Chapter 208 But the Tao is now difficult to hear
"Are you awake?"
"Huh? Well. That one... How did I get past my sleep? ”
"Nothing, caused by excessive sadness."
"Oh, thanks..."
"I said..."
"You say."
"Can you not be so humble in your tone?"
"Maybe it's because I don't think I'm capable... So..."
"San'er, hold your chest up and be a man!"
"I... Exert oneself! ”
"It's not an effort, it's a must!"
"Okay!"
"I thought about it, calling you San'er always covers up your beautiful face. Why don't I change the name to you? ”
"Say it, but I have a small request, just don't call me by my original name."
"How could I call you by your original name?" Xiao Wan smiled slightly and gently pinched Mu Xiyao's cheek, "Your original name is Mu Xiyao, do you think you should change it to Xi'er or Yao'er?" ”
"Yao'er..."Mu Xiyao seemed to remember something, and her eyes were a little gloomy. The person who used to call himself Xiao Yao'er a lot... Long gone. I don't know, who did it...
"What's wrong? Do you want to change it to Yao'er? Xiao Wan thought she liked the title.
Mu Xiyao came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. She didn't want to think about the painful past anymore, and now she couldn't even take care of herself, so what revenge could she talk about?
"That's Xi'er?" Xiao Wan asked again. She also saw that Mu Xiyao seemed to be a little sensitive to the title of Yao'er, as if it reminded her of something bad.
Mu Xiyao was silent for a while before looking at Xiao Wan with firm eyes, and nodded as if she had made a big decision.
"Okay, then I'll call you Xi'er." Xiao Wan clapped her hands, seemingly a little happy.
"Mmmm, thank you, Sister Wan."
"Actually, I have a question for you." Xiao Wan's eyes became serious.
"You... You say. When Mu Xiyao saw Xiao Wan's appearance, she felt nervous inexplicably.
"How old are you?"
"Ten... Seventeen, ten more months will be eighteen, right? ”
"Seventeen? But your mind... It's like a little kid..."
"It's... I... My family didn't teach me what to do..."
"Hmm... Xi'er, do you want to be a human being? Be sure to think twice before telling me carefully. ”
"I, I think."
yes, who wouldn't want to be a master? Instead of looking at other people's heels all the time, live your true self. But is this something that can be done by talking?
"You're discouraged, I can see it, don't deny it."
"Sister Wan, me, what should I do?"
This month, it's all steamed bread pickles, steamed bread pickles, and it's thick
Cloth old clothes, she's had enough! She also loves rouge foundation! I like the clothes of red and willow green! I like the golden hairpin jade!
"Will you listen to me?"
"Yes!"
"Well, from tonight onwards, what do I say, what do you do."
"Hmm!"
Xiao Wan brought a bowl of medicinal soup from the dresser and handed it to Mu Xiyao, who was leaning on the bedside. "Drank it."
Mu Xiyao smelled the medicinal soup full of the smell of Chinese medicine, and only felt her stomach rolling. She couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and asked angrily, "Sister Wan, why should I drink this?" ”
"For your body." Xiao Wan's orchid fingers twisted the porcelain spoon and stirred the soup gently.
The dregs at the bottom of the bowl mixed with the soup, making the smell of the medicine even stronger.
"Hmm!" Mu Xiyao only wanted to gag.
"If you can't drink this soup, then what are you going to do!" Xiao Wan seemed to be very angry, she put the bowl at the head of the bed and reminded Mu Xiyao: "If you can't even stand this little suffering, then I didn't say it before." I went out to see if the officials were gone. If I come back and the soup in this bowl is still moving, then you might as well go! We, the breezy Accord, don't raise idlers! Hum! ”
With that, she got up and opened the door and left angrily.
Mu Xiyao looked at the soup in the bowl, sniffed the strong smell of Chinese medicine, pursed her red lips, and was in a dilemma.
...
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Wan looked at the non-stop Chi and those sisters with some doubts, and her heart was full of questions.
"The official's wife wants to eat fish! When did we Breeze Accord ever make fish? It's really...! Ay! It's all the fault of the little old man of Wu De's disease! ”
Chi complained and walked away, "I still have to go and get busy with the tea of those officials, Sister Wan, you can ask others!" ”
Eat fish? What does this have to do with Wu De's disease?
Xiao Wan looked at the red who had walked away, and then saw the orange in a hurry. She hurriedly grabbed Orange and hurriedly asked, "Orange, I haven't come out for a few hours, what happened?" ”
"Who pulls... Ah, it's Sister Wan! You're finally out! Let's go see those old immortals! We're all dying! If you want to drink tea and eat, we are a teahouse, not a restaurant! Busy to death, busy to death! I'm going to stir-fry a few side dishes! Sister Wan is not talking! ”
As she spoke, Orange left.
"This..."Xiao Wan was a little dumbfounded. She glanced at the room behind her, gritted her teeth, and went to solve the problems of those officials first!
...
Goo-doo, goo-doo, goo-toot.
"Aha-"
The smell of medicine wafted through the room.
Mu Xiyao looked up to the sky and sighed, put the empty bowl on the head of the bed, and collapsed on the bed, looking at the crisscrossing beams with blank eyes.
Sister Wan's room is so beautiful...
The flickering candlelight reflected on the wall, glowing a little orange-red. The dark sandalwood chairs and sandalwood tables, the big red quilts, the pale yellow sheets, and the pillowcases on the pillows are embroidered with the pattern of two phoenixes flying together.
The pillow core is not the hard silkworm sand pillow, but soft and soft, and lying on it gives people a feeling of wanting to sleep.
And gently lifted the sheets, under the body is not the random stack of straw to pile the bed, the bottom is sandalwood, followed by an unknown material, elastic bed, and then there is a soft layer of cloth, I don't know what is sewn inside, the top, that is, the cloth lying under me. It can't be called cloth anymore, it's a kind of yarn, and when you rub it gently with your fingers, there is a silky feeling.
"This..."Mu Xiyao didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Even when I was the second lady, I didn't have such a good bed to sleep in... That's all hard... How can Sister Wan's bed be comfortable?
"I want to just lie down like this... I don't want to get up...," she sighed softly.
I don't know how long it took.
Crunch.
The door opened.
Xiao Wan walked in with an angry face.
I saw her sit down in front of the dresser, picked up an unknown bottle, which was filled with transparent golden particles, then poured herself a glass of water, opened another bottle, scooped out the orange-yellow viscous liquid inside, put it in the cup and stirred it gently. Then he looked up and swallowed the golden particles, and took another sip of the water in the glass.
Mu Xiyao blinked curiously and asked, "Sister Wan, what are you doing?" ”
How can there be a sweet smell in the room?
"Are you talking about that?" Xiao Wan lifted the two bottles and looked at them. "One bottle is fish oil and the other is royal jelly."
"What's that?" Fish oil? Royal jelly? Not to mention seeing it, Mu Xiyao has never even heard of it.
"It's normal that you don't know." Xiao Wan seemed to open another bottle, wiped the oily things inside on her face, and said, "It's all from the Outlands, um... Do you want to try it? ”
Mu Xiyao swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.
I just finished drinking the medicinal soup, and my mouth is still bitter. I really want to eat something sweet to suppress the bitterness.
"Drink." Xiao Wan handed the cup to Mu Xiyao, "I'll just make another cup if it's gone." I bought them all the ones they did well. ”
Mu Xiyao finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly turned the cup, and drank most of the cup. She sighed and asked casually, "Sister Wan, how much do these things cost?" ”
It seems that one bottle per person who is well done here should not be expensive, right?
"Hmm... It's not expensive, I want to think about it..."Xiao Wan was smearing oil on her face again, "A bottle is enough... Fifty taels of gold? ”
"Oh, fifty... Wait a minute! Mu Xiyao's eyes widened suddenly, "Many... How much?! Her voice trembled.
Five... Fifty taels of gold... This... It's enough for a large family for two or three years, right?! No... More than that...
"Fifty taels of gold, what's wrong?" Xiao Wan turned around, "It's cheap, do you know how much I spent on the bed you're lying on now?" ”
"Ah——!h The thing covering her face startled Mu Xiyao, "Sister Wan! You... Your face! ”
"Oh, the Outlanders call this a mask." Xiao Wan seemed to know that Mu Xiyao would have this reaction, "This is cheaper, fifty silver a piece, it's okay." ”
Still... Not bad...
Mu Xiyao's face turned pale, is it okay to call fifty taels of silver? Suddenly, she reacted, Xiao Wan seemed to be asking her about the price of the bed, so she asked tremblingly: "The bed... How much did you spend on the bed, Sister Wan...? ”
"Not much... It was only four hundred taels of gold. Xiao Wan looked in the mirror and said to herself.
Thump.
Mu Xiyao was almost so frightened that she fell under the bed. Four hundred taels of gold... The way it looks... She wanted to cry without tears, and suddenly felt that she was so poor.
"What's wrong with you?" At this time, Xiao Wan also took off the mask, "Isn't it four hundred taels of gold?" You'll be able to earn it later. ”
Mu Xiyao cried with a sad face. "Sister, are you sure you are talking about four hundred taels of gold, not four hundred taels of silver?" Woooooooo
"Four hundred taels of silver?" Xiao Wan was a little strange. "Four hundred taels of silver, probably half a pillow for me! Xi'er, do you know what's in my pillow? ”
"What is it?" Mu Xiyao only felt that the first half of her life had been in vain.
"What kind of sponge do you hear from those foreign businessmen? Anyway, I don't know very much, but I asked the doctor to check, and the doctor said that this is a good thing, there is... There are anti... What is the resistance? I forgot, since it's a good thing I'm definitely going to buy it. Then I found someone to make a pillow. ”
"The bed..."
"There are sponges, and there are like the bones of a marine animal. What's the animal's name? You see my memory, I can't remember. Xiao Wan smiled awkwardly.
"Oh..."Mu Xiyao leaned weakly on the edge of the bed, "Sister Wan, I'm afraid the money you spent on this bed is not enough for me to use for a few lifetimes..."
"If you listen to me, I promise, in less than three years, you can own half of what is here." Xiao Wan grinned. "Of course, it's up to you to be obedient or not."
