After reconciliation, Hou Ye chased his wife to the crematorium

Chapter 35 Quarrel
Gu Man nodded, it was indeed Xiaoqin.

But why did she come to the pawn shop?Is she going to be something?

Gu Man and Ji Moyan quietly hid aside, and after Xiaoqin left nervously with a bag of money, Gu Man and Ji Moyan walked into the pawnshop.

At this time, the owner of the pawn shop was packing up the things that Xiaoqin had pawned just now, his face was full of pride in taking advantage of it.

Gu Man looked over, it was a pile of golden jewelry, and it was Liu Xiaoxiang's favorite jewelry that she often wore on her head!

Because Liu Xiaoxiang always reaches out to touch her headgear from time to time, and every time she touches it, Gu Man can't help but look along Liu Xiaoxiang's hand, so she is very familiar with Liu Xiaoxiang's jewelry.

Seeing Gu Man and Ji Moyan, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop hurriedly put away a bag of jewelry, looked at the two with a smile on his face, and asked earnestly, "What do you two want to be? What to buy?"

Gu Man said: "I see that the jewelry in the hands of the shopkeeper is not bad, how can I sell it?"

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop said with a smile: "Young Master, you have good eyes! This pile of jewelry was redeemed by someone else. If you don't want to redeem it, I also collected it at a high price! Look at your face, if you like it, then I will buy it." If you sell it to the young master, the young master will come to visit the shop often!"

Gu Man smiled, but did not speak.

Back at the Hou's Mansion, Gu Man looked at the table of glittering jewelry. Some jewelry styles were very old, but the patterns and textures on them were well preserved, just like new ones.Presumably Liu Xiaoxiang must cherish these jewelry very much on weekdays.

But why did she pawn these jewelry?And it's still a dead contract, the kind that won't be redeemed!

Did Xiaoqin steal it?

Gu Man shook her head, no, there are so many jewelry, and they are all Liu Xiaoxiang's favorite, if Xiaoqin was not going to run away immediately after making jewelry, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to steal so many jewelry at once so stupidly.What's more, when Gu Man and Ji Moyan returned to the house, they saw her in the yard.

Then, it can only be Liu Xiaoxiang's own choice.

Does she need money?
The food, drink, clothing and clothes in this mansion are all distributed by the Hou Mansion according to the rules. Except for the occasional rewards for servants who use money, there is basically no need for money at other times, but she needs money very much?

strange!
After Qing'er came back, she saw Gu Man staring at a pile of jewelry in a daze. The jewelry was shiny and golden. For some reason, the eldest lady bought so many jewelry. The wife obviously didn't like wearing jewelry, and said that the headdress hurt her head .

Moreover, those jewelry look very gorgeous, not at all like the taste of the eldest lady, but similar to the taste of Liu Xiaozhu.

Qing'er softly called "Elder Madam", and after Gu Man came back to her senses, she stepped forward and said, "Eldest Madam, the money has already been delivered to Little Madam."

Gu Man nodded, and then ordered Qing'er to put away the jewelry.

To be honest, when Gu Man was carrying a bag of heavy jewelry in her hands, she herself didn't understand.

Why did she help Liu Xiaoxiang redeem the jewelry?

……

After two months of getting along, Qing'er is obviously bolder than before. When talking to Gu Man, she will occasionally act coquettishly with Gu Man.

"Ma'am, when can we have sweet-scented osmanthus crisps again?"

Osmanthus halva is a small snack that Gu Man made in his spare time.

When she was bored in the Hou Mansion, Gu Man would always cook some food to pass the time.

And she also likes to cook, she even thought about it, and when she got He Lishu, she would go to Jiangnan to open a restaurant!

Gu Man smiled and said: "If you want to eat, Da Furen will make it for you now!"

Qing'er clapped her hands happily and said, "The lady is so kind!"

Gu Man took Qing'er to the kitchen to make sweet-scented osmanthus candies, and after a while, the candies were ready.

Then Gu Man divided the sweet-scented osmanthus crisp candy into three portions, sent one to Ji Moyan, kept one in the kitchen, and let Qing'er take the other back to share with the little sisters in the courtyard.

Qing'er took the sweet-scented osmanthus candy with a smile, thanked Gu Man, and happily went to find her little sister.

The waiter seven in the kitchen also thanked Gu Man for his reward with a big smile on his face.

Men like them don't like sweets, but their wives and children love them very much, and they often praise the lady's craftsmanship.

Gu Man, on the other hand, felt that coming to the kitchen would affect other people's work, and she didn't have to wash the pots and dishes to clean up the mess. up.

After Gu Man came out of the kitchen, it was almost evening.

The red sun gradually sinks, and the weather is no longer so hot and restless.

Gu Man walked slowly towards her yard, halfway, but suddenly heard a low-pitched noise.

Gu Man pricked up her ears and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Not far away, a very plainly dressed woman was flirting with a man about 50 or [-] years old.

The man was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked sloppy.

And beside the two of them stood a maid, struggling to pull the man's hand from the woman's arm.

The woman turned her back to Gu Man, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but Gu Man could really see the maid's face.

That's Liu Xiaoxiang's maid, Xiaoqin.

So, the very plainly dressed one is Liu Xiaoxiang?

how is this possible?Liu Xiaoxiang would never go out unless she dressed herself up as a glittering golden peacock. What happened?
Gu Man pricked up her ears and tried hard to listen.

The man shook the bulging purse in his hand, and said to Liu Xiaoxiang: "Don't tell me you don't have any money. You have been in the Marquis's mansion for three full years, how could you have such a small savings?" Are you so easy to deceive when you think your father and I are a three-year-old child? Tell you, I will come to you again in three days, and then I will give you 100 taels of silver! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"100 taels?" Liu Xiaoxiang screamed, and then hurriedly looked around, and after making sure that there was no one there, she lowered her voice and said, "Do you think I'm the owner of a bank? Where did I get the 100 taels for you?" ! Today, the 50 taels I barely got together by selling all the jewelry and clothes, are you trying to force me to death?!"

Those jewelry are only 50 taels?

But the pawnshop owner charged me 100 taels!That profiteer! !

Gu Man was furious.

At this moment, the man said with a naughty smile: "This is your business. Don't forget, you sent me to prison three years ago. Now I have been released after serving my sentence and have no source of income. You have been comfortable in this Hou's mansion for another three years, and it is time to make up for what you did to Lao Tzu, now you are only asking for a few taels of pension money, why be so stingy!"

The man threatened: "Anyway, if you don't get 100 taels after three days, I'll call a group of gangsters to shout at the gate of the Hou's mansion every day, 'Unfilial to parents, heartless'. Turn the world upside down, what will your Lord Marquis think of you then?"

Liu Xiaoxiang said bitterly: "Master Hou sent you to jail at the beginning, if you have the ability, go find him to commit crimes! Let's see if Master Hou will spare your life or not!"

But the man smiled and said: "You think I'm stupid? As long as I have my good girl who is filial and respectful, why bother to provoke Lord Hou? But, if you let your old man and I spend our old age in peace, and the money is in place, then I I will definitely let you continue to be a concubine in the Hou's mansion comfortably, but if you don't let me live comfortably, you don't want to live comfortably either! We will die and die! Hey! Don't say much, dad is gone, three I'll see you in the next day! Hahaha..."

The man triumphantly shook the purse in his hand, and walked unsteadily towards the back door.

Gu Man also quietly left the scene.
