I didn't notice it when I was doing things before, but when I stopped, I realized that several of them hadn't eaten since last night and were already hungry. But look at this shabby place. It's either rubble or rubble. There's nothing edible anywhere.
The only one we can count on is the two men named Mao, but will they be so kind as to bring food?
As long as you use your brain a little bit, you will know that they are sent by the Nala clan. If you don't harm them, you are already Amitabha, and you also send food?
"Don't worry, they will definitely send it." Ling Ruo squinted at the winter sky above his head and said: "The reason why Nala sent me to another courtyard is simply because he was afraid that if I stayed in Wuhua Pavilion, the prince would not be able to completely
Forget, euphemistically name it
Eliminate violence and cultivate Buddhism. If I died just a few days after arriving, and I was still starving to death, how could she, the person who arranged this matter, escape the involvement. So, even if she hates me to the core, she will not be able to do it for a while.
Don’t dare to act rashly.”
Ling Ruo's guess was correct. At this moment, Mao Da and Mao Er were walking around with food boxes looking for them. After searching for them for a long time through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Mao dropped the food boxes to the ground with great dignity.
Yi Tou cursed angrily: "Where did that bitch go? He actually kept me looking for him for so long. If he really pissed me off, I would let them have no food to eat."
"Brother, don't be angry." Mao Er casually picked up the food that had been dumped in the snow and sneered: "I guess they are hiding in a corner crying right now. How have such pampered women ever suffered? Look at
, or you will be driven crazy in a few days!”
"It's best if she goes crazy as soon as possible so that we can do this job as soon as possible." Mao Da said angrily: "If it weren't for the sake of money, I wouldn't do this job!"
"If she's not crazy, let's find a way to make her crazy." Mao Er smiled sinisterly, showing a bit of lust again, "Speaking of which, that woman is really beautiful, just like a fairy, just like a fairy.
The little girl next to her is also quite pretty, do you think we should..."
"I want your head!" Mao Da slapped him hard on the head and said: "There are a lot of women in brothels, so don't make any plans that you shouldn't. That person told me that you can drive her crazy.
Don't do anything else. You kid, hurry up.
Keep your lust away, otherwise you will get into trouble. Don't blame me as your brother for not warning you." He and Mao Er were brothers. They had been in the market since they were young. Later, they made enemies and had no choice but to defect to the Yongjun Prince's Mansion.
, became a nursing home, and had the right to take refuge.
Yesterday, someone rushed over, claiming to be from Prince Yong's Mansion, and told them that later, a deposed woman would come from the other courtyard, and asked them to take good care of her, and not allow the woman to step out of the other courtyard, and try to find a way
Make the woman go crazy, and if it succeeds, give each of them five hundred taels of silver. This amount of money will be enough for them to live comfortably for a long time.
However, before leaving, the man also warned them not to think about anything other than what they were told, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
Although Nala hated Ling Ruo very much, Ling Ruo had always been a member of the royal family. Even if she had been deposed as a commoner, this fact could not be changed. As the direct descendant of the fourth elder brother, Fujin, she had no choice but to take into account the royal face; therefore, let
It was the best choice for the Mao brothers to drive Ling Ruo crazy. Only the dead and madmen could not threaten her.
After walking around in a long circle, the Mao brothers finally found Ling Ruo and the others behind them. They caught a glimpse of two rooms that had obviously been repaired. Their pupils shrank, and they looked at each other and pretended to be nonchalant and shouted: "Hello.
, you guys, it’s time to eat.”
Mo Yu was very hungry. Seeing that they had brought the food as Ling Ruo said, she couldn't help but feel happy. She quickly stepped forward to take the food box that was handed to her. As soon as she opened it, her face collapsed. There were only three bowls of rice in it.
There was only a plate of pickles and bangzi, which was cold and stained with snow. She was so angry that she said, "How can this be eaten by people?"
"If it's not for people, why should it be for pigs?" Mao Da sneered and said unceremoniously: "It's good to eat some, but you are picky and picky. Do you really think that you are still a Fujin in the palace?"
"Yes, if you don't want to eat it, just give it to us and save a meal of food!" Mao Er said in a sly tone while pretending to take the food box back.
Li Wei hurriedly stopped in front of Mo Yu and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't argue with her, what can a little girl like her know?" Then he stuffed some broken silver into Mao Da's hand, "There are still many things to do in the future.
Rely on the two big brothers."
Mao Da weighed the money in his hand, winked at Mao Er and said, "You still talk like a human being, that's all right. Eat slowly and bring the food box back to us later."
"Hey, don't worry, brothers, I'll send it to you in a minute." Li Wei nodded and bowed, which made Mo Yu angry for a while. After they left, he said angrily: "Those two are just hooligans, why should you be polite to them!
"
"Do you think I am willing? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. If you don't offend them, at least you will have food to eat. Otherwise, you will be hungry." Li Wei took out the rice and handed it to Ling Ruo in a low voice.
: "Master, you are hungry, you eat first."
Ling Ruo nodded and took the rice. After seeing her use her chopsticks, Li and Wei each took a bowl. The rice was cold and hard, which made it gritty and unpalatable. The pickles were even more sour.
It was bitter and couldn't be swallowed at all, but the three of them were very hungry, and besides this rice, there was nothing else that could fill their stomachs, so they had to eat it no matter how unpalatable it was.
Moreover, the Mao brothers did not leave, but hid in a corner to monitor them. I thought that such a pampered master must not be able to stand the lowest-quality brown rice. Unexpectedly, the woman did not say a word, but instead
I ate more than half of the bowl of rice.
"Brother, your idea doesn't seem to be working well." Mao Er said, frowning his broom-like eyebrows.
Mao Dayin smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't worry, the days are long, and we will definitely not be able to escape with five hundred taels of silver per person." He glanced at the bright sky and said: "Just wait, there will be a good show after dark."
He patted Mao Er on the shoulder and turned around and said, "Let's go back and get some sleep first, so that we can have the energy to sing the show well at night."
It wasn't until they left that Ling Ruo's feeling of being watched disappeared. She calmly glanced at the place where the Mao brothers were hiding and said to Li Wei, "Where did you get the money?"
Li Weizheng was guessing when Ling Ruo would ask this, he smiled immediately, put down the empty porcelain bowl and said: "I know that the master is coming to the other courtyard, and I thought that I might need money outside, so I will take advantage of it."
When I was cleaning up, I brought over all the money I had saved. Not only the slave himself, but also Xiao Luzi and him
All our money was given to the slaves. Fortunately, Sanfu only focused on the master and did not pay attention to the slaves, otherwise the money would not have been saved." As he spoke, he carefully took out a money bag from his arms and opened it to see what was inside.
There was a bag full of broken silver, which was worth several cents. I don’t know how long Li Wei and the others had been saving it.
