When Qiu Ju came back, Dong Mei was just about to fall asleep, only to hear the door "squeak" open, and hurriedly got up to see: "Sister Qiu Ju, why are you back?

Qiu Ju saw Dongmei's envious appearance when she talked about the vigil for Lin Zhixuan, and she also covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at your greedy appearance, can I give you such a blessing?"

Dongmei laughed: "My sister teased me." ”

Qiu Ju stepped forward and took her hand, and said seriously: "I didn't bluff you, the girl asked you to keep vigil, and you don't have to clean up, just hurry over and sleep on my bedding roll, I have already cleaned up in the girl's room." ”

Dongmei was flattered: "I ...... Me?"

Qiu Ju nodded.

Dongmei became more and more flustered: "But how can I ......?"

Qiu Ju had something important to do in her heart, and she didn't dare to talk to her anymore, so she only pulled her, took her a thick coat and put it on, and picked up her clothes and gave her a hand: "The girl has something to tell me temporarily." Now that the girl is injured, there can't be no one around to serve her, and the girl doesn't want others to want you. I don't have anything to tell me, just one thing, remember that you are serving your master, and you must not take out your sleeping appearance here, and you must sleep lightly, and do not call you like I get up early every day, and the girl wants to drink tea when she is thirsty, and she has to poke you with a stick. ”

Dongmei's face turned red when Qiu Ju said: "Sister, you made fun of me again, but I didn't." ”

Qiu Ju also hid her face and smiled, pushing her: "Go quickly." ”

Seeing Dongmei leaving, Qiu Ju hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to take out the silver she had hidden.

This is not to prevent Dongmei, but the little girl in the girl's house always likes to play and frolic in her spare time, and there are always unclean hands and feet when there are too many people, once you lose something, you can't find it.

After all, it was a slave and maid and she couldn't trouble her master, and Lin Zhixuan was just a child before, so how could she manage this kind of thing, so Qiu Ju had to be cautious herself.

This night was destined to be scared, Qiu Ju didn't know if she could come back, so she simply took all the twenty taels of silver, carefully carried it in her arms, and went out with her clothes dressed.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I happened to see the mother-in-law who was in charge of Lin Zhixuan's house was about to lock the door, and Qiu Ju hurriedly greeted her: "Mother Sun, you wait." ”

The grandmother-in-law was also surprised when she looked at the person who came in the dark, but she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "It's Miss Qiu Ju, you didn't go to the third girl's vigil, why did you come out?"

This grandmother-in-law is also the old woman in Lin Zhixuan's room, and she has a bit of status, she is only polite to Chun Tao Xia Lan on weekdays, and she also calls Qiu Ju a lot of girls, and today she even opened her mouth to be "Qiu Ju girl", it seems that Lin Zhixuan asked her to keep vigil in this room also caused a lot of waves.

Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The girl is hungry, let me go and boil some bird's nest porridge." ”

When the grandmother heard this, she frowned: "But in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the girl will accumulate food if I eat again." ”

Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Mom said very much, if it was in the past, we would have stopped the girl from eating indiscriminately at night, but my mother knew that the girl only ate half a bowl of porridge in the morning today, and then hurt her head again, and shed so much blood, she only drank medicine in a day, where can she stand it." It was our negligence, and it was also because the girl said that she was very hungry, so we remembered. ”

When the grandmother heard this, she also said: "This is true, but this lock rule cannot be abolished, not to mention that I will return my wife when I go out in the middle of the night, if I am not allowed to go out in the past." ”

"Mother said very much, but the rules are set by the wife, and we are lying in the wife's heart, when the wife is leaving, she tells her to serve the girl well, if the girl is hungry, then we slaves are not dead?

If you talk about it, the wife has already stopped at this moment, and the wife is also busy for a day, how can she bother the wife with such a thing, besides, mother, think about it, this kind of thing is to sue the wife, and the wife can only tell her to do it quickly, where can she stop it. ”

Qiu Ju said, while stuffing two taels of silver into Sun's mother's hand, that Sun's mother naturally knows the severity, Qiu Ju's monthly money in January is only one hanging, these two taels are Qiu Ju's monthly silver for three months, not to mention an old woman like Sun's mother, besides, this kind of thing should not be stopped in the first place, and Sun's mother is happy to give Qiu Ju a face after taking the silver, so she said: "Then the girl go quickly, and I will open the door for you when I come back." ”

Qiu Ju hurriedly smiled: "Then thank your mother." ”

Saying that Mother Sun sent Qiu Ju out, Qiu Ju didn't dare to delay any longer, the first step was to come out, but the road behind was getting more and more difficult to walk.

Qiu Ju didn't dare to walk on the road, for fear of meeting the mother-in-law who checked the night, although she had a positive manager in her hand, but she couldn't shout to everyone, although it could be used to prevaricate when she was caught, but after all, it was an excuse, and it couldn't be verified. Qiu Ju went out of Lin Zhixuan's yard, and had to pass through the Paulain Pavilion where the Lin family stored the tables and chairs for banquets, and passed through a partition adjacent to the water, which was the residence of the second grandmother Chen, and bypassed the small garden to get to the kitchen facing the outer courtyard.

Qiu Ju cautiously walked through the verandah all the way, and now the door is keyed, except for the mother-in-law who patrols the night, no one comes and goes, and the house is thrifty, so there are not many lights outside at night, even the mother-in-law who patrols the night is also very slack, although Qiu Ju is worried along the way, but as long as she is careful on the road, she is not afraid of being encountered, she is most worried that the kitchen is locked and no one is there.

But she didn't think that just after Baolai Pavilion, Qiu Ju suddenly heard a woman in the flower shadow in the west and whispered: "Someone!"

Qiu Ju was so frightened that her soul was not possessed, and she glanced at it in a hurry, there was no light in the dark shadow, only then the moonlight saw that it looked like a mother-in-law and a maid, Qiu Ju just wanted to pull her legs and run, but her heart turned, since she had been seen, if she hid, it would be more suspicious, and it would be incomprehensible to catch up again, it was better to use the excuse taught by Lin Zhixuan generously, she stood still, but she didn't want the two people over there to see her stand, but she was startled, and she turned around and ran away.

Qiu Ju was stunned in place, she looked up at the Baolai Pavilion on the side, her heart jumped up, the two of them ran when they saw her, and it was an unsightly thing to do.

Qiu Ju didn't have time to think about what they were doing, just a cold sweat rippled, and she didn't dare to hesitate, so she quickened her pace, but she didn't think that just after crossing the small bridge, she found that the courtyard of the second master and the second grandmother not only did not fall the key, but the courtyard door was still open, and the lights inside shone out, and a little maid was standing at the door looking around. Qiu Ju hurriedly hid in the shadows of the flowers and trees on the side, and after a while, she saw two black shadows that looked like little maids, and they didn't shine lanterns, but only came here in the dark.
