At sunset, Xiaodong served Nangong Yi'er for a little dinner, because he wanted to keep his stomach and continue to eat barbecue at night. Nangong Yi'er looked at the sky, walked under the wall to observe carefully, and gently knocked it with a small wooden stick, the wall powder fell down, and immediately showed a surprised expression, and quickly called Xiao Dong over and said, "Xiao Dong, do you want to eat barbecue?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded like pounding garlic. Nangong Yi'er said with a smile: "There is one less material for this barbecue, which is the bamboo on it." After speaking, he pointed to the bamboo outside the wall.

Xiao Dong was puzzled, looked at the bamboo outside the wall leisurely, and said in a moment's reaction: "Miss, you wait for me to ask the housekeeper to cut some outside." After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, Nangong Yi'er instantly grabbed her, thinking: This girl is still so anxious, she hasn't finished talking yet.

Nangong Yi'er hurriedly said: "Now ask the housekeeper to go out of the house to get bamboo, not to mention that it will take a long time, it will inevitably disturb others, are you idle Your young lady has not been found fault enough." ”

Xiaodong instantly realized that Miss was reasonable, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat the barbecue by then, but how could she get the bamboo outside the fence in?

As if seeing Xiao Dong's doubts, Nangong Yi'er suddenly picked up the thick wooden stick prepared in advance and smashed it against the wall, and the wall immediately broke a fist-sized hole, looking at this hole, Nangong Yi'er continued to smash until a half-meter-high hole appeared, and then stopped to take a few breaths. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Dong with his mouth open enough to stuff an egg, staring at the hole motionlessly.

Nangong Yi'er suddenly said loudly: "Xiaodong, do you want to just stare and watch your young lady work!" ”

Xiao Dong finally recovered from the shock just now, pointed to the hole and said worriedly: "Miss, how can you smash the wall, you must know that behind it is the forbidden place of Nangong Mansion, what if the master finds out." ”

Nangong Yi'er said calmly: "I just want to go to the periphery to cut some bamboo and come back, I think it's faster to smash the wall and walk over, who knows that the wall of this Nangong Mansion is so unstable, and it was really smashed by your young lady, do you want to sue." ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly stomped his feet and clarified: "Miss, how could Xiao Dong go to sue......" Before she finished speaking, Nangong Yi'er said again: "Isn't that over, since this wall was smashed by your young lady, how can there be any reason not to continue smashing, don't hurry over to help, I'm still in a hurry to get bamboo." ”

Xiao Dong wanted to cry without tears, and thought in his heart: When did her young lady become so rude and domineering, but this is indeed the fastest way to get bamboo. Under the command of Nangong Yi'er, Xiao Dong worked hard to smash a hole that was one meter high and half a meter wide.

Nangong Yi'er smiled triumphantly, and suddenly said to Xiao Dong seriously: "It's not your miss who smashes the wall now, and Xiao Dong You also have half of the responsibility, and when it is discovered, we will both finish playing, so this matter is only allowed to be known by the two of us, don't let the third person know, remember!" Remember! ”

Xiao Dong's scalp was a little numb when he heard it, and he responded nervously: "Miss, don't worry, if Xiao Dong says it, he won't die well, and the sky will thunder and ......" This time he was interrupted again before he finished speaking.

Nangong Yi'er said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, your young lady knows your loyalty, now is not the time to say this, hurry up and get bamboo." ”

So the master and servant went out from this hole to cut bamboo, and by the faint moonlight, they walked about ten meters and arrived at the bamboo forest. However, this bamboo forest doesn't look very dense, it seems that the bamboo at a distance will grow a little denser, it should be the depths of the bamboo forest, but since it is a forbidden place that no one can step into in Nangong Mansion, she should be honest for the time being, and only cut bamboo on the periphery.

After a while, the master and servant dragged the bamboo into the small garden, Nangong Yi'er told Xiao Dong to use bamboo to weave a bamboo door to block the hole, and she began to sharpen the bamboo sticks for barbecue, and everything was ready in about half an hour, and told Xiao Dong to call the nurse to come over for a barbecue. And she went to check the bamboo gate again, after all, there were a lot of debris around this wall, and there was nothing strange about multiple bamboo gates, and then the excess bamboo was also blocked on it, so it was even more difficult to see. After that, I returned to the small garden, started to light the fire, and then took the skewers of meat and vegetables I had prepared and roasted them.

The nurse, Xiao Dong and Steward Lei also hurried over, and when they were almost a little away from the bamboo forest garden, a special fragrance wafted into the noses of the three of them, which suddenly made people have a great appetite, and the pace of the three of them accelerated. When they arrived at their destination and saw the barbecue that Nangong Yi'er said, they were immediately surprised.

It turns out that barbecue is as Nangong Yi'er said, that is, the meat and vegetables are roasted on an iron shelf, and after they are cooked, according to their own taste, plus seasonings, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the like, it is actually very simple, and suddenly the other three followed Nangong Yi'er and learned how to make barbecue in a while.

Nangong Yi'er watched a few of them rush to roast, and she was happy to eat on the side, glanced at those spices, why didn't she have the vinegar she liked to eat, thinking that maybe Xiaodong's girl forgot to take it, and Nangong Yi'er thought about it or take it herself.

Walking into the kitchen, Nangong Yier began to look for vinegar, and after looking for a long time, she finally found a jar of aged vinegar from a hidden corner, looking at the jar sealed with an oilcloth, it is estimated that it has not been opened yet, Nangong Yier thought: Let me be the first to try it.

After a while, he opened the jar, found a small scoop, scooped it a few times and put it in the bowl, and accidentally splashed a few small drops on the left side of his face.

Nangong Yi'er returned to her seat, the three of them were still roasting, and they seemed to be discussing something excitedly, they didn't notice that she had just left, and it seemed that they had learned, so they forgot about her as a master, and they were really ungrateful. Okay, she just went ahead and ate what they baked, and her favorite spice was anyway, wasn't it.

Suddenly, Zhulin Xiaoyuan let out a scream: "Miss, why did you eat all of our roasted food!" ”

Nangong Yi'er looked at Xiaodong innocently, did she have it? Look at the pile of bamboo sticks next to it, it's really alas, I really forgot about it when I ate it, and smiled at them embarrassedly, Steward Lei and the nurse looked at Nangong Yi'er's expression and suddenly laughed, the maid Xiaodong had an opinion, she decided to strike, and she had to let the young lady compensate for her barbecue, and suddenly a burst of laughter filled the entire bamboo forest garden.

At night, everyone has eaten and drunk enough to go back to rest, and it is estimated that it will be very fragrant to dream at night, because she is the master who personally bakes them to eat.

But at this moment, Nangong Yi'er is not asleep, leaning against the window and thinking about other things, the first step is to smash the wall has been successful, and the second step is to start finding the path of the house, according to the design of this bamboo forest garden, if she guessed correctly, it is possible to go out of the house by walking forward around the outer wall, but she can't go during the day, after glancing at the night, Nangong Yi'er smiled mysteriously.

On the third watch, a thin figure came out of the wall of the bamboo forest garden, walked along the outer wall, and did not meet a person who was inspecting, after half an hour, Nangong Yier finally found the exit, because not far away she saw rows of ancient shops and houses, Nangong Yier excitedly hid into the bamboo forest, and returned along the road.

Early in the morning, the maid Xiaodong prepared toiletries to wake up Nangong Yi'er, walked in and found that her young lady was still sleeping, and thought: It must have been too late last night, so let the young lady sleep for a while, Xiaodong was also a little sleepy, and unconsciously lay on the table and took a nap.

It was almost half an hour before Nangong Yi'er woke up leisurely. It seemed that when she heard the sound of getting up, Xiao Dong was also awakened, and when she saw her young lady getting up, she immediately ran to help change her clothes.

Nangong Yi'er is not used to letting others serve everything, but it is more troublesome to wear this ancient clothes, so she will ask Xiaodong to help, and she doesn't want her to serve the rest. As usual, Nangong Yi'er told Xiaodong to do her own thing, and she did it herself after washing up.

Last night, because I was thinking about going out of the house in the middle of the night to explore the way, I was worried about it, and I wiped my face hastily before going to bed. I'm in a good mood today, and although it's pockmarked face, I still have to wash it well. After thinking about it, he wrung the towel and went to the mirror to start wiping his face.

I didn't take a good look at this face before, but if I take a closer look today, the facial features in the mirror are actually quite good-looking, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the eyes are longing, the lips are red and the teeth are white, but it's a pity that I have a pockmarked face.

Putting away her disappointed expression, Nangong Yi'er wiped her right face first, and then scooped up the hair on her left face to continue wiping, and suddenly, Nangong Yi'er's action of wiping her face stopped. Because the left side of the face in the mirror actually reveals a large piece of skin like congealed cream, which is in stark contrast to the other pockmarked faces. Nangong Yi'er was taken aback, but she immediately calmed down and put her hair down again to block the piece.

Thinking back to yesterday, she only stayed in the bamboo forest garden, and the only place she went to was outside the house, but she didn't let anything get on her face outside the house! When I came back, I went straight to sleep.

When she continued to think about what got on her face, Nangong Yi'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it seemed that she accidentally splashed a few drops of vinegar on her face yesterday, and then thought that the jar of vinegar was really hidden, and it was still sealed, even if Xiaodong or the nurse should have left some of the vegetables outside for later use, but she didn't even see the container of vinegar last night.

The best explanation is that they never let vinegar go when cooking, and there is a possibility that she will not be exposed to this seventh lady, if she is not mistaken, the real reason for not letting her contact is just in case of making this pockmarked face exposed. Now the person who can be sure of the knower is her most trusted nurse.

Why would she be so sure, if she remembers correctly, she was sick when she was four years old, and the day after she woke up, she had a pockmarked face, and only the nurse watched her all night that night, which was the most suspicious point.

I didn't dare to doubt it before, because the real Nangong Yi'er has accepted the truth for ten years, so the memory presented to her as a host is even more so, if there is no accidental vinegar spill, maybe she, a high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard, is still in the dark, and today I must ask the nurse what is going on.

Almost a quarter of an hour, Xiao Dong and the nurse brought breakfast, the three of them sat together to eat breakfast, Xiao Dong found that today's young lady was a little strange, usually eat a few words, today even did not say a word. The nurse also seemed to notice that something was wrong, but she didn't say it.

After breakfast, Xiaodong and the nurse began to clean up, and when they were about to go out, Nangong Yi'er shouted: "Nurse, you wait for a while, Yi'er has something to ask you." ”

The nurse chuckled in her heart, and had a bad premonition. Nangong Yi'er stepped forward and closed the door, then turned around and sat down on a chair, and asked calmly: "Nurse, is my pockmarked face really sick when I was four years old?" ”

The nurse was stunned for a moment, and immediately regained her composure and said, "Miss Seven, this pockmarked face was indeed obtained at that time, and the nurse was also startled at that time. ”

Nangong Yi'er knew that the nurse wouldn't tell the truth, and continued: "Yi'er ate barbecue last night and wanted to get some vinegar, so I went to the kitchen to look for it, and found that there was not even a container for vinegar, and then it was found by Yi'er, guess what?" ”

Nangong Yi'er paused deliberately, and sure enough, she saw that the nurse trembled nervously, including the surprise in her eyes, which fell into Nangong Yi'er's eyes, and continued: "The vinegar accidentally splashed on Yi'er's face, and then that's it." After saying that, he scooped up the hair that blocked the left side of his face and showed it to the nurse.

The nurse was so frightened that she retreated again and again, thinking to herself: Is this the will of heaven, looking at today's situation, she can't hide it if she wants to. I saw that the nurse suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Miss Seven, I'm sorry, it was the nurse who deceived you, and it was the nurse who hid your true appearance on her own initiative, and you have no complaints if you want to beat or scold the nurse!" ”

Nangong Yi'er was also taken aback by the nurse's move, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the nurse and said, "Nurse, although Yi'er is angry that you have lied to me for so many years, she doesn't mean to blame you, she just wants to know why the nurse did this." ”

Helping the nurse to sit on the chair together, the nurse began to tell the story.
