The inner courtyard was quiet, there was no sound, those noisy summer cicadas and autumn frogs were all captured by Liu's order, so as not to disturb her sleep, and even the little girls serving outside Liu's house held their breath, and they didn't even dare to breathe, lest they hinder Liu's eyes.

In the ear room next to Liu's bedroom, the eldest maid Dong'er was sorting out the housemother's makeup and account books, while listening to the conversation between Xichun and Xiaoxia with a smile, chatting with each other.

When the two of them entered the door to ask for a meeting, the little girls told Dong'er that the two of them looked serious and solemn, as if there was something important.

However, after talking about a cup of tea, the two of them were just going around in circles and chatting about some short gossip from their parents, and they didn't want to get into the main topic at all, which was really impatient.

The strange thing is that these two people have always served the county prince, and they don't interact with themselves at all on weekdays, and they suddenly come to the scene, obviously they have something to ask for themselves.

But what can I do to help them? What the hell did these two people come about?

She was faintly anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but interrupt Xichun's chatter, and said softly but firmly: "The two younger sisters have also been here for a while, if there is nothing important, I will go to prepare hot water for the housemother first, and the housemother will get up after a nap." ”

This is clearly an eviction order, as the most powerful big girl in front of the Liu family, when will it be her turn to do such a thing as hot water?

Cherish the spring and the summer look at each other, and can't help but be a little dumbfounded.

is still smart in the summer, and he doesn't pretend to be reserved at all, so he immediately "pounced" in front of Dong'er, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, please save our sisters." ”

Xichun was not stupid, so he knelt down and begged: "We want to come and go, only Sister Dong'er can save us." ”

Dong'er was also taken aback, but she was old after all, and she didn't show any emotion on her face, but she quickly and politely helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Sister, this is really a joke, no matter how much I win the favor of the master, it's just that the master's mother favors me, you two are the master's people, what can I do to help." ”

To put it mildly, but the meaning of the refusal is also clear.

If you want someone to help, at least let them understand why they are helping and what is going on.

Others are not muddy, how can you say whatever you want, whatever you say.

Xiao Xia hurriedly told what he had just heard with Xichun.

At first, she was quite subtle and reserved, but Dong'er blinked her big innocent eyes and asked from time to time, "Oh, is it?" "Wouldn't it? "And then? Such words actually made De Xiaoxia and Xichun completely say the conversations just now.

In the end, she also instructed more innocently: "Don't say such nonsense to anyone in the future, if you want others to know, even I can't help you." ”

Xiaoxia and Xichun couldn't help but smile bitterly, if you hadn't been asking, how could the two of us pour beans on a bamboo tube, and said it clearly.

However, at this time, they asked Dong'er for help, so they could only swallow their anger and respond: "Yes, the slave understands." ”

Under the expectant eyes of the two of them, Dong'er smiled generously and said, "This is not a big deal, when the master mother wakes up, I will go and talk back to the master mother and ask you to come over." ”

The two didn't expect Dong'er to be so capable, so they agreed to themselves lightly and skillfully, and they were immediately overjoyed, and they both held Dong'er with kind words, and they were talking endlessly.

On the other side, the slave group had successfully arrived at Wuxing at the junction of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou.

Further on, is Huan Xuan's territory, Jiangzhou, which is also one of the most dangerous places on this journey.

Jiangzhou and Jingzhou are adjacent to each other, and they are both very vast, if you want to bypass these two states and counties, I am afraid that it will take several months to travel, and after a few discussions, it is decided not to detour, as long as you bypass the two states and counties, and avoid the places where Huan Xuan may go.

Zhu Fatai and Zhu Fayun are both monks, and they mainly rely on their feet on weekdays, but now they have cars and horses, and they are well fed, which is already a very good treatment, so the two of them don't feel tired at all.

Zang Xi, who was tired at the beginning, slowly got used to such a journey after being threatened by Haginiang several times to send him back.

Liu Muzhi, a person who seems to pay great attention to enjoyment, is not picky at all, what is there to eat in the inn, and the bunk where he sleeps is occasionally a little damp, with some musty smell and moisture, he doesn't care much, and never complains.

It's strange to say, since she went out, Hagi Niang's headache has also improved a lot, but it's not like before, she has a headache at every turn, she gently stroked her jade, and said to Caitang faintly: "Caitang, I actually miss Mother Li a little." ”

Her face was gloomy, obviously remembering something again.

Cai Tang was afraid that she would want to go elsewhere, so he hurriedly laughed at her and said: "I understand, it turns out that the food in the inn is too bad these days, and the craftsmanship of the slave maid is only the third success of Mother Li, which makes you think of her, but isn't it?" ”

Hagi Niang couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "How can I be so gluttonous, do you treat me as a slave?" ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused, and asked softly: "Caitang, have you ever felt that your brother Jinu seems to be a little different from before?" ”

Cai Tang's heart tightened, and he asked nervously, "What's the difference?" The slave and maid looked just taller and tanned. ”

Hagi Niang smiled: "I'm not talking about appearance, I'm talking about ......"

She suddenly felt that it was difficult to express her thoughts to Caitang, maybe everything was just her own illusion, maybe it was because of her cranky thoughts a few days ago, if she wanted to say what kind of person Jinu was, maybe she didn't see it clearly from the beginning, just because she regarded him as a child, she didn't seriously explore it again.

Cai Tang saw that she fell into deep thought again, and hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, the slave maid really didn't feel anything different, I'm afraid that you haven't rested well in the past few days, so you can't be sure, we are about to enter Jiangzhou, the slave maid is ignorant, I don't have any ideas, you have to help the slave brother plan more, how to guard against that Nanjun Gong is the most important thing now, and other things, you can think about it later." ”

This is very reasonable, Hagi Niang was really pulled away from her thoughts, and Zhengse said: "Jiangzhou is enough, Jingzhou is Huan Xuan's base camp, although there is Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yin Zhongkan, but he is not even as good as a puppet, and all the military and political power in Jingzhou is in Huan Xuan's hands." ”
