Hearing this, Qian Yan guessed with Chouchou: "Chou, do you think those people are some kind of dead soldiers?" When I met in the broken temple before, I came up and started fighting without saying a word, not like some kind of grudge between the rivers and lakes, and it didn't look like some killer organization.

If it's a killer organization, it should be the kind of assassination that does, the kind you see on TV are all about assassination, of course, it's a troubled time, the laws are not complete everywhere, and the killer organization may be so blatantly murderous......"

Ugly: "What you said is not quite the same, at least the dead are unlike, before their mission failed to assassinate the first time and ran away directly, the words of the dead are generally not unsuccessful and become benevolent, and if they fail, they will directly take poison and commit suicide......"

Of course, these are all things that the two of them watched on TV, and the real Dead Killer has never been seen, so these speculations are actually inaccurate.

If you really commit suicide every time you fail like on TV, then how many dead soldiers you have to train to die like that.

Besides, it is not so easy to cultivate a heartfelt and capable dead man, and it would be too wasteful to commit suicide as soon as he fails.

"I don't know what the identity of the little girl surnamed He is, so these people are desperate to chase her to death."

Qian Yan muttered to Ugly.

Ugly: "It's not necessarily an identity, it's very likely that they know some secrets, those people are a force at a glance, maybe they know something they shouldn't know." ”

Qian Yan nodded in agreement, knowing that what should not be known is that she will die faster.

I heard the ugly and said: "I used my divine sense to sweep those three people when I broke the temple before, and they didn't carry any letters or anything like that, and the baggage was clothes and some silver taels, even if I knew something, I guess it was in my mind." ”

Qian Yan nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's better to keep everything in your head, I can't figure it out when I watch TV, everything is written in letters, although it can prove identity or something, but it's also equivalent to giving the handle to someone else, isn't it?" It's better to pass on a message, which has a risk of leakage anyway, at least it's less likely to leave evidence than a letter exchange. ”

While muttering and chatting with the ugly voice, his pace did not slow down, and he walked to the west gate of the Xue Mansion after ten minutes.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chou Chou took out a bag, which contained a set of clothes and some small items she had bought before.

Only then did he reach out and knock on the door, and it was still Hou Shunzi who opened the door, it seems that he is in charge of this side door.

"Girl, you're back, are you tired of shopping, let Erlinzi take you to the backyard?"

Tilt Yan waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, I remember the way, just go over by yourself, you guys are busy with your own." ”

Hou Shunzi didn't insist when he heard this, this place is indeed not far from the backyard, and you can basically remember it once you walk around, after all, there is only one way to go there, and there is no fork in the middle.

She walked through the small garden to the west and walked to the backyard.

I didn't look carefully last night when it was too dark, and I was in a hurry to go out this morning, and I didn't take a good look, but now I look at it, this little garden is still very good.

There are flower beds and flower stands, especially now that it is summer, in the north, the flowers bloom in summer no less than in spring, like pansies, petunias, poppies, cosmos, yueji, etc., all bloom just right.

There were also a few butterflies and bees fluttering, and there was a set of stone tables and benches under the flower stand, which should be used for people to rest their feet when they were tired from walking around the garden.

It was just after noon, and when it was hot, although the garden was beautiful, she was not interested in sitting here, and the stone benches were probably burned by the sun.

Now the sun was in the middle of the day, and there was no shade in the garden except under a few trees, so she took a casual look and left.

didn't go to Mrs. Xue's main courtyard, at this time, she felt that the lady in charge should also take a nap or something, so she went back to the small courtyard where she lived before.

The door of the small courtyard was not closed, and it seemed that after the guests were occupied, the door of the small courtyard was opened, indicating that there were people living in the courtyard.

When I passed by the main courtyard just now, the courtyard gate was not closed, and there were people guarding the door, and if there was something to do, I would go in to report it.

These maids and wives are really hard, and they have to be on duty there at noon, which is much harder than the workers in later generations, after all, the current subordinates are all signed death deeds, and life and death are in the hands of the master, and if something goes wrong, you may lose your life, and there is no way to resign and not do it.

Tilting Yan walked into the courtyard by herself, Xiao Ju was staying in the side room, and saw her hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, you are back, do you want to wash up first?" ”

She looked at the sweat on her head and thought that she should wash up first.

Not to mention, Qian Yan really wants to wash up, and she has been tossing all the way back this morning, and she is sweating on her body.

Especially today, I wore a lot of layers and layers, and my body was sticky and uncomfortable.

He nodded at Xiao Ju and said, "Then please ask Xiao Ju to help me get some water back." ”

Xiao Ju hurriedly said, "Where's Miss?" This is what slaves and maids should do, and Tilt Yan can have lunch? Would you like to go to the kitchen and get you some food first? ”

The large kitchen in the house usually has some warm food, so that the masters can eat it at any time when they are hungry.

Qian Yan shook her head, "No, I've used it outside, I'll just wash it casually, take a nap and rest after washing." ”

Xiao Ju nodded yes, and went directly out of the yard, this is to go to the place where I got hot water before to pick up water.

In fact, on such a hot day, you can wash it with a basin of water outside, but it takes time, so it is faster to boil water.

After a while, Xiao Ju came back with a bucket of hot water, and directly mentioned it in the bedroom cubicle, where in addition to the toilet, there was also a bathtub behind the screen.

Now that the weather is hot, a bucket of hot water is enough, and if the water is cold, there is a water tank in this yard, and the water in it is filled every day, but it is placed in a cool place, although it is not cold, but it is not hot.

Xiao Ju mixed the water and asked Qian Yan if she wanted to help prepare a set of clothes.

Qian Yan shook her head, "I can sleep and wear the one from yesterday, that one is cooler, and I will change to something else when I get up, I went out in the morning to buy one." ”

Xiao Ju answered, went to the back and put the clothes back, she helped wash them in the morning, and now they are dry.

When you sleep, it is indeed more comfortable and cool to wear a set of muslin, and you are not afraid of pressing out the pleats.

Xiao Ju took the clothes in and hung them on the wooden shelf next to her, which was where the clothes were put in the bath.

"Miss, the clothes are on the shelves for you, and the cloth towel is here."

"Okay, hard work Xiaoju, you can also go and rest, I will go to sleep directly after washing in a while, and there is no need to rush to pour this water."

Xiao Ju nodded yes and withdrew.

Tilting Yan asked Chou Chou to take out a set of underwear for her from her bag in the space, because it was too late last night, she didn't take a shower, so she didn't change it, and she was slimy today, so she definitely had to change it.

He also instructed him to let the ugly ugly not use his divine sense to peek outside.

The ugly ugly rolled his eyes in the space, it is an ancient beast, there is no distinction between male and female, even if it is a male beast, it also likes plush, who will peek at you a smooth two-legged beast!

Little girl, I really think about it.

Regardless of what it thought, she began to undress when she finished speaking, first scooping out a basin from a wooden basin and setting it aside for later use, and then stepping into the bathtub on the low stool next to her.

The moment the warm water passed the body, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The body was slimy, it was really uncomfortable to death, so I soaked it for a while, and then I put my hair down.

Don't look at Xiao Ju when she gives her hair, it seems to be quite complicated, in fact, it is quite simple when it is scattered, directly pull out the two hairpins, and the hair will be scattered.

I don't know how it was fixed at that time, and my hair didn't fall apart after tossing this morning, so I can only say that I really have a specialization in the art industry.

Let the ugly ugly help take the unscented shampoo and shower gel, forget the soap, after washing, there will be a layer of white foam on the water surface, which looks weird and disgusting.

If you use body soap, you won't have too noticeable bubbles if you use a small amount of water.

She washed her hair with a basin of water that she scooped out before, and she usually separated the shampoo from the bath, otherwise she always felt that there was her own hair in the water, which felt very uncomfortable.

After washing his hair, he looked at the many bubbles on the surface of the water, thought about it and said to Chouchou: "Chouchou, why don't you receive this water in your space first?" There are so many bubbles, which seems to be a bit difficult to explain. ”

Ugly: "Don't bother, I just used my divine sense to splash it into the corner of the backyard, and the sun evaporated after a while." ”

It seemed to be okay, and then asked Chou Chou to take out her towel, wipe her hair half-dry without dripping, and then prick it with a rubber band, and then start to bathe with shower gel.

It took me more than half an hour to wash, and after washing, I felt much more comfortable and felt a lot cooler.

Dry yourself with a cloth towel attached to a shelf, then put on underwear and muslin clothes. After that, I took off my underwear in the bath water and washed it.

After washing, let the ugly ugly use his divine sense to hang directly on the roof, where no one is expected to go except for the birds, at this time the sun is big, and it will be dry in a while.

Let the ugly gang remember the point, and when it's done, help take it back.

I had no choice but to wait for Xiaoju to help wash the lilac clothes before.

After taking a shower, I lay comfortably on the bed, closed my eyes and fell asleep after a while, much more comfortable than last night.

……

When I woke up again, I was woken up by Xiaoju.

"Miss, someone from the main courtyard has invited you, saying that Madame invites you to come over for dinner, and the slave maid will change your clothes and make up for you."

Tilt Yan sat up and looked at the window, it was still dark outside, and glanced at her watch again, five forty-five, it was indeed time for dinner.

took out the goose yellow dress she bought before, and asked Xiao Ju to help put it on, and then Xiao Ju helped her comb a Ling Xuan bun, which is relatively simple, it is to use braids and a few strands of hair twisted into a fancy pattern on the top of the head, and then use a hairpin hairpin, which will shake but will not fall apart when walking.

It looks like a little fairy, and it looks better from behind, half of the hair is draped behind the body, and there are very few women's hairstyles.

By the time we were done, the sun was almost setting outside, and it should have been around six o'clock.

Qian Yan walked out of the door and followed the little girl who had been waiting outside to the main courtyard.

The little maid who came this time changed again, not the previous two, called Xiaoxia, thirteen or fourteen years old, very short, only about one meter four, she herself said that she was a second-class maid in the backyard.

Qian Yan couldn't help but think in her heart, this Xue Mansion is really a big family, and there are only so many maids in the backyard alone.

Let's just say that Mrs. Xue is good, in addition to the four big maids around her, it is said that there are eight second-class maids, all of whom are responsible for serving her alone.

There are also more than a dozen rough maids in the backyard who are responsible for carrying and sprinkling and sweeping this kind of rough work, and the people who have called her over in the past two days have changed three or four.

It's not like the kind on TV at all, the lady has to go to the big girl for everything, ask the big girl to go, work the big girl to go, even if she goes out to buy things, the big girl goes.

In fact, it's not like that at all, generally they are just serving around people, the big maids around Mrs. or Miss are all the same existence as the deputy miss, and there are people around to serve, some small things, such as going to the kitchen to get food, or going to find someone or something, are all ordered to go to the second-class maid around them.

Like the big girl who came to call her in person the morning ago, it was Mrs. Xue to show her value for her daughter's benefactor, otherwise she would not have used it.

When I followed Xiaoxia to Mrs. Xue's courtyard, I went to the same restaurant where I had breakfast before, but this time I used the big table, and there were three more people on the table.

A middle-aged man in his fifties and sixties, of course, should be considered old in this era, and then there are two twenty or thirty-year-old prime, who should be Xue Minghua's father and two elder brothers.

I didn't see her two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces, so I guess there was something inconvenient for my daughter-in-law or children to listen to.

Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Xue introduce it for Tilt Yan: "Tilt Yan, this is Minghua's father, you can call Uncle Uncle, this is Minghua's eldest brother Shou Li, and the second brother Shou Yi."

This is our Minghua's life-saving benefactor, Tilt Yan, who has the same surname as our family, and it can't be said that it was a family five hundred years ago. ”

Xue Minghua's father, Xue Renhe, seems to be a more elegant and easy-going person, and when he talks to you with a smile, people can't help but regard him as an elder who can be trusted and relied on.

Such people are actually very scary, and unconsciously disintegrate your vigilance.

Xue Shouli is very similar to his father, not to mention his appearance, Xue Shouli's appearance is more like Mrs. Xue, more exquisite, and has the feeling of a noble son, but his temperament is pure and pure is a copy of his father.

Xue Shouyi is more similar to Xue Minghua, his facial features and temperament are similar, and he looks like a brother and sister.

And they are not like their father, of course, there are still some similarities, but the edges and corners of the faces are more distinct, and it is estimated that they are inherited from the next generation.

The three men stood up and thanked Tilt Yan for sending her daughter (sister) back.

They also heard Xue Minghua say that they had encountered danger on the road, and they knew that Qian Yan had martial arts, and they had a very good impression of her.

Knowing that the other party was traveling alone, he also expressed his worries and instructed some things to pay attention to when walking outside.

Listen humbly.

Although there is not much restriction on women in this era, when it comes to understanding the outside world, it is still not as good as men who often walk outside.

After eating, Qian Yan deliberately talked about meeting the three members of the He family and four chasing soldiers today.

When she heard her mention the surname He, Xue Renhe and Xue Shouli's faces changed......
