Chapter 19: Selling Rabbits

Meow Meow nodded obediently and said sweetly, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm very well-behaved!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhuang Tou was overjoyed by this adult shout, and rewarded her with a handful of peanuts before leaving.

Meow Meow did what she said, squatting under a big tree not far away to play with rabbits, and when she looked up, she could see her brothers.

The girls and little girls on the Zhuangzi came and went, and they all saw a little girl squatting under a big tree, delicate and cute, and that particularly beautiful little rabbit, from a distance, except for the somewhat shabby clothes, it was really like a little fairy.

After playing for a while, Meow Meow saw that no one was paying attention to herself, so she tilted the basket, touched the head of the little rabbit, and whispered, "Little Bunny, whether you can sell it for a good price depends on yourself!" But don't let me down after drinking so many droplets! Go ahead! ”

The little rabbit seemed to understand her words, sniffed left and right, and ran away with a jump.

Yesterday, when she and her fourth brother went up the mountain, she listened to the monks in the temple chanting that there were nobles in the villa under the mountain, maybe they would go up the mountain to incense in the next few days, so that everyone would wake up.

She came with her today to try her luck.

What if the noble person in the monk's mouth is the owner of the villa?

Generally, the hostess likes incense, and she will take the ladies of the house with her when she goes out, what if they really like their rabbit?

After all, such a beautiful rabbit, even if she was the shopkeeper of a business house in her previous life, she didn't see much.

In the courtyard in front of Zhuangzi, a young and beautiful lady sat under the porch and instructed the maid beside her, "Look at Miss Dian, don't run too far, Zhuangzi is being renovated, there are many people." ”

The maid answered and went down the steps.

A little girl about four years old, wearing a pink summer dress, was lying on her stomach to watch the fish in the tank, suddenly, she felt itchy under her feet, and when she lowered her head, it was a cute little rabbit.

The little girl was overjoyed, squatted down and teased, and shouted to Mrs. Mei without looking back, "Mother! Come and see, what a pretty little bunny! ”

Mrs. Maung Mei smiled slightly, her daughter likes small animals, just a little rabbit, how cute can it be.

But he didn't want to sweep away his daughter's interest, got up and went over, and when he saw it, it was really beautiful.

The fine and white fluff is like a ball of cotton, and even more lovely is the red one on the neck. The bow, with a pair of red eyes, is like a ruby falling into a snowdrift.

"Is this what Zhuangzi raised?" Madame asked the maid beside her.

As soon as the maid heard this, she knew that her wife liked it too, so she hurriedly inquired.

Because many people saw Meow meow teasing the little rabbit, the maid soon came back, and replied, "Mrs. Hui, this is a tenant family, the three of them came to work in the Zhuangzi today, and there was no one to take care of them at home, so they brought their daughter, and this rabbit is the little girl's." ”

When the little girl heard that the little rabbit belonged to someone else's, she immediately stopped doing it, hugged her mother's thigh and begged, "Mother, I want this little rabbit in my heart!" ”

Mrs. Maung Mei patted her daughter and said to the maid, "You go and ask, whether she sells this rabbit or not, remember, don't make it difficult for others!" ”

This lady is the wife of the famous Marquis of Weiyuan in Beijing, Su Shi.

Since he was gentle and polite, he was afraid that the people below would oppress the people by virtue of their identity.

The maid soon found Meow Meow.

At this time, Meow Meow was leaning against the big tree and falling asleep, with an empty basket next to it.

Seeing that the little girl was clean and cute, the maid couldn't help but chuckle: Silly girl, she slept soundly when the rabbits were gone.

Meow Meow was still dreaming, and she felt someone pushing her, and she woke up suddenly.

The maid saw that the little girl's big eyes were round and bright, clear to the bottom, and the love in her heart was filled in two points, and said softly, "Little girl, where is your rabbit?" ”

Meow rubs her eyes and points her little hand at will.

Suddenly, his small mouth opened slightly, and he hurriedly looked around, and kept shouting, "Tutu? Obedient? ”

The maid covered her mouth and smiled, the little girl was so cute!

That's when I said the purpose of my coming.

I saw that the little girl lowered her head instantly, and her two little fingers kept twisting and twisting, as if she was struggling.

The maid was not in a hurry, and waited patiently with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Finally, Meow Meow raised her head and asked cautiously, "I, if I don't sell Bunny, will my father be driven back?" ”

The maid's heart was sour, she was also sold into the house as a maid because her family was poor when she was a child, and the children of poor families were already in charge.

Lovingly touched her head and shook her head, "No, our lady is the most kind, she won't be angry with your father!" ”

When Meow Meow heard this, her big eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Sister, then I won't sell it." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded again, "Our young lady is about the same age as you, and she is as cute as you, she likes your rabbit so much, what should I do?" ”

After saying that, he stared at Meow Meow.

Seeing that the little girl seemed to have a soft heart, she was really a kind little girl.

Finally, Meow gently bit her lip, as if she was making up her mind.

Then he slowly raised his head, stretched out a finger, and said softly, "One or two silver, do you still buy it?" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, to be honest, one or two silver and a rabbit were really expensive, but she didn't refuse, because she could see that the little girl was indeed reluctant to give up the little rabbit, maybe she wanted to raise the price to make them retreat.

She smiled lightly, sure enough, she was a child, and she didn't know what the Gu family meant in the capital.

He teased her again and asked, "Then do you know how much a tael of silver is?" ”

Meow Meow pursed her mouth, looked at the two brothers who were working in the distance, and nodded, "Dad said that if my brother goes to the county seat to study, he will need one or two silver a month." ”

The maid followed her line of sight, understood a little, touched her head, and didn't say to buy it, nor did she say no to buy it, but just said to go back and ask, and left.

When the person walked away, Meow Meow took a deep breath, shook her head happily, and ran to bring water to her brothers.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Gu heard a tael of silver, she was only slightly surprised, and then nodded, "It's rare that this little rabbit is in good condition, and it's worth it." ”

I also heard that the little girl sold rabbits for her brother to go to school, and let people add one or two.

Meow Meow looked at the two taels of silver in front of her, and opened her mouth wide again.

She looked at the silver, then at the maid sister who was smiling at her, and said, "I only have one rabbit now, and if you still want it, you can only tomorrow." ”

The maid burst out laughing and couldn't help pinching her little face, "Why do we need so many rabbits?" Take it, this is our lady's reward, you rabbit is good-looking, worth so much money! ”

But Meow Meow said that he didn't want anything, but he didn't have any money to find it back, and finally promised to bring another rabbit tomorrow.

The maid smiled, didn't say anything, left the money and left.
