55. House arrest

Pan'er listened to Jutang and took the Ningshen Pill, and trotted all the way to the Moon Pavilion, but when she found Yuxingtai, she saw Ping'er sitting downstairs alone, and asked in surprise: "Sister Ping'er, why are you here?" What about the girl? Why weren't you by her side? ā€

Ping'er pointed upwards with her hand, and said helplessly: "Miss Wantang said that she would only invite the girl to drink tea here, and let me wait below, but it seems that they should still be talking." The words that floated down from upstairs from time to time made Ping'er confirm that Zhuo Xi was still safe at the moment.

Pan'er looked up for a while, and couldn't see anything except the little light, but Wan Tang's high and low voice made her feel worried, why did this Wan Tang girl invite the girl to taste tea, and she was not allowed to bring her own maid?

"My sister is young and ignorant, and she doesn't understand what my sister says." Zhuo Xi still looked at Wan Tang lightly, Wan Tang's excitement just now didn't have much impact on her, "But my sister knows how to compare hearts to hearts, if you treat each other sincerely, the other party will naturally perceive it." If there is an accident, it is also possible that both parties have changed, to know the reason, see if others also think more about themselves! ā€

"Oh, what does my sister mean by this, sister, that I was wrong?" No one has ever dared to educate Wan Tang like this, Mr. Hongan only cares about whether she is safe, Mrs. Fengqi only cares about her dancing skills, Lan Yang, who used to care about her the most, has been indifferent a lot recently, listening to a little girl teach herself like this, Wan Tang is so beautiful that she can't wait to eat Zhuo Xi!

"No, my sister misunderstood. As the old saying goes, 'A gentleman should be a man in three provinces a day', even though we are women, we must always reflect on ourselves and examine ourselves..."When she said this, Zhuo Xi thought of her father, because these were taught to her by her father.

"Oh, listening to my sister's words feels like listening to the teachings of Mr. Teaching, Sven has it but it's not practical, hehe..."Wan Tang smiled contemptuously.

Seeing what Zhuo Xi was going to say, Wan Tang directly interrupted her: "Sister is out of shape today, don't be surprised sister, it's not early, isn't my sister still having dinner?" My sister went to see how the preparations were going, and my sister tasted tea first and waited for a while. If my sister feels lonely, there are some books there that can be used to relieve boredom. These are all written by Lanyang's brother for dance rehearsals, but I don't know if my sister can see it..."As she spoke, she got up and walked out, she didn't want to leave a chance for Zhuo Xi, who was sharp-toothed, to refute her, if she was asked to say anything to embarrass herself, it would be difficult to ensure that she couldn't control herself and would get angry!

Hearing the footsteps downstairs, Ping'er and Pan'er hurriedly got up and looked up, and waited for a while, but only to see Eru carrying a lantern, followed by Wantang coming down alone. Pan'er hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Miss Wantang, where is my girl?" Why didn't you see her come down? ā€

Wan Tang didn't seem to see them, and walked straight over, and Pan'er was about to chase after them, but was stopped by Eru.

"Sister Pan'er, go back first, your girl will live here tonight." Eru said cautiously.

"What? That's where the girl lives tonight? How does this work? The two maids' eyes widened in surprise.

"Eru, what's wrong? Didn't you say that you would come for tea? Why did you drink and drink and leave it behind? "Pan'er has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and if she doesn't let her go, she has to ask for an understanding.

"Sister Pan'er, it's really okay, it's just that my girl still wants to keep Miss Zhuo Xi for dinner, I'm afraid that it's too late and it's not safe, so I let Miss Zhuo Xi stay here, and Miss Zhuo Xi also likes it here..."

"No, I need to meet the girl and ask if that's the case!" Pan'er said, lifting her dress and going upstairs.

"Bold! Is my Moon Pavilion a lowly maid of yours who can break through if you want to? Let you go back, you will go back, what are you rubbing? If you have anything to worry about, go back and report to Mr. Hongan! Wan Tang saw Eru and Pan'er pulling each other, so he shouted loudly.

After all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, even if Ping'er and Pan'er are unwilling, they are helpless, and they can't afford the consequences of the following crimes. In the end, with tears in their eyes, the two maids left the Moon Pavilion helplessly and unbearably, and when they left, Pan'er quietly stuffed the box of Ning Shen Pill into Eru's hand and entrusted her to hand it over to Zhuo Xi.

Looking at the backs of the two maids walking away, Wan Tang asked Eru: "If I encounter a similar situation one day, what will you do?" ā€

Eru was still secretly thinking about whether she should give the Ning Shen Pill to Zhuo Xi, and suddenly heard Wan Tang asking, and she was flustered for a while, but she didn't know how to answer, and opened her mouth, "I... I—" I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wan Tang's face sank, and he snorted and said, "Okay, you don't have to think about it, I know!" ā€

Ah~ This is offending the girl, Eru was shocked, and scolded Pan'er in her heart for harming people. "Girl, no, no..."Eru caught up with Wan Tang to explain.

"Isn't it? Let's get ready for dinner! If this Zhuo Xi girl is starved, and her two maids come to the door to settle accounts with me, I can't afford to mess with her! Wan Tang sneered at Eru, Eru's face was red and white, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Wan Tang shouted again, and E ran away as if she had just woken up from a dream this time. "What a useless thing! When you take the reward, you will only smile, and you can't help at all if you really have something! Wan Tang scolded angrily.

Watching Eru turn the corner, she heard the dull sound of something striking, followed by the sound of items falling to the ground and shattering, and then a timid voice came: "Huh? It's Eru's eldest sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's a slave..."Before the words were finished, I heard two sounds of "pop, pop", and then Eru's angry voice: "What are you doing with long eyes?" You can't be careful! ā€

Wan Tang E frowned and looked in the direction of the corner, these subordinates are really not worry-free! Jiao shouted: "Eru, what's the matter?" ā€

Soon Eru came over with a bowed maid, saw Wan Tang and said, "This girl is too short-sighted..."

Wan Tang took a closer look and recognized the stupid girl who was cleaning his room and hit the wall, and then sneered and said: "It's really not long-eyed..."

The two troubled maids left, and Wan Tang began to think about the current matter. What's so special about this Zhuo Xi? Brother Lanyang can be with her all day long, Mr. Hongan still wants to take her as an apprentice, even Aunt Wuyi praises her, and these maids are so attentive to her, it seems that I really have to keep her for a few more days, and take a good look at what she is capable of... Doesn't it mean that she is very smart? Then I'll try her, yes, that's all... Wan Tang pondered as he slowly walked back.

After waiting for a long time, Wan Tang still didn't return, and the tea slowly cooled down, leaving only a little residual temperature. Zhuo Xi was a little bored for a while, I really don't know when this meeting will end? The flame of the oil lamp was also much smaller, Zhuo Xi picked up a silver needle and picked it, and the whole room lit up a lot in an instant, and the flame like a bean jumped rapidly.

"The lantern is jumping, it must be that the relatives are missing you," this is what the mother said, "this lantern is jumping so much, there must be someone who is thinking about me very eagerly." Zhuo Xi stared at the jumping and flickering lights and said to himself with a smile, Who is thinking about me?

Parents? Definitely, yes, they must have been thinking about me all the time, as much as I thought about them. Will Sister Yuzhen miss me? Probably not, although it was short-lived, I saw it last night, at least now it's not so concerned. Brother Lanyang? Please, don't think about me, just because of you, Wantang regards me as an enemy! However, if you think about it carefully, is Brother Lanyang really like they say, treating me differently from others? No, Brother Lanyang treats everyone very gently, and treats me the same as Brother Fengchao, they all treat me as a sister, what difference can there be? Zhuo Xi really couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Who else? By the way, Ping'er and Pan'er must be worried about me too, silly girl, Wantang is not so scary, I'm fine. These two girls must still be waiting for me down there, and I should go see them.

Zhuo Xi was about to get up, but saw Eru walking in with a tray with a maid. Eru saluted Zhuo Xi and said: "Miss Zhuo Xi, this is a dinner for you, because I don't know what your taste is, I will make it lighter, if you feel that it is not palatable, you can just order." With that, the two of them put the dishes aside.

A plate of sauced meat, a plate of fried cabbage, a plate of cold vegetables, a bowl of clear soup, two steamed buns, seeing the maid handing over a pair of chopsticks, Zhuo Xi couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Miss Wantang come?" ā€

Eru smiled and replied: "The girl will use it first, my girl is a little tired, so I won't accompany the girl, and please don't be weird." ā€

What is the truth of this, how can the host not show up when there is a treat? Zhuo Xi realized that Wan Tang invited her to come, but it was not just a matter of drinking tea and eating.

"This is Rui'er, she will serve the girl tonight, if you have any needs, just ask!" After speaking, Eru was ready to go out.

What does that mean exactly? The master didn't show up, and he arranged a maid for me temporarily, isn't this a trick? Which one is this Wan Tang singing?!

"Wait, what's your girl's intention? What about Ping'er and Pan'er? Zhuo Xi was a little annoyed.

"What can it do?" Eru said ill-intentionedly, "It's not too early for the girl to finish dinner, my girl is afraid that it will not be safe for you to go back, so I arranged for the girl to stay here tonight, and Ping'er and Pan'er let them go back first." Eru changed her respectful and obedient attitude just now, and became cold and tough.

"I didn't promise to stay here, I'll leave now!" Zhuo Xi held back his anger, stood up and walked out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, two strong figures flashed out to block Zhuo Xi's way, this should be Wantang's courtyard, and he was blocking the door with a wooden stick at this time. Eru snorted coldly in the back and said: "My girl ordered, Miss Zhuo Xi must stay here tonight, otherwise it will be spread out, but it will be said that we are not good at treating guests in the Moon Pavilion!" ā€

"You... This is house arrest! Zhuo Xi was furious, turned around and yelled at Eru, "What qualifications do you have to lock me up here, Wantang is so nonsense, aren't you afraid of Mr. Hong'an's punishment?" "This must be Wan Tang's idea, forgive her, no matter how bold a maid is, she doesn't dare to do anything to the girl!

tricked her into drinking tea, sent her maid away, and now she is going to be placed under house arrest here, even if Mr. Hongan protects her again, it is impossible to let her do anything wrong!

Eru sneered: "The girl may not know, Mr. Hongan is the uncle of Miss Wantang, and he has always loved and cared for my girl, and he will never accuse her even if it is a big thing; As for Lord Lanyang, as long as my girl is happy, he won't care about anything! ā€

Looking at Eru's indifferent and smug face, Zhuo Xi's heart actually rose with a sense of dƩjƠ vu, but now is not the time to think about this, you have to go back first.

But just when Zhuo Xi was stunned, Eru left a sentence: "The girl can live here with peace of mind, and she can't treat you with food and clothing." Then he dodged out the door.
