Chapter 107: Think Clearly
Everyone turned around the corridor, but there was no other trace except for the swaying of the flower branches.
"Where is this person? Are you wrong? ”
The little girl couldn't say clearly, only said that when she turned around, she seemed to see something like a human figure flashing by.
When everyone heard this, they looked around again under the urging of Dou'er.
But in addition to the exotic grasses, rare birds and animals in the garden, where is the shadow of other things?
At this time, another little maid saw the flying crane with wings spread and shook his head, suddenly clapped his hands, and laughed:
"I said what did you see, you were scared like this. It must have been a mistake for the shadow of the big bird, right? ”
As she spoke, she shrugged her shoulders and said:
"Don't say it's you, I've been scared by this thing when I got up at night. But what are you afraid of? ”
The little maid who was taught a lesson was not sure at first, but after looking at the snow-white and half-human-tall rare bird twice, she couldn't help but smile and said:
"It seems to be. Hey, not counting the whispers behind our backs, I didn't expect to turn around, and I was scared by this thing. ”
As he spoke, the angry "call" twice drove the big birds walking in the yard away a lot.
Dou'er watched the two of them fight on the side, but she still didn't have much support in her heart.
He turned back and wanted to check the ground again.
After looking for it again in such detail, she really found something.
"Huh? Come on. The thing in the flowers, is it a brocade? ”
After everyone was called, they parted the dense branches and leaves together, and sure enough, they picked out one side from the root of the flower bush and embroidered it with orchids.
"This, this is someone who accidentally landed here after eavesdropping, right?"
Dou'er said, her heart was dead.
She's just started to act, has she been caught?!
But the little maid with the brocade handkerchief in her hand, after taking a closer look at it twice, shook her head with a smile and said:
"No, no. Sister Dou'er doesn't know. We just had a little sparrow flying up a branch in our yard, and this thing must be hers. ”
These words made everyone except Dou'er stunned for a moment, and soon burst into laughter.
"That's right, that's right. And the little hoof climbed up to the high branches, and received a reward and clothes, and cut off an old robe that had been given down for the New Year. That's not what it is. ”
After everyone was disdainful for a while, they persuaded Dou'er to be relieved:
"Sister Dou'er, don't think about it, that little hoof is responsible for delivering news back and forth on the door, not dozens of times a day, but more than a dozen times."
"It's normal for her to have something at the door."
Dou'er was not at ease, and after taking Jinpa, he took a closer look and felt more and more wrong.
Such a small thing of material and embroidery, although it is not very valuable, but it is also of great significance to the owner, right? Where will it be littered? Lost and gone?
She was apprehensive in her heart, but she was not good at being too far away from everyone's opinions. I can only put up the brocade on my sleeves and smile at the same time:
"I see. Then I will keep this handkerchief first, and when I go in to find my grandmother in a while, I will return it to her when I see someone. By the way, who are you talking about? ”
Everyone didn't want to see Mei Lan, who had no merit but suddenly soared to the ground, so they happily pushed this troublesome thing to others and sent it back.
And as soon as Dou'er heard who the owner was and what he looked like, someone suddenly knocked on the door urgently.
"Open the door! There is an official outside looking for the county lord, and I heard that there is also a prince here, go and report to the county lord! ”
This stirred, and everyone no longer had time to take care of the beans and the trivial things beside them.
Just asked Dou'er to take care of himself, and everyone hurried to answer the door.
But after the little maids asked carefully, where did they come from?
Because most of the servants at the door were also sent away, although there were people who could recognize them, but the little ones who came to spread the word were all stunned.
Even if I didn't recognize it, I didn't ask to understand, I only listened to it and came to report, wanting to see the county lord of Danyang and have a chance to ask for merit and reward.
And the maids guarding the door, although they have been on duty for many years. But the little guy who was ordered was frightened, and he had no idea. In addition, under Mama Feng's discipline in the past, she was afraid of responsibility and was used to prevarication.
Therefore, after a moment of chaos at the door, the little maid was put inside by the maid, and he made it clear by himself.
But before the person had taken two steps, Mei Lan hurried from under the porch, and the corners of her forehead were full of beads of sweat.
"What's going on here?"
The words were quite majestic, but they caused a burst of secret laughter from everyone.
The little guy who didn't know why stood in place for a moment, directly ignored Mei Lan, and said perfunctorily, "I'm here to ask the county lord for something, don't get in the way." ”
directly pushed Mei Lan away, and was about to rush straight into the courtyard.
"Wait!"
The Meilan people are small and weak, so naturally they can't stop the tall and big guys.
But shouting the order loudly alarmed the royal forest army on the trees in the yard, specially to protect the county lord of Danyang, who was on an errand here.
"Hey."
When the eaves walked up the wall and quietly appeared behind everyone, he lifted the little guy who was about to break through with one hand, and turned his head to ask Mei Landao, whose eyes were red in a hurry:
"You're in charge of this, right? I can help you stop the people outside, but the people in this courtyard are not under my control. ”
After saying this sentence meaningfully, he carried the back collar of the little guy like a chicken, and "sent" the person to the door.
No matter how the little guy called, how the little girls around him pleaded, naturally nothing changed.
Mei Lan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to thank her, and when she turned her head, her face became more serious and gloomy.
She naturally remembered what the county lord had warned her, but she didn't expect these people to eat like this.
Taking a deep breath, Mei Lan said coldly:
"I know you're not convinced. But whatever you think, listen to me now. If anyone really doesn't want to, say it to their face now. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the crowd with disdain, but did not dare to look directly at her face, and added:
"Of course, if there is anyone who wants to find another job, I will not stop it. If you can, you can also help to talk to the county lord. But you'd better think about who the county lord is usually, who he is, and what he should do. ”
In fact, it was the Danyang County Lord who used to control the wealth, so that the servants in the Qi Shuangge Pavilion were much more slack than elsewhere even when Mama Feng was in power. Not to mention, right now.
Mei Lan's words only made the little maids show more and more disdainful expressions.
But Dou'er, who was secretly listening on the side, pinched the Jinpa in his sleeve, but couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
When Mei Lan saw that the person who should be beaten had listened, she ran out of the last sentence that she should have said to her subordinates.
"If you don't object at this moment, then if you dare to do it again in the future, and don't act according to my orders, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings."
The sonorous words were not only like a warning, but also like Mei Lan's admonition and promise to herself.
