Chapter 6 Choice
Chapter VI Selection
Rong Liu said again: "When I went out today, I saw a lot of menacing people, and after inquiring, they were actually looking for a girl. ”
Rong Liu had also heard Rong Bi talk about what happened to the water slave before, and when she said this, her face turned a little pale, knowing that the water slave had misunderstood, and she hurriedly explained, "Shui slave, don't worry! I have already inquired, saying that a new lady in a green building on South Street has escaped, so the teacher is looking for it?"
The water slave shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you Sister Rongliu!"
should have guessed a long time ago, Li Lingrong is suspicious by nature, and if he doesn't see his corpse, I'm afraid he can't sit back and relax. It's just that she can't look for it openly, so she will pull such a disguise, according to her cautious personality, it should be more than just looking for it on the surface, and secretly I'm afraid that she has already dug three feet into the ground.
"But when I look at the portrait, it always feels familiar. Rong Liu thought for a while, and suddenly said again.
"Really?" the water slave said lightly, "But who has Sister Rong Liu ever met?"
She didn't worry about being recognized, after all, her identity was there, Li Lingrong didn't dare to blatantly post her portrait even if she ate the heart of a bear and a leopard, even if she was a three-point look, because of her current down-and-out outfit, she could only have one point left.
Looking down at his sore and miserable hands, the water slave sighed, Li Lingrong traced it so closely, and the day when he returned to the palace seemed even more distant.
Rong Liu shook his head and denied that the woman in the portrait had appeared in his memory, and when he saw the water slave bowing his head in a daze, he followed her gaze and noticed her bleeding hands.
"Why is it bleeding?" Rong Liu hurriedly raised her hand, looked at it and sighed, "I've never seen anyone who can't even pick blood blisters, water slave, have you really done these rough jobs before?" Or did they arrange for you to do some heavy work?"
The water slave just shook his head, gritted his teeth and let Rong Liu take care of his hands again.
On the second day, the water slave got up as usual, and after taking care of himself, he planned to go to the kitchen. When I opened the door, I saw Rong Liu standing outside the door, about to knock on the door.
"Sister Rong Liu?"
"Water slaves. Rong Liu put down his hand and said, "I have already gone to ask the cook last night, you have an injury on your hand, don't go to the kitchen to do those heavy jobs today." ”
"Is that good? just a few blood blisters. ”
Rong Liu saw her frowning, and there was a puzzled look on her little fair face, and she couldn't help but rub her head and smiled: "Originally, it was just a few blood blisters, but it became a serious injury after you made it, and if you don't take care of it well, I'm afraid it will hurt for many days." ”
The water slave nodded in understanding, "Thank you, Sister Rongliu!"
The slaves and maids are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Rong Liu is older, and she is smart and down-to-earth, and she is very trusted by the Xie family, so she can be regarded as more able to speak among the slaves of Si Yuan, and the water slave knows that she is really good for herself, so she no longer refutes.
"But I can't let you be idle!" Rong Liu said again, "But you don't have to worry too much, I heard you talk about not being good at weaving before, if you don't even know this, it's not okay, I'll take you to the weaving room today to familiarize yourself with it." ”
The water slave naturally knew that the Yin family did not raise idlers, and Rong Liu's arrangement was really cultivated compared to what had happened in these days.
On the way to the weaving room, you will pass through an attic, although it is not very grand, but the eaves are warped, the carved beams are painted, there is a plaque in the building, the book "tree inkstone pavilion" is written, refined and not publicized, it is the residence of Yin Nuan. Several maidservants went in and out with hot water or towels, and it was obvious that the people inside had already gotten up and freshened up.
The two were about to walk by, and suddenly a little lady with a double bun came out of it, and when she saw the two, she smiled:
"Sister Rongliu, this sister I haven't seen is the one called the water slave, right?
Rong Liu said: "Ah Yuan, did Golang-kun say what happened?"
Gorou-kun didn't say. Ah Yuan said, "But I think it's a new person in our garden, so I always have to tell the rules." ”
Rong Liu turned back to the water slave and said, "Then you go in first, if Wulangjun has no other instructions, you can go to the weaving room to find me." ”
The water slave nodded and thanked him and then followed Ah Yuan into the Shuyan Pavilion, this place was the first time she came in, the Yin family was strictly hierarchical, and the slaves who could enter and leave the residence of several ladies and gentlemen were of a certain level, and the water slave had been doing some rough work in the kitchen and laundry room before, and she was not qualified to enter and leave Yin Nuan's residence.
Ah Yuan took the water slave to the front hall and then retreated. The water slave paused in place, then bypassed the screen, and saw that Yin Nuan was sitting at the table with breakfast, so he bowed in a proper manner.
When Yin Nuan saw her come in, she first smiled at her, then put down her chopsticks, took the towel handed by the maidservant and wiped the corners of her lips, and then asked the few people waiting next to her to retreat, before turning back to the water slave and saying:
"Is the wound on your forehead better?"
The water slave looked at him in surprise when he heard this, and subconsciously put his hand on his forehead.
"You don't even know it yourself?" Yin Nuan's eyes were full of surprise when she saw her react like this.
The water slave shook her head, maybe there were too many pains in her body, and she forgot to check her feelings one by one.
"No, here. Yin Nuan stepped forward and pressed her index finger somewhere on her forehead, "It's still bruised, don't you feel it yourself?"
Pressed by his fingers, the water slave noticed the slightest stinging pain, hurriedly took two steps back, and said in a low voice:
"Since it doesn't hurt, it's okay to think about it, thank you Gorou-kun for your concern!"
Seeing her like this, Yin Nuan withdrew her hand and said, "It should have been that Liuniang broke the cup that day, or she accidentally bumped into it when she was in the lake." ”
The water slave still shook his head, and at that time he was in a hurry, and he couldn't remember when he hit his forehead.
"The servant accidentally injured Gorou-kun in a hurry at that time, please forgive Gorou-kun!"
"It doesn't matter. Yin Nuan shook her head and said, "I know that you knew that you had no choice but to say that I should be grateful to you." ”
"Gorou Jun is serious!" The water slave was not surprised that Yin Nuan would see it, but he was a little surprised that he said it like this.
Yin Nuan said again: "I didn't expect you to look about the same age as me, and you can actually go into the water to save me?"
"Yes. ”
Yin Nuan said suddenly: "It should still be very powerful when I think about it, no wonder you were able to support it for so long in Suoyang Lake until you were rescued, obviously I didn't see anyone fall into the water before." ”
When the water slave heard this, he hurriedly saluted again: "Wulangjun's life-saving grace, if he has the opportunity in the future, the maid will do his best to repay it." ”
Seeing her thank her so solemnly, Yin Nuan said a little uncomfortably: "You don't have to be like this, I didn't say this to ask for retribution." ”
"The servant knows that Gorou Jun's righteousness is just a life-saving kindness, and he can only repay him by tying the grass and ring. After a pause, the water slave said, "I don't know if Gorou Jun called his servant to come today, but what are your orders?"
"It's nothing. Yin Nuan shook her head and said, "It's just that I want to ask your opinion on something." ”
The water slave was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Golang-kun, please ask, the maid must know everything." ”
"Water slaves don't have to be so nervous. Yin Nuan said, "I just asked, when you were rescued that day, did you still have the clothes you were wearing?"
The water slave was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she didn't know what Yin Nuan would explain when she suddenly asked about it, if it was really just to return her clothes, Rong Liu and Rongbi could do it for her, so there was no need to ask so deliberately.
Yin Nuan saw that she didn't say anything, and said: "After you were rescued that day, I have been delayed and did not visit, and then your clothes were sent to be washed by other maidservants, probably because those maidservants saw that the clothes were good, so they sent them over with my mother's clothes." ”
The water slave didn't know if he meant anything else when he said "the clothes are good", and he also asked Rong Bi where his clothes were going that day, and learned that he was sent to the laundry place to find it but didn't find it, and he never thought that he was sent to Yin Nuan.
I only heard Yin Nuan say again: "If you are sure to get your clothes back, I will arrange for someone to escort you home safely." However, because you have been staying in the Yin family as a maidservant all these days, and you have told Rong Bi about their life experience, I am not sure what you think, and it is inconvenient to arrange it without permission. ”
Hearing this, the water slave completely understood what Yin Nuan meant, and this was a choice for him: should he leave to be himself or stay in the Yin family as a slave?
Yin Nuan shouldn't know his identity, but it's certain that he has doubts, but even if he doubts his identity, he still agrees to escort him back. The water slave was a little surprised, the person in front of him was just a child who was younger than himself, and he had such tolerance and generosity.
But now, according to Li Lingrong's suspicious temperament, how could he just look for it outside under the guise of looking for it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Longtan Tiger's Den on the way back to Jiankang. I am just a repetition of the scene of the previous days, and maybe it will affect others. After all, no matter how powerful the Yin family is, it can't be compared with the killer deliberately trained by Li Lingrong of Xin'an Palace.
The water slave's hands were clenched tightly, even if the palm of the hand that had been broken earlier was bleeding again, he didn't care, and finally spoke slowly.
