Chapter Twenty-Five: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

In the first thought hall, Lin Nuoya sat on the bed in a daze, still in the clouds, unable to slow down.

Quietly pushed open the door of the house, crept in, tidied up in front of him, closed the door and went out quietly, whispering to the bellflower at the door.

Thinking about things too much, Noah had a headache, so she lay down again, closed her eyes, and sorted out her thoughts. I can't figure out what Baili Jiu did.

It was only two tea times before the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Miss, Miss......" Kikyo gasped excitedly, "We have made a fortune." ”

Noah was taken aback by her and turned around: "What are you fussing about?" Ingots fell from the sky? ”

Kikyo excitedly had beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and his eyebrows danced: "We are rich!" Miss, the Ninth Master ordered someone to send a lot of rewards! Jewelry, silk and satin, precious medicinal herbs, and antique jade are all in abundance, and each of them is priceless! I heard from the man that there were sixty-eight in all. ”

"Oh?" Lin Nuoya, who was upset, became slightly interested and sat up: "Where?" ”

"Mrs. Ji collected all the rewards in the treasury, and she is taking the list to count them, and I will report to you in a while." Kikyo is still a little out of breath.

Hearing this, Noya hung his head and lay down again: "The rewards of this big family are all registered, like those antiques and jade, although they are precious, they are just decorations, they can't be exchanged for money, and they can't be taken out of the house, so what's the use?" ”

"Get out? Miss, do you still want to leave the house? The bellflower was in disbelief, and his eyes widened: "You already have the flesh and blood of the ninth master, and the ninth master loves you like this, and the future is bright!" ”

Noah felt that she really needed to explain it to Kikyo, otherwise, this stupid girl would be angry with herself.

She turned sideways, supported her forehead with her hand, beckoned to the little girl, motioned for her to sit down in front of her, and said earnestly:

"Kikyo, don't you think it's weird that I married into the General's Mansion?"

The bellflower bent his eyebrows, and covered his mouth with a smile of "eating": "I'll just say that the ninth master has never met you, how can he redeem himself for you so generously, and marry in a flamboyant manner, it's a little weird." It turns out that you have long been in love, the concubine is intentional, and the pearl fetus is secretly knotted and hidden from the world, and you have made such a play in front of the world. Now he is finally a hard-working person, and he will live up to his life and finally become a family. ”

Noah gave her a blank look, looking like an idiot.

The bellflower didn't care at all, and still chattered, with a face full of longing: "The ninth master is handsome and extraordinary, ashamed to kill Song Yu Pan An, Miss, you are also the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, and the baby will definitely be pink and tender in the future, especially cute." ”

Noya couldn't stay calm anymore, and looked at Kikyo fiercely: "I'll tell you, I never knew him, and I wasn't pregnant!" ”

Kikyo's eyes widened, and then he stood up with a "poof", reached out to touch her forehead, and said with great determination: "I know, Miss! It is said that if you are stupid for three years when you are pregnant, your amnesia must be caused by pregnancy! ”

Lin Nuoya was suddenly deflated, didn't bother to explain, and lay down on the bed in frustration, covering her head with a quilt: "Believe it or not." ”

The little girl didn't pay attention to her abnormality at all, on the contrary, she was a little complacent about her cleverness: "What kind of character was the young lady before, where is her home, can't you just ask the ninth master?" How could I be so stupid, I only remember now.

Wait for Miss you to find your relatives and have a backer, see who else looks down on people and bullies us. ”

Noya suddenly had a little headache, and she turned over impatiently: "Kikyo, don't you keep chattering like this, okay?" ”

"Hey, hey, good! I'm going to get a decoction for Miss. From today onwards, I will take care of your food. ”

Noah screamed in pain, and her head was about to explode.

As soon as the front foot of the bellflower left, Mrs. Ji came in with a square purple lacquer inlaid agate jewelry box, smiled at Noya, and saluted in a proper manner: "Aunt Qiyu, in this box is the head of the jewelry specially selected by the ninth master for you, and the list of objects rewarded today is in it, and the mother-in-law has counted them one by one, and confirmed that it is correct, please take a look." ”

Noya took it in his hand and opened the box, which was full of cheesy objects such as red gold or coral agate, and only a jasper orchid hairpin looked more elegant and eye-catching. However, the heads of those red gold inlaid gems can be exchanged for some silver taels.

She took out a codex in the box, opened it and glanced at it twice, then handed it to Ji Pozi casually: "I can't read, just read it to me." ”

Ji Pozi knew a few words, and when she heard the words, she was overjoyed, and she took the codex proudly, opened it, and read it out one by one, probably as the bellflower said, they are all jade antiques, cherish medicinal materials, and so on.

Noah narrowed her eyes, nonchalant.

When the mother-in-law finished reading, she did not return it to her: "After the aunt has seen it, the mother-in-law will go back and transcribe a copy, and hand it to your girl along with the jewelry, so that she can count it every day, and the mother-in-law will keep it." ”

Noya nodded casually: "This is very good, there can't be anything wrong with the object rewarded by the Ninth Master."

However, Granny Ji, I heard that the Ninth Master has rewarded a total of sixty-eight items. But in the new list of copies in your hand, there are only fifty-nine kinds of things registered, and there are nine fewer of them, only fifty of them.

I remember, it seems that the master rewarded me with ten pearls from the East China Sea and made pearl powder for me, where did I go? What went wrong? And where did the original list of the Nine Masters' rewards go? ”

Noah asked a series of questions, domineering.

Ji Pozi was stunned, but she didn't expect that the master in front of her seemed to be careless, and he was not a simple person.

She originally bullied Nuoya for being a newcomer, and she didn't have much power in the house, so she secretly withheld a few jade and medicinal materials, and re-transcribed the list and hid it. Later, I heard that Noah was illiterate, and her courage was a little fatter, so she simply picked up her rare objects again and hid them.

Unexpectedly, she took the opportunity to be greedy for ink jewelry and precious medicinal materials, and people knew it, but they just left her a little affection and didn't say anything.

The mother-in-law nervously glanced at Lin Nuoya, who was leaning on the bed with her back to the sky, squinting her eyes slightly, without the slightest anger, and couldn't figure out what her expression was.

"My mother-in-law is old, and she may be a little dizzy for a while. I'm going to go down and reorganize the inventory. ”

Lin Nuoya nodded: "You must bring this makeup box, and you may be able to use it." If you find it difficult, let the bellflower accompany you. ”

Mrs. Ji shook her head in a panic: "No, no, this is my mother-in-law's own business, how can I be embarrassed to trouble others." ”

"That's good," Nuoya took the opportunity to knock: "Although I don't have to do everything myself, I have to know a lot of things, otherwise one day the ninth master will ask and I won't know if I don't know."

In this way, you call the two of them to help you together, don't bow down to everything, and let them chat and watch the excitement. ”

Ji Pozi's forehead was already sweating, she took the jewelry box, and didn't dare to stay in front of Nuoya for a moment, so she panicked and went away.

She went out of the room in a disgraced manner, took out the objects she had embezzled, and then called the two of them to copy and count them again.

There is a way to kill chickens and monkeys, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and after gloating, he knows that his master is powerful, and he is no longer as lazy and lazy as before, and he has restrained a lot.

Noah lay alone in bed until it was dark, and dinner was brought early.

However, this time, it was not the girl who went to the kitchen to line up to get it, but the new kitchen steward personally sent it to Yinian Hall.

Although it is still in accordance with the regulations of the government, two meat and two vegetables, the dishes are very different from the previous two days. In particular, the green vegetable soup in the soup cup was replaced with wolfberry and codonopsis pigeon soup, the soup is milky white, decorated with wolfberries, and the green coriander is mouth-watering.

Noya drank wine at noon, just wanted to eat something light, picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of winter melon, the entrance is sweet, but the chewing is inside, it turns out that the inside is hollowed out and squeezed into the shrimp glue, soft and strong, teeth and cheeks fragrant.

After the steward sent the food, he was not in a hurry to leave, and stood aside with his head down: "Little Chen An can't wait to come over to ask his aunt for comfort and ask for cooking skills, but I'm afraid it will be too abrupt." Today, I had the courage to make two small dishes myself, and I hope that my aunt will give me advice. ”

Noya stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a bean sprout, and looked at the lamp, the bean sprout pinched the head and tail, hollowed out in the middle, and wore a crystal clear shark fin, which showed good intentions.

She turned her head to look at the steward, her eyebrows were unfamiliar, and she remembered that the previous steward must have been punished and dismissed. The newly appointed steward had a lesson from the past and took it as a warning, and Bailijiu suddenly raised himself like this, so he saw the wind and steered him, and came over to slap himself.

"Steward Chen's mind and craftsmanship are unique, and I can't reach them, so I don't dare to talk about teaching."

Steward Chen was praised and smiled more and more humbly: "The villain is a class with an axe, auntie, don't be modest." The villain is sincerely asking you for advice. If you want to teach a small craft in the future, write a list and let the girl send it to the kitchen, and I will draw the scoop according to the gourd, and make it for you to taste and give you guidance, you say it is feasible? ”

Noah naturally understands the steward's off-string sounds. According to the rules, her diet is all arranged by the kitchen, and to put it bluntly, it is just a little better than the standard of the housekeeper. She is not qualified to order food alone, unless she makes up the silver taels.

The steward cleverly borrowed the excuse of a teacher, and when he wanted to eat whatever he wanted in the future, he wrote a list and handed it over, and did it in the kitchen. And with the skill of the steward, who secretly crosses Chen Cang, no one can say anything.

Noya comprehended, nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Steward Chen." ”

Seeing that the words had been brought, the steward sang politely: "Then don't disturb your aunt's meal and retire." ”
