- After Yang Chen took a bath, he held a few changed clothes, and was about to go to the well pavilion to rub it casually with clean water, and then dry it. The clothes were not stained, but they were wet by the rain, and if they were left in the past, they would probably be taken to dry. 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 could already capture some small details from the fleeting changes in the expression on her face.
It will be much easier to set up a correct ambush in your mind and then observe the minds of others.
So this time, without waiting for Xiaohua to refuse to speak, Yang Chen said slowly as if talking to himself: "Young Master Ruan has some things to do in the Ye Mansion, and there may be some trouble, but this trouble is from the Ye Mansion, and it has nothing to do with Young Master Ruan himself. ”
It was only at this time that Xiaohua finally refused to speak, and only said two words: "Really? ”
"Even if you think I'm lying to you, then I can't find a second one." Yang Chen looked at Xiaohua, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Could it be that this little flower girl has fallen in love with the Song family's Ruan Gongzi? But didn't Ruan Luo say that he had been in the outer county before? He had only lived in the Song Mansion for a few days, so it was inevitable that he would ......
Thinking far away, he forgot for a while that he was still looking at the other party facing Xiaohua, but let the other party capture some of his thoughts on his face and eyes.
Xiaohua's face turned even redder, and she was stunned on the spot for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Little brother, you, don't get me wrong, I'm just helping Sister Xiaocao to ask......"
It was only at this time that she said such a thing, and the suspicion of making it up was too great. Halfway through the sentence, she herself seemed to be aware of the problem, and she couldn't talk about it anymore.
However, Yang Chen didn't face her directly, and he had an idea, and said along the water: "Then go and tell your sister Xiaocao about this good news!" ”
As soon as Yang Chen's words came out, it seemed as if he had untied a shackle for Xiaohua.
This time, she replied quickly, and she didn't hesitate any longer, just said "um", and immediately turned around and ran away.
This time, it was Yang Chen's turn to be stunned, and said secretly: Woman, woman, what makes your forgetfulness so big? Didn't you just say you were going to do my laundry?
However, although he secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't really want the maid to wash his clothes, but when he first started living in the Song Mansion, he felt a lot of discomfort! There is still too much luxury.
Seeing that the clothes had been soaked in the basin for a while, Yang Chen was ready to rub them twice and dry them, and it was very convenient to do it according to his habits. However, when he just stretched out his hands and plunged into the water, he suddenly grabbed a hedgehog like his hand at the bottom of the basin, and his whole body was shocked, and his wet hair almost did not stand up!
After his hands stiffened for a while, Yang Chen hurriedly picked up the clothes soaked in the water, shook them in the air, and then a wet brocade bag fell out.
In normal times, Yang Chen should be happy to see that this thing is still in his pocket, but at this time, he is not happy at all - how much he hopes, at least in the time when he is washing clothes, this thing will not appear!
He would not have carried such a delicate thing on his body, and this brocade bag was something that Wang Zhe gave to him a few days ago when he asked him to go with him to move books.
He can still remember very clearly that when Wang Zhe gave him this brocade bag, the serious and solemn look on his face, and the sentence he repeated repeated:
"Don't open this bag until you need to, because it will only help you the first time you use it."
You can only use it once, is it paper in the bag? Yang Chen recalled what Wang Zhe had said at this time, and only felt quite worried.
As soon as he was not careful, he actually wasted the things that Wang Zhe had entrusted him with like this, Yang Chen suddenly felt a lot of guilt in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say: Women are wrong! If it weren't for the little girl just now, he would probably remember the contents of the clothes before doing the laundry.
This kind of troublesome thought quickly passed through his mind, and Yang Chen sighed deeply and stopped this thought. Before picking up the brocade bag, he thought to himself, if he made it look like this, he wouldn't be able to open it and check it. And when he picked up the brocade bag in his hand, he subconsciously clenched his palm, trying to squeeze away the water soaked in the bag, and at this moment, his hand felt that there was something hard in the bag.
"Not paper?"
He suddenly felt a slight joy in his heart.
"What could it be?"
Yang Chen pinched the brocade bag some more, and there should have been a layer of soft cotton silk in the bag, which lost its soft elasticity because of the immersion, so that he didn't realize that the bag was filled with hard objects until now.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chen still decided to open it to take a look. If it's really a hard thing, then it's something that has a physical store, and it will dissipate as soon as it leaves the bag? And then I think about it, if there are both hard things in it and some paper things hidden in it, then if I don't check it at this time, it may be too late to save it after a while.
But there are too many idlers here in Jingting, so it is really not suitable to open the bag here to check this brocade bag that Wang Zhe solemnly advised.
Hurriedly wringed out the clothes and threw them on the drying rope, Yang Chen prepared to go back to his residence. But as soon as he turned around, he saw another man coming towards him, and when he saw that the man was disheveled, he thought that he was some idle servant, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he could not help but be a little surprised.
The person who came was Mo Ye, she was a woman, but she came to the well pavilion used by the men in the house, in fact, she was looking for Yang Chen.
After only a few words, Yang Chen learned that Mo Ye came to him for Ruan Luo's business.
At this time, Yang Chen remembered the matter of the brocade bag in his heart, and remembered that he had neglected the brocade bag just now because of the greeting, and he couldn't help but become a little anxious, and said secretly: I just sent one away, and another one came in a blink of an eye, is this the will of heaven ready to trick me?
He didn't have the patience to greet Mo Ye about this, but his mind quickly turned again, because he couldn't see the slightest hint of a woman's cowardly posture on Mo Ye's face, compared to the maid Xiaohua who had just followed her here like a fart and refused to say anything, Mo Ye's attitude when he spoke was obviously much tougher, and he asked the root of the problem directly.
Mo Ye came to him, there was really something.
When it came to business, Yang Chen's mind calmed down a little, and after asking Mo Ye a few words, he was surprised again. But what surprised him this time was not the ethereal providence, but the human heart with a point.
After pondering for a while, Yang Chen looked at Mo Ye and said slowly: "Ruan Gongzi's original words, in addition to telling you not to worry about him, although you don't have to go over, he also said that if you must go over and look at him, this is what Wang Gongzi entrusted to you after all." ”
Mo Ye hesitated: "What are the words he left for Bai Tao?" ”
Yang Chen shook his head slightly: "I didn't leave anything specific for Bai Tao, but Bai Tao is half the head of the Song Mansion, and he didn't tell her everywhere, also because of her experience, she can preside over some things alone, right?" ”
Mo Ye paid attention to the word experience in Yang Chen's words, and she suddenly had a trace of strange feelings in her heart, and she didn't speak for a while.
Yang Chen watched Mo Ye's silence, thought for a while, and said, "When I came back to tell Bai Tao about these things just now, you weren't by her side, did you have something to delay, she was anxious Ruan Gongzi, and happened to forget to tell you?" ”
Mo Ye heard his speculation for the first time, and felt that it was reasonable, but as soon as she remembered that she had delayed herself just now, she quickly recalled the loss and recovery of the small bottle, and for the white peach, she almost withdrew her doubts, and suddenly returned, and became deeper.
"Brother Yang, I want to go to Ye Mansion." Mo Ye, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke.
"Okay." Yang Chen agreed very neatly, but in an instant he hesitated again: "You have to wait for a while, I have to clean up before I can send you over." ”
It was only at this time that Mo Ye noticed with some hindsight that Yang Chen had just bathed. His heart moved, and Mo Ye suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, Brother Yang, I'll just go alone." The trip back just now is so tired that you can't be alone for me again, so trouble again. ”。 R1152
