13. Lift water

Li Hongzhi was very angry about Widow Xiao's fart and vowed to repay the stench of this fart.

In the evening of this day, Wang Hongzhi had just finished dinner and wanted to lie down on the kang for a while, took out a small cigarette bag pot, filled the tobacco bag pot with orchid leaves, and just lit the fluff with a fire sickle, a small long worker ran to tell him, "The master is looking for you and asking you to come to his room for questioning." ”

"Okay, got it!" He pressed the smoking fluff to the small orchid leaf in the cigarette pouch pot, took a few breaths, and puffed out smoke from his mouth before he came to the front yard with the cigarette pouch pot in his mouth.

This front yard is a three-entry courtyard, and the first courtyard is idle as a guest room; The second courtyard was inhabited by Zhao Yuanwai's son and daughter-in-law Zhao Dabao and his wife; The three east rooms of the Sanjin courtyard are the kitchen and dining room, the three west rooms are where the nannies live, the lower floor of the five rooms of the main house is where Zhao Yuanwai lives, and the second floor is the show building of Miss Zhao Cuicui.

As soon as Wang Hongzhi's feet stepped into the small door leading to the front yard, at first glance, he looked upstairs to the show, and the lights of the embroidery building reflected the figure of Guo Cuicui's ana, as well as the figure of an old woman. Wang Hongzhi recognized that it was his wife's figure.

Wang Hongzhi saw that there was a light in the room where Zhao Yuanwai lived, and Zhao Yuanwai's coughing sound came out. Wang Hongzhi came to the door and shouted, "Master, Wang Hongzhi is here, what is the matter with calling me?" ”

"Oh, Hongzhi, come in." Zhao Yuanwai's voice came from the room.

Wang Hongzhi opened the bamboo door curtain and walked in.

Zhao Yuanwai was holding a hookah, smoking a hookah, and as Zhao Yuanwai slowly inhaled, the water in the hookah made a purring sound, just like the sound made by a coquettish cat. It wasn't until Zhao Yuanwai spit out a cigarette core from his hookah that Zhao Yuanwai spoke: "Have you eaten?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Hongzhi took a puff of the dry tobacco pouch, spit out the smoke, and responded with the dry tobacco pouch, but did not look at Zhao Yuanwai, but turned his head to look out the window.

Outside the window, a little girl carries a bucket. Wang Hongzhi knows that this is Miss's personal maid Yuer.

Zhao Yuanwai asked again: "How are the crops growing in the past two days?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Hongzhi's head was still looking out the window.

Zhao Yuanwai felt that something was wrong, this Wang Hongzhi just responded, but did not reply, he twisted a little hookah in his hand, forming a small smoke cannon, and after loading the hookah, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Hongzhi. When he saw Wang Hongzhi looking out so distractedly, he also came to the windowsill curiously, and saw Yu'er carrying water, and he understood a little.

Zhao Yuanwai said to Wang Hongzhi: "Are you worried about Yu'er? ”

Wang Hongzhi was asked like this, and his face blushed all of a sudden, and when he saw Yu'er carrying water, he immediately thought of two things. He first concluded that Miss Zhao Cuicui wanted a French bath again, and then could this maid carry the water? For Zhao Yuanwai's questioning just now, the left ear went in and out of the right ear, and he didn't receive a word in his brain.

When he heard Zhao Yuanwai's question, he came back to his senses and got off the donkey.

"Yes, sir."

"Then why are you stunned, don't you help carry the water."

"Yes, I'll go!"

Wang Hongzhi had a smile on his face, opened the door curtain, walked out of the room, knocked the dry tobacco ash in the cigarette pouch pot on the sole of his shoe, inserted the cigarette pouch pot into the cigarette purse, wrapped it around a few times, the cigarette pouch pot and the cigarette purse became one, stuffed into the coat pocket, walked a few steps, and caught up with Yu'er, who was carrying the water and was about to go up the stairs. said to Yu'er: "Come, brother will help you carry it." ”

Yu'er looked at the stairs and was worried, this is good, she fell asleep and gave a pillow, and handed the bucket to Wang Hongzhi's hand.

Wang Hongzhi didn't mention how happy he was, he had been coming to Zhao Yuanwai's house for more than a year, and he had only heard people say how beautiful Miss Zhao looked, but unfortunately he hadn't seen it, and today was an opportunity, just to take the opportunity to see it.
