Chapter 3: The Little Guy
A few days have passed since the accident in the mansion, and the assassin and his party were killed on the spot, and the old man was not injured at all but killed several people, presumably the assassins who infiltrated the mansion. The young lady was instructed to be cautious recently, and to have a few more people with her to pay attention to safety, and the house also increased the manpower on night patrol.
Bao Lu didn't feel that life was any different, except for the recent days when he went out or something more interrogation, as a personal maid, he still took serving the lady as the most important thing every day. Get up early and go to bed early and occasionally work the night shift, compared to in modern times, it is less of a pastime, after all, there was no TV in ancient times, no computers, not to mention mobile phones, at most take the rest day out of the house to buy some books to come back to read.
But for Baolu, who is used to watching modern bloody dramas, she feels that the imagination of the ancients needs to be greatly improved - the best-selling "Pretty Scholar", "Gentle Shopkeeper", and "Passion King" seem to her to be simply childish and ridiculous, and there is no yellow text in the whole article! This is the most unbearable thing for Baolu! What do you say romance novels read? Isn't it just kissing and hugging and playing ambiguous? But in these novels, holding a small hand almost coded, shielded, and harmoniously ...... Baolu said he was speechless.
Just as Baolu was wandering around the world every day, Bai Qi's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss, Mama Zhao brought someone to wait in the front hall, saying that she asked Miss to make up her mind who to leave behind." Bai Qian lifted the curtain and entered the inner room to salute the young lady.
"Yes, my father asked me to add a few small servants to the house the day before yesterday, and I must have asked Mama Zhao to find someone." Su Peiyi was painting, Wen Yan put down the pen, told Lilac to fetch water to clean her hands, and asked Baolu to find a cloak to add, and walked to the front hall with a few maids.
"Lilac is fifteen years old this year, and it's time to find someone to let it out." The most lively tansy flattered Miss and quipped: "Miss will leave a few good-looking ones to be small servants this time, and leave them to the Lilac family as sons-in-law!" ”
"I don't want it!" The honest Lilac was taken aback by Tansy's words, for fear that Miss would take it seriously, so she hurriedly begged Miss for mercy: "Miss don't listen to Daisy's nonsense, I will follow you and serve you all my life, so I don't want to marry!" ”
"If you don't marry, follow Miss, and when you are old, Miss won't want you!" Ai Ming usually likes to tease this little sister of Mu Ne: "Last time, I saw the little plum in the front yard close to you, and you said that you don't want to get married!" ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing...... Miss, don't listen to her nonsense......" Lilac heard that Ai Dai pulled the little girl in the front yard in, and she was even more frightened that her speech was slurred, and she couldn't speak clearly, and she looked aggrieved and wanted to kneel down and make an oath before giving up.
"Alright, alright." Su Peiyi smiled and took Lilac's hand and patted it, indicating that she didn't take Daisy's words to heart, so she turned her head to Aisy and said, "You, you love to tease her, I don't know if she is really annoyed and crying, I'll let you coax yourself later!" ”
Hearing the young lady's words, Ai Ju stuck out her tongue and really went around to Lilac and took her hand and began to coax: "Good sister, good sister, sister is laughing, how can you really let Miss send you away?" Sister Baiqi and Sister Baolu are a year older than both of us, and if you want to release them, let them both go first, let's not be in a hurry......"
"You little ......" Bai Qian, who was following behind, couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, and smiled at Bao Lu beside her, she couldn't take this little sister with a jumping temperament.
Bao Green thought to herself, now that she is only 16 years old, she used to memorize mathematical formulas and periodic tables every day in high school, and in this era, she is actually an older unmarried young woman...... The eldest aunt has only been here for a year, could it be that the ancients were so precocious and eager to get married and inherit the lineage?
Fortunately, there are no parents or brothers now, and no one is urging her to get married, otherwise she can really experience the ancient wedding of the church.
"Hello Miss." A few people walked to the front hall, and Mama Zhao had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the young lady coming in, she hurriedly saluted.
"Get up, Mama Zhao." Su Peiyi bowed down and helped up the old man in front of her, she was her mother's housekeeper back then, and later she was rewarded with the deed of sale, but she was also a bitter person, and the person she married did not live long and had no heirs, and later her father asked her to go back to the house to serve as usual, but after her mother passed away, this Mama Zhao did not follow her, but took care of all the subordinates in the house, and handed over the rewards and punishments to her.
"This is the person recommended by the government to find the person, I have eliminated the innocent and unfavorable behavior, and there are only ten left, Miss, see which people are suitable to stay?" Mama Zhao respectfully asked the young lady for instructions.
In this era, women did not have such strict secular dogma, and women who went out to trade and served as deacons at home were common. Su Peiyi walked into the courtyard and looked at the two groups of five people in front of her, saying that she was picking people, but in fact, Mama Zhao picked all the good ones, and she came to see if it was just a formality if it was pleasing to the eye, and it didn't matter if she stayed or not.
The few maids who followed her were cautious, because of the few words that Ai Dai said and laughed at before, they really took a good look at the appearance of this group of people.
It didn't matter if she saw this, Bao Lu saw that Hu Yidao was also standing in the middle of the group of people and was looking up at her, which scared her into a cold sweat. Bao Lu quietly looked at everyone's eyes, seeing that they didn't seem to recognize them, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in case someone really found out that he was the assassin that day, it is estimated that not only will he be caught and imprisoned, but maybe he will confess himself if he comes to torture, although he is not involved in the assassination at all, but letting Hu Yidao go without permission will definitely be implicated......
Bao Lu thought of the appearance of the old man ordering his subordinates to put down the board for himself, and he was in a cold sweat, feeling that the board seemed to fall on his body, and he couldn't help but glared at Hu Yidao, you said that you ran away! Now I ran to the prime minister's house to apply for the little girl, didn't I send bones to the dog's mouth? Ahh Xiang Ye is not a dog! Didn't the mask fall off when I ran away from the last assassination attempt? Maybe Su Liemen saw your face, how big is the Prime Minister's Mansion and the two of them will definitely not be able to meet or what, I didn't cut enough last time?
It's a pity that Miss and Zhao don't know what the apprehensive Baolu thinks in their hearts, I don't know if Hu Yidao's appearance really matches their eyes, only three people in the world were returned to the human teeth by Mama Zhao this time, and the remaining seven people, including Hu Yidao, have arranged things in the house, and he has also been left as a groom.
