...The thing is like this: The branch that Wei Changying was sitting on was relatively thick, and she was light and agile. In order to pick locust flowers, she sat close to the tip. Then Shen Zangfeng came up and stood on another branch not far away.
So Wei Changying, who was eager to show off his force and show off his ferocity, without thinking, he came to the branch where he was sitting close to the main trunk!
Then she fell.
Then, she was pulled by Shen Zangfeng.
Then, Wei Changying's face turned red and white. He stood under the tree, looking at the locust flowers all over his body and scattered all over the ground. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Shen Zangfeng, who had no intention of taking advantage of his fiancée before marriage, felt a little unjust when he saw her like this. He stood aside awkwardly and thought for a moment before saying: "You wait here, I will go up and pick some more for you?"
"... No need." Wei Changying glanced at him bitterly. The good sophora flower cake and steamed sophora flower were just gone. He even scared himself several times - really... I really wanted to beat him. !
It’s not like you don’t know that this is the backyard. Even if I am really trapped in a tree and can’t get down, am I still afraid that no one will come to me? There are so many servants in David's family, not to mention that he, the eldest lady who is about to leave the cabinet, has been missing for a while. How can no one look for her
To take a step back, you came here on your own, and you have already thought of asking me tactfully if I want to go down, so you can't be more tactful! Use it tactfully so that I can't hear your contemptuous meaning! For example: Invite me to the garden to see flowers or something... Of course I will definitely not agree!
But I will definitely leave if you interrupt me like this!
So everything is this guy's fault!
Wei Changying, who had been accustomed to shirk responsibility on Wei Changfeng since he was a child, was very skillful in clearing himself of his crimes and successfully convinced himself that Shen Zangfeng was the culprit of today's incident and all the responsibilities should be attributed to Shen Zangfeng. Poor And the innocent self is completely a pure victim who can no longer be pure!
The tragedy is that although I convince myself that all disasters started from Shen Zangfeng's unwiseness, but -
In the end, Wei Changying, who repeatedly squeezed his fists, decided to treat the scene as if nothing had happened...
After all, my show of force this time was a complete failure!
She felt she desperately needed some professional guidance. For example, Jiang Zheng, who has been an escort for generations, has extremely rich experience in encountering robbers on the road. According to Jiang Zheng's description, when the escort team meets the robbers, if they are not familiar with some robbers who have already tacitly agreed to share the escort funds, then it will be time for each to show off their force and then decide whether to fight...
I am indeed too naive! There's something to be said for showing off your force!
Inexperience kills a person!
If I had known this day, why would I have stared at Mr. Jiang for advice and practiced some tricks...
So Wei Changying sighed deeply: "The backyard is not a place where you can stay for a long time. Just leave!"
Shen Zangfeng was even more embarrassed when he heard this. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay." He was about to turn around when he heard a clear voice coming from behind the moon cave door not far away: "This is it!"
Wei Changying's face changed when he heard it was Zhu Lan! Seeing that Zhu Lan was about to reach the door of the Moon Cave, Shen Zangfeng was not able to leave yet. In her panic, she rushed to him without thinking too much, grabbed his sleeves, and whispered: "Hurry and hide." stand up!"
Unfortunately, there is only a hundred-year-old locust tree in the courtyard. The ground is paved with green bricks and covered with moss. It is surrounded by high walls. The door on one side is blocked by a vermillion fence, and although the door on the other side is not locked, it is tied. Judging from the sound of Zhu Lan's shouting, Zhu Lan could have already stepped through the moon cave door and entered at the moment he ran over to open the door.
Wei Changying hurriedly pulled Shen Zangfeng to hide. He looked left and right, but he could only helplessly duck behind the locust tree, hoping to use the trunk of the locust tree to get through.
Almost as she was dragging Shen Zangfeng to the locust tree, a burst of footsteps entered the courtyard from the moon cave door. What made Wei Changying secretly complain was that there were still two people coming.
After the two little maids came in, they went straight under the locust tree and called the eldest lady several times, but there was no answer. Because the ancient locust tree was so majestic, they were afraid that they would not be able to see everything while standing still and would be deceived by Wei Changying, so they walked around the tree and looked up. This winding around the tree frightened both Wei Changying and Shen Zangfeng. The two listened intently to the footsteps of the maids. They carefully used the ancient locust tree to cover them, and always kept an invisible distance from the two little maids. They moved step by step - and they were also careful not to let the quilt cover them. The locust flowers blown down by the wind or scattered by the guard Zhang Ying just now were frightened, leaving new traces...
Fortunately, the two little maids didn't know that the person they were looking for was on the opposite side of the tree. After turning around and seeing no one on the tree, Zhu Lan said: "Sister Shuangli, don't you think it's wrong? The eldest lady seems to be away." On the tree?"
As soon as Zhu Lan finished speaking, another little maid, whose voice was Zhu Shi, who had always been close to Zhu Lan, whispered: "Sister Shuangli is the person in front of the old lady. She is always careful. She said she saw The eldest lady came this way, I guess there is nothing wrong. Maybe the eldest lady also noticed Sister Shuangli at that time and was impatient to be disturbed by us, so she changed the place again. Otherwise, look at the many locust flowers on the ground, over there? Isn’t there a lot missing on the branches? Who in our family dares to do this casually? It can be seen that the eldest lady must have been here before.”
"Hey, where did it go?" Zhu Lan was reminded and noticed that there was an area on the tree where the locust flowers were sparse and almost non-existent. However, there were a lot of scattered locust flowers scattered around the feet of the two of them. , and said regretfully, "It's strange that the eldest lady wanted to lie about taking a nap and trick the aunts into leaving and running out. Look at these locust flowers... It can be seen that the eldest lady is in a bad mood today. She picked and threw away so many locust flowers and she didn't feel relieved. . Otherwise, why haven’t you gone back yet?”
Zhu Shi was also very sympathetic: "My uncle is a good person, but it's hard to say anything about the other members of the Shen family. I heard from my aunt that Mrs. Su of the Shen family values the rules and is very strict. Our eldest daughter was beaten by the old lady and Mrs. If you are used to being pampered, you may not be able to bear it.”
"The most pitiful thing is that the imperial capital is so far away. After the eldest lady gets married, I don't know if I will be able to see the old lady or madam again in the future." Zhu Lan sighed, "As for me, I don't know if I will be able to see her. The madam has no plans to ask my father to marry the eldest lady. If the eldest lady doesn't return to Fengzhou in the future, I think if I follow the eldest lady, I won't be able to see her family again, but I will only serve the eldest lady, okay! It's easy to get familiar with the eldest lady. If you don't follow the eldest lady - there is no young lady in the big room who needs the help of the maid, let alone the third room. For the lack of conscience of those two, I I would rather be beaten down and work as a roughneck than serve them! So I can only follow the eldest lady and be separated from my parents and siblings!"
Wei Changying is about to get married, and her dowry people, except for the Huang family, are all born and raised in Fengzhou, or have lived in Fengzhou for more than ten years. After leaving their hometown for the first time, they are always reluctant to leave. The same goes for Zhu Lan and Zhu Shi. No, when they were sent out to look for the guard chief Ying, they didn't see their eldest daughter in the locust tree. The courtyard was empty all around and she was not afraid of people listening to the corner. She actually stood under the tree. Now let’s talk about personal matters.
Behind the tree, Wei Changying's face turned slightly blue, and he gritted his teeth secretly: "You two heartless little things, why don't you leave? If you don't leave, let's see how I can find excuses to deal with you when I go back!"
Zhu Shi and Zhu Lan had no idea that their young lady and uncle were behind the tree, fearfully praying for them to leave quickly. Originally, the He family was in charge of the Shuangting Court, and the rules were not relaxed. It's just that He is merciless when hitting people, but she is only one person after all, and she is not very careful. Since Huang arrived, he has taken over the power and managed the Shuangting Courtyard without leakage. It is impossible for him to gossip in the corner of the Shuangshuang Courtyard in his spare time like before!
The two little maids, who always liked to chirp, were urged by Mrs. Huang and had not had the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk for a long time. Now, with the sadness of separation again, Zhu Shi and Zhu Lan talked and talked and talked and talked. A full half an hour passed before I remembered that it would be bad if I delayed for too long and made Mr. Huang suspicious, so I left with unfinished thoughts - but wait!
The two of them walked out of the moon cave door. Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he heard the footsteps thumping back: "The eldest lady must have picked these flowers and dropped them. Although they are stained with dust, they are still washed." They'll be clean after washing. They're all good locust flowers. It's a shame to leave them rotting here. Let's clean them up and take some back with us!"
"That's good. I heard that Aunt Huang is good at making herbal meals and cakes. These Sophora japonica flowers can be used to make Sophora japonica cakes. It's very sweet. If the eldest lady opens her mouth, maybe we can get a piece or two as well." Zhu Lanchi He said, "I'll help you. Come together and hurry up."
Don’t think that two people can really do things much faster!
After all, they were two little maids of twelve or thirteen years old without the supervision of their aunts, so they didn't take care of them. Zhu Lan and Zhu Shi started to fight again: "The eldest lady doesn't seem to like eating this? Otherwise, such a good Sophora japonica flower How could you be willing to throw away so much?”
"Isn't that what you expected? Maybe I'm in a bad mood today." Zhu Shi said, "You think about the wild water chestnuts we caught in the garden last time, the eldest lady didn't like them very much, and now she often asks us to peel them off. bowl?"
Zhu Lan said: "That's right... Hey, look at the whole strings here. Do they look like the pair of walking and mutton-fat jade-shaped Lingxiao flower string pendants in the eldest lady's dowry? I'll go outside and fold a branch and give it to you." Do you want to get a Bu Yao Dai Dai too?”
"Hehe, why don't you wear it yourself? Here, I'll pick out a few good ones and make a garland for you."
"Don't... I haven't washed my hair for two days and it's oily. Don't eat it if it gets dirty."
"Then don't put it on me. I applied rose oil when I came out. Smell it. The scent of the locust flower here is so strong that you can't smell anything else!"
"Rose oil? The quota is only for osmanthus oil. You bought it with your monthly money? Didn't your parents ask?"
"What are you asking? I told them last year that the eldest lady I serve is very proud in front of the old lady and madam. Is it okay to be the eldest lady's maid with not much money around me? From that time on They all allowed me to keep some money. I have saved a fortune now. Listen to me, I will go on..."
It sounded like they were interested in cleaning up the locust flowers and chatting for an hour or two.
... Wei Changying, who almost walked out from behind the tree, turned blue.
I don’t know how long it took, but the two little maids finally picked up all the intact locust flowers under the tree and left happily...
He listened carefully to their footsteps as they receded, and after listening for a moment to confirm that they had no intention of coming back again, Wei Changying breathed a long sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe away the cold sweat... Unexpectedly, my right hand subconsciously moved and failed to lift it up!
She was startled and looked down, only to see that her hand had connected with Shen Zangfeng's left hand at some point, and they were holding each other so tightly that after a long time, they were inseparable.
Wei Changying's face instantly turned red. She hurriedly raised her left sleeve to cover her face and shouted, "What are you doing! Let go now!"
The two of them were busy for a while before they separated their hands. They both looked at each other in embarrassment. After a pause, Shen Zangfeng coughed lightly and said: "Just now you were afraid that I would bump into the two maids, so you pulled me... and then... "
Then, he unknowingly held Wei Changying's hand.
In addition, due to Zhu Lan and Zhu Shi's stay and the length of their chat, the two people with ulterior motives were a little nervous. When they were nervous, they couldn't help but hold each other's hands harder - especially this. That time when the two little maids suddenly came back to clean up the locust flowers!
Over time... Well, that's it.
"...You should leave now." Wei Changying stared at him for a moment, then said helplessly.
Shen Zangfeng also looked a little messy in the wind. I don't know if it was because of Zhu Shi, Zhu Lan or the whole experience and encounter today. He agreed casually and hurried away. Looking at his back, he actually revealed that he was running away in despair. the meaning of. (To be continued)
