Time Travel Adventure
Chapter 8 Are you leaving Manxianglou?
Yaoyao didn't say anything, but a chill flashed across his eyes. He muttered, "Looks like we have to leave here."
No one said anything after that. I was still worried about Nan Nan, so I went to see her secretly later. She was also very happy about this.
It turned out that the man was a girl from a silk shop. She was very rich and seemed to be drunk. She was very fond of Nan Nan. For the girls in this brothel, being liked by a rich young man was the best thing.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After that incident, my mother seemed to know what happened, but she didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened.
"It's 15 today, we should go eat something." I went back to my room to rest at night. "Yes, I want to go to the east end of the street, the food there is better."
Manxianglou would take a day off on the 15th of every month, and the 14th was the time to pay out money. My mother's decision made the people in Manxianglou very happy. Who doesn't like to get paid today and take a day off tomorrow?
Yaoyao handed me a small cloth bag, which contained this month's salary. Although my mother was very stingy, the customers loved the pastries we made.
So I got a salary every month, which I felt was a lot. Yaoyao got ten taels of silver, but I only had six taels.
This money is more than 9000 yuan when converted. I feel that my mother is quite generous.
"My mother is so generous, hahaha." The first thing is when the salary is paid. After a month of hard work, I got the reward and went to bed excitedly and got up early the next day.
I got up early in the morning with excitement. I go out once a month and I look forward to it every time. Unfortunately, I am not very good at history and cannot tell what era this is or whether it is another time and space.
The main reason is that the ingredients here don't match the world nodes I know. The rich ingredients here are not much different from those in modern times, with only some differences in names and appearances.
I was getting ready to go out with Yaoyao, but as soon as we went out, Yaoyao was called back by her mother. I was thinking of waiting for Yaoyao, but Nannan came out just in time.
Nan Nan was wearing a plain dress, which made her look very pretty, and she looked fair and had a nice figure. She took me to the east of the city, and while we were walking, she talked about which food tasted good and which tasted bad. I was excited by her.
The east of the city is indeed different, it is very lively and the vendors’ shouting makes me excited to look left and right, buy a little here and try a little there.
When two women go shopping together, no matter what era it is, time passes very quickly, and it is almost noon.
Before we knew it, it was noon. We were thinking of finding a restaurant to eat. We picked one and were about to go in when we saw the servant in the yard running over and saying that my mother had something important to attend to and asked us to go back quickly.
When we heard what was going on, we were also puzzled. The servant left after he finished speaking, apparently to look for other people.
When we heard this, we were no longer in the mood to eat, so we went back together. When we got to Manxianglou, Nannan went in through the side door and I went in from the back.
As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I put my things away, washed my face, and looked everywhere for Yaoyao. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find her. Then I heard a commotion inside Manxianglou, so I went towards the direction of the sound.
I saw my mother was losing her temper and after listening for a long time, I found out that something was stolen. What was it that made my mother so angry?
I was wondering, when someone patted me from behind. I turned around and saw it was Yaoyao. Yaoyao pulled me in and found a seat that was a little out of the way.
I slowly picked up the teacup and drank it, completely ignoring what my mother said. Seeing her so relaxed, I felt relieved. Since Xiaoxiao didn't care, I didn't care either.
Drink tea slowly, it is jasmine tea. Jasmine tea should of course be paired with sweet osmanthus cake. Take a small bite of the cake and then a sip of tea.
My mouth was filled with the aroma of jasmine tea mixed with osmanthus cake. Yaoyao couldn't help laughing when she saw me eating so happily.
After Yaoyao saw it, she took me away without saying anything. Mother glanced at us, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
We went back to the room by ourselves. I was so tired after walking around for the whole afternoon that I just lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
Yaoyao sat down beside my bed and asked, "Have you thought about what to do in the future?" This question stunned me.
"I don't know either." I answered truthfully. I really didn't know. I had always been thinking about how to return to the real world, but after so many years I gave up.
It's actually quite comfortable living here, but you have to be careful of your mother. "Have you ever thought about living somewhere else?"
"Um...no." I answered honestly, and Yaoyao choked. "Go to bed early. You need to get up early tomorrow morning and get ready."
I agreed and went to wash up. There were toothbrushes in that era, but they were made of wood. There was a cat pattern on the end of the toothbrush, and I sharpened it until there was not a single burr.
Another way to wash your face is to use rice water and a plant similar to soapberry. This plant is magical and has a fresh fragrance. Your face will be smooth and shiny after washing.
I also use this plant when I take a shower. It makes my body smell good. After taking a shower, I don't like to wear so many clothes. I put on a bra and pants and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
I was so excited that I dreamed that I went back to the past. My mother looked thin and had dark circles under her eyes, which made me feel so sad.
I saw myself lying on the hospital bed, and my mother sat next to me, holding my hand, her lips moving slightly. I couldn't hear what she was saying. My mother seemed like she was possessed.
I reached out to touch my mother, but she turned into a pile of bubbles and disappeared. In her place was darkness, and it seemed as if someone was calling me in the darkness.
