The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 416 Untitled
"This damn dog slave!"

Wang Xifeng lay on the bed sleepily, with her chin resting on the soft pillow, gnashing her two rows of white teeth.

When she saw Jiao Shun throwing away the dagger, she thought it was the dog who didn't dare to be rough on her, but who knew that she had prepared a thicker one later!
I think it has been seven or eight years since she married into the Rongguo Mansion. Regardless of the past two years, when the husband and wife were harmonious and happy, they never tasted those smelly smells and such pains. Lost consecutively in front of this dog slave!
Seeing Ping'er come in with tea, Wang Xifeng raised her snowy neck like a swan, and said proudly: "If you have time, go and tell that dog slave, and he will never touch a finger of my aunt again!"

Ping'er put the tea in front of the bed, covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "If grandma only explained this once, I'm afraid I may not remember it, why don't you wait three to five days for grandma to say it again, so that I can tell it to you verbatim." He listens."

Just one sentence, what can I not remember?
Ping'er's words, in fact, are sure that Wang Xifeng will heal the scar and forget the pain, and I'm afraid it's time to blame Jiao Shun for not striking while the iron is hot.

"You little hooves with elbows out!"

Wang Xifeng gave Ping'er a hard look, but she didn't deny Ping'er's remarks. If the eldest grandma Li Wan is a person who doesn't talk too much, this second grandma is a model of people who are addicted to vegetables.

What's more, Jiao Shun still knows how to show mercy to others. After avenging his revenge, he didn't "follow behind and chase after him", but pulled out to serve with care and attention.

The fault was that the pain was unbearable after returning home, and Wang Xifeng even forgot about it for a while.

Asking Ping'er to drink half a cup of tea, Wang Xifeng lay down on the bed again, and ordered: "Remember to go to the old lady and the wife's room to ask for a leave of absence for me, just say, just say that I accidentally slipped - you Set up a screen for me in front of this bed, and when the time comes, all those in charge will report through the screen."

Ping'er agreed, and called others to help take care of Wang Xifeng, and then went to the old lady's room first.

The old lady didn't ask any more questions, she just told Wang Xifeng to rest at home and it didn't matter if the affairs in the house were put aside for now.

When I got to Mrs. Wang's place, I naturally asked a lot of questions, but for some reason, Ping'er always felt that Mrs. Wang was a little out of control, and kept talking in a nonsensical manner, and asked the same question twice.

Although Ping'er wondered why she was like this, she didn't dare to ask about her master casually.

After reporting, he came out of the hut in Qingtang, and when he was passing by the Ou Xiangxie, he happened to bump into Jia Baoyu running out in a hurry.

Ping'er turned sideways to get out of the way, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Where is the third master going?"

"Forget it!"

Jia Baoyu waved his hands impatiently, and said angrily: "It's only been silent for half a month, I don't think the emperor will invite me into the palace again today!"

When Ping'er saw him like this, he knew that he must have neglected his homework recently, and was worried that he would be questioned by the emperor when he went to the palace.

Naturally, Ping'er doesn't care too much about these things. He was about to watch Baoyu take a step ahead, and then go home to report to Wang Xifeng. He didn't want to hear the car bell ringing behind him. At first, he thought it was Shi Xiangyun, but when he looked back, it was Yinger. Came here by bike.

"Second Master stay behind!"

Ying'er saw Jia Baoyu from a distance, shouted loudly and kicked her feet hard, and soon caught up with Baoyu who had stopped in her tracks. She jumped out of the car and rushed forward three or five steps before she stabilized her figure. He took out a small notebook from the cart basket, handed it to Baoyu, and said, "Our girl gave it to the second master. She said that it was too late to sharpen the gun before the battle."

Baoyu took it in his hand and found that it was the homework assigned to him by the previous emperor. The answers were very clear one by one, and he tried to analyze it from different angles. If you are interested, the girl will thank me first, and when I come back from the palace, I will go to the Hengwu courtyard to thank you face to face!"

As he said that, he gave Ying'er a fistful salute, and went excitedly with the cheat sheet.

After watching him go away, Ying'er first sighed helplessly, then turned her head and said to Ping'er: "Our girl has actually prepared this thing a long time ago, but the second master's temper... If I really took it out early in the morning, I'm afraid On the contrary, we should blame our girls for being troublesome."

Yinger's explanations are probably for Wang Xifeng and even Mrs. Wang.

Ping'er didn't answer, pointed to the bicycle that Ying'er was pushing, and asked with a smile, "This is Miss Shi Da's treasure, right? Fortunately, she is willing to lend you a ride."

"ah!"

Ying'er covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Sister didn't tell me, I almost forgot, this car has to be returned to Miss Shi."

Saying that, he apologized in a panic, and rode his bicycle as if flying away.

Seeing this, Ping'er couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, this is really close to the vermilion, the red is close to the ink, and the black is black. Ying'er was originally a very stable person, and she didn't want to be with Shi Xiangyun all day long, so she also became irritable.

…………

On the back of Zijin Street, there is an unnamed small temple.

Jiao Shun originally expected that after one or two months, Miaoyu would fall into a desperate situation without the support of her family, but he never expected that in just a few days, there would be trouble around this fake nun. Reverse in the nest.

The reason is that after writing the letter to the family, the four master and servant were unconsciously a little slack, and they were used to living a wealthy life before, so it was inevitable that they would be extravagant in expenses.

In just seven or eight days, nearly two-thirds of the money that was supposed to last until the middle of next month was spent.

The little nun Jingyi saw that going on like this was not a problem, so she proposed to let the two maids go out to do some odd jobs, so that they could use the money they earned to subsidize the family.

Such practices were understandable in the first place, but they laid the groundwork for future conflicts.

The two middle-aged servants are not locals, nor do they have the hard-working experience of the real bottom. The short-term workers they can find are despised, and the ones they like are not hired. The day's expenses are barely enough.

On the afternoon of the [-]th day, they simply returned empty-handed.

Jingyi inquired a few words, and the two maids were immediately annoyed, accusing Jingyi of sitting at home every day to enjoy the money, but still picking and choosing, it is clear that a full man does not know a hungry man.

Although the words were aimed at Jingyi, they affected Miaoyu with insinuations.

And Jingyi is also full of anger. Miaoyu has always been a master who stretches out her clothes to eat and opens her mouth. There are two servants who are rough envoys. She has to do all the big things and small things in this temple.

She felt that she supported three errands by herself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her hard work is high, but she was said to be enjoying the rewards by two servants who returned empty-handed. How can she hold back?

At that moment, the three of them quarreled in front of Miaoyu.

Miaoyu tried to mediate a few words but it didn't work, so she simply went to the main hall to chant sutras, out of sight and out of mind.

But even though they couldn't see it, the quarrel outside filled their ears.

In particular, the two servants kept accusing Jingyi of being too extravagant in various household expenses, but which one of these expenses was not spent on Miaoyu?

Miaoyu, who is proud and arrogant, never expected that she would be so downcast that she would be accused and scolded by her servants!
On the one hand, she resented the two servants for being ungrateful, and she should teach them a good lesson; on the other hand, she felt that arguing with such ordinary people would only lower her style—in addition, she was actually worried that if she still couldn't control the situation when she came forward, she would be killed in the future. I can't control these two servants at all.

"Amitabha~"

After thinking about it, she finally chose to stand still, knelt in front of the Buddha statue and muttered to herself, "What mistake did this disciple make to end up here?"

Naturally, the Buddha would not answer, but Miaoyu had an answer in his heart: if he hadn't been quick to speak and deny Ningguo Mansion in front of Baoyu, how could he have ended up in this situation?

But she refused to admit that it was a mistake - obviously she was just stating the facts.

"Amitabha~"

So Miaoyu proclaimed the Buddha's name again, implying to herself: "This must be the test given by the World Honored One to his disciples, and if he persists, he will persist until...naturally everything will return to the original state."

What she was looking forward to in her heart was naturally that the money would be sent from her family as soon as possible, but she also disliked the smell of copper, so she refused to announce it.

At this time Jingyi came in angrily and reported: "Senior sister, those two old guys didn't bring back a penny, and they may not be able to make any money tomorrow—the rice noodles and firewood can barely last for a few days. Xiang's money is a bit out of hand, you see..."

"No!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Miaoyu jumped up from the futon and said anxiously, "If there is no insect repellent incense, I won't be able to stay in this place for a day!"

"But……"

Jingyi's face collapsed, and she stammered, "Then, should I, should I, or..."

She said "or else" three times in a row, but she couldn't tell why.

Although Gain returned empty-handed compared to the two servants, she didn't feel that she was capable of earning the fees of the master and the servants.

Miaoyu sighed, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let me go back to the house and look for it to see what else is available."

After saying that, he took Jingyi back to the side hall which was used as a bedroom.

The two masters and servants rummaged through the boxes and chests, and finally found two decent clothes. Miaoyu twisted three buttons of coral stones from the undershirt, and asked Jingyi to carry them to the pawn shop. Pawn sale.

Jingyi came out of the alley, walked northwards and came to a pawnshop named 'Hengshu Dian'. Although she had only lived in Zijin Street for more than half a month, Jingyi was already a regular customer of this pawnshop. .

After entering the door, I stuffed the clothes and buttons through the hole under the railing with ease, and after a while, I heard the melodious voice inside: "Two pieces of clothes with broken threads, washed and faded clothes, and three rotten buttons with holes in them. A~!"

"That's plain white!"

Although Jingyi knew that this was the pawn shop's practice of lowering prices, she still couldn't help arguing: "Besides, don't your buttons have holes?"

Na Chaofeng looked down at Jingyi through the railing, and asked indifferently: "Three taels of silver, is it appropriate?"

"Why don't you go grab it?! Which of these two clothes can't be taken for less than ten taels of silver? And this button..."

Jingyi jumped up angrily. Last time when Dian was selling things, although the court tribute was picking and choosing to find faults, the price was still reasonable, but this time the price was simply outrageous.

"Then go and have a look elsewhere."

The court official didn't say a word, and returned the things from the cave entrance: "Anything with a higher price than this, just spit on me when you come back!"

"Hey, I'm too lazy to come!"

Jingyi grabbed the buttons of her clothes angrily, and rushed out of the door angrily.

The apprentice who was silently cleaning the counter next to him chased him out the door and looked outside, then returned to the room and said hesitantly: "Shopkeeper, this... this thing is a little over three taels of silver, right? What if she is somewhere else..."

"You'll find out in a while."

That Chaofeng looked confident.

as predicted.

Half an hour later, just as 'Heng Shu Dian' was about to close, Jing Yi walked in silently again, and stuffed the buttons of her clothes through the opening.

Chao Feng glanced at it for a few moments, then raised his voice and asked, "Two taels of eight silver, is it appropriate?"

"you!"

Jingyi said angrily: "Didn't you just say it was three taels of silver?!"

Chao Feng immediately made a gesture to return the things, but the same words were still in his mouth: "Why don't you go to another place, if there is something higher than this price, come back and spit on me..."

"It's done!"

Jingyi gritted her silver teeth and interrupted Chaofeng's routine.

The court official immediately ordered the apprentice to weigh the silver for Jing Yi, and then watched her go out with a smile on his face.

The apprentice was speechless looking at the side. At this time, he couldn't help going forward and looking at the button of the clothes. Finally, he scratched his head and said, "Shopkeeper, how can I see that these things can be worth at least 15 taels? What's the problem? What do I do?" Can't you see it?"

"Ha ha."

Chao Feng smiled slightly: "There is nothing wrong with things, but there are problems with people."

The apprentice thought he had grasped the point, and suddenly said, "You mean this is stolen goods?"

"If it was stolen by thieves, it would be worth at least five taels."

Chao Feng sneered: "This little nun has offended the nobleman! To tell you the truth, all the pawnshops around here have been notified, and the farther away they are, the more they will severely suppress her price. If she doesn't sell us, who else can she sell it to?" ?”

Then, he wrapped the button of the clothes in a bundle and passed it to the apprentice through the fence: "Send this thing to Jiao's mansion."

"Which Jiao Mansion?"

"Naturally, it's the residence of Mr. Jiao, the head of the Department of Affairs of the Ministry of Industry."

"I know, I know, it's the one who's always been scolded recently!"

The apprentice looked excited: "It is said that he is a national traitor, so this little nun is not a loyal queen, is she? Like the orphan in the play?"

"Orphan of the Zhao family."

Chao Feng cleared his confusion, and immediately urged: "Hurry up and send the things."

The apprentice agreed and hurried away with his things.

After about a quarter of an hour, the apprentice trotted back. Seeing that Chaofeng was still writing something at his desk, he said with a smile, "Boss, I've already delivered the things. Do you think there is anything else to do?"

While speaking, his eyes were full of hope, he only hoped that Chaofeng would say 'nothing', so that he could go to the board to rest earlier.

But he listened to Chao Feng's order without raising his head: "Go out and close the door from the outside."

"Hey."

The apprentice readily complied, and was about to go out, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked back at Chao Feng in astonishment: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?"

"You've been fired, go home early before it's dark."

"why?!"

"why?"

Chao Feng pointed to the plaque outside the door and asked: "Who is the owner of our Hengshu Dian?"

"Ziwei Sheren Xue's family, this little one still doesn't know?"

"Where is Mrs. Xue's family now?"

"Rongguo Mansion, you say it eight times a day!"

"Where is Uncle Jiao now?"

"It seems, it seems to be in the Rongguo Mansion, the newspaper said..."

"Humph~"

Chao Feng sneered: "Isn't this the end? We are not greedy or lazy in this line of work, and we are not open-eyed! You dare to talk about Uncle Jiao's affairs. If I don't dismiss you, don't you want to be punished in the future?" Are you implicated?!"
