Chapter 16: Zheng's intercession

Yuan Xi felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly asked Ling'er to accompany him to the back hall. Liu Tianbao held the medicine bottle in his hand and stood dumbfounded for a while. After a while, I saw three big faces approaching, Wang He, Ruan Er, and Li Lin, all three of whom had a stupid look. Liu Tianbao was a little embarrassed: "What are you going to do?"

Li Lin pretended to be coquettish: "No one has ever been so good to others like Miss San." ”

Wang He Ruan and the two wanted to be ashamed of him, but they didn't expect Li Lin's voice to be so coquettish, they couldn't hold back, and they spat out with laughter for a while. Liu Tianbao punched Li Lin: "you, you go coquettish with you." ”

Wang He said with a smile: "Yesterday opened, some people still picked their noses and eyes at the third miss, saying that the third miss is not a business material. With this today, this kind of person can become fast enough!"

Ruan Er said peacefully: "Yes, our brother Bao is a hero to save the United States today, love at first sight, in the future, it will be you and me, and then later, it is time to grow old together, right?"

Li Lin pretended to be serious, and patted Liu Tianbao on the shoulder with both hands: "Brother Bao, I don't laugh at you like them, I'm optimistic about you, a pawnshop guy, self-inflicted affection on the young lady of the main family, and the toad wants to eat swan meat hahaha......"

Liu Tianbao was embarrassed by the three of them. Yuan Xi came out of the back hall, knowing that they were ridiculing, so he said: "What are you doing? What kind of jokes are laughing like this? Rush Ming'er to the house and tell jokes to the old lady, who took the lead in laughing?"

Before the words fell, the index fingers of the three people pointed at Liu Tianbao at the same time, Liu Tianbao looked at Yuan Xi, turned his head and ran out of the store.

After noon, the sky gradually darkened, and it was not long before snowflakes drifted all over the sky, like goose feathers, shining with a crystal luster. Ling'er filled a small piece of rose incense cake in the hand stove, put a velvet sleeve on it and sent it to Yuan Xi's hand.

Ling'er rubbed his hands and called an apprentice over: "This weather is really freezing to death, I don't think this one earth dragon is enough, this hall is so empty, you have to fill in two more." Then you go back to the house, and order the corridor to send some more charcoal fire and two earth dragons. ”

"No need, no need, I brought it to the third girl. ”

Before Ling'er's words fell, she heard someone talking outside the door, and someone pulled a curtain into the door: "Three girls, business is booming, come and come, all move in." ”

"Aunt Zheng, why did you come to me?" Yuan Xi Nahan, Aunt Zheng had never said a few serious words to herself, let alone any friendship.

The little maid and maid in Aunt Zheng's yard hurriedly moved things to the lobby, two baskets of charcoal fires, two brand-new earth dragons, and a wooden screen of four beauties. Aunt Zheng smiled and looked around: "It's really amazing, the third girl has only taken over this pawnshop for a few days, and she has taken care of it in an orderly manner." ”

Yuan Xi raised her eyebrows, and glanced around a few times along Aunt Zheng's gaze, all she saw was some beams and furnishings, how could she see that it was in order? This sycophant was too unlevel, Yuan Xi still indifferently let Aunt Zheng sit aside. Ling'er served a cup of thirst-quenching tea, Aunt Zheng frowned, and didn't say much.

Ling'er's mind Yuanxi understands that every penny in the pawnshop is a cost, and those good red robes Tieguanyin are used to entertain guests who are not official or rich, but what is Aunt Zheng? She is a master who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, is this kind of person also worthy of drinking good tea in the store?

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be surprised, the store is small, and it has just opened, so we don't have much money to buy good tea, and we usually drink white water." ”

Originally, Aunt Zheng didn't come to drink tea, she came to beg for help, so her attitude was also very soft, she put down the teacup and said with a smile: "What the third lady said is that only self-made people can do great things, and the hardships you suffer now will be good for the future." ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Ling'er silently, and Ling'er flattened her mouth with disdain. Aunt Zheng saw that Yuanxi had nothing to say to herself, so she had to talk nonsense in the east and west. Liu Tianbao and Ruan Er felt embarrassed, so they all went to the counter to sit and take a nap.

Yuan Xi saw that Aunt Zheng was really embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Auntie is here to see me today? ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zheng finally had a purpose, and she was relieved, revealing a little embarrassment: "I am dissatisfied with the third miss and said, I really have nothing to do today to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I want to ask the third miss for something." ”

Ling'er glanced at her with disdain, and Yuan Xi smiled: "I said, if my aunt can come to see me, there must be a reason." But I don't know what's going on?"

Aunt Zheng hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "The third lady is the daughter of the master, and the old lady values it so much, even the clan elders are afraid of three points, I often hear people say ......"

"Auntie, this is too much, Yuan Xi has always been respectful to the clan elders. Whether in the house or outside, I also abide by the rules, and what I say makes the clan elders afraid, this is a shadowless thing. Yuan Xi categorically interrupted Aunt Zheng's words, and Zheng's face turned blue and white for a while.

"It's me who said it wrong, Miss Three, I want to say that Miss Three is respected...... Everyone in the house didn't give a thumbs up when they mentioned Miss Three. ”

Aunt Zheng's unprovoked praise made Yuanxi feel embarrassed for a while, and Ling'er couldn't listen to it anymore, so she said: "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it, don't say what you have." ”

Aunt Zheng saw that Yuanxi and Ling'er didn't save face for her, so she was silent for a long time: "The weather is so cold now, Yuanjie is still locked up in the ancestral hall, although the master allows her to send food and clothing, in the end it is better to be in her own room, she is weak, how can she be good if she is sick? ”

Before Yuan Xi could speak, Ling Er sneered first: "Auntie, I'm afraid that I am mistaken, the fourth lady was confined, one is because she is too cruel to her subordinates and breaks the rules of the house; ”

Aunt Zheng was embarrassed for a while, but no one could say anything about this matter except for begging Yuanxi. The relationship between himself and the You family is not good, in the final analysis, the You family is also Yuan Jie's responsibility for being fined the moon case silver, and the You family can't wait to rectify their mother and daughter, how can they speak for her? As for the Yu family of Xiang Hanxuan, she is a bodhisattva, but it is a pity that she is Yuan Xi's person, so the Zheng family really can't think of any other way.

Yuan Xi smiled: "If the fourth sister just contradicted the old lady, I might be able to ask for mercy." But the fourth sister has committed two family laws, and she doesn't admit her mistakes, what else can others do? Let me give my aunt an idea, you go to Aunt You, she has the right to take care of the house, and she may be able to speak in front of the old lady. ”

"Hey, Miss Three......"

Without waiting for Aunt Zheng to say anything, Yuan Xi helped on the screen given by Aunt Zheng: "These things, Aunt should take them back to the fourth sister, the ancestral hall is a place where the wind is ventilated on all sides, it is cloudy and cold, and the fourth sister needs these." ”

Ling'er waved to the four guys at the counter: "You guys come and take these things out for my aunt and load them in the car." ”

Liu Tianbao, Wang He, Li Lin, Ruan, and the two and four men went back and forth a few times, and moved out the earth, dragon, charcoal, fire and other things, leaving only the screen. Wang He was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Xi asked, "Why don't you move?"

Wang He scratched his head: "Third Miss, the carriage can't be loaded." ”

Yuan Xi was surprised: "This is strange, I have come here, and I can't go back?"

Aunt Zheng saw that Yuan Xi really didn't give face, so she said to Wang He weakly: "Carry it to the other door." ”

There was a furniture storefront on the side of the restaurant, Wang He and Li Lin carried the screen back, one left and one right, and Aunt Zheng left Xiyintang in a daze, without even saying goodbye.

"If you want me to say that this aunt and grandmother are also picky, and if you ask someone to do something, you will send these rags, even the mothers-in-law who watch the door in the house send things more decently than this, don't we have to spend money to do things for her? Li Lin said this very meanly, but he hit the nail on the head.

Ruan Er took a sip and said: "Everyone is out to mix, not to mention that they are all human spirits, they are all old rivers and lakes, they are all beautiful in their mouths, and when they get to the real thing, they will play tricks, and look at who is a fool? ”

"One or two?" Wang He pulled the curtain in: "It's worth five yuan, Aunt Fang and grandma went to return it, guess what the old carpenter said, people said that Xiao Lao'er's things were sold to the croppers, how did you get it to Xiyintang." It's ridiculous to shame my aunt and grandmother. ”

Liu Tianbao saw that Yuanxi didn't speak, so he said: "I think the third lady refuses, I'm afraid it's not because of these things, right?"

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, or he said that Liu Tianbao was really an understanding person, so he nodded: "If I want to help her, even if she comes empty-handed, I will help, if I don't want to help her, even if she carries the gold mountain, it will be in vain." ”

Ling'er only felt relieved, and snorted: "Aunt Zheng is really old and confused, her baby daughter, take advantage of it, hide when she sees the laborious things, and stumble us openly and secretly, what kind of sisterhood is there at this time, it is not disgusting." Now she is embarrassed to come and beg us to intercede? ”

Yuan Xi was silent, remembering that among the four sisters, the ones who didn't want to see him the most were the eldest sister Yuan Jia and the fourth sister Yuan Jie. In the previous life, the eldest sister almost broke her bones, and in this life she is still vicious. But if you ask her which one she hates the most, Yuan Xi may not be talking about Wei Yuanjia. To put it bluntly, he and Yuan Jia are just two opponents of life and death, just like political enemies in the court, it is their own ability to fight, but their skills are not as good as others.
