At the fourth watch of the next day, Xiao Kite faintly heard a rooster crying, and several echoed each other from afar, and the cool air in the room was like water on her arms, and she shrank into the quilt and hugged Sister Rong, who was warm and welcoming, although she woke up, she didn't remember.

The officials want to go to the morning court, from time to time there are horses' hooves or crunch sedan chair passing by, and gradually hear the sound of washing clothes and rushing water, the voice of people began to boil, she sat up and put on her shoes, pushed open the window, only to find that this is a two-story house facing the street, leaning over and looking, it is the morning market, most of the shops are still closed, the signboard eighteen fresh fish shops open the door, release five or six shallow buckets, the fat live fish crackle and twist the body and swing the tail, splashing on the ground are all water stains; There were three or five people standing in front of the meat shop sharpening knives, and half a piece of pig was spread on the case before it was slaughtered, red, white and white, and the bone foam and blood had not yet been removed. Along the street are many villagers outside the city, carrying home-grown vegetables and fruits for sale, and home-raised chickens, ducks, geese, and goose wings, legs and feet tied with ropes, waiting to be sold at a price.

"Sister ......" Sister Rong sat up, rubbing her eyes and crying.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly returned to the bed to dress her, and after washing each other, they came downstairs, it was a hall, with a table of eight immortals and a few chairs, and Zhao Bocha bought breakfast and came in.

Xiao Yuan asked Sister Rong to call her brother, and while taking out the silver money to him, she asked: "I will spend the night last night, I got upstairs and downstairs in the morning, there is a lot of dust, I need to hire a cleaning mother-in-law to do it temporarily, I don't know where to find it?" ”

Uncle Zhao looked at her and smiled very politely, and said with a smile: "There is a Yalang at this street who specializes in introducing helpers from all walks of life, but you only use it for a short time, and you have to give a poor referral fee, it is better to ask this neighbor and neighbor, there must be someone who is willing, and the money is not high." ”

Xiao Yuan felt that it made sense, and after eating, she went to open the box and take out all kinds of groceries and cakes and candy brought from the south, and it was very heavy to make a difference, so she handed it over to Uncle Zhao, and Sister Rong also carried a small bamboo basket and put less fragrant candy, and the three of them went out to visit the neighbors, and Xiao Yun went back to the room to study.

The neighbors and neighbors all opened shops and other businesses to do business, and when they saw the three of her coming to give a meeting gift, they greeted each other with a smile, looking at Xiao Kite's charming style, and Sister Rong's pink carving, so she asked about the origin, Xiao Yuan did not hide it, and simply said that she accompanied her brother to Beijing to take the exam and met Mrs. Xing to get her help. Mrs. Zhang from the incense candle paper horse shop asked, "Do you want to hire a helper to clean the kitchen?" ”

Xiao Yuan smiled back: "I don't have much money on hand, I just plan to ask someone to help me get rid of the dust for two days." ”

Zhang Po clapped her hands and said: "It's a coincidence, my daughter-in-law was doing rough work in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, how do you think something happened in the house, she was dismissed and returned home, and now she is waiting for Yalang to be introduced, she is quick and diligent, not to mention two days, until the work is done cleanly, the neighbors and neighbors don't charge you money, and you don't want to go, so you will give two pennies to buy tea to eat." ”

Xiao Yuan was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked her, and gave Sister Rong a look, Sister Rong grabbed a handful of candy from the bamboo basket and gave it to her, and Mrs. Zhang took it with a smile.

After walking around, the basket was empty, and they only returned to the room when they heard someone knocking on the door, and Zhao Bo brought in it was Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law, Sun, who looked very honest, and didn't say much, so she went to pick up water and take a cloth to wipe it off.

Xiao Kite was not idle, taking advantage of the noon sun, dismantling the bedding and the jackets, cotton pants and other clothes brought in the cage, washing and washing, and drying them, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

Sister Rong couldn't pester Sister A, and her brother couldn't be disturbed from studying, so she played with Uncle Zhao, and she was fine.

This is exactly what it is: the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
