In the early morning, a touch of golden light accompanied by the loud rooster crow slowly rises from the east mountain, shining on the quiet city of Suzhou, announcing the beginning of the day.

In the distance, brisk seagulls also flew casually in the rising sun, sometimes stopping on the eaves of the people's houses in the city, sometimes landing on the fishing boats docked in the bay, but more often hovering in the air of Chufu.

They knew that on this day every year, the young master in this mansion would lead a group of maids to feed them, and the young master didn't know what seasoning to use to make the originally delicious fish even more delicious.

Li Xiao got up early, he was woken up by the seagulls flying in the air, these sea elves always come to knock on his window on this day, at first he was a little interested, but after a long time, he regretted how he chose these greedy guys as the experimental subjects.

But it doesn't work if you don't pay attention to it, these guys have perseverance that ordinary people can't match, so they have no choice but to get out of bed.

The maid Miao Miao was already waiting outside the door, and when she heard a noise in the young master's room, she held the spring water from the mountains in the early morning, pushed the door open and walked in. The young master of his own family is different from other families, since the young master can dress himself, he no longer relies on the maid, and the maid is not allowed to move forward after he finishes dressing.

Now, although Li Xiao has explained many times, the maids don't seem to buy it, and slowly Li Xiao can only take a step back and allow them to come in, but he still has to do it himself.

As a person whose mental age is already an uncle, it is always a mustard to let others dress him. Looking at the delicate and lovely maids who "move their hands and feet" to their unclothed themselves, I always can't help but think about it, but I am still young, and I have more than enough strength to do it, this feeling is very uncomfortable. Although I enjoy this kind of treatment of being served, it is always much easier to do it myself.

After getting dressed, he took Miao Miao's already soaked towel and wiped his face, then took his toothbrush made of wolf hair and rubbed some salt to brush his teeth, and did a set of radio gymnastics, then opened his arms and waited for Miao Miao to put on his coat.

As a maid ordered by the young master, she has long been surprised by Li Xiao's blind behavior in the morning, and she will cover her mouth and laugh every time she sees it.

In Li Xiao's eyes, Miao Miao's action of covering her mouth is a little cute, if it is placed in ordinary people's homes, it should also be the young lady who is loved by those young masters, but it is a pity that fate plays tricks. Thinking about it, Li Xiao inadvertently stroked Miao Miao's long and soft hair.

Li Xiao didn't seem to realize what effect his actions would have on a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. For Miao Miao, she is the young master's maid, if the young master needs it, she can become a companion maid at any time, but the young master just touches his head every time, and there is no next move, it should be that the young master doesn't like himself.

Although he thought so, he still put on Li Xiao's coat with a red face, lowered his head, and said in a voice that could only be heard by mosquitoes, "Young master, it's ready." ”

Miao Miao is a girl who is easy to be shy, and Li Xiao already knows that even so, every time she sees her, she will always bully her, this little girl who has never been in the world has the innocence that he envies. "Miao Miao is a little different today, well, it's grease powder. It's not Sichun. ”

"Young master, you are bullying me again."

The shy little girl with her head down always has a charm that men can't resist, Li Xiao smiled evilly and said, "Do you want a lot of masters to find you an in-law?" ”

"Young Master!" Miao Miao snorted lightly and looked at Li Xiao with big eyes, but when she saw the cheap smile on Li Xiao's face, she realized that the young master in front of her was joking with herself, and with a light "hum", she ran out of the house with a red face, and even forgot to take the washbasin she had just brought in.

The little girl's mind is always easy to guess, the maid Miao Miao's feelings for herself Li Xiao is not unaware, and the idea of putting her in the room is not unprecedented, but I don't know why, he always has a sense of isolation from this world, it should be that he does not belong to this world, so that the world has rejected himself.

Shaking his head helplessly, the car has its own road in front of the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Take one step at a time, at least for now, the world can't suddenly kick itself out. tidied up some messy clothes and was about to go out, but found that the maid Miao Miao was hiding by the door, revealing a small head to look at herself.

"Young master, the young lady said don't run around today, let you stay in the mansion." The little maid grimaced, and turned to run away, but after running two steps, she remembered that she still had something to take, and ran back to the room quickly, and staggered away with the basin that was not too full.

Looking at the little girl who had already run away, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing, the cuteness of the girl who didn't know the world always made people feel inexplicably comfortable, took the pear on the table casually, hummed an out-of-tune ballad, and went out.

As the birthday of the three major days of Chu Mansion, the servants of Chu Mansion got up early and prepared everything neatly under the leadership of Chu Xin'er. The lamps hanging in the corridor are brand new, or the Jiangnan lighting newly produced by their own Zhuangzi. The path in the house was spotless, and the leaves falling from the trees were steadily picked up by the people before they landed.

The fish in the small pond on the side came out of the water early, as if they were cheering and celebrating, and the gulls and birds that flew from the sea in the early morning had been fed by the people, and they left satisfied, leaving without forgetting to leave the residue, which made the busy people have a headache in the morning, but they still quickly packed up everything.

Walking to the front hall, seven or eight tables for banquets had already been prepared, and they were not equipped with long benches for people listening to books outside the door, but chairs made by Jingshi Mahogany.

The porcelain placed on the side for decoration has also been replaced by a new special model from Jingde kiln, which is engraved with a magpie coming to the door, and the birthday star is painted high...... The whole nine yards.

When Li Xiao arrived in the main hall, the maids were still placing loose food with broken mouths, and the subordinates were standing outside the door neatly dressed and waiting for the arrival of the visiting officials. And Chu Xin'er is dressing up in the room at the moment, since ancient times, women have loved beauty, and they are never satisfied, and Chu Xin'er is too.

Even though Li Xiao said thousands of times that her sister was as beautiful as a fairy, and she didn't need to be decorated with rouge and gouache, she was still tireless.

At this moment, Li Xiao is indeed idle and has nothing to do, no matter how big or small the work in the house is, it is not his turn to interfere. Casually made on the chair, knocking on some salty melon seeds, silently waiting for the passage of time.

And Miao Miao stood beside Li Xiao sensibly, with a ruddy face, peeling melon seeds one by one.

As early as just now, this underage girl was also molested by a group of sisters, each guessing that Miao Miao had been dressed for five years, why she hadn't been fortunate by the young master, if she was placed in another house, it was estimated that she would be accepted as a room maid when she was twelve years old.

"By the way, Miao Miao, you've been pampered for so long, and the young master hasn't been favored, shouldn't it be the young master." A girl snickered softly.

"I see, it's our little girl, who doesn't take the initiative." Another girl laughed.

The little girl was blushing by the sisters, to be honest, after following the young master for so long, the young master was just teasing herself, and she didn't mean anything like that, which made the adolescent girl can't help but think about it.

A few days ago, everyone was rumoring that the young master was taken by the eldest lady of Jingshi and was about to leave, the young lady of Jingshi should not look down on the maid in a small place, and she would definitely not allow herself to follow the young master, and the young master might also follow the young grandmother who had never met Don't think about it herself, Miao Miao couldn't help but feel heartache, and turned her head to look at Li Xiao. Who knew that this heartless young master was knocking on the melon seeds without a heart, his eyes were still looking at other maids, he threw the melon seeds on Li Xiao's face, and left with a "hum".

Li Xiao was also taken aback by the suddenly attacked melon seeds, originally he was just looking at the porcelain painted on the side of the birthday star, and the maid just happened to stand in front, thinking about the story of Fu Lushou, and was indulging in it, who knew that he was suddenly attacked by a handful of melon seeds.

Miao Miao on the side didn't know why she left, was she usually too good to them? Or is it because I haven't been telling a story lately? Shaking her head, the mind of a girl is not easy to guess, especially an adolescent girl.

"Alas, you girl, don't you go to the house for a day."

As for the little maid who just ran away, she is regretting it at this time, will her reckless behavior just now make the young master hate herself. Although she thought so, the stubborn little girl made up her mind to admit her mistake this time.

……

Chu Xin'er had been sitting in the room for a long time, and the lipstick in her hand hadn't moved for a long time. As one of the protagonists of the birthday banquet, Chu Xin'er couldn't be happy on this day's birthday. Looking at himself in the mirror, his face was a little haggard, faint dark circles appeared around his eyes unconsciously, and a light red acne appeared on the corner of his mouth at some point.

In the past two days, Chu Xin'er put herself in the affairs of preparing for the birthday banquet, trying not to think about the imminent departure of her younger brother who has taken care of her for many years, but every time in the dead of night, she still can't help but feel sad, and her brother is worried. My younger brother, who has been living in a greenhouse, doesn't know if he can adapt to the dangerous environment of Kyoshi.

When her father appeared, she thought that Li Xiao could dodge, who knows, her father can only drag on for a few days, and now that the days are passing day by day, her younger brother is also leaving, how can she not worry as an older sister.

She knew what Li Xiao's purpose was for this trip, but she couldn't do anything, and her brother couldn't do anything about it. It's like being at the mercy of others, step by step to complete the so-called plan in their mouths.

"Ugh."

Thinking about it, Chu Xin'er's brows couldn't help frowning again. Absent-minded, she didn't even hear the sound of Li Xiao entering the door.
