Chapter 5: The life of the young master who was born as a girl
The girl scolded me with a slap on her head and face: "You...... Your day thunders and slashes you! ”
As soon as I heard these cruel words, I felt aggrieved in my heart, and hurriedly argued: "You girl, what a bad thing you say!" I really didn't have a heart, I just shouted, but no one answered me! ”
The girl covered her eyes, pointed to the barrel and said, "These are today's leftovers, you waste food!" My mother said that anyone who spoils food will be thundered by God! ”
I hurriedly looked down, only to find that there was rice in the wooden barrel, it turned out that it was all leftover food in the room, and my hot urine just now, but not a drop was added to it, I suddenly felt full of guilt, scratched the back of my head and smiled bitterly: "I really don't have a heart." ”
She didn't seem to be angry anymore, and asked me, "Are you wearing your pants?" ”
I quickly fastened my belt, "Alright, alright!" Open your eyes. ”
The girl slowly removed her hand, first stunned, and looked me up and down for a moment, "Are you...... Young Master Fusheng? ”
I was also confused when I heard this, and looked at the girl left and right carefully, "Are you ...... Miss Alain? ”
The girl smiled shyly, put her hands behind her back and nodded, her face still childish.
Seeing her delicate appearance, I also smiled.
Looks like I guessed right!
When I left home last year, this girl was only as tall as my waist, but I didn't expect to see her for a year, but it was enough for my shoulders!
It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, this girl has grown really fast, not only is she taller, but she is also getting more and more smart, and the reason why I recognize her is because she is no one else, it is Aunt Han's only daughter.
Her name was Shi Lan, she was about thirteen years old, and she spent her days in the Catholic church, five miles away from my house, and when I first saw her, she was still a little girl, holding a large broom two heads taller than her, and she was struggling to clean the nursery under the shouting of Sister Bai Dezhen.
The chores in this group of rooms are not easy at all, dozens of people's chopsticks, a large family of firewood, on weekdays are done by Aunt Han, this little girl is more than a liner to do some bits and pieces, and I don't know how I only saw her alone today, I think it's very strange, so I asked: "There are a lot of chores here!" Can you afford it, little girl? Why didn't you see your mother? ”
Alan wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Sister Bai went to Tingzhou last month, and there is no other person in the nursery, my mother has to stay to take care of the children, but there are a lot of chores in the back kitchen, and I have to collect leftovers every day, so I will come here to help for my mother." ”
As soon as I talked about Aunt Han, I couldn't help but touch the ink jade on my neck, remembering that she helped me exorcise evil spirits three times and twice, and now I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and I don't know what the situation is doing, so I opened my mouth and asked, "Is your mother okay?" ”
Alan nodded and said, "Thank you young master for your concern, my mother is very good, it's just ......"
The girl stopped talking halfway through, and when I heard it, I thought something had happened to Aunt Han, so I hurriedly asked, "What is it?" Did something happen to your mother? Say it! ”
I was in a hurry, but she pointed to the barrel and said, "It's a pity that these meals are here!" Add some water to make a pot of porridge, enough for the children in the church to eat for two days! ”
When I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, waved my hand and said, "Hey! I thought you were talking about something! I'll ask the cook to cook another pot for you later! ”
Alan frowned when he heard this, "If you can't do it, you can't do it!" How does this work? ”
I thought the girl wanted money, so I said, "If you want trouble with the food, I'll give you a piece of the ocean, okay?" ”
Alain became even more anxious when he heard this, "No way, no way!" This is even more impossible! My mother said that we have received the great favor of the Lu family, and we are willing to work in the Lu Mansion, and we can't take a penny! Just some leftovers. ”
"But you don't want fresh food or money right now," I asked her with a smile, "and what do you want?" ”
Alan thought for a while, and folded the corners of his clothes in a cute manner, "Tomorrow is your birthday banquet for the young master, there is no leftover food today, there should always be tomorrow, the slave and maid don't dare to worry about the young master, the slave and maid just clean up by themselves." ”
I gave her a blank look: "Really, what do you want me to say about you?" I've never seen a girl as sincere as you in the house! ”
Alain smiled shyly, then stunned, and suddenly stomped his feet and said, "Oops! I talked to you, young master, and I didn't wash the dishes! The firewood was not chopped either! When I went back late, my mother was going to scold me again. Then he turned around and went to work.
As soon as I heard this, I had an idea, and hurriedly called out to her: "Wait! ”
She immediately stopped and looked at me in a daze.
I said, "I've ruined your food, and I'm going to have to make it up to you, don't you think that's good?" You go wash the dishes, and I'll chop the firewood for you. ”
Alain said, "How can that be done! Young master, you are expensive! ”
"Okay, stop talking nonsense," I asked, opening my mouth, "where is all that firewood?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Alain reluctantly turned to the back of the wall, stretched out his finger and pointed to the back, I followed over to take a look, and suddenly gasped!
I saw a mountain of wood piled up in front of me, and I was dumbfounded, "So many! ”
Alan also took out an axe out of nowhere and quickly stuffed it into my hand, "Young master, give you an axe!" ”
This little girl's eyes are staring at me, her face is innocent and harmless, but I secretly complain, auntie, you are a heart, right?
But in the current situation, it was too late for me to run, so I had to bite the bullet: "Okay! Master Ben helps you! ”
I took the axe, raised it in my hand, and with a "poof" sound, I slashed a piece of wood in front of me in half.
????? One scene after another on the stage in the front yard! I could faintly hear the sound of gongs and drums, but now I had to chop wood......
I vaguely heard bursts of cheers again, and I couldn't help but think that Li Xiaohua was here, this dead monk must be eating watermelon, cold watermelon, he has gnawed piece after piece, but now he has to chop wood......
Whoa...... That's the sound of pouring peanut shells, right? Oh my mom, the roasted peanuts in front of the rock are sweet and crispy, and the stinky monk must be eating happily! But now I have to chop wood......
It wasn't until the end of the song that the stage in the front yard was empty, and I staggered down the cloister with my waist crossed, my legs shaking like noodles.
That night, I was lying on the bed, my whole body was sore, and Li Xiaohua was turning around me, tossing my limbs neatly, "How is it?" Look at Hua Ye's kung fu! What do you think! ”
I glanced at him, his eyes were blank, but he looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, "That Malayan said this is a horse killing a chicken!" Hua Ye, my first time I can be relieved! Immediately humbly seek advice, and now it is time to show your skills! ”
I gritted my teeth in pain, my facial features were about to be deformed, and I hummed and chirped for a long time.
Li Xiaohua muttered while pressing me: "But it's weird!" You said that you went out to pee, and when you came back, you actually had cramps! I wondered, how earth-shattering you must have been when you said you soaked in pee! ”
My face shuddered.
"Ahem! It's hard to put it into words......"
That night, the monk didn't bother to go back to his room, so he stayed on my bed and squeezed me all night.
Not to mention, this stinky monk is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, snoring in the first half of the night, and farting in the second half of the night, tossing me all night, and the next morning I saw my mother happily come to my room, Xiaoxiu on the side held a red paint tray, smiling like a flower.
Without saying a word, my mother lifted the red cloth on the lacquer plate, took out an object and hung it around my neck.
At that time, I was sleeping in a daze, and my mother pulled me up and caused her to toss.
After I rubbed my eyes, I saw clearly that there was a pure gold longevity lock hanging around my neck, which was really big, and it was estimated that it was one or two heavy, and Li Xiaohua next to me also woke up, staring at my chest with a pair of eyes, and the quilt was about to fall off.
I looked at his appearance in the eyes of the money, and opened my mouth to say, "Don't look at it! You'll give it to you if you want it! Don't look greedy, so that outsiders will think you have a crush on me when they see it! ”
After listening to my words, Li Xiaohua stretched out her hands straight, and immediately grabbed the longevity lock around my neck, and she didn't let go of her life.
I was almost out of breath by him, and hurriedly struggled and said, "Wait a minute, you let go first!" You've got to promise me one thing first! ”
"Anything goes! You mean what you say! Li Xiaohua grabbed the golden lock, and the devil was stunned.
"You can't take this thing for granted, you answer me first." I was entangled with this stinky monk, and the quilt on the bed was about to twist into twists.
My mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she stretched out her hand and slapped each of us on the buttocks, "What are you fighting for!" You brothers have both! ”
After that, she turned her head and took out another longevity lock from the lacquer plate, pulled Li Xiaohua over, and hung him around his neck without saying a word.
To say that my mother really has a heart, these two pairs of gold locks are exactly the same, and the weight seems to be the same.
Li Xiaohua held the golden lock, looked at me, and then looked at my mother, with tears in her eyes.
"Auntie! You won't be my aunt from now on! ”
When my mother heard this, she gave him a blank look, "You kid can't speak!" I'm not your aunt, who is your aunt? ”
Li Xiaohua burst into tears and said: "You are not my aunt, you will be my mother from now on!" ”
After that, the monk got out of bed and wanted to kowtow to my mother.
My mother was laughing while stopping.
"You kid, you are really sincere in your heart, and your mouth is sweet, which makes people hurt......"
When I saw the monk's expression, I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue.
Just pretend! Li Xiaohua! Stinky monk! I don't bother to pay attention to you!
I touched my chest, my face was happy, but my heart was more distressed.
It turns out that I have always had that square black jade hanging around my neck, and now I have added a gold lock of one or two weights, to be honest, it is really awkward! I was not comfortable swinging left and right, so I wanted to take off the golden lock, and my mother saw it and quickly said, "Little ancestor! This longevity golden lock can't be removed, the masters of Lingdong Mountain said that if you pick it, you will lose your life! ”
I yelled at my mother, "I still have this piece of jade hanging around my neck, and it's really awkward to add a gold lock." ”
My mother picked up the piece of black jade and took a closer look and said, "What a thing is this!" The condition is poor, so don't hurry up and change it! ”
After that, she was about to take it off for me, and then I suddenly remembered what Aunt Han told me.
A year ago, when I was still in the pigsty and had just regained my senses, Aunt Han pressed the ink jade on my chest and said to me, "You must remember that from now on, you must never take off this ink jade, you must be inseparable, it will keep you safe......
Thinking of this, I hurriedly held down Moyu and yelled at my mother: "Okay, okay, can't I pick it up?" ”
"That's good! You're really, a kid, you love to toss! My mother picked up another tray, "There are two more clothes here, you can get up and put them on and see if it fits." ”
"There's a lot going on in the front yard, so do your own business!"
My mother put the tray on my tea table, led Xiaoxiu and left.
I listened to the faint lively sound in the courtyard, and hurriedly beckoned Li Xiaohua to dress together, my mother was really careful, and made this new dress for me and Xiaohua, it really fits. However, when I was dressing, I still thought that the gold lock was hanging awkwardly, and while my mother was away, I took off the gold lock and threw it in the drawer.
I don't know what's wrong, but I unconsciously chose to believe Aunt Han in my heart, so even though the black jade was in extremely poor condition, I still took it out.
Li Xiaohua, a bald monk, was left with a string of Buddhist beads, and hung a big gold lock, wearing new clothes, five people and six people, and every person was there to show off, saying that the monk hung a gold lock and lived to ninety-nine!
Phew! Stinky monks will talk nonsense! looks nondescript, so that your master Fa Ji has seen it, and Zhun Bao will let you kneel in the Buddha hall, and you can't eat and walk around!
But then again, he's also my brother, and his birth date is exactly the same, so I can't be careful, right? It's all up to him, he's good and I'm good!
This day started at noon, the guests of the Lu Mansion were endless, and the flowing water table was table after table, except for my father who led me to give a gift to the important guests, Li Xiaohua and I were eating and drinking nonsense for a while, and we were crazy for a whole day.
Early the next morning, I took Li Xiaohua to Ningxiang Xiaozhu, but Sister Bijun was not at home, I listened to the housekeeper Wu Bo said, saying that Sister Bijun was still in charge of the Yao family's wine store in Chaozhou, and I didn't want to ask much, but I hadn't seen each other for almost a year, strange thoughts, now it seems that it is going to be delayed again, I think of it is a burst of chagrin in my heart, but there is no way, so I have to go home with Li Xiaohua and continue to eat and drink.
Lying in bed at night, I counted with my fingers, remembering that tomorrow would be September 22, and I couldn't help but sigh, I didn't expect that the three-day holiday would come to an end in a blink of an eye, and the words of the second uncle still seem to be echoing in my ears today.
"On September 22, our caravan is about to leave for Huichang, you must rush back before noon, I won't spare you if you don't come back!"
As soon as I thought of my second uncle's words, I could immediately think of his black face and the iron fan on his waist, and my body couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, before going to bed, I had already instructed Tian Shou to remember to call me early tomorrow morning, so I fell asleep peacefully.
I didn't expect that I had something in my heart, and I didn't delay any effort, and I woke up naturally when I arrived the next day, and the sky was bright up early in the morning, and I washed up and took the bag to the front yard, and was thinking about whether to say goodbye to my mother, but I actually ran into a plague god.
This plague god's name is Zhong Guangyao, and he is the dogleg of He Pengling, the commander of the Dongliu People's League.
Dongliu Township Beitong Jiangxi and Jiangnan go to Guangdong, since ancient times there are four markets and hundreds of stores, it is a transit place for caravans to stop and rest, and the same is true of my family's Rentai Commercial Bank, half of the year stays in Dongliu.
Although my family is wealthy, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and the head snake in the east is the He family where He Pengling is located.
He Pengling is the fourth in the He family, there are more than 20 children under his hands, and there are more than 100 guns.
I saw the housekeeper Lan Youquan come out of the front hall, bowed his head all the way and sent Zhong Guangyao out of the house with a smile, and then I saw him turn back, and when I saw that no one was around, he counted a few silver dollars in his hand by the door, with a smile on his face, I don't need to guess to know that this old bastard didn't hold back any good fart, he must be greedy for money inside and out.
Fortunately, my family has a thick foundation, and I don't care about how many dollars these kittens and puppies are greedy, but I had a lot of fun for a while, tiptoed over the cat, hid behind Lan You's body, and jumped out and screamed while he wasn't paying attention.
"Where are the thieves!"
Lan Youquan was so frightened that his hands shook, and a few silver dollars fell out at once, and the whole person immediately collapsed to the ground, almost without holding his head, I saw his cowardly appearance, and immediately laughed crookedly, "Uncle Quan, you are too bold!" ”
Lan Youquan came back to his senses and realized that it was me, touched his chest and gasped, "Can you stop being scary?" Your uncle, I have nine lives, and I was scared away by you! ”
He hurriedly picked up the silver dollar on the ground, looked up at me, turned around and wanted to leave, but I stretched out my hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Alas, Uncle Quan, don't be in a hurry to leave!" ”
Lan Youquan said with a bitter face: "Young master! You have a lot of things to do with my uncle, huh? This family is still eating! Don't stop me! ”
I whispered, "I saw Zhong Guangyao just now!" Why did this dog-legged come to our house early in the morning? ”
"What else can you do?" Lan Youquan looked impatient, "I want money!" ”
"Money?" When I heard this, I wondered, "What kind of money?" ”
Lan Youquan looked left and right for a moment, and saw that no one pulled me aside: "Zhong Guangyao said that there has been a lot of trouble outside the city in the past few days, and the road to Shijingling has been blocked by the Dongliu People's League!" It won't be accessible for a while! The old man was afraid that the goods would not be transported, so he hurried to find him to dredge up. ”
"What!" I was dumbfounded when I heard this, it turned out that I was busy early in the morning and seemed to be blind!
If the road to Shijingling is blocked, the matter of returning to Dongliu as soon as possible will be in vain!
If I can't go back to Dongliu at noon today, I will be beaten when I see my second uncle in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up to this waist!
"No, no!" I shook my head and said, "I promised my second uncle today, and I want to rush back to Dongliu before noon, how can I not believe what I say?" ”
Lan Youquan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I said, young master, I have heard guns in and outside the city these days, and you have to go out early in the morning, isn't this to cause trouble!" It's not good to let the old lady see it! If the lord sees it, he will punish me! ”
I was angry and anxious, and casually responded, "My father? I don't care about him! He can't control me! I'm going back to Dongliu today! ”
"You're a bad boy! I can't take care of you anymore! There was an angry shout at the gate, and I hurriedly looked back, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
I saw my father standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking not angry and arrogant!
Lan Youquan hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "Master." ”
"Hmm." My dad nodded, then turned to stare at me again.
I lowered my head and stuck out my tongue, secretly crying out in my heart: Good girl, I am really the life of a young master! Think what you don't! Come whatever you're afraid of!
