Chapter 20 The Courtyard is Full of Rats and Ants
As soon as the words fell, a girl strode in from outside the door.
She was wearing a small peach-colored jacket with an ankle-length goose-yellow brocade skirt.
"Shopkeeper, I like that green magnolia skirt, wrap it for me." She looked up proudly, and her little white hand pointed to the side.
The shopkeeper said apologetically, "I'm sorry for this young lady, this green Luo skirt is a unique product, this little boy has already bought it one step ahead of you, there are other styles in the shop, Miss should take a look at something else." ”
I was standing behind the door, and she rushed in through the door, naturally not seeing me. At this time, when I listened to the shopkeeper, I saw me sideways.
I wanted to nod kindly, but who knows, she looked me up and down, but snorted.
"Hmph, it's not the only Miss Ben who doesn't want it. What if he asks for it? Shopkeeper, let me ask you, has he paid for this Luo skirt? ”
The shopkeeper of the "......" was slightly embarrassed, and said truthfully, "Back to this young lady, this little boy has indeed not paid yet, but he has already ......"
"What is it that you haven't paid for? Shopkeeper, I'm paying now, this dress is mine. Bamboo, pay. ”
"Yes!" The little maid next to her answered, took out a silver ingot full of fifty taels from the money bag, and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.
"This ......" The shopkeeper looked at the silver in his hand, looked at me again, and said with a look of embarrassment, "This little boy, I think this little girl really likes this green Luo skirt, or else." There are still a batch of gauze skirts in the store that are not displayed. This dress, little boy, you will give it to this young lady, let's go into the inner room, and choose one else, what do you think? ”
"This ......"
"Of course not!" Before I could speak, the green bead on the side was unhappy, and took a step forward and said, "Boss, this skirt is what we like first, you can't give things to others because they have forced money." Boss, you should sell us this dress!. ”
At this time, a little girl had already wrapped the skirt and sent it to the shopkeeper. He looked at me with the paper bag, and then at her, with a tangled expression.
"Hmph, it's really a lot of strange things. Anyone would dare to come and grab something from Miss Ben. Bamboo, no need to talk nonsense, take things away from people! ”
"Yes!" The maid replied crisply, and when she stepped forward, she was going to pull the paper bag from the shopkeeper's hand.
Luzhu was really anxious this time, and hurriedly went over and grabbed the paper bag, "Hey, why are you like this, you still have to grab it, it's unreasonable!" ”
"Reasonable, huh? All right! The woman smiled contemptuously, "Then you can put on the skirt, and if you can wear it, Miss Ben will give it to you, how about it?" ”
"You!" Green Zhu's face turned red all of a sudden.
Let's not talk about how many years older than me in Luzhu, I can't wear this dress at all, and I'm a little thinner and can't hold up the skirt, but the two of us are wearing men's clothes at this time, how to try on women's skirts?
This woman is so embarrassing!
I'm also a little upset. Originally, I just wanted to buy myself a birthday gift, but I couldn't wear it when I bought it. If she spoke well, she would have given it to her, so arrogant......
Hmph, don't let it!
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Luzhu naturally had a backbone, and stepped forward to snatch the skirt. The maid named Bamboo didn't suffer either, and immediately snatched it back.
The two of them were pulling one by one, and the girl and I were also looking at each other silently, and the shopkeeper looked left and right, and I didn't know what to say, and I was very embarrassed for a while.
"Sister, let's give them this skirt."
With a whisper, another woman came in from the door, this person was slim, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she was still an acquaintance.
The woman glanced at me, nodded slightly, and then said to the girl, "Little sister, let's give them this skirt."
You've got a lot of dresses, not more of this one, not less of this one. I see a lot of dresses in this store, and that one, the violet flower dress is good, so let's take a look at that one. ”
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Yes, yes, other styles are also good-looking." ”
"Hmph, no! That's what I want. The girl glared at me, very defiantly.
The woman said again, "I came from the Linlang Courtyard next to me just now, and I saw that his house also has a lot of new yarn brocade, so let's go up there and have a look." ”
The shopkeeper echoed again, "Yes, yes, he has many styles of yarn brocade." ”
The girl was irritable for a while, turned her head and said, "Shut up, you give me a side!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly took a few steps back, not daring to step forward from a distance.
The woman sighed and smiled at me apologetically, "Please don't be surprised, my little sister has a rough temper, if there is a verbal conflict, I hope Haihan." ”
After speaking, she walked over, gently picked up the skirt from the bamboo hand, smoothed the wrinkles on the paper bag, and then went to the shopkeeper, retrieved the green bead money, and put it on the paper bag.
He walked over and said, "I'll buy this dress." But since you like it so much, we will give you this skirt, as a compensation for the abruptness just now, let's make friends, don't you think? ”
"Oh, Sister Rong'er!" The girl looked unhappy, but Liu Rong'er just glanced at her lightly, she didn't dare to speak, snorted lightly, and stood aside with a pout.
I looked at Liu Rong'er, she was holding her clothes, there was no strange look in her eyebrows, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and between her delicate eyebrows and eyes, there was a feeling of spring breeze.
I laughed.
Stretched out his hand to take back the silver tael, handed it to the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, I suddenly feel that the purple dress is more beautiful, I want that purple, this one, let it be given to this young lady." ”
"Okay, well, wrap up the little boy immediately." The shopkeeper is a big head, as soon as he saw a turnaround, he immediately agreed, and quickly took the clothes and wrapped them, and the speed, for fear that I would regret it if it was half a minute slower.
"Thank you." Liu Rong'er bowed.
I smiled slightly, said goodbye, and stepped out with the green beads.
"Miss, since you like that dress, people have said to give it to you, why don't you want it."
After walking far away, Green Bead muttered a little unevenly.
I smiled slightly.
A Luo skirt can't be worn, even if it can be worn, it will only be worn for a year at most.
Wear a skirt that I like for a year, and make a friend, I choose the latter.
This Liu Rong'er is still very interesting.
I was silent all the way, and soon arrived at the General's Mansion. The new maid Qingteng was waiting at the door of the small door, and when she saw me coming back, she hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss, it's not good, come in and take a look, something happened." ”
I hurried back to the courtyard, and before I entered the courtyard, I heard the new mother-in-law scolding in pieces, "Which one has suffered a thousand cuts, how many beasts!" ”
When I walked a few steps into the yard, I was also shocked.
The ground was full of rats, ants and miscellaneous insects, densely packed, and they all covered the ground of the courtyard.
I was naturally disgusted with these things, and when I looked at them closely, my stomach turned over and I almost threw up.
"When did you get so much stuff together?" I asked.
Qingteng said, "Just after the time, I saw one or two mice, at first I thought it was because the food was not put away, and then more and more gathered. Miss, you went out through the back door, you are not there, and we don't dare to be too quiet, so we want to wait for you to come back, who knows that these things will become more and more, and it will become like this. ”
It's really strange, for no reason, how can there be so many rats and bugs?
"Has anyone been here today?"
"Back to Miss Hui, no one has been here today."
"What about the days I've been away? What's so unusual? ”
"Back to Miss Hui, there has never been anything unusual."
I nodded, "Go and tell the butler to call someone to come and clean up, don't be too quiet, if anyone asks how they can gather so many things, you can go back to me and sprinkle honey in the yard in the morning, and if you ask anything else, you will say you don't know." ”
"Yes." Qing Teng answered, turned around and ran to the front yard. After a while, the butler came over with the housekeeper and the iron chisel.
They first boiled a few buckets of hot water, poured them all into the courtyard, scalded a lot of rats and insects, and then took away the corpses of bookworms and scalded them in boiling water.
Finally, I used a cauldron to burn the medicine to repel insects and rats, and dusted it up, back and forth, and waited until the yard was cleaned up, and it was almost hai.
After thanking the housekeeper, Luzhu came over to wash up, and I saw that she was also tired, so I told her to go back to sleep after washing.
I sat in front of the window, but I couldn't sleep.
Who the hell is getting this stuff to scare me? This person is really, and it is really boring to come up with this method!
I felt a little uncomfortable because I had seen too many insects and mice, and I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I just sat on the chair and drank tea without a sip.
Drinking and drinking, I was hungry before I could make a living.
It's really strange, the hungrier I get, the more I want to eat, and I seem to smell the roast leg of lamb......
"Ha......" There was a chuckle behind me, and I turned my head sharply, and at some point, there was a person standing behind me.
I exclaimed, "Why did you come into my room again!" ”
He curled his lips and smiled, "You girl, why is your temper so bad." As soon as you see me, you scream, I enter your room, can you still eat it? ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and drank until "Get out!" ”
He wasn't angry, he just hugged his shoulders and asked, "Are you sure to let me out?" ”
Before I could answer, he said to himself, "Okay, then I'll go out, and when I come, I see a few little night cats outside, and I'll eat half of this leg of lamb and feed it to the cat." ”
After that, he opened the paper bag in his hand, sniffed it gently, and immediately nodded and praised, "Hmm! Fragrant! It is worthy of being a suckling lamb, and the taste of roasting is different! ”
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
The stomach ringed disobediently.
I was a little embarrassed, but he had a curved lip and a pair of peach blossom eyes with endless smiles. Then I suddenly approached, and I felt my sleeve being pulled, and the next moment, the man was standing on the roof......
"Hey! Why do you drag me to the roof every time without my permission! I glared at him.
He smiled slightly, "Because I like to look at the moon." ”
After saying that, he took me a few jumps and left the general's mansion.
