Chapter 23: The Old Man's Preference
Mr. Meng's words are the king's law in this family.
This time, when Meng Xi left, Steward He also left with him.
Steward He didn't have much luggage, and when he resigned, he bowed deeply to the old man Meng who had served him for most of his life, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "Old man, in the future, please take care." ”
Old Man Meng was on crutches, still wearing loose and casual loungewear, flat-framed glasses, and a faint chin, and then turned around and returned indoors.
And Meng Xi, as when he came, was alone.
Just looking at the back of the emperor's grandfather, Meng Xi was thoughtful.
This time the car is not as beautiful as the starry night above the head, and the comfort has plummeted a lot, it seems that these cars still have a big level gap.
After driving for an hour and a half, the white car arrived at the residence arranged for them by Mr. Meng.
Steward He looked at this small western-style building and said, "This is your parents' previous house." ”
Meng Xi looked back, "Parents? ”
"Well," Steward He was in a somewhat complicated mood, "although it is not big, but this place has been treasured very well, the old gentleman hurts the most is Er Shao, since he left, the old gentleman has been hit hard, after that, he put this house away, and did not let people go out, I didn't expect him to give this house to you this time......"
When you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the small courtyard.
There are a lot of dead branches and leaves in it, it looks like no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the flower pots have rotted.
Steward He took out the key and opened the door, and a dusty aura that had not been in or out for a long time came to his face.
"Okay, here, it will be our new home from now on," Steward He showed a pleased smile on his face, "Meng Xi, Mr. has given us a new beginning." ”
Meng Xi looked at him, a little puzzled.
But Steward He didn't explain anything, and quickly took Meng Xi to clean it up.
Meng Xi has been with the army since she was a child, and she once ate and lived with tens of thousands of soldiers, and in the barracks, she would not be given much preferential treatment because she was a little girl.
Therefore, Meng Xi has done everything, and cleaning is not a problem.
It's just that the things in this room really make her feel so curious.
There are a lot of traps on the wall, and if you snap it, there will be a light overhead to illuminate it.
There is also a faucet that produces water, a large porcelain jar for bathing, and a bucket that I don't know has anything to do with horses, but the name is a toilet.
Meng Xi got to know each other and was surprised again and again.
Although I don't know what kind of country this is, if these things can be introduced into the Great Meng Kingdom, they will definitely benefit the people.
Then the people would no longer have to carry water, because the water from the taps would be inexhaustible.
There is no need to chop firewood anymore, because there is natural gas that can be perfectly replaced, and as soon as the switch is flipped the switch, there will be fire.
There is no need to work hard at night with a faint candle flame, because this electric light is far better than candlelight.
But what surprised Meng Xi the most was the TV.
The people in the 'Temple Test' are vivid, just like real people!
Meng Xi went around to the back of the 'palace test' several times to touch it, and there was really no secret passage in the back, but how did those people run in?
Meng Xi was amazed for a while, and then noticed that Steward He, who was obviously tired, silently went to clean up the bed, and then forcibly pushed Steward He to rest.
Steward He was helpless and said, "Then I'll go out." ”
Meng Xi: "What are you doing?" ”
"Grocery shopping, hungry, aren't you?"
Meng Xi understood and nodded.
There weren't many things to be cleaned up, but after this one was cleaned up, Meng Xi was so tired that he was panting, and suddenly, a strange sound sounded.
'Jingle bell'.
Meng Xi was taken aback and looked around vigilantly.
