Although the material of this era is not as rich as that of later generations, but people's serious attitude towards life makes Li Mao respectful, even those poor families who are difficult to take care of two meals and food and clothing, will also clean up the courtyard, plant flowers and grass in front of the house and behind the house, and wear clothes even if they are tired of patches, they will be washed cleanly, men and women, old and young, whether they are literate or not, they seem to be polite, and they will greet each other when they meet on the road. These are very different from Li Mao's experience in later generations, is civilization really getting more and more progressive with time? Li Mao suddenly felt a little confused.

Li Mao closed the door, wrung a towel and wiped his body, changed into the new clothes sent by Qingmo, sat down and drank clear tea, the so-called clear tea is warm water without salt and tea powder, and drank it on an empty stomach in the morning to moisten the stomach.

When the old Gu came again, he was followed by two eleven or twelve-year-old girls, holding a full set of grooming guys: copper basins, perfumes, combs, grates, toothbrushes, green salt, bamboo cups, mouthwashes, towels and other things, one of the two little girls served Li Mao to wash, and the other served him to comb his hair, and when he saw his short hair, the little girl who served to comb his hair was stunned, silently put away the comb and grate, picked up the toothbrush, dipped it in green salt and handed it to Li Mao.

The toothbrush is very elegant, the horsehair is planted very densely, and it feels a little hard, using this kind of thing to clean teeth Li Mao feels very novel, but he is not used to it for the first time, but for his own good teeth, he still asked the little girl very seriously for the essentials of use, Li Mao brushed very carefully and carefully, but still brushed out a mouthful of blood.

The two little girls couldn't laugh or cry at this big stupid apprentice who was eager to learn, and laughed all morning.

There are three towels in total, which are folded into boxy tofu cubes. The little girl who served to wash the towel and then greeted Li Mao's face, which scared Li Mao a lot, saying that the rich and noble enjoy Qingfu, but this Qingfu is not like this, they have hands and feet, what is it to ask others to help wash their faces? snatched the towel from the little girl's hand, and Li Mao solved the face problem with his hands and feet.

This was an unintentional move, but it made the little girl feel uneasy, with her head bowed, her hands crossed on her chest, her lip biting, and tears in her eyes. Li Mao smiled and comforted: "I'm used to being a monk, and I can't afford to be waited by others." Saying this, the little girl became happy, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, rolled her eyes and glanced at Li Mao, pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Lao Gu happened to come in from outside, and seeing this, he coughed pretentiously, slapped each of the two little girls' upright buttocks with his big hands, and drove them out.

Li Mao was very unaccustomed to Lao Gu's behavior of stealing and eating tender tofu, and he was very cold between his words, and Lao Gu felt bored and withdrew.

After a while, a pock-faced woman came in with two maids in Tsing Yi holding refreshments, and when these two maids in Tsing Yi walked past Li Mao, they looked at him secretly, laughing and eating, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of youthful breath.

When the pock-faced woman saw the two little maids making trouble, she coughed, and the little maids immediately reined in.

The Xue family is a big family, the big family has a large population, the rules are big, eat breakfast at the right time, not a moment early, if you are hungry before the meal, you have to eat some pastries pads. Li Mao drank a lot of wine and ate little last night, and he was already hungry at the moment, and the three of them came at the right time.

The woman smiled as she set the table: "Don't pay attention to them, I'll beat them when I turn around." ”

Li Mao asked curiously: "What is Jiaoke, and who is Jiaoke?" ”

The woman glanced at Li Mao and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a vulgar monk, and he doesn't even know what a delicate guest is. ”

"Me? Still delicate? Li Mao laughed heartily, "Auntie is so good at laughing, why am I still delicate with thick arms and legs?" ”

He turned back to the two maidservants who were arranging refreshments, "Do you think I look like a delicate person?" ”

The two maidservants glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, the pock-faced woman had a dark face, and raised her hand to fight, and the second woman raised the tray as a shield, slipped sideways past her, and fled.

Li Mao shook his head, he really couldn't understand what these two stupid girls were smirking at.

I drank a stomach full of wine last night, but I didn't eat anything, and I'm hungry at the moment. He picked up a piece of white cake shaped like a moon cake, opened his mouth and took a bite, soft and crispy, sweet and sweet, Li Mao frowned and swallowed, and hurriedly went to find water to drink, but the tea can be salty to death, and there are a bunch of things in it, there are fried wheat grains, shredded ginger, and some unknown beans.

After such a toss, Li Mao lost his appetite, put down the cake, clapped his hands, and habitually wiped it on his body, and then he found that the numb-faced woman was staring at him in surprise.

Li Mao retracted his hand and smiled wryly.

"You sit down and talk." The numb-faced woman greeted lightly, pushed a plate of water chestnut-like pastries in front of him, and said, "This is not sweet or salty, you pad your stomach first, the Xue family has big rules, and you can't open the meal until you have a meal, and the old lady is afraid that you will be hungry, so she specially sent me to send it." ”

The crispy yellow skin of "water chestnut" should be fried, crispy, and somewhat greasy, but fortunately, it is not outrageous, since it is not salty or sweet, it is greasy to be greasy, it is better than starving. Li Mao stuffed the water chestnut into his mouth, not too big or small, one in one mouthful.

The "water chestnut" was shattered under the squeezing of Li Mao's upper and lower rows of teeth, very brittle and greasy, not ordinary greasy, and the thin crispy skin was full of oil.

Li Mao pursed his lips, like swallowing a mouthful of burning red molten iron, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, and his face changed three times in an instant.

The pock-faced woman felt something was wrong, stood up in surprise, and was about to go out to call someone, but when she heard a "goo-dong", Li Mao forcibly swallowed the water chestnut and the water chestnut oil wrapped in the water chestnut, and he didn't care that the tea was salty, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank it thoroughly. Then he opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and kept babbling.

The pock-faced woman looked at him in surprise at first, then suddenly understood something, and laughed unconsciously, and then could not hold back any longer, and laughed out loud.

Half an hour later, this woman appeared in the boudoir of Xue Rong's concubine Yun Niang, in addition to Yun Niang and the personal maid Lingtong, there was also a maid in Tsing Yi, born with beautiful eyebrows, about fifteen or sixteen years old, saw this woman get up and salute. The woman pressed a finger on her forehead and sneered: "The little hoof who is in a hurry to marry has been wasted in the morning, and since you have seen him earlier, what should I do?" What's so nice about a dumb monk. ”

The little maid in Tsing Yi lowered her head and pursed her lips and snickered, Yun Niang was puzzled, and asked the reason, the woman squinted at the little maid, and then smiled: "Your good sister went to see someone early in the morning with your sister on her back." Hmph, I wore Qingmo's clothes, took Lao Gu's basin, and sent water for some reason. ”

Saying this, the cheeks of the little maid in Tsing Yi suddenly turned red. Yun Niang understood, poked a finger on her forehead lovingly, and said, "I came over early in the morning and couldn't close my mouth with a smile, I see." ”

The little maid replied: "I just went to see him, so what, if you allow you to make decisions without authorization and match me with someone, don't you allow me to go over to see how beautiful and ugly I am?" ”

After speaking, the little maid in Tsing Yi got up, and without waiting for her sister to make trouble, she went out the door.
