Chapter 7 The Ancestors of the Wu Family
While talking, the two of them arrived at Wu's house.
Looking at the very magnificent Wu Mansion, Mo Tingyin sighed with emotion: "He really deserves the sentence that he has a lot of money." ”
Wei Zhao looked at Mo Tingyin as if he had never seen the world, and for the first time he had doubts about his guess, if Mo Tingyin was really a woman who did that kind of thing, how could she seem so short-sighted now? Those women didn't know how many dignitaries and nobles they knew, and they didn't know how many mansions they had entered, how could they not even see a mansion in the town.
The courtyard wall of the Wu Mansion was very high, Mo Tingyin looked up for a long time, and said, "You step on me and climb in!
"Close your eyes!" Wei Zhao said coldly.
Before Mo Tingyin's eyes were closed, her eyes were dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already entered the back garden of the Wu Mansion.
"You don't know my blood pressure is low!" Mo Ting complained in a low voice, "What if I faint in a while?"
Wei Zhao suppressed the concern that came to his lips, and only said briefly: "I won't faint." Let's take a look around. ”
The backyard of the Wu family is extremely large, although it is broad daylight, there is no human population, Mo Tingyin followed closely behind Wei Zhao, and always felt cold behind him.
"Where are we going?" Mo Tingyin couldn't stand the terrible silence now, and gently tugged at Wei Zhao's clothes.
She thought that her movements were very light, but Wei Zhao didn't notice it.
The corner of his clothes was grabbed, Wei Zhao was stunned, but he didn't let go of Mo Tingyin's hand, he said in a low voice: "Let's go and see where Wu Xiaokui is." ”
Looking at his black clothes, Mo Tingyin said with some doubts: "What are the two of us doing in night clothes during the day?"
"Because it's possible that we're going to stay here until night. Wei Zhao said.
He felt more and more that Mo Tingyin was a different woman, sometimes she was very transparent and decisive, and sometimes she was as timid as a mouse and stupid as a cow.
If Mo Tingyin knew that Wei Zhao thought of her like this, she would not be afraid of anything, so she rushed up to fight.
"Do you know where Wu Xiaokui lives?" Mo Tingyin asked in a low voice.
Wei Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
It happened that two maids passed by with trays, and Mo Tingyin's eyes lit up and said, "Let's follow them." ”
Wei Zhao closed the mouth that had just opened, he was going to say the same thing.
The two maids did not feel that anyone was following them, and the two of them chatted loudly.
"Today's ancestor is very strange, why didn't he invite those mud monkeys to eat candy?" one of the chubby maids said with a disdainful expression, "The ancestor is really idle, what are you doing dealing with those children from poor families?"
"The old ancestor is kind-hearted," the thin maid taught the fat maid, "Besides, they all live in the same town, where there are so many dislikes, don't say it in front of the old ancestor." ”
The chubby maid said disapprerovingly: "Why don't I say this, everyone thinks so." ”
Hearing them say this, Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao basically confirmed that these two maids really served Wu Xiaokui.
Following the two to the place, the two women only went in for a while, put down their things and came out.
When the two of them walked away, Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao hurriedly walked to the window.
Wei Zhao skillfully stretched out a finger and pierced the window paper in front of him.
Mo Tingyin: "......, how could this righteous catcher be different from what she thought?" She followed Wei Zhao's example, and also stretched out her finger to poke open the window paper in front of her.
Compared with the opulence outside, Wu Xiaokui's room was empty, and in the spacious room, except for a large bed, there was a large table and a large cabinet placed against the wall, which was not made of wood, but made of iron, which looked indestructible.
I don't know how long the cabinet has been used, and the iron on it has been polished to a shiny finish. There is also a large copper lock on the cabinet, which is the size of a small watermelon, which is really exaggerated.
Mo Tingyin frowned, always feeling that this kind of furnishing looked quite awkward, especially the cabinet.
Wu Xiaokui was sitting on the kang, eating something sent by the maid.
Although this Wu Xiaokui is more than 100 years old and has white hair, his face is very ruddy, and there are not many folds on his face.
He wore a very flowing white robe, which looked a bit like a fairy wind and bones.
I don't know why, Mo Tingyin just felt very weird when he looked at such an old man.
Maybe it's because the folds on his face don't match his actual age, or maybe it's an ordinary old man who has to dress up like a fairy wind bone, which looks very unpleasant.
Wu Xiaokui had a lot of food in front of him, and he made it very exquisitely.
Especially a plate of braised pork, Mo Tingyin swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
But Wu Xiaokui didn't have much appetite, he stared at the food in disgust for a long time, then went down to the ground and opened the cabinet, then picked up the food on the kang and walked to the cabinet.
Mo Tingyin stared at him closely, wanting to see what he was going to do.
But they obviously didn't make any sound, but they were noticed by Wu Xiaokui, and he asked loudly like a bell, "Who is outside?"
When Wei Zhao heard this, he hurriedly hugged Mo Tingyin's waist, and went to the roof as soon as he raised his breath.
A few ups and downs came out of the Wu house.
Mo Tingyin was shaken again, she patted her chest, and said with a look of approval: "Yes, that's it, let's not startle the snake." ”
Seeing that she said what she wanted to say again, Wei Zhao shut his mouth stupidly.
After living for more than 20 years, Wei Zhao met such a woman for the first time, which is too much in line with his heart.
"Master Wei, what should we do next?" Mo Tingyin gasped and asked Wei Zhao.
Looking at Mo Tingyin's big round eyes, Wei Zhao quickly shook his head, threw out the word "heart-to-heart" in his mind, and said, "Let's find a place where no one notices and wait, that Wu Xiaokui is weird." ”
Mo Tingyin nodded again and again, and said with approval: "Master Wei is really a god! Let's go!"
Wei Zhao originally wanted to find a place to squat on the grass or something, but Mo Tingyin thought that he should find a place where there were many people and it would be easier to hide.
It was already noon, Wei Zhao listened to the continuous intestinal sounds in Mo Tingyin's stomach, looked at her thin body, and led Mo Tingyin into a noodle restaurant on the side of the road.
They sat by the window, just in time to see the gate of Wu's house.
asked for two large bowls of noodles with meat, Mo Tingyin gulped down the noodles and told Wei Zhao about the doubts he had just seen.
Listening to Mo Tingyin's words, Wei Zhao was even more impressed by her.
"Yes, the cabinet looks weird, he doesn't eat, but he opens the cupboard, and I can't think of what he's going to do next. Wei Zhao looked like he was eating noodles a lot, and seeing that there was no meat in Mo Tingyin's bowl, he sandwiched the meat in his bowl into Mo Tingyin's bowl.
"He's going to pour it in. Mo Tingyin also exchanged courtesies, sandwiching the noodles in his bowl into Wei Zhao's bowl, "He wants to pour those things into the cupboard, and his cabinet is allowed to raise something unsightly." ”
