The anti-theft badge, if the purchase ratio is less than half, wait for a day~ Cheng Hui promised to go out to wash clothes in order to find a chance to sneak into the kitchen, but Little Five Little Six is so urgently stalking people, she feels like she is in the hut. Back, where is the chance to sneak? So after making preparations in advance and realizing that there was no chance, she decided to "hunger strike".
Of course, because the steamed buns she saved not only have to be eaten by herself, but also distributed to Xiaozhen. Today, the last steamed buns are also eaten, she has decided, in case there is no movement at the Juyuan, she will... compromise. I can't really starve myself to death.
Therefore, when Cheng Hui heard Xiaozhen running over and saying that the master is coming, she knew that she had won the bet, and quickly asked Xiaozhen to go back to her house and lie down on the bed to pretend to be dead. She took out the quilt and covered her head. Living.
After a while, the sound of footsteps entered the room, and Li Youde's eyes swept away. Seeing the figure bulging in the quilt, and motionless again, he angrily rebuked, "Little Liu, drag Chen Hui Niang out for me!"
Without waiting for Little Six to move, Cheng Hui's dull voice came from the quilt: "Father-in-law, Hui Niang is not wearing clothes."
Little Six stiffened and stopped moving, looking at Li Youde embarrassedly.
Li Youde didn't expect this, and stared for a while and said: "You show me your head!"
Cheng Hui said, "No way, father-in-law, Hui Niang hasn't freshened up yet. It's really wrong to see him in person like this. It's better to come back later and wait for Hui Niang to dress up and see him again."
Li Youde listened to Cheng Hui's feeble voice and sneered, "I'm afraid you will starve to death in this room as soon as I leave!"
Cheng Hui answered quickly: "The father-in-law said it really makes sense, it's better to take something to pad Hui Niang, and Hui Niang is so strong to clean up."
Li Youde sneered: "Chen Huiniang, what do you want to do? I tell you, don't want to die."
The inability to see Li Youde's face under the quilt made Cheng Hui's courage soar. She pretended to be aggrieved: "Obviously the father-in-law refused to give Hui Niang food, why did Hui Niang want to die? Hui Niang It's wrong."
"Oh, don't work well, what's the use of supporting you!" Li Youde said.
The person in the quilt was silent for a while and said, "...looks good?"
There was an unbearable sneer beside him, Li Youde turned his head and stared, Little Five hurriedly covered his mouth with regret, he just snorted and turned back to stare at the outline under the quilt. Speaking of it, he hasn't seen such a thick-skinned person in a long time!
He stopped talking nonsense with Chen Hui, and said coldly, "Chen Huiniang, tomorrow you will either go to the laundry or..."
He guessed that Cheng Hui in the quilt was listening to him with his ears upright, as if he could feel her heart-scratching emotions. He was in a good mood and continued: "Today I will teach you to serve by your side!"
Cheng Hui was taken aback, but Li Youde outside said to the Little Six beside him: "Go, bring the girl who is waiting."
When Little Six was about to respond, he saw a flower in front of him. Cheng Hui suddenly opened the quilt and sat up. Little Six and the others were shocked and turned their backs in shock, not daring to look into the bed.
Li Youde's eyes were almost round, and when he realized that Cheng Hui's clothes were intact, he understood that he had been cheated by her before, and she was talking nonsense about "not wearing clothes".
After all, Cheng Hui was bored in the quilt, and his hair was messed up early, revealing the shallow scars under his forehead after the scab fell off. She found that the scar healed very quickly, and couldn't help but thank her that this body was not a scar constitution, otherwise it would be miserable.
Faced with Li Youde's eyes that dimmed in an instant, Cheng Hui shrank slightly, lowered his eyes, and said like a cock that was defeated: "Hui Niang will continue to work tomorrow, father-in-law, don't worry..."
She looked respectful and submissive. In fact, she had already cursed the dead eunuch in the bottom of her heart. It was too despicable, and she used Xiaozhen to threaten her. What can she do? Can only compromise!
But she would never give up, she didn't believe it, she really couldn't find a chance!
Li Youde snorted, turned and left.
He didn't even notice it. At this moment, there was a trace of expectation in his heart, looking forward to what other tricks Chen Hui Niang could play.
When walking out of the Plum yard, Li Youde noticed that there was a lantern in front of him. In the dim light, Miss Jiang's delicate figure floated like a fairy.
He was startled, and motioned to his men to stay still, and walked a few steps in the direction of Yizhuxuan. When he reached Miss Jiang, he smiled: "Miss Jiang, it's cold at night, why did you come out? "
Miss Jiang originally turned her back to him, she turned around and smiled slightly: "I heard some movement and couldn't fall asleep, so she went out and walked." Her gaze inadvertently glanced in the direction of Plum Yard, and then hesitated. Then he said, "That...Miss Chen, has the father-in-law not been happy again?"
Li Youde hurriedly said, "It's nothing, but it's just a little trouble, I don't like it."
Miss Jiang’s beautiful eyes quickly lifted up and glanced at him, then dropped, nodded and said: “That’s fine.” She paused, as if she wanted to say something, she didn’t say anything, she just nodded slightly. Said, "Bihan will return first, father-in-law will do it himself."
Li Youde didn't care, he glanced at Jiang Bihan's side, and the maid immediately followed her and accompanied her back.
Li Youde stood there again for a while, then turned around and walked towards the chrysanthemum courtyard, feeling no longer happy.
On the second day, Cheng Hui had breakfast, followed by Little Six, and walked to the West Longhouse unhappily.
Of course, at this time she already had another attention-let Xiaozhen act. After Cheng Hui was punished to wash her clothes, the Plum yard that was meant to be closed was no need to be locked again. Unfortunately, Xiaozhen was so courageous that she did not dare to move even if the door of the Plum yard was open. No task was arranged for her, and now there was really no other way, so had to let Xiaozhen wander around in the kitchen.
Cheng Hui has been faintly aware of it recently. Others see her tossing so much, thinking that she has a big plan, and no one would think that she does so much for a meal. Therefore, asking Xiaozhen to steal some meat from the kitchen is in the blind spots of others, and the success rate should be high. It's just that Xiaozhen is too timid, and she can't completely settle down.
The sun slowly moved to the top. Cheng Hui washed two clothes in the morning. After washing for a while, he was tired, stopped to rest, and drew on. Little Six doesn't care, she just needs to wash it anyway.
Seeing lunch time, Cheng Hui's heart also slowly lifted up. According to the process she arranged for Xiaozhen, Xiaozhen should take the initiative to go to the kitchen before dinner, saying that she had lunch by herself. She came out of the kitchen and was familiar with it. It shouldn't be difficult to hold a sheep hand in hand. Her requirements are not high, as long as she is allowed to taste pork the size of char siu first...
Feeling that his saliva was about to flow out, Cheng Hui could only quickly restrain his imagination and silently wait for Xiaozhen to pass here.
However, someone from the kitchen sent her lunch. She still didn't see Xiaozhen coming, and she couldn't help wondering if Xiaozhen was too timid to come...
The person in the kitchen who brought Xiaozhen lunch back soon returned with a weird look on his face, even seeing Cheng Hui showing a bit hesitant to speak.
Cheng Hui put the lunch in his hand and asked him: "What happened, what happened to Xiaozhen?"
The man glanced at Little Six, and only said, "Miss Chen, you should go and see by yourself."
Cheng Hui stood up abruptly and said to Little Six, "I'll be back when I go and see."
Before Little Six answered, he hurried back to the Plum yard.
Since Cheng Hui passed through, the person who has treated her best is Xiaozhen, she will never allow anyone to bully Xiaozhen!
When Cheng Hui arrived at the Plum yard, there was no sound inside, but there was movement from the Leizhuxuan on the other side. She turned around and ran there immediately.
Little Six frowned, trying to persuade Cheng Hui not to mess around, but couldn't speak, so he just walked in.
Cheng Hui saw Xiaozhen, who was trembling and kneeling in the courtyard, standing in front of her. Two maids stood in front of her. One of them was Cheng Hui that night, crying and shouting to be friends with Ms. The maid of "He Titong" is probably less than twenty years old. She looks quite ordinary, but she may have stayed with Miss Jiang for a long time, and her expression is also cold, and she has a kind of nobility and nobility.
Seeing Cheng Hui coming, the maidservant did not see much panic, but was slightly blessed, and said indifferently: "Miss Chen, your maid broke one of Jiang’s favorite jade auspicious cloud hairpins, and the maidservant will punish Miss Chen. She, let her restrain her reckless temper!"
Cheng Hui glanced at Xiaozhen. The latter kept her head down, as if she was so scared that she couldn't speak. She couldn't give her any hint. She had to smile carefully and said, "Xiaozhen is young, and she is really naughty. It’s because I didn’t teach well. I apologize to your girl. I will pay for the hairpin, but Xiaozhen, I’ve taught it myself."
Although he has been eating very vegetarian food, Xiaozhen lives less in the Plum yard and has a good temperament like Cheng Hui. He has a natural and comfortable life. It is already a little smoother than when he first came to Plum yard. Punishment, for this, she is not afraid to face Li Youde, and naturally she is not afraid to confront Miss Jiang. If Xiaozhen really broke the hairpin, she will definitely pay it back. Even if it is unclear for a while, she will pay it back in installments, but it must pass her to punish Xiaozhen without talking.
Li Youde moved his head slightly, sneered, and suddenly laughed sharply: "Ms. Chen, you are quite bold."
Cheng Hui thinks what he said is a bit inexplicable, just accept a letter, how dare you? There are no viruses or germ bombs here, so what else can she be afraid of?
"I don't know..."
Cheng Hui was about to speak, but Li Youde yelled at the person lying on the ground: "Ms. Xu, tell me what's going on."
Cheng Hui turned to look at Mrs. Xu, who was still lying on the ground, and suddenly realized that the back of the woman she saw today was her. But Mrs. Xu obviously came to deliver the food every day, and delivered it to her directly when it was delivered, wouldn't it be convenient and safe? Why bother? ... Maybe it is because Mrs. Xu is not pleasing to her eyes and doesn't want her to know that she is the one sending the letter?
"Yes, yes, sir!" Mrs. Xu hurriedly replied, "Today the Chen family said that they missed their daughter, and asked the old slave to send a letter from the family. The old slave thought that human relationships were commonplace, so he did not refuse, secretly I stuffed the letter under the door of the Plum Yard...Master, the old slave is really crazy! Asking the master to spare the old slave this time, the old slave will never dare!"
Li Youde sneered: "Oh, it's so easy to say. How much money did you collect? Even now, dare you lie to me?"
Mrs. Xu hurriedly shook her head, but gritted her teeth and said: "Master, Master Mingjian! The old slave really didn't deceive the master, the old slave dare not!"
Li Youde grinned, and a few small servants suddenly walked in outside. One of them hurriedly came over and said something in his ear. With a move of his brow, he kicked the person over with one foot, and said angrily: "Useless things!"
The little boy who was kicked over by him just stabilized and knelt upright, not daring to be disrespectful.
Li Youde suppressed the depression in his heart, raised his head and looked at Cheng Hui. Seeing her open a pair of clear eyes and looking straight at him, he felt that the fire in his heart could not be suppressed.
He said to Ah Da, "Ms. Xu, how do you deal with it?"
Ah Da said: "Ms. Xu eats inside and out. It's not a thing. She should hit twenty sticks and throw it out of the house!"
Li Youde seemed to be very satisfied with this daan, nodded and said, "Just do it."
Ah Da nodded, immediately greeted people and dragged a bench over, and nodded two strong little servants, each holding a wooden stick with thick arms and preparing to execute the torture.
Mother Xu shouted out in horror when Li Youde said, "Let's do this," but was gagged and screamed.
Cheng Hui hadn't started the fight there yet, Cheng Hui was a little dazed. He had heard Xiaozhen say about being beaten to death with a stick. She still had only a vague impression. She had never thought that the real scene would appear in front of her. With such a thick stick, even a few sticks can't stand it, let alone a full twenty sticks!
At this moment, Li Youde suddenly asked, "Hui Niang, you really know how to hide things. That letter, where did you hide?"
Cheng Hui did not dare to look at Mrs. Xu, but heard the dull sound of a wooden stick hitting her pussy in her ears. She was so emotional that daan leaked from her mouth: "...burned."
"Burn it?" Li Youde's eyes stared, and then he thought of something, his tone went down in gloom, "What is written in it, you are going to burn it?"
Cheng Hui didn't have time to answer. The second stick fell down from Mother Xu. After hearing a snoring grunt from Mother Xu, she suddenly groaned, as if there was something urgent to say.
Ah Da glanced at Li Youde, motioned the two young men to pause, and took down the rag that was blocking Mother Xu's mouth.
As soon as Mrs. Xu could speak, she said eagerly and loudly as if she was afraid that the stick would fall on her again: "Master, old slave, old slave know what is written in the letter! The old slave peeked before sending it!"
When she finished speaking, she shut up and looked at Li Youde pleadingly.
Li Youde stared at Mrs. Xu and smiled: "I promise you less ten sticks."
In other words, removing the previous two sticks, she would have to suffer another eight sticks.
Mother Xu’s face turned pale after the two sticks, and now she heard what Li Youde said, and it looked like a piece of white paper. She trembled twice, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to negotiate terms with Li Youde, but in the end A trace of fear flashed under his eyes, and he stopped the thought, and said with a trembling voice: "Return to master! That letter was given to her by Miss Chen and her lover! The letter was full of unsightly words, and the old slave didn't dare to read more, and he really couldn't remember. live……"
She was hit by a stick, and when she heard Chen Hui Niang say "burned", she came up with the idea. The letter burned and there was no evidence, and the letter passed her hand. What she said would definitely be Make Grandpa Li believe and be annoyed-even a eunuch, it doesn't make sense to tolerate a girl in the backyard with a red apricot out of the wall! Rather, being an eunuch cannot tolerate this. Even if he didn't like the woman, he couldn't bear it.
Li Youde just changed his face when he heard Cheng Hui laugh out loud.
Li Youde turned her head to look at her abruptly, only to see that she curled her lips together, her eyebrows were smiling, and she said nonchalantly to the old woman Xu: "Granny Xu, do you think I was really burning when I said the letter was burned? So I planned to arrange something. Tell me the truth? I looked at the letter when I got it. The seal was neatly sealed and it was never opened. You can't see through the envelope, but you can still see the contents of the letter? , Who is the last name of my lover who does not exist? You said that you can't remember those unsightly words, you can always remember who it is? Saying a name to the father-in-law, with this credit, may not only save you The remaining eight sticks can reward you with some silver!"
