Chapter 56: The House
Wang Yuanwai took us to his old house, and it happened that someone was carrying things at the door, except for leaving some beds and tables, and I let them take them if I could.
This house is in the depths of the alley, remote and secluded, out of the alley is the market, also convenient, there is a big yard in the house, so deep in my heart, I even want to buy it. But I don't know how long I'll be able to stay here.
Mo Xi also liked it tightly, so he signed a contract with Wang Yuanwai, and quickly accepted the key and paid the money.
The man was very happy to see me so happy, and lent me two slaves, saying that I would definitely go to buy things later, and let them help me carry things, and I accepted them generously.
Lao Zhao saw that everything was almost done here, so he quit my job and prepared to return home.
Send the two away, I took Moxi out to buy, bedding, tea sets, kitchen things, all need to be repurchased, I have always been not very good at bargaining, most of the time I pretend to be dumb, so I watched Moxi buy things, bargaining with others, and I, just need to pay the bill.
He sent two servants to bring all the things he had bought into the house, and then sent them away.
In this unfamiliar place, I really don't worry about outsiders staying too long, just now I secretly bought a new lock and replaced the door, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable, so I am also prepared.
Mo Xi laid out the futon and tidied up, and went to boil water to wash the tea set and the kitchen, fortunately, the firewood had been chopped, and a stack of piles was piled up in the corner, I took the fire fold and lit it for a long time, Mo Xi blasted me out of the kitchen, saying let me sweep the yard.
Standing in the yard with a broomstick, I was satisfied, and at this moment, I also had my own house.
Sunset, the two of us had a busy day, the hard work was not in vain, the whole yard was renewed, Moxi served the last plate of braised pork, I took it out of the baggage, the green nightmare sent by the proprietress.
Fill her up, look at the table in front of her, and say, "It's hard work, why don't you teach me to cook tomorrow?" ”
I took a piece of tofu and stuffed it into my mouth, it was smooth and fragrant, and I couldn't tell that Xiao Nizi still had this skill.
"Don't, don't, don't, if the kitchen burns down, we'll have to drink the northwest wind." When she heard me say this, she hurriedly waved her hands and joked.
"Uh...... Don't look down on people, I have made hot pot anyway. He glared at her, and devoured it, he was really hungry, he had never been so tired, he had not stopped all day, and he really wanted to eat and soak his feet and go to bed quickly.
She kept picking up vegetables for me, and kept thinking in pieces, "The master's hands should be used to stroke the piano and write, and I can do these rough jobs." ”
"You call me master again!" The rice was still wrapped in his mouth, and his words were vague and a little unpleasant.
"In my heart, the master will always be the master." After that, he handed me a glass of wine, and his tone was light, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
I took it and poured it into my throat, tsk, the pain is unspeakable. The bitter taste of this proprietress is really unique, such a bitter wine, where is it delicious.
The bitterness in my mouth subsided before I said, "I will go out tomorrow to buy a maid and come back, so that you can also be the master." ”
"No need, I'm enough." She didn't drink it, but she filled it up for me, and most of the rice bowls were vegetarians.
"It's not enough, I said that I will treat you as a family, and you are not allowed to depreciate your identity." Indignantly sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork and put them in her bowl, "You give me more to eat!" ”
She didn't defend anymore, just smiled and said okay.
I knew that her opinion would not change, but listening to her words made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you going to see the lantern festival later?" She lowered her head and didn't say a word, and the table was much colder.
Hearing me say this, Mo Xi suddenly raised his head, "Hey? Lantern festival? ”
"Yes, the Lantern Festival, it seems to be a festival in Qingzhou, just now when you went to choose the futon, I heard the shopkeeper talk with his own guy, saying that he would close early today and go to the Lantern Festival. Going? I raised my hand and poured the nightmare into my mouth again.
This wine, the first sip was bitter, but then it returned to Ganshengjin, and for a long time the mouth was filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and it was really a good wine.
"Can I go?" Her eyes lit up when she heard me say that.
I knew that Mo Xi, this girl, likes to join in the fun, and on the way out, although she is more stable than Bai Zhi, but the idea of joining in the fun really can't hide from me, and the two of them often run out while I am napping and think I don't know.
Seeing her like this, I also smiled and said, "That's natural, eat quickly, let's go after eating." ”
"Okay." Seeing that I agreed, she didn't chew as slowly as she did just now, and she almost choked as she gulped down.
I handed her a cup of green nightmare, she only tasted it and frowned, ran to the side hall and poured a cup of tea and brought it over, still muttering in her mouth, "Bitter, bitter than bitter gourd, I don't know how you drank it." ”
I gave her a look you didn't understand, and went on to think about herself.
After eating, Mo Xi hurriedly went to clean the dishes and chopsticks, and ran to me happily, and said tentatively, "I have already washed the dishes and chopsticks." ”
"Yes." I looked at the book in my hand without looking up.
"The kitchen is cleaned up, too."
"Yes."
"That...... The yard was also cleaned. ”
"Yes."
“......”
"Is there anything else?" I looked up and asked her.
Mo Xi's face was unpredictable, and he looked at me a little blankly, and said, "No... It's not that ...... It's okay. The tone was full of loss, and the eyes lost their luster.
"Oh, then you go change your clothes, let's go out."
"Huh?"
She looked at me in astonishment, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she hurriedly asked, "Isn't it possible that you want to wear a smoky dress to put the river lantern?" ”
"No, hehe, I'll go." She laughed, the corners of her eyes curved like the bright moon in the sky, sweet to people's hearts.
I turned around and ran into the wing room to change clothes, I looked at the rag she spread out in front of me, and wondered if I should really find a few slaves, relying on her to work alone, we two weak women, I am afraid that something is wrong after all.
In the past, Lao Zhao was with us, but now there are only two of us left, if something really happens, it really can't be imagined.
