Chapter 17 The elegant beast
Why is my aunt so tolerant? At first, I was shy because I didn't know that the shopkeeper was such a person!
My aunt patted the counter and hummed coldly, "A profiteer!"
The shopkeeper's face came down. At this time, the old man was dressed in white. Hearing this, he looked back at me with a clear face and a smile in his eyebrows. The shopkeeper's anger was extinguished. He bowed his head and arched his hand: "Grandma, there is really nothing suitable for you in this store."
What kind of shopkeeper is this? Isn't it just that dogs look down on people? He is respectful, and in his bones, he may scold me - if he has no money, he has to go to the jade store and slap him in the face.
I blushed. But I really don't have money. These copper coins and broken silver on my body are all my family's. It's all for Zhao Xiaosi that I'm willing to take it out. How do you know, but it's just a drop in the bucket?
In my heart, I only feel that Zhao Xiaosi is very good, and naturally I am not wrong. Even if it is wrong, it is absolutely that the shopkeeper is too greedy for money and set the price so high that it obviously does not give us ordinary people a way to live!
But what can I do? Now the second aunt, who is domineering in Situ's backyard, was just a child...
"hehe." But the prince smiled and broke the deadlock. I stared at him. I have already guessed that this man should be the owner of Ruyixuan. People look good. I absolutely don't admit that he is better than Zhao Xiaosi. It's just... If my aunt met him first, it would be hard to talk about Zhao Xiaosi.
He smiled, like a drop of green leaves floating in the fragrant tea, curled up and looked warm in people's hearts.
How can this man look so good? My aunt's heart, which only had a Zhao Xiaosi, couldn't help but be moved.
"This girl. Do you really need a jade pendant? He spoke properly, unlike the reprimanding the shopkeeper just now, with a chill, and now his voice is warm and soft. Why didn't I hear of such a man, such a talented and romantic at that time? Sure enough, he is ignorant. Instead, I got on Zhao Xiaosi's thief boat - but I smiled sweetly and recognized it.
"Yes, I must buy a jade pendant from you! It doesn't matter if the jade quality is worse, as long as it's cheaper.
I was a cheerful person. She left and untied her purse and poured a handful of copper coins on the counter. It was also golden and quite a lot.
"What kind of jade does that girl want?"
I have been thinking about this problem for a long time. Originally, I had the idea of engraving on the jade, but the shopkeeper's face just now rotted this idea in my stomach. At present, this owner is so talkative that I don't mind talking to him: "I want a jade pendant. The material is not important. The most important thing is to engrave a word on it."
"What word?" Somehow, many years later, I still remember the smile on this face at that moment.
Sure enough...
...good-looking......
"Incarve the word 'prisoner', the 'prisoner' of 'prisoner'." Why do you want to engrave "prisoner"? Cough, in fact, this is a very simple problem. It's nothing more than telling Zhao that he was born and died as the ghost of Li Liangxiu. I will never let him go in my life and the next life.
I saw the corners of the man's mouth twitch suspiciously.
smiled and said, "But can't you do it?"
He replied, "Of course."
"Is there enough money?"
He smiled and said, "Enough. Just make a friend. Girl, my name is Situ Xiang.
......
For many years, cough, in fact, four years later, I pinched this jade pendant in the Xueyun Pavilion in Situ's backyard and couldn't help shouting: "Situ Xiang, yours!"
Situ Xiangming knew that what I hated most was this laborer. This jade pendant engraved with the word "prisoner" reminds me of the scum man Zhao Xiaosi, and also reminds me of how ignorant people were at that time. How could I think that Situ Beast was a handsome and turbid son? My aunt has been nibbled and her bones are gone now. The yellow flower daughter has turned into yellow cauliflower. Does he still use this thing to stimulate people?
I can't help but feel sad. My aunt's tragic experience fully illustrates the risks of choosing a partner when he is young.
"Second sister! Second sister!"
I looked up. It scared me. The fifth aunt's bloody face and how she pretended to be cute made me sick. My aunt came to her senses too reluctantly and pulled her face and said, "What's wrong?"
"Can you give me this jade pendant? I see that its jade is very good..." I can't hide the greed.
I sighed: Sure enough, she was born as a girl who had never seen the world. To be honest, this stone is not good. The only precious thing is a warm jade, which is very good for my cold body... Fortunately, she came to ask for it, and I can't wait to give it immediately. I quickly stuffed the stone into her.
Joke! When will this warm jade not be available? Do you want such a jade pendant to blind my eyes? I feel itchy when I think about it. This old man Situ is really restless! I don't believe he didn't mean it! In this world, except for my aunt, who can think of engraving such words on the jade pendant...
I continued to pound this pile of jade and pick it out. This night pearl is the most valuable, and the hairpin is also very good. This ring is also quite good... After I picked a pile for myself, I slowly sent something to the aunts. The third aunt said she didn't want it, but still insisted on the previous words: "The family letter is worth ten thousand dollars. Nothing is more precious to my concubine than the message of the master. Please, let me have a look."
The fourth aunt also ignored the jewelry I handed over. She only looked at my wife, and her eyes seemed to be full of tears: "Madam, I don't want anything. I just miss the master. I really can't sleep at night. Please share the letter with our sisters.
What's the big deal? My aunt is very confused. But is it just a letter? Is it worth it? That word can't be more cheap. There are a lot of them in my aunt's room. However, most of him finished checking the accounts and mocked my aunt's wisdom at the end: very naive! Unthinkable! Count it again! ......
Why don't these aunts even want so many treasures in order to read such a letter?
Or... Something happened when my aunt didn't know... So, the fourth aunt's face has been so wrong recently...
"Third aunt, fourth aunt. Since you want to see it, come with me." The wife threw down this sentence faintly and went into the inner room. Leave a few of us looking at each other.
The eighth aunt suddenly smiled and said, "I think the third sister and the fourth sister are most loyal to the master in this backyard."
I stared at her: "Clearly, my aunt is very loyal to the master."
The little girl turned her head and squeezed her eyes: "Second sister, just pretend. I think you are the one who doesn't take the master seriously in this backyard.
"Who let the master not love me? I don't want to care. I laughed and handed her a string of pearl necklaces and a collar - these are all good things. I have always been very fond of her, and I will not treat her unfairly.
Of course, the sixth aunt needs to be thick, and she also gave an extra bracelet for the girl - I don't want to be poked in the spine: thanks to the charge of Master Situ's only daughter, I don't have to carry it.
The fifth aunt has just given it. Aunt Seven, the crying look, I was so unhappy that it was over if I gave a few rings.
At the last count, I found that half of the things were left. My aunt is very relieved: My aunt is the most miserable aunt in the backyard. The master doesn't care, and my wife is colder. She deserves to be better for herself.
Only the fifth aunt seemed to be extremely dissatisfied, holding the jade pendant, as if she wanted to ask for something else. I was too busy to call Xiao Hong: "Xiao Hong, put these things in my aunt's room and lock them up! Be careful, don't be stolen."
Xiao Hong is not Xiao Cui. If it was Xiao Cui, her eyes must have glowed and looked at me with admiration, and she went back happily. But there is a little disapproval in Xiaohong's eyes - no matter, she has got these things, and it's nothing to be hated. What's more, the fifth aunt with a big cake face and the cowardly seventh aunt can't make any waves.
Several aunts were saying this, but the third aunt and the fourth aunt came out in a daze. This posture, there is a ghost!
It seems that the situation of the master is not good to make these two daughters show such expressions. My aunt smiled and went forward: "But my wife bullied our third and fourth sisters?"
The fifth aunt immediately turned her target and asked urgently to the two aunts, "But what's wrong with the master?"
"No...No..."
This panicked answer is even more suspicious. Normally, it should be good. Otherwise, why did you send so many gifts back with such a big handwriting?
The fourth aunt raised her face too slightly, a face with pear blossoms and rain, which looked strange and lovely: "I just... just miss the master too much. Seeing words is like seeing people, and my heart is a little excited. The third aunt also nodded quickly.
Well, my aunt accepted this statement and nodded with a smile: "That's good. The master is not good, and our internal husband is also worried. The old man is not good, and I don't feel at ease when I bully men and women too much. If something happens to him, the Situ Mansion will disperse immediately. At that time, who will give me this colorful life?
He is very good, and I am very safe.
Speaking of which, this fourth aunt is used to being noble in peace days, and this sudden little appearance of pear blossoms and rain is really tickling. Unfortunately, my aunt is not a bully, not a bully!
