Chapter 94: Grilled Fish
The courtyard arranged by Xie Shi is far away from Shouyang City, and is located under a hill in the effect area, which is a three-entry house, surrounded by farmers and fields, and is guarded by a special steward on weekdays.
It was not uncommon for the steward of the annex to find out that the new aunt's personal maid was missing the next day.
Who let the new aunt not be favored, she was sent here inexplicably, probably because she ran away because she had no future. If it is Xie Mansion's fugitive maid, it can still be captured, the key is that Mingyue is not counted in Xie Mansion's establishment.
The steward was a little gloating when he got the news, an aunt who couldn't even suppress his personal maid, he didn't take it too seriously, it was just that he opened his mouth to eat. Just after the autumn harvest, there were still a lot of things to be busy, and the steward impatiently pointed to the two rough maids, and soon forgot about Tianjin.
*
At this time, it was late autumn, and the cold wind outside was blowing from the north, and the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows could not withstand the wind, and a few holes had already been broken.
The two little maidens sat in the corridor, talking and laughing, and they didn't remember that they had been assigned to serve people.
In the room, Tianjin poured himself a cup of tea. It's just that the tea in the teapot has long been cold, so she took a sip and frowned. Looking through the breach in the window, I could see the two sitting in the sun with their backs to the wind, chatting happily.
It's been five days since I came to the annex.
None of these people in this group have looked at her squarely, and the three meals a day are coarse tea and light rice. The autumn clothes in the box she brought were very thin, and she had to wrap a cloak to keep out the cold.
On the contrary, both maids were already wearing fleece skirts.
Tianjin listened to their laughter, and the hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.
It's time......
She put down her teacup and walked briskly to the door, her lips pursed slightly, "You two come here." β
When the energetic maid who was chatting heard this, she invariably turned her head to look at her, and her face was unhappy that her speech was interrupted.
"Come here!" Tianjin said again in displeasure.
The two maids were clearly disdainful in their eyes, and no one moved while sitting on the railing bench.
Tianjin knew that he couldn't move them, so he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he tugged at the corner of his mouth, pulled a silver step from his head, and squeezed it in his hand.
said casually: "You go and get me a paper kite, and this step will be rewarded to you." β
The two maids, who were motionless just now, suddenly stood up, and their eyes radiated a greedy light.
This silver step shook was worn on her head from the day she was escorted to marry Xie Shi. It is a gift from the princess of Langxie, and there is a row of pearls inlaid on it, and the silk is naturally hanging down, and it looks very chic, although it is not an extremely valuable jewelry, but it can also be exchanged for some silver taels.
"What do you mean...... Really? One of the maids asked boldly.
The corners of Tianjin's lips hooked slightly, "If you don't want to, then forget it." β
Her words have already been spoken, and Yinbu shakes it in her hand, shaking from time to time, which is very seductive. The two maids were staring at each other, as if they had already regarded it as something in their pockets, how could they make her regret it.
"It's fine to get you a paper kite, but what do you want this kind of?"
Tianjin: "It's boring here, I always have to find something to do." β
Not only was it boring, she was about to suffocate herself. If it weren't for the group of people to let down their guard, she would have gone out for a walk and looked for an opportunity to escape.
But it's not too late.
The two maids looked at each other, but there was no suspicion. After all, she is an unfavored aunt, and no one cares about her when she is thrown into another courtyard, and she sits in the house in a daze every day, which is quite pitiful to think about.
They left unsuspectingly.
Tianjin reinserted the silver step into his hair, rubbed his cold fingers, and turned to enter the house.
One of the dowry boxes prepared for her by Princess Lang Evil contained a lot of jewelry, all of which were just ordinary ornaments, although there were many things, but there were few truly exquisite ones.
She left here, and these things could not be taken with her.
There was a plane tree in front of the courtyard, which was very thick and strong, and a layer of withered yellow leaves had fallen under the tree.
Tianjin divided the jewelry, kept some of it, and quietly buried the rest under the plane tree. She didn't have any intention of doing this, she just didn't want to cheapen others for nothing.
At dusk, the two maids finally brought back the paper kite she wanted. Tianjin took off the silver step and handed it to them, and the two of them said in a tone that they would explain what they needed in the future.
Tianjin couldn't help but sneer.
That night, she slept very peacefully. In the night, the north wind blew down, and it did not wake it up.
The next day, it was a sunny day.
After shrunken in the house for several days, Tianjin finally untied his cloak and wandered around the courtyard with a paper kite while the sun was right, looking for an opportunity to escape.
The two maids who guarded her at first followed her around. Tianjin had made up his mind to get rid of them, and he would dislike the dense trees at one time, and the lake was unsafe, and he couldn't choose the desired location to pick and choose.
The two of them were annoyed by her tossing, so they simply sat aside and hid to be idle.
Tianjin got his wish and took the paper kite while putting the string and quietly leaned towards the backyard.
Seeing that the back door was in front of him, the paper kite, which had been flying smoothly in mid-air, shook a few times. Tianjin's attention was on the door, which was half-open, and there was a faint sound of talking outside.
It was too far away for her to hear clearly. But she waited patiently, but the person at the door had no intention of leaving, and she knew that now was not a good time to escape, and she was slightly disappointed.
Just as she was about to put away the paper kite, ready to find another chance, the wind suddenly changed...... The paper kite swayed violently in mid-air, and she didn't pay attention to it, and the thread connected to the paper kite hung on the branch.
The paper kite floating in the air fell straight down......
Tianjin secretly screamed in his heart, and pulled his hand twice hard, but he didn't expect that instead of tearing off the thread hanging on the branch, it became tighter and tighter.
Looking at the direction in which the paper kite was planted, the corners of her eyes twitched twice.
This thing is too spiritual, why didn't she fall outside the courtyard wall, she could have taken the opportunity to go out to find a paper kite, and waited for the opportunity to move.
"Hmm...... Luck is too much back! She stroked her forehead, pinched the coil in her hand and pulled it again.
I only heard a "snap" sound, and the line broke.
Tianjin: "......"
"Hey."
Tianjin looked at the half-cut thread on the branch, and at the moment she was floating with her "head" high in the wind, as if she was laughing at her for not being able to measure herself.
She let out a long sigh and had to coil the thread in her hand and follow the direction in which the paper kite had fallen.
*
The direction in which the paper kite fell was a lakeside pavilion with turquoise water. Fortunately, Tianjin's mind was not really to put the paper kite, and he still had most of the coils wrapped in his hand, and he didn't let it fall into the lake.
However, on the edge of this clear lake, there are several ancient pines with canopy like umbrellas, all of which are straight and towering. She walked under the tree and looked, her heart almost broken.
This luck is not only backing, it is simply carrying boundlessly.
Just when she was about to go back to find someone to ask for help, her eyes inadvertently swept to see someone fishing by the lake.
At the right time, the fish in the lake rushed to eat, and the man's hand moved the fishing rod slightly. Tianjin subconsciously raised his head along the erected fishing rod...... I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
