"Oh, I said Xiangning, what are you still doing in a daze? hurry up!" The housekeeper saw that she was still in a daze at this time, and she was so anxious that she was about to jump to her feet.

"Oh...... I, I'm going to ......" Xiang Ning was excited, and hurriedly went back to the kitchen with the tray in his hand.

When she came out of the kitchen again, she had the tools and materials needed to make tea in her hands, but her fair and delicate face was painted into a flower cat by the ash she took from the bottom of the pot, and she had no other way to do it, only to try to make herself look ugly, so that it was not easy to attract the attention of the Fang family.

There are some things in this world that are not satisfactory, and when she appeared in the Lotus Pavilion with the face of the flower cat, she immediately attracted the attention of the four "big people" in the pavilion.

Xiangning suddenly had a very bad feeling, and she seemed to be self-defeating.

"Xiangning, what are you doing?" Ding Laifu frowned and reprimanded with some displeasure.

Xiang Ning quickly knelt down, and said in a humble tone: "The old man is angry, slave and maid...... The slave maid was making tea for the young lady in the kitchen before, and accidentally fell, so ......"

Ding Wanyi glanced at her angrily when she heard this, "Why don't you hurry down, come back when you are fresh!"

Fang Sixian watched interestingly on the side, although he was not a woman, but there was never a shortage of women around him who were attentive to him, after a long time, with just one look and one movement, he could guess what these women were probably thinking.

Previously, he and his father and the master of the Ding family were enjoying the flowers by the lotus pond, and it was not until he sat in the lotus pavilion that the young lady of the Ding family was late, and it could be seen at a glance that she had put a lot of effort into dressing.

In all fairness, this young lady of the Ding family has a good looks, and a little powder is enough to charm many sons. It's just that Fang Sixian has already had some preconceived feelings about her, so seeing her so grandly decorated has a feeling of being too much.

The four of them gossiped in the lotus pavilion, mainly the two elders were talking, Fang Sixian just casually talked to Ding Wanyi out of politeness, and the sense of boredom in his heart became stronger and stronger.

It wasn't until this girl who was named by the master of the Ding family to make tea appeared in front of everyone with a cat's face that he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up.

The young ladies and maids he had seen before, as long as they were interested in him, none of them did not dress themselves up in a fancy way, just to let him look at them more.

But today, this girl is a little interesting, not only did she dress up beautifully, but she didn't even have the most basic etiquette, and she came out to serve the master and guests.

When he saw it, Fang Sixian thought that this girl was relying on such a counter-method to get his attention, but soon he found that things were not what he thought it was, because this girl didn't even glance at him and his father at all, and she didn't even have the heart to sneak a glance.

She seemed to be afraid of something, afraid to face something.

It wasn't until Miss Ding suppressed her anger and asked her to freshen up and come back and give her an unkind look, Fang Sixian immediately understood that the girl who was in her feelings didn't want to appear here at all, to be precise, this Miss Wanyi didn't want her to appear here.

Why? It's just a maid, why is the eldest lady of her dignified mansion so jealous of a maid?

Thinking that there were some maids who thought they had a bit of a posture in their own house before, scratching their heads in front of him, Fang Sixian suddenly had a little fun, and wanted to give this Miss Wanyi a little clarity, and by the way, make fun of the little girl who didn't put herself in her eyes.

With such an idea, when Xiang Ning lowered her eyebrows and was about to retreat, Fang Sixian suddenly said: "It's just a trivial matter, don't care so much." If the girl doesn't dislike it, wipe her face with the handkerchief below. ”

As he spoke, he actually stood up, took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Xiang Ning.

Xiangning was about to turn around and leave when she froze there, not walking, not walking, not embarrassing.

Ding Wanyi was so surprised that her eyes were about to pop out, she just tried hard to talk to Fang Sixian, the other party has always been not salty or light, why did he take the initiative as soon as this incense condensation came?

This woman is not just a maid, how can the son of his cousin outside the mansion surrender his identity so much and personally hand a handkerchief to a maid?

What puzzled Ding Wanyi the most was that Xiangning still had ash on her face, and even she, a young lady who had been with her for more than eight years, couldn't see her original appearance, what did this Fang Gongzi like about her?

After a stalemate for a while, Ding Laifu opened his mouth first, "Xiangning, what are you doing in a daze?

Xiang Ning had no choice, so she had to take the handkerchief in Fang Sixian's hand, lowered her head and owed, "Thank you Fang Gongzi." ”

This gentle thank you was like a soft feather, which made Fang Sixian's heart itch inexplicably, so that he actually stared at this gray-faced woman with an unprecedented rudeness, wanting to see what kind of face she would reveal after wiping off the ashes from the bottom of the pot on her face.

Xiang Ning was already wailing in her heart, and she knew that she should hold on a little longer, and let the housekeeper find another girl to serve here. It's good now, I've completely stabbed Lou Zi. She didn't bother to think about what this Fang family's son-in-law was thinking, but afterwards, her own young lady would definitely not give her good fruit to eat.

When she was upset, Xiang Ning had already subconsciously wiped her face with a handkerchief, although she couldn't completely wipe off the stains on her face, but a beautiful face had already emerged.

Fang Sixian originally looked at this little girl with a bit of joking, but unexpectedly, he felt that his heart was beating a little strangely with the movement of her wiping away the black ash on her face.

Throughout the morning, he couldn't help but want to see her all the time, and even when he stayed in Ding's Mansion for dinner at noon, he was inexplicably looking forward to seeing this beautiful and moving girl at the table.

Of course, Ding Wanyi will never do what he wants.

After Fang Yuanwai and Fang Sixian left, the first thing Ding Wanyi did was to deduct Xiangning's salary for three months, and punish her for embroidering a mandarin duck bag within two days.

It is difficult enough to embroider a bag in two days, but the colors and patterns required by Ding Wanyi are particularly complicated. In order not to make her young lady even more angry, Xiangning could only agree, and then sacrifice her sleep time at night to catch up with work.

Fang Sixian couldn't sleep that night, and even he couldn't understand why he had insomnia because of a maid. He has not seen a beautiful woman, he has always thought that he is not here, he wants to gain fame, he wants to enter the court as an official, although he has not thought of relying on a woman to lay his career, but he has never thought of finding a so-called right woman in this Jianping City to be his wife.

Only this time, he felt that he was about planted, and he had only seen it once, and he left his heart on the maid's body.

Tossing and turning for a night, he went out early the next day, he was supposed to go to the school to study, but his feet unconsciously walked in the direction of Dingfu.

It wasn't until he saw the gate of Ding's Mansion from afar that he was suddenly shocked that he had done such a humiliating thing.

I was anxious to turn around and walk, but found that the gate of Ding's Mansion was opened, and a delicate figure walked out of it.

- Is that her?

Fang Sixian was shocked, he didn't expect that he would walk near Dingfu with hysteria early in the morning, and he would be able to meet the little girl who kept him awake all night.

It was indeed Xiangning who came out, she didn't sleep all night, she picked up the lamp and embroidered the bag, and now she was dizzy, but the tormenting Miss Wanyi woke up early in the morning for the first time and told her to go to the east of the city to buy a box of hibiscus shortbread and come back.

This Ding Mansion is located in the west of the city, and the shop selling hibiscus shortbread in the east of the city happened to fall apart, knowing that this was the young lady's anger had not yet been sprinkled, Xiangning didn't dare to say anything, washed her face with cold water and rushed out of the house.

found that the little girl she cared about walked towards the east in a hurry when she left the house, Fang Sixian spurned herself fiercely in her heart, but she still couldn't help but quietly follow her.

The streets in the morning were very lively, and the small merchants and vendors opened the doors and set up stalls, and no one noticed that Xiang Ning was such a top-heavy girl and Fang Sixian who followed behind her.

The streets are getting more and more crowded, and Xiang Ning's heart is getting more and more anxious, she is afraid that she will be delayed on the road for a long time, and she will make Ding Wanyi unhappy when she goes back.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiangning decided to take a shortcut, it was a small alley that looked a little gloomy during the day, there was a low wall at the end of the alley, as long as you climbed over the low wall and walked a little further, it was not far from the shortbread shop in the east of the city.

If it is changed to the evening or even the night, Xiang Ning will never dare to walk this shortcut alone, because I have recently heard from the people in the house that a person died on this road not long ago, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and the death is terrifying, the key is that he was ruined by a man before he died, and the murderer has not been caught until now.

Because of this incident, this small alley, which is rarely visited, is now more and more avoided.

Suppressing all those fearful emotions, Xiangning still quickly turned around and walked towards the gloomy alley.

As soon as she walked to the mouth of the alley, a yin wind blew over, which made her spine feel a little chilly, and her brain, which had not slept all night, was instantly cleared up a lot.
