I sat on the bed and looked at Xiaozhu as if he was in a lot of mood, and his mood was not very high.

I looked at Xiaozhu and slowly seemed to ease his emotions, and I continued: "I used to work in the outer courtyard, and I haven't been in this mansion for a long time, and I still know more about Xiaozhu." By the way, when he said this, he was accompanied by an expression of admiration, and Xiaozhu became a little proud when he heard it.

I took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Madame has been dead for five years, so there has always been no mistress in such a big mansion?" "To be honest, I'm really curious about this question. In this era, there are many three wives and four concubines, but there is no such situation in this house. And the original wife has been dead for five years.

Hearing my question, Xiaozhu shook his head, and then beckoned to me, motioning for me to come over, I was stunned, and immediately leaned over, Xiao Zhu leaned up and attached it to my ear, and whispered: "I heard that the master originally had a plan to continue the string, but the young master seemed to be very opposed, and in the end the matter was over." ”

The young master objected, and I chewed this sentence silently in my heart. Looking at this posture, this young master is quite ...... I thought to myself, and slowly retracted.

As soon as I received half of my body, Xiaozhu seemed to feel unfinished again, and quietly added, "I don't know why, I feel that the master is a little afraid of the young master." ”

This...... Afraid of his son when he is a father?! It's weird. However, I thought about it again, now that the lord of this house is already the one who has changed the core, I don't know if what Xiaozhu said is the original real master or the current fake master.

However, when I think of that night, Zhu Liu and I quietly hid in the grass, and then everything I saw, to be honest, that young master is indeed a little scary.

This horror comes from that sense of insight into people's hearts, and he seems to have a kind of indifference and cold-bloodedness towards people. Thinking of this, I thought of the face I saw in the moonlight that night, which was incomparably similar to the one that never existed, and my heart was really like a mess for a while.

Xiaozhu saw that I didn't know what I was thinking, and raised his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, and I reacted with a thrill.

Xiaozhu thought that I was thinking more about what she said just now, she stood up, walked to the windowsill, tossed the pot of flowers placed on the windowsill, and said casually with her back to me: "Eh, Xiaolian, you don't have to think so much, we are subordinates, and the affairs of the master's family have nothing to do with us, we can just eat, and when we reach the age, I beg the housekeeper to let us go out of the house to find a good marriage, and this life will be fine." ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head and saw that I didn't particularly agree with me, and added: "Ah, I don't mean that either, I just think that we should not be too concerned about the affairs of the master's family. It's been so long, and I haven't completely recovered. In the first place, it was my wife who brought me into the house. ”

I listened to Xiaozhu babbling there alone, and suddenly, I stood up directly, startling Xiaozhu, she took two steps back, and stammered: "Xiao... Xiaolian, what are you doing, and... Crazy again?! ”

I looked straight at Xiaozhu, "It's okay today, right, I'm going to go out to find someone now, and I'll be back later." ”

Xiaozhu looked blank and looked at the sky outside, "It's almost noon, you don't eat, who are you going to find now!" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, it's now, it's okay if I eat later." ”

Xiaozhu didn't say anything when he looked at me like this, just nodded.

I tidied up my clothes casually, and walked out of the door, yes, I decided, I'm going to find Zhu Liu, I want to ask clearly, she's so good that she won't be like this suddenly, or is there something I don't know.

Said to go, I stepped out of the door, this is a small courtyard, there are a few rooms next to it, it is estimated that there are people living in the next place, there are two people just came in from outside the yard, carrying a small bamboo basket in their hands, there are a few dishes in the basket, it seems that it is really noon now, it is estimated that they have just received the meal back.

At this point, Zhu Liu will not run around.

"Xiaolian, are you going out to get food?" A few maids who walked in greeted me.

I nodded casually, didn't say much to them, and immediately left the yard.

As soon as I got out of the courtyard gate, I began to be a little confused, the moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and I didn't know how to get over, whether I was going to go left or right, east or west, I scratched my head, I didn't expect to run into a problem as soon as I came out.

From time to time, I passed by a few housekeepers or maids, and I couldn't open my mouth to ask people if they knew where the distinguished guests who came back from the house were arranged now, and besides, I don't know what the people who kept us here for.

I stood at the door and thought about it in a daze, forget it, don't care, let's take a look first.

Thinking of this, I immediately casually raised my feet to find a direction and walked forward, waiting here is in vain, it is better to go first.

I walked all the way to the right, I don't know how many years of history this house, these trees are growing very well, only some yards are planted with some ornamental flowers and plants, but they are also very dense.

I walked blindly, one corridor after another. Finally, when I arrived at a small pavilion, I sat down and took a breath, this is not good, I thought to myself, how can I find Zhu Liu if I find a random direction like this. I blame myself, I don't have any sense of direction, and when I think about it, I start to feel very frustrated.

While I was still resting in the pavilion, suddenly, "Xiaolian, you dead girl, what are you doing here?!" ”

A sharp female voice sounded behind me, startling me, I turned my head and looked in the direction of the sound, and I saw a middle-aged woman standing at the other end of the path, looking at the dress, everyone should be about the same status, it is estimated that it is the grandmother of the house, but at this moment, this grandmother does not look very happy, she is waisted, looking at me with an unkind face.

I quickly stood up, did I notice something wrong? Yi Xian calmed down for a moment and shouted loudly to the other side, "Mama, is there something wrong?" ”

When the grandmother looked at me like this, she seemed to be even more angry, and said impatiently, "There is a banquet in the house tonight, don't you know?!" Everyone in the house is busy, you dead girl, you're good, and you came here to be lazy, I think you've just been transferred to the inner courtyard, right? ”

The tone of this grandmother's voice was uncomfortable to listen to, and I didn't even want to answer. How long have I just been out, I haven't found Zhu Liu yet, and I have to go back?!

Alas, I sighed inwardly. Then he moved slowly.

As soon as I walked up to the mama, she immediately stepped forward, grabbed my ear, and lifted my ear up at once, and with this force, my tears burst out at once.

"It hurts, it hurts, Mama, you let go, let go." I held my ear with one hand, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, and quickly begged for mercy.

"You little girl, your aunt and I just paid to send you to the inner courtyard, and you will turn your face and not recognize anyone! Also Mama, you also called the exit. ”

I felt a sigh in my heart, it turned out that I was still a relative, I said. As soon as I thought about this relationship clearly, I immediately changed my words, "Auntie, auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't know that there was something wrong tonight, and I thought I didn't have to serve the young master today, so I wanted to come out and find a friend." "I was half-truthful, and she couldn't hear anything.

However, immediately Xiaolian's aunt's painting style changed, with a suspicious face, and again: "You little girl, how long have you been here, which friend are you looking for?!" ”

"Uh......" I immediately casually hid haha and confused the topic.

Soon, I returned to the courtyard gate, and I watched I go around and around and come back without doing anything, and sighed helplessly.

As soon as she sighed, Xiaolian's aunt immediately turned dark, and said: "You dead girl, others can't help you at the banquet, you're good, you're not happy, I took out all the money I had to give you the activity, and finally sent you to the inner courtyard, and you are not angry!" Are you trying to me off! ”

I hurriedly explained that no, no. Aunt Xiaolian looked at my sincere look, her face twitched twice, but she didn't say anything more this time.

When she sent me to the door, she said that she would go first, and told me to work hard at night and not to mess around.

Seeing that I nodded honestly, she left.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiaozhu immediately greet me and said, "Xiaolian, you're back, it's great." As soon as you left, Mama Qi from the main courtyard over there came and told us that there were guests coming to the house tonight. Let's prepare. Mama Qi asked you, I said that you went to your aunt to get something, don't say it later. ”

I nodded, wondering what other distinguished guests would come to this house.

Just after lunch, the house was being cleaned up and down, and the family members were also climbing up and down, and even some old lanterns were replaced. It seems that this banquet scene is not small.

Xiaozhu and I were arranged to clean up in the main hall. While I was cleaning, I heard Butler Zhang outside keep saying that there was nothing to do over there, and it seemed that everything was as usual, and I couldn't tell that I was also in such a gaffe that night. You're good at hiding, I thought.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone's work was completed, and they were all finished.

Mama Qi came over and pointed at us, "Let's all go wash our faces, change our clothes, and in the evening, you serve tea." Pointing casually, it was me and Xiaozhu.

At night, the door of the house was wide open.
