After Wei Xi took Xiao Qi away, Tan Xingluo drove the carriage to the courtyard.After parking, he walked to the door of the carriage and knocked lightly, "Mother." ”Only then did the carriage learn about Suosuo's movements.Tan Xingluo heard the movement and hurriedly opened the carriage door, and when he saw the mother who was bowing out inside, he was a little more careful in his eyes, "Mother, I'll help you down." ”The woman who came out of the carriage was a little thin, wearing a gray robe, and her eyes were very similar to Tan Xingluo, but she didn't look very bright.Tan Xingluo watched his mother get out of the carriage and saw that the surrounding environment was a little nervous, and hurriedly reached out to hold her hand, "Mother, this is a new home, there are only two of us, don't be afraid." ”The daughter's gentle words of comfort made the woman relax a little, and she nodded and said "yes".Tan Xingluo took out the luggage in the carriage again.A simple futon, a package with a few clothes, and such a dilapidated carriage were the only possessions of the mother and daughter.When I entered the main room, I saw that the tables and chairs inside were all neatly furnished, except that there was no popularity, and there was nothing missing.Tan Xingluo first went to the bedroom to lay out the futon, and then helped his mother to lie down, "Mother, my daughter is guarding you to rest for a while, and I will go out to buy some things and come back, if you wake up and don't see me, don't be afraid, you can see me at the door." ”"Go early and come back early."
When the woman had finished speaking, she obediently closed her eyes.Tan Xingluo sat on the footrest in front of the bed, quietly waiting for his mother's breathing to stabilize down, and after falling into a deep sleep, he carefully withdrew his hand, tucked the quilt and turned around and left silently.Out of the bedroom, she first went to the other rooms to go around, determined what needed to be purchased, and then took out the purse in her arms and counted the only silver she had left.The silver in her hand was obviously not enough for the things she wanted to buy, so it seemed that she could only pick the most important one to buy first.After putting away the silver properly, Tan Xingluo looked at the direction of the bedroom again, and then prepared to leave the house and go to the town to find a place to buy things.As soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she heard a knock on the door outside, and she subconsciously pulled her bow and arrows."
Tan girl?"
Tan Xing fell into his hand, hurriedly put the bow and arrow back into place, and walked over to open the courtyard door.saw the person outside the door clearly, "Little Seventh Girl?
”Xiao Qi turned sideways and let go of the two small carts that were splenching behind him, "These are the things that Miss sent me to send to Miss Tan, Miss Tan has just arrived, and I think I should need to buy these." ”Tan Xingluo looked at the two small carts when he heard this.The cart on the left is neatly stocked with bedding, clothes, teacups, teapots and other things to wear, and even candles.In the cart on the right are rice, noodles and vegetables, a piece of fresh pork belly, in addition to dishes, plates and chopsticks, and even a few layers of neatly chopped dry firewood at the bottom.It can be said that the contents of these two small carts have all the things she can think of to be purchased, and even some things that she can't think of for a while.Xiao Qi's sharp eyes saw that the Tan girl in front of her was a little more helpless in her eyes, as if she had never accepted these things, and she didn't know how to respond, she felt a little better in her heart, and her tone was more gentle, "These things will be purchased by my young lady for the gentlemen in the school, Miss Tan is in a hurry, and there is no time to buy these in the house, I am here to make up for you." ”Tan Xingluo was about to take out the silver hand, "Is that so?"
”It's too sweet.Xiao Qi nodded hurriedly, "I'll push these things in for you first, right?"
”Tan Xingluo hurriedly turned sideways to pass, took one of the carts with his hand, and quickly mastered the essentials after trying to push it, "This cart is very convenient." ”Not to mention how stable things are, they can change direction at will."
This is made by Miss and Mr.
Mo Jiu together."
Listening to Tan Xingluo's praise of the small cart being easy to use, Xiao Qi was not without pride."
Your young lady is very powerful."
Tan Xingluo praised it from the bottom of his heart, and he was kind.After hearing this, Xiao Qi immediately helped more actively.The two of them were busy working together, and soon put the things in the two cars together, and now the whole house looks a little more popular.After stacking the last piece of firewood, Xiao Qi clapped his hands, "By the way, Miss still wants me to bring a message to Miss Tan, tomorrow and the next two days will be the rest time for the students in the school, and the gentlemen don't have to go to class."
Miss Tan, you and your mother can come out and get acquainted with the town.Also, if you still lack something here, go out of your house, keep going, and then turn right at the end, there is a commercial street that sells things, and the whole street is full of food sellers, and there are food shops, in short, there is everything, if there is really none, you say, the next time you go, you should have it. ”After a pause, she added, "The clothes sold over there, whether it is clothes or food, are very cheap, you will know when you go to see it." ”Tan Xingluo listened carefully, and didn't feel embarrassed when he heard the last sentence.After all, it's true that she's poor."
Thank you, Little Seventh Girl, for telling me.""
Then I'll go first," Xiao Qi grabbed the two small carts and turned around, "Miss Tan, take a good rest." ”As soon as he walked to the door, a voice came from behind him, "Little Seventh Girl, stay." ”Xiao Qi turned around, and saw the kettle of boiling water that Tan Xingluo was holding in his hand, and asked her, "Little Qi girl, dare to ask where to fetch water?"
”Xiao Qi slapped his head when he heard it.She had forgotten about it."
Miss Tan, the water is here, it's this bamboo pipe, it's the mountain spring water that is brought from the mountain, and this is the faucet, you just need to unscrew it to get out of the water, just screw it when you don't need it."
Xiao Qi said and demonstrated, and Tan Xing fell to the side and looked full of novelty, "Is this also what your young lady did?"
”"Of course."
Xiao Qi nodded proudly, wanting to say that even this town, including all the buildings in this town, was designed by Miss, but thinking of this was a bit of a boastful suspicion, he had to shut up.Sent Xiao Qi away, Tan Xingluo walked to the faucet again, turned the switch on and off several times, and only then filled the kettle with water after playing enough, and when he turned around, he saw that his mother was leaning on the pillar in front of the main house, and the look in her eyes was a little more than before, looking at her and smiling softly.Her face under the veil suddenly turned red, "When did my mother wake up?"
”"Just now."
It must have seen her pinch the faucet and turn it around.Busy explained in a whisper: "This is the first time my daughter has seen this kind of water utensils, and I can't hold back my curiosity." ”He lifted the kettle on his hand again, "I want to boil some hot water to drink." ”When Tan Jing came out just now, she had already seen that the room was already very different, and she saw the kettle in her daughter's hand again, "I remember that when we came, we only had less than three taels of silver left, why did we buy so many things?"
”"These are not bought by my daughter, they were sent by the maid of the owner of Taoyuan Town, as well as rice, noodles, vegetables, pork belly, firewood, everything, let's save it, we can eat it for almost five days."
Tan Jing followed her daughter into the kitchen, and saw that it was already full, and the piece of pork belly was hanging on the beam."
That girl has a good heart, and Xingluo should not live up to the kindness of others."
Seeing her daughter nodded, Tan Jing rolled up her sleeves, "This will make me feel in good spirits, so let me cook." ”Tan Xingluo was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be happy, "Then I'll give my mother a hand." ”It took less than two sticks of incense to prepare the meal, and when Tan Xingluo sat down at the dinner table, he took off the veil that had been covering his face, revealing a face that looked like her young and airy, but suddenly looked sharper."
Xingluo," Tan Jing put a piece of fragrant braised pork into her daughter's bowl, "You came to the school here to be Mr.
Wu, and when you teach your disciples tomorrow, you still have to wear a veil?"
”Tan Xingluo paused, and glanced at the veil she put in her hand, "But I'm used to wearing it for a long time, if I don't wear it suddenly, I always feel that something is missing on my face, and I feel a little uncomfortable." ”Tan Jing's eyebrows froze.Tan Xingluo was so frightened that his heartbeat missed half a beat when he saw it, "Mother?
”"It's okay, if you want to wear it, then wear it, but the grievances in the previous life are over, and this veil must be taken off.""
Yes, don't worry, my daughter will try to take off the veil."
After that, the mother and daughter ate quietly, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.Tan Xingluo didn't dare to say it, but Tan Jing didn't want to say it.For those who rarely speak, those words have consumed too much of her energy.After eating, Tan Xingluo hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Tan Jing sat quietly in the courtyard alone for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.Tan Xingluo washed his hands and was about to put the veil on the table, but in the end, he stuffed the veil into his sleeve pocket.She said she would try to take the veil off until she never remembered to put it on again.When the mother and daughter were adapting to their new home, Xiao Qi went back to see Wei Xi."
Miss, I've done everything you explained."
Wei Xi put down the medicinal diet set and saw that Xiao Qi looked a little distracted, "What's wrong?"
”"Miss, I thought that Miss Tan would wear a veil when she was outside, but I didn't expect her to wear it at home all the time.And Miss Tan's mother-in-law, I didn't see anyone, and when I helped Miss Tan clean up the house, I thought there were just two of us in that house. ”Wei Xi tapped his chin with his fingers as he listened, "It's indeed a little strange for you to say that."
But don't worry, just wait for a while to get acquainted with it.With Miss Tan's character, it's normal to be more defensive. ”Xiao Qi originally wanted to ask you why you recruited people even though you knew that the mother and daughter were a little strange, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back.Maybe her young lady recruited someone because the mother and daughter were strange enough.If Wei Xi knew Xiao Qi's speculation about her, I have to say that this is indeed the truth!
