When the captured servant saw her, his eyes suddenly became strange, he retracted his sleeves forcefully, and said with a half-smile: "Lingxiu is working in the south courtyard."
South courtyard? work? Huaiyu frowned, thought about it and felt normal, asked the direction of the slave, and walked away.
The inner courtyard of the South Court.
The lanterns that were lit everywhere were a bit stingy here, Lingxiu opened her eyes wide to see the pattern clearly, and then carefully embroidered on the dress according to the pattern.
Not far from her stood two old mothers cracking melon seeds, whispering.
"Our wife has done her best to the Fourth Miss. They are not her own. Given such a set of good materials, she is not afraid to go to the Jiang Mansion to overwhelm the Second Miss's limelight."
"How can I be the mistress? Madam is kind-hearted. But in my opinion, even if the fourth lady wears such a set of clothes, she may not be as dazzling as the second lady. One is the first wife, a well-educated and reasonable daughter. He is a fool who has been crazy for three years, and now he has broken the rules for several years when he wakes up, so it's not bad if he doesn't embarrass himself."
"That's reasonable! You haven't seen the fourth young lady's appearance today. In front of the king, she has no education at all. She doesn't look like a noble lady."
"That's right, the Jiang family is a family of etiquette. Miss Si is like that, is she worthy?"
"It's not good enough!" Someone from behind answered her with a smile.
The broken-mouthed Nanny Li turned her head and smiled, trying to praise the man's eyesight, but when she looked up at the man's face, she was so frightened that the melon seeds in her hand dropped.
"Four... Miss Four?"
Li Huaiyu caught a few fallen melon seeds with a smile, put them in his mouth and knocked them crisply, blinked and said, "Why are you panicking? You are telling the truth."
The two nuns were stunned, Qi Qi stared at her blankly, and saw her walking towards Lingxiu with sunflower seeds, lowered her head and asked her, "What are you doing?"
As soon as she heard her master's voice, Lingxiu finally raised her head and let out a smile that was uglier than crying: "This servant is helping you make clothes."
Taking a glance at what she was holding in her hand, it was a silk robe with no dark spots on its face. This kind of robe needs to be embroidered with a lot of patterns to look good, otherwise it will not be worn out. As for the one in Lingxiu's hand, the pattern is only as big as a palm, and if she really wants to embroider it all, even if she doesn't eat or drink, it will take half a month.
Squinting her eyes, Huaiyu asked, "Are you stupid? Do you really think you can finish embroidery?"
Stretching her stiff neck, Lingxiu showed her the clothes: "Look, the material is very good!"
"Well, you can't finish embroidering, and I can't put it on. If you have the time, why don't you have a meal and sleep?"
Lingxiu was taken aback, a little at a loss: "But...but you don't have any other clothes to wear. Jiangfu's birthday party is very important, very important to you. If you can't correct the previous impression of you, then the marriage will... "
She's really a worrying maid, she's cute if she's stupid.
Huaiyu smiled, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and rubbed the back of her neck for her: "If you have to embroider, I won't stop you, just go back to our room to embroider. It's just this time, your lady is hungry You have to stick your chest to your back, don't you care?"
When Lingxiu heard this, she remembered about eating, and her little face turned pale.
"Slaves... Slaves forgot!"
"It's not too late to think about it now, let's go." Huaiyu picked up the sewing basket next to him.
"Miss Si!" The two nuns next to her finally came back to their senses, and hurried up and said, "Madam said, this dress is best embroidered here, if it gets greased and dusted elsewhere, it will be bad."
Huaiyu smiled at them: "The clothes are meant to be worn on me, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
The two nuns were at a loss for words for a while, Huaiyu didn't bother to bother with them, so she pulled Lingxiu away and left.
"Where's the kitchen?" she asked as they walked.
Lingxiu whispered: "There are strict rules in the mansion, the kitchen door is locked after Xushi, we can't get in."
"Don't worry about anything else, just show me the way." Huaiyu said confidently.
So after a stick of incense, Lingxiu held four steamed buns and half a roast chicken in her arms, and stared dumbfounded at the people walking ahead.
"Miss... you are stealing!"
Not only stealing things, but also jumping over walls and windows, if the master finds out about this, he must be beaten to death!
Li Huaiyu bit the steamed bun in his hand, and said inarticulately: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell, who would know?"
"But...but..." Lingxiu opened her mouth wide in shock.
How can the lady do this kind of behavior? Even when she was stupid, she was talking nonsense and throwing things at most. It's normal now, but the behavior is more casual than before.
It's like a different person.
Stopping, Huaiyu reached out to pick up the steamed buns in her arms and stuffed them into her mouth, then said with a smile: "Listen clearly, your lady, I suddenly realized the world, and I feel that life is alive, and there is no need to be bound by false names. Myself. We are hungry now, we have to eat if we have something, don’t talk about anything else, understand?”
Lingxiu blinked her watery eyes, her mouth was stuffed with steamed buns, and she couldn't speak.
Huaiyu patted her head in relief: "It's good that you understand."
No! Lingxiu shook her head, she didn't understand at all! The rules in the White House are strict, who isn't living their lives honestly? Miss, where did these remarks come from
The people in front of her ignored her shaking her head like a rattle drum, and when they returned to the west courtyard, they opened the lotus leaf wrapped with roast chicken, shared it with her and ate it with steamed buns, and lay down on the bed when they were full. sleep.
"Miss." Lingxiu's voice was like a mosquito, "Maidservant, can I ask, where have you been these two days?"
Suddenly there was no one in the wing room that day, but she had been looking for it for a long time. I ran to ask my wife to report to the official, but my wife didn't respond, so she didn't sleep a wink all night.
Huaiyu yawned and said, "I went out of the mansion to take a look around."
Seeing how deftly she looked through the kitchen earlier, Lingxiu felt that there was no need to ask her how she got out, but she couldn't help but say one more thing: "Second Miss has been coveting the marriage contract on you, and she is just waiting for you to make a mistake so that she can replace her." You can act in the future, you can't be so casual anymore."
"Got it." Turning over to face her, Huaiyu half-opened his eyes and laughed, "You girl, you are very talkative."
It's completely different from Qingsi.
Qingsi is a cold beauty who doesn't want to say a word, when she was with her, she was teased by Lu Jingxing that she looked like a moving ice sculpture. No matter how you tease her, there is not even half a smile on her face.
Qingsi's icy face appeared in his mind, Huaiyu's heart twitched, and he let out a long sigh.
When you see her, you must ask carefully, it was clear that she was sent out of the capital at the beginning, why did she come back and fall into Jiang Xuanjin's hands
