Chapter 178: Sister
In the evening, Yu Shu returned home, it was Jingchen who answered the door, he helped Yu Shu move the cart in, and followed behind her, Yu Shuming saw that he had something to say, but deliberately pretended not to see it, before he spoke, he called Yu Xiaoxiu, who was moving firewood back and forth between the courtyard wall and the kitchen.
"Minor repairs."
Yu Xiaoxiu was still making trouble because Yu Shu forced her to go to the school in the morning, and when she heard Yu Shu calling, she reluctantly responded:
"I'm back."
Yu Shu understood his little emotions, took out a paper bag from the cart and raised it towards him, "Don't be busy, go wash your hands, I bought you a new pair of shoes, you can try the size, if you are tight, I will take it to the street tomorrow to change." โ
This sister and brother are the same as eating soft and not hard, Yu Xiaoxiu looked at the smile on Yu Shu's face, "oh", and quickly went to fetch water and wash his hands.
"Xiaoyuโ" Jing Chen took the opportunity to explain what happened in the morning, but was interrupted by another pair of shoes that Yu Shu had crossed in front of him.
"Oh, yours."
The weather turned cold, and the feet were frozen in cloth shoes, Yu Shu bought a pair of thick-soled boots for Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen, which was an old shoe shop recommended by Sun Ji's old shopkeeper, with tight stitches and a cotton layer in the shoes, which was enough to wear in winter.
Jingchen took the blue-gray boots in Yu Shu's hand, stroked the smooth face, and Yan Huang showed a smile on his face all day: "Xie Luxie." โ
"Well, let's try it first."
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen happily go in to change their shoes, Yu Shu felt proud, what is this called, give a jujube with a stick.
Xia Huming leaned against the door with his arms crossed and hummed, "What about mine? โ
Yu Shu glanced at her: "If you want to buy it yourself, don't you have any money?" โ
has long been accustomed to Yu Shu's good and bad temper at this time, Xia Mingming just crooked his mouth, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't carry it with her. She has some money on her, all of which she spent before Xia Jiangying left, because she still has to raise a few subordinates before Xia Jiang's family comes, she doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately, she follows Yu Shu to live a life knowing that money is heavy, and she will not care about the front and back like before.
The new shoes fit very well, and the clothes up and down the family are all dotted by Yu Shu, it is strange to buy the wrong one, Yu Xiaoxiu walked back and forth in the house excitedly in the new shoes, and forgot about the awkward incident with Yu Shu in the morning.
Jingchen looked at Yu Shu's face, and knew that she didn't mention anything about martial arts when she thought about it, because she didn't want her to be unhappy, anyway, he practiced swords at night, and she didn't know how to do it when she slept deeply, and after a while, he was in better health, and it was not too late to explain to her.
During dinner, Yu Shu re-mentioned at the dinner table that he wanted Yu Xiaoxiu to go to the school to study, Yu Xiaoxiu just hesitated for a moment and nodded obediently to obey Yu Shu's meaning, and said to Jing Chen:
"Then if I go to school during the day, Brother Jing, don't you want to be home alone? What should I do if I eat at noon? โ
Yu Shu is optimistic about the school that manages the students' lunch at noon, and there is a place for lunch break, because it is in the north of the city, far away from home, it is inconvenient to come back at noon.
Jingchen shook his head, his expression was as usual, and he was about to answer, when Xia Mingming knocked on the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks, and said to Yu Xiaoxiu angrily: "What do you call him alone, isn't there still me." โ
Yu Xiaoxiu said disdainfully: "You will only eat when I see you cook, with you is equal to without you, you are not as good as Brother Jing, he can cook noodles anyway." โ
Xia Mingming: "One."
Jingchen said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
After that, he looked at Yu Shu, this sentence was clearly told to her Yu Shu took a bite of food and put it in Xia Mingming's bowl, comforted her injured little heart, and said to Jing Chen:
"When Xiao Xiu goes to school, I'll be back at noon."
From Huixing Street to Qiu Kwai Fang, it is not close, it is not far, less than half an hour away, Yu Shu did not go home before, because the business was bleak, but now things are getting better, and there are a few regular customers, she walked more at noon, and it was not in the way.
Yu Shu, the "head of the family", spoke, and the matter was decided, after eating, everyone was busy, and they washed and slept as soon as the night was dark, and the sisters and brothers whispered through a screen:
"Xiao Xiu, my sister has to ask you to go to school, are you angry?"
"No, how could I be mad at you."
"Hehe, that's what I said. In this case, you go and try it for a few days, I'm really not used to it, it's a big deal, let's come back, okay? โ
"Hmm. Sister, go to bed early, it's a tiring day. โ
"Well, slept."
It's good to have a caring younger brother, Yu Shu rubbed on the pillow, hugged the quilt and squeezed her eyes, tomorrow she made an appointment with Xue Rui to go to the north of the city to gamble, sleep well tonight, and make a lot of money when the time comes, and save tuition for Xiaoxiu.
Ten taels, twenty taels, thirty taels one. Yu Shu counted silently, and fell asleep after a while.
Yu Shu deliberately used a six-fold hexagram before going out, and what made her happy was that she had finally seen Ji in the past few days, and judging from the hexagram, her trip would be smooth.
"I'm leaving, I may come back later in the evening, don't wait for me to eat first."
Yu Shu used the excuse of copying books in the Chengbei Yi Museum, and went out without pushing a small stall, and he rested well last night, and he was in good spirits, and he walked like flying out of the alley.
was looking for the car in the north of the city on the street, and saw a carriage coming from the street, stopping in front of her, the curtain of the car was opened, and she saw Xue Rui holding the window edge with one hand, smiling at her and saying:
"Little brother, where are you going, do you want to take a ride?"
Yu Shu pressed down the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, waved his hand at him, and pretended to ask according to his words: "If you want to go to Qianyuan Street in the north of the city, will Gongzi stop by?" โ
Xue Rui hooked his finger at her, "Get in the car." โ
"Thank you, Childe," Yu Shu climbed into the carriage with the curtain open, and sat down opposite him, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Ha Lu Ha"
"Didn't you say that we would meet on Qianyuan Street, why did you come to pick me up again?" Yu Shu asked.
"I got up early, so I just drove over, just to take you to change the faรงade," Xue Rui picked up the purple clay pot on the star anise case, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Yu Shu took it and said puzzledly: "Facade? โ
Xue Rui nodded, and glanced at her clothes implicitly, "It's not okay for you to wear like this." โ
Yu Shu looked down at the brown robe on his body, then at the brocade and jade belt on Xue Rui's body, raised his head and took a sip of tea: "This is my best dress, I only found a tailor to make it a few days ago, why do you have to wear gold and silver when you go to that occasion?" โ
"That's not necessary," Xue Rui looked apologetic: "I have to trouble you to change into women's clothes." โ
"Huh? For what? โ
Xue Rui said helplessly: "This is indeed the stinky rule set by the owner of this venue, except for those who are Yi Shi themselves who can travel alone after receiving the banquet sticker, other laymen must bring female Yi Ke to the banquet." โ
"Yes," Yu Shu squinted at Xue Rui with his eyes, "When we first talked about it, you didn't tell me about it. โ
Xue Rui sighed, "I haven't been in Beijing for two years, and I met a friend yesterday, so I learned that the owner of this gambling game has established this rule because he has replied to the invitation, and it is not easy to push it off now, Ah Shu, you should do me a favor." โ
He opened his mouth in a good voice, Yu Shu couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to refuse, she was the one who owed favors, and she was the one who wanted to make money.
"Okay, let's change it."
Xue Rui didn't expect her to be so happy and agree, and was a little surprised.
Yu Shu looked at his face and smiled: "What's the matter, I'm willing to change you, aren't you happy?" โ
Xue Rui shook his head: "I thought you didn't like women's clothes, so I was ready to spend some persuasion." โ
Yu Shu looked calm: "I don't like it or not, it's mainly to make a living outside, and it's more convenient and safer to pretend to be a man." But today I am going with you, with you, the eldest young master of the Xue family, in everything, it will not be my turn, it doesn't matter if it is a man or a woman, right? โ
Xue Rui rarely heard Yu Shu tell him frankly, instead of guarding him a while ago, his mood was a little delicate, and he only felt that the relationship between the two people was getting closer, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy, and Lang smiled:
"That's naturally with me, you can rest assured."
Yu Shu lowered his head to sip tea again, with a smile in his eyes, it seems that this surname Xue is not as difficult as she imagined, now that he is her gold master, a few words can make him happy, why not.
"This tea is good, with a hint of sweetness." Yu Shu carried the teapot to refill the water.
Xue Rui said: "If you like to drink, I'll give you a pound when I turn around." โ
Originally, he didn't use much flower tea, he liked to be slightly bitter, and today's tea was specially prepared for Yu Shu by his subordinates yesterday.
This jasmine tea is the most favorite taste of the ladies and ladies of the noble family in the north of the city on weekdays, only two big teahouses are sold, tea is forbidden to sell, the day before yesterday, Aunt Xue got two catties, what is the baby, because Xue Rui loves tea, he reluctantly gave half to him, you must know that Lu Dao was given away by him in one mouth, as if this tea is really a pound, and I don't know if I will cry and laugh.
"Don't say goodbye, it's a pure waste for me to drink this good tea," Yu Shu thought and knew that this tea was a good tea, waved his hand, and said the truth:
"To me, a poor white man, it's all thirst-quenching, it's no different."
If you want others to say this, it will inevitably be vulgar, and if you want a literati to listen to it, you will inevitably frown, but it is Yu Shu who is talking and Xue Rui is listening, and it will have a different taste.
Xue Rui has always admired Yu Shu's temperament of what to say, and after listening to her vernacular, he didn't feel it:
"That's right, for people who don't understand tea, no matter how good the tea is, it's used to quench their thirst."
The two were speculative, talking, and unconsciously arrived at the dividing line between the south and north of the city - Qianyuan Street.
The carriage turned into a street and stopped at the mouth of an alley, Yu Shu followed Xue Rui out of the car, and entered the alley to the door of a ready-to-wear shop.
There are no outsiders in the store, only a shopkeeper is dozing, a tailor is measuring the cloth, Xue Rui stepped forward and patted the counter, the shopkeeper woke up suddenly, sucked the water, looked at the visitors, rolled his eyes, and laughed:
"Childe wants to buy shoes or clothes."
Yu Shu was still looking at the silk hanging on the wall left and right, and Xue Rui stretched out his hand and pointed at her:
"Find my sister a set of clothes that fit."
Yu Shu turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at him: Which one is your sister.
Xue Rui smiled: You. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (ๅฑฎ dn.cm) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation.
