Chapter 8: The Pit Daddy's Marriage Contract
Cheng Mo soon discovered that the fat figure as big as a bucket was a woman, and the one holding the lantern seemed to be a maidservant, walking to the side with the lantern, and the woman rushed towards him quickly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Gorou ......" A delicate call sounded in the alley, and Cheng Mo's goosebumps fell to the ground.
The woman arrived in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind. Cheng Mo stepped back again and again, and shouted: "Who?" ”
It's so weird, if it weren't for the fact that this is a residential area, he would have suspected that the woman was a ghost or a fox. Otherwise, why did he run to his house in the dark?
The woman ignored it and threw herself straight at him.
Cheng Mo sideways to dodge.
The woman fell to the screams of the maidservant.
"My Gorou is still so hard-hearted."
The woman got up from the ground, and under the lantern, a pair of eyes that were squeezed by fat flesh and only a slit were left, looking at Cheng Mo resentfully.
Her face was full of fat meat, and the powder on her face was at least three inches thick, and she was in a hurry just now, and her muscles were shaking, and now the powder fell down, which looked shocking. Cheng Mo endured it so that he didn't vomit.
The maid couldn't stand it anymore, glared at Cheng Mo, and said, "The girl has been waiting for you here for an afternoon, why did you come back at this time?" Gambling again? ”
Waiting for him here for an afternoon? Cheng Mo guessed that the woman might have something to do with his body, so he turned his face away from her, and said in a light tone: "I don't remember the past, may I ask who your girl is?" ”
At least report to your home and talk about your relationship with the previous Cheng Mo. Thinking that although he was lucky to get this body and was able to continue to live, the owner of this body brought him a lot of trouble, and Cheng Mo was helpless.
The woman froze, unable to accept Cheng Mo's amnesia. The maidservant didn't know what was said in her ear, but her eyes lit up, and she said, "Don't you really remember anything?" ”
"Yes." Cheng Mo turned his face away and didn't see her burning little eyes.
The woman sighed softly and said, "We have a marriage contract, and I am your unmarried wife." How can you forget me? ”
"What?!" Rao is Cheng Mo is calm by nature and has experienced countless storms, and he was also startled at this time.
The woman just looked at him with resentment, as if he was the reincarnation of Chen Shimei.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not early, so let's go back. Cheng Mo fled, took three steps and made two, quickly rushed into the small courtyard, closed the firewood door, and his little heart was pounding. It's such a pit, how can you have a marriage contract with such a woman! Cheng Mo touched his face and smiled bitterly.
What he didn't know was that when the woman saw him fleeing in embarrassment, not only did she not get angry, but she covered her mouth and laughed with the maidservant.
Early the next morning, Wukong sent someone to send an invitation and invited Cheng Mo to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a drink in the afternoon. Cheng Mo agreed.
Turn left out of the laneway, cross three lanes, and there is a noodle stall. Cheng Mo drinks white porridge every day, and his mouth is already very light. There was no copper plate in his pocket before, but yesterday Wukong borrowed money, and when he went to the Drunken Immortal Building with Wukong, he exchanged a silver ticket of ten taels on the way. Now that I have a copper plate in my hand, I naturally have to change my taste.
In front of the noodle stall, many people were holding a big bowl and eating sweetly, and the man in charge of the spoon was a man in his thirties. ”
Cheng Mo nodded. A young man in his early twenties next to him glanced at Cheng Mo with suspicious eyes, and said, "Do you have a copper plate?" ”
The imperial court stipulated that the common people could only use copper coins and silver tickets for daily consumption, and only the government could use silver. This is also the reason why Cheng Mo redeemed the silver ticket yesterday.
Cheng Mo's chin was raised high, he was very arrogant, and he didn't look at the youth.
The young man felt bored, turned to the stall owner and said, "Uncle, be careful that someone loses all their money and has no money." ”
The stall owner laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't it just a bowl of noodles?" Folks, you care about what to do so much, and you can pay it back when Gorou has plenty in his hands. ”
also thinks that Cheng Mo has no money to repay the debt.
When the young man and the stall owner were talking, the people eating noodles around the stall all looked at Cheng Mo, their eyes were complicated, some were contemptful, some were hateful, some were pity, and so on. One said, "I have a few copper plates here, so let's lend them to Goro." ”
The corners of Cheng Mo's mouth twitched, and he grabbed a handful of copper coins from his purse and placed them next to the smoke-emitting cauldron.
When these people saw that Cheng Mo was a copper plate in his hand, there were more than a dozen words, and they couldn't help but let out a "huh", and the young man stared at him even more wide-eyed, looking at him in disbelief.
Cheng Mo didn't know how much a bowl of noodles was worth, and he was still paying for it. He saw the stall owner pull off pieces of dough from the dough with a thumb-wide and two inches long, and the thin pieces of dough were boiled in water, some with lard and green onions, and some with chicken and duck, which smelled very fragrant, and must have been similar to modern noodles.
As he took out the money, there were more and more people with wide-eyed eyes.
The stall owner didn't expect Cheng Mo to be rich, so he hurriedly said: "Enough is enough." ”
I just picked up a bowl, wiped my hands on the greasy apron, counted enough copper plates, returned the rest to Cheng Mo, and said, "These are enough." ”
The young man's face was a little unsightly, he snorted, and said, "You won't win the bet last night, right?" ”
Someone said one after another: "I can't see it, he still has copper plates on him." ”
The person who wanted to lend money to Cheng Mo advised: "Wulang, you have a few money in your hand, but you can't gamble." ”
Cheng Mo nodded at the man, turned his head and said coldly to the young man, "Can you manage it?" ”
You don't care where my money comes from!
The young man's face was red and white, and he held back for a long time, and said: "Even if you have a few dollars now, you will lose it later." ”
Cheng Mo sneered: "I'm willing, can you manage it?" ”
Someone let out a low laugh, and a crisp female voice said, "But no, he's willing, can you handle it?" ”
A few people burst out laughing. The young man couldn't hold back his face, glared at Cheng Mo fiercely, took the bowl and walked away a few steps, making it look like he was concentrating on eating noodles, without looking at Cheng Mo.
For this kind of person, Cheng Mo naturally won't pay attention to it. At this moment, the stall owner cooked the noodles and brought them over. Cheng Mo followed the example of the others, took the bowl, and went to the side to eat.
Inside the bowl was chicken, an egg, and some green plants, like dogwood, which tasted delicious.
Years of pampering and pampering habits have made Cheng Mo eat very elegantly. He is good-looking, his posture is as straight as a tree, standing in the crowd and standing out from the crowd, eating noodles elegantly, it is simply a scenery, the focus of attention.
After eating for a while, I felt that a line of sight had been cast on my face, and when I turned my head to look over, I saw that two or three people were separated, and a round-faced girl looked at him obsessively.
Presumably she was the one who helped just now. Cheng Mo smiled at her. The girl bowed her head a little shyly.
After eating a bowl of noodles, the sun has risen high. Cheng Mo walked to the market where cattle were bought and sold and bought a horse to travel. The horses were very ordinary, and the price was not expensive, but there was not much left of fifty taels of silver.
In his previous life, he had raised a few horses in a villa in Europe, and he was still good at riding, but he was not as skilled in equestrianism as his colleagues. Cheng Mo thought that in order to adapt to the new environment, he had to practice equestrianism and learn archery, otherwise, he would be exposed.
He rode to the palace, and when the guards saw him, they gave him a rare smile and said, "Gorou is here." ”
Cheng Mo laughed with him and entered the palace gate.
