第7章(2 / 2)

安顿好刘师爷搬的三箱书,两驾马车都压到车轴嘎吱嗄吱的,走得极慢。四人都不敢在黑地里赶路,只得早歇晚行,慢悠悠地从顺天府转进永平府,直到第三天上午才赶到了迁安城北的老宅门外。

这座宅子早年间被崔郎中典给一个和他同在县学读书的王秀才开蒙馆。不过去年迁安县与周围大片村子都遭了大水,王相公家里的房子和地淹了,父母都因水灾去世,便把院子退了,自己回村守孝。

这间院子在洪水时也被淹过,后来又空了一年没人住,就显出了几分残破相:如意门的门头上少了许多瓦片,檐下的雕花砖这儿缺一块那儿少一块,墙上爬满青苔。原本红漆大门的也处处脱漆,一把半新不旧的铜锁挂在门上,还是那秀才退房后换的。

崔源下得车来,摸出钥匙开门,叫通州来的赵车夫帮自己卸门槛。

他们这两辆大车嘎吱嘎吱地撵进来,其实早惊动了左邻右舍,周围房门后也有许多人悄悄打量他们。不过这个时候在家的大都是妇人,见赶车的崔源和赵车夫都是壮年男子,便不好上前跟他们说话。

两驾大车一前一后地进了门,赶进二重院子,贴着正房台阶下停住了。

崔源先跳下车,开了正房大门,叫着捧砚拿水进去洒扫,给小主收拾出休息的地方。赵车夫往院子里寻了块木头卡住车轮,从小车上往下搬行李。

崔燮那尊臀是受过伤的,动作大了怕扯掉痂皮,便扶着车门慢慢挪下来,先绕着院子看了一圈。

崔老太爷当初住这房子时是下了本钱翻盖过一回的,砖木都是上好的料子,砌砖的三合土里还掺了糯米汁,虽经风吹雨打多年,墙壁倒还都挺完整。

院子大门开在东南角的坎位,进门正对高高的影壁,门后是一溜倒座房,外院靠西侧有座石砖垒的马棚。影壁上的垂花门和大门正相对,过了垂花门便是主院。院子整体是细长条的,地面铺出一片青石甬道,分别通到正房和两个厢房阶下。院子两侧花圃里长满了野草枯枝,西北角一口八卦井,里面黑幽幽地已没多少水了,井沿爬满的绿苔。

整座院子是四合院的结构,却又跟北京四合院略有区别,正房当中是穿堂,透过门能看见里面二层楼高的后罩房。两侧的耳房长长地往前突,把里面半个院子围成了凹字形。院里四面建着抄手游廊,上头抱着层猪血色的漆,底下的漆皮都泡开了,露出里面本色儿的旧木头。

崔燮心口砰砰地跳,有种出乎意料的幸福感。

这院子怕不得有五六百平米,房子也有二十来间之多,还带花园。搁在前世,他连买这里一间房都买不起,可现在这么大的院子白给他住着,崔源父子还都一副他受苦了的模样。

这样的苦他愿意天天受啊!

这么大的院子就他们仨人住,什么事都能自己做主,这不比关在京城那个家搞宅斗,没事挨板子强多了?

崔燮对着院子唏嘘了一会儿,也走到那辆小车旁,帮着车夫和崔源往下搭箱子。那三个干活的都拦着他,说:“公子是读书人,别搬这些粗重的东西,仔细伤了你的手。”

崔燮袖子都挽起来了,见人家不用他,只好自己挽尊:“那我去找两块木板,你们就把箱子推下来,比抬下来搬省力。横竖箱笼里也没多少值钱东西,摔摔不要紧。”

院子角落里堆着些不知从哪儿拆下来的木板和竹竿,他过去抱了几块,捧砚忙跑过来抢了去,让他上屋里老实歇着。他们父子在车后搭了滑板,挑出几个盛着瓷器、摆件的箱笼捆上,横穿过一根竹竿,请赵车夫帮忙进屋里,剩下的就从直接从板上推下来,省了不少人力。

这边没有崔燮插手的地方,可他一个生在红旗下,长在新社会的大好青年,真不习惯坐着看别人干活,就在旁边转悠着递水、绑绳子,能帮一点是一点。

赵车夫接过水袋喝了几口,羡慕地说:“你家小官人真个会体贴下人。俺在北直隶走过这么多趟车,那些雇车的都恨不得拿人当牛马用,多沉的箱子也要人手抬肩挑,生怕剐蹭掉漆皮,更没见过当主家的亲手给家下人递水的。”

崔源却是心疼得不行:“我家少爷是读圣贤书读到心里去了,仁义……”

崔燮看着正埋头干活的捧砚,默默地想:你亲儿子才值得心疼呢,十三四岁的孩子就给人打工……没人权的封建社会啊。
