Chapter 225: A Small Town
When the sky was bright, Su Xiangsi ordered Ning Tingting to take the two little maids out to buy fresh vegetables, and there was an expert who could make kimchi, so it couldn't be wasted.
Yesterday, Su Xiangsi bought all the clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache that they bought, and now they are very happy. Early in the morning, I took care of the flowers and plants in the yard before going out.
Su Xiangsi sat cross-legged on the couch by the window, and the small desk was full of information from the three shops. The longer I looked, the deeper my brow furrowed. I knew it was a mess, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Miss, Bai Ruo is here."
Su Xiangsi still lowered her eyes and looked at the news in her hand, and spoke softly. The maid who bought it said very little, and only when she registered the deed of sale did she know that her name was Bai Ruo.
Liu Wu tried to talk to her, wanting to ask where she was, but Bai Ruo just kept her mouth shut, and her temperament was a little lonely.
I rubbed ointment on Bai Ruo yesterday, and it seems that the bruises on my face have disappeared significantly this morning.
"Thank you, Miss Three, for saving your life." Honestly kneeling on the ground, Su Xiangsi heard that there was obvious tremor in her voice. Liu Wu said last night that she had other traces of old injuries on her body.
"Get up, I don't have these gifts in my yard."
Bai Ruo didn't twist and got up and sat on the low chair prepared by Liu Wu on the side, and Rosin Xiang politely handed over tea. Although I had doubts in my heart, I took it and didn't dare to drink it in my hand.
Su Xiangsi drank two sips in a row, and the water used to boil the tea was rosin collected from the bamboo leaves in the morning, and the taste was unique.
Glimpsing that she was still a little restrained, she softened and said: "How do you taste it, if you like it, you can learn from rosin, I am better at this mouthful." ”
"Miss is the master of the slave and maid, and she doesn't dare to cross the rules."
The answer is quite regular.
Su Xiangsi pinched her eyebrows helplessly: "What Jiaofang teaches you are the rules of most people's families, my side is different, and the rules are different from others." ”
Bai Ruo is puzzled, where is the difference?
"After a long time with catkins and rosin, you will get used to the rules of my yard, and I called you here just to tell you. You can do less wrong, but you have to be loyal to me. As for the monthly case, it's the same as Ning Tingting. ”
Bai Ruo thought that Su Xiangsi was going to set some rules for her and let her abide by her duties, but she didn't expect this to be the case. Echoing Su Xiangsi's words a few times, he went out in a daze.
It's as simple as staying in this yard. There was no embarrassment, but the work in the yard was very easy.
Su Xiangsi continued to be busy with the things in hand, and when she heard the sound of the bead curtain colliding, she took the time to raise her eyes and greet her: "Come, sit down first." ”
Nie Yong was not polite, and sat down straight to watch her busy work.
After sorting out all the news in his hand, he looked at Nie Yong, who was quite good at pretending to be old at a young age.
"Are you still used to staying last night?"
"Thank you for the rescue."
Su Xiangsi smiled slightly: "It's fate, the relationship between master and servant is still long." Do you have any habits or monthly requirements? ”
Nie Yong looked at Su Xiangsi with some surprise, how could a master be so accommodating to a servant? It's not all about what the master says.
Move the lip flap: "It's all up to the master's arrangement." ”
"The monthly example will be given according to the rosin, and a good cooking skill cannot be treated in vain. I made kimchi today, and I thought about the taste. ”
Su Xiangsi couldn't help but yawn as she spoke.
Nie Yong was slightly stunned, and he was half a beat slower. That's it?
"Anything else?"
Su Xiangsi was also puzzled, what happened to this child?
"It's okay, the little ones will do it." Nie Yong came out of the room and took a deep breath, always feeling that the air was different today, and his life might also have a huge change.
Turning his head to look deeply at the closed door, the chaotic mind gradually cleared the clouds. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and walked to the backyard, but the master asked for kimchi.
The servants in the pepper room are not allowed to go out without the consent of the young lady, and the wind and rain in the capital are constant, and there is a lot of news that can blow to their ears without going out.
The legendary heroic deeds of the third lady have never been broken, he doesn't like to talk in the pepper room, and he has no friends, but he can still hear about her from the people in the same room.
When I came yesterday, I thought I would be the first to stand up, but I didn't expect that there was everything in the house I lived in. The rules and monthly rules were the most unexpected for him.
"Miss, what's the matter? Been in the mood for so long? At Miss's rate, it won't be long before our yard will be full again. ”
Su Xiangsi smiled slightly, originally planning to buy only a cook. Qing Niang intentionally or unintentionally stopped her from buying Bai Ruo, and her subconscious told her that Bai Ruo would surprise her.
As for whether it was a surprise or a surprise, we will know later.
——
A month-and-a-half-long walk north from the capital will take you to the small city bordering the north of the town. Jing Jiu was dressed in red and had an undisguised handsome face, Li Yan held his sword and followed him with his brows jumping, why did he agree to accompany him to Zhenbei.
It's been five days since they've been out, and they're not halfway there. Minghui's brother is already about to arrive in Zhenbei, and according to Jing Jiu's temperament, I don't know if I can go to Zhenbei at the end of July, sooner or later I will make a mistake.
Jing Jiu's heart is not in a hurry, every time he goes to a place, he has to have a good time, and he is famous for inspecting the terrain and developing the splendid business.
Li Yan was bored and looked around the crowded streets, and the familiar figure was shocked when he came into his eyes.
Didn't the boss go to Weiliang? How could it be here.
Yuan Xia's expression quickly swept over Li Yan and Jing Jiu, and the footsteps disappeared into the end of the street with the people walking.
"Why are you stunned, which little girl do you fall into?"
Jing Jiu walked in front and didn't hear the person behind him respond, turned around and saw that he was slightly distracted, obviously not listening to his words. Raise the folding fan and knock it on his head.
Squinting slightly, the peach blossom eyes looked into the distance, and Yuan Xia's figure was indeed gone.
Li Yan covered his aching forehead and said dissatisfiedly: "No wonder the master said that you are a splasher." ”
Jing Jiu snorted softly, and strode forward with a fan, and his chic appearance caused the women on the street to blush.
"Guest officer, please come in, the most fragrant noodle restaurant in the city." The shopkeeper shouted at the door, waving a handkerchief.
Jing Jiu stood at the door and took a deep breath, the fragrance was really hooking, and his stomach was indeed empty.
"Do you have a room? My son is going to stay here for a few nights. ”
"Yes, yes, please come in the guest officer." The shopkeeper greeted Jing Jiu in with a flattering gesture, although this boy was dressed ordinarily, he had an extraordinary bearing, not a layman.
Li Yan followed behind him with a headache, now it's okay, and he has to delay for a few more days.
Sure enough, it dares to claim to be the best noodle restaurant in the city, and the first and second floors are full. Li Yan and Jing Jiu waited for a tea time before they vacated a table.
Two bowls of hot noodles poured with chili oil were brought to them, and Jing Jiu took a big mouthful of noodles and his eyes lit up: "Not bad, it's delicious." ”
Li Yan rolled his eyes and was depressed: "We are also happy people, so it's a bit embarrassing to not see the world like this." ”
Jing Jiu smacked his lips, reminiscing about the taste in his mouth and shaking his head again and again: "This is not the same, very different." It tastes amazing. ”
Li Yan also took a bite and lowered his voice: "The taste is indeed different from what I have eaten before." ”
The two of them stayed in a noodle restaurant for the time being, and there were only five rooms in the backyard. The moon hung on the branches, and Jing Jiu's room was still lit by candlelight.
The door was pushed open, and Jing Jiu lay on the bed with his legs crossed. Li Yan stood up respectfully.
"Boss."
