After Ling Xun left, not long after, a round-faced maid walked in with food, "Miss Jing, please use it." ”

"Thank you, what's your name?" Huo Sijin naturally took the dishes and chopsticks, but did not eat immediately, but chatted with the round-faced maid.

The round-faced maid replied with a smile: "Miss Jing has tormented the slave maid, and the slave maid is called Xiaolan." Childe has already instructed, let Xiaolan serve Miss Jing, it is the duty of a slave to serve the girl, Miss Jing, don't thank you again. ”

Huo Sijin sighed lightly, "Ling Gongzi saved my life, and now he specially asked you to serve me, I really don't want to go in my heart." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huo Sijin seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Xiaolan, let me ask you something, can Ling Gongzi's parents live in the house?" I'm an outsider living here, so it stands to reason that I should say hello to the host's house. ”

In other words, is Ling Xun the only master here?

"This Jing girl doesn't have to worry." Xiaolan replied with a smile, "My son-in-law is from Linzhou, and he bought this mansion just for the convenience of going to Beijing to catch the exam. Therefore, the owner here is only the son, and Miss Jing can live with peace of mind. ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin's face relaxed, and he chuckled: "I see, then I will rest assured." ”

Xiaolan smiled at Huo Sijin, and pointed to the dishes on the table, "Miss Jing, you can eat something first, otherwise the food will be cold in a while, and it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Huo Sijin reacted at this time, "As soon as I spoke, I forgot about it." ”

She picked up the chopsticks and hesitated for a moment before picking up the dish and bringing it to her mouth. The maid brought a porridge and side dishes, obviously considering that she had injuries on her body, and her diet should be light. Although she didn't know who Ling Xun was, judging from her current performance, the other party had no obvious malice. In this case, there is no problem with this meal, and you can eat it with confidence......

While eating, Huo Sijin suddenly exclaimed, startling Xiaolan, "Miss Jing, what's wrong with you?" ”

Huo Sijin frowned, as if he was about to cry, "Will the people who chase me find here, if those bad people come to the door, then won't I be burdened by Ling Gongzi and all the people here." ”

Xiaolan patted her chest, exhaled a long breath, and said with a chuckle: "The slave thought it was something, but it turned out to be this." Miss Jing, you don't have to worry, our son walked all the way from Linzhou to the capital, the road is far away, the old man thought that it might not be safe on this road early on, so he sent a lot of guards to follow the son, these guards are all very good at martial arts, and they are not afraid of bad guys. ”

"Really?" Huo Sijin looked incredulous, "But there are more than a dozen people chasing and killing me, can these guards deal with the ground?" ”

Xiaolan nodded again and again, "Of course you can, although there are only five guards around Gongzi, but all of them are good hands, and it is no longer a problem to be ten when one is one, Miss Jing, you can relax." ”

"Uh-oh." Huo Sijin nodded thoughtfully, if Xiaolan didn't lie, then this is the way it is, Ling Xun came from out of town, with five strong guards with martial arts, this mansion was bought by Ling Xun after he came here, and this Xiaolan was probably also a maid who was bought from outside after Ling Xun bought the mansion. Therefore, the conclusion drawn from Xiaolan's words was the same as the conclusion she had drawn after testing Ling Xun before.

But whether Ling Xun is a rich scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, whether this is a fact, or whether he deliberately created an image in front of outsiders, this is not known for the time being.

Alone in a strange place, Huo Sijin always remained vigilant.

It was determined that Xiaolan could not get any other useful information for the time being, so Huo Sijin did not ask any more questions, and went to bed peacefully.

After about half an hour, Huo Sijin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes again, dressed lightly, and then quietly walked to the door.

Gently pushed the door open, Huo Sijin didn't walk out of the door, but saw Xiaolan hurriedly coming over, "Miss Jing, do you have any instructions?" ”

"Xiaolan, it's so late, why are you still here?" Huo Sijin was shocked

"Childe said that Miss Jing was alone in a strange place, and she would definitely be a little worried, so let the slave keep vigil." Xiaolan explained.

Hearing this, Huo Sijin frowned slightly, "Vigil? That's too much trouble for you, isn't it? Xiaolan, it's really hard for you. "Sending a maid to keep vigil is either because the other party is indeed a good person who is willing to give, or because he sends someone to spy on her.

Comparatively, the second option is more likely. The more impeccable Ling Xun behaved, the more suspicious Huo Sijin became.

Xiaolan shook her head, "It's okay, it's easy to do work here, it's not hard." Miss Jing, if you have anything to do, just tell the slave and maid. ”

Huo Sijin smiled shyly, "I want to go to the toilet." His voice was low, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Xiaolan patted her head, "It turns out that this is the case, the slave and maid were negligent, and the slave and maid will take you there." ”

After returning from Gongfang, Huo Sijin didn't say anything more, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the other party, she didn't go out again, and simply lay on the bed and fell asleep.

She was always worried in her heart, so she couldn't sleep very deeply like in the East Palace, just closed her eyes to recuperate, she was really sleepy, and then she fell into a light sleep, and once there was a sound of wind blowing leaves around her, she immediately woke up.

This night, I slept very poorly. So much so that when Huo Sijin got up the next day, there was a dark blue in the corners of his eyes.

When she got up early, Xiaolan brought water and waited for Huo Sijin to freshen up, and when she saw the dark green in the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jing, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Huo Sijin's skin is fair, and the traces of this dark blue are particularly obvious.

Huo Sijin's tone was more helpless and helpless, "The wound hurts a little, and I really don't sleep well." ”

"Well, I don't know who is so bad." Xiaolan frowned and said, "When the slave saw the injuries on your body at that time, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. ”

Her tone was full of sympathy, even a slight anger, and there was no sign of disguise.

Huo Sijin secretly said in his heart: This Xiaolan seems to be just an ordinary maid, with a lively temperament, and her mouth doesn't seem to be tight, but in fact, she can't get really useful information from her mouth. Probably this is also the reason why Ling Xun asked Xiaolan to serve her closely.

"I don't know who it is, I originally thought that the capital was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it should be very safe, who knew that I would meet bad people." Huo Sijin sighed lightly.

Xiaolan comforted Huo Sijin instead, "There are bad people, but there are also good people, Miss Jing, don't you say?" ”

Huo Sijin smiled, "Your son-in-law is a good person." ”

Xiaolan nodded again and again, "The slave thinks so too." ”

Seeing Xiaolan nodding like a chicken pecking rice, Huo Sijin sighed in her heart, she really hoped that Ling Xun was a good person. She doesn't want to live so tired, and she has to consider whether others have ill intentions all day long. But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say for sure.

"Miss Jing, the slave maid brought you a new dress, and the slave maid is waiting for you to change into it?"

Huo Sijin looked at the clothes in Xiaolan's hand, white brocade, and light blue patterns were embroidered on it, obviously this was a woman's clothes. She couldn't help but purse the corners of her lips, she had always been a man's dress, she had never worn a woman's dress, she was dressed as a woman.

"Miss Jing, it's safe here, you don't have to worry about bad people, besides, the clothes on your body are torn, you might as well change them." Xiaolan was worried that the other party would think that this was the maid's clothes, so she hurriedly explained, "This is the child's specially sent person to buy it, not the clothes of the slave maid." ”

"How beautiful this dress is, Miss Jing must be very beautiful in it."

Xiaolan's last words fell on Huo Sijin's ears, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on this dress again, since she made Huo Changjin, she hadn't worn a women's dress once, she was actually longing, and she was very longing.

In the Jingbei Hou Mansion, she didn't dare, and in the East Palace, she didn't dare.

Now, here, the other party already knows that she is a woman, and it doesn't matter whether she wears women's clothes or not. If she refuses, it will attract suspicion.

Thinking about it like this, Huo Sijin did not object, and changed into a woman's dress.

The white undergarment with a few small blue flowers embroidered on the neckline is perfect for the light blue underskirt. Xiaolan originally wanted to comb her hair in a beautiful bun, but Huo Sijin refused on the grounds that she liked simple styles in her daily life, so Xiaolan only tied a knot with a hairband of the same color.

This dress seems to be tailor-made for her, the size is just right, and even the color and pattern match her perfectly.

"Miss Jing, you are so good-looking." Xiaolan couldn't help but praise.

Huo Sijin touched his face and smiled shyly.

Not only Xiao Lan was amazed, but even Ling Xun was shocked for the first time when he came over to see her, and his eyes changed color, "You ......"
