Xiao Cui immediately raised her head when she heard this, a trace of panic appeared on her face, she didn't expect that she would be heard in such a whisper, she quickly shook her head, "It's nothing, you heard it wrong, I didn't say Sister Wan'er!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran out with his basin and face towel.

A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence! Meng Xiaoran hooked her lips slightly, knowing that this Wan'er must have lived in this bed once, but she didn't know what happened to her, so that this Xiaocui could be so secretive?

When Xiaocui came back, she had an extra toiletry in her hand, and she put it on the table, "Sister Ruhua, this is the toiletry that Mother Li asked me to bring you, the northwest side of the courtyard is a clean room, you can go over there to bathe and wash, go early, otherwise there will be more people in a while, and the hot water will be gone." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Thank you, Xiaocui." She knew that the clean room in Xiaocui's mouth was like a modern public toilet, and it seemed that the life of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not very good, so she took out clean clothes, walked out with a basin, and found the clean room in the northwest.

After bathing, she washed the clothes she had changed and took them to the yard to dry, the cool breeze gusted in the autumn night, she held the empty basin in her hand, looked at the starry sky, the quiet autumn night, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how good would it be if everything was as beautiful and quiet as this night?

This night, Meng Xiaoran had a surprisingly good sleep, perhaps because she was tired for a day, in such a strange place, she slept very sweetly, and felt that someone was pushing her in her sleep, "Wake up, wake up, wake up...... In the fog, she seemed to have returned to the orphanage of her childhood, and the dean's mother came to call her to get up.

"Sister Ruhua, wake up, it's almost late!" Meng Xiaoran opened her eyes and saw Xiaocui standing by the bed, and when she saw that she woke up, she immediately stepped aside to clean herself up, "Sister Ruhua, get up quickly, if you go late, Mother Li will scold." ”

Meng Xiaoran reacted at this time, she is now a little maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she quickly got up and quickly changed into the clothes handed over to her by Li's mother yesterday, even the maids in the house are divided into three, six, nine and so on, like them, those who work in the big kitchen are the lowest, and they wear the simplest, blue cotton gown, plus a pair of wide-leg pants of the same color.

Quickly washed and cleaned up, followed Xiaocui almost to the back kitchen, at this time the sky was just bright, fortunately, she had been trained by Shen Qian's devil for half a year, she was already used to getting up early like this, otherwise it was really unbearable.

When I arrived at the big kitchen, I saw Li's mother standing at the door from a distance, her expression was very unhappy, and when she saw them, she blushed, "Why is it so late?" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Cui again, and said helplessly: "Xiao Cui, although I have some friendship with the Hu family, you can't be late every day, if it's late tomorrow, you will have to deduct your wages." ”

Xiaocui lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Meng Xiaoran looked at Li's mother and explained: "Mom, it's my fault, I slept late, and Xiaocui was late to wait for me." ”

Mother Li glared at her and snorted unhappily, "Go and do something!" ”

The two hurriedly ran in, Xiao Cui quietly squeezed her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and whispered: "Thank you, Sister Ruhua, I was also late today." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled, "I should thank you, if you hadn't called me up, I'm afraid I would have been punished today." ”

The two didn't speak anymore, and they both quickly got busy, but after this incident, Xiaocui treated her a lot better, Meng Xiaoran was still just as busy this day, and she didn't even have time to eat lunch, when she was free to eat, where was there anything left?

At this time, Xiaocui quietly ran over, stuffed the things she was holding in her arms into her hands, and whispered: "Sister Ruhua, I left you some food, you hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

Meng Xiaoran opened it and saw that it was two steamed buns that were still steaming, and she was a little moved, "Xiaocui, you left the buns for me, didn't you eat them yourself?" ”

Xiao Cui smiled and shook her head, "This is what my mother gave me, I'm afraid that I will be hungry in the afternoon, my mother cooks in the big kitchen, she has food there, I'm not afraid, so I'll give this bun to my sister." It turned out that Xiaocui's mother was the chef of this big kitchen, and everyone called her Aunt Hu.

At this time, Xiaocui handed over a kettle again, "This is my kettle, you can drink some water, the hot water I just poured out." ”

Eating hot buns and drinking boiling hot water, a warm current suddenly poured into his heart, Meng Xiaoran smiled at Xiaocui, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Cui looked around and whispered to her: "You just came, so they all bullied you, you can please Mother Li more, and it will be much better after a while." After speaking, he looked at Meng Xiaoran's excessively beautiful face, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong, Emily? If you have anything to say, just say it. Meng Xiaoran looked at her like that, and naturally knew that she had something to say, and felt a little funny in her heart, Xiaocui was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, if she was at such an age, she must still be studying, even if the girls here are precocious, but after all, she is a child, and her mind can't be hidden.

Xiao Cui hesitated for a long time, but finally looked at her and bit her lip, "You be careful......"

"What are you doing together!" A loud shout interrupted Xiao Cui's words, both of them were startled, and when they turned their heads, Mother Li was standing not far away, frowning at them, "You two are still lazy here, why don't you hurry over and work!" ”

In the end, the two had to run back in disgrace, but Xiao Cui's words seemed to throw a stone in Meng Xiaoran's heart, she kept thinking, what did Xiao Cui want her to be careful?

Finally the day passed, and in the evening, Meng Xiaoran quickly washed his clothes after bathing, and then sat in the room and waited for Xiaocui, and after a while, he heard Xiaocui humming a little song from a distance, and walked in with an empty basin in his hand.

Seeing her put her things away, Meng Xiaoran asked, "Xiaocui, what do you want to tell me during the day?" What do you want me to be careful of? ”

Xiao Cui was cleaning up the bed, and when she heard her voice, she immediately stopped her movements, turned around and looked at her with some embarrassment, and for some reason began to hesitate again, Meng Xiaoran was even more suspicious, what kind of thing is it, Xiao Cui will be embarrassed like this?

"Don't worry, you told me, I won't say it." Meng Xiaoran assured her, and Xiao Cui looked at her again, as if she had made up her mind, looked around carefully, and then walked to her side.

"This room used to live in Sister Wan'er, just sleep in your bed, Sister Wan'er is very good-looking, some time ago she sent snacks to the young master of the table, but was asked a few more words by the young master of the table, and after the eldest lady knew, she was transferred to Ruxue Pavilion, I heard that I don't know what mistakes were made two days ago, and I was beaten by the eldest lady for twenty boards, and now I can't even get out of bed."
