Chapter 10: First Arrival ...
This is the first time at the end of the season that I saw a place where this group of people eat. It is really a hot place, not only the weather is hot, but the atmosphere is also hot enough.
Several people who were drinking soup with big names saw Wang Dahu and didn't care to speak. They just reached out to greet him, and Wang Dahu waved back in response.
At this time, a small, well-groomed boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old leaned over, smiled, looked at Wang Dahu, and then at Ji Mo beside him, "Brother Wang, who is this?" Wandering around the mountains at the end of the season.
At the end of the season, he felt slightly uncomfortable. The child's gaze was too strange. Now he shrank his neck subconsciously, as if he was stripping naked and running naked in front of hundreds of people.
Who would have thought that the child suddenly laughed, too much, and in the end he squatted on the ground covering his stomach, and gave him a sideways glance at the end of the season, is it funny?He looked at Wang Dahu puzzled, what's going on?
"Xiao Li, this is the end of the season. At the end of the season, this is the director of the canteen, Wang Li." He looked at Wang Li again, "Don't laugh, I know you're not as thick-skinned as you, hurry up and find something to eat, I'm hungry. "
Wang Li straightened up, "Which yard is this kid from? Couldn't he be following you?"
Wang Dahu rolled his eyes at him, and then sighed softly, his voice was so small that it was barely audible, "It was sent to Zhedong Garden, originally there was going to send people over there today, but now he is sick, so I took him Come over and have a meal first, and then see who will drop him off."
Wang Li looked at the end of the season again, "This child's name is interesting, but when you come to this yard, there are plenty of people to play with you, and you will never be lonely, especially the young master, it is absolutely lively." Suddenly With a smile, in this noisy dining hall is like in a dilapidated manor, a pear tree is in full bloom.
At the end of the season, he felt that the wind was particularly strong tonight, and it even got into his neck.He was clearly smiling, but he let out a cold air in a daze.
At the end of the season, he took a step back vigilantly. The instinct of the body is also following the wishes of the eight-year-old child.He doesn't need to deliberately suppress his actions now, the more frank he is, the safer he is.
Wang Dahu looked at him, but he didn't intend to help.
"Hey, you're still shy. That's enough. Brother won't tease you. Later, Sun Bing will deliver things to the second young master's room. You can ask Xiao Mo to follow." Looking down at the end of Ji slightly, "I call you Xiao Mo." No problem at the end."
Ji Mo bit her lip and nodded, it sounded much better than Xiao Yao.
The meal was not very good, but it made the end of the season realize that Wang Li is almost a well-rounded figure in this group of people. He can say a few witty words with anyone, and it is easy to ask for help Just a matter of saying something.
At the end of the season, he began to subconsciously search for the figures of the other people who came with him. Hei Xiaohu was chatting with a few older children. Holding a bowl, he didn't know what to say, his face turned red, and he seemed to be scratching his head in embarrassment.
When I turned my face, I saw the end of the season.This way, your chopsticks are coming this way, and a few people grabbed your clothes. In the end, you can only smile apologetically at the end of the season.
Ji Moyuan waved to him, then continued to turn and look elsewhere.
The rest of the people seemed to be having a good conversation, and subconsciously took a few more glances at Ji Zhong, seeing his flushed face this morning, they felt relieved.
Wang Dahu can be regarded as a kind of leader here, as soon as he sat down here, several people gathered around and chatted nonsense.Sometimes Wang Dahu would laugh out loud, and when he was teased, he would wave his fists a few times with a smile.
But no matter how many people there are, the final topic will still focus on the end of the season. Wang Dahu will explain it to people over and over again. When they came over again, Wang Li finally appeared again.
Because Wang Li was too busy, his face was hot and humid, and he pushed aside the crowd to come to the side of Ji Mo and Wang Dahu, "I just told Sun Bing, Dahu, you will hand over Xiao Mo to Xiao Mo later." He's fine." After speaking, he turned around and went back to work.
At the end of the season, I haven't had time to say a word of thanks.
The master of Zhu's house is Zhu Yunxing, one of the three richest people in Heshun, but more than ten years ago he was still a penniless poor boy.
A few years ago, there was a war in Dayun Kingdom, Zhu Yunxing did a lot of speculative things, but managed to get a little fame and built a small treasury for himself.Later, he used his small treasury to help Master Shang Shu during the war.
After the war subsided, Shangshu became the uncle of the country. With the help of the uncle of the country, Zhu Yunxing also changed from a small businessman to a profiteer with a fortune. Since ancient times, there must be a reliable contact point between officials and businessmen. Zhu Yunxing got the uncle of the country. The favor of Luo Yuhuan, another daughter of the Lord, is destined to rise to the top.
Because Uncle Guo is afraid that the tree will attract the wind, Zhu Yunxing will settle down in a peaceful family after marrying Luo Yuhuan.
But Luo Yuhuan has never had a child after marriage. Although Luo Yuhuan is arrogant and domineering by nature, she understands the truth and knows that if this situation continues, it will definitely not be good for her.
He is Shangshu's daughter, so no one dares to criticize him directly, but he has been ridiculed and humiliated many times behind his back. When Luo Shangshu talked to her no less than ten times, Luo Yuhuan finally nodded and agreed, and sent his dowry maid Wu Fenger Marry Zhu Yunxing and be a child.
Zhu Yunxing went from being submissive and pushy at the beginning to accepting it calmly in the end.
But it's not just Wu Feng'er who married, but also the pregnant Su Arui.
Su Arui, the former singer of the world, and Zhu Yunxing's fate is purely a cliché of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, just because he is pregnant with Zhu Yunxing's child, the name of the second grandmother of the Su family has been confirmed.
Wu Feng'er became the third grandmother.
Zhu Yunxing was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the first place. He had a wife when he was in his hometown, but he kept it a secret for his own future. enchanting?
Soon after, Su Arui gave birth to Zhu Qiwu, and Luo Yuhuan conceived a child half a year later, but she gave birth to a daughter named Zhu Xiangyu.Another year later, Luo Yuhuan became pregnant again, and heaven blesses the birth of a young master this time, that is, Zhu Yuan, the fourth young master of the Zhu Mansion.
The third grandma, Wu Feng'er, has nothing to show up to now.
I wish the family is fairly peaceful, except for the huge scandal that broke out last night.
Eight years after Luo Yuhuan gave birth to Zhu Banruo, Zhu Yanhui, the son of Zhu Yunxing's first spouse, appeared at the gate of Zhu's house. Although he had read his own history back then, but seeing the look in Zhu Yanhui's eyes, he was still completely puzzled.
In any case, from that day on, the whole house became noisy.
Zhu Qiwu changed from the original eldest young master to the second young master, and so on, the second young lady became the third young lady, and the third young master became the fourth young master...
The young master who appeared out of thin air, if he was tough and domineering, it would be fine, but he was still a soft bone.
The entire Zhu family knew that they had the most unfavored, most irritated young master who could be bullied by anyone who saw him.
At the end of the season, what I did this time was this young master's book boy.
Zhu Yanhui is already 17 years old. In modern times, he is already a high school student, and he has already missed the golden period of learning in this era.Master Zhu is a face-saving person after all, even if he doesn't like the whole son, even if this inexplicable son has brought him a lot of shame from all sides, he still hired a teacher for him.
But a few of them did not exceed three days in a row, and they stopped appearing.The people below also have different opinions on this situation. Some people say that the madam is behind the scenes and does not want the young master to study, and some say that the young master has an elm head and is not enlightened.
No matter what kind of statement it is, it all has an expression of gloating.Originally, it was the fate of the grassroots, so why did they have a father who was so successful? !
At this time, Ji Mo was walking with Sun Bing and several other people on the stone road leading to the young master's yard.
The courtyard of Zhufu Mansion is very large, the main entrance faces south, and there is a main road paved with marble leading directly to the inside.When the main road extends to the middle of the mansion, it divides into four parts, one goes east, one goes west, and the other two go northeast and northwest respectively. The entire courtyard is roughly divided into five sections.
In addition to the main road, there are flower trails or green paths connecting various areas.Although the layout is a bit old-fashioned and stubborn, the scenery and style can still be superior, which is a rare good scene.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is only good that the people who see it have this kind of heart.
A few people chatted about something in a mess, most of which were friendship supplements for the newcomer at the end of the season.In addition, they all attached a sympathetic look, pretending not to see it at the end of the season.
At the end of the season, he listened quietly, and when appropriate, he would ask a question or two, purely to express the curiosity of a young man, and the questions he asked were also related to his immediate interests, such as how is the young master's temper, is he okay? Get along, how much is the usual monthly salary, do you have time to go out of the house, when can anyone go home to visit relatives... a lot of mess.
Several people took turns to answer him, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Not long after, a few people arrived outside a stone arched corridor. The black wooden door was closed tightly, and the rusty door knocker carried some quaint depression. At the end of the season, he frowned subconsciously. I don't know if it was an illusion, a very strong gloomy breath.
The thriving ivy tangled around, stretched out its tentacles and stretched its teeth and claws. At the end of the season, I finally knew why this thing was called a climbing 'tiger'. The denseness seemed to seal the entrance in the next moment.
Although it is lush and lush, it seems lifeless, corresponding to the dark wooden door, and there is not much sense of disobedience.
The author has something to say: So...the plot seems to be making no progress ==
we punish ourselves

11. Chapter [-] tasks ([-])...
Sun Bing glanced at the end of the season, and finally decided to knock on the door by himself. After a while, a messy head came out of the door, blinking a pair of big eyes and looking at everyone with puzzled faces, and finally looked at Sun Bing , "Brother Sun, is there something wrong?"
Sun Bing gave him a blank look, and pushed Ji Mo who was behind him forward, "This is the book boy assigned by Steward Zhang to the eldest young master. He asked you to pick him up in the afternoon, and he said he was sick? I think he is in good spirits! "
The big eyes rolled around twice, scratched his head again, looked at Ji Mo in front of him and finally came out from behind the gate, and smiled at Sun Bing again, "It's much better now after resting for an afternoon, it's okay." The obviously perfunctory tone made people unable to vent their anger.
Sun Bing didn't say much, "Xiao Mo, this is Xiao Ai, tell him if you have anything to do in the future, if he can't solve it, go to Wang Dahu." He glanced at Xiao Ai, turned around and walked away with the brothers behind him up.
Xiao Ai quickly shouted, "Brother Sun, go slowly! Come and play when you have time!"
At the end of the season, there are black lines all over his head. Who told him that everyone in this yard is being bullied?Anyone who pops out at random is a troublemaker.
But he was wrong, this person definitely didn’t pop out randomly, because there are only two people in the entire Dongyuan Garden, one is this young man named Xiao Ai, and the other is the master of this garden, the young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yanhui .
Sun Bing left, only Ji Mo and Xiao Ai were left at the same place and began to look at each other blatantly. Xiao Ai was not very old, but she was definitely older than the eight-year-old Ji Xiaoyao. Because of her seniority, she also looked mature. many.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has a pair of big red phoenix eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, his face is delicate, his skin is fair, his body is slender, and he looks a little more frail. When he arrives, he will definitely sneer and call him feminine.
Xiao Ai is also looking at the child in front of her at this time. At the age of eight or nine, her eyes are quiet and scary in the night. She has no other facial features except male and female. She is of average height, with thin arms and legs, like He is a person who can write. Look at his body... I am afraid that he will not be able to do physical work in the future. I hope he can bite people.
Xiao Ai curled her lips, and wanted to turn her face away, but after thinking about it for a while, she turned around and looked, "What's your name?"
"The end of the season." Two short words.
"My name is Xiao Ai. From now on, you can call me Brother Xiao Ai. Come in first." Xiao Ai didn't struggle with the name, turned sideways to let Ji Mo in, and closed the door behind herself.
At the end of the season, with a coffin face, he secretly scolded this person for being shameless.
The two of them didn't talk after that, and Xiao Ai walked forward with Ji Mo all the way, at a very slow speed, as if hanging out after eating.At the end of the season, he was not in a hurry, and slowly looked at the scenery in the yard.
After looking at it, I realized that the creepers outside the yard protrude from the inside of the yard. The outside is lush to a gloomy level, and the inside is even more conceivable. Not only the word lush can describe these creepers. The direct feeling is "acting recklessly."
The structure of the yard is very simple. The main house faces south. To the west are three side-by-side houses. At the end of the season, I glanced at it. This is where he will sleep and eat in the future. To the east is a garden, which occupies most of the yard. Moon Shadow Under the whirling, the dark fragrance floats, which is somewhat poetic. This place is not bad!At the moment, the mood has risen a little bit.
Xiao Ai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked back at Ji Mo, "What were you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh!"
"you laughed."
"I really didn't laugh." The expression at the end of the season was quite serious.
"Believe me, you really laughed." Xiao Ai's expression was quite serious.
For a while, the two looked at each other without speaking.
……
"I said you laughed, but you just laughed." Xiaoai left without saying a word.
Looking at his back at the end of the season, is it going to start soon?He shook his head and followed.
"I'll take you to see the young master now." Xiao Ai walked straight forward, saying as she walked.
"Are there any special rules that need to be paid attention to, such as not raising your head, not showing your nostrils when you speak." The end of the season quickly followed.
"Where do so many rules come from, just answer whatever you are asked."
"understood."
"I don't know if you don't tell me. I must have heard some strange rumors outside."
"Is what they said true?" The pace was a little fast, and it was a bit laborious to follow at the end of the season.
"Why do you ask me if you have eyes and ears? What others say is other people's business. It has nothing to do with you. At least it has nothing to do with this winter garden. Just do what you have to do."
"Although what others say may not be all correct, but at least it can serve as a reference and comparison. There are reasons for groundless rumors, and everything has cause and effect." Ji Mo panted slightly.
Xiao Ai's footsteps stopped, and she looked back at him, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes couldn't be seen clearly, as long as she wasn't the friendly type.
Ji Mo's pace followed him and stopped for a while, and the two looked at each other again, but they were interrupted after a short time.
"Xiao Ai, who is he?"
The voice came from the garden on the right. Both of them turned their eyes back to look at it. One of them stood tall and tall under the moonlight. He was wearing a plain white gown without wind, and his back was facing the light source, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
Xiao Ai turned around and looked at the figure with a relaxed expression, "Master."
At the end of the season, it seemed that he was not limited by etiquette, and he didn't know if he could get this honor, so he bowed his head and said, "Master."
"Who is he?"
Xiao Ai raised her head, "Steward Zhang gave us a boy in the winter garden, and said that it was the book boy that the master found for the young master, named Ji Mo."
"The end of the season?"
At this moment, Ji Mo threw all the rumors outside to the Yellow River. Although he couldn't see his face clearly with his head down, he could draw some conclusions based on the glance just now.
The material of the clothes is indeed not good, and it may be the kind that can be seen everywhere on the street, but the body wrapped in the clothes is indeed straight and healthy, and there is no sign of chronic illness. Although the voice is a bit hoarse, it is obvious that a man of this age The characteristics that children should have, the tone of voice is playful, but it brings out some arrogance.
At the end of the season, I finally came to the conclusion that even if I was not favored, it would never be embarrassing.
At the end of the season, I lamented in my heart, Xiao Ai, you are indeed right.
He continued to lower his head, listening to the footsteps at the other end getting closer and closer, feeling a little nervous, this one is his future boss?But it seems to offend people on the first day, how can this be good...
"Since it was delivered by Butler Zhang, it will be my family from now on, so I need to take care of it more, so there is no need to be polite."
At the end of the season, he still didn't look up. He knew how close the pair of muddy shoes were to him, so he took a step back and said, "Thank you, young master. "
"Since you are here to be a book boy, you must be able to read and write?" The muddy hand reached out to Ji Mo's chin and lifted it forcefully.
Xiao Ai suppressed a smile from the side. She had never seen this master so childish before, and she really learned a lot.
Here I heard the end of the season seriously reply: "When I was at home, I took classes with my husband for a few days, and I can still recognize the more commonly used characters."
Following the strength of Zhu Yanhui's fingers can be regarded as seeing the person's appearance clearly. Although Ji Mo doesn't know how to look at the face, he also knows that Zhu Yanhui's face is indeed a bit colder, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips , according to modern standards, the height should be about 178, and the moon-white gown outlines a thin outline, which is a bit elegant of a literati.
But why were three gentlemen kicked out in succession?
Ji Mo smiled at him stiffly.
Zhu Yanhui shot back, leaving two fingerprints on Ji Mo's face, one on the left and one on the right, it was really funny.
Zhu Yanhui seems to be very satisfied with what he did, after admiring it for a while, he finally had enough, facing Xiao Ai, "Tomorrow you will clean up my study with the end of the season, and the old man will find me a book boy Well, this book...you still have to read it once before you can get by."
After finishing speaking, he waved his fan and walked away, "Tell him the rules of our garden. If you break one, you can go out from here."
At the end of the last syllable, the door of the main house closed with a bang.
At the end of the season, my heart has already started to twitch, not physically, but psychologically. Is this the young master who is so weak that everyone can kick him?
Turning to Xiao Ai, "Brother Xiao Ai, I will trouble you in the future." His voice was indescribably soft and his appearance was quite well-behaved, but Xiao Ai looked at this scene a little strangely, with an indescribable feeling, so he ignored him. Changed the direction and walked towards the side room on the east side.
Zhu's family is also a big family in Heshun. The mansion is big, there are many people, and there are naturally many rules.The servants, maids, book boys, nursing homes, masters, and old ladies are also divided into quite detailed.
What does the servant have to do, what does the servant girl have to do, who is responsible for what happens, they are all carefully and clearly listed, but although the rules of the winter garden are not too many, But it was eerily terrifying.
According to the understanding of the end of the quarter, it can be divided into the following points:
First: When you see maids and servants in other yards, you should first say hello and show your kindness.
Second: When meeting with a servant girl in another yard by chance, you must take the initiative to give way (this includes both internal and external meanings).
Third: No matter who you are dealing with, you must not fight back when you hit or scold you.
After Xiao Ai said these words, she began to sit quietly waiting for the rebuttal at the end of the season, but the other party was unexpectedly calm, neither furious nor unbelievable, on the contrary, she was surprised.
"You don't have anything to ask?" Xiao Ai couldn't sit still.
Sitting upright at the end of the season, with an innocent expression in his clear eyes, he looked at Xiao Ai and shook his head.
"Aren't you surprised?" Xiao Ai went further.
At the end of the season, he thought about it and shook his head again.
"Okay, wash up and go to bed." After Xiao Ai finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house, holding a wooden basin in her hand.
Ji Mo stared at him step by step towards the well, without daring to blink, now only Xiao Ai's back was left in his eyes, and he could even see clearly the arc of his hair blown by the wind, Heartbeat slowly accelerated.
At the end of the season, he held his heart, breathed slowly, and gradually calmed down.
When the frequency is normal, he starts to laugh at himself, knowing that it is impossible for the second time to happen, but he still has to worry, but... the scene of last night is still lingering in his mind.
He didn't see what was in the well, but it was more uncomfortable than seeing it, seeing memories that may be intentional or unintentional, but if you don't see it, you will have endless imagination...
imagining what that is...
"Xiao Ai!" Ji Mo stood up and called out.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ai turned around in confusion. If she was asking about what happened just now, her reaction would be unusually slow.
"Wait for me, let's fetch water together." At the end of the season, he found another wooden basin in the corner of the wall in a panic.
Xiao Ai was expressionless, "Then hurry up!"
The corner of the mouth raised a slight arc, feeling that it would be nice to have a companion.
Trotted over at the end of the season, what he was thinking now was: it is better to overcome this psychological obstacle sooner or later.
The author has something to say: I finally caught up... Huhu, climb back and continue ==
12. Tasks of Chapter [-] and [-] ([-])...
This is the case here at the end of the season, and the rest of the people can be imagined. Li Gongsheng was taken back by Erduo at noon.
At this time, Li Gongsheng was sitting on a chair, facing Erduo.
The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Erduo moved her lips and spoke first.
Li Gongsheng was a little nervous, secretly pinching the two hands placed under the table.
The two were expressionless, and carried out the following series of conversations in extremely slow tones:
"Xiao Sheng, it's getting dark..."
Li Gongsheng's fingertips were trembling slightly, he turned his head stiffly to look outside the door, and then turned stiffly again, "Yeah, it seems to be dark..."
"Yeah, it's time to go to bed. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, Xiaosheng, go fetch water and wash your face..."
"Er Duo, in fact, I don't even have the habit of washing my face when I sleep, I just go to bed and sleep..."
"Really? Then this habit needs to be changed now. It's not good to be like this all the time, and you won't be able to find a wife in the future..."
"I think, my wife won't mind if I don't wash my face at night..."
"Since you don't wash your face, you have to wash your feet...Xiao Sheng, go fetch water and wash your feet..."
"Erduo, you also need to wash...or let's go together..."
"Okay...Since they all need to be washed, let's go together..."
The two slowly dawdled and finally reached the edge of the well, facing each other, Er Duo was always smiling, and this time the smile was even bigger, but the reflection of the sparkling water made Li Gongsheng on the opposite side shudder.
"Erduo, can you stop laughing? I'm afraid."
Erduo's laughter stopped immediately, and her expression was rarely serious, "I'll count one, two, three and let's look down together."
Li Gongsheng swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Erduo stared at Li Gongsheng's eyes and counted up and down. Before counting to three after counting two, someone shouted from behind:
"Why are you two brats standing by the well without sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads.
Erduo smiled, "So it's Brother Daquan, are you fetching water?"
"Can't you watch the moon without fetching water at night? You two just get out of the way if you don't fetch water, don't pile up here to get in the way!"
Erduo couldn't wish for it, Li Gongsheng had already stepped aside, Qian Daquan was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, he threw the handkerchief over his shoulder and walked over with the basin in hand.
After Qian Daquan left, the two of them didn't say a word, and they were busy with their own work. When they were both lying on the bed, Erduo took a look at Li Gongsheng who was still breaking his toes, "Remember to put your toes on when you sleep. The light blew out."
Turned over and fell asleep, and slept until dawn.
The water well incident has never been mentioned, as if it had never happened, and it was like a magic mirror, only those few people went in, and after they came out, they began to convince themselves that those things were just clouds.
But the facts must be the facts, like a thorn buried in the flesh, it doesn't matter if you don't touch it or poke him, but it still hurts when you think about it.Several people lived day after day in this fear.
Although there are three young masters in the Zhu family, the only one who really lives in the courtyard is the eldest, Zhu Yanhui.
The second child, Zhu Qiwu, was sent by Master Zhu to study abroad a year ago, and he came back half a year ago. I don’t know when he will come back next time. Suoqiu Garden has also been vacant since a year ago.
Erduo, Zhu Qiwu's personal servant, also lives in the backyard of Zhu's mansion for this reason.
But the housekeeper Zhang Fugui assigned Li Gongsheng to Suoqiu Garden a few days ago. Does this indicate something?There were many speculations and discussions in the Zhu family secretly.
Zhu Banruo, the fourth young master of the Zhu family, was also not in the yard.According to the usual practice, every year in February and March, just after the New Year, and when spring is approaching, he will stay with his dignified grandfather in Toyosu for a while.
According to the understanding at the end of the season, one is because the uncle of the country wanted to win over Zhu Banruo when he was a child. According to the thinking of contemporary people, even if he becomes rich in business, it is not a big prospect.At the beginning, a daughter had already been lost, but the grandson wanted to keep it no matter what.
In addition, the two parents of the Zhu family tacitly agreed to make friends with high-ranking officials, which is a great blessing for the entire Zhu family.
With the loss of two masters, even if the life in the yard is dirty, it will not be shown on the surface, and everyone is happy.
Originally, the so-called book boy meant that you listened to the young master when he was reading, watched the young master when he was writing, accompanied the young master when he was playing, and stood up to the young master when he made mistakes.
This is what normal schoolchildren do, but when it comes to Zhu Yanhui, or at the end of the season, it changes completely.
Since the three gentlemen left in the winter garden, there is no new one this month. Zhu Yanhui has free time, and all she has to do is walk around the spacious study room, occasionally flipping through and writing a few words. Words are thrown away immediately after writing, or burned on a candle.
Most of the books I read are mountain magazines and the like, and the Four Books and Five Classics are used to pad the legs of the table.What Xiao Ai meant was, who made these books so thick, our young master has grown taller, why is this table still so short?
When Zhu Yanhui heard what he said, she just glanced at him, and continued to watch the rain beating peonies in the yard through the window.
Ji Mo’s stomach twitched this time, and all three of them knew that Ji Mo was the one who used the table the most, because he had to wipe it three times a day in the morning, noon, and night, three times each time, once with hot water, once with cold water, and dry. The rag is wiping again.Moreover, it is a full-service, and any corner of the table legs or even the back will not be missed.
What Zhu Yanhui has to do is to walk to the front of the desk when he has nothing to do, stretch out a slender finger, draw it straight from the beginning to the end according to the diagonal position of the desk, and finally stare at the finger, if there is any dissatisfaction If not, the workload of the day at the end of the quarter will increase.
Among other things, end-of-season to-dos include wiping down bookcases.The bookcase can be said to be the most valuable item in the whole Dongyuan Garden. The high-quality pear blossom wood has a rich feel and beautiful texture. Of course, the weight is beyond the reach of ordinary bookcases.
Now at the end of the season, I hate Li Huamu and bookcases to the core. The reason is that one day, at noon in good weather, when the young master Zhu Yanhui was checking the sanitation, he accidentally found a netting in the corner of the bookshelf. spider.
So there is one more task at the end of the season, that is, on sunny days, every three days, the bookshelves have to be carried out and exposed to the sun for two hours.
This means that every three days at the end of the season, all the books will be removed from the bookshelves, and then the thick and expensive pear wood bookshelves will be pulled under the sun. After two hours, the bookcases will be pulled back in the same way, and then Then put all the books back.
The order is not allowed to be chaotic, the arrangement should be neat, and the overall look should be beautiful.
A month later, Ji Mo felt that his physique had rapidly improved from barely sub-healthy to absolutely healthy, his complexion was ruddy, and his body also grew a little taller. Ji Mo held his right hand to hold the wrist of his left hand.It seems to be a little fatter.
At the end of the season, I looked up at the sky: Am I really a masochist...
The author has something to say: Gu~~(╯﹏╰) the number of words is just a cloud~~~
13. Chapter [-] tasks ([-])...
At the end of the season, he seldom goes out since he came to the Winter Garden. He has too many things to do. After leaving this gate, who can guarantee that he will be there when he is called?
He hasn't figured out Zhu Yanhui's temper yet, and he should try to avoid anything that is not good for him. When he is free, he will also think about whether to visit Xiaohu and the others. After all, it has been a month and he doesn't know them. How is life going, but Zhu Yanhui would ruthlessly interrupt every time this thought came up, either the table was dirty or something strange was found on the bookshelf.
After coming down two or three times, I lost interest at the end of the season.
Today is a rainy day, and the rain in April is already a little muggy.Zhu Yanhui walked in the garden with an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, staring blankly at Yingchun, who had already failed.
Xiao Ai didn't know what to do in the kitchen by herself, and was busy walking around.
At this time, the heavy door rang three times, but no one cared.
At the end of Ji, he stood in the hall and looked at Zhu Yanhui in the garden, then at Xiao Ai in the kitchen, and finally ran to open the door with his sleeves covering his head.
Standing outside the door was Hei Xiaohu.
Hei Xiaohu's body was covered with rain, and the moment he saw the end of the season, he also shone with brilliance, and he shouted, "Xiao Yao!"
At the end of Ji, he was taken aback for a moment before letting him in. He took the umbrella in his hand and asked, "Why are you here?" Somewhat strange and somewhat happy, this is the first acquaintance he has seen in this period of time .
Hei Xiaohu looked at him and laughed, "You don't even want to visit me, I'll just visit you."
"Let's go inside the house first." Ji Mo felt a little ashamed, shook the water droplets on the umbrella, opened it again, took Hei Xiaohu's hand and rushed into the rain.
Hei Xiaohu followed him, his two little black heads pressed together under the small umbrella, intimately.
Zhu Yanhui straightened up from the devastation, and saw the two teenagers running in the yard holding hands, frowning slightly.
After entering the house, Ji Mo directly threw a towel to Hei Xiaohu, "Dry your hair first, and I'll see if there are any clothes you can wear here." Then he hurriedly searched for it.
Hei Xiaohu was already taller and stronger than him. Although he was indeed much stronger during the one-month training at the end of the season, he was still not at the same level as Hei Xiaohu.
Hei Xiaohu pulled him back, "Don't look for Xiaoyao, I'll be fine when I fish in the river in spring, how could Xiao Yu get sick at this point, please talk to me." Looking forward to the end of the season.
Think about it at the end of the season, "Okay, if you get sick, don't tell your elder brother that it's because of me."
"Absolutely not!" Hei Xiaohu promised, grinning his teeth and patting his chest.
After looking around, there are three houses on the west side of the winter garden, one for the kitchen and one for storing sundries. At the end of the season, I live with Xiao Ai in the one closest to the main house.
"You guys are so kind!" Hei Xiaohu exclaimed.
At the end of the season, he was busy pouring water. Hearing what he said, he raised his head, "It's okay, it's okay if you follow your elder brother?" He handed over a cup of hot water.
Hei Xiaohu didn't like the heat and put it on the table, "The place where my brother and I live can't compare with yours. The people living there are all old men. It's enough for one person to stretch out one foot to sleep at night. You don’t even wear clothes when you’re wandering outside.”
After looking around, his eyes fell on Ji Mo's face again, and he looked at him from top to bottom, "You're not bad, you've grown taller."
season
Several people who were drinking soup with big names saw Wang Dahu and didn't care to speak. They just reached out to greet him, and Wang Dahu waved back in response.
At this time, a small, well-groomed boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old leaned over, smiled, looked at Wang Dahu, and then at Ji Mo beside him, "Brother Wang, who is this?" Wandering around the mountains at the end of the season.
At the end of the season, he felt slightly uncomfortable. The child's gaze was too strange. Now he shrank his neck subconsciously, as if he was stripping naked and running naked in front of hundreds of people.
Who would have thought that the child suddenly laughed, too much, and in the end he squatted on the ground covering his stomach, and gave him a sideways glance at the end of the season, is it funny?He looked at Wang Dahu puzzled, what's going on?
"Xiao Li, this is the end of the season. At the end of the season, this is the director of the canteen, Wang Li." He looked at Wang Li again, "Don't laugh, I know you're not as thick-skinned as you, hurry up and find something to eat, I'm hungry. "
Wang Li straightened up, "Which yard is this kid from? Couldn't he be following you?"
Wang Dahu rolled his eyes at him, and then sighed softly, his voice was so small that it was barely audible, "It was sent to Zhedong Garden, originally there was going to send people over there today, but now he is sick, so I took him Come over and have a meal first, and then see who will drop him off."
Wang Li looked at the end of the season again, "This child's name is interesting, but when you come to this yard, there are plenty of people to play with you, and you will never be lonely, especially the young master, it is absolutely lively." Suddenly With a smile, in this noisy dining hall is like in a dilapidated manor, a pear tree is in full bloom.
At the end of the season, he felt that the wind was particularly strong tonight, and it even got into his neck.He was clearly smiling, but he let out a cold air in a daze.
At the end of the season, he took a step back vigilantly. The instinct of the body is also following the wishes of the eight-year-old child.He doesn't need to deliberately suppress his actions now, the more frank he is, the safer he is.
Wang Dahu looked at him, but he didn't intend to help.
"Hey, you're still shy. That's enough. Brother won't tease you. Later, Sun Bing will deliver things to the second young master's room. You can ask Xiao Mo to follow." Looking down at the end of Ji slightly, "I call you Xiao Mo." No problem at the end."
Ji Mo bit her lip and nodded, it sounded much better than Xiao Yao.
The meal was not very good, but it made the end of the season realize that Wang Li is almost a well-rounded figure in this group of people. He can say a few witty words with anyone, and it is easy to ask for help Just a matter of saying something.
At the end of the season, he began to subconsciously search for the figures of the other people who came with him. Hei Xiaohu was chatting with a few older children. Holding a bowl, he didn't know what to say, his face turned red, and he seemed to be scratching his head in embarrassment.
When I turned my face, I saw the end of the season.This way, your chopsticks are coming this way, and a few people grabbed your clothes. In the end, you can only smile apologetically at the end of the season.
Ji Moyuan waved to him, then continued to turn and look elsewhere.
The rest of the people seemed to be having a good conversation, and subconsciously took a few more glances at Ji Zhong, seeing his flushed face this morning, they felt relieved.
Wang Dahu can be regarded as a kind of leader here, as soon as he sat down here, several people gathered around and chatted nonsense.Sometimes Wang Dahu would laugh out loud, and when he was teased, he would wave his fists a few times with a smile.
But no matter how many people there are, the final topic will still focus on the end of the season. Wang Dahu will explain it to people over and over again. When they came over again, Wang Li finally appeared again.
Because Wang Li was too busy, his face was hot and humid, and he pushed aside the crowd to come to the side of Ji Mo and Wang Dahu, "I just told Sun Bing, Dahu, you will hand over Xiao Mo to Xiao Mo later." He's fine." After speaking, he turned around and went back to work.
At the end of the season, I haven't had time to say a word of thanks.
The master of Zhu's house is Zhu Yunxing, one of the three richest people in Heshun, but more than ten years ago he was still a penniless poor boy.
A few years ago, there was a war in Dayun Kingdom, Zhu Yunxing did a lot of speculative things, but managed to get a little fame and built a small treasury for himself.Later, he used his small treasury to help Master Shang Shu during the war.
After the war subsided, Shangshu became the uncle of the country. With the help of the uncle of the country, Zhu Yunxing also changed from a small businessman to a profiteer with a fortune. Since ancient times, there must be a reliable contact point between officials and businessmen. Zhu Yunxing got the uncle of the country. The favor of Luo Yuhuan, another daughter of the Lord, is destined to rise to the top.
Because Uncle Guo is afraid that the tree will attract the wind, Zhu Yunxing will settle down in a peaceful family after marrying Luo Yuhuan.
But Luo Yuhuan has never had a child after marriage. Although Luo Yuhuan is arrogant and domineering by nature, she understands the truth and knows that if this situation continues, it will definitely not be good for her.
He is Shangshu's daughter, so no one dares to criticize him directly, but he has been ridiculed and humiliated many times behind his back. When Luo Shangshu talked to her no less than ten times, Luo Yuhuan finally nodded and agreed, and sent his dowry maid Wu Fenger Marry Zhu Yunxing and be a child.
Zhu Yunxing went from being submissive and pushy at the beginning to accepting it calmly in the end.
But it's not just Wu Feng'er who married, but also the pregnant Su Arui.
Su Arui, the former singer of the world, and Zhu Yunxing's fate is purely a cliché of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, just because he is pregnant with Zhu Yunxing's child, the name of the second grandmother of the Su family has been confirmed.
Wu Feng'er became the third grandmother.
Zhu Yunxing was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the first place. He had a wife when he was in his hometown, but he kept it a secret for his own future. enchanting?
Soon after, Su Arui gave birth to Zhu Qiwu, and Luo Yuhuan conceived a child half a year later, but she gave birth to a daughter named Zhu Xiangyu.Another year later, Luo Yuhuan became pregnant again, and heaven blesses the birth of a young master this time, that is, Zhu Yuan, the fourth young master of the Zhu Mansion.
The third grandma, Wu Feng'er, has nothing to show up to now.
I wish the family is fairly peaceful, except for the huge scandal that broke out last night.
Eight years after Luo Yuhuan gave birth to Zhu Banruo, Zhu Yanhui, the son of Zhu Yunxing's first spouse, appeared at the gate of Zhu's house. Although he had read his own history back then, but seeing the look in Zhu Yanhui's eyes, he was still completely puzzled.
In any case, from that day on, the whole house became noisy.
Zhu Qiwu changed from the original eldest young master to the second young master, and so on, the second young lady became the third young lady, and the third young master became the fourth young master...
The young master who appeared out of thin air, if he was tough and domineering, it would be fine, but he was still a soft bone.
The entire Zhu family knew that they had the most unfavored, most irritated young master who could be bullied by anyone who saw him.
At the end of the season, what I did this time was this young master's book boy.
Zhu Yanhui is already 17 years old. In modern times, he is already a high school student, and he has already missed the golden period of learning in this era.Master Zhu is a face-saving person after all, even if he doesn't like the whole son, even if this inexplicable son has brought him a lot of shame from all sides, he still hired a teacher for him.
But a few of them did not exceed three days in a row, and they stopped appearing.The people below also have different opinions on this situation. Some people say that the madam is behind the scenes and does not want the young master to study, and some say that the young master has an elm head and is not enlightened.
No matter what kind of statement it is, it all has an expression of gloating.Originally, it was the fate of the grassroots, so why did they have a father who was so successful? !
At this time, Ji Mo was walking with Sun Bing and several other people on the stone road leading to the young master's yard.
The courtyard of Zhufu Mansion is very large, the main entrance faces south, and there is a main road paved with marble leading directly to the inside.When the main road extends to the middle of the mansion, it divides into four parts, one goes east, one goes west, and the other two go northeast and northwest respectively. The entire courtyard is roughly divided into five sections.
In addition to the main road, there are flower trails or green paths connecting various areas.Although the layout is a bit old-fashioned and stubborn, the scenery and style can still be superior, which is a rare good scene.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is only good that the people who see it have this kind of heart.
A few people chatted about something in a mess, most of which were friendship supplements for the newcomer at the end of the season.In addition, they all attached a sympathetic look, pretending not to see it at the end of the season.
At the end of the season, he listened quietly, and when appropriate, he would ask a question or two, purely to express the curiosity of a young man, and the questions he asked were also related to his immediate interests, such as how is the young master's temper, is he okay? Get along, how much is the usual monthly salary, do you have time to go out of the house, when can anyone go home to visit relatives... a lot of mess.
Several people took turns to answer him, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Not long after, a few people arrived outside a stone arched corridor. The black wooden door was closed tightly, and the rusty door knocker carried some quaint depression. At the end of the season, he frowned subconsciously. I don't know if it was an illusion, a very strong gloomy breath.
The thriving ivy tangled around, stretched out its tentacles and stretched its teeth and claws. At the end of the season, I finally knew why this thing was called a climbing 'tiger'. The denseness seemed to seal the entrance in the next moment.
Although it is lush and lush, it seems lifeless, corresponding to the dark wooden door, and there is not much sense of disobedience.
The author has something to say: So...the plot seems to be making no progress ==
we punish ourselves

11. Chapter [-] tasks ([-])...
Sun Bing glanced at the end of the season, and finally decided to knock on the door by himself. After a while, a messy head came out of the door, blinking a pair of big eyes and looking at everyone with puzzled faces, and finally looked at Sun Bing , "Brother Sun, is there something wrong?"
Sun Bing gave him a blank look, and pushed Ji Mo who was behind him forward, "This is the book boy assigned by Steward Zhang to the eldest young master. He asked you to pick him up in the afternoon, and he said he was sick? I think he is in good spirits! "
The big eyes rolled around twice, scratched his head again, looked at Ji Mo in front of him and finally came out from behind the gate, and smiled at Sun Bing again, "It's much better now after resting for an afternoon, it's okay." The obviously perfunctory tone made people unable to vent their anger.
Sun Bing didn't say much, "Xiao Mo, this is Xiao Ai, tell him if you have anything to do in the future, if he can't solve it, go to Wang Dahu." He glanced at Xiao Ai, turned around and walked away with the brothers behind him up.
Xiao Ai quickly shouted, "Brother Sun, go slowly! Come and play when you have time!"
At the end of the season, there are black lines all over his head. Who told him that everyone in this yard is being bullied?Anyone who pops out at random is a troublemaker.
But he was wrong, this person definitely didn’t pop out randomly, because there are only two people in the entire Dongyuan Garden, one is this young man named Xiao Ai, and the other is the master of this garden, the young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yanhui .
Sun Bing left, only Ji Mo and Xiao Ai were left at the same place and began to look at each other blatantly. Xiao Ai was not very old, but she was definitely older than the eight-year-old Ji Xiaoyao. Because of her seniority, she also looked mature. many.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has a pair of big red phoenix eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, his face is delicate, his skin is fair, his body is slender, and he looks a little more frail. When he arrives, he will definitely sneer and call him feminine.
Xiao Ai is also looking at the child in front of her at this time. At the age of eight or nine, her eyes are quiet and scary in the night. She has no other facial features except male and female. She is of average height, with thin arms and legs, like He is a person who can write. Look at his body... I am afraid that he will not be able to do physical work in the future. I hope he can bite people.
Xiao Ai curled her lips, and wanted to turn her face away, but after thinking about it for a while, she turned around and looked, "What's your name?"
"The end of the season." Two short words.
"My name is Xiao Ai. From now on, you can call me Brother Xiao Ai. Come in first." Xiao Ai didn't struggle with the name, turned sideways to let Ji Mo in, and closed the door behind herself.
At the end of the season, with a coffin face, he secretly scolded this person for being shameless.
The two of them didn't talk after that, and Xiao Ai walked forward with Ji Mo all the way, at a very slow speed, as if hanging out after eating.At the end of the season, he was not in a hurry, and slowly looked at the scenery in the yard.
After looking at it, I realized that the creepers outside the yard protrude from the inside of the yard. The outside is lush to a gloomy level, and the inside is even more conceivable. Not only the word lush can describe these creepers. The direct feeling is "acting recklessly."
The structure of the yard is very simple. The main house faces south. To the west are three side-by-side houses. At the end of the season, I glanced at it. This is where he will sleep and eat in the future. To the east is a garden, which occupies most of the yard. Moon Shadow Under the whirling, the dark fragrance floats, which is somewhat poetic. This place is not bad!At the moment, the mood has risen a little bit.
Xiao Ai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked back at Ji Mo, "What were you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh!"
"you laughed."
"I really didn't laugh." The expression at the end of the season was quite serious.
"Believe me, you really laughed." Xiao Ai's expression was quite serious.
For a while, the two looked at each other without speaking.
……
"I said you laughed, but you just laughed." Xiaoai left without saying a word.
Looking at his back at the end of the season, is it going to start soon?He shook his head and followed.
"I'll take you to see the young master now." Xiao Ai walked straight forward, saying as she walked.
"Are there any special rules that need to be paid attention to, such as not raising your head, not showing your nostrils when you speak." The end of the season quickly followed.
"Where do so many rules come from, just answer whatever you are asked."
"understood."
"I don't know if you don't tell me. I must have heard some strange rumors outside."
"Is what they said true?" The pace was a little fast, and it was a bit laborious to follow at the end of the season.
"Why do you ask me if you have eyes and ears? What others say is other people's business. It has nothing to do with you. At least it has nothing to do with this winter garden. Just do what you have to do."
"Although what others say may not be all correct, but at least it can serve as a reference and comparison. There are reasons for groundless rumors, and everything has cause and effect." Ji Mo panted slightly.
Xiao Ai's footsteps stopped, and she looked back at him, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes couldn't be seen clearly, as long as she wasn't the friendly type.
Ji Mo's pace followed him and stopped for a while, and the two looked at each other again, but they were interrupted after a short time.
"Xiao Ai, who is he?"
The voice came from the garden on the right. Both of them turned their eyes back to look at it. One of them stood tall and tall under the moonlight. He was wearing a plain white gown without wind, and his back was facing the light source, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
Xiao Ai turned around and looked at the figure with a relaxed expression, "Master."
At the end of the season, it seemed that he was not limited by etiquette, and he didn't know if he could get this honor, so he bowed his head and said, "Master."
"Who is he?"
Xiao Ai raised her head, "Steward Zhang gave us a boy in the winter garden, and said that it was the book boy that the master found for the young master, named Ji Mo."
"The end of the season?"
At this moment, Ji Mo threw all the rumors outside to the Yellow River. Although he couldn't see his face clearly with his head down, he could draw some conclusions based on the glance just now.
The material of the clothes is indeed not good, and it may be the kind that can be seen everywhere on the street, but the body wrapped in the clothes is indeed straight and healthy, and there is no sign of chronic illness. Although the voice is a bit hoarse, it is obvious that a man of this age The characteristics that children should have, the tone of voice is playful, but it brings out some arrogance.
At the end of the season, I finally came to the conclusion that even if I was not favored, it would never be embarrassing.
At the end of the season, I lamented in my heart, Xiao Ai, you are indeed right.
He continued to lower his head, listening to the footsteps at the other end getting closer and closer, feeling a little nervous, this one is his future boss?But it seems to offend people on the first day, how can this be good...
"Since it was delivered by Butler Zhang, it will be my family from now on, so I need to take care of it more, so there is no need to be polite."
At the end of the season, he still didn't look up. He knew how close the pair of muddy shoes were to him, so he took a step back and said, "Thank you, young master. "
"Since you are here to be a book boy, you must be able to read and write?" The muddy hand reached out to Ji Mo's chin and lifted it forcefully.
Xiao Ai suppressed a smile from the side. She had never seen this master so childish before, and she really learned a lot.
Here I heard the end of the season seriously reply: "When I was at home, I took classes with my husband for a few days, and I can still recognize the more commonly used characters."
Following the strength of Zhu Yanhui's fingers can be regarded as seeing the person's appearance clearly. Although Ji Mo doesn't know how to look at the face, he also knows that Zhu Yanhui's face is indeed a bit colder, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips , according to modern standards, the height should be about 178, and the moon-white gown outlines a thin outline, which is a bit elegant of a literati.
But why were three gentlemen kicked out in succession?
Ji Mo smiled at him stiffly.
Zhu Yanhui shot back, leaving two fingerprints on Ji Mo's face, one on the left and one on the right, it was really funny.
Zhu Yanhui seems to be very satisfied with what he did, after admiring it for a while, he finally had enough, facing Xiao Ai, "Tomorrow you will clean up my study with the end of the season, and the old man will find me a book boy Well, this book...you still have to read it once before you can get by."
After finishing speaking, he waved his fan and walked away, "Tell him the rules of our garden. If you break one, you can go out from here."
At the end of the last syllable, the door of the main house closed with a bang.
At the end of the season, my heart has already started to twitch, not physically, but psychologically. Is this the young master who is so weak that everyone can kick him?
Turning to Xiao Ai, "Brother Xiao Ai, I will trouble you in the future." His voice was indescribably soft and his appearance was quite well-behaved, but Xiao Ai looked at this scene a little strangely, with an indescribable feeling, so he ignored him. Changed the direction and walked towards the side room on the east side.
Zhu's family is also a big family in Heshun. The mansion is big, there are many people, and there are naturally many rules.The servants, maids, book boys, nursing homes, masters, and old ladies are also divided into quite detailed.
What does the servant have to do, what does the servant girl have to do, who is responsible for what happens, they are all carefully and clearly listed, but although the rules of the winter garden are not too many, But it was eerily terrifying.
According to the understanding of the end of the quarter, it can be divided into the following points:
First: When you see maids and servants in other yards, you should first say hello and show your kindness.
Second: When meeting with a servant girl in another yard by chance, you must take the initiative to give way (this includes both internal and external meanings).
Third: No matter who you are dealing with, you must not fight back when you hit or scold you.
After Xiao Ai said these words, she began to sit quietly waiting for the rebuttal at the end of the season, but the other party was unexpectedly calm, neither furious nor unbelievable, on the contrary, she was surprised.
"You don't have anything to ask?" Xiao Ai couldn't sit still.
Sitting upright at the end of the season, with an innocent expression in his clear eyes, he looked at Xiao Ai and shook his head.
"Aren't you surprised?" Xiao Ai went further.
At the end of the season, he thought about it and shook his head again.
"Okay, wash up and go to bed." After Xiao Ai finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house, holding a wooden basin in her hand.
Ji Mo stared at him step by step towards the well, without daring to blink, now only Xiao Ai's back was left in his eyes, and he could even see clearly the arc of his hair blown by the wind, Heartbeat slowly accelerated.
At the end of the season, he held his heart, breathed slowly, and gradually calmed down.
When the frequency is normal, he starts to laugh at himself, knowing that it is impossible for the second time to happen, but he still has to worry, but... the scene of last night is still lingering in his mind.
He didn't see what was in the well, but it was more uncomfortable than seeing it, seeing memories that may be intentional or unintentional, but if you don't see it, you will have endless imagination...
imagining what that is...
"Xiao Ai!" Ji Mo stood up and called out.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ai turned around in confusion. If she was asking about what happened just now, her reaction would be unusually slow.
"Wait for me, let's fetch water together." At the end of the season, he found another wooden basin in the corner of the wall in a panic.
Xiao Ai was expressionless, "Then hurry up!"
The corner of the mouth raised a slight arc, feeling that it would be nice to have a companion.
Trotted over at the end of the season, what he was thinking now was: it is better to overcome this psychological obstacle sooner or later.
The author has something to say: I finally caught up... Huhu, climb back and continue ==
12. Tasks of Chapter [-] and [-] ([-])...
This is the case here at the end of the season, and the rest of the people can be imagined. Li Gongsheng was taken back by Erduo at noon.
At this time, Li Gongsheng was sitting on a chair, facing Erduo.
The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Erduo moved her lips and spoke first.
Li Gongsheng was a little nervous, secretly pinching the two hands placed under the table.
The two were expressionless, and carried out the following series of conversations in extremely slow tones:
"Xiao Sheng, it's getting dark..."
Li Gongsheng's fingertips were trembling slightly, he turned his head stiffly to look outside the door, and then turned stiffly again, "Yeah, it seems to be dark..."
"Yeah, it's time to go to bed. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, Xiaosheng, go fetch water and wash your face..."
"Er Duo, in fact, I don't even have the habit of washing my face when I sleep, I just go to bed and sleep..."
"Really? Then this habit needs to be changed now. It's not good to be like this all the time, and you won't be able to find a wife in the future..."
"I think, my wife won't mind if I don't wash my face at night..."
"Since you don't wash your face, you have to wash your feet...Xiao Sheng, go fetch water and wash your feet..."
"Erduo, you also need to wash...or let's go together..."
"Okay...Since they all need to be washed, let's go together..."
The two slowly dawdled and finally reached the edge of the well, facing each other, Er Duo was always smiling, and this time the smile was even bigger, but the reflection of the sparkling water made Li Gongsheng on the opposite side shudder.
"Erduo, can you stop laughing? I'm afraid."
Erduo's laughter stopped immediately, and her expression was rarely serious, "I'll count one, two, three and let's look down together."
Li Gongsheng swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Erduo stared at Li Gongsheng's eyes and counted up and down. Before counting to three after counting two, someone shouted from behind:
"Why are you two brats standing by the well without sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads.
Erduo smiled, "So it's Brother Daquan, are you fetching water?"
"Can't you watch the moon without fetching water at night? You two just get out of the way if you don't fetch water, don't pile up here to get in the way!"
Erduo couldn't wish for it, Li Gongsheng had already stepped aside, Qian Daquan was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, he threw the handkerchief over his shoulder and walked over with the basin in hand.
After Qian Daquan left, the two of them didn't say a word, and they were busy with their own work. When they were both lying on the bed, Erduo took a look at Li Gongsheng who was still breaking his toes, "Remember to put your toes on when you sleep. The light blew out."
Turned over and fell asleep, and slept until dawn.
The water well incident has never been mentioned, as if it had never happened, and it was like a magic mirror, only those few people went in, and after they came out, they began to convince themselves that those things were just clouds.
But the facts must be the facts, like a thorn buried in the flesh, it doesn't matter if you don't touch it or poke him, but it still hurts when you think about it.Several people lived day after day in this fear.
Although there are three young masters in the Zhu family, the only one who really lives in the courtyard is the eldest, Zhu Yanhui.
The second child, Zhu Qiwu, was sent by Master Zhu to study abroad a year ago, and he came back half a year ago. I don’t know when he will come back next time. Suoqiu Garden has also been vacant since a year ago.
Erduo, Zhu Qiwu's personal servant, also lives in the backyard of Zhu's mansion for this reason.
But the housekeeper Zhang Fugui assigned Li Gongsheng to Suoqiu Garden a few days ago. Does this indicate something?There were many speculations and discussions in the Zhu family secretly.
Zhu Banruo, the fourth young master of the Zhu family, was also not in the yard.According to the usual practice, every year in February and March, just after the New Year, and when spring is approaching, he will stay with his dignified grandfather in Toyosu for a while.
According to the understanding at the end of the season, one is because the uncle of the country wanted to win over Zhu Banruo when he was a child. According to the thinking of contemporary people, even if he becomes rich in business, it is not a big prospect.At the beginning, a daughter had already been lost, but the grandson wanted to keep it no matter what.
In addition, the two parents of the Zhu family tacitly agreed to make friends with high-ranking officials, which is a great blessing for the entire Zhu family.
With the loss of two masters, even if the life in the yard is dirty, it will not be shown on the surface, and everyone is happy.
Originally, the so-called book boy meant that you listened to the young master when he was reading, watched the young master when he was writing, accompanied the young master when he was playing, and stood up to the young master when he made mistakes.
This is what normal schoolchildren do, but when it comes to Zhu Yanhui, or at the end of the season, it changes completely.
Since the three gentlemen left in the winter garden, there is no new one this month. Zhu Yanhui has free time, and all she has to do is walk around the spacious study room, occasionally flipping through and writing a few words. Words are thrown away immediately after writing, or burned on a candle.
Most of the books I read are mountain magazines and the like, and the Four Books and Five Classics are used to pad the legs of the table.What Xiao Ai meant was, who made these books so thick, our young master has grown taller, why is this table still so short?
When Zhu Yanhui heard what he said, she just glanced at him, and continued to watch the rain beating peonies in the yard through the window.
Ji Mo’s stomach twitched this time, and all three of them knew that Ji Mo was the one who used the table the most, because he had to wipe it three times a day in the morning, noon, and night, three times each time, once with hot water, once with cold water, and dry. The rag is wiping again.Moreover, it is a full-service, and any corner of the table legs or even the back will not be missed.
What Zhu Yanhui has to do is to walk to the front of the desk when he has nothing to do, stretch out a slender finger, draw it straight from the beginning to the end according to the diagonal position of the desk, and finally stare at the finger, if there is any dissatisfaction If not, the workload of the day at the end of the quarter will increase.
Among other things, end-of-season to-dos include wiping down bookcases.The bookcase can be said to be the most valuable item in the whole Dongyuan Garden. The high-quality pear blossom wood has a rich feel and beautiful texture. Of course, the weight is beyond the reach of ordinary bookcases.
Now at the end of the season, I hate Li Huamu and bookcases to the core. The reason is that one day, at noon in good weather, when the young master Zhu Yanhui was checking the sanitation, he accidentally found a netting in the corner of the bookshelf. spider.
So there is one more task at the end of the season, that is, on sunny days, every three days, the bookshelves have to be carried out and exposed to the sun for two hours.
This means that every three days at the end of the season, all the books will be removed from the bookshelves, and then the thick and expensive pear wood bookshelves will be pulled under the sun. After two hours, the bookcases will be pulled back in the same way, and then Then put all the books back.
The order is not allowed to be chaotic, the arrangement should be neat, and the overall look should be beautiful.
A month later, Ji Mo felt that his physique had rapidly improved from barely sub-healthy to absolutely healthy, his complexion was ruddy, and his body also grew a little taller. Ji Mo held his right hand to hold the wrist of his left hand.It seems to be a little fatter.
At the end of the season, I looked up at the sky: Am I really a masochist...
The author has something to say: Gu~~(╯﹏╰) the number of words is just a cloud~~~
13. Chapter [-] tasks ([-])...
At the end of the season, he seldom goes out since he came to the Winter Garden. He has too many things to do. After leaving this gate, who can guarantee that he will be there when he is called?
He hasn't figured out Zhu Yanhui's temper yet, and he should try to avoid anything that is not good for him. When he is free, he will also think about whether to visit Xiaohu and the others. After all, it has been a month and he doesn't know them. How is life going, but Zhu Yanhui would ruthlessly interrupt every time this thought came up, either the table was dirty or something strange was found on the bookshelf.
After coming down two or three times, I lost interest at the end of the season.
Today is a rainy day, and the rain in April is already a little muggy.Zhu Yanhui walked in the garden with an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, staring blankly at Yingchun, who had already failed.
Xiao Ai didn't know what to do in the kitchen by herself, and was busy walking around.
At this time, the heavy door rang three times, but no one cared.
At the end of Ji, he stood in the hall and looked at Zhu Yanhui in the garden, then at Xiao Ai in the kitchen, and finally ran to open the door with his sleeves covering his head.
Standing outside the door was Hei Xiaohu.
Hei Xiaohu's body was covered with rain, and the moment he saw the end of the season, he also shone with brilliance, and he shouted, "Xiao Yao!"
At the end of Ji, he was taken aback for a moment before letting him in. He took the umbrella in his hand and asked, "Why are you here?" Somewhat strange and somewhat happy, this is the first acquaintance he has seen in this period of time .
Hei Xiaohu looked at him and laughed, "You don't even want to visit me, I'll just visit you."
"Let's go inside the house first." Ji Mo felt a little ashamed, shook the water droplets on the umbrella, opened it again, took Hei Xiaohu's hand and rushed into the rain.
Hei Xiaohu followed him, his two little black heads pressed together under the small umbrella, intimately.
Zhu Yanhui straightened up from the devastation, and saw the two teenagers running in the yard holding hands, frowning slightly.
After entering the house, Ji Mo directly threw a towel to Hei Xiaohu, "Dry your hair first, and I'll see if there are any clothes you can wear here." Then he hurriedly searched for it.
Hei Xiaohu was already taller and stronger than him. Although he was indeed much stronger during the one-month training at the end of the season, he was still not at the same level as Hei Xiaohu.
Hei Xiaohu pulled him back, "Don't look for Xiaoyao, I'll be fine when I fish in the river in spring, how could Xiao Yu get sick at this point, please talk to me." Looking forward to the end of the season.
Think about it at the end of the season, "Okay, if you get sick, don't tell your elder brother that it's because of me."
"Absolutely not!" Hei Xiaohu promised, grinning his teeth and patting his chest.
After looking around, there are three houses on the west side of the winter garden, one for the kitchen and one for storing sundries. At the end of the season, I live with Xiao Ai in the one closest to the main house.
"You guys are so kind!" Hei Xiaohu exclaimed.
At the end of the season, he was busy pouring water. Hearing what he said, he raised his head, "It's okay, it's okay if you follow your elder brother?" He handed over a cup of hot water.
Hei Xiaohu didn't like the heat and put it on the table, "The place where my brother and I live can't compare with yours. The people living there are all old men. It's enough for one person to stretch out one foot to sleep at night. You don’t even wear clothes when you’re wandering outside.”
After looking around, his eyes fell on Ji Mo's face again, and he looked at him from top to bottom, "You're not bad, you've grown taller."
