The footsteps were small and rapid, and they were getting closer and closer in this direction.

Lan E squinted and looked over, just as she took out a handkerchief to wipe her forehead, and muttered again: "Why haven't you come yet...... Didn't you stumble?"

Originally, she hooked her head when she walked, and when she wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, the handkerchief blocked the upper half of her face, but as soon as the handkerchief was removed......

Lan E saw who she was in an instant.

Seeing the person clearly, Lan E couldn't help frowning.

Isn't this slave a blessing? She didn't serve the Pei clan in Huiyue Pavilion, what was she doing here?

Lan E's eyes rolled, and she held her breath again.

Fuxi wiped his sweat, then took a handkerchief and fanned the wind, looking around while fanning. When he found that there seemed to be no movement around except for the wind blowing and the trees, the maid couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said in shock: "Startle me." ”

Saying "startled", the maid's face changed, and she simply lifted her skirt and ran away.

She was running fast.

Is there a ghost behind you? I'm not afraid of losing my foot. Lan E sneered in her heart, and the footsteps she heard again went away, and then she leaned out leisurely.

It's just that she was about to poke out, and she heard Fuxi whispering: "Why are you here now?"

Hey? Someone else is coming.

Lan E slowly leaned back again, and waited until her back was completely against the tree pole, and then she stood still.

The person who came snorted and didn't explain why he was late, but asked coldly: "If there is anything urgent, I'm very busy." ”

The man seemed to be extremely impatient.

After a few breaths, Fu Xi muttered quietly: "The eldest lady ordered me to serve the head of the family tonight." ”

The man sneered: "She wants to use you against that?" It's a good calculation. ”

Which?

Lan E's heart flashed...... Yanran? It is normal for the eldest woman to raise her henchman and maid, and then use this servant to suppress the favored concubine.

It's just that......

Lan E narrowed her eyes and listened intently.

Fuxi cried quietly: "The head of the family...... I don't want to be a Himeto. ”

The man did not speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fuxi cried and said: "I have been doing my best in the past few years, why don't you go and beg Langjun, I ......." ”

"No!" Before she could finish speaking, the man answered coldly: "Your Excellency is busy with big things now, how can you use such a trivial matter to make him annoy......

With this, the man's voice suddenly stopped.

The man was alert.

Lan E held her breath for a moment.

After waiting for more than a dozen breaths, the man whispered, "This is not the place to speak, you go back." ”

As he spoke, the man turned and walked out.

Hearing the sound of footsteps out of the forest, the other seemed to be stumbling into the depths of the forest, Lan E turned sideways, but she was about to move, Li Ma jumped down from the tree, and said in a low voice: "Lady, the old slave will go and have a look." ”

With that, he straightened his waist and stood up, and disappeared in an instant.

This old woman......

Lan E bent the corners of her lips and shouted softly: "Xian Niangzi, Ah Xian, come out." ”

She shouted without saying twice, and Wang Xian turned out from behind the tree and muttered in a low voice, "That woman sounds like ...... It's like the outer yard, right?"

With Mama Li here, no matter which courtyard she is, she can't run away.

Lan E pulled Wang Xian over and said, "Let's go back to the Diecui Pavilion." ”

At this time, it was about to be twilight, and when the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain along the trail, they happened to meet Amo Aqiu coming down the mountain to pick up people. The sisters followed the little girl back to their residence.

Lanterns have been lit in front of the courtyard full of flowers.

A few maids were originally standing under the front porch of the hall with their hands down, and when they saw Lan'e enter the courtyard, all the maidservants saluted together.

At the end of the ceremony, one of the servants stepped forward to open the curtain, and the other servants did not wait for the order, and went to the kitchen to carry the water, and went into the house to light the lamp.

In a moment, the courtyard was brightly lit.

After washing her hands and face, and changing her cloth robe, Lan E leaned on the low couch to rest.

She leaned on the couch and squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep, so Mo moved the small pestle and sat on the edge of the couch to play a fan, and after a few fanning, the little girl whispered: "Lady, is the lady asleep?"

This little girl probably has something to talk about.

Lan E didn't open her eyes, but said lazily: "What's the matter, let's hear about it." ”

Ah Mo took a fan and fanned a few times: "The maid heard that the eldest lady wanted to lift Fuxi, and Fuxi cried for half an afternoon today." ”

If Pei's knew that his henchmen didn't want to be "promoted...... I don't know what the means will be? Substitution? Still is......

Lan'e opened her eyes and glanced at Mo: "Aren't there four personal girls beside the eldest aunt?" Fuxi didn't want to, so she just changed people. ”

"Oh, the lady doesn't know." Ah Mo moved the small skewer forward, and when her knees almost touched the edge of the couch, she said mysteriously: "Those Ji people in the backyard spin and weave cloth every day, and they also eat...... Alas! ”

Spun weaving? The dignified lady of the family actually used this method to manage the inner house, but she is really capable.

Lan E sneered in her heart, closed her eyes again and asked, "Uncle doesn't care?"

In other words, those Ji people have suffered such grievances in vain, and they will not sue?

The lady laughed again. Ah Mo pursed her mouth: "It's not that the lady doesn't know what the patriarch is." ”

What kind of temperament, but ...... Only for Pei's soft ears?

Lan E thought about this, and her eyelids sank a little.

Seeing that she closed her eyes and didn't move, Ah Mo stood up and walked out of the inner room lightly. It's just that the little girl is about to walk to the door of the outer hall, and the jade pendant horn "jingles", and Li Ma lifted the curtain and entered the hall.

Ah Mo hurriedly shouted: "Mama", after shouting this, seeing the old woman going to the inner room with a straight face, the little girl was bold and said: "The lady is afraid that she is asleep." ”

Mama Li's eyes were gloomy and swept towards her, and she ordered, "Go and guard outside the corridor." ”

Ah! The old woman looked like a knife...... Ah Mo shrunk her neck and hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed out.

There is only a carved partition between the outer hall and the inner room, and the partition is hung with light veil, so the two of them are talking in the outer hall, and Lan E can hear clearly in the inner room.

Lan E rolled over and sat up.

Mama Li entered the inner room. Seeing her sitting on a low couch, the old woman stepped forward to give her a child. After saluting, he lowered his hand and said: "Back to the lady, that woman is not from the old house." ”

Not the people of the old house? That is to say, this man enters and exits the royal house as if he were in his own home!

Lan E's heart moved, sat up straight and asked, "Who is she...... Pei's family?"

"The lady guessed wrong this time." Mama Li lowered her eyelids, and said expressionlessly: "The old slave followed her out of the house, followed her to the North and South Streets, and then ...... The old slave was lost. ”

Lose someone? Is this woman a master?

Lan E frowned.

Hearing that she didn't make a sound, Mama Li lifted her eyelids, looked at Lan E and said: "The old slave followed this woman up the North and South Streets, and when she reached the end of the street, she happened to hit dozens of ox carts pulling firewood, and the woman didn't know where to go in a blind eye. ”

Just hit dozens of ox carts?

Lan E suddenly remembered that two days ago, the streets were full of little ladies wearing apricot red skirts, and these dozens of ox carts were almost the same as the "apricot red skirts" all over the street.
