Chapter Ninety-Six: False Alarm (I)
"In this way, it is Gu Mou's luck." Gu Zhao's smile suddenly looked a little self-deprecating, "There is such a thing as old things, sometimes forgotten, maybe it's better...... Nonsense, the girl doesn't have to care. Saying that, he suddenly got up, "It's cold in the middle of the night, Miss Moyu should rest early, Gu said goodbye." ”
Shen Yuan didn't stay politely, got up and sent him to the stairs, said goodbye to each other, and watched him go downstairs and turn around and leave, and went up to the third floor. When she passed by Mo Yuyuan's room, she saw that the light was on inside, and after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any movement, so she didn't go in, thinking that if she needed it, someone would come to invite her. When they returned to their rooms, the two of them were already waiting, and Shen Yuan had just begun when he really had to work hard.
At night, as usual, I change my clothes and wash up. Put on a scarf, wash your face with your hair, change into bedclothes, comb your hair and moisten your face, and rub the medicated oil and ointment again. Scarlet Cloud has sharp legs and feet, and his mouth is also sharp, serving Shen Yuan, while telling the news he found in the backyard word for word.
When the slave arrived, she was helping to wash the dishes, and she didn't talk to anyone else. Sister-in-law Wen said that she kept her head down on the road, and she only answered when someone asked her what her name was and how old she was. ”
When she arrived in the kitchen, she didn't speak, but Sister-in-law Wen thanked her when she handed her the dishes and chopsticks. She sat with Sister-in-law Wen and Xiaocui, Xiaocui was in charge of hot water everywhere, and she listened to a lot of gossip, knowing that the top lady was unlucky, so she asked her if she was always bullied on weekdays, and now she can be counted? She just shook her head and muffled, 'That is, occasionally beating and scolding, it is common to be a maid'. ”
The people at the table asked her, is she really not wronged at all, unfortunately? She shook her head vigorously and said that she didn't dare, and said that the top lady was pitiful enough and didn't want to laugh at her anymore. Sister-in-law Wen said that at that time, everyone still said that she had a good heart and said that she would be good in the future. ”
"By the way, when she saw me coming, she nodded and smiled at me, which embarrassed the slave."
Shen Yuan listened silently, reached out and touched his face, his skin was smooth and soft, and it could be broken by blowing, and there was no half of it flawed. The Longji shop, which sells incense medicines, has a few new flavors of soap, bath beans, etc., and I don't know what secret recipes have been added, with different flower and fruit fragrances, which are used to freshen up and bathe, refreshing and moisturizing after washing, and can also condition the skin.
Scarlet Cloud's reply sounded good, although that girl felt a little wooden, but, after going through so many things, if she could still speak well, it seemed even more unsettling. Shen Yuan moved his hand to his nose and sniffed lightly, his hand was stained with a faint sweet fragrance, and it was very comfortable to smell.
"So, how old is she?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Say seventeen," Scarlet Cloud smacked his tongue, "That lady is only eighteen!" We have all followed the girl since childhood, but when we get here, how can there be such a big girl from the building. ”
Before the words fell, Shen Yuan raised his head and glanced at her lightly: "Don't call the top lady in the future, Guanying will be punished for making mistakes, and it is no longer countable." ”
"Yes, slave remembers." Scarlet Cloud hurriedly lowered his head and bent his knees to admit his mistake.
Shen Yuan turned his face sideways and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, knowing that Scarlet Cloud's words were on point. After Guanying became the top brand, she ordered to go out to investigate, and the results were really surprising. She trusted the web she had wove and was horrified at how unbearable the past was.
Guanying is thirteen years old into the cold fragrance pavilion, before that, five years old and biological mother were kicked out of the house by the eldest woman, and then sold by the biological mother to human teeth, through human teeth changed hands, to a rich man's house to be a maid, thirteen years old and was resold to another family, all said that it was because of the deliberate seduction of the previous young master......
What can you seduce at only thirteen? When he heard this at first glance, Shen Yuan was also incredulous. But at that time, the people she sent out to investigate found that it was a housekeeper in charge of the backyard staff, and it was so true and vivid that people couldn't imagine that a thirteen-year-old girl could have so many ghost eyes.
As for later, less than half a year after Guanying was transferred to another family, she was sent to the grange, and the reason for this has never been found, but there are rumors that when Guanying was sent away, some people saw that she was covered in blood. Guanying stayed in the grange for a month, and was taken away by the tooth, and finally because of her good appearance and pitiful face, she was taken by Mo Yu Mandarin and bought back to Lengxiang Pavilion.
The only thing that is wrong with this is why Guanying was sent to the Grange, and those who went out to inquire said that the family was very strict and refused to reveal more than half a word. Shen Yuan couldn't rush too hard, and at that time, what Guanying did had not yet been exposed, so this unclear point was temporarily put aside and did not continue to investigate.
However, from the beginning to the end, she had not checked Caiyun, and she was not even interested in what her name was. It has always been that only the pavilion master, the oiran, and the head card can have a maid with them, and the rest of the people live on their own. Scarlet Cloud heard from Sister-in-law He in the kitchen that Caiyun was picked up to serve the day after Guanying won the first place, and from the first day, Guanying didn't like her very much.
There's probably no better candidate, right? Being picked to the front to serve the top lady, not only to do things neatly, but also to look too unsightly, these two colorful clouds are accounted for, and it is common to be picked.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan felt a little more relaxed, pulled the quilt and turned sideways to get ready to sleep. Scarlet Cloud retreated outside, hugged a mattress and blanket and spread it on the beauty couch, greeted Scarlet Moon softly, waved her hand and waited for her to go back to the next door to wash up. Scarlet Moon quickly cleaned up and came back, put on the latch, blew out the lamp at the head of Shen Yuan's inner bed, lowered the curtain and retreated to the outer room, half leaning on the beauty couch for the night.
This sleep was not sound, Shen Yuan had not really fallen asleep, when he heard a commotion in the corridor, followed by a soul-like knock on the door, it sounded like he had called the pavilion master's wife up, and the group walked away in a noisy manner, probably because something happened to the warbler. She held her eyelids and waited for a while, but no one came to invite, thinking that it had nothing to do with her, so she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a frightened cry pierced the sky, and the scarlet moon, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and fell to the ground, turned over and got up and ran to the window, looked out of the window, and actually smelled a smell of smoke, and heard the backyard from a distance.
"Girl! Girl, it's on fire! Miss, run! Scarlet Moon was so frightened that she immediately rushed into the inner room, lifted the curtain and shook Shen Yuan lifelessly, seeing that she was confused and couldn't wake up, she pulled a big jacket in a panic, wrapped her indiscriminately and dragged her on her back, half back and half pack, one of her feet was unstable, and the two of them rolled to the ground all at once.
