Chapter Seventy-One: The Annoying Dawn Drum

In the evening, a large family had a reunion dinner together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dugu Weiwei ate the food of Dingbei Bofu, which was like chewing wax. I secretly wanted to hurry up and let her mother take back the housekeeping rights, and replace the cook with Sister-in-law Fang.

Sister-in-law Fang is an old man who has been trained by Duguwei's only hand, and she has nothing to say about her cooking skills.

Also, we have to find a suitable Zhuangzi as soon as possible and raise the pigs again. It will take nearly two years to wait for long fat, which means that purple crispy pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed pork ribs, fragrant fried pork and other delicious foods cannot be eaten for the time being.

After dinner, Dugu Weiwei felt a little tired when he returned to his free home, and fell asleep after washing.

Ding Ding said: "Miss just had dinner and rested, be careful of accumulating food, it's better to get up and take a walk." ”

Dugu Weiwei muttered: "Ding Ding you are really verbose, like an old woman." ”

Ding Ding didn't give up, "Get up and take a walk, you will be uncomfortable again after carefully accumulating food." ”

Dangdang covered his mouth and smiled, "Miss, you still listen to Sister Ding Ding, or you won't want to sleep." ”

Dugu Weiwei sat up with a wail, and resigned himself to putting on his coat and going out to eat. Ding Ding, who admits death, her mother explained that her words must be implemented to the end, and there is no discount at all.

Wandering listlessly, he kept hiding his mouth and yawning, and he turned around twice and returned to his room, and fell asleep on the bed.

Ding Ding resigned herself to her clothes, took off her shoes, and covered her with a quilt.

It felt like I had just closed my eyes not long ago, and I vaguely heard the heavy and distant sound of the drum, which seemed to knock on people's hearts.

She grunted, rolled over, and continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, there was another sound, and this time the sound seemed to be closer. She buried her head in the quilt, and a thought occurred in her head: I can't hear it now. As soon as this thought came to mind, the drum beat again, and it seemed to be much closer.

She was drowsy, so irritable that she grabbed her hair, kicked her feet twice in the quilt, and hated to think: Who is holding a big drum and beating around!

Then the bells gradually rose one after another, like waves one after another, some clear, some dull, some long, some excited, the bells and drums were intertwined, and the silent Shangjing City slowly woke up in this continuous sound.

The bell seemed to be endless, Dugu Weiwei finally couldn't bear to sit up, poked his head out of the gauze tent and looked, it was pitch black outside the window, obviously it was late at night.

She covered her ears in annoyance and shouted: "What are you knocking in the middle of the night, and you can't let people sleep!"

Ding Ding got up on the couch in the room, heard Dugu Weiwei's cry, "poof" and laughed, she took off the lampshade on the hibiscus glass lamp on the table, and the room was a lot brighter.

While explaining to Dugu Weiwei: "This is the dawn drum." ”

This night it was Ding Ding's turn to be on duty.

"What time is it now?" Dugu Weiwei looked out of the window again, it was indeed pitch black, how could there be any glimmer of light.

Ding Ding was amused by her rare confusion, and couldn't help but smile: "The first dawn announcement drum on the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace is struck at three o'clock in the fifth watch, and then the drums of the north and south streets will sound, and then more than 100 temples in Chang'an City will ring bells and drums. ”

Ding Ding was born in Chang'an, and when she was six years old, she followed her parents to Benzhou, so she still has some memories of things in Chang'an.

Dugu Weiwei suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that the drum was getting closer and closer.

Her mind was still a little confused, and she counted with her fingers for a long time, five was three o'clock to five o'clock, and the first watch was divided into five o'clock, that is, one point was twenty-four minutes, and five and three o'clock were equivalent to four and twelve minutes.

Dugu Weiwei wailed, just after four o'clock, no wonder it's still hot and dark outside, how can it be broken like this every day in the future?

She was confused again after howling, what came to her mind was the timing method, how could she know it so clearly? Forget it, no matter what, she couldn't find the reason anyway, she had been used to it all these years.

After wailing, he collapsed on the bed and pulled the quilt above his head, and said sullenly, "No, I have to sleep a little longer." ”

Ding Ding snickered, didn't bother her, and went to fetch water and wash lightly.

Dugu Weiwei was stuffy under the quilt for a long time, obviously sleepy, but he couldn't sleep anymore. She didn't give up, she counted the sheep one by one in her heart, and the more she counted her brain, the clearer she became.

She kicked off the quilt and sat up on the ground, screaming with a black face.

Ding Ding came in and said, "Miss won't sleep for a while?"

"Sleep what to sleep, don't sleep!"

Ding Ding couldn't help the little master who got up angry, and said good-naturedly: "If you don't sleep, you won't sleep, I'm going to see the old lady and the old lady of my in-laws today, and it's good to get up early and clean up." ”

As he spoke, he came in yawning and said with sleepy eyes, "What's going on outside?" ”

Although Dangdang is also a child, he was still in infancy when he went to Benzhou, so he naturally didn't know about going to Beijing.

Ding Ding pity her is young, usually only wake her up before the master gets up to serve, never let her get up early, so it is natural for her to get up early.

Ding Ding waited for Dugu Weiwei to get up, and told her about the Baoxiao drum again, and finally reprimanded: "When you go back to Beijing, you can't be lazy like in Benzhou, you are also twelve, be sensible, so many pairs of eyes are watching, no one can save you if you do something wrong." ”

Dangdang stuck out his tongue and grinned, "Got it, old woman." ”

This is a joke about Dugu Weiwei's words last night.

Ding Ding is already a seventeen-year-old girl, half a head taller than Dangdang, bent her fingers and knocked on her head, "Dead girl, you have a long ability, dare to entertain me." ”

"Pain, pain, pain, Sister Ding Ding spare her life, I don't dare anymore. Dangdang covered his head and shouted, deliberately making a mistake.

Dugu Weiwei was depressed, and said with a straight face: "It's not good to shout and scream, punish you for not being able to eat later!"

When Dangdang pouted and pretended to be pitiful, he picked up the comb and combed Dugu Weiwei's hair, and begged for mercy: "The slave knows that it is wrong, Miss will go around the slave and the maid this time, the slave and the maid will atone for her sins today, and she must comb the young lady's hair well." ”

When she knew that her master was not really angry with her, she was not very afraid.

"Oh, you didn't really comb my hair in the past!"

"Uh------- no, no, the slave is more serious than usual. ”

"Doesn't that mean you don't take it seriously on weekdays?"

"Ahh......h

The three masters and servants were arguing on this side, and Amin Ajie came in with his front and back feet, also looking like he hadn't woken up. They didn't know much about Shangjing, so Ding Ding had to explain it again.

Dugu Weiwei purified his face, sat down in front of the dressing table, and raised his eyes to see that his eyes were blue and black in the mirror. Actually, it's not that serious, but the skin is too white, and the lining is very obvious.

Ding Ding said worriedly: "I want to go to a relative's house today, which makes people look bad." It's better to cover it with powder. ”

"Don't!" Dugu Wei refused without even thinking about it. Just kidding, it's good to have supple skin, so that you don't have to be poisoned by lead powder.

In this era, due to technical reasons, the powder contains lead, and long-term use will undoubtedly quench thirst. The "thousand-year-old demon" in her mind said.
