Chapter 234: Zhuangzi
Mrs. He also asked He Shanshan to choose five hairpins, two pairs of bracelets, twelve rings, six jade pendants and three pieces of jade that could be used as seals, as well as five or six jade ornaments.
"You don't have to buy so much, do you? That's a bit too much. He Shanshan looked at the twenty or thirty boxes and frowned at Mrs. He.
Mrs. He took He Shanshan's hand and said, "It's not a little more defenseless, and it's good if you don't wear it and give it away." ”
Mrs. He paid the money and asked the two maids around her and He Shanshan's two maids to count the many boxes and send them to the carriage.
Mrs. He took He Shanshan to two silk shops, bought a few brocades with bright colors, and then went home.
Ruoxue's carriage entered a Zhuangzi named Beihe and stopped in front of a large courtyard.
Ruoxue came to this Zhuangzi, which was built on the mountain, with a population of more than 500, and relied on breeding chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and forests for its business.
Since last year, Deng Hu has been making Ruohong's building blocks and checkers here.
Under an old Tsubaki tree outside the gate of the compound, there were several girls of six or seven years old, with two little boys grabbing stones and playing there, and there was a stupid dog with black and white flowers lying on the side.
When he saw the carriage enter the village, the stupid dog jumped up and barked at the carriage, and the children stopped playing, and stood there watching from a distance, and saw the coachman stop the carriage, and several richly dressed women and children got out of the carriage, and they did not know who came.
Mi Pearl and Gong Yue got out of the carriage first, and then hugged Ruolan down, and then helped Ruoxue Ruohong down.
Ruoxue stood on the ground and turned to look at the mountain behind Zhuangzi, the mountain was already green, but it was not all stained, and there were many dead trees and stumps in between.
The smoke of the nearby houses, the barking of chickens and dogs, are all so vibrant.
Standing here, there is a local atmosphere lingering around, which makes people's mood smoother.
Ruolan saw six or seven children playing at the gate from a distance, and at this time she saw those children looking at them curiously, and a flower dog barking at her, she was a little scared and hid behind Ruohong, only poking out half of her little head to look at each other.
Ruohong took Ruolan's hand, "Don't be afraid, if you are afraid of them, they will also be afraid of you!" She said.
"Will they be afraid of me, too?"
"Yes, as long as it's unfamiliar, you'll be scared because of the unfamiliar. Let's go over and see what they play. ”
Ruohong pulled Ruolan and walked slowly towards a few children, "What are you playing?" She said.
Mi Pearl and Gong Yue were in front of Ruoxue and the others, and said to the children: "Go and tell you Zhuangtou, and say that the eldest lady is here." ”
An older girl turned around and ran into the yard, and when she entered, she shouted, "Brother Huzi, Brother Huzi, the eldest lady is here." ”
Another girl hugged the dog's head and threatened, "Don't bark, that's the eldest lady, and if you bark again, they will kill you and eat meat." ”
Although she didn't know who the eldest lady was, she also knew that she was a noble person they couldn't mess with, and once she provoked her, she would not end well.
The stupid dog seemed to understand her words, closed his mouth and stopped barking, and slowly sat down beside the girl.
Ruoxue and Ruohong walked closer and didn't see any gadgets on the ground to play with.
Ruolan was still hiding behind Ruohong, and when she got closer to the stupid dog, she became more and more afraid.
Ruohong didn't see what they were playing, and became more and more curious about what they were doing here. So he asked, "What were you just playing?" ”
The girl looked at the beautiful woman in the gorgeous dress in front of her, and for no reason she wanted to go up and get close, as if she could become beautiful in that way, she stretched out her hand and said, "This, we were playing with this just now." ”
Ruoxue and Ruohong looked at her hand, and Ruolan also walked out from behind Ruohong to look, "It turned out to be a small stone, how to play with this?" She said.
The girl squatted down, threw the stone on the ground, picked up a stone and threw it high, turned over and quickly grabbed a small stone on the ground, and then caught the falling, and said, "That's how it plays." ”
Several other children also crouched nearby, eager to show off their skills.
Ruohong smiled, it turned out to be catching stones, she also played when she was a child, but she forgot it for a long time, but now that she sees it, it arouses her playfulness.
Ruohong squatted down and said, "Can you let me play?" ”
Ruolan looked at her sister and then at the dog, but she still didn't dare to come over, but reached out to Ruohong.
The girl blinked her big clear eyes twice and said, "You can play." ”
Mi Pearl and Yuzuki watched the earth dog warily, ready to kick it to the courtyard wall at any moment.
The earth dog also looked at Mi Pearl and Gong Yue with vigilant eyes, feeling that these two people had ulterior motives for it.
Ruoxue could only smile helplessly when she saw such Ruohong, this sister was too playful.
Deng Hu heard the shouting and said that the eldest lady was coming, and he quickly turned around and came out of the workshop, "Where is it?" ”
"Right at the gate."
Deng Hu strode out with the girl, and when he saw Ruoxue hurriedly bowing and saluting, he shouted "Miss".
He didn't know why the eldest lady suddenly came to Zhuangzi, and after thinking about the things that the eldest lady handed over to him, it was not time for the delivery to be reported, could it be that the eldest lady thought he was procrastinating, and came to Zhuangzi to punish him, no, it was not necessary to punish him in Zhuangzi!
Ruoxue gave a gentle "um", and didn't mean to talk to him, but watched Ruohong play with the small stone twice.
Ruohong handed the stone to a child, stood up and pulled Ruolan to the side, took two steps aside, looked at Deng Hu and said, "My sister and I came over to see how the scooter is doing." ”
When Deng Hu heard this, he knew that he was not here to punish him, so he calmed down and said, "If you return to the third lady, you have already made four cars, but they haven't been painted yet, so they haven't been sent to the house." ”
"Take us to see it." Ruoxue said.
Deng Hu went to the courtyard to let Ruoxue a few people, but his eyes looked at the carriage, there was no escort there except for the coachman, and the eldest lady did not bring the guards out, this is a private visit to Weifu, right? !
When a few children saw Ruoxue and the others leaving, they suddenly felt that catching stones was not as fun as before, and they all stood up one after another, looked at the open door for a while, spread their legs and ran in.
After entering the courtyard, Deng Hu took the key and went to open the door of the room on the left.
This yard is large, there are no trees and flowers, there are a lot of logs piled here, there are houses on three sides of the yard, only the two houses on the left are locked, and the other eight houses have craftsmen working hard.
Ruohong walked to the door of the house and saw what the people in the house were doing. Ruoxue also walked over and looked at it from room to room.
Ps:
It's so cold! It's only ten degrees in the house, and I really don't want to move, I just want to hibernate ......
