"Who?"

The little maid looked at the crack in the door and shouted again.

This time, she was a little scared.

How could the door suddenly open automatically?

And it's so quiet outside, it's clear that there was wind just now.

"Squeak......

At this time, the door, which only opened a gap, was slowly pushed open again.

Xiao Tao's eyes widened suddenly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the small courtyard outside: "Little Peach! Little Peach! ”

Xiao Tao was startled, and hurriedly went over and opened the window.

The two sisters, Xiao Zi and Xiao Jing, walked into the small courtyard, and Xiao Zi smiled: "I just saw Luo Gongzi go to the big housekeeper, our sisters just happened to be fine, come to play with you for a while." Are you welcome? ”

Xiao Tao immediately forgot about her fear and said with a smile: "Of course welcome, come in." ”

Xiao Jing smiled: "Can I enter the room?" Isn't that room where Xiao Tao and your son-in-law sleep? ”

Xiao Tao suddenly blushed and said with a smile: "Then stand outside." ”

"Hee-hee, we're going to go in and have a look!"

The twin sisters grinned and entered the house.

The three of them sat down in the room and chatted, and the two sisters looked at the pillows placed together on the bed, and began to deliberately tease and tease Xiao Tao again.

After a while, the room was filled with the sound of playful chasing.

At this moment, in the shadow of the eaves, a dark shadow quietly left.

Meanwhile.

Luo Qingfeng, under the leadership of Xiaolan, came to the courtyard where the big housekeeper lived.

In the halls.

Mei Hanliu, the chief butler, was sitting upright in a chair thinking about things.

Xiaolan went in first and said goodbye.

After receiving the reply, Luo Qingfeng walked in and arched his hand: "I don't know what the big butler is calling, what is the matter?" ”

Mei Hanliu frowned: "Can't I summon you if it's okay?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "I have to prepare for tomorrow's class." ”

Mei Hanliu glanced at him, but was not angry because of his attitude, and nodded slightly: "It's good to pay attention to it." If you come here, I will tell you that I will go to school early tomorrow morning and prepare all the homework I will teach tomorrow. The old lady knows about your teaching today, maybe tomorrow I will send a maid to see your real ability, or I will go in person, if you don't behave well, then the old lady will not like it, I will also be blamed. If I am rebuked, you will have no reward. ”

When Luo Qingfeng heard this, he felt that this was not good, and arched his hand: "The big housekeeper, don't you need to sign a contract when you come down to be a teaching student?" ”

Mei Hanliu said: "Of course you need." I asked you to come here tonight, in addition to telling you these things, to let you sign the contract. To do things in my Ningguo Mansion, you naturally have to follow the rules. However, a contract is a contract, and what this steward says counts. If you don't teach well and you get into trouble with the steward, the steward will punish you with all your reward. ”

Luo Qingfeng muttered secretly in his heart: What's the use of a contract?

But he had to say: "The big housekeeper can rest assured, I will not live up to the expectations of the big housekeeper!" ”

Mei Hanliu glanced at him again and said, "Xiaolan, show the contract to Mr. Luo." ”

Xiaolan agreed, immediately took the contract, and handed it to Luo Qingfeng.

Luo Qingfeng took it, one by one under the lamp, looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and after reading it, he couldn't help but say, "Big butler, is this contract a bit harsh?" Not to mention anything else, is this first signing for three years? ”

Mei Hanliu said lightly: "Yes." ”

Luo Qingfeng naturally didn't believe it, and said, "Then those teaching gentlemen, are they too?" ”

Mei Hanliu said: "Naturally, it is also, but they have no real talent and learning, and they were driven away by this housekeeper." ”

Luo Qingfeng's heart moved: "If you are driven away, it is a violation of the contract, is there any compensation?" ”

Mei Hanliu glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Naturally, there is compensation, compensation for three months." ”

Trimester?

Luo Qingfeng was overjoyed, and secretly thought in his heart: twenty taels a month, and sixty taels in three months. When the time comes, if the house does not release people, he will teach indiscriminately, or confront this big butler everywhere, he will naturally be driven away, and when the time comes, take sixty taels and leave, isn't it beautiful?

Good errand!

He glanced down at the other treaties, and saw that some of them, although a little harsh, were barely acceptable for the sake of silver.

However, this article "In the house, no matter what, you must obey the arrangements of the chief steward and nobles", this is definitely not good.

In this case, would he not become a servant without freedom?

What's the difference with these maids?

Thinking of this, he immediately read out this article and said, "Great steward, this article is unacceptable." In the next is a scholar, right and wrong, everything, will judge by themselves, do or not, also by their own decision, how can they be swayed by others? ”

Mei Hanliu's face sank, and said: "The premise is that you are in the mansion, since you are in the mansion, you naturally have to obey the arrangements of this housekeeper and the nobles." If there is no such treaty, what if you do whatever you want in the house? ”

Luo Qingfeng arched his hand and said: "The big butler laughed, even if there is no such treaty, how can you dare to do whatever you want in the mansion?" Aren't you afraid of the law, not afraid of guards, not afraid of being driven away? When you come down here, you are here to teach and educate people, and you are here to earn a living, how can you destroy your future and reputation? The big housekeeper's words are simply insulting, and he is very angry! ”

As he spoke, he had an angry expression on his face.

When the maids in the house saw this, they all secretly admired the courage of this young man.

Mei Hanliu saw that he was glaring at him, and he was not to be outdone, his apricot eyes opened and glared at him, but he didn't speak again.

The two of them stared at each other like this.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

The maids in the room all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

They know the temper of the big butler, this young man is so bold, he is simply not afraid of death.

"Humph!"

After a while, Mei Hanliu suddenly snorted coldly, and took the initiative to show weakness, and said with a cold face: "How do you want to change?" ”

Only then did Luo Qingfeng arch his hand and said, "Deleted." ”

When Mei Hanliu heard this, she immediately slapped the table and said with a cold face: "Luo Qingfeng! Don't go too far! This butler endures you because of your talent! If you dare to be unscrupulous again, this steward will not spare you! ”

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "How about changing it to [Being in the mansion, regarding the matter of duties, you need to obey the arrangement of the mansion, and other things will be discussed and decided by both parties]?" ”

Mei Hanliu pondered for a long time, looked at him coldly, and said, "What if this housekeeper doesn't change?" ”

Luo Qingfeng arched his hand and said: "Then you can only ...... below"

"Humph! It's up to you! ”

Mei Hanliu snorted coldly and ordered coldly to the side: "Go and change it." ”

The maid next to her agreed, immediately went to take the contract, and quickly walked into the back room.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly bowed his head and arched his hand: "Thank you, big butler." ”

In fact, what he just wanted to say in his heart was that he could only ...... Reluctantly agreed, but added money.

There's definitely no way he's going to get out of here now.

The conditions are harsh, anyway, as soon as the case is over, after Sister Nightingale is safe, he will leave, and it will not be difficult for him.

Mei Hanliu looked at him coldly, and after a while, said, "I heard that you have already picked a small courtyard, how about you live?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's okay, I'm very satisfied." ”

Mei Hanliu said again: "How is that girl Xiao Tao serving?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Xiao Tao is very good, and he is also very satisfied. ”

Mei Hanliu snorted and said, "That little girl is the best-looking maid I have here, but I didn't expect it to be the most presumptuous, and she is really the best match for you." You are big and small, and you don't take this housekeeper in your eyes, but you are still really bold. ”

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly said, "The big butler has misunderstood. I not only put the big butler in my eyes, but also in my heart, and I can't deny my respect and admiration for the big housekeeper because it's just a few small conflicts in words, right? ”

Mei Hanliu sneered: "Less rhetoric, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, will you respect and admire me as a little housekeeper?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said solemnly: "The big housekeeper is not small, in my opinion, the big housekeeper is so young, he is in charge of the chief steward of the entire Ningguo Mansion, and the entire mansion is managed in an orderly manner, and the subordinates are obedient and conscientious. ”

"Sycophants!"

Mei Hanliu glanced at him, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

When the maids in the house saw this, they all secretly admired: This beautiful boy is so powerful!

At this time, the newly proposed contract was taken out.

Luo Qingfeng took it, and after reading it carefully, Fang signed his name and pressed his handprint.

Mei Hanliu took it, signed his name, and stamped it with the seal of the big housekeeper.

In duplicate.

Luo Qingfeng put away one and said goodbye.

Mei Hanliu said lightly: "Go to bed early tonight, don't toss with that little girl for too long, and keep your energy up early to go to school tomorrow." ”

The other girls next to her all covered their mouths and snickered, blushing, but they couldn't help but peek at the handsome young man standing tall and graceful in this hall, and they all envied Xiao Tao's girl.

Luo Qingfeng agreed, and then withdrew.

After his back disappeared into the gate outside, Mei Han Liu Fang picked up the contract again, stared at it, and muttered, "Three years...... Since Second Miss attaches so much importance to you, then don't go......"

When Luo Qingfeng returned to Qingzhu Garden, the twin sisters had just come out of the door with a smile.

When the two sisters saw him, they were a little shy, and hurriedly ran away with their heads down.

After all, it was night, and the two of them had been in his room for so long, and they had told Xiao Tao so many things between men and women, so they naturally felt a little weak and ashamed.

Luo Qingfeng closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.

Xiao Tao was sitting alone in front of the dresser, humming a song in her mouth, and looking at herself in the mirror with a blushing face.

She held a wooden comb in her hand, gently combing her hair that fell down her chest.

The little girl is petite, but her chest is not small at all, and the strands of hair that hang down are supported in a very curved way.

Luo Qingfeng stood at the door, and saw her sitting in front of the dresser humming a song and combing her hair, looking at herself in the mirror, looking youthful and innocent, and her heart suddenly tingled.

"Ahh Childe, you're back! ”

The little girl suddenly saw him in the mirror, quickly put down the comb, stood up, the blush on her face had not yet receded, and under the reflection of the light, she became more and more charming and cute.

Luo Qingfeng nodded, walked into the room, and deliberately asked, "Why is there no quilt on the small bed outside?" ”

The little girl's face suddenly turned red like an apple, lowered her head, and said, "Slave maid...... Slave ......"

"Give me a warm quilt?"

Luo Qingfeng said.

The little girl nodded hurriedly and said shyly: "Well, slave maid...... The slave maid wants to warm the quilt for the son, and it is cold ......"

Luo Qingfeng's gaze looked around the room again, and said, "Okay, let's sleep, I'll go and make it convenient." ”

After speaking, he left the room and came to the small courtyard.

The night breeze of late autumn blows on the body, and it is indeed a bit cold and biting.

He glanced back and saw that the windows were closed, and then walked to the courtyard wall, walking slowly, as if walking.

Wisps of white powder spilled from between his fingers and landed on the soil beneath the courtyard walls.

In the dark, nothing can be seen.

Even if there is moonlight, it is like a thin layer of autumn frost.

The courtyard wall was sprinkled.

Luo Qingfeng went to other places in the courtyard and sprinkled some, and then walked up to the corridor and sprinkled it on the steps, at the door, and under the window.

At the same time, a few dead leaves were sprinkled in various places, as well as very thin branches.

Then I went to wash my hands and went into the house.

In the room, the little maid had already untied the hairpin on her head, and her long black and silky hair was scattered, and the long hair was extraordinarily thick, draped behind her, and looked from behind, as if it had wrapped her entire upper body, revealing only two snow-white and delicate shoulders.

Her coat has also faded off, and she wears a small pink belly pocket inside, and her chest is particularly straight.

"Childe ......"

When she saw Luo Qingfeng enter the room, she immediately blushed, but she boldly looked at him with a pair of big black eyes, and said in a low voice: "Slave maid...... Slaves and maidservants serve your garments. ”

Luo Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, glanced at her again, and walked to the bedside.

The little maid lowered her head, helped him untie his clothes, took off his coat, knelt on the ground again, and helped him take off his shoes and socks, looking well-behaved and cute.

Luo Qingfeng took out the storage bag from her underwear and secretly placed it under the pillow while she was kneeling on the ground to help her take off her shoes and socks.

In this way, even if he was lying on the bed, as long as his mind moved, the Demon Slayer Blade would immediately appear in his hand.

"Childe, the lamp ...... Is it going to burn, or is it going to ...... Extinguished? ”

The little maid got up, lowered her head and asked with a blushing face, her big eyes watery, full of shyness and meekness like a kitten.

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's out." ”

"Oh."

The little maid agreed, and immediately walked over shyly and blew out the oil lamp.

The room went dark.

The windows were closed, and the moonlight outside could only dimly shine in.

For a moment, the little maid seemed to be out of sight.

She groped her way to the bed, but suddenly tripped over, and with an "oops" sound, she was about to fall, but she happened to be held in Luo Qingfeng's arms.

The little maid suddenly felt ashamed and sweet, and said in a low voice: "Thank you...... Thank you, childe......"

Luo Qingfeng hugged her petite body to the bed, helped her take off her shoes and socks, and gently held and stroked it, the little girl's feet were like her people, petite and exquisite, fair and delicate, and extremely cute.

"Childe ......"

The little maid curled up in his arms shyly and sweetly, her body trembling slightly because of nervousness.

Luo Qingfeng watched in the dark for a while, then Fang picked her up, put her at her feet, and said, "Help me warm my feet." ”

"Oh......"

The little girl immediately shrank into the quilt and obediently hugged his feet.

Luo Qingfeng's hand quietly reached under the pillow, and then lay down.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker, and everything is silent.

But suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of leaves being trampled in the courtyard.
