Until I was sent by my grandmother to wash my face and change clothes, I still didn't understand what this banquet had to do with me, it was worth me to dress up, besides, I was just a little girl, just a small role in serving tea and water at the banquet, even if I was dressed up, who would see it. I thought carefully in my heart, and began to act perfunctorily, although I promised to be good at my grandmother, but as soon as I got back to the room, I took an apple in my hand, tilted it on the bed, and nibbled comfortably.

I watched Xiaozhu run from the inner room to the outhouse, watched her grease and powder her face, changed her hairstyle after hairstyle, and finally began to tangle with a pile of clothes, I sighed, gnawed the last two bites of the apple, and then threw the apple core against the door. Then he staggered to the back of Xiaozhu.

"Choose this emerald green one." I leaned behind her, pointing to a green background with white lines, embroidered with thin green bamboo, Xiaozhu has been frowning, twisting his hands, concentrating on this pile of clothes, coldly heard me speak, startled, screamed and retreated, seeing that she was about to step on me, I quickly took a big step back, and then held her waist to prevent her from falling: "Xiaozhu, don't be afraid, it's me." ”

Xiaozhu also began to calm down after the initial panic, and when she heard my voice, she quickly patted her chest, and then blamed me and said, "Xiaolian, you bad girl, why did you suddenly run behind me and scare me a lot." ”

I smiled at her and said, "Pick the green one." "Huh? What the? Xiaolian was stunned, and then followed my gaze, and immediately realized what I was talking about, she walked over and picked up the dress, compared it on her body, and then asked: "Is this really a little better?" But I think it's too plain, isn't that pink one prettier? "I looked at the pink clothes that Xiaozhu said, in Xiaozhu's many clothes, it was particularly conspicuous, it was made of good materials, the material was a pale pink lotus, I found that the sleeves and collar were embroidered with thin gold threads, it looked like there was a sense of luxury, but how could such exquisite clothes appear in Xiaozhu's wardrobe, which was clearly not something that a little girl should have.

I looked at the dress silently, and a strange feeling rose in my heart. Xiaolian saw that I had been looking at this dress in a daze, her face turned weirdly red, and then she explained: "Xiaolian, this dress was given to me by Aunt Zhang, because I like it so much, I haven't worn it, and I haven't told you, you won't blame me, right?" After this incident, if you want to wear it, I will lend it to you. ”

It turned out to be so, but someone else gave it. That's reasonable, but I suddenly realized that she seemed to be talking about someone, Aunt Zhang, who is Aunt Zhang? Didn't you say that the master didn't continue the strings?

Xiaozhu blushed and wanted to continue to explain, but I interrupted her directly: "Xiaozhu, who is Aunt Zhang you just said?" Didn't the lord have a continuation? How can there still be an aunt? Xiaozhu listened to my words, but there was a trace of surprise, and a trace of embarrassment, and finally she shook her head with a smile, stretched out her slender jade finger and poked my forehead, and said with a smile: "Xiaolian, what happened to you today?" It's weird, how can I forget everything. I was startled and smiled at her awkwardly, not knowing how to answer before she would doubt my identity.

But fortunately, she didn't doubt me, but spontaneously made an excuse for me, she pouted, sat on the bed, and then complained to me: "Anyway, you haven't been here for long, and you've been so-so, I don't know, it's not surprising, this Aunt Zhang is of course our young master's concubine." ”

Seeing my surprised expression, she paused, sneered, and continued: "Moreover, the young master has more than this concubine." There are also Aunt Li, Aunt Sun, Aunt Liu, and several aunts can sit together and make a table of mahjong. ”

"Won't it?" This really refreshed my worldview, this young master didn't let his father continue the strings, but he found one after another, but it was not shallow, but no, Xiaozhu clearly told me that the young master was married to a wife. I opened my mouth, and was just about to ask her, when suddenly a thought flashed through her, she just said that she didn't marry a wife, but she didn't say that the young master didn't take a concubine, I smiled bitterly and closed my mouth silently.

After Xiaozhu said this long paragraph, she began to continue to struggle between the two clothes, she took turns comparing the light pink and green clothes on her body, and began to hesitate again, and began to ask me for help with a tangled face: "Xiaolian, which one do you say is more suitable for me." ”

I watched Xiaozhu's abnormal behavior today, just a little maid at a banquet, is it necessary to be so nervous? Thinking of the mysterious look of the grandmother when she confessed to me, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong, this banquet should indeed not be so simple. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to put a cliché from Xiaozhu. She's dressed up so well tonight, it looks like she must be going to see something? Otherwise, I'll try to start here, and if I get it wrong, I'll try to fool me around.

I made up my mind, I said just do it, I first smiled at Xiaozhu, and then said to her: "Actually, I think it's so good-looking in any dress you wear, after all, you look good?" That person should have died of joy when he saw you today. ”

Under my flattery, Xiaozhu really smiled happily, but her smile was not only shy, but also a kind of embarrassment, I didn't know why, I was afraid of saying something wrong, so I decided to stay still for the time being, to see what she said, so I also smiled at her.

Xiaozhu smiled when he saw me, suddenly approached me, took my hand, and asked cautiously, "Xiaolian, since you said so, you must not mind, right?" "What do you mind about, what does it have to do with me, could it be that the person she wants to see at night is my lover, I thought silently in my heart, I didn't know what to say, so I had to blink and look at her with a smirk.

Xiaozhu looked at her and didn't speak, but kept talking to her, suddenly seemed to be a little panicked, and she began to explain eagerly: "Xiaolian, I didn't mean to, I also know that I owe it to your aunt, and it is because of you that I can follow this opportunity, if I succeed, I will definitely remember you." I will repay you too. ”

I listened in confusion, completely confused by what she was saying, where was this? But if I didn't say anything now, I'm afraid it would be too strange, in case she suspected me and found out my identity. After thinking about it, I had to say tentatively: "Then I wish you success." ”

Xiaozhu listened to my words, as if she heard something guaranteed, suddenly smiled, and then hugged me, and after a long time reluctantly let go of me, I finally escaped from her arms, and quickly moved quietly to the edge of the bed, for fear that she would suddenly pounce again.

Fortunately, although she was excited, she didn't hug me again, but just held my hand very affectionately and said to me: "Xiaolian, I know that you are the best, I see that you didn't dress up at all today, you must know that I cherish this opportunity and want to give it to me, thank you for bringing me into this banquet." ”

It seems that the man was at the feast? I silently guessed, listening to what she meant, could it be that she wanted to enter the banquet to meet her lover, but I didn't know who her lover was?

I was still immersed in the news I had just gotten and was thinking about how to follow her words, when I heard her suddenly say triumphantly: "As long as I am taken by the young master tonight, I will hope to become a young grandmother, no matter how bad it is, I will also be an aunt, I will really fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and I will no longer have to worry about eating and drinking, nor will I have to be bullied." I don't have to work, and I have someone to serve me......"

She was still babbling about the good life she had after becoming an aunt, but I was still immersed in the initial shock and couldn't extricate myself, it turned out that the person she had been talking about was the young master, thinking of the face that looked like a kind of eternity, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

It turned out that all the preparations she made tonight were to get close to the young master, and let the young master take a fancy to her, in fact, it was not impossible, she looked pleasing to the eye, she was a white and pure little jasper beauty, in short, it looked much better than my skin, no wonder she felt that I was no threat to her from the beginning, but it made me feel strange, why did she suddenly come up with such a solution? Why did she think this banquet was an opportunity?

I couldn't hide it anymore, I looked at Xiaozhu and asked suspiciously, "Why do you think that tonight must be an opportunity?" What if the young master wouldn't have thought of you at all? ”

Seeing me ask, Xiaozhu stretched out his hand and patted my head, and reminded me helplessly: "Have you forgotten the purpose of today's banquet?" ”

"What purpose?" I rubbed my head that was hurt by her and asked.

Xiaozhu smiled proudly, little stars began to flash in his eyes, and he explained to me with a yearning on his face: "This banquet is for the young master to marry a wife, there will be a lot of young ladies to attend today, anyway, no one can influence the young master's decision, so whatever the young master says, it is what it is." And as long as I get in and am taken by the young master, no one can object. ”
