tiger wife

"Hey, why didn't you sleep with the eldest lady..." He smiled mischievously, and the word "jue" was swallowed back by him.He felt that Li Jinzhong looked at him a little strangely, so he turned his head and continued to look at the moon outside.

I don't know who is so good at playing the flute in the winter night.Li Jinzhong came over and suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"

Axiu stared blankly at the moon in the sky, sighed, and said, "I miss my parents."

Li Jinzhong turned his head and saw the genuine sadness in Axiu's eyes, which were as deep as the water of a lake.Axiu raised her head and said quietly: "As long as I live in this world, I won't see them for a day, so the longer the time, the more anxious and sad I feel in my heart. I don't know if they are in another world." What is the world like now?"

He was really sad. For a boy of his age, the softest part of his heart might be family affection, so his heart was sour and his nose was sore, which was very unpleasant.The exhaled white steam quickly disappeared, Li Jinzhong suddenly picked him up and said, "Don't lie on your stomach by the window, it's so cold."

He carried him directly onto the bed, and Axiu's heart softened suddenly, she hugged Li Jinzhong's waist for some reason, and said, "I thought you were angry and refused to talk to me anymore."

What if Li Jinzhong regained his love for those two women, heard about the pillow scandal, and wanted to throw him out? He would either fall into Li Tianba's clutches or become a beggar, or a beggar who might be crippled. .

Li Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, then hugged him back, and said in a deep voice, "You also know how to be afraid?"

When Axiu didn't speak, Li Jinzhong sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't ignore you. Since I said what I said, I will do it."

After taking a reassurance, Axiu let go of her arm.He burrowed into the bed and said, "It's been three months, and I still can't walk. My legs still hurt when I walk."

"I'll ask the doctor to look at it tomorrow." Li Jinzhong squatted down in front of him, and suddenly called out, "Axiu."

He opened his eyes and looked at Li Jinzhong's face.Li Jinzhong looked at him and said: "Whether it's in name or not, you are already mine. Don't think about the second master in the future. No matter how good he is, he has no chance with you. You have to know how to give up."

Axiu laughed and said: "You act like I like Li Tianba. I don't think he is good, and I don't like him, so there is nothing to give up."

"You are a hairy child, you know what you like or not." Li Jinzhong stood up and said, "I have already told you what I said, and you can weigh it yourself in the future."

Axiu knew how to read words and expressions, and she really made a clear distinction with Li Tianba in the future.As the end of the new year approached, the mansion was very lively, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, Li Jinzhong's business seemed to be busy as well, he had to go out at dawn all day and come back after dark, so Li Tianba came to see him in his spare time.Axiu pretended to be sleepy and kept sleeping on the bed, Li Tianba asked Aying, "What medicine did you take, why did you keep sleeping?"

"I didn't take any medicine." Ah Ying looked at Axiu who was lying on the bed, and said, "He was fine just now, how about I help Second Master wake him up?"

"Forget it." Li Tianba sighed, walked to the bedside and glanced at Axiu, and suddenly said, "I know you're pretending to be asleep, but you're scared because my brother won't let you see me?"

Axiu still closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, Li Tianba said again: "Whenever you want to talk to me, just go to me, no matter what time you come to me, I will always be there."

Li Tianba left after finishing speaking, Axiu sat up from the bed, let out a sigh of relief, stared at Aying and said, "Why did you tell the second master that I was fine just now, do you have to tell the uncle Sue you?!"

His evil servant's face was very effective, Ah Ying immediately languished, although her tone was still a little unconvinced: "You didn't tell me, how do I know you don't want to see the second master."

The house was so lively with lights and festoons, but he couldn't go anywhere.At the end of the year, the mansion also gave red envelopes to the servants, two hundred yuan per person. Although it was not much, everyone in the mansion was very happy.Moreover, the servants were given a holiday, and everyone can go home to see their parents and relatives before returning. This is very humane.Chunsui and Shitou went home immediately, only Fatty, who had no relatives or reason, ran over to play with him.Axiu said: "You can go to the ruined temple to have a look, and help me say hello to Grandpa Zhang by the way."

"I won't go back to that place. I won't miss that place for the rest of my life." The fat man sat on a chair and ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "You are really a blessing in disguise, how kind the uncle is to you now! By the way, the uncle rewarded you How much silver?"

"A silver reward?"

"That's right, didn't the lord reward you? I heard that the ladies and wives in the mansion all received a lot more money than usual. Who doesn't want to buy new clothes and jewelry for the New Year? You didn't, the lord didn't reward you." you?"

"No." Axiu said, "I'm different from them."

Even though he said so verbally, as soon as Li Jinzhong came back at night, Axiu started to calculate.He pretended to be rambunctious and chatted a few words with Li Jinzhong, then secretly changed the topic to money and said, "I heard that the uncle rewarded many people during the Chinese New Year. Is this true?"

Li Jinzhong was really fooled, and asked: "Do you also want to ask for a reward?"

A Xiu giggled, and said: "Then... if the uncle wants to give this servant a favor, this servant has no choice but to..."

Li Jinzhong looked at him and laughed, and said: "If you want to give it, I will give you a big favor, just wait."

Axiu didn't wait for Li Jinzhong's grace, but she waited for Da Furen's.Ah Ying came over early the next morning to deliver the money, and said: "The lady said, everyone has money during the Chinese New Year, and you are no exception. You can't stop giving you money just because the uncle doesn't speak. Your money is Half of the third lady and the second lady, take it."

Axiu felt that this half of the silver was the eldest lady who wanted to mention him, which meant that he was not even half a concubine, although everyone slept with Li Jinzhong.But he didn't care about it, took it over and saw, good guy, it's actually a full 30 taels.

He smiled at Ah Yingxi and said, "Thank you, Madam, for me."

Having learned the lesson from the last time the silver was stolen, this time Axiu was extremely cautious and planned to hide the silver in the safest place he thought.But his room was so big that he didn't feel safe hiding it in a cupboard under the bed. Later, he thought about it and came up with a good idea, so he asked Ah Ying to borrow a shovel for him.

Ah Ying was surprised and asked, "What do you want a shovel for, and you can't move around?"

"It is a tradition in our hometown to put a shovel under the bed during Chinese New Year."

After all, Ah Ying is a girl who has never seen anything in the world, so she believed such a lie, she just laughed and said, "You guys are really weird, you are weird, and your hometown is also weird."

This is the difference between liking it and not liking it. It is also because of his uniqueness. In the eyes of Li Jinzhong, it is special, but in the eyes of Ah Ying, it is weird.He took the shovel in his hand, and took advantage of the time when Ah Ying went home to visit relatives, he climbed down from the bed, lay down on the ground, lifted the blanket and began to dig the floor with the shovel.He planned to stick out a blue brick to put the silver.

As a result, Li Jinzhong came in just after he was halfway up. Seeing him lying on the ground, he thought he had fallen off the bed, so he ran over and said, "Why did you fall, where is Ah Ying?"

Axiu felt that it was all right to ask Li Jinzhong to know his method of hiding money. He is so rich and the head of the family should not steal his money, so he said bluntly: "I am digging green bricks."

"Digging bricks?"

"My silver was stolen last time. This time, it can't be stolen again. The lady just rewarded me with 30 taels of silver. I plan to hide it in a secret place. After much deliberation, I plan to hide it under a brick. No one else would have thought of it!"

"Madam rewarded you money?"

"Well, here it is!" Panting, Ah Xiu took out the silver from under the pillow: "Look, it's 30 taels, much more generous than you, you gave me a few copper coins last time!"

"No need to dig, no one dares to steal your silver." Li Jinzhong said and was about to pull him: "Get up."

"How do you know that no one dares to steal it? It was stolen last time. No, this is my silver. If you don't feel sorry for me, I will love you. I have to hide it."

As Xiu said he wanted to continue digging, Li Jinzhong immediately picked him up, put him on the bed and said, "No one will steal it this time. I guarantee that if someone steals it again, I will pay you back."

"you said?"

Li Jinzhong nodded and asked, "What did you do today?"

"I didn't do anything, I was lying on the bed."

Li Jinzhong nodded, suddenly someone called him outside, saying that there was a visitor from the house.

"You lie down first, and I'll come to see you when you're eating." Li Jinzhong put all his silver in the drawer, and suddenly asked, "30 taels of silver is not enough for you to go on a long trip, right?"

Axiu froze for a moment: "What?"

"Didn't you say that when you have saved enough money, you will leave here and go to see all over the world, 30 taels of silver is not enough for your money, right?"

"It depends on how you spend it. 300 taels of silver are spent at 300 taels of silver, and 30 taels of silver are spent at 30 taels of silver. They are different. I heard that 30 taels is not too little, and saving a little is enough to spend half a year." Well." After Axiu answered seriously, she showed a look of contempt: "And according to your reward of three copper coins and three copper coins, I can't save 30 taels after 30 years!"

Li Jinzhong's face remained silent, and finally he raised his stiff eyebrows and said, "...I'll come back to see you and call a doctor over by the way."

Axiu watched Li Jinzhong walk out, lay on the bed and recollected what Li Jinzhong had just said.He thought that he had ridiculed Li Jinzhong's stinginess to him twice just now, Li Jinzhong should have a long memory, remember to reward him more in the future.

But something happened that he didn't expect.

Li Jinzhong brought a doctor over during dinner, and said he was the best bone setter in Luoyang City. He touched his leg, put a plaster on him, and asked for ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver, that's too damn much, drinking human blood.Although Li Jinzhong took the money for him to see a doctor, he didn't need to worry about medical expenses, but as a slave, as a slave who would save money for his master and know how to please him, Axiu was not happy, and asked: "Why?" It’s so expensive, usually they would charge me at most three slings for my injuries.”

"This is a plaster made with an exclusive secret recipe. I guarantee that it will be effective after a few days. It's different, so it's a little more expensive."

The doctor said so, and seeing that the doctor had a kind face, he didn't look like a swindler, Axiu recognized it, and climbed back into the bed by herself.

He used to do this all the time, and after seeing the doctor, it's nothing to do with him.

But this time, Li Jinzhong looked at him and said, "You haven't paid the doctor yet."

Axiu sat up quickly, looked at Li Jinzhong in a daze, and then at the doctor next to her; "Give me money?"

Manager Liu on the side said: "There is no one who doesn't pay for medical treatment. In the past, the mansion paid for you, but there was no custom in the mansion to see a doctor for the servants. They paid for the doctor themselves. You Not only do you have to pay the money this time, but you also have to pay back the money that was advanced for you in the account of the previous mansion."

Seeing this situation, the doctor said with a sly smile, "It's a doctor's heart, it doesn't matter if you don't give money, and it doesn't matter."

Even though the doctor said so, Axiu couldn't do that. He didn't understand what was going on for a while, but he still gave the doctor ten taels of silver.After taking out the money, his eyes turned red, a little sad, and he turned to look at Li Jinzhong.

Li Jinzhong said in a quiet voice, "Go get a pot of hot tea."

Guanshi Liu coughed, and said next to him: "By the way, there is another thing, not only the money up front has to be advanced, but in the future, the doctor will also have to pay for it himself, and the government will not advance it."

Axiu was about to cry, her expression was dazed, her little face was flushed red.
