When she turned around and was about to pour water, Liuli suddenly remembered again: "That day, the old man said that he would send me a teacher to guide the grandmother, I guess I didn't mean to laugh, if you come, you will be more and more cautious when you come, don't let her grab the pigtails." ”

Unexpectedly, Rui'er was happy: "Really? The sons of every family are born with the teaching of the mother, and now the girl also has it, so it seems that the master still loves the girl very much! ”

The corners of Liuli's mouth twitched: "It was Madame who proposed to match, do you still think it's a good thing?" ”

Rui'er's smile immediately froze on her face.

The next day it was cloudy again.

At the end of the day, Liuli stood under the porch and watched Ju Guo'er roast sweet potatoes on the charcoal stove, Rui'er came over and said softly: "Lai Wu was beaten." Ruri turned her head and Rui'er pointed to the no-man's land next door. Liuli walked over, and Rui'er said: "I was beaten last night, I don't know who it was, so I dropped the words and asked him to separate from Feng Chun'er." This fool was also stubborn, he was stunned and refused, and his nose and face were swollen after being beaten. ”

Liuli hissed, secretly thinking that this Hu Jin is not unable to marry a wife, but for the sake of Feng Chun'er, he actually poisoned his husband to divorce. After finishing asking, "Then can he still come?" ”

"Yes!" Rui'er nodded heavily, "If you say something else, as soon as I heard that there is a way to keep his wife for him, his whole person will follow the devil, and he doesn't need to finish speaking, he agreed." ”

"That's good!" Liuli was very satisfied: "You go and prepare." ”

After saying that, he went back to the corridor.

The sweet potatoes are almost baked, and the warm aroma is very attractive. Ju Guo'er poked with a pair of copper chopsticks, and a small purple hole was immediately poked out of the potato body. Ruri asked, "Okay?" He hummed, took out the brass chopsticks, and rolled them on the ground a few times. Then wrap it in rags, wipe off the dust, and break it in half.

He took a section of the glass, and the glass would not peel the skin, and one fell to the ground without holding it steadily. He picked it up and said, "Why not?" So saying, he peeled off his skin and handed it to her, and then took the dirty piece to the well, washed it, and ate it.

At dinner, Liuli asked Cui Ying, "Where is Mama Wang's son and daughter-in-law over there?" ”

Cui Ying said: "The eldest son died of illness the year before last, the second son followed the third master, the younger son didn't study well, he was lazy to eat, and now he has nothing serious." He looked at Liuli again: "What is the girl asking for?" ”

Liuli sighed and wrote lightly: "I heard Ju Guo'er say today that he and his mother went back to the countryside a few days ago, so I asked." ”

"Is that stupid boy?" Cui Ying sneered, "His father is the boss of the Wang family, his mother is a soft son with a stuffy gourd nature, Boss Wang died, and Mrs. Wang relied on her daughter-in-law and forced her to jump into the well a few times." I guess if it weren't for this stupid boy, he would have died a long time ago! ”

Liuli didn't know that there was such a layer, but forcing her daughter-in-law to jump into the well really looked like Mama Wang could do it. There are few mothers-in-law who have been crawling in this kind of mansion all year round are fuel-efficient lamps.

After two sips of soup, Rui'er came in. "Girl, the Buddhist hall has been cleaned, and you can go over now."

Cui Ying said suspiciously: "What are you going to the Buddha Hall to do at this moment?" ”

Liuli stood up and put on a cloak, and Rui'er replied: "The girl has not slept peacefully in the past few days and nights, so she went to the Buddhist hall to chant the scriptures, and she was upright." ”

Cui Ying said: "Why don't you go during the day?" ”

Rui'er said: "I only went to ask the steward to get the lock and key during the day, and it was almost dark when I got it." ”

Cui Ying still kept looking at the glass. Liuli turned around and looked at her with a smile: "Why don't you go with me and let Rui'er stay." ”

Cui Ying was busy laughing: "There are still many things in the house, so it's good for Rui'er to go." ”

Rui'er packed up the stove and heater, accompanied Liuli out of the courtyard gate, and said in a low voice: "Cui Ying is arrogant in front of the slaves and maids, and she still can't be honest in front of the girl." ”

Liuli snorted: "Where is she really honest? Arrogance is also deliberate. ”

Rui'er was taken aback: "Deliberately? ”

Liuli said: "You'll know in the future." ”

Rui'er saw that she was selling Guanzi, and stopped making a noise in interest.

After a short time, when they arrived at the Buddha Hall, the one-eyed woman who watched the door opened the door, came up with a cup of tea and went out.

Liuli put incense on the pillar, knelt on the futon under the Buddha case, and carefully opened the scriptures. Rui'er also lit the stove very cooperatively and stood at the gate with her hands down. The mother-in-law on duty in the Buddha hall rolled the quilt at this time on weekdays, and today the nine girls wanted to chant the scriptures on a whim, so they had to wait in good spirits, looking at this side with their hands on their sleeves one by one, and their faces were full of resentment.

The yawn outside the door shook the sky, and Liuli didn't know where to go? At the end of the day, he stopped to drink tea and said to Rui'er: "It's cold and the night is cold, let them rest, don't wait." The mother-in-law immediately returned to their souls, grinned and thanked them, and in less than a moment, they had walked away cleanly.

Liuli said: "Let's take a look." Rui'er walked around the porch, and when she came back, she said, "It's all gone, only the mother-in-law who has a squint is dozing in the changing room." ”

The changing room is next to the west side hall, and Lai Wu will not alarm it when he comes in, so Liuli nodded and continued to chant the scriptures, and Rui'er still stood back under the door.

I don't know how long it took, Rui'er's face became solemn, she listened carefully to the movement outside the door, and after listening to it for a while, her expression became cheerful, and she said to Liuli with her lips: "It's here." ”

Liuli also heard the faint footsteps - there was frost on the ground, and even cats and dogs would move when they stepped on it, let alone people? But the sound of these footsteps is light and fine, how can it be a man?

She shook her head at Rui'er, still bowing her head and reading the Bible, very serious and pious.

The sound of footsteps did not move when it reached the door, and under the cover of the glazed sound, if you don't listen carefully, you can't really hear it. Rui'er looked out through the crack in the door and saw an emerald green water silk skirt. The skirt listened outside the door for a while, and then looked in through the crack in the door, and when she saw Liuli kneeling in front of the Buddha case with all her attention, she thought she was relieved, and turned around and retreated back the same way.

In the next half hour, there was silence everywhere, and even the squinting women who were napping in the side hall snored unscrupulously.

Rui'er walked up to Liuli, picked out the charcoal in the furnace for her, and said, "Girl, do you know who that person is?" ”

Liuli glanced at the missing moment, and said unexpectedly: "Who else will it be besides Cui Ying?" ”

Rui'er pursed her lips and smiled, and shook her head for a long time, "You can't even think about the girl this time!" As he spoke, he leaned into her ear and whispered a name. Ruri couldn't help but be taken aback, "She? ”

Rui'er was about to elaborate, when suddenly there was a sound outside the door, and compared to before, the sound of footsteps seemed much calmer. When he got to the door, the man stammered, "Yes, anyone?" ”

Rui'er glanced out through the crack in the door, turned her head and nodded at Liuli, then opened the door, "Come in." ”

Liuli raised her eyes, and saw a hunchbacked man coming in from outside the door, with a short figure, a scumbag beard, two hands on his sleeves, and a pair of figure-eight short eyebrows. There are also many swollen spots on the face, and the signs of being beaten are very obvious. When I came through the door to see Rui'er, the hunchback was hunched down more and more, trying to squeeze out a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

Rui'er closed the door, took him to the Buddha case, pointed to Liuli and said, "This is a girl." ”

Just as Liuli turned his head, Lai Wu glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he became more and more helpless, and hurriedly faced Rui'er: "Didn't you say that there is a way to help me keep my wife, how can you bring me here to meet the beautiful little girl?" No, no, the person in charge will kill me if he knows, I'm leaving! ”

Rui'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "What a beautiful little girl! This is the person who can help you, where are you going? ”

Lai Wu stopped, looked at her suspiciously, and looked at Liuli even more suspiciously.

Liuli only knew that Feng Chun'er did not abide by the way of women and disliked her husband, but she didn't know that Lai Wu had become this virtue, so she put the scriptures at the moment, sighed at the table, and turned her head to look at him after half a day: "Are you afraid that the steward will catch you?" ”

Lai Wu looked at her, but he didn't dare to look at her, he opened his hands a little sideways, and whispered: "If the steward wants to catch me secretly coming to see the girl, then my salary this month is gone, can, can you not be afraid?" ”

Liuli thought for a while and said, "Do you want to be with Feng Chun'er all the time?" ”

"Yes! Absolutely! As soon as he mentioned his wife, Lai Wu immediately came to his senses, and even his hunched back straightened a lot: "She is my wife, of course I want to be with her for the rest of my life!" ”

Liuli supported her cheeks with one hand, looking at the stupid man in front of her, although Feng Chun'er is not a national beauty, she is still Zhou Zheng and lovely, I don't know how to follow this Lai Wu? So he asked, "How did you marry her?" ”

Lai Wu frowned, as if he was displeased, but he didn't dare not answer: "Her mother took her to escape from the famine and came to our village, and it was my father and mother who took them in." Later, her mother was sick and had no money to buy medicine, so Chun'er begged me to lend her money and said that she was willing to marry me...... Later, her mother recovered from her illness and let us get married. ”

Liuli said: "It turns out that you are taking advantage of people's danger, if she doesn't say that she will marry you, you will definitely not lend money to her mother for treatment." ”

"Nonsense!" Lai Wu stared at a pair of round eyes: "Chun'er liked me before!" We love each other! She sang to me and sewed clothes for me, and she said she liked me as an honest person! Besides, even if she doesn't say marry me, I will treat her mother! ”

Liuli said: "You said she liked you before, so why don't you like it now?" ”

He choked on a word, and was speechless again. Liuli sighed, picked her fingernails and said to herself: "I don't think she likes you at all, no wonder she wants to break up with you." ”

"Who said she didn't like me! She, she didn't want to be nice to me because she bumped into my mother, and I hit her! He stared at Liuli up and down, and snorted: "I see that you can't help me at all, I don't know where I heard that Chun'er quarreled with me, and teased me in the middle of the night for nothing!" I'm not messing around with you anymore, I'm going back to watch the door! ”

Rui'er hurriedly grabbed him, and Liuli said, "How about I make a deal with you?" ”
