Chapter 14 My Room, My Handmaid (Ask for Collections, Ask for Comments, and Reward It's OK)

Xuzhuang, separated from a saline-alkali land by a hill, now there are seven households, 45 people, including more than a dozen children, all of whom moved from outside at the end of the Sui Dynasty to escape the rebellion, and have taken root here without hunger or hunger for more than ten years, and more than 100 acres of cultivated land have been planted around.

A few days ago, as soon as the order came down, their land was given by the imperial court to an official named Xu Qing, and the future rent was not handed over to the imperial court, and it was all Xu Qing's.

Xu Qing approached Zhuangzi from the path, heard some information from the porter's words, and rewarded,

Then he asked, "Where is my house?" It can't be those thatched huts, tsk, that's going to kill me. ”

"Hey, hey, the big official laughed, you are a nobleman, how can you live like us with mud legs." The porter smiled unpretentiously, he then bypassed Zhuangzi, and walked more than a mile, a quaint house came into view, and there were two dignified characters of Xu Mansion on the door, I don't know who mentioned it, a person-high adobe brick wall, exposed inside, blue bricks and gray tiles neat and tidy.

"There used to be a rich man who had good luck, so he heard about feng shui, and donated a small temple here, and there was an old monk a few years ago, there was no incense, and the old monk failed to pass on the mantle, so it was abandoned."

"The county lord asked someone to worship the Buddha statue here, and after a few days of rest, it became a new house......" Xu Qing rewarded the porter with a few more money, and the porter respectfully said goodbye.

"Duh... Honk... Xu Qing asked Xu Qi to lead the donkey and stepped forward to knock on the door alone

"Anyone?"

"Tuk Tuk Tuk...... Is no one home? ”

After knocking for a long time, there was a trotting from behind the door, and a female voice came back inside: "The master of the house is not there, and I have something to wait for ......the master to come back."

"Master? Hee ......" Xu Qing was happy: "Your master is back, come out quickly to greet ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, my master is an official, and you can't afford to offend it."

Xu Qingda wanted to see these two maids more and more in his heart.

"There are official documents as evidence, and you can't fake ......"

Behind the door, there was another snort.

"That'...... You...... You throw it in through the wall, I have to look before I open the door......"

Xu Qing motioned for Xu Qi to take the paperwork over, rolled a roll and projected it in. After a while, the door slowly opened halfway, and a round-faced head poked out of it, and he looked at it timidly. Then he and another maidservant came out and saluted directly in front of Xu Qing, and it seemed that they had seen the outside clearly through the crack in the door.

"Welcome back to my lord...... " the two girls said crisply.

Xu Qing couldn't help but be disappointed when he looked at the two maidservants, different from the little beauties he imagined, these two maids were slightly chubby, and they were the first round-faced girls to come out. The other one is thinner, the same as Xu Qi, but a lot taller.

"Sixth Brother Chu, will this be our family from now on?" Xu Qi ran to Xu Qing and asked quietly.

"Hello Miss..."The two maidservants shouted in unison again, they thought that Xu Qi was Xu Qing's sister, but in fact, Xu Qing did this to Xu Qi, but Xu Qi was so frightened that she shrank back.

"Get up, take us in, where is this donkey?" The two maidservants carefully agreed and took the initiative to lead the donkey.

Walking into the gate, there is another wall, which gathers five or six meters from the gate, like something in the front yard, and there are two osmanthus trees.

There was a small gap on the left, and in another place, the round-faced maid led the donkey over.

Passing through this wall, it is the inner house, a row of houses on the left and right and a two-story small attic in the middle surrounded by a patio, the yard is spotless, and there are some flowers and plants, which attracted a burst of cheers from Xu Qi's little girl. It seems that the yard is well kept, and Xu Qing wants to reward the two maidservants.

Entering the hospital, there is a relaxed heart, pampering and humiliation are forgotten, and the sister is in the wind, and he is happy.

Entering the small attic, there is a vacant room, and there is also a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room, and the house is simply set up with tables, chairs, cabinets, and beds, which are also neat and spotless.

There is a door behind the kitchen, leading to the backyard, and there are some vegetables in the backyard, and if you look closely, they are all white radish.

Going up from the back of the vacant room, it was the second floor, there was nothing, it was empty.

Overall, Xu Qing was very satisfied, and swept away the frustration when he first arrived in Xuzhuang. Xu Qi was also dizzy, she had never seen such a big house since she was a child, in fact, Xu Qing had never seen such a big house, this is a few hundred square meters, tsk, corruption and corruption......

Xu Qing sat down and rested for a while, and when he saw the round-faced maid bolting the donkey back, he was happy to ask about the life experience of the two.

The slightly chubby one is called Xiaoru, and the thin one is called Xiaoyue, both of them are palace maids of the former Sui, both of them are sixteen years old, and they feel guilty when they hear this Xu Qing inexplicably, but it is very wonderful, hehehe. The air was quiet for a while:

"Do you want tea?"

"Want" "Don't" Xu Qi Xu Qing returned at the same time, Xu Qing said later: "Give it to Xu Qi, I don't want it, by the way, don't call me master in the future, just call ...... Well...... Young master, ......"

"Yes," the two of them answered honestly and went out, leaving only the two of them.

"Sixth Brother Chu, will we really live here in the future?"

"Mm-hmm, I'll live here if nothing happens......"

After a while, the two of them came back, holding two porcelain bowls, although Xu Qing said not to drink, but they also soaked. There was a bowl of tea soup in the porcelain bowl, Xu Qing didn't drink it, he looked at Xu Qi like a good show, and smiled evilly.

However, Xu Qing was disappointed, Xu Qi took a sip, smacked his lips, and then drank it all.

No, isn't the tea of the Tang Dynasty a bunch of green onions, ginger and garlic, how can Xu Qi eat it.

Xu Qing inexplicably picked it up, took a sip of tea, and secretly spit it back into the bowl, saying in his heart that Xu Qi was worthy of being a native of the Tang Dynasty.

The two maidservants saw that Xu Qing was fine, quietly retreated, and was busy cleaning up the room with Xu Qing, Xu Qing said Xu Zhuang after noon, it stands to reason that the system of two meals a day, and it should be finished in more than an hour. The two maidservants are still busy making dinner, and they usually don't have any vegetables at home, and now they are busy buying them.

After watching the two of them busy, Xu Qing was very comfortable and useful, thinking that the remaining silk cloth would be given to them to cut clothes, and by the way, another one would be cut for Xu Qi. Xu Qing found the cart and moved the things on it, more than sixty catties of copper coins, enough for him to use for a year. But he was surprised that when he walked to the stable, he saw no horses, and there was only a donkey munching hay in the stable, didn't he say that there was a carriage. Do you want to send it again? Wouldn't that be a tip, Xu Qing frowned, looking like an iron rooster.

Xiaoyue Xiaoru helped Xu Qing clean up a bedroom, and then vacated a room for Xu Qi where the two of them were sleeping, and they squeezed into one room. Xiaoyue told Xu Qing that he had to thank Zou County Ling these days, and he left some money and rice and some daily necessities for the two girls, so as not to let them wait for Xu Qing hungry.

Seeing that the bedroom was well organized, not only did I admire the two maidservants, who were so efficient, they deserved to come out of the palace. So Xu Qing generously gave the silk cloth to the two people.
