Chapter Forty-Eight: It's Better to Be a Mule
Qingying noticed that Yuezhuo's eyes were eagerly staring out the door.
He's in a hurry to leave?
Qingying paused and cleared her throat: "Do you want to leave?"
Yue Zhuo was silent, bowed to the Qingying family to express her gratitude, and then turned around and swept past the two sisters of the Qing family without thinking, and a shadow disappeared from sight.
My left hand was on her waist, and a thin finger of her right hand was gently tapped on her face, muttering, "Sister, are you reluctant to let him go?"
Qingying glanced at her slender face, no matter how many times she denied it, the girl always grabbed her and the man. She said no, but no.
It's just that Qingying Jue, her instinct tells herself that this person doesn't look like he is pretending. He has lost his memory, where else can he go?
I was faintly worried in my heart, how would this man get along in Jiangcheng, which he was not familiar with. It just so happens that there is no one in the government on an errand these days, in case he encounters a hooligan ruffian who comes out to fight, can he deal with it as a powerless person?
Qingying decided to go and have a look.
Quietly following behind him, Qingying found that this man was not as vulnerable as she thought.
People understand the world very well, and they also know that buying things needs to be exchanged with Tongbao at an equivalent price.
Qingying's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, wait, this guy has changed his clothes, where did he get the money!
Yuezhuo held the hot white-flour steamed bun, couldn't wait to bite it, and burned her lips.
The fragrance of Fang Caiqing's steamed buns is too fragrant, but the family has long had the intention of chasing people, so why should he be brazen and stay there. What's more, it's not related to his family, so why bother to be boring.
It's just that the clothes on the body are cheap, although the workmanship is simple and the style is old, but it is quite comfortable to wear. The most important thing is that there is also a small pocket sewn inside, and this collusion treasure is clearly placed inside.
Since he was clothed and left that house, he could only abandon benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, and fill his stomach with the money first.
Yuezhuo blew on the soft white-flour steamed bun and took a bite of it. The muscles and bones of the steamed bun fought between the lips and teeth, and finally softened, turned into a puddle of sticky, and went down the throat.
Lips and teeth linger.
Yuezhuo frowned, this steamed bun didn't seem to have the fragrance that I had eaten before.
Before, he was puzzled, had he ever eaten steamed buns before?
Why is there always a vague shadow lingering in his head, still wagging his tail.
Yuezhuo squinted at the big yellow dog pretending to sleep on the side of the steamed bun stall, and wagged his plush tail comfortably.
The big yellow dog also opened one eye, and the other eye was still closed, and met his gaze.
The sides of Yuezhuo's cheeks sneered, and a distorted arc was hooked, that shadow, isn't this guy?
The cramps on his face have not yet recovered, and when he turns his head, he can't hold back the blame in his eyes.
Qingying's face was solemn, and a finger against his chest, poked, and interrogated, "Say, the money was taken?"
Yuezhuo was not in a hurry to cover up, and replied truthfully: "In the clothes." ”
Qingying was surprised, and when he was on the street, he raised his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
I searched it, but it didn't work.
When she was in doubt, Yuezhuo actually took her hand and ran her hand into the lining of her clothes, touching the heat on her chest.
A wave of warmth.
Then a string of heavy Kaiyuan Tongbao hung on her slightly calloused fingers.
"It's all here, pay you back. Yuezhuo glanced at the white-flour steamed bun that she had bitten in her hand, and there was a raw tooth mark on it, which was also stuffed into her hand, "Give it back to you." ”
Then he turned around and left, walking so chicly.
Qingying's anger didn't hit one place, raised the steamed bun in his hand, aimed at the moving target, and smashed it hard.
"Who wants your broken steamed buns!"
But the man went farther and farther away, pretending not to hear.
Qingying chased after him, pulled his collar, and scolded angrily: "Say, are you a thief?"
Everyone's eyes were drawn one after another, looking forward to this good show.
Yuezhuo replied lukewarmly: "No." ”
Qingying continued to ask: "Then why do you have money on you, obviously you took off and changed into my family's clothes at that time!"
Qingying's voice was like a bell, and when the pedestrians heard the meaning of the words, they all scolded in their hearts that this Qing girl was really not ashamed, and she actually said such things in public.
She finally realized the strange gaze around her, so she dragged Yuezhuo to the corner and discussed it privately.
Yuezhuo's attitude still did not change, as always: "It's just that I borrowed two copper plates from you to buy a steamed bun, and I will pay you back." ”
"Also, what do you take?" Qingying glanced at Yue Zhuo indifferently, "I gave you even your clothes." ”
What she said was that Yuezhuo was poor and white at the moment, and there was only one person left.
Or do you want to pay off your debts?
He asked tentatively, "Why don't I pay off my debts?"
Qingying pondered for a while, and snapped her fingers: "Deal." ”
Yuezhuo's face was full of black lines, I didn't expect her to agree so quickly, didn't she hesitate?
Sure enough, the girl's family is the most angry.
Qingying dragged this free-earned labor force along the way, full of joy. A dozen abacus in my heart, two copper plates for a mule, it's really worth it!
The mules in the family are tired to death, and my father and mother are reluctant to let her girl do the rough work of grinding beans all day long, and she plans to buy another one in the near future.
After calculation, it costs five taels of silver to buy a mule, and a living big man only needs two copper plates, and he can also take over work such as chopping wood, burning fire, and fetching water. Qingying pinched her fingers and counted, no loss.
As soon as she entered the house, she sat down on a stool while it was hot, the moon burning pestle was beside her, and the corners of her clothes were tightly held in her hands.
Daddy and My Auntie were dumbfounded, this guy who was finally driven out is back?
Qing Yingniang pulled Qing Ying aside and whispered, "Girl, what are you bringing him back for?"
Qingying also leaned into her mother's ear and responded: "Mother, with his work for that mule, we can save a lot of money." ”
Qingying's mother thought, too, she had thought about this problem before. But—
She leaned in and whispered, "What if he's a bad guy?"
Qingying sighed and continued: "Mother, he has lost his memory, and now is the best time for us to control it." Besides, with me, don't you feel at ease? ”
Qing Yingniang thought about it, it made sense. How could the laborers who were sent to the door for nothing not accept it, and looking at that kid, he had no intention of refusing at all, and he was also determined to eat and drink at home.
That's it, since one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, then it should be to recruit him to work at home and give him a bite to eat.
Qing Yingniang couldn't let go of the pimple in her heart, so she carefully reminded Qing Ying: "If we find anything wrong with him, we will report it to the official immediately." ”
Qingying nodded in response, suddenly remembered something, hid her face and whispered, "Mother, my father seems to have hidden private money." ”
When Qing Yingniang heard this, her face changed, and she drank: "Her father, come here." ”
Qingying's father didn't know what was going on, but seeing the whispering of the mother, it finally came to fruition. That simple temperament can't be the master at home, everything is still Qingyingniang's inside and out.
I thought it was because of Yuezhuo's decision to stay and discuss the answer, but I didn't expect that as soon as he came over, Qingying Niang pulled the root of his ear and raised Lao Gao: "Say, did you secretly hide money behind my back?"
Qingying's father suddenly realized that Yuezhuo was wearing his own clothes, and that dress was the one he secretly sewed a small cloth bag on his wife's back when the moon was dark and the wind was high!
Seeing the incident in the east window, I can't hide it if I find an excuse. Qingying's father also looked righteous, he didn't do anything wrong, but he saved money just because Qingyingniang's birthday was approaching, and he secretly wanted to give her a pair of bracelets.
Qing Yingniang was surprised and delighted, remembering that when the stall was closed a few days ago, she passed by the jewelry stall on the street on the way back, she just glanced at the silver bracelet more, but she didn't expect the girl and his father to remember it.
This is my aunt who saw the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Dad is really understanding." ”
Qing Yingniang was moved in her heart and warned him. After all, the family spends a lot of money, and now that there is one more person to eat, it is better to save some money.
Qingying saw her father's and mother's affectionate appearance, and her eyes were full of envy.
Although the porridge and mussels, tofu and cabbage, the days are as plain as water, but there is one person who accompanies them until they are old, which is enough.
