Chapter 24 The Newborn Calf

The carriage entered the gate, walked for a while, and stopped in an open space.Li Tianba opened the curtain and said with a smile, "Come out, we're home."

Axiu got out of the carriage right after her, and she sighed pettishly as soon as she got off, "What a style!"

Li Tianba laughed and said, "This is Dongpianyuan, and you will live here from now on." As he spoke, a boy about his age came running over, bowing his head and respecting him. Respectfully called "Second Master".

"This is a new boy, you take him to see Guanshi Liu, just say that I picked him to order him, and he will know what to do."

"Yes."

Li Tianba turned to Axiu and said, "Follow him. Later, Manager Liu will arrange a place for you to live and explain the rules of our house."

Looking at Li Tianba's dignified appearance, he really looks like a caring person who adopts street children.Axiu let out an "oh", and hurriedly followed, and asked with a little flattery, "What's your name, and what should I call you?"

"You can just call me Stone, what's your name?"

Shi Shi seemed to have no intention of flattering him at all, on the contrary, he felt a little contemptuous.But Axiu didn't dare to offend him, and said honestly, "My name is Axiu."

"Axiu? What's your last name?"

"I'm a little beggar. The second master took me in because he saw me as pitiful. I don't know my last name."

I don't know what my surname is, Shi Shi seemed to have a little pity for him, and said: "I thought you were the newcomer that the second master liked, but I really took you in. Let me tell you, how can I teach you to turn you to the east?" Take it from the courtyard."

Axiu squinted her eyes and smiled twice, and asked, "What's wrong with the Eastern Pianyuan?"

"The east side courtyard is where the boys stay, and the west side courtyard is where the girls live. If the second master likes someone, they usually live in the south courtyard."

Axiu said "Oh", no wonder that Xu Li stopped in front and didn't follow them to this side. Thinking about where he came, he looked around and asked again: "Then Li Huo... ...Where is the uncle? He lives in the North Courtyard?"

"The old man doesn't live here, the third lady and the young lady live in the north courtyard..." Probably afraid that he might not understand, Shi Shi enthusiastically explained: "The third lady is the younger sister of the uncle and the second master, and the young lady belongs to our uncle. The only daughter. Our uncle and his wife live on the south bank of the lake. The courtyard we built a few years ago is called Mingyueju, and Mingyue is the name of the lake in the middle... You will know this after you get familiar with it. Come, walk this way.”

Axiu walked through several corridors, and only then did she see the grandeur of the Li family.They didn't stop until they came to a house surrounded by blue bamboos. There was a little girl playing with parrots under the porch. She looked very festive and made people like it.Shitou called her and said, "Second Master recruited a servant boy, and told me to bring him to see Guanshi Liu."

"Guan Liu is not here." The little girl took a look at Axiu, probably because Axiu's ragged clothes were an obstacle, she frowned and said, "You guys wait here for a while."

"Where did Guanshi Liu go?"

"Just now someone reported from the front that the uncle's horse was found in the market, and Manager Liu ran over to have a look."

Shi Shi showed a very surprised expression when he heard this: "Uncle's horse has been found? Hasn't it been lost for half a month?"

"Isn't that right, I thought I couldn't find it, but today a young man went to the market to look at the horse, and he saw it. The uncle's horse is a rare and good horse. It is as white as snow, and you can recognize it at a glance. La."

Axiu stood aside and didn't dare to say much, but after listening to what Shitou said to the little girl, he remembered the white horse he had seen before, and he only took a closer look at that horse in the night. But it looked like a rare good horse, so it was a pity that the fat man secretly sold it like that.With lowered eyebrows, he stretched out his feet and kicked the pebbles under his feet boredly, thinking of the person he had saved, and wondering if he was still alive.

People say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. He has saved half his life. I don’t know if he can get a little reward. If he can, then he will beg God to bless him as soon as possible to avenge Xue Xue Don't be ashamed, and earn a few taels of silver by the way.

Just as he was thinking, someone came over from outside, a middle-aged man in his forties, kind-hearted, white and fat, he glanced at him and asked, "New here?"

The stone next to him hurriedly said: "Guan Liu, this is the second master who personally selected him as a servant, and the second master asked me to hand him over to you."

"Oh." Guanshi Liu looked him up and down, and said, "Follow me."

Axiu hurriedly followed, and they passed another row of houses, and came to a side room.Liu Guanshi said: "Someone just moved out here and it became vacant, so you can live here."

Axiu glanced around and found that his treatment was really good. The house was not adjacent to the place where the other servants lived, and it was located alone in a large osmanthus tree. Now that it's golden autumn, the osmanthus has already bloomed, thick A strong aroma, the environment looks very unique and quiet.He raised his head and asked Liu Guanshi: "Why do I live here? I saw that most of them live in the front house."

"I haven't seen a person like you before. Wouldn't you be happy if I gave you a good house?" Manager Liu didn't know what was going on, but he looked down on him, pushed open the door and said, "You sweep this house You can live by sweeping, there is everything in it, and there is not much dust, you can take a shower after tidying up, and I will teach someone to send you the clothes later."

After Liu Guanshi finished speaking, he left. Axiu was stunned for a long time, seeing that Liu Guanshi's figure had gone far, she sighed and said to herself: "Damn, why are people in Li's residence like this?" Virtue."

He rolled up his sleeves and started to work, tidying up the inside and outside of the house. He was sweating from exhaustion, and the ragged robe on his body was even more dirty.He wiped his face and came out of the house, only to see a new dress on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the door, and he didn't know where the person who gave him the clothes was.But he didn't know where to take a bath. Although it was still hot, it was autumn after all. He thought that he should take a hot bath.So he went to the kitchen with his clothes in his arms, trying to boil a bucket of hot water.He knew that he was already a slave now, and he probably had to do things like boiling water by himself.On the way, he ran into the little girl playing with the parrot again, and hurried to catch up, smiling and shouting: "Sister, sister!"

The little girl looked back at him, with a surprised expression on her face: "You called me?"

Axiu laughed twice, trying her best to flatter her: "Sister, I'm new here, I don't understand a lot of things, can I ask you for advice?"

The little girl glanced at him, but she obviously followed his tricks and said, "Tell me."

"Guan Liu asked me to take a shower, but no one took me there. Do you know where I'm going to take a shower?"

"Xiao Lingzi is only interested in playing again, that's all right, you can follow me." The little girl was not very old, but she spoke in an air of experience.Axiu followed her and introduced herself, "I forgot to introduce, my name is Axiu, what's my sister's name?"

"My name is Chunsui..." The little girl glanced at him, then frowned and said, "But you can call me Sister Chunsui."

"Sister Chunsui." Axiu called out quickly, and Chunsui laughed, and said, "What did you do before, and why were you dressed in tatters?"

"I'm a beggar." Saying that she was a beggar in front of a girl of her own age, Axiu suddenly felt shy and said, "Our house used to be fine, but then it fell apart."

That Chunsui didn't say anything either, as if he didn't quite believe his words.As they were walking, a group of people suddenly ran over in front of them, all of them panting and running red-faced and thick-necked, Axiu was curious, and was about to watch, when Chunsui suddenly grabbed him and avoided him, whispering, "Don't look up. "

Axiu didn't know why, but she still lowered her head according to Chunsui's intention. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Who was it just now? Why did you ask me to lower my head?"

"They belong to the third wife. They are amazing. Don't offend them in the future."

"Who is the third lady?"

"Our uncle's concubine, our uncle has three wives in total, the first lady, the second wife and the third lady, the eldest lady is the most powerful, and the third lady is the most favored. Just remember, you don't want to offend anyone except the second lady. gone."

As soon as she said Axiu, she understood. Needless to say, the eldest lady is the main wife, and she should be powerful. The third lady must be the most beautiful and youngest. It's the doormat of honest duty.Big families are like this, some people can eat it, and some people can't eat it.

Chunsui led him to a somewhat dilapidated yard. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and there was only one path winding through it. There was a big locust tree in the yard, and there was an old well under the big locust tree, and there was a bucket beside it. .

"Okay, you can wash here, everyone is working at this time, there is no one."

Axiu was taken aback, and quickly grabbed Chunsui and asked, "There's nothing here, how can I boil water?"

"Boiling water?" Chunsui looked at him as if he was looking at a monster: "What kind of water should be boiled in such a hot day, just use well water to flush it."

After saying that, Chunsui sneered, took her small handkerchief and walked away with a twist, leaving Axiu alone standing under the old pagoda tree, sitting down on the grass.

"Fuck me!"
