Chapter 56
There is one more in the backyard, and he lives in the small cross-courtyard next to the old lady's courtyard, and there are now two masters living in the small cross-courtyard, one has been closed since he moved in, and the other has just moved in and is still fresh, and the second master Meng often comes to see.
The old lady was very happy when she saw this, the second master Meng did not go to the main courtyard, it was close to her, and the family was happy every day, even Aunt Mei also came over from time to time to ask An to bring Meng Gaopeng, the whole second room was surprisingly harmonious, to the point that the Guan family, who was crying all day long, and Aunt Xue, who was reciting Buddha behind closed doors, were bleak, as if they had entered a cold palace.
Acacia doesn't care about these, she has Aunt Mei and some of the old lady's private property in her hands, even if there is no moon silver, it doesn't matter, and the eldest aunt He treats her as her own daughter, for fear that she will be bullied when she returns to the second room, and she also stuffed a lot of silver taels into her in private, and also told her that if the big kitchen does not send food, or does not take good care of it, simply send food to Acacia every day, and find someone to hand it in directly from that small door.
Don't worry, no matter how these people toss upside down.
The breath of the New Year is approaching, and even the second room of the Meng family, which is not kind to the owner, has hung up cheap red cloth and lit a lantern of coarse paper, but the people are not very interested in the acacia yard, and there is no reward on the left and right.
This is sad about Aunt Mei, who was originally subject to the old lady, the old lady does not pay rewards, and this year, she also found someone to stare at Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei can't and can't really take out more dowry to fill it, so she simply doesn't care, the old lady will do what she tells her to do, as for the final result, she can't follow the fire, anyway, the old man's backyard is not a capable person for her.
"It's the New Year, and I didn't hear any noise, and the firecrackers next door have been setting off since yesterday." Mama Zhang took her clothes and entered the door, sat beside Acacia and folded her clothes with her own hands.
Tangzhi hurriedly came over and wanted to take over: "Mama, where can you do such a thing?" ”
Mama Zhang let her go and said, "The girl has gone to the big house these days, and I have served less, so don't earn it." ”
"Is there one missing from me?" Acacia turned her head and asked suddenly.
Since Kapok took refuge in Meng Guizhi, there is indeed one less in the Acacia House, but she has been in the big room before, except for the pomegranate is the girl in the big room waiting, and she didn't think about it.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to mention this at this time." Mama Zhang hesitated and replied.
"Always find an opportunity to have more people, and besides, don't all of your deeds of sale be with me." Acacia remembers that the deeds of sale of the people around me in the previous life were only obtained when they got married.
"Do you need the old slave to deliver a message over there?" Mama Zhang asked reads;.
Acacia shook his head, pondered for a while, and said, "I have my own way." ”
As Mother Zhang worried, this year's second room is really tasteless, even the old lady of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner dropped her chopsticks, but Aunt Mei did it according to her rules at a glance, she didn't grab the handle at all, everyone could only look at the clear soup on the table, even the dumplings were vegetarian, it can be seen how far the old lady picked the door.
Acacia only ate a little bites and didn't move, this kind of boiled light and tasteless dish, I'm afraid that the people of Kyoto are not the main dish in the New Year, and they actually have such a time.
Meng Gaopeng originally wanted to lose his temper, but he was pulled by Aunt Mei, and in the end he couldn't bear it, they were still rich in their hands, so they were not in a hurry at this time, and they could eat alone when they went back in a while.
The second old man's heart has not been on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner since the evening, and he can't sit still after eating a few mouthfuls of his ass, which makes Sister Cai look at him a lot, but unfortunately the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no meaning, I am afraid that the freshness of the old man will pass again.
The Guan clan did not come for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as usual, and Furong did not come because she was pregnant, and the old lady could not find anyone to reprimand, so she only scolded Meng Ruoyu and ended hastily.
Acacia naturally secretly gave the old lady some supplements that looked valuable, and then returned to his yard to avoid Meng Ruoyao, just sat for a while, and the news came from outside, and the second master Meng actually went out in a carriage during the New Year.
It's not surprising at all, my father hasn't been at home in my last life, and then the Guan family made a fuss and the family knew, and it won't be long before the very skilled Aunt Jiu is afraid that she will enter the house.
"Girl, are you hungry?" Although Mama Zhang didn't go in to serve, when she heard Pomegranate come out, she was not happy.
"Just now, the eldest lady secretly sent some food, the girl wants to use some?" Tangzhi stayed at home to guard, and as soon as the small door over there sent something, she took it first.
Since Acacia has known for a long time, she will naturally not prepare, she asked Mama Zhang to pick up the braised vegetables that Meng Huoran bought for her the day before, these are the braised dishes of the old store, and they will not be bad if they are frozen outside for a day, so you can take them out on such a day, and warm your stomach with some side dishes and glutinous porridge.
She doesn't enjoy it alone, taking advantage of the large portions, she counts the manpower in the yard, and almost everyone can collect a piece, whether it is to eat wine at night or take it home. The people in the courtyard received double the monthly silver and braised pork, and their mood was naturally not as good as others, but they didn't dare to say more when they were told by Mama Zhang, so they could only hold back their joy and secretly be happy.
Acacia is still young, and can only watch Mama Zhang take a few rare sips of wine, and everyone also sits at the table with the master and servant, laughing and talking about eating delicious supper, and watching the fireworks released by the big house, which can be regarded as a solid year.
This year, the old lady is detained, and no one dares to ask for any New Year's gifts, but Acacia has the eldest lady and Mama Zhang thinking that there are three or four more sets of clothes alone, not to mention the gadgets of head jewelry, she doesn't dare to make a noise, so she can only press things at the bottom of the box, and keep a jacket and skirt made for her by Mama Zhang, because the cloth is too plain, and it is not eye-catching.
After trying on the clothes, my stomach was comfortable, and Acacia tasted two cabbage dumplings without waiting for midnight, and then went to bed obediently.
Lying on the bed, her eyelids began to fight, and Acacia felt that the days of this time were really comfortable, and she only hoped that every year would be like this, and she would be able to grow up and live the days she wanted.
I thought that the house was warm and the bedding was thick, and it was reasonable to sleep very soundly as before, but Acacia woke up in the middle of the night, not because of the firecrackers in the big room, but because of the small sound in the house. Since the last time she was tied, she has slept more and more unsteadily, and with the slightest movement, even if it is just a mouse grinding its teeth, she can quickly wake up and reads;
She lay motionless under the covers, listening for a long time before slowly turning over.
Just as she was thinking about how to notify the pomegranate outside, a weak voice called, "But the third girl is awake?" ”
Acacia suddenly got up from the bed, lifted the curtain and looked out, a young man was sitting on the soft couch she usually sat on at this time, the cold moonlight shone on half of his face, it looked very blurry, but Acacia's mind was very accurate to describe the person's appearance.
"Mo...... Mo Gongzi? Acacia shouted, and the person also came back to his senses and shrank inside.
"Don't worry, three girls, I just hid here with Zhuang Xiaoshizi, but I didn't expect to meet the girl again." Mo Li's voice is very soft, with self-deprecation, and there is still a lot of gap between it and the voice of lovesick memory.
"Why are you guys again? What's going on again? Acacia also felt a coincidence and couldn't help laughing.
Mo Liang turned his head, and he couldn't see the little girl who had saved him but made him full of doubts.
"I can only say that it is always good to meet Zhuang Xiaoshizi."
Acacia nodded, and asked again, "What about Zhuang Jinyuan?" ”
"He's fine, he went to Ding'anbo's Mansion to ask for help." Mo Liang closed his eyes and endured the pain.
"You're hurt?" Acacia doesn't know these little habits, and she loves to be strong on weekdays, but she can't help but show flaws in front of her.
Mo Liang glanced at her strangely, and couldn't bear it anymore, and said honestly: "I hurt my leg, otherwise I wouldn't have borrowed the soft couch." ”
Acacia got out of bed without saying a word, quickly lit an oil lamp in the house, and quickly took out cotton cloth and shochu from the cabinet.
Mo Li just sat and watched her go back and forth, until Acacia was very familiar with him and pulled up his trouser legs, then blushed slightly and said, "The third girl just let it go, I can do it myself." ”
Acacia hand, people are also embarrassed, her actions are completely habitual, although the two have not been together for several days, but once he sits in front of him, she is easy to enter the state of the previous life, even if the sophisticated young man in the previous life has become such a deserted teenager now.
"Ah...... My ...... You also know that I've always been hurt before, and I'm used to it, so ......"
"The girl has such a good heart." Without waiting for Acacia to continue to explain indiscriminately, Mo Li replied empathetically.
Seeing that Acacia really put things aside, Mo Li stretched out his hand but found that his knees couldn't bend, and there seemed to be water and swelling inside, while his knife was on his calf, and blood was slowly remaining.
There was silence in the room, and Mo Li's hands and legs stretched out......
Acacia originally turned her back, but she didn't hear the movement for a long time, and when she quietly looked back, she couldn't help but come over angrily. This person has always been so strong, even if he is in great pain, he is never willing to ask for help! Whether it's in a previous life or in this life, whether it's growing up or when you're a kid!
Mo Liang saw that Acacia returned to him, and then seemed to hold back a strong anger, and did not gently drug him at all, that kind of taste...... It's really strange and empty-hearted, and I can't say why.
By the candlelight, Mo Liang looked at the delicate but unfamiliar face, and wanted to ask the master about it several times, but in the end he didn't dare to speak.
