"Oh, the second watch day - close the doors and windows, prevent theft and theft!"

Finally, the night of all evil came. After the candles were extinguished in every house, Hefu was also calm, and Huamo held a rolling pin and shrunk on the side of the bed, anxiously waiting for her nominal husband to enter the room.

Although he agreed with him for three chapters of the covenant, he was still not at ease when he was alone and widowed in the same room. After dinner, she sneaked into the kitchen and secretly took a rolling pin while no one was looking. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he slipped into the utility room and got a fishing net and a clip.

In the afternoon, Xiaolan brought in two new quilts and asked her to cover them at night, so she simply used the original old quilt to make 38 threads and put them in the middle of the bed to build a small obstacle. As for the fishing nets, she first fastened them to the top of the bed with clips, and then lowered them down to create the effect of mosquito nets.

Hua Mo looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, even if He Qingxian fell asleep and moved, this net could be separated by a little bit.

As for the rolling pin, she had high hopes for it, and if necessary, she hoped that it would play its essential role as a wooden stick - to fight perverts.

After everything was ready, Hua Mo maintained the above posture of holding the rolling pin, and lay on the bed for almost an hour, but He Qingxian did not come back.

He didn't come back, she didn't dare to fall asleep like this. If you go to bed before him, you are always worried that he will do something bad to play a trick on himself.

If he came back, it would be the first time for her to lie in the same bed with a man, and it would be a stranger, so to speak, and it would be even more nervous.

In such a cranky way, she was unconscious. When He Qingxian entered the house, what awaited him was a sleeping position on all fours and eight forks, and a rolling pin that rolled to the ground. What kind of fishing nets and mosquito nets, she would have torn them off a long time ago.

She has such a big battle, and she broke it by herself? He Qingxian couldn't cry or laugh. He picked up the rolling pin, put away the nets, carefully moved her limbs back into the 38th parallel, and looked at the unbeautiful sleeping appearance of the foam for a while before lying down lightly.

It's half a night again.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck."

"Ahhh Go away, go away! A profuse sweat blew up from the bed, and Hua Mo dreamed that she was being chased and pecked by a big. She took a deep breath and came back to her senses, this stereo surround sound, it turned out to be the rooster crowing outside. Fix your eyes and look at the position next to her, it's empty, and her bedmate on the other side is not there.

The rolling pin waits obediently on the left, the fishing net and mosquito net are hung high on the right, and the quilt as the 38th line is also impartial.

Nothing has changed.

Didn't he come back last night? Hey, no matter what he does, these "weapons" can't be seen, otherwise it will be another question. She simply cleaned up the bed, put on her coat and stepped out of the room, catching Elle, who was passing by with a vase.

"Good morning, young lady!"

"Morning, have you seen Xiaolan?"

"Young lady, Xiaolan is going to prepare breakfast for you. The young master explained this morning, I will wake you up and wash up within the hour at the latest, and then go to accompany the old lady, it is almost time now. ”

"......" The corners of Hua Mo's mouth twitched twice, and she couldn't understand.

Ele had already prepared, and explained with a gesture: "The young master asked me to convey the young lady, saying that it means nine o'clock." "Although I don't know what [nine o'clock] is, as the young master said, the young lady doesn't look so stupid after hearing this word. What a confidant wife Mo Ruojun!

"Oh, okay." It seems that it is not that the big injustice does not return at night, but that her battle is well arranged, and it is estimated that it has also played a certain deterrent role.

An hour later.

Under the gazebo, a few clouds floated overhead.

Hua Mo awkwardly pinched the needle and thread, and three sentences flashed in her mind several times:

Who am I?

Where am I—

What am I going to do—

An hour ago, Hua Mo specially instructed Xiaolan to dress her up more well-behaved. The hairstyle should be combed into the style of filial piety. Clothes should be dressed neatly and elegantly.

With a small twisted step, she single-handedly came to greet her mother-in-law.

Mrs. He glanced at her and snorted from her nostrils. Given that she was not too satisfied with her previous performance and her son was not there, this was already a response to her.

Mei Tuan came out to play a round: "Madam, young lady, the refreshments have been prepared, you can move to the garden pavilion." ”

"Okay." The He family's wife signaled to get up, and when Mei Tuan saw this, she glanced at Hua Mo. Fortunately, Hua Mo understood, and went over to pick it up with understanding, and the He family's mother-in-law replied to her with a faint smile of "count you as acquaintances", and led the group to move slowly to the pavilion.

At the time of the crisp autumn weather, smelling the faint fragrance of osmanthus that comes with the autumn wind, the atmosphere is much more relaxed. The tea was frying on the roasting fire, the three water pipes were on the fire, and Tao Bao was carrying a kettle to rinse the tea set.

After taking a seat, Sanshui quickly brewed the tea and served it to the two masters.

Mrs. He's mother-in-law picked up the saucer: "Juvenile fish, this is the imperial court's tribute tea, and the emperor rewarded it." ”

"Yes." Hua Mo can now quickly react to the name of the original body, she gently pushed open the tea lid, took a sip, hot! Biting your tongue, you must not shout out.

"How?" The old man is looking forward to his daughter-in-law having the same taste as himself.

It's a pity that Hua Mo admits that she really doesn't have that tendon, and she can't taste anything famous, isn't it just the taste of tea? In her mind, this has the same effect as mouthwash and chewing gum, and the tongue is still a few seconds away from cooking.

She swallowed her saliva and gave full affirmation: "Well, good tea!" ”…… Belch? What's going on? She seemed to feel the eyes of her mother-in-law expecting her to continue speaking, "It's very fresh, and the tea is fragrant...... It's refreshing! "Please be considerate of the science student, it took almost half a minute to finally hold back three words.

"Hey." The mother-in-law of the He family sighed briefly, remembering that this daughter-in-law came from a humble background, and she must not have had much contact with elegant things such as tea tasting, and now she only hopes to cultivate some elegant hobbies for her, so that she will not lose the face of the He family in front of everyone.

Isn't the boast insincere? Hua Mo pondered the reaction of the He family's mother-in-law. I think of the second trick taught in the book to win people's hearts, which is to learn to praise.

This must be based on a good personality, so that the rainbow fart sent out is sincere enough and will not appear to be too dogleggy. According to her current image, it shouldn't be very difficult?

Hua Mo turned around and smiled: "The young fish is shallow, mother-in-law, you must often taste tea, can you teach some experience?" ”

Mrs. He raised her head and glanced at the flower foam: "Taste the tea and smell the fragrance first." At the beginning of the entrance, there is a freshness after the rain. Putting down the teacup, he continued, "Taste it carefully, and it will be sweet and sweet." Not long after entering the throat, the tea rhyme is still retained. ”

According to this statement, Hua Mo copied the entire process with actions exactly the same, and the He family's mother-in-law finally showed a "not bad" smile on her face.

"Okay, it's almost ready, let's get some needlework."

“……”

The mother-in-law gave an order, and the little daughter-in-law entered the second round.

Helplessly, embroidery is too difficult, it is not like tea tasting, even if you can't pretend to be. After an hour, Hua Mo not only felt that her soul was traveling, and kept asking herself the three questions about philosophy, but also wondered if it was the soul that pierced Mama Rong, but there was no little swallow and Ziwei to prick her, so she started to her fingers.

"Well, how come you can't even do simple and basic needlework?" Mrs. He looked at Hua Mo clumsily, tied her middle finger and pinned her little finger, and said suspiciously, "I heard that my mother's embroidery is very good, didn't I teach you?" ”

"Well, the young fish is stupid and doesn't learn well." was almost put on a swing by the original mother.

Looking at the red and swollen fingers, the He family's mother-in-law relented and decided to spare her for the time being, "Forget it, let's learn it in two days." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, I will definitely study hard." This morning's class is finally over, and Huamo does not forget to pretend to express her determination to reform herself.

"You have to embroider two mandarin duck pillows within a month." He Jiapo added.

“…… Be. ”

The lady development class was too difficult, but fortunately, the housekeeping class in the afternoon was relatively easy.

"Our Hefu is on the edge of the most prosperous street, quiet in the middle of the noisy, sitting north to south, young lady, look at the west chamber over there...... Young lady? He Bo turned into a little tour guide and enthusiastically introduced the situation in the house, but why didn't the tourist react?

He Bo turned around and saw that the new young lady was biting her lip, looking a little tangled.

Hua Mo swore that she really respected his old man, and that her left ear was listening to him carefully, but her right ear was distracted by the shouts of hawkers coming from the street.

"Sell tofu flowers, feed - sweet and tender tofu flowers-"

She was hungry.

"Uncle Ho." But she didn't want to say openly that she was hungry. "Wait a minute, I'll buy some tofu flowers for everyone, the weather is too hot, eat some desserts to relieve the heat."

"Oh, young lady, it's good to tell your subordinates to do such a trivial matter." He Bo was a little surprised, he thought that this young lady with a bad background would only create a farce, but he didn't expect that he was quite good.

"No, no, no, I'll just go, you just sit and wait for me." Thinking about it, I can't go out for a while, and it's rare to seize the opportunity to let off steam, how can I miss it!

After that, she slipped back to the room, opened the wooden box, and grabbed a handful of copper coins at random, it should be enough, right? Stepping out of the gate, there were not many people on the street, she tried her best to stand dignified and elegant, pinched her throat and gently called Uncle Tofu Hua.

"Hello, that handsome guy, how do you sell tofu flowers?" She waved her paw.

This "brother" obviously stunned the uncle, although he didn't know what the identity of this girl was, and he didn't know what "handsome guy" meant, but the famous Hefu people in this good city were willing to call him "brother", not to mention how happy his heart was!

The uncle rolled up his sleeves and heroically picked up two wooden buckets of tofu flowers and put them in front of her: "Girl, my eldest brother is happy today, buy one get one free, you can give it as you like." ”

The ancients had a cloud, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat, and whoever eats for white won't eat.

In the past, the fat that was sent to the mouth, the foam must have to bite a few bites within the scope of conscience. But now is a special period, when necessary, we have to give up a little money, and the most important thing is to win people's hearts. In addition to the mass base in Hefu, the flowers and plants outside cannot be let go.

Hua Mo stuffed a handful of copper coins in his hand and thanked him politely: "Big brother, you have worked hard, take this." ”

"Girl, that's too much!" Not only buy one get one free, but also get five more barrels free.

"You're welcome, it's not easy for you on this hot day, and the tofu flower looks pretty good, so you can accept it."

"Girl, you really know the goods!" The uncle proudly boasted of his craftsmanship, "This is tofu flower made from the spring water of the nearby Chibi Mountain, and I make it every year." The first bucket of this summer, you're in for a treat. ”

"Nearby mountains?"

"Yo, girl, have you just arrived in Liangcheng? There is a Chibi Mountain near here, which leads to the next town. ”

"Ah...... I see. Thank you. ”

After saying goodbye to Uncle Tofu Hua, Hua Mo beckoned the family to move the tofu flower in, and personally scooped and distributed a bowl for one person.

The surface did not move, and a small abacus was quietly made in his heart.
