And the perilla that has been waiting next to him is not so comfortable.

She sat on the small pistle in the corner of the wall, holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, embroidering with a heavy heart, her eyes swept over Erfu and Xiaoqi from time to time, seemingly careless, but in fact she was carefully observing.

Unlike the fourth master's guess, she was not trapped by love, and voluntarily and consciously betrayed Xiao Qi, but was coerced.

As an inconspicuous palace maid in the Fourth Master's Mansion, Zi Su didn't want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, after all, even if she was beautiful, she was also the person in front of Xiao Qi, that is, she could attract the attention of the Fourth Master and the brothers in the house, and no one would accept her into the room regardless of etiquette, so she has always been very clear about her own position, but she is such a person who knows her duties best, she still can't help but be attracted by a certain guard who guards the safety of the back house.

Because the palace maids can leave the palace when they are twenty-five years old, this is the ancestral training, that is, they are the palace maids who are assigned to serve in the princes' mansions of various clans, and they also follow this rule, unless there is special grace from the master.

However, in this era of early marriage and early childbearing, twenty-five years old is a well-deserved older leftover girl, how can any good family have these palace maids who leave the palace to choose, not to mention an orphan girl like her, Zi Su is unwilling to become a widower stepmother who died early, and she is more worried about being a stepmother to someone else as soon as she enters the door, and she doesn't dare to ask Xiao Qi to call the shots and leave the house at the best age, so she pays more attention to the guards in the house.

These guards don't look high-level, but they are all children of the Eight Banners, and some of them are still nobles.

As long as she can make one of them willingly ask to marry, Fujin and Xiaoqi will not stand in the way, but this kind of thing, in the end, is not in accordance with the rules, before being discovered, she crossed the clear road in front of the master, then it is okay to say, I am afraid that before the good thing is done, it has been discovered, then her good life will come to an end.

With such a calculation, it is not easy for Zisu to reach the guards in the mansion.

After all, the guards on duty outside the house can't easily contact the ladies of the back house, this is a taboo thing, who is not a fool, who can put a good future regardless of it, but there are exceptions to everything, not to mention the situation of being calculating and unintentional, Shisu is in great difficulty, in the end, he is still in contact with a Han army flag guard who was born under the five banners.

It was an afternoon, and it was her turn to leave the house.

This is also the grace of Erfu who feels sorry for the palace maids in the house who cannot return home to visit once during the New Year's Festival, and allows the palace maids to go out of the house once a month on the day of rest, or return home to visit relatives, or go out to buy some needles, threads and other gadgets, as long as they return to the house before sunset.

Zi Su is Xiao Qi's eldest palace maid, and she has three days off every month, and no one has carefully checked the number of times she has left the house, so since she made up her mind to marry the guards in the house, she will run out three times a month, wandering outside the front door from morning to night, hoping to have a chance encounter on the street with the guards in the house she misses, and the three smiles and mercilessly set up a super friendship relationship.

Outside the front door, there are mixed fish and dragons, there are children of the Eight Banners who carry cages and birds, listen to music and watch plays, there are artists who go to Beijing to beg for a living, and there are also ruffians who wander the streets.

Shisu's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but in the end she is a young girl with beautiful facial features, plus she has a lot of monthly money, Xiaoqi and Erfu often have rewards, and the house customizes new clothes for the palace maids who serve in the house on a monthly basis, so compared to those miserable people who beg for life on the street, she is too outstanding.

However, there are no maids and servants around her, and she behaves in a manner, and she doesn't seem to be a big family sneaking out to see a fresh young lady, so Shisu naturally became the object of special attention of those ruffians outside the front door.

On that day, she still wore the lilac gown skirt cut and embroidered by the Suzhou embroidery master she specially asked the needlework room, and appeared outside the front door with eyebrows and sideburns, grease and powder, and her every move was contrived, and she sat in the tea shop on the side of the street like a willow, and before the warm tea was delivered to her lips, a splashy skin with a small short pigtail and a sloppy fuchsia horse coat with a small short pigtail on the back of her head and a sloppy sloppy wearing a fuchsia horse coat sat beside her.

After a rather cliché pickle girl conversation, Splash has already touched her hairily.

Shisu was frightened, she had never seen this kind of scene, she threw down a few coppers in a panic, and ran outside, this is her lack of knowledge, if she sat indifferently in the tea shop, the guys in the tea shop and the shopkeeper came to solve the siege, because if the guys in the tea shop and the shopkeeper did not come forward to protect the guests in their own shop, no one would come to take care of their business in the future, after all, no one likes to stay in an insecure place.

However, she was in a panic, where did she dare to stay where she was, so she naturally left in a hurry.

As soon as Shisu left like this, the guys and shopkeepers in the tea shop would not be nosy to chase after and dissuade them, after all, they were not guests in their own shops, or they were in trouble, and others couldn't blame them, so why should they provoke these ruffians who were fooling around outside the front door, and maybe they would even hurt their own money and suffer crimes.

She hurried out of the tea shop, no longer caring about her manners, and found an alley and went in.

Seeing this, the ruffian who followed closely behind her had no scruples, and chased after him, blocking Shisu in a dead end, and was about to pull the clothes on her body as she spoke.

Zisu's sharp cry for help soon reached the ears of Xiu Mu's guards at home.

The guard was moving his muscles and bones in the courtyard shirtless, and when he heard the woman's cry for help outside, he didn't think much about it, pushed open the door and came out, raised his leg and kicked the splash that was sticking to Shiso's body to the ground, and scolded disdainfully: "Get out!" and pulled Shisu, who was leaning against the wall and couldn't move, into the courtyard.

He did it out of sheer kindness.

His family has lived outside the front door for decades, and this is the neighborhood and the street ruffians who are all around him know that there are officials in his family, don't look at the official position, but in the end, he is an official, and no one dares to provoke the people in their family, especially when he usually returns to the house in that bright armor, no one dares to trouble their family.

He pulled Shisu into the door, in fact, he was afraid that the ruffian he drove away would continue to pester Shisu at the mouth of the alley.

After all, these ruffians all know that the alley where his family lives is the exit at the corner of the street, as long as they wait outside, they can wait until the perilla comes out, and he pulls the perilla in, thinking that he will go to the fourth master's mansion to pay for it later, and he will take the perilla out by the way, and save those ruffians from entangled with perilla.

His act was purely kind, because he had no idea who he had saved.

However, when Zisu saw the set of guard armor hanging in his yard, she had a thought in her heart, and secretly felt that it was an opportunity given to her by God, otherwise how could she meet the guard she had in mind when she was in danger.

What follows is too cliché.

The goddess has intentions, and King Xiang has intentions.

The guard who saved Zisu was born in the Han Army Banner of the Five Banners, and his position in the Eight Banners was quite embarrassing, coupled with the appearance of a rough and lively black Li Kui, and there was a scar on his face from the corner of his eyebrows and straight lips, which was simply broken, and it was impossible to find a wife who was the right person, so after Zisu took the initiative to show goodwill, he was also attracted by the gentle and careful Shisu.

Hou Dalie, that is, the guard who saved Shisu.

He was born five big and three coarse, and his mind was also coarse, Zisu and he had been eyebrows for more than a year, and he didn't expect to ask the masters in the house to call the shots, welcome Shisu into the door, and wait for Zisu to turn 25 years old and leave the house, but Zisu was embarrassed to take the initiative to mention this matter, and this back and forth, so he delayed.

Just when Zisu was struggling with whether to take the initiative to remind Hou Dalie, the relationship between Zisu and Hou Dalie was exposed.

On that day, Zisu, who was resting again, took the new robe she made for Hou Dalie out of the house, and before she walked out of the alley behind the Fourth Master's Mansion, she met a woman who covered her face with a black veil, and the woman didn't talk to her, and directly stuffed her with a small note full of words.

Shisu opened the note with a confused face, and lost the burden in his hand in despair.

The content of the note is very simple, it is nothing more than a threat to her, if she refuses to do things for herself, she will expose the misdeeds between her and Hou Dalie, and then not only will she be unlucky, but Hou Dalie, who has made a personal agreement with her for life, will also be unlucky.

It was when she was in love, where was Zisu willing Hou Dalie to lose his errand for her!

Zi Su was lucky, and did not tell Hou Dalie about it, nor did he urge Hou Dalie to go to his master to ask for marriage, and ran to Hou Dalie's house three times a month as usual, and lived a happy time with Hou Dalie as usual, and the woman who covered her face did not appear in front of her.

Just when she was about to forget about it, that is, not long ago, a note was stuffed into her hand again, and it was still sent by the woman with her face covered when she went out of the mansion to have a private meeting with Hou Dalie.

This time, the content of the note showed a specific dispatch.

Zi Su didn't understand why the person who threatened her did all this useless work, but the person who wrote the note also left a guarantee, promising that after she had done this, he would not come to harass her again, and she would not delve into it anymore, and very decisively followed the instructions of the person who wrote the note, went to the bookstore to buy the popular book of gods and monsters, and secretly pretended to scare Xiao Qi at night.

And then, she also knew why the person who wrote the note asked her to do such seemingly useless things!

Little Seven Grid has a nightmare.

Zisu is an old man who has been with Xiao Qi for some years, she not only treats Xiao Qi as the master carefully, but also takes care of Xiao Qi as her own sister, Xiao Qi has nightmares, and she can't sleep well for a few nights, she is also distressed, but when she thinks of the fate caused by the revelation of her and Hou Dalie, she has to harden her heart and follow the instructions of the person who wrote the note.

Fortunately, Chang Fujin came to accompany Xiao Qi, and she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But this time, she received a note from the woman who covered her face, and along with the note, there was also a package of dark brown powder, and she was often in contact with spices, and she could easily distinguish the composition of these powders, which was a spice with a very good sleeping effect, a handful of them were enough to make people sleep all night, and after using it, it was not easy for people to notice that something was wrong, and it was worth a lot of money, and it was not a valuable thing that could not be used by non-official eunuchs.

After receiving this package of powder, Shisu confirmed her suspicions, and the person who coerced her behind the scenes must have been a certain master in the house.

It should be the person who coerced her behind the scenes to see that Chang Fujin moved over to be Xiao Qigege's companion, and Xiao Qigege was no longer troubled by nightmares, and he was anxious, so he would send such a sleeping spice to facilitate himself to continue to pretend to be a ghost and scare Xiao Qigege.

Shisu was very hesitant, she didn't know how to choose......

Because although she didn't know why the people who coerced her behind the scenes asked her to do this, she knew that if she continued like this, she would definitely hurt Xiao Qi Gege, Xiao Qi Gege treated her very well, not only rewarded her richly, but also had a friendly and polite attitude, and even made her, a servant who was a palace maid, feel the warmth she had never had, and she really couldn't bear to hurt Xiao Qi.

However, she didn't dare to disobey the arrangement of the person who wrote the note, because it was about her and Hou Dalie's future.

At this moment, Zi Su regretted a little, regretting why she had to keep a useless reserve, and urged Hou Dalie to ask for marriage in front of the master of Fujin earlier, that is, she couldn't marry Hou Dalie immediately, but after she crossed the bright road, she wouldn't have been coerced into doing things by the person who wrote the note, or after she received the first note, she should take the initiative to confess to Fujin, and she wouldn't fall into such a dilemma.

It's a pity that Shisu was a little late in trying to figure out this.

She has already betrayed Xiao Qigege, and even made Xiao Qigege have nightmares for several days in a row, and if she wants to confess at this time, no matter how generous the master of Fujin is, it is impossible not to care...... Shiso sat on the small pestle and thought in a mess.

"You're tired these days, go back and rest early!" Erph said with a smile when she noticed that something was wrong with Shiso.

She didn't want to leave such an uncertain and dangerous person in front of her own Xiaoqi, who knew what kind of thing Zi Su would do when she was emotional!

When Shisu heard this, she came back to her senses, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, curtsied, and withdrew from the upper room, until she walked out of the door, and she found that the embroidered handkerchief in her hand had been pierced into a sieve by herself with an embroidery needle.
