Nobles can't use commoners as slaves, let alone people like Xia Jin who want to use Dong Fang as a slave.

"I ......" Dong Fang opened his mouth to explain, but found that everything was so pale and powerless.

"Miss Dong, don't be cranky." Xia Jin gently reassured her, "Just live here in peace." If you don't have anything to eat, just let the calamus tell me, don't be polite, just treat this place as if it were your own home. ”

Saying that, she smiled at Dong Fanghan and nodded, and instructed Calamus: "Send Miss Dong back to the courtyard." ”

"No, no, I know the way." Dong Fang waved his hand again and again, stood up and saluted Xia Jin, and left in a hurry.

Seeing Dong Fang's figure disappear at the door, Xia Jin retracted his gaze, got up and said lightly to Calamus: "Okay, go pack your clothes." "Go to the kitchen and pick up some charcoal and iron your clothes." ”

Dong Fang kept going back to the courtyard where he lived, only to find that he was somehow holding the bag of tea tightly. Thinking of Xia Jin's words, knowing that this was a good tea that was rare for the masters of the Xia family, she wanted to send it back, and as soon as she walked out of the gate of the courtyard, she met Mrs. Zhang, who was guarding the door on weekdays.

Seeing Dong Fang, Mrs. Zhang's old face piled up a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Where is Miss Dong going?" My son-in-law and girl have told me that Miss Dong is a daughter, and it will not be good if she goes out and is bumped into by the little girls. According to the old slave, it is better for Miss Dong to stay in the courtyard, and if there is anything to tell the old slave to do. ”

Since Mrs. Zhang said so. Dong is not convenient to go out again. She handed the tea bag to Mrs. Zhang: "This is the tea sent by Miss Xia." This thing is too valuable, I can't accept it, so I trouble my mother to help send it back to Miss Xia. ”

"Yo, what do you mean if it's precious or not? Valuable things in our house. I'm afraid it's worth nothing in the eyes of Miss Dong, right? Since my girl gave it to you, you can take it. Although our Xia family is not rich, the master, wife, young master, and girl are not that stingy people. If you send it away, there is no reason to take it back. ”

After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she didn't wait for Dong Fang to speak again, she turned around and left, while walking. While muttering, "Hmph, what a thing!" Both siblings can afford to live in the shack and pick up garbage to eat. was rescued by the young master and the girl, and I didn't know how to be grateful, and I thought I was a young lady with a shelf. In my opinion, the young master and the girl are good-hearted. The cost of the family is high. I don't know where the money for tomorrow's vegetables is, and the young master and the girl will bring a young lady back to raise it, which will make the wife embarrassed......"

These words were not loud, but they clearly reached Dong Fang's ears, only making her feel like she had been struck by lightning. She stood there in a daze, not even knowing when the tea bag had fallen to the ground.

"Miss Dong, why are you standing here blowing the wind? Come inside. What if I get cold? I don't know how long it took for the mint voice to come from behind her.

Dong Fang turned his head blankly and glanced at Mint. But he was still stunned for a long time without making a sound.

"Miss Dong, Miss Dong, what's wrong with you?" Mint sticks out her fingers. Shook in front of Dong.

Dong Fang finally came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine." His voice was a little hoarse.

"Ah, this is ......" Mint picked up the tea bag on the ground, rubbing her sleeve with her dirt and grass clippings on it, grumbling, "This tea." Even our girl is reluctant to drink it, Miss Dong, why are you ......?"

Speaking of which. She suddenly stopped, glanced up at Dong Fang, bit her lip and didn't say any more, only stuffed the tea bag into Dong Fang's hand, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

"I, I'm not ......" Dong Fang wanted to explain a few words behind Mint, but he didn't want Mint to go fast, so he turned a corner after a while and couldn't see.

Dong Fang's eyes fell on the tea bag in her hand, and after a while, she put her hand down, slowly entered the room that Xia Jin arranged for her alone, and closed the door casually.

She didn't care that it was only dusk at this time, it was still early, and she didn't care about taking off her clothes, so she just threw off her shoes, put the tea bag in her hand casually, and lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered her head and face together. The scent of the sun from the freshly sun-dried quilt filled her nostrils in an instant. The quilt was soft and light, and the fine coolness of the muslin cloth touched the skin, in stark contrast to the shabby and filthy rotten cotton wool she had built in the dilapidated house a while ago.

She was covered in the quilt for a long time, until it was completely dark outside, and she slowly lifted the quilt to her chest, and the quilt that had been covered on her face just now was already wet with tears.

The next day was the day to go to Xuanping Houfu for a banquet. Shu Shi was more nervous than Xia Qi and Xia Jin, got up early in the morning and re-ironed the clothes that the brothers and sisters were going to wear, and asked the maids and daughters to go to the garden to pick flowers, and pressed Xia Jin in hot water to soak in a flower bath. Seeing that Xia Jin put on her new clothes, put on her jewelry properly, and put on light makeup, she hurriedly tossed Xia Qi again. And Xia Zhengqian, who has always been reluctant to ask for help, went to Boss Qin's mansion early in the morning for the sake of a pair of children and borrowed a carriage from him.

When it was approaching, the Xia Qi brothers and sisters had already made preparations, and they saw Uncle Luo hurriedly come to report that the third prince Luo was waiting at the door.

Shu Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Luo Sangongzi who was waiting at the door instead of Xia Qi and Xia Qi, and turned his head to Xia Qi and Xia Jin and smiled: "With Luo Gongzi going with you, I will be much more relieved." ”

Xia Zhengqian glanced at Xia Qi and Xia Jin worriedly.

He had the opposite feeling with Shu's family, Xia Jin had a lot of contact with Luo Qian when he was curing his illness and looking for a house. Now, the "Xia Qi" that Luo Qian knows has been replaced by the real Xia Qi, Luo Sangongzi, will you see any flaws?

"Let's go." Xia Jin pulled Xia Qi for a while, turned around and walked outside, saying goodbye to Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi as he walked, "Dad, mother, let's go, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Xia Qi wants to say in his heart that he is not worried, it is definitely a lie. Not to mention the same thing as him and Xia Jin, just when he went to Xun Gui's house as a guest, he was a big girl in a sedan chair - the first time, he was always afraid that he would accidentally have a situation and lose the face of his parents and sister.

However, Xia Qi at this time is much more mature and stronger than when Xia Jin first crossed over. Even if he was uneasy, he pretended not to cause trouble, smiled at his parents, and followed Xia Jin's pace.

The carriage Luo Qian is riding today is different from the past, the carriage is larger, and the exterior decoration is much more luxurious. Seeing Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi sending Xia Qi and Xia Jin out, he hurriedly got out of the car and saluted Xia Zhengqian and his wife.

"Young Master Xia, their brother and sister, please take care of it." Shu Shi Yin instructed.

"Mrs. Xia, please rest assured, Mrs. Xuanping Hou likes Brother Qi very much, and she will definitely not give them any compromise." Luo Qian said.

"That's good, that's good." When Shu heard this, he was much more relieved.

Xia Qi and Luo Qian were not familiar with each other, so they stood aside after going out, listening to Luo Qian and Shu Shi, and had no intention of stepping forward to greet Zhang Luo. Seeing this, Xia Jin had to pull his sleeve, and then crossbow his mouth towards Luo Qian, he reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, are you here?" ”

Xia Jin secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.

Her brother had already started talking nonsense at this time. Don't drop the chain again at a critical time.

Seeing this, Xia Zhengqian was even more worried. But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to let Xia Qi and Xia Jin change identities. He hurriedly said: "Brother Qi, it's not early, hurry up and get in the car." ”

Although the carriage borrowed by Xia Zhengqian was not as luxurious and spacious as Luo Qian's, it was much better than the carriage hired at random on the street.

Xia Jin followed behind Xia Qi and was about to get into the car, when he saw a car coming quickly towards this side, and he was about to crash into the rear of the car. She hurriedly pulled Xia Qi by the hand, and shouted to the two coachmen who were about to drive: "Uncle Luo, Huzi, jump out of the car." ”

Huzi has martial arts, and his reaction is extremely fast, and before Xia Jin's words fell, he had already jumped off the carriage.

Uncle Luo used to drive a car in Xia Mansion, but now he has become a housekeeper, so he doesn't need to drive. But this trip is special, it is the nobleman's house, Xia Zhengqian is not worried about other coachmen, worried that he will cause trouble if he does not know the etiquette, so he sent Uncle Luo to follow.

Hearing Xia Jin's shout, he was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and finally reacted, the carriage was about to crash over. Fortunately, the groom of the car pulled the reins hard, shouting "huh" again and again, and the horse pulling the car also had some intelligence, so he slowed down his pace, and he could stop behind Boss Qin's car.

Huzi is tall and big, but he is an extremely intelligent person. Seeing that the car was an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, and the driver was wearing coarse cloth and short brown, he rushed over and shouted at the coachman, "Hey, how did you drive?" You don't know who lives on this street, do you? If you hit a nobleman, can you afford it? ”

"I'm sorry! Sorry! The coachman was also sweaty, nodded and apologized, and got out of the car.

And the Xia family had already recognized who was driving the car, and their eyes were all looking towards the car door.

The car door opened, and it was Xia Zhengshen who got out of the car, followed by Xia Zhen and Xia Qi. The faces of the three of them didn't seem to look very good.

As soon as Xia Zhengshen got out of the car, he changed his smiling face and apologized to Huzi repeatedly.

Luo Qian knew Xia Zhengshen. Even if he has a bad impression of him, Xia Zhengshen is Xia Zhengqian's brother after all, and letting his subordinates be rude to him is disrespectful to Xia Zhengqian. He hurriedly scolded Huzi: "Huzi, come back." ”

Huzi reluctantly answered "yes", turned back, and jumped into the carriage with an unhappy face.

Luo Qian didn't speak, just looked at Xia Zhengshen with a cold face.

"Ah, Luo Gongzi is also here?" Xia Zhengshen saw Luo Qian, pretended to be very surprised, and bowed to Luo Qian.

Luo Qian only nodded to him slightly, then turned his head and said to Xia Qi: "Brother Qi, it's not early, let's go." (To be continued)
