123. Xie Fu
Entering the courtyard, all the maidservants were taken aback, this courtyard and the courtyard are simply two worlds outside the courtyard.
In the courtyard, it seems to isolate the barbaric Fannan, as if it has arrived in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, the water in it flows, elegant and exquisite, and the surface of the pool is still blooming with golden water lilies in such weather.
The maidservants who swept the floor were all wearing beautiful skirts, and looked at the pickled women who were stunned after entering the door with disdain.
After turning around the verandah, the man in black led them to a courtyard of blue bricks, which was obviously where the servants were. When he entered the courtyard, he saw a woman of forty or fifty years of age coming out, who was round and dressed in a brocade robe with a broken silver background, and looked four women up and down.
She frowned and said, "It looks good, but it's a pity." ”
She shook her head, a gloomy look between her eyebrows.
The girls did not understand what she meant, but they felt as if they were going to be sent to the altar, and they were afraid.
"Aunt Wang, I handed them over to you." After the man in black finished speaking, he left.
"Come here, look at you dirty!"
This Aunt Wang looked pleasant, and the girls dared to talk to her.
"Aunt Wang, where is this?" Qingqing asked cautiously.
"This is Xie Fu. Come here, over there are your clothes to wash, wash your hands, and follow me this way. The four girls took their clothes, followed Aunt Wang through a few paths, and arrived in front of a house in the backyard, and when they entered the house, they felt a thick heat coming towards them, and the house was actually a living hot spring pool.
"Wash well, there are fragrant pancreas next to that pool."
The girls undressed and went into the water, still full of doubts. This Aunt Wang didn't talk much, although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask too much.
The water was so white that the girls, who had been dirty for many days, were very happy to see the clean water, and when they arrived, whatever the result, it was at least much better than before.
After taking a bath, Aunt Wang taught them to put on a double-ring bun and change into a pink satin dress, and the four girls stood in front of her, all of them were delicate and slim.
I took them to the dining room again, and the meal was very rich, and for the first time in so many days, they had eaten a full meal.
After a busy day, the girls were tired, and they were taken back to the previous yard by Aunt Wang, and the two girls were in one room and rested separately.
However, Ning Su couldn't sleep.
She faintly smelled something unusual, and she felt that the way the princess looked at them was always a little strange, as if she were looking at the kind of lamb to the slaughter that was about to go to the altar.
In the dark, Qingqing had sex with her, and she heard her muffled breathing, and she should have slept soundly.
Who is the owner of this Xie Mansion? Looking at this Jiangnan-style layout, she deduced that this owner should be a Jiangnan. He bought four young maidservants, but he was not in a hurry to summon them, which means that the four maidservants he bought with a lot of money are just like ordinary maidservants, and they will not enter his eyes. If this is the case, she just entered a rich family as a maidservant, and her situation is much better than before in the hands of human teeth. But looking at Aunt Wang's expression, she felt that her situation with the other three girls might not be as simple as she thought.
If you want to figure out what's going on? She had to sneak out and take a look.
Although it is very risky to go out at night in this strange place, wouldn't it be even more disadvantageous to be sent to the altar like this?
Ning Su made up her mind and got up from the bed, there was no one outside the door, she quietly got out of the door.
Suddenly, she saw a dark shadow dangling past the side wall, and she fixed her eyes on it, and through the faint moonlight, the back of the black shadow seemed to be a little familiar.
Ning Su tiptoed over, the back stopped, she walked a few steps, who knew that the back turned back sharply, in the dark night, they all looked at each other, and they were all taken aback.
"Is that you?" It turned out that the black shadow was Ting'er, and she didn't know when she sneaked out of the room. Ting'er is the girl in yellow who has been sneering at her before.
Ting'er came over and grabbed her sleeve, frowned, and said, "What are you doing when you come out?" Looking for death? ”
Ning Su looked at her indifferently: "What do you come out for, I'll do it?" ”
Ting'er let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "It's really unlucky, I met you anywhere." "Obviously she doesn't like Ning Su.
In the darkness of the night, the two of them walked forward one after the other.
The house where they lived was not guarded.
But further on, you will see many guards, and there is a magnificent mansion on the side of the guard, which must be where the master is.
Because of the guards, the two of them didn't dare to go forward anymore, and secretly hid in the flowers.
At this time, a figure dangled on the side of the road, and Ning Su recognized it as the man in black during the day, during the day he was covered with a black veil, here, he was not veiled, but his face was covered with a half-black iron mask, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Mr. Xie!" The guards respected him very much, and when they saw him about to enter the mansion, they immediately saluted.
"Hmm." The iron-masked man Xie nodded and asked, "Can the lord be in the house?" ”
"Yes." The guard replied.
Manager Xie was about to go in, when he suddenly heard a woman's scream in the house, he was taken aback, and immediately said, "Go, come in!" ”
The woman's scream was extremely miserable, Ning Su and Ting'er both trembled when they listened, they didn't dare to move, they only dared to pestle quietly in the flowers, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
After a while, I saw two ironclad guards carry out a shelf, on which seemed to lie a person, covered with a white cloth.
As the shelves passed by them, a pungent smell of blood came to their noses, and they both glanced at each other, only to see a touch of watery pink skirt under the white cloth, which was exactly what they were wearing.
Both of them only felt a chill in their vests.
"Alas, another one died." As he walked out, one of the guards whispered, "It's a pity that this maid is only fifteen years old, and she is a good child." ”
"Shhhh Let the women come tomorrow. ”
Hearing that, Ning Su seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar and swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.
It wasn't until late at night, when the guards began to stand and nap, that the two of them secretly left and returned to their rooms.
Ning Su was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, she finally understood why that aunt Wang had such eyes, no matter what was wrong with their master, they just bought it to give anger to that terrible master.
She thought about it for a while, and then got up from the bed at once, no, she couldn't sit still like this.
"Qingqing, Qingqing......" She woke up Qingqing in the next bed, Qingqing looked at her in a daze: "What's wrong?" Sugan. Is it dawn? ”
"We're leaving, we're getting out of here." Ning Su said anxiously.
"What are you kidding?" Qingqing was sleeping just right, and was suddenly woken up by her, and she was not angry, and said angrily: "We are so easy to get out of bad luck, we have good food and drink here, and this soft bed, why did you leave?" Are you crazy? ”
Ning Su couldn't say clearly for a while, so he had to say: "Listen to me, if we stay here, our lives will be in danger." ”
Qingqing rolled her eyes, turned around, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, my life will be in danger when I leave here." ”
Ning Su sighed, seeing that she was reluctant to leave, she had to sneak out of the room by herself.
At this time, at the same time, I saw Ting'er next door also quietly come out.
Ting'er came to her and looked at her coldly: "What, you can't stay still?" ”
Ning Su said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." ”
Ting'er glanced at her, ignored her, and walked straight outside.
Who knew that after only two steps, a dark shadow at the door blocked the way of the two.
"Where are you going to go in the middle of the night?" The voice belonged to Aunt Wang.
Ting'er took a step back, and Ning Su was also there.
"Aunt Wang, you know that we can only die if we stay here, so you can do it, can't you let us leave?" Ting'er pleaded.
Aunt Wang frowned, her expression became vigilant, and she said, "You two girls, what do you know?" What nonsense? You are the servant girls of Xie Mansion when you come in, what is the way to die? ”
Ning Su said: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, and we see that my aunt is not a hard-hearted person, so I don't hide it from my aunt, Ting'er and I secretly went to the mansion over there at night, and we saw a dead maid being carried out." Although we don't know what is wrong with the master, we know that the handmaid is the same identity as us, and we are the ones who take the place of the handmaiden. If this is the case, is it not a dead end that awaits us? Please be merciful to your aunt, the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, please think about it carefully. ”
When Aunt Wang looked at Ning Su, she was a little surprised, and said, "I didn't expect you to be a good speaker." Alas, this is not something that I am hard-hearted or compassionate about. Since you have come in, don't think about going out, even if I let you go, you will not be able to get out anyway, this Xie Mansion is heavily guarded, far beyond your expectations. Our master is a noble man, and although you are in a pitiful situation, it may not all be a dead end. Okay, let's go in and rest, don't try in vain. ”
Ning Su and Ting'er glanced at each other, knowing that there was no hope of going out tonight, so they had to retreat in a sneer.
Ning Su lay on the bed, and his heart was horizontal, no matter what, since he was not completely hopeless, he could only fight hard in the end.
Unconsciously, she fell into a deep sleep, but she was very unstable in her sleep. This night, she had a strange dream, in which there was a chaise longue, a splendid golden step, and a beautiful palace.
