Chapter 11: The little guy at the door, stunned like a chicken
When the first rays of the morning sun fell on the earth, it was probably the domestic animals who woke up earlier than everyone else, and they opened their eyes joyfully and chirped to welcome the new day.
More people woke up from a night's sleep in the midst of this rooster and dog barking and began a day's work.
The number of pedestrians began to increase on the streets, and the hawkers along the street seemed to want to tell the story of what they were eating.
The farmer who went to the field to work set off with a refreshed spirit and a farm tool on his back.
Busy merchants started today's day's trip.
And those who went to the government to order Mao also started a day's rush.
In the face of this busy morning, I am afraid that only those young children have no burden in life.
Compared with the traffic on other roads, the street in front of the Huamanlou is particularly deserted, with only a few pedestrians walking by, and there is no last night's lively scene.
Flowers are all over the building, the incense candles that have been burned all night are now only curling green smoke, the whole building, except for those yawning and cleaning up the little girls and girls, the rest of the people do not seem to be awake, last night's prosperous scene has been diluted, although the sunshine will be full of flowers all over the building to find transparent, but not only why, the people inside feel that the current situation is not as bright and warm as last night.
Peach Blossom didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the sun was already shining outside. There were too many veils hanging in Miss Moruo's room, and those strong sunlight had become less dazzling after being covered by this layer of veil.
Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment before she realized where she was staying now. Peach Blossom wanted to sit up, but just when her body wanted to shake, she remembered that Xiaobai seemed to be lying on top of her.
Peach Blossom straightened her head a little and looked at it, Xiaobai was still sleeping very soundly.
At this time, the feeling of Peach Blossom's whole body was regained, although Xiaobai's dependence, he only covered a thin quilt that night and did not feel cold, and even felt warm, but was pressed by Xiaobai all night, Peach Blossom felt that half of his body seemed to be numb.
Although Peach Blossom was still afraid of waking Xiaobai, she had to carefully pull her arm out of Xiaobai's crook first, and then leaned Xiaobai's head to the side with her hand, which slowly freed Xiaobai from her oppression.
Xiaobai, who was asleep, lost the small stove beside her, and instantly felt a little cold, the two pretty eyebrows were twisted together uneasily, the peach blossom quilt covered her, and walked out softly.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a person who looked like a little guy sitting at the door, and the little guy had fallen asleep against the door railing.
Perhaps it was the sound of Peach Blossom opening the door that woke him up, and the little guy stood up suddenly, looking at Peach Blossom and nodding a little embarrassed. "I'm waiting for my son here, but I accidentally fell asleep and disturbed the girl."
The little guy shouldn't be very awake yet, and his voice was a little louder, so Peach Blossom hurriedly put her hand to her mouth and made a silent movement.
The little guy is quite smart, and when he saw the peach blossoms, he immediately understood the meaning. He quickly covered his mouth with his own hand and kept his eyes on the room.
Peach Blossom came out and closed the door, and the little girl sighed.
"You slept here last night?" Peach Blossom looked at the little guy and asked.
The little guy scratched his hair embarrassedly, and said, "Yes, the housekeeper asked me to wait for Childe here, for fear that Childe would have something to do, and no one would tell him." ”
The little guy looks thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looks honest.
This little guy's name is Yu Qing, and he is the person who has just been sent to serve Li Si, everyone knows that Li Si has come to this flowery building, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to return tonight, so he should eat and drink, and have fun, but leave him the youngest to wait here. The first time she came to Huamanlou, she didn't know anyone, and she didn't dare to go anywhere, for fear of offending the nobles, so she had to stay outside the door, but the long night was hard to endure, and she fell asleep inadvertently.
Now I am a little embarrassed to see the peach blossom coming out of it.
Peach Blossom looked at Tortoiseshell, knowing that this child was not deeply involved in the world, and I was afraid that he had no scheming, so he smiled and said, "Miss Mo Ruo and Gongzi are still asleep, it is still cold in the spring, you have stayed here for another night, I'm afraid it will freeze to death, I'll take you downstairs to eat some hot tea." ”
Tortoiseshell rubbed her palms uneasily, wondering if she should follow Peach Blossom.
"Miss Mo Ruo will have to wait for a while to wake up, and she can't miss your business." After Peach Blossom finished speaking, she went downstairs.
Tortoise looked at the door of the house that was silent again, and followed Peach Blossom down.
"Sister." As soon as Peach Blossom walked into the yard, she saw Chunxing running over with a smile.
Peach Blossom looked at Chun Xing with a smile, and waited for her to run to her, before reaching out to help her, Chun Xing just wanted to ask Peach Blossom about yesterday, and saw Tortoise Qing standing behind Peach Blossom, so she quickly collected her emotions and saluted to Tortoise Qing.
Juqing looked at Chunxing and quickly bowed her head.
"This is Childe's little servant, I'll take him down to eat something." Peach Blossom said to Chunxing.
"Wait, sister, I'll go to those meals." Chunxing smiled and ran away again.
The hall has been cleaned up, waiting for the new night to come, and a girl like Peach Blossom is not qualified to eat in the hall, so Peach Blossom took Tortoiseshell to the hut where they eat every day.
The habits of each girl are different, so the girls who serve do not have a punctual time to eat, generally the cook is ready, put it in the pot and warm, and whoever eats it will serve some over.
The meal in Huamanlou is very simple, a bowl of porridge, a plate of side dishes, and a few steamed buns, but this is better than what ordinary civilians eat at home. Looking at the table list, Peach Blossom remembered that Li Si's identity is extraordinary, and he must have a solid family, and he brought his little servant to eat in the room downstairs like this, I'm afraid it was a little abrupt. But now that it's done, I have to talk about it.
"Our daily food is relatively simple, little brother don't dislike it." Peach Blossom looked at Tortoiseshell and said slightly apologetically.
Even if he came to Li Shi's house, he was a newcomer, he had no background, and he was not very liked by his master, so his daily treatment was not much better.
After another night of cold wind, where can I take care of those, looking at this hot meal, I hurriedly made it, I didn't hear what Peach Blossom and the others said, and quickly drank a bowl of porridge. I'm afraid it's also because I'm hungry, and the vegetarian buns are extra sweet to eat.
While she was eating happily, she heard the chuckle of a girl next to her.
Only then did Ju Qing come back to her senses, she was still in someone else's yard, so she quickly put away her crossed legs, and lowered her eating voice a lot, until she finished eating the bun in her hand, she raised her head and looked at Chunxing, who was sitting opposite, looking at her with a smile.
Chunxing's two big eyes were full of smiles.
