The Days of Dressing Up as a Handsome General

"Wow——" put the ingredients into the pot, stir fry them a few times, sprinkle some seasonings, and drizzle with two spoons of soy sauce. One set of actions is smooth and smooth, and the other stove is not idle, and a pot of old duck soup is simmering slowly.

After a while, several dishes of Moran were on the table. I sat at the table and just moved my index finger, eating with great joy.

Moran obediently helped me serve the rice, and then took a fire stick to turn down the fire in the stove, and put a pot of water on the fire to warm it.Mo Ran said that in this way, whether it is drinking tea or taking a bath, it can be prepared quickly, and there is no need to make a temporary fire when cooking.

What amazed me the most was his use of fire. For example, at night, turn down the fire and add half a bowl of rice to one of the pots. In the morning, one of the pots is filled with soft white rice porridge, and the other In the pot is warm water for washing.

A 13-year-old child, there is nothing he can't do in the whole yard, such as fetching water, chopping firewood, cleaning the yard, and even brushing the night stars, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The only housework I can do is to take a feather duster and pick up some dust that I can't see at all, or to hold a feather duster and call Mo Ran's original name - "Mao Tuan, sit down!"

In my opinion, Moran can be said to be diligent to a morbid state.If I don't order him to rest, he can be busy from getting up until night, even if I tell him to sit down, he can move out a broken loom that I don't know where to pick up, and continue his "squeaky" weaving. Cloth, he said, he can weave one and a half copper coins a day, which is 45 copper coins in a month.

It is such a child, his biological father will buy him into a kiln for oppression, if I see that animal father again, maybe I will really pay someone to beat him up.

Every morning when Moran helps me comb my hair, I will be dazed for a moment, and then I will be amused by his words-why does it look so good when I comb it?

Sometimes I will ask Mo Ran to go out for a walk together, and I will buy some novel gadgets when I see them.In the market, I had to wear a veil to avoid the molestation of some despots. After I put on the veil, those desperadoes often molested Moran.

After all, Mo Ran has lived in Yuecheng for so many years. Many people who sell things in the market know him. Seeing him greet those merchants politely, he can even get discounts that ordinary people can't get when buying things. I wondered whether I should hand over the family's financial power to Mo Ran in the future.

I asked Mo Ran: "How do you know all these people?"

"These uncles and aunts are very kind to me. Sometimes when the stalls are busy, I will help. I have money for the food at home, and I will give me very cheap prices when I go shopping." Mo Ran followed behind me , Holding the things I bought in his hand, he replied.

"What does your father do every day? Doesn't he support you?" I stopped in front of a knitting stall.

Mo Ran bit her lip and didn't answer.I glanced at him, pointed to a big basket, and asked the boss, "Uncle, what's the price of this basket?"

Mo Ran hurriedly said, "My lord, I can weave this basket, don't buy it."

"What else do you not know?" I was really curious about how Mo Ran grew up.

Not only did the boss not blame Mo Ran for hindering his business, but he looked at Mo Ran in surprise and said, "Oh, it's a hairball. I changed my clothes, and I don't even know Dad anymore."

"Papa Teng..." Mo Ran looked down at her clothes, and said hello to the uncle with some embarrassment.

The uncle glanced at me and sighed: "I knew your father sold you. He didn't lose his conscience and didn't sell you to the brothel."

I frowned, and looked at Mo Ran with complicated eyes.

Through the veil, the uncle only saw my frown. He thought that Mo Ran had offended me by greeting him, so he hurriedly explained: "Mao Tuan used to help me. Don't blame me, my lord."

"By the way, how did you know that Mao Tuan's father sold him?"

The uncle looked at Mo Ran, and said a little embarrassedly: "I saw him come out of Bifang Building drunk that day. He spent a lot of money in those few days, and he went to casinos and restaurants a lot. We thought maybe he sold our son again."

Bifang Building?Isn't Moran's brother right there?Can such a father really exist in the world?These two brothers were definitely picked up and raised.

Mo Ran's face turned pale when he heard it, his lips trembled uncontrollably, there was no resentment on his whole face, only sadness.

Mo Ran's too kind character made me shake my head, and I said to the uncle: "I bought the hair ball, and now it is called Mo Ran, and it has nothing to do with his animal father for a long time."

The uncle looked at my face, smiled and said: "This child is capable and sensible. He has suffered so much since he was a child. It is his blessing to be able to follow the young master. I hope that the young master will take pity on him. I will give this basket to the young master. No money is required."

It took me a long time to understand the meaning of "pity", I blinked, and then suddenly realized the complicated eyes of those shopkeepers before.

Let me look at Mo Ran, who is your little daughter-in-law with her head down and her lips pursed for?It's okay, what are you doing so good-looking?It's really inexplicable, why do these people think that I bought Moran because of that... It's not good that I don't have a pedophile!

I pointed to the basket, and said to Mo Ran: "I haven't put the things in the basket yet, my hands are all red, hold the basket, let's go!"

I didn't bother to explain at all, just as I was about to take a step, I was stopped by a few young masters.The leader was holding a folding fan, and his handsome appearance was completely ruined by those obscene eyes.

He didn't flirt with him as soon as he came up like ordinary disciples. Instead, he bent down and made a long bow, and said, "Mr. Mo, be polite."

I frowned, feeling disdainful in my heart, because it was not good to touch others' face, so I had to make a shallow bow and deal with it.

I asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Don't dare. I am Lou Lanwang, the nephew of Mrs. Yinru, Yuezhou Prefecture. I heard that Mr. Mo is temporarily staying in Zhu's Mansion. I will visit someday when I have time."

I raised my eyebrows and squinted at Lou Lanwang. Has anyone introduced himself like this?Are you proud of being Fu Yin's little wife and nephew?You are his son, and I also dislike you.

"Mr. Lou, Ming people don't speak dark words. Did you stop my master and servant in the street just to say a visit in the future?"

"Where is it, I have some friendship with Mr. Mo's servants, and I hope Mr. Mo will be accommodating and allow us to take a few steps to talk."

I followed Lou Lanwang's bewitching gaze and turned my head to look, only to see Mo Ran hiding behind me sideways, trying to avoid the sight of Lou Lanwang. Things, I am the master, it is impossible to hold them."

Lou Lanwang didn't ask me for my opinion, but ordered the young masters behind him to pick up the things in Mo Ran's hands. Those young masters almost snatched the big basket from Mo Ran's hands. Touch two on the body.

I gritted my teeth, looked at Lou Lanwang's determined face, and understood in my heart that he was polite to me because of Zhu Yun's relationship, but Mo Ran was just my servant, even if he was dragged to bully by them, it was not a big deal. I'm afraid it's a game to death, Lou Lanwang only needs to pay me with a young man, and I have no reason to pursue it.

Therefore, Mo Ran's identity cannot be a servant, at least not a servant in front of them...

I sneered, stretched out my hand and pulled Mo Ran into my arms, and said: "But he is mine, Mr. Lou, if you have anything to say, you'd better say it in front of my face, otherwise I will be jealous, and he will be the one who suffers."

I purposely spoke ambiguously, the hand holding Mo Ran's wrist did not let go, and Mo Ran's height only reached my shoulders, holding him in my arms really felt a bit like hugging a pet.

Lou Lanwang didn't stop there, and said, "How did I hear that someone saw him go out to buy groceries every morning? Hehe... I don't know if Mr. Mo's bed skills are too good or too bad."

The corners of my mouth under the veil twitched uncontrollably, it seems that Lou Lanwang is really not an easy person to dismiss.

"Ran'er insists on purchasing my meal ingredients himself, so I can only let him go."

"Oh, really? But Mr. Mo knows that he was slept with by his father when he was 12 years old. Who knows how many people his father has let his son sleep with over the past year."

When Mo Ran heard this, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. I looked down at him, and happened to meet the eyes he was looking at me. The pain and helplessness of the exposed scar made his eyes filled with tears.

Lou Lanwang thought that he should add fuel to the fire, and said, "Mr. Mo, as a man, don't you think he is dirty?"

The last one, Lou Lanwang, pierced my heart like a sharp sword, and those people and things that I had deliberately forgotten flooded into my mind again. It has become a forbidden zone in my heart.

"Dirty?" I asked sharply, and spit out a series of curse words without even thinking about it, "You beast, you scum, you are a pig, you don't know how many fucking men you have slept with Woman, Lord knows, you are not dirty!"

Lou Lanwang's face turned blue and red with anger, and then he cursed, "You actually scolded me for your broken shoes? Don't think that you live in Zhufu, I'm afraid of you..."

At this moment, Mo Ran saw that tears welled up in my eyes, and he said, "My lord, I'm sorry."

I patted his head, sighed in my heart, then took off my veil, gave him a reassuring smile, and he still said: "I don't want to be like that..."

I held his face in my hands, wiped away the tears on his face, lowered my head, forehead touched forehead, and sighed: "Silly boy, you are not dirty, not at all."

I took Mo Ran's hand and walked in front of the stunned sons. When I passed Lou Lanwang, I gritted my teeth in his ear and said, "I think you are the dirtiest!"

On the way back, Mo Ran's tears seemed to flow endlessly, I didn't try to persuade him, because I think Mo Ran should cry harder than anyone else.

In the courtyard, a man was dressed in white, with his back to the gate, looking up at the swallow’s nest on the eaves. He didn’t turn around until we approached, and whispered, “Are you back? Let’s go in, keep your voice down, don’t scare the swallows.” , they are making a nest."

I raised my eyebrows, glanced at the swallow's nest on the eaves, and followed Zhu Yun who was muttering into the room.The two sat down, Mo Ran had already walked in with two cups of tea, there was no trace of tears on his face, but his eyes were still red, and he stood obediently aside after serving the tea.

Zhu Yun sized Mo Ran's eyes and said, "It's true that people rely on clothes. Your master will tidy up for you, and this meeting will be pretty and delicious."

I ignored Zhu Yun's joke, and just said: "Zhu Yun, call a cook from you, I need a buyer in my yard."

After what happened today, I no longer feel at ease letting Mo Ran go shopping alone. After all, it is not difficult to tie him up without anyone noticing. I am just an ordinary person, and I have no influence. The only way is to reduce ink dyeing alone to go out.

"So you don't want to? Besides, that kid's craftsmanship is not bad."

Zhu Yun had eaten here twice before. At that time, the wound on Mo Ran's face hadn't healed yet. After tasting his skills, Zhu Yun only said that the 100 taels of silver would be worth it if the cook had been used for ten years.

"You want to take care of it? I want it again now, can't you?" I rolled his eyes at him, thought for a while and said, "I need two more guards."

I have self-knowledge, not only do I have a troublesome face, but I am also powerless. Besides, I don't want to use the things in that box to disguise myself unless it is absolutely necessary.Going out with a guard can also act as a slight deterrent.

"Have you made a fortune? Do the math, a cook in charge of shopping, two second-class guards, a total of three or two per month."

As soon as I heard that Zhu Yun raised the money, I was upset, "I see, I will pay the money, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"No need. I didn't know that the house price had dropped until I came back, and the rent is not that much. Their monthly fee has been deducted from the 20 taels."

My complexion improved a little, and I said, "It's not too bad."

Zhu Yun shook his head straight, muttering in his mouth: "I really don't understand, why did this swiftlet find your miser's eaves to make a nest? This swallow's nest is a sign of auspiciousness, and this is still a swiftlet? After so long, I haven’t even seen a swallow, so you’re taking advantage of it.”

I thought that Zhu Yun is a businessman, so he must also believe in those auspicious omens. From his tone, even this property is like asking someone to check Fengshui.Then he said: "Where is it, I am renting a house, isn't this house still yours? So isn't this Ruizhao also yours?"

"You said, this Rui Zhao is mine!" Zhu Yun's face showed a trace of fanaticism, and he asked again: "Is it really mine?"

With a stiff smile on the corner of my mouth, I said, "Your, your, really yours."

"Great, remember, don't walk around near their nests, and don't clean up there, that will frighten them. If you want the swallows to make a nest with all their strength, within two years, the nest may be It will be bigger than a bowl." Zhu Yun walked around the room excitedly, talking about the rules, "Also, you can't keep dogs, cats, chickens and birds. You have to use the attitude of worshiping the gods Those two swallows offered up."

Suddenly, Zhu Yun looked at Mo Ran and me with a suspicious look, and said, "Is that Rui Zhao really mine?"

I felt that Zhu Yun had an almost fanatical concern for this Rui Zhao, so I had to reaffirm it once again and said, "Yes, it's really yours."

"Okay, the rent has been reduced to February and January, and I will cover all the monthly expenses for the cook and guard." Zhu Yun said without hesitation.

He walked to my side again, put his arms around my shoulders and said, "Mo Yan, you are generous, so I can't be stingy, right? Since you are so partial to me, we two are good brothers, and I won't treat you badly."

I looked at Zhu Yun's different behavior from the past, and wondered in my heart, just now he said I was stingy, what happened to this guy today?Why can't I understand what I'm saying?

I brushed off his hand, then probed his forehead, and said, "February, January, you are not allowed to go back on your word. It's just that you didn't have a fever today, did you?"

He grabbed my hand and said, "I'm normal, then we'll make a deal."

He turned and stared again, and said to Mo Ran: "Remember not to walk up and down from under there, you won't be able to afford to scare the swallows away."

The way he bossed Mo Ran made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I said angrily: "Swallows really want to fly, there is nothing we can do about it, we have to pay for it?"

"A bowl of bird's nest costs 600 taels. Do you know what those two swallows on your roof are? They are swiftlets, and they cost 1000 taels in just two years... Can you make them fly?"

I took my hand out of his palm, pointed at his nose tremblingly, and said between my teeth, "profiteer!"

I thought about it again and asked: "Aren't the bird's nests in the cave? Can the bird's nest under the eaves be eaten?"

Zhu Yun looked contemptuous and said, "Do you know which swallow's nest is edible?"

After Zhu Yun returned that day, he sent three people over. The two guards were called Awei and Awu, and the cook was Aunt Zhang. There was also my name on the post, asking me if I would go.

I saw Mo Ran's expression was different, so I asked him: "Ran'er, do you want me to go?"

Mo Ran quickly waved his hand, "Mo Ran doesn't dare, I just ask you to take me with you if you go."

I thought about it, Mo Ran wanted to follow me, but he just wanted to try his luck to see if he could meet his brother, but what position do I have to attend the banquet among those merchants?Presumably those people wanted to see who Zhu Yun brought to live in Zhu's mansion. If he was a rich and powerful master, he could curry favor as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I don't have what they want here, and I don't want to make friends with those people. , if there are one or two people who have seen Yan Mo in there, I'm afraid they don't know what troubles will be caused.

I asked Ah Wei to call Zhu Yun back, saying that I would not go.

Mo Ran's little face couldn't hide the disappointment, I waited for Ah Wei to go out, then picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Ran'er, if you follow me, you must sever ties with your father first. , no matter how much he begs you, you cannot forgive him, let alone give him money. He is hopeless, do you understand?"

Seeing Moran pursed his lips and nodded, I said again: "In the future, I will give you the money directly. If you want to add anything to the house, you can bring Awei and Awu to buy it. Aunt Zhang also buys ingredients and kitchen supplies from you." Take the money here, take it from me when it’s gone, understand?”

I took out a bank note from my pocket, handed it to Mo Ran, and said, "This is a bank note of 500 taels. We will go to Bifang Building in three days, and you can keep the rest for your household."

Mo Ran's hand holding the bank note was a little trembling, and he said without answering: "One tael of silver is a thousand copper coins, and it can buy more than 200 catties of rice. If you can buy vegetables...Young master, don't put it in Mo Ran Is this okay?"

"Let you go, let you go, you put it away, it's fine if you don't."

Watching Moran fold the banknote carefully and lightly, put it in his sleeve, saying that he is afraid of falling out when cooking, and putting it in his arms, saying that he is afraid of forgetting it when changing clothes, watching him take it out and put it in in a hurry, I think it is funny at the same time, There is also a corner of my heart that hurts slightly. Compared with Mo Ran, what I have experienced before is nothing...

"Just put it under your pillow. After three days, we will invite your brother Mo Xiang to accompany you. The two of you have a good talk for another night. There is not much money left."

Mo Ran raised his face full of disbelief, and his eyes were quickly clouded with water mist. I quickly said, "Don't cry."

Mo Ran bit her lip and tried her best to hold back the tears.

I walked over, lifted his chin, pretended to smile lightly and said to him: "Come on, give me a smile."

A pure and beautiful smile like a lotus bloomed on his face, and a tear, like the morning dew, slid down on his white cheeks like lotus petals.

I don't know if it was the tear or the smile, but there was an inexplicable strange feeling in the corner of my heart that was slightly aching before, and a kiss was branded on his eyes by a strange coincidence.

I said, fool, I forbid you to cry.
