"Master, this is a secret order from the capital" Mo Shu's expression was serious, "There is a new mess in the capital." ”

"It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises." Xiao Ji sighed with hatred, and always felt that there was a promoter behind this.

But he is not in the capital now, and he is not well-informed in terms of name, so it is still a little troublesome to deal with these things.

Standing in place and thinking for a moment, Xiao Ji waved his hand at the ink book, signaling him to follow him away.

In the house, Cheng Shuiyao slept until it was getting dark, and when she got up, she couldn't tell the time.

"I seem to be sleepy a lot lately." Who Cheng Shuiyao thought secretly as she walked out of the house.

went downstairs, and at a glance, I could see Duan Ran sitting in the hall listening to the music, Cheng Shuiyao shook her head with a smile, and secretly said that there was a reason why she was called Gongzi.

"Cheng Niangzi, are you awake?" When Duan Ran saw Cheng Shuiyao, he raised his hand neatly and said hello, beckoning her to sit beside him.

"Why is Miss Duan listening to music here alone?" Cheng Shuiyao looked at the woman holding the wooden flute in front of her, and asked with a smile.

"I originally planned to ask you to go out with me, but I heard that you were asleep, so I couldn't disturb you," Duan Ran stuck out his tongue, and then turned to stare at the young girl in front of him, "Her name is Xiaoyun, she was just kicked out by the music fang, and I saw that she was pitiful, so I gave her some silver and asked her to play a song for me." ”

"Le Fang?" Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyebrows, looked at this girl seriously, and slowly spoke: "How old did you enter the music workshop?" ”

"Hui Niangzi, five years old," Xiaoyun lowered his eyes, looking timid.

"So small?"

Cheng Shuiyao and Duan Ran both frowned, feeling a little more pity for no reason.

"And how old are you now?" Cheng Shuiyao looked at her figure and found that she was unusually thin, and she couldn't estimate her age from her appearance at all.

"Hui Niangzi, I'm twelve years old now," Xiaoyun raised his eyelids cautiously, but he didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Shuiyao, his eyes were a little confused.

"This age is appropriate," Cheng Shuiyao muttered, and turned to look at Xiaoyun, "Do you have other relatives in your family?" ”

"Back to my mother, I have no relatives," Xiaoyun seemed to have a premonition of something, and his tone was a little excited, "My parents died when I was a child, and I was sold into the music workshop by my uncle when I was five years old, where I learned to play the flute, but the top brand of the music room didn't like me, so I found an opportunity to kick me out. ”

"That's it," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, and she had a bottom in her heart.

"Cheng Niangzi, what do you want to ......" Duan Ran was a little puzzled and looked at Cheng Shuiyao in confusion.

"I've been short of a servant by my side," Cheng Shuiyao smiled at Duan Ran and looked up at Xiaoyun, "Are you willing to follow me?" ”

Xiao Yun looked overjoyed when he heard this, and just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by Duan Ran.

"Cheng Niangzi, although this child is pitiful, you can't relax your vigilance too much," Duan Ran said as he leaned into Cheng Shuiyao's ear and lowered his voice to speak, "What if this child is a spy sent by someone else?" ”

This......

Cheng Shuiyao's expression was slightly hesitant, and she looked a little undecided.

"Please also ask the lady to take me in," Xiaoyun saw that she hesitated, for fear that she would regret it, and eagerly kowtowed to Cheng Shuiyao, "I can do anything, and I don't want to be paid!" ”

These heads were extremely sincere, and before Cheng Shuiyao could react, the child's head turned red, and there was a faint feeling of bleeding.

"Hurry up!" Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly pulled her up from the ground, took out her handkerchief casually, and wiped the dust off her head for her.

This movement is gentle and gentle, and you can see that it is extremely careful.

Xiaoyun looked at Cheng Shuiyao, her heart froze, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone thought she was a burden and thought she was a bully, so they bullied her at will, Cheng Shuiyao may be the first person to be so good to her since she grew up.

Xiaoyun looked at Cheng Shuiyao and silently prayed in her heart that this kind lady could keep herself.

"It's so decent, why are you still crying?" Cheng Shuiyao didn't know what she was thinking, but when she was afraid that she would not keep her, she hurriedly spoke, "If you want, follow me for a few days, if you are uncomfortable staying with me, then I will definitely not stop you from leaving, what do you think?" ”

"Thank you, lady!" When Xiaoyun heard this, he finally couldn't help crying, choking up and kneeling.

"Don't don't," Cheng Shuiyao saw that she was about to kowtow again, so she quickly pulled her up and said helplessly, "I don't have this here, you don't have to make such a big gift on weekdays." ”

"Yes," Xiaoyun nodded obediently, his eyes were bright, and he looked particularly good.

"You're not going to change her name?" Duan Ran stretched out his hand and turned Cheng Shui Yao, and snorted at Xiao Yun.

According to the custom, after the master receives someone, he has to change the name of his subordinate.

"Would you like to change your name?" Cheng Shuiyao did not make an arbitrary decision, but patiently solicited Xiaoyun's opinion.

"Me?" Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Cheng Shuiyao nodding at himself, he hurriedly spoke, "My real name is not Xiaoyun, this name was changed for me by Lefang's mother." ”

"Since that's the case...... Cheng Shuiyao thought for a while, and simply named her in ink, "You call it ink painting." ”

"The slave and maid thank the master for giving the name," Xiaoyun, which is now the ink painting, bowed respectfully and saluted.

The people of the music fang often come into contact with the high-ranking families, so the most important thing is etiquette.

"Since you are Cheng Niangzi's maidservant, then I won't ask you to play the flute, and the previous money will be given to you." Duan Ran was so atmospheric that he didn't seem to care about these things at all.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at her wealthy appearance, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching.

Originally, she thought that Xiao Ji was very flamboyant, but now it seems that Duan Ran is the most flamboyant.

The ink painting was not surprised by this, and lowered his eyes and made a thank-you salute.

Originally, when she was in the music workshop, she often encountered rich and noble people giving rewards, so it is not surprising to see this situation now.

"Your clothes are a little thin," Cheng Shuiyao looked the ink painting up and down, pointed to the door and spoke to her, "Go out from here and turn west, and then walk a few miles north, there will be a ready-to-wear shop, you go and pick out two good clothes, and let the shopkeeper come to me to withdraw money." ”

"It's not too ......," Mo Hua hesitated, as if he didn't think it was good.

"It's okay, go buy it, otherwise others will look at it and always think I'm bullying you." Cheng Shuiyao shook her head with a smile and pushed her out.

Mo Hua didn't say anything more, and according to her meaning, she went out to find a ready-to-wear store.
