Chapter 40: The Nest
At this moment, Lin Muzhi also wanted to return to his accommodation as soon as possible, not to see what the dormitory was like for his future work, but to have a lot of questions to ask Xiao Jixiang, such as about Zhao Dongning. Although Ning Er said before leaving not to look for her before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was really not in line with Lin Muzhi's character not to look for her. The big things in the family have to be decided by the masters, how can the little lady say that if you don't look for it, you won't look for it, don't say that she is a big living person, even if she just loses a hundred and ten pounds of meat, who can't find it?
The three of them came to the courtyard arranged by the academy for the little master. The oxen are led into the fence, and the difference between the cart and the carriage is revealed. Lin Muzhi and Huang Guan erected the cart and the wheels. The space occupied by the cart after dismantling suddenly becomes much smaller, and it is not so easy to dismantle if it is a carriage.
The empathetic Zhao Jixiang took out a plate of tea from the hall and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard. After Lin Muzhi and Huang Guan sat down, she just supported her head with her hands and looked at her brother happily.
After sitting down, my heart settled down a lot. Along the way, is there less pressure in Lin Muzhi's heart? Just listening to a group of people scolding him Lin Dog, they are also not at home, and they don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. A group of proud sons of the sky, if anything goes wrong, Lao Shi will be to blame.
After resting for a while, Lin Muzhi got up and pulled Xiao Jixiang.
"Let's go, take my brother to see our new house!"
Zhao Jixiang happily led his brother away, and Huang Guan, who was left out in the cold, didn't mind, and poured himself a drink by himself at the stone table.
The layout of the courtyard is similar to that of Lin Muzhi's previous kennel. There are two rooms in the east and west, the middle is the hall, and the west house is connected to the south courtyard wall is a shed, which can park some cattle and horses, and can also be used as a firewood house. The house on the east side is no longer the east wing, but the kitchen. The hall is not as big as the dog kennel in Taoxi Village, but it is a real living room, no longer a school for Mengtong, there are two side halls in the east and west, one is a dining room, the other is a living room for visitors, and the living room on the west side has a staircase to lead to the second floor, two rooms on the second floor, a master bedroom, and a side room. The master bedroom occupies almost two-thirds of the second floor. The roof is a triangular loft that can be used for both storage and insulation.
The staff treatment is very good, a small villa, or retro style!
After sneaking around his residence, Lin Muzhi found some problems, and there were a lot of living utensils. There is no reason why the academy arranged it so carefully, until Lin Muzhi came to the master bedroom, he didn't know that Zhao Dongning had lived here.
On the dresser in front of the bed was the rouge gouache that Zhao Dongning brought out from the village, which was not a valuable object. All of them were given to Zhao Dongning by some villagers, and some of them were used.
Looking at the things left by his wife, Lin Muzhi lowered his head and asked Zhao Jixiang:
"Where's my sister?"
Xiao Jixiang is also a little sad.
"My sister left three days ago."
Lin Muzhi regretted it a little, he shouldn't have walked so slowly, come earlier, maybe he can meet again. Once you meet, everything is possible!
Xiao Jixiang shook his brother's arm.
"My sister has always known that my brother is there, and someone will send a letter to my sister every day, and my sister will also read it to Xiao Juzi, and the things at home are all bought by my sister with Xiao Jixiang and Sister Zhu."
Spit out a breath of turbidity, Lin Muzhi was a little helpless, the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional.
Xiao Jixiang said that Ning'er knew his itinerary, which the teacher would not doubt, but he didn't say that someone came to urge Ning'er to go home, which means that Zhao Dongning didn't want to meet him at this time. Lin Muzhi pinched Xiao Jixiang's face.
"My sister is disobedient, let me catch it, and want him to look good! Or sister, you are the most obedient! You are not allowed to lie to your brother, your sister Zhu has a grudge against her brother, how can she help her brother buy supplies? ”
Lin Muzhi and Zhu Fuzi had a feud, that was before they met Xiao Jixiang, as for why they had a feud, it was not convenient to tell the little girl.
Xiao Jixiang squeezed out a smiley face.
"We all went to buy it together! There are Sister Zhu, Sister Jing, and Sister Li, and Sister Li often praises the poems written by her brother, saying that her brother writes very well! ”
Alas! You can say it, just now your sister Li also offended her brother to death! If you have a chance to make another compensatory to her, wouldn't you?
"It's getting dark, are you hungry? Brother, I'm going to cook for you! ”
Xiao Jixiang narrowed his big eyes into crescents and nodded vigorously!
The two went downstairs, and Huang Guanyi was busy in the afternoon, feeding the cattle, adding a lot of hay to the fence, and buying a lot of firewood. Although he didn't do it himself, his eyesight was still good.
"Little Master, I've already asked someone to buy dinner, and I'll be here in a moment."
It seems that I don't have to make my own dinner today.
"Fatty, don't you have to go to class in the afternoon? Run me to stay all afternoon, and be busy with some chores? ”
Huang Guan smiled.
"Little Master, I have already discussed with my previous master, and I will transfer to you in the future! Besides, I just came back today, so there's no need to rush to class, right? ”
is also said, who would be like Lao Shi, who will take his students to class and be promoted after a while? It's a little impersonal!
"Fatty! You can think about it, I really don't know how to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and when I come here, there is no possibility of a lifetime and fame. ”
The fat man seems to have seen a lot.
"What kind of fame is being tested!? Now that I understand, I have a headache when I see a book. Yes, I can't stand the pain of the head hanging beam and the cone stabbing the thigh; He also has no ability to understand poetry and books. It is a ten-year cold window, and it is just a bamboo basket to draw water, which is unrealistic. ”
It's rare to live and understand.
Not long after Lin Muzhi chatted with Huang Guan, a little guy came with a food box. There is a meal for nothing, happy!
After the meal, Lin Mu issued an eviction order and drove away the fat man. It's not a matter of always relying on it, it's getting dark, and it's time to rest! After a few days of worry, it is necessary to take a good rest.
I boiled hot water, washed up with my sister, relaxed my body and mind, and had a sweet night.
Early the next morning, after leaving breakfast for my brother, I called my brother, and Xiao Jixiang went to class. Lin Muzhi was a little difficult, he rested well last night, but Xiao Jixiang may not, it is estimated that it is the first night alone after leaving his hometown. This can make the old wet skills poor, there are some things that can't be helped, and now I can't invite anyone to accompany Xiao Jixiang. In total, the academy knows three women, and two of them are offended, even if they can be invited, they can't be invited! He is a man's courtyard here, and women who are close to him can stay overnight, and it is impossible for women with relatives to come. Is this thing really a joke? It's still a academy!
Before breakfast was finished, Huang Guan came to visit again, still carrying breakfast in his hand. Seeing that Lin Muzhi had already eaten, he was not polite, and spread the breakfast on the table and ate it with Lin Muzhi.
glanced up at Huang Guan.
"Did you really fall like that?"
Huang Guan still has some knots, and it is better to say it.
"How so?! If you don't mind at all, it's really not that kind of thing. What I don't understand is not whether I read well or not, but why did my father let me come to the college? It wasn't a seed of reading in the first place, so it had to throw me into the academy. You just said that every time I bought poetry, my father knew, not only did he not beat and scold me, but also gave me money, and asked me if it was enough? What do you call this? The twisted melon is not sweet, can my father not know this truth? Little Master, you tell me about it! ”
Pulling the last bite of rice in the bowl, Lin Muzhi said:
"Understand a little bit, I'll talk about it later, hurry up and clean up after eating. Anyway, where is the college library? ”
Huang Guan was eating, looking puzzled.
"What is a librarian?"
Belch... Don't have a library?
"It's the library!"
Huang Guan thought hard.
"The library? Does the academy have such a thing? How did I not know? ”
No way? This can be regarded as the highest university in Dahua, and there is not even a library. That's too fake, isn't it?!
"What about reading books in general?"
After the last bite of his meal, the fat man replied:
"What else can I do?! Borrow! If you want to read a book, you can borrow it, your classmates can borrow it, the local gentry can borrow it, and the master can also borrow it. Little Master, you shouldn't have gone to bed last night, and the pillow crushed your head, right?! Don't know this? ”
I know your grandma has a leg! If you don't have an internet, you won't even have a library! No wonder there are so few people in the world who read books! The restrictions are so big, and it's a ghost when there are too many!
"Fatty, pack up, get ready to go out and inspect the working environment."
After replying well, Huang Guan quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. The two bolted the courtyard door and went out.
It's March in Jiangnan, and the twilight is dark. I don't know when the drizzle will fall again, walk in such a drizzle, and feel the freshness and delicacy of the soft rain. The freshness and lingering of the drizzle make people feel natural, innocent and transparent. Take a stroll on such a drizzly day and enjoy the wind and rain. Chic and sprinkled like an elegant and elegant picture.
If you drink alcohol, it is not intoxicating, but it makes people drunk.
