For the next few days, I practiced by myself while others were resting.

At first, my aunt looked at my clumsy dance steps, her eyes were quite anxious, and gradually turned into affirmation, then into praise, and finally with a little appreciation.

I was practicing that day when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned my head and saw that it was another steward of this song and dance troupe, Sister Ping.

"Go make me a cup of tea." She commanded arrogantly.

I couldn't help but be annoyed, when I was in Huo Mansion, although I was a maid, Huo Qubing didn't ask me to do these things. And when I was in Baishui City, Chu Jinmo treated me like a bodhisattva. Now it's really unlucky, not only do I dance every day, but I also have to serve tea and pour water for people, when did I suffer such a wretch!

"What to see, don't go yet!" Seeing that I didn't move, Sister Ping said.

"What's going on? Sister Ping? "My aunt came to my side, this is to relieve me, I feel relieved.

"This new woman is your men?" Sister Ping picked up a silk handkerchief in her hand at random and asked casually.

"Yes, it's stupid, and you still have to practice dancing, if the master's dance is not practiced well, you will be hit by the board!" The eldest aunt put the eldest lady out and said, naturally Sister Ping has nothing to say.

Sure enough, Sister Ping'er's hand holding the silk handkerchief stiffened, her red lips opened lightly, snorted coldly at me, and turned around to leave.

"Thank you!" I said to my aunt.

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Keep practicing!" ”

Halfway through my sleep that night, I wanted to get up and let go of my hands, so I left the hut and walked out of the house as I remembered.

The moon showed half of its face behind the clouds, and the golden light sprinkled over the garden. I walked down the corridor to the back door, where I saw a figure looking sneakily. I immediately remained silent, bent over and peeked to the side.

Under the moonlight, I saw a person wearing a cloak, looking like a woman, she seemed to be waiting for someone. I looked at it for a while and felt bored, and was about to slip away, when suddenly I heard a sound of "cuckoo cuckoo" from outside the house.

The woman replied, "Cuckoo Cuckoo," and a rope fell from the wall, and the woman climbed along the rope, and the people outside the wall pulled her out of the wall with all their might.

It seems that the owner of this song and dance troupe is not very good, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead! One by one, they all have to run away. I haven't seen the eldest lady of this song and dance troupe yet, but my impression of her is greatly reduced when I see this scene.

The woman had already climbed over the wall, and I didn't see anything to look at, so I turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed me, and then I heard a loud shout: "What are you doing here!"

I followed the ghost grip that grabbed me and looked up, and the owner of these hands was Sister Ping'er who asked me to make tea during the day.

I said, "I'll do it!"

Sister Ping threw away my hand and said coldly: "Don't run around in the middle of the night, go back quickly after untying your hand!"

"Yes!" I bowed my eyebrows and walked into the house. Sister Ping'er wore Fang Xin's gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her hand, she carried it deeply, very secretive, if it wasn't for the fact that she was grabbing me just now, and it happened to be in the dark, I saw a flash of gold. If it had been a weekday, I would definitely not have seen it. Why would she wear this thing on her hands?

In the past few days, I have secretly explored the topography here, this annex is a courtyard-style layout, the front hall and the back bedroom, symmetrical left and right, starting from the gate, in order is a small square, a foyer, a main hall, and a back hall. On both sides are flower halls, study rooms and other leisure places.

This is followed by a large garden, and then a three-hall inner house, consisting of eight quadrangle courtyards, which are respectful and orderly. The front and back of the courtyard are decorated with courtyards and planted flowers and trees.

The main building of the master is located in the middle of the eight courtyard houses. Surrounded by rockeries, chiseled spring ponds to plant flowers and trees, and set up bonsai, the environment is beautiful.

The annex may seem small, but it is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to escape.

Back at the hut, I was thinking about how I could leave, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

On the second day, I was woken up by my aunt in a half-dream, she had a black face, and only told me to quickly pack up and go out. I didn't know what was going on, and when I saw her solemn expression, I couldn't ask anything, so I obediently dressed and followed her out of the house.

Follow her to the hall only to find that the atmosphere is not right, the song and dance troupe does not practice as usual, everyone stands straight, their heads are pressed low, and a woman kneels in the middle of the hall. I took a closer look, and it was the Sister Ping I saw last night.

"Sister Ping, you said that the person you saw last night was her?" A handful of voices came to my ears softly, and I felt that the sound was like the moonlight at night, and it was like a gentle note that moved the heart.

I looked up and saw a woman sitting at the top of the hall. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, her face was ruddy, her jet-black hair was gently pulled into a bun, and a golden hairpin was inserted diagonally between her hair, and the swaying on it swayed gently with her speech.

The woman seemed to sit there casually, but her temperament was noble, and she was indescribably beautiful and moving, and I was a little tempted to be a woman.

Sister Ping turned her head to look at me, bowed her head and said, "Yes!" She spoke to me last night with a domineering demeanor.

The woman sitting at the top said, "Who are you?" I haven't seen you before. ”

Before I could answer, the eldest aunt beside me hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Master, I brought it!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

The eldest aunt gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Xiao Yan'er ran away, and when Wang Gui and Zhang Liu went to catch her, they met Mu Lan, when she fainted near Ju Yanhai, they brought her back!" ”

The woman frowned and said, "Wang Gui and Zhang Liu actually dare to do such a thing? I haven't been in charge of things much lately, but everyone has bullied me. Let these two stupid fools who don't know what to do get a hundred boards and a month's fine! ”

It turned out that she was Bai Qianqing, the eldest lady of this song and dance troupe.

Bai Qianqing continued: "Sister Ping, you are an old man, and you should also know the rules. Fang Xin ran away with my score. I knew that she had always wanted to leave me and set up her own door. Fangxin has been following you, what do you say about this? ”

Sister Ping, who had been kneeling on the ground, raised her head and said, "Master, although Fang Xin has always been in charge of my side, you know her temperament, and she has always had two hearts. It's just that I didn't expect that this time it would be a thousand precautions, and it would be difficult to prevent thieves. With that, she squinted at me with the corner of her eye.

Seeing this, I understand, last night I saw that the one who ran was Fang Xin, the second master of the song and dance troupe, it seems that this is looking for a scapegoat.

The eldest aunt said: "Master Mingjian, although Mulan has been here for a few days, I have been keeping an eye on her, and there is nothing wrong under my nose. Fang Xin's escape this time has nothing to do with her! ”

I couldn't help but glance at my eldest aunt, she treated me well.

Sister Ping snorted coldly and said: "Auntie, you lost Xiao Yan'er, you just picked up an outsider on the street and brought it into the song and dance troupe, and you encountered Fang Xin running away, is this a coincidence?" ”

The eldest aunt glared angrily and said, "You are obviously a bloody spurt, and your own subordinates stole the score, why are you still relying on my head!" ”

Sister Ping said: "Master, on weekdays, my eldest aunt relies on herself to control the song and dance troupe and suppress me everywhere. I saw it for real last night," she pointed her hand directly at me, "and she's the one who helped Fangxin escape through the back door!" ”

"Who else but you saw it, and it wasn't you who blamed it!"

Sister Ping sneered, as if she had left a hand, and said, "In addition to me, Xiaoyu has seen it!" ”

A girl in the crowd walked out, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and when she heard Sister Ping call her name, she was so frightened that she almost lay on the ground and said intermittently: "Look at the little one... Indeed, I saw Mulan at the back door last night. ”

I remained silent and looked at the events in front of me as if everything had nothing to do with me.

When my eldest aunt saw Xiaoyu come out to testify, she was stunned for a moment, looking at me with suspicion, and seemed to be thinking about whether she shouldn't help me speak.

Seeing that the eldest aunt stopped talking, Sister Ping looked proud, stood up from the ground, and said, "This time, the eldest aunt, your subordinates helped Fang Xin escape, and it seems that the matter of stealing the music score has nothing to do with you!" ”

"You!" The eldest aunt was angry for a while, and she didn't say a word for a while.

Bai Qianqing really waved her hand, stretched out her jade finger and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "Auntie, since this is your person, what do you say!"

The eldest aunt bit her lip and said, sighed and said, "The master spared her life, and drove her out of the city if she wasted her legs!" ”

Bai Qianqing nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

I laughed out loud, and Sister Ping saw me laughing, and said to me in a mocking tone, "What else do you have to say?" ”

I didn't look at her, I just looked at Bai Qianqing and said, "There is indeed someone here who helped Fangxin escape, but that person is not me." ”

Bai Qianqing glanced at me lightly and said, "Then who do you say?" ”

"Sister Ping!"

Sister Ping seemed to hear a big joke and said: "Dead girl, you are still hard-mouthed when you die, Xiaoyu and I both saw you at the back door last night, and said it wasn't you!" ”

I smiled faintly, but I didn't panic, and said, "The one who appeared at the back door last night was the criminal?" In that case, you and Xiaoyu are both accomplices! ”

Sister Ping'er's face changed, and she said, "You! ”

Without waiting for her to finish, I walked up to her quickly and grabbed her left hand. This sister is no more than ten years old, but she doesn't want me to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but her strength is very great, she struggled for a while and couldn't break free.

I lifted her sleeve open, revealing the gold-encrusted jade bracelet she was wearing deep in her wrist. This bracelet has a unique style and is naturally unforgettable. Everyone exclaimed, "Ah! ”

Sister Ping'er's face changed drastically, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes, and she said, "What are you doing!" ”
