Chapter 131: The Cheap Parrot
Ye Song can take a leave of absence from the prince and return to the General's Mansion to be her second lady, she can be a good mixer and go to rob the champion, and although her personal maid Peiqing broke her legs, she can still be accepted by the general as a righteous daughter and become the third lady of the General's Mansion, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. But what can Nanshu do, she can only be a maid in the room, and she has completely forgotten their master-servant affection in the past few years!
Lingyue's body can't move, pruning gardening is very slow, she has to move her wheelchair after a few cuts, and her hands and feet are not as sharp as before. Before she knew it, it was dark, but she hadn't finished half of the task assigned to her by her aunt! When the other half is completed, it is estimated that the sky is almost dawn, and she doesn't have to sleep much, and she still has tomorrow's work to do.
The moonlight was bleak tonight, and only a gauze lantern was lit at intervals under the verdant trees. Some of the lanterns were blown out by the wind, so the road was very dark.
Just as Lingyue was drowsy, a slight sound of footsteps sounded on the path, waking her up. Since she came here to follow the gardener's aunt, she has not lived a comfortable day, she is frightened all day long, and her hearing is very sensitive.
She rubbed her eyes, her figure shrouded in the gloom of the tree and it was difficult to be seen, and she saw a slender figure walking by, her back so familiar that she almost burst into tears. Although the woman was dressed in a lilac maid to serve, she still recognized it at a glance, it was not Nanshu.
She moved over with difficulty, and saw a tall man standing in front of Nanshu, who lowered his head slightly and couldn't see his face clearly, only handed her an envelope, and said in a low voice: "The master gave it to you." ”
Nanshu hesitated a little, but still took it and said lightly: "I know." ”
The man didn't have any intention of staying, and immediately the black shadow disappeared. Nanshu took advantage of the faint light of the fire to look at the envelope, and his expression was a little complicated. Lingyue didn't realize that there was anything wrong at all, who was that man She only wondered for a moment, and then was replaced by the sour emotions that surged up, and cried out: "Madam! ”
Nanshu was startled, and immediately put the envelope into his sleeve, and when he turned around and saw Lingyue, his soft eyes moved, and he was a little surprised: "Lingyue? How did you end up here? ”
Lingyue was still lying in her arms with the long scissors of the turnstile pruning garden, her hands were blistered, and when she saw that it was really Nanshu, she couldn't cry, and said: "The slave and maid are pruning flowers and plants here, and the fat aunt said that if the slave and maid can't finish pruning, they are not allowed to sleep, they are not allowed to eat, and they will be driven out of the palace......" Nanshu came over, squatted in front of her, and gently helped her wipe her tears, Lingyue cried even more aggrieved, "Madam, the slave and maid are living so hard!" ”
Nanshu's eyes shone with water, and said, "Lingyue, it turned out that I was sorry for you, and I hurt you. ”
"The slave maid has always done this for the lady without regrets, but why hasn't the lady come to see the slave for so long?" Lingyue was furious, "The slave was abandoned by Madame, right?" ”
Nan Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Lingyue, where am I still a lady now, just a maid in the room, I can only warm the bed for the prince, and I can't do anything else." "Recommend Baidu/Chess-Zi*Small/Say/Net Reading" I also want you to follow me and stop suffering, but I ...... now"
Lingyue felt a chill in her heart, she said so, but at least she was not grounded, she could walk around the palace freely, she could come and see her, and say something warm. But she avoided the issue and took it lightly.
Lingyue wiped her tears, nodded and choked, "The slave understands." It was the slave who embarrassed the lady. It's not early, Madame, go back and rest, don't let the prince wait. ”
Nan Shu's expression paused, and said with a slight temptation: "The prince didn't summon me when he came back tonight, I couldn't sleep alone and came out for a walk, how did you find me?" ”
Lingyue said: "The slave maid was pruning here, and I happened to pass by, and I saw Mrs. standing here alone in a daze, and I thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect it to be Mrs. ”
Nanshu put his mind at ease and said, "Don't cry, are you done with your work?" Why don't I help you? ”
Lingyue shook her head and said, "No, it's almost over, Madame go back to rest, and the slave and maid are going back too." ”
Nan Shu smiled softly before leaving: "Don't call me Mrs. in the future, you and I are both maids, so call me sister." ”
After Nanshu left, Lingyue wiped away her tears and continued to work until dawn.
Su Chen drank a lot of wine last night and came back to rest in the study. On the one hand, he was thinking about Ye Song in his heart, and on the other hand, he felt that he was really ashamed of Nanshu if he went on like this, it was really the torment of ice and fire.
When did he miss Ye Song so much?
When he got up early in the morning, Su Chen had a tight headache, and there was still a tattered piece of brocade cloth that had faded on his desk. When he walked out of the study, Nan Shu had already gotten up and meekly waited for Su Chen to freshen up with warm water.
Su Chen frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you don't have to do these things yourself." ”
Nanshu smiled and said, "Serving the prince is something I feel very happy about, and I don't want others to do it." ”
He lowered his eyes and watched Nanshu help him change his clothes, carefully arranging the corners of his sleeves, and suddenly said in a soft voice: "I haven't been out for a long time, I'll take you out for a walk today." ”
Nan Shu was stunned, raised her eyes and bumped into Su Chen's eyes, the ripples were shallow, she lit up her eyes and nodded: "Okay." ”
After Su Chen sorted it out, he said to Nanshu: "You clean up first, I'll wait for you at the door." ”
Nanshu returned to the room with joy, sat in front of the dresser, dressed himself carefully, and changed into a soft and figure-showing gauze skirt.
Lingyue was about to finish work and go back to sleep, but she didn't expect to be dragged up by the fat aunt in less than two hours. Confused, she asked, "Huh? Are you going to work again? "Life is so dark.
The fat aunt said: "Hurry up, the prince is here!" ”
Lingyue was startled, and her sleepiness disappeared. She dressed and combed her hair as quickly as she could, climbed out of bed into her wheelchair, and went out timidly.
Su Chen's back is very handsome, silver-gray civilian clothes, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and black hair tied behind his head, giving people a cold atmosphere that no one should enter. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Lord Wang." ”
Su Chen stood at the flower bed, although it was secluded, the grass and trees were fresh and pleasant, he turned around when he heard the sound, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people and look straight into people's hearts, and suddenly Lingyue was even more unconfident.
Su Chen didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he got straight to the point: "This king came to you and asked two things. ”
Lingyue responded: "Prince, please ask, the slave and maid must know everything." ”
"Do you know about Nanshu's abortion?"
Ling Yue's face turned pale and she looked at Su Chen in shock. Then she pretended to be calm and said, "Didn't Madame be poured saffron by the princess, the whole house knows about it......"
"Before that?"
Lingyue shook her head innocently, and said in fear: "Before this, the slave maid was half paralyzed, and she had already been transferred away from her wife's side, and she was unable to serve anymore. The slave doesn't know what happened......"
Su Chen squinted at her, his voice was cold, and said, "Raise your head." ”
Lingyue looked up in fear, only to see the piece of cloth dug up from the soil of the flower bed appear in front of her eyes, faintly showing the original color. Su Chen said again: "You have served Nanshu for so long, there is this and abortion dregs in the flower bed, since you don't know the abortion dregs, then you should always know this cloth very well." Is it burned clothes? ”
Lingyue opened her mouth and finally nodded.
"Why do you burn clothes? The clothes that Nanshu didn't want were all sent to the laundry yard for disposal. ”
"The slave remembers...... This dress was given to Mrs. by the prince, and Mrs. wore it to the palace banquet that day. But when he came back, he was injured by the carriage on the way, and his clothes were stained with blood, and the lady didn't want the prince to worry, so she asked the slave and maid to burn the clothes. ”
"Really?"
Lingyue said: "What the slave said is true. It's just that she didn't dare to say that Nan Shu was injured in the lower back, otherwise Pei Qing slashed Nan Shu's back waist and just covered the original scar, which seemed to be deliberately framing.
When Nanshu came out in a radiant manner, Su Chen was already waiting at the door, and when he saw her coming, he smiled softly, and then stretched out his hand and led her out of the alley.
The annual martial arts recruitment is not only a good time for the imperial court to select generals, but also can boost the economy of Northern Xia to a certain extent. During this time, the capital was particularly lively, and many merchants gathered here, although there was no power, there were still a few copper coins. They are waiting to see those players who fail to be selected in martial arts, and once they have a fancy to them, they will pay a lot of money to be a servant. Therefore, there are still many good ways out for those who can participate in the military election in the capital but fail to be elected.
Su Chen took Nanshu to walk around the street, although he won the attention of many passers-by, since when did he feel that going out with Nanshu was as sparse and ordinary as eating. I still remember the last time I went out hunting and came back, he carried Nanshu and rode through the street on horseback, how it hurt her to the bone, he only knew that he wanted to be good to her with all his heart, and that feeling now looked back and found that he couldn't find the reason at all, just like a moment of freshness, now the freshness has passed, and only the torment of the heart is left.
But he's not a man for novelty.
There are people selling talking parrots on the street, which attracts many people to look at the excitement. The parrots were bright and bright, and they were very pleasing, but the people who wanted to buy them couldn't get them to say a word.
Nan Shu seemed to like it very much, and stayed there with Su Chen. Su Chen looked at her smiling eyes with a rare and bright brilliance, stretched out a hand to tease the blue-haired parrot in front of her, and asked, "Like this?" ”
Nanshu looked at Su Chen with a smile and nodded.
Just as Su Chen wanted to buy the parrot, three or five horseback riders on the street galloped past with whips, and passers-by avoided them one after another. But the horses all ran over, and only to hear a "hoo", the rider turned back upside down.
He Chen hummed and shook his hooves in front of the parrot stall.
This group of people, not Ye Song, who are they.
Ye Song rode on a horse, condescending. Su Chen turned his head and saw her, his expression was a little stunned, Nan Shu followed his gaze, his face turned pale, and he was shocked and frightened, and said, "I've seen the second miss." ”
Ji and Ji Lin behind him have always been unaccustomed to looking down on the family of the Three Kings Mansion, everyone comes out in civilian clothes, so there is no need to dismount and salute aggrievedly. It was Liu Yao, no matter whether he was used to it or not, he always looked gentle and polite, and immediately got off the horse, smiled at Su Chen and said, "The third master is polite." ”
Ye Song then got off the horse and walked around in front of the parrot stall, the boss was a person who knew the times, and came forward and asked with a smile: "This young lady wants to buy a parrot?" These parrots can talk, as long as Childe can get the parrot to speak, the villain will give Childe a parrot. ”
