Chapter 64: Strange
Put away the dishes and prepare the senior happiness for tomorrow, Xiaobai threw her head into the pillow, tired and couldn't move, but no matter how tired she was, she didn't think about going to the Lin family to be a noble second lady.
She has always thought that Lin Wenjuan is the delicate Miss Lin Mansion, spoiled by her father and mother, and loved by her brother, it stands to reason that a girl like her should be able to get the best things in the world, but what about now? Ah Yun is the girl she grew up with! turned out to be Chen Heng's aunt! Fantastic!
Lin Wenjuan loves Chen Heng, and she also cares about Ah Yun, and she cares more about the days of the Chen family, but she didn't expect that during the time when she was angry and didn't accompany Chen Heng, she suffered a double blow, and her unexplained temper was not all because she was pregnant, maybe she didn't know she was pregnant at that time.
Xiao Bai turned over, staring at the top of the bed with his eyes, and felt very disappointed that no one in the Lin Mansion told him about it.
After a quarter of an hour, Xiaobai blew out the candle, closed his tired eyes, and said to himself, "God, please! Tomorrow there will be a heavy rainstorm! Then there will be fewer merchants passing by, and I will be able to lie down a little longer. ”
Maybe God really heard Xiaobai's call, in the middle of the night, it suddenly rained heavily, and the rain gradually became heavier, so that the whole land was presented in the sorrow of the rain, but God did not let Xiaobai be empty, and in the rainstorm, there was a rapid knock on the door, which woke Xiaobai up.
Outside the door was an exhausted, soup-like old couple, if it wasn't for something terrible, no one would show up in the middle of the night to hurry, or in such weather.
Ay! Worry about your life!
"Uncle and aunt, what's the matter, are you still in a hurry in this weather?" Xiaobai served hot tea, lit the lantern in the guest room, and let the old couple who had changed into clean clothes stay.
"Hey, go to Tai'an to go to relatives, who knows that you haven't left Huixian yet, this day has changed." Uncle said.
"Then there's no hurry! Just this rain, tomorrow is enough to stop choking, you can live here in peace, wait for the rain to light up and then leave, don't find your relatives yet, you two elders have fallen again, this is really a disaster. Xiaobai hurriedly comforted, "Is the quilt enough?" I'm afraid it's going to be cooler on a rainy night, so I'll move another bed. ”
"No need, little white girl, we are satisfied with having a place to shelter from the rain, you go and rest, I am sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night, but fortunately there is a place for us to settle down on this road." The eldest lady grabbed Xiaobai's hand, different from the old woman of an ordinary peasant family, and that kind of touch made Xiaobai feel weird.
Xiaobai withdrew his hand at the right time, retreated to the door and said, "Then you can go to bed quickly, I will make breakfast for you tomorrow morning, and you can rest for a while." ”
"Excuse me, little white girl." The eldest lady waved her hand, and Xiaobai closed the door tightly.
After Xiaobai left, the couple, who were still in a state of twilight just now, suddenly straightened up, and a cold chill that only belonged to the night flashed in their eyes.
The man lifted the broken hair from his forehead and said with some reproach, "When did you have the kindness of a woman?" ”
The woman's long silver hair, as if she didn't belong to this face full of years at all, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "It's been there for a long time, but it's all strangled by you, this time, and it's the last time, stop it." She pulled out the hairpin in her hair and held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, her long hair pouring down like moonlight, which dazzled the man's eyes and dimmed the light of the candle flame. It is considered to be an atonement for the sins of this life. ”
"So what are you doing with this?" The mutton fat hosta, the hairpin head has two cherry blossoms with different shapes, the young man knew that he would die, but he still held it in his hand, for fear that he would be snatched away, what was the result, not the same hairpin, and fell down the cliff?
"This look is for women, and the way he looks reminds me of you when you came, the same, stupid."
The man sneered, sat down beside the woman, and whispered, "Let's leave, it's time." ”
The woman smiled, although Shaohua is fleeting, but she can be accompanied by someone who knows her heart, and she has no regrets in life.
Before dawn the next day, Xiaobai lit the stove and boiled a pot of preserved eggs and lean porridge, preserved eggs are her proud work, unless she is welcoming guests, Qingguo can't eat anywhere. The sweet aroma of japonica rice is mixed with the mellow flavor of lean meat and preserved eggs, filling the air with a warm and fragrant aroma. Finally she sprinkled some ginger in it, and the old couple had been drenched in the rain last night, thinking that they must have had some wind chill this morning.
"Tuk-tuk."
The knock on the door not only surprised Xiao Bai a little, but even the old couple upstairs instantly raised their vigilance, Xiao Bai put the porridge that was just about to be sent up on the square table next to the stairs, and complained in a low voice: "What's going on recently?" It's not pure at all. No wonder she was upset, because the merchants in the past knew how to welcome customers, and if Xiaobai didn't open the door in the morning, no one would knock on the door.
"Xiaobai!"
The moment the door opened, a large handful of daisies were stuffed into Xiaobai's arms, and at the beginning of dawn, the first glimmer of sunlight rose from the horizon, shaking Xiaobai's eyes, and the clean and refreshing teenager grinned, and his white teeth shook Xiaobai's eyes.
Yu Ke held Xiaobai's hand and said excitedly, "How are you doing lately?" "He looked tired, he didn't seem to have slept all night, and his eyes were red.
Xiaobai was stunned, withdrew his hand, turned around and inserted the bouquet of flowers into the porcelain vase, and said with a smile: "It's good, why do you have time to come here?" ”
Yu Ke's little servant Liufang nodded at Xiaobai, walked in directly, and put the gift on the counter, the box had its name on it, and you could see at a glance which store it was from.
"Why are you like this!" Xiaobai frowned, "I didn't want to send me a lot of silver tickets for some reason, but now you are sending so many things, what are you going to do?" ”
"Didn't I write to you?" Yu Ke poured himself a glass of water and poured it down, "I'm so thirsty!" Compared with the lifeless look that Xiaobai saw before, Yu Ke is full of vitality now, just like the sunrise, even Xiaobai is infected.
"I look at that Furui Yunzhu Lou is also unlucky, it's just a recipe, and you have cheated so much silver."
"That's not a recipe, it's one of the thousands of possible sauces of the Yu family, they are the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Haixing, do you know how many new dishes the chef there has come up with because of one of your recipes?" Xiaobai raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head, Yu Ke was a little proud, "Now the Yu family sauce is the special sauce shop of Furui Yunzhu Building, the last time it was given to you is less, in the future, I will give you a silver once a month, count your dividends, the most recent one, I personally brought it to you." Yu Ke took out a very small bamboo tube from his arms, walked over, and threw it into Xiaobai's money basket. Don't say don't. ”
Xiaobai frowned and said, "I have a hundred reasons why I can't accept it, you know. ”
Yu Ke smiled: "But I also have a hundred reasons for you to accept, Xiaobai, you are very good to me, I also want to repay you something, but you know, there is only so much I can do." ”
Xiaobai felt that it was useless to say more, and then she could try to return it in a roundabout way, so she said: "Look at your appearance, it seems that you have been on the road all night, what happened?" ”
Yu Ke sighed, his expression sad, but he only pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "You don't need to know this. ”
"Let's have breakfast first." Xiaobai never forced others to say what was in her heart, she put the porridge on the square table in front of Yu Ke, and continued: "I'll come when I go, don't go!" ”
Yu Ke smiled, where can he go now?
