Thinking of this, Huai Qing couldn't help taking a step back.
Jiang Rao could see his hesitation and hesitation from his stepping back.
Her smile disappeared from her face, she frowned slightly and looked at Huaiqing, "Do you think I can't do well in washing?"
Huai Qing quickly shook his head, "It's just the beginning of spring, and the weather is very cold in late spring."
"Especially the well in this inn, the water drawn up is so cold that it hurts the bones. If the girl gets sick, the servant can't afford such a crime." He broke out in cold sweat and continued nonsense, I just want to dispel Jiang Rao's desire to help Rong Ting wash this shirt.
Although His Royal Highness Ninth Prince doesn't have many clothes, but he had to disguise his identity along the way, so there were at least a dozen of them. Why did Jiang Rao fall in love with this one
"Girl, after you wait..."
Jiang Rao heard his explanation clearly, but smiled, "You are careful."
If she hadn't seen that Huaiqing was clean-hearted, diligent in doing things, and quick-witted, she would not have left him with Rongting.
Huai Qing thought that Jiang Rao was willing to let him go, hugged the clothes, turned around in a hurry, and immediately walked to the backyard.
Jiang Rao hurriedly walked around in front of him, "Hey, don't leave yet."
She saw that Huaiqing didn't want her to touch the clothes, just now Huaiqing said that the cold water seemed to be just an excuse, maybe he just thought in his heart that she couldn't wash clothes, Jiang Rao was not annoyed, her hands did come from She has never been involved in washing work, Huai Qing looks at her like this, it is very normal, but because she is anxious, she can't help but frown, "I am worried that the water will be cold, I will ask the servant girl to boil some hot water, it won't freeze of."
Seeing Jiang Rao frowning, Huai Qing misunderstood that Jiang Rao was angry, and panicked, "Girl...you..."
It's a crime not to do well what His Royal Highness arranged, and it's a crime to make Jiang Rao unhappy. He couldn't help but loosen his tightly clenched fingers, and Ming Shao took the opportunity to take the clothes from Huai Qing. , smiled and said to him: "Elder-in-law is too cautious. Even if a girl can't do washing, we girls will always be able to. Don't worry."
Huai Qing sighed, not intending to take it back.
The change in his expression fell into Jiang Rao's eyes.
Even though Ming Shao brought the clothes over, she was still looking at Huai Qing's expression, seeing that he was willing, she smiled and brought the clothes over, "Thank you, Eunuch."
Huai Qing frowned, looked at the back of Jiang Rao and Ming Shao walking away together, put her hands in her sleeves uneasily.
At this point, he couldn't think of any excuses for a while, he just hoped that Jiang Rao would be more innocent, and don't associate Rong Ting with the fact that the two people on Changqian Street had their hands scrapped just because of this dress. together.
But just thinking about it like this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and suddenly he thought of the petite figure who was able to run out of the study soberly after drinking the medicine on the snowy night last year, and vaguely felt that Jiang Rao was not so easy to deceive.
He regretted that he came out at an untimely time, so he turned to Wu Que to discuss a solution.
…
Jiang Rao took Rong Ting's coat, but didn't go to the well to wash it immediately.
She hugged the shirt in her arms, went back to the inn room first, and asked Ming Shao to get Juchi, trying to measure the waist, shoulders and sleeves of the shirt.
She knew so little about him.
Want to know but become more and more.
Jiang Rao's steps towards the inn room became more and more brisk.
Ming Shao went to look for Juchi, Jiang Rao was alone in the inn room, she closed the wooden door by herself, threw off her clothes, spread them out on the table, and first measured the width of her shoulders with her hands, but she didn't know what it was. Her hands are small, but his shoulders are really broad, and she didn't finish the measurement a few times. She put her hands on her shoulders and measured, and suddenly understood why she didn't feel oppressed when she looked at him from a distance. It's that deep.
Jiang Rao rested her chin and sighed.
She lay her pillow on this outer shirt, smelled the smell of his body stained on the fabric, and suddenly thought, otherwise, she should keep this outer shirt for a few more days.
You can sleep well if you hug him to sleep at night, maybe you can also hug the clothes.
Jiang Rao suddenly raised her hand to rub the tip of her nose, frowning and slowly straightened up.
There was something wrong with the smell on his clothes.
Not as good as it used to be.
Jiang Rao frowned, Ming Shao came back with a ruler at this time, she measured the clothes, Jiang Rao watched from the side, her eyes gradually swept to the hem of the clothes.
There are dots there, and the color is much darker than other places.
Even the black clothes can be seen to be darker.
Jiang Rao squatted down and got a little closer, and could see that the embroidery thread on the skirt was covered by that dark color.
She sat back, dangling her feet, wanting to take a look at the soles of her embroidered shoes.
Ming Shao turned her head to look at her, then laughed lightly, "What are you thinking, Miss?"
"The hem of this shirt is so dirty, I'm afraid it's me..." Jiang Rao shook her foot, then suddenly put her foot back down again, her face flushed red, Ming Shao probably didn't know about being carried back by Rong Ting last night, She didn't have the guts to tell her personal maid about this, coughed twice, "It's nothing, it's just that my feet are numb."
She was worried that the soles of her shoes were too dirty, and when she was carried by Rong Ting last night, she kicked mud onto them.
However, if the dust from the soles of the shoes gets on the clothes, it will not completely stain the embroidery threads on the clothes.
After Ming Shao took the measurements, she put away the ruler, and Jiang Rao wrote down the measurements one by one on the paper, and went to the well to fetch water and wash clothes.
The water drawn from the well is not as cold as Huaiqing said, but it may be warm to the touch because the weather in early spring is not warm enough.
Jiang Rao pretended to be soaking her clothes in the water, and Ming Shao was startled by her action, "Girl, you don't really want to do it yourself, do you?"
Jiang Rao raised her head and looked at Ming Shao, her eyes were blank, "When I was talking to Huai Qing, you were beside me."
Ming Shao became anxious, "I thought you just wanted His Highness Jiu to know that you helped him with laundry, but this kind of work should be left to the servant girl, even if you are not in Jinling right now, there is no girl who washes clothes, But isn’t the servant still here? You just let the servant do it.”
Jiang Rao's hands were already dipped in water, and she shook her head lightly, "Let me do it."
She doesn't know how to embroider, and she doesn't go into the kitchen. There may be only a few things she can do by herself.
Seeing that Jiang Rao couldn't be persuaded, Ming Shao watched from the sidelines, thinking that when Jiang Rao shouted that she was tired, she would take over.
She leaned next to Jiang Rao, "Girl, why do you suddenly want to do this for His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
"Just want to do something that ordinary girls would do."
Jiang Rao answered seriously, but made Ming Shao laugh, "From the girl's tone, why does it sound like she has done something unusual before?"
Jiang Rao didn't respond.
I was thinking, more than unusual.
And not serious.
She had never seen another girl who was so irresistible as she was.
She bit her lower lip, soaked the outer shirt in her arms into the tub, and was about to put soap locusts in it, when she saw the color blurred in the water, her movements stopped there.

Ming Shao exclaimed, "Is it blood?"
Jiang Rao stared blankly at the blood stains in the basin, "No wonder I smelled blood on it when I was measuring the size just now."
She keenly recalled Huai Qing's sigh and the few times he hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice: "He seems to be hiding something from me."
Ming Shao asked in confusion, "Who?"
"Huaiqing."
"Girl." Said Cao Cao as if Cao Cao had arrived, Huai Qing stepped through the moon gate in the backyard and rushed to Jiang Rao's side, Wu Que followed behind him.
Jiang Rao caught a glimpse of him coming, and slowly stood up, with her hands behind her back, her expression was displeased, "It's just in time for you to come, I have something to ask you."
Huaiqing's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something was wrong.
Jiang Rao asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, fell off the cliff that time and hurt your leg, is it not well at all?"
Huai Qing was taken aback for a moment.
Jiang Rao, yesterday's clothes were black, today's clothes are also black, even if it is stained with blood, people can't see clearly, maybe they want to cover up something
Jiang Rao pointed to the wooden basin beside her, her voice was a little trembling, "Look, how much blood dripped from this shirt? He was so injured that I even told him to carry it on his back and entangled him all night , didn’t let him sleep well, how could it be like this?”
She blamed herself and felt wronged. In a hurry, she said everything she had in her heart. There was a moment of silence, and everyone looked at her.
Seeing Huai Qing standing there silently, Jiang Rao became more impatient, "Tell me quickly, is his injury still not healed?"
Huai Qing came back to his senses, and looked aside, Jiang Rao looked at his dodging eyes, and vaguely felt that things might be true as she guessed, so without saying a word, he walked out of the courtyard, going to the county government to find Rong Ting.
Huai Qing hurriedly chased after her, "Girl, girl, it's not the same thing."
Jiang Rao stopped.
Wu Que stepped forward and said on Huaiqing's behalf, "Miss, we are here to tell you that Huaiqing made a mistake."
He pointed to the wooden basin, "The one in your hand is not the one His Highness Jiu wore yesterday. His Highness Jiu dressed up in disguise all the way, and there are a few of the same ones. This one is from the time he was injured in Huaizhou." His Highness told Huai Qing to throw it away, it was Huai Qing who made a mistake."
Huaiqing repented: "This is the negligence of the slave. If the girl wants to punish, the slave will suffer."
Jiang Rao's eyes were red with anxiety. Hearing what they said, she asked slowly, "Really?"
The two nodded.
Jiang Rao looked back at the water in the wooden basin, her fingers were still curled up in fear, with so much blood, how badly Rong Ting would have been injured at that time...
Wu Que coughed and glanced at Huai Qing, "The servants will never say what the fourth girl just said."
Huaiqing received Wu Que's hint, and said, "Don't worry, girl, there will never be any gossip outside, talking about girl."
I won't talk nonsense outside, what is there to talk about? Still gossip
Jiang Rao turned her head and met Ming Shao's surprised and fragmented eyes. She opened her eyes in confusion, and Ming Shao asked tremblingly, "Girl, did you really..."
last night
Jiang Rao gradually recalled in her mind what she had said just now in a moment of impatience.
haunted him all night,
Did not let him sleep well.
The sky gradually cleared up, illuminating her dazed expression very brightly.
She wanted to explain, but the way they looked at her made her feel like she was trying to cover up even if she explained.
She covered her head and slowly squatted down on the ground.
It's over.
her face.
