Chapter 40: "Brother and Sister"
"Well, how could Miss summon the guards from the mansion over?" Pearl's little face was full of doubt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yingluo was also puzzled: "Yes, I also think it's strange! The one named Ji Tong has been in there for a long time." I don't know what Miss and him have said. ā
What's more, Miss even spent Linlang and Linglong.
On weekdays, the young lady never hides anything from the two of them.
Liuli thought for a while, lowered her voice and said, "In my opinion, Miss must have sent Ji Tong for an important and secret matter, so she didn't let us stay in the house." ā
The three maids gathered together and whispered.
Coral didn't like to say much, and stood aside and listened silently, without interjecting.
When Linglong sent Li Shan back, Pearl and the others immediately surrounded her: "Linglong, why does Miss want to see Ji Tong?
Linglong spread her hands innocently: "I don't know what's going on. ā
After a pause, he looked at Linlang again: "Linlang, you and Miss have always been the closest." Miss never hides something from you. Do you know why?"
Linlang smiled helplessly: "Miss didn't say anything to me." ā
What exactly does Miss do?
Several maids looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
Linlang cheered up and said, "Don't be muttering and suspicious. The young lady didn't say anything, so she just treated it as if it didn't matter. Don't talk too much in front of the young lady, do you hear?"
Among the maids, Linlang is not the oldest, but her temperament is the most calm and careful, and she is the most trusted by Gu Wanning. The maids were headed by her, and together with Linglong, who was a first-class maid, they also habitually listened to her orders.
As soon as Linlang spoke, everyone immediately nodded in response.
It is inconvenient to talk about the master, and the topic naturally came to Li Shan, who had just left.
"Linglong, Brother Li, who you sent you, why didn't you take the opportunity to chat for a while, and came back so soon. Yingluo winked her eyebrows at Linglong.
Linglong's cheeks were slightly red, and she glared at Yingluo: "What my brother Li! chew your tongue again, be careful that I tear your mouth." ā
Yingluo shouted innocently: "Eh, my so exquisite, I'm just joking casually, what are you doing so angry." Besides, you grew up with Li Shan, and you are Brother Li when you open your mouth. You're all screaming, and we're not allowed to hear it?"
"That's it," Pearl still remembered what happened to be teased by Linglong that day, and immediately opened her mouth to echo: "You are a big brother Li, and you shout so affectionately." We just want to pretend we can't hear, and we can't do it!"
Linglong, who has always been sharp-toothed, was speechless at this time, and he was powerless to fight back.
Ruri also opened her mouth and quipped: "You two don't talk about it anymore." Don't you see that Linglong's face is already like a red cloth? If she moves her hand in anger, you two will not have any good fruit to eat. ā
Yingluo and Pearl clutched their chests together, pretending to be afraid, but there was a smile in their eyes.
Linlang burst out laughing.
When she laughed, the others couldn't hold back and giggled.
Several of them are the sons of the house, they have known each other since childhood, and now they are on an errand in the Yiliu Courtyard, and they are very familiar with each other.
Linglong and Li Shan, the childhood sweethearts, clearly have intentions for each other, but they have never said it, so they are vaguely doing "brother and sister". Looking at them one by one, they all find it interesting. Every now and then, I always have to make a joke.
Linglong is not ashamed, nor is he angry, so he simply acquiesced with a thick face.
ā¦ā¦
In a laughter as crisp as a silver bell, a slender, tall and handsome young man in Tsing Yi pushed the door out.
Several smiling and pretty faces with different characteristics looked at it together.
Ji Tong has almost never entered the inner house, let alone seen so many pretty maids, his heart is flustered and cramped, and his face is quite calm.
Ji Tong nodded slightly at the maids and strode over.
Behind him, the low laughter and whispers of the maids sounded. Apparently talking about him...... It wasn't until he walked out of Yiliu Courtyard that Ji Tong breathed a long sigh of relief.
I don't know when my palms are sweating.
Thinking of the beautiful and bright face of the second young lady, Ji Tong's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
He lowered his head and looked at the cyan military uniform on his body, and a self-deprecating smile rose at the corner of his lips. Then, he shook his head vigorously, pushing the unwanted thoughts out of his mind.
She is the second lady of the noble Hou Mansion, the daughter of the Gu family, and now she is his master.
She held him in such high esteem that he must complete the tasks she gave him and live up to her trust.
ā¦ā¦
"What are you guys laughing at?" Gu Wanning didn't know when she came out of the house, she was in a good mood, her eyebrows were bent, and the corners of her lips were full of smiles.
Pearl replied solemnly: "Miss Hui's words, the slaves and maids were discussing Li Shan'...... just now"
"Pearl!" Linglong was embarrassed, and he didn't care about losing his honor in front of his master, so he hurriedly said something to stop him: "Don't talk nonsense." ā
Pearl pretended to be surprised: "What I said is the truth, why is it nonsense? That's it, you don't allow me to mention Li Shan, I just don't say it!"
After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Gu Wanning: "Miss, I'm really sorry." Linglong didn't let the slave and maid talk about her and Li Shan, and the slave didn't dare to say it. ā
Linglong: "......"
Linglong is so cheeky that she is so embarrassed that she can't speak.
Pearl, who is often bullied by Linglong, can be regarded as sulking today and laughing triumphantly.
Gu Wanning couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips with a smile.
Linglong and Li Shan, the childhood sweethearts, are interested in each other, and it is not a secret in the Hou Mansion.
The Gu family has always been generous to their subordinates. When the maids or guards reach the age of marriage, the masters always have to ask before getting married. and lest the red line be drawn indiscriminately.
In her previous life, Linglong became a dowry maid and entered the prince's mansion with her. When Linglong reached the age of twenty, she made the decision to let Linglong and Li Shan become relatives.
It's a pity that after the two got married, they have been getting together less and leaving more.
A few years later, Linglong escaped from the capital with her.
At the same time, Gu Hai was assassinated, and Li Shan desperately protected Gu Hai, but in the end, he was defeated by many assassins, and the master and servant died together.
After Linglong learned the bad news, she cried all night. After dawn, wipe away the tears and continue to stay by her side to protect her safety.
In the years that followed, Linglong never mentioned Li Shan's name again.
But she knew that from the day Li Shan died, Linglong's heart also died.
If it weren't for her as a master, maybe Linglong would have followed Li Shan as early as the day she learned of Li Shan's death......
Thinking of the past, Gu Wanning felt a little unspeakably sour in his heart.
In her previous life, the people around her died one after another, and Linglong lived the longest, only to be thirty years old, and she lived numbly and painfully.
In this life, she wants all of them to live happily for a long time.
