Chapter 592: Little Five
Jiang Yunhua found that the monkey's cooking skills were very good, and it was obviously a very ordinary bowl of noodles, but it made his index finger move, unlike Suifeng, who still didn't eat the things that had been cooked after so many years.
Perhaps because of his wounds, the monkey insisted on guarding him, and after being thrown out, she sat at the door and guarded it, refusing to leave.
As soon as he opened the door on the second day, he saw the monkey squatting on the ground and falling asleep, Jiang Yunqi's brows furrowed slightly.
He doesn't need someone to guard him, he just needs someone to clean the ancestral hall and guard the house.
Jiang Yunhua woke up the monkey, and didn't care if she understood it or not, stared at her and said: "I'm not a good person, I bought you back to let you do things for me, if you really can't understand people, you have to go crazy, then I will send you to the Madman Tower!" ”
There are many poor people in this world, he is not a god or Buddha, and he does not have the heart of everyone.
The monkey's eyes were wide open, a little frightened.
After saying this, Jiang Yunhua began to teach the monkey rules again, this time she obviously learned a lot more seriously, and she no longer came to the door to guard him at night.
The medicine for injuries in the house is the best, and the imperial doctor also comes to diagnose and treat him from time to time, Jiang Yunhua's injury quickly healed, and he returned to the Yushitai to be busy day and night.
Sui Feng was busy preparing for the marriage, and he didn't have time to go back to Zhongyongbo's mansion, and only the monkey was left in the huge mansion.
Monkeys actually have names, too.
Her family is very poor, but there are many brothers and sisters, she is the fifth, the family calls her Xiaowu, when she was five years old, there was a famine in the family, she was sold to people for food, and since then she has no name.
Xiao Wu was too thin and weak, and she was not good-looking, and she was beaten every day, scolded her for losing money, and later sold her to a monkey showman.
When the man saw that she was talented, he taught her to play a monkey play.
Xiao Wu studied hard, acted well, and helped earn a lot of money, but she still couldn't eat or dress warmly, and she was very homesick.
She secretly saved up money and wanted to go home to see it, but she didn't go far before she was caught.
The man was very angry, but he still needed her to play a monkey play, and he couldn't break her hands and feet, so he pulled out her tongue and tied her up with chains.
Since then, Xiao Wu has slept with the monkeys and acted in monkey shows together.
Over time, she almost forgot that she was a human being.
But no one has such a long lifespan, the monkey who plays the monkey show with Xiao Wu is slowly getting old and dying, and the person who plays the monkey show is also old, he is not willing to go south and north anymore, and is ready to sell her to find a place to stabilize, and let her choose a new owner by herself.
When he went to the slave market that day, Xiao Wu saw the fierce but noble man at a glance.
The man was older, but he was good-looking.
He walked in the slave market, no one dared to approach him, and she didn't want to be bullied anymore, so she had the courage to hug his leg.
He did buy her, and he had a very good temper.
He didn't beat her or scold her, and even let her take a shower and wear new clothes, and she was determined to show him a good monkey show.
But he didn't like monkey plays, he didn't even let her turn over, and he didn't even want to let her get close.
It was useless for her to go on a hunger strike.
But the new owner let her live in a very big house, and she could eat a full meal every meal, and she was afraid of being abandoned by the new owner, so she could only learn to adapt to the new life.
A man named Suifeng took the time to teach her a lot of things, but she hadn't spoken to anyone for so long that she couldn't remember anything.
When the new owner returned, she secretly drank and got drunk.
She didn't actually know that it was wine, but she had smelled it, and she had seen many people drink it before, and they wanted to taste it, but they got drunk.
The new owner was very angry and threw her out, and later she found that the new owner was injured and looked like he was dying.
She didn't want her new owner to die.
She cooked noodles for her new owner, which was the only thing she could make.
The new owner still got angry after eating, in order not to be thrown away, she learned the rules from the new master very seriously this time.
After the new owner left, there was an old gentleman with gray hair in the house.
The husband taught her to read and write, and told her to behave.
Every day, she fetched water to carefully wipe the tablet in the ancestral hall, mop the floor clean, and then go to learn to write.
The new owner is always not at home, she guards the big house alone, and does the same thing repeatedly every day.
Before you know it, it's winter.
After a snowfall, the new owner returned home.
Mr. has taught her a lot, she already knows the name of the new master, his name is Jiang Yunqiu, and he is a very powerful person.
She stood behind him and saluted her new master with the newly learned etiquette.
The new owner's expression was very light, not surprised, nor surprised.
After a few words with the gentleman, he led her out the door.
His carriage was large, with thick cushions underneath and a stove in it, which was very warm.
The new owner took her to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a thick winter coat and thick shoes, as well as frostbite medicine.
On the way back, the new owner asked her, "You have been studying for a long time, can you understand me now?" ”
She nodded vigorously.
The new owner asked, "What's your name?" ”
She thought about it for a while and wrote down the words "Little Five".
She didn't practice calligraphy for a long time, and her writing was crooked.
"Little Five?"
As the new owner read these two words, she bent her eyes with joy.
Years passed, and she finally had a name again.
The new owner asked her a lot of questions, but she didn't know enough words and answered them well.
However, the new owner did not blame her and took her to a new yard.
This courtyard is much smaller than where she lives now, but there are red silks hanging everywhere, and there are two people in red clothes inside, which is very lively.
The new owner was respectfully welcomed in, but everyone was far away from him, and looked at him very frightened, and the originally lively courtyard suddenly became deserted, and everyone stopped laughing.
The new owner drank a glass of wine, put down some things and left, and someone chased him out to keep him, but the new owner didn't look back.
After getting into the carriage, she heard the new owner say, "In the future, you will have Xiao Wu to do your business, you just need to live your own life." ”
Xiao Wu is her name, and she will help the new master in the future.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
The new owner didn't smile, and his eyes were even a little red.
The corners of her lips pressed down as well.
She didn't know why the new owner was sad, and she didn't know how to comfort her, what she was best at was playing monkey shows, but the new owner didn't like it.
When he got home, the new master took the jar of wine and drank it to himself.
He didn't talk to her, just sat quietly, drinking one sip after another.
The snow melted in the wine, and his whole being melted into the snow.
She didn't learn enough vocabulary to know how to describe it, but she felt that this picture made her eyes hot and her heart was very uncomfortable.
