Chapter 43: The House

"Yesterday the sun was shining, and today it started to rain, you say this weather, it's really weird." Shi Shiran, the beautiful woman holding the brown tray, spoke.

Standing next to her and holding her umbrella was another woman, younger and more dressed than the woman carrying the tray.

At this moment, she listened to the woman's words and was not in a hurry to answer, but smiled and did not say a word.

He looked a little stunned.

Tong Zi doesn't think so, if he is really stupid, how can he become a person who serves the young owner closely?

She barely heard a "hum", she was finally allowed by the young owner to stay in Los Angeles, so she naturally had to be polite to this woman.

"This season, although there is still residual heat, once it rains, it is still very cold." Tong Zi continued to speak, "Sister Yunmei should prepare more clothes for the young owner." ”

The rain-soaked corridor was a little slippery, and the long-stemmed plants on both sides were luxuriant, and Tong Zi was rarely careful to avoid the green branches, lest the rain splash on the skirt.

The woman called Yunmei walked side by side with her, and the hem of her skirt and even her waist were stained with rain, looking a little pitiful.

Yunmei still didn't talk, only hung her head and still looked speechless.

"Oh, Sister Yunmei should be careful, look at the rain, it's all on my sister's skirt." Tong Zi spoke again, but at this moment, she had a mean meaning that she did not perceive.

Although she was sent to other counties, she was beautiful and moving, and she had always been respected, and this was the first time she was ignored.

Why, when you just arrived here, you were about to be bullied?

She was indignant.

The hands holding the tray were a little pale.

"Serve beside the young owner, but be careful, inevitably when a child accidentally becomes a feathered chicken." Tong Zi glared again and spoke, the meanness in her mouth was as bitter as it was, "My sister doesn't even want to say a word like this, how can she please the owner of the village, I'm afraid that I will be degraded in a few days, and even I am not as good." ”

Yunmei still didn't say a word, and when she was ridiculed by others like this, she didn't even mean to return the favor.

"Hmph." Tong Zi snorted again, at this moment, it is not as hidden as Fang Cai, that Yunmei is a fool, what is there to hide from a fool who does not understand how to beat and scold back.

"Shouldn't it be stupid, there will be a fool left next to the young owner to serve closely, how can this be done." Tong Zi spoke.

The woman named Yunmei finally raised her head, and stopped at the moment.

Tong Zi was also forced to stop.

"So you can understand people? I thought it was a fool. She laughed and joked again.

Yun Mei raised her head again, but her gaze did not move away for a moment like Fang Cai, but kept falling on Tong Zi's face.

The gaze is very focused, just like a newborn child, who has been staring at a place without crying or making trouble. But this concentration will be seen in a woman who is older than her.... And the thing that was stared at was herselfβ€”

She had a kind of fear of being targeted by a wolf.

"Why, what, what do you want, are you so ridiculous?" A trace of fear flashed in Tong Zi's heart, and he didn't speak as unconfident and mean as Fang Cai.

The woman still didn't look away, and Tong Zi didn't dare to look at her.

It was a stalemate until there was a "snap".

Yun Mei took her eyes off Tong Zi's face and landed on the tray she was holding in her hand.

She herself looked away.

The lid, which had been tightly clasped to the white porcelain bowl, half-fell into the tray, and the "click" sound just now came from this. The dark brown medicinal juice in the porcelain bowl was still swaying from side to side at the moment, and a few drops were accidentally splashed.

Looking down again, she saw that her thin fingers were still trembling slightly, and she was a little annoyed, complaining that she couldn't stand it.

Yun Mei, who was looking at the other side, frowned slightly.

"Be careful." She whispered with annoyance, these medicines... Every taste is hard to find, how can you tolerate such a bad practice.

Tong Zi was startled by a stupid girl, and this time she was scolded again, naturally unwilling. But this time he didn't show it, but opened his mouth with a slight smile.

"Got it." She knows how to talk about current affairs.

Yunmei glanced at her, then turned around and said "um".

The two walked side by side towards the inner courtyard again, and they were safe all the way.

The door of the hut was still tightly closed, and Tongzi followed behind Yunmei with a restrained face, she had been to this place a few times, but every time she came, she felt very restrained.

Yunmei is used to it.

She has been by her son's side for a few days, and she is also very clear about her son's habits and habits that are different from people.

She stood outside the door and knocked lightly a few times, then pressed her ear to the door.

"Childe is asleep, come later." She straightened up and took a step back.

At this time... Breakfast is over.

Tong Zi lowered his body quietly, "Yes." She nodded in response.

"This place is no better than other mansions, so there are a lot fewer rules, and when the son doesn't give orders, it's arbitrary." Yun Mei spoke slowly again.

"This is the outer courtyard, but in this inner courtyard, the rules that should be obeyed are still unavoidable." Yun Mei took the oil-paper umbrella standing next to the wall and opened it again, covering the two of them inside.

Tong Zi was still straightening the tray, and after listening to Yun Mei's words, she also nodded at the moment, she knew that Yun Mei was opening the rules of the sect.

"Childe is quiet, so don't make too much noise in this courtyard. If there is anything, you can knock on the door, and if the son agrees, you can enter. She tugged up her cuffs, "Someone will pack up the things in Childe's room, remember to close the door when you enter the door, and the curtains in the house don't have to be opened." ”

Tong Zi looked at Yunmei questioningly.

"Where can ordinary people stand to stay in the dark all day?" She said.

Yun Mei's body stiffened slightly, and after a long moment, she chuckled and nodded, "Childe is naturally not an ordinary person, besides, this is Childe's preference, and this kind of thing cannot be disobeyed." You need to remember it, lest anything break it. ”

The rain is still falling, the paper umbrellas are crackling, and the rain under the bamboo forest is not dense, but the rain is terrifying.

Tong Zi nodded in the sound of the crackling rain.

β€œ... Childe usually.. It's not like that. Yun Mei listened to the rain and lowered her head again to return to her previous stunned state.

"What?" Tong Zi didn't hear clearly, and asked out of her voice.

Yunmei didn't respond again.

She doesn't care anymore, maybe it's also a special habit of others.

The osmanthus flowers all over the city bloomed in this rain. The flowers bloom suddenly, and before people expect it, the fragrance spreads all over the city.
