Chapter 80: Seventy-two Tenants
Ye Zhao got out of the room, stretched his waist, the cicadas hissed on the willow trees in the courtyard, and the heat was still there, but in his heart, it was much smoother, so he knew that probably these people were chest tightness and irritability, and most of them also had physiological disorders.
"Yo, this master is new here, right?" Under the willow tree, the tenant who was walking around with a birdcage greeted Ye Zhao with a smile on his face, and he bent his body and stretched out his hand to give an authentic Manchurian hand salute, Ye Zhao was inexplicable, he never used this etiquette when he met Debin, so he smiled and nodded to him, ignoring his stubble.
The tenant was a middle-aged man, wearing a green cloth robe, with a black mole on his slender face.
The two tenants in the courtyard who have not moved out, this identity is naturally investigated clearly, except for the "Brother Wei" who is familiar with Zhu Sisi, it is this broken household who walks around with a broken birdcage all day long.
The surname of the broken family is Li, the nickname is Li Plucking, from Fuzhou, the one who learned the Eight Banners is called a full, and he also said that his mother was born in the royal family, he was a member of the Han Army, but the guards checked it really, Fuzhou broke the house, I don't know where to cheat the money and came to Nanjing to mess around, I want to think that Nanjing has a chance, and I came here to fish in troubled waters.
Although he is a liar, the bottom has been cleared, and he is basically a harmless creature, so he stayed, but his posture as a flag man made Ye Zhao helpless, in this world, there are really everyone.
"Yo, you're not in Qi, aren't you?" Li Plucking Mao's face showed some arrogance, and he could see Ye Zhao's bright satin clothes, coupled with the big house that he rented for one silver dollar a month, so he grinned and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just my master has a word, and I will keep it for you to carry the flag." ”
Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Forget it." Snapping open the folding fan, Li Plucking's eyes couldn't help but stare at the emerald jade wrench on Ye Zhao's slender and good-looking fingers, his eyes lit up, two steps closer, and his small eyes stained with eye feces squinted, and looked at it fiercely, "Master, you are genuine, it's genuine, right?" ”
Ye Zhao said with a smile: "It's on the stall." ”
Li Plucking immediately felt a little disdainful, and said: "I said, this thing, if it is genuine, it is the authentic Lantian ancient jade, then it has to be hundreds of silver oceans, right?" ”
"Honey, where are we going to eat?" In the east wing, Sava in a milky white gauze skirt with a beautiful surname appeared at the door.
Li Plucking was immediately stunned, his little eyes staring at the snow-white crystal long legs under the shawa gauze skirt, the silver high heels, and the purple bewitching toes.
Ye Zhao smiled: "Someone went to buy it, let's go back to the room and rest for a while." "Turn around and go back to the room with Sarah.
Li Plucking's heart was pounding, and he wanted to take another look at this blue-eyed and soul-stunning foreign stunner, but he felt breathless, so he hurriedly smiled at Ye Zhao's back and said, "This master, you go slowly." "After a while, the face will change, and it will change a few times, which is more powerful than the face change of the Sichuan drama.
Back in the room, Sava took out her dresses from the suitcase and happily put them in the closet one by one, obviously living together with Ye Zhao like a young couple, she couldn't be happy.
There was also a stack of books in the suitcase, Ye Zhao picked up one and rolled it a few times, all of them were the laws and regulations of the Southern Dynasty, including the laws of the Great Qing Dynasty, although basically the laws of the Southern Dynasty had basically ignored the laws of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Ye Zhao smiled: "Can you recognize these words?" ”
Sava Meizizi sat down beside Ye Zhao and said, "I can't write, and I can't recognize many words, but I know what it means when the context is connected." ”
Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "Take your time." ”
As he was talking, he heard a voice outside: "Is anyone there?" Is it a new husband and wife? ”
Ye Zhao opened the door and went out to look, but it was the big brother Wei, who looked at Ye Zhao and was stunned, and said, "Sir, I see that you are familiar, it seems that you have seen it somewhere?" ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "Yes, I am a friend of Miss Zhu." ”
Brother Wei immediately patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my surname, I'm confused, you just came here a few days ago, you, your surname?" ”
"Don't have your surname Ye." Ye Zhao arched his hand as he spoke: "Mr. Wei, hello, please take care of your neighbors in the future." ”
Brother Wei smiled affectionately and said: "Mr. Ye, if there is anything in the future, you will squeak, and ask me to say that I can build a boat in a hundred years, and I can live in the same house for a thousand years, we all live in a courtyard, even if it is a family, by the way, you move to a new house, there is a rule in our courtyard, the big guys will get together and celebrate, there are a lot of people who have moved in these days, we have all gathered, you are the last one, we have to help you celebrate and celebrate, so that you are happy." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "You're welcome. ”
"Yes, yes!" Brother Wei didn't allow Ye Zhao to argue, and said, "Mr. Ye wants to see outside, don't you treat me as a friend?" "He's a very hospitable man.
Ye Zhao had no choice but to say, "Then trouble Mr." ”
"It's okay, you rest! I'm taking a nap and I'm going to see the sale. Brother Wei happily returned to the room, he and Li Plucked their hair next to each other, they were very small rooms, about the same size as the university dormitory in later generations, wooden beds, simple furniture, and almost impossible to take a step in the room.
Ye Zhao's two entourages also lived in one room, in addition to two tenants pretending to be members of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and then there was the wing room next to the big house where Ye Zhao lived, as if Zhu Sisi had already rented it, this was the situation of the tenants of the entire small courtyard.
Chang Sui sent a food box to keep warm stir-fry and rice, plus two bowls of mushroom soup, Shawa is Ye Zhao eats whatever she eats, and when she sees Ye Zhao drinking the soup first, she follows the soup in small sips.
The clear soup smoothed the stomach, and opened the food box, but it was full of meat and vegetables, garlic and white meat, spicy chicken, fried shrimp, ground three fresh, bitter gourd and white fungus, Ye Zhao smiled: "Eat greasy today to replenish your strength." Saying that, he sandwiched a petal of white meat and put it into the bowl of Shawa, and Shawa nodded happily: "Well, I'm hungry, Ye, don't ** at night, okay?" I came by steamer, walked for days, and died of exhaustion. ”
Listening to this blonde and blue-eyed beautiful woman discussing with herself in blunt Chinese whether to ** at night, Ye Zhao laughed, ** This word was also learned by Sava from him.
"Well, you have a good rest at night, and you will have a holiday for the past few days." Ye Zhao smiled and took a small bite of rice.
Sava seemed to be really hungry, gobbling up the fried rice, and asked, "Do you have to buy rice every day?" Sweetheart, do you drink it if I make coffee? Also, I can cook too. ”
Ye Zhao smiled dumbly: "When will you cook?" But you can't cook here, you can bring that guy in Guangzhou, when did I not like the coffee you brewed? "There is a kitchen in the courtyard, and there is also a stove next to the willow tree in the patio, which is shared by the tenants of the whole courtyard.
Sava nodded happily and said, "Okay." And he said, "I can fry meat and omelette, and I can make cheese." ”
Ye Zhao said: "Another day, I want to think about it another day." ”
After talking and laughing, the entourage came in and cleaned up the dishes, Sava stretched a little lazy, she was tired, Ye Zhao smiled and told her to go to bed, and he took the book she brought to look through, pondering some legal provisions, unconsciously, a ray of sunset shone obliquely, fell on the bookcase, took out the pocket watch and looked at it, it was more than six o'clock.
"Is Mr. Ye here?" Brother Wei's voice came from outside the room again, Ye Zhao answered, went to open the door, Brother Wei stood in front of the door, and said with a bold smile: "I told a few families, everyone got together, I will go to buy vegetables, and then ask my mother-in-law to sell skills, let's have a few cups in the evening to celebrate your housewarming." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "Then thank you Mr. Wei and the big partner." Mr. Wei shook his hand and left the hospital.
Ye Zhao was about to go back to the room, but Li Plucking didn't know where it came from, and said with a smile: "Master, ask you something?" ”
Ye Zhao nodded.
Li Plucking Mao pointed to the hut where the guards lived and asked, "Master, are those old people your subordinates?" ”
Ye Zhao smiled, it seemed that he had been staring at his room for half a day, and nodded again.
Li Plucked his hair and smiled: "Master, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much, but I'm just a mouthful, I can't hold back, if you want to say that the master is alone, that's nothing, but with Madame, why do you have to use a grandmother?" It's always inconvenient for a big man to go in and out of your room, don't you say that's the reason? ”
Ye Zhao really thought about it, and was ready to transfer the female guard over, but he always felt that it was not such a thing, and it seemed that he couldn't arrange accommodation. Glancing at Li Plucking, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "What Mr. Li wants to say, just say it." ”
"Yes, yes, I think my master is also a happy person, so let's do it, my head of the house, my hands and feet are diligent, and I am idle at home, or, help my master pick up and do some chores? Don't look at her like that, but it's a yellow flag, you know it? Dedicated to serving the emperor, lord, you see how noble you are, don't you? ”
Li plucked the hair recently in a tight hand, the silver is almost spent, and I didn't find the wronged head, seeing that there is a God of Wealth in the courtyard, naturally I am interested, if I want to lie to this master I don't know why I have a little weak heart, usually those ghost ideas don't dare to put on this master, as if intuition, put on the set to make a big deal, but the goose has been plucked, how to rub some oil, isn't it?
The yellow-faced woman eats rice for nothing every day, if it weren't for the fact that she sometimes needs her wife to be by her side, she would have kicked it out a long time ago, and now she can use it to earn some rice money.
Ye Zhaozi also knew that Li Plucking's wife, Chen, was a yellow flag, but Sister-in-law Chen was an honest person, and it was hard to marry such a husband.
After pondering for a while, Ye Zhao said: "Okay, I really don't have such a person, but in other words, my hands and feet are diligent, and I have to do chores, one silver dollar a month, do you think it's okay?" ”
Li Plucking Mao was overjoyed, a silver dollar, went to the rent, and it was enough for half a month's coarse rice, and went to call Sister-in-law Chen over to see Mr. Ye.
Sister-in-law Chen is in her thirties, and she seems to be an honest woman, and she doesn't say anything, she keeps saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you, Mrs." She had never earned silver in her life, and when she heard that there was silver to take, her dull eyes became energetic for the first time, and she nodded vigorously listening to Ye Zhao's instructions.
