002 Accommodation
After another night and a day's journey, in the evening, I finally arrived at the Daimyo Mansion Station.
Just in time for the dark clouds to cover the sun, the thunder is rolling.
Lin Xiaojue and the maid waited in the carriage, and the steward went to change the brand.
Monday opened the curtains and looked out the window, it was dark so early, and the lantern had already been picked up at the entrance of the post station.
Monday: "It reminds me of the time when I met Brother Wang, it rained so hard, and the post station rioted, before going there, we passed by a village, and I don't know if the people in the village listened to the young lady's words, and found out." ”
Her words caused the other two maids to think.
Lin Xiaojue suddenly stretched: "Today the sky will not be bright again, and the night will be longer than the previous day, which is really unfair to today's day." ”
What is Miss talking about? The three maids looked at her in unison.
Lower the curtain on Monday.
Lin Xiaojue didn't explain anything, but picked up the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Ling Nan looked at the other two: "The person in charge has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, let's go down and have a look." ”
The other two had no objection and followed the young lady out of the car.
The four women entered the inn together.
This post station is built like an inn, the building is divided into three floors, visible to the eye, the second and third two floors are guest rooms, and the two and three floors of the quadrangular corridor have visitors from time to time.
On the first floor is the hall, there is a counter directly north of the hall, people are waiting in line to receive the sign, the steward is the first in front of the counter, and there is a group of officials and family members around him, a young lady dressed like sixteen or seventeen years old is the head, she stands in the middle of the group with a curtain fence. Her maid was alone, and she was handing out keys to the others, apparently they had changed the brand.
And the steward is still negotiating something with Yicheng.
The four of them approached and listened to the steward's words: "I have a female dependent, and it is not very convenient to shop it, so I bother the adults to be accommodating, even if I give up a room." He said with his hand outstretched.
Lin Xiaojue didn't need to look to know that he had bribed silver in his hand.
But the bribe didn't work, and the poster pushed his hand back.
"This big butler, it's not that I don't want to be accommodating. It's really no room. The last room was booked by this young lady. He pointed to the young lady with the curtain.
The young lady looked back at the steward and said apologetically, "I only have three rooms in line, so I can't cede them." ”
The steward did not speak.
At this time, Lin Xiaojue and others had already walked to the side of the steward. Across the steward, he looked at the young lady.
Lin Xiaojue felt that the young lady was looking at her. She didn't look up. She asked the steward, "But there is no room?" ”
"Miss, why are you here?" The steward was stunned. whispered: "No, the last three rooms were lined up by the young lady next to her, and she arranged rooms for her father and maid." ”
Lin Xiaojue just nodded. Lu Yao said suddenly: "Our young lady doesn't have a room yet, why did she arrange a room for the maid?" "It's loud enough to be heard by everyone in the hall.
Not to be outdone, the young lady's maid replied: "This row of rooms pays attention to the first come, first served, who let you come late, what should I do if your young lady doesn't have a room?" ”
What else Lu Yao wanted to say was stopped by Zhou Zhou and Ling Nan.
Lin Xiaojue raised his head and glanced at her without showing emotion, Lu Yao thought about it and felt lower his head.
Lin Xiaojue didn't say anything more, turned around and bowed deeply to the young lady in charge: "Offended, please forgive the young lady." ”
The woman's curtain moved and whispered to the maid: "Qiu Tong, don't be rude." ”
The two bosses are pressing things, and this fight can't be argued, and the other officials retract their boring thoughts, Lin Xiaojue said to the steward: "You arrange rooms for the others, and the four of us will spend the night in the carriage." ”
The steward thought to himself, it is safe to have a young lady there, so it is better not to line up. He opened his mouth to say something, but saw that Lin Xiaojue had already turned around and left with the three maids.
Forget it, Miss will be in danger if she doesn't live in a post station, so don't be afraid.
He turned back to negotiate with Yicheng and took the number plate.
Besides, Lin Xiaojue led the three maids out, and the black clouds outside were as thick as cotton wool, and they felt like they might be watered at any time.
Lu Yao saw that the other three didn't speak, and he was extremely worried.
She trotted a few steps to catch up with Miss, and said aggrievedly: "Miss, are you angry because I have too much to talk about?" I didn't mean to, I was also coming out for the sake of the young lady. ”
Lin Xiaojue stopped and looked back at her, Lu Yao hurriedly stood up straight, and the other two maids also followed.
Lin Xiaojue said: "The maid is also a human, why can't she, have her own room?" When you feel that she is unworthy, in fact, you are telling others that you are not worthy. And you are not worthy of this girl, which directly shows that I am not worthy. ”
It's always hard to understand when you stutter, but Lu Yao thinks he's smart and thinks, "You just think I'm embarrassed by so many people." She lowered her head and squeezed out two tears: "The slave maid really thinks about the young lady, the young lady wants to sleep on the street, but other people's maids have rooms, and the slave maid is uneasy." ”
In the eyes of many, she may have a point.
Lin Xiaojue said coldly: "Maybe I've been too indulgent to you recently, so I'm used to you daring to speak at will." ”
She was really silent before, Lu Yao raised her head in shock, looking at the little stammer, she couldn't do it in her heart, if it weren't for Ling Nan saying that if she wanted others to accept her, she would not have to worry about her before she was too lazy to care about this idle matter.
Lu Yao's tears flowed down his face.
Ling Nan and Monday glanced at each other, knowing that Miss rarely gets angry, and if she gets angry, it is difficult to settle down.
At this time, the ground suddenly crackled, and large drips of rain fell.
"Miss, get into the carriage." Lu Yao and Monday came to persuade Lin Xiaojue.
Lin Xiaojue was drenched in the rain and remained unmoved.
Lu Yao was really scared this time, and cried.
Since no one sheltered from the rain, the four of them became soup chickens in an instant.
"Miss, I thought that girl was rude, and Miss would be even more rude, but I didn't expect this young lady to be reasonable." The maid and the young lady in the hall hid under the eaves and listened and watched the scene that happened at the door of the post station, Qiu Tong said.
Dong Mingzhu smiled gently through the curtain: "I never have sharp teeth. But you have a lot of mouths and tongues, did I teach you this? ”
Qiu Tong snorted angrily: "Miss." ”
Dong Mingzhu said: "I really like this young lady's uprightness, do you know why she doesn't hide from the rain?" She asked Xiang Qiutong. Qiu Tong shook his head: "Maybe there's nowhere to hide."
Dong Mingzhu said with a smile: "She is punishing that maid, because she is rude, as the maid's young lady, she has to punish herself, because the lower beam is not right, maybe the upper beam is crooked, and the other two maids are also responsible, and they can't influence their companions, so the dead should be punished." “
Qiu Tong pouted: "Miss, are you thinking too much?" Is this young lady so righteous? “
Dong Mingzhu shook his head with a smile: "You see her eyes are firm." The spine is straight. The whole person exudes an aura of restraint, and it is said that this young lady is a very tough and cruel person. “
"Huh?!" Qiu Tong was incomprehensible: "I just see her as a beauty." She tilted her head and grinned: "But it's not as beautiful as Miss." ”
Dong Mingzhu smiled: "You are a compliment, I am less than two-thirds of her." He said and opened the oil umbrella. Towards heavy rain.
"Miss!" Qiu Tong called out to her. The young lady didn't seem to hear it. The voices were thrown by her in the pouring rain.
Lin Xiaojue felt less pressure on her head, she raised her head and saw a goose yellow. Lowered eyes. The woman with the curtain stood beside her, and through the thin and light goose-yellow smoke veil, the woman smiled calmly and her eyes were gentle.
Lin Xiaojue bowed his head slightly: "Miss Lao held an umbrella for me, thank you." ”
Dong Mingzhu nodded with his arm in return: "Then you can give up a room, I don't know if the young lady is willing to discuss the residence." ”
"Respectfully, it's better to obey your fate."
Unexpectedly, the young lady was not polite at all, but Dong Mingzhu was stunned.
She lifted the curtain with one hand, tilted her head and carefully looked at the woman in front of her, as if to see her through.
Lin Xiaojue stood more upright, as if she was very generous enough to let her see enough.
Dong Mingzhu bit her lip and smiled: "I kindly gave up the room, and I thought you would refuse, why did you agree?" ”
Lin Xiaojue blinked: "Are you hypocritical?" ”
Dong Mingzhu hurriedly shook his head: "Naturally not, I saw you standing outside for so long, and I blamed your maid, knowing that it was not your intention to make disrespectful remarks, you punished others for yourself, how can I bear it?" How can I let you have nowhere to live, just so that I will sleep in one room with my maid, and leave the other room for you. ”
Lin Xiaojue nodded and thanked him: "So, I know that Miss is, I invite you honestly, and I really don't want to sleep in the carriage, so I naturally agree, also, what to do?" ”
"Miss is really temperamental, but your non-hypocrisy is what I admire, please." Dong Mingzhu raised his hand and invited Lin Xiaojue.
Lin Xiaojue thought for a while: "Let's go together, I didn't hold an umbrella." ”
...... "Then please just be polite, okay, Dong Mingzhu couldn't help laughing.
Zhou and Lingnan poured water on their faces, but they couldn't help laughing in their hearts: "Miss, this problem of telling cold jokes, when will it be changed." The two followed.
Lu Yao waited for everyone to leave before he followed.
Her thin skirt was pierced by the cold rain, and when the wind came, the cold shivered non-stop, but the coldest thing was not the body, but the heart.
Why would she listen to Ling Nan's instigation, why would she believe that the dead stammer would regard her as a confidant, she obviously hated her and excluded her.
Lu Yao looked at the red that had been blurred and gritted his teeth. Someday, she's going to make Little Stutter pay for what she did today.
Lin Xiaojue and the three maids washed hot water and changed their clothes, Lingnan went to ask someone to pour water, Lu Yao made the bed, waited for her to wipe her hair on Monday, and the two of them stood at the window. Lin Xiaojue sneezed.
Monday complained: "Miss is angry, why can't she get along with her body?" What if it's raining, what if you get sick? ”
Lin Xiaojue took the cloth in her hand and wiped her hair, she said while wiping: "The last thing I'm afraid of is getting sick." If I wasn't in the rain at the time, I would have listened to the rain in the carriage. ”
Monday didn't understand at first, stood stunned, thought about her and looked at Lu Yao who made the bed.
whispered, "Miss is actually not to punish Lu Yao, but to know that Miss is looking at you, so she uses bitter meat?" ”
Lin Xiaojue hooked his lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Monday thought about it and shook his head: "It's not good for Miss to have such a purpose, I think that Miss is a good person." ”
Lin Xiaojue patted his half-wet hair and returned the cloth to Monday: "With a purpose, isn't it right?" If no one has a purpose, then there is no intersection, no peace. ”
Monday didn't understand: "Miss is going to have a relationship with this young lady?" ”
"Some people, when you are very casual, she will also be casual with you, and her heart is close. Well, I'm tired. ”
Lin Xiaojue walked to the side of the bed after speaking.
Monday stood in front of the window and continued to ponder: "The heart is near, the heart is near?" It's really close. She nodded in agreement.
In fact, not only did they feel that Lin Xiaojue was inappropriate on Monday, but Qiu Tong and Dong Mingzhu also felt that the young lady opposite was weird.
Qiu Tong said: "Miss doesn't ask the other party's identity and family, so she dares to help, what if she is a bad person?" ”
Dong Mingzhu was lying on the bed looking at the void above his head, and he was a little excited in his heart.
"She's not a good person in the traditional sense, but she's by no means a bad person," she laughs. ”
"Why is Miss so arbitrary?" Qiu Tong was puzzled.
Dong Mingzhu said: "Because she doesn't care about what kind of identity I have, our encounter doesn't have those worldly things in it, just the two of us, you see how reckless she is, she unceremoniously lived in my room, if it is someone else, you have to thank you to push back, but in fact, they all think in their hearts, that is hypocrisy." She is not hypocritical, she asked me to hold an umbrella for her, as if it was a matter of course, we are not strangers at all, like sisters, like old friends. The more she talked, the more excited she became, she laughed: "You haven't met such a person, you don't understand, she is very interesting, such a direct person, her heart is also straight, straightforward and straightforward, I like people like her." ”
Qiu Tong looked at the young lady who couldn't sleep, and said in his heart, he praised it so well, it was Wang Ba's stinky mung bean that looked at him, thinking about what happened to the young lady, the lady died when she was young, and the master didn't continue the string, and he didn't have any brothers and sisters, so the young lady was very lonely, so she let the woman hook her soul.
No, Miss is also a woman.
Hey, how can a woman like a woman so much?
Qiu Tong couldn't sleep either.
The three watchbones rang, and the noise woke Lin Xiaojue from his dream.
She always sleeps unsteadily, sleeps lightly, the other three maids sleep with her on Monday, needless to say, sleep is thinking, the other two also run around during the day, and they don't wake up when they hit the floor.
Lin Xiaojue quietly changed his shoes and pushed the door open.
In the hall, two women and their subordinates were begging Yicheng for help: "Please help find another doctor, we are not familiar with each other, and we don't know where to find it." “
Yi Cheng said: "There is such an old and dizzy doctor around here, there is really no one, otherwise how dare the little one not find the young lady." ”
The woman was the one who had given her room, and she was stomping her feet in the hall in a hurry.
Lin Xiaojue heard her anxiety and stepped on the wooden ladder to go downstairs.
"What are you doing with a doctor?" The stammering sound disturbed the anxiety of everyone downstairs.
Whose woman doesn't sleep so late? Everyone brushed their heads together. (To be continued......)
