058 Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle
Huanhua's hand shook and she wanted to go out, but Liuli grabbed her hand and pointed to the openwork window on her head. The two of them stood up and cautiously looked out of the window, only to see Mama Li turn her head and look around, scolding the glass "little hooves" with her waist crossed, and the red sleeves were full of impatience, and said: "The feet are fast, hurry up to reincarnate!" β
No one dared to scold Huanhua like this, Huanhua glanced at Liuli, Liuli smiled casually, and pulled her to sit down quietly behind a poop of hibiscus.
At this moment, the sun is approaching noon, the sky is blue and far away, and the sun is shining down from behind through the branches of the hibiscus, pulling a pair of petite shadows to grow old.
In the distance, when the sound of silk strings stopped, Liuli stood up, "You go back first, I'll stay for a while before leaving, so as not to make them suspicious." β
Huanhua hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then you have to be careful!" β
Ruri agreed, checked the movement outside from the window, and pulled her out of the courtyard.
Huanhua walked a few steps and turned back: "Be careful!" β
Ruri nodded and waved at her, and she walked quickly.
Ruri stood in the sun for a moment before pacing slowly in the other direction.
She knows the terrain of He Fuli well, and she can say three or four with her eyes closed.
Right now, what she is going to is the second gate, and from here to the left to the big shadow wall engraved with "Purple Qi from the East", which is where the second gate is located. Today, because of Yu's birthday, some of the people were transferred to the errand, and the other part was unmanaged, so they didn't know where to gather to have fun.
Liuli stood in the shade of the flowers, at this time it was nearly noon, the meal time was coming, about the fear of the rear point to do errands, the people who left the post should come back one after another, there was a person in his twenties in the crowd. With a long white face, sword eyebrows and a straight nose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes surrounded by a halo of black, at first glance, he is a wine-colored person.
Liuli walked out of the shade of flowers and went up to the corridor in front of him, and there was someone on duty under the porch. I'm dozing off for a while. Ruri walked over and knocked on the door, and the old man looked up. Before they met, she was a little girl, and she didn't dress like a little girl, so she immediately sobered up.
"Girl, what are you?" The girl who has not left the cabinet does not go out of the second door all year round, Rao has been guarding the door in He Mansion for decades, and he is not sure what the little girl who came out alone is.
Liuli said crisply: "May I ask if Hu Jin Hu is in the Hu Steward Mansion?" β
The old lady hurriedly stood up. "Butler, this won't be thereβ"
Before he finished speaking, someone next to him said lazily: "What's the matter?" Fang Cai's peach blossom eyes had already paced in front of him, lifting his eyelids and looking at Liuli.
Liuli said timidly: "Are you in charge?" β
Hu Jin nodded. Liuli said: "I am the ninth girl in the garden, and a little girl lied to me that someone was looking for me in the second gate, so I came here." But I don't know how to go back, this time Sister Red Sleeves and Sister Caiqin don't know how to find me, I heard that you are the cousin of the fourth lady, and you are the housekeeper, and you won't blame you for going in too much, can you give me a look? β
Hu Jin's eyelids twitched, "Red sleeves? β
Liuli unexpectedly: "You don't know her?" I've heard her talk to Cai Qin firsthandβ"
"No!" Hu Jin stretched out his hand and waved it, stopped her and said, "The red sleeves next to the eldest lady, how could I not know it!" Let's go. I'll send you back. β
Hu Jin didn't regard this nine girls as a person to be respected, and after saying hello, he put his hands behind his back and waited for Liuli to leave.
Liuli smiled without a trace and left first.
Of course she wouldn't come to Erdaomen to find Hu Jin for no reason, he suffered so much humiliation in the stone cave, how could he give up? A while ago, he suddenly asked for the second door to be transferred, and he was a woman in the big kitchen, and Liuli didn't believe that he had no other purpose.
She is a person who must be avenged, and the red sleeves dragged Mama Li out to block her, if she let her be so happy. Aren't you sorry for the title of Nine Girls? And even if Red Sleeves was instructed by Yu, this could not be a reason for her to let her go.
There is not a lot of truth to talk about in this world, human life is cheap, if you are weak, she will be strong, if you are strong, she will be weak, Liuli is not here to be a Bodhisattva, she must protect herself, Red Sleeves is to blame, she can only blame her own bad life.
The two of them walked halfway, Hu Jin casually picked a leaf between his fingers, and asked, "The girl just said that she heard Red Sleeves mention me, I don't know what she said about me?" β
Liuli also looked very casual: "It seems that you told her what kind of medicine you bought for the fourth lady, but in fact, I also overheard it, and I didn't understand it very well, so I knew that you and Red Sleeves must know each other, so I came to Ermen to find you." β
Hu Jin was calm on his face, but he couldn't help but be shocked and angry in his heart, shocked that Red Sleeves didn't keep his promise to reveal these things, and he was angry that as soon as the news of him buying abortion pills for Nie's aunt spread, then he still had to be beaten to death by Nie's? After thinking about it so quickly, he firmly believed that the culprit who humiliated and tortured him that night was Red Sleeves, and at the same time hated her even more to the core.
After a while, when I arrived outside the main courtyard, I saw a group of more than a dozen mothers-in-law carrying food boxes to the courtyard. The sound of the strings had stopped, but the laughter of the room had been heard.
Hu Jin didn't mean to withdraw when he got to the ground, and Liuli didn't want him to retreat, so he quickened his pace under his feet, looking for a place where Red Sleeves might be. Under the porch of the Begonia Courtyard, I met Huanhua anxiously looking forward to the prime minister, and when I saw her, I exhaled and patted my chest, Liuli nodded slightly at her, and walked into a side room.
Mrs. Qian vacated this room for the rest of the Yu family's Nie family, and the Yu family must change their clothes before entering the table, and the red sleeves must be here at this time. There was no curtain at the door, and the red sleeves were really bending down to clean up the clothes, and the glass went straight in, and said, "Sister Red Sleeves, I heard that you were looking for me?" β
Red Sleeves turned around, and when he saw her, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Where did the girl go?" Let's find it! Today is the birthday of the eldest lady, and it is so unruly, isn't it just a shame for the lady?! β
Liuli sighed and said: "When I was watching the play, there was a little maid who came from nowhere and said that the master called me to see me in the front yard, so I went, but I didn't know that it was a lie, and I couldn't come back when I got lost, thanks to this Hu steward who sent me back." β
Red Sleeves glanced at Hu Jin, and also recognized him as Nie's cousin and the housekeeper, so he smiled across the threshold at the moment: "It turned out to be Hu Jin, but I have to worry about you." β
Hu Jin felt very tricky and insidious about the smile of the red sleeves, all full of irony, this little hoof dared to secretly give him a trick, and he actually smiled at him in public, if he didn't give her some color to see, wouldn't he let her underestimate it!
Hu Jin looked at her, smiled slowly, and bent over.
Red sleeves also think that this Hu Jin is a little weird, but he can't say what's wrong, I heard that this person usually pleases women, and he didn't look at it in the past, but now he really has a bit of romance in his eyebrows.
Turning around at the moment, it was inconvenient to talk to him again. Seeing that Liuli was still standing aside with his hands folded and doing the old man's shape, he said with a pun: "It's almost time to start, what are you doing here?" β
Liuli hurriedly turned out, and Hu Jin, a smart person, of course, also retreated together. Where the red sleeves can't see, Liuli sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, the red sleeves follow the eldest lady on weekdays, and there are many things, so you can speak straighter." Besides, tonight, Mrs. Qian also invited their big girls to eat wine in Pear Blossom Courtyard, I don't know how late it is, I am busy taking care of so many things during the day, it is inevitable that my attitude is not good, don't take it to heart. β
Hu Jin picked out the key point from her pile of nonsense: "You said they were going to eat wine in the pear blossom courtyard in the east tonight?" β
Liuli said: "That's right! β
Hu Jin glanced in the direction where the red sleeves were, and turned his head to Liuli: "Retire!" β
Ruri nodded and calmly walked in the direction of the banquet.
The "lifelong happiness" of the red sleeves depends on Hu Jin. Even if she had to face an unknown cruel attack from all sides because of the golden silk butterfly, before that, she had to take the red sleeve from Yu's side with her own hands.
Not many people at the banquet noticed Liuli's lateness, only Yan Hua habitually ridiculed her. And Liuli wouldn't be stupid enough to have a war of words with her on such a day.
Through the curtain, two tables were also set up in the outer hall, which were prepared for the old and young masters of the next dynasty, but in fact, He Qian was kept by the saint, the old lady was stumped by the official affairs of the household, He Tingyu also went to Xie Shangshu's mansion, and several young masters also ate in the school, so they were not actually full.
After the feast, because the old lady and the lady have the habit of taking a lunch break, they ate tea and dispersed.
Mama Li has never seen anyone, and Liuli doesn't expect her to wait, the so-called nine girls of Shangshu Mansion went back to the house alone.
Rui'er was still eating, and sat under the porch with a clay bowl. Liuli walked over to look at her bowl, a pinch of fried cabbage, a few slices of pickled tofu, and then half a bowl of brown rice, she frowned and said, "Today, the maids have added vegetables, why are you still eating this?" β
Rui'er stood up and said, "This is also good......
Liuli's brows deepened, and she entered the house without saying a word.
Rui'er then came in and said softly: "The girl doesn't have to worry about the slave maid, she can follow the girl, and the slave and maid are already content to eat." β
Ruri sighed and said, "You know what? Tonight, the red-sleeved women were all invited by Mrs. Qian to eat wine in the front yard, if my identity is stronger, you can also go. β
Rui'er hurriedly said: "The slave maid doesn't want to join in the fun with them, this kind of thing is not called a slave maid." β
Liuli was silent, bowed her head and groaned.
Rui'er didn't dare to disturb, went back outside and ate the brown rice, and then went back to the room to bring a scroll wrapped in silk cloth to the glass room.
Ruri took it and looked at it carefully, nodded and inserted it into the corner of the painting.
Rui'er didn't know the purpose of this scroll, and when she saw that she was satisfied, she also said happily: "When the shopkeeper of this 'Shangpin Study' saw this letter, he was taken aback and asked where it came from. β
