In front of the antique tan dressing table, Du Suxi raised her eyes slightly and looked at Qingzhuang who hesitated to speak in the mirror. As if he knew what she was thinking, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Qingzhuang? Do you want to ask me how I found out Jing Ke's identity?"
Qingzhuang's eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at Du Suxi in surprise, and asked stammeringly.
"Little Miss, are you the roundworm in my stomach? Why can't you tell if I don't tell you?"
This girl Qingzhuang is good at everything, but she is too obedient to the rules, but it is not her fault. This ancient rule cannot be changed by herself. It can only be changed bit by bit.
Du Suxi thought to herself, sighed softly, and patiently gave some advice.
"Qingzhuang, all your emotions are written on your face. If I still can't see it, it only proves that I'm blind."
"Miss, forgive me, miss, forgive me, I don't dare, I don't dare!" Qingzhuang immediately knelt down with a plop, lowered her head, her thin body was trembling slightly, her voice was full of fear and panic.
"Qingzhuang, I'm not blaming you. You are my personal maid. I want you to understand that everything you do must be done with me as the starting point. Others, even if they are powerful, even if they are cruel and intimidating, they He’s not your master either, do you understand?”
Du Suxi spoke softly, but Qingzhuang felt a strange feeling inexplicably. She couldn't refuse, and she didn't dare to refuse! It’s like an imperial edict! She raised her head cautiously and looked at Du Suxi. In addition to fear, there was also a bright determination in her eyes.
"Yes, miss." She bit her lower lip and nodded lowly. The confusion in his eyes has completely dissipated. She didn't know what the young lady was talking about, but Du Suxi was her master, and since her master ordered her, she would do it. At this time, she had no idea how glorious the future would be.
Seeing Qingzhuang's loyalty to herself. Du Suxi's eyes flashed softly. The voice also lowered slightly.
"Qingzhuang, you want to know why I can see through Jing Ke's identity at a glance? It's simple. Although he is wearing ordinary coarse clothes, his hands are smooth and tender without any calluses. These are not the hands that an apprentice should have, so it is obvious , Master Zhao lied."
Like thunder in spring, Qingzhuang looked at Du Suxi in disbelief.
"If you can observe carefully, you will also notice that Master Zhao's eyes are full of awe and caution when he looks at him. Also, have you noticed, who brought my clothes? It's Master Zhao! Instead of Jing Ke. This shows that Jing Ke must be much more noble than Master Zhao. At least he is someone that Master Zhao cannot offend! From this point of view, it may not be obvious, but Master Zhao and I have a deal. , a very important transaction. This transaction is very important to Jinxiufang. Therefore, as long as Master Zhao is not hopelessly stupid, he will never bring an outsider here. Therefore, I concluded that Jing Ke He is the master behind Jinxiufang.”
Du Suxi spoke slowly, Suyu's face was calm and steady. It is unbelievable that the logical reasoning just now came from such a little girl.
Qingzhuang was shocked again. He stared at Du Suxi blankly, his mouth wide open, as if he had never known the master in front of him who he had served since childhood. Is this still the weak master who only knew how to cry? Why are you so careful and steady? If that face wasn't so familiar, Qingzhuang would even
I doubt who the woman in front of me is.
"Qingzhuang, I don't have the patience to explain to everyone, do you understand? I want you to remember that there must be clues to everything, and you have to learn to analyze things by yourself."
"Yes." Qingzhuang nodded as if she understood, although she didn't understand why her master said such things to her. But he didn't dare to disobey Du Suxi.
Seeing Qingzhuang's confused look, Du Suxi curled her lips, but didn't care. She understood that this kind of thing could not be cultivated overnight, and could only be influenced slowly and subtly.
"Take some silver and go buy some men's clothes for me. Don't let anyone in the house see it. Do you understand?"
"No." Qingzhuang took a few taels of broken silver from the silver box and left obediently.
Du Suxi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the shimmering light in her eyes, making her expression unclear.
Five thousand taels is not a small sum, but it is enough as the first pot of gold earned by oneself in another world!
Early the next morning, Du Suxi got up early, put on the men's clothing that Qingzhuang had brought yesterday, and looked again and again at the yellow wooden bronze mirror. She saw the beauty in the mirror wearing a somewhat loose robe. Wearing a copper jade crown on his head, his eyebrows are lightly swept, his fair skin seems to be unable to withstand the slightest bit of abuse, his big bright eyes exude a wise and calm light, his mountain roots are tall and his red lips are slightly twitching, he looks quite like a frail and thin young man. appearance.
Randomly finding an old folding fan, Du Suxi shook her right hand, and the fan opened in response. Every move she made seemed like a scholar.
When Qingzhuang came in with the face wash, she was stunned. If she hadn't been so familiar with that charming face, she would have been so frightened that she knocked her face to the ground and ran away.
"Miss, you, what are you doing? If someone knows, you will gossip." Qingzhuang hurried to the door and window, her eyes looking around uneasily, for fear that someone would see her young lady like this.
"So what if someone finds out? Qingzhuang, you put it on too." Du Suxi casually threw a set of dark blue robes on the table, gesturing for Qingzhuang to change into. In fact,
It would be strange if someone would come to this run-down little courtyard.
Under Du Suxi's coercion, Qingzhuang put on her clothes obediently even though she was reluctant. Looking at the robe that was obviously too big, Qingzhuang grimaced and spread her face. He opened his hands and looked at Du Suxi helplessly.
"Miss, this, how inappropriate is this..."
"Qingzhuang, you have to remember that I am the young master now! Not your young lady!" Du Suxi frowned slightly and said solemnly.
"But..." Qingzhuang frowned and wanted to say something, but was swallowed back by Du Suxi's eagle-like gaze. She stirred the handkerchief uneasily, bit her jaw subconsciously, and looked at the calm Du Suxi with uneasiness.
"Nothing but, Qingzhuang, you should understand my identity. I am a concubine with no status in the Du family, so I must plan for myself so that I can have a good ending. Do you understand?"
Du Suxi tried to talk to Qingzhuang in the most understandable way possible, so that Qingzhuang understood what she wanted to do.
"But Miss, if the master knew that Miss was like this, he would definitely be furious. Then..."
Qingzhuang blinked her eyes, aggrieved, with hesitation and fear in her eyes as she looked at Du
Suxi.
The lady has changed, she has really changed.
Du Suxi sneered, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes filled with sarcasm.
"When the time comes, will you marry me to an old man who is about to die? Or will you give me as a gift to someone else? Anyway, this is my ending. If you do it, you may not succeed, but if you don't do it, there will be no chance of success. "
"..." Qingzhuang was stunned. He looked at Du Suxi blankly, speechless for a long time. I didn't expect that my young lady would have such a far-sighted vision and see things so thoroughly.
Yes, what does it matter if you are the daughter of the Prime Minister? My young lady is just a concubine that no one cares about. When the time comes, her marriage will really depend on God’s blessing...
"If there is any problem at all, you can blame everything on me and I will bear all the responsibility!"
Du Suxi said categorically, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. What a joke. Her so-called father probably didn't have such a cheap daughter in his heart. Look at this decaying little courtyard. It really doesn't matter what he wants. If that father cared a little bit If it were given to Du Suxi, Du Suxi would not end up like that.
However, since she borrowed a corpse to resurrect her soul and was reborn, she would help Du Suxi live a wonderful life.
"My slave will never do that!" Qingzhuang shook her head repeatedly and raised her face. Her small face was already pale, and she was obviously too frightened.
Du Suxi looked at Qingzhuang calmly, with no expression on her face.
"I'll count to three, and you tell me your decision, whether to leave here or stay."
"This slave must stay! Madam asked me to take good care of the young lady before she died. Even if I risk my life, I must take good care of the young lady!"
With almost no hesitation, Qingzhuang knelt down in front of Du Suxi with a plop. Her voice was clear and gentle, but with the determination of a strong man cutting his wrists.
"Okay, Qingzhuang, I, Du Suxi, also promise today that if you remain loyal to me throughout your life, I will definitely give you a bright future!"
"I don't dare." Qingzhuang lowered her head, but her eyes were full of hope.
Du Yuan originally ordered someone to pack up a southwest guest room for Du Suxi to live in. Du Suxi refused on the pretext that she had lived there for many years and was used to the quiet life in the small courtyard. Du Yuanzheng did not insist on this. The reason why she made this request was just that she didn't want outsiders to think that she was a mean concubine of the Du family.
The reason for Du Suxi's insistence was that behind this small courtyard, beyond a wall, was a secluded alley.
The two climbed out over the wall. Qingzhuang looked very excited, looking left and right. Two blushes appeared on his face unconsciously.
Although she is a maid, due to the strict rules of the Du family, she is absolutely not allowed to leave the house without permission unless there are special circumstances. Therefore, Qingzhuang rarely gets to see this bustling street scene.
Seeing that the streets were filled with a dazzling array of products, and the shouts and shouts of sellers kept ringing in their ears, even Du Suxi, a time traveler who was used to the hustle and bustle of modern times, couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.
After finally finding the bank, Du Suxi exchanged a hundred pieces of silver and gave Qingzhuang ten taels of silver, asking Qingzhuang to go shopping alone and buy some things for her daughter's house. However, Qingzhuang refused, so Du Suxi had no choice but to look down and drive Qingzhuang away. They agreed to meet at the largest inn in the capital, and then Qingzhuang plunged into the crowded market like a wild horse. middle.
