Mu Wan'er originally thought that it would be enough to say a few words, and there was no need to enter Xu Shan's home.
However, on second thought, seeing others like this would make Sister-in-law Xu worried, so she nodded and smiled and followed Xu Shan through the door.
Even though the walls outside are messy and messy with those unspeakable things, the inside of this room is really spotless.
Even though some traces of age can be seen on all the furniture, the owner's frugal and careful temperament can be seen in terms of maintenance and use.
"Miss Mu, sit down quickly, I'll make you tea right now."
In Xu Shan's impression, no outsiders have come to this house since her husband's funeral.
So when she opened the door and saw Mu Wan'er at the door, she couldn't be more happy.
Seeing Xu Shan's busy figure, Mu Wan'er didn't want to interrupt her, but just looked at the furnishings in the room carefully.
This shack is slightly larger than my mother-in-law's, mainly because it has a separate room. On the mother-in-law's side, there is a heated ondol and a kitchen in the main room, which are crowded together, so it seems more crowded.
When you walk in from the front door, the first thing you see is an extremely elegant-looking table.
The tabletop is black and shiny, and it seems to be lacquered, so it should be expensive.
Coupled with the six beautifully carved chairs, it is considered a luxury even if it is placed in a county town.
In addition to teapots, cups and other items placed on the table, there are also several appropriately trimmed flower arrangements placed in a slender bottle. The bottle is white and clean, as gentle as jade.
A little further away is a couch that should be used for temporary rest. It is also covered with thick blankets and looks extremely warm.
There is a narrow door on the left, turning to the side. Sister-in-law Xu Shan just entered through this door. It must be the kitchen and utility room.
And right in front of her eyes, there was a screen.
Through the thin gauze, you can see that the door at the back is ajar, and you can't really see what's going on inside.
But I think it must be the bedroom. After all, this house was built for Xu Shan and her husband to get married, so it goes without saying that this room must be the most elegant.
As footsteps sounded, Wan'er saw Xu Shan walking out of the small door next to her with a kettle in her hands, and came to sit next to her.
There was always an indescribable difference between her behavior and Wan'er's behavior when he first met her.
When I met her at the time, I felt that she had a promiscuous air, and her words and deeds were indeed out of tune.
But the more I get along with her, the more I discover her unknown side.
Take her tea-making skills as an example, she must have a not-so-simple background. Not to mention the common people in this village, even ordinary people are not so particular.
Mu Wan'er was dazzled by the various tools and techniques.
Wan'er was born in a coastal area, where she likes tea the most. Therefore, Wan'er has been deeply familiar with tea and brewing techniques under the influence of her parents since she was a child.
After time travel, although I never made tea by myself, it was mainly because I didn’t have any extra spare money.
However, her vision has not declined at all. On the contrary, she is quite disdainful of the brewing techniques of this era.
But now Xu Shansu's slender hands were placed on a hollow wooden frame, placing water in the bottle. As the bottle tilted on its own, the water flowed out slowly. Xu Shan took advantage of the water flow to start cleaning her hands.
Mu Wan'er was very interested in this instrument. If it were in her time, there would be nothing to say about it, but in this ancient society, it is indeed a rare item.
After cleaning her hands, Xu Shan smiled brightly at Mu Wan'er and said, "Miss Mu, do you have anything to say here?"
Wan'er, who was deep in thought, was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she regained her composure and said, "Yesterday, my sister-in-law said that she could lend us a house. I went back to discuss it with everyone and they all agreed, so..."
While listening to Wan'er's story, Xu Shan never slowed down her movements.
She gently closed her right sleeve with her left and right hands, revealing her white wrist, and a gold bracelet that kept moving along with her movements, which reflected each other.
Xu Shan nodded and used the tea clamp to rinse the tea set with hot water. The hot water flowed along the wooden frame into the small sink below.
"Of course it's no problem. I just don't know when I'm going to use it, so I might as well clean it up first."
Mu Wan'er blurted out, "Of course, the faster, the better."
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Xu Shan looked up at the girl sitting next to her.
Then she smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't go out to do any work today, and I will pack my belongings at home. You can let Mr. Shen stay here tomorrow."
"Really?"
Mu Wan'er suddenly covered her mouth, feeling that it was really rude to ask like this. It was just the sudden joy that made her unable to help but say these words.
"Of course it's true. I, Xu Shan, do have a bad reputation in this village, but the words I say are like spit and nails."
Wan'er scratched her head in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law Xu, I didn't mean that."
Opposite me, Xu Shan suddenly laughed, "I'm joking with Miss Mu, don't take it seriously."
Wan'er has never seen Xu Shan like this.
In the fields and on the mountain trails, I saw her not only hundreds of times, but dozens of times.
But the feeling she gave people outside was completely different from the cheerful, bright, charming appearance she had now.
Mu Wan'er suddenly felt sad. Judging from Xu Shan's various actions and the taste of the furnishings in the room, she definitely did not come from an ordinary family.
It's just that if people don't tell me, Wan'er can't ask more questions.
"Miss Mu, you are so kind to Mr. Shen."
After negotiating the rental house, Mu Wan'er and Xu Shan talked about common things. At this time, just as Wan'er raised the teacup in her hand, she heard Xu Shan's soft words.
The voice was soft, but indescribably sad and plaintive.
Wan'er raised her head and found that Xu Shan's eyes had already turned away. She also held the delicate teacup made of purple sand in her hand, holding it in her palm and rubbing it back and forth.
Her eyes fell on the wall beside the couch. There was a landscape painting on the wall.
There was a man and a woman standing on the bow of the boat, holding hands and looking at each other. There was heavy wind and snow all around, and there were only two people on the bow, the man and the woman. There were two bright colors in the heavy snow.
One is a beaded hairpin on a woman's head, and the other is a jade plaque on a man's waist.
"This painting is so beautiful."
It wasn't until this moment that Wan'er truly appreciated this painting that looked quite old.
She turned her head and was about to ask Mrs. Xu Shan who was opposite her, which famous artist this was.
But she didn't expect that she saw a scene that shocked her for a long time.
I saw Xu Shan's eyes filled with tears, and the tears fell from her cheeks like broken beads, dripping on the ebony table and breaking silently.
"Qin Lang, I miss you."
Her tone was whimpering, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was weeping and complaining. Her whole body was like a weak willow supporting the wind. The indescribable loneliness made Wan'er feel startled in her heart.
When Wan'er saw it, she didn't feel any discomfort in her heart, but felt deep sympathy and sadness.
No matter what others thought of Mrs. Xu Shan, Mu Wan'er knew at this moment that the person in front of her would never do the dirty things that others said.
"Miss Mu, am I funny?"
Mu Wan'er shook her head solemnly and said something resounding.
"In this world, there is only infatuation, and no one can make fun of it."
