Chapter 202 The Way
There are ten houses in a row, with the stove on the east, the utility room on the west, and a well in the middle of the yard.

Du Qingtan's room is in the middle, with the north and south transparent, it is a good location at first glance.

Cailan was delighted when she saw it, and she smiled and approached Granny Liu: "I'm really sorry for your trouble."

Liu Po ​​smiled and pointed out: "It's a little effort, Mrs. Du hasn't arrived yet, so I'll make preparations now."

Du Qingtan understood, it meant that someone had greeted her in advance.

She was about to ask about the situation, when she saw two people coming out of the row of rooms on the east side.

One is a black and fat woman in her 30s, and the other is a fair woman in her 20s.

Both stood there, staring at her curiously.

In this way, it is not easy to ask more questions.

People came first, but they couldn't live in a good house. She arrived later, but she got the best house. Obviously, she had connections.

She smiled and nodded at the two of them.

While Cailan and Ashinahong were packing their luggage, Granny Liu introduced them: "This is Du Qingtan, and this is Shen Xiaohong."

The fat black woman nodded to Du Qingtan, showing a simple and honest smile.

"This is Lei Yanniang."

The white woman also nodded to Du Qingtan with a faint smile.

Liu Po ​​said: "There are ten people in total, the three of you are the first to arrive, you can get acquainted first, I still have things to do.

Dinner is at the end of Shenshi, so don't delay.If you forget, you need to pay for additional food.

In addition, there will be hot water supply in the morning and evening, and if you miss the time, you will have to pay extra for charcoal. "

Du Qingtan answered yes solemnly, and turned around to greet Assistant Teacher Bai: "Thank you very much, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"It's gone. You..." Assistant Teacher Bai's gaze swept over the three of them slowly: "Get along well."

This is a bit silly.

Du Qingtan looked at Lei Yanniang and Shen Xiaohong, both of them had their eyes half downcast, expressionless.

She thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I just bought some soufflé on the street, and the taste is not bad, will I send some to you two later?"

Shen Xiaohong showed a flattered look: "That's so embarrassing! The soufflé is so expensive!"

Lei Yanniang said flatly, "I don't eat souffle, thank you."

Du Qingtan didn't care, and after a few casual chats, he said he was going to pack his luggage and leave.

Almost as soon as she turned around, Lei Yanniang strode away, then closed the door tightly, and never showed up again.

However, Shen Xiaohong walked back and forth in the yard several times, clenched her hands tightly and put them down before going back to her room.

Ashinahong said that he was helping to arrange the luggage, not letting it go.

Instead, he moved tables and cabinets with Cailan in a decent manner, hung up bills, and took a bamboo pole and tied it to a broom to sweep the cobwebs on the roof and the dust on the beams.

Du Qingtan went in and turned around before being kicked out, saying that she was afraid of getting her hair and clothes dirty.

She was bored, so she simply sat at the door, squinting her eyes in a daze.

"Xiao Du..." Shen Xiaohong opened the door a crack, and beckoned to her with a smile: "Come and sit."

Idle is also idle, Du Qingtan got up and went over.

When passing by Lei Yanniang's house, the window opened a crack, and then closed again with a "creak".

She also ignored, and entered Shen Xiaohong's room with a smile.

"They're cleaning the house, they don't let me stay inside, thanks to my sister calling me."

Shen Xiaohong's room is obviously much smaller than hers, and it is next to the kitchen, so the sound of the cook chopping wood can be heard.

The furnishings inside are also very simple, there is only a couch, no curtains, a seat, a low table, a cabinet, and a small bookshelf, all of which are old.

A small makeup box was placed near the window, the paint on it had long since faded, and a basin stand was placed beside it, holding a new wooden basin.

Shen Xiaohong wiped the seat vigorously with a handkerchief before inviting Du Qingtan to sit: "My room is no bigger than my sister's, so don't hold it against me."

"No." Du Qingtan sat down, and Shen Xiaohong handed her another glass of warm water: "Are you thirsty? Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Du Qingtan only touched his lips slightly and then put it down.

Shen Xiaohong took a seat next to her, looked at her and said, "Where is my sister from? I'm from Yuezhou, and I just arrived yesterday."

Du Qingtan replied: "I'm from Chang'an, sister can call me Wu Niang."

Shen Xiaohong clapped her hands: "Chang'an, that's really amazing. Looking at you like this, you have a different demeanor! You also have a good temper, unlike some people who think they are great."

"Hehe..." Du Qingtan didn't know if this was referring to Lei Yanniang, anyway, just don't talk casually.

Shen Xiaohong lowered her voice again: "I see, you have connections, right? I heard that we have selected a total of ten people this time, but only two."

Du Qingtan really didn't know this, so he told the truth.

As for the connection or something, she didn't admit it either.

"I don't have any connections. I suddenly received an order, so I came here in a hurry. I don't know as much as my sister."

Shen Xiaohong looked at her suspiciously, and smiled slightly: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, I understand. But it's just, if there is something, let's talk about it."

"Oh." Du Qingtan asked back: "It seems that my sister must have a connection."

Shen Xiaohong denied: "That's not true! Look at me, poor and unattractive, and come from such a far place, what kind of connections can I have? If there is, I would have lived with Wu Niang in a big house long ago!"

Du Qingtan just laughed, the meaning of these words is very deep.

She is from Chang'an, she is good-looking, and she lives in a big house with her servants.

So there must be a way.

Xia Chong can't say anything, and he won't believe his excuses, so it's better to keep silent.

She stood up: "I seem to hear the servant girl calling me, I'll go and have a look."

Shen Xiaohong reluctantly said: "Come and sit often when you have time."

"Okay." Du Qingtan went out, and when he passed Lei Yanniang's room, he saw the door was open, Lei Yanniang was sitting inside and looked at her coldly.

She nodded slightly, and returned to the room without haste.

Ashinahong had already finished the rough and clumsy work, and said goodbye to her while wiping off his sweat: "I'm going first, and I'll talk to you when the arrangement is settled."

Du Qingtan felt that the two golden beans just given were worth a lot.

So she said very kindly: "If you are not acclimatized or something, just come to me."

Ashina Hong glared at her: "Are you cursing me to be sick?"

"I'm talking about just in case, just in case." Du Qingtan bowed apologetically: "Go now."

Ashina was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "My lord said, don't be afraid when encountering things, and don't back down if you shouldn't, let me tell you."

After saying this, as if afraid of being rejected, he ran away in a hurry.

Cailan dangled a rag in her hand: "Wu Niang, you can't get rid of your favor!"

Du Qingtan didn't say anything, took the quilt and came out to lay it out, and then confessed: "Be careful with drinking water."

From the very beginning, she already felt that weird atmosphere.

 Ask for a monthly ticket.
