In the middle of the night... before the rooster crows, Sangsang quietly climbed out of bed, put on the slightly loose maid's uniform, put on the already worn little cotton shoes, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom to the patio.
She wiped away the remaining snow on the edge of the well, started to fill the water tank in the kitchen with water, neatly piled the firewood chopped the day before yesterday under the corner, then she picked up the broom and walked to the front bunk to sweep the floor.
After cleaning everything, I started to wipe the table, put away the scattered pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, and squatted by the door of the shop to carefully check if there were any problems.
These are the things she usually does every day, but today she is more focused and serious, doing everything well. A few rays of morning light have been faintly revealed in the eastern sky. She squinted at the sky and walked out of the old pen.
Zhai went to the alley and bought two bowls of hot and sour noodle soup.
Sit at the table and quietly eat her own hot and sour noodle soup, and then wash her own bowl. Sangsang walked back to the bedroom and started to pack her clothes. She took out the box from under the bed and stuffed the thick
She divided the banknotes into two identical piles and put the pile she thought belonged to her into her arms.
She walked to the kang and looked at Ning Que, who was still sleeping soundly. Her thin brows slowly wrinkled. She kept frowning and looked at him seriously for a long time, then picked up her bags and left without any hesitation.
look.
The shop door of Lao Bi Zhai opened.
The shop door of Lao Bizhai is closed.
Because of the repairs she had made a few days ago, the shop door did not make any noise and did not alert anyone.
She carried her luggage and left in silence. Her thin figure disappeared into Lin 47 Lane where the night and morning light met. She never appeared again, as if she had never been here before.
The Grand Master's Mansion was quiet in the morning light. The dark and heavy door was closed tightly. The servant sweeping the floor outside the door [Baidu Jiangye Bar YY:108052] deliberately controlled the friction sound of the broom against the ground. The towering winter trees in the mansion
Silent and speechless.
Sang Sang walked to the door of the Bachelor's Mansion with her luggage on her back and spoke a few words to the warden who looked wary. Then she ignored him and walked to the closed door with a frown on her face and started knocking on the door.
.
I don't know if it was because she was not in a good mood today, but there was actually a lot of power in her little fist. It landed on the heavy door of the Bachelor's Mansion, making a dull and loud bang, which sounded like the most excited one.
War drum.
The sound of knocking on the door like a war drum suddenly woke up the people in the Bachelor's Mansion. There were faint curses and displeased inquiries from behind the door. The butler who was sweeping the floor outside the manor was so frightened that he hurriedly ran behind Sangsang.
, ready to drive away this wild girl who didn’t know where she came from, but at this moment the door opened.
"Second housekeeper, I really didn't expect this wild girl to be so courageous." The butler said with a sad face.
The sleepy second housekeeper rubbed his eyes and looked at the little maid in front of him with a displeased face. He waved his hand and was about to order someone to put her away. However, he suddenly felt that this
The little maid looked familiar. She subconsciously rubbed her eyes again. She finally woke up and remembered the uproar in the house a few days ago.
"You...you...you are...little...little..."
Because they got up in a hurry, both the bachelor Zeng Jing and his wife were wearing casual clothes. Not to mention washing up, their hair was even a little messy. Just looking at the little girl standing quietly in front of them, their moods became even more chaotic.
pole.
Sangsang tightened the package on her right shoulder, looked down at her small shoes sticking out of her skirt, and said, "That day you said I was your daughter?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing nodded repeatedly, with a look of surprise on her face. If the bachelor hadn't supported her, she would have fainted on the ground with joy.
Sang Sang continued to look at the toes of her shoes, and after a moment of silence, she said softly: "When I was a child, I heard...he told me about Tang laws. Before marriage, husbands and wives have the responsibility to raise children. You asked me to move to the bachelor's school that day.
If I come to live in the mansion, if I have to fulfill all the responsibilities stipulated in Tang Law, can I move here?"
"Of course." Master Zeng Jing took her hand in surprise and said, "This is your home, of course you can come back and live there."
Academician Zeng Jing looked at the dark and thin little girl in front of him. He was happy but also a little confused. He thought about the day when he and his wife condescended to go to that shop to beg her to come back, but she refused to come back and said that she wanted to accompany her.
He wanted to live with his young master. As a great scholar of the time, of course he knew what happened after Ning Que returned to Chang'an City. He wondered what happened to make her willing to come back and be his daughter.
After all, he was a great scholar of the time and an elder who valued the dignity of his father. Since Zeng Jing had already determined that Sangsang was her daughter, she naturally asked questions directly if she had any doubts in her mind.
Sangsang raised his head, looked at the couple in front of him and said seriously: "I don't like him now, so I don't want to live with him."
Academician Zeng Jing frowned slightly, remembering the Queen's words to remind him and his wife not to break their relationship. After pondering for a moment, she said: "After all, you have been together for many years. Regardless of the relationship between master and servant, you have always supported each other in the past. So,
Since we are moving back to the bachelor's residence, it seems that we should say hello to Ning Que."
Sangsang glanced at him, then suddenly turned around and walked out of the bachelor's residence.
Mrs. Zeng Jing was shocked and hurriedly grabbed her and said in a trembling voice: "What's going on?"
Sang Sang looked at Bachelor Zeng Jing quietly and said nothing.
Mrs. Zeng Jing was so panicked that she glared at the bachelor and said angrily: [Baidu Jiang Ye Bar YY: 108052] "Don't talk nonsense if you can't speak human language. If you let this miserable child like me disappear again,
Be careful, I’m not done with you!”
The Bachelor's Mansion has always respected the wife, so although Zeng Jing didn't think there was anything wrong with her previous words, she was even more angry that Sang Sang ignored her as a father, but she had no choice but to shut up under the murderous gaze of the wife.
.
Sang Sang looked at Mrs. Zeng Jing and said, "I will live with you, but I don't want to live with him."
Mrs. Zeng Jing was overjoyed and said, "It's all up to you. I'll have your father's things moved to the study right away."
Ning Que didn't see Sangsang after he got up. He put on a coat and went to the patio to shout. He didn't hear Sangsang's answer. He stretched himself and walked to the kitchen to take a look and found Sangsang.
There was no fire or water to boil. I couldn't help but shake my head. I walked to the front bunk and saw the bowl of sour noodles soup on the table.
"How can you have breakfast if you haven't brushed your teeth?"
He frowned and thought as he looked at the bowl of hot and sour noodle soup. Over the years, he had become accustomed to having a pair of small hands bring a bowl of water and toothbrushes to him after getting up. Suddenly one day, he felt a little uncomfortable when no one was there to serve him.
.
"Even if you rush out to buy the first bowl of the freshest soup, you still have to wait for me to wash my face and brush my teeth before going. Well, something is wrong. I have already bought the noodle soup. Where did you go, this damn girl?"
Ning Que was sitting at the table eating hot and sour noodles and thinking about where Sangsang had gone. [Baidu Jiangye Bar YY: 108052] Finally, he thought that maybe her stingy habit had recurred and she had to go to the Nanmen Market.
Buy fresh vegetables picked from farmers outside the city.
"It's only two or three copper coins cheaper. Is it worth getting up so early in the morning and traveling such a long way?"
After eating the hot and sour noodles, Ning Que laughed at someone while carrying the dirty bowl back to the backyard and throwing the bowl beside the stove. He felt a little sleepy, so he went to take a nap.
When it was getting dark, he woke up again, rubbed his eyes, walked out of the house with his shoes, and found that there was still no movement in the front bunk and the backyard. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Where is the hot water? Are you still letting me go out?"
No one answered him, and the front and back yards of Lao Bizhai were quiet.
Ning Que was startled. He walked to the kitchen and took a look. The dirty bowl was still placed on the edge of the stove. The stove hole was still filled with cold autumn smoke. There was no firewood and no fire. Naturally, it was impossible to have any hot water.
He walked to the patio wall, looked at the neatly stacked pile of fine firewood, shook his head and sighed twice, then carried a small pile of fine firewood and walked back to the kitchen to start lighting a fire and boiling water.
Although he has not done housework for several years, after all, he was responsible for their lives in the previous years, so it was not difficult for him to light a fire and boil water. It didn't take long for the water in the pot to start boiling.
Find the heat.
Ning Que looked at the heat on the pot and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
After the water was heated, he washed his face, and unexpectedly, he also washed the dirty bowl on the edge of the stove.
If it were a weekday, he should go to the academy or wander around Chang'an City at this time, but today he didn't go anywhere. Instead, he silently walked to the front bunk, sat down in his Taishi chair, and looked at the polished chairs.
Looking at the shelves of tables and chairs, looking at the clean floor without a speck of dust, I began to feel dazed.
He was silent at the table for a long time, with a somewhat stiff expression on his face. People passed by in the alley from time to time. When those figures were reflected on the shop door, he would raise his head, but no one ever pushed the door open and came in.
No one opened the door and came back.
Ning Que remained silent until it was almost noon, then he suddenly stood up and opened the door of the shop and walked out.
He went to Dongcheng Biianfang to buy a roast duck, then went to the market to buy some vegetables, and then returned to Laobi Zhai.
There was still no sign of Sangsang in the shop. After a moment of silence, Ning Que entered the kitchen, picked up a spatula and fried two plates of vegetables, steamed a pot of rice, peeled and cut the roast duck, spread it beautifully on the plate, and then served it
On the front table.
Two pairs of chopsticks, two bowls of steaming white rice, Fengwei's dishes.
Ning Que looked at the food on the table with satisfaction, put his hands on his knees, and continued to wait.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came back to eat.
There are still two pairs of chopsticks, but there is only one person, and the rice and vegetables are already cold.
Ning Que stared at the food on the table for a long time, then reached out and picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
However, for some reason, his hands were shaking a little, and after holding them for a long time, he couldn't even pick up a piece of green vegetables.
He grabbed the chopsticks and wanted to throw them out, but suppressed them and slowly put them on the table.
He suddenly stood up, walked back to the backyard bedroom, opened the bed board very roughly, took out the box, and dumped all the contents of the box on the bed.
Looking at the fluttering banknotes, he finally confirmed that she left by herself.
Ning Que expressionlessly reached out and folded the banknotes again and put them into his arms. He took out the Yuan Thirteen Arrows that had just been repaired the day before from the glove box in the corner and put them into the package. He stuffed all the talismans into his sleeves and
He picked up the hatchet next to the firewood pile and inserted it into his waist. Finally, he put the big black umbrella on his back and walked out of Laobi Studio.
He knew that Sangsang should not be in any danger, but he knew that this would be the most difficult battle he had ever faced in his life, so he brought all his most important things with him. It seemed that only in this way could he comfort himself, and he would definitely be able to find it.
The most important thing in your life.
If he can't find it back, then he doesn't have to come back.
(That’s it for today. I have slowed down the night party in recent days. You all should know the reason. I have written the most critical plot. Writing this kind of plot makes me solemn, vigilant and uneasy, and it must be written to a score of 95 or above.
Good, it is worthy of my original intention of writing this book, so it will be slow, but I believe that the things that come out will definitely be good, which is good.)
