1226, collegiate
- Bai Tao's maid stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a long time, until she saw that Bai Tao's figure had disappeared into the street to turn around, and she was about to turn around and go back to the house, when she suddenly saw the small bottle lying on the bluestone road.
Perhaps there is a providence in the dark, and the place where Mo Ye lost the small bottle is almost at the entrance of the house. Although the small bottle was intentionally left by Bai Tao, because she cared about Ruan Luo, when she went out, it was in this position that she also left the small bottle.
When the bottle was picked up by an ordinary maid in the house, her first thought was to return it. Because she wasn't sure who left the bottle, the maid was going to hand over the bottle to Bai Tao, who was temporarily in charge of the house, but because Bai Tao had just left, the maid thought about it and was ready to hand it over to Mo Ye, who seemed to be very close to Bai Tao.
Going around and around, the bottle finally had to be returned to Mo Ye's hands.
It's just that when the maid asked a few servants and found Mo Ye's location, she walked to the bathing room, but saw that the door was open, where was Mo Ye's figure inside?
Mo Ye reached out and touched her body, took off her clothes and shook it repeatedly, but she still didn't find the small bottle, where was she still in the mood to take a bath at this time?
However, after "peeling" herself, she jumped into the wide and deep tub, but instead of slowly rubbing her skin with her fingers, she held her head, frowned, took a deep breath, and then sinked sharply under the hot water.
At this time, only the feeling of suffocation can make her calm down a little.
By the time she came out from under the hot water, she wasn't as agitated as she had been, but it was because she had found a new reason to convince herself.
I casually wrapped a piece of clothing around my body. No matter how thin it is, my hair is still dripping. Mo Ye ran out of the bathing room and searched for the path she could think of that she had just walked.
Thereupon. When the maid who had picked up the small bottle and came to the bathing room, she saw that the door was wide open, and the empty room was full of water stains.
Fortunately, the water stains in one place slightly reflected some of Mo Ye's footprints, so that the maid looked for Mo Ye's footprints again, and under the condition that the general direction was not wrong, the two were lucky to meet.
Mo Ye took back the small bottle, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only then did he feel the coldness on his body. Although he was trembling, his face was full of joy.
The maid had one less memory in her heart, and her spirit was relieved, but she came to return the bottle, with the intention of asking Mo Ye to help transfer the bottle to Bai Tao, but at this time, as long as the brain was not broken, anyone could see that the owner of the bottle was Mo Ye.
To the maid, it seemed too coincidental.
So the maid was leaving. couldn't help but ask: "Miss Mo, this bottle is actually your thing?" ”
Mo Ye nodded instinctively at first, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses. For a while, all kinds of thoughts in my mind were intricately intertwined, and for a moment there was a mess.
Seeing that Mo Ye only nodded and didn't speak, the maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally thought it was Sister Bai's." So I came to Miss Mo, and I hope you can help me transfer it. Now it is returned to its rightful owner. On the contrary, you can save a trip. ”
The maid said casually, and heard this for the first time. No problem. However, Mo Ye's lost and found property, once her spirit relaxed, her mind would become much sharper when her mind was calm, and she immediately realized that there was something wrong with this girl's words.
Mo Ye originally wanted to ask her, "How do you know that this bottle is a white peach?" But when the sentence was about to reach her lips, she suddenly changed her words.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at the maid again, her mind had completely calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face: "Sister Bai Tao, is there something delayed, you didn't look for her directly?" ”
As soon as she mentioned this, the maid's face showed a sad expression: "Sister Bai went out on the front foot, and I picked up this bottle as soon as I turned around, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up if I want to return it to her." I'm afraid that this bottle will be forgotten if I put it there, because it seems that Sister Bai will go out for a long time, so I came to ask Miss Mo for help. ”
Mo Ye's heart moved, she was about to open her mouth and ask the maid again, "You watched this bottle fall by the white peach?" However, when she was about to say this, she changed her words again, and her tone was only like a casual question: "Have you been out for a long time?" Is there anything important for her to do? ”
"Uh......" The maid suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was because she mentioned it too much that Bai Tao would rush to Ye's house, so she hesitated for a while before replying to Mo Ye.
"Sister Bai Tao seems to have gone to Ye Mansion. The groom who was driving the car just now came back, saying that the young master was still in Yefu, and he only told Sister Bai Tao about the specific reason, although I don't know the details, but I can see that Sister Bai Tao is very worried......"
"What?"
Without waiting for the maid to finish speaking, Mo Ye felt a burst of surprise again, and a trace of sorrow gradually appeared in his heart, and what happened in the early morning resurfaced in front of him.
Combining these fragmented incidents, as well as the causal relationship that they may have, Mo Ye suddenly felt that the chill on the outer layer of his skin seemed to have penetrated into his heart.
But she quickly shook her head again and admonished herself to calm down.
Maybe Bai Tao is there a reason for the incident, maybe he is too worried about Ruan Luo, or maybe Ruan Luo asked Yang Chen to bring her something important and arrange something important, right?
-- What should be the explanation for the fact that it was just a bottle?
I came back from outside, and then waited for the hot water to be ready for bathing, and I didn't go anywhere halfway, if the bottle was lost at the gate, no one else would find it, and it was held until just now, before it was picked up by the girl in front of me.
There may be only one reason, that is, Bai Tao first picked up the bottle she left behind, and then she was left by herself a second time.
But Mo Ye couldn't believe this fact, if a small bottle was lost and regained, and all the twists and turns experienced in the middle were true, then Bai Tao was a person...... Because of her behavior of picking up the bottle and not returning it, her image was shaken for the first time in Mo Ye's heart.
……
If what Mo Ye lost today was just an ordinary bottle of spices, it might not have touched her nerves to be sensitive to this kind of Cheng dù, but this bottle is different! However, if she left behind not such a strange small bottle. Perhaps the white peach still disdains to hide.
Or...... If Bai Tao hadn't been too anxious to worry about Ruan Luo, she wouldn't have missed this omission.
Providence is this thing. Is it really zài?
……
Seeing that Mo Ye learned about Ruan Luo's failure to return, the expression on his face was somewhat similar to the white peach just now. The maid who came to return the bottle only thought that Mo Ye was also worried about Ruan Luo, not only did she not suspect anything, but also said a few words of comfort.
From the words of this maid's persuasion, Mo Ye understood that this maid had misinterpreted her meaning, but she didn't defend a word, and she accepted it all, because she wanted others to misinterpret her mood at this time, and she was ready to hide the suspicion of Bai Tao that appeared in her heart just now.
After separating from the maid, Mo Ye went back to his room first. After thinking for a long time, I first hid the small bottle in the pillow core.
When she changed her dress up in the morning, Mo Ye left her two booklets empty in the room, so the rain on the beach did not affect them. But by this time, she had already realized that her bedroom had become very unsafe.
She suddenly remembered Wu Shu's words, and although she was a little reluctant, she still made a decision quickly. Wait until tomorrow, and I will definitely find an opportunity to remove those two booklets, and if I can't hide them, I will destroy them.
As for the small bottles...... Mo Ye sat in silence in the room and thought for a long time, glancing at it. When she saw the splendid purse that had been embroidered a little crookedly on her dress when she had changed out of her daughter's outfit in the morning—it was the self-defense potion bag that Yenuo had given her—she suddenly had a sense of certainty in her heart.
Yang Chen took a bath and hugged a few changed clothes. I'm going to go to the well pavilion and rub it with clean water casually, and then dry it. The clothes were not stained. It's just wet by the rain, if he stays in the past, he walks around. It is estimated that it will be taken to dry directly. However, now he unconsciously considers that his current life situation has changed too much, and his mood has changed unconsciously.
After all, it was because he saw the second prince at the gate of the Ye Mansion just now, and the scene of kneeling at the gate of the Ye Mansion, which made him a little stimulated.
Holding his clothes and walking towards Jingting, Yang Chen was still thinking about what he had seen and heard at the gate of Ye Mansion, and finally couldn't help but silently sneer: What if the emperor and the emperor gave up his face when he saw it? I can't get my own peace and comfort.
He was thinking about "peace and comfort" by himself, and he was careless and unguarded by a person running in front of him, almost hitting him.
Yang Chen has martial arts, although his martial arts skills are limited, his basic kung fu is still practiced very solidly repeatedly, and he is not so easy to be knocked over. When he saw the person rushing towards him, although he reacted a little late, he only deviated slightly, and he was still able to give way - if this person could kill the horse pistol, maybe Yang Chen would not be able to come up with a backup move.
However, it is obviously impossible for this person to have such good skills, she is just one of the many maids in the Song Mansion, which is very ordinary.
The maid who came in a hurry was also thinking about something, and she was a little in a trance, and when she realized that she was about to bump into someone, it seemed too late to dodge away, so she simply squinted her eyes and prepared to be hit.
She never expected that Yang Chen would be able to dodge to the side in such a short time.
So she had to fall to the ground firmly.
It is Yang Chen's instinct to avoid impacts, and he has the foundation to practice martial arts, so his action reaction will naturally be more agile than ordinary people. However, when he saw the girl in front of him falling straight to the ground, and the soles of his feet seemed to be able to feel the slight vibration of the floor tiles when the girl hit the ground with flesh and bones, he suddenly felt a trace of pity and remorse - if he hadn't dodged just now, she might not have had to fall so hard?
When he picked up the maid, Yang Chen looked at her carefully a few times before asking, "You didn't break anything, did you?" ”
After the maid staggered to her feet, although she reached out and rubbed her arms and shoulders from time to time, she only shook her head again and again in response to Yang Chen's inquiry.
Seeing that the other party said that he was fine, Yang Chen turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take a few steps away, he heard the maid's voice behind him: "Wait." ”
……
After chatting with the maid for a few words, Yang Chen naturally became familiar with her, but what surprised him was that the reason why this maid named Xiaohua was in a hurry was to find him! But when he asked her what was the matter, she couldn't answer.
From the moment the two of them almost collided with each other just now, Xiaohua followed Yang Chen's footsteps and did not leave. Walking to Jingting, Yang Chen stopped, and finally couldn't help asking: "Little flower girl, you came to me, really just to help me wash my clothes?" ”
Xiaohua was slightly stunned, and nodded seriously after a while, but did not speak.
Yang Chen looked at Xiaohua quietly, did not speak, and did not throw the clothes to be washed in his hand into the basin. Xiaohua looked at him like this, and vaguely felt that there was a trace of strangeness in the atmosphere of the venue.
The two stood face to face for a moment without saying a word as if they were in a stalemate, and finally Yang Chen sighed lightly and said bluntly: "If you want to inquire about anything through me, just ask, otherwise I won't dare to bother you even if I want to be lazy." ”
Xiaohua lowered her head slightly when she heard this, pulling her sleeves and still didn't make a sound, but her face was obviously much redder than just now.
Seeing this, Yang Chen only shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.
He didn't have any happy days, he had been living a life of almost wandering, and he missed a lot of beautiful scenery. Today was the first time he had seen a girl's shy appearance so closely, but somehow, in addition to the first time he saw the white and tender little face that was suddenly full of redness, he felt a little novel, and then he only sighed silently: The woman's shyness is really troublesome.
If the reason for Xiaohua's embarrassment was him, he might have some other gentle feelings, but before that, he had no intersection with Xiaohua at all, which was obviously impossible to imagine. And if you put aside the emotional factor and restore the essence of the matter, then the woman's reserve and shyness is almost an idiot for him.
Bringing a bucket of water from the well and throwing his clothes into the basin to soak, Yang Chen looked at Xiaohua who neither spoke nor wanted to leave, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "You don't want to ask Young Master Ruan about it, right?" ”
For the group of servants who had been living together for many years in the Song Mansion, Yang Chen was just a new helper, that is, a stranger, and when everyone was not too familiar with each other before, the news he had that was valuable to other servants was very likely to be directed towards a certain person.
Yang Chen is not sluggish, and he is not so easy to be sentimental, he just gave the woman in front of him a little reserved space, but seeing that the other party has been indifferent, he himself is not used to being stared at like this by a strange woman, so he has to take the initiative to ask.
In fact, just as he expected, when his words just fell, there was no need to wait for Xiaohua to make sure, Yang Chen had already been able to capture some small details from the fleeting changes in the expression on her face...... (To be continued......)
