In the autumn of the thirty-second year of Tiansheng, Bianliang, Kyoto, the coffin shop in the north of the city.

Listening to the rooster next door has crowed twice, Wen Shu sat up from the bed helplessly, at this time it was getting dark outside, but the room was still dark, took the gray-brown short sleeve at the head of the bed, she got out of bed and put on her shoes, walked to the dresser, yawned and pulled her waist-length hair with bamboo chopsticks on the top of her head.

After roughly tidying up, she opened the door, and a cold air poured in, which cleared her mind, which was originally a little confused.

At this time, the autumnal equinox has passed, and the weather is getting colder.

The mottled bluestone slabs in the courtyard were still covered with a thick layer of silver frost, Wen Shu gathered his clothes and shrunk his neck and walked to the well in the courtyard, fetched a bucket of water from the well and carried it to the eaves of the kitchen, and took the toothbrush he had just bought from the windowsill, dipped it in some tooth powder, and stood under the eaves and began to pick up his teeth.

Well water has a benefit that cannot be compared with lake water, that is, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. At this time, the lake water outside is already cold and biting, but the water in this well is lukewarm, and you can wash well without mixing hot water, which really saves a lot of charcoal.

"Grunt, grunt."

Rinsing off the salty tooth powder in his mouth with water, Wen Shu pondered whether to make tung skin noodles or steamed trowels for breakfast later?

But before she could figure it out, she heard the door behind her squeak, and when she looked back, she saw that her father had already gotten up, and was standing at the door with his clothes on, frowning at her.

"Morning, Dad......" Wen Shu said hello with a little weakness.

Father Wen glanced at her up and down, frowned, and said, "Where are you going to dress like this?" ”

At this time, she was wearing a gray-brown short shirt on her upper body, and her lower body was wearing pants with narrow legs, her hair was hastily tied in a bun on the top of her head, and she simply inserted bamboo chopsticks, dressed as a child.

Daddy Wen is not confused when he is over the age, he has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, big and slightly convex eyes, and his overall physiognomy looks a little fierce, especially when he is frowning at this time, people who are not familiar with him must think that he is a thief who kills people and oversells goods.

But Wen Shu was not afraid of him at all, and when he saw him frowning, he just sneered and said, "That..... Qianmen Street, Wang Yushi's family in Yuansong Lane held a full moon banquet, and invited people from the four divisions and six bureaus. ”

Hearing this, Father Wen raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Nonsense! How can this kind of thing be done at will, you just help Ling Ya work on weekdays, in the end, it is the same woman. But Huzi is working in the Accounts Division, and all the people who come in and out there are men, and they are all doing some work of moving and lifting, you are a girl's family....."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Shu had already shouted, "What's wrong with the girl's family, your daughter's strength is not inferior to that of a man, those jobs are very easy for me." ”

Seeing her like this, Daddy Wen really hated iron and steel, "Look at you proudly, what a good thing is that you say that the girl's family is strong, if it weren't for the cover you didn't understand since you were a child, you should have married out at this age, and it wouldn't be like now, but you don't even have a reliable person to propose marriage when you reach the marriageable age, and it's not your own." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Shu was very unconvinced, "What, it's obvious that they are useless, and they blame me." She turned and hung the veil back on the wooden shelf beside her, muttering quietly.

Father Wen sighed helplessly: "You, you are like this, I can't rest assured that I close my eyes any day." ”

"Bah, what is my father talking nonsense early in the morning, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, and you will definitely live a long life, this kind of unlucky words should be thrown away quickly."

Father Wen stared at her for a while, so long that Wen Shu's face was about to stiffen with a smile, before he saw him speak, "Only this once, not for example." With that, he turned and went back to his room.

Wen Shu heard this, as if he had been pardoned, he responded happily, and hurriedly poured out the water in the basin and ran to the kitchen, but he turned back halfway through, and asked, "Dad, what do you want to eat in the morning, tung skin noodles or steamed trowels?" ”

At this time, Father Wen was getting dressed by the bed, and when he heard the words, he only said: "You look at it, just remember to dress up before going out, don't let people see it." ”

"Hey, got it." Wen Shu answered, took three steps and made two steps into the kitchen.

In the west corner of the kitchen were two small pumpkins the size of a palm, and she took one and put it on the stove, cut it in half with a brightly sharpened knife, peeled it again, and cut it into small pieces.

Scooped a small half bowl of white rice and a small half bowl of corn (millet) from the rice bowl and washed them, then put them in a pot and boiled with water, and then scooped a spoonful of wheat noodles and kneaded evenly.

Two quarters of an hour later, a bowl of Nanclaw porridge, six vermicelli trowels, and two plates of pickles were brought to the wooden table in the courtyard.

At this time, the sun had come out, and it was hanging diagonally in the east, and the street in front of it began to be lively, and the cries of hawkers were faintly heard.

Wen Shu put the dishes and chopsticks in place and served a bowl of porridge to her father, and was just about to beckon him to eat at the front of the shop, when she heard the familiar sound of selling outside the door.

"Selling bread...... Vegetable cakes, meat cakes, hibiscus cakes"

"Steamed bread, vegetarian steamed bread, steamed steamed bread, sugar meat steamed bread....."

Wen Shu glanced at the tabletop, and saw that her father had not returned in front of him, so he thought about it and took out a few coppers from his sleeve, opened the side door of the courtyard, and probed outward: "Brother Zhang, come with two cooked meatloaf." ”

"Okay" The vendor surnamed Zhang immediately ran over when he heard the sound, skillfully wrapped two cooked meatloaf in oiled paper and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Cheng Hui four cents." ”

"Whoa." Wen Shu took out the copper he had prepared long ago and handed it to him.

The peddler took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, little lady." ”

After buying the cakes, Wen Shu turned around and closed the door, and saw her father coming to the backyard, so she hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Dad, come on, the Zhangjia meatloaf I just bought is still hot." ”

Wentai glanced at the table and saw that there were trowels and porridge on the table, so he said, "You can eat, I'll just eat these." “

"That's what happened." Wen Shu didn't agree, took out a piece of cake and handed it to him: "I bought two, let's one each." ”

Father Wen shook his head and didn't answer, "No, it's all left to you, you still have to eat more if you want to go out to work today, so as not to be hungry and have nowhere to find food." ”

"Dad, don't worry, when we go out to work, the main family will also send food, and we won't be hungry."

Father Wen still shook his head: "Listen to me, this time is not as good as before, even if you eat less, don't argue with others and cause trouble." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he had promised that people would not regret it, Wentai would not have let his daughter do this job.

Seeing that her father's face was not good-looking, Wen Shu knew what he was worried about, so he hurriedly raised his hand to assure, and almost swore to the sky, "Dad, don't worry, I must be cautious and careful, and I won't let people see through it." ”

"I hope so." Wentai shook his head helplessly and sat down at the table.

Wen Shu took advantage of his inattention, and hurriedly tore the meatloaf in his hand into small pieces and threw it into his bowl.

Wentai was about to bow his head and drink the porridge, but he didn't expect her to do this, and when he reacted, there were already a few more meatloaf in the porridge.....

Looking up again, the girl on the side had already sat down across from him, looking at him with a smile at this time, and chewing on the meatloaf in her mouth.

Wentai was helpless, so he had to pick up the cake and take a bite and said, "When I buy vegetables tomorrow, I will go to Zhouji to buy some pork and come back." ”

Wen Shu, who was still chewing the cake in his mouth, his eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said vaguely: "Okay, does that dad want to eat broken meat soup or red crispy pork tomorrow?" ”

"Red crispy pork."

"Cheng, then I'll go to the butcher shop when I come back from work, maybe there are still ones that haven't been sold out today, and they can be cheaper."

"Well, you can do it."

The father and daughter were eating breakfast and chatting about their parents' shortcomings.

After breakfast, after washing the dishes and chopsticks, the sun had already risen to the sky, and seeing that there was still half an hour before the appointed time, Wen Shu hurriedly rushed into the room and poured a smile on the bronze mirror.

First of all, put down the hair that was pulled up at will in the morning and re-comb it, tie it with a cloth towel of the same color, and then use the eyebrow strip to thicken the beautiful eyebrows, so that the eyebrows and eyes look more heroic, and then apply the light gray powder blended with fragrant ink and lead powder on the face, and the fair and translucent skin instantly becomes yellow and dull.

After such a toss of combing, painting and three wipes, the originally beautiful girl immediately became a simple and practical peasant boy.

After doing all this, Wen Shu looked down at the chest that was most likely to expose the gender, and couldn't help but smile proudly, so it's not all good to say that her breasts are small, at least at this time, she doesn't need to wrap her breasts to be real, this has to change Ling'er next door....

Thinking of the handkerchief handed over since childhood, Wen Shu sighed.

After taking a long look in front of the copper realm, I confirmed that except for the ear piercings that could not be completely blocked and could only be slightly covered with lead powder, the rest of the places were impeccable, so I straightened my clothes and went out.
