Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Serendipitous Encounter on the Night Road

ran out on impulse, but it's already the second watch, and the people in the house have already rested so late, what's the use of coming out by yourself?

Gu Yue wrung her eyebrows and walked around the willow mansion, annoyed that she ran out without thinking clearly, not only could she not find the news of the stars, but she might also be scolded by Liu Hanxue.

"Boom, la......" A small rustling sound attracted Gu Yue's attention, she looked vigilantly at the low bushes and magnolia trees scattered on both sides of the road, and looked very nervous in the dark, "Who!"

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one came out, Gu Yue was uneasy and asked in a low voice: "Who is it, if you don't come out again, beware of me calling someone!" If there is really someone, most of them leave the hospital in the middle of the night like her, unless there is really no one or that person is bold, otherwise they will come out in fright.

Sure enough, before she finished speaking, a figure shrank and timidly walked out from behind the tree on the side of the road and appeared, "Sister, don't call someone, I, I'm out." ”

Gu Yue looked up and down at the person standing in front of her, although she couldn't see it clearly in the night, she could also know that it was a face. Gu Yue was even more vigilant, so she asked her, "Who are you, which yard, and what are you doing here on this big night?"

Hua Mian has never left in the Musheng Pavilion since she was a child, and tonight she couldn't wait to go to Qingfeng Yuan to tell Ming Yuelan by herself, but she got lost in this Liufu and accidentally bumped into Gu Yue. She looked at Gu Yue carefully, and saw that the other party was wearing the clothes of a first-class maid in Liufu, and thought that Gu Yue was either Ming Yuelan's or Liu Hanxue's personal maid, so she replied respectfully: "Sister Hui, the slave maid is a new first-class maid in the second girl's courtyard, called Huamian." ”

"In the second girl's courtyard?" Gu Yue obviously didn't believe it, "When did the little lady point out the maid to the second girl? ”

Hua Mian explained: "No wonder this sister doesn't know, I was originally a little girl in Musheng Pavilion. Since the second girl came to Musheng Pavilion a few days ago, thanks to the love of the second girl, I asked the eldest young master to ask me over, and I became a first-class maid by the second girl's side. ”

"Is this serious?" said Gu Yue in disbelief.

Hua Mian smiled: "Sister doesn't believe it, you can go to Musheng Pavilion to ask." ”

"Well, I don't have that much time to spare. Gu Yue continued to interrogate: "Why don't you stay in Musheng Pavilion well, what are you doing sneakily here at night?"

Hua Mian still asked: "Sister, I don't know where you are from?"

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I am the first-class maid next to the third girl, Gu Yue." ”

"It turns out that my sister is next to the third girl. Hua Mian listened and said happily: "That's great, I'm worried that I can't find someone to show me the way!"

"Where are you going?" asked Lone Yue.

"I'm going to Qingfeng Garden, please ask my sister to show me the way. Hua Mian said.

Hearing this, Gu Yue suddenly understood a little bit in her heart. She looked casually to the side, then pointed forward disdainfully, "You follow this road to the end, then turn left and walk to the intersection, and then go right until you reach Qingfeng Yuan." ”

Listening to Gu Yue's series of words, Hua Mian's face was embarrassed, "It's so far, Sister Gu Yue, or ...... Or will you show me the way?"

"If you don't know the way, you should wait obediently and wait for someone to find you, but you have to come out to find your guilt. Gu Yue didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Mingyue Lan and Liu Zhilan, but looking at the current situation, if she didn't agree, she was afraid that this little girl would pestered her for a long time, so she walked ahead to lead the way for Hua Mian.

Hua Mian heard Gu Yue secretly sarcastically mocking herself for selling out for glory, although she was not happy in her heart, she could only smile and thank: "Thank you sister for helping me lead the way." Instead, she asked curiously, "By the way, it's so late, why is Sister Guyue here?"

Gu Yue's footsteps paused slightly, and then said as usual: "I was also going to Qingfeng Garden." ”

"Such a coincidence?" Hua Mian smiled and stepped forward to parallel to Gu Yue, "My sister and I are really fated!

"Naturally, it's for the sake of the three girls. Gu Yue deliberately covered up her words, and sure enough, she heard Hua Mian say in embarrassment: "Oh, it's me who is stupid, my sister goes to Qingfeng Garden, naturally it can only be for the third girl." ”

"Still, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, you are also half of Qingfeng Yuan, Qingfeng Yuan and Jingxue Yuan are inseparable. Gu Yue's words made Hua Mian's heart feel comfortable, so she took the opportunity to ask: "In addition to me, the third girl has a personal maid named Fanxing, Fanxing escaped from the house two days ago, and the third girl took me to Qingfeng Yuan to ask Fanxing's whereabouts." ”

"Flee from the house!" Hua Mian covered her mouth in surprise, "This star is so bold! Aren't you afraid of being caught and beaten to death?"

Gu Yue's hands hanging on her sides were clenched into fists in her sleeves, and her words were full of pain and incomprehension, "I eat and live with the stars, and I don't know what kind of bear's heart and leopard gall she ate, and she did such a wrong thing to betray the Lord!"

"Sister, don't be sad," Hua Mian pretended to comfort: "As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, even if they are under the same roof, who can say that they can see through other people's minds?"

"You're right. Gu Yue wiped away her tears and asked suspiciously: "But listening to your tone, you haven't heard of this matter in the past two days?"

Hua Mian said shyly: "Sister doesn't know, Musheng Pavilion is really remote, and people want to get out of the courtyard on weekdays, and they can't do it without the instructions of the young master." Even the second girl's return to the house a month ago was only known after the second girl arrived at Musheng Pavilion, and we naturally didn't know about the escape of this person. ”

Gu Yue pondered: "I'm sorry for you. "I thought that this flower sleep was Liu Zhilan's personal maid and should be able to know something about the stars, but I still miscalculated.

"It's not hard, it's not hard," Hua Mian said: "It's too hard, and the sweetness will be sweeter in the future." ”

Hearing these meaningful words, Gu Yue was noncommittal. It happened that the two of them walked to the boundary of Qingfeng Yuan again, and Gu Yue said, "We have arrived." ”

Hua Mian smiled: "Thank you, sister, I don't know when I will find it myself." It's just that I'm an eye-catcher, and if I want to go in, my sister needs to help me again. ”

"Just follow me. Gu Yue said, took a few steps forward and pulled the copper ring on the door and knocked a few times.

"It's so late, who?" Guyue asked, impatiently from inside the closed door.

Gu Yue said in a low voice: "It's me, Gu Yue." ”

"Oh, it's Sister Lone Moon. Gu Yue reported to the door, and the people inside spoke kindly, "Sister Gu Yue, it's so late, Xiao Niang has rested early, what's the matter, can we talk about it tomorrow?"

"No, I finally got out of the way. After tonight, who knows when the next time will be!" Hearing the people inside, Hua Mian suddenly became anxious. She didn't know the way and had to come out by herself, just so that she could report Liu Zhilan's handle to Ming Yuelan by herself, so that Ming Yuelan could remember herself. Now that they are all at the gate of Qingfeng Garden, how can she give up so easily?

"Sister Guyue, who else is beside you?" asked the little guy inside.

Gu Yue glared at Hua Mian and replied, "Don't be nervous, this one next to me is a person from the second girl's courtyard." Please go in and report it, and say that the second girl and the people in the third girl's courtyard have something important to find the little girl. ”

"But ......" The person in the room hesitated, and Gu Yue said: "You just have to report it, if you delay the affairs of the two girls, be careful that the girls will trouble you." ”

"But the little lady has already stopped...... "The little guy guarding the door still didn't dare to report, so Gu Yue made a big announcement, "If you don't report, don't say that the little lady has suffered a lot recently because of the second girl, and the second girl wants to treat you as a subordinate, so it's not a problem." And even if the second girl doesn't pursue it, you know the temperament of our third girl, be careful that she will punish you to the fullest!"

"Oh, the punishment of the third girl can't stand it! The little one went to Aunt Bird's Tongue first, asked her to report to the little girl, and asked the two sisters to wait for a while. The little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed.

"Let's go. Gu Yue listened to the sound of the little girl walking farther and farther away, and said to Hua Mian: "You and I should be patient and wait." ”

Hua Mian nodded with her heart, and after a moment of silence, she asked again: "Sister Guyue, is the punishment of the third girl really so uncomfortable?"

"Which master's punishment is not uncomfortable?" Gu Yue didn't want to say more about this, so she changed the topic and said, "We don't know how long we have to wait here, why don't you tell me, what tricks did you catch the second girl?"

"This ......" Hua Mian said perfunctorily: "It's not a matter of worry, I'm just afraid that my sister will think I'm making a big fuss when I hear it." ”

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that I will steal credit with you?" Don't worry, I can't stand in your way." You want to invite pets to the little girl, and I want to show more in front of the three girls, you and I actually don't make the river water. ”

Hua Mian's heart was a little relaxed, and Gu Yue said again: "You and I help each other, I have won the reward of the three girls, you will enter Qingfeng Garden in the future, and I am familiar with Aunt Yunwu and Aunt Bird's Tongue beside Xiao Niang, when the time comes, I will help you say some good things to them, maybe your status in this garden can be further improved?"

Gu Yue looked at Hua Mian's appearance that couldn't resist the temptation and was very entangled, and despised Hua Mian in her heart for being in the Musheng Pavilion, and the door was not closed, and the news was closed and there was no real trickery, how could she be able to withstand her such a coax, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Anyway, I have won the trust of the three girls, and I don't need to put gold on myself. ”

Seeing that Gu Yue really looked unconcerned, Hua Mian thought about it carefully, she couldn't just point to Qingfeng Yuan, a way out, the cunning rabbit three caves, she couldn't hang herself on a tree. After figuring it out, she said to Gu Yue: "Sister Gu Yue, what are you talking about? If Sister Gu Yue gets the reward of the third girl, then I am also very happy for my sister." ”

Gu Yue smiled and became, "Don't worry, you and I are mutually beneficial, I won't forget your benefits." As she spoke, she took out two or three pieces of broken silver from her sleeve and put them on Hua Mian's hand.

Hua Mian grew up in Musheng Pavilion since she was a child, and she had never seen anything good, let alone been rewarded. Seeing Yinzi at this moment, he was even more sure that he would not suffer a loss if he was friendly with Gu Yue, and immediately smiled flattering at Gu Yue: "My sister is so generous, I won't let my sister suffer." My sister came with her ear, and I told her what I knew. ”

Lone Moon whispered to her, and Hua Mian told her everything she saw during the day. After Hua Mian finished speaking, Gu Yue was shocked, "How is this possible!"

Hua Mian smiled and whispered: "Sister, how is this impossible? If it weren't for personal feelings, how could King Yi Yi be so good to the second girl? Although I don't know anything in Mu Sheng Pavilion, I also know that King Yi Yi never touches women." ”

The shock on Gu Yue's face did not fade, if this matter was poked out, the Liufu Mansion and even the emperor would make a big mess again! She just wanted to wait for Liu Hanxue to know the news of her leaving the garden without permission tomorrow, she would use Liu Zhilan's handle to block the disaster, but this handle was too big, if she reported such an ugly thing to Liu Hanxue, according to Liu Hanxue's temperament, she would definitely tell Liu Zhengqian directly. At that time, Liu Zhengqian knew that she told Liu Hanxue about this, so no matter whether this thing was true or not, she would definitely lose her life! No, she must rot in her stomach no matter what!

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Hua Mian saw that Gu Yue was stunned and gently pushed her, Gu Yue came back to her senses by this push, and hurriedly said to Hua Mian: "Thank you for telling me this, if you can go to Qingfeng Yuan in the future, I will help you rise to the top rank!"

"Then Huamian will thank my sister in advance. Hua Mian saluted Gu Yue, and Gu Yue's stiff smile couldn't be seen clearly in the night. This flower sleep is also a good skill, and it can find out such a big secret as the willow branch orchid, it seems that this willow mansion will be lively again after a while. But none of this has anything to do with her, she just wants to know the whereabouts of the stars.

"Squeak-" The two of them finished speaking, and the door behind them slowly opened. They turned to look behind them, and saw the finch carrying the lantern with a sleepy face, and said, "Come with me." ”

"There's Aunt Lao Tongue. Gu Yue pulled Hua Mian and saluted the Tongue, and then followed the Tongue and walked in.

When they entered, the two gatekeepers closed the door again, as if no one had come.
