Let's say that after the red medicine drilled the dog hole, he secretly returned to the back cover room, and lay down to rest lightly, but was not discovered by other subordinates.

Early the next morning, Hongyao was sent by a fire-burning maid who was a few years older than her to clean up the yard.

At this time, there were still some masters in the house who did not get up, so Hongyao took a broom made of bamboo branches and taller than her to the place between the door of the house and the door of the weeping flower and began to sweep it, and then turned to the courtyard when she had almost cleaned the place.

She took a broom and began to sweep from the outside in, for fear of disturbing the masters who were still asleep.

There was an orderly rustle on the ground, and the slender bamboo branches rubbed against the ground, leaving a clean place soon.

The morning air is damp and moist, and the small-leaved boxwood planted in the garden is dotted with crystal clear water droplets, making the already green leaves even brighter.

The air was mixed with a faint scent of pine trees, a faint smell of grass, and a faint smell of earth, the red medicine sniffed hard, and a cool air entered the mouth along the nose, and then entered the lungs from the mouth, and when she exhaled, she suddenly felt refreshed.

She held the broom, and her mood couldn't help but be much lighter, and the work in her hands became more energetic.

When she swept to the west wing, a maid who was not much different in age from her hurriedly walked to her side, and made a shushing gesture with her hand, and whispered: "When the master has not gotten up, he is not allowed to clean in front of the door, no one teaches you this?" ”

Hongyao was stunned for a moment, unconsciously hugged the broom into his arms, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

The little maid didn't make it difficult for her, and said, "Do you remember the daily cleaning of the courtyard after the masters have breakfast?" Let's go. ”

"Come here." Hongyao was holding the big broom to the ear room, when she heard someone calling her from behind, so she turned to look; At this time, Mu Chen was wearing a white middle coat and standing outside the door of the east wing, looking at her.

Hongyao looked around again, and when she found that she was the only one, she came to Muchen with a broom and said respectfully: "Young Master, what is the matter with you looking for a slave?" ”

Mu Chen looked at the broom in Hongyao's arms, which was much taller than her, it was really a little funny, and he smiled: "The basin in my house has been overturned and spilled with water, you go and clean it up." ”

"Yes." Red Medicine replied, she looked around again, put the broom upright outside the door, and walked in.

As soon as Hongyao crossed the threshold, he saw a log square table facing the door, and a round jade container was placed at the opposite corner of the square table, and black and white chess pieces were placed in the container.

She turned her head to look at the right hand, a huge screen about four meters long and three meters high appeared in front of her, with one landscape painting after another, Hongyao turned her head to look at the left hand side, extending about two meters from the wall inside, there is a log hollow carved pattern standing in it, about two meters long and about two meters high, and then extending outward, it is an unobstructed open space, and you can clearly see the furnishings inside from the outside.

A desk for use faces west, and behind the desk is a soft floor about one meter wide and two meters long, on which a small coffee table is placed.

Hongyao turned his head and looked at the curtain dust in confusion, didn't he say that the water was spilled on the ground? Why didn't she see it?

The curtain dust crossed over her, opened the screen on the right, and Hongyao's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the furnishings inside.

Mu Chen looked at the red medicine and said with a smile: "This is the screen, it can be folded, you try it." ”

As if someone had cast a spell, the body slowly approached the screen uncontrollably, she raised her right hand and gently stroked it, the red medicine was not in a hurry to pull, but carefully stroked, this was the first time she had seen such a magical thing, and she was inevitably surprised in her heart.

She gave it a gentle push, like a treasure, not daring to push too hard, lest she accidentally hurt it; The screen does not move.

"A little more effort." Mu Chen commanded with a smile.

Hongyao looked up at him, and after getting the affirmation in the other party's eyes, she pushed the screen hard, and sure enough, she could push it, so she pushed it back and forth a few times, and suddenly remembered that the purpose of her coming here was to clean the dirty water on the ground, not to play how to push the screen, Hongyao smiled awkwardly and said: "Please forgive the eldest young master, the slave will go to clean." ”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

When she returned to the east wing, she already had an extra rag in her hand, and a wooden basin, she put the rag on the ground, and then began to wipe it everywhere, and when the rag was full of water, she screwed it into the basin with all her strength.

While changing clothes in front of her, Mu Chen said, "Hongyao, have you ever thought about not being a handyman in the future?" ”

"I've thought about it, but it's going to have to wait until three years are over." Hongyao replied while rubbing the ground seriously.

Mu Chen was about to open his mouth to ask, when an anxious and joyful voice came from outside the door: "Master Da, I have re-fetched a basin of water for you, sprinkled on the ground, and the slave and maid will clean it up." ”

This is the personal maid next to Mu Chen, when he brought him face washing water in the morning, he accidentally knocked over the basin on the basin shelf, and hurriedly went back to the ear room to get a rag, but he met Mama Li on the road, saying that there was something to find her, no, he delayed for a while.

The personal maid stared at a pair of almond eyes, and then scolded: "Who are you?" Who let you into the eldest young master's room? ”

Hongyao looked up at the personal maid with a sullen face, pointed in the direction of Muchen and said, "He asked me to come." ”

The personal maid looked at Mu Chen in disbelief, but the next side suddenly covered her eyes, Hongyao looked at her red pretty face, and looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, who knows, his entire chest is being exposed.

Then, Hongyao turned his head indifferently and continued to wipe the ground, at this time, Mu Chen said lightly: "You go out first." ”

Hongyao put away the rag, put it on the edge of the wooden basin, got up and was about to leave, who knows, Muchen said again: "Hongyao, you stay." ”

The personal maid let go of her hands at this time, immediately knelt down, looked at Mu Chen aggrievedly and said: "Young master, the slave and maid did not deliberately knock over the basin, please give the slave and maid another chance, don't drive the slave and maid away, you can beat or punish if you want, just don't drive the slave and maid away." ”

Hongyao squatted on the ground awkwardly and continued to wipe the ground, but a sad voice kept coming from her ears, and finally, she still spoke: "Young Master, the slave and maid retreat first." ”

Mu Chen slowly buttoned his clothes and said, "Peony, you go down first." ”

Peony is the name of Mu Chen's personal maid, she has tears in her eyes, and she wants to speak, but when she sees the sternness in Mu Chen's eyes, she is unwilling to stop.

Peony covered her mouth with one hand and ran away as if flying.

Hongyao said dumbfoundedly: "She cried." ”

Mu Chen just hummed faintly and said no more.

"The slave has finished cleaning, so let's retreat first."

"You can stay by my side in the future and be my personal maid."

"But you're not ......" Before Hongyao finished speaking, Mu Chen said: "You see, my personal maid doesn't serve me anymore." ”

Hongyao yelled in his heart: That's not what you drove people away by yourself!

"Young Master, I still have my own work to do, and I can't keep busy, why don't I go and chase that sister back now?" Red Medicine smiled and wanted to leave.

"No need, since people don't want to, it's useless to force it." Mu Chen said lightly.

Hongyao couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the lying master in front of him, and couldn't help but slander: People obviously don't want to leave, but you have to drive people away, and you made other girls cry, but now it's a rake.

"Why are you still stunned? Come and change my clothes. ”

Hongyao was stunned and motionless and said, "Young Master, don't make fun of me." After saying that, he ran away with a puff of smoke.

Mu Chen looked at Hongyao, who was running faster than a rabbit, as if a big bad wolf was chasing her behind her, and suddenly laughed.
