Chapter 3 Large Households
I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Zhu Xiaozhou thought about the words of the man in white, thinking that the ransom must have come.
A cigarette crawled out of bed.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
But when I opened the door, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
An old man dressed strangely stood in front of the carriage as if he had been waiting for a long time. "Bring your things and come with us, my young lady is waiting for you."
I'm afraid it's ...... I've really met a ghost.
Zhu Xiaozhou was just about to retreat.
saw that the old man took out two silver dollars, raised his hand and handed them over, and asked Zhu Xiaozhou to pick them up in person.
Zhu Xiaozhou thought, if it was really money, wouldn't it be a big loss if he didn't follow.
Immediately took it with both hands with a smile on his face, and took it in his hand to take a look - good guy, it's really Yuan Datou!?
Laughing and putting it in his mouth and biting it, "This thing won't suddenly turn into paper paste until daytime, right?" ”
The old man was stunned and shook his head.
"Don't worry."
"Done!" After confirming the color of Yuan Datou, Zhu Xiaozhou felt secretly happy, returned to the shop, folded the ribbon carefully, put it in the box, and went out with the box in his arms.
The old man motioned for her to get in the car.
hesitated for a moment, and finally lost to the desire for money.
Zhu Xiaozhou obediently got into the carriage.
The old man jumped in front of the car and sat down, and the driver of the car raised his whip and whipped it on the horse, and the horse pulled the cart forward.
Zhu Xiaozhou held the box that could make her rich, paying attention to the changes in the scenery everywhere she went outside the window, and felt that the carriage was running fast, walking on the street, and suddenly it became a deep mountain and old forest.
It is surrounded by grassy greenery, and the trees that grow here are as thick as one person embracing them.
Just as he was surprised, the carriage stopped.
The old man said, "It's here." ”
Zhu Xiaozhou poked his head out holding the box.
Suddenly, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Getting off the carriage was like a world away.
There is a flower under the eye, and the marquee-like scene perfectly coincides with the deep mansion compound seen in front of you. Under the guidance of the old man, enter through the side door, and the long corridor path with thousands of turns and turns is endless.
Occasionally, I rubbed shoulders with several glamorous women wearing cheongsams.
Smelling the fragrant powder on their bodies, the laughter made people's bones crisp.
The old man turned sideways and reminded her not to look around.
Zhu Xiaozhou lowered his head like an old man, but he caught a glimpse of the soldiers stationed outside the gate.
Those people were dressed in the old blue military uniforms of the Republic of China, carrying long-barreled guns, with tall postures, holding their heads high and guarding the door, so majestic!
Zhu Xiaozhou shuddered and quietly touched a cold sweat.
Follow the old man to the small south building where the young lady lives, the gray and white two-story small western-style building is elegant and chic.
The old man asked Zhu Xiaozhou to wait outside, and he was about to take the box from her.
At this time, as if he suddenly heard something said by the people in the building, the old man sighed and asked Zhu Xiaozhou to send the box in by himself.
At the moment when Zhu Xiaozhou was about to step into the door with the box.
The old man reminded in a gloomy voice, "When you see Miss, don't talk nonsense." ”
Zhu Xiaozhou was excited, but he still entered the door with the box steadily, there was a maid in the room, but it looked lifeless. They pointed upstairs, meaning to let Zhu Xiaozhou go upstairs with the box.
I thought that after meeting that young lady, I would be able to get the money.
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't care about worrying anymore, hugged the box, stepped on the creaking stairs, and went up to the second floor.
Glancing at the furnishings in the house, Zhu Xiaozhou secretly marveled, this layout ornament is very exquisite, and the identity of the owner of the room must be extraordinary. A bottle of blue jade screen was horizontally in the room, faintly revealing a woman reading a book on the edge of the bed.
But when she came out from behind the screen, it was a big surprise.
She wore a classic blue school uniform from the Republic of China, with two braids and a knee-length black skirt.
Typical girls' school dress.
Isn't it - crossed over to the Republic of China?
The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, bloodless, weak.
Zhu Xiaozhou handed over the box, and the girl took it carefully, and her eyes turned red the moment she opened the box. Without waiting for Zhu Xiaozhou to open her mouth to withdraw the money, she turned around and ran to the bed, crying on her stomach.
A scholar in white with charming eyebrows and eyes.
A girl school student, simple and rich.
Interesting.
"Does he have any words left?" The girl asked Zhu Xiaozhou.
Zhu Xiaozhou recalled, "He only said that tonight, someone will come to redeem him." Let me just take my things with me, and I will not be treated badly. ”
Don't dare to omit a word.
"Sure enough, he has nothing to leave me." The girl cried a lot.
It's heart-wrenching to hear.
Zhu Xiaozhou wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to persuade.
At a glance, you can tell that it is the man who bears the woman, and the more you persuade the emotional matter, the more wrong it becomes.
"You go to Uncle Liu to receive the reward, just say that I said it, and give one more reward." The girl raised her head and said this.
"Thank you, Miss."
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't dare to stay longer, turned around and went downstairs, glanced at the four maids standing on the first floor, and was startled by their lifeless appearance.
ran out of the small south building all the way and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, how is my young lady?" Uncle Liu stepped forward to ask, looking worried.
"Crying." After Zhu Xiaozhou finished speaking, he added, "Somehow, after she saw the contents of the box, she cried. Let me go to Uncle Liu to receive the reward, and say that she said it, and give one more reward. ”
The most important thing she hadn't forgotten was she.
Uncle Liu first handed over a bag of silver dollars prepared in advance, and then asked someone to carry a bag and hand it to Zhu Xiaozhou.
Zhu Xiaozhou carried the heavy two bags of silver dollars, and estimated that there were two hundred.
I secretly said in my heart, I took it back and sold it, but I really made a fortune.
"I have something to do, you go out the way you came, and the carriage is waiting for you outside the door. You get in the carriage and you'll be back where you came. Uncle Liu explained.
"Cheng, you are free, I can do anything."
Zhu Xiaozhou's heart was beautiful.
Seeing Uncle Liu leave, she checked the two bags of silver dollars, and felt that it was too obvious to hold it in her hand......
Simply tied to his belt.
One bag on the left, one bag on the right, tugged at the jacket, and just covered it.
Hey, the beauty in my heart, I can't care about whether it sinks or not, so I'm ready to go back.
According to the way I came, I crossed the corridor of the path, and met the young ladies who were covered with the fragrance of fat powder and had a graceful posture, and let them touch her face twice in a playful way, leaving a bright red lip print.
It's like Tang Xuanzang entered the Pansi Cave and tried his best to get out.
The body was full of their fat powder, and they patted the pockets on both sides, still overjoyed.
I was about to go out, but when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure on the stone bridge in front of me......
It's the man who wants to redeem the headband.
Isn't that a coincidence!?
It turns out they're together.
Thinking that he might be able to ask for another reward, Zhu Xiaozhou went up. "You...... Also a relative of this family? ”
"Can you see me?"
The man asked an inexplicable question.
All of a sudden, Zhu Xiaozhou was depressed.
This person is really crazy for daring to love...... "Sorry, excuse me." ”
Unprofitable things, she won't delay her efforts, turn around and leave.
Blind with such a beautiful embryo.
The man's eyes swept over the bulging bag around her waist.
"Bang la la blah."
The bag on the left suddenly fell to the ground, and the silver dollars in the bag rolled all over the ground.
This made her anxious, and she hurriedly leaned down to pick it up. "My money!"
