Wang Ying watched her father leave, pouting and chopping her foot hard, snorting softly, rolling her eyes and ignoring him.
He turned around and saw the feather duster hanging on the counter, so he rolled up his sleeves and fetched a bucket of water from the backyard. There was a rag hanging on the side of the bucket and placed it next to the dining table. Turning around, holding a feather duster in one hand and a rag in the other, he wiped the table and swept the counter.
In fact, the restaurant is cleaned every day, and the table is cleaned immediately after the guests have finished eating instead of cleaning the table after the guests arrive. Therefore, there is not much dust in the restaurant when you wake up early in the morning. But Wang Ying was humming an unknown tune and carefully cleaning every corner of the store.
After a while, the curtain of the backyard was opened, and two figures, one fat and one thin, walked out of the backyard yawning. They were still rubbing their sleepy eyes with their hands. Suddenly, they saw their eldest lady cleaning the house, and blurted out an exclamation, He rushed to Wang Ying in three steps, took the rag and feather duster in Wang Ying's hand, and said: "Miss, what are you doing here so early in the morning! If the master sees this, he won't be able to do it. I'm waiting for you."
Wang Ying threw the rag on the thinner man angrily and said, "You skinny monkey, you are talking like our family bullies you a lot."
Skinny Monkey chuckled, "How can that be? Master has been very kind to us, but I have never seen you do these things on weekdays. Fat Dog and I thought we were sleepwalking before we woke up."
Wang Ying grabbed the thin monkey's ears and said with a fake look: "According to you, I am just a useless vase! Oh~ No, I should hate the ugly daughter of the landlord, right? !”
The skinny monkey's ears hurt, his legs bent, and he quickly begged for mercy: "How can I do it, Miss? Who in the whole Suzhou city doesn't know that you are an expert in wine making, and your appearance is also amazing. The skinny monkey hasn't woken up yet, and the words on his mouth are You are talking nonsense, I hope the eldest lady will let the younger one go."
Wang Ying grinned and let go of her hand. In fact, she didn't use much force. Shouhou's pretense of exaggeration made her already happy mood a little happier. Then she took out a few copper coins from her waist and threw them to Shouhou. He said, "Okay, stop acting. I won't tease you anymore. Take the money and go to Aunt Liu to buy some things for worship and bring them to me."
The thin monkey took the copper coin from Wang Ying's hand with a smile. After hearing Wang Ying's words, he immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Sure enough, I still haven't woken up. I thought the eldest lady was so kind as to give me a reward today."
After hearing this, Wang Ying laughed angrily, clenched her right fist and put it to her ear. The thin monkey ran out as soon as he saw this.
Wang Ying looked at the fat dog next to her and said, "Has the water in the backyard been boiled? If there is, I'll get some first and you can boil some more."
The fat dog said with a smile: "Yes, we boiled the water when we came together. Now I think it's almost done. Miss, you go and have a rest first. I'll call you."
Wang Ying pinched the back of her neck. She continued to work hard all night long. After resting for a while, she felt a little tired. She hummed in a low voice, "I'll trouble you." After that, she went upstairs. Go up.
The fat dog bent down and said, "You're welcome, Miss." After saying that, he walked towards the backyard. After a while, he put a bucket of hot water and a bucket of warm water in front of Wang Ying's door, turned around and left, returning to the house. He was busy with his own business in the store.
After a while, the thin monkey ran in with a bunch of things. He looked around and found Wang Ying, so he asked the fat dog: "I bought the things, why is the lady missing? Does she dislike me?" It’s too slow, why don’t you buy it yourself?”
Fat Dog grinned, "You also know that you're late? The work in the store is almost finished, so you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to be lazy outside while shopping with the lady."
The thin monkey chuckled and took out a package from his arms, "How can I do that? Brother Dog, I am not stopping by the boss's bun shop for the season. I bought a few buns and wasted a little time. I will never abandon my brother and go alone. Xiaoyao, look at this steaming bun, I didn't waste a moment, I haven't even eaten it yet! Come on, Brother Dog, let's try it together."
The fat dog took the package, picked up a bun and ate it, laughing and scolding: "I guess you have a conscience."
Skinny Monkey picked up a bun and fed it into his mouth. He grinned because it was burned and muttered: "It's delicious, but it's too hot. Boss Ji's buns are indeed the best in Suzhou."
Fat Dog slowly brought a bowl, put the buns in the bowl, and used chopsticks to break open the top of the buns. A stream of soup flowed along the skin of the buns into the bowl. He first drank the soup in the bowl. , then picked up the buns and put them in his mouth to taste them carefully. After eating one, he said to the thin monkey: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the same goes for hot buns. If you eat like this, you will ruin all the delicious food in the world." ”
The thin monkey didn't say anything, for fear that he would lose a bite of the buns if he spoke. Suddenly something came to his mind and he said to the fat dog: "Hey, brother dog, today is not the old lady's memorial day. Who are you paying homage to by buying these things?" Ah. Nothing like this happened in previous years, right?"
The fat dog seemed to know something, and just said calmly: "Don't ask about my lady's affairs, just do your own thing with peace of mind. Why worry about so many things? Look at you, you are thin, you just worry too much. "
The thin monkey scratched his head, smiled and was about to say something, when he heard the sound of opening the door from upstairs. The two people responded and saw Wang Ying wearing a white and elegant long dress, with a layer of skirt as thin as a mist. She wears gauze and wears a white belt around her waist, which makes her look slim and graceful. Both of them were dumbfounded by Wang Ying's outfit. In their impression, they had never seen such clothes or even this kind of outfit since they first met the young lady. The young lady who is usually carefree and more energetic than men is now like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Wang Ying looked at the dull look of the two of them, frowned slightly, and asked impatiently: "What are you looking at, Shouhou, did you buy what I asked you to buy?"
"Ah? I bought it. Miss, I bought it. There is it next to the doorpost." Thin Monkey replied quickly.
"I asked you to buy something, why did you leave it outside the door? Not to mention it was picked up and carried away, but if it was blown away by the wind, wouldn't it mean that you have to chase the wind to pick it up again?"
"Where did the strong wind come from so early in the morning? Besides, this thing is unlucky. It looks bad for us to open a shop and do business." Thin Monkey said word by word. Looking at Wang Ying's unkind eyes, his voice became louder and louder. Come smaller and smaller.
The city of Suzhou was built on countless corpses. After years of fighting and fighting, the city of Chang'an only knew music and music every night. The people did not close their homes at night and did not pick up things on the road. Who knew that there was a city of Suzhou thousands of miles away, with ten rooms and nine empty houses for men. The cemetery below occupies many hills, so the people in the city don't take the unlucky aspect of life and death, ghosts and ghosts very lightly. Behind him are countless heroic souls guarding Suzhou City. How can he be afraid of mountain spirits and ghosts causing trouble?
"Hmph." Wang Ying snorted and didn't say anything more. In fact, the relationship between the two is not that of an ordinary master and servant. They just like to quarrel. As time goes by, the two of them will inevitably bicker and fight when they meet, as if they don't want to exchange a few words. I feel unhappy in my heart.
Wang Ying walked outside the door, picked up the package and weighed it in her hands for a few times. She felt that the weight was pretty good. She nodded with satisfaction, took out a horse from the stable, held the reins with one hand, kicked off the horse with her left foot, and left. .
The thin monkey secretly hid behind the door and watched Wang Ying leave. There were two bottles of wine tied around his waist. The bottles were the likes of which he had never seen in the store. The thin monkey quickly waved to the fat dog, "Dog." Brother, Brother Dog, come here and take a look. The wine bottle tied around the lady’s waist is not like the wine we usually sell in our store. Could it be some good wine hidden privately? How about we..."
Before he finished speaking, Fat Dog put a rag on Handsome Monkey's face and said: "You are getting more and more courageous. You really don't want your life. You really take yourself seriously. What are you thinking!"
While the two were talking, they saw a slight cough behind them. Wang Youcai came behind them at some point. The two of them were so excited that they immediately stood aside and lowered their heads slightly.
"Miss is out?"
"To tell you what I'm saying, the young lady just went out, riding on a horse, and she brought a lot of things with her."
"Okay, you go and do your work."
Wang Youcai's voice was calm, and there was no hint of happiness or anger. The two bowed their heads and said yes before walking aside and starting to get busy. Wang Youcai stood at the door of the store and looked at the direction where the sound of horse hooves was going away. He sighed in a low voice and stared blankly. Know what to think.
Even though he is wealthy and has connections all over the world, he is helpless when it comes to the word love, pitiful for all the lovers in the world.
Wang Ying galloped her horse and whip, and rushed all the way, and soon she arrived at the cemetery. After getting off the horse, he arranged his clothes, held the wine in one hand and the package in the other, took a deep breath, and walked up the mountain step by step.
The mountain was not high and the road was not far, but every step she took was extremely heavy. After a while, my cheeks turned red and my breathing became a little faster. I don't know if it was because I was too tired from walking or because I was getting more nervous as I walked.
After a long time, Wang Ying finally walked to Su Zhan's grave. The soil is loose, and the appearance of being turned over is still vaguely visible. Along the way, Wang Ying thought about how to speak a thousand times in her heart, but when she finally came to her, she didn't know how to speak. She knelt in front of the grave, lit two incense candles, folded the yellow paper and put it aside, lit it with the candle flame, took out the wine bottle, opened it and poured it slowly on the ground.
After doing all this, Wang Ying did not get up, but took out a lot of yellow paper from the package, folded it, and put it into the fire one by one.
"Uncle Su, others call you General. That's what I called you when I was a child. I won't be angry even if I think of you like this now. The road ahead for A Qing will be tortuous and extremely difficult. I hope your spirit in heaven can bless you." He is at peace.”
"I know that he has been in poor health since he was a child. You hope he can stay, right, but he wants to leave and he wants to avenge you. I have no reason to stop him from going. Even if I can, I’ll go with him too.”
"But he is a person who would rather put everything on his own shoulders than let others worry. If I told him that I wanted to go with him, he would not let me go or leave me. , left alone."
"But I really like him. I have liked him very much since I was very young. When I saw the way he left, I felt really sad. I really wanted to tell him and let him take him with him. Me, I want to help him share some of the burden, but I’m just a burden. I know nothing but wine. Unlike other women, I can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or even make suggestions. I’m really useless..."
"Uncle Su, do you think there are really immortals in this world? If there are, you should be considered an immortal. You must be. You and the princess alone have led the Su family army to prevent the Hun Mo outside the city from crossing thousands of miles outside the city. Who else but the Immortal can do that line of defense?"
"Uncle Su, he will be fine..."
"Uncle Su..."
As he spoke, big tears fell from the corners of his eyes. The originally strong woman became fragile at this moment, and she burst into tears.
For a long time, just as she was thinking about it, a breeze blew from the top of the mountain, like a big invisible hand, gently brushing away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
