The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 25 Gifts
Li Jiu was taken aback, and then kowtowed happily, "Thank you benefactor, don't say one, but ten or twenty. Li Jiu has no complaints, but I don't know, what benefactor asked Li Jiu to do?"

I took a few steps and said, "I only need to do one thing for now. As for what to do..."

After hooking his fingers, Li Jiu immediately came over. After listening, he looked at me incredulously, "Grandfather, are you kidding me? Li Jiu has already said that he wants to be a new man, why did he still let me..."

I smiled slightly, "Why, don't you want to? Didn't you still say you want to respect me just now?"

Li Jiu said nothing, raised his head to look at me for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just listen to benefactor, what benefactor asked me to do has its own reason!"

I nodded, told him some other things to do, took out a bank note and gave him "Do everything as I said, you go."

Li Jiu said yes, turned around to leave, then turned back and asked, "Engong, Li Jiu doesn't know your name yet, how can I contact Engong after I'm done?"

"The name is just a title, you can call me Mr. Mu. As for the contact..."

I thought about it, and said, "At the end of the seven days, I will eat at the first restaurant in Shiliu Lane, Xishi. If there is something else, just go and find me there."

"Yes. Li Jiu will start to do it now." He clasped his fists, turned around and left.After he walked out of the alley, Luzhu poked her head over and asked, "Miss, what exactly did you ask him to do? Also, if you give him money, aren't you afraid of fetching water from the bamboo basket?"

I laughed.

100 taels, even if you fetch water from a bamboo basket, it doesn't matter.As for what I asked him to do...

Hongye is shy by nature and doesn't know how to turn around. Although she said that some dignitaries have noticed her, it is still far from the effect I expected.

Since Li Jiu used to hang out with a bunch of market thugs, he should have many so-called friends around him.

I asked him to contact his friends again, spreading the word that there is a girl named Peony in Yinhonglou, who is enchanting and beautiful, and her dancing posture is incredible.At the same time, by the way, there is also a red leaf, which only sings but does not show up.

People are always curious. What you can see is certainly exciting, but what you can't see makes you feel itchy.

Knowing the enchanting peony, I am thinking about the red leaves that I have never seen before.The more you think about it, the more curious you become. The redder the peony, the higher the mystery of the red leaves.

Three become tigers.

Don't underestimate the common people, sometimes, they are the biggest promoters of spreading news.

I also gave him some money and asked him to win over some reliable people by the way, whether they are ordinary people or others, if they can be used by me in the future, even an ant will eat up the embankment if it is of its value into soil.

"Green Pearl, go back home."

"Yes, Miss." Lu Zhu replied, and we walked along the path to the General's Mansion. The strange thing was that when we reached the wall, the small door that was supposed to be open was actually tightly closed.Luzhu stepped forward and yelled a few times, but no one responded at all.

"Miss, what should I do? The door is locked from the inside." Lu Zhu was very nervous, the two of us have sneaked out these few times, if we were found out, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain.

I smiled slightly, "It's okay, let's go back through the gate."

"But, miss..."

"Listen to me, go!"

"Yes." Luzhu replied, and followed me with a bitter face.

It takes half a stick of incense to walk from the back door of the General’s Mansion to the main gate, and I have to pass a vegetable market, where there are a lot of cheap cosmetics and hairpins. It was a cheap hairpin, and she was asked to buy a few high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before going all the way back to the gate of the General's Mansion.

Sure enough, the housekeeper and the maid in charge of the backyard, Jinru, were waiting at the door.

Seeing me coming back, the old housekeeper ran over to salute first, "Miss, come back." Then he whispered to me, "Master is not here, I will have dessert later."

I nodded slightly, thanking him for his reminder.

"Miss, the mistress is here to invite you." Jinru bowed coldly, then turned to Luzhu and said, "You should follow along."

"Yes." Luzhu replied, looked at me uneasily, lowered her head, and followed behind her in small steps, and arrived at Da Furen's Tingxue Pavilion in a short while.

"Sister, you have to take good care of this matter. Miss Di's family in the general's mansion, how can she show her face at will. Now that the old general is not in the mansion, if it is said at this time, others will think that you are in the mansion and ignore her. Everything will make people laugh!"

From a distance, I heard the voice of the third lady. Her tone was extremely excited, as if I had done something outrageous just now.

Wu Wanhua, on the other hand, was calmer, and said flatly, "Sister, don't get excited. Qingmu will come later, so I need to ask why."

The third lady immediately said, "Oh my sister, what's the reason for asking? The maids in the house have already said that they went out after changing clothes, and it's not the first time. If Qingliu hadn't gone to her yard today to catch up with her, I don't know when it will be concealed.

In my opinion, we should go to the family law first and set up rules for her! "

Heh... reminiscing about the old days, thanks to her having the nerve to say so!

At this time, I had already reached the door, Jinru pulled up the curtain, and I strode into the room, only then did I realize that there were not only Wu Wanhua and the third wife in the room, but also the second wife and Su Qingyue.

This is interesting.

I smiled slightly, first saluted the mistress, and then put on a sweet smile and said, "Aunt mistress, I don't know when to call Qingmu over? Could it be that I have stewed high-grade blood swallows to replenish Qingmu's body? Auntie , you are so kind to Qingmu, just like your mother."

Wu Wanhua's brows twitched faintly, covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed lightly and said, "I didn't stew blood swallow today, I asked you to come over because I have something else to ask you."

She put down the veil and raised her voice slightly, "Qingmu, Auntie is asking you, did you leave the house privately today?"

Isn't this nonsense, locked the back door, and sent Jinru and the butler to wait at the door, how can you not know that I'm out of the house?

I smiled sweetly, nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, Qingmu is indeed out of the house."

As soon as the words fell, I clearly saw a smile in the eyes of the third lady, and the second lady's face was uncertain, but Su Qingyue's eyes twitched.

Wu Wanhua seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and immediately said, "Qingmu, since you are the daughter of the mansion, you naturally know the rules in the mansion. Women are not allowed to go out without asking for instructions, do you know?"

I nodded hurriedly, "Qingmu naturally knows." Then I motioned to Luzhu to bring the package over, opened it like a treasure, took out the two most beautiful hairpins inside, and said shyly, "Auntie, you are so kind to Qingmu." , Qing Mu didn't know how to repay.

August [-]th was my aunt's birthday. At that time, Qingmu was studying etiquette in the Qinglan Pavilion, so she couldn't come to celebrate her aunt's birthday. Her sister Qingxue was also in the pavilion, so naturally she couldn't come back to be with her aunt.

When we arrived at Qinglan Pavilion, the first lesson Master taught was filial piety, loyalty and justice.

If the law precedes loyalty, the law is regarded as loyalty.Filial piety is before law, and filial piety is regarded as etiquette.There is also an old saying that filial piety comes first, and without filial piety there is no virtue.

Although there were rules in the general's mansion, Qing Mu thought about the future and decided to take filial piety as a gift and went out to buy a birthday gift for his aunt.

I was planning to give it to my aunt as soon as I came back, but who knows, my aunt called me over first, so that was just right, look at it, aunt, is this hairpin good-looking?Qing Mu chose it for a long time, and felt that this color is gorgeous, which is very suitable for her aunt's fair complexion. "

As I said that, I took out an emerald green "Jade" hairpin and handed it over.

Wu Wanhua's complexion is very fair, and she usually prefers green, but she likes dark green.

The one in my hand is emerald green, and it is very cheap. I remember it was three renminbi, or five renminbi. In short, it was no more than ten renminbi, and it was hundreds of levels different from her worst jewelry.

I clearly saw the corners of her mouth trembling, but I still held back my temper, took the hairpin and said, "My aunt is very happy that you have such a heart. I can see that you are a filial child."

I immediately said naively, "Auntie, you mean you like it?"

Wu Wanhua nodded reluctantly.

I immediately smiled and said, "Auntie, as long as you like it, look, I even bought you your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. By the way, there are a lot of jewelry."

Then, I put a pair of pink ear beads, two pink porcelain bracelets, and an orange ring made of unknown material on her hand.Finally, I took out a box of cheap red rouge...

"Enough!" The third lady finally couldn't stand it any longer, stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "You are so young, you are so smart. You think you can use this cheap junk to coax the mistress, and you can do it today." Did you fool around! You left the mansion without permission, that is, you left the mansion without permission, how can you still quibble!"

I immediately turned my head, holding a box of rouge and asked, "Third Madam, do you think these things of mine are junk?"

The third lady snorted, "Isn't it?"

What a stupid head, how could I forget the last time I suffered a loss, how could I not have a long memory!
I snorted coldly, picked up the two packs of high-quality pastries, and said, "Third Madam, I bought the pastry from Qinghu. His pastry is a time-honored brand with crispy skin and big filling. Everyone in the house knows it." My aunt likes to eat it the most. Now you say that all I buy are junk, what do you mean! "

The third lady immediately said, "I'm not talking about this pastry, I'm talking about something else!"

I laughed, "Third Madam, I bought these for my aunt's birthday. My aunt also said that she likes them just now. Do you mean that the things my head aunt likes are junk?"

The third lady's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant, you don't want to talk nonsense!"

I nodded, "Okay, then let's not talk about you insulting your aunt in person, let's talk about something else.

Third Madam, my aunt's birthday will be in a few days, since you think my gift is tattered, have you prepared a big and expensive gift for your aunt? "

"That's natural." The third lady said casually.

I nodded, "The third lady really has a heart, but Qingmu has already given away this bracelet, jewelry, and pastries. It's nothing new to give it away. I heard that when the third lady married, she brought a piece of beautiful jade with a white wall and no time. I don't know , Madam, do you want to bring jade to celebrate my aunt's birthday?"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Wanhua's eyes lit up, and the third lady's expression suddenly changed...
