Chapter 56: Symbols of Status

Looking at Su Bai, Cao Yong couldn't help but shed tears.

"If I'm gone, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be bullied by anyone." Hot tears flowed from Cao Yong's eyes, he always felt that people should live in the world openly, but he didn't want to be calculated, this time I am afraid that he will never see Su Bai again.

"Brother Cao, don't talk nonsense, with me, I'll rescue you now." Su Bai directly reached out to untie the chain, regardless of the consequences.

"Silly girl, don't be impulsive, cough cough cough ......" Cao Yong coughed excitedly.

"I lied to you, I don't understand, I want someone else to help Brother Cao untie it, come, eat something first." Su Bai continued to feed Cao Yong food.

"Girl, don't do anything stupid." Cao Yong was very worried, he thought of what Su Bai said yesterday, and suddenly panicked, "It doesn't matter if I am unjustly killed, you don't have to protect me, as long as you are well." ”

After Su Bai finished feeding the food, he put the bowl into the cloth bag, and everything was in order.

"Brother Cao, who is the good young master in this mansion?"

"I won't say it, and don't bother with me." Cao Yong knew Su Bai's thoughts in an instant.

Su Bai glanced at Cao Yong, slightly reproachful, "If you don't say I'll ask others, others will definitely tell me." ”

"Oh, why are you so tough."

"I want to save you, because you were the one who saved me from the fire, and without you there would be no me."

There was a fire in the kitchen five years ago, no one thought that there were still people sleeping in it at night, and Su Bai because of the shadow left on the fire in the early years, he would be distracted when the fire burned on weekdays, if it wasn't for Cao Yong who had been thinking about Su Bai, I am afraid that Su Bai would have been burned alive.

At this time, Cao Yong understood that Su Bai regarded him as a life-saving benefactor.

"There are fifteen masters in the house, and now there are only thirteen left, and except for the fourteenth master, the minds of the other masters are not simple." Cao Yong has been a guard in the city lord's mansion for many years, and he will also intersect with the mansion on weekdays, and slowly know some things.

It's just that some things rot in the stomach and don't say it, he can sit here all the time, thanks to his prudent words and deeds.

Su Bai took the cloth bag and walked cautiously all the way back to the kitchen, this was the first time she came out, and her heart was beating like a drum.

"Little thief, where are you going? Show me what treasure you stole from you? A voice came from in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai, who was looking at the back, was startled, and when she turned around, there was really a big living person, and she was on the ground with her buttocks, and her face turned pale with fright.

"Hey, it's still a beautiful embryo." This person is wearing a brocade robe, with a mandarin duck pendant around his waist, a landscape fan in his hand, blue boots on his feet, slender eyebrows, a smile in his eyes, a high nose, ruddy lips, and a somewhat joking voice.

"What are you scaring me for?" Su Bai got up from the ground and took out the cloth bag, "It's just a broken bowl, if you want it, I'll give it to you." "Unwrap the cloth bag, and there is only one bowl in it.

"Okay, you little thief, you came to the house to steal the bowl at night, go, I'll take you to my yard for good interrogation." After the man finished speaking, he reached out to grab Su Bai.

Don't look at Su Bai as just a female streamer, her strength is not small, and she has the strength to practice with firewood on weekdays.

She took the bowl and rushed straight to it, and in an instant put the man on the ground.

Su Bai touched his head and looked at the man fiercely, "Don't think I'm a bully, I'm also a person in this house, so I'm not a thief, you don't have to wronged a good person." With that, he went to the kitchen.

"Hey, why are you really angry? Wait for me, you're going to scare people at night. The man got up from the ground and ran after Su Bai.

"So you're the kitchen firegirl, do you know who I am? How dare you knock me to the ground. The man stood at the door of the kitchen, thinking about what had just happened, he felt funny, he had been in the house for many years, and he had never seen such a bold little girl.

"I don't care who you are, you hurry up, or I'm going to beat someone." Su Bai held the burning stick, and was suddenly full of confidence.

The man was really frightened by Su Bai's momentum, and took a step back, but he was reluctant to leave.

"My surname is God, and my name is enlightened." The man reported his name.

Shen Ting is the surname of the city lord's mansion at the beginning of the creation of Lonely Bamboo City, and even the name of the little maid must be added in front of Shen Ting, but the name after it is a symbol of identity.

Although Su Bai is just a fire girl, the mother-in-law will say something on weekdays.

"You are the fourteenth young master?" Su Bai looked at Fourteen Enlightenment in surprise, is there such a coincidental thing in this world? She hadn't thought about how to meet this fourteenth young master yet, but she didn't expect this person to appear in front of her.

"Yes, you're scared now? Want to get down on your knees and kowtow to me to apologize? Fourteen Wu looked at Su Bai, with a slight expectation in his eyes.

Su Bai's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly, "Fourteenth Master, you just bumped into the slave, you should apologize." ”

Fourteen Wu felt very strange, I don't know what this little girl thinks, why should he apologize?

"Let's talk about it, how do you want the master to compensate you?"

"I heard that Mrs. Eighth Master had a miscarriage, and the slave maid wanted the Fourteenth Master to help find out the person who poisoned her," Su Bai did not beat around the bush, she could see that this Fourteenth Master was really not a bad person, and he was a little childish.

Hearing Su Bai's words, Fourteen Wu remembered that he had just met this girl near the dungeon, and it seemed that this girl had something to do with Cao Yong.

"Even if I have the heart to save people, I can't do anything, I'm afraid there is only one person in this house who has such ability."

Hearing this, Su Bai retracted in his heart what he had just said that Fourteen Enlightenment was not a bad person, this person was still bad, and he didn't dare to do what he did, so he wanted to call someone else.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Forget it, if you don't want to know, I won't talk about it. Fourteen turned around and was about to leave.

Su Bai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Fourteenth Master, you can tell who it is." ”

"The difference between my eldest brother and my second brother is fifteen years old, and now the second brother is about the same age as the eldest brother's son, and the eldest brother's son has a son who is the same age as my fifteenth brother, and the second brother has no children now, not only the second brother, except for the eldest brother who has a son, the rest of the brothers have no children, so can you guess who the person I am talking about?"

After hearing this, Su Bai only felt that this old city lord was really strange, why did he give birth to the second young master after fifteen years.

It is worth mentioning that the old city lord did not have a daughter, no matter which lady was in the house, she gave birth to a son.

"Dad's favorite thing on weekdays is the fifteenth brother and my only nephew, my fifteenth brother is okay, but my nephew has a withdrawn personality since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will be difficult to approach."

I'm afraid it's hard to approach, is that what she means to go to the fifteenth master? Su Bai pondered carefully after the fourteenth enlightenment left.

But Cao Yong said that except for the fourteenth master, the rest are not credible, and this fourteenth master is already scheming, she is afraid that even if she goes to find the fifteenth master, I am afraid it will not help.

The next night, Su Bai went to the dungeon again to deliver food, this time Cao Yong was not beaten, he was very relieved to see Su Bai coming, and said some words, probably to let Su Bai go to his house after his death, take care of his old mother, he has told Su Bai the location of the money he has saved for so many years.

Su Bai didn't hear it, and only cared about feeding.

"Brother Cao, do you know where the great-grandson of the old city lord lives?"

"What are you asking for?" Cao Yong was puzzled, seeing that Su Bai didn't speak, he didn't think much about it, "I have been on duty in the mansion for many years, and I haven't seen this little young master, I only heard that he lives in Yushuzhai in the North Courtyard, and I also heard that the little young master has been weak and sick since he was a child, and it is inconvenient to see people." ”

"Oh. No wonder I haven't heard the grandmothers mention this person. ”

Su Bai put away the cloth bag, turned around and hurried out of here.

When she returned to the kitchen, she put down the cloth bag and found a map hidden under the clods, which marked the terrain of the house, and when she looked closely, this Yushu Zhai was actually on the other side of the kitchen, even if it was night, I am afraid that it would be discovered before she was halfway through.

How good is that?

The next day, Su Bai heard about something, the steward wanted to find a maid for Yu Shuzhai, saying that he was going to take care of the little master, and the steward came directly to the kitchen and took Su Bai out alone.

"Why slaves? The slave maid is just a fire-burning maid. Su Bai cautiously followed the steward all the way.

"It's your girl's good life, someone recommended you to go to Yushu Zhai to enjoy happiness." The housekeeper said in a weird manner, not wanting to tell Su Bai the truth of the matter at all.

Is there a shortage of maids in Yushu Zhai? This is not lacking, because this little young master is very favored on weekdays, and he has to be served by more than a dozen maids for three meals a day, which is extremely fine.

Su Bai is still a fire girl when she arrives here, this Yushu Zhai has an independent kitchen, and the dishes that enter the mouth on weekdays have to be tested repeatedly with silver needles, and they are cautious to the extreme.

"You will live here in the future, don't walk around casually on weekdays, if you annoy the little master, be careful of your cheap life." The grandmother in the yard was fierce, and brought plain white to a dilapidated house, although it was a rare single-family house, but it was very simple, the windows were in tatters, and it must be very cold at night.

On the first day, Su Bai found wood and stared at the window, although there was no light, it was much warmer, and the room with a big palm could only put two beds, and one bed took up half of the space.

At night she was more tired than in the main courtyard, because the little master had not slept in the early morning, and there was no other fire-burning girl, only she was watching the fire alone, holding the burning stick on her cheeks, and she was in a daze.

It was pitch black outside, and I felt a slight coolness.

The maids of Yushuzhai are all dressed up very beautifully, and they are still chatting very energetically at such a late hour, and they go in and out from time to time to serve something.

In the second half of the night, there were many fewer maids and sisters in the kitchen, and only two were still guarding, in order to make up the soup tomorrow morning.

Yawning, the two maid sisters couldn't stand it anymore, and the two went outside to chat about the idle day, and they fell asleep on the table while chatting.

Su Bai added some firewood to the stove, and after watching the fire burn slowly for an hour or two, she quietly slipped out of the kitchen.
