Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Seller Seeks Glory
Mingyue didn't understand that Huo Jiuge would change from her previous pleasant face to what she is now, she only thought that she was promoted too quickly, which led to the dissatisfaction of others, and deliberately chewed the root of her tongue in front of Huo Jiuge, which became the current situation.
Looking at the things that the Qin family gave her on the ground, although she was reluctant, it was more important than these to fall into her image in Huo Jiuge.
She explained to her that the Qin family saw her braving the heavy rain to beg her to save her master, and thanked her for her sincerity, so he rewarded these things to herself.
In order to make her believe her words, Mingyue deliberately lifted her trouser legs, exposing her knees to Huo Jiuge.
There was indeed a large bruise on the knee, which looked like it should have been badly injured.
This was caused by her being in a hurry to report to the Qin clan and accidentally falling down while running, but she said that she was too worried about Huo Jiuge's situation and didn't pay attention to the road under her feet.
Huo Jiuge looked at the injury on her leg and said, "It seems that you are really thinking about me, you are too anxious to do this, I misunderstood you." ”
"Miss, where is this, it is a blessing to be able to serve you as a slave."
"Since you understand this problem, you should know that your current master is me, no matter who you were before, but now everything should be prioritized by me!" Of course, Huo Jiuge would not let her go because of this bitter trick, but considering that she was still useful, he didn't delve into it for the time being.
"This time, the slave maid is not thoughtful, and in the future, the young lady will be the most important thing!" Mingyue admitted her mistakes with great interest and promised that she would not make them again.
She judged the situation like this, Huo Jiuge raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Mingyue had the courage to look up at Huo Jiuge, and just met her eyes, so frightened that she immediately lowered her head again, and there were words in her mouth: "The slave is reckless, please punish the young lady." ”
"Excuse me." Huo Jiuge waved his hand and asked Haitang on the side to invite the doctor in the house, and then said: "If you are thinking about me, and it is the first offense, I will spare you once, and the injury on your knee should be taken a look at." ”
Hearing Huo Jiuge say this, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the stone in her heart was finally put down, but she didn't show too much emotion on her face, she was still the same as before, and after thanking Huo Jiuge for her kindness, she limped away.
"Miss, did you really believe what she said?" Looking at the back of Mingyue leaving, Dongmei said indignantly, she has always been unaccustomed to Mingyue's flattering villain, especially since she was still a person around the Qin family before, and after coming to the Hexiang Courtyard, she began to run rampant here.
Listening to Dongmei's words, Huo Jiuge smiled, then turned around and asked Qiu Cicada on the side: "Qiu Cicada, do you think what she said is credible?" ”
Qiu Chan paused, and repeatedly expressed her doubts, "Although it is true that her knee injury was injured to save Miss, but with the slave's understanding of the Qin family, she is not a generous person, especially Mingyue is still a person from our Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, she already hates Miss to the bone, if it is not for Ling Youtu, how can she reward the maid beside you?" ”
"Then you mean that Mingyue directed and acted in this play because she was afraid that I would blame her?" Huo Jiuge asked.
Qiu Chan's mind is exquisite, of course she saw Mingyue's trick at a glance, and she then explained to Huo Jiuge: "The injuries on her body are real, but her words are false, although we can't determine her identity now, but Mingyue is a person, we have to guard against it!" ”
Sure enough, Qiu Cicada understood her mind the most, and she and Huo Jiuge thought of going together.
Mingyue must be a spy that the Qin clan deliberately placed beside her, in order to monitor her every move, and immediately report to her if there is anything abnormal, but if Mingyue is driven away, it is estimated that the Qin clan will cultivate other people.
In this case, it is better to put her by your side for the time being, at least under your nose, she can't turn the sky upside down.
It's just that Dongmei is bitter, and she has to continue to endure Mingyue.
In order to complete the things that the old man told him as soon as possible, so as not to delay his son Huo Changqing's imperial examination, the Qin family invited Wang Daoist to the Rongguo Mansion the next day, saying that he would do a ritual.
In order to exorcise evil spirits, Old Man Huo asked everyone in the Huo family to go to Guangling Hall, and Huo Jiuge also received this invitation.
Just when she asked Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei to dress herself, the shadow of the bright moon suddenly appeared at the door, and when she was standing at the door hesitating whether to go in, she happened to meet Qiu Cicada who came out of it.
"What are you doing here?" Qiu Cicada watched her sneakily look inside the doorway, and asked.
"I ......" Mingyue didn't think about how to explain for a while, looking at Qiu Cicada, she was nervous.
But fortunately, Qiu Chan didn't bother with her so much, and seeing that she had nothing to do, she asked Mingyue to bring her young lady's yellow Mian Aya skirt, and said that Miss Hui would wear that skirt to go out, and let her bring it quickly.
"Yes." Mingyue received the order and immediately ran to get the skirt.
Looking at her back, there was a sense of relief, and Qiu Cicada hurried back to continue to serve her young lady to make up.
"Is she gone?" Huo Jiuge picked up a hosta and gestured it on her head against the bronze mirror, looking at the face reflected in the mirror, even if it had been so long, she was still a little unaccustomed to it, the person in the mirror was herself.
"I've told her to get the dress as the young lady instructed." Autumn Cicada replied
"That's good." Huo Jiuge put down the hairpin, not knowing why her interest was a little lacking, Dongmei saw this and asked, "Miss doesn't like this hosta?"
This kind of hosta was specially taken off by the original owner's mother before leaving, and then handed it to her, perhaps this is the reason that caused Huo Jiuge to think of the massacre when he saw this now.
Hearing them ask themselves this, Huo Jiuge shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about what will happen later." ”
"Whatever! Are we still afraid that they won't make it? It's a big deal that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Dong Mei swore that in the days following Huo Jiuge, her courage has also become much bigger.
She knows her young lady's ambitions and ambitions, so she must grow up quickly so that she can be a helper in her quest for revenge.
"Dongmei is right, no matter what happens, we are not afraid of them now." Qiu Cicada saw that Huo Jiuge didn't like this hosta, and picked out other hairpins from the jewelry box, although they were not as precious as the Shen family left her, but they were also beautiful to take out.
Huo Jiuge saw that the two maids were so loyal, and his face also showed a happy expression, and at this time, Mingyue took the clothes over.
"Just put the clothes here, you go out first, here the two of us will change the clothes for the young lady!" Dong Meiyi pointed out.
Now although Mingyue is a first-class maid, she does not have the right to serve Huo Jiuge closely, she looked at Huo Jiuge unconvinced, hoping that she could administer justice for herself, but the other party just bowed her head slightly and signaled her to do what Dongmei said.
Mingyue had no choice but to put down her clothes and leave.
