Chapter 80: Seeing Fifth Master Chu for the First Time
"Miss, Moqin is finished, I want to see you, do you want to see you?" Sister Hui was describing Danqing as a gift to visit Tongyu the day after tomorrow, and Zhou's mother came to report.
"Let her in."
"Yes."
After a while, Moqin sobbed, came in with her head down, and knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the door.
After a long silence, Sister Hui finished the last stroke, then put down the pen in her hand and said, "What do you want to see me?" ”
"Little Miss, the slave doesn't understand."
"The house stipulates that every day, the maids who change shifts have to come to serve, but you haven't seen anyone for a long time, so you are so lazy, you will naturally be punished." Sister Hui said as she glanced at Zhou's mother, and she saw her body moving unnaturally when she heard it.
"When you come to ask me now, you never take the rules of the house to heart, so it can be seen that today's punishment is still light."
"Yes, the slave is wrong." Mo Qin hurriedly said, his face was unwilling to disperse, but he still hesitated.
Sister Hui waved her hand, let Moqin get up, stepped aside, and called Zhou's mother.
"Mother Zhou."
"The slave is here," Zhou's mother hurriedly replied
"You take this painting down, let the people below find a suitable frame, to be light and elegant, I will go to the palace of Dong'an County the day after tomorrow and give it to the county lord."
Mother Zhou took the painting handed by Sister Hui and carefully held it out of the door.
"Qiu Ju came first today, she said that Mother Xu and Moqi are not dead, they are on the godmother Zhuangzi." When Zhou's mother went out, Sister Hui said lightly while watching Moqin pack up her painting tools.
The pen in Moqin's hand fell on the table with a click, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his body trembling, "Miss, Miss, slave, slave and Wang's mother, last night" hurriedly spoke, but he knew that he was wrong, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to say.
"You and Mother Wang were talking last night, I'm afraid she heard it outside." Sister Hui'er interface
"Ask the young lady to punish the slave."
Mo Qin cried again, she knew that she had caused a big disaster, Qiu Ju was the old lady's person, if this matter was known to the old lady, the lives of the young lady and the young master would definitely be lost
"Hey, get up, it's already punished today." Sister Hui got up and helped her up.
"Today's punishment is not to punish you for not coming to serve me, but to punish you for not being cautious enough, we live in the house, and there are eyes everywhere. In the past, there was ink chess by your side, and I often reminded you that in the future, if you are not there, you have to grow up by yourself, otherwise it will not only hurt me and Brother Xuan, but I am afraid that you will also be harmed. Sister Hui explained softly
"Yes, Miss taught, slaves and maids should never be forgotten, but," Moqin knelt on the ground and said hurriedly
"Qiu Ju is not an old lady's person, and for the time being, she can be regarded as having the same heart as us, but you have to keep an eye on it." Sister Hui next to her didn't explain much.
"Yes, the slave knows."
Although Moqin is not thoughtful, it is rare that Sister Hui is what she says. Although Sister Hui'er said that she was not complete, Moqin knew that if Miss said that it was okay, it was okay, so she naturally smiled on her face and nodded vigorously.
"You wipe your face, I'm afraid Qiu Ju and Mother Zhou will come back later." Sister Hui stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on Mo Qin's face and smiled.
At night, it was Qiu Ju and Moqin's vigil, and when it was late at night, after Moqin fell asleep.
Qiu Ju shook Sister Hui awake "Third Miss, Third Miss, Third Miss"
As soon as Sister Hui opened her eyes, she was almost frightened when she saw Qiu Ju's face, but fortunately, Qiu Ju covered her mouth so that she didn't make a sound.
Seeing that her eyes were gradually clear, Qiu Ju let go of her hand, and Sister Hui said, "What's the matter?" ”
"The fifth master wants to see you."
Sister Hui fell asleep and woke up instantly.
Sitting up, in the moonlight, he once again took the person in front of him seriously. She was reluctant to reach a direct agreement with Qiu Ju today because she had many doubts.
According to Qiu Ju's words, coupled with her understanding of the old lady, since the little uncle was in the hands of the old lady as soon as he was born, there is no reason to let go, the little uncle must be trapped somewhere, Qiu Ju is a little girl, and she can not be suspected by the old lady of secretly taking care of the uncle, which shows her ability.
An eight-year-old child, naturally can't do many things, so the loyal servant in front of him thinks about him, and she can't see the uncle himself, and she still hesitates about many things. But Qiu Ju can understand what she means in just one day, and she can take her to see her uncle tonight, which shows that she is a person who can cooperate.
"The third lady doesn't need to be surprised, the fifth master was locked up by the old lady in a bamboo house in the back mountain forest, where no one in the house will go, and someone else will guard it, but there are a lot of bamboos behind the bamboo forest, we can go in from that side, and the fifth master will talk to us from the corner."
"You made incense for Moqin again?" Sister Hui didn't answer Qiu Ju's words, and instead pointed to Mo Qin, who was breathing evenly and had not shown any signs of waking up. Moqin has always been cautious at night, and Qiu Ju said a few words, it is impossible not to be affected by half a point.
"You don't have to shy away from her in the future." Sister Hui looked at Qiu Ju and said seriously.
I was secretly worried in my heart, and I didn't know that there would be side effects of using the incense twice in a day, and I had to find a doctor to take a look at her tomorrow.
Qiu Ju responded, carefully serving Sister Hui'er all the way to dress, and the two secretly went to the back mountain.
It was about the middle of the night, and there was only the sound of insects chirping in the forest, and the forest was behind the old lady's Shoukang Hall, and then behind the forest, it was also out of the boundary of the Anning Mansion.
"At this hour, it is the time when the caretaker is most relaxed, let's go from the back, there is a hole in the corner of the wall, and I have to complain that the third lady lies on the ground and talks to the fifth master."
Sister Hui nodded, thought about it and touched her arm, "Now that it's getting summer, I don't know if there are snakes on the ground, you have to guard it." ”
Qiu Ju laughed quietly, "The third lady is still afraid of that thing, don't worry, the slave will guard it." ”
Sister Hui was a little embarrassed on her face, didn't speak, and continued to walk forward. When you get close to the bamboo house, you have to go around the forest with Qiu Ju, the inside is more dense, along the way, Sister Hui doesn't care about the face problem, she pulls Qiu Ju's hand hard, shuttles all the way, occasionally nightingales and insects chirp, Sister Hui also whispered, "You want to protect Uncle, I'm afraid you have to have a martial arts, right?" ”
"Fists and kicks."
"Seriously!" Sister Hui was happy on her face, she asked casually, but it was true.
"Yes."
Sister Hui made up for it in her mind, thinking that Qiu Ju would be a master in the world, and she could solve anything except ghosts, and she was not so afraid in an instant. After the two of them arrived at the bamboo house, Qiu Ju grabbed Sister Hui'er, quietly approached the guard, sprinkled a handful of white powder, and then returned to Sister Hui'er.
"Okay, Miss, that person can't wake up for the time being, let's go see the fifth master."
"Since he's asleep, why don't we enter through the main entrance." Sister Hui wondered
"The outside door looks like a bamboo door, but there is a layer of fine iron door inside, and the old lady on the door has hired a skillful craftsman to make a clever lock, and others can't open it easily."
"Let's go first." Sister Hui understood and said
Qiu Ju nodded, leading the way.
Sister Hui lay down according to what Qiu Ju said before, and Qiu Ju shouted at the round hole about half a foot in diameter: "Fifth master, the third lady has arrived." ”
