Chapter 157: The maid is like a face

Rurong was sold to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion when he was six years old, and when he came, he was selected by Grandma Yuan together with another little maid named Ning'er.

Because of her appearance, although she is still young, she is timid and afraid of things by nature. After so many years, I have survived with trepidation.

She didn't know why her good sister Ning'er helped the eldest lady steal the night pearl of the young grandmother, and finally died a tragic death. Ning'er has been more timid than her over the years, but she can't tell how many things Ning'er has in private that she doesn't know.

It's like she never told Ning'er the little secret in her heart.

"Third Young Master, why are you here again, didn't the eldest young master say that you should not appear in front of people on weekdays." Rurong wiped her red eyes and frowned.

"It's okay, I just want to come and see you......" Ji Yunzhe stepped forward and grabbed Rurong's hand and said.

Rurong immediately broke free, turned his back, wiped his tears, turned around again, and said softly: "Third Young Master, don't be careless, don't spoil your plan with the eldest young master because of a momentary impulse." ”

Ji Yunzhe sighed, looking at the woman in front of him with soft eyes, a petite body, and always gentle and timid. I suddenly remembered what it was like ten years ago.

If you call him the third young master, what kind of third young master is he, his own mother used to be the same as Ji Yunyi's aunt, she was the serving maid next to the old lady, but her appearance was far from being as stunning as the second aunt.

is his aunt until death, and she is just a girl who has a room, and she is not as good as her eldest brother Ji Yunyi, although she is a concubine, she is always the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and she has been blessed by her grandmother since she was a child.

And Ji Yunzhe was born after the eldest lady's sister-in-law, Ji Yunqi, was born, ranking third.

Since he was a child, his qualifications were mediocre, and he was not loved by Ji Shangchang, and even his grandmother did not pretend to treat him.

After the death of his only mother, who loved him, he was even more lonely, not even as good as a subordinate, and was often bullied by those high-spirited subordinates.

Rurong was sold into the Hou Mansion at that time.

When he was being played and oppressed by his subordinates, Rurong always looked at him with timid and sad eyes, and at that time, just a kind look could make him feel warm like a life-saving straw.

Rurong will also please the mother-in-law who is in charge of distributing the dishes in the kitchen and let her deliver food to the third young master, because those little guys who deliver food to Ji Yunzhe always make him put sand and insects in the meal, or simply feed the dog halfway.

Every time Rurong brings food, Ji Yunzhe can always breathe a sigh of relief, although the food is still so rough, but it doesn't hide those disgusting things.

"Third young master, the slave invites you to eat osmanthus candy." Ji Yunzhe seemed to hear Rurong's timid voice at that time again.

Every autumn day when the osmanthus blooms, the grandmother in the kitchen will knock down the osmanthus, melt the rock sugar, boil it, and then let it cool to make shiny osmanthus sugar tablets.

This little-known sugar slice lady and lady disdain to eat, because it is beautiful and has the fragrance of osmanthus, and it is only used to decorate the food plate on weekdays.

At this time, the little maids such as Rurong and Ning'er would pick out those few pieces of osmanthus sugar slices for decoration in the food plate that was only left with leftovers.

Ning Er would put it directly in her mouth, melt it little by little, and said happily while eating: "There is really nothing sweeter and more delicious in this world than osmanthus candy." ”

At this time, Rurong will only smile and not eat, she will carefully find some clean sugar tablets that have not been stuck by the vegetable juice, and put them on the clean handkerchief with a bamboo skewer.

Then when he was delivering food to the third young master, he took it out, and then said with a smile: "Third young master, the slave invites you to eat osmanthus candy." ”

"Is there osmanthus candy?" Thinking of this, Ji Yunzhe suddenly asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Rurong didn't react for a while, there were still tears on his face, looking at the smile in Ji Yunzhe's eyes, he reacted and burst into laughter.

"Here's it." Rurong pulled out a jar from the head of the bed.

"Really?" Ji Yunzhe skillfully twisted a piece from the jar and put it in his mouth. Hmm, it's still the same taste as before.

"Yes," Rurong sniffed and said with a slight smile: "Since the eldest young grandmother came to the West Courtyard, our birthdays will be better." ”

Especially now that he has surrendered to his grandmother, the reward in his hand has not been cut off. Because osmanthus candy is a sweet memory shared by her and the third young master in such a gray old day, she will always buy a jar of osmanthus candy and put it there when she gets a reward, and when she feels afraid and timid, she eats a piece.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Ji is still in charge of this house." Rurong said sadly, and couldn't help but look at Ji Yunzhe sadly.

Yes, the mansion is still the villain in charge, Ji Yunzhe clenched his fists tightly.

At that time, I thought that as long as I was an honest concubine with my tail between my legs, I would always be able to grow old safely in this Nuoda Hou Mansion.

It's a pity that the jealous eldest lady has no intention of sparing his life, and after an experience of almost being killed, fortunately he was rescued by his eldest brother Ji Yunyi, hid in Zhuangzi, and lived incognito.

Later, by chance, I learned that his mother did not die of illness, but was killed by the eldest lady!

For so many years, he had been looking for a chance to take revenge, but he had no time until he ......

"Third Young Master, it's time for you to go to Nanyuan." The night outside was already dark, as Rong murmured.

Ji Yunzhe clenched his fists, his eyes became obscure, that woman, for him, was an opportunity for him to enter the Hou Mansion with a new identity again. Since he chose to take the initiative, then he should not be allowed to back down.

Rurong looked at his firm steps, straight back, and said silently: "I should go too." ”

Rurong put on a cloak, carrying the burden that had been prepared in his arms, and successfully avoided the maids and mothers in other courtyards, and went to the main courtyard of the entire West Courtyard, which is the residence of the grandmother of the eldest and youngest.

In today's West Courtyard, all the subordinates are instructed by the grandmother in the main hall, and they are quiet.

Rurong lightly opened the hidden door, entered the inside, and then walked forward to a hidden door. If you enter, all that catches your eye is the brilliant treasure and jade, and there are also boxes of silver ingots, and the dowry of the young grandmother is really worthy of the name.

Rurong walked towards these demagogic belongings, picked up a jade jade in a chaotic manner, and took a red coral that was valuable at a glance, put it in the baggage, and wiped the sweat on his head. Hurriedly walked to the northwest corner of the room, grabbed a bulging hand on the wall, and pressed it, and the secret door slowly opened.

When he went out to the outside of the Hou Mansion, Rurong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Rurong took advantage of the moonlight to walk along the towering outer courtyard wall of the Hou Mansion until he came to a secluded courtyard.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk" Rurong knocked four times, and the door was opened by a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones, hanging eyebrows, and a shrewd face. glanced at the burden in Rurong's arms, and then looked at the surroundings to see that there was no one, and then let her in.

Rurong entered this dimly lit courtyard, in addition to this woman with hanging eyebrows, there was also a man with a face full of meat, and the more she walked in, the more her legs and stomach trembled.

"Got something?" The man asked angrily, his eyes rolling around.

Rurong tried to calm down, swallowed his saliva, nodded, and put the burden on the table.

The woman stepped forward to open it, and when she saw these two, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she looked up at the man, and they both saw a greedy and ruthless look in the other party's eyes.

"This ...... Both of these things are ...... Good things, five hundred taels, can't be less. Rurong said with difficulty.

"Five hundred taels?" The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll give you five hundred taels." ”

The man got up and closed the door, and the woman found a silk cloth out of nowhere......

"You guys, what are you doing here?" Ru Rong's heart was about to jump to his throat, and he was in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "What we are doing is a long-term business, if I have a good one, you can't get out of it." ”

"We inquired, you are just an inconspicuous girl in the Hou Mansion, no one will pay attention to you when you die," the woman laughed and said: "There are more people in the Hou Mansion who do business with us, and there is a lot less of you, besides, your life is not worth five hundred taels ......"

"Then how much do you want to give, then I don't want any silver, you let me go!" Rurong couldn't help but plead.

"Hey, it's late." The man stepped forward as he spoke, grabbing her by the arm, and the woman held Limbler to her neck.

Rurong struggled weakly......

"Bang!" The door was slammed open.

It was the dragon boss who came in.

"I'm sorry, Miss Rurong, we're late, are you okay?" The dragon boss and the others quickly knocked the man and woman unconscious, tied them up neatly, and threw them on the horse.

Fortunately, the young lady told them to come over earlier, otherwise according to the original plan, after Rurong left, they would come in and catch the man and woman, in that case, I am afraid that Miss Rurong's life would be confessed here.

Unexpectedly, this pair of men and women suddenly became murderous when they saw wealth, which is really hateful.

Rurong was still trembling at this time, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and he looked at the dragon boss and them gratefully.

"Thank you, Grandma, for saving your life." Rurong muttered.

"You should also hurry back, the Hou Mansion has a lot of eyes, and it is easy to arouse other people's ideas if you come out for a while." Boss Long said.

Rurong nodded, picked up the burden containing silver taels that Boss Long gave her, and trotted all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

When Rurong got out of the secret door of the warehouse, he walked out of the narrow black corridor and pushed open the hidden door of the rockery.

Rurong took a breath and was about to continue walking, but saw a slender figure standing on the side of the rockery and staring at her tightly, her eyes flashing, like a wolf and an eagle under the reflection of the lights.

When he saw the face of the person in front of him, Rurong sighed in his heart, knelt down with a puff, and called:

"World ...... The princess. ”
