Chapter 46 The Heart of Guarding Against Others Is Indispensable
Remember the URL
The days seem to be good, but Ji Man always feels faintly uneasy in her heart, she doesn't know what will happen in the future now, but a sense of danger always lingers around.
After staying in the house for a long time, looking up and seeing that the alfalfa was not there, Ji Man came back to his senses and stretched out to take a look.
There was no one in the yard, and a few little maids were sent by her to Shuiji to see if the business was good, and they came back with two boxes of alabaster by the way. Alfalfa usually stands outside the house, but today I somehow didn't see anyone.
Walking two steps to her room, the door of her room was not closed, and Ji Man suddenly got into a game and wanted to scare her, so he tiptoed into her room.
Alfalfa was carrying the door behind her back, stuffing something in the closet. Ji Man suddenly jumped over and patted her on the shoulder: Sativa.
Alfalfa's whole body bounced up, as if she was greatly frightened, her eyes were so wide that she didn't take a breath, and fainted.
Ji Man was also startled, and secretly blamed himself for not playing like this, people are really scared to death. Hurriedly carried Alfalfa to the bed, went out to find a passing housekeeper, and asked him to find Dr. Li.
Back in the room, Ji Man saw that the closet door was still open, so he wanted to close it. When I walked over, I saw a cloth bag, a small bulging bag, as if it was filled with silver ingots.
Where did the alfalfa come from? Last time she gave her fifty taels, she shouldn't have so many silver ingots.
Ji Man's brows furrowed, glanced at the person on the bed who hadn't woken up yet, and reached out to open the baggage.
Ten ingots and ten taels of silver, there is also a silver ticket pressed below, the face value is very large, Ji Man looked at it, two hundred and sixty taels, on the top is the ticket seal of Feng Huixing, which is exactly the same as the one that the water lady sends her every month.
Ji Man looked at it for a while, carefully wrapped the silver back, put it in its original place, and then closed the door of the wardrobe.
Dr. Li came soon, his face was very thin, but he didn't have much sadness, only a little anxious when he saw the fainted alfalfa.
Dr. Li sat down to take her pulse.
Ji Man said in a low voice: I came to call her, but I didn't expect to scare her, so I fainted.
Dr. Li was stunned and said helplessly: Her courage is too small, she doesn't know what's going on, and she is always trembling.
Alfalfa's courage is small, according to Mu Shuiqing last time, she was abused by Nie Sangyu before. Ji Man felt that Nie Sangyu owed some alfalfa, so he now doubled the compensation to her.
It's just that she forgot that the heart of defense is indispensable, this girl she is closest to, who knows her most secrets, is equivalent to a fatal wound of her, if she is taken care of, then she will be finished.
Ji Man lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said: How is the mother of Dr. Li's family doing recently?
Dr. Li was prescribing medicine, and when he heard this, he paused and said: Thank you Master Sang for your concern, my mother's health has been much better recently, and she has finally raised some of them.
Ji Man nodded, it is said that Dr. Li's mother is paralyzed in bed and has asthma, and has been hanging herself with ginseng. Dr. Li's meager income, it is really not easy to support his mother.
Dr. Li looked at the alfalfa for me first, I had a headache, so I went back to the house and lay down for a while. Jiman got up.
This Doctor Li stood up hesitantly and secretly looked at Ji Man's expression, he is a man, and it is not good to be alone with the maid. It's just that Ji Man is the master after all, and she can't be asked to stay here.
Why do you have to see each other too much with Alfalfa, if you really feel that it is detrimental to Alfalfa's reputation, then carry a sedan chair to welcome her through the door, and I am also willing to let her go. Ji Man said jokingly and left.
Dr. Li's face was red for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't keep anyone, he sat on the edge of the bed honestly.
Ji Man went back to the house and went to open her closet, and there was her silver ticket in the bottom of the dark compartment, because the alabaster and mask were selling well, the water lady sent her more than eight hundred taels of silver tickets, she didn't count them, and handed them over to Alfalfa for accounting.
Taking out a stack of silver tickets, Ji Man counted them, and there were five hundred taels left.
Does Alfalfa think she doesn't know the number at all, or does she think she's stupid? If you want to treat Dr. Li's mother, you have to ask her how much to take it, and she won't give it, why would she take such a big risk to steal?
Moreover, she had three hundred and sixty taels of silver in one of her maid's rooms, and if this thing was found out, I am afraid that not only Alfalfa would suffer, but she would also be implicated, right? stabbed through, even the old lady couldn't protect her.
Ji Man suddenly felt a chill in his back, and hurriedly put all the silver tickets in his hand into a sheepskin bag, walked lightly to the backyard, and saw that there was no one around, so he dug a pit and buried the sheepskin bag. In order to prevent people from seeing the traces of the soil turning, the flower pot next to it was moved to block it.
Then she went back to the house and went to sleep as if nothing had happened.
Master, alabaster has been bought. The two little maids are back, both rough girls, fourteen or fifteen years old, smart and lively. One is called wick and the other is licorice.
On weekdays, there is only Alfalfa who enters her room, and Ji Man doesn't pay attention to these little girls, but now when she looks closely, the wick's eyes are clear and lively. Licorice is quiet and silent, well-behaved and sensible, but they are all good seedlings.
Well. Ji Man smiled: Go and see if your Aunt Alfalfa is awake, she is frightened by me.
Five boxes of alabaster, Ji Man sent a large box of two small boxes to the old lady's yard, and the remaining two boxes were given to Wen Wan and Qian Lianxue one box.
Originally, alabaster is sold now, and it is not her turn to be a good person. It's a pity that she ordered the water lady, and the other maids in the Hou Mansion went to ask, and they all said that there was no goods, and only the maids around her could buy them.
She had intended to do this kind of flattering thing all the time, but now it seems that it will not work, and she has to pull it out before the bomb explodes.
When Alfalfa woke up, she leaned on the head of the bed and gasped for breath for a while, and saw that the two rough girls and Dr. Li were in the room, and she didn't see the master who had just scared her, her heart tightened, and she quickly stumbled out of bed, opened the wardrobe and looked.
The burden is in its original position, and there is no trace of turning.
Did the master have any orders? Alfalfa turned to the people in the room and asked the people in the room.
The two little girls shook their heads even Dr. Li.
Madame said that she had accidentally frightened you, and she was very worried, so she asked me to stay here. Doctor Li lifted the medicine box and said: You are overly frightened, there is nothing else, you will be fine after sleeping.
Alfalfa breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up her clothes, sent Dr. Li out, and went to the house to find Ji Man.
Woke up? Ji Man's face was a little sad, and when he saw her come in, he just asked.
Alfalfa Heart brought it up again, walked up to her and asked: Why is the master so unenergetic?
Alas, I mistrusted people. Ji Man's chin rested on the table, and he said in frustration: How can this be good.
Alfalfa's knees were weak, and she was almost on her knees, and her face became whiter and whiter.
You say, I'm so good to the water lady, why does she want to forget her righteousness and abandon me?" Ji Man asked softly.
Alfalfa paused and muttered: Why her?
Who else could she be? Ji Man said angrily: She said that she would make a profit of four or six yuan, but now that she has money, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and gave me five hundred taels of silver saying that she was buying out the copyright of alabaster cream, and then she went to do business on her own, and took all my ideas.
How can this be. Alfalfa's eyes widened: The water lady looks good.
Ji Man shook his head and sighed: I don't know the face but don't know the heart, I put the silver ticket in the secret compartment of the wardrobe, don't move it, keep it for the elderly.
Be. Alfalfa lowered her eyes, and there was a look of struggle in her eyes.
The master and servant were silent for a while, and Alfalfa couldn't help asking: Didn't the master plan to sue her, didn't he write a contract?
It's not good for me to poke this thing out. Ji Man shook his head: Let the Hou Ye and the old lady know that the alabaster is actually made by me, and it is absolutely impossible to eat it and walk around.
Alfalfa nodded and stood quietly to the side in a daze.
Ji Man lowered his head and drank tea silently.
That night, there was a thief in the house, saying that Qi Siling's yard was in a small night, and the person was fine, but he lost a hundred taels of private money.
The Hou Mansion suddenly became lively, and even the people in Nanyuan were alarmed, and Ning Errong ran to Ji Man with a curious face to see the excitement: Your aunt is really rich, and she has saved a hundred taels of private money.
Ji Man was grooming in front of the mirror, and chuckled when he heard this: After all, he is a person who has been a family, and it is strange if he has no foundation. Someone should come and search them one by one, you don't have to go elsewhere to see the excitement, I'm the most lively here.
Ning Errong didn't understand what she meant, but after seeing that after a while, Qi Siling and Mo Yuhou took the family to the door of the Feiwan Pavilion.
Let's look here too. As soon as Ning Yuxuan entered the door, she saw Ji Man, she turned around, her face seemed to be more beautiful than what she saw a few days ago, and if she looked at it for a while, it made people feel excited.
Mo Yuhou faintly withdrew his gaze and waved his hand at Jia Ding.
Qi Siling came in the door, took Ji Man's hand affectionately and said: "Excuse me, sister, I and Hou Ye have even searched the Rose Garden just now, you should be fine here, right?"
Ji Man smiled generously and decently: My sister is free to search.
Qi Siling nodded, turned around and watched a few maids come in and open Ji Man's wardrobe. A few of the housekeepers outside rushed into Alfalfa's room, rummaged for a while, and then shouted: Found it!
Ji Man's clothes were thrown out a lot, but a few maids who rummaged through the wardrobe found nothing, and stood up with a red face and said: Master Sang doesn't have it here.
Qi Siling looked at Mo Yuhou, a few family members twisted alfalfa into the house, put a bag of things on the ground, and just wanted to open it, he heard Ji Man shout softly:
Slowly.
