Chapter 119: Keep your eyes open and look carefully
Back in Lanting Courtyard, the sun had already set, and he had already missed dinner time, thinking that there was still a bunch of things to clean up, Yao Xian comforted himself that he would not die of hunger if he didn't eat a meal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After this period of time, the house was not as humid as it was at the beginning, but it was still cold, and after changing the bedding, Yao Xi began to clean all corners of the house again, and there was a well in the yard, which was very convenient for water.
There was dust everywhere on the threshold on the table and floor, Yao Xi swept it inside and out, and the people were also warm, but he didn't feel how cold it was in the house, and when everything was cleaned up, he was about to take a breath, when he suddenly heard a noise next door.
At most, there is Lou Yudan and the maid who takes care of her in this courtyard, Yao Yan thought about it, or went out to take a look, after all, he will live here for a long time in the future, and a courtyard will always say hello if he looks up and doesn't look down.
Before he pushed the door, Yao Xi smelled the smell of oil smoke, and instantly understood that this Lou Yudan was indeed worthy of being the daughter of the prison, and there was her private stove in the courtyard.
She pushed the door and walked in, and saw a woman busy chopping vegetables, and the pot had oil in it, and black smoke had begun to rise.
"What do you call Auntie?" she walked over to the stove and sat down, shoveled some ash and covered the firewood with a smaller fire.
The mother-in-law, who was busy chopping vegetables, was taken aback coldly, almost lost the kitchen knife in her hand, turned her head and looked at Yao Shi with palpitations, and after a while, she came to her senses:
"It turned out to be a girl, scared the old woman, when did the girl come? Just now the mother-in-law came into your house to take a look, but no one was seen, I wanted to ask the girl if she had dinner, and the mother-in-law cooked it together, and the girl called the mother-in-law Li Ma. ”
This person should be the lady who specializes in cooking for Lou Yudan, Yao Yan shouted with a smile: "Aunt Li, I won't eat the meal, but please leave me some of your charcoal fire later, the humidity in my house is too heavy." ”
Mrs. Li had entered Yao Shi's house, and she knew what was going on inside, Yao Shi was so approachable, and she called her aunt, and she spoke a lot more intimately, "There is a lot of charcoal, do you really not eat a little? ”
"Okay, Miss gave you money, you are so ruined, go back and let Miss fine you for a month. "A person who looks like a maid came in unexpectedly outside the door, although he was wearing the clothes of a maid, but he was arrogant and lived like a master.
This maid was served by Lou Yudan's side, Yao Xi remembered that her name was Xueya, and she had seen it a few times when she was in Xicheng.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale: "Miss Lou personally instructed her to do more, and her mother-in-law ---- at this time."
"You explain, I've seen it, where did the wild girl come from to steal our young lady's things, believe it or not, I will take you to the prison immediately and drive you out of the thief. ”
Yao Shi chuckled lightly and spread his hands: "When and where did you see me eating, drinking, and stealing?"
You insulted my reputation first, but I really want to go to the prison to reason and see what I stole from you. ”
Xue Ya was choked and speechless, but she refused to admit defeat like this, thought about it and said strongly: "You stole our young lady's dinner, I heard it with my own ears just now, we can live here without charging you money, but the food is not said to be eaten for free, do you give money? Do you know how much our young lady gets for this meal?"
Yao Yan smiled even more, "This meal hasn't been cooked yet, what did I steal and tell me?"
"You --- you called an attempt to steal food, if I hadn't come early, you would have eaten secretly. Xue Ya relied on the fact that she was Lou Yudan's personal maid, and she didn't take Yao Yan, a poor man, in her eyes at all.
Yao Yan smiled and got up, "Then you have to keep an eye on it next time." ”
Mrs. Li was very embarrassed, in fact, before Yao Shi came, she saw Lou Yudan's actions, but she was really hard to say anything, so she could only be invisible.
Yao Shi's girl, Mrs. Li, looked very good and liked it very much, and when Xue Ya left, she secretly packed two pots of charcoal fire and sent them to Yao Shi's house.
"Miss Yao, I saw that it was very cold in your house, so I brought you two pots of charcoal. ”
Yao Xi was very grateful, got up and welcomed Mrs. Li into the house, and asked, "Miss Lou eats here on weekdays, right?"
"Yes, I'm here to cook and clean the house for Miss Lou, and her mouth is picky, and she can't be sloppy at all. Mrs. Li should have talked to Yao Shi in a homely manner.
"No, eldest lady, the mouth is naturally tricky, presumably many men in the academy want to be the Lou family's son-in-law, Miss Lou is really beautiful. Yao Yan held his cheeks and said without being salty.
Mrs. Li laughed, "No, before the girl came, almost everyone in this academy liked Miss Lou, but in the future, I'm afraid the girl will have to become a hot person."
To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a real daughter's family studying in the academy, even if Miss Lou is only studying in the Budan Pavilion. ”
"Miss Lou has a separate attic?" Yao was a little surprised.
Mrs. Li was stunned, "Could it be that Miss Lou didn't get together?"
Yao Xian smiled: "If you really share it together, then you will endure hardship, since you have been elected to enter the academy, how can I care about eating and living with men." "I think that when the county exam was taken, Lei Zhen arranged to live in one place in order to embarrass her.
Mrs. Li is still a little worried: "The daughter's family is different from the man's family, if the girl is really mixed in, I am afraid that she will be embarrassed." ”
Yao Xian smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that it is indispensable to be embarrassed, but it is difficult to distinguish between men and women." ”
Mrs. Li knew that she was referring to Lou Yudan, and sighed, very incomprehensible: "Maybe Miss Lou just has some misunderstanding about the girl, I think the girl is a funny person." ”
"Thank you---- Yao Xian laughed, "There are so many people in the academy, it is very difficult to stand out among Miss Lou's followers." ”
"But no, take that young master of the Liu family as an example, he sat on the snow for a night in the cold winter last year, just to let Miss Lou take a look at him, no one knew about it at first, and he almost died when he found out later. "Mrs. Li feels scary when she thinks about it, it's a living human life.
Yao Shi was also surprised, he didn't expect it to come to this point, "What's the name of that Young Master Liu?"
"His name is Liu Wen, a thin and tall young man who looks very good, but he is also too obsessed with Miss Lou, so he almost killed himself. Mrs. Li shook her head with emotion.
Yao Shi bowed slightly, he could make such a crazy move, as long as he was slightly poured into ecstasy soup, he could not even want his life, how could he care if he offended someone, this Liu Wen was obviously a thin and tall man who played tricks in the morning.
"I heard that the mountain chief is not in the academy all the year round, everything is in charge of the prison, and the prison can still teach?"
"The prison does not teach, there are many affairs in the academy, and the prison handles affairs in the Wenshu Pavilion on weekdays, and we can't see anyone on weekdays. ”
Yao Shi suddenly said, "The name of the Wenshu Pavilion ---- is elegant, I really want to see what it looks like." ”
Mrs. Li smiled again: "It's not something that ordinary people can go to, you can take a look outside at most." ”
"It's okay to look outside. Yao smiled.
Because Mrs. Li is not much older than the Yan family, and the people are friendly, Yao Shi likes it very much, and the two chatted for a long time before Mrs. Li left, and by the way, she also left a baked sweet potato for Yao Shi.
Yao Yan couldn't refuse her hospitality, and heard that this sweet potato was brought by Mrs. Li's own family, so she accepted it, ate the sweet potato and read a book for a while, and calculated that she would get up early tomorrow, so she rested early.
The first day in the academy, although the room seemed deserted, but Yao Xian's heart was steady, she would study here for three years in the future, and she only hoped that after three years of study, she could become a different version of herself.
