Chapter Twenty-Nine: Out of the Blue
The candle flame flickered slightly, Yao Hua stood in front of the bed and shyly helped Gu Changheng take off the clothes on his body, and shouted delicately, "Second master......"
She is so obedient and obedient, Gu Changheng is not easy to pull her face.
But he thought about Yun Suiwan in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to get close to Yao Hua.
"My position has been made clear to you, it was for the sake of Madame's face that I left you behind, you had better not think about it."
thought that Yao Hua would cry and entangle, but after listening to the words, she really moved a quilt to the ground, "Second master, you can rest assured, the concubine understands." ”
She slept on the bunk.
Gu Changheng?
Unexpectedly smooth, Gu Changheng felt empty in his heart, and he didn't have a chance to finish speaking.
He was a little depressed, rolled over and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Zhao Mingruo took Ah Fu out to the newly purchased house.
Shen Qingshan used to live in the Hou Mansion with Zhao Mingruo, and after he had a new mansion and a business, he went from place to place.
As soon as the two of their master and servant arrived, a leading man in the courtyard stepped forward, "The villain He Jiang is the manager of this place promoted by Mr. Shen, and I have seen Mrs. ”
"Mr. Shen just left to inspect the shop on East Street, if you need it, the villain will send someone to find it."
"No need."
Zhao Mingruo looked around and saw the movements of those guys, "I'm here to ask for a few people, come with me to buy some charcoal and come back." ”
He Jiang immediately trotted and called over a few guys who were strong and working.
"Madam, these few work neatly, and the leader is called Wanchen."
Zhao Mingruo nodded, "Yes." ”
Her eyes were attracted by the two identical girls who had just come out of the house.
"Are those two recruited or bought?"
He Jiang glanced at it, "Mrs. Hui, it was bought back by Mr. Shen from the official market, and the two girls are twins, sister Iris, sister Lu Wei, who came out of the former criminal minister Wei Wangfu. ”
Zhao Mingruo's eyes sank.
It is rumored that the King of Wei is obscene and lustful, likes to play with prostitutes, and there are dozens of corpses brought out of the house every month, and later he was beheaded by the raiders, and the women in his house comforted the army, and other slaves were collected by the government and sold in the market.
Seeing that the two sisters were only in their teens, their eyes were extremely mature, and they were very quick in doing things, Zhao Mingruo couldn't help but like it, "Let them come over." ”
He Jiang hurriedly went to call someone, and after some talking, Iris and Lu Wei came over to Zhao Mingruo's front to say goodbye, "I've seen the second lady." ”
"How old are you two this year, and what are your special skills?"
Lu Wei returned, "Mrs. Yu, the slave Lu Wei, and her sister Iris are twins, this year is sixteen, my sister knows some fists and feet, and the slave knows a little about medical skills, and is willing to serve Mrs. ”
Zhao Mingruo only felt delighted, the two little girls who looked soft and weak had such great ability, but they were unexpectedly happy.
"Okay, this is Ah Fu, you can call her sister."
"Let's go."
Several people got into the carriage and soon went to the firewood shop.
Zhao Mingruo instructed Wanchen, "You go to buy charcoal matches first, whether it is silver bone charcoal or gray flower charcoal or stove charcoal, each will cost three thousand catties, order them separately, and wait for me to come back and pay." ”
"Okay, don't worry about the silver, as long as it's not wronged."
Wan Chen roughly figured out what Zhao Mingruo meant, "The villain understands." ”
Zhao Mingruo herself took the two little maids, Iris and Lu Wei, to her own ready-to-wear shop on the next street to measure and cut clothes.
Iris and Luvi were a little cramped, "Ma'am, we have clothes to wear......"
Being able to escape from a dire place like the Wei Palace, follow the master innocently, and rely on their own strength and ability to work and do things is already a good day that they couldn't have imagined before.
How dare you accept preferential treatment from your master for no reason.
Zhao Mingruo knew that they were sensitive in their hearts, and they didn't dare to trust others easily, so he just said in an ordinary tone, "Although spring is now in the spring, the weather is still a little cold, and it's not good to see that you are wearing thin clothes and getting sick." ”
"Order some suitable clothes, keep warm from the cold, take good care of your health, and you can do more work in the future."
Hearing Zhao Mingruo's explanation, the two sisters did not shirk.
Dude two measured.
Zhao Mingruo took Ah Fu to wait on the side.
A laugh outside the door attracted the attention of several people, and Zhao Mingruo's face turned cold.
"Yo, what a coincidence today, isn't this my big sister? How do you see it here? ”
I saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old wearing a blue gauze shirt, smiling towards everyone.
She has a swallowtail-shaped hairpin, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, jade cheeks and cherry lips, and her complexion is beautiful and delicate.
Looking closely, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were three or four points similar to Zhao Mingruo.
"Why, when the eldest sister got married, didn't she recognize the people of the Guogong Mansion? Am I your favorite sister? The corners of Zhao Minglian's mouth were hooked, and his eyes were smart, but there was a flash of provocation and pride.
The second lady of the Changning Mansion, Zhao Mingruo's half-sister.
The frost in Zhao Mingruo's eyes quickly rose, and she also said with a light smile, "I know the people of the Guogong Mansion at any time, but the dog of the Guogong Mansion, then I'm sorry, it's too much, I forgot what the name is." ”
Ah Fu couldn't hold back his laughter.
Zhao Minglian, who was still smiling at Yan Yan just now, instantly turned cold, and said with a grim gaze, "Zhao Mingruo, it seems that you have suffered less in the Guogong Mansion, and you are not impressed, so you dare to fight back?" ”
Zhao Mingruo raised his eyes, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were innocent, "I remembered, it turned out to be the second sister, what's wrong?" The face is distorted like this? Scared to death? ”
Zhao Minglian was anxious to do it.
The middle-aged woman who walked slowly outside the door scolded her softly, "Poor sister, didn't my mother teach you, don't casually lose your sense of proportion with irrelevant people outside, and then it will affect the reputation of the Guogong Mansion." ”
This is Zhao Minglian's mother, the current lady of the Guogong Mansion, Fang Rong, she is more like Zhao Mingruo, five or six points.
Hearing that his mother openly and secretly damaged Zhao Mingruo when he was a child and was not well raised in the countryside, Zhao Minglian's face improved a lot.
She obediently stopped Fang's arm and coquettishly, "What my mother taught me is that it is best to have a mother." ”
"Isn't it, big sister?"
Ah Fu listened to Fang and Zhao Minglian verbally mocking Zhao Mingruo, and wanted to reason with these two people angrily and distressedly, "How can you say that about Miss? ”
Zhao Mingruo looked at Ah Fu and felt warm in his heart, she was the maid left by her mother, and she was always by her side when she first returned to the mansion.
Weak personality, but loyal to herself, for Zhao Mingruo, Ah Fu is the only person close to her in this world, the only relative.
Zhao Mingruo protected Ah Fu behind him, "The second sister is right, what kind of mother can hand over what kind of daughter, the second sister has a black heart and poisonous hands, far higher than her aunt, and she is blue." ”
