Chapter 010: Visitation
The next day, Liu Jizhen was still doing carpentry all day.
Lu Mingshu ran around him.
"Master drinks water. ”
"Master wipes your sweat, right?"
In the end, Liu Jizhen twisted his eyebrows and threw out a sentence: "They all said don't bother me, didn't you understand yesterday?"
Lu Mingshu lowered his head: "Oh......"
Master probably just doesn't like to talk, right? However, Master has accepted her, and he always wants to teach her martial arts! By the way, Grandpa said before that it is not easy to be an apprentice to someone, and Master will test whether you are sincere, and only when you are satisfied will you teach you true skills. Master is testing her, it must be!
Lu Mingshu cheered up. Master didn't like others to bother him, so she didn't bother, and worked hard to learn to cook, laundry, and clean. She did her best and she would definitely satisfy Master!
After seven or eight days, Bixi Valley finally came again.
"Aunt Hui! Uncle Asheng!" Seeing the figure appearing on the path, Lu Mingshu threw the things in his hand and ran over happily.
Hui Niang and Ah Sheng followed behind a young man, and when they saw Lu Mingshu coming over, both of them smiled.
"Miss!"
Seeing Lu Mingshu's appearance, Hui Niang's eyes turned red. She only had two braids on her head, and they were still tied crookedly. The collar on his body was crooked, and the belt was tied in a mess. Although the Lu family is not a big family, the old lady and Mrs. love their children very much, when has the young lady ever suffered like this!
"You are Lu Mingshu?" the young man's scrutinizing gaze fell on her.
He looked thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing the clothes of a disciple of Jiuyao Palace, carrying a sword behind him, his waist was straight, and his expression was proud.
Lu Mingshu learned from others and saluted: "I've seen this senior brother." ”
The boy reluctantly nodded, "Hmm." My name is Shao Zhengyang, a second-class disciple of this sect. My master is Elder Yuwen, you've seen it. ”
Lu Mingshu was confused, Hui Niang mentioned something in her ear, and she suddenly realized.
"It turns out that the kind uncle is Elder Yuwen, and I haven't thanked him for speaking for my mother......"
Kind uncle? Shao Zhengyang's forehead jumped and said, "Okay, my master has done a lot of good things, and I don't lack your thanks." After speaking, he looked left and right: "Where is Uncle Liu?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Liu Jizhen coming out of Tongtian Pavilion.
Shao Zhengyang walked over, straightened his sleeves, and bowed to Liu Jizhen: "Senior nephew Shao Zhengyang, meet Uncle Liu." ”
Liu Jizhen glanced at him and didn't speak.
Shao Zhengyang added: "My master is Elder Yuwen. ”
Liu Jizhen finally opened his mouth: "What's the matter?"
Shao Zhengyang said with a smile: "Master sent me to Bixi Valley, firstly, to say hello to Uncle Liu, and secondly, to see Uncle Liu's newly accepted disciples, my master had a relationship with her before. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jizhen frowned, groaned slightly, and turned around, "Come here." ”
Liu Jizhen took Shao Zhengyang into Tongtian Pavilion, and Hui Niang took this opportunity to cut Lu Mingshu's clothes and comb his hair again.
Hui Niang's skillful hand wrapped around her head a few times, and a small bun came out.
Lu Mingshu shouted: "Aunt Hui, slow down, let me see how to tie it up." ”
Hui Niang's heart was sour, she slowed down her movements, combed the other half of her hair, and slowly tied it up: "Look, that's it, go around, stuff it in, and tie it up." ”
Lu Mingshu told her to break up again, tried a few times by herself, until she successfully tied her hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've learned!"
Hui Niang smiled: "Miss is so smart. ”
Over there, Ah Sheng put down the basket on his shoulder and showed her one by one: "Miss, this is what we bought at the bottom of the mountain, and I don't know what you are missing......
Needles and threads, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cups, pots, teacups, rice and flour candies...... They bought almost everything they could think of, and even had a basket of eggs.
Hui Niang chattered: "You are alone, remember to eat and dress warmly, and don't worry about me and Ah Sheng." We begged for stewards, and did chores in the mountains, and the work was not heavy, and we were paid every month......"
Lu Mingshu looked at Hui Niang's red and swollen hands and Ah Sheng's worn shoes, and his eyes were red.
She pulled out a purse from her arms and took out a silver ticket: "Aunt Hui, you take it......"
Hui Niang hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, this is what Mrs. kept for you to defend yourself, and you can't use it." ”
From Dongyue to Xichuan, the money from selling houses and fields has been almost spent, and these two big baskets of things must have spent all the money on them. These silver tickets were used by Zhou Yinru for them to sign and leave, but Lu Qingyi has always refused to use them, just to keep them for Lu Mingshu.
"I still have a lot of them here!" Lu Mingshu resolutely stuffed the silver ticket into her hand, "Besides, it's not easy for me to go out, you still have to help me bring things, how can I do without money?"
Hui Niang looked at Ah Sheng and hesitated next: "Then keep it for the young lady to buy things......
"Don't be too economical for the two of you, Aunt Hui, you have to buy ointment to wipe your hands, and Uncle Ah Sheng also wants to buy a new pair of shoes......"
Listening to her words, Hui Niang's nose was sour.
She turned her head to avoid Lu Mingshu's gaze, but saw that the clothes were half washed, and hurriedly rolled up her sleeves: "I'll wash the clothes first, Ah Sheng, you move your things in." ”
"No, no, no. Lu Mingshu hurriedly stopped her, "It's my business to serve Master, and I can't let others help." ”
"Just once, Liu Zhangyuan won't mind. ”
Lu Mingshu still shook his head.
Hui Niang couldn't resist her, so she had to stop and help Ah Sheng move things.
Seeing the appearance of the kitchen, Hui Niang almost couldn't control her tears: "How can this be? This rice and noodles are so rough and the vegetables are wilted, how can you eat them?"
Hui Niang heard some wind when she was working, and she was already worried, but when she saw the real situation, her heart was even colder.
They said that Liu Zhangyuan was assigned to Bixi Valley, although he had the name of Zhangyuan, but he was not even as good as a steward at the moment. Hui Niang thought that those people were chewing on the root of their tongues, but she didn't expect the situation to be even worse than she imagined. Where are the stewards willing to eat these rice noodles?
"It's okay, it's okay, didn't you send a new one?" Lu Mingshu smiled and comforted her.
Hui Niang opened her mouth, but she didn't say those words.
The young lady has already apprenticed, what else can she do? Let her know that it is uncomfortable......
hated that Fu Shangqing, who was ruthless and unrighteous to the old lady and his wife, and even treated his own flesh and blood like this!
"Lu Mingshu!" A voice came from outside, and Shao Zhengyang walked in.
"Senior Brother Shao. ”
Shao Zhengyang nodded and asked Ah Sheng, "Where are my things?"
"In, in!" Ah Sheng hurriedly took out a package from the basket.
Shao Zhengyang opened the package: "My master knows that the affairs of the General Affairs Institute must not be dedicated, let me send your disciple quota." Well, this charm is your identification, don't lose it. This is the disciple's manual and basic exercises, as well as these miscellaneous ......"
In theory, each disciple will be distributed when he enters, why Lu Mingshu still wants him to send it, the reason goes without saying.
Hui Niang thanked Shao Zhengyang repeatedly, where was he impatient? waved his hand: "I'll go first, you can go with me, Uncle Liu doesn't like others to disturb." ”
