Since it was Mrs. Tai who wanted to see someone, Bamboo Shadow couldn't stop her. He knew the true identity of Chuxiu, and he also knew that the master had just completed the household registration for Chuxiu recently, but he never thought that this incident would alarm Mrs. Tai.

The front foot of the Xiu went with the cloud housekeeper, and the back foot of the bamboo shadow went to the study to report the matter to the cloud.

Coming out of Zhiyanxuan, turning back to the verandah, Izuku followed the cloud housekeeper to the outer courtyard of the cloud mansion. The ancient trees are towering to the sky, the strange stones are numerous, the mountains and rivers are around, the corridor is turning, this time, out of Xiu has been able to see the nose and the nose and the heart, and the eyes do not squint, and they are indifferent.

Just walking, Izuku is a little strange, isn't Mrs. Tai in her own residence? This is not the way to the inner courtyard, but rather to a wider garden.

After walking for a cup of tea, Steward Yun took Xiu to the place, but saw that the arched door of the white marble was written with the four big characters "Yin Xiang Drunk Moon", and one or two women's laughter could be faintly heard in the garden.

It was really "Yinxiang", just walked to the arch, a burst of inexplicable fragrance has come to the nose, like the fragrance of flowers, and like the incense powder and spices rubbed by the woman. Or, a combination of both. Izuku followed Steward Yun into the courtyard gate, and the laughter in it stopped abruptly.

Steward Yun took the lead and stopped, and bowed respectfully: "Mrs. Tai, eldest miss, second miss." The girl came to say goodbye. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that a few eyes fell on her, she only blindly lowered her head, and her eyes caught a glimpse of two cigarette skirts, one light pink and the other light purple. I think it is the two young ladies in the mouth of the cloud housekeeper, there is no doubt.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, as if the girl in light purple clothes let out a low exclamation, as for the content of the exclamation, Izuku probably understood.

"Xiangrong, Muge, you go out first." An older female voice sounded at this moment, very kind, but not majestic.

"I want to Rong (Mu Ge) retire." The two young ladies spoke at the same time, and withdrew with great courtesy.

It turns out that these two are the daughters of Yunfu, the sisters of Yun Ci - Yun Xiangrong and Yun Muge. Izuku silently wrote down her name and saluted.

Mrs. Tai didn't speak again until Yun Xiangrong and Yun Muge retreated, and then said to Chu Xiu quietly: "Raise your head." ”

Out of Xiu didn't dare to disobey, and slowly raised his head to face Mrs. Tai, but still lowered his eyes. She knew that it was disrespectful for her subordinates to look directly at their masters.

The scrutinizing gaze shot at Chuxiu again, accompanied by a low cheer, but it was no longer from Mrs. Tai, but from a mother beside her: "Raise your eyes." ”

Out of Xiu received the order, and then slowly raised his eyes and looked at the lady sitting on the main seat. Nearly fifty years old, with a rigorous face, slightly horned lines, no ornaments, the plate is a common flying mist sideburns among noblewomen, only the exquisite luster on the ears reveals that a pair of earrings are not ordinary.

Even though Mrs. Tai was dressed in a brocade dress woven from a blurry yarn, and the Wuling auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with dark gold thread on it, Izumi still felt that she was not a person who liked extravagance, but looked very kind and light, and at the same time, she exuded wisdom and luxury in understanding the world.

These temperaments are contradictory, aren't they? But it's so fitting to blend in this legendary woman.

- Mrs. Yunfu not only has the demeanor of the hostess of a high-door deep house, but also has a shrewd and sharp way to guide the world. has been in the top position for a long time, this is Izumi's first impression of her.

At this time, Mrs. Tai was also looking at Xiu. Her eyes are deep, long, a little unfathomable, and faintly revealed. But if you look closely, it seems that you just don't care.

Izumi was a little puzzled, she didn't understand Mrs. Tai's thoughts. But she is just a dumb girl and a slave, and she thinks that this legendary woman who is high up and has an iron fist for half her life should not be taken seriously.

It's probably just that Aiko is heartfelt, so he deliberately checks it himself. I just don't know, did I pass the test?

There was silence in the garden, and there was a strange feeling that each had his own thoughts. The fragrance of flowers came with the breeze of early spring, and I suddenly felt nervous and palpitated in my nose.

I don't know how long it took for Mrs. Tai to speak in a kind voice, and said lightly: "Since the Hou Ye brought you back, he must be a measured person, and he will serve carefully from now on." ”

Such a simple exhortation is not half deterrent or preachy. Izumi was a little surprised, and was stunned for a moment and hurriedly bowed to the leader's order.

She began to rejoice that she had a throat disease, otherwise her thoughts would have leaked out and she would have been guilty of neglect.

Mrs. Tai has read countless people in her life, and this little caution has not escaped her eyes. She quietly took the teacup, took a sip leisurely, and called again: "Mother Chi." ”

The mother who was standing on the side immediately walked up to Chuxiu, took a small brocade box, and said: "This ornament is a set, the bracelet is given to the shallow rhyme, and the pendant is given to the light heart, and the lady of the bright moon earrings has given it to you." Why don't you hurry up and thank you? ”

Out of Xiu understood the meaning of Chi's mother's words, and hurriedly solemnly held the brocade box with both hands, and respectfully returned the gift.

Mrs. Tai didn't say anything more, but ordered: "Go down." The tone was light and unpredictable.

Izuku didn't dare to stay, so he was ordered to retreat. It wasn't until she walked to the door that she raised her eyes to take a look at the garden, not to mention the flowers and plants, but it turned out that there was an octagonal theater not far from Mrs. Tai, and the bats were flying high and pecking, so angry.

At this point, Chuxiu realized that the original garden of "Yinxiang Drunken Moon" was a place for guests to watch the drama in Yunfu. Mrs. Tai saw herself here, and she thought it was a little deep. Himself is not qualified enough to enter her garden.

Izuku couldn't help laughing at himself for thinking too much, but he still chose to believe Yun Ci. She swept away her distracting thoughts and gathered her mind, and when she walked out of the garden, she realized that the housekeeper Yun Zhong had been waiting at the door.

Yun Zhong's eyes fell on the brocade box held by Chu Xiu, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai has always been generous to her subordinates, and the girl is the eldest maid next to Master Hou, and she will teach the whole house to look at each other differently in the future." ”

Izuku pursed her lips and smiled, indicating that she was taught.

"Can the girl recognize the way back to Zhiyanxuan?" Yun Zhong asked again with a smile.

Izuku nodded, raised his hand and gestured a few times in and out of the direction.

Yun Zhong looked surprised when he saw this, and couldn't help but praise: "This is rare, Yunfu Mansion Garden is tortuous and continuous, and many people can't finish it for half a year." From 'Yinxiang Drunken Moon' to 'Zhiyanxuan', five turns and four folds, the girl walked once, and she actually wrote it down! ”

After that, he looked at Xiu deeply again, and sighed in a low voice: "No wonder ......"

Izumi didn't know much about this praise, so she only made a false salute and made a lip shape: "False praise."

Yun Zhong smiled and said, "Even if the girl knows the way back, the old man will accompany her." It was the Hou Ye who summoned the girl, but she was intercepted by the old man halfway, although she was ordered by Mrs. Tai, but she also had to apologize to the Hou Ye in person. ”

Izumi couldn't help but secretly admire Steward Yun's ability to deal with the world, and he was convinced in his heart. While she was thinking, she followed Steward Yun back in the direction of Zhiyan Xuan, and as soon as she took two steps, she saw Zhu Ying pushing Yun Ci from the other direction.

Looking at it like this, it didn't come from Zhiyanxuan.

Izuku didn't think much about it, but Steward Yun's eyelids jumped when he saw this. This direction...... It seems that Master Hou went to Mrs. Tai's garden first. I also blamed myself for not making it clear, but I was afraid that the Hou Ye was worried about this dumb girl and ran away in vain.

Steward Yun put down his panic, took the lead in greeting him, and said respectfully: "The old slave is about to send Miss Xiu back to Zhiyanxuan. He paused for a moment, and then added an explanation: "Mrs. Tai is in a hurry, and I haven't asked you for instructions, and I hope that the Hou Ye will forgive me." ”

Yun Ci's expression was faint, and he smiled lightly: "It's okay, you go and get busy." ”

The cloud housekeeper hurriedly retired.

Only then did Izumi smile and stepped forward and saluted.

Yun Ci didn't say much to Izuxiu, just looked at the brocade box in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Mother sent it?" ”

Izumi bowed slightly.

"But a pair of earrings?" Yun Ci asked, obviously relieved.

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise, opened the brocade box, and leaned over to Yun Ci. The fragrance after the morning hair bath hit the trend, Yun Ci sniffed lightly, and then smiled: "This is my mother's beloved set of jewelry, I opened it and sent it with a light rhyme and a light heart, I never thought that this pair of earrings was given to you." ”

He moved his gaze to Han Chu's small and white earlobes, saw the small ear piercings at a glance, and blurted out, "Don't wear them yet?" ”

Do you wear it right now? Izuku's eyes widened again, silently asking.

"Do you want me to put it on for you myself?" Yun Ci looked down at Izumi's earlobe, and his gaze finally settled on the tips of her jet-black hair.

Izuku shook her head busily, she didn't really like to wear earrings, she was just too cumbersome. But since Yun Ci spoke, he had to obey his fate.

Yun Ci naturally took the brocade box from Izuku's hand, took out the two earrings inside, and handed them to her palm.

Izumi pinched the earrings and pierced them, but the left ear was very easy, and it was easy to pass through it. But when it was the turn of the right ear, I couldn't wear it a few times. After repeating this, the ears were pinched red, and the earrings were still not worn.

Could it be that the ear piercing is blocked? Izuku muttered in her heart.

"I'll do it." Yun Ci watched from the side for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, insisted on getting up from the wheelchair, and reached out to Izuku to ask for earrings.

For some reason, Chuxiu's first reaction was to quickly take off the earring on his left ear, hold it in his hand and put it behind his back, and resist wordlessly.

"The master has an order, do you dare to disobey?" Yun Ci was even more helpless: "It's just to wear earrings, why don't you want to?" Isn't it okay this morning? ”

This morning...... Yun Ci mentioned the matter of Mu Fa.

At this moment, even the left ear of Izuku turned red, but it could reflect each other with the right ear. Obviously, he was just wearing an earring, which was far from the intimacy of Zhi Mufa, but Izumi was still awkward in his heart, especially if this was in the Yun Mansion.

She is a newcomer, although she has the master's weight, but she also has to avoid suspicion at the right time.

Thinking like this, Izuku became more determined, biting her lip and gesturing to Yun Ci, indicating that she wanted to take the first step. She didn't care about Yun Ci's reaction, so she saluted and retreated, and then left with her earrings in her hands, but she didn't even have time to take the brocade box.

"Master, Miss Izumi may not be able to find a way back...... "Zhuying helped Yun Ci to sit back on the wheelchair and reminded him. After all, it's a newcomer, and he can't speak, and he looks extremely beautiful, so I'm afraid it's not convenient to even ask for directions.

Hearing this, Yun Ci didn't care much about it, looked at Xiu's back and pursed her lips and smiled: "You see that she walks smoothly and vigorously, you should know it in your heart." ”

Zhu Ying didn't say anything more when he heard this, and pushed Yun Ci to return to Zhiyan Xuan.

The semi-arched door of "Yinxiang Drunken Moon" is carved with hollow carvings, which is the easiest for Tibetans. Chi's mother looked through the arch for a long time, until Yun Ci's master and servants were far away, and then she went to report what she had seen to Mrs. Tai.

After hearing this, Mrs. Tai muttered for a moment and asked Chi's mother: "You also think it is like it, don't you?" ”

Chi's mother nodded: "It's indeed very similar." ”

"No wonder Ci'er brought her back." Mrs. Tai only said this vaguely, and then got up and walked out of the Yinxiang Drunken Moon Garden.
