Chapter 10: Forced
Qu Xiaomo, who was dragged in, only had time to see the word 'gold' on the door plaque of this mansion, and then he was dragged into a courtyard by the diameter.
Staggered into the house, fixed his eyes and saw a man sitting on the main seat above, dressed in a black robe that was only outlined in the corners of silver wires, with long hair coiled on the top of his head, fixed with a black hair crown, eyebrows like peaks painted in ink, nose like tall veins, a thin lips pursed, a pair of soul-catching phoenix eyes covered with frost on his handsome face, looking at her coldly at the moment.
Qu Xiaomo, who was originally hooked by this extremely handsome face, felt the chill, suddenly shivered, hurriedly returned to his senses, bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
The squinting eyes on the side arched his hand to the man above and handed the copper plate, and said, "Master, I found it in his hand." ”
Hearing this, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly raised his head to defend himself: "This copper plate was really picked up by me, and I don't know if it was dropped by the little brother who hit me, I thought he deliberately hit me to touch my silver, I looked down and saw this, just picked up these two big brothers and grabbed me and didn't let go." ”
Seeing that the ice cube man above didn't react at all after hearing this, Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but be anxious: "What I said is all true, I just walked here from Jiazhou City today, and I just entered the city half an hour ago, I don't believe you sent someone to investigate." ”
After saying this, he finally saw the ice cube above, and the man glanced at the coffin standing aside, only to see the kid go out and order someone to investigate, and then returned to his original position and stood like a log.
The room was quiet all of a sudden, Qu Xiaomo's body was a little sour, but he didn't dare to move, the person above knew at a glance that it must be a character, and there were two little brothers with swords next to him, who were clearly two masters, she was delicate and frail and didn't know what her fists and feet were, she didn't dare to move, she didn't dare to move...
Half a cup of tea passed, and Qu Xiaomo, who was stiff, finally saw the ice cube man who had been staring at her move from above, and then heard a slightly hoarse voice with an indescribable sense of charm, and said, "Name." ”
Qu Xiaomo was stunned for a moment before he realized that the ice cube man was talking to him, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The little one is called Qu Xiaomo." ”
Without waiting for him to continue to ask, he automatically said all his things: "The little one lost his father and mother at the age of ten, and was an outcast for several years. ”
After squinting and listening, he looked her up and down, hooked his lips and said with some disbelief: "You are a buddy from Futai Restaurant?" ”
Qu Xiaomo hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes." ”
Then he took out the letter of introduction written by the old shopkeeper from his bosom just in case and handed it to Squint.
Squinted and looked at it before presenting it to the ice cube man above, the man raised his slender and well-proportioned fingers, opened the envelope and glanced at it before placing it next to the table, Qu Xiaomo was worried in his heart, won't he return it to him after reading this? She still has to rely on this letter to study, study, and then become the second-in-command to the pinnacle of life.
was thinking about how to open his mouth to reply to the letter, the person who went out to run an errand just now came back, the coffin face went out to ask twice, and when he came back, he nodded with the ice cube man, Qu Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief, and flattered: "What I said is true,.... I wonder if the letter can be returned to the little one? The small ones have to use it to prove their identity at the Lanyue Tower in the south of the city. ”
After speaking, he secretly glanced at the ice cube man above, only to see him glance at the letter on the table, and then looked at her coldly for a long time, the phoenix eyes covered with frost were filled with thick disgust, and said: "You don't have to go to Lanyue Tower, just stay here, someone will arrange things for you." ”
Forehead? What do you mean? Qu Xiaomo looked confused.
The squinting eyes on the side saw that she was at a loss, so he smiled and said, "I said that you kid shouldn't even know who your big shopkeeper is!" ”
Qu Xiaomo nodded, how did she know who the big shopkeeper had never seen before! It's just that after listening to a few words, she only knows that the big shopkeeper lives in the capital, surnamed Jin, think about it carefully.... It seems that when she was dragged in, she saw that the plaque outside was written in gold!
These people are all dressed in brocade clothes, and there is no need to lie to her, a newcomer to the hillbilly, could it be that the dragon is really the big shopkeeper who sees the head and the tail?
Qu Xiaomo was still a little suspicious, glanced at them, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and knelt down to the people on the seat and bowed: "The little one meets the big shopkeeper." ”
After speaking, he paused and peeked at the ice cube man above, and said stubbornly: "The big shopkeeper, the small one is here to learn, the old shopkeeper said that when he goes back, he will mention the small one to be the second-in-command, and the copper plate is also picked up by the small one, and the small one does not ask for any credit, the people you serve here are all capable people, and the small one does not know the rules, or you should let the small one go to Lanyue Lou to learn to manage things." ”
Hearing this, the ice cube man frowned slightly, and the squinting eyes on the side said in surprise: "You kid, how many people want to enter the Jin Mansion to serve, but you don't even know how to lift." ”
This is terrible, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly knelt down to defend: "This big brother, you misunderstood, it's not that the little one doesn't know how to lift, it's the little incompetence!" The big shopkeeper's Yushu Linfeng, Cai Gao Badou, the dragon and phoenix among the people, where will I serve the shopkeeper in this small country, you can pull any one on the street outside is stronger than me! ”
"You don't want to serve me?" The ice cube man's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness in his eyes soared instantly
"No, no, no...."Qu Xiaomo waved his hand again and again to deny, and his voice gradually fell under his cold-like gaze, and he didn't dare to look directly, but he still stubbornly said, "Little one doesn't dare." ”
The ice cube man glanced at her, picked up the letter on the table, and split it into two with a hissing sound with both hands in front of her, Qu Xiaomo was dumbfounded, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to speak rashly, and secretly said with a bitter face, without this letter, how did she enter the Moon Tower, how did she become the second-in-command, and how did she go to the peak of the human voice!
I saw him tear the letter in half and threw it away, saying: "The letter has been destroyed, you can't go to Lanyue Tower, stay here for six months, and after six months, I will allow you to return to Jiazhou City, and personally write a letter to let you be the second shopkeeper of Futai Restaurant, but if you dare to sneak away, let alone the second-in-command, you don't want to go out of the capital for half a step in this life." ”
This is a naked threat! Is she Qu Xiaomo the kind of person who is threatened by others, is she,.... Yes!
Qu Xiaomo cried with a sad face, why did this person have to let her stay in the house to serve? She looks like a servant, and with such a big mansion, it's better than her to find someone to serve! Sneaking a glance at the ice cube man, he opened his mouth to make a final fight: "The big shopkeeper..."
Before she could speak again, the face of the 10,000-year-old ice cube on the top was already a little impatient, so she directly cut off her words, and said with that squint: "There is too much nonsense, take her down." ”
The master spoke, squinting his eyes, and quickly picked up Qu Xiaomo, who was still kneeling, and dragged him out of the door.
He went out of the courtyard and handed her over to a man who looked like a bearded butler, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left.
The old housekeeper glanced Qu Xiaomo up and down, showed a kind smile, and said, "Come with me." ”
In this case, Qu Xiaomo had no choice but to follow the old housekeeper to the place where the servants in the backyard were staying, and found a room in the corner where no one lived, and said, "You live here first, put your things down, and I will take you to see where you work." ”
Qu Xiaomo was very satisfied with the room that was obviously three or four times larger than her single room in Jiazhou City, not only the space was much larger, but the bed was also a lot bigger, so she obediently put down her burden and followed the housekeeper to the place where she would work in the future.
Looking at the stenching Gong buckets that were placed in a pile, Qu Xiaomo pointed to the pile of flies in disbelief and asked, "My job is to brush Gong buckets?" Sir, you're not mistaken? ”
This ice cube man forced her to stay, just to let her brush the bucket for him? She Qu Xiaomo has never seen such a brazen and vicious person in her two lives, he is still a person who looks like a dog, and sure enough, regardless of men and women, there is a stepmother's heart hidden under the beautiful face.
Looking at Qu Xiaomo, who was faintly angry, the old housekeeper smiled and said: "Just call me the old housekeeper, this is indeed the master's explanation, do you remember the way back?" I want to go back to restore my life, so I won't take you over, and someone will send you three meals a day in the future, and you can brush the bucket every day. ”
Looking at the back of the old housekeeper leaving, looking at the pile of buckets surrounded by flies, Qu Xiaomo wanted to cry without tears, she thought it was to do things such as serving tea and pouring water, and then it was miscellaneous such as sweeping the floor, but she didn't expect it to be such a heavy job.
Damn! There are too many routines in the capital, and she wants to go back to Jiazhou!
Dejectedly, he returned to Fang Cai's room according to the same way, and then saw that the big bed was no longer the excitement of Fang Cai, sat and thought about life for a while, and finally resigned herself to pick up the wooden basin on the shelf and go out to fetch water, no matter what, she also washed herself, rested, and drove for a month, and finally just came to brush the bucket for people, this kind of once-in-a-millennium humiliating thing killed her and didn't reveal half a word to the people in the Futai Restaurant, never!
The old housekeeper who explained the good things to Qu Xiaomo came to the study in the front yard and knocked on the door, and only then pushed open the door and walked in with the permission of the people inside.
"Young Master, it's already arranged."
I only heard the sound of the ice cube man who was burying his head in front of the desk, so he stopped talking, and waited for a long time to see the old housekeeper retreat, then raised his head and asked, "Uncle Quan still has something to do?" ”
The old housekeeper who was called Uncle Quan thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, that kid is the one who picked up the copper coin?" ”
Jin Zhen nodded, and Uncle Quan suddenly said with a tangled face: "Why is it a man!" ”
Jin Zhen: "...."He doesn't know why it's a man! But this young man's face is quite beautiful, and if he is a woman, he is also a rare beauty, but as a man, he is too girly.
