Chapter 104 falls

The car was crowded, and a girl was stuffed into the small compartment. Coupled with a wide and fat mother-in-law, the smell of fat powder in the air and the smell of sweat were intertwined, mixed into a disgusting taste, Xiaoju tried her best to shrink her body towards the corner, her face was stunned, and she looked scared and stupid.

The car turned around, and after a long time, it stopped, and every time it stopped, the mother-in-law dragged a girl from the car, so five times, only Xiaoju was left in the car, she was frightened, knowing that those girls must have been sold, this thief is so cunning, those girls must have been afraid when they first arrived in a new place, if they were two together, they would not be too afraid, so they were all separated. It's much easier to control.

The carriage finally stopped in Xiaoju's fear, it was the time of the New Year's Festival, but there was no sound outside, the woman came closely, untied Xiaoju's cloth, and said viciously: "If you are smart enough, don't shout." Seeing Xiaoju nodded, Fang took her out of the carriage, and saw that it was dark outside, and there was a person carrying a lantern not far away, but he couldn't distinguish between men and women.

She stretched out a pair of fat hands, grabbed Xiaoju's arm fiercely, cursed in her mouth and dragged forward, Xiaoju staggered and followed her footsteps, walked for a while, and arrived at the person carrying the lantern, but there was a corner door, and the person stood by the door, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a woman in her thirties.

Seeing the two of them coming, the woman lifted the lantern and took a picture of Xiaoju's face, and said with satisfaction: "This time it's a good product." As he spoke, he took out some loose silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it into the hands of the mother-in-law who was laughing with her big teeth on the side.

The woman didn't care about the money-greedy mother-in-law, and stretched out her hand to lead Xiaoju. Her hands were warm and greasy, as if she had never done rough work, Xiaoju watched coldly, knowing that she had no malicious intent, let her lead, the two entered the corner door, walked a few steps, the woman sighed, turned around and raised the lantern, and looked at Xiaoju from beginning to end.

"Seeing that you are not in a hurry or slow, your feet are not exposed at all, and your hands are smooth and calloused, could it be that you are a young lady from a big family?" The woman stared at Xiaoju's face with three points of temptation as she spoke.

Xiao Ju lowered her head slightly, learned enough to be a little maid who served her on weekdays, and replied eloquently: "The slave maid is the personal maid of the young lady of the grandson of the big family in the east of the city, so she has never done rough work, and the lady asked me to do painting on weekdays." ”

When the woman saw that her eyes were clear and did not look like she was lying, she took her hand with satisfaction, and said very kindly, "I am the boss here." It's good if you call me Aunt Liu, since you're here, it's better to change your name, it's better to call it Xiaomei in the future, and if you do things well, Aunt Liu won't treat you badly. ”

Xiaoju responded in a low voice, and went to take the lantern in Liu Niang's hand very naturally, Liu Niang was very satisfied, took her hand, and said with a pleasant face: "You do some chores first, learn how your sisters do it, and then open your face after a while." ”

Xiao Ju's heart twitched, and her face became more and more deferential, but she made up her mind, no matter what, she would hold on for a while first, and her sisters would definitely come to look for her.

That night, Xiaoju was lying on the wooden bed tossing and turning, the thin wooden plank spliced under the back hurt, and the quilt on the body was thin with only a layer of cloth, the cold air was blowing on the face, and the cold person shivered, is this to give her a dismount? It seems that I still don't feel at ease.

Xiaoju resolutely lifted the quilt and got out of bed, ran back and forth on the ground, until she sweated, then returned to bed, and after a while, she fell asleep.

The next morning, she woke up from freezing, and she hurried to get up. Carrying the basin to the door, I happened to meet Liu Niang, Liu Niang saw that she was diligent, and she was very satisfied, and ordered: "You sweep the courtyard, and when you are done, you will clean the hall, and your sisters will not have to worry about it." ”

Xiaoju responded without humility, but she didn't know that her appearance was like a cash cow in Liu Niang's eyes, Liu Niang's heart was overjoyed, and she couldn't bear to let her do rough work, thinking that it was better to ask her to say it early in the morning, and her words became more and more amiable: "You better go and rest, and come out at night to help greet guests." ”

Xiaoju clenched her hands into fists, gritted her teeth, and returned to the room, she finally couldn't help crying, why didn't the sisters come, woo.

At noon, someone called her to eat, but it was just a bowl of brown rice and a steamed bun, and after she ate two bites, her throat was grinding and painful, and she forced herself to swallow it little by little. In the end, they all ate it all.

At night, she deliberately put down a lot of hair, covering half of her face, the outside was already brightly lit, Liu Niang called someone to look for her, saw her like this, and didn't say much, just asked her to help serve tea and pour water.

Xiaoju lowered her head, carried the teapot, and only looked out through the gap between her hair with the corner of her eye, and saw that the hall was full of friends. There is a stage in the room, a woman dressed in colorful clothes, playing the pipa, there are several other women around wearing red and green, long sleeves fluttering, dancing is very good-looking, the hall rings from time to time to applaud.

She carefully moved from guest to guest, and when she saw that someone's cup was empty, she immediately went to fill it, not giving the slightest chance to pay attention to herself.

Liu Niang ushered in the send-off, eight sides exquisite, can take care of every guest thoughtfully, Xiao Ju carefully paid attention to the silver received by Liu Niang, couldn't help but be a little confused, after she observed for a night, came to an astonishing conclusion, Xin Dengshi had a plan.

Around the fourth watch, the guests who did not stay overnight had already left, and the overnight guests had also gone upstairs, Liu Niang was still in good spirits, she quickly commanded Xiao Ju and a few mothers to clean the hall, Xiao Ju held a rag in her hand, wiped the table and chairs according to Liu Niang's instructions, but moved towards Liu Niang, and when she got to Liu Niang's side, Xiao Ju asked in a low voice: "Aunt Liu doesn't know how to settle accounts?" ”

Liu Niang was startled, dragged Xiaoju to the corner, and said in a fierce voice: "Which one has a broken mouth talking to you more?" ”

Xiao Ju saw that she was so lustful, and knew that she had said it, so she put down a big stone in her heart and said calmly: "I saw that when Mama gave the guests change today, the amount was always different, so I guessed it." ”

Seeing Liu Niang's suspicious expression, Xiaoju said confidently: "When I was by the young lady's side, I learned some math from the young lady, but I can help the young lady take care of the account books." ”

Liu Niang was suspicious, but she still took Xiaoju into her room. He took out a stack of paper from the box under the pillow and threw it in front of Xiaoju, "Let's take a look at these accounts, right?" ”

Xiaoju chuckled, flipped through it twice, and saw that it was some rouge silk village orders, and after a few glances, she picked out the place where she had calculated the accounts, and Liu Niang was overjoyed: "No wonder my business here is so good, but I always can't make any money." ”

Liu Niang lightly shook Xiaoju's arms, looked her up and down a few times, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and said in her heart, the first few accounts always deceived her and didn't know how to settle accounts, and now the accounts in the store are in chaos, and someone sent a pillow when she was really sleepy, and asked this Xiaoni to take care of the accounts first, and it was not too late to open her face after two years, but her heart made a decision.

After listening to Xu Qiyuan's speech, Zhu couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to Xiaoju's side. Immediately summoned dozens of family members and rushed to Lancui Pavilion.

When I arrived at the door of Lancui Pavilion, because it was daytime, there was no figure in the open space in front of the building, and the door of the building was open with a small crack. Zhu waved his hand, the family rushed forward, banged open the door of the building, and poured into the hall of the building with great momentum, Liu Niang ran out when she heard the sound, stood on the second floor and looked at the mess below, and said hurriedly: "Which distinguished guest are you, you have something to say." ”

Zhu waved his hand again, and the housekeepers brought the woman up, her legs were already lame, and she limped next to Zhu, stretched out her bloodstained fingers, pointed at Liu Niang and said, "It's her, it's she who bought that girl." ”

This woman was scarred, but her face was intact, Liu Niang immediately recognized her, and was shocked, she turned her brain, and knew that the identity of the chick who was accepted a few days ago was extraordinary, and immediately put on a smiling face, and said in a low voice: "The distinguished guest is here to find Xiaomei?" She has delicious food and drink here for us, but she has not suffered the slightest grievance. ”

Zhu refused to believe her words, and when she entered this door, she had to pay something for the delicious food and drink?! Suddenly, I felt that my heart was like a knife, and I looked at Liu Niang who hated to love her flesh, and said coldly: "Where is she?" ”

Liu Niang looked at people's eyes, how could she not see that Zhu Sheng was angry, she was on the verge of breaking out, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed to the end of the second floor and said, "It's in the last room." ”

Zhu Yi lifted the hem of his robe, rushed to the second floor in three steps, rushed to the last room in three steps, kicked open the door without hesitation, and saw Xiaoju, who was dressed as a small girl, sitting by the window, with an abacus in one hand and an account book in the other, and said without raising his head: "And put the meal aside, I will eat it after I finish it." ”

Zhu Dengshi couldn't cry and laughed, and said angrily: "This account book is easy to calculate? ”

Xiaoju's body stiffened, slowly turned her head, and began to cry loudly, her nose twitched, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve while crying: "Why did my sister come, I thought I didn't want Xiaoju......

The bamboo nose was sour, and then he burst into tears, hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged Xiaoju, and coaxed softly: "It's all my sister's bad, you beat my sister to get angry." ”

After crying for a long time, Zhu took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe Xiaoju's tears, seeing that it was gray and black, and the dirt was not colored, Xiaoju laughed, and Zhu said embarrassedly: "Okay, let's go home." ”

Xiaoju nodded in response, a pair of small hands tightly grasped Zhu's hand, Zhuxin was extremely sad, and asked in a low voice, "Are they embarrassed for you?" Did you do anything bad? ”。
