Chapter 6: Doubts

The November weather was also cold outside, and I didn't want to stretch my hand, and the wind was whistling and the dead leaves were rattling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Jinping opened the door, a cold wind flew over and blew on his face. blinked his dry eyes, and before he could see the person clearly, he heard the sentence of splitting his head and covering his face

"Are you trying to freeze us to death as a dead minion? It's bad luck to come to this place! "

After speaking, without waiting for Jinping to speak, he saw a rough woman pushing Jinping, the door was wide open, and several people poured in. Hurried towards the main house.

Jinping was almost stumbled and fell to the ground by that push, and as soon as he stood firmly, he saw three people rushing in.

The side face of the leader was crossed, and Jinping was very surprised. Isn't this the old lady's yard bamboo? Why did you come to Shepherd Garden so late? And the strangest thing is that Wen Zhu is the old lady's eldest maid, how could she come to find the young lady.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Jinping quickly closed the door and followed.

"Miss, but you're asleep? I don't think it's time to go to bed at this hour! Saying that, the three people led by Wen Zhu came into the inner room, and stood still in front of the tent curtain and did not salute.

Mu Zhimo saw through the curtain that the person who came was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid, followed by two women in green clothes, and the maid was wearing a small purple fur-edged jacket. There is a double bun on his head, and two purple velvet flowers are wrapped around it. There is a butterfly tied to one side of the bun, and it is beautiful to flutter her wings because of her panting at this time. Sweeping Emei, the little face is pointy, a pair of thin lips are slightly blurred, and the small face is probably a little red because of the night wind. In a pair of Danfeng eyes, two smart eyeballs swept the room, and then looked at Mu Zhimo inside.

"It's so late, why did Sister Wenzhu come over? But what is the matter with the old lady? Liuyingshan asked, saying that he was blessed.

"I don't dare to be my sister. Wen Zhu came indifferently and didn't look at Liuying. Mu Zhimo said to the tent curtain: "The old lady asks the eldest lady to come over and talk back before breakfast tomorrow." In addition, Mama Liu made a mistake, and the old lady left her in the yard tonight to reflect on it. The eldest lady should not ask the old lady to wait for a long time. "

After speaking, he didn't wait for Mu Zhimo to speak, he turned his head and walked out, as if it was unlucky to stay for a while, the two women followed closely, and when they saw Jinping at the door, they snorted twice and left.

"Miss, what's going on? Jinping hurriedly came in and asked with Liuying. Didn't this Mama Liu go home to see her son, why did she make a mistake and go to the old lady's yard again. What does it mean to please Miss Tomorrow morning? The two little maids felt that the news was broken.

Mu Zhimo knew that this must be a storm.

"Liuying, you go and find the purse I embroidered before and burn it. Be quick! Mu Zhimo thought for a moment, and then commanded Liu Ying.

"Why burn it? That's how hard the young lady embroidered! Didn't Miss cherish it before? Hotaru was puzzled.

"There's no why, you just listen to me! I'll tell you later. Now it's just a matter of doing more and asking less, can you understand? "

"Yes, Miss! "

"Jinping, you go out with Liuying. I don't need you to keep a vigil tonight. It's hard to get tired after a busy day. Let's go down and rest early. "

"Miss, we are not tired, how can we do it without a vigil! Miss is so injured! Saying that, both of them were anxious.

"That's it! I said okay, I'm a young lady, and you can't go against my word. Let's go down! Mu Zhimo finished speaking with a strong attitude, waving his hand to let them retreat.

The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "Yes, Miss." We're next door in the evening, and we'll come over if Miss wakes up at night! "

Mu Zhimo nodded.

The two of them retreated, and the room was quiet. Mu Zhimo slowly closed his eyes, thinking about everything today.

The wind blew all night, and the yard was full of dead leaves. Large pieces of dead leaves rolled up against the steps rattled, and the cracked evening breeze swept through the bitter winter chill.

"Squeak", an old wooden door in the side room of Xuefu Garden opened a crack from the inside, and then a little maid in a plain jacket squeezed out of the door. The evening breeze whistled, blowing the hair on her neck, she shrunk her neck, and hurriedly walked towards the main house with the door.

"Miss, it's time to get up!" Jinping pushed the door in and shook the cold air on his body. walked to the back room and hung up the curtain, and called the sleeping Mu Zhimo twice.

"What time is it?" A hazy voice sounded low. Mu Zhimo was not very stable in her sleep all night, and she had a terrible headache, and she slept a little better on the fifth watch, and she heard Jinping calling her in a daze, and she didn't open her eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Miss, it's the beginning of the hour. The old lady asked the young lady to go back to the breakfast last night, and the slave and maid counted that she would call you now. Jinping took the clothes on the shelf and replied.

The old lady is old and doesn't have much sleep, and she believes in Buddhism, so she gets up early in the morning. When I got up in the morning, I liked to read the Buddhist scriptures before having breakfast, so Jinping called Mu Zhimo earlier. In this way, it will not be said that the young lady has lost her manners in the past.

Mu Zhimo blinked her sore eyes a few times, relieved herself for a while, and felt clearer before she got up and sat up around the quilt.

Jinping came over to help Mu Zhimo and serve her to dress. The costume is very cumbersome to wear, and Mu Zhimo has no intention of doing it herself.

After a while, Liuying hurriedly walked in from outside, reflexively closed the door, and opened the curtain to Mu Zhimo's side.

"Miss, the slave maid heard Mrs. Wang and Xue Qing who came back lazy last night, and they privately said that they were listening to the chatter of the mother-in-law who swept the water in the old lady's yard, and the lady went to the old lady's yard to ask for peace Not long after, Mama Liu was directly taken away by the old lady sent by Jiang Mama when she came back outside the side door. Later, when I came to the courtyard, I didn't say anything, and directly punished Mama Liu to kneel outside, and there was no news at night. After Liu Ying finished speaking, she watched Jinping help Mu Zhimo sit down next to the dressing table, she hurriedly walked over and picked up a wooden comb to brush Mu Zhimo's hair.

"Have you heard why the old lady let people arrest Mama Liu." Mu Zhimo sat down and looked at the little red-faced Liuying and asked softly.

Liu Ying combed Mu Zhimo's hair and replied, "It was said that Mama Liu's youngest son teased Madame's cousin outside. The old lady was very angry when she heard this. said that Mama Liu would not raise her son, and she had to bring Miss Bad. As he spoke, he chose a silver flower vine hairpin for Mu Zhimo to bring, straightened the broken hair next to Mu Zhimo's ear, and then looked at Mu Zhimo worriedly.

"This Mama Liu's youngest son is kept at a neighbor's house all the year round, and last month I heard Mama Liu talk about her son finding a shop helper outside, saying that he has grown up and knows that it hurts. It's not a stingy thing to think about, how can you tease other girls in a good way? Mu Zhimo cleared her throat and whispered, she didn't see Mama Liu right now, and she didn't know what was going on outside.

The slave maid also felt that Mama Liu's youngest son, the slave maid, had seen it. is a very honest person, and he would never do such a thing. Jinping said on the side.

Mu Zhimo felt that this matter was not so simple, she thought that this matter should be directed at her.

"Well, it's useless for us to speculate here at the moment, so let's take one step at a time. We'll go to the old lady in a while, and you pay attention to find an opportunity to talk to Mama Liu to see what's going on. ”

"Yes, miss." The two replied.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go!" After speaking, Mu Zhimo looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

It was the first time she had seen herself in the first time she had walked through. She looked at the person in the mirror, wearing a slightly old satin jacket embroidered with plum patterns on a crimson background, with a short hair collar of Ai green at the neckline, sitting in front of the mirror with a quiet elegance. Looking up, she still remembered what was said in "Bu Ping Fu": double pupils cut water, eyebrows trimmed and moonshots, hair buns cut clouds, red lips and bright teeth, and red clothes and feathers. Under the Guanghan fairy, it is slim and elegant, and it is moving.

Mu Zhimo looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't find the shadow of her previous life, and she looked a little stunned.

"Let's go!" Mu Zhimo got up and commanded.

Liuying helped Mu Zhimo get up, took a begonia-colored cloak and put it on Mu Zhimo, and put on a hood. Jinping brought a lantern and followed him, and the sky was not yet bright now. The three of them walked all the way towards the old lady's Molian Courtyard.

The lanterns blown by the cold wind flickered on and off, and there was a dry smell in the air, and Mu Zhimo tightened the cloak on his body. Along the way, she had a real feeling for Mu Mansion's status as an imperial businessman. For a while, they bypassed the pavilions, rockeries, and bridges. After passing through the verandah, we came to the old lady's courtyard after passing through the cross courtyard.
