I saw that the bamboo was staring at the water with blank eyes, staring directly at the water, his expression was slightly sluggish, and even the movements in his hands were not for a while, completely losing the rhythm and rhythm that he should have, and he looked like he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiaoru couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in the end, she was a little girl who didn't have a city government, she couldn't hide anything at all, and everything was written on her face. At this moment, Xiao Xiaoru felt that this bamboo would not be deliberately sent by Huang Xiang.

"What's the matter, look at your lost soul, but what's on your mind?" As he spoke, he leaned back and leaned comfortably against the barrel, and then the water splashed, and the smile lifted his arms out of the water and landed on the edge of the barrel at will, and the sound was very soft, and the sense of nature was as if bamboo was his old friend for many years.

"Huh?" At first hearing, Zhuzi was suddenly stunned, and after subconsciously answering a word, she suddenly reacted, and then Zhuzi's face changed suddenly, only to see her trembling, her face turned from red to white, and Zhuzi said in fear, "The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake, the eldest lady spares her life, the eldest lady spares her life!" ”

"Hehe, look at you, why do you look so scared!" Seeing that the bamboo was so frightened, Xiaoru couldn't help but raise her eyes, glanced at her funny, and then Xiaoru couldn't help but quip, "Could it be that I look so terrifying, Miss, that you are afraid of being like this?" ”

"Of course...... Of course not! Perhaps because of the kind attitude of the smile, the nervous expression of the bamboo relaxed slightly, after the joke of the smile, the bamboo actually grinned, embarrassed to laugh, although the smile does not look too natural, but according to her restrained attitude before, it has been obviously much better.

Then Bamboo smiled from the bottom of his heart and praised: "The eldest lady is the most beautiful woman the slave has ever seen in her life, so beautiful that she is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky." ”

"That fairy cares about you, don't you want to say it?" Xiaoru looked at the bamboo with a smile, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xiaoru deliberately increased the word "care" in the process of speaking.

Hearing this, Bamboo was stunned, and Xiaoru's words made her feel a strange feeling in her heart, and even the eyes that looked at Xiaoru had a subtle change, but Zhuzi still cared about this and Xiaoru's identity, and had scruples, and said in a slurred manner: "Slave maid...... Slave ......"

"Hey! Since you don't want to say it, forget it! I won't force you, in fact, I just care about you! Laughing like a deep glance at the bamboo, wanting to catch the old and indulge, laughing like choosing to retreat as advance, even the expression is irrepressibly rendered with a touch of loneliness.

"I didn't ...... No...... Miss, don't get me wrong, it's not that the slave doesn't want to say it, it's just that things are boring, and I'm afraid of polluting the eldest lady's ears! Seeing Xiaoru's appearance, Zhuzi immediately became anxious, and hurriedly subconsciously explained, "Actually, the slave's grandmother is sick, and the slave is worried about her grandmother's condition, so she will be distracted for a while." ”

"Is your grandma sick? Since you're not at ease, why don't you take time off work and go back to take good care of your grandma for a while? Xiaoru didn't know Zhuzi's life experience, so when she heard Zhuzi say that her grandmother was sick, Xiaoru didn't think too much about it, and subconsciously said it.

"Slave maid...... After the slave maid ......" smiled like a word, the bamboo hooked the corners of her lips bitterly, and the lonely expression in her eyes flashed, and even the tone was irrepressibly rendered with a trace of helplessness, "The slave and maid were sold to our prime minister's mansion as a maid." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Xiaoru nodded lightly, although Zhuzi didn't say much, but Xiaoru had accurately guessed the reason for this.

All the subordinates who have been sold to various noble mansions, from now on, the ultimate life, the person who is born as the master's son, and the ghost who dies is the master's ghost, more often than not, is involuntarily.

In this case like bamboo, it's not that you can't leave the house to take care of her grandmother for a while, as long as you can get the permission of the master, but bamboo is special, and she is not treated by the master, so how can Aunt Qiu allow her to leave the house for a while, take advantage of her heart, as she wants?

He took a deep look at the bamboo, and sighed with a smile, maybe this is the misfortune of being a subordinate! But everyone has their own life, although Xiaoru sympathizes with her in her heart, but Zhuzi is not her own person after all, even if Xiaoxiaoru has a heart, it is powerless, and it can't help her at all.

"Do you have any other relatives in your family?" The corners of Xiaoru's mouth hooked a shallow arc, raised his hand, and gently patted the back of his hand that was afraid of bamboo.

"It's gone, just the slave and the grandmother depend on each other." After the smile fell, the bamboo moved her lips bitterly, her expression was lonely, her pupils twitched, and the whole person seemed to fall into a memory, even the voice was shallow to the time and the time was near, "Three years ago, the slave maid also had a gambler father, he was very gambling, and he gave the valuable things in the family, but in the end he still couldn't repay the gambling money, that is, at that time, the father sold the slave and maid into the prime minister's mansion as a maid, and since the slave maid entered the house, he has never seen his father again, and he seems to have evaporated from the world." ”

Xiaoru didn't interrupt her, just listened carefully, and Bamboo slowly told about her tragic life experience. Perhaps it was the kind attitude that infected her, and the bamboo was no longer as cautious and restrained as before, and even the words were much more coherent and fluent.

"Although the slave and the grandmother depend on each other, but in the past three years, the number of times the slave and the grandmother have seen the grandmother is simply a handful, the grandmother is not easy to live alone, and she is old, this time she is sick, I can't serve the left and right, I ......" The love is there, when he said this, the bamboo nose was sour, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"Hey! What a poor child, I'm in the prime minister's house, although I don't have much ability, but if there's anything I can help with, you just ask, don't be polite to me. Xiaoru sighed lightly, although she didn't know how to comfort her, but these few words, Xiaoru still came from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, the slave thanked the eldest lady for her kindness." Hearing this, Bamboo sniffed hard, and then looked at Xiaoru gratefully, Bamboo said shyly, what is the situation of this Xiaoru in the house, how could she not know, although Bamboo does not think that Xiaoru is really willing to do something for herself, but just as a noble master, she can say this to her, a lowly slave, it is enough to move Bamboo.

"By the way, since you don't see your grandmother much on weekdays, how did you find out about your grandmother's illness this time?" For the smile of gratitude for the bamboo, the smile was like a shallow smile, and at the same time, the smile was like a light in the eyes, and quietly grasped the key point of the problem, and asked more.

"It was a fellow slave who told the slave maid, and the slave maid is also a maid in our house." For the smile like a good impression of the bamboo, at this time for the smile, of course, there is no end to the words.

"You're a fellow villager in Aunt Huang's room, right?" As soon as Zhuzi's words fell, he hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, and then said with deep meaning.

"Yes, Miss, how do you know?" After the smile fell, Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked.

Hearing Zhuzi's question, he smiled like raising his eyes, looked at her deeply, and didn't say anything, just the corners of his mouth went up, and smiled directly at her, and Zhuzi was simple-minded, and didn't think much about it, and this doubt was directly left behind by her not long after.

Seeing that it was almost washed, Xiao Xiaoru climbed out of the wooden barrel, stood in front of the bronze mirror, let the bamboo help him dry the water droplets on his body, and then changed into a clean dress.

Because the water stains on the hair can't dry for a while, so the smile is like the only choice to temporarily drape the long hair like a waterfall, smooth, naturally drooping, beautiful and picturesque, and with the smile like a lazy and lazy look, what is called water hibiscus, at this time it is the most suitable for the body of the smile.

This is not the time to carefully dress up, because Aunt Qiu's mother and daughter are waiting for them at this time, and it is time to have a good chat, but I don't know what kind of sparks will collide in the first confrontation. Thinking of this, Xiaoru felt a little gearing up and eager to try, and then Xiaoru didn't delay, his figure shook, and he was about to walk outside.

However, at this moment, the bamboo that picked up the dirty clothes that Xiaoru had changed out of came to Xiaoru's side, and she said softly: "Miss, the slave maid took out your clothes and washed them first, right?" ”

"Well, there you go!" Hearing this, he turned his head with a smile, glanced at the bamboo, and then nodded slowly.

Came to the outside room, Xiao Xiaoru raised his head, took a look, and sure enough, he saw Aunt Qiu and Xi Bingning sitting firmly at the table waiting for themselves, just the moment they heard the footsteps, Aunt Qiu and Xi Bingning looked over at the same time, and at the moment when their eyes touched Xiao Xiaoru, the eyes of the two flashed with surprise, surprise and the look that should be unique to women, which is called jealousy.

Indeed, the smile is so beautiful that it is a little bit different from the mortal thing, and after being reborn, it is unique, it seems to be cold, it seems to be domineering and self-respecting, and it is touching and soul-conspiring, just a simple glance at it will make people fall into it and be unable to extricate themselves. In the same way, if it was an ordinary woman, I am afraid that I would have been crazy with jealousy!

It was Aunt Qiu who reacted first, only to see that she had collected all her emotions well, and quickly replaced her face with a decent and generous smile, hurriedly got up, and after taking two steps, Aunt Qiu came to Xiaoru's side, and kindly held Xiaoru's arm, and then she asked with concern: "Miss, how is it, is your body warmer?" ”
