After Yushan was called in, she hurriedly brought hot water to Sheng Weiqiao to wash her hands, and then went to get her clothes. Sheng Weiqiao had been in the valley for the past two days. Although she bathed every day, there was only a small wooden basin there. Even though she had not yet It is impossible for a girl with long legs to sit in and wash herself, so after finding out that a big wooden bucket was prepared on the boat, she couldn't wait to return to the island: "No need to change clothes yet! Let someone bring some hot water first." Let me take a shower and then change!"
"Miss, do you want your bun to be tied up again?" Yushan agreed, and after taking the dress to the screen, he saw that Gongsun Yingjiang had already gotten up first and went out to ask someone to bring water, so he walked to the dressing table. He picked up a jade comb and asked.
Sheng Weiqiao shook his head and said, "Let's comb it again later after bathing and coming out! Otherwise, if you fix it now and get wet while bathing, you will have to worry about it again later."
Yushan said hurriedly: "As long as you don't dislike my servant's clumsiness, what's the trouble?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't take it to heart after hearing this, smiled, and decided to come out of the shower and dress up. At this time, she actually noticed that Yu Fan couldn't help but stare at her head, and the look in her eyes was quite subtle.
However, Sheng Weiqiao thought that the maid who grew up on the tortoiseshell island was envious of the pile of hairpins on her head. She thought that although this little maid was still young, it seemed that it was time to look good. She could leave a few pieces when she left. The hairpin ring she was wearing was given to her.
After a while, Gongsun Yingjiang's master and servant prepared some things for her behind the screen. After asking that no one was around, Sheng Weiqiao left the room. Sheng Weiqiao was about to undress and take her into the bath when she suddenly remembered: "The bronze mirror in the cave has not been polished for a long time. It has not been polished at all." I can’t take a clear picture—I haven’t seen clearly what my bun looks like in the past two days!”
So she decided to look in the mirror and admire her handiwork before taking a bath.
Then she was shocked!
"So ugly?!!!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at herself in the crystal mirror with straight eyes: her messy bun was like a bird's nest, but it was covered with pearls and jade, and it matched with the dress she was wearing now. The whole appearance of Sleeping Crane's old clothes is really difficult to describe in words.
The girl's eyes only felt dark, "I, I, I, I just got on the ship like this, stepped on the deck in full view of everyone, and talked to Ying Jiang and Yushan for half a conversation?!"
She used to think that Gongsun Yingjiang was rushing to pull her back to the cabin to talk because of Gongsun Yingdun. Now thinking about it, maybe it was because of Gongsun Yingdun, but she must have felt that it took too much courage to continue standing with her on the deck at that time...
But just now, Jade Fan's eyes have been lingering on her bun. It is obvious that the little maid is not envious of her hairpin, but feels that she really can't stand it anymore!
This sudden blow made Sheng Weiqiao feel bad!
Especially when she thought about how she was dressed like this yesterday, and walked twice in front of Sheng Sleeping Crane to ask him if he looked good. Later, the topic was brought up because the Magpie Climbs a Plum Branch, an emerald jade coated with gold and inlaid with treasures, suddenly fell. -Now that I think about it, it’s not that Sheng Suihe didn’t know how to coax her because he didn’t know how to coax her, but it was because of her appearance at that time that people couldn’t understand this level of conscience, okay? !
"... I will definitely carry a small target scope with me from now on!!!" Sheng Weiqiao took off the hairpin rings one by one with trembling hands. The joy of returning to being surrounded by pearls and the complexity of knowing many inside stories were all made ugly by him. I was overwhelmed by the fear that I didn’t realize I had for two full days and two nights!
After soaking in hot water sprinkled with rose petals for a long time, Sheng Weiqiao could not recover. Tears welled up in her eyes, "How can I go out after being seen by so many people?! I might as well Go back to Sheng Mansion directly! We can’t stay in this place!!!”
With this idea in mind, Sheng Weiqiao changed into a brocade dress after getting out of the bath. He didn't even call Gongsun Yingjiang for his master's servant. He took a handkerchief and twisted his long hair. When he saw that it was almost dry, he got into the quilt on the couch - After waiting for a long time, Gongsun Yingjiang was worried when there was no movement. He shouted a few times outside and knocked on the door again to see if there was no answer. He was afraid that something might happen to Sheng Weiqiao, so he managed to open the door and saw that Sheng Weiqiao had "fallen asleep". , not wanting to disturb him, he hurriedly left quietly and closed the door for her.
However, pretending to be asleep wouldn't last long. After all, they were on a ship now, and the valley where Chu Wu lived was only separated from the port by a mountain wall.
Even though the building boat was tall, he did not dare to drive close to the coastline for fear of accidentally running aground and had to go around in a circle. However, the building boat ran very fast, so not long after Gongsun Yingjiang went out, he arrived at the pier - it was time to disembark.
Gongsun Yingjiang didn't know what Sheng Weiqiao was thinking, so he went to Sheng Suihe specifically to ask for instructions: "My aunt just fell asleep after taking a bath and changing clothes. Should I wake her up now or ask someone to carry her to the island, so as not to disturb my aunt's rest?"
Sheng Suihe was remembering his grudge, and he said without hesitation after hearing this: "Go and wake her up, and carry her down properly for what? Those who asked her to serve her saw it, and they thought she had something wrong with her, and she was causing trouble for nothing!"
So after a while, Sheng Weiqiao, who had a gloomy face, was reluctantly carried to the deck - she now wore a single bun, which was of course done by Yu Fan.
Since he didn't want to see the pile of hairpin rings again in a short period of time, at this moment, there was only a long hairpin of mutton-fat jade lotus inserted sideways in Crow Crow's hair. Girls usually dress up in bright and flamboyant ways. Even after Aunt Bai passed away the year before last, and during the mourning period, she never wore less than three silver buns on her bun. Suddenly, the decoration was so simple, highlighting her innocent and pure temperament. , looking at it, there is an elegant and flawless feeling like hibiscus emerging from clear water.
So much so that after Sheng Suihe looked over, he subconsciously stared at her for a while.
After realizing it, his heart sank and he was a little angry. He quickly concealed his smile and said, "My dear girl, we are finally back. Your maid Lu Jin Luqi is waiting for you down there. Why don't you look like you now?" Are you happy? Could it be that you can’t bear to leave Fifth Brother?”
Sheng Weiqiao was very afraid of Chuwu, so he was deliberately teasing her by saying this.
When I said this, I was already prepared for the girl to jump back and retort.
Unexpectedly, when Sheng Weiqiao heard this, instead of having a seizure, she turned her head in other directions, pretending not to hear it. When Sheng Suihe saw this, he immediately thought that she was thinking of the scene last night, and felt embarrassed, so he did not dare Face yourself.
He suddenly felt happy, smiled playfully, and didn't say anything specific.
Gongsun Yingjiang and others saw this scene clearly, but they didn't take it to heart - they thought Sheng Weiqiao was only unhappy because he was woken up while sleeping soundly, while Sheng Suihe was used to teasing this sister.
Not long after the springboard was set up, Gongsun Yingjiang and Yushan took care of Sheng Weiqiao to the pier. As expected, Lu Jin and Lu Qi both came up to greet them. With red eyes, they asked after each other and complained a little: "Miss, no matter where you go from now on, bring it with you." The slaves are the ones! Originally, the slaves are your personal maids, but you leave them behind when you go out. What’s the big deal? Fortunately, this time the young lady is with the young master and is protected by the young master, so the slaves are more or less happy. This is a hope—otherwise, all the slaves will want to jump into the sea!"
Sheng Weiqiao knew that they cared about him. Although he was still in a low mood at this moment, he still managed to cheer up and comforted them with a few words.
Fortunately, Lu Jin and Lu Qi had been serving her for many years and noticed her listlessness by observing her actions. They thought she was toiling in the valley and did not dare to upset her. They stopped talking and called the sedan chair next to them to come up and carried Sheng Weiqiao back to her residence. .
After arriving at his residence, Sheng Weiqiao ate some food casually and said he was tired and wanted to rest.
Although Gongsun Yingjiang, who was following behind him all the way, wanted to jump anxiously for Gongsun Ying, he didn't dare to rush him when he saw the situation, so he could only forcefully press Anxiety and leave the inner room.
Fortunately, although Sheng Weiqiao was severely hit by the bun he wore, he had not completely forgotten Gongsun Yingdun.
After lying on the bed for half an hour, she really couldn't sleep, so she called Lu Jin Lu Qi in and asked about what happened on the island during the two days she was away.
Lu Jin and Lu Qi both frowned when they heard this and said: "After the valley entrance collapsed that day, the slaves only heard some faint movement where they were, but they didn't know what happened. Later, the people on the island came and told the slaves, The young master and the young lady were all trapped in the valley, and the servants were so frightened that they lost their minds!"
"It's just that when the slaves wanted to go to Master Gongsun to negotiate, dig the mouth of the valley or send a boat around to the beach to meet you and the young master, the place was surrounded by people and no one was allowed to go in or out!"
"When the slaves saw this situation, they knew that the island was trying to harm you and the young master, so they went to find the accompanying guards and told them not to worry about slaves and women, and just try to leave the island so that they could report to the master and his wife!"
"However, the island was well guarded. The guards managed to get out of the courtyard in time, but they could not find a suitable boat."
"Then there was another violent storm. Fortunately, Miss Sun came over and told the slaves that the young master is very skilled in martial arts and is the most familiar with the valley on the island. With the help of the fifth master, it will not be a problem to protect the young lady! Let the slaves Don’t be impatient and just wait for the good news of your safe return!”
"During this period, the slaves heard fighting on the island and someone setting fires. In short, it seemed like something big had happened."
"But the slaves still don't know exactly what happened. I asked Miss Sun privately, but Miss Sun just shook her head and told the slaves not to inquire."
"The slaves are worried that if they offend the island, it will be detrimental to you and the young master, so they don't dare to say anything after hearing this!"
"I heard this morning that the island has calmed down. Seamaster Gongsun plans to send a boat to pick you and the young master up. The slaves originally planned to set off with the ship, but Miss Sun said that the two slaves are a little seasick. They have been there for the past two days. I'm worried about you, young lady, so I haven't had much serious rest. So I'm afraid that the slaves will get very seasick after boarding the ship, and I won't be able to serve you at that time, and I'll have to worry about you."
"So I can only ask Miss Sun to go there!"
When Lu Jin said this, he hesitated, looked at the closed doors and windows, and then approached Sheng Weiqiao and whispered, "Miss, I feel that this place is not the land of kings after all. It is really not very peaceful! Even Gongsun Haizhu He treats you like a distinguished guest, but if he can't control the situation, what's the use of respecting our master and you? For the sake of safety, let's go back early, right?"
"I was about to tell you, but I suddenly want to go back!" Sheng Weiqiao sighed, "But I just promised Ying Jiang on the ship, so I still have to do my best before leaving!"
Let them dress themselves up and get ready to go out.
Seeing Lu Qi bringing in a dazzling array of jewelry boxes as usual, she hurriedly stopped her, "There's no need for so many! Just use the green hairpin with five blessings and longevity!"
The two maids were very surprised: "Why?"
"...because something bad has obviously happened on the island in the past two days!" Sheng Weiqiao opened her mouth slightly, thinking, "Am I going to tell you that the scene I just saw in the mirror on the ship with my head full of pearls and emeralds was too excessive?" Is it so scary that I can’t even accept bright jewelry now? !
She wished no one knew about this matter, so she refused to tell the two maids. Fortunately, she was no longer the same person she was the year before last! Now she is very good at making excuses!
Especially after fooling Sheng Sleeping Crane before, it seemed that the key meridians had been opened up. This time he stumbled slightly, and he immediately said, "Although these things have nothing to do with us, we are guests on the island after all - if this happens, I will still When we go out in all our glory, the host doesn’t say anything, but he is probably not very happy in his heart. He might even think that we are gloating about our misfortune! Now on someone else’s territory, why bother leaving such hidden dangers for just a few hairpin rings? "
Lu Jin and Lu Qi were questioning whether the environment they were in at the moment was safe. After hearing this, they did not become suspicious. Instead, they both praised: "After all, the young lady is thoughtful and thoughtful, and the slaves are ashamed of themselves!"
Sheng Weiqiao had no time to be proud at this moment. After forcing a smile, he thought in his mind: "When I meet Sheng Suihe, should I ask him about his life experience first, or should we talk about Ying Dun first?"
