Chapter 4 Sir, Please
When Shao Manchu straightened up and planned to say thank you solemnly, he only felt that his legs and feet were weak, and Venus was rising, and he 'poofed'...... Fell back onto the kang.
"What's going on!" the startled old willow hurriedly shook it, but in the next moment he heard a sound like thunder.
......'Gollum'......
With just one sound, Shao Manchu's face turned red.
It turned out that he hadn't eaten a drop of rice that day, and he was provoked by this bowl of hot medicinal soup, and his belly was full of protests.
Hearing this, Lao Liu Bo laughed, patted Shao Manchu's shoulder, and dropped a sentence: "Wait." Then he turned and went out of the house.
But half an hour later, when he returned, he had two more hot potatoes in his hand.
The skin of the artichoke eggs is burnt yellow, and the appearance is ordinary, but the smell is really fragrant.
"Eat!" Liu Bo stuffed the artichoke into Shao Manchu's hand, and watched him tear the black skin open, before he took out a small straw paper envelope from his arms, and unfolded it with a clatter, revealing three or five gray coarse salt particles inside.
Later, he picked up the coarse paper, slightly oblique for three points, and carefully shook the salt grains on the surface of the snow-white artichoke meat, as if offering treasures, and said: "Eat, eat some salt to have energy." ”
"In a while, I'm going to see the master, how can I do if I don't have the energy?"
Shao Manchu, who said this, had a sour nose, hurriedly lowered his head, and stuffed most of the potato balls into his mouth.
Just stuffed two or three mouthfuls, and when Liu Bo filled the tea bowl on the side, he 'bang'...... The doorway of the porter was pushed open from the outside.
Liu Erzi entered the house with a cold breath and shouted to the people in the house: "Dad, has the boy of the Shao family woken up?"
"Just outside the house, I met the person who spoke for the big housekeeper, and asked me to take Shao Manchu to the inner courtyard, and the old man said that he wanted to meet this child. ”
That's good news!
It's a pity that Liu Er didn't get any response because of his sudden intrusion...... Let Shao Man, who was eating a lot in the house...... I choked on the potato face.
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
'Knock knock knock ......'
Seeing Shao Manchu's little face flushed and hammering his chest, what else did the old Liu family not understand?
He hurriedly handed over the tea bowl by the kang and poured it down according to his mouth.
And Liu Er, who had caused trouble, was even more shocked, jumped up one step at a time, and shone on Shao Manho's back...... A burst of hammers.
The thin young man of the hammer rolled his eyes, causing Uncle Liu to beat him violently.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! The house doctor finally rescued the child, and then asked you to give a good shot, I see how you can explain to the master!"
"Second son, you second goods!You just transferred to the escort team, you floated!!"
Liu Er is called a grievance, and he doesn't have a heart!?
Shao Manchu, who was only provoked by the hammer, was a little ashamed, hurriedly pulled his shoes and got off the kang, and stood in the middle of the two men to persuade him: "Old Uncle Liu, second brother of the Liu family, let's stop arguing!"
"Lai me, I'm just in a hurry. Thanks to the second brother who beat me a few times, this is not, it will be smooth all of a sudden. ”
"Let's hurry up and see the master of the Chu family, the first master has a great grace to save my life, and I can't let the big benefactor wait for this little person, right?"
This sentence can be regarded as a wake-up call for the two members of the Liu family, so that the father and son who are entangled together to stage a full martial arts ...... Hurriedly separated.
"Yes, yes, yes, the matter of the first master is important, second son, hurry, hurry up and take Shao Xiaozi into the yard, and only after the matter is done can you have a good year." ”
Liu Er, who listened to it, snorted, nodded, and walked to the inner courtyard with Shao Manchu, who was still a little vain in his steps.
The two of them passed through a crooked corridor, through two inner arched walls, and after walking a blue and white stone path, they came to a hall with an open outer door.
Although the door was open, it was not unconcealed.
Two indigo cotton curtains hung on the door frame, hiding the winter chill from the outside.
Walking here, Liu Er stopped, he stood at the foot of the steps of the outer hall, and said to the inside: "The chief steward, Liu Er from the outer courtyard brought the Shao family's full hoard to meet the master!"
The voice fell, and after three or four breaths, a little maid wearing a short blue floral cotton jacket opened the curtain outside.
From the indistinguishable inside of the black hole came the voice of the chief steward: "Bring people in." ”
No more than a word.
Liu Er, who got the order, picked up Shao Manchu again, and took the kid to drill through the crack of the steaming curtain and enter the hall.
In this process, Shao Manchu didn't dare to raise his head, only looked at his feet.
He had just crossed the threshold when he exhaled in front of his face, and was sprayed by the heat in the house, dispelling away the cold that had just been contaminated from the outside of the house.
The outer hall where people come and go is actually a little hotter than Uncle Liu's small porter.
"Ahem......"
When he looked up again, Shao Manchu saw an old man with a slightly flowery beard, eyebrows swept down, and a bit of loyalty.
When he didn't know what to call him, the old man in a yellow-gray cotton robe smiled at him slightly, breaking Shao Manho's dilemma.
"Boy from the Shao family, come with me. ”
After speaking, he nodded to Liu Er, this is to let Liu Er leave, and only Shao Manchu can follow. After the meaning was indicated, the chief steward walked with his back hand to the back door of the outer hall with an unhurried pace.
Seeing this, Shao Manchu let go of Liu Er's arm, bowed deeply to the man who had reached out to help, raised his strength, followed closely behind the chief steward, and walked towards the back door together.
Seeing this, the servant by the door hurriedly pushed open the two carved red lacquer doors, and behind the door was a curved screen carved with mountains and rivers...... You can see the view of the inner hall.
The chief steward took Shao Manchu to stop behind this screen, bent slightly to the figure inside, and said, "Master, the person has arrived." ”
A deep voice came from within: "Let him in." ”
After the words fell, the chief steward of Xin'er turned around and made a walking gesture towards Shao Manchu, leading people around the curved screen and into the inner hall, which was half smaller than the outhouse.
Shao Manchu, who hadn't experienced anything, thought that the outer hall he had just been to was warm enough, but who would have thought that as soon as he turned into the inner hall, a more powerful heat enveloped him.
Not only is the temperature high here, but the surrounding colors are also lively.
The jujube red tables and chairs, with the carved patterns of Fu Lu Shou, are firmly coiled on both sides of the main hall.
In the center is a chair of eight immortals that is two fingers wider than usual, and the high back of the chair is wrapped in bright red satin.
It's soft and warm to look at.
In the middle of this chair sat an old man in a robe and a riding coat.
The old man's hair was black and gray, but he didn't see the old man.
Looking at it from the beginning, the whip on the back of the man's head was very clean, probably because all the hair strands on it were oiled and combed to the back of his head, and the curtain on the front of his head did not have a trace of broken hair.
Carrying your head behind your back in this way not only makes you look younger, but also reveals what the old people often say...... Blessed forehead.
Look at the whole person is bright.
provoked Shao Manchu to take another look, and saw more details about the first master.
There was a strange chain hanging on the chest of the first master, which looked like it was made of gold.
At the end of the chain there is also a small hanging clip, which is fixed to the buckle of the diagonal placket, and I don't know what it is used for.
Shao Manchu, who was dazzled by gold, hurriedly lowered his eyelids.
After thinking for a while, he walked to the center of the hall, and before the chief steward could speak, he poofed...... knelt in front of the first master.
didn't wait for others to reflect, didn't say a word, knock knock...... Knocked his head.
