Chapter 90: Confusion
The bright lights in front of the hall were reflected in the eyes as a broken glow.
As the pulsating crowd at the entrance walked through, the lights appeared and disappeared in sight because of the obstruction of passers-by. In this way, the sparkling light in the eyes flickered and dimmed, as if there were fluctuations, and it was as wonderful as a variety of flowers.
After a long time, Song Zhixi withdrew her stagnant gaze, she stood by the secluded door wall, carefully opened the burden and rummaged through, but it still ended in vain.
She was speechless.
To her surprise, if you want to enter the Songhe Hall, you need to verify your identity.
Just now, because she couldn't get a waist card to prove her identity, and no one could give her a guarantee in advance, the waiter guarding the door pushed her back with a palm on the grounds of "unknown identity".
At this moment, from not far away, several girls dressed as maids came up, their eyebrows were uniformly lit with red rouge, and their upper bodies were wearing an indigo blue armor dyed with valerian printing, and they were talking about something as they walked.
Song Zhixi raised his eyes and subconsciously settled down.
With this seriousness, she couldn't help but sigh that the surrounding environment was really noisy, and at the same time she didn't forget to pack her baggage and walk straight to the middle of the road.
When these girls passed by, Song Zhixi finally listened to their gossip.
"The handyman who ran the hall couldn't get out of his body, so he asked us to come and run, but yes, we can be considered to have bought everything, and we won't be trained again now."
"But I have to warn you that we have to be careful when we do things today, and we must not be sloppy."
"It's a thankless job anyway, how can it compare to those who serve by the side of the dancing sisters?" A woman pouted.
Immediately afterwards, someone complained, "Let me see, we are not as good as the guy who serves tea and water, people at least show their faces, and the nobles are generous, I just heard that Zhang Xiaosheng, who ran to the hall to deliver refreshments, can get a lot of rewards every time he goes around the hall like this!" β
Next, a few people discussed the purchase again, and Song Zhixi was right to think that they were the maidservants of Songhetang.
In this way, she had a plan in her heart, she coughed lightly, pretended to be pale, took out a handful of broken silver from her purse and hurriedly followed.
-
The maidservants picked and searched, but the left and right still didn't think the silver was enough, and after Song Zhixi mediated with them, in addition to a pair of clothes, only a hairpin was given to her.
Although it is not polite to be replaced, such a small role as them is simply dispensable, and there are people who can work for themselves, and there is money to collect, so why not do it.
In any case, you must not travel to the pool in terms of dressing up. Song Zhixi followed their example and pinned a budding bead flower on her head, she glanced at it, and with a limp of her body, she followed a luxurious carriage along the way.
"Where are you from, girl, still sneaking, don't think I didn't find out." Ah Wu waved his hand at her, "Give me a quick departure." β
Seeing that the girl was playing with her hair twisted, looking like she had nothing to do, Ah Wu couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked, "Where are you the girl inside?" Don't you want to follow our baby girl too? If that's the case, I advise you to dispel this thought, and don't think about it. β
The familiar name caught Song Zhixi's attention, she was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help but want to force an embarrassed smile, admittedly she didn't expect to bump into the legendary favorite concubine in the Dingyuan Mansion here again.
The maidservant made a look, and Song Zhixi saw that several big men were coming over to push her again, she frowned and blurted out, "And-"
Before the word "slow" could be spoken, almost at the same time, a voice came faintly.
"Wait." A hand put on the back of the servant's hand, and the jade finger with the orchid was the first to come into view.
Ah Wu rolled his eyes, and recognized that it was the dancing girl Fu Niangzi in the Songhe Hall who walked away, Fu Niangzi and the baby Ji have never dealt with each other, and when the two were sisters in the Songhe Hall, they often competed with each other.
"Sister Wu, you are such a bully outside, aren't you afraid of causing gossip to our baby sister? It is said that Sister Infant is the most kind-hearted, how can a good reputation be practiced like this! Fu Niangzi covered her mouth and laughed a few times, so she was not happy.
She laughed heartily, but to some people it sounded unrestrained mockery.
Song Zhixi quietly stood by and watched, but Fu Niangzi turned to look at her and said, "Otherwise, it's still me ......."
"Mrs. Fu, don't bother with you." Finally, the baby in the carriage spoke softly.
β¦β¦
Entering Songhe Hall, the group stopped in the vestibule and began to pack up, and Song Zhixi planned to thank him and take the opportunity to withdraw.
Ah Wu walked over, looked her up and down, as if remembering something, began to smile slyly, waved his hand, and called a handyman who ran to the hall, saying that he was taking her to the back hall.
Song Zhixi would not fail to see that this woman named Ah Wu seemed to think that she had seen through her identity, and her expression became very contemptuous.
Song Zhixi didn't think so, and finally pretended to be a maidservant and came in, as long as there was a way to get out.
She was taken to the back hall this time, and the cook's wife stood in front of the corner door with a firewood stick and scolded angrily, and Song Zhixi was bluffed by a loud voice as soon as he arrived.
"Splash, can you do itβ" The cook-lady suddenly stopped and raised her eyebrows at the door, "Pink?!" Yo, aren't you sick and on leave, and the steward has approved it, and you've only been away for a few days? Why did you come back the next day? β
Song Zhixi saw the cook's wife calling her over, and couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and give the guy an inquiring look.
The guy rolled his eyes, "Look at what I'm doing, Miss Ah Wu said, don't think that you can sneak away and be lazy with a little white face." Go! Get back to work! β
The music in the Songhe Hall is exquisite, and the scattered drum beat adds a bit of lightness to the scene.
Many people stopped and walked in the corridor hall outside the elegant seat, and the warm light of the floor-to-ceiling silk lamp reflected the ruddy faces of the passers-by and their emotions were full.
Song Zhixi took the opportunity to enter the hall with a plate, and stopped and walked around the venue to find the target figure. A porcelain plate of jasper cake was served by her for a few reincarnations, which may have caused several guests to look at her in confusion.
Although he didn't find anyone, he was able to get out of the back kitchen, thinking of the big voice of the kitchen lady, Song Zhixi was relieved, and thought, fortunately, "she" is not a fire girl......
When she staggered from the side of the seater, she was pulled suddenly, and she let out a low cry, trying to stabilize her body and lift the plate upwards - the plate stopped in the air for a moment. In the blink of an eye, she had easily gathered her cardigan, held the porcelain plate that had been moved to her right hand with one hand, and glanced to the side with puzzled eyes.
He didn't sit on the throne for long, and then he saw someone restlessly doing something to a servant, he didn't care much, but he didn't expect that a small handmaiden could also have such a neat movement, which shows that his skills are not simple.
But as soon as the woman turned around, he immediately felt that he was stunned, and he would have a delusion.
Do you think that Song Zhixi, who can only climb the wall with a little three-legged cat, is extraordinary?
He curled his finger bones and clasped the table, motioning for the woman to put a snack here, "Huh? How did you end up here? β
A simple sentence, like a cordial greeting between familiar people, Song Zhixi was surprised, he didn't mean to expose her.
Those boys who were going to watch the excitement coughed their throats to relieve the embarrassment, they casually found an excuse, shouted that they wanted to eat and drink, and funnily pushed the brother who took the lead in teasing away.
"You shouldn't have come here at all, what nonsense."
The voice of the county king Qingyue came again without hurry, but it made Song Zhixi's mood that was gradually becoming emotional change suddenly.
She didn't agree with the first half of the sentence, she was just secretly slandering, but as soon as the word "nonsense" came out, she immediately changed her mind, and replied respectfully with a smile, "I didn't come to you after all." β
"If you don't have the ability to clean up the mess, don't indulge your fickle emotions." He Zhi said coldly, "Alert you, don't get involved in the affairs of the political party, if it is involved, I have always been right about things and not people, don't blame me for being ruthless." β
Just met, and in less than half an hour, a confrontation situation formed.
Sure enough, the pain and troubles accumulated in my mind for half a year came to my heart again.
She was tempted to say that most of her killings were indirectly caused by him, so how could she get involved in the disputes between them?
Is it okay for her to avoid it?
"You don't have to warn and intimidate me." Song Zhixi smiled and made a perfect blessing salute, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I, Song Moumou, only hope that you and I can avoid conflicts of interest." β
