Bai Yan got up early in the morning. After tidying herself up, she wanted to wake up her younger brother who usually sleeps a lot. But when she opened the door, she discovered that her younger brother, who always slept until midnight on holidays, was already in the main room. Counting the packages packed yesterday.
"Sister! Why did you just get up? You left some meatloaf and soy milk for you in the kitchen, so you can eat it yourself. Come over here after you finish eating. Let's not miss anyone when the car comes.
sister? Oh, you do it! Why are you hitting me? "
Bai Yan gave Bai Yuankai a slap on the back of his head. Then he turned to the kitchen. Opening the lid of the pot, there was a small amount of hot water on a grid, a bowl of soy milk, a meatloaf on the side, and a peeled egg. All still warm.
Bai Yan was eating breakfast with a smile on her face.
The meatloaf is so delicious! The eggs are so delicious! Soy milk is so sweet!
When I get up from a comfortable bed in the morning, I have my own small wardrobe, a special water room, and a breakfast as rich as the New Year's dinner a few years ago. Bai Yan felt like she had fallen into a blessed nest. Dreams are sweet.
After breakfast, I washed the dishes and put away the water in the pot.
Today is Xiu Mu. There is a big event at home. Bai Yan and her brother have been looking forward to it for two or three days. Complicated feelings. Curiosity, excitement, and a little bit reluctant.
Coming out of the kitchen, there were already people in the yard. People in twos and threes have already begun to move things out. Bai Yan knew the leading man and knew that he was his eldest brother's bodyguard and his surname was Sun.
"Hello, Brother Sun."
"Hello, Miss Second! I have been told by Zuodao to move today. Do you have any instructions for Miss Second?"
"Brother Sun, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to take away the small cabinet beside my bed. That's what my eldest brother bought me new. I like it very much."
"no problem!"
Bai Yan still has not fully adapted to the change in her identity. Unlike his younger brother Bai Yuankai, he has long been accustomed to the status of "Bai Zuo Dao's brother". He often talks and walks like a swordsman, and sometimes he will be served with the back of Bai Yan's head because of this.
As for Bai Yan herself, she always feels a little scared when facing the people in these sword shops. Even though these people always smile when they see her, it can even be said to be flattering. But that sudden change made Bai Yan feel unreal. At the same time, I always think of the conspicuous and scary scar on my eldest brother's neck.
Everything in the family, including the respect and favor shown by the people in the knife shop, did not come out of thin air, but was earned by his eldest brother with his life. Bai Yan feels heartbroken every time she thinks about this.
"Sister, are you thinking nonsense again? Didn't Brother tell you to think less about things that are and are not? Day by day, you don't listen to Brother. Your eyes turn red when you think about it, like a rabbit. Ouch! Let go of my ears. !”
Bai Yuankai has grown up and can understand his sister's emotional changes.
Of course, when he was beaten, Bai Yuankai also changed from "submissive" to now having the courage to say a few words of resistance. Just two sentences, no more than that.
However, after being interrupted by Bai Yuankai, Bai Yan's mood adjusted again. She understood that she had to look forward to the future. Her eldest brother was destined to have trouble living in peace from the moment he entered the knife studio. I just hope that one day I can help, so that my eldest brother will not have to stand in front and bear everything alone.
There are not many things at home. Including the small cabinet that Bai Yan likes, it can only hold two cars. Then it was all the way to the new home.
The location of the new home is not far from where I live now. If you walk, you can get there in less than one stick of incense. But there are far fewer people coming and going on the street, and it is further away from Mengxuetang.
There are two reasons for moving: mainly safety. The second is ostentation.
The former reason is easy to understand. It is mainly because I am worried that my younger siblings will be missed. You won't always arrange to live in the school, right? Moreover, only when the yard is large can enough waist knives be stationed to defend it. The previous house was too small to do this.
The latter one is that Bailang's status has changed now, and the pomp and circumstance will follow. Otherwise, if you don't tell jokes about your opponent, it will also make other red swordsmen in the knife studio feel awkward.
"Wow! It's so big here!"
When Bai Yuankai and Bai Yan entered, they were surprised by the entrance patio in front of them. This patio alone is almost bigger than the yard of their previous house.
The new house was found by Liu Hu, the general manager of Ma Sheng Alley. He said that it was the former residence of a big salt merchant. The business in the back was in urgent need and he used money to mortgage it to the knife shop. Tang Yan felt that this kind of house was expensive and difficult to buy, so he kept it and never changed hands. Always empty. Just a few days ago I had to clean it up all night long.
When Bai Yan saw that the mansion she was assigned was not a simple room, but a separate courtyard, she didn't even know how to express her inner feelings.
"Second Miss, do you have any requirements for the maid? Do you prefer someone older or the same age as you? Or someone younger?"
"Maid?!"
Not only Bai Yan was shocked and didn't know how to answer, but Bai Yuankai was also asked about the maid in his own yard and was so frightened that he ran to find his sister.
The reaction of the two children did not show any negative emotions to Liu Hu, the manager of Ma Sheng Alley, who came to stare at them. Even in his opinion, this kind of thing was a good thing. It shows that the two children have simple personalities, which means they will not be difficult to get along with.
"Second Miss, Third Young Master. The house is so big that someone has to clean it up and take care of it, right? This is the honor of Zu Dao. We can't let Zu Dao do this, or let you two do the work, right? These maids are all teeth. They were purchased officially from there. They have received special training, and they are useful and easy to use. They are like animals when they are in the teeth, and they are lucky to be able to come out.
If the second young lady and the third young master cannot see them suffering, then they should be nicer to them.
In fact, the maid is also the face of the sword. "
No matter how Liu Hu explained, Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai still shook their heads. They can introduce themselves to live in such a large mansion and accept being called "Miss" and "Master", but they still have an instinctive resistance to bossing others around.
It wasn't until Bailang came back in the evening that the two little ones found someone to talk to from all the uneasiness in the huge house. Because they are worried that if they say something, they will be laughed at and embarrass their elder brother.
"What's wrong?"
It was actually Bailang's first time to come to the new mansion here. He is too busy these days. He could only postpone the move today until evening.
"Brother, is our family like a rich man now? We don't even have to do our own food and laundry. We also had roasted mutton tonight. And he said he would find a maid for my second sister and me."
Bailang understood after listening. The two younger ones jumped up too quickly in class, and their consciousness and habits are still stuck in the original class, so they cannot fully adapt.
"Maotou, Yanzi. Our family's life is getting better and better, whether it's a house or a maid, it's not a problem at all to eat roasted mutton every day. You can enjoy it in peace and contentment. Because the eldest brother has sacrificed his life to get these. What's not to do?
This is the way the world is, either eating with five tripods or cooking with five tripods. "
