Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 17

Ling Qiong left the Anqiong Hall, got out of the secret door, sternly told the doorman a few words, then asked the maid Ling Jing where she was now, got the position, and went straight to the accounting room.

Ling Jing was sitting in the accounting room counting her family's mid-month expenses. When she saw Ling Qiong raising the curtain and entering the room, she said with a smile on her face, "So fast?"

Ling Qiong raised her chin with a proud look, sat on the chair with dignity, gave herself a thumbs up, and said, "I don't even know who is going to do the work. This girl is going to take action, and I can take care of both."

Ling Jing smiled fondly, shook her head slightly, and continued to write the account books.

Ling Qiong had a lingering smile at the corner of her eyes. She slowly stood up and moved, lying on the couch with her waist lazily stretched out. She propped up one leg, grabbed a handful of fried beans and threw it into her mouth. She didn't know what kind of fun she thought of. , she chuckled.

She shook her head and said, "Monk, hey, what a monk."

Ling Jing glanced at her, too lazy to pay attention to her. She had an old habit of nagging her from time to time. She was extremely ill and could not be cured.

Ling Qiong smiled fondly as she recalled it and said, "The little monk is really interesting."

Ling Jing rolled her eyes at her, closed her account book, and said jokingly: "Why, she is more interesting than the top lady in the Jinfeng Yulu Building? First, let's put away all the extravagant thoughts in your head. Let me ask you, are you again?" Did you give Acen a sign?"

"Ah? What? What brand?" Ling Qiong pretended to be dumbfounded. When she saw something was wrong, she immediately rubbed oil on the soles of her feet, "Ouch, I just remembered something else and almost forgot it. Look at my memory, I almost made a mistake. It's a big deal. Take the first step and we'll talk about it later."

Before he finished speaking, he had already slipped out of the door.

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Ling Jing sighed helplessly, holding her forehead, "No one in the family can worry."

She straightened her desk, turned around and went out to wait in Ling Cen's yard. Ling Cen couldn't hold on to the money, he was just a prodigal who never gave up and did everything based on personal preferences. Even if he was given a mountain of gold and silver, he would lose everything.

No one in the family can pamper Ling Cen. He has been raised freely since he was a child. If he doesn't control his reckless temperament, plus newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, he will be a lawless second generation ancestor.

Ling Huai returned home from school. Before he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Ling Dang's personal maid waiting outside the door.

The maid called him tremblingly, "Fifth Young Master."

Ling Huai glanced at the boy guarding the door, still strolling leisurely, and said indifferently: "What's the matter."

The maid lowered her eyebrows and followed him into the courtyard, "Fourth girl asked the maid to return the book."

Ling Huai opened the door and went straight to the inner room.

He stopped and turned around. The maid had already knelt down. She said sadly and sincerely: "Master, I have thought about it. The master is merciful and spares my life. From yesterday, my life belongs to you, master. From now on From now on, I will be at your disposal, young master, and I will never disobey it! If I disobey it, I will die badly!"

Ling Huai put down the books he had brought to the academy for lectures, walked around to sit behind the desk, and said, "What's it called?"

"Reply to the young master, my maid, Kui Qing."

"What did A Dang do at home today?"

Kwai Ching reported to him 1510.

Ling Huai listened intently. When the maid stopped speaking, he took out a small and exquisite box from his arms and pushed it gently to the edge of the table.

He said, "You know what to do?"

Kui Qing held the box with both hands, bowed and saluted, "My maid understands."

"Go back."

Kui Qing put away the box and walked quickly out of the courtyard. Just as he was about to turn the corner to go to the inner courtyard, Ling Jinglian stepped out of the door and happened to bump into her.

Ling Huai's and Ling Cen's courtyards are adjacent to each other, so it is inevitable to meet each other when going in and out.

Kui Qing was a little panicked, and hurriedly bent down to salute, hiding her face, and called out: "Third Miss."

Ling Jing looked her up and down, her eyebrows slightly raised, "If you don't look after Ah Dang carefully, what are you doing in Ah Huai's yard?"

Kui Qing endured her pounding heart and said: "To answer my question, the fourth girl was at home a few days ago and had nothing to do. She borrowed a book from the fifth young master to read through it. Today I just finished reading it. It happened that the maid had nothing to do, so she Order your maid to come and return the book."

Ling Jingruo said "Oh" nonchalantly, and after a while of silence, she spoke slowly, telling Kui Qing not to stay out for too long, and urging her to go back quickly. As she was talking, she suddenly changed the topic, as if she was trying to kill someone, and asked straight at the door of life: "What book?"

Kui Qing shrank her neck and replied to her as lowly as a mosquito: "My maid can't read."

Ling Jing pursed her lips, exhaled a breath, waved her hand casually, and said: "Forget it, go back quickly. Later, I will ask a teacher to come to the house and teach you a few words. Don't go to the young masters' courtyard on weekdays. Run, the young master and the girl are getting older day by day, and there are no rules to avoid when moving, sitting, or sleeping. A Dang is bored at home. If he really wants to borrow some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he can just go to my room and ask the housekeeper to get it. The young master wants to study. Don't bother me all the time. Also, if A Dang wants to go somewhere, just tell me and I will arrange the outing."

Kui Qing swallowed and whispered, "Yes."

Ling Jing watched Kui Qing go away and whispered, "I always feel like there is something wrong with this girl."

She looked sideways at Ling Huai's Cuisong Courtyard again, pondered for a while, and felt uneasy. She suspected that Ling Huai was doing mischief behind her back again, and said to the maid beside her: "Wait here. If you see A Cen come back, immediately come." Come and let me know.”

Ling Jing came uninvited, Ling Huai raised his eyelids, kept writing in his hand, and said, "Is there anything important that is worth bothering you to come to this humble house?"

"I can't go into your house if I have nothing to do." Ling Jing's fingertips touched the leaves of a pot of orchid placed at the corner of his desk, "The flowers are well grown."

She glanced casually and saw a pair of porcelain Fudolls placed in front of the inkstone. It was normal to place such small gadgets on the desk, but the pair in front of her were so ugly that they had no nose or eyes.

Ling Jing reached out to get it.

Unexpectedly, Ling Huai seemed not to be paying attention to her, but in fact he was keeping an eye on her and knew her next move in advance, so he could get ahead of her and take it back to himself.

Ling Huai said: "Private collection, not loaned out."

Ling Jing snorted lightly, and slowly took back her failed hand as if nothing was wrong.

You can use your toes to guess who made that thing.

She really couldn't understand why Ah Dang always had a soft spot for these weird and ugly things. Normally her aesthetics is normal, but when she encounters someone shockingly ugly, she immediately treats it like a treasure and can't wait to take it into her arms.

There are a lot of rare and beautiful things, but there is really only one rare and ugly thing.

Growing up eating from the same pot, each one developed his own unique personality.

Ling Jing was not interested in the touch. She had already stopped thinking about chatting with Ling Huai. She turned around and walked out, muttering: "Look at the stingy and not touching it. It's not a rare treasure."

"As long as I'm rare." Ling Huai put his hand back and straightened it up. He raised his eyes and said maliciously, "Speaking of rare treasures, third sister, if you stare at me, you might as well keep an eye on Acen and Xiao seven."

Ling Jing stamped her feet and turned her face to look at him, "What do you mean?" Ling Huai stroked Fuwa carefully with his fingertips and said, "One secretly raised a yard of rare treasures, and the other secretly hid a whole bed of raw and cooked treasures. Snacks. If you don't care anymore, one of them will have to test his talent with the servants in the house, and the other will have to grow sideways."

Ling Jing left the hospital feeling angry. The maid guarding Ling Cen outside the courtyard hurriedly stepped forward to reply, "Young Master Six has not returned to the house yet."

"It's a good thing you haven't come back." Ling Jing's face was filled with gloom. She held up her skirt and strode into Ling Cen's Chongbai Courtyard. She stood at the door and said in a deep voice, "Come here, search for me!"

"Mother Chuaihua, take a few maids to Master Seventh's house and search under his bed! Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to feed him anything except three square meals a day!"

The sunset on the west mountain, the red clouds flying, make people feel happy.

However, the Ling family was not at all happy. In the center of the main hall, Ling Cen and Ling An were kneeling side by side.

In front of the long desk in the hall, there are jars and jars of insects on the floor, big and small, round, flat and square. On the other side, there are all kinds of snacks that are half dismantled and broken.

Ling Jing grabbed the French stick aggressively, but Ling Qiong pulled hard at the side to prevent her from coming forward.

Ling Cen knelt on the ground and howled at the top of his lungs, "Third sister, please don't hit me, I'm afraid of pain. I've lost my mother and my father. No one cares about me since I was a child. No one plays with me. Only those bugs don't dislike me..." "

Ling An had round arms and round legs and was kneeling irregularly. His mother-in-law hugged him and knelt on the futon. He held his mouth and held on to the corners of his clothes. With a pair of red rabbit eyes, he looked at the snacks that were collected in front of him. Tears ran down his plump little belly. The face fell down bit by bit.

Ling Dang hid behind the pillar and watched a family crisis break out.

Although Ling Cen cried loudly, in fact, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. He was bluffing and pretending to be pitiful, without any remorse.

Not to mention Ling An, who was not even high enough to kneel down and looked pitiful with tears in his eyes. What he felt wronged was that he had hidden his private room and flew out with full-length wings overnight.

"Shut up!"

Ling Jing scolded Ling Cen, which frightened him so much that he suddenly stopped his voice. He stopped it too quickly and burped again.

Ling An complained with tears in his eyes: "Every family is bad!"

Ling Jing laughed angrily, "Am I bad? Look at these things you have hidden. Which of them can be eaten? Whose stomach is it if you eat it? Am I the one who has a stomachache? I am short of you, you are short of food, you are short of drinking, and you will be blamed for it. Zi Qiancheng is so virtuous?! I am confused, why are there old and young things in the house? Of the melons and fruits on the table yesterday, there will only be three melons and two dates left tomorrow morning. It turns out that it is so difficult to guard against house thieves!"

She turned her eyes and stared at Ling Cen, "And you! I just said that the medicinal materials stored in the house are never enough. You have to go home after school every day. No matter how much money you have, it won't be enough for you. In the end Are you leaving supplies outside your home to feed the bugs?!"

Ling Qiong hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over, "Calm down, we're still just kids. What do we know? Why bother being like them?"

"It's precisely because they don't understand that we have to teach them sense! Know right from wrong!" Ling Jing turned back quickly, "Sister, you too! Don't come and get along! It's you who got used to knowing who the world is and how high it is! You can make a fortune on your own Count the money. If A-Chen wants a sign, you give him a sign. If Xiaoqi wants something to eat, you carry it home every day. If they want the stars or the moon, you dare to nod and bring the ladder to pick them! Whose child is as spoiled as you?!"

Ling Qiong nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll review it, I'll correct it, I'll correct it. If you have something to say, don't take it out on the children. If you hit them in anger now, it's your turn to feel sorry for you and wipe your tears. Forget it. Forget it, let’s eat first, we’re already hungry, wait until we’re full…”

In the end, it was all thanks to Ling Qiong's sharp tongue that he was spared a painful meal.

Ling Cen and Ling An were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on their mistakes.

Ling Jing issued a ban, not allowing anyone to visit and feed her.

The watchman knocked on the clapper three times.

Ling Dang put on a cloak and got out of bed, walked downstairs quietly, and sneaked into the ancestral hall under the dim moonlight.

"Acen, Xiaoqi, are you asleep?"

"Fourth sister?" Ling Cen said with joy, "Xiaoqi, wake up quickly, don't sleep, fourth sister is here."

Ling Dang entered the room holding a handful of snacks, "Eat quickly."

Ling Cen devoured the food and mumbled, "I haven't been hungry for a long time."

Ling An fell asleep in a daze, and Ling Dang shook him awake. He rubbed his eyes, and it took him a while to wake up completely. As soon as he saw her, his eyes immediately turned red, and tears rolled down like strings of beads.

He whimpered and stuffed the snacks into his mouth.

Lingdang rubbed his back and coaxed him in a low voice.

Ling Cen looked at her eagerly and said, "Fourth sister, tell me the truth, was it you who told the secret?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes."

Ling Dang directly gave him an iron sand palm to hit his head.

She grabbed his ear and said, "Do you really think everyone else is a fool? You gave the mixed snacks and fruits to the maids and boys to eat. Every time you ate them, you would either get a stomachache or have vomiting and diarrhea, and everyone would feel dizzy. There is also a red rash. Once it happens more than once, who can’t guess that you have tampered with it? You need to be smarter.”

"Besides, if I am really willing to sue you, am I willing to go with Xiao Qi and suffer the consequences with you? After all, it is what you did wrong. You are cultivating poison and no one can stop you, but You should never inflict it on your own family. If you use the poison in the right place, who will be willing to say something wrong to you?"

Ling Cen frowned and retorted with dissatisfaction: "How could I poison my own family?"

Ling Dang slapped him on the head again and lectured: "My servants are also our own family members. They are all human beings. They cannot turn into monsters with just a few strokes."

Ling Cen held his head and said aggrievedly: "Why do you stick to me and fight alone? It's obvious that Xiao Qi is also at fault! Just talk about me and not him, you are partial!"

Ling Dang said confidently: "Xiao Qi had a sense of self-protection when he was hungry because he had nothing to eat when he was a child, so he has the habit of hiding food. If you have read a book, you can distinguish right from wrong, so how can they be confused."

Ling Cen was furious, lying on the ground with his back to her, "I won't tell you anymore, whatever you say is reasonable. Hum, I can see clearly, if Xiao Qi wasn't here, you wouldn't come. Fifth brother and I Same, they were picked up. You all fawn over the fifth brother if he can study. If I can't study well, you all dislike me. Anyway, no one in this family will feel sorry for me, so I should go out to beg for food. No matter what, there is no one. It hurts, but I feel comfortable being a beggar.”

"Just make a wish." Ling Dang pushed his shoulder, "It will come true when the time comes."

Ling Dang coaxed Ling An to sleep, next to Ling Cen, he put him to sleep and put the cloaks on them and tucked them tightly.

She stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. You take good care of Xiao Qi."

When she didn't get a response from Ling Cen, she stopped again, turned around and said with a smile: "If Third Sister is really willing to punish you, there will be no one left guarding the door. Don't think nonsense, the palms of the family are connected with the backs of the hands, no matter what Any injury will hurt. Go and admit your mistake tomorrow quickly, and if you have any questions, talk to us face to face. Acen, did you hear that?"

Ling Cengu shuddered and said impatiently: "I know, I know, I'm so annoyed. You should leave quickly."

Ling Dang opened the door and bumped into Ling Huai standing outside.

　If someone has a compliment, please leave a message if you have something to say. If you have a ticket, please give me a ticket. I hope you will support me.
