Chapter 65: To the Silver Building
There are not many students enrolled in each class, and many of them do not live in the college, so the accommodation rooms are quite spacious, and all the rooms are two-person rooms.
Xu Xi entered the door and found that this room was facing south because it was sitting on the north side, and the sun was very abundant. The room is very large, 30 to 40 square meters, with two beds against the wall on both sides, and a wardrobe in the middle, becoming two independent spaces. In addition to a wardrobe, there is a desk and a bookshelf per person.
In addition, there are several chairs and a table of eight immortals in the common area, and there is also a teapot and a few cups on the table, and I want to come here to be a place to entertain.
The whole house is kept clean and tidy; The furniture is all wood-colored, and the sheets and duvet covers are all cyan - yes, the bedding does not have to be picked up by yourself, but is directly spread on the bed in the dormitory.
Seeing this modern dormitory, Xu Xi almost burst into tears.
Damn, she misses her well-decorated two-bedroom apartment. Although it is a snail dwelling, the comfort of life is not comparable to that of ancient houses.
"From the cloister to the left and to the end, there is the latrine; There is a shower next to the latrine. The dining hall is out of this courtyard, and you can see it a few steps to the east. After Shi Mo finished introducing, he said to Xu Xi with a smile, "Then you can clean up and say hello to us when you leave the academy." As he spoke, he nodded at Xu Xue and prepared to leave.
Xu Xi hurriedly handed over the burden he was carrying: "This is a box of snacks, my sister will take it and taste it." If you recognize me as a sister, my sister should not be polite to me. In the future, I have to ask my sister to take care of it more. ”
"It's inconvenient, it's not good for people to see." Shimo excused himself.
"Didn't you just say that there is also a place for you to rest in the academy? You take it to your room and put it away, and you have to eat it when you're free. Don't worry, it's only done in the morning, it's fresh, and it won't be bad for half a day. ”
Shi Mo hesitated for a moment, then took it, and his smile became more and more sincere: "Then I'm welcome." ”
Sending away the waiter, Xu Xi looked around the dormitory, took out a red embroidered handkerchief from his arms, put it on the bed, and pressed it with a pillow, revealing a bright corner.
She stood up, "Let's go, let's go out." I guess your father and mother are also waiting at the door. ”
Xu Xue was taken aback: "Wait for us?" When did they say that? ”
"Just now I stuffed a note for your mother and told her to pick us up after a meal."
When the two went out, they saw that Xie was already standing at the door waiting, smiling and talking to the mother-in-law guarding the door. Xu Xi said hello to Mrs. Chen, and hurriedly pulled Xu Xue over.
"Mother." Xu Xue ran over and grabbed Xie's arm.
Xie Shi was afraid that Xu Xi would think too much, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy some necessary things." With that, she thanked the mother-in-law guarding the door, pulled the two out, and joined Xu Yongyi, who was waiting not far away.
"Uncle, you can call a mule cart for me, if you have something, go and get busy." Xu Xi said to Xu Yongyi, turned his head and looked at Xie again, "Auntie, you accompany me to the Silver Building." ”
Xu Xue's eyes lit up and asked Xu Xi: "Are you going to sell the jewelry you painted that day?" ”
"Yes." Xu Xichao smiled at Xu Yongyi and Xie Shi, who were puzzled, "Uncle, aunt, I'll explain this to you when I get home." ”
Xu Yongyi beckoned to the mule cart waiting for customers at the corner of the street, and said, "I don't worry about your mother and son, I'll go with you." He asked Xu Xi again, "Did you go to the Changming Pavilion that day?" ”
"No, go to the largest Yulon Pavilion in the county." Xu Xidao.
The four of them got into the mule cart, and Xu Yongyi and Xie asked about what Xu Xi wanted to sell. When they knew that Xu Xi had drawn a picture of the appearance of jewelry and wanted to sell it for money, the couple glanced at each other and fell silent.
After a while, Xu Yongyi said, "Xi...... Hee girl. ”
Xu Xi interrupted him: "Let's call me Xiaoxi." ”
In modern times, classmates and friends call her that. After coming to ancient times, I heard Xu Yongyi and his wife call her Sister Xi'er, she was really not used to it, but it was not easy to say anything. Now if you want to change your words, it is better to change it to this.
Seeing Xu Yongyi's hesitation, she said: "No matter what, I am the adopted daughter of the Xu family." You are my elders, shouldn't you call me Xiaoxi? ”
Xu Yongyi was very happy that even if she changed her identity, she was still close to her family, so she said kindly: "Okay, in front of future generations, we will call you Miss Xi, and after people, we will call you Xiaoxi." ”
Seeing that Xu Xi had no opinion, he said again: "You are going to enter the silver building in a while, and you are wearing such clothes, and you don't have one or two people around you, which is not like it at all." It's better to ask your aunt to pretend to be a mother-in-law, and Xiaoxue to pretend to be a maid, and I will be a coachman waiting for you at the door. What do you think? ”
Xu Xilai studied at the Women's Academy, representing the face of the Hou Mansion. Before she went out today, the old lady also specially checked her dress. Although she didn't dress up fancy today, she also put on the most valuable hairpins, earrings, and bracelets; The clothes are also the best set made by the embroidery lady of Houfu, and the embroidery on the dress can be worth more than a dozen taels of silver when it is removed and sold alone.
Anyway, Xu Xi's outfit, at a glance, he knew that she was a daughter from a wealthy family.
Xu Xi knew that no matter what era, people would "respect clothes first and then respect people", so he didn't specifically ask to dress shabby. Not only does she have to live in a better dormitory with this dress, but she also looks forward to relying on it to support her face for a while, so that she can earn her first pot of gold.
Xu Xue also wore a new dress today, but the conditions of the Xu family were just like that, Xie gritted his teeth and made two satin clothes for her, but the fabric was naturally far worse than Xu Xi's, and those who knew how could see the difference between the two clothes at a glance. In addition, the most valuable thing on her body is a silver hairpin and a pair of jade bracelets that are not very good for Xie's marriage, and the jewelry on Xu Xi's body is not at the same level at all.
Xu Yongyi and Xie specially came to send their daughter and Xu Xi to school, although they wore the best clothes, but the materials were fine noodles, and they were not old. Xie didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on him.
Therefore, when the four of them go to that station, it is not like a family, but the proper relationship between master and servant.
Xu Xue looked at her and Xu Xi's dresses, and nodded hurriedly.
Xie said: "You want to sell that picture, I don't know much." But if you want to say that I am your aunt and Xiaoxue is your sister, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will think that you went somewhere to steal the clothes and come to deceive people. ”
When Xu Xue heard this, she laughed out loud, and nodded heartlessly: "Yes, yes, what my mother said is too right." I want to laugh when I think about it. ”
Xu Xi has this intention, but he can't say it himself, otherwise he will make the Xu family sad. She was going to arrive at the door of the silver building, but she only asked Xu Xue to accompany her in, and the Xu family and his wife were waiting at the door.
