Chapter 4 You cut down the tree, I cook
I was about to go to the Ninth Master to see if anything had happened, but I really didn't worry about the Ninth Master, the arrogant little prince.
"What are you looking for?" The voice of the ninth master came from the side.
I ran over and said, "Ninth Master, that person didn't embarrass you, did he?" ”
"No, I'm on a three-day shift, with two days off, and five taels of silver per month, not bad." The Ninth Master said very loudly.
"So good? There won't be a conspiracy, right? "I can't think about it right.
"We're in charge of helping him beat people, okay? Of course, the salary has to be high, and they have money, so they can do whatever they like. "Ninth Master.
I'm still thinking about it, and I always feel that there is no such good thing as a pie suddenly falling in this world.
"Okay, don't think about it, call me Ah Jiu in the future, don't call me Jiu, lest people laugh at me, I will still be a master." The Ninth Master deliberately diverted Shu Qiao's attention.
"Ah Jiu?" Shu Qiao had some awkward content.
"Alright, let's go buy something." The Ninth Master strode away.
"Well, but we don't have any money." I said after him.
"Don't worry, I got paid early." The Ninth Master shook the silver in his hand and left
I'm mopping the floor at home with a mop, this is my homemade mop, I clean the house inside and out, and then I have nothing to do. I lay on a chair in the yard and thought for a while: what a boredom, I'm a modern woman who has become a housewife who cleans the house, and I'm a housewife who has nothing to do, alas.
"Sister Joe." Shilan came over with a small basket.
"Shilan, what did you take?" I sat up and asked.
"My brother said your clothes are too old, so I got you a few new fabrics from the store, can you see which one you like?" I took a look, and it was all some square rags.
"These fabrics are very comfortable to the touch, isn't it a waste now?" I looked at it with some distress, after all, life is difficult, and I also experienced it.
"My brother said that you were resting at home, so he asked me to cut some fabric colors for you to choose." Shilan is very playful. I didn't notice Shu Qiao's distress at all.
"Thank you brother for me, how much is this fabric?" Shu Qiao asked.
"Don't be so polite if you don't need money." Shilan said a little unhappily.
"Okay, then I'll help out in your shop. Just think of it as my love for giving me clothes in return, okay? Shu Qiao asked, anyway, there is nothing to do at home, it is better to go out and find something to do.
That's good, my brother can see Sister Qiao often. "Okay, so let's go to our store now?"
"Okay, wait until I close the door." I ran over and closed the door, and then followed Shilan to the store.
The shop is full of people, and business is still good.
"Shilan, is your business doing well in the store?" I complimented.
"That's right, this will also be my sister's shop in the future, and my sister will be responsible for checking the accounts in the future." Shilan happily pulled me over.
"And who usually keeps the accounts?" I wondered, for fear of robbing other people's jobs.
"I used to be a scholar to settle accounts, but this time I'm already preparing to take the exam in Beijing." Selan.
I nodded.
"Sister. You pick it yourself, and if you pick it, I'll send it to the tailor's shop and let them make clothes for you. Shilan said very well-behaved.
"Okay", I looked around, and I found a lot of square fabric of about six centimeters in the corner, and I thought it was a pity, so I picked it up and said to Shilan, "Is this still of any use?" ”
"Oh, this is usually a cloth for rich people to see, and it's basically useless after reading it." Selan.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you give me this one?" ”
"Okay, if my sister likes it. Just take it. Shilan said generously.
"Thank you." I smiled happily.
In the evening, I came home and took out the embroidery needles that I had not used for a long time, and I embroidered each piece of fabric with different flowers and birds. I'm going to put spice herbs in it, most importantly, some calming herbs, so I think it's even more valuable.
The next day, I walked to the back door of Baofu with three fish and brought them in.
After putting the fish away, I asked a subordinate in the Bao Mansion: "Little brother." Let me ask, where does Ah Jiu know? ”
"Ah Jiu? It's a new martial arts master, isn't it? "Little brother.
"Yes." I should be able to do it, almost to the point of teaching people martial arts.
"Come with me." Little brother.
"Okay. I happily followed behind my brother.
After passing through several courtyards and coming to the martial arts training ground, I saw that the Ninth Master was training there very seriously.
"Punch hard and hand straight, so that you can hit the enemy." The ninth master spoke very strictly.
I didn't dare to disturb him when I stood by, it was rare for him to teach them so mightily, how could I be embarrassed to disturb him.
Jiu Ye heard that there were people talking below, and he kept staring at me, so he turned his head and looked at it, very happy, but he didn't immediately run over and say, "You continue to practice." ”
Then he ran over and said, "Lady, it's only been a day, and you miss me." ”
Seeing Jiu Ye's such a hippie smile, I said, "Don't be stinky and beautiful, I just want to see if you have any trouble, and also, who is your wife, you are not allowed to call me that." ”
"We've all slept together, why don't you admit it." The Ninth Master said very sneeringly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I took out the sachet in my arms and threw it to the ninth master and said, "Give you the sachet, I'll go." ”
I didn't say a word, just turned around and left.
The Ninth Master shouted from behind: "Hey, I'll go back tomorrow night, remember to cook something delicious for me." ”
I casually threw it up, "Got it." ”
The ninth master took the sachet and smelled it: It's so calming, are you afraid that I won't sleep well?
The ninth master walked in front of them with a sachet, and someone below joked: "Teacher Jiu, your lady is so beautiful, are you willing not to go home?" ”
The ninth master immediately said to some coaches: "Hey, you continue to practice, my wife and I will take care of it myself." But he kept holding the sachet in his hand and didn't let go.
After I went back, I went directly to Lan's Lanying Cloth Village, I walked in, saw Shilan cutting clothes, I walked over and said, "Shilan, you are so good, you can actually make your own clothes." ”
"Sister Joe. You're just in time to see if you like the style of the clothes. "Shilan pulled me over.
I looked at it several times and was so moved that I said, "Is this for me?" ”
"That's right." Shilan picked up the clothes and scratched them on me a few times, saying, "It seems to be about the same size." A few more days will do. ”
"Thank you." I speak from the bottom of my heart.
"Sister, why are you crying?" Shilan said, holding my hand.
"No, I'm just moved, I'm going to keep accounts." I'm ready to settle accounts.
Shilan grabbed me and said, "Sister, in the future, you just need to come over at the beginning of the month to settle the account." The rest of the time, you can help me sell the cloth. ”
I nodded and said, "Okay." ”
In the evening, I made some food, only a tofu soup, a plate of pork fried vegetables, and of course, a bowl of egg custard, specially for the ninth master.
I looked out the door, but the ninth master hadn't come back yet, so I took the embroidery needle and embroidered there.
"Lady." The voice of the ninth master came.
I put down the wire basket. said: "Ninth Master, don't call me a lady anymore, if you call me again, I'll leave." ”
"Hey, isn't it good to be my lady?" The ninth master deliberately raised his head and spoke with his chest held high.
I know that if I don't take some practical action, the Ninth Master will still be like this. I just want to get out of this house.
"Hey, I'm not going to call it okay." The Ninth Master came over to stop me from walking.
Seeing that I hadn't left, he said, "Then I'll call you Xiaoshu." ”
"Xiao Shu? Why do I think it's so weird? "I hesitated for a moment, only to realize that Xiao Shu is just the same as Uncle Xiao's voice?
"No, let's change the name." I said.
"Then Little Joe." Ninth Master.
"No, I can't. Change it again. "I still think it's a bit weird to have the same name as a beautiful woman.
"Shu'er" Jiu Ye said and stuck a handful of hairpins on my head: "That's what I called." Then he walked to his place and began to eat, saying, "It's delicious." ”
I touched the hairpin and was a little grateful to this ninth master. Although now the speaker is still every doorman. However, as a girl, these small gestures are still easy for me, a little woman, to feel satisfied.
However, sleeping at night is still a problem, and the ninth master is still dishonest. Either the arms or the legs
"Ahh I couldn't help but scream, opened the door and walked out and said, "I can't help it, we have to paint another bed." ”
"Hey, let me sleep with you is my sacrifice, why are you still so wronged." The Ninth Master said with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, I won't take advantage of you, I'll make a bed myself." I chopped my feet frantically. Then get ready to go out.
"Hey, why are you going?" The Ninth Master shouted.
"I'm going to buy wood, I'm going to make a bed." I walked irrationally.
The Ninth Master ran over and said, "I'm going to cut down trees, you forgot, we still have to save money to live in a better house." ”
I looked at Jiu Ye's gentle appearance and instantly felt that I was too impulsive, why spend money if I can do it without spending money: "Okay, you go cut down the tree, I'll cook." Then I walked back.
It's been half an hour, and the ninth master hasn't come back yet, so I'm holding a needle and embroidering patterns there: If this sachet sells well, I can cooperate with Shilan and make some money to supplement the family by the way. I'm so smart, I look like I'm business-minded.
I was immersed in self-absorption, and suddenly I felt a figure in front of me, and when I looked up, it turned out to be the eighth master, the tenth master, and the fourteenth master.
I stood up and shouted softly, "Eighth Master, Tenth Master, Fourteenth Master." "I especially don't want to see the Fourteenth Master, because his words are too hurtful.
"Shu Qiao, where is the ninth brother?" The eighth master asked gently.
"He's gone out to cut down trees, so he's probably coming back soon. You sit down first. I hurried to get the bowl, poured a little water and said, "There are no teacups at home, only bowls, so don't dislike it." ”
"Don't dislike, don't dislike." The tenth master took the bowl and drank it.
The Fourteenth Master walked around and said, "Does Brother Nine have any work now?" ”
"He is now a martial arts master for others, and he can get back five taels of silver every month." I said.
"It's okay, if you have a job, you can at least get by." Eighth Master.
As soon as I see the eighth master, I will remember what happened before, and when I see the fourteenth master, I will also remember what happened before, the fourteenth master hurt himself with his cruel words, so I just said indifferently: "You sit first, I'll go to Ah Jiu." ”
I walked out, "Ah Jiu? The Fourteenth Master said suspiciously, "This title is too intimate." ”
The eighth master and the tenth master smiled, and the eighth master said, "This is very good." The ninth brother can still have her unwavering company when he is the most depressed, which proves that Shu Qiao is a non-worldly person, and it also proves that what the ninth brother did at the beginning was not without results, maybe. It's a great opportunity for them to get to know each other again. ”
I walked out with my head down, "Why did you come out, did you sense that I was coming and came to pick me up." The Ninth Master was joking.
"You're getting more and more flamboyant now." I said in a low voice.
The Ninth Master saw that my feelings were wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Come in, someone is waiting for you." I turned around and left.
The Ninth Master followed. Before I entered the door, I saw that I brought the ninth master back, and saw the eighth master, the tenth master, the fourteenth master, and the ninth master, and immediately threw down the wood and shouted: "Eighth brother, tenth brother, fourteenth brother, why are you here again?" ”
Before the eighth master could speak, the ninth master turned to Shu Qiao and said, "Shu'er, serve more food and give it to the starling." The tenth brother and the fourteenth brother put it on. ”
I walked in, let out a long breath, and put the meal in front of them. Then I took the bowl away, and I didn't want to stay any longer, thinking: there must be something to discuss between the brothers. I said, "I'll go do the laundry first." ”
I was just about to leave, my hand was tightly pulled, and the ninth master said: "Eat first, if you don't eat, where will you get the strength to wash clothes." ”
I was still hesitating, and the tenth master also stood up and said, "That's right." Shu Qiao, you sit down to eat first, I haven't seen you for a long time, you can chat. ”
Since they said so. I couldn't refuse, so I sat down.
The ninth master took the green vegetables and slices of Japanese meat and said to them, "Try it, it's delicious." ”
Seeing that the ninth master ate so deliciously, the eighth master, the tenth master, and the fourteenth master all felt that they were a little rude.
"Brother Jiu. Is that all you can eat right now? Brother Ten asked.
The ninth master sandwiched a green vegetable and said, "This is the best meal I have ever had." "It tastes so good when you put it in your mouth.
I was so happy to see that Jiu Ye ate so deliciously, and finally let me pick up some face in front of them.
In order to save face, the eighth master also sandwiched the meal and ate a little, but the fourteenth and tenth masters couldn't move the chopsticks.
In order to make it easier for them to talk, I made an excuse to go to the small stream over there to wash my clothes.
"Ninth brother, it seems that you are living a good life now, but last time it was like that, but it worried us to death." The eighth master said with a smile.
"That's it, Brother Jiu, you used to be the most picky about food, but now that you're living like this, and you're so happy, it seems that this Shu Qiao has really helped you a lot." The tenth master looked around and said happily.
"You can rest assured, I used to be too weak in my heart, and I always felt that I should be high, not give up my identity, and condescend to others, but since I slowly saw Shu'er's self-improvement, self-reliance, and my consistent tolerance and indulgence, even if I was cold and hungry, I didn't let me suffer, didn't scold me, suddenly, I felt that I became a little woman who let people take care of me, I felt very ashamed, very ashamed, so, I think it's time for me to take care of her." Jiu Ye said very affectionately and devotedly, as if he was falling in love with a woman for the first time.
"It seems that Brother Jiu has really fallen in love this time." The Fourteenth Master was joking.
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "By the way, you guys came over like this, aren't you afraid that Huang Ama will be suspicious?"
"The way you are now, we still come to see you, isn't it a sign of brotherly affection?" Although the eighth master said so, the more important reason is because the ninth master is his brother, in fact, the ninth master also understands.
"Yes, and you didn't give me any help, I believe Huang Ama can see it." The ninth master laughed at himself.
"So Brother Nine is blaming us for not bringing you a gift." The Fourteenth Master deliberately made a joke.
"Brother Jiu, even if you want us to help you now, we don't dare to disobey the holy decree, or when you come back, we will send you something good." The tenth master grinned, as if he was coquettish.
"Okay, there's nothing big going on in Kyori lately, right?" The Ninth Master finally asked about what they had often discussed before.
The eighth master raised his hand and said, "Ninth brother, you don't have to worry about these things, with a few of us here, you can show yourself well and strive to return to Beijing early." ”
"Okay" The ninth master readily agreed, walked to the wood side and said, "Help cut the wood, I want to make a new bed." ”
"By the way, speaking of this bed? Brother Jiu, how do you and Shu Qiao usually sleep? The tenth master asked deliberately.
The Ninth Master smiled evilly: "A bed, how do you say to sleep?" ”
"Haha." The Fourteenth Master laughed very loudly: "We all understand. ”
The tenth and eighth masters also secretly had fun.
The ninth master picked up the axe and shouted there: "Eighth brother, tenth brother, fourteenth brother, come here and help." ”
"Here we are." The tenth master ran over happily, and the eighth and fourteenth masters also followed. (To be continued.) )
