The Misty Rain in the Republic of China: The wind and rain are thick and rouge chaos

Chapter 3 Moxi's He and She (1)
Mo Ximing knew that except for Feng Yao, no one would enter her small courtyard for 800 years, but now she has a guilty conscience, and she is ready to return home before her feet reach the pharmacy.When she really knocked on the shop door to buy medicinal wine, she clutched the small medicinal wine bottle with a thin neck and round belly, angrily forcing herself to walk steadily step by step—in case she ran too fast and fell and broke the bottle But it broke.

In the early morning, the sky is always bright, this time Moxi didn't climb the wall, but went straight to the side door to go home.Someone outside the side door was already sweeping the yard with a big broom, and it was Lao Zhang, the gatekeeper.Lao Zhang is more than 50 years old, and he is a kind man with a shiny face.Suddenly seeing Moxi coming back from outside, Lao Zhang asked in surprise, "Hey! Girl, when did you go out?"

Moxi replied confidently: "Just now! You probably didn't notice, I ran out."

When dealing with Lao Zhang, Moxi always treats you with every mouthful.Because Lao Zhang is different from others, although Lao Zhang knows her identity, he still seems willing to give her a high look.It's inconvenient to call her miss, but he doesn't call her a girl either. Lao Zhang folded it himself and called her a girl.When there is no conflict of interest, Moxi has always been a person who does not offend anyone. She respects Lao Zhang purely because of his kindness to her. Although Lao Zhang is a good person, he is always polite to everyone.

Hearing Moxi's words, Lao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "That may be because I am blind. What are you doing out early in the morning?"

Moxi made an innocent expression, she showed her white teeth and squinted her eyes when she smiled, "I saw a little tabby cat at the back of the yard the other day, it was so pretty. I woke up this morning and saw it again, so I wanted to chase after it. No, I chased it all the way to the street, but I didn’t catch it after all.”

Lao Zhang didn't know how true or false Moxi's words were, and he didn't bother to care, and let Moxi go in.And Mo Xi went straight to her small courtyard with the small bottle of medicinal wine in her pocket, and after entering the courtyard, she first bolted the gate of the courtyard.Then he went straight to the back of the room, stopped immediately, let out a long breath at Wan Jiagui who was on the haystack, reached out to support him, and at the same time said in a low voice: "You are a bit lucky, I bought the medicinal wine I don’t know if it’s working or not, but it’s just the same, it’s nothing else.”

Wan Jiagui supported Moxi with one hand and the wall with the other, and stood up majestically, "Miss Moxi, thank you."

After the words fell, the two began to walk in unison.After walking a few steps, Moxi made a weak protest: "Wan Jiagui, you just leave, what are you doing with my head?"

Wan Jiagui hopped forward on one foot, and then replied: "It's not that I pinch you, it's that you are too small."

Moxi immediately fought back, "If I were as tall as you, I'd be a grandson."

Wan Jiagui walked around from the back of the room to the front of the room with great difficulty, "It would be great if you were Erniang Sun, I also have a backer in Beijing."

Moxi was like a cow, almost going to push him all the way forward, "I am Erniang Sun, I will eat you first."

Wan Jiagui raised his left foot, which had a swollen ankle and bruised toes, "Good appetite, you can start eating from my foot!"

Moxi struggled to raise her head, turned her face, rolled her big eyes and scolded, "Before auntie eats, boil you with boiling water until you are half-ripe!"

Wan Jiagui finally managed to jump into the room, "You little girl, why don't you speak girlishly?"

Moxi struggled to free one hand, and thumped Wan Jiagui's back, "Hurry up and jump! I can't hold you anymore!"

Wan Jiagui staggered into the back room. After all, the room was warmer than the outside, at least there was no cold morning breeze.Before he could sit still, Moxi bent down and lifted his left leg, put his injured foot on the kang, and took out the small medicinal wine bottle from his pocket.Passing the medicinal wine bottle to Wan Jiagui, she said, "You apply the medicine yourself, and I'll go out again. Don't worry, I'll be back in three to five minutes!"

Wan Jiagui didn't listen to her words carefully, but just looked up at her face in a daze, because there was a smile on her face, and it was a joyful smile.He didn't know this girl before, and he didn't give her any favors after he got to know her—no good, almost no good words, but a lot of trouble, so what is this girl laughing at?
Moxi didn't care whether Wan Jiagui made sense or not, she just turned her head and ran away.In the end, within three to five minutes, she really came back, carrying a snack box in her hand. When the box was opened, there were three steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

This is Moxi's breakfast, which is enough for an old woman to eat twice.But Moxi's stomach is a bottomless pit, three big steamed buns are stuffed into it, and the digestion is empty before noon.Amid the pungent smell of medicinal wine in the room, Moxi brought the food box in front of Wan Jiagui.Opening the lid of the box and looking inside, she immediately said, "I'll get you a towel to wipe your hands, two steamed buns for you and one for me, is that enough?"

Wan Jiagui smiled at her, "One is enough for me, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound from the courtyard door, and a series of calls sounded together: "Moxi, have you had breakfast yet?"

Wan Jiagui's expression changed immediately, and Moxi also shivered in fright.Without saying a word, she ran out through the outer room. After going out, she closed the door tightly, and then smiled at the front, "Feng Yao?"

There was a pretty girl standing at the gate of the courtyard, it was Bai Fengyao.

Bai Fengyao is a veritable seventeen, a bit like Peng Kun, with bright eyes and white teeth, two dimples when she smiles, and long black and thick hair that is so bright that it can reflect the sun.Standing in front of the courtyard wearing a dress and leather shoes, she had her hands empty. Moxi smiled at her, and she smiled too, but her complexion was pale and her smile was forced.

Mo Xi swallowed her saliva, and put her frantic heart back to its original position.Stepping forward to block Feng Yao's way, she answered, "I just finished eating. Why are you here at this hour? It's not Sunday, you don't go to school anymore?"

Feng Yao lowered her head and whispered, "I'm not going."

Moxi was taken aback, and raised her hand to touch Feng Yao's forehead, "Are you sick? Rest today?"

Fengyao is half a head taller than Moxi, she doesn't dodge at this moment, she obediently lets her touch her, "No, I'm going to drop out of school, and I won't go to school again."

Moxi remembered that Fengyao put the most effort into her studies, so after hearing this, she was confused and didn't understand, "What happened? Didn't you say that you have to study for many years before you can graduate?"

Feng Yao pursed her lips tightly, said nothing, only shook her head, then opened her mouth and took a trembling breath, and said in a crying voice, "I want to stay here with you for a while."

Moxi looked back - the glass windows reflected sunlight, and people were in the yard, but they couldn't see the details of the house clearly.So she stretched out her hands to hold Feng Yao's two arms, and she made a shameful smile, "No, no, my one came last night, and it was all over the mattress, and I haven't had time to clean it up yet. Let's go to your room, okay?" ?”

At this moment, Feng Yao's eye circles were slightly red.She nodded slightly to Moxi, and then she was pushed out by Moxi without touching the ground as if she had fallen into a strong wind.

Moxi's hands and legs trembled a little, but no flaws appeared on the surface.Following Fengyao walked all the way, she entered the small courtyard where Fengyao lived.There are two old mothers and a little girl in Fengyao's courtyard. The three of them take care of Fengyao and take care of some chores in the courtyard.Seeing that Fengyao had brought Moxi back again, the old lady curled her lips disapprovingly, but seeing that the young miss's expression was not right, she didn't dare to speak out to persuade her.

Feng Yao led Moxi into her small study room, closed the door after entering, she sat down at the desk, and then blinked a big teardrop.

"Mom asked me to come and talk last night." She choked up and said in a low voice, "She said she wanted me to marry someone."

Although Moxi was full of Wan Jiagui, she couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, "Nonsense! Your brother hasn't married the young mistress yet. You are a younger sister, how could you marry someone?"

Fengyao cried cowardly: "Who says it's not! But Mom said that Dad owed too much debt outside, and the house and land sales of that hole can't make up for it, so we have to wait until after we get married, and let the in-laws come forward to help. Help. Because this matter is too urgent, so etiquette can't be taken care of, and I won't be allowed to go to school..."

While crying, Fengyao pushed the dim sum plate on the table towards Moxi, "The little cake, my aunt and grandma brought it yesterday afternoon. I wanted to ask you to come over to eat it at night, but I heard about it at my mother's place at night." Words—" She took a short breath, "It won't taste good until now."

Moxi picked up a piece of cake from the plate, and then put it back again without eating it.

"Then..." She asked Feng Yao nervously, "Are you really going to get married?"

Feng Yao twitched and shook her head, "Baby dear... I haven't seen that person... I met that person's father in Tianjin two years ago..." At this point she raised her hand to make a gesture, "His father Just so tall...Looks like, like, like..."

After repeating it several times, Feng Yao finally cried out, "Like a pumpkin."

Moxi comforted her subconsciously, "Maybe that person is just like mom."

Hearing this, Feng Yao immediately took out a handkerchief and covered her face, almost crying, "His mother is not as good as his father! No matter who I am, I can't agree with it!"

Mo Xi looked at Feng Yao, at this moment, she completely forgot about Wan Jiagui.

As soon as she arrived at Bai's house, she relied on Fengyao, because she knew that Fengyao was a bully with a heart, and she regarded Fengyao as her life-saving straw and backer.Having been with Fengyao day and night for more than four years, she sometimes loves Fengyao and sometimes hates Fengyao, but Fengyao treats her only kindly.

Feng Yao is kind, so kind that she is almost stupid.Moxi stared at Fengyao, thinking that she couldn't let Fengyao marry into the Wagua's family.The son of the pumpkin is definitely not good enough for Fengyao, if it is a bad family of pumpkins, Fengyao may still have to be angry with them.

"Don't cry." Moxi opened her mouth, "Crying is useless, why don't you think of a way. Even if you are a baby, you can't go into the bridal chamber without seeing him. You find a way to let the pumpkin seed come over by itself, and wait for the pumpkin plant to arrive. , let's take a look at his appearance first. If he also looks like a big pumpkin, we two will try to disgust him so that he won't dare to come to the door again. If the nausea doesn't go away, I'll go over and kill him in the middle of the night!"

Moxi came to Bai's house when she was ten years old, and met Feng Yao when she arrived at Bai's house.From the age of ten to 15, Feng Yao has grown a lot in five years, and her knowledge has also increased a lot, but her temperament has never changed, she is a limp and kind person, almost heartless.Her mother was about to marry her into the Pumpkin's family, so she complained to Moxi about her hardships, and she had no choice but to give up.

Mo Xi expected Feng Yao's marriage to be a major event, and no matter how vigorous and resolute Second Mistress Bai was, she would not let Feng Yao go out within a month.So seeing that Fengyao had cried enough, and she was full of ghosts, she was anxious to go back to her small courtyard, but Fengyao refused to let her go, Fengyao told her: "I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, why can my brother spend money like dirt outside?" , I can’t even afford the tuition?”

Moxi stuffed her mouth full of small cakes, and replied vaguely: "Seeing that you are a girl, you will marry someone else's family in the future, so if you have money, you can't bear to spend it!"

Feng Yao looked down at her fingers, but she didn't speak this time.While Moxi was chewing, she took a look at her, and she also had a slight intention of sowing discord in her heart-according to her mind, she hoped that Feng Yao would only listen to her own words, and only be good to herself.

Feng Yao remained silent for a long time, obviously thinking about something on her mind.Suddenly she looked up at the table, and she whispered listlessly: "I'm so worried, you just eat it blindly. Drink some tea, how can you be so dry?"

Moxi took Feng Yao's small teacup, and drank the cold tea in the cup with pride.Just at this time, a little girl walked in from outside the curtain, and the little girl whispered: "Miss, Miss Tan Jiabiao is here with her younger sister, Madam asked you to come over and talk."

There are quite a few relatives in the Bai family, and we can't talk about a deep friendship, but the communication is frequent.Fengyao is not in the mood to go out to meet her cousins ​​now, but she dare not not go, because Second Grandma Bai always says what she does at home.Standing up and opening the drawer, she took out a small shiny silver ball, stuffed it into Moxi's hand under the cover of the door curtain, and then walked out first, in front of the little girl, she was very sensible. Ken and Moxi were too close, and said without looking back: "You go too, let's talk again when we are free."

Moxi put the silver ball the size of a small fist into her pocket, and followed Feng Yao out the door without saying a word.The silver balls were not silver balls, they were chocolate balls wrapped in foil.When Fengyao had no intention of crying earlier, she was like Moxi's younger sister; now that she stopped crying, she became Moxi's older sister again.The elder sister often gave Moxi snacks, because she knew that Moxi was greedy.

Mo likes to happily slip to her little cold palace, the closer she gets, the more flustered her heart beats.When she entered the yard and then the house, she looked into the back room and smiled—Wan Jiagui was still there, grinning and rubbing medicinal wine on her ankles.

She smiled, but Wan Jiagui didn't smile, "Where did you go? It's been so long since you came back. Good guy, I was always scared when you were away. If someone suddenly broke in and saw me, they shouldn't treat me as a Hooligans tied up?"

Moxi took out a chocolate ball and threw it into Wan Jiagui's arms like a joy, "Here is chocolate for you."

Wan Jiagui picked up the silver ball and weighed it, then put it on the edge of the kang, "I'm such an old man, why do I still eat this? You can keep it for yourself."

Mo Xi suddenly had a question, "How old are you?"

Wan Jiagui looked up at her, "23."

Moxi did the math, then sat down in front of him and said, "Then we are only six years apart, not too much."

Wan Jiagui heard that her tone was wrong, "How can this count as age? Fortunately, I am an honest gentleman. If I were a different person, I would immediately think wrongly when I heard this."

Mo Xi's eyes were wide open, the ends of the eyes were protruding, the black eyes were big, and there was a smile and light in the pupils, "Then...then do you have a wife?"

Wan Jiagui stared at her, and replied blankly: "No. In my life, I want to start a career first and then a family!"

Moxi turned her head to look out the window, and smiled to herself, a big smile, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

She was not happy that Fengyao was getting married, even if she hadn't married into a Japanese family, she would have been just as unhappy; Wan Jiagui was a bachelor, she was also happy.She has been used to being lonely since she was a child, so she always secretly hopes that the people she loves are all lonely, and she has to get along with her, and she will become a polished commander without her.

Wan Jiagui still looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that Moxi was a beauty, but this little beauty was a little too aggressive if she dared to speak and act.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked, "How do I think you are not funny?"

Mo Xi shook her head, but did not answer.Reaching out to snatch the medicinal wine bottle from Wan Jiagui's hand, she stepped back.Wan Jiagui hadn't reacted yet, but when she saw her pour the medicinal wine into her palms and rub each other, she suddenly blushed.

"I don't need you." He mobilized his left leg to hide aside, "I can do it myself."

Moxi didn't listen to him.She likes Wan Jiagui, so she must try her best to treat Wan Jiagui well.This is so pure, she always has the intention of taking advantage of Feng Yao, but she treats Wan Jiagui with sincerity—people change as they say, and before this, Moxi had never been sincere to anyone.

Carefully covering Wan Jiagui's ankle with her palm, she suddenly asked, "When are you leaving?"
