Chapter Twenty-Four: And the Monthly Money
Steward Mo hurriedly stepped forward to look at the phantom machine, pinched her person, the phantom machine was in pain, and woke up leisurely. When the phantom machine secretly blamed himself for not being angry, Mo Xi in the back room walked out with a seven or eight-year-old girl, and the phantom machine couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the girl, she felt amazing when she saw Mo Xi at the beginning, and almost mistook Mo Xi for the master. But I didn't expect to stand with the girl in front of me, and immediately eclipsed, the girl was not very pink, and she was dressed very simply, but she stood quietly in front of the door, and the momentum on her body was something that Mo Xi couldn't give birth to anyway.
The girl glanced at the phantom machine, her eyes showed a little approval, and she nodded slightly to Mo Xi next to her, Mo Xi understood, and asked at the phantom machine, "What's your name?"
"Back to the girl's words, her name is the phantom machine, the fantasy of the fantasy, the clever machine, and she is from Maple Village. Steward Mo saw that the illusion machine was weak, and after waiting for a long time, she couldn't see her speak, so he opened his mouth to speak for her.
"Phantom machine, well, that's good, Phantom machine stays, and the others go back. ”
As soon as Mo Xi's words came out, not only the other two candidates were puzzled, but also Steward Mo was also unclear, since he came to the Xiao family as a housekeeper for a few months, I don't know how many girls have been found for the little master in front of him, but she is not satisfied, even her daughter Mo Xi is also reluctantly retained for the identity of his Mo steward, I didn't expect that the little girl of the illusion machine was suddenly favored by this little master, but although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask more, fortunately, he finally fell in love with one, otherwise he didn't know when to toss, so he hurriedly took two of them backThe "angry" girl left the "branch to go to the small building" and went to the other masters.
Phantom Machine followed Mo Xi into the house in a trance, and the master lady had already returned to the house, Phantom Machine had taken a pill given by Mo Xi who didn't know what it was called, and after a while, she felt refreshed, she had never felt so comfortable, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what kind of medicine is this, my whole body is so relaxed." ”
Mo Xi smiled slightly and said, "This is the awakening pill that the girl specially rewarded you, I will take you to see the girl to thank you." ”
The phantom machine followed Mo Xi into a study room, the study was very large, and there were a lot of books on display in it, and the beautiful girl was sitting at the desk and reading carefully, and she didn't seem to find Mo Xi and the phantom machine who walked into the study, and the phantom machine stepped forward to give her a non-standard gift, and said a little nervously: "Thank you Miss for taking in the phantom machine, and thank you Miss for the medicine, the phantom machine has caused trouble to Miss." ”
The girl who was reading the book glanced up at the phantom machine and nodded, there was no change in expression on her beautiful face, she just stretched out her hand and motioned for Mo Xi to take her out, and then lowered her head and continued to look at the book in her hand.
"This master's temperament is too cold, isn't it?" Phantom Ji followed Mo Xi out of the study, and couldn't help muttering secretly in her heart, such a difficult master made her feel a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but open her mouth to Mo Xi tentatively: "Sister, what's your name?"
"You don't know?" Mo Xi curiously glanced back at the small Phantom Machine whose footsteps were a little messy, and she followed behind her crampedly, just now her father Butler Mo also quietly said a few good words in her ear for the Phantom Machine, she thought that the Phantom Machine was a person with a more exquisite mind, but she didn't expect that in the end, she didn't even know the name of Steward Mo's daughter.
"Hehe, I know my sister's surname is Mo, but I don't know the name?"
"My name is Mo Xi. ”
"Sister Mo Xi, why is our girl so cold to me, does she not like me, or did I do something wrong to make the girl unhappy?"
"You can be content, think that when I first met the girl, she sent me away without even raising her head, don't worry, the girl likes you very much. As soon as Mo Xi talked about when he first entered the mansion, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene.
"Ah, that's what you call liking?" "The illusion machine felt that his three views were about to be wrong.
"Otherwise, you don't know how many people have come here in the past few months who want to join our "branch to go to the small building", if our girl doesn't like you, how can she leave you behind?" Mo Xi said as he came to the side room with the phantom machine.
"But the girl didn't say a word to me?"
Mo Xi looked at the illusion machine like a monster, and joked: "I said that you really don't understand or fake don't understand?"
"What do you really don't understand, I don't understand it, am I wrong?" said the illusion machine even more confused.
"Oh, this is your bunk, the one next to it is mine, the quilt and pillow are on that side, you go and get it yourself, we will be sisters in the same house in the future, but we have to take care of each other." Mo Xi saw that the phantom machine's expression didn't look like a fake, so he didn't ask any more questions, and directly arranged a bed for the phantom machine.
Phantom looked at the furnishings on the bed, her eyes lit up, there was a light blue silk blanket on the light gray bamboo mat, she couldn't help tiptoeing forward and touched the silk blanket, the silk blanket was soft and delicate, the bamboo mat was flat and smooth, and then looked at the stack of tall ones displayed on the side of the bed, all of which were more than two sizes of summer brocade quilts, as well as good cloth silk pillows, she said: "This ...... It's all ...... Ours?...... That's a great use, isn't it? "God is pitiful, even if she is at home, her grandfather Phantom Tree Root bed does not need such a good object, let alone her who is not welcomed, usually she sleeps with a rag to protect herself from the wind and cold, and she doesn't even dare to take off her coat, for fear that she will be sick if she accidentally turns over the wind at night.
"Look at your unproductive appearance, what kind of good is this, you will only know what it is good when you see our girl's bedroom used, we are the lowest in our Xiao family, but then again, compared to other big families, the conditions here are indeed very good, not only live well, dress well, and even give more monthly money than others. Mo Xi couldn't help but raise his little chin as he spoke, quite proud.
"Ahh......h And the monthly money?" was once again shocked by his own ignorance.
"You tell me what is good about you, which family does not give money to its subordinates, but only gives more and less, we have two taels of silver a month here, and other families are like this. Mo Xi was also speechless for such an ignorant little phantom machine.
"Two taels!" Phantom Machine widened her big black eyes, and exclaimed in disbelief, because her family's harvest in a year was only ten or twenty taels, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but have her eyes shining.
"Why, don't believe it?" Mo Xi asked, looking at the dumbfounded phantom machine.
"No, Sister Mo Xi, why are we so much taller here than outside?" asked Phantom Ji curiously, she also knew that there was no good thing in this world that lost pie in vain.
"That's why I'm so picky, otherwise how could so many people want to enter the Xiao family? Mo Xi tapped the phantom machine's head lightly.
"Thank you, Sister Mo Xi, I will definitely study hard with you to satisfy our girl. Phantom Machine immediately replied firmly, not for anything else, even for the income of two taels of silver per month, she has to do her best, plus the Xiao family is so generous to the supplies of her subordinates, she also feels that this is a very ideal good family, she can't help but feel how wise she was to endure the pain and give all the taels of silver that the Phantom Bai clan secretly gave to her.
"It's not easy to satisfy our girl, you have to be prepared to endure hardships. Mo Xi is a few years older than the phantom machine, and she likes this scheming little girl in her heart, and she can't help but treat her as her own sister.
"I'm not afraid of hardships, Sister Mo Xi, you teach me, how to make our girl happy, I can't help but be scared when I see her, she is so cold, it seems that she is also a person who doesn't like to talk, what can I do?"
"I can't help you. Mo Xi spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Why, Sister Mo Xi, you can teach me, how can I get our girl to ignore me and talk to me. Phantom Ji stepped forward and kept Mo Xi's arm, and said coquettishly.
Mo Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "I can't imagine that you are still a clingy goods, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you, don't talk about you, it's me, I haven't said a word to our girl until now, do you understand?"
"Ah, how is this possible?" the illusion machine suddenly wrenched away Mo Xi's arm.
"How could it be impossible?" Mo Xi looked at the phantom machine with a blank face, looked around again, and then quietly whispered in the phantom machine's ear: "Don't you really know anything about it, our girl can't speak?"
"Ah, you say she's dumb......"
The phantom machine opened her mouth and shouted loudly in shock, Mo Xi was so frightened that she covered her mouth and shouted in a low voice: "Be quiet, do you think it is glorious? The girl hates others to say the word dumb the most, you have to be eye-catching." ”
The phantom machine removed Mo Xi's hand and nodded gratefully.
