Section 35 The old servant seeks his master
In the New Year of Nanguo Mansion, because Yao Jin's body is in good health, his spirit has returned to normal, everyone in the mansion is relieved, everyone's face is beaming, and even the atmosphere that has been tense for a long time in the back house is also a lot more relaxed. This day is still in the New Year's Festival, and the dumb maids who don't need to be on duty to serve are fine, so they gathered under the corridor outside Yao Jin's house and chatted with gestures: His Royal Highness used two more pastries today than yesterday, and in the morning he was very interested in practicing the newly learned moves of Mrs. Xuan to them, Miss Lin described what beautiful tricks she depicted, and the dining room in the house made a hot pot that did not suit His Highness's wishes, and the red, red, black and black pot was very scary- Although the dumb maids couldn't speak, they chatted very happily in sign language, but at this time, Zhao Xing, the housekeeper in the house, hurriedly came to the porch with a frown, and his stubby fingers were slightly compared, and a dumb maid hurriedly went to the house to invite Lin Yuebai out.
"Steward Zhao," Lin Yue walked out in a pale red dress, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and said with a smile: "I was about to bother you to go out for a run." His Royal Highness still wants to eat hot pot, the ingredients bought in the dining room a few times ago are about wrong, today His Royal Highness personally wrote a recipe, what is written on it, you have to go to buy it back, Your Highness can rest assured. β
"Yes, the old slave will go at a young age. It's just that there's one more thing here," Zhao Xing's chubby body bent over, carefully took out a purse from his sleeve cage and sent it to Lin Yuebai, and said softly: "Miss Lin, there are two girls with raw faces outside, named Ah Meng and Ah Yuan, I have to see you." Originally, His Royal Highness ordered that irrelevant people who wanted to see you were not allowed to come in and pass it on, but the two children of the old slave were really persistent, and they had a Beijing accent, and they kept saying that you were a girl born in the former mansion and grew up serving you since childhood, and said that they would come to see you no matter what. The old slaves looked pitiful, and did not dare to let them in, they gave this purse and said it was a token, you see. β
Zhao Xingyuan was the steward of Zhao Yu's mansion, who grew up serving the Zhao brothers, and later married his youngest daughter to Liu Xiaolong as a concubine, and the whole family also lived in the Zhao mansion. Liu Xiaolong's main room passed away last year, and the elders of the Liu family wanted to renew the main room for him, but Yao Jin knew that Liu Xiaolong had always loved this side room, although his background was not high, he had a very good relationship with him, so he made the decision to straighten her and become the main house mother of the Liu family. Zhao Xing only had this one daughter, and now she suddenly became a genuine lady from a concubine, and she was personally opened by the lord of the country, with such a big face, the Liu family naturally did not dare to talk about his daughter's background. The beloved daughter has won the favor of her husband and has a position, and the son-in-law is also embarrassed in Nanguo Mansion, so he is naturally grateful to Yao Jin, so Zhao Yu arranged him to be a housekeeper in Nanguo Mansion, and Yao Jin is also very relieved. At this time, Zhao Xing looked at Lin Yuebai's expression and immediately said nervously: "Miss Lin, is there something wrong?"
"No," Lin Yuebai held her purse tightly in her palm, "I'll go see them!"
Seeing Lin Yuebai striding towards the door, Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, explained to the dumb maid next to him, and hurriedly followed. And at this moment, next to the corner gate outside the Nanguo Mansion, two girls were constantly looking into the door, and one of them, with slightly taller eyes, saw Lin Yue's white-red figure coming over, and shouted happily:
"Miss!"
"Ah Mengβ"
"Miss, Ah Meng thought I would never see you again......!
The two girls knelt at Lin Yuebai's feet, and they both cried. Lin Yuebai was happy and sad for a while, helped the two of them up one by one, and asked with red eyes, "How did you find here?"
"It's King Ling-" Ayuan unconsciously glanced back, Zha Jiang and the carriage that sent them were gone, but she still felt that King Ling's eyes were still watching them around, and her heart trembled suddenly when she thought of all kinds of things in the Lingwang Mansion, so she threw herself into Lin Yuebai's arms and shouted sadly: "Miss, Ayuan is so afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, now that you're here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Lin Yuebai stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from Ayuan's face, and took the hands of the two into the corner door. Seeing this, Zhao Xing on the side arranged for his subordinates to clean up the house, and accompanied the three of them to the courtyard where Lin Yuebai lived. Because of taking care of Yao Jin, Lin Yuebai hadn't been back here for a long time, and stopped in the courtyard for a while, Zhao Xing hurriedly pointed to the west wing room and said: "Miss Lin, I have already asked the people to clean up these two rooms and come out, and all the things that should be sent over will be sent over for a while, just for these two children to live in." This courtyard is not far from His Highness's main house, and it is easy to move around, do you think it?"
"Thank you Steward Zhao for your trouble. Lin Yuebai smiled and bowed slightly, turned her head to hold Ayuan and Ameng's hands and said, "You live here first, wait for me to go to His Highness to say goodbye, and we'll talk about it again when I come back." β
"Miss, we want to serve by your side, we don't want to be here!" Hearing Lin Yuebai mention "Your Highness", Ayuan immediately grabbed Lin Yuebai and refused to let go, "His Royal Highness the King of Ling sent us here to just want us to serve Miss well and stay by Miss's side!
Ah Meng was also shocked when he heard the word King Ling, and leaned close to Lin Yuebai's side and said: "Miss, now that the house has been copied, the adults and the eldest lady have been imprisoned, Ah Meng and I have nothing, only Miss! Miss, let us follow you, Miss!"
Lin Yuebai thought that these two people had experienced raiding their homes at a young age, and they had suffered from prison, and they were very frightened, so they were so frightened that they didn't dare to leave herself, she was very reluctant in her heart, so she comforted: "I'm just going to say a few words to His Highness, and I'll be back in a moment, you guys are waiting for me here, don't be afraid, this house is very safe." β
"Miss, why don't you take the slaves and maids to see His Royal Highness, the lord of the country! The slaves and maids go and kowtow to His Highness, thank her for taking her in, if His Royal Highness does not dislike it, the slaves and maids will serve by His Royal Highness and Miss! We don't want to live here alone-Miss, you can take us there, okay?"
Lin Yuebai hesitated for a moment, thinking that these two were his personal girls after all, and even if they followed closely, it should be fine, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, then come with me." β
Ah Yuan and Ah Meng glanced at each other, and said happily: "Miss Xie, Miss Xie!
Zhao Xing on the side didn't put away his smile and frowned until the three of them left the courtyard gate, and Liu Xiaolong also walked over from outside the courtyard at this moment and said, "Father-in-law, these two girls came in the carriage of the lieutenant of the dense forest." β
"Huh?" Zhao Xing's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "I just think it's a little strange that these two girls have to see His Highness, how can they still have something to do with the people of the jungle, how is this good-but, aren't they Miss Lin's family girls?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Ling, who is now hot, is the messenger of the dense forest who came to Caiyun City, His Royal Highness's best friend, and Miss Lin's intended person, that is, the former Lord Jin. Although it is not strange that he left his former cronies by his side to listen to errands, but," Liu Xiaolong scratched his head, "I can't say anything wrong, but there is always something strange." β
Zhao Xing said worriedly: "That...... If not, tell Your Highness?"
"But His Royal Highness has always attached great importance to the affairs of Miss Lin and this Mausoleum King, and Lord Zhao also said in the past, we are not allowed to talk about these things. Liu Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, "Father-in-law, maybe we are thinking too much?"
