Chapter Thirty-Eight: Familiar Knowledge
At this time, Yue'er had a hint of joy, nodded and got busy.
It seems that everything is familiar with the road, and it will be repaired in a while, and the strings of the zither are rattled.
Jiang Nuan exhaled deeply, sat on the bed and lay down: "It's a little tired, but it's worth it, let's start pulling out the weeds in the yard tomorrow, it would be great if we could plant a few plum blossoms in the plum forest." ”
Yue'er looked back at Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan's eyelids were already heavy and were about to close, Yue'er smiled lightly and came over to help her take off her shoes. Freed from the shackles, Jiang Nuan fell asleep, and slept well after labor!
After a dreamless night, Jiang Nuan stretched his waist and sat up from the bed contentedly, it was not yet bright outside, and the dawn of dawn had penetrated through the window paper, and vaguely fell on the zither strings under the windowsill.
At this time, Yue'er was lying on the low table and still sleeping deeply, Jiang Nuan shook her head, this girl didn't know how to go to bed. I also blame myself, I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep on the bed and forgot to tell her.
There is only one bed in the building this month, and they can only squeeze together, but fortunately, although the bed is not fragrant and soft, it is also spacious, and it is more than enough to sleep two people.
"Gollum." Jiang Nuan looked at his stomach in embarrassment, and consciously lay down on the bed to forage for food.
The things sent by Xiaoxiao yesterday were put in the cabinet, there were dishes, but there was no rice and noodles or anything like that, could it be that there was originally something in this house, why didn't you see it when I cleaned it yesterday?
At this time, Jiang Nuan searched everywhere, and finally found a stove and pot, as well as rice noodles and cabbage, in a small firewood room outside the house.
Oh, this is supposed to be the kitchen, but it looks like a latrine. Yesterday, I was just cleaning up the house, but I neglected it here.
Jiang Nuan took a look and felt that this place was really not suitable for a kitchen, it was too shabby and couldn't be sorted out. I simply moved my things to the spare house and lit a stove to make a fire for cooking.
"Gege, let's let the slave come!" Just when Jiang Nuan was tormented by the smoke and looked angry, Yue'er ran out with her clothes on, as if she smelled the smell of smoke and came out in a hurry, her clothes were not tied, and a pair of white jade rabbits in her apricot belly pocket seemed to jump out, shaking Jiang Nuan's eyes in white flowers.
"Uh...... Yue'er, you still want to wear your clothes properly! Otherwise, she doesn't know if she will have a nosebleed as a homosexual!
At this time, Yue'er's face turned red, turned around and quickly pulled up the placket, fastened the buckle, and then squatted down to make a fire to cook.
Jiang Nuan took a back seat with interest, but Yue'er's movements were not very skilled, but they were much better than her.
Half an hour later, the two drank hot porridge.
"Yue'er, your skills are good!"
Yue'er was embarrassed: "It's okay if Gege doesn't mind, I really won't do anything." ”
"It's really good, it's really good, if I burn down the house, I can't do it, you can also sit down and eat." As I said yesterday, there is no distinction between master and servant in Yuelou Curie, and there is no humility. Jiang Nuan smiled and pulled Yue'er to sit down.
Yue'er smiled, but she didn't sit down generously.
"Yue'er, how old are you?"
"Seventeen."
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened: "But why didn't you get married?" Isn't it a delay to be sold to the house as a maid! ”
Yue'er laughed, and Jiang Nuan felt that this smile was more ugly than crying.
"Yue'er's parents died, and my younger brother also died of illness at the beginning of the year, and I was the only one in the family. What is the delay not to delay. ”
Jiang Nuan sighed softly, not wanting to arouse Yue'er's sadness, so he patted her on the shoulder: "Although I deserve to be a bag, if I go and tell my mother to send you out of the house to be a good person, she will still agree." ”
Yue'er panicked: "Gege, don't kill the slave maid, I have sold myself into Huafu, I am a person from Huafu in life, and I am a ghost in Huafu in death." The slave didn't complain! ”
"Yue'er, do you really think so?"
Yue'er nodded vigorously, as if she was afraid that Jiang Nuan would be suspicious.
Jiang Nuan smiled: "Then it depends on your own meaning, I'm afraid that you will be wronged by me." ”
Yue'er shook her head: "I'm not wronged, the slave maid has never seen a master like Gege, and the slave maid is willing to follow Gege!" ”
Jiang Nuan sighed: "But I'm not forcing you to show loyalty, nor am I testing you or anything." It's all women, I'll think about you, your parents are dead, no one is in charge, seventeen years old is not too young, Yue'er, I don't think your behavior is like an ordinary small family, I don't ask you what you have experienced, but don't have a bad life because you were involved in the past, it is a big deal! ”
Yue'er's eyes showed a look of doubt: "Everyone in the house said that Gege has changed after waking up this time. ”
Jiang Nuan smiled, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Didn't you just enter the mansion?" Do you know what it was like to be a Gege before? ”
Yue'er said: "I used to hear those mothers-in-law talk about it, how can I know." ”
The two quickly finished a large pot of white porridge, briefly freshened up, and then picked up a shovel and began to clean up the weeds in the yard.
Later, two little maids who didn't know came later, carrying a burlap bag, which was full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a little pork.
Naturally, it was sent by Hua's order, Jiang Nuan and Yue'er carried it into the house, Jiang Nuan smiled and said that she would show her hand at night, no matter what Yue'er had to raise the stove first.
At this time, the weeds in the yard seemed to be more than one person tall, but because the area was small, it took a while to clear out, and the workload was much smaller than yesterday.
Now the whole Yuelou residence seems to be a new look, clean and tidy, warm and quiet in the clear light of the afternoon.
In the evening, Yue'er lit a fire, and Jiang Nuan made two specialty dishes, back to the pot of meat and mapo tofu, which made Yue'er spicy, but she couldn't stop eating.
Wait until the soup is full. Jiang Nuan leaned on the low table contentedly and looked out the window with his hands. The eyebrows of the second quarter moon are curved, like the two willow eyebrows of a beauty.
"Gege, go to bed early." After Yue'er packed up her things and entered the house, she saw Jiang Nuan looking at the sky in a daze.
Jiang Nuan was stunned: "How can anyone go to bed so early." ”
"What are you going to do?"
Jiang Nuan looked at Yue'er: "You can play the guzheng, right?" ”
Yue'er was stunned: "The slave won't." ”
Jiang Nuan smiled slyly: "You don't find out for yourself, when you tell a lie, you call yourself a slave, and when you tell the truth, you call yourself Yue'er." ”
Yue'er's face was a little unnatural: "Really? Slave...... Yue'er didn't find out. ”
Jiang Nuan said: "Yue'er, your eyes are full of stories. ”
"Gege is really joking." Yue'er dodged and smiled slightly.
"And I don't want to peek into your story, I just want to find some entertainment, such as listening to you play the guzheng."
Yue'er was stunned: "Entertainment? ”
"yes, don't you think it's boring? When I was a child, I wished I could play the guzheng, especially this kind of guzheng, which felt so temperamental. ”
"I heard that Gege's mother plays the guzheng very well, and she is like a smooth stream. Didn't she teach Gege? ”
Jiang Nuan thought about it, indeed, the zither here must be Gege's mother Aunt Liu's, and this zither is carved with plum blossoms, and the workmanship is exquisite, although it is not like an ordinary product.
"I heard people say that this guzheng is called Miaoyin Qianli, which was specially made for the eldest lady by the old man, and the guzheng lovers in Suzhou are proud to be able to hear the guzheng sound played by Miaoyin Qianli."
"I have to listen to that. Yue'er, don't you want to play it? Don't worry, I won't say that you are playing the zither, there are so many strange things that happened to Gege from the dead, and there is nothing surprising to suddenly play the zither. ”
Yue'er bit her lip, it seemed that she was really moved. Jiang Nuan pulled her to the guzheng: "And I know, you are also a person who loves the guzheng, the opportunity is rare, don't miss it!" ”
Yue'er finally nodded, sat down cross-legged, flicked her fingers, and the crisp guzheng sound broke through the air.
"What tunes do you like to listen to?"
Jiang Nuan smiled: "You can play casually, play what you like the most." ”
Yue'er thought for a while: "Then I'll play a song 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix'." ”
Jiang Nuan hadn't heard of it, so he could only nod.
Yue'er is elegant, plucking the zither strings, and the graceful music echoes in the Yuelou House. Hundred birds and phoenixes listen to the festive and cheerful tune, light and lively, Yue'er's guzheng art is superb, the slightest is in the buckle, such as a pearl falling on the jade plate, the ice spring is quiet, and Jiang Nuan is in a state of mind.
At the end of the song, Jiang Nuan forgot to applaud.
"Yue'er's guzheng skills are not high, Gege still hopes to forgive me!"
Jiang Nuan sighed: "Yue'er, aren't you still high?" High, really high! ”
Yue'er smiled lightly and got up: "Gege praise." ”
"It's really unbelievable to say that you are a maid, more than me."
"Gege is so smart, it's not easy to learn." Yue'er said.
Jiang Nuan was stunned: "Yes, there is nothing to do if you stay here anyway, why don't you teach me to play the guzheng, and I will teach you to do yoga." ”
"Fish what?"
"It's a sport that can keep you in shape like this forever!"
Yue'er's face turned red again, how could this Gege talk so unobtrusively!
At this time, the gusts of winter wind were strong, blowing the red lanterns hanging high at the gate of Huafu swaying from side to side, the sky was overcast and gloomy, and yesterday's sunshine seemed to be replaced by haze in an instant. Jiang Nuan was wearing the red cloak given by Hua Li, with green silk and light silk, and her black hair like a waterfall hung softly down to her shoulders.
Jiang Nuan shuddered, what the hell is this weather, it's so cold.
Today is the day when Hua Heng and Hua Wu triumphantly return to Suzhou, and everyone in the house will go to the door to greet them.
No, before dawn, Jiang Nuan was woken up by a hurried knock on the door, hurriedly asked Yue'er to freshen up, and walked to the door of the house.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Jiang Nuan was stunned.
It's really a big battle, the servants carried the glass palace lamp to illuminate several streets, the light and shadow in the darkness before dawn were shining, the drum band was already waiting on the side, the honor guard ribbons danced with the cold wind, and the red brocade carpet on the ground stretched from the gate of the house to the outside, Jiang Nuan couldn't see his head on tiptoe, and he didn't know if it had been spread to the gate of Suzhou.
