Chapter 25: The Backyard
"No need. Ah Yuan glanced at Yin Xin, who was sitting next to Yin Nuan, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wulangjun doesn't have to worry about us, just me and Sister Shuinu follow behind." Isn't that right, Sister Water Slave?"
The water slave nodded, "Naturally, it's good." ”
"Forget it. Yin Xin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Water slave, come up too!"
Now that Yin Xin had spoken, Yin Nuan called Ah Yuan into the carriage, and the rest of the slaves followed.
The water slave wanted to refuse, but there was no good excuse for a while, and when he saw that Ah Yuan had already gotten into the carriage, he had to follow.
After Ah Yuan got into the carriage, he naturally sat next to Yin Nuan, and Yin Xin on the other side saw the water slave coming up and subconsciously let go inside, but the water slave sat directly next to Ah Yuan without squinting, fortunately, there was a lot of space in the carriage, and it was more than enough for four people.
Yin Xin was a little depressed in her heart, but thinking that the other party was just a maid, it was not easy to have a seizure.
Ah Yuan was originally a good kinetic character, but at this moment, it may be because Yin Xin was sitting opposite, she shrunk and shrunk herself as much as possible to reduce the sense of storage. Yin Nuan took out one of the volumes he bought before and flipped through it casually. The water slave lowered his eyes, looking at his nose and nose, as if he had been isolated from the outside world. Yin Xin leaned on the cushion behind him, looked at the water slave a few times, and suddenly asked her:
"I see that you are dignified and have a moderate advance and retreat, but have you ever studied?"
The water slave nodded: "Hui San Langjun, the servant can only read a few words." ”
"Not bad, either. Yin Xin thought for a while and asked, "It's rare to be able to read a few words as a houseservant, but what else can there be?"
The water slave shook his head: "The maid has limited intelligence, but she can do some rough work of sweeping the floor and chopping wood." ”
Yin Xin was a little disappointed when he heard this, and after a while, he asked the water slave some other questions such as where he lived and how old he was, and the water slave answered them one by one. Until the carriage stopped, and the coachman didn't have time to report, Yin Nuan put down the book and interrupted Yin Xin:
"Third brother, it's here. ”
Yin Xin got out of the car, planning to go back to the situation of the Yin family's housewife today, and Fang remembered the incident about Her Royal Highness the princess falling into the water, and the mood that had been slightly relieved became heavy again.
Saying goodbye to Yin Xin and returning to the Shuyan Pavilion, Yin Nuan and the water slave put the books they bought today on the bookshelf one by one. The water slave was about to leave, when Yin Nuan suddenly spoke:
"Water slave, are you unhappy today?"
The water slave turned back in surprise, "Why did Gorou-kun say this?"
Yin Nuan smiled and said, "Although you are not always as elated as Ah Yuan on weekdays, today is especially sullen. After thinking about it, he added, "Especially after we came out of the government." ”
The water slave lowered his eyes for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, thank you for your concern." ”
It's just another hope, I knew it would turn out like this, didn't I?
"If that's the case, that's good. Yin Nuan saw that her smile didn't seem to be fake, so she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and stood on tiptoe and took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Shui Nudao, "Take this one back and read it!"
The water slave subconsciously took it and asked with some surprise: "Is this really okay?"
She didn't know if she had exceeded her duty as a slave if she read a book.
"Naturally, you can. Yin Nuan smiled, "I just noticed that you looked at this book several times, and after reading it, you just put it in place, if there is anything else you like, you don't have to go through me, just come and get it." ”
This is tantamount to a rare happy event for the water slave during this time, and after thanking Yin Nuan, he carefully returned to the room with the book, only to feel that the previous depression had dissipated a lot.
In the next few days, the water slave also thought of some other methods. It's just that when he was in the palace before, because the emperor was more favored, he stayed by his side and raised him personally. There weren't many opportunities for her to train the Guardians privately. Besides, now far away in Xin'an, even if her guards had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible for them to find this place in such a quick time.
Yin Nuan was not there on this day, so the water slave was doing needlework in his room, and suddenly A-Yuan came in from outside the door and said:
"Sister Shuinu, Sister Rong Liu said that she wants to ask you for help if she has something, she can't get out of the weaving room and can't come in person. ”
"Okay. The water slave put down the needlework, "I'll go over now." ”
Ah Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll leave first when my words arrive, my paper kite hasn't flown yet!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for the water slave to reply, and the person disappeared.
When the water slave came to the weaving room, he saw that there were more people in it than usual, Rong Liu was wearing a blue skirt and sat in front of one of the pedal spinning wheels, his feet did not stop, his hands were flying, and his movements were extremely fast.
"Sister Rong Liu?"
"The water slave is here?" Rong Liu smiled, got up and walked to the water slave, pulled her to a more secluded place outside the weaving room, and explained a little apologetically, "Because the weaving house can't leave now, and this thing is in a hurry for Yuanhua Sister in Erlangjun's yard, so I can only ask you." ”
"It doesn't matter. The water slave said, "If Sister Rong Liu needs to send something, give it to me." ”
"Wait for me for a moment. Rong Liu turned around and entered the house, and after a while came out with a small baggage, opened it and took out an object tightly wrapped in a pink square scarf and handed it to the water slave.
"Here are two towels made for Erlangjun. Rong Liu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister Yuanhua said that I am good at weaving and embroidery, so please ask me." Water slave, you also know that the people in the house have a lot of gossip and more ideas, if you ask others to not know what will come out, I really don't worry, so I can only look for you. ”
The water slave nodded in understanding, and then took his leave and left.
She took her things to Yin Zhao's courtyard, because she was too impressed by what happened when she came last time, so she didn't walk through the pavilion on the lake, but walked around the lotus pond and walked the path that was around the side.
When I came to the front yard, I saw a few maids doing needlework or basking in the sun, so I stepped forward to find where Yuanhua was.
"That!" said one of the maids, probably a little annoyed that she had been disturbed by resting well, and pointed in a bad tone in the direction of the main hall, "You go through the main hall and go out through the small door in the backyard." ”
"Thank you!"
The water slave walked into the front hall, and there was no one inside, and there was no human voice, thinking that the maidservants were all in the courtyard. The water slave had no choice but to continue to find the small door that the maid said.
Out of the small door, it is a delicate and luxurious yard that does not lose the front yard.
The water slave walked a few steps along the stone path, and when he was aimless, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter faintly in front of him. The water slave paused, and then walked forward. Anyway, there is no one around, if Yuanhua is really here, then it should be.
After walking a short distance, he saw a tall and dense bush in front of him, and the water slave was about to walk over, when suddenly a man's voice came:
"I'll just say it's nice outside, isn't it? It's much more fun than inside the house!"
The water slave was shocked, stopped in a panic, and only heard a woman's coquettish voice say:
"It's a lot more interesting to have this sultry fragrance of flowers and butterflies as a companion, but you're too bold, how can you say that it's broad daylight?"
