Xing'er was young, and Qingzhi arranged work for her in the outer courtyard, and like Chun'er Shi'er, she did some work to sprinkle and sweep the girl.

Qingzhi called the eight second-class maids in the courtyard over, and solemnly instructed: "In the future, Xing'er will be the same as you, they will be the girls of Zhaoyang Garden, you must help each other and don't cause trouble." Ugly words are ahead, if someone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for being polite, and directly give the county lord, you know what the consequences are. ”

The eight maidens all bowed their heads and were silent.

If you get into trouble, you will be fined a few months' worth of silver, and if you are expelled from the courtyard or even expelled from the palace and sold, it will be too late to cry.

No one dares to defy the law, everyone knows it very well.

Qingzhi nodded with satisfaction, deliberately called Chun'er out, pointed at Xing'er and said, "I'll hand her over to you, take her to do things well, if there is anything wrong, I want to find you." ”

Such an errand is both a burden and a burden.

Chun'er was willing, she smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Sister Qingzhi, don't worry, I will teach her well." ”

"Let's go away, and go our own way." Qingzhi waved his hand and turned back to the main room.

Chun'er smiled at Xing'er very kindly: "Come with me." ”

Xing'er originally thought that she could go to the house to serve, but she didn't expect that she could only be a girl in the outer courtyard, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But it's already a good errand to be able to stay in Zhaoyang Garden, and when Sister Qingzhi and the others have made promises, maybe it will be her turn to be a big girl.

I heard that the young lady of a large family married into her husband's family, and she would also raise her personal maid to be a maid in the room, if she was lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and raised a concubine, then she would turn over and become half a master!

Thinking about it like this, she became happy again, and followed behind Chun'er with a mouthful of "Sister Chun'er", so she was not attentive.

Shi'er sneered, picked up the kettle on the ground, and continued to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard.

In the afternoon, Tong Yan received a letter from Zhao Yu.

How could Zhao Yu write to her for no reason, they didn't even say a word, it must be Zhao Heng's letter.

She took it from Qingzhi's hand, and wrote four big characters on the envelope: Zhaoyang Qinqi.

Tong Yan almost didn't recognize what was written, such a handwriting would definitely not be written by Zhao Yu.

She opened the envelope, there was only a thin piece of paper inside, and she looked at it for a long time before she understood this line of words: Tomorrow, see you at the back door of King Yong's mansion.

So he said yes!

The stone in Tong Yan's heart fell to the ground.

Xue Chengcai, she has to teach him a good lesson and let him know what shame it is!

She turned around happily, her heart was very refreshed, and the accumulated resentment disappeared without a trace at once.

But it's really sloppy.

She held it up and looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook her head.

Anyway, she hasn't practiced her words well in the past two days, and she has finally achieved some results after persisting for so long, but she can't slack off.

Tong Yan put the letter back in the envelope and put it at the bottom of the box.

"Qingzhi, I want to practice calligraphy." She happily put the box away.

Qingzhi didn't know what the county lord wanted to do, and he had been thinking about it before, so he suddenly became happy when he received Miss Zhao's letter.

Also in the morning, Xiangyun was ordered by the county lord to go out of the house, she asked Xiangyun what to do, but Xiangyun did not answer.

The county lord actually guarded against her, and Qingzhi's heart was still a little aggrieved.

She hurriedly responded to the county lord's orders, turned around and went to the study to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Tong Yan knew that Qingzhi was uncomfortable, and this was originally done by her on purpose, which could be regarded as a beating.

After all, there is a difference between master and servant, and the green branch cannot exceed the rules.

As long as she doesn't want the maid to know, the maid can't know, let alone think about peeping into her secret, that's the rule.

Qingzhi is sincerely committed to her, and she also relies on Qingzhi from the bottom of her heart, but sometimes, love is love, reason is reasonable, and it can't be messed up.

Tong Yan happily went to the study to practice calligraphy for a long time.

Except for the time when she finished eating, she stayed in the study until it was time to rest, and then went back to the room to rest.

The night vigil is the bell tone.

Qingzhi lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and wondered if she had offended the county lord recently and made the county lord distrust her.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't understand what she didn't do well.

Isn't it her face that annoys the county lord? Tired of it?

Qingzhi sat up violently, and by the faint moonlight, got out of bed, touched a mirror on the table, and came back, leaning against the window, looking left and right, and couldn't see why.

She was so depressed that she put down the mirror and sighed.

Ji Yue had already heard the sound of Qingzhi's side, which would make her sigh, and Ji Yue's heart trembled.

Qingzhi is the most secure person who won't worry about it on weekdays, what's wrong with today?

The two have been together since they entered the palace in their teens, and they were pointed out by the prince at the same time to serve the county lord, and they lived in the same room, so they can be regarded as people who know each other.

Ji Yue was still lying down, tilting her head and whispering, "Sister Qingzhi, what's wrong with you?" ”

There are only two of them living in this house, and there is no need to be afraid of making noise.

"Did it make you noisy?" Aoeda was full of apologies.

"No, no." Ji Yue got up and said with concern: "If there is any difficulty, my sister may wish to talk to me, we have been together for so many years, and I have never seen my sister unable to sleep at night." ”

Qingzhi sighed again, groped directly to Ji Yue's bed, next to her, and said bluntly: "Good sister, you know, since we came to Zhaoyang Garden, I have served the county lord with all my heart, and I have not been sloppy for a moment." Of course, the county lord is also a rare good master, never loses his temper, is also kind and considerate to us, and rewards us with things from time to time.

But since we came back from the Liang Mansion, the county lord seems to be planning something, but he has been avoiding me, why do you say this? But what have I done wrong lately that has made the county lord angry? ”

Ji Yue also discovered that the county lord seemed to be avoiding them, but it was not so much avoiding them, but it was more about the county lord's own privacy.

She vaguely understood, and after thinking about it in her heart, she took Qingzhi's arm and said, "I know that my sister has always been a solid person, and the county lord may not be able to see it." It's just that the county lord is the master, we are maids after all, and the county lord didn't understand anything when he first came, so we can mention it, but now the county lord has adapted to it. ”

Ji Yue looked at the thoughtful expression on Qingzhi's face by the moonlight, and continued to say slowly: "The main thing in the county is a caring maid, not a chattering old mother. ”

Qingzhi is doing his best, but he is too late, and everything has a degree.

After listening to Ji Yue's words, Qingzhi was relieved, the county lord is the lord, she is the servant, how can she ask the county lord?

Let her know everything, then won't she become an old mother among old mothers?

Qingzhi hugged Ji Yue and sighed: "It's still my sister who can see through it, blame me for being too sharp." ”

The county lord is such a good person, how can she still complain? Qingzhi calmed down.

The two talked again, and then they slept peacefully.

The next day, Tong Yan was very interested, and she didn't even sleep at noon, just waiting for the time to come.

At the appointed hour, the sun had just set, and it was time for curfew.

Tong Yan was dressed in the clothes of a small maid, and with Xiangyun and Chen Yuke, who were also dressed, she stood in a corner not far from the closed back door of the palace.

There are also four guards with knives guarding the back door, which is very powerful.

She was afraid that someone with a heart would sue Princess Yong, so she specially asked Xiangyun to climb over the wall from the mezzanine next to Zhaoyang Garden and bring her and Chen Yuke out.

Fortunately, Xiangyun's martial arts are strong, and he can also fly the eaves and walk the wall, so he easily sent them over.

The three of them walked around the Yongwang Mansion for a quarter of a circle before they reached the back door, but she was exhausted.

It's good, it's not good to make an appointment somewhere, it has to be at the back door, and it has to cause her to go around in such a big circle, how good it would be if people found out.

Tong Yan leaned against the wall, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and made a silent gesture to Xiangyun and Chen Yuke, hiding here first and not moving.

It was already time, and I heard the gongs and cheers of the watchmen in the distance.

Why hasn't Zhao Heng come yet, if you can't speak, don't count, let's play with her.

Tong Yan was a little panicked.

At this moment, a tall man in black with hair was coming from the east, and was about to walk to the guard at the back door.

Tong Yan poked out a pair of eyes and looked out the back door.

It was dark and far away, and she stared hard, but she couldn't see what the man looked like.

However, just looking at the height, it is about the same as Zhao Heng, not to mention that there is a curfew, except for the people of Jingwei, who else dares to swagger like this, it must be Zhao Heng.

He's not going to talk to the guards, is he? Exposed her again.

I heard that the people who practice martial arts have very good eyesight, Tong Yan stretched out a hand and beckoned to him anxiously, for fear that he would ask the guards, did the county lord of Zhaoyang come out.

Zhao Heng didn't know if he saw it, but the guard heard the movement, stretched his neck to look this way, and was so frightened that Tong Yan quickly retracted her hand and didn't dare to move.

I saw that after the man in black went over and said a few words to the vigilant guard, the guard did not move.

He patted the guard on the shoulder as if encouragingly, and walked towards Tong Yan's side.

Tong Yan listened to the movement of no guards, and quietly poked her head out to see what was going on, but coldly hit her head on a meat board.

"Ugh!" Tong Yan rubbed her head and took a step back, the pain was not too painful, but it really scared her.

Why don't you make a little noise, scare people to death!

It's a pity that she is begging someone to do something, and where can she dare to complain about Zhao Heng, holding it with respect.

She squeezed a sweet smile after a while, raised her head and said softly, "Watch ......"

The remaining word "brother" was stuck in her throat, almost choking her.

"Ahem, ahem—" She covered her mouth and coughed quietly, tilting her head and glaring at the person in front of her, her coquettish eyes wide.

The man in front of him was like a crown of jade, under the sword eyebrows, a pair of starry eyes were full of warm spring breeze, the corners of his good-looking mouth were slightly raised, outlining a casual and calm smile, and he was staring at her gently.

Tong Yan's heart was beating like a drum, and she looked at him blankly.

Where is this Zhao Heng, this is clearly Cheng Huai!
