20. The nature of the common people is inexorable

The moment Xinyue opened her eyes, the red embroidered ornament on the top of the bed was swaying in the wind. Bright red fills the entire field of vision, like a blooming red rose.

Last night, I had a drunken dream, and the girl became a woman. Xinyue held her hot cheeks with both hands, and she was shy and had an endless aftertaste of joy.

Savor it and think about it, Nansheng said affectionately last night, the bright moon in the sky is only one and only, and he will only love the moon for the rest of his life. The heart moon surrounded by happiness, immersed in dreams for a long time...

Reaching out to touch the people around him, Nansheng didn't see anyone. Xinyue sat up on her back, raised her eyes and looked around, squinting her eyes and wondering, "Where did the Nansheng people go on this sweet day?" Thinking about it again, "On the Nanwang Mansion, a big living person, can he still lose it?" ”

She dispelled the idea of looking for him, got up in a daze, was attracted by the ornaments on the dressing mirror, and sat down in front of the mirror to watch. A jade bracelet in the left hand, a bead hairpin in the right hand, a delicate ornament, I like it and I can't put it down. stared at the person in the mirror and admired it, and was stunned for a long time.

I can't believe what I'm looking for, it's like a dream. Wandering around the stall ornaments, the scene seems to be yesterday. Today, a trance, holding jewelry.

"Young lady." Xinyue sat alone on the dressing mirror table, admiring the jewelry. At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, accompanied by the low call of a maid.

Young lady? Xinyue listened to this title, and she was not used to it in the strangeness. But this title is destined to follow, and it has to be reluctantly accepted.

The maid gently pushed the door in, and when she saw Xinyue looking at her in confusion, she approached Xinyue's side, bent over and saluted and said with a smile, "Young lady, the slave's name is Ziqing, and she is a girl sent by Madame to serve the young lady." ”

Xinyue looked at the smiling Ziqing, and saw that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. A pair of smart eyes, looking quite clever. Although his body is a little plump, his smile can show joy. When I saw her for the first time, I had a good impression of her.

"The son went to greet the lady, and let the slave wait for the young lady." Ziqing said as she groomed Xinyue. She has nimble hands and feet, and her movements are skillful. A discerning person can also see that he has been in this house for a long time.

Although he is skillful, he is still a little nervous. After all, I changed to a new master, and I didn't understand it at all. No, when inserting the bead hairpin for Xinyue, Ziqing's hand trembled, and the bead hairpin fell to the ground in an instant and shattered.

Looking at the broken pearl hairpin, Ziqing's face turned white with fright. This is a valuable thing, and a girl can't afford to pay for it.

She knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed on the ground, and blamed herself in her heart, "Young lady, the slave is at fault!" Slaves and maids should be damned! Slaves and maids should be damned! …”

Xinyue was stunned when she knelt on the ground. Seeing her kowtow and blaming herself, she looked dumbfounded for a long time. I thought to myself, is it so scary? Girl, I'm not a tiger. Do you need to make such a big gift?

Xinyue looked at the mirror platform, picked up another pearl hairpin, and stared at the pearl hairpin for a moment. Innocently said to Ziqing, "There are so many pearls, and it's not a pity to lose one." ”

Ziqing couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, this young lady didn't know how expensive the pearls were, and thought that the large number was not expensive. But how do you know that a little girl, who sells half her life in this mansion, can't afford to lose the value of the pearl hairpin.

"Alright, alright. How can I blame you for your unintentional actions? Get up. Xinyue saw that she knelt on the ground, and her face was full of sorrow, and her heart softened and comforted her. looked out the window and said to her with a smile, "It's really good today, you can go to my house with you." ”

Ziqing thanked Dade for getting up from the ground. Hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the ground. Xinyue changed into a gorgeous dress, which was a light and elegant color that she preferred. After she used the morning toilet leisurely, she went to this mansion for a walk.

If the house is huge, there is really everything. Flower sea bamboo forest, rockery clear pond. All kinds of scenery are colorful, as if entering the world.

Xinyue was full of interest, shuttling between the buildings, and walking on a small bridge. I walked around the garden and teased the goldfish in the clear pond. Walking to the corner of the garden, a golden orange tree stopped her steps.

The lush orange trees are full of small yellow oranges. It was full of small lanterns, flickering in the sunlight and breeze.

Xinyue looked greedily at the tree, and smacked her lips unconsciously. When I think of the smell of oranges, my heart is ready to move.

"Is this orange edible?" Xinyue raised her head, looked left and right, and asked Ziqing beside her.

"Young lady, this orange is not to be eaten, it can only be used for viewing." Ziqing replied to her, secretly covering her mouth and laughing.

"Just for viewing? It's a pity... Then get one down and play with it. "Xinyue's interest is natural, and she is childlike for a while.

The idea arises, but how? Now as a young lady, with a noble status, she can't climb the tree as before. Hey, there you have it! You can find a stick and knock it down. Xinyue thought about it and came up with a good idea.

So she immediately moved and searched everywhere. Ziqing followed her closely, and the two of them walked around, and while searching for Ziqing with sharp eyes, they suddenly found a bamboo stick.

"Young lady, this is good." Ziqing picked up the bamboo stick on the ground, smiled and handed it to Xinyue.

Xinyue happily took a bamboo stick, lifted her skirt and ran to the orange tree. She stood on tiptoe, stretched out her bamboo stick in one hand, and tried to touch the branch upward, beating it hard.

As she knocked it, the green leaves on the branches fluttered down......

"Higher, higher, young lady... Left dots... Yeah... Click on the right..."Ziqing helped to see the direction, reminding her on the side.

The two of them were under the orange tree, very busy. No one noticed that Mrs. Nan and the maid were following the sound and walking slowly towards this direction.

When Mrs. Nan approached, her brows frowned slightly. He was silent, standing behind him and staring.

Ziqing turned her head and saw Mrs. Nan, she stiffened in fright, and after relieving herself, she stepped forward in a panic, bowed her head and shouted, "Madam." ”

Xinyue turned around when she heard the voice, and when she saw her mother-in-law arriving, she was stunned for a moment, hid the bamboo stick behind her back, and quietly threw the bamboo stick in her hand.

"Knock" The sound of the bamboo stick falling to the ground, rolling down and hitting Xinyue's jade feet, she screamed in pain, raised her jade feet and reached out to caress them.

Mrs. Nan stared at her solemnly, and did not say anything for a long time. Xinyue felt less pained, so she hurriedly stepped forward, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes to salute, "Good morning, mother-in-law." ”

Mrs. Nan raised her eyes to look at the sky, then looked at Xinyue calmly, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "It's not early, it's almost noon." ”

Xinyue also looked up at the sky, choked by these words. Tilting his head and thinking about it, he changed his tone and asked, "Good afternoon, mother-in-law." ”

"As the young lady of the Nanwang Mansion, you must have the demeanor of a young lady. Xu is a commoner, and he doesn't understand these things. In the future, slowly, you have to follow the rules. After some earnest teaching, Mrs. Nan turned around gracefully and walked away slowly.

Xinyue looked at the back of Mrs. Nan and stood there stupidly. Ziqing also froze like a stake.
