Chapter 75: The Maid Who Sleeps
In the afternoon, the sun is shining.
Luo Qingfeng sat at his desk, quietly looking at the book, thinking about tomorrow's teaching content.
Since you want to stay here for the time being, you naturally have to take the first class.
Besides, the pay is really generous.
He was even wondering if he could do both?
Anyway, there are only four days a month here.
I usually practice in the Demon Suppression Academy, and occasionally go out to take some tasks to earn money, and when I come here to take classes, I will rush back.
Wouldn't it be possible to get double the pay without delay?
The idea is beautiful, but it is still a bit difficult to implement, and there should be conflicts for a lot of time.
Compare the time to do tasks and classes.
There is no guarantee that a task will take days to complete.
Outside the window, the sun is gradually setting in the west.
While Luo Qingfeng was reading the book and thinking about things, Xiao Tao was quietly sitting in the corridor embroidering, ready to obey orders.
In the evening.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
When Xiao Tao heard this, she immediately got up and walked over.
When she opened the door, her face was suddenly full of surprise and joy: "Xiaoduo, Xiaomei, how do you know that I am here?" Are you here to play with me? ”
When the two maids saw that she was the one who opened the door, they were also full of surprise, and immediately reacted.
"Xiao Tao, are you serving Luo Gongzi?"
Xiao Duo's eyes widened, and it seemed a little incredible.
Xiao Mei was full of envy, and her eyes secretly glanced towards the small courtyard, as if she wanted to see what Xiao Tao and that Luo Gongzi were secretly doing inside with the door closed in broad daylight.
When Xiao Tao heard this, she was even more surprised: "Do you also know my son-in-law?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately decided.
Xiao Duo immediately said: "Xiao Tao, we are here to ask for sugar gourd, your son-in-law promised us." ”
Xiaomei pouted and said, "Your son-in-law won't forget it, right?" ”
Immediately, he told him about the encounter with Luo Qingfeng today.
At this time, Luo Qingfeng had already heard the voice and walked out.
He held two strings of sugar gourds in his hands, and when he saw the two pretty little maids, he immediately walked to the door and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten, thank you to the two girls today." ”
After the two saw the sugar gourd covered with frosting and shiny, their eyes suddenly lit up, their faces were full of happiness, and they couldn't help but swallow saliva in their mouths, and hurriedly took it in their hands, staring at the sugar gourd in their hands without blinking, and even forgot to thank them.
Xiaomei couldn't help but open her mouth to bite, and suddenly said "oops": "It's so hard......"
Luo Qingfeng said: "Don't be in a hurry to bite, lick it first, wait until it's hard, no, wait until the syrup melts and then bite ......"
When the two little maids heard this, they immediately stretched out their pink little tongues together and began to lick them.
"Wow! It's so sweet! It's so cold! ”
The two little maids suddenly danced happily, and their eyes were bent.
When they took their first bite and tasted the sweet and sour taste of crunchy ice, their eyes were about to close.
"Wow! It's delicious! It's so delicious! ”
"Childe's sugar gourd is so delicious!"
The two little maids were very happy.
Xiao Tao stood aside, swallowing saliva, but did not dare to speak.
Luo Qingfeng leaned into her ear and whispered: "Childe still has it here, I'll give it to you later, you go into the house first, I'll ask them something." ”
Seeing that he was so intimate and spoke softly, Xiao Tao was immediately shy and happy, and said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”
Then he turned and went into the house.
Xiao Duo Xiaomei was still standing at the door licking the sugar gourd together, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.
Luo Qingfeng "coughed" and asked about the matter: "By the way, two girls, do you know Ah Lian?" ”
"Ah Lian?"
Xiao Duo immediately nodded and said: "I know, Sister Ah Lian is a maid who serves the fourth lady, and we are a maid who helps several ladies pick flowers, and we often meet." ”
Luo Qingfeng's heart moved, and he said, "Does Ah Lian often go to the flower garden in the bamboo forest to pick flowers?" ”
Xiao Duo thought for a moment and said, "I don't go often, but I do go occasionally." ”
At this time, Xiaomei's lips were shining: "Does Childe know Sister Ah Lian?" She's already out of the house. ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "Do you know what the reason is?" ”
Xiaomei shook her head and continued to lick the sugar gourd in her hand, as if she was reluctant to bite it again.
Xiao Duo said in a low voice: "I heard that it was redeemed by her family, and I also heard that it was...... She secretly ran away with someone, and she said everything. ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "Did she leave suddenly?" ”
Xiao Duo nodded and said, "Yes, everyone doesn't know yet, and you won't be able to see her when you get up the next day." Someone asked the fourth lady, and I heard that the fourth lady was also very angry at the beginning and asked people to look for it, but in the evening, the lady told everyone that Sister Ah Lian had left the house, so we were not allowed to discuss it anymore. ”
Luo Qingfeng said secretly in his heart: It seems that he disappeared suddenly, and the house was afraid of causing panic, so he had to hide it, after all, there had been several cases of dead people before.
Luo Qingfeng asked about other things.
The two of them seemed to know very little, and neither of them could answer.
After another moment.
The two finally reluctantly finished eating the sugar gourd in their hands, and kept licking the bamboo sticks in their hands with their little tongues.
Xiao Duo said: "Young Master Luo, we are leaving, and we will go to flower arrangement later,"
Luo Qingfeng nodded and thanked again: "Thank you two girls for today's matter." ”
Xiao Mei held a clean bamboo skewer in her hand, licked her bright lips, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Young Master Luo, if you want to go through the back door next time, you can find our sisters again." The road in the house is very complicated, and Childe will definitely get lost if he walks alone. ”
Xiao Duo also smiled: "Childe, we are on call." ”
Luo Qingfeng smiled and nodded.
After the two of them walked a few steps, Xiao Mei couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Young Master Luo, we live in the Yunjin courtyard next to the Lotus Moon Garden, you remember to go to us." Not only the road to the back door, but also the other roads in the house, we are also very familiar with it, if Childe needs it, we can help. ”
Luo Qingfeng's heart moved, and he said, "Okay." ”
Xiaomei smiled and left.
Luo Qingfeng stood at the gate of the small courtyard for a while, and then returned to the house.
Xiao Tao came out of the back room, lowered her head, and said with a gloomy expression: "Childe......"
Luo Qingfeng saw that her expression was wrong, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Tao said with red eyes: "Did Childe take a fancy to Xiao Duo and Xiao Mei?" ”
Luo Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, took out a string of sugar gourds from behind him, handed them to her, and said, "What do you think, just ask them something, where do they have you looking good." ”
Xiao Tao wiped her tears and said a little depressed: "But, but...... Xiaomei's breasts are so big......"
Luo Qingfeng: "......"
He glanced at the little girl's chest and said, "You're not small." ”
Xiao Tao blushed suddenly, took the sugar gourd, and said, "However, they are two people......
Luo Qingfeng reached out and rubbed her head, and said, "The two of them can't compare to you." ”
Xiao Tao raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she said: "If the son doesn't want slaves and maids, slaves and maids can only go to the well, and slaves and maids don't go out and be sold like those people, life is better than death." ”
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Eat the sugar gourd, I won't want you." ”
Xiao Tao burst into tears and smiled, nodded and said, "Mm-hmm." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his pink little tongue and licked it, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, with a happy expression on his face: "It's so sweet......"
Luo Qingfeng smiled and entered the house.
Looking at the spotless room, and then at the two pillows on the bed, one large and one small, he frowned slightly.
Dinner is still one meat and two vegetables.
Luo Qingfeng excused himself to be sick and not hungry, so he didn't eat.
Xiao Tao was afraid of wasting, so she had to eat it herself.
After the little maid packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left, Luo Qingfeng took out the cooked beef from the storage bag and ate about four catties.
After eating and drinking, he sat in front of the window, digesting and thinking about his plans for the evening.
He had to get in touch with Sister Nightingale first.
Otherwise, in the middle of the night, he really didn't dare to go alone to the hut in the flower garden.
If you encounter a powerful demon, it is really a matter of not being able to do it every day, and it is not good for the earth. When the time comes, he will be killed quietly, not to mention, Sister Nightingale, and they will not be able to escape the poison.
At least one needs to take care of each other, or one that can sound the alarm.
It's a pity that he doesn't know many people in this mansion, and they are all subordinates, so he can't find out whose guard Sister Nightingale has become, and he doesn't know where he lives.
It seems that I can only try my luck tonight and go out to see it myself.
But suddenly, something came to him.
Put yourself in their shoes.
If he was the demon hidden in the mansion, he must have been familiar with anyone in the mansion for a long time. So as long as there are new strangers in the house, the other party will definitely pay attention, and even secretly observe for some time.
So most likely, he's being watched now!
The big butler? Little Peach? How many maids? The four housekeepers, or even Uncle Ah Bian, or someone else?
It's all possible!
If this is the case, then in the first few days of his arrival, he should definitely not act rashly and startle the snake.
Maybe the "Ah Lian" he met today is the devil who is testing him or playing a trick on him!
Thinking like this, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.
So, can you only endure for a few days and wait for the other party to relax their vigilance?
It is estimated that in a few days, the other party's attention will be focused on the unfamiliar faces of those demon slayers, after all, he is just a teacher, and he acts very similarly, he is proficient in poetry and songs, and even the big housekeeper is impressed, so the suspicion should be the least.
After thinking about it like this, he had to hold back the impulse in his heart and decided to wait and see what happened and endure it for a while.
Those demon slayers may not be patient, if they make a move, they will naturally attract the demon's gaze, and at that time, it is naturally the best time for him to act secretly.
However, he was still a little worried about Sister Nightingale.
Tomorrow we will have to find a way to get in touch with them, listen to their plans, and find out how their personnel are allocated.
At this time.
Outside the window, the night has quietly fallen.
Xiao Tao hummed a song in her mouth and returned to the courtyard happily.
It is estimated that there are maids who ridicule and envy her.
"Childe, the slave maid will boil water for you to bathe."
She whispered in the courtyard and was about to go into the kitchen.
Luo Qingfeng said: "No, I just washed it last night." ”
Xiao Tao looked at him outside, and said a little strangely: "Doesn't Childe wash every night?" ”
Luo Qingfeng suddenly thought that this was a noble family, and the mansion was built on a hot spring, so it was convenient to take a bath, and it was estimated that the people in the mansion washed every night.
He had to say, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't wash it." ”
Xiao Tao smiled: "Childe doesn't need to exert strength, after a while, Childe just soak in the water, and the slave waits for Childe to wash." ”
After speaking, two blushes rose on the little face.
Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again and said, "Do you wash it?" ”
Xiao Tao's cheeks were even redder, and she bowed her head shyly and said, "Slave maid...... The slave maid has just been washed outside, but if the son doesn't mind, the slave maid ...... Slaves and maids can wash ...... together with their sons."
Luo Qingfeng was about to speak again when a maid's voice suddenly came from outside the gate: "Is Young Master Luo here?" ”
When Xiao Tao heard this, she hurriedly went over and opened the door and said, "Sister Xiaolan, my son-in-law is here, is there something wrong?" ”
Xiaolan glanced at her lightly and said, "The big housekeeper invited Young Master Luo to come over." ”
When Luo Qingfeng heard the voice, he came out of the house and asked, "What is the big housekeeper looking for me?" ”
Xiaolan bowed her head slightly and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Luo Qingfeng glanced at the sky, secretly vigilant in his heart, and said, "Let's go." ”
Little Blue leads the way in front.
Xiao Tao hurriedly asked in a low voice behind him, "Childe, do you want to boil water?" ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "No. ”
Xiao Tao said "oh" and stopped talking.
After the two of them walked away, she returned to the house, lit the oil lamp, looked left and right in the room, and then shyly fiddled with the two pillows on the bed, her heart was full of happiness and expectation: In the future, this is where my son and I live, I am no longer afraid of being sent out, as long as my son does not dislike me, I will serve my son for the rest of my life......
She sat on the edge of the bed, thinking shyly about tonight's bedtime, when she suddenly looked up and looked at the window.
"Who?"
The oil lamp on the table seemed to flicker.
The windows were closed, and nothing unusual was there.
But in the afterglow of her eyes just now, it seemed that she saw a dark shadow reflected in the window, but why didn't she have it?
Is it dazzling?
The little girl is simple-minded, young and young, she has never been out of the house, and she has never heard of those terrible things, so she just feels strange and confused, and does not feel afraid.
She got up and walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and looked out.
Outside, the silver moon was like frost, sprinkled in the small courtyard.
There was nothing in the courtyard except orange trees, pear trees, and other flowers.
"I guess I'm dazzled......"
She looked outside again and closed the window.
Back to the bedside, she couldn't help touching the quilt and pillow again, and then lay down a little shyly, and secretly said in her heart: Childe praises me for being beautiful and cute, and he will definitely not dislike me...... Tonight...... I'm going to serve my son well tonight......
"Squeak......
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Oops, is Childe back?"
She hurriedly got up from the bed and looked at the door of her room with a blushing face.
However, the door only opened a crack, and no one entered.
Outside the door, there was silence.
These two days are big chapters, not just two chapters, everyone looks at the number of words.
Because I still have to work, I recently signed up for an interest class, and I don't have any manuscripts, so it's already the limit.
Thank you all for your support.
