The day went by so fast.
Shu Huan thought that when he came out of Gu's house, he didn't bring any more clothes, and now there were still ready-made clothes waiting to be replaced, so when he came out of the tailor shop, he stopped by the tailor shop to pick up new clothes that fit, and another person Picked a suit.
It was already almost noon, and the three of them found a restaurant to eat something, and then they were busy buying those odd daily necessities. When everything was ready, I bought some cooked food such as roasted chicken and bacon, wrapped it in dried lotus leaves, and went home.
At home, Xinxin has cooked meals and boiled bath water.
After eating and drinking enough, and soaking in the bathtub, Shu Huan felt the fatigue all over his body was released from his limbs and bones by the hot water, and he felt comfortable all over.
Being independent and running a family, money is spent like running water. On this day, I spent more than 20 taels of silver, but there is no way to do it. Building a new home will naturally cost money, not to mention that most of the money is spent on clothes. Above, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones she used are also very expensive. If she settles down in the future and only cares about eating and drinking, she won't need such a lot of money.
I am tired, but I feel happy in my heart. It has been a long time since I have wandered freely on the street like this.
It's just that I miss Gu Xiran a little bit.
If both of them left the Gu family, how nice it would be to be together...
The bath was so comfortable that Shu Huan was so dazed that he was about to fall asleep, until Jingmei hurriedly knocked on the door outside, and in a nervous voice, whispered: "Second Grandma, Second Grandma, please take a bath. are you done?"
Shu Huan was awakened by the sound, and was at a loss for a moment, thinking that she hadn't left Gu's house yet, all this was just a dream, and an unreasonable loss came to her heart, but when she woke up, she realized that it was the beauty knocking on the door who was too nervous to shout Forked, use the old title.
"Okay, what's the matter?"
She asked, and hurriedly dried herself and put on her clothes.
Mei Mei waited until she opened the door, and then said in a panic: "I just washed my feet, and when I went to splash water in the yard, I saw a black shadow swaying past the wall."
Shu Huan was taken aback: "Did she see it wrong?"
Jingmei twisted her veil and said: "I said the same thing, but Xinxin said that she lived in the mountains and forests, and she could see things clearly at night when there was no light. We looked around in the yard, and we shrank our heads when we saw her."
"Did she go out to check?"
"No, she was afraid she was a thief, so she opened the door and let it in backwards."
Shu Huan frowned slightly, and looked over Jingjing's shoulder at the moon in the sky.
This meeting is probably at the time of Hai, the ancients went to bed early, and most of them have already rested at this hour, so it is reasonable to say that there are thieves haunting.
Seeing her pondering, Meimei always felt chills down her back, and would turn her head to take a sneak peek from time to time.
There is no way, the front yard is very small, and it takes only a few steps to finish, so she is standing very close to the courtyard wall. She is really afraid that she will see a human head standing outside the courtyard wall when she turns around, but don't look back. , Thinking of someone staring at him from behind, it feels even more unbearable.
Fortunately, Shu Huan pondered for a while, and said: "I'm afraid we were targeted by thieves when we moved to the street." When they came in, they naturally had to talk about it behind their backs, maybe they would be overheard by those who cared, and they would live alone with the four women, which would be even more conspicuous.
Meijing asked tremblingly, "Then... what should I do then?"
"What about Xinxin and Liangchen? Tell them to come out." Shu Huan walked into the kitchen as he said that. What kind of kitchen knives, rolling pins and iron spoons were turned out, and they were distributed among the three maids. She carried them in her hand. Put the tongs on and said: "Don't scare yourself first, maybe you are really blinded by the wrong vision, let's all be steady, and be more alert when you sleep at night. I will watch the first half of the night, and you three will share one point. Let's take turns to watch the second half of the night. "
Liang Chen hurriedly said: "It's good to have the three of us watching the night, you go to sleep."
Shu Huan shook his head and said, "It's okay, at the most, sleep later tomorrow."
Anyway, there was no need to greet anyone, and no one dared to say no to her when she slept until dark.
Xianxin looked at the rolling pin in his hand and said, "I'm eighty percent sure that I'm not mistaken, but with these things in my hand, if a thief really comes, can we resist it?"
"That depends on how many thieves there are. If it's just one who doesn't have much skill, I'm not afraid of it. It's enough to beat one out of four, and you can still shout!" Shu Huan thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid there will be more Partner, or that thief is very skilled."
Meimei came up with an idea: "Why don't you go to Doctor Ji's place and Master Yangdu come to accompany you all night?"
Shu Huan shook his head: "Wouldn't it mean that going out would be a sheep's mouth? Besides, it's not convenient for him to come and live here."
She really regretted that today she was so focused on shopping for daily necessities that she forgot to buy a dog.
The dead gathered in the kitchen, talking quietly, making the atmosphere tense instead.
Shu Huan felt that waiting to die like this was really not an option, maybe the thief didn't come in, and he was frightened and softened first, it would be better to find something to do first to strengthen his defense, so he took three maids to close the doors on the doors of each room. All the bolts were removed, except for the one on the door of the main room.
When necessary, these are also weapons.
If only there was something sharper. "When the four of them gathered in the main room, Shu Huan stared at the mud under the courtyard wall and muttered to himself.
Meimei asked puzzled, "Sharp things?"
"Well, it's like a nail..." Shu Huan said, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, there is no nail, but she has a needle!
Liang Chen also thought of it: "Needle! We bought a big bag of embroidery needles on the street today!"
Shu Huan hurriedly called them to find it, then crept closer to the courtyard wall, on the muddy ground on both sides of the gate, back and forth, inserted all the embroidery needles in the pack, leaving only half of the needle tip outside. Covered by weeds, it is impossible to see it in the dark. If someone tries to get down from the wall, no matter which direction they jump, they will inevitably be hit.
After finishing these things, the four of them made up their minds, but Shu Huan was still not at ease, and asked, "Xinxin, how much water and firewood do we have left?"
It is natural to pay attention to such things as pleasurable cooking, and said without thinking: "The three water tanks in the house were all filled up by Master Du before he left that day, and now there are still two full tanks of water that are useless. As for the firewood , he asked someone to pick up a whole load, and it is estimated that it can be burned for three days."
Hearing this, under the moonlight, Shu Huan's eyes looked bright, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Okay, very good!"
Meimei didn't know what she was going to do, she wondered, "Why did the girl suddenly ask this?"
Shu Huan didn't answer, but only ordered: "Both the two pots in the kitchen are on fire, one for boiling water and the other for oil!"
The three maids were slightly startled, and only then did they understand her intentions, their spirits lifted immediately, and joyful expressions appeared on their faces, and they promised to go to work.
Tonight, it doesn't matter if the thief doesn't come, if he does come, don't even think about getting out of it.
