to pay attention to the dilemma of the two of them, and chased after her, Erni Dahu was so ashamed that she couldn't open her mouth, and only nodded frequently, and Xiangru gave up.

"Okay, this matter is over, you two don't give me death or life in the future, it will affect everyone's emotions."

"Yes, girl, it won't be like this again, we must be fine for the rest of our lives." The big tiger was scared stupid before, but now he is laughing stupidly.

"Just remember your words today. Alright, let's all go out and work, and I'll be busy for you both in the morning. ”

"Yes, thank you, girl." The big tiger happily pulled up Erni and wanted to take her hand and go out together, Erni was still shy, shook off the big tiger's hand, and ran to the 'door' to open the 'door' to go out, the big tiger hurriedly caught up, and in the blink of an eye, the two ran away one after the other.

Gui 'Hua' stepped into the 'door', changed a cup of hot tea to Xiangru, looked at the courtyard outside the 'door', and cautiously whispered in Xiangru's ear, "The girl already knows about Erni and Dahu?" ”

"The ornament on Erni's body, 'chest', fat and gouache, is changed every few days, and the blind can't see it, and I estimate that most of the monthly silver of the big tiger is 'spent' on Erni."

"It turns out that the girl sees everything."

"I'm close to a few of you, I'm happy if you have a good home, it's not easy for a 'woman' to live a lifetime, if someone wants it, and the other party's character is good, just get married." Xiangru is telling the truth, she is single herself, and she doesn't want to drag more innocent girls to jump into this big pit with her.

"But that's not what Erni said at the beginning."

"Little girl, I don't speak through my brain, if I really ask for trouble."

"The girls are so good to them." Osmanthus 'flower' praised.

"I have my own opinions. Okay, I'll go sit in the study for a while, you go out, and come back when you have something. ”

"Yes, girl."

Entering the 'Door'
