Chapter 2: The Second Out: The First Striker

The grass warbler flies in spring, the poplar willow is drunk with spring smoke, the spring is full of court, the tender green pond, the natural elegance, the lotus flower breaks, the butterfly powder is lightly dipped in the flying snow, the light yellow poplar willow, the swallow mud fragrance provokes the flower dust, and the wind passes through the flower fragrance.

"Click, click."

There was a shock, a sound, and chaos fell all over the path.

"Miss."

Pipa called softly, folded his hands, and stood in place waiting for his young lady's orders.

Pipa remembered that on the day of the full moon banquet of her own young lady, Mrs. said that Miss lacked a personal maid, Pipa thought that the beauty of waiting for Miss was decided not to be her turn, but she didn't think that she became Miss Lady's maid after an order, Mrs. said: "Fu Qing said that you work smartly, and you are about the same age as Miss, so you can be a companion by Miss's side and be her personal maid." “

Fu Qing?

Pipa winked at her when she saw the doorman who told her not to leave that day. Pipa only felt that the feeling of heartbeat at that time had never been so obvious.

It turns out that his name is Fu Qing, what a nice name.

Miss's maid is naturally the big maid in the house. Therefore, the young lady was brought up by the pipa since she was a child.

In addition to the adopted grandmother, the pipa, who has never been looked down upon, has now turned over, and she is a high-ranking maid in the house.

A very good lady who treats her, a good grandmother, a respected position in the house, and even a ......

The back of the doorman, Pipa only felt that he saw it like this, and he felt very happy in his heart.

With so much, Pipa feels very happy.

And now the pipa is twenty-eight years old, at the best age, and the pipa is now a slim girl.

Pipa saw her own lady sitting on a wooden swing, with her back to herself, her legs hanging down casually, and the peony flowers next to the swing were blooming in the open season

The peony flowers are like the smiling face of the girl blooming, one by one the gorgeous peony flowers are dotted around the swing, the young lady's long black hair is combed into braids, which is very good-looking, the pipa knows that it is combed by herself, the tassels of the decoration flutter in the wind, and the golden butterflies are like the gold dust sprinkled on the painting, decorating this picturesque spring color.

"Well, Pipa, is that you?"

Miss's voice is very good, very crisp, like the sound of a green mountain spring, oh, no, it is better than the sound of a green mountain spring.

Xingzhen turned her head, and her rosy lips like two petals smiled, comparing the picturesque spring scenery of the garden. Xingzhen, who is in the prime of her life, loves to laugh like other girls, and her personality is also very skinny and innocent. Today's young lady is dressed in a cheongsam embroidered with lotus apricot blossoms, a large skirt embroidered in bean, and blue flag shoes, just like other aristocratic flag people. Xing Zhenmo's long hair is combed into neat and thick braids, which are particularly pretty, with two curved willow eyebrows like picturesque, a pair of Danfeng eyes are bright, a fair face is like jade, and the delicate facial features are outstanding. Pipa had never seen such a beautiful person as Miss, and it was not like the serpentine beauty.

"Pipa, what's wrong?"

Xingzhen jumped off the swing lively, and as soon as the swing was passive, she staggered, took the hand of the pipa, and raised her face to ask innocently.

Pipa began to hesitate to tell Miss.

Xingzhen saw that there was a bow on the ground, so she hooked it up and kicked it with her toes, and before the pipa could speak, Xingzhen said: "It's been almost half a month since Sagda Mafa (Manchu people call grandfather) disappeared. Pipa, have you finally decided what to tell me today? “

Seeing that Miss had already opened her mouth to ask, Pipa had no choice but to tell the truth: "Miss, that's the case, because the adults were involved in a warehouse bribery case, so they were arrested. “

"How do you know?"

"Pipa heard it when she went to deliver something to the lady's room."

"Oh~ That's it. Then you didn't tell me sooner. “

After speaking, Xingzhen put on a pitiful look.

Pipa was anxious at first sight: "The slave maid saw the old lady and they didn't tell the young lady, so they ......"

Xingzhen glanced at the pipa and regained her old grinning smile: "Well, so, who am I yours?" ”

"It's my young lady."

"And then, what do you understand now?"

"I understand that there is something that must not be hidden from Miss."

After Xingzhen heard this, she couldn't help but smile sincerely, and after handing Keju to Pipa, she took her to the porch chair and sat down, twisted the sleeves of the pipa and shook it around, and hugged Pipa's arm childishly, Xingzhen thought about it and said, "You have to take care of Keju." “

"Okay."

"Bribery is about money."

"Yes."

"How much was corrupted in this bribery case?"

"Uh...... Big、About a lot。 “

"Sagdama has been arrested, Amma must be in a hurry now, if it weren't for his overflowing urgency, otherwise I would have noticed something."

Speaking of this, Xingzhen couldn't help but giggle as if she had thought of something, but as if she had thought of something, the expression on her face became serious again, and she was about to say something, when she was immediately interrupted by a familiar girl's voice.

"Sister~"

As soon as Xingzhen heard this voice, she immediately put down her hand holding the pipa and sat upright. Pipa quietly hid Keju in his wide sleeves, greeted the comer, and said, "Say hello to Miss Wanzhen." ”

I saw that the visitor was good-looking, gorgeously dressed, and about six years old. Wanzhen saw that it was the pipa and knew that it was her sister's personal maid, so she hurriedly said: "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”

Xingzhen smiled lightly at Wanzhen. When Wanzhen saw Xingzhen, she made a cheering salute and said, "Hello, sister." ”

Xingzhen pulled Wanzhen to sit down, touched Wanzhen's head, and said, "Why did you come to me today?" ”

Wanzhen buried her head in Xingzhen's arms and said coquettishly: "I miss my sister." ”

Pipa watched. Pipa knew that it was not that Xingzhen pretended to be dignified in front of only Wanzhen, but because the young lady was only willful in front of herself.

Xingzhen seemed to think of something, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she took Wanzhen's hand and said as she walked: "Let's go, let's go to Amma." ”

"Hey, Auntie, are you going to Amma?"

"Will you wait for me outside?"

"Good!"

Xingzhen turned to Pipa and said, "Pipa, you are also waiting for me outside." ”

When Pipa and Xingzhen looked at each other, Xingzhen's eyes at that time made Pipa never forget.

"Okay."

Pipa watched the young lady's back go away, and suddenly wondered in her heart.

Strange, is it my delusion, why do I feel that there is a kind of look in the eyes of the young lady at that time that does not belong to a twelve-year-old girl, not like the kind of innocence and laughter in ordinary life, but a kind of sharp edge that seems to be super age-wise.

"Amma, please use tea."

Xingzhen obediently handed over a porcelain teacup with both hands.

Hye-seong looked at the girl in front of him. Although he was only twelve years old, he was already proficient in both Manchu and Chinese languages, and was familiar with the hundreds of schools of thought of the Han people, and he also knew the history of his own nation very clearly, not to mention other needlework women, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"You didn't just come today to bring me tea."

"Yes."

Hye-seong didn't speak, but quietly waited for Xingzhen to speak.

Xingzhen didn't look unhappy when she saw Amma's face, but waited for something.

Well...... Looks like it's time to speak.

Xingzhen said: "Amma, Xingzhen came today to talk about family matters. ”

Hui Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Say it." ”

Xingzhen said: "Now the family is in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" The anxious is the Sagdama Method; Why rush the Sagthamafa? because of the arrest of Sagdamamafa; Why was the Sagdama Puja arrested? It was involved in a case of bribery in the warehouse. And the bribery case is about silver. ”

Speaking of this, Xingzhen didn't say anything, and quietly observed Amma's expression.

Hui Zheng knew that Xingzhen had come to him and would never just talk about these things, so he said, "Go on." ”

Xingzhen made a squatting salute and continued: "And now the official is talking about silver, talking about silver, as long as we make up enough silver, we will first redeem Sagdama from prison, and then Sagdamamafa will make its own arrangements." As for this silver, don't you have to worry about smashing pots and selling iron? ”

Hye-seong put down the teacup, and Xingzhen felt that at that time, Amma's eyes were a little different.

Hui Zheng suddenly found that Xingzhen's eyes were much brighter than before, with a kind of intelligent light, and the whole person added a sense of solemnity and maturity.

This is the first edge.

Hui Zheng said: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

"If nothing happens, Xingzhen will retire."

"Wait," Hui Zheng said after a pause, "what reward do you want?" “

"If Sagdama is fine, it is the greatest reward for Xingzhen."

Born in the deep courtyard of a wealthy family, you must know how to speak.

The breeze blows, swinging the ripples of spring in the garden, the spring breeze pulls up the apricot ribbon, and the beauty dances with streamers, which is even more drunk with this picturesque spring in the garden.
