[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

Xu Xiangyang slept very well that night. He ate well and was covered warmly. The money bag was kept under the pillow, and his heart was unprecedentedly stable.Zhan Zhao was very generous, and there were at least seven or eight taels of silver in his purse.At the same time, she was relieved and felt a little sad. If she earned so much money by embroidery, it would take a few years to earn it, so he just gave it away.

With so much money all of a sudden, she didn't know how to spend it. He said to buy some necessary things, and she counted them over and over again in her mind.Zhan Zhao's clothes are half-worn, so it is necessary to add some new ones.Although there are quilts, they are also old. Cotton is not as warm as new ones after sleeping for a long time. It is better to add a new quilt and bedding, and let her sleep in the old ones, and she can add some winter clothes.She just borrowed his money temporarily, and she will have to pay it back in the end, so save as much as you can.

For others, let's add another bathtub. Without a bathtub, it is very inconvenient to take a bath in winter.The money should also be included in Zhan Zhao's daily food expenses, so it cannot be used up all at once.She has been wearing it for so long, so she has a little understanding of the prices here. Seven or eight taels is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people. Zhan Zhao gave her these, and I am afraid that he will not give any more money in the short term.She can't spend it all foolishly, and then get the impression that she doesn't know how to manage the house.If he doesn't understand that housekeeping is a trivial matter, if he thinks she's plotting money, then he won't be able to tell.She was in such an embarrassing situation, it was better to keep a low profile.

The money belonged to Zhan Zhao, so naturally his clothes were made first, if his clothes disappeared, she would put on new clothes first.Even if he wanted to solve the problem, she was too embarrassed to do it.But she was so cold that she couldn't wait, so she could only grit her teeth and spend some extra money to buy a ready-made beanie to wear first.Now it's just a small cold, but I can get over it if I eat well, wear warm clothes and sleep well. If the real illness is serious, it will cost a lot of money.

But what she bought most was muslin for linings.Zhan Zhao usually wears official uniforms, and she wants to make more underwear and jackets for him.In winter, the outer robe does not need to be changed every day, but the inner garment should be changed frequently.In addition, the official uniform is not thick, and there is no jacket. How did he survive the winter in previous years?As for the shoes, she has never made them before, so she will ask Mrs. Wang for advice.She sent spicy cabbage to Mrs. Wang, and she seemed to eat it very well, so she came here to ask how it was made.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the relationship with Mrs. Wang is a little better.

It is probably a woman's nature to like to go shopping, even a little transparent like Xu Xiangyang who has no sense of existence is no exception.Even though most of the things I bought were expansive, even though the shopping was not recreational, and even the money was borrowed, I still couldn't stop my heart from jumping for joy.After wearing it for so long, it is the first time that I let go of my hands and feet to buy.

She bought a lot, so she had to bargain with the store for some gifts.In the past, she was not good at bargaining, but after arriving here, the situation is very pressing, and she has to live on a budget.Although he is not an expert at bargaining now, at least he can work hard and get some benefits.This time, she got some extra cloth heads this time, so she used them naturally. She thought to herself, since she has to make so many clothes for Zhan Zhao, this benefit should be considered as a compensation for her wages, which is not an exaggeration.

Zhan Zhao was patrolling the streets today, and happened to see Xu Xiangyang come out with this ruler when passing by a cloth store on the East Street, today she finally added a thick beanie to the thin shirt.The azure-colored twigs and fine flowers pattern are quite peaceful, but her temperament is too quiet, and this color makes her not stand out even more, as if it wants to blend with the half-old wall.Regardless of the color and style of the clothes, at least his guess was right, she really didn't even have winter clothes.If he didn't mention it, would she just carry it like that?In today's weather, even he feels a little cold in the morning and evening, let alone her?

It was also because of his negligence that there was nothing left in her house except for two huts.Those who can be pawned and sold have long been sold short, and they have all reached the point of selling themselves as slaves. What else can there be?If you can live like this in the future, probably it will be fine, right?

Zhan Zhao just happened to see her while patrolling the street, and was relieved to see that she had added some clothes.Xu Xiangyang probably felt his gaze and looked at him.There was no wave on his face, and he looked at him calmly.Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly towards him.Zhan Zhao didn't respond, just passed by.

Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that he didn't want to have anything to do with her.That's right, no one would like to be forced into a heap by someone's design.In the future, if you leave Kaifeng Mansion, you should treat him as if you don't know him.If someone asks, then she is just a girl in Kaifeng Mansion and has nothing to do with Mr. Zhan.In fact, she knew in her heart that she would leave sooner or later, and she didn't need to get involved with too many people at all.All of these will be broken right now.She said she was going to break, but in fact she didn't have anything.It’s okay if you don’t have one, you won’t feel sad when you leave.

Not long after returning to Kaifeng Mansion, the guys from the cloth shop delivered quilts and fabrics.She had no time to think about anything else, so she had to make the quilt first.I hastily washed the fabric for the quilt and dried it in the sun, hoping to dry it in the sun, so that I can sleep with a new quilt at night.The mattress is simple, just replace Zhan Zhao's bed and put a bed sheet on it.In this way, even if there is no quilt at night, at least there is a mattress on it, which makes it much warmer.

The sun was fine today, and the cloth was completely dry in the evening, so Xu Xiangyang hummed a little song unconsciously.The cloth in the water was a little wrinkled. After struggling for a long time, I decided to go to Mrs. Wang to ask if there was an iron or something like that.She remembered seeing ancient people ironing clothes in that TV series, made of copper with charcoal inside.

Sister-in-law Wang doesn't have an iron at home, but there is a laundry room in Kaifeng Mansion, but she can't borrow one.Xu Xiangyang was slightly disappointed, suddenly his heart moved, and he asked Mrs. Wang to borrow a Mrs. Tang.Tang Pozi can also make do with hot water. Although it is not as hot as charcoal fire, it can still have some effect.Anyway, it's just a quilt, and it should be ironed.

When Zhan Zhao came back in the evening, Xu Xiangyang had already put aside the embarrassment he encountered on the street in the morning, and pointed to the newly made quilt with some credit: "Master Zhan, I changed you a new quilt." Although the new surface was not ironed meticulously, But it is also neat and straight, which makes people feel at ease when they look at it.

Zhan Zhao was indifferent to Xie, his indifference chilled Xu Xiangyang's mood.She was a little embarrassed, annoyed that she was getting carried away, how could Zhan Zhao care about these things?I'm afraid that he loathes everything she handles in his heart, and if he solves her troubles, it doesn't mean he has let go of those things.Under the same roof, he is a kind-hearted person who will not stand by, let alone she is his wife in name.

Thinking that the relationship between her and him has not changed at all, the lightness on her face gradually receded, she lowered her eyes, held her breath carefully, and said, "Master Zhan, have you eaten yet?"

"Used it." Zhan Zhao paused, and then said: "I went to Mr. Gongsun just now, and he said that there is no need to use medicine."

Xu Xiangyang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he just felt that he was abnormally cold today.Facing his indifference and alienation, she didn't dare to think too much, she quickly packed her things and left.Except for the door, she was greatly relieved. She thought she had gotten acquainted with him after getting along for a while, but now she realized that she was still afraid of him.

As Zhan Zhao's injury healed, life seemed to be back to the way it was before.He left early and returned late, and she hid in the house doing needlework. She didn't see each other once in a few days, and even if she did, she had nothing to say, not even a hello.She was no longer near his house, and the clothes she made for him would not be needed for a while, so she simply made them slowly, and she was not in a hurry to give them to him when they were finished.She is not liked, and he may not be able to use what she makes.

A few days ago, Mrs. Lin's legs and feet started to hurt again. Xu Xiangyang went to see her every day to help with housework.If there was anything she cared about here, it was only Mrs. Lin.She had no friends or family, and was treated as someone else who lived in silence, without anyone to talk to.Only in front of Mrs. Lin can I temporarily put aside those aggrieved things and be my true self.

Mrs. Lin's legs and feet are inconvenient and she can't do heavy work. Xu Xiangyang helps her fill up the water tank every time she goes back to make it easier for her to use water.Today was no exception. She helped with chores at home, so she went out to fetch water with a bucket.The people in this area share a well, but there is no one there at this time. Most people carry water for laundry in the morning and go to rest at noon.Xu Xiangyang also intentionally picked this time to come, so he didn't have to squeeze with others.

Xu Xiangyang has always felt that winter is bleak, and it is also afternoon, no matter how sunny the winter afternoon is, it is still deserted.Just like now, the long alley is quiet, only the slight sound of embroidered shoes stepping on the bluestone slab.It was quiet as if the surroundings were empty, although it was a sunny day, it always felt like there was a little bit of vitality missing.

The muffled sound of the wooden barrel falling on the bluestone slab was very clear in this quiet afternoon. She took the wooden barrel used for fetching water and turned it upside down in her hand to throw it into the well.The water level in this well is very high, and it is very convenient to lift water without much effort.However, because of this, when she saw clearly what was floating on the water, she was as frightened as the water level and almost killed her—there was a floating corpse in the well!

The shrill scream pierced the tranquility of the afternoon, Xu Xiangyang threw away the barrel in his hand in a panic, and ran all the way in a panic.There is only one thought in my mind-there are dead people in the well!She was face to face with that dead body!It was so close that he could drag her down the well with his hand!

She didn't know that she was going there, she just followed her body's instinct to escape from fear.Suddenly, she stopped, a dead end!My heart was hurting like it was about to explode, and I was so nervous that I didn't dare to turn around, fearing that the corpse would follow behind.It wasn't until she was almost out of breath that she realized that she had forgotten to breathe, took a few breaths, turned around and rushed around like a headless chicken, she always had an idea in her head, she had to report to the police!

She is just a little assistant, she would be scared to death even if she got an injection, and she would be out of her wits if she saw someone throwing herself into a well.Although she had the idea of ​​reporting to the police, she didn't know where to report to the police. Fortunately, after wandering around, she came to the main road and met a policeman patrolling the street. She rushed up as if seeing a savior, grabbed the policeman's hand, He said incoherently: "Officer, official... No, it's not good! Someone threw a well! Quick, go and have a look!"

When they heard that someone was thrown into the well, the arresters didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said, "Where are you? Lead the way!"

"Anping Alley!"

Xu Xiangyang ran for a long time before getting out, but several police officers quickly brought her back to the scene.She didn't dare to approach, until now she still had the image of the dead body engraved in her mind, and she never dared to go there again.However, after looking at the well, the leader, Chen Kuai, said: "Girl, are you delusional? There is nothing in the well."

What? !Xu Xiangyang looked at Police Officer Chen in disbelief, "What are you talking about? There is nothing in the well? How is it possible?" She clearly saw a dead body. Did she see a ghost?

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

Xu Xiangyang was dubious, approached with lingering fear, and slowly poked his head towards the mouth of the well.Her heart was pounding faster and faster, and her heart was tense, ready to be torn apart at any moment—just when she thought the horrifying scene would appear again, what caught her eyes was a bay of clear water reflecting her own reflection.

The dead body is gone!
