Chapter 15: The Peacock Becomes a Quail
Mi Xing was still carefully planning for Qin Xinxin: "Early tomorrow morning, I heard that Mrs. Wu Mansion will buy that maidservant, and when the time comes, I will order someone to stop her at the right time, and you will ask her for her deed." When she entered the Qin Mansion, she had no one to rely on except you, plus you saved her three or four times, regardless of previous suspicions, she could only hug your thighs at that time and be loyal to you. ”
Qin Xinxin pursed her lips and sighed, nodding silently.
It was rare for Mi Xing to see Qin Xinxin and this supple appearance. In the past, I saw that she was in a straight posture, even if she fell at the feet of Wei Ren, although her body was soft, but her heart was harder than cold iron, but she was just a fake show of weakness, waiting to touch the bottom and kill, but at this time, seeing her helpless sorrow inadvertently, he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, he didn't control himself for a while, his hand gently climbed on her shoulder, until he touched the softness, and hurriedly changed it to a pat, and comforted in a low voice: "Have a good rest, don't think too much." ”
Qin Xinxin suddenly grabbed the placket of his clothes that he wanted to get up and leave, and asked a question that he didn't seem to want to do: "That Fu Jinzhi's name doesn't look like a Dawan person?" ”
Mi Xing couldn't help but smile gloomily, it turned out that her head was not because she was reluctant to separate, but she was still calculating and planning, but she didn't know that she suddenly thought of Fu Jinzhi, but she was always different when she treated Qin Xinxin, so Mi Xing still explained to her in a good-natured manner: "Fu Jinzhi is indeed not a Dawan person. He should be a fellow countryman with you, both of them are Ye people, but I heard that when he was a child, his grandfather was involved in a rebellion case, so the whole family was sentenced to be beheaded all over the house, and Fu Jinzhi was still in infancy at that time, so he was secretly rescued by loyal servants, fled to Wei, and transferred to Dawan when he was four or five years old. ”
"We Dawan don't have words, the heralds are all based on memory, Fu Jinzhi grew up in Dawan since he was a child, so he is proficient in Dawan language, and he is not worse than our Dawan people. And then he was in my father's... Abu's subordinate served as a herald in the battalion of soldiers, and because he had an excellent memory, he could memorize orders word for word, no matter how long and complicated, and there was never a mistake in the heralds, so he quickly attracted the attention of my Abu and was transferred to his battalion. ”
"My second brother and I also taught the Chinese language of Fu Jinzhi, and this time I sent the envoy Abu of the Kingdom of Ye to order him to come together, and it did not mean that he would humiliate your emperor and avenge his family."
When Qin Xinxin heard this, he secretly wrote down all the words of the stars. Although Fu Jinzhi's appearance seemed to be just a subordinate sent by the second brother of Mixing, she always felt that this person was not simple, it was by no means as simple as an ordinary interpreter, since he was burdened with blood and sweat, he didn't know which major case of rebellion he was involved in back then, and the whole family was raided and destroyed.
It's a pity that I don't know anything about the court of Ye Guo and have no clue, so I wrote down this matter in my heart.
I only heard Mi Xing continue: "Anyway, in Dawan over the years, he never mentioned his past, but he was righteous, and his two brothers were half teachers and half friends, and the second brother never looked at him with ordinary subordinates. When I went to ask my second brother for an antidote, Fu Jinzhi also persuaded me..."
Qin Xinxin saw that there was still some protection for Fu Jinzhi in Mixing's mouth, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "No, I don't mean to blame him, I'm just curious to ask." But—" she paused, her eyes burning, "you should think about yourself...... Fu Jinzhi and you are also teachers and friends, but he can only be a subordinate of one person! ”
There was a bright light flickering at the bottom of the star's eyes, but it soon disappeared, and with only a long sigh, he patted the blanket that Qin Xinxin covered his body and said, "Don't say this in the future...... Sleep in peace, tomorrow..... Or leave early. ”
Qin Xinxin leaned on the bed rail, looking at the back of Mi Xing leaving, and was speechless......
Early in the morning of the second day, when she was still grooming, she saw the deed and the maidservant girl sent by Mi Xing, but to Qin Xin's surprise, she didn't expect that there was still a buy one get one free thing waiting for her.
She was sent by the star's own soldiers. But in addition to the maid who had provoked Qin Xinxin, there was another slightly older maid, who was carefully identified as the maid who tried to stop her from talking too much at that time.
After yesterday's turmoil, the girl who was still as proud as a peacock yesterday finally lowered her neck today, like a quail, and sighed into the door, bowing her head and not daring to speak.
However, the older maid was neither humble nor arrogant, and pulled her to kneel at Qin Xinxin's feet, respectfully wanting to kowtow.
Qin Xinxin hurriedly stopped them and told them to get up.
A guard who accompanied him explained to Qin Xinxin in Dawan language: "Lord Mixing asked the subordinates to tell the girl, and the other maid was also sent by the Wu family, saying that it was a gift without a singular number, and it was good to make a pair, and the deed of sale of the two of them was handed over to the girl." Saying that, he handed it with both hands, and after Qin Xinxin took it, he took a step back and stood up straight, and said, "My lord, please accept it, he has already inquired." Another maid was originally bought from outside by Wu Fu, according to the unwritten rules of the big households of Ye State, when she entered the house, she had to recognize a housekeeper as a godmother, and she usually had to serve the master in addition to serving the master, but also had to serve the godmother's family, and the monthly stipends issued by the master's family were also handed over to the godmother for safekeeping. On weekdays, in the backyard, she takes care of her godmother's daughter. Yesterday there was such a big thing, her godmother's biological daughter was almost beaten to death, and when she went back, this maid was beaten by her godmother, and the adults knew that the girl was kind-hearted, so she said that this girl could also be taken away: first, she was more knowledgeable than the arrogant maid, and she was also safe in doing things; Second, if she stays in Wu Mansion, she is afraid that she will be rubbed by the revenge of that godmother, and she will have to shed her skin if she does not die. It just so happened that there was a vacancy around the girl, and the Wu prefect also said that there was no maid around the young lady of the big family, and the girl might as well take both of them with her, and the two could also hinder each other. ”
Qin Xinxin sighed, Mi Xing was well-intentioned, but where did he need so many people to serve? According to her original plan, she was just a single person, the naked ones went in, the naked ones came out, without dragging, without worries, but now it's good, there are more and more people around her....
But everyone came, and it was not easy to send them back with such rhetoric, so I had to ask them gently: "What do you call them?" ”
Yesterday, the domineering maid said: "Originally, there was no big name at home, it was Niu Niu, Niu Niu's scream." After entering the old lady's house, the old lady gave her the name Pomegranate, hoping to have more children and more blessings. She paused, as if she had mustered up her courage and said as if flattering: "Now that I have come to Miss, I naturally don't need this name, and I ask Miss to give the slave a new name." ”
Qin Xinxin looked at the older maid again: "Because the slave maid was born in August, the family named it Osmanthus." Later, when I entered the house, my grandmother thought the name was vulgar and changed it to Muxi. ”
Qin Xinxin blinked, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, isn't Muxi just osmanthus, and where is who is more expensive than whom?
However, in two lifetimes, she has never used slaves, and she has always done it herself, and now she wants to name these two maids, which may be a headache for a while.
"In that case, let's use the original name." Qin Xinxin ordered to go down, and the wooden tree was really very eye-catching, and he cleaned his hands without telling him and was about to come over to serve Qin Xinxin for breakfast. The two of them are maids from a big family, as long as they are careful and polite, it is not bad for Qin Xinxin to be a little uncomfortable, and he stopped using chopsticks after a few bites.
It just so happened that Lao Li sent someone to spread the word, saying that the carriages and horses were all ready and ready to go on the road.
Qin Xinxin straightened his clothes a little and went out, he didn't have any luggage all the way, he had no long things and was light, but when he got into the carriage, Mixing still didn't appear, Qin Xinxin knew that Mixing would not come again, and he should continue to suffer from it, so it was okay.
So, she instructed Lao Li: "Let's go." ”
Pomegranate didn't know if she should put down the curtain of the car for a while, and she wanted to wait a little longer, but she suffered yesterday's loss and knew that she shouldn't make her own decisions, so she pulled the curtain and looked at Mu Xi hesitantly.
Mu Xi hurriedly glanced at her, and Qin Xinxin knew that these two people were probably beaten by Mi Xing last night, so they were so afraid of him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Fu Jinzhi came out of the Wu Mansion and walked towards Qin Xinxin.
