Chapter 39: If You Have a Chance
The newly baked second-class maid Rose packed up her things and followed Mama Wu to Qingcang Courtyard, which is not small, not only with an upper room and a side room, but also a small kitchen.
In the center of the yard, a piece of Taihu Lake stone is placed, a few peach trees are planted in the southwest place against the wall, the peach blossoms are blooming, a tree is pink and white like frost and snow, although the scenery is beautiful, but the courtyard is very deserted.
Yusang was sweeping in the courtyard, and when he heard the movement, he saw that Mama Wu had brought someone here, and immediately went back to invite Mama Qin.
When Mama Qin came out, the two middle-aged women politely said a few words, and after Mama Wu explained the origin of Rose, she left.
Mama Qin turned her head to look at Rose, and saw that she was born beautiful, and her eyes were very clever, obviously a thoughtful one, and her heart suddenly rose with displeasure.
Mama Qin took her to the lower room in the backyard, pointed to the side of Yuetan's room and said coldly: "You just rest in that room, put down your baggage, and follow me to meet the young master." ”
Rose obediently put down her burden, and she didn't have time to take a sip of water, so she followed Mama Qin into the hall.
Entering the east room, Rose waited outside the ebony eight screens on the right hand, and through the edge, she spied a corner of the precious yellow cloth, and she wondered in her heart, could it be that the young master of the big family also likes such bright colors?
Mama Qin ignored her, lightly bypassed the screen, and said softly: "Young master, the old lady sent a waiting maid over, do you want to see it?" ”
"Nope." Li Jingming's voice was low and cold, which was prohibitive.
Mama Qin agreed, and came out to prepare to send Rose: "You go back first, and come over again if you have orders." ”
Rose lowered her head and shuddered, blessed herself, and ran back to her room.
Inside the house, Yue Tan peeked at Li Jingming and said with a teasing smile: "Young master, this little girl is still very fond of you." ”
Li Jingming's aesthetic of women is different from that of most men in the Great Qin Dynasty, he does not like the kind of fairy women who are delicate and weak, as if a gust of wind can blow people away, but prefers healthy, mellow, energetic and independent warrior women.
For example, Yuetan is like this.
Li Jingming glanced at her lightly, his dark eyes were deep and quiet, and he looked at Yuetan calmly and calmly for a moment, staring at her until she lowered her head in embarrassment, and then hooked the corners of his lips to tease.
"I think I've been so used to you lately, I've learned to tease me, so don't hurry up and study ink."
Yue Tan shrugged her shoulders slightly, didn't dare to joke anymore, and continued to travel the duties of a personal maid.
Li Jingming threw the book in his hand on the table, thought for a while, and decided to give a few henchmen sweet dates, the old lady's sudden behavior made him a little uneasy: "Wisteria is about to get married, you and Roland should be promoted to the first rank, and then the jade sangti will be second." ”
Yuetan happily agreed, and finally could have her own room.
In the next few days, Yuetan was busy helping Wisteria get married, and the two second-class maids were led by Roland.
Yuetan saw that the newcomer Rose only helped to do rough work in the yard every day, and did not go to Li Jingming to be conspicuous at all, and sighed that the old lady was quite honest this time.
When Roland heard this, she was very unimpressed, and she told Yuetan that many times it is often dogs that don't bark that bite people!
Soon, Yue Tan was sure that he was really not as experienced as Roland in knowing people.
In the afternoon of this day, Yuetan saw that the flowers and branches in the house were about to wither, so she took scissors tied with red silk cloth and a basket made of bamboo to cut apricot blossoms in the garden.
After cutting the needed flower branches, she wanted to be lazy in the garden, go around and go back, but overestimated her physical strength, and she couldn't walk halfway through, so she found a stone platform on the inside of the rockery and sat down to rest for a while.
The landscape in the garden is specially arranged, rockery stone forest, layered and covered, meandering, quite wild, if people want to hide, it is really not easy to find.
Not long after Yue Tan sat down, she heard a chaotic footstep coming from a distance, and soon stopped in front of the rockery, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
She wanted to go out with the basket, but as soon as she took a step, she heard a familiar name, so she had to retreat back to the rockery and hide in order not to cause trouble.
The two maids were talking about Li Jingming in a whisper, and one of the maids with a slightly delicate voice said: "Didn't you see, at that time, the people were beaten so that their clothes were oozing blood, and when they were dragged out all the way, there was blood all over the stone steps from the green bricks in the courtyard to the door!" It scared me, and now that I think about it, my hands and feet are cold! ”
Another maid with a slightly sweet voice said in a trembling voice: "Then she really wasted the opportunity to serve by the third young master's side in vain!" ”
The delicate maid disagreed: "Are you serious? The third young master's side is not a good place, why bother to suffer this? ”
The sweet maid didn't care: "That's that maid is useless!" Look at Sister Yuetan, what kind of scenery is the silk and satin brocade and jade food? ”
Besides, in the entire British Mansion, the most outstanding-looking young master is the third young master, who became a poem at the age of seven, and became famous at the age of ten.
Jiao Ya hesitated for a moment, then tightened her thin jacket, shook her head and denied: "No, I don't have the same skin as Sister Yuetan, besides, I ...... I didn't have a chance to go to the Third Young Master's side. ”
The sweet maid had another opinion, she snorted coquettishly, and her tone was seductive: "Then what if you are given the opportunity to go to the third young master's side?" ”
