Hearing Huo Xiao say this, Doudou also looked up at the sky, and sure enough, a large dark and heavy dark cloud in the southeast pressed towards them, it seems that what Old Man Wang said last night was right, and it was indeed going to change the sky.
She quickly put her long loose hair into a long braid, rearranged her clothes and tied her belt, Huo Xiao also stuffed the clothes that had been scattered on the side and had not yet dried into the baggage, and the two turned over and galloped back along the road they came.
Although the bean paste and sesame seeds were both first-class BMWs, the two still couldn't return to the cabin before the heavy rain came.
Compared with the two of them, the Shumo people who went to the village to buy vegetables were even more miserable.
Twenty miles is nothing, and at the speed of a carriage, it can easily go back and forth in an hour.
The real trouble is purchasing.
Whether it is calligraphy, ink, inkstone, or picking green and mulberry, playing a child is the person who serves his own young master and girl closely, and when has he done such a thing as buying vegetables and meat If you go to a real bazaar, according to the situation that the four of them are not short of money and do not need to bargain, even if they have no experience, it is easy to buy all the things they need.
But in the village it's not the same at all.
As Doudou said, the vegetables and meat in the village are indeed very fresh, but the vegetables are still in the villagers' vegetable fields, and the meat is still waiting to be slaughtered at the butcher's house, so what should the four of them do?
In the end, they decided that the four of them would go their separate ways, Shumo and Caiqing would go to the butcher's house in the village to kill pigs, and Shuyan and Caisang would go to the villagers' vegetable fields to buy vegetables.
After more than half an hour, the four of them finally bought all the vegetables and meat that Doudou had confessed, and went to the big family in the village to buy two bags of rice noodles, a barrel of oil, a cage of live chickens and ducks, and dozens of eggs.
It just so happened that the only carpenter in the village lived next door to the big family, and it happened that there was an apprentice at home who used to practice making a crooked bath bucket, which was bought by Cai Qing and Cai Sang for two taels of silver, the reason is very simple, their girls want to take a bath Shumo Shuyan secretly complained in his heart, their master also wanted to take a bath, but they knew that the master would not fight with Doudou girl at all.
For the sake of their future housewife, the two of them took a lot of effort to tie the bath bucket to the back of the car.
In this way, there was a bath barrel behind the car, chickens and ducks in the car, and the group set out on the return journey in a horse-drawn carriage.
No one expected that these chicken and dog bits and pieces were enough to give Shumo and Shuyan a headache, but God still wanted to come to join in the fun, and when they were less than five miles away from the racecourse, the heavy rain fell like a pour.
Fortunately, Shumo's skills in driving the car were good, although he and Shuyan had become soup chickens, and the green and mulberry picking, rice, noodles, chickens and ducks in the car were not wet, and they rushed back to the cabin in less than half an hour.
The rain was too heavy, and there was a lot of rain in front of the cabin, so Cai Qing went to the house to find two umbrellas, and a few people didn't care about it, wading through the rain to carefully transport the ingredients in the car back to the house.
By the time Doudou and Huo Xiao arrived, the rice and noodles had been successfully transported into the kitchen, and Cai Sang was directing Shumo and Shuyan to move the bath bucket to the cabin where the girls lived.
Doudou was stunned when she saw such a situation, such a heavy rain, such a bulky bath bucket, and a few of them actually suffered so much for her to take a hot bath, she was very moved but also a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to say.
"Lentils, lentils," Huo Xiao shouted twice at Doudou.
Doudou still stood in the rain and did not answer.
The wild girl is stupid again In the eyes of aristocratic children like Huo Xiao, it is natural for the subordinates to suffer for the master, and if the subordinates are not allowed to come forward when the master is in trouble, they may feel that they are not disliked by the master, not to mention that you just have to feel sorry for them and go to shelter from the rain first Huo Xiao reluctantly jumped off the horse, wiped the rain on his face, and directly stopped Doudou from the horse.
"Brother Che, you are" Doudou was awakened by this sudden behavior, and couldn't help but struggle.
"Shut up" At this time, the rain was too heavy, and as soon as he spoke, the rain poured directly into his mouth, and Huo Xiao had to stop Doudou loudly.
He carried Doudou into the kitchen until he put her down.
Cai Qing was lighting a fire in the kitchen to boil hot water, and when she saw the two masters, she immediately greeted her: "Girl, Young Master Tang, you are finally back."
"She's just wet on her shoes and skirt, but she's quite dry.
Doudou wiped the rain on his face and said: "Cai Qing, the bath bucket is not afraid of water, why don't you wait for the rain to stop before moving, how much suffering will you have to suffer." ” Cai Qing really did as Huo Xiao thought, and didn't feel that they had to suffer something for their master, so he smiled indifferently: "A few of us have discussed, you and Young Master Tang must have been wet by the heavy rain today, so I plan to prepare a bucket of hot water before you come back, otherwise the second person will have to wait until when." ” If conditions permit, Cai Qing naturally doesn't want her girl and the young master to use the same bath bucket, but in such a humble place, in such a bad weather, you can't just care about your own master and ignore others, they really can't do such a selfish thing.
Doudou was speechless, and quietly glanced at Huo Xiao beside him, this guy seemed to have known that Cai Qing would think like this, so he didn't stop them at all when he saw them moving the bath bucket in the rain, and sure enough, he was really a person who came out of a big family, and he was used to these things.
She looked around, and saw that there was no one else in the room at all, and her heart was tense again, and she said a little anxiously: "Cai Qing, did you see Old Man Wang and Brother Yang Ma when you came back?"
Cai Qing responded: "I don't know, there was no one in the house when we came back, will the old man and the horse brother go out to herd the horses as usual?"
Doudou was even more anxious, and grabbed Huo Xiao's sleeve and said, "Brother Che, let's go and find the old man, he is old, if it rains, he will definitely get sick, and his legs" The corners of Huo Xiao's mouth twitched, and it was strange that the second old man of his family would go to the rain to take advantage of everyone's absence.
Of course, these words can only be thought about in my heart, and now I still have to appease this lentil first, and I only heard him say softly: "Don't worry, lentil, there are no less than a hundred small cabins like this in the racecourse, Lao Wang is very familiar with the environment and people here, and he will definitely find a place to shelter from the rain." ” Doudou is still not at ease: "But we just came back all the way and didn't see any cabins to shelter from the rain."
Huo Xiao patiently explained: "Lao Wang's cabin is at the edge of the racecourse, and we are riding all the way along the riverbank, where can we see the cabin, don't worry, they will definitely find a place to shelter from the rain." ” However, this time Huo Xiao thought wrongly, as soon as his words fell, King Fu's voice came in from outside. , monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation.
