Chapter 280: Meet the Steward

From the exposed arm alone, the skin is white and delicate, only covered with a faint layer of fluff, and under the light of this almost sunset afterglow, it seems to have a soft maternal tenderness.

The arm seemed to reflect light, and the light that came through the skin hit the child in front of her.

The child raised his head with two hairy hair, and Su Jingye was surprised to find that she was the little girl who was pointing at her at the door.

Probably due to the height, the little girl is short, and it is difficult to find that someone is peeking at the window from her angle, and this window is slightly higher, which just perfectly covers Su Jingye's body.

"It's just that I look at them, they shouldn't be bad people," the little girl raised her head, grabbed her sleeves with both hands embarrassedly, and although she was defending Zhao Ming and them, the expression on her face was still arrogant.

"It's just really annoying, I look at their shelves, it seems to be from the yamen."

As soon as these words came out, Su Jingye's whole person was a little shocked, as if he didn't expect that a young girl like Mo Huaqing would understand these crooked words.

The words Tiao and Zi are black words made up by those who are mixed with the three religions and nine streams in order to avoid the government's investigation. When Su Jingye was once outcast, he had heard a sentence or two, but he never thought that this kind of words had penetrated into society so deeply.

"Strip, son," said the woman lying on the couch with her back to the window, standing up slightly, supporting her head with her left hand, and putting her right hand back, rubbing her chin constantly.

"These days because of the wrong season, those people in the pear orchard should have endured their own patience, they have never done anything out of the ordinary, and they rarely even go out of the door, how did those strips and children find out here?"

"I don't know about this, so I don't want to ask too much so as not to attract their attention. All they said was that they had to come to you and ask about something, or you could think about how to get them away. ”

Mo Huaqing scratched her head in confusion, and her hair, which was just as long as her shoulders, fluttered out under her movements, spread out on her chest, and made her round little face even more cute.

"Even if they were prevaricated this time, they wouldn't give up so easily." When the woman spoke, Mo Huaqing changed her previous momentum towards Zhao Ming and Su Jingye, and even brought her a cup of tea from the side very obediently, and the woman turned around as she spoke.

"Rather than let them come and bother us one after another, so that they find something, something important, it is better to have a good reception and deal with the past first."

Su Jingye was listening carefully to her words, very curious about what the so-called important matter was in the woman's mouth, but when he saw the woman's face, he was so shocked that he almost slipped under his feet and fell off the cornice.

Due to the loss of square inches under his feet, and the downward slope of the cornice, it was not easy to stand on his feet, Su Jingye finally stabilized his body, so he did not roll down from the second floor in embarrassment, but a tile under his feet could not support it, and it loosened a little.

So, the faint sound of the collision of broken porcelain pieces was keenly captured by the half-asleep woman, and she suddenly yelled out the window.

"What people!"

Su Jingye had no choice but to hold on to the bamboo window, turn over and come in, and apologize to the woman.

"Passing by below, I saw a few dendrobium plants growing on the eaves, and because I was interested in these plants on weekdays, I took the liberty to come up and plan to pick them."

Su Jingye kept his head down when he spoke, for fear that Mo Huaqing would recognize him and interrupt his words, which would make him even more embarrassed.

Sure enough, Mo Huaqing kept looking at him from the moment he came in, but he was also calm and didn't break it immediately.

"But I didn't want to hear someone talking next to me, so I was curious, so I came over to take a look, I didn't want to disturb the steward's speech, I was really embarrassed."

Avoiding Mo Huaqing's gaze was only one of the reasons, and the other was the person in charge who sat up in front of Su Jingye.

When she was looking outside just now, although she could only see the skin on her hands, because her voice and figure were in front of her, Su Jingye also had a rough guess about the appearance of this person.

Thinking about it, even if she is not a peerless beauty or a mature rhyme woman who is captivating the country and the city, she should be a dignified deep beauty, but she didn't expect her appearance to be so shocking.

Just looking at the figure, it is still very slim, that is, that face does not seem to be like any woman in this world. The same snow-white skin has two thick sword eyebrows, and two or three forehead lines are faintly visible on the forehead.

Although there are no wrinkles in the rest of the face, there are many more spots near the nose, and the face shape is the most coarse national face, coupled with a pair of bright eyes, at first glance, it is even more powerful and majestic than Su Jingye.

"What's so strange about just a few dendrobiums, it's just the most ordinary variety, and it can't be used in medicine, and it can't be sold at any price, how can Childe be interested in this thing?"

"If you say something like this, I'm afraid that Childe himself won't believe it." A soft female voice like this, coming out of the mouth of the person in front of her, is also hard to believe.

When Madame spoke, Su Jing Yechen glanced at it curiously, and saw that his mouth was open and closed, and he was even more frightened with goosebumps.

"There are many quirks in this world, even if it won't be of any use, how can the person in charge know that he must not be fond of it in the future."

"That's right, after all, the strange habits of rich people like you are really not something that ordinary people can understand,"

The woman's eyes narrowed. didn't pay attention to Su Jingye's strong words, and simply followed his meaning, which could be regarded as disgusting to him.

"Now, Childe, let's explain why you came here today." At the same time, Mo Huaqing, who was short next to him, still raised his head and looked at Su Jingye unremittingly.

is also because of a loss, Mo Huaqing looked up from this angle, completely against the light, and could not see clearly. In addition, Su Jingye deliberately raised her hand and covered her face with her sleeve, so that she has not recognized it so far.

"Hehe," Su Jingye chuckled twice, didn't speak, only put his hands down, Mo Huaqing saw his appearance clearly, immediately jumped, pointed at him and said loudly.

"Aren't you the one just now, the one who was about to come in at the door?"

"Qing'er, don't be rude." The woman whispered a small reprimand, after all, such words should not be said in front of others.

"Yes." Mo Huaqing looked at the light smile on Su Jingye's face, and lowered his head unconvinced.

After hearing Mo Huaqing's identification, the woman opened her eyes wide and swept Su Jingye up and down seriously, but frowned again.

All the officials in the capital, whether they are civil ministers and military generals who take over the investigation of the case or not, the women have all taken pictures, but the person in front of her, she has no impression at all.

"Dare to ask what position the prince holds in the yamen now, forgive the little woman for her bad memory, she really can't recognize it."

Su Jingye paid attention to this woman's scrutiny, and thought that she was holding some bad water and ideas in her heart, but when she heard her ask so straightforwardly, she was relieved and at the same time, she couldn't help but laugh at herself for being too suspicious.

But listening to her words, it seems that she really doesn't know herself, and her identity is not so easy to expose in the suspicious pear orchard, and it may come in handy if you keep it in the future.

Su Jingye thought about the thoughts in his heart, and swallowed back the truth he had almost blurted out just now.

"Brother Tai, no girl, I just follow Lord Zhao to help solve the case, and I can't say that I have any serious position." Because that face was too confusing, Su Jingye almost said what he thought in his heart

Although it was corrected in time, the woman heard the slightly ironic words clearly. Although he didn't mean to say it, it had the same effect.

Mo Huaqing glanced at the woman's face with some concern, and sure enough, the woman's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

"I see." At this time, the woman's heart seemed to be burning with a raging anger, but she cared about the people not fighting with the officials, so she had to swallow this resentment for the time being, and after agreeing to a word, she closed her mouth and did not say a word.

And Su Jingye saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and she didn't think about anything else, but she only knew that it was not good for her to stand here in such a daze, so she broke the deadlock with a question.

"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of asking the steward's honorable name."

The woman was not willing to speak, and Mo Huaqing, who was standing next to her, was afraid that the two of them would have a strong temper and face each other, and when the time came, the matter would be too big to end, so she took the initiative to speak for her.

"The name of our housekeeper is very good, his name is Mo Huaqing."

"And a name for you?" Su Jingye couldn't help but be surprised, even in the face of a difficult predicament, he had never made his eyes open so wide. He was now amazed that there would never be such a coincidence in this world.

Mo Huaqing hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, the second word in charge is a painting." ”

Mo Huaqing, Su Jingye muttered the names of the two of them in his mouth, and it was inevitable that he would have questions. "I never thought that you were the daughter of the steward of the pear orchard, but it was disrespectful."

When the words landed, Mo Huaqing was stunned. The woman sitting on the edge of the couch was even more angry with her hands pulling at the sheets under her.
