Tokyo City, Smoke Moon Building, in a conservatory.

The old bustard leaned on the soft bed fat and weakly, and the two maids, who combined with less than half her weight, struggled to massage her hidden neck, directly connected to the shoulders of the head.

On the long table next to the soft bed, dozens of ingots of gold were neatly placed, and the old bustard shook his head and sighed while looking at it, like a mourner.

"Xiaocui, Xiaolan, why is the table so long, it doesn't look pleasing to the eye. ”

"Mom, it's not that the table is long, it's that the gold is missing. ”

"Xiao Cui!"

Xiaolan glanced at Xiaocui, Xiaocui stuck out her tongue and pressed harder.

"Yes, the day before yesterday it took up half of the table, yesterday it was missing a corner, and today it is half less, hey, I couldn't finish a table in the past. The muscles on the bustard's face twitched, and his hands were tightly clutched to his heart, as if he was guilty of heartache.

"Mom, you're having heartache again? It's been eight times in the past three days, I'll go out and grind some pearl powder for you. ”

"It's useless, heart disease still needs heart medicine. The old bustard shook his head: "Xiaolan, you are the most elf, can you think of a prescription for your mother's treatment?"

"Mom, your heartache is caused by gold, the day before yesterday, half of the gold was missing, you fainted in pain, yesterday half of the table was missing, you were in pain and couldn't eat, today it is half less, you ate half a bowl of rice....."

"Xiaolan, isn't my mother's illness getting lighter and lighter, if there is less gold.....

"Oops!"

Xiaocui was kicked hard by Xiaolan, so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, and the old bustard said gloomily: "It's not that the less gold I have, the lighter my illness is, but the pain is so adaptable, from heart pain to bone marrow pain, it seems that my life is short." ”

"Mom, the senior sister didn't come back on the first day, the guests of Yanyue Building began to make noise, the gold was less than half, and they didn't come back the next day, the guests fought hard, the gold in that corner was used for repairing and decoration, and they didn't come back on the third day, and the guests didn't come, and the gold was half less, only by asking the senior sister to come back, you can cure your illness." ”

"Hey, if you are hungry, you have to eat, and when you are thirsty, you have to drink water, this truth is understood by three-year-old children, there is Master Li's Yanyue Building is the first Qinglou of the Great Song Dynasty, the country's sons are rich, dignitaries and nobles, they are flocking to it, without Master Li's Yanyue Building, it is not as good as the women's village in the town, Xiaolan, you can invite her back, I will give you ten taels of gold." ”

"Poof! Xiaolan is not blessed to make this money, the senior sister has a haughty personality, it rains, she does not entertain guests, the flowers fall, she does not entertain guests, the birds do not sing anymore, and she does not entertain guests..... If Xiaolan goes to the other courtyard to invite her, her reply must be: 'Tell Mom, the master will never come back!', I guess don't say I will earn ten taels of gold, if you don't kill me, I am considered an ancestor to accumulate virtue. ”

"Xiaolan, I feel sad when I hear your joke!" The old bustard stroked a gold ingot with pity, like coaxing his own child: "Jinzi, when will you come back, without you, my heart is empty." ”

"That's right, Xiao Cui!" A strange color suddenly flashed in the old bustard's eyes: "Didn't Gao Yanei touch your chest that day? Maybe he really likes you, if you sell him your first night, maybe you can make a few hundred taels of gold, who knows the thoughts of those sons and brothers!"

Xiao Cui was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, hugged the old bustard's feet, and cried: "Mom, Xiao Cui is willing to serve you here for the rest of your life, don't be paid, please don't sell Xiao Cui to Gao Yanei." ”

"Xiaocui, you are well-behaved and cute, but it's a pity that my mother only loves gold, whether she sells you or not, it's not you who have the final say, it's not me who has the final say, it depends on whether Gao Yanei likes it or not. ”

Xiao Cui wiped away her tears, stood up indifferently, took two steps back, pulled out the hairpin from her head, put it on her neck, and said slowly: "Mom, if you persecute Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui will have to die in front of you." ”

The old bustard kissed the gold affectionately, like kissing his own child, his eyes were full of gentleness, he raised his head slightly, like changing his face, and became very indifferent: "If you have the appearance of Master Li one hundredth, I will kneel on the ground, begging you not to die, your face, say it is not good-looking, too mean, say good-looking, many girls in Yanyuelou are better than you, Gao Yannei wants you is also unknown, you love to die, the old lady will teach you a method, use a hairpin to cut your face, once and for all, but you had better wear a veil and don't scare the guests." ”

Xiao Cui stood in a daze, her tears were frozen in cold, Xiao Lan went over to take off her hairpin and gently hugged her.

"Mom, there is an official surnamed Wu outside who asks to see him!" The turtle slave walked in, he turned a blind eye to Xiao Cui, who was full of tears and tears, he was used to it, this kind of expression dynamic, every day.

"The old lady is worried about the gold 'nothing', so there is a surname 'none', you tell him, if you want you to change the surname to 'have', the old lady will see him!"

"Yes!"

The turtle slave retreated, and the old bustard was still cursing there, when suddenly he heard a noise, followed by a miserable scream from the turtle slave.

"Xiaolan, go out and see which bird thief dares to make trouble at Lao Niang!"

"Don't bother the young lady! Wu Song came in by himself!"

Seeing that it was Wu Song, the old bustard hurriedly pressed the gold on the table with his body, and hurriedly said, "Wu.... Military attaché, you go out first, and I'll come out later!"

Wu Song clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the door, squinted at the old bustard, and said coldly: "Old bustard, are you harming people again? How can you make the little cui girl so haggard?"

"Wu Er, don't think that if you took care of the trouble for me that day, I have to have a good face, you see, didn't your parents teach you politeness?"

"If my parents hadn't taught me manners, I would have had thirty or so teeth left today!"

Wu Song stepped forward, grabbed the clothes on the old bustard's chest, and put her on the high cabinet, on which the old bustard trembled.

"Takeshi.... Military attaché, it's me who lost my word, you.... You let me down. ”

Wu Song smiled slightly: "My parents only taught me the ability to put people up, but didn't teach me the ability to put people down!"

Xiaolan and Xiaocui looked at each other, forced by Wu Song's might, and did not dare to save the old bustard, the old bustard was also smart, slowly knelt down, and then lay on the top of the cabinet, the two feet hung down first, and the body slowly slid down.

Boom!

After all, he was short and fell to the ground heavily, like a turtle in reverse, Wu Song laughed and said: "You really look like a turtle woman! Okay, you two go out, I have something to say to the old bustard." ”

Wu Song grabbed the bustard's collar with one hand and put her on the chair, the bustard trembled for a while, and then slowly got up and carefully put the gold into the cabinet one by one.

Wu Song saw that the cabinet was full of gold, and he smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will steal it?"

"The stupid girl of the teacher, she doesn't love gold and silver, she only loves the poor and sour hero, she herself is like that bird, and the person she likes is naturally not too shrewd, and she is not interested in gold!"

Although the bustard's mouth hurts, Wu Song sounded very useful, and the old bustard finally put the gold away and said, "Wu Song, why did you come to me? I didn't offend you." ”

"Hmph, you really don't know the hearts of good people!" Wu Song scolded: "I thought that you had taken care of your teacher, and I came to save you!"
