Chapter 52: Peach Blossoms

After swinging around the lake, the sky was already dyed with red glow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Zhuo Xianxian has a few more lotus flowers in her hand, which was picked by Liang Gongzi just now.

I met Master at dinner, and he asked me if I was still drunk and where I had gone. I answered them one by one.

Master Zhuo had already cleaned up the two side rooms for Master and me, and after dinner, everyone sat and chatted for a while before going back to their rooms. Master Zhuo took good care of him, and each pointed out a maid to show me and my master the way and call.

After washing, I loosened my outer clothes and suddenly remembered something. The silk handkerchief in his arms was gone.

I remember that at noon I rested in Liang Gongzi's room, put it on my eyes, and when I woke up, I didn't see Sipa, so I forgot about it.

Could it have landed on Liang Gongzi's couch? But I remember cleaning up the bed, why didn't I see the silk handkerchief?

The silk handkerchief looked a little more delicate, and if others knew that a man took such a silk handkerchief, they would inevitably be suspicious.

But it's just a silk handkerchief, so I can't go to someone else's room to find it. Besides, if I look for it, won't it be clear that the silk handkerchief is mine?

If I don't look for it, others will be suspicious when they see it; If I look for it, others will still be suspicious. It's a real dilemma for me.

After struggling for a while, I think it's better to wait until I see Liang Gongzi tomorrow. If he mentions this, I will explain it to him and bring back the silk. If he doesn't mention it, then it's okay.

Feeling much better, I climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

--------------

The next morning, a maid came to serve, and when I saw her, I missed Yueying a little in my heart. Although Yueying will not be bullied in the Zhu family, she will inevitably be lonely in the attic alone.

After the maid went out, I took out a box of white fat powder from my sleeve pocket and dipped some of it on my earlobes with the tips of my fingers.

In summer, it is hot and easy to sweat, so you have to apply a thicker grease powder to cover the faint ear piercings.

After packing up, I went to the Master first, and then went to the dining room with the Master. At the dinner table, Liang Gongzi didn't mention anything about Sipa, so I didn't worry much about it. I thought to myself, Xu is silk handkerchief stuck to his clothes and fell elsewhere.

Master said that after breakfast, he would go back to the academy. Master Zhuo kept it, but the master said that it would be his turn to lecture soon, and he should go back earlier. Master Zhuo didn't keep it anymore, and when he heard that we were coming, he immediately found the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to send us back in a carriage.

It was really hard to walk back, and it was very hot today. Master Zhuo's hospitality, Master inherited.

After breakfast, after saying goodbye to Master Zhuo, Zhuo Xianxian and Liang Gongzi, Master and I took a carriage back to the academy.

When leaving, Liang Gongzi said that he would see him again soon.

I smiled back at him and said politely, "Goodbye." ā€

Because there was a butler in front of us to drive the carriage, it was inconvenient for Master and I to talk much along the way. The sun was scorching, and it was very hot in the carriage. The curtain opened and closed as the running carriage flowed, and the hot summer breeze poured into the carriage.

At an intersection, I saw two young women walking slowly under the sun through the windswept curtains.

The woman in the red Luo shirt is holding an umbrella, it should be a maid, and the woman next to her is wearing a pink Luo shirt, and she should be more expensive to serve and wear, which family's lady should be.

Xu heard the sound of the carriage, so they turned around. The maid walked to the carriage and stretched out her arms, stopped the carriage, and closed the curtain again.

The housekeeper said, "What's the matter with the little lady?" ā€

A woman's voice said, "May I ask this big brother, is there anyone in the carriage?" My lady is tired now, and the sun is big, can you make it convenient? Piggyback on us? ā€

The housekeeper replied: "It's really not a coincidence, there is a gentleman and a son in the carriage, I'm afraid I can't help the lady." ā€

I glanced at Master, but Master didn't speak.

The carriage was running again. I lifted the curtain and said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, just take them for a ride, on a hot day, they are prone to heat stroke after being outside for a long time." ā€

The butler stopped the carriage. I said again: "This carriage is a little crowded with two more people, I don't know if the housekeeper agrees?" ā€

He smiled innocently and said, "If Mr. and Son-in-law are willing, I will naturally be willing to make it convenient for them." ā€

I smiled, poked my head out of the carriage, and said to them, "Lady, please get into the carriage." With that, he lifted the curtain.

The woman in the pink Luo shirt seemed to be a little hesitant, and the maid on the side persuaded: "The lady can't bask in the sun anymore." ā€

I saw that the lady's cheeks were crimson, and she seemed to be wringing the silk handkerchief in her hand in a very tangled way. I wasn't in a hurry to rush her, just waited.

After a while, she and her maid slowly walked towards the carriage.

The maid helped her into the carriage, and Master got up and sat down on my side. Then the maid came up and sat with her.

The carriage staggered, and the two women opposite were holding hands, their faces drooping, and they did not speak.

After a long while, the woman in the pink shirt raised her head slightly and said, "Thank you two officials, the slave family is deeply grateful." ā€

Master sat on the sidelines and closed his eyes. I replied, "The lady is polite, it's just a gesture." ā€

She suddenly glanced at me shyly and said, "May I ask your surname?" ā€

I grinned and said, "Don't dare to be, Xiaosheng is exempt from your surname Zhu." ā€

Perhaps because I was smiling too brightly, her cheeks turned a little redder, and she pursed her lips and lowered her head.

The maid on the side said, "The two of you are really good people, and they are willing to take us." In fact, two carriages had already passed, but they were not willing to make it convenient. If it weren't for the two, the lady and the slave family wouldn't know if they could go back? ā€

I smiled slightly and said, "On such a hot day, why don't you prepare a carriage when you go out?" ā€

The maid was a little angry and said: "I came by carriage, but after the housekeeper sent us, he said that the eldest lady was also in a hurry to use the carriage, so she had to go back first, and then come to pick us up later." After a pause, he said, "The ghost only knows, where was he told by the eldest lady?" It's just that I sincerely want to make our lady suffer from heat stroke. ā€

The woman in the pink shirt hurriedly pressed her hand, signaled her not to say anything, and said to me: "The maid is not sensible, let the son laugh." ā€

I smiled softly and didn't say anything.

She asked me a little shyly, "May I ask where is your mansion?" There are many families surnamed Zhu in this area, but I don't know which family the son belongs to. ā€

"Hmm," I paused and said, "Xiaosheng is not from here, Xiaosheng is from Qiantang. Master came to Yuelu Academy to give a lecture, and I came with me. After speaking, he gestured to the master who was still closing his eyes.

She bowed her head and bowed to the master, saying, "Hello sir." ā€

But the master didn't pay attention to her.

Master has always been kind to people, what's wrong?
