Chapter 21 The white shadow disturbs the tranquility, and the slap in the face is not intentional
After a few falls, I had to walk barefoot. As they learned about the things in the house, I decided to start implementing them. In fact, the position of a maid is similar to that of a waiter, and it is all tedious. Every day, prepare early to take it to each master's room, clean up the master's room, or serve tea and water.
These things were also able to be so-so in the previous life, so I did them with great interest. When I stretched out my hand and was about to start doing something, there was always a hand in front of me, and that hand always got the job done before me, and the more they didn't let me do it, the more I could grab it.
After failing each time, I threw away the sweaty rag in my hand and ran to the room of the person in charge in a rage. I was a little annoyed, and said simply: "Madam, these maids of yours are always vying for what I have in my hands, if you really think that I am superfluous here, just say it, why embarrass me with these people." β
It's the kind of eyes that want to find others in me, and I don't exist anymore. She said: "I always feel that you do these things, after all, you will give in, but I didn't expect you to think too much." I looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Madam, please look at me and ordinary people, after all, you and I are related to each other, I can't afford such kindness." β
"Yes, well, as you wish, from now on, you and I will treat them as the same." She said with a smile, and I avoided her gaze and bowed my head and replied, "I will retire first, and I hope you will keep your word." β
This lady is quite reliable, and when I do do something again, they will have nothing to stop them. I guessed that this lady must have the ability to deliver messages and instructions so quickly.
The scope of cleaning the inner room is the entire He Mansion, and after visiting it for a long time, I finally figured out the distribution of this room under the explanation of the maid who traveled with me. The north-south direction is the Ruoxuan Pavilion of Lord He and Mrs. He, and the east-west direction is the Rumeng Pavilion where the son of the He family lives.
My eyes were drawn to a room on the top floor, the only one standing on top of it. I took advantage of their lack of attention and secretly climbed up the stairway, since these rooms had to be cleaned, it would be right to take a look first. Just as I was about to touch the door, the sound of a breathless stairs burst into my ears.
I turned around and saw that it was one of the maids in my company, she had a beautiful appearance and elegant makeup, and she looked very pleasing to the eye. She hurried over in a little hurry, took my hand and said, "This is the young lady's room, today's breakfast has been delivered by a specific person, and we can't go in." β
"Oh." I replied a little absent-mindedly, and I didn't think that there was a forbidden area here. "Why are you stunned, go down with me." She took my hand and hurried downstairs, and suddenly I was held so affectionately that I wanted to break free, but she held it tighter and grinned at me.
This girl's innocent and harmless appearance made my vigilance relaxed, and during the conversation I learned that her name was Xiaochan. Well, as the name suggests, this pleasant sound is indeed like the chirping of cicadas.
"You said it was Miss's in that room just now? Is it the young lady who has similar eyebrows and eyes to me? I asked. This...... I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't been lucky enough to see the real face of the young lady, but I really want to see the appearance of this young lady. Xiaochan's face was full of anticipation, obviously full of curiosity about the young lady as much as I did. I looked at the attic on the top floor again, and I always felt that there was something indescribable.
Now that the house is clear, the next thing is to get to know the masters and superiors. This Mrs. He is the wife of the main house, who gave birth to Miss He and Gongzi He, and her status in the house ranks second. Then the first is naturally Master He, he is the Situ of the dynasty, and he has a pivotal position in the court.
He Gongzi is a literati scholar, perennial love to play between the mountains and rivers, cultivating sentiment and Yue Lin, only occasionally from time to time in the house to live, but he is a person who attaches great importance to cleanliness, so his house always has to be carved and cleaned.
There is almost no introduction to Miss He, only that she is quiet and quiet, often idling in the house, and only three meals a day are delivered by someone. There is only one Mrs. He I have seen this day, and I am sure that the other masters will be involved.
At lunchtime, Mrs. He invited me to eat with her, but I politely declined, and since I wanted to treat everyone equally, I could not leave the door at all. Fortunately, the maid's food is also good, although it is full of vegetarian food and does not accept the desire for meat, but the full journey is dΓΉ is middle and upper.
I sat with Xiaochan and ate together, and I felt that I had found the feeling of you at the same table again, and this meal was very refreshing. After lunch, we went about our part together, and she worked with me to get things done quickly. We didn't say a word when we worked to ensure efficiency, and we chatted happily with an open mind after the end.
Time flew by quickly, and a day was quietly spent in the regained friendship, and at night, Xiaochan returned to her residence, and I also returned to my original apartment. I slept very smoothly and comfortably this night, and I was able to adapt to the ordinary life very quickly.
Humming his favorite serenade, he fell asleep together, and soon fell asleep with the same determination to find the truth. I didn't notice the eyes peeking through the cracks in the night.
Since I used to practice with my father in the early morning, it was not difficult for me to get up early. Xiaochan and I divided labor together and happily completed the daily chores. Pruning the foliage in the back garden was a boring job, so I looked around while pruning.
Suddenly I saw a white shadow hidden behind the flowers, I tiptoed to find out, but before I took two steps, I felt a pain in my shoulder, and I turned around and saw Xiaochan. I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's you, you scared me to death." "I looked at the brocade again, but I was no longer there, and I was a little lost.
It's too bad for you to appear, weren't you still pruning on the other side just now, and I don't know what to do with the sudden run over to scare me. This mansion definitely has a little Jiujiu, which can be verified.
The incomprehensible white shadow always lingered in my mind, causing me to look behind me and feel a little suspicious. Even Xiaochan, who has always been not good at observing words and feelings, saw that something was wrong, and she said with worrying concern: "Nanyi, why are you, this day is like this, as if you are possessed by something." β
"What's the matter, I just feel cold behind my back." I restrained myself from caring about these details, but the white shadow was like a magic barrier, disturbing my sanity. One day of absent-mindedness, I couldn't do things well, and I brittled a few dishes in a row.
Fortunately, the head of the house is not mean, and he doesn't care about his livelihood, so he only says that he will deduct some monthly payments. "Girl, Madame has something to do with you." Could it be that today's appearance is not good and is known by Madame, and she wants to criticize me, although I am a little at a loss, but I still went to that house after all.
I knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response, I buckled a few more times and asked: "Madam, I am Nanyi, the new maid in your house yesterday, can I enter the room?" "There was still silence in the room, a deathly silence. This lady should not have called me for teasing, could it be that something had changed?
I pushed open the door and saw the woman lying on the ground, her hands still on her chest, her eyes closed. I hurriedly stepped forward and picked her up, yes, it was a pick-up, God knows where such a bullish power came from, just squatting down and lifting it lightly, she was picked up.
I put her on the bed steadily, first gently rocking her, and seeing that she still didn't move, I was anxious and slapped her face indiscriminately. When a person faints, the pinching of the person is weak, or the real pain effect is useful.
"Hmm~ it hurts." Madame muttered and slowly opened her eyes, she covered her cheeks, looked at me and asked, "Why am I in bed when you are here?" "Well, I just heard that Madame was looking for me, and when I entered the door, you fainted, and I carried you to the bed." Her consciousness seemed to be wandering, and suddenly her eyes turned to a pot of flowers in front of the window, and she got up and moved towards it. "Come on, get this flower away, don't you know that I can't smell this smell before."
As soon as she shouted, everyone rushed to their knees. "Who is it, so careless I don't know that Madame can't stand this Zhi orchid? He even put her in the lady's inner chamber. One of them, a slightly older man with sharp-beaked monkey gills, said. The people of the underground bowed their heads and said nothing, and no one admitted it.
"You too, don't talk about it, take this flower away." "Yes, yes, yes." They got up and took the pot of flowers, and cowered away. I was so embarrassed where I stood that I wanted to leave. "I didn't smell this flower when I was young, if I sniffed this fragrance for a long time, I would faint, but fortunately you are here."
"Uh, yes." I snorted. The lady covered her face and said as if talking to herself, "It's strange why this face hurts so much." "The speaker has no intention of hearing the intention, and I am embarrassed. I can't just say, "Madam, you're waking me up." β
She suddenly looked at me with her face covered and said, "You know. β
I looked away uncomfortably and said, "This face...... This face...... I do not know. "The first time I lied, my thighs were almost red.
She didn't doubt my words, sat down in front of the vanity mirror and said to herself, "It's all red, it's weird, it's weird." β
