Chapter 56 [New Home]

Today's sunshine seems to be particularly brilliant, the wind is particularly gentle, and the grass is particularly happy.

I have never seen such a big house in my memory. The gate of the yard is wider than the small thatched hut where Cao'er lives. There are many wooden pillars, corridors, pear trees and peach trees in the yard, which are bigger than the ones planted by Cao'er in front of the house. When it comes to harvest season, are Sang Wazi and the others going to be fruit thieves again?

The young official said that this is called "gong", and the houses of noble families in Liyang City are called this name. What is a noble? Are they the ones who live in a big house and take a bath with something called "wooden tub"?

Cao'er was shocked when he saw the wooden basin. How could there be such a big bowl? It also emits a fragrant smell. Brother Shaoguan said that it was a wooden basin, and this one was not a bowl. No one could eat with this thing, which would make his stomach burst. This thing was called "wooden basin", which was much better than the pottery basin she used in the house. It could be made into a big and large shape and used for bathing. It was invented by a very smart carpenter. This person was called Lu Ban. (In the pre-Qin period, the "palace" was not a house name for royal aristocrats)

Caoer was very strange. Shouldn’t he go to the ditch to take a bath? My mother said that the flowing water is the cleanest. I remember that when I was a child, I went to the river to take a bath. My brother kept her. Later, when my brother left, it was Sang Wazi and Gou Shengzi who helped her keep her. She was worried about using only one. The eyes of these two boys would turn and peek at others.

Bai Dong's story taught Cao'er how to protect himself. The little girl who used to love to listen to stories began to have the feelings of a big girl.

The young master and Shaoguan found a sense of existence again, and proudly called two maids in, poured the warm water that had been prepared long ago into the wooden barrel, and sprinkled some fragrant petals. Cao'er was immediately fascinated. Even though he had never taken a hot bath, the girl's nature made her quickly understand the function of the wooden barrel. Cao'er was very filial, and the first thing he thought of was his mother. Bai Yue was "pushed" into the wooden barrel by his daughter in full happiness.

The mother and the mother took a hot bath happily, and then they all became fragrant beautiful women. They put on new clothes they had prepared long ago, and they looked like noble ladies and her little princess. According to the young master, only the duke's daughter was called a princess. There was only one princess in Qin State, and when the grass came, it turned into two.

The two young women who served Cao'er and his mother's dress were dressed in a white-washed shirt, their feet were still naked, and they didn't even have straw sandals. Cao'er was soft-hearted and was very sad for these two elder sisters. Didn't the young official prepare a lot of new clothes? Why didn't they give them? After asking, I realized that these two people were untouchables and were called slaves in their early years. They had no land, no property, and only their masters. Even if they were wearing straw sandals, they had to get their approval. Bulu didn't have to think about it. Untouchables were ridiculous and were beaten until there was no complete piece of flesh on their backs.

The young master said, and the two women nodded their heads, but Cao'er felt sad and firmly asked the two older sisters to wear cloth shoes like him. Straw sandals are not good! I remember that every day I wore straw sandals, my feet hurt very much at night, and my mother and brother always massaged my feet. Mother is the best, unlike my brother who always asked others to wash their feet before pressing them. It's so troublesome, their feet are not smelly!

It's really a little girl with a flood of sympathy. The young master nodded to the old manager. The old manager specially prepared for Bai Dong by Qin State is definitely an elite talent in the "industry" of the manager. In later generations, he would be a standard British housekeeper. He wanted to fiercely oppose his uncle's orders, but he thought that this person was a famous and reckless person. When he looked at the tearful grass, he finally gave up the principle of sticking to most of his life.

The two maids were very frightened. They suddenly had shoes to wear and could not walk anymore. However, when they got used to it, they immediately felt the comfort coming from their feet. They knelt down with gratitude and expressed their gratitude to Cao'er and the old lady. Cao'er was so scared that he hid behind his mother. Seeing his mother ordering the two maids to get up, Wen Yan comforted them. Suddenly, he felt that his mother seemed different. This feeling was very strange, but in his heart, he couldn't say it.

Bai Yue made the foolish man like Gongzi Shaoguan feel bright. The knowledgeable old manager also looked at the old lady in surprise. Although he only said a few words, he was obviously a behavior that only noble ladies could have. Was he dazzled? Gongzi Shaoguan and the old manager subconsciously shook their heads. When looking at Bai Yue again, they found that the old lady had turned back to the kind country mother, talking to her spoiled daughter.

"Old lady, the doctor has not returned yet, and the family's house has been newly established. The emperor and several young masters have given gifts. Now I'm waiting for the Ministry of Farmers to allocate the rewards. According to your instructions, all the tribesmen from Yishi Village have settled down. Because the fields have not been distributed yet, all the tribesmen should be required. They are currently temporarily allocated from the mansion. This is the account..."

The old manager's eyes were very poisonous. You could tell at a glance that the old lady would be the head of the mansion in the future. Now I am going to hand over the account.

“No need.”

Looking at the bamboo slips piled on the ground, Bai Yue smiled slightly: "You are in charge of the business, you should take care of these accounts first. When Heianlang returns, he will see how he arranges it. When people get old, they can't worry about so many things..."

"No." The old manager really felt relieved this time. He thought that the Bai family was born in a countryside and was the most difficult master to serve. Now it seems that the old lady is generous and has a very noble demeanor, which makes him feel a little surprised.

"Mom! Cao'er!"

Two strong horses shot to the gate of the new mansion like arrows. As soon as Li Di took off his horse's back, Bai Dong's voice penetrated the entire triple courtyard. There was no way, it was a waste of time in the Qin army camp, and he had never learned how to ride such a saddle-free horse. Fortunately, Li Di, a good rider, is a brother.

"Heianro?"

"Brother, brother!"

Bai Yue suddenly turned around, his body trembling slightly. Is his son back? Is Heianlang, who is for his mother, back?

Cao'er seemed not used to wearing cloth shoes and ran out of the hall. It was really his brother who was back! The story of his brother is not a lie. It turned out that there are really magic lamps in this world, and many houses have been transformed, beautiful clothes and large wooden basins that can take hot baths. She wanted to see her brother the first to give her the warmest hug, so that her brother could smell the fragrance of the petals on the grass, which smelled so good.

Bai Dong, who was running towards him, knelt down in the yard, and when he looked up, he was already full of tears. Only when he saw his mother well with his own eyes and saw that the grass was still a fragrant and happy girl could he be truly relieved. This is his life, his roots, he can lose the whole world, but he can't lose the small thatched hut that is broken by the autumn wind at any time, the mother in the house, the grass that always likes to burrow in his arms and listen to stories...
