Chapter 8:
The backyard of Yunfu—
"Have you caught the thief?" The old man came out in a coat.
There was a lot of noise outside, he all lay down and came out on crutches.
Lao Xu's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward to support the old man's arm, "I don't know if the thief has been caught, but when the people arrived, they saw the little master standing barefoot on the coffin, ghost. Just as scary."
The old man stopped slightly when he sat down, "Coffin?"
Older people are the most taboo for this kind of thing, the old man's face sank on the spot, "There is no coffin in the house."
"You don't know, the little master just bought it today." Lao Xu lowered his voice, "I heard from the porter that the coffin was delivered when it was dark."
The old man sighed and put his cane on the ground, "Who did she buy this for? Did she buy it for me?"
"It's so outrageous," the old man stood up angrily, "call her over for me! I want to ask her who the coffin is going to be used for."
"Master, don't be angry, do you think that little master is very wrong today?" Lao Xu advised.
When he said that, the old man thought about it carefully, and snorted coldly, "She has lost her mind."
In the past, Shi Qing was like an elm knot, no matter what he said, he didn't know how to call him. Among the younger generation of his old friends, there is no one who is as taciturn as Shi Qing.
Like her father, Mrs. Li, she cannot be on the table.
"The little master was so good-natured before, you said that she can't speak the west, but if you look at today's little master, she dares to hit Jinzhan in front of you, it's just a different person! "The more old Xu said, the more frightening he felt.
The old man clenched the red chestnut cane in his hand and looked up at Lao Xu, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, should we invite an old man to come and have a look?" Lao Xu said, "The little master's temperament has changed a lot, maybe he can't bear the bad news after being divorced. Getting in by dirty things."
Resurrection?
Speaking of this at night, both of them felt hairy, as if there was an invisible wind blowing in from their backs.
The old man asked Lao Xu to light up the wick, gather the clothes on his shoulders, and put his hands on the cane, "Old Chen should have some way, he knows more about these things."
Elder Chen is the first friend the old man met after he entered Beijing.
The old man said in a deep voice, "Just in time for Mrs. Li's birthday tomorrow, I asked Mr. Chen to bring someone over to take a look, but I want to see, what kind of dirty things can enter the door of my house!"
The old man's idea of exorcising ghosts is completely unknown to Shiqing.
Before she went to bed at night, she had the coffin tightly covered with cloth, and she also sent two daring guards.
She wants to see who dares to steal!
Shi Qing lay on the bed and pulled out the transparent panel again.
The health bar is still the thin bloodskin.
Maybe it has bottomed out, so I can't see whether the health value has decreased after a day.
Shi Qing hides the panel, completely accepting that being able to live one day is the end of one day.
It's like a knife resting on the neck, and only indifference is left after fear.
The old lady is like this, if it doesn't work, it will be destroyed.
Have a good night's sleep and wake up the next morning.
Shi Qing sat dazedly on the bed to wake up, if the panel was still there, she would have thought that life was still on a normal track, flat without sadness and joy, instead of playing every day like now are all limits.
But the limit is exciting!
In the past, Shi Qing always felt that it was not a big deal for the old man to pick on the thorns. He would endure it when he was old, and a gentleman could wait ten years for revenge.
Results—
For a while, the more you think, the more you get angry, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose!
Now it's different, if she's in a hurry like her, revenge can't wait until tomorrow, and the slap should be thrown.
Today her father's birthday, Shi Qing was in a beautiful mood and chose a brighter dress.
Mihe applauded, "Little master looks so good in this talcum powder!"
What does she look good in with this face?
Shi Qing tied himself a high ponytail and tied it with a crown.
many.
"My little lord asked the lord to wear more brightly colored clothes yesterday. If you want me to see, you should also wear more." Mihe bent over to tidy up the sleeves for Shiqing, "Let's go back and let the tailor shop more. Two brightly colored spring clothes were sent, and those gray and navy blue robes like yours in previous years were thrown away."
Shi Qing looked at himself in the bronze mirror and nodded.
It is not impossible.
Shi Qing went to Li's yard after cleaning up.
Although today is Li's birthday, in fact, I didn't invite any guests. I planned to liven up my family casually and give some reward money to the servants in the house.
When the family came to the capital for more than ten years, during this period, the old man had several friends, but Mrs. Li had never made any friends, not like a group of handkerchiefs when they were not married in Qingshan County.
The capital is big, and there are many nobles, standing on the tower and throwing bricks at will, and the people who hit it may be royal family members.
Li used to be quite confident. After all, there is no second man in Qingshan County who is better-looking than him. Even in the capital, his appearance is also top-notch.
But when he arrived in the capital, he felt that he was being compared.
In terms of money, the most important thing in the capital is the rich. In terms of face, the old man said that he looks too flamboyant and does not look like a peaceful person.
Because of his face, the old man gave him a lot of looks in the two years after he got married. What he meant was that he was not a gentleman.
In the past ten years, Mrs. Li has been dressed in plain clothes and not seen by outsiders, just to prove that she is not what he said.
In the end, the old man began to pick on him again, saying that he said he had a flamboyant and unflattering appearance, and there was no talent ink inside.
After being talked about by him for a long time, Mrs. Li felt like a dwarf when she went out, as if all the men she saw were all at the level of the champion, except for him, an illiterate embroidered pillow Old hat, lost Shijia people.
I was wearing this set today, and I only dared to secretly wear the plum-dyed winter robe that I took off and put away after half an hour. .
"Dad." Shi Qing came over.
Lishi seemed to have found the backbone, and asked cautiously, "Will Daddy wear this dress too brightly, and he doesn't look calm and old-fashioned enough."
He hesitated to change his clothes, "Why don't you still wear the dark blue one?"
After all, the master's original wife usually wears solid color clothes.
"We are our own family today, and there are no outsiders, so we don't have to dress so formally. Besides, it's your birthday today, we can wear whatever color we want." Shi Qing cooperated with Mi He, The two of them complimented Li's compliments in a sentence, as if he was an immortal in this outfit.
The main thing is not what to wear, but to let Li regain her confidence and not to be accustomed to the old man. Man, you must reject family pua first.
Li smiled, "Then don't change it, I also think it looks good."
"Where is my mother?" Shi Qing looked around.
Shi Qing could see Li Shi's unease, he was completely unconfident in front of the old man.
The old man came from a scholarly family. Although he was in decline when he got married, he still regarded himself as a lady. In his opinion, a family with no culture and only money like Li is the most vulgar.
That's why he was so angry after Shi Qing was divorced by the Shen family. First, he felt that he lost face, and second, he was somber, talented and civilized in the capital. When he got married, he had a face, which just made up for the regret of his daughter and husband's lack of culture.
When the two arrived, Jinzhan came out to speak.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and put his hand in front of him.
Hey, look at this slap, it's hard and fast.
“…”
The scalp of Calendula was tense, and the two sides of the face began to feel hot and painful.
She didn't dare to be presumptuous, and told the truth, "The old man has just woken up, let you wait here for a while."
This is a deliberate look at the father and daughter.
Li's face showed timidity, maybe it was because she was not wearing the color of clothes that the old man liked.
Shi Qing lifted Li's foot directly into the door and said loudly, "Grandpa is too polite, we will come as soon as we come, and we don't need him to come out to greet him after packing up, we come in and sit by ourselves."
She pushed Li Shi, who was shocked, on the chair, and began to call the servants just like in her own courtyard, "Jinzhan, go and bring a plate of red bean cake, I feel good after eating yesterday. , bring it to my father to taste."
Jinzhan clenched her fingers, Shi Qing looked at her coldly, "Go."
Simple word, heavy on Jinzhan's heart, dare not refute a sentence.
"Yes." Jinzhan reluctantly retreated.
Li looked at Shi Qing in astonishment, Jinzhan was almost the Shi family's little master by default in Shifu, and now she didn't dare to say a word in front of Shi Qing.
Shi Qing shouted, "Lao Xu, Lao Xu!"
She began to call Jinzhan's grandfather, "Why don't you know how to serve tea?"
Mrs. Li wanted to cover Shi Qing's mouth.
Can she call this person? The old man might get angry when he heard it.
Shi Qing shouted a few times, not only calling out Lao Xu, but also calling out the old man.
As long as they don't have these voices, the father and daughter can sit for an hour.
The old man was leaning on crutches and his face was gloomy. Before he started to attack, Shi Qing said first, "How can you let Grandpa come in person for this kind of tea! Lao Xu, why are you so lacking in eyesight? See, in Shifu for so many years, how can you even serve the master?"
"Pour tea," she said lazily, "We don't keep idle people in our house."
The old man's eyes skipped directly and fell on Li Shiqing.
Like a rabbit stared at by an eagle, his cold hair exploded and he let out a low cry, "Dad."
"What are you wearing!" The old man reprimanded.
Li's eyes were red, and before the grievances spread, Shi Qing smashed a teacup on the ground.
Shi Qing stood up and pointed at the tea cup and cursed, "What are these things!"
Everyone didn't react at all, Shi Qing said to the old man, "This tea cup is not very particular, the color is so frivolous, it is not suitable for your eyes at first glance, it is not a serious tea cup. Grandpa, don't worry, I Tomorrow I will bring you a new batch of dark old, east and west ones."
She picked up another tea cup and looked at the old man, "If you don't like the fresh and tender colors, I will help you smash it all today."
The old man breathed heavily, his chest heaved up and down, "You—"
"You don't need to praise me, I know that I am considerate and filial." Shi Qing was sitting in a chair with a teacup in his hand, and asked him with a smile, "Grandpa, do you think my father now Is this dress still eye-catching today?"
The old man clenched his cane tightly, but his forehead was actually sweating.
Now, the more he looks at Shiqing, the more he feels that this child is unfamiliar, maybe there is something dirty on him. He always thought Shi Qingzui was stupid and unpleasant before, but it was better than being ignorant now.
Lao Xu just came in with tea, and in the cold spring season, there was no smoke in the tea cup.
He held the tea in front of Mrs. Li with a smile on his face, with contempt and disdain in his eyes.
Shi Qing slammed a tea cup at his feet with a sullen face, "I reward you, drink it."
Shi Qing lifted his eyelids to look at Lao Xu, then stood up slowly and walked in front of him.
The low and heavy aura was suppressed, "If you live enough, it's not impossible for me to send you the coffin first."
She is very generous when she should be generous.
Lao Xu's face was instantly pale, goosebumps all over his body, and he said shiveringly, "Don't dare to bother the little master, I and the old slave will go to make tea again."
Shi Qing smiled and restrained all the coldness from her body, "Look, isn't this very good at doing things?"
The old man looked at Shang Shiqing and almost passed out with anger.
Shi Qing asked Mihe to clean the tea cups on the floor, and said to the old man, "Grandpa, wake up, Shi's family has changed."
I don't like your way of suppressing people.
