Chapter 40: The slave is called Haoyue
"Hazy Moon?"
In the question, Xiao Meng swept to Haoyue's face and put away his look of surprise, "Hanako, what do you want me to call you?" ”
Haoyue pursed her lips, nodded slightly and bowed, "Miss, the slave is called Haoyue!" ”
The voice is as light as a mosquito.
Hanako is no longer Hanako!
Xiao Meng nodded, "Haoyue, and your name?" Look at Rulan.
"The slave maid is Rulan, and the slave maid and Haoyue are arranged to serve Miss Xiao."
Xiao Meng has never been served by anyone when he is so old, and he is a stranger and a stranger, slightly uncomfortable, "Come in and say!" ”
Glancing at Haoyue, who bowed his head, Xiao Meng turned around and entered the room, still returning to the seat where he was reading, and asked according to the imaginary question,
"Rulan, where were you on duty? What to do? What will happen? What do you want to do? Talk to me about it! ”
Rulan's attitude was not respectful, and she sat on the stool with Xiao Mengping without permission when she entered the room.
Haoyue entered the room and stood aside, glanced at Rulan, and felt that Rulan was a bit of a bully, but her lips moved slightly, she didn't open her mouth, and she still hung her head.
Xiao Meng picked up the teacup and drank tea, thinking with low eyes.
Rulan a maid dares to be so rude in front of the young lady she wants to serve, about the words of which master she got before she came, she has a tough backer! Mrs. Tai is in charge of the backyard of the Gu family, and it is most likely that Mrs. Tai gave her permission! ’
'Should I fight back on the spot?' Or look at the situation again? ’
Rulan sat on the stool and began to observe Xiao Meng's expression, and did not answer the question.
Seeing that Xiao Meng was just drinking tea with his eyes down, he was not angry, and he was even more contemptuous for a while.
Some of the young ladies are real young ladies, and it is only natural for me to serve them, but some of them are just sparrows that fly up the branches, and they still want me to serve them, and it is almost the same in exchange. Just like Xiao Meng, I can't get married in the future, I was born with a good looks, which man doesn't covet it, refuses a lot of rotten flies, just wants to climb a good one, I didn't expect Mrs. Tai to flirt with me here. Don't delay with her. ’
Rulan, who had the idea of climbing another high branch, did not have Xiao Meng in her eyes at all, and she was lazy for a while.
"Miss Xiao, originally I was serving at Aunt He, the third master's mother-in-law, but Aunt He left, and the slaves and maids were waiting for the time being. When I serve Aunt He, I only take care of Aunt He's books, and I don't have to do the rest! ”
'Let her fend for herself!' I'm too lazy to waste my own tongue energy. ’
Xiao Meng sighed lightly after thinking about it, and did not accuse her of being rude.
"However, I don't have anything here, I have to send someone to take care of it, since you don't know anything else, the big people of the Gu family should always know something. In the future, I don't need you to do anything here, just use you to run errands and spread the word to find out the news, how about it? ”
These words are right for Rulan's thoughts, she already wants to find her own way, why don't she want to run around and make some high-ranking people?
Rulan's eyes lit up, she didn't expect Xiao Meng to be so weak and easy to handle, so as not to fail this good errand, she got up and saluted respectfully.
"The errand ordered by the young lady, such as Lan Ding, should be completed!"
Xiao Meng nodded, "There happens to be something, I have been out of the Falling Moon Pavilion for a long time, and I have never seen the young master's wife. Although I have amnesia, after all, it is an old friend, and I have to pay a visit anyway. I was in trouble before, and the young master's wife came to visit despite the obstruction, and she should also pay a return visit. It's just that I don't know if the young master's wife is inconvenient? You help me hand over a post, if it's convenient, it's natural, if the young master's wife is not idle, you can help me say hello, and besides, come back and tell me about the young master's wife's current situation. ”
Rulan pouted invisibly.
'This is an unforgettable old love, and I want to turn over! Just like you, do you want the young master to pity again? ’
Being able to go to the young master's yard is something that Rulan has been looking forward to. You must know that the young master is the future head of the family, and if you climb the young master, you will become the most promising person in the Gu family.
How could Rulan not be happy, and bowed again, "Yes, Rulan obeys!" ”
Xiao Meng didn't say much, found a blank post sent by the Gu family yesterday, and wrote a few words with a brush. Xiao Meng has never practiced calligraphy, and it is naturally crooked when he writes it, and Rulan looks down on it a little more in his eyes. But Haoyue, seeing Xiao Meng writing such words seriously without being humble or arrogant, thinking of his inferiority, couldn't help but admire a little. If it were her, she would be so ashamed that she would have buried her head under the table.
Rulan took the errand and left, leaving only Xiao Meng and Haoyue in the house.
Haoyue kept standing with her head down, and Xiao Meng said to her, "You come and sit too!" ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Haoyue replied softly.
Xiao Meng frowned, how come it has only been two days of hard work, and Hanako has completely changed as a person.
Not forcing her, Xiao Meng took out a purse containing money baht from his arms, counted eighteen copper baht from it, counted twenty more, and handed it over.
"Haoyue, this is the eighteen copper baht you paid for my medical expenses earlier. The other twenty are your thank you for helping me for those four days! ”
Haoyue looked at the thirty-eight copper baht and was shocked. She didn't expect Xiao Meng to keep in mind the matter of repaying the money.
However, she didn't move in a daze, and Xiao Meng glanced at her.
"Here, this is for you and what you deserve, not that I will reward you! What's there to worry about with your own money? ”
Haoyue accepted it in her heart and held it in her hand.
Xiao Meng didn't say much, got up and went to the inner room again, found the brocade box containing rouge beauty cream that was sent yesterday, and put it on the round table.
"I don't have the same dignity now, and I can't use these icing on the cake. I received these yesterday, and when I was packing them up, I thought about sending them to you, and if you came, I'll give them to you now. You have dark skin, and it will be better to take care of it for a while and wear makeup! ”
Haoyue clenched her hands suddenly, her nails almost embedded in the flesh, "Miss, this is your thing, the slave can't take it!" ”
Xiao Meng didn't care, picked up the book on the table and looked down at it, his mouth was careless, "If you don't like it, help me give it away." What you don't need is a waste to keep it! ”
After speaking, Xiao Meng looked at the book intently and stopped talking.
Haoyue bit her lip and was silent for a while, put the copper baht in her pocket, lowered her head and moved the brocade box, and said softly.
"Then the slave will accept it, thank you Miss for the reward!"
"Hmm-" Xiao Meng replied softly.
After a while, he added, "I'm fine here." Where you live, go clean up. I'll bring me breakfast later. I have something to go out after breakfast, you follow! ”
Long Yue whispered and left, and after she left, Xiao Meng looked up at the outside and sighed, "The road is chosen by yourself!" And he looked impermanent, and buried himself in the book.
……
"Do you want to buy pills? It is difficult to buy it in the market outside, generally the big families of cultivating immortals have their own Dantang, and the Gu family has one, although it is not as good as the Xue family, it is also much stronger than the ordinary big family of cultivating immortals. Moreover, the Gu family's supply of medicinal materials is abundant, there is never a shortage of medicinal materials, and there are so many low-level pills that are easy to refine that the Gu family can't even compare! ”
When Xiao Meng took Haoyue downstairs, he met Gu Susu and asked.
Gu Susu is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is easier to speak.
After asking, Hao Yue took Xiao Meng around many courtyards and came to the Dantang in the southeast of the Gu family.
"Miss, to the east, is the center of the Gu family's training of inner and outer disciples, to the northeast is the clan house where the outer disciples live together, and to the southeast there is an ancestral hall, a Dan hall, a library pavilion, a planting hall, a teaching garden, and so on!"
If the west of the Gu family is the inner courtyard of the Gu family, then the east is the training base of the Gu family.
There are people with a mixed variety of backgrounds, including qualified men and women from the Gu family, descendants with poor talent from the Gu family, and outsiders with excellent talent from the Gu family.
They compete fiercely with each other for the opportunity to rise to the top of the few.
Gu Yuxun is a talent recruited by the Gu family from outside, and at first he also lived in the clan house here, received training here, and then quickly stood out because of his outstanding talent, so he was given his family name, boarded the family tree, and lived in the inner courtyard of the west of the Gu family.
Originally, Gu Yuxun was the object of respect and admiration of the disciples inside and outside the east, and it was a topic of discussion, but now that he is back here again, Xiao Meng instead of Gu Yuxun feels the warmth and coldness of the human feelings after the fall of genius, and the world is hot and cold.
