Although he was very tired a few days ago, Lou Zheng didn't dare to sleep too late the next day.

got up and changed into a clean and loose men's coarse cloth shirt, and his long hair was wrapped, but fortunately it was already cold at this time, and most of the ordinary men were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Lou Zheng tied his chest, and he was no different from a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in cotton clothes.

But when it's hot, I only wear single clothes, and the bun on my chest can't cover it.

Helplessly pinched the chest and was tightly wrapped by her and bulged, and secretly annoyed that the bun on her chest was too small, and secretly envied Wen Jia's tall girl with a good figure, but now she wishes it was flat.

The rented house is the one on the far edge of the south side of the courtyard, and the common kitchen of the whole courtyard is the door and corner.

There are several separate earthen stoves in the kitchen for the residents of the courtyard.

There is a well in the middle of the courtyard, and I heard that the well water has been sweet for decades, and the water of the entire courtyard depends on this ancient well.

When the shopkeeper Liu brought her here, he told her about the general situation of this courtyard, which has three families.

A father and son who work as porters at the dock, a middle-aged master from a private school, and a teenager who is only thirteen or fourteen years old and works as a partner in Wanjing Teahouse. In addition, Lou Zheng is only four households and five people, and they are basically single men.

These people don't have a bad reputation, they are all good sons of An'an.

As soon as Lou Zheng arrived at the well to fetch water, he met a young man who was washing clothes in the morning, and the young man was wearing a black short coat on his padded jacket, with the word Wanjing embroidered on the back.

The young man who was squatting by the well and rubbing his clothes heard the footsteps curiously, and when he looked up and saw a white and delicate little face, he was suddenly stunned. His gaze had unconsciously moved down, and Lou Zheng looked up and down.

When I came back yesterday, I heard that there was a new teenager in the hospital, but I didn't expect to look better than the girl.

Just looking at the thin white little face, I thought it was the girl's house, which made the young man's face unconsciously red.

"My name is Lou Zheng, and I just moved to this yard yesterday."

Lou Zheng bent his eyebrows to greet the young man, and the young man's face turned even redder.

"My name is Wang Xun, and I work as a buddy in Wanjing Teahouse, you ...... Do you want to fetch water, I'll help you. ”

Wang Xun hurriedly stood up, and because he was nervous, he almost knocked over the basin for washing clothes. He scratched at his hair in embarrassment. picked up the wooden bucket beside him, filled a bucket of water for Lou Zheng and poured it into the small basin that Lou Zheng was carrying.

Although the boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was not short and his skin was slightly dark. Laugh. A row of white, well-aligned teeth was exposed. Sunshine is lively.

Men in the Great Song Dynasty were generally precocious, and there were many who left home at the age of thirteen or fourteen to work alone, and Wang Xun worked as a partner in a mixed teahouse. People are actually very clever.

"Thank you, I'll make breakfast and I'll bring you some later."

After saying hello, Lou Zheng took the water back to the kitchen to heat it, and took advantage of the hot water in the pot to heat up a few Sanxian buns he bought yesterday on the steamer.

I sent two to the master who taught in the courtyard, and I wanted to send a few more to the father and son of the porter, but the father and son went to the dock before dawn to pick up work, not in the courtyard, this master Xu is a little withdrawn, and he is not very active in the courtyard on weekdays, and the last people who eat the morning food together are only Lou Zheng and Wang Xun.

The kitchen is small, but there is a long desk with several half-worn wooden chairs next to it.

The two of them sat together with hot buns and hot water to eat morning food.

Wang Xun has passed the initial shyness, and his temperament has become more open, and Lou Zheng has been honed for so long, so he can naturally deal with this kind of situation with strangers.

Wang Xunxu is a rare opportunity to sit and eat with his peers, there is an old saying that many feelings can only be cultivated from the dinner table.

Sure enough, the two had dinner together, Wang Xun had a good impression of Lou Zheng, and they were both young people of about the same age, and they were still working alone, so it was inevitable that they would have a sympathetic friendship.

This made Wang Xun feel more and more that the distance between the two was shortening, and he was gradually able to speak freely.

Although Wang Xun is clever and shrewd, he has the shortcoming of a big mouth, he can't hide anything in his heart when he encounters or hears anything, and likes to find someone to "share".

Usually, the master in this courtyard doesn't like to talk to people, and the husband and son go out early and return late, and he rarely has time to gossip with others when he comes back, but now there are more Lou Zheng living here, and both of them are buddies, so it is inevitable that Wang Xun can't help but open his mouth.

Lou Zheng is fine at this time, so he listened to Wang Xun gossip with a good temper.

Wang Xun grabbed a bun in his left hand, stuffed it into his mouth three or two times, and drank another sip of water, "Ah Zheng, when I came back yesterday, the shopkeeper told us to go early today, saying that the owner was going to come to the teahouse to inspect today." By the way, you don't know yet, the owner of our teahouse is Xiao Dashao, who lives on Fumen Street. He moved to Songjiang City three years ago, and he has a lot of properties in Songjiang City. It's a pity that he was divorced by the county lord and came to Songjiang City. The proprietor will be thirty years old in a few months, and if he does not marry a wife, his property will not be able to be saved, and I am afraid that I will have to find another way out. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Xun is a little depressed, the salary given by Wanjing Teahouse is a lot, he can still have a few hundred Wen left every month, and sometimes he can also receive some broken silver when he meets a generous tea customer, if Wanjing Teahouse changes hands, he may never find such a good place to make money again.

Lou Zheng was also distracted for a moment because of Wang Xun's words, she was not stunned for long, and asked: "Since your owner is so good, why can't you find a wife?" ”

Even if you can't find a suitable one, then you have to find someone who can get by, and it's not difficult to keep your family wealth first, why wait for the government to come to oppress you.

"Ah Zheng, I see that you just came to our Songjiang City, not to mention that the woman is not so easy to find, just say that our owner, there are still people staring at it, even if his family is rich, there is no good family who wants to go against the government above, then the rest are not good girls, although the owner is in a hurry to get married, but he is arrogant, he will never marry such a woman, and he will never waste his family wealth to such a woman."

Those women who are as good as they can get their property by marrying men, and even ordinary men disdain to marry such women, let alone the eldest young master of the Xiao family.

So Xiao Dashao's family affair has been dragged on.

Wang Xun drank the hot water in the bowl in a few sips, looked outside, the sun had risen, and the warm sunlight shone in the courtyard, he hurriedly washed the bowl, and then turned to Lou Zheng and said: "Ah Zheng, it's not early, I'm going to the teahouse, you can go to Wanjing Teahouse to find me, I invite you to tea, there are a few good snacks in the teahouse, and then I will invite you to try it." (To be continued......)
