The book is picked up again.
Speaking of Chen Jingji, he came in from the shop in the morning to look for clothes and walked to the door of the garden corner. A little boy was playing there, and when he saw Chen Jingji holding a pair of silver mesh blindfolds in his hand, he asked, "Brother, what are you holding?"Play for me. ”
Jing Ji said: "This is someone else's thing, I came to find a ransom to redeem it." I found it and plan to return it. ”
The little boy smiled and said, "Brother, you give it to me, and I will exchange it for a good thing with you." ”
Jing Ji said, "Little child, this is someone else's. If you want, I'll find you another one that's different from this one. Do you have any good stuff to show me?”
The little boy took out a red embroidered shoe from his waist and showed it to Jing Ji. Jing Ji asked, "This is **?."”
The little boy smiled and said, "Brother, I'll just tell you." Yesterday I was playing in the garden and saw my father dangling my mother's legs under the grape trellis. Later, when my father returned to the house, I asked Miss Chunmei for some fruit to eat, and I picked up this shoe under the grape trellis. ”
Jing Ji took it and took a look: the curve was like a crescent moon, red like a lotus petal, and it was just three inches long in his hand. He knew that this was the shoe that Jin Lian was wearing, so he said, "You give it to me, and I'll change you into a good mesh mask tomorrow." ”
The little boy said, "Brother, don't lie to me, I will come to you tomorrow." ”
Jing Ji said, "I won't lie to you. ”
The little boy laughed and walked away.
Jing Ji hid his shoes in his sleeve and thought, "I have played with him many times, and he is always brave." I didn't expect the shoes to fall into my hands today. Now I'm going to make a good joke on him and get him into trouble. ”
Exactly: "Now that people don't have to pay to hire people, smart opportunities are coming." ”
Chen Jingji hid his shoes in his sleeve and went straight to Pan Jinlian's room. He walked around the shadow wall and saw Qiu Ju kneeling in the courtyard, so he jokingly said, "Miss, why are you here?"Was he drafted by the new army and picked up the stones again?”
Jin Lian heard it upstairs, so she asked, "Who said that the slave brought the stone?"Could it be that he doesn't want to live anymore?”
Chunmei said: "It's his brother-in-law who came." Qiu Ju is holding a stone. ”
The woman called, "Brother-in-law Chen, there is no one upstairs, come up." ”
The young man walked slowly upstairs, only to see the woman upstairs open two windows, hang a curtain embroidered in Hunan embroidery, and dress up in front of the mirror. Chen Jingji walked to the side and sat down on a small stool, and saw the woman's pitch-black hair, holding a comb in her hand, still hanging to the ground, red silk rope tied into a bun, wearing a silver silk bun, and a wisp of fragrance, with many rose petals inserted in the bun, revealing her double bun, dressed as if she was alive. In a moment, the woman finished combing her hair, let go of the dressing table, washed her hands, put on her clothes, and Mei brought tea to her brother-in-law. Chen Jingji just smiled and didn't answer. The woman asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at?"”
Chen Jingji said: "I laugh at you, you must have lost something." ”
The woman said, "You short-lived fellow!."I lost something, what's the matter with you?How do you know?”
Chen Jingji said: "Look, I am kind like a fool, but you have wronged me. In that case, I'm leaving. ”
He was about to go downstairs, but was grabbed by the woman and said, "Damn short life, it's really strong!."Laiwang's daughters-in-law are dead, and without your thoughts, how can you still treat me as a mother. ”
Then he asked, "Guess what I lost?"”
Chen Jingji took it out of his sleeve, shook his shoes, and said with a smile: "Look, whose is this?".”
The woman said, "Damn the short-lived, you stole my shoes!"I ordered the girls to look everywhere. ”
Chen Jingji said: "How did you know that the shoes were in my hands?”
The woman said, "Who else is in my house?"It must have been you, the petty thief, who stole my shoes. ”
Chen Jingji said: "You old woman is really not ashamed. I haven't been in your room for the past two days, how can I steal your shoes?”
The woman said, "Damn the short-lived, wait until I tell your father that you will dare to be ashamed of stealing my shoes." ”
Chen Jingji said: "You'd better use your father to scare me." ”
The woman said: "You are really a coward, you know that Laiwang's daughter-in-law is your **, and you still tease her, you have never had the slightest scruples!."Since you didn't steal my shoes, how could these shoes end up in your hands?Admit it quickly and give me back your shoes, or you will die at my hands. ”
Chen Jingji said: "Old lady, you are really a difficult woman, you really know how to play tricks. There is no one here, so we can talk about it: since you want shoes, take one thing to exchange, otherwise you won't be able to take it away even if the sky thunders. ”
The woman said, "Damn short life!."My shoes should be returned to me, why do you want me to change them?”
Chen Jingji smiled and said, "Wu Niang, you give the handkerchief in your sleeve to your son as a reward, and your son will give you shoes." ”
The woman said, "To-morrow I will find another good handkerchief, which your father has often seen, and which is not suitable for you." ”
Chen Jingji said: "No, it doesn't count if I give me a hundred other things, I just need your old man's handkerchief." ”
The woman smiled and said, "What a stubborn short life!."I don't have the strength to argue with you. ”
So he took out from his sleeve a delicate white silk handkerchief, on which even the name of the silver was plundered to him. There is a poem as evidence: Lang Jun saw the concubine go down the Lan step and came to ask for slender red embroidered shoes. Regardless of the mud hidden in his sleeves, it is only said that this matter is harmonious.
Chen Jingji hurriedly took the handkerchief and bowed deeply to her. The woman advised, "Hide well, don't let the eldest sister see it, her mouth is not clean." ”
Chen Jingji said: "I know. ”
He handed the shoe, and explained, "This is what the little iron rod picked up yesterday in the garden, and today it asks me to play with the scarf button." ”
Explained it like this. When the woman heard this, her face turned red, and she said, "Look at this abominable little minion, who has made my shoes so black!."Wait until I tell his dad to beat him and see if he dares. ”
Chen Jingji said: "Don't be angry with him, it doesn't matter if you beat him, dragging it out and getting involved with me, that's what I said." Don't say it. ”
The woman said, "I will spare this little servant, unless I spare the scorpion." ”
The two were talking lively, when they suddenly heard the little girl An'er coming to find him: "Dad asked my brother-in-law to write an invitation in the front hall." ”
The woman hurriedly urged him to go out. She went downstairs and asked Chunmei to bring the board and beat Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju refused to lie down and said: "I found my mother's shoes, and my mother will beat me!."”
The woman showed her the shoes Chen Jingji had taken and scolded: "Damn slave, you put this as my shoe and that one as the **?"”
Qiu Ju looked at it for a long time, and said in a daze: "This is really a magical ghost, how could my mother's three shoes come out?"”
The woman said, "What a bold servant!"Whose shoes are you fooling me with and saying I have three legs??”
Without listening to her explanation, the woman asked Chunmei to push Qiu Ju down and beat her ten times. Qiu Ju was beaten and hugged her thighs and cried, glanced at Chunmei, and said, "You opened the door, let people in, stole my mother's shoes, and now my mother is still beating me." ”
Chunmei scolded angrily: "You actually dare to make your mother's bed, and then the shoes are gone, your mother beat you a few times, and you dare to complain!."Fortunately, these shoes are very old, if the hair ornament on the mother's head is missing, will you also find an excuse to shirk it?My mother felt sorry for you and only hit you a few times. If it were me, I'd find a little guy and play twenty or thirty boards hotly, and see what happens to you, a slave!”
A few words of scolding made Qiu Ju swallow her anger and dare not speak again.
