Chapter 41: Greed
"Zhen'er! It's only been a while, and I miss my grandmother! "Chen Qiaoqiao teased Zhen'er, the child is soft, tender, I don't know how comfortable it is to the touch." Not really! It was my mother who said that she was going to come to my grandmother, and my mother said that the money that my grandmother promised had not yet been given to Zhen'er! "Children don't hide anything, they can say whatever they want. Ye Wanrong didn't expect this Zhen'er to say it so directly, Rao is thick-skinned, but she is still slightly embarrassed.
"Zhen'er, go play with your aunt for a while, grandmother has something to discuss with your mother!" Zhen'er nodded and went to play with her aunt. "Mother-in-law, it's not that the daughter-in-law is greedy for money, it's just that the mother-in-law promised, Zhen'er also remembers......" Ye Wanrong hurriedly explained, but Chen Qiaoqiao waved her hand, "Zhen'er's silver I won't miss him, I was originally going to give him five taels, even if it was his credit, but I remembered one thing and had other ideas!" ”
Chen Qiaoqiao glanced at Ye Wanrong, but did not continue, but picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly, making Ye Wanrong anxious, originally heard that there were five taels of silver, Ye Wanrong was also a little happy, I didn't expect him to accompany his mother-in-law to ask for silver, there would be so much share! You must know that Chen Zhongkang's monthly salary is only a dozen taels.
"Mother-in-law, what do you think!" Ye Wanrong was a little anxious. "Daughter-in-law, my mother-in-law has a purple crystal pendant and I don't know where it went, my mother-in-law is wondering, is it Zhen'er who is greedy for fun and took it? The purple crystal is worthless, and it is only the price of one or two silver, but it is the relic of your father-in-law, I love it very much, these days, I always dream that your father-in-law asked me about the whereabouts of the purple crystal pendant, quite a little blame me, I was restless, I don't care about the other things I lost, but this crystal pendant is really concerned. Daughter-in-law, go and help me find it, if you can find it, give Zhen'er ten taels! If not, take the five taels of silver with you!" As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket worth five taels from his bosom.
Ye Wanrong felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Chen Qiaoqiao say that the crystal pendant, this crystal pendant was really in her hand, but as Chen Qiaoqiao said, she took it and asked, it was really not worth a few dollars, she knew that Chen was hinting that she took it out, and deliberately said that it might be Zhen'er who was greedy and took it. It's just that when she heard that there were five taels of silver, her heart became active, and her mother-in-law didn't seem to want anything else, as long as this crystal pendant, Ye Wanrong wanted to open it, since the crystal pendant was her mother-in-law's favorite, and it was worthless, she could exchange it for five taels of silver, how could she not do such a business?
So he didn't take the silver ticket, "Yes! This shock is also naughty, no, I broke my hairpin a few days ago, so I'll go back and look for some, maybe throw him in that corner! Chen Qiaoqiao looked at Ye Wanrong's still calm appearance, and deeply admired, this daughter-in-law has a thick skin that can't be inferred by common sense.
"In that case, you should hurry back and look for it, I have prepared silver waiting for you!" Chen Qiaoqiao was also curious if this purple crystal was the one that guided her through. Ye Wanrong agreed and went back quickly.
Chen Qiaoqiao stood up and walked into the courtyard. Seeing what Si Zuo and Si You were looking at with great interest, Chen Qiaoqiao fixed her eyes and saw that it was the young man who helped her level the ground last time, Chen Qiaoqiao still remembered his name, it seemed that his name was Yangzi, and this time he had some vegetable seedlings in his hands.
"Madame! Last time, I heard Xing'er say that Mrs. wanted to plant some vegetables, and when I saw that there were vegetable seedlings at home, I brought some over! The young man smiled innocently. Chen Qiaoqiao is a little strange, this young man doesn't seem to be a flattering person, why is he so courteous? Just thinking about it, seeing this young man suddenly looking ahead, his eyes exuding a look of obsession, Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly realized! I see!
In front of her, Xing'er was walking in a curling manner, and when she approached, Yangzi hurriedly lowered her head and planted vegetables again. Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh secretly, it turned out to be for Xing'er, I had heard of the curve to save the country, but this Yangzi's line seems to be too long, in order to see Xing'er, he appeared in front of her, he actually went around such a big bend to help him grow vegetables!
Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly had a sense of mission, and felt that she should help this loyal and honest Yangzi, this Yangzi is a man who will hurt people at first glance, if Xing'er is willing, it is also a beautiful thing. "Madame! This is the laundry that was washed today, and I will put it in the room for Madame! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled and didn't answer, "Xing'er! Look at it, this Yangzi is really a caring person, the **** just said casually, he wanted to plant some cabbage, so he brought vegetable seedlings from home, such a man is rare! ”
Xing'er had actually seen Yoko a long time ago, but she just pretended not to see it, this Yoko's gaze at her was always so warm, how could she not understand, so she blushed slightly, "This is the duty of a subordinate, Mrs. Don't praise him, he thought he had done something great!" ”
"Miss Apricot is right, this is her duty, Madame doesn't have to take it to heart!" Yoko still smiled innocently, but her eyes stayed on Apricot for a long time and never left. Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Stupid! Apricot couldn't help but stomp her feet and rushed into the room. Si Zuo and Si You also understood a little bit, and chased in, "Xing'er is ashamed!" Shame! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao walked in, "Si Zuo, Si Right, don't make fun of Sister Xing'er!" Si Zuo and Si Right, then made a grimace and went out again. This Zhen'er still stayed outside, and growing vegetables was really fun for him, so he looked at him intently. But Yoko's eyes were staring blankly at the room, as if he was stunned, and he seemed to have endless sorrow, and sighed secretly, "Yoko! Why don't you do it yet! Only then did Yangzi come back to his senses and smiled slightly, "Little master, this is planted, you watch, dig a small pit first, then put the vegetable seedling roots in it, and then cover the soil, it's good!" ”
"Apricot! This Yoko seems to be very interested in you! What do you think? Chen Qiaoqiao asked straight to the point, she could see that Xing'er was also very interested in Yangzi, Chen Qiaoqiao was already a sister when Xing'er, and hoped that she would have a good home, and now she had a lot of silver in her hands, if Xing'er got married, she would also buy a good dowry for her.
"What else can I think, my father doesn't look down on him at all, so I have to pretend I don't know!" Xing'er was a little gloomy, "Earlier, he asked someone to ask my father secretly, but my father refused, saying that he was too poor, and he was just a descendant of the Chen family, and he would not have any great success in the future!" ”
This Chen Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Steward Liu was also so philistine! However, parents all want their children to live a prosperous life, and there is nothing wrong with this, plus this Yangzi's family background is really not good, and it is understandable that the housekeeper refuses.
"That's your father's fault, if you like it, I'll tell him!" Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a great responsibility, this pair of lovers can't be missed like this. "Don't! Madame, don't embarrass my father! Anyway, my dad doesn't want me to get married so early, let's talk about it later! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao wanted to say something, but she heard Ye Wanrong's voice from a distance, "Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Got it! Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and sneered, really, I heard that she was willing to give ten taels of silver, she moved so fast, she was not afraid of anyone doubting, it was too fast to find something, she almost came over just after she went back! When Apricot heard someone coming, she hurriedly retreated, and Yoko's vegetables were almost planted, and she also followed closely behind Apricot and left together.
However, Chen Qiaoqiao's strange thinking is incomprehensible, "Mother-in-law, look at it, isn't this it?" Chen Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took the brilliant crystal in Ye Wanrong's hand, this is the crystal she got when she was closing the Sword Gate! So, this was originally Chen's thing, but it appeared more than a thousand years later, and then led him to travel here?
This leaf is too incredible, or is there an ulterior secret in this crystal? Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought, she seemed to have a little clue, but she couldn't figure it out. "Mother-in-law! This crystal has been found, this silver ......" Chen Qiaoqiao boldly took out ten taels of silver tickets and handed them to Ye Wanrong, "If this Chen family loses items in the future, they will have to report to the official, and the chaos at home is really not what it looks like!" ”
After finishing speaking, she went back by herself and left Ye Wanrong at the door, since this Ye Wanrong was so shameless, she simply said it clearly, if she didn't deter her, who knew what she would come to steal in the future! Ye Wanrong's face suddenly turned blue and white, she knew that her mother-in-law was saying this to her! Ye Wanrong suddenly felt a chill, this mother-in-law can do it! She felt more and more that Hu Feng was right, this mother-in-law is a ghost, she would never be like this before, thinking of the mother-in-law who was timid and afraid of things and didn't dare to say a word, and then look at the mother-in-law who is now sharp-toothed, imposing, and quite high-means, where does this look like the same person? Isn't it really a ghost? The more Ye Wanrong thought about it, the more frightened she became, and hurriedly pulled Zhen'er back to the room.
Chen Qiaoqiao sat in front of the bed, slowly combing through everything that happened, she got a mysterious crystal in a mysterious shop, and then saw a strange picture, and then inexplicably crossed over! In this way, the picture is Chen Wei and Chen, but why did you choose her to come here? And since this crystal has the ability to travel through time and space, can it take her back to the past?
