Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Dinner Party Is Late
Hengqing in the house has already been opened by the county order and Tang Yu. When the pen is fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info Rongbai is not there, Hengqing still has some scruples. Now that Rong Bai is back, Hengqing's mood has eased a lot.
In addition, Tang Yu and the county order purposefully had a good relationship with Hengqing. By the time Rong Bai entered, the three men were already chatting enthusiastically.
Rong Bai walked up to Hengqing, threw the money box on Hengqing's lap, and held the handle of the wheelchair with both hands, intending to push the man away.
"Mrs. Li, if it's getting late today, it's better to stay for a light meal. Before Rong Bai could move, Tang Yu smiled and spoke.
Rong Bai frowned and looked down at Hengqing.
Hengqing raised his head, his eyes were clear, and the hope in his eyes couldn't be stopped at all. Well, since he's willing to stay, let's stay. Rong Bai turned his head and looked at the sun outside at a forty-five degree angle, completely unaware of the fact that it was too late.
Even though Rong Bai turned his head, the hands holding the wheelchair had already been put down. Hengqing knew that although Rong Bai resisted in his heart, he also agreed.
To some extent, he can also influence Rong Bai's decision. Thinking of this, I was actually a little proud in my heart.
promised Hengqing to stay, and Rong Bai had nowhere to go. Hengqing chatted with others enthusiastically, but when they communicated, Rong Bai couldn't understand some words.
So, Rong Bai sat bored on the threshold and looked at the sky outside. If you hear a strange rustling sound, you will also pull out the rats that are hiding in the grain pile at some point.
Soon, it was getting dark.
The rustling in Rong Bai's ears became more frequent. Indeed, the night is the paradise of rats, and there are still swarms of rats that have converged during the day, and the sky begins to turn upside down at night.
"Girl, no, ma'am, supper is ready. Rong Bai piled up the killed rats in a pile and was about to light them on fire, when a middle-aged woman called her.
"Okay, wait a minute. Rong Bai nodded. The flint and steel in his hand did not slow down. The spark flashed, and soon the rat pile began to burn, and the smell emitted was really unpleasant.
Rong Bai followed the woman and walked to the backyard of the county government.
I have to say that the prefectural order is a person who can enjoy it. If there is no such natural disaster, the life of the county order must be better than that of everyone in the county.
The backyard of the county government is a garden. Rong Bai had never seen a garden, but he had heard of it. It is said that before the end of the world, many super-rich and wealthy people lived in gardens. There are rockeries and flowing water, and there are even captive animals.
However, such a rich man was almost wiped out in the catastrophe of the last days.
Because, in the last days, the first thing to be polluted is the water source. The tap water supplied by the city is okay and has been disinfected layer by layer. However, the water in the yards of those rich people looks clear and clean, but in fact it is full of virus pollution.
It's not as good as those rich people who build swimming pools at home, at least their swimming pools also use copper sulfate to disinfect. Although the usefulness is not obvious.
Rong Bai paused beside the flowing water before keeping up with the woman's footsteps. Soon, Rong Bai arrived at the place where he was going to eat. The green brick paving, the all-wooden door is very high-end and atmospheric, inside, I don't know how many lights are lit, and it is bright.
Rong Bai just wanted to go in, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment of his body.
Among the people who went to suppress the bandits, Rong Bai was actually the most embarrassed. The clothes on his body were only damaged, but there was a lot of blood on them.
Thinking of Hengqing's temperament, I just met in the afternoon, I'm afraid I was too anxious to notice. It would be strange if you didn't notice it while eating. Looking at his appearance, Rong Bai is sure that he will definitely make a man who has high requirements for the quality of life unable to eat.
"Is there a place to take a bath?" Rong Bai raised his foot and retracted it.
The woman took advantage of the light in the room to see Rong Bai's appearance, and she was really embarrassed. I still wonder in my heart, how can an ordinary girl embarrass herself like this, this girl has a really big heart.
"Slave and maid, take you there. The woman saluted and walked to the other side of the courtyard with Rong Bai.
Rongbai does not have high requirements for bath water, it doesn't matter whether it is warm or cold, as long as it is clean. But the people in the county government are even more extravagant than Rong Bai imagined.
That's right, luxury. It was actually warm water, and flower petals, a whole big bucket. If it turns into rain, I don't know how many people will use it.
With such an opportunity, Rong Bai will definitely not miss it. The long hair was spread out, and the whole person was nestled into the water.
Rubbing his body clean, Rong Bai climbed out of the bath bucket, scooped up the clothes next to him, and when he was about to find a place to dry, the middle-aged woman appeared again.
He was still holding a pile of fabrics in his hand.
"Madam, this is the shirt that my wife has prepared for you, can you try it and see if it fits?" said the woman, shaking off her shirt.
Women in this era are looking for the kind of clothes with long skirts that drag the floor, but this kind of clothes is not convenient at all. Rong Bai didn't plan to wear it. But my clothes, washing and drying, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
If Hengqing waits for himself to deal with it before eating, I'm afraid he will have to go hungry again.
took the fabric that the woman was holding, and wrapped it around her body. Fortunately, the woman didn't leave, otherwise Rong Bai wouldn't have been able to wear this kind of anti-human clothes at all.
After putting on his clothes, Rong Bai looked at the woman, folded his washed clothes together, and put them in a safe place with the cleaned long knife before he was willing to follow the woman away.
In the hall, Hengqing was a little anxious.
Because Rong Bai would eat together, the wife of the county magistrate also sat on the table. Before the food was delivered, the county magistrate sent someone to find Rong Bai, but now the food is almost cold, and Rong Bai has not come.
Could it be that Rong Bai regretted it in the end, left himself here, and went home alone?
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and Hengqing couldn't sit still.
There was a knock on the door, and the prefectural order shouted in. The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and the first to come was a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth robe.
Then, it was Rong Bai who followed the woman.
Dressed in a lotus-colored long skirt, her long hair was moist, and she was casually draped behind her shoulders. Under the candlelight, the beige skin is also a little moisturized.
Those eyes, no matter what time it was, were so calmly staring ahead.
"Mrs. Li is finally here, come here, please take a seat. The county ordered loudly to order someone to take care of Rong Bai.
Rong Bai's position is next to Hengqing. Because there are not many people at the table, the right side of the county order is her wife, and the right side of the lady is Rong Bai's position, Hengqing naturally sits next to Rong Bai, and the rest are the county order and Tang Yu.
As for the two children in the family, they are now playing with the little boy of the county order in the side hall.
Rong Bai did not shirk and sat directly in his place.
The food on the table was almost cold, Rong Bai glanced at it, and his brows furrowed. "You've been waiting for me for a long time?"
"If Madam doesn't come, Li Gongzi won't open the banquet. The county magistrate joked with a smile.
