037 Two Tigers Fight
Cuiying won a great victory in the battle with Mama Li, and the past two days were raised again. In addition, although the conflicts were finally digested in the yard and the "demand for money" was finally determined to be "borrowing money", Liuli was sure that she refused to "borrow" because of the rules, which naturally made her even more inflated. She could scold Tianerruier in front of Mama Li, for no reason.
When Madam Li saw her scolding the little maid like this, she recalled what Tianer said privately that day, and no one knew how to judge her in her heart.
It was the 22nd day of the winter moon, and Cuiying came over early in the morning: "Today is the birthday of the fourth girl, and as usual, girls should follow the gifts."
Liuli recalled Shuhua, as if she had never met Yanhua seriously since she had a dispute with the Buddhist temple banquet. Of course, she had seen her at the old lady these two times, but there were many people far apart, so there was no intersection. Of course, the gifts still have to be followed, but until now Liuli was still unable to understand what the fourth girl was about to her, and she couldn't think of what gifts she gave and how much it was appropriate. - Shuhua is not Yanhua, and this girl has many opinions.
So she asked, "What did the girls gave in previous years?"
Cuiying said: "Sisters at home are not as good as outside. They are just needlework, snacks, paper, pen, or rouge, etc. They are all things you use on weekdays. However, there will be regular rules for the whole birthday like ten years. Usually, they are monthly silver for one month. If you are a very good sister, you will naturally add a little to it."
Speaking of the girls, Liuli suddenly remembered that Huanhua came, and didn't know how she was sick. The house was in chaos these days, and she forgot about this. After thinking about it, Rui'er came and she gave her a secret wink: "I am about the same age as the Eighth Girl. Go to the Third Room to inquire and see what the Eighth Girl will give you."
Rui'er knew it and went there immediately.
After a while, Liuli was left in the room with her embroidered flowers. She said, "Miss Eight gave her four Hu pens and a pair of fans."
Liuli nodded, "Did Miss Eight tell you by herself?"
Rui'er said, "No, Miss Eight is drinking medicine, I asked Caiping." After saying that, she paused and said, "When I came out, Miss Eight vomited again, and Aunt Liu cried aside."
Liuli said, "Where is the third lady?"
"The third lady was anxious. It is said that this has been a bit of a day. Aunt Ning said that the eighth girl was afraid that it would be bad, so she advised her to start preparing for her funeral."
Liuli frowned immediately. Huanhua was seriously ill. Qi did not recommend the adoption of Aunt Ning's son, but instead chose Huanhua, whom Liu gave birth to it. It would be impossible for Aunt Ning to not hate Aunt Liu and his daughter. If Huanhua's illness was artificial, she could be listed as the first suspect based on the words of Aunt Ning just now.
But even if Liuli analyzed that this matter was strange, how could she get into this muddy water? Besides, there is no evidence, and guessing alone is untenable.
She was still in the process of being a god here, but Rui'er was still standing in front of her, "Girl, the birthday gift of the fourth girl, it's time to send it over."
She looked out of the window and came to her senses, and said, "I remember the last time I made the leftover cloud brocade, and embroidered two purses and took them out. Then I took a can of Emei green tea and a knife rice paper." The purse made by herself was not worth much, but for the sake of her intention, the rice paper was authentic five-foot powder paper produced in Xuanzhou, and it was left by my grandfather before. The tea leaves given by my uncle should be worth one or two taels.
Cuiying thought Liuli was going to send her away, but when she saw Rui'er, she walked away in a boring manner. Rui'er turned out from the inner room, but only rice paper and purse were in her hand, but there was no tea.
"Only half a can of tea left in the cabinet is eaten, and there is no seal. I think the girl remembers it wrong?"
Liuli said: "Impossible. There are obviously five cans, one can for the master. I ate one by myself, and there should be three cans left."
Rui'er put down the thing and said, "That's a strange thing. Could it be that someone stole it? The cabinet is not locked, so it's easy to take it away, but who would steal tea?" She subconsciously glanced at Madam Li who was basking in the sun outside the door.
Liuli asked: "But I have lost anything else?"
Rui'er then searched the cabinets again and came back and said, "The few pieces of clothing sent from the warehouse two days ago were gone, and the remaining half of the pieces were missing. I still wanted to keep the one who made a small vest for the girl!"
Liuli frowned and thought for a while, stood up and said, "You go out first."
There was something strange about this. When Rui'er closed the door, Liuli walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He reached out to explore under the bed board. He took out a small cloth bag. After opening it, a brilliant golden light shone on his eyes. The few luxurious and exquisite jewelry inside were the gifts given by the wives, including the old lady. He clicked them all. So he was relieved and carefully put them back to the original place.
Sitting alone and thinking for a moment, she opened the door and asked Rui'er to come in, "You go and ask Cuiying for some money and ask the people in the warehouse to help "Mingyuezhai" buy two boxes of better rouge for the fourth girl to celebrate her birthday. I don't have these here."
Rui'er nodded: "I'll go now. So, do you want Sister Cuiying to check it out when she is throwing things in the house?"
Liuli waved her hand: "No need, just pay more attention to it later."
After a while, Rui'er actually came back with her lips tightly pursed, "Girl, Sister Cuiying said she had no money."
Liuli was wondering. Didn’t the gold and silver croquettes given by the old lady and the concubines in front of her? Cuiying had already come in: "Miss, I have no money here. There are only a few big gold beans. You took four of them by yourself, and the rest were given out. You bought charcoal and wax, and the girl bought pens and ink every day. These regular rules in the warehouse are not enough. We have to get the monthly money for the first day of the first day of the day. I asked me to buy tea, and today I asked me to buy rouge, but I have never regarded me as a money house?!"
Her robbery seemed to have become Dou E on the execution ground, and her body was filled with indescribable injustice. When Madam Li heard it outside, she rushed in and said, "What are you saying, Xiaotizi? Look at me, don't tear your mouth apart!"
She came prepared and wanted to cure Cuiying. She was still halfway through, but the slap had already come. Cuiying couldn't avoid it and was slapped, and fell to the ground, and also threw down the flower stand under the curtain.
While she was not getting up, Madam Li still grabbed the feather duster on the wall and threw herself at her face and hit her. Cuiying screamed and cursed, gritted her teeth and turned around and pinched her neck and pressed it to the ground, spitting phlegm on her face, snatched the feather duster and sucked it on her face.
Madam Li suddenly screamed like a pig, her fat body kept struggling, kicking down the embroidered band under the window.
Liuli jumped up and said, "Oh my God! Come on! Madam Li is going to die!"
Tian'er rushed over and hurriedly pulled Cuiying: "Don't beat it quickly! It's going to be killed!" Rui'er finally walked up to persuade the fight: "Okay, okay, it's going to be killed!" She hurriedly took the feather duster over.
Cuiying stood up panting, spread her hair away, and pulled off two pieces of her shirt, but pointed to the ground like a victorious general: "Damn old woman, don't think you are so great! The eldest lady treats you as a chess piece, and how noble is more than me?! If I am a little bitch, you are an old bitch!"
Madam Li looked even worse, her hair fell apart, and several blood marks were drawn from her face. She sat up with her hands, opened her mouth and spit out, and immediately brought out an incisor.
Liuli hurriedly went up with Rui'er to help her up, and Tian'er poured a glass of water. Liuli said, "Rui'er, help Cuiying back to the room to change clothes. Madam Li, sit down and rest. Tian'er will get a basin of hot water!"
Rui'er and Liuli helped Mama Li to sit on the soft couch before leaving.
Madam Li hummed and whispered onto the couch, her face was swollen, and she still wanted to curse Cuiying, but she swallowed it back in pain. Liuli used silk to wipe the blood on her face and sighed: "Madam is really, what is her identity, what is your identity? Do you have to see her like her!"
Madam Li covered her face and cried, "Miss Nine, you saw this today. How did that little slut bully me, the old woman! I really don't know what's wrong with the He Mansion now? She even lost her seniority and inferiority! I might as well stay in the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion to support me!"
The eldest aunt He Duanyun was the eldest daughter of Mr. He. He was ranked below He Rongsheng and above He Jianghong. He married Hu Chen'an, the second son of Duke Jing. He has been dead for more than ten years. The He family seemed to be very busy with the Duke Jing's mansion. The ancestors of Duke Jing were the founding fathers of Emperor Gaozu. According to the court's laws, the title was hereditary for three generations, and Hu Chen'an's elder brother happened to be defeated.
Liuli advised: "Mum, forget it. Cuiying is also a member of the old lady's house, and you are also an old lady's person. Didn't you rush the Dragon King Temple to the flood!"
"What? She is also from the old lady's house?" Madam Li stared with her eyes wide open and sat upright: "Then she still squeezed me like this? No, I can't spare her! I have to tell the old lady, and let her give me justice!"
She fell to the ground quickly and was about to go out with her shoes. Liuli rushed over and said, "Mum, at least she had to clean up her face before going!"
"Not to clean up! Let the old lady see what life I live!"
After throwing this to Liuli, she left in a flash.
Liuli watched from the corridor, Tian'er came back from fetching water and said, "Where is Madam?"
Liuli turned around and looked at her and said, "Oh, I've gone to the old lady."
Tian'er said in surprise: "Why don't the girl stop her?!"
Liuli shook her face: "Why should I stop her?"
Tian'er choked. Liuli returned to the room. Tian'er stood for a while, turned around and put down the basin, and went out.
