Chapter 129: Send a pillow
Du Xuanmo and Shen Shiliu walked to the gate of the palace, and on the way, they were still seen by Su Baiyue.
Su Baiyue was about to come over to talk when she saw Du Xuanmo, but Du Xuanmo saw Su Baiyue getting closer and closer, and her face was not good.
"It's bad, there are so many people here, if you make a fuss, it's a big shame!" Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu saw that this Su Baiyue was still coming, and directly pulled Du Xuanmo and said, "Then don't hurry up!" "She didn't believe that Su Baiyue could catch up!
The two of them slipped away, Su Baiyue was stunned, she didn't expect it to be like this!
The two ran to the gate of the palace before stopping, and then returned to the post house leisurely.
Du Niangzi burned a charcoal basin in the house, and the two felt warm as soon as they entered the house. Du Xuanmo came over to help Shen Shimei take off the cloak outside, saving the coolness.
"You haven't said anything about you, I think you're quite satisfied!" Shen Shimei asked Du Xuanmo while roasting the fire.
Du Xuanmo dragged his coat and took a small stool to sit over to roast the fire together, and said: "The official position is indeed not high, but the position is special!" ”
"Don't sell it!" Shen Shiliu smiled, she hadn't been in touch with the twists and turns of officialdom, and she didn't understand.
Du Xuanmo smiled lightly and said eloquently: "Changshi is Xiang Ye's assistant, although the official level is not high, but it is a real job, the emperor thinks that if he wants to know how Xiang Ye's errand is doing, then it is most convenient to ask me, and Xiang Ye has the grace of knowing me, and the emperor does this to give Xiang Ye a face." ”
"Oh, I see, the emperor believes in this prime minister very much?" Shen Shiliu said.
Du Xuanmo shook his head: "It's hard to say about this matter, but after all, there is no rejection of Xiangye." As for the servant, it is only a subsidiary position, only assigned by the emperor, and this position has no real position, but it has a lot of face. The emperor took into account that I was still young, and if a person like me held an important position in the court, he would definitely be criticized by hundreds of civil and military officials, so he gave me such a position first. That's why he was satisfied, the emperor took care of his future on the one hand, and the thoughts of the courtiers on the other, which was the best of both worlds.
"I see, that's a good thing!" Shen Pomegranate was relieved.
Du Xuanmo smiled, and suddenly his stomach gurgled, which made him a little embarrassed.
"The things in the palace are not good-looking or not, and I haven't eaten much, you wait for me for a while, I'll cook noodles!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile that she was also a little hungry, so she ate and slept together.
Shen Pomegranate borrowed the kitchen of the post house and placed noodles, put Haimi in it, a few drops of soy sauce to enhance the flavor, and added poached eggs, this noodle is perfect.
Shen Shiliu and Du Xuanmo were each holding a bowl of noodles, and there were temporary pickled side dishes with cucumbers next to them, and they couldn't sleep after they were full.
"It's really cold in the winter in Kyoto City." Shen Shiliu said that he was used to staying in Anyang County, and the weather here was still a little uncomfortable.
"Wear more, if you don't like it here, I'll see if I can have the opportunity to work in the south in the future." Du Xuanmo felt a little sorry for Shen Pomegranate, when he first came to Kyoto City, he was also cold enough, although it was much better and stronger than that of Mobei, but it took many days to adapt to the water and soil before he eased up.
Shen Shiliu shook her head, even if she was stupid, she knew that being an official in a place was not as good as being an official in Kyoto City, how many magistrates had cut their heads and wanted to squeeze into Kyoto City, she couldn't let Du Xuanmo maneuver!
"It's good that I'm used to it, and I'm not so squeamish!" Shen Shiliu said: "It took so much effort to come to Kyoto City, and if you are not in Kyoto City, it is estimated that Miss Su and her family will be endless!" She didn't want Du Xuanmo to be unlucky for her, and she couldn't bear it.
Du Xuanmo pulled Shen Pomegranate closer, and Shen Pomegranate leaned directly into Du Xuanmo's arms, feeling a lot warmer.
Shen Pomegranate fell asleep after a while, and Du Xuanmo didn't expect Shen Pomegranate to fall asleep so quickly, so he picked up Shen Pomegranate and put it on the bed in the inner room, covered the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt, and moved another charcoal basin, afraid that Shen Pomegranate would be cold at night.
Du Xuanmo packed up and went to the outer room, covering two quilts because of the low temperature.
When Shen Shiliu woke up the next day, Du Xuanmo was no longer there, and she actually slept for a long time at once.
There is some soreness in the body, and yesterday I still had a little cold, but fortunately it was not serious, except for the soreness in my body, I did not have a fever.
"Mother, have you eaten it?" Shen Shiliu didn't have any spirits, so she went to Du Niangzi's room to take a look.
Du Niangzi shook her head: "Not yet, it's still early, Xuanmo left in advance because of a hurry in the morning, you can sleep again." Du Niangzi said.
Shen Shiliu shook her head, Du Niangzi got up to sweep the yard, she was still lazy, and went to the next room to call Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai.
"Apprentice, you can prepare breakfast today, Brother Erzhu, you and I go out to buy vegetables." Shen Shiliu said.
Regardless of the food in the post house, they buy their own food, and then borrow the kitchen of the post house, but fortunately, there are not many people in the post house who cook by themselves, and no one robs the kitchen for them.
Zheng Erzhu followed Shen Shiliu to the streets of Kyoto City, looking at the prices of vegetables in Kyoto City, Zheng Erzhu also hesitated: "It's so expensive just to buy vegetables, can we open this small restaurant?" ”
"It's up and running!" Shen Shimei is not worried, existence is reasonable, the price of vegetables here is so expensive, and I haven't seen any boss surnamed really starving to death, the price of vegetables is expensive, and the price is expensive overall!
Although Zheng Erzhu didn't drag his feet in his heart, Shen Shiliu said that he was so confident, he just had to follow Shen Shiliu to roll up his sleeves and work hard!
Du Xuanmo's official position must have come down, and the next day the head of the Internal Affairs Office came to the post house, but Du Xuanmo and Shen Shimei were not there, and Du Niangzi and Wen Huai didn't know anything.
"What a good thing that is!" Hu Yuan, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, saw that no one was there, so his errand would be delayed, and he would have to finish his life when he went back.
Du Niangzi asked, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?" ”
As soon as Hu Yuan saw that someone's mother was there, he said: "Don't call it a miscellaneous adult, I really can't stand it, it's okay to come today, that is, the Internal Affairs Office divides the residence according to the convention, and now there are three places that are free, just waiting for our Lord Du to settle down!" ”
When Du Niangzi heard that she was going to divide the house, she was interested, looked at the three villages, and asked: "Which of the three places can you choose?" ”
"It's all right, there are still three places to choose, if it's just one miscellaneous family, you don't have to run this one!" Hu Yuan said.
Wen Huai followed Du Niangzi's look, and when Du Niangzi hesitated, Wen Huai pointed to one place and said, "This place is good!" ”
Du Niangzi looked at Wen Huai and asked, "What's the matter with this?" She saw that the thing Wen Huai pointed to was noisy and not quiet enough.
Wen Huai pointed to the picture on the paper and said, "The front door is quite quiet, and the backyard is a little noisy, but Master definitely likes it here, change it, and you can use it as a shop!" ”
When Du Niangzi heard it, it was indeed such a reason.
"Otherwise, Mrs. will choose, and it will save the miscellaneous family from spending here!" Hu Yuan pouted Du Niangzi, Wen Huai saw that the village was indeed not as quiet as the other two, originally thought that this place was going to fall, but I didn't expect Wen Huai to say that this place was good!
Du Niangzi hesitated, Wen Huai didn't say more, and finally Du Niangzi said: "Then this place!" ”
"Well, the miscellaneous family will leave, and the lady will stay!" After Hu Yuan responded, he went back to his life.
As soon as Hu Yuan left, Du Niangzi was a little unsure, and said: "I still think the other two places are better, what if you choose the wrong one!" ”
Wen Huai shook his head: "Master definitely likes this place!" ”
Du Niangzi looked at this bastard, and she didn't know if she had chosen the right one!
When Shen Shiliu and Zheng Erzhu came back from shopping for vegetables, they heard that the imperial court had allocated a house, so they asked where they went.
Du Niangzi talked about the matter, and sure enough, Shen Shimei was happy: "It's really not wrong, someone sent a pillow just when I wanted to sleep!" "In this way, there is only money left for renting the storefront, and the back door is a still bustling side street, and she can open the door after renovating it!
Du Niangzi finally relieved herself when she heard Shen Shiliu say this, but Shen Shimei became excited all of a sudden.
"Now that the storefront is settled, as soon as the house is in hand, let's repair it!" Shen Shiliu said, this matter is indispensable to Wen Huai's unique vision, killing two birds with one stone, not only can live people, but also can be changed into a storefront, which solves the problem of the boss!
Wen Huai scratched his head and smiled innocently, Du Niangzi smiled and said, "This fool's brain turns faster than anyone else!" ”
Shen Shimei believes this, at first she thought that Wen Huai was a stupid big man and slow to learn things, but then she felt that Wen Huai was not stupid and sincere, although she learned things two or three times before she learned them, but once she learned them, she would not make mistakes in a proper manner, and her brain turned fast at critical moments!
Shen Shimei is a character who does what she says, and now everything is ready, she only owes Dongfeng, and the house has not been handed over, so she can only talk on paper. If you have time, you can use paper to make plans, how to open a store, and the layout of the store, after all, it is a backdoor renovation, and it is estimated that it needs to be groundcut. She now has to count the money in her hand, and she has to leave some money to spend on the living expenses of the house.
One afternoon, Shen Shiliu sat in the room and didn't come out, and she didn't have time to look up until Du Xuanmo came back.
"You're back, look at my plan!" Shen Shiliu pulled Du Xuanmo to show him if the painting was good.
Du Xuanmo smiled, before entering the door just now, he had already heard Wen Huai talk about the internal affairs office coming to divide the room, and he knew that he was on the rise, so he sat down.
"It's a good drawing." Du Xuanmo looked at it for a moment and finally said.
Shen Shiliu was curious: "Aren't you afraid that I will toss and smash it?" ”
"Our house is big, you can toss it!" Du Xuanmo said, Shen Shimei is happy, it's just a place to live, as long as the house is not demolished.
Shen Shiliu grinned, and then said, "Then the first step is to demolish this room!" ”
Du Xuanmo: "......" really wants to demolish the house!?
