Maiden millet
"Miss, it's time to wake up and eat."
Millet nudged my arm, and the tingling sensation came from my arm, and I rubbed my eyes and woke up from a light sleep.
"Xiaomi, how long have I been asleep?"
Millet leaned over and neatly cleaned up the clutter, the hairpin on her head had been replaced by a simple and simple headband, and the light gray hairband hung on her shoulders and swayed with her movements.
"Not long, two or three hours."
I lifted the quilt from my body, got up and got out of bed, and the sudden chill under my feet made me shiver.
"Miss, it's cool underground, add some clothes."
I have to say,Xiaomi, this person is very good at observing words, and she was still tidying up the house just now, and she saw that I was only wearing a middle coat and hurriedly added a piece of clothing to me.
"Okay, you go clean up, I'll go down and take a walk, I've been lying down for too long."
I gathered the light pink jacket on my body, smiled mildly at Xiaomi, and slowly walked to the dresser that I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Miss......"
Xiaomi looked at me in front of the dresser worriedly, still holding the cloth in his hand to wipe the table, and his hands were red from the cold.
"Come here and wipe this dresser for me."
Still smiling, I looked back at the nervous Millet, and pointed my finger at the mirror in front of me with a layer of dust.
"Okay."
Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, walked over with a cloth, and meticulously wiped the dresser clean, and the mirror that was still gray just now quickly became clean and bright.
"Miss, you can sit down."
I looked at the clean-as-new dresser, reaching out and stroking the scarlet wooden table, my fingertips sliding over every inch of it, and a glimmer of warmth flashed in my eyes.
"Go get busy, I'll go to dinner with you when I'm ready."
"Mademoiselle is willing to go to dinner with Madame and them?"
I sat in front of the mirror with a smile, my palms covering the scabbed face, the redness and swelling looked like freshly grown flesh, and the dots of black on it looked more like a charcoal dumper.
During this period of time, Mu Fu has been asking someone to treat me, no matter what kind of thoughts the Ye family has, I can only rely on Mu Fu's power for the time being.
I opened the drawer, took out the gray snail Dai and rouge makeup powder, and drew a detailed picture for myself. Finally, he put the flower on the intact half of the face.
The skin on the face of the uninjured side is delicate, like a warm jade soft light, the cherry mouth is red without a point, delicate and beautiful, and a strand of hair on the cheeks gently brushes the face with the wind to add a bit of seductive style.
My lifeless eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, losing my purity and liveliness, and I winked at myself in the mirror, restraining all the resentment and dissatisfaction on my face, and there was a bit of naughtiness and mischievous in my eyes.
It's just that on the other side of the face, there is a child's teeth, and the former full head shows that it is now like artemisia grass, extremely boring, and the large black and red scabs under the eyes lead to the thin neck, making it difficult to look directly.
"Xiaomi, okay, find me a dress."
"I've already prepared it for Miss."
Xiaomi wiped her hands, took a set of pale green dresses from the side, helped me put on all the clothes one by one, and helped me cut my hair.
"Miss, look in the mirror."
The person in the mirror is wearing a pale green dress, the waist is not full of hand, if you don't look at the face, anyone will say that this woman is so beautiful that she is so stunner, and the moon is shy and shy of flowers. It's as if all good words can be used on me.
"Well, we can go."
A faint scent of sandalwood fills the side, and flecks of sunlight shine in the hollowed-out carved windows. I looked up at the sandalwood scented screen, and sometime someone had replaced it.
Xiaomi looked at me and said something wrong, and said, "This is something that Madame sent to bring it, saying that Miss's screen is too old and it's time to replace it with a new one."
I nodded, my eyes still looking straight at the new screen, and from time to time there was a burst of rosewood wafting from the tip of my nose, and the scenery above was quiet and beautiful. Delicate carving, rare wood.
"Miss, are we going to dinner?"
I took a deep breath and took my eyes off the screen: "Go, let's go."
When you open the door, you can see a beautiful scene, rockeries, and the thin layer of snowflakes on the ground, bright and dazzling. From time to time, little maids passed through the courtyard, but the footsteps were very soft, and the sound of conversation was also very soft.
"When did so many maids come to the house?"
Xiaomi looked at the little maids coming and going in the yard, her eyes dodged, and she didn't speak for a long time.
I felt a cold cry in my heart, I thought it was a powerful character, Ye's person was too stupid, since it was eyeliner, how could I find a sensitive little girl.
"Could it be that there are more refugees in the city? Mother will all be taken back to the house? ”
"Yes, yes, in recent days, it has snowed frequently, and many people have frozen to death and starved to death, leaving only these children who are lonely. The lady saw that they were really pitiful, so she took them back and became an outroom maid......"
Millet was worried about how to answer, and then I said a lot of words, but my voice became more and more unconfident.
"Let's go, I'm hungry."
I don't want to hear Xiaomi say these flawed words anymore, after all, the future drama will continue to be done, and it is not good to continue to notice it so quickly.
I took Millet through the courtyard of me and Murong, passed the path in the back garden, and walked into the hall where I had been separated for a long time.
Ye Shi and Murong, who were eating, raised their heads when they heard the footsteps, but when they saw me, they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.
"The rules in our house are really different from other people's families, and generally the ladies of large families eat in their own rooms except for festivals."
Millet pulled out a chair for me to sit down, and while I was talking, I took off my thin jacket outside, put it on Millet's arm, sat down and continued to talk.
"But my father is different from other families, he has let us eat together since we were young, which is very warm."
I deliberately bit the word father very hard, and after speaking, I picked up the seaweed egg drop soup served by millet, and drank it in small sips.
Ye put down the spoon, wiped the corners of his mouth and said to the person on the side, "Aunt Liu, help me go back."
"Ma'am, put on your jacket."
Aunt Liu draped the sky-blue clothes in her hand over Ye's body and supported Ye's hand with her arm.
"What? I'm leaving? Did you see me panicking? ”
I opened my mouth lightly and drank another sip of hot soup, which ran down my throat and into my stomach, and my body warmed up after such a bowl of soup.
"Look at what you said, my mother finished eating, of course she has to go back."
Ye didn't speak, but her baby daughter Murong interjected and came in.
"Did I ask you?"
Murong didn't expect that I would come back directly, and for a while I didn't scold me, I didn't scold me, and I didn't know where to put the chopsticks in my hand.
Murong glared at me, the food scraps still hanging from the corners of his mouth. After a stalemate for a while, Ye finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Aunt Liu, I'm done, help me go back."
"Huh."
Hearing that they were leaving, I turned around and called out to them: "Aunt Liu, which doctor came to treat me today?"
The footsteps of the two people in front of them stopped, and Aunt Liu seemed to be talking to Ye, and her lips kept moving up and down.
"Miss, see which doctor is free today, and when the time comes, I will naturally come to see a doctor for you."
While they were talking, Millet dressed me, and I walked leisurely to them.
"Okay, then I'll bother Aunt Liu to go and greet her, this millet is still young after all."
"Miss, don't worry, the old slave will wait at the door after sending Madame back."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
From beginning to end, Ye didn't say a word, and Xiaomi was even more stingy to the point that he didn't have a look, just quietly waiting for us to finish speaking.
On the way back, I didn't say a word, and I kept thinking about Xiaomi's behavior on weekdays, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Xiaomi, have you been with me for so long, do you have any grievances against me?"
Xiaomi, who was in the back of the hairband, suddenly heard me calling her, her face turned white with a brush, and she was about to kneel down as soon as her knees were weak.
Seeing this, I immediately reached out and put my arm around her, which made her stand up.
"Why do you want to kneel?"
"Miss, I'...... I don't dare to have ...... I have no opinion."
Millet spoke intermittently, tears swirling in her eyes, and a crystal teardrop slipped down the corner of her eye and dripped onto my hand.
"I'm just asking, you don't have to be so scared."
Millet pulled her arm out of my hand, lifted the back of her red and rough hand to wipe her tears, and watched me sob.
"Miss, I have no opinion, Miss is very good."
I raised my hand and rubbed her head, rubbing the hair on the top of her head into a mess, and just as I was about to turn back, I saw the red underneath Millet's hair.
"Let's go, we're going back, you haven't eaten yet."
As I spoke, I quietly rubbed her hair a few more times, and a clear red birthmark under my finger came into my eyes.
"Hmm."
I cleared the doubt from my eyes and walked back to my room with her. This millet doesn't seem to be that millet, to be precise, not the first millet.
I sat on the bed, looking at the millet swallowing on the side, my eyes were full of puzzlement, it is indeed the same face, the same height, everywhere is the same, why is there a red birthmark on the head of this millet in front of me?
I couldn't figure it out, I didn't know what was going on, I remembered the first time I saw Xiaomi, there was no birthmark on her head, and compared to the current one, a huge mystery filled my mind.
There was a long bell in the distance, and it was time for the monks in the monastery not far away, and it was time to go to bed at noon. I pounded my aching legs, stopped thinking about it, took off my shoes and lay down on the bed.
"Xiaomi, I'll sleep a little longer, remember to wake me up in an hour."
"Okay."
I lay quietly with my eyes closed, in the past half a month, I have been courting Aunt Liu from time to time, but today it seems that this Aunt Liu is not so easy to woo.
Most of the injuries on my body were scabbed, and the wounds were often itchy for bouts, and the doctor told me that this was healing, and told me not to touch those scabs, I could only listen to what the doctor said.
All sorts of complicated things came to my mind, and I raised my hand to rub my temples, but the door creaked.
