The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 22 Men's Wear on the Street
Qingshu is not disgusted by Xiaojuan's reaction.She understands that the ancient mansion is different from Beppu, because money has become more and more scarce in recent years, so they don't issue monthly bills to the servants, only food and lodging, clothes for the four seasons, and some bonuses for important festivals.Now the servants left in the house are either those who have no one at home, or those who cannot be accommodated at home, or who have nowhere to go.Even if there is no monthly rule, the ancient mansion is willing to let them out, but they will not leave.

Especially Xiaojuan, she was alone after her mother's death, she had a big appetite, she was like a needlework girl, and she was so straightforward that she didn't understand all the twists and turns, and it was difficult to make a living outside the house.She stayed with all her heart, her only wish was not to be hungry again in this life.In the past, the lady would not let her get close, but this is the first time for her to see the golden jewelry up close at such an age, can't she be excited!

Qing Shu put the three bracelets on the table and said with a smile, "Touch it!"

Excited, Xiaojuan approached cautiously, her outstretched hands were trembling, and finally picked up a pair of golden bracelets, she didn't dare to blink her eyes, she looked and looked, smirked and didn't say anything, and suspicious liquid appeared at the corner of her mouth .

Qing Shu thought it was funny, "Why are you smirking?"

Xiaojuan swallowed her saliva, "Steamed buns, a lot of white flour steamed buns." Then she took a deep breath.

Qingshu stroked her forehead, and she knew that this girl was only promising.

Mother Su came in and saw Xiaojuan drooling while holding the gold bracelet, so she slapped her on the back when she came up, "Stinky girl, put it down quickly, is this something you can touch casually?"

Xiaojuan shrank her neck, quickly put down the bracelet, and stepped aside embarrassingly.

Mother Su shook her head and scolded: "You good-for-nothing girl, she's so dirty, wipe off your drool quickly."

Qing Shu pointed to the jewelry on the table and asked Gu Qiang, "How much is it worth? Take a look."

Gu Qiang asked Mama Su to pass it over, and looked carefully, "This jade is in good condition, and it's probably worth a thousand taels of silver. This pair of gold ones is worth six to seven hundred taels of silver."

Qing Shu thought for a while, "My aunt's reaction was a bit strange. She let me take her bracelet, but she didn't say she would go back. Master Sun's reaction was also quite different from last time. Give me Mrs. Sun's bracelet. What do you think?"

Gu Qiang said seriously: "Master Sun's reaction is expected, he is showing his favor to the lady, telling her that the marriage will not change. As for the eldest lady, she looks gentle and talkative on the surface, but she has a deep mind and is very good at everything , don't offend others, and don't let yourself suffer. Miss, you should be careful in dealing with it in the future."

Mother Su persuaded, "Miss, how can you just take the elder's things directly? It's not polite, and you must never do this in the future." .

Qing Shu put on a willful expression, "Hmph, uncle can rob the shop and farm that father left us mother and son, why can't I take their things. Besides, this is compensation for breaking the porcelain." Sigh, she is obviously not a wayward person, but she has to act as a wayward girl once in a while, it feels really awkward.

Su's mother sighed, "Miss, you are mostly in good health, go see Madam sometime!"

Qing Shu's eyes were red, she turned her face away, and refused.This is not her pretending, nor is it her will, but the natural reaction of this body.It seems that the former master was hurt by her mother's indifference for five years, and he was also a poor child.After a while, she stabilized her emotions, "Housekeeper, wait for three days. If Uncle or Master Sun doesn't come to redeem the bracelets after three days, you can take them out, sell or pawn them, and exchange them for as much silver as you can."

Gu Qiang agreed.

Qing Shu said again: "Go to the Zhuangzi in the east of the city tomorrow, when will you come back?" Apart from the Zhuangzi occupied by Gu Yunfu, there is also such a small Zhuangzi with a land of about [-] mu in the Gufu.

Gu Qiang replied: "Try to come back before the curfew, the affairs in the mansion have been arranged properly, don't worry, miss."

Qing Shu waved the couple to go down, put away the three bracelets, and brought Xiao Juan back to the accountant to study.

Qingshu put on the blue cotton men's clothing sewn by Xu Wuniang, combed the man's hair, and stood in front of Xiaojuan and Xu Wuniang, "Do you like it?"

Xiaojuan laughed loudly, "Miss, even if you don't look at the pierced ears, people will know you are a girl at a glance."

Qing Shu touched Badger's pierced ears and smooth fair face with a shocked face.

Xu Wuniang took out a pair of small dark blue men's shoes from her cloth bag, "Miss, try to see if it fits." As she said that, she wanted to change the embroidered shoes on Qingshu's feet.

Qingshu sat on the chair, asked Xu Wuniang to change her shoes, stood up again, put one hand behind her back, and walked around squarely like a man, "Don't look at the pierced ears, does it look like this time?"

Xu Wuniang glared at Xiaojuan who was about to laugh again, then turned her face and said: "Miss, you should walk more naturally and generously, others won't pay so much attention to you, just treat you as an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who hasn't grown up yet. "

Only then did Qing Shu gain a little confidence, deliberately making her voice low and speaking, "Then, will your words reveal your truth immediately?"

While tidying Qingshu's belt, Xu Wuniang said: "There are many effeminate young men in the big family's home in central Beijing. Miss, don't talk much. Don't walk like a girl when you go out, and don't be shy and blushing like a little girl. It will be fine." She was purely trying to comfort her own lady, with those pierced ears, no one can tell the difference between a man and a woman.

Su's mother came in just in time, "What Wu Niang said is, it's just miss, what do you want to buy? Just write a list and let Ding Jiabao run errands. Why go to that place where there is a lot of fish and dragons? What should I do if I bump into something?" Since she knew about it yesterday, she wanted to repeat it when she thought about it.

Qing Shu smiled, not arguing, she put a pouch containing 50 taels of silver bills in her left sleeve pocket, a dozen taels of scattered silver in her right sleeve pocket, and some copper plates in the purse hanging from her waist.

Mother Su knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she took a small black and thin thing in her hand, and fiddled with Qing Shu's face, and a freckle-faced little boy was born in this way.

Qingshu looked in the mirror, and took Xiaojuan out very satisfied. Mother Su followed behind her worryingly, constantly talking about this caution and that attention, and warned Xiaojuan that if there was anything wrong with the miss, she would take Xiaojuan. Just ask Yunyun.

"Sister, sister, wait for Xiaoyang..."

"Master, good master, please stop..."

Qingshu didn't understand what was going on, stopped, turned around, and saw Xiaoyang and Gu Yuanbao running over panting one after the other.

Gu Qingyang ran close, rushed over and hugged Qingshu's slender waist, "Huh...huh...sister, take...take Xiaoyang." Then he raised his head, saw his sister's face clearly, and opened his mouth into a letter O The shape, the eyes are wide open.

Qing Shu chuckled, and patted his head, "Xiao Yang is obedient, my sister has something to do today, not to go out to play, you can study hard at home, okay?"
