Chapter Seventy-One: Fan Mansion
"Yo, isn't this Sanxiu," Mrs. Zhang floated to the woman in Tsing Yi and swept the woman's shoulder with a handkerchief, "Why are you free today to come to this pickled place?" ”
"Why did I come here, didn't Ku Xing just say it?" The woman in Tsing Yi replied expressionlessly.
"Oh! Looking for a maid, right? Mrs. Zhang spun around in place, her skirt fluttering, "There is a shortage of maids in the Fan Mansion, so you can send someone to our house to inform you, and we will send you a smart and clever one immediately, and you can't come to this kind of place in person." ”
The maid named Ku Xing said: "Where does our young lady want to go, and I still need you to do a lot of things?" ”
Mrs. Zhang's eyes showed a fierce light, and she raised her hand to hit Ku Xing: "You little hoof, the master speaks, when will it be your turn to interject?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi protected Ku Xing behind her, and her eyes glared coldly at Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang snorted unwillingly, twisted her waist and left. Master Zhang made a color to the family, signaled him to bring back the ugly ones he had just picked, and then went to chase Mrs. Zhang with a smile.
Du Heng's originally congested brain cooled down suddenly, and he looked carefully at the young lady at the door, only to realize that this young lady just looked a little similar to Mu Yu, but it was not really Mu Yu.
How can there be such a good thing in the world, you have not worked hard, and you have done it yourself? This Fan Mansion is really lucky, and he actually gave birth to a young lady as beautiful as Mu Yu.
Du Heng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
No, no one in the world can be as beautiful as Mu Yu. Muyu is Muyu, and no matter how similar others are, they are not Muyu.
Du Ruo walked to Du Heng's side, pointed at Sanxiu and stopped: "She ......"
Du Heng looked at Du Ruo and shook his head.
Du Ruo sighed and said, "I'll just say, that bottle is still hanging around your neck, how can Xiao Yuhua live." However, this young lady looks like Xiao Zhaohua......"
The woman in the Zhuangzi heard that Miss Fan was going to choose a maid, so she hurriedly pulled the man who was blocked in front to the back, rubbed the mud on her face again, and looked at Sanxiu with a spring on her face.
Ku Xing took a bite of the sugar gourd, looked left and right, shook his head while looking, and seemed to be dissatisfied.
Du Ruo was shrinking back, and Du Heng hurriedly pushed her forward when he saw this. Du Ruo was defenseless, and rushed forward coldly, almost falling on his heels.
Du ...... You want to die?! Du Ruo turned his head and glared at Du Heng viciously.
Before Du Heng could speak, he heard Sanxiu calling softly at the door: "That girl, please come over for a while." ”
Du Ruo's head shrank into his neck, turned around tremblingly, and said in a weak heart: "I...... Me? ”
Sanxiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's you." ”
Du Ruo passed through the jealous gazes of the women, walked up to Sanxiu stubbornly, and said, "Miss Fan, I am very stupid with my hands and feet, and I can only do some rough work, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you......"
As soon as she finished speaking, the women beside her began to whisper.
"Cutting, pretending to be garlic, it's a great blessing to be a maid for Miss Fan, she is still pretending to be here."
"That's right, you don't want to do it, naturally someone is willing to do it, don't pretend here, how clear and high-minded it is......"
Du Ruo pretended not to hear, she looked up into Sanxiu's eyes, her eyes were full of stubbornness and stubbornness.
Sanxiu saw Du Ruo's tough attitude, not only did he not get angry, but smiled. The smile rippled across her face, like a pool of wrinkled spring water, gentle and clear.
"It doesn't matter if you're stupid, as long as you're willing to learn, you'll do it well."
Du Ruo saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he secretly looked at Du Heng with a look for help, and found that Du Heng was nodding firmly at him. She sighed and said helplessly, "Okay then...... But be clear, if I make a mess somewhere, you are not allowed to scold me......"
"How could I scold you?" Sanxiu smiled pleasantly, "By the way, what's your name?" ”
Du Ruo raised his eyelids and said, "My name is Ajuan." ”
Ku Xing sneered and laughed out loud, and said, "Ajuan? That's a name that's too earthy, isn't it? ”
Du Ruo saw Ku Xing laughing at him, so he glared at Ku Xing viciously.
"Don't mess around!" Sanxiu stopped Ku Xing, and then looked at the sky thoughtfully, "Ajuan's name is indeed not very elegant, why don't I name you again?" ”
Sanxiu glanced at Ku Xing, and then said: "Her name is Ku Xing, then you will be called Sweet Peach!" ”
When Du Ruo heard this sweet name, he just wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Ku Xing to cry out dissatisfiedly.
"Miss! You are eccentric! Why did you name me 'bitter' apricots and 'sweet' peaches? Look at her puffy look, it's not sweet at all! ”
Du Ruo saw that the bitter apricots were sour, and said proudly: "Sweet peaches are sweet peaches, and I still love peaches!" ”
Sanxiu smiled slightly, bowed slightly to Master Fan, and turned to leave. Du Ruo walked up to Ku Xing, held her hand, bit off a hawthorn from the bamboo stick, and said, "Oh, it's so sour...... " After speaking, he followed Sanxiu.
Ku Xing was so angry that she stomped her foot and hurriedly chased after her.
When the people in Zhuangzi saw that the people who came to recruit workers had left, they sighed and dispersed.
Du Heng came to Master Fan's side and whispered: "Master Fan, my sister has let Miss Fan pick it up, look at my ......"
Master Fan looked at Du Heng with a smile and said, "Your sister was personally selected by Miss, she doesn't pick you, what can I do?" ”
Du Heng said: "Alas, Master Fan Zhuang is really good at laughing. Then Miss Fan picks a maid, and I am not a woman, how can she pick me? ”
"She doesn't pick you, just wait for others to pick you, with Brother Amu's cleverness, I'm afraid that I won't find a good job?" Master Fan looked at Du Heng slightly, "Or...... You don't dare to be alone outside, so you have to be with your sister? ”
Du Heng listened to Master Fan making fun of Du Ruo's words, and knew that Master Fan was just joking, and he didn't mean not to let himself enter Fan's mansion, so he thought of a logical reason and said: "Master Fan, you have also seen it, my sister has a big temper, and Miss Fan is a good person, if I don't keep an eye on it, I don't know what kind of mess my sister will cause." ”
Master Fan nodded slightly in agreement. He paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Amu, do you know how to plant flowers?" ”
"Planting flowers?"
Du Heng suddenly remembered the time when he went to plant flowers with his mother when he was a child. Although the landscaping of sweet jujube is taken care of by special disciples, the mother gives birth to ** flowers and always likes to fiddle with the flowers and plants of sweet jujube. Du Heng followed behind, although he didn't stretch out his hand, but in his eyes, he gradually understood a little bit about sowing, fertilizing, cuttings and other techniques.
"I can plant flowers!" Du Hengdui smiled and nodded frantically.
In this way, Du Heng was incorporated into the gardener team of Fanfu. During the day, they either follow the gardener to inspect the house where the landscaping is time to be repaired, or they go to the flower market to buy new plants. At night, I huddled with my subordinates to drink and play cards, and when I won money, I invited everyone to drink, and I didn't care if I lost money.
Du Heng originally only knew a little about fairy flowers and fairy grass, but when he saw the flowers and plants in the mortal world, he found that these things were much easier to serve than fairy grass, and he could rejuvenate the half-dead plants and trees with two strokes of his hand. In addition, Du Heng had a good relationship with other gardeners, and it didn't take long for Du Heng to be promoted to become the new gardener.
The only thing that was not very satisfactory to him was that due to the different fields in which the subordinates were in charge, Du Heng had not seen Du Ruo once since he entered the mansion for half a month, nor had he seen Miss Fan, nor did he know if Du Ruo's temper was against others.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and occasionally there will be a snow or two, and most of the cold-resistant flowers in Fanfu will freeze to death. Du Heng got the will of Master Fan and went to the flower market to buy some hardy pines and cypresses, camellias, etc.
Du Heng arrived at the flower market and went straight to the shop where he often bought flowers. I heard the shopkeeper greet him, and before he could enter the door, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"I've found you! I'm exhausted! ”
When Du Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Isn't this Arro?
Du Ruo was wearing a rose-red maid's clothes, with a hairpin on his head, his face was like a peach blossom, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was a lot fatter than when he first entered the house. When Du Heng saw it, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Laughing at what? Do you want to die? Du Ruo raised his hand to fight.
Du Heng smiled: "You are dressed like this, but you take advantage of your new name." I haven't seen you for a few days, but I look a lot more healthy. ”
"Alas, don't mention it, I eat too much every day...... Sanxiu eats the same as eating cat food, just eat a little bit at a meal! Du Ruo pinched his fingers together and raised them in front of Du Heng's eyes, "There are a lot of desserts and fruits, Sanxiu doesn't want to waste them, so he asks me to eat them with bitter apricots." I'm afraid of revealing flaws, and I'm wasted on cultivation every day......"
Du Heng's eyes were full of doting smiles, but he was faintly worried in his heart.
Life in Fan Mansion is indeed too comfortable for the two of us. Right now, my mana is gone, so Ah Ruo can still rely on hundreds of years of cultivation to survive. If she is also absurd in cultivation, wouldn't the revenge plan of the Wildfire War and the hope of resurrecting Mu Yu become more and more slim?
"Hey! What are you doing in a daze? Du Ruo raised his hand and shook it in front of Du Heng's eyes.
"Oh! It's nothing. Du Heng looked down and saw Du Ruo carrying a small basket, "I haven't asked you yet, what are you chasing me for?" ”
"Sanxiu asked me to buy flowers, and I said I don't know flowers, can I ask you to help, and she agreed. As a result, I chased you all the way in the house, and every time you just walked with your front foot, I arrived with my back foot. Finally they said you're in the flower market, and I chased you here. Du Ruo put the basket on his wrist and circled it.
"Buying flowers? What does she want to spend? ”
Du Ruo put down the basket, approached Du Heng, and whispered, "Have you ever noticed that Sanxiu has been wearing a pair of leather gloves on his hands?" ”
Du Heng nodded.
"I've heard that Sanxiu was cursed from birth, and all living creatures that she touches with her hands will die immediately!" Du Ruo impatiently pushed away Yingluo who was blocking in front of him, "What kind of curse, I don't think it's as evil as it is said outside, eighty percent is that Sanxiu has some power in her body that she will not control." ”
Du Heng said: "Strength? Isn't it really cursed? ”
Du Ruo shook his head and said, "If someone is cursed, there will be traces on the surface of the body." When I was waiting for Sanxiu to bathe, I didn't see anything on her. ”
Du Heng suddenly thought of Du Ruo's previous curse by Qu Jibai, and the dense black lines all over his body made Du Heng's scalp tingle until now.
"However, her kung fu only works on animals or people, and flowers and plants have no effect." Du Ruo lifted the basket again, "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, Master Fan is afraid that Sanxiu will be cold, and he doesn't want her to walk around outside more." She couldn't see the grass outside, and she felt gray, so I asked me to help her come out and buy some beautiful flowers. ”
Du Heng looked at the basket in Du Ruo's hand and said, "You came to buy flowers, what do you do with it?" ”
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, glared at his eyes and said, "Pretending to be a flower." ”
Du Heng lifted the corner of his forehead, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't you know, the flowers placed indoors are to be packed in flower pots?" ”
