Chapter 15: The White Jade Bracelet
The white jade bracelet was the old lady's favorite thing, and she couldn't get it for a long time.
The old lady also said that this was to be passed on to her granddaughter-in-law, and she knew that her identity was not worthy of the position of wife, so she broke off her thoughts. Unexpectedly, the old lady gave this unknown woman like this.
"Mother, you see they are too bullying." Zeng Qiaoniang's aggrieved tears came down again, and she cried non-stop relying on Mrs. Gao.
Even the embroidery girl who has always spoken little was a little surprised, no one thought that the old lady would be so generous, what the bracelet represented, everyone present knew it, so it was even more shocked. "Mother, that bracelet ......"
When Mrs. Gao thought of this Hou Mansion, she was afraid that it was almost gone, and these two useless daughters still cared about these small things, and she was even more angry in her heart, "Something that has no interest, are you afraid that no one will be able to take care of her?" Hmph, when the one in the palace knows, she will suffer. ”
Want to snatch something from her? It's just wishful thinking, even if the old woman thinks of her, a lame person, she Gao Xiaolan is no longer afraid.
Zeng Qiaoniang instantly understood the meaning of her mother's words, and quickly wiped her tears and prepared to arrange for someone to deliver the letter.
Mu Sijun is very uncomfortable with such intimacy, not to mention that in her heart, she and Baili Chengnuo are not a real husband and wife, it stands to reason that she should not accept this generous gift, but when she saw Baili Chengnuo blinking beside her, she had to take it with both hands, "Much, thank you grandma." ”
"Oh, good."
Since I remembered, Mu Sijun was alone, and although his brother treated him very well, he was different from men and women, and he was never too close. When she was held in the arms of the old lady today, the good smell of sandalwood on the old man's body made her have a moment of trance, and she thought that if she had a mother and a grandmother, would she treat herself so well.
For the first time, Mu Sijun had some desire for family affection.
"My little Junjun, what are you thinking?" After Baili Chengnuo saw her come back, he kept staring at the bracelet and asked curiously.
Mu Sijun moved the silk cloth wrapped in the white jade bracelet, "I'm thinking, this thing is too valuable, I can't afford it, you better keep it." ”
"Grandma gave it to you personally, how can I want to come back." Baili Chengnuo casually pushed the thing back.
"That's when she doesn't know what we're really about." Mu Sijun moved things over again.
"Ouch," watching these two people let go here, Chunxiu couldn't help it,
"I said you two don't push around, if you really don't want it, it's better to give it to Chunxiu, such a good condition, maybe it can be sold for a lot of money."
Mu Sijun swept his eyes coldly, "Shut up and let me out." ”
"Oh," she is often kicked out of the house for saying the wrong thing, and Chunxiu, this girl, can also be a heavenly existence.
Qianshi was secretly having fun, so he listened to Baili Chengnuo, "You, also give me out." ”
"Ah, I didn't do anything."
What is the fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond, Qianshi saw it again, and he felt that he was really unlucky.
Okay, you husband and wife are good for me and me, and we outsiders are not good to be there.
Baili Chengnuo looked at the bracelet, "The real situation is that we are already husband and wife, even if you divorce me tomorrow, we are still husband and wife today, this bracelet is my grandmother's dowry back then, and it was said to be for her granddaughter-in-law, so you must keep it." ”
Mu Sijun, "I see, no wonder your cousin cried like that today." ”
Baili Chengnuo took the opportunity to put the white jade bracelet on Mu Sijun's hand, "Look, you look so good when you wear it." ”
Mu Sijun smiled, "You're really not afraid of seeing this heirloom in the pawnshop one day." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Baili Chengnuo's mouth twitched, "Since it was given to you, it is your object, if there is really such a day, I have no ability to keep people." ”
But I would never allow that to happen.
"Well," since you have accepted the things, you have to give something back to them.
"Can you tell me about your next steps?"
Mu Sijun stroked the bracelet, and said in his heart that things outside the mansion may not be able to help, but the mansion can help you be a villain, clean up everything that should be cleaned up, just see what he wants to do.
Baili Chengnuo pondered for a moment, "Protect yourself." ”
"Huh?" Mu Sijun was stunned for a moment, originally thought that he would make a high-minded statement, talking about how he planned to arrest those who wanted to kill him, and how he wanted her to drive Mrs. Gao and the others away, and return the Hou Mansion to a clean place, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple sentence.
Baili Chengnuo nodded cautiously, "You have a tongue at this time today, although you are happy to be angry for me, but some people must be unhappy, although I don't know much about the private affairs of the back house, but I have heard of those endless methods of subordination, I am worried that they will find ways to harm you, so you don't have to do anything, just protect yourself." ”
What he said is really true, the old marquis is the Marquis of Weiding, who was awarded the title of meritorious service for suppressing bandits, and before that, he was only a military attache in the army, so the family relationship is very simple, only one wife and one son. Unlike other big families with three wives and four concubines, because of this, the methods of the back house are only heard of and never seen in person.
Although Mu Sijun is a wasted person, she is not stupid, she still has the ability to ask herself to protect herself, so she is a little unimpressed.
"I know you're smart and have some means, and I think no one can bully you, but I'm still very worried, so you must remember to look for me if you have something on weekdays, you know?"
The sincerity revealed in his words was irrefutable, and Mu Sijun's originally smiling face calmed down, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Baili Chengnuo didn't know why, he suddenly wanted to hug the person in front of him, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he just did it after thinking about it, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first." ”
At this time, it was early afternoon, Mrs. Gao came back from Nuoyuan, directly smashed a whole room of porcelain, the crackling sound did not stop at noon, seeing that noon was over, a little girl in the kitchen timidly ran over and asked if she wanted to pass lunch.
Angry, Mrs. Gao shouted, "Carry me out, scold me for twenty and then drag it out and sell it." ”
The girl was originally a lowly fire girl, and she was dragged alive by everyone to the Furong Courtyard, and the guards at the door were hungry because Mrs. Gao didn't eat, so she was put in, but she didn't expect to suffer this disaster unexpectedly.
Suddenly frightened and fell to his knees, his head was about to bleed, "Madam, madam, you spare the slave and maid, spare the slave and the maid this time, the slave and the maid know that it is wrong, and the slave and the maid will never dare again." ”
But the more Mrs. Gao listened, the more upset she became, "Are you all dead, why don't you hurry up and get her away for me, the lowly things have stained my eyes for no reason." ”
I don't know who is scolding.
Mama Qin cautiously accompanied the smiling face, "Madam, even if you are angry, you still have to eat this meal, otherwise it will hurt your body and make that person take advantage of it." ”
"They are dreaming," Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and threw another glass bottle, "Mrs. Ben has been operating here for a long time, but it's not like they want to take it back, it's a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and I will really force me to be cornered, and none of them want to get out alive." ”
Thinking that the old lady was still holding her and Mu Sijun's hands when she was leaving, saying that harmony is precious, and saying that they will be a family in the future, isn't that clearly wanting to stand up for that cheap girl? What is that, and it deserves to be a family with her Gao Xiaolan.
Mama Qin stepped forward, "Since Madame has this heart, the old slave has a plan here." ”
The next morning, Mu Sijun went out early, she has always been a person who doesn't like to go out, but the old lady ordered Yahuan to come and invite, she really couldn't postpone it, so she had to take Chunxiu and Qiansan to go.
When I went out, I found that there were a few guards in the garden.
Qian 13 explained, "Yesterday, the Hou Ye said that there have always been people breaking in to disturb his wife's rest recently, so he arranged to increase the guards, and in the future, Nuoyuan will not be allowed to enter unless it is passed through." ”
"Master Hou has a heart."
It turned out that Baili Chengnuo was really thinking about her safety, and not only sent Qiansan to his side, but even increased the guards. Although Mu Sijun felt that this was a bit of a big deal, his heart was still full of gratitude.
When Nuoyuan came out, he arrived at the garden of the Marquis of Weiding's mansion. Although this garden is small, the scenery is good.
It is the turn of spring and summer, all kinds of flowers bloom in the garden, and after a rain last night, the branches and treetops have a clear fragrance, and the air is exceptionally good.
Ash couldn't hold back his restlessness and kept jumping. This little guy has an almost ordinary love for the mountains, and Mu Sijun couldn't stop it, so he let it go.
Seeing a gray shadow passing in front of him like lightning, Qian Thirteen was still very surprised even though he had already seen it, "Madam, aren't you worried about hurting people by letting it out like this?" ”
That's a poisonous mink.
Chunxiu, "Don't worry, Ash knows how to measure." ”
After a bend, a person suddenly appeared in front of him to block the road, and Qian Thirteen looked nervous and was about to draw his sword, when he saw the man fall to the ground with a thud.
"Madame, please save me."
"You are? Little Peach? ”
Mu Sijun thought about it for a long time before he remembered, wasn't the person in front of him the little peach who followed Zeng Qiaoniang to her courtyard a few days ago to find trouble.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and this girl has completely changed.
The previous high-flying and domineering expression was long gone, a face was as white as snow, chapped lips, and a few weeds mixed in the middle of the scattered hair, as if they had not been washed for several days, and it looked very miserable.
"How did you become like this?"
Xiao Tao walked a few steps on her knees and cried, "Madam, Miss Zeng, she is really ruthless, because the slave's right hand is useless and can't do things, so she wants to sell the slave and maid." Madame, please save me, my parents are old, and every month they wait for me to go back to support the family with money, if I am really sold, not only will I be worse than dead, but my family will be starved to death. Please, madam, do well, and have mercy on me. ”
