Chapter 25: The Gift

Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed happily and said, "Thank you Engong, don't say make one, it's ten or twenty pieces, Li Jiu has no complaints, but I don't know, what does Engong let Li Jiu do?" ”

I paced a few steps and said, "I only need to do one thing for now." As for what to do......"

Hooking his fingers, Li Jiu immediately came over with his ears, and after listening, he looked at me incredulously, "Engong, you're not joking, are you?" Li Jiu has already said that he wants to be a new person, why did Engong still let me ......"

I smiled slightly, "What, don't want to?" Didn't you just say that you want to respect me? ”

Li Jiu was silent, raised his head to look at me for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" Just listen to Engong, what Engong asked me to do makes sense! ”

I nodded, told him something else to do, and took out a silver ticket and gave him a silver ticket, "Do as I say, go ahead." ”

Li Jiu said yes, turned around to leave, turned back and asked, "Engong, Li Jiu still doesn't know the honorable name, how can I contact Engong after I finish this?" ”

"The name is just a title, so you can call me Mu Gongzi. As for contacting ......"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "In the next seven days, I will eat in the first restaurant in Pomegranate Lane in the West Market, and if there is something else, you can go there to find me." ”

"Yes. Li Jiu began to do it. He clenched his fists, turned and walked away. When he walked out of the alley, Luzhu came over and asked, "Miss, what are you asking him to do?" Also, if you give him money, aren't you afraid of drawing water with a bamboo basket? ”

I laughed.

One hundred taels, even if the bamboo basket fetches water, it doesn't matter. As for what I asked him to do......

Momiji is shy by nature and doesn't know how to turn, and although she says that some dignitaries have noticed her, it's still far from what I expected.

Since Li Jiu used to follow a group of gangsters, he should have a lot of so-called friends around him.

I asked him to re-contact his friends, and spread the word that there was a girl named Peony in the Red Mansion, who was enchanting and dancing. At the same time, by the way, there is also a red leaf, which only sings and does not show up.

People are always curious, and what they can see is exciting, but what they can't see makes people itch.

Knowing the enchanting peony, I am worried about the red leaves that I have never seen. The more I think about it, the more curious I become, and the redder the peony, the higher the mystery of the autumn leaves.

Throw plenty of dirt and some will be sure to stick.

Don't underestimate the people in the market, sometimes, they are the biggest promoters of spreading the news.

I also gave him some money, so that he could win over some reliable people, whether they were ordinary people or others, and if they could be used by me in the future, even if it was an ant, if it was worth it, it would gnaw the embankment into the earth.

"Green Bead, go home."

"Yes, miss." The green bead answered, and the two of us walked along the path to the general's mansion, and the strange thing was that when we arrived at the wall, the small door that should have been opened was actually closed. Green Bead stepped forward and shouted a few times, but no one responded at all.

"Miss, what should I do? The door was locked from the inside. "Luzhu is very nervous, the two of us have secretly come out these times, if they are discovered, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain.

I smiled slightly, "It's okay, let's go back through the gate." ”

"But, miss......"

"Listen to me, go!"

"Yes." Green Bead answered and followed me with a bitter face.

From the back door of the General's Mansion to the gate, it takes half a pillar of incense time, which has to pass by a vegetable market, which sells a lot of cheap fat powder and hairpins, so I asked the green beads to pick some hairpins that look gorgeous, but are the cheapest, and let her buy a few high-quality osmanthus cakes, and then go all the way back to the gate of the General's Mansion.

The housekeeper and the backyard maid Jinru were really waiting at the door.

Seeing me come back, the housekeeper ran over first and saluted, "Miss come back and pull." Then he whispered to me, "The master is not here, and I will have a dessert later." ”

I bowed my head slightly, thanking him for the reminder.

"Little Miss, the housewife is invited." Jin Ru saluted with a cold face, then turned to Lu Zhu and said, "You can come with you too." ”

"Yes." Lu Zhu responded to the next sound, looked at me uneasily, lowered his head, followed behind him with broken steps, and after a while, he arrived at the eldest lady's Tingxue Pavilion.

"Sister, you have to take care of this matter, how can our Miss Di of the General's Mansion show up at will. Now that the old general is not in the mansion, if the general is passed out at this time, others will think that my sister will ignore everything in the mansion, which will make people laugh! ”

In the distance, I heard the voice of the third lady, and her tone was very excited, as if I had just done something unreasonable.

However, Wu Wanhua was more calm, and said calmly, "Sister, don't be excited, I'll be here later, I need to ask the reason." ”

The third lady immediately said, "Oh, sister, what is the reason for asking, the maids in the house have said that they have changed their clothes and gone out, and it is not the first time they have gone out." If it weren't for the fact that Dump Liu went to her yard to find her to catch up with her today, I don't know how long it would have been hidden.

If you want me to see it, you should first go to the family law and set up rules for her! ”

Scold...... Reminiscence, she is embarrassed to say!

I have already walked to the door, Jinru pulled up the curtain, and I strode into the house, only to find that there were not only Wu Wanhua and the third lady in the house, but also the second lady and Su Tianyue.

That's interesting.

I smiled slightly, first saluted the main mother, and then put on a sweet smile and said, "Aunt the main mother, I don't know when to call the housewife?" Isn't it, didn't you stew a high-grade blood swallow to nourish your body? Auntie, you are so good to Dump Mu, just like your mother. ”

Wu Wanhua's eyebrows jumped faintly, covered her lips with a handkerchief, and coughed lightly, "I didn't stew blood swallows today, I called you over because I asked you something else." ”

She put down the veil and raised her voice slightly, "Dumping, aunt, and I'm asking you, did you leave the house without permission today?" ”

Isn't this nonsense, locked the back door, and sent Jinru and the housekeeper to wait at the door, can you still not know that I am out of the house?

I smiled sweetly and nodded, "Yes, auntie, Tian Mu is indeed out of the house." ”

As soon as the words fell, I obviously saw a smile in the eyes of the third lady, and the second lady's face was uncertain, but Su Tianyue picked the corner of her eyes.

Wu Wanhua seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and immediately said, "Dumping Mu, since you are a maid in the house, you naturally know the rules of the house, unless you ask for instructions, women are not allowed to go out easily, do you know?" ”

I nodded hurriedly, "Qingmu naturally knows." Then he motioned to Luzhu to take the package, opened it like a baby, took out the two most gorgeous hairpins inside, and said shyly, "Auntie, you are so good to Dump Mu, and Dump Mu doesn't know how to repay him."

August 11 is my aunt's birthday, and I was scheduled to practice etiquette in the Blue Pavilion at that time, and I couldn't come to celebrate my aunt's birthday, and my sister Dumpling Xue was also in the pavilion, so naturally I couldn't come back to accompany my aunt.

When he arrived at the Blue Pavilion, the master's first lesson was filial piety, loyalty and justice.

If the law is before loyalty, the law is regarded as loyalty. Filial piety is before the law, and filial piety is regarded as a ritual law. There is also an old saying that filial piety comes first, and there is no virtue without filial piety.

Although there were rules in the general's mansion for a long time, he still decided to take filial piety as a gift and bought a birthday gift for his aunt.

Ben was also going to give it to my aunt as soon as I came back, who knows, my aunt actually called me over first, that's right, aunt, look, is this hairpin good-looking? After picking it for a long time, I felt that this color was gorgeous, and it was very much called my aunt's white complexion. ”

As I spoke, I took out an emerald green "jade" hairpin and handed it over.

Wu Wanhua has a very white complexion and usually prefers green, but she likes dark green.

The one in my hand is verdant and verdant, and it is very cheap, I remember that it is three cents, or five cents, in short, it is not more than ten cents, and her worst jewelry does not know how many hundred levels are different.

I clearly saw the corners of her mouth trembling, but I still endured my temperament, took the hairpin and said, "You have this heart, my aunt is very happy, I can see that you are a filial child." ”

I immediately said innocently, "Auntie, you mean you like it?" ”

Wu Wanhua nodded reluctantly.

I immediately smiled and said, "Auntie, if you like it, you see, I also bought you your favorite osmanthus cake." By the way, there are a lot of jewelry. ”

As I spoke, I placed a pair of pink earrings, two peach-colored porcelain bracelets, and an orange ring made of unknown material on her hand. At the end, he also took out a box of cheap rouge that was very red......

"Enough!" The third lady finally couldn't stand it anymore, got up suddenly, and said angrily, "You are so young and so thoughtful. Do you think that you can fool the mistress with this cheap, and you can get away with it today! If you leave the house without permission, you will leave the house without permission, how can you still quibble! ”

I immediately turned my head, took a box of rouge and asked, "Third lady, in your eyes, are these things of mine rags?" ”

The third lady snorted, "Isn't it?" ”

What a stupid head, how did you forget how you suffered last time, why don't you have a long memory!

I snorted coldly, picked up the two packets of good pastries, and said, "Third lady, I bought that Qinghu pastry." His family's pastries are time-honored, with big crispy fillings, and everyone in this house knows that his aunt likes them the most. Now you say that I buy all the rags, what do you mean! ”

The third lady immediately said, "I'm not talking about this pastry, I'm talking about something else!" ”

I smiled, "Third lady, these are all things I bought for my aunt to celebrate her birthday, and my aunt just said that she likes it, and when you talk like this, do you mean that the things that my aunt likes are all rags?" ”

The third lady's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant, you don't have to be unbelievable!" ”

I nodded, "Okay, then let's not talk about you insulting my aunt in person, let's talk about something else."

Third lady, my aunt's birthday is in a few days, since you think my gift is in tatters, have you prepared a big expensive gift and want to give it to your aunt? ”

"That's nature." The third lady said.

I nodded, "The third lady really has a heart, but this bracelet, jewelry, and pastry have already been delivered." I heard that when the third lady got married, she brought a square brick and beautiful jade, and the white wall was flawless, I don't know, did Mrs. want to bring the jade to celebrate her aunt's birthday? ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Wanhua's eyes lit up, and the third lady's face suddenly changed......
