Chapter 9: The Covenant of the Eldest Lady

On this year's Qixi Festival, in addition to the daily transcription work, there are more women who come to ask for love, and even some men who want to borrow notes to convey love also ask Yi Xue to write letters on their behalf.

In fact, Yi Xue is a complete layman when it comes to men and women, and after staying in the bookstore, there is only the "oops, oops" Wei Shuo who has a temper and refuses to drink medicine, and Rong Xuan, who has just been regarded as her younger brother.

Yi Xue thinks that it may be only because she is also a woman that she understands women's minds better, men and women in love can't see clearly, she is a bystander, and women's minds are broken by her "man" with a word, so that she can be looked at differently, which has nothing to do with learning.

Therefore, for Yi Xue, interpreting love poems is from the heart, and writing love notes on behalf of her is not so easy, but looking at those poor women to be married with sad faces, she softened her heart, and she spent a lot of time privately studying the love stories of the ancestors, love poems and folk songs, and also read some strange books and picture albums, which made Yi Xue's cheeks red.

And this time, Yin Baoshan's love note is so demanding, Yi Xue needs to put more thought into it. She studied the book for a few days, and felt that she had found a way, but whenever she wanted to pick up the pen, she always felt that something was missing. Therefore, when Yin Baoshan's maid Amber came to pass the word and ask how the progress was, Yi Xue was even more anxious.

After thinking about it, Yi Xue finally found the crux of the problem.

Although Yin Baoshan has high requirements for the writing of love notes, Yi Xue has honed her skills as much as possible and improved her level. But more importantly, Yi Xue doesn't know the specific situation of Yin Baoshan and her sweetheart.

Usually, the woman who pleads for love will come to the bookstore in person, and Yi Xue can clearly understand the details of the acquaintance and encounter between the two, and knead these contents into the poem, so that both parties can feel that the love is sincere. But on Yin Baoshan's side, Yi Xue didn't even know who the other party was, let alone more trivial things.

Even if it is just to meet with Yin Baoshan and ask about the situation of the two, presumably the poems written in this way can move people's hearts more.

So finally. Yi Xue thought about it again and again, but still conveyed to Amber the idea of whether she could meet Yin Baoshan in person. It is naturally impossible for the eldest lady of the boudoir to come to the poor countryside of the market to see her, a bookshop student, and if she thinks about it, it may be more appropriate for her to disguise herself as a subordinate to enter the mansion.

This idea also reached Yin Baoshan, and Yin Baoshan was also a cheerful person, and Amber replied at a later date, saying that Miss had agreed.

The two are scheduled to meet on June 24 at the Lotus Picking Festival in Kaifeng Town.

The Lotus Picking Festival was originally held spontaneously by the flower farmers in Kaifeng Town in order to thank the lotus fairy, but this year, the county lord will come in person to organize this lotus picking festival. At that time, the nobles of the family and many guests came, including the lover of the eldest lady of the Yin family.

On that day, Yin Baoshan would go out of the house with her father, and Yi Xue only needed to blend in with the servants, so that she could not only see her lover during the meal, but also find a chance to meet Miss Yin after lunch, and then leave with the servants at the end of the banquet.

Such a bold move may only be done by an eldest lady like Yin Baoshan, but after thinking about it, the person who will take the initiative to send love notes to other sons' sons is not the behavior of ordinary boudoir women, knowing that if this move is discovered, it will violate the name of the official lady's female virtue, but she still insists on it, on the one hand, Yi Xue is also admired, but she is also worried that Miss Yin is easy to be rash.

And the second news from Amber just confirmed Yu Xue's conjecture.

Yin Baoshan also put forward a condition - Yi Xue pretended to be a maid!

It's not a little girl, it's a maid!

Although in today's world, men pursue Shen waist and sideburns, and the ultimate beautiful man is better than a woman, so the appearance of Yi Xue's men's clothing will not arouse everyone's suspicion at all, not to mention that Yi Xue is originally a woman, and a little servant will not attract everyone's attention.

But Yi Xue still instinctively objected, and the eldest lady of the Yin family seemed to have expected this, and when Yi Xue refused, Amber immediately proposed to pay twice as much.

Yi Xue was stunned, in a hurry just now, she just subconsciously refused. But at this moment, when I calm down and think about it, it is actually no problem for her to pretend to be a maid as a woman, and others will not associate the maid with the man's Tao Xi, maybe this will also help her hide her identity?

However, at the thought of appearing in front of the world as a woman, Yi Xue still felt inexplicably afraid.

But the maid Amber mistakenly thought that Yu Xue was arrogant, and reluctantly added another finger and said, "Triple the reward."

Xue Xue was surprised by Amber's move to sit on the ground, but as soon as she thought about it, she seemed to understand the reason, and wanted to tease her.

Yi Xue lowered her head, pretending to hesitate, but finally shook her head.

Amber frowned, stomped her feet in anger, and Yi Xue laughed secretly in her heart, it turned out that this little girl had bad intentions and wanted to make a fortune from the reward.

Finally, Amber waved her hand helplessly, "Alright, alright." Giving you five times the pay, there's really no more. As he spoke, he stuffed the silver into Yi Xue's hand, and deliberately opened his cuffs to let Yi Xue confirm that there was indeed no money in it.

Yi Xue took the silver and looked dazed, she was just a whim, she wanted to tease this little girl, but she didn't expect to make her anxious, now that the silver is in her hands, how can she refuse.

Amber hurriedly stuffed the cloth bag she brought into Xue Xue's arms, for fear that she would regret it again, and advised: "I also brought you clothes, you remember to make up that day." ”

When Yi Xue heard the word "grooming", her heart "chuckled", but she immediately came back to her senses and arched her hand: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey." ”

But as soon as Amber left, Xue Xue began to regret it.

Although seven years have passed since the chase, for the sake of prudence, Yi Xue took into account the matter of disguise when she proposed to meet, and she has decided to dress up as a little maid to enter the house, although at the time of this decision, Yi Xue was struggling, just ask, what woman doesn't like skirt hairpins?

In the market, no one asked her to dress as a man, just for convenience, and the man would not cause any gossip when he managed the bookstore, and more importantly, for safety reasons. The past of the hunt is still vivid, and the palace still seems to be in turmoil, and she has finally stayed away from the royal family, so she can no longer know who chased her and her brother back then, and now it is wise to hide.

If you can ignore these, in fact, in the bottom of your heart, you still miss women's outfits very much!

In the past in the palace, although Yixue did not seek to be surrounded by pearls and beads, but it was also indispensable to have a cloud grate and a neon coat. After coming to the bookstore, she just wanted to be clean and tidy, and she didn't even dare to think about things like hairpins.

It's just that she didn't expect Amber to easily break down her defense line with a few words, she had obviously told herself before, and she had already hidden her little thoughts.

Yi Xue couldn't help but sigh.

Now, Yi Xue has passed the age of Xuan, and even the little girl in the pharmacy next door has a bone basket used when she was fifteen years old, and as a "man", Yi Xue needs to be over twenty years old to perform a weak crown ceremony, and there is no mirror in the bookstore, she seems to be about to forget the appearance of her gorgeous clothes.

However, when she thought that she would soon be able to change back into a woman's appearance in a bright and bright way, Yi Xue couldn't help but get excited.

In the past seven years, Yi Xue has long since faded from her childishness, and her appearance has changed a lot.

The head of the mantis moth eyebrows, the beautiful eyes turn slightly, the smile is like a crescent moon, the eyelashes are like butterflies, the small mouth is slightly open, the teeth are like braided shells, the white neck is beautiful, the pipe is in hand, the fingers are like green onions, and the waist is thin.

Of course, Yi Xue herself didn't know that she was more than sixteen years old, and she was becoming more and more like her mother.
