[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

After confirming that Wu Yong's figure had disappeared from sight, Ni Xi felt relieved.

However, in order to avoid the embarrassing incident just now, she picked up a piece of snack this time, chewed it slowly, and ate it carefully.

The dim sum tasted good, soft and delicious, and after a while, a pack of dim sum went into her stomach, and she was indeed full now.

After entering the room and drinking another glass of water, Ni Xi saw that Yongren Wu had entered the study out of the corner of his eyes. Although the master didn't tell her to do anything, she had to do her job as a servant.

After resting for a while, Ni Xi came to the living room. Taking advantage of the sun outside, he took the bedding and pillows on the bed out to dry.Then, she found a big wooden basin, rolled up her sleeves, and washed all the long gown and some clothes that Wu Yong had replaced and placed beside the bed.

Looking at the cleanly washed clothes on the bamboo pole, Ni Xi felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, after all, this was the result of her hard work for a long time.

Ni Xi looked back, and through the small window of the study, he happened to see Wu Yongduan sitting at the desk reading a book.

It may be because the content of the book is very profound, sometimes he has a dignified expression, as if he is lost in thought, and sometimes his eyebrows are stretched out, and the corners of his mouth are raised, like a quiet and beautiful picture scroll.

It is impossible for such a handsome and powerful character to be unknown, but Ni Xi really can't connect him with those reckless heroes in Water Margin.

I only know that this person is surnamed Wu, so who could he be?

Soon Ni Xi shook her head, no matter who this professor Wu is, she will know sooner or later, so why should she speculate here, knowing that curiosity killed the cat.

Instead of disturbing Wu Yong, Ni Xi checked around and found that there was indeed nothing to do. He felt a little tired for a while, so he decided to lie down on the mahogany table and squint for a while.

I planned to just squat for a while, maybe because I did a lot of work today and was too tired, I fell asleep for nearly an hour before I knew it. Looking outside the house, the sun was gradually setting.

As for Wu Yong, Ni Xi had seen it just now, and she was still in the study, which made her feel a little admirable.

Counting the time, it's almost time to make dinner.

She came to the kitchen, washed the mushrooms and green vegetables in the vegetable basket, served them with hot oil, fried the chopped garlic until fragrant, then poured the green vegetables and mushrooms into the stir-fry, seasoned with salt, and a fragrant mushroom stir-fry with green vegetables was ready. up.

Then wash the chestnut rice and put it in the pot to steam. After the steam comes up and the water dries up, put the prepared egg custard in a bowl and put it in for steaming.

After 10 minutes, the egg custard was steamed. Take it out and see that the large spoonful of lard that was originally added has melted, and the aroma is tangy. The yellow egg is sprinkled with chopped green onion and garlic, which is extremely soft and tender.

Considering that he still doesn't know how much Wu Yong eats, Ni Xi made more meals so that he wouldn't worry about not having enough.She put the chestnut rice into a celadon bowl, put it on a tray with the two prepared dishes, and carried it to the study.

Wu Yong sat there, thinking about something, but he didn't even notice that Ni Xi came in.

Afraid that the food would be cold, Ni Xi couldn't help calling softly: "Professor, you can eat some food first."

Wu Yong seemed to be awakened suddenly, he rubbed his temples on the sideburns, and when he saw the food on the table, a look of surprise flashed across.

"You did all this?"

The green vegetables, the golden egg custard, and the fragrance of the food in the air make people appetite after seeing it.

Ni Xi handed Wu Yong chopsticks: "I don't know the professor's taste is salty, so I made some at will."

Under Ni Xi's expectant gaze, Wu Yong took a bite of egg custard and fried vegetables with mushrooms, his expression relaxed, and he nodded with a smile, "It's a pity that my lady won't open a restaurant with her skills."

Is this praised by the employer?

Ni Xi's face showed joy, and it was worthwhile for her to spend some time.

"Thank you professor for your compliment." She smiled.

Just looking at the delicious food at Wu Yong's table, she didn't feel that much before, but now she feels hungry, and she couldn't help swallowing secretly.

She thought she hid it well, but Wu Yong saw it.Wu Yong couldn't help laughing at Ni Xi's salivating eyes, thinking that this little lady is really straightforward, and her every move is written on her face.

"Madam, why don't we sit down and eat together?"

How can there be any reason for a maid to eat at the same table with the master?

Facing Wu Yong's invitation, Ni Xi shook his head, resisted the temptation of food and said: "I have prepared food on the stove, and I will go right away."

When she was cooking just now, she saved a small portion of mushrooms and greens for herself, and it's just right to eat now.

Don't want to finish speaking, her stomach made a "cuckoo" sound because she was so hungry, Ni Xi's face turned red like blood, it was really embarrassing.

She hurriedly buried her head, wishing she could get into the cracks in the ground.

Wu Yong happened to hear it, raised his eyebrows, a little funny, he is not the kind of ruthless employer, how could this little lady dare not even eat a meal.

He said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the lady must be very hungry. Go and eat quickly. If you are hungry in the future, the lady can eat first."

Ni Xi was in the mood to cry now, thinking that the scholar must have heard it, and he didn't know what was going on, why did he keep embarrassing himself in front of him?

"I know."

Her answering voice was as small as a mosquito, and she quickly went out of the door and went straight to the kitchen stove.

Wu Yong chuckled behind him, and elegantly picked up a piece of mushroom with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He always lives alone on weekdays, and he hasn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, and he is also hungry.

Although it's only the first day, and it's hard to tell what kind of character she has, but as an employer, Wu Yong is quite satisfied with Ni Xi's performance.

The room was neat and spotless, and through the window sill, you could still see the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles outside, Wu Yong suddenly felt a sense of lightness in his heart.

This feeling seems to be good.

Besides, after eating on the stove, Ni Xi over there cleaned up the pots and bowls, looked at the sky, saw the sunset in the west, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the emerald green bamboo forest in front of the bamboo house, it was too beautiful to behold.

The sun was exceptionally good today, and the clothes hanging outside were all dry after touching them just now. Ni Xi took the clothes into the room and neatly folded them on the bedside before saying goodbye to Wu Yong.

"Slave should go back," she said softly to Wu Yong.

It takes an hour to get home from here, and it is just right to go back now, and if it is later, I will have to walk at night.

"Mistress, be careful on the way."

Wu Yong said these words with gentle eyes. He got up from the desk, watched Ni Xi go out of the bamboo fence, and then turned back to the house.

------------

Day by day, time goes by little by little, and it is fleeting without knowing it, just like a white horse passing by.

Ni Xi has been working at Wu Yong's side for more than a month, and the two of them treat each other with courtesy. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they don't feel the unfamiliarity at the beginning.

In Ni Xi's view, Wu Yong is just her employer. As time goes by, Ni Xi has gradually mastered Wu Yong's living habits.

Every morning, Wu Yong would go to the village school to teach, and stay until noon before coming back for dinner.Sometimes I take a nap in the afternoon, and more often I stay in the study, either contemplating or obsessed with books.In a flash, the day passed.

All in all, from the perspective of Ni Xi, a modern person, Wu Yong's life is very simple and monotonous.

However, this has nothing to do with Ni Xi. From Ni Xi's point of view, this job is too easy and free. She only needs to clean up and cook every day. Wu Yong will never ask her anything harshly.

In her spare time, she can go to Wu Yong's study room and read a book to pass the time, which is really great.

It's just that at noon today, the strange thing is that Ni Xi waited for a long time, and the food was hot on the stove, but Wu Yong came back from the village school.

This scholar is very regular and punctual on weekdays, I don't know what happened today?

After a while, Ni Xi went outside the fence to see if Wu Yong came back.After touching like this for more than an hour, she saw the familiar blue figure at the end of the bamboo forest path.

But Wu Yong didn't come back alone, beside him was a strange big man in coarse clothes, who carefully supported him.

Taking a closer look, Ni Xi realized that Wu Yong was not as tall and straight as usual, but swayed slightly, his figure was unstable, and even his walking steps were flimsy. Could it be that he was drunk?

Just when Ni Xi was feeling suspicious, the big man saw Ni Xi from a distance, and shouted angrily: "Young lady is Professor Wu's wife?"
