Chapter 002: Climbing over the wall and encountering a vicious dog
Li Siyu's clouds are very good, because she didn't meet anyone when she climbed over the wall and went in; Her luck was bad again, because she climbed over the wall and ran into a big wolfdog. The big wolfdog was wary of the stranger "flying" down from the wall, his eyes fixed on her, and his mouth whined in warning.
Li Siyu was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Brother dog, I'm not a bad person, I'm a good person who is being chased by bad people." Please, big dog, don't worry about me going over the wall. ”
The big wolf dog obviously didn't buy her words and made an attack. Li Siyu saw that this was okay, so he turned around and ran. A man and a dog started a chase. Afterwards, Li Siyu couldn't help but sigh, people's potential is really unlimited, and her speed can be faster than that of a dog! But even if she ran faster than the dog, it was useless, because she stumbled and fell into the lake. For her, who can't swim, this is a very unfortunate thing.
Li Siyu was fluttering in the lake and screaming for help, while the big wolf dog was walking back and forth by the lake, as if thinking about what to do. What Li Siyu didn't know was that during her detention, her grandmother (that is, her grandmother) smeared a black medicine on her flower-like face in order to prevent her from being ruined by the cell bosses in the prison, making her skin black and concealing her true appearance. As soon as she fell into the water, the medicinal juice on her face was washed off by the water, revealing a delicate face.
The big wolf dog was a little uncalm at this time, she originally saw an ugly girl climb over the wall and enter the house, obviously not a good person. So I wanted to scare her. Who knew that this girl was ugly, but she ran very fast, and she didn't even catch up. However, it could not figure out why the girl had run into the lake by herself, and even more so how she had become a beautiful woman when she ran into the lake. Could it be that the water of this lake has a beauty effect? But it swims in it every day, why hasn't it become handsome?
Cao Xiuling is the second miss of the Hou Mansion, and it sounds better to say that she is the second miss, but in fact, she is the daughter of the concubine, and she has no status in the Hou Mansion. On weekdays, the big wolf dog of the Hou Mansion is taken care of by her, and on this day she took the dog food to feed the dog, and heard someone calling for help from a distance. I immediately ran over and saw a girl fighting in the water. The first time she encountered such a thing, she was a little at a loss for a while. Standing by the lake didn't know what to do.
The moment Li Siyu scrambled to the surface, she saw Cao Xiuling, and she hurriedly said: "Save me with a stick!" ”
Cao Xiuling heard her words and hurriedly looked for a stick, and finally found a stick among the flowers behind her, and a net was tied to one end of this stick, which was obviously used by the Hou Mansion to net away the dead leaves and garbage that had fallen into the lake.
Li Siyu grabbed the stick, and Cao Xiuling pulled her ashore.
"Are you alright?" When Cao Xiuling saw Li Siyu's face, she was shocked by her beautiful appearance, and she was as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water at this time.
Li Siyu coughed twice and spit out the lake water in her mouth, her nose and throat were so hot and painful that her tears came out because of the water. She said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me." ”
"Ahh Seeing the big wolf dog next to him, Li Siyu was startled, if it weren't for his lack of body, he would probably jump into the water in fright.
"Don't be afraid! With me, Huzi won't hurt you. Cao Xiuling said. She took a closer look at Li Siyu and found that she hadn't seen this person, so she asked, "Are you a new maid in the house?" ”
Huzi glanced at Li Siyu, does this dog look so scary?
Li Siyu didn't answer, but asked, "Who are you?" ”
Cao Xiuling smiled slightly, "I am the second lady in the mansion, and I am a concubine." Obviously, she was very concerned about the identity of the concubine's daughter.
Li Siyu thought about it, and the daughter born to the concubine was a concubine, and in the ancient big family, the status was usually not too high. No wonder this young lady is so polite when she talks to her "maid".
Li Siyu asked tentatively: "Is the second lady short of maids?" "She is also the second lady, in such a big house, even if she is no longer favored, there should be a maid to serve her! But there was no maid with her, so she asked something like this.
Cao Xiuling's expression darkened, "I originally had a maid to change into a small lotus, but she died of illness a few days ago." The mistress said I could find a new maid. But no one in the house wants to serve me. ”
When Li Siyu heard this, she was overjoyed and asked you: "Second Miss, do you think it is appropriate for me to be your maid?" ”
"You?" Cao Xiuling showed a surprised expression.
Li Siyu hurriedly said: "Second Miss doesn't know, in fact, I was born in a poor family, my father wants to sell me to a rich man in his sixties as a concubine in order to pay off gambling debts, you say that I am young, give a person who can be my grandfather as a concubine, can I be willing?" So, I ran away from home. But I was penniless, and I had been hungry for several days, and when I passed by your house, I smelled the smell of food in the house, so I wanted to come to the house and ask for food. Who would have thought that the dogs of your house would be taken to the lake? Luckily Mademoiselle saved me, otherwise, I would have drowned. Miss, you are a good person, you simply save people to the end, accept me as a maid! I don't need to be paid, as long as I have food to eat and a bed to sleep in, I'll be satisfied. ”
She burst into tears, pitiful. Cao Xiuling was teary-eyed by her pitiful background. She always felt that she was pitiful enough as an unfavored concubine, but she didn't expect that a girl she saved casually was a hundred times more pitiful than her. She instantly overflowed with sympathy, "Well, if you want, stay by my side and be my maid!" ”
Li Siyu was very grateful when she heard this, "Thank you, Second Miss!" I'll serve you well! ”
She knew that the officers and soldiers would definitely search for her everywhere, and she instinctively told her that it would be safe to hide in this mansion. That's why she made up stories to trick Cao Xiuling into taking her in.
Cao Xiuling seemed to like Li Siyu, who was more pitiful than herself, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Li Siyu said: "It's good if you call me Xiaoyu." By the way, you know that I escaped, I don't want my father to find me, you must help me keep my identity secret. If someone asks, don't tell me how you met me. Luckily? "If people know that she entered the house over the wall, I am afraid that someone will associate her with the fugitive at Caishikou today.
Cao Xiuling thought for a while and said, "Xiaohe said before her death that she had a good sister who grew up with her. In this way, I will say that you are her good sister, and you are desperate and come to the Hou Mansion to join her. I didn't expect her to die, but I saw that you were pitiful, so I took you in and became my maid. ”
