Chapter 16: The Jade Pendant (1)

As soon as you step into this courtyard, it is really extraordinary. There are a total of 14 houses in the front and back, four on the left and four on the left and four vertically. Instead of a cobblestone road, there is a cross promenade with cornices, which meets the promenade of the rows of houses. The four open spaces in the courtyard are filled with various flowers and strange-shaped stones. A few begonia trees and redbud trees dot the area, and although the flowers have bloomed, the lush foliage is also pleasing to the eye.

"What a quadrangle! Connected to each other is self-contained. Good, good. Tong Hang pointed to the two-fold seven-room room, turned his head and asked, "Brother Mu'er, is there a mountain behind that row of houses?" ”

"Yes." Mu'er said: "But there are three small stone rooms behind these seven rooms. ”

"Oh?" Tong Hang couldn't help but be happy, there is still something behind? Busy asked, "What for?" ”

"A mill, a firewood room, and a kitchen." Mu'er hurriedly replied, "There is also a well in that mill. ”

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs."

"That's not small." Xiao Cui finally returned to normal, and said, "It's even better than where we live in the backyard." ”

"Childe, Childe......" Someone outside shouted, and the three of them hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.

I saw four people moving like they were moving, carrying large and small burdens, and two of them were still carrying burdens.

Seeing someone come out, the old man with a white beard put down his burden. He stepped forward, bowed down and asked, "Which one is the eighth son?" ”

Tong Hang hurriedly said: "Old man, I am." Are you Uncle Qian? ”

When the old man heard this, he trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't call it that, son, this will kill the old slave." The small one is Yang Deqian, who originally farmed in the outside grange. Now that the old lady has brought back the old slave's family, we are already grateful. ”

Tong Hang hurriedly stepped forward to help Uncle Qian and said, "Uncle Qian, you are so old, don't kneel around." ”

"What's that? You are a child, this rule cannot be broken. ”

"That'...... Let's do it. Tong Hang had no choice but to do so.

"Hanzi, come here, kowtow to the son." Uncle Qian shouted to the strong young man behind him.

The shirtless young man like a black tower put down his burden, walked over, bowed his head like a mountain and a sea, and shouted, "Hello son! ”

Tong Hang was taken aback, why is it so strong? Look at that muscle, a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger!

"Uncle Qian, this ......"

"Childe, just call him Hanzi." Uncle Qian smiled and said, "Don't think that he eats too much in the future." ”

"Why?" Tong Hang hurriedly said to Hanzi: "Brother Hanzi, get up." ”

"That's Xiaofeng, right? Uncle Qian, this is our young lady. Mu'er said next to Xiaocui: "Let Xiaofeng go with the young lady." ”

"Good wood butler." Uncle Qian hurriedly stepped forward to greet Mu'er.

Mu'er had never received such courtesy, and she didn't know whether to return the gift for a while, so she had to hum in her nose.

This made Uncle Qian feel the majesty of the young housekeeper, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to Xiaofeng: "Girl, go to the young lady's side." ”

"Let's all go in, we still need to tidy up inside." Tong Hang hurriedly shouted when he saw that everyone was very restrained.

Mu'er was a housekeeper for the first time, and she didn't know what kind of face to put on, so she was stunned. Uncle Qian saw that the wooden housekeeper was not smiling, and he also stood next to him and was uneasy. Hanzi stood beside the burden and hummed. Xiaofeng and her mother lowered their heads and looked left and right. Xiao Cui just heard the young lady's words, and she was shy. As soon as everyone heard Tong Hang's order, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and they hurriedly moved.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is dappled in the courtyard. The evening breeze blows, and all kinds of flowers dance.

The ancients did not have the habit of living overnight, getting up early to eat, and going to bed after dark. But it wasn't dark yet, and everyone was collecting and putting things in their rooms. Mu'er lives in the east four rooms, and Uncle Qian's wife and daughter Xiaofeng live in the west four rooms, so Hanzi naturally sleeps in the front row of the house and acts as the door god at night. The main room in the back row, the large room in the middle has been made into a hall, and the three rooms on the left are not currently useful. The one on the right, next to the main hall, was used as a study, and although there were no books, Tong Hang was happy, and of course others had no opinion. The middle room was occupied by Xiao Cui, and the one at the end was used as a private warehouse by Xiao Cui.

Tong Hang sat in the hall drinking tea, and Uncle Qian stood aside respectfully. Only the two of them are free, Uncle Qian doesn't have to tidy up the room, and Tong Hang's things have already been brought into her room by Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui is busy in the room at this time.

"Uncle Qian, you don't need to serve here, you can go down and rest." Tong Hang saw Uncle Qian standing next to him, and he felt a little reluctant to go. If this was in the previous life, sitting and drinking tea, there was an old man standing next to him respectfully, someone would have taken pictures with his mobile phone and uploaded them on the Internet, it is estimated that the click rate must be high, maybe there are still people who want to flesh themselves!

"The little one went down." Uncle Qian took a few steps back and saluted: "Son, also rest early." ”

"Okay, good ......" Tong Hang hurriedly stood up and nodded in agreement.

When Uncle Qian saw it, he stopped talking, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Tong Hang saw Uncle Qian leaving, drank tea, and walked to Xiaocui's room. The pressure in my heart is extremely high, although I am in my twenties and I have seen guns in my previous life, but in this life I am only twelve years old after all, and Xiaocui is only fourteen years old, and both of them are only the age of junior high school students.

Walking into the room, Na Xiaocui was already busy and was sitting at the round table in the room. Seeing Tong Hang walk in, he stood up with a red face and said, "Xianggong, you sit, I'll pour water for you to drink." ”

Messire? This has not yet held a wedding and started to call Xianggong? So casual in ancient times? Still want to drink water? I've had a couple of drinks just now, wow.

Tong Hang sat down, but the tea handed over by Xiaocui was put on the table, and said, "Sister Xiaocui, you can sit too." ”

Xiao Cui blushed, sat down on the round stool next to her, and rubbed the silk scarf handkerchief in her hand with both hands, which the old lady had forced into her baggage.

"Sister Cui'er, I didn't go to my mother's mountain to bury me today, and tomorrow I will go up the mountain to keep filial piety for my mother."

"You're going alone?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask worriedly, she knew about the festival with Tong Hang in the West Courtyard.

"Hmm."

"How long are you going to keep it?"

"Three days."

"Three days?" Xiaocui couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could there be someone who only kept it for three days? According to the rules, it takes three years, but there are also those who keep it for one year, and the shortest is three months, right?

"One day at a time, one year at a time."

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, there is still such a law-abiding?

"I want to think about how to avenge my mother." Tong Hang grabbed Xiaocui's hand and said softly: "When you take revenge, I will take you to the capital to check my life experience and find my father." At that time, we won't have to be this scared boy and young lady. ”

Xiao Cui retracted her hand a few times, but did not shrink it, so she let Tong Hang pull it, and when she heard Tong Hang's words, she couldn't help but say, "Background? I don't know if you can tell your background from what you put here with me before. ”
