Chapter 19: One Man Finishes a Play (One Shift)
Early in the morning, there was one more guest in Mu Jiu's room.
Hearing the identity of the other party, Mu Jiu hurriedly washed his face and came out, and was surprised to see the woman standing in the hall.
God, is there still a woman in this Hou Mansion? For so many days, she hadn't seen a single woman, even the dining room was full of men, and she thought that in this Hou Mansion except for her courtyard, even the mosquitoes were all male.
"My name is Sun Yingying, I live in Lotus Pavilion, I heard that there is an extra sister in the house, I came to take a look, my sister won't be unwelcome, right?"
Mu Jiu: "...... "You don't need such an opening statement, we can still have a good chat."
When Wei Xue heard the Lotus Pavilion, her face changed slightly, and she gestured to Mu Jiu: Master, the Lotus Pavilion is the only place in the mansion where there are women, and it is specially used to house the female dependents in the mansion, and the women who have always been sent to the mansion live there.
Mu Jiu said that he understood, it was not strange that there was such a place in the Gaomen Mansion, but this appearance in Xiao Junshu's mansion made her a little bit, how to say it...... Quite amazing.
Sun Yingying didn't understand Wei Xue's gestures, but Mu Jiu's silence made her expression a little bad: "What? Sister, this is looking down on my sister? ”
"That's not it, but I don't like to recognize my sister, Miss Sun still calls me by my name, my name is Mu Jiu." These sisters and sisters in the back house are toothy when they hear it, she is not interested in playing intrigue with these women.
Sun Yingying probably didn't expect Mu Jiu to refuse so directly, and her face was a little unbearable: "Also, sister....... Miss Mu has just entered the house, and she has the grace of the Hou Ye, so she can't look down on me and wait for these yellow flowers of yesterday, but people are not good for a hundred days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days, and we are also from here, no matter how good this wind and rain Xuan is, it is not the main pavilion of the main courtyard, Miss Mu should cherish this time, and don't fall into a field like me in the future. ”
Is this ironic that she is just a concubine?
was a fake opening remarks first, but was treated coldly, and didn't get a warm and cordial that was also hypocritical, so there was a yin and yang weird irony, which is really ...... I don't know what to say.
"There is Miss Lao Sun reminding, I wrote it down, I don't know if Miss Sun has other things?"
"No, just come over and say hello." Sun Yingying got up and smiled: "The weather is getting colder, I specially sewed a cloak for Hou Ye, according to Hou Ye's favorite look, and it is almost finished now, so I won't chat with Miss Mu and say goodbye." ”
Mu Jiu: "......"
Very good, perfect exit.
When Sun Yingying walked away, Mu Jiu slowly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, sighing: "Isn't she tired?" ”
I don't feel like I need Mu Jiu's cooperation, after acting in a scene alone, wearing a kind mask, talking with needles hidden in the mouth, playing with hypocrisy, showing off to her how good he and Xiao Junshu are?
Xiao Junshu can be indifferent even when a big beauty like Wei Yingxue almost fell in front of him, how much affection will he have for the flowers and plants in this backyard? What is there to brag about?
It's a pity that Sun Yingying's position is wasted in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, where birds don't, and it should be sent to the palace, where it is the opponent who meets chess, which is more exciting.
Xiao Qingyu looked at it for a while, saying that she couldn't understand it, so, what was the woman here to do just now?
Knowing that there are actually women in Xiao Junshu's mansion, Mu Jiu doesn't care very much, don't say that in the era of male power, it is a monogamous society, and powerful people still raise a few ladies in the open, in this world where men are inferior to women, it is normal for men to raise a few women in their families.
So there's nothing to be curious about even her, if it's all like Sun Yingying, she still stays away, and she feels tired of talking to this kind of person.
In the evening, Mu Jiu met Sun Yingying again, she was holding a tray, crying as she walked, and when she saw Mu Jiu standing still, she glared at her resentfully, and then left.
Mu Jiu didn't react all of a sudden: "Did I offend her?" ”
"You didn't offend her, but she just ate a closed door at Jun Shu's place, and when she saw you, who was being favored, she naturally couldn't help but be jealous." Hua Yan didn't know where it came from, shaking the folding fan in one hand, pretending to be suave.
Hua Yan looked at Mu Jiu and his smile deepened: "Don't worry, she didn't even get in at the door of the main courtyard, but you're different, if you go over, Jun Shu will definitely be very welcome." ”
This said something profound, but Mu Jiu didn't want to understand the deep meaning of the boredom, so he turned around and left.
Hua Yan raised his hand: "Miss Mu, don't be so indifferent, when will you cook fish again?" I'll give you a hand. ”
------
After Mu Jiu and Hua Yan left, Sun Yingying stood up from the corner, and in the tray was the cloak she had sewn for Xiao Junshu, she didn't lie to Mu Jiu, she really loved Xiao Junshu and wanted to serve her wholeheartedly.
After she was sent in, she knew her only mission in this life, but it was a pity that Hou Ye was not close to women, and never looked at the women of their Lotus Pavilion, cold and cruel.
After coming in for three years, Mo said waiting, she hadn't even seen the face of the Hou Ye a few times, on the contrary, the women of the Lotus Pavilion changed batch after batch, all of them died because of the Hou Ye.
She's dead, but .......
At night, Mu Jiu was knocking walnuts with Xiao Qingyu, and Dongyue brought two people in: "Miss Mu." ”
Mu Jiu looked over: "Is there something wrong with the commander of East Vietnam?" ”
"There was arsenic in the Hou Ye's meal tonight, I have already interrogated the people in the dining room, only herring fish went to the dining room to get the ingredients this evening, and he also circled around the stove twice, now please come with me."
Mu Jiu turned his head to look at Qingyu: "What did you do?" ”
Qingyu hurriedly shook his head: "Slave maid...... I wanted to come, but I was afraid of causing trouble for my master, so I didn't do it......."
Mu Jiu: "......" If you really want to start, maybe I will praise you, cowardice.
Turning his head to look at Dongyue: "Heard?" She didn't do it. ”
Dongyue: "......" which sentence should he hear? Did the herring try to poison it, or did it not do it in the end? Are the two masters and servants so blatantly trying to harm people?
"I was just ordered to invite someone, and I also asked Miss Mu and Miss Qingyu to go over together."
There was no way, Mu Jiu clapped his hands: "Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look." ”
Dongyue looked at Mu Jiu's attitude, and for a while he really couldn't understand whether she was open in her heart or fearless.
In the main courtyard, Xiao Junshu sat on the main bathroom and drank tea, and the chef and men in the dining room knelt on the ground, but there was no bloody and cruel scene.
"Master Hou is really fateful, and poison can't poison you if it is delivered to your mouth." Mu Jiu strode in and found a place to sit down: "If you want to ask something, hurry up." ”
Xiao Junshu slowly put down the teacup, his cold eyes revealing a striking sharpness: "You tell her again." ”
The steward of the dining room immediately identified Qingyu: "Master Qiyu, it's her, she is the only one who has been to the dining room today, and she has circled around the stove several times, it must be her poison." ”
