box of hearts

Chapter 39: Welcome the Cyclamen (4)
When Grandma Qiu heard that she really asked for money, she felt more uncomfortable than poking her heart. She yelled, "Where is the money? I don't have any money, get out of the way!" Leading the maids to block the way, all of them are coquettish and ruthless, showing their teeth and claws.In desperation, Grandma Qiu had no choice but to walk back by herself, "Tell them to get out of the way."

Qingtian put his hands together, and cast a cold look, "Grandma, I advise you to pay the money as soon as possible, otherwise before you start to receive guests, all the people who come and go are loud people from the officialdom, turn around and see them in this place." Mrs. Yushi, what is it to say to go out? It’s a "prostitution" to run to the kiln, commit seven crimes[2], be careful to be dragged away by someone else's man as a fan. Turn back and be abandoned by Mr. Yushi to go out If you don't want to be a shepherd, I'm afraid you can't help grandma."

Grandma Qiu was startled and angry, and became more and more stupid.Xiangxia and Die Xianye behind laughed a few times, and even let out their sharp teeth: "Grandma, you keep calling us pheasants, but let me tell you, we are really not. We are the first-class small class here, the head of the upper hall, the public All Hou and Wangjue have to post please. In our business, only grandma comes to the hall to solicit customers by herself, and that's called pheasant!"

"Grandma, 300 taels of silver, isn't this a drop in the bucket when you're old? Anyway, you have to give it, and it's just a matter of time and money. Could it be that we sisters scolded us more? To tell you the truth Old man, we haven't shown our real kung fu for a while, if you like to hear it, we sisters dare to say anything."

Fengqin blinked her eyes, leaned on the fence and stood on tiptoe, afraid of falling behind, "That's right, grandma, I can't scold you, beat me, look at the few people you brought with me, they are either old or young, let alone us There are so many people, and if you just say your identity and fight with us, isn’t it an anecdote through the ages? Let’s spend money and eliminate disasters.”

At this time, Grandma Qiu knew that Mao had made a big mistake in running into a brothel. She was a golden phoenix that stepped into a chicken coop, but unfortunately, a phoenix that fell was not as good as a chicken.With a heartbeat, he stomped his feet, "Mother Xiang, bring me the money!"

The servant woman spread her hands with a bitter face, "Grandma, you have no money, who has nothing to do with carrying hundreds of silver bills with you?"

Grandma Qiu immediately puffed her chest out at Qingtian, "Did you hear that? It's not that I won't give it, I have no money!"

Qingtian Zhizhi said: "Look at what grandma said, grandma is famous for being a 'money pot', grandma has no money, who has money? Grandma's root hair is also thicker than our waist. If grandma really went out without bringing Cash money, real gold and silver can also be used. This outfit, hey——, or I see it like this, grandma, the gold beam crown on your head is well-made, and it is not worth three hundred or less. away, take it off, grandma will leave on her own.”

The so-called golden beam crown is a kind of hair mask.Married women tie their hair on the top, and usually wear a bun on top of their hair. Poor housewives use wigs and ponytails to braid the buns, while expensive ones use gold and silver threads.Although the golden beam crown on Grandma Qiu's head is not comparable to the royal pearl crown, it is also embellished with emerald emeralds and dazzles the glory. It is obvious at a glance that it belongs to a high-grade lady. If she took it off, it would be tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. .Grandma Qiu refused, and spat loudly: "Bah! Bah, bah, bah! I don't even look at what role you are. Want my wife's golden beam crown? In your next life!"

Just when there was chaos, I suddenly heard a "Grandma!" with a clear and childish voice. Grandma Qiu opened her eyes to look for it, but saw a delicate young lady with combed hair and double skirts came out from the corridor. walked up to her, and gave a slight salute, "Grandma Wanfu, the maidservant here is from Qinghua, and I greeted grandma. Grandma is new here, and I am also a newcomer. I just learned some rules and told grandma. Listen. The mother in charge of the class here has always taught me that the small class waiter pays more attention to clothes and appearance. The clothes are not neat and the appearance is not repaired. She didn't ask anyone to notify her, so she rushed straight in. My sister Qingtian just washed her hair when she got up early. Her hair is so cluttered, and her face has never been powdered. Grandma saw her like this. , just like a girl from a good family who is bare-chested and bare-chested is the same as being seen by strangers. This is "indecent". Since grandma insulted my sister, she took off the golden beam crown on her head, which also means "taking off the hairpin to apologize". .”

Ever since Zhao Hua was sold into Huai Ya Tang, not only was her life saved by Qing Tian, ​​but she also relied on Qing Tian's help in everything, so she has long been grateful for the repayment.Encountering this provocation today, I want to express my support many times, but it is better to say a few old fritters to Xia, and I am so anxious that I can't get in my mouth.When Qingtian announced that he wanted to take Grandma Qiu's golden beam crown, others still didn't understand what it meant, but she guessed the general idea, and deliberately snatched it up to explain it.Sure enough, looking sideways, Qing Tian also winked at her, like a pair of jewel-embedded earrings or a flower bead ring exchanged between close sisters, a little bit of mutual understanding.

Zhaohua pursed the corners of her mouth in relief, stopped talking, just leaned aside to watch Qingtian solemnly turn to Grandma Qiu and said: "Grandma, my sister is right, please take off your crown."

Grandma Qiu was so annoyed that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "What? My dignified second rank orders me to apologize to you, a coquettish pheasant? Send your mother's big dream of spring and autumn!"

"If grandma refuses, I'm afraid today's situation will end badly."

"What's wrong with ending it? I would like to advise you, accept it as soon as you see it, and let my wife go obediently, otherwise you will have a big problem!"

Qingtian smiled cunningly, the sea of ​​bitterness in his heart that he couldn't vomit even after drinking thousands of catties of spirits was now condensed into cold anger, and it was only Grandma Qiu's bad luck to bump into someone.

"Not busy, my big event is yet to come, but grandma's big event is just around the corner."

"Hmph, what's the big deal for me?"

"If you don't take off your crown, I'll ask a few turtles to come up and catch you all and rape them all. Then the Yushifu will be very embarrassing."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.Grandma Qiu's group of maids did not lose their colors in shock, and a ten-year-old servant girl was so frightened that she shed tears on the spot.Grandma Qiu was also out of her wits, "How dare you!"

"Why don't I dare? Mu Yun, go, ask Cao Wang'er to pick some healthy brothers, and tell them that there is a big job."

"Duan Qingtian!" Grandma Qiu howled anxiously, "Do you still have the law?!"

Qingtian sneered and replied: "There is no law that can protect grandma. Grandma doesn't believe it. She keeps her dirty little clothes when she goes back. She can just sue her. Even if the lawsuit goes to the Golden Palace, she can't win the case. What's so strange about adultery in the hall?" Mu Yun, why are you standing still, didn’t you see the ladies waiting to greet you?”

"Yes, the servant will go here."

"Wait a minute!" In desperation, Grandma Qiu asked for help and looked around.Among the family members I brought was a woman who seemed to be very sophisticated. At this time, she stepped forward shyly and smiled at Qingtian, "Girl, everyone said that you are all knowledgeable and polite, how can you do such a thing?" Undignified things? Although I don't have grandma's permission, I just use this old face to apologize to the girl on behalf of grandma. Girl, please be calm, let's get together and break up, can we make it?"

"Yes, girl." The woman who spoke earlier also answered, and laughed, with heavy creases in the corners of her eyes, "If you don't look at anything else, just look at it for the sake of our master."

"Isn't it?" A big servant girl next to Grandma Qiu was also a little timid, and persuaded eloquently, "Miss, think about it, if you are lucky, one day our master will ask you to go back and be a child, isn't it?" Want to see grandma's eyebrows raised and eyes lowered?"

"Yes, girl, don't care about your head and your buttocks, just want to have fun for a while."

"Girl, we said this for your own good, do you think about it?"

"Girl, say something."

"Girl, did you hear what we said?"

"Girl, what do you mean, give me a word."

……

After talking a lot, Grandma Qiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at Qingtian: "Hey, you answered me!"

Only then did Qingtian turn his arrogant gaze, and glanced lazily, "When did grandma ever see a dog barking and a person answering?"

Not to mention that the servants of the Qiu family were ashamed, and Grandma Qiu almost lost her breath, but she had to put away the last sliver of prestige, and it took a lot of effort to smile, which is worse than crying. Ugly, "Okay, okay, I personally apologize to you. I was reckless today, and you don't count my faults, and I don't count your faults, so it's evened."

Qing Tian didn't see a slight change in expression, "Grandma, stop talking nonsense."

"Tsk, why are you so ignorant? You are just a prostitute. I, a court lady, subdued you in front of so many people, and you have won all. What else do you want?"

"What do I think, I just made it clear."

"You are so short that you can't get off the ladder, right?"

"Grandma is old and deaf? If you didn't hear the truth, I'll say it again. What I, Duan Qingtian, don't want is a ladder, but a golden crown on your head."

Grandma Qiu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Duan Qingtian, our master has been in your business for so many years, anyway, I am also his wife, what good is it if you make me collapse?"

There was a cold sneer hanging from the corner of Qingtian's mouth, "Grandma will be your wife in the house, who will ruin your reputation? It turns out that grandma didn't respect her and came to our place. Don't want to go back with respect."

"I say--"

"Grandma, even if you say you broke the sky, you have to take off the golden beam crown today!" Qingtian folded his arms coldly, determined.

Grandma Qiu couldn't stop shaking, her face was sallow.After a little while, he moved his trembling hand forward, "Okay, okay, you're cruel..." After murmuring for a while, he stood up as if death was at home, "Xiang Ma, take the crown for my wife! Think it was Lu Yu who was robbed by a thief!"
