Chapter 4: Overboard

The three of them turned around in surprise, only to see that the person who came was a child who was shorter than the water slave, walking calmly and staringly, as if he was still holding something in his hand.

"Qilang-kun?" Rong Liu said in surprise, "Why did you come here, if Sanniang knows, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Yin Ying only looked at the tomb and said, "I came here today and my mother didn't know. ”

Then he didn't care about the three of them, but sat down cross-legged in front of the tomb, opened the book in his hand, and recited in a low voice in the moonlight.

Only then did the water slave realize that what he was holding was a Buddhist scripture. Rong Liu had heard some rumors about this Shichiro-kun, but he never thought that he would come over to recite scriptures for an unknown maid.

After a while, when the three of them saw him stand up, they dared to make a sound, Rong Liu hurriedly stepped forward to gently pat the dust off his culottes for him, Yin Ying thanked him, and then left quietly as he came.

The water slave was a little surprised, "This Shichiro-kun is here to overdo it?"

"It should be, it's like what Shichiro-kun would do. Rong Liu replied in a low voice, "In the Yin family, the most despised slave and maidservant's life, except for Wulangjun is this Qilangjun, although he is young, his personality is old and stereotyped, but I heard that he is a person with a Buddha heart, and it seems that today, the rumors should be true." ”

On the way back for the three of them, the water slave expressed his gratitude to Rong Liu for his previous care, and Rong Liu replied:

"Water slave, you don't have to be polite, as a slave, it is already difficult to survive, and you should cherish it even more, shouldn't you? Besides, I have heard Rong Bi say about you, and it is also sympathetic for you to cause such a catastrophe at such an age. ”

The water slave was a little surprised, it was difficult for there to be such a kind-hearted person in this servant, thinking that in the inner courtyard of the palace, no matter how high or low the status is, which one is not suspicious and eyeing the tiger?

"Water slave?" Rong Liu saw that she was silent, and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, what are your plans now?"

The water slave said: "Since he was saved by the Yin family, it can be regarded as fate, can the water slave stay in the Yin family as a slave and a maid?" It can also be regarded as repaying Wulangjun's life-saving grace, but I don't know if it will make Sister Rong Liu embarrassed?"

"It's nothing. Rong Liu said, "But the servant has to report to the manager of the garden." ”

The water slave said little, and after thanking him, he didn't say much.

The next day, the water slave was arranged to be a rough girl, and for the time being, she followed Rong Liu to familiarize herself with the rules of the Yin family, so she even moved to a relatively simple house next to Rong Liu.

In the Yin family, or in any family of this era, the status of slaves and maids is extremely low, and even more so than livestock. Like the previous four ladies Yin Luo's fierce killing of concubines is also common. No one will beak anything.

The person who has always lived above the nine heavens, once he was pulled off the altar, he was a water slave with the heart of the nine tricks, and it was difficult to adapt to the life of this person in the day and night, and she was arrogant by nature, although she tried her best to restrain herself, but she still caused a lot of trouble, thanks to Rong Liu's many reminders, it can be regarded as a thrill.

The Yin family has a strict hierarchy, and the water slaves have never had the opportunity to leave the house. Of course, now that she doesn't know the situation in Xin'an Palace, she doesn't dare to rashly go out of the palace and throw herself into the net, let alone return to Jiankang under Li Lingrong's nose.

On this day, the water slave had just finished cleaning in the kitchen, and before he could catch his breath when he returned to the house where he lived, he saw Rong Liu carefully carrying some clothes in.

"Sister Rong Liu, what is this?"

"This is Erlangjun's incense-scented clothes?" Rong Liu's eyes were always on the clothes in his arms, and he smiled brightly, "I can't leave now with some things, so I bother you to help me send them over." ”

"Okay. "Although I was a little puzzled why Erlangjun's clothes appeared in Si Yuan, I didn't plan to ask.

"Wait a minute. When the water slave took the clothes and was about to go out, Rong Liu stopped her again.

"Anything else?"

Rong Liu hesitated for a moment, and explained with some twist: "The slave went to the Yuanhua lady in Erlangjun's yard yesterday to ask for needlework, and it happened that they said that the lady who was responsible for giving Erlangjun's clothes and incense had an urgent matter to return home, so the slave did it for him." ”

"Oh. "The water slave doesn't understand very well, what does this have to do with her?

As if he felt that he had explained too much, Rong Liu said with some desire to cover up:

"Water slave, you are not familiar with the worldly customs in this house, just hand over your clothes to the maid at the gate of the courtyard. ”

The water slave went out with his clothes and walked to the courtyard of Yin Zhao, the second lang of the Yin family. Although the Yin family's master, the water slave, had never seen any of them, Rong Liu specially asked people to take her through the location of these courtyards.

There is a lake full of lotus flowers outside the courtyard of Yinzhao, and there is a pavilion on the lake, which is naturally closer to the pavilion than other roads that go around the lake in half a circle.

It's just that the pavilion seems to be very lively today, there seem to be a few people in the pavilion talking about something, and there are more than a dozen maidservants around them, although they are just standing on the side in a regular manner, but occasionally whispering, as if they are watching something lively.

The water slave was about to take a detour to leave, when suddenly a voice that seemed somewhat familiar came, which also made her hold back.

"Brother. Yin Nuan stood on the stone bridge outside the pavilion, her delicate brows furrowed, and her delicate face had a helpless look, "The servant once said that the servant doesn't like to talk. ”

Yin Zhao smiled nonchalantly when he heard this, and after applying a thin powder to his cleanly shaved face, he was even more feminine and handsome, "Ah Nuan, my father once said that you are so talented that it is difficult to have an opponent among your age, why do you look down on Brother today and refuse to talk about it?"

As he spoke, he picked up the fresh fruit in his hand and peeled it and handed it to the woman next to him, "Liuniang, you can also taste it, this fruit tastes good." By the way, Ah Nuan, it's rare that Liuniang is here today, how about letting her see your talent too?"

Yin Nuan was unmoved, "The servant said that he didn't like it, and he didn't plan to talk to anyone." ”

"From the perspective of the concubine, it's not that you don't like it, but you can't do it at all?" The woman sitting next to Yin Zhao, the sixth concubine of the Yin family, Yuan, smiled and took the fruit handed by Yin Zhao, and said with some sarcasm.

"Ah Nuan, but really?" Yin Zhao pretended to be surprised, "It's really as Liu Niang said, with your talent and learning, you can't even talk the simplest?" If that's the case, I don't worry about letting little brother follow you all day long." ”

Yin Nuanjunxiu's brows furrowed at the obvious difficulties of the two, and then he said indifferently: "Since Brother thinks so, the servant is not good at it." As for who Ah Yingai follows, it is his own volition, and he can't help it. If the brother had nothing else to do, the servant went back first. ”

"Yin Nuan. Yin Zhao said angrily, "Are you perfunctory to me?"

Seeing this, the water slave knew the antecedents of this farce, and glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Langjun, who was standing outside the pavilion, and then lowered his eyes and planned to leave.

"Wait. Suddenly, a female voice sounded, successfully turning everyone's attention from Yuan's body to the water slave, only to hear Yuan's sharp voice, "That maid over there, come here." ”

The water slave was stunned, and saw that the other party was obviously targeting him, so he had to step forward with his clothes and stand at the bottom left of Yin Nuan. Stiffened for a moment, Fang held his clothes and saluted:

"The maid has seen Liuniang, Erlangjun and Wulangjun, I don't know what Liuniang has to call the maidservant?"

"Hmph. Qian snorted coldly, "It's rude to come and go, you are not a small, if I don't call it, you want to leave in a grand manner?"

The water slave said: "Liuniang forgive me, it's not that the maid is rude, it's just to send clothes to Erlangjun, it's not good to delay again......"

Before the words fell, a teacup had already flown in the direction of the water slave, and only to hear Yuan's cold voice:

"This garment is also qualified to be touched by you, a servant girl?"

The water slave didn't have time to think about it, and ducked to the side in a panic, but he didn't want to "plop" it, and this time he actually knocked Yin Nuan, who was standing not far from the right front, into the lake.

"Ah!" The scene suddenly became panicked, only to hear the maid who followed Yin Nuan exclaimed, "Help, Gorou-kun can't water." ”

The maid was in a panic, and a few pieces of incense clothes were suddenly stuffed into her hands, and there was another "plop" over there, and the water slave who had hit the person just now had already jumped into the lake.
