After taking a comfortable bath, my sore hands and feet finally regained their strength, not as weak as before.
Putting on a slightly frugal home uniform, Jiang Pengji knelt down in front of the bronze mirror, letting Xunmei and Ta Xue play with her hair.
Noticing Tu Xue's hesitant movement on the left, she couldn't help but open her eyes, glanced over, and said softly, "What's the matter, Xunmei?"
At this moment, Xunmei's eyes were falling on her loose and half-opened dress, and she could vaguely see the corsets wrapped in layers inside.
Being caught, Xunmei's cheeks were dyed a little crimson, she hesitated and bit her lower lip, sounding like a mosquito.
"Erlang-kun, that Xu Ke is still kneeling in the courtyard outside the porch... I don't know..."
As soon as Xunmei said it, she received a fierce stare from Ta Xue, making her have to shut her mouth, with a bit of worry and timidity on her face.
"It's not half an hour too early, why is he still kneeling?"
Jiang Pengji frowned. She asked Xu Ke to kneel and reflect for half an hour, which was only an hour.
But according to what Xunmei just said, doesn't it mean that Xu Ke has been kneeling outside for more than two hours, at least four hours
Ta Xue snorted lightly, and dexterously tied her long hair into a simple male bun with both hands, which was slightly looser and more casual and lazy.
"It's just that Xunmei is still soft-hearted, and it's not too much to kneel for a day and a night because of Xu Ke's previous behavior to cause trouble for Langjun. What's more, Langjun only asked him to kneel and reflect for half an hour, and he himself didn't want to get up. Can you still hold him by the shoulders and keep him from getting up?"
Like a lit gun battle, Ta Xue's words were filled with deep dissatisfaction and anger.
Jiang Pengji got up, folded the placket, tightened the outer robe, and his tone was a little soothing.
"I see, it's better to change the name for Ta Xue. How can this fiery temperament be as cold as ice and snow? That heart is obviously very hot. I know you are holding injustice for me, but Xu Ke is different and can't Treat it like an ordinary servant."
Ta Xue was teased so by Jiang Pengji, her pretty face was also dyed crimson, and she said angrily, "Lang Jun seems to be enlightened now, he can really say anything. It's a good thing that this slave knows Lang Jun is a person, if you change it. Girl, this soul hasn't been hooked indiscriminately yet."
This sentence is translated, and it is only four words - if you don't marry, why don't you flirt!
"Okay, okay, I'll just be more restrained in the future, and I won't mess with the soul of the girl's family."
After Jiang Pengji finished chatting and laughing, she immediately turned her head and instructed Xunmei, "Go and tell Xu Ke to let him go to rest early, and he will follow me to visit Zhuangshang in the morning. Now the weather is fluctuating and the humidity is heavy at night. , He has been kneeling in the porch for so long, how can his knees resist the cold attack? I can't just rely on my youth to ignore it, find him a gentleman, and prescribe some medicines to ward off the cold."
Xunmei was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Jiang Pengji's instructions, her pale complexion returned to a bit of rosy.
She knew that Erlang-Jun was still the same Erlang-Jun, who had always been so gentle and generous.
Watching Xunmei retreat, Ta Xue snorted lightly, with a little disdain, and muttered in a low voice, "Wonderful!"
According to other people's hearing, she certainly couldn't hear what she said, but this did not include Jiang Pengji.
She turned her head suspiciously and asked, "Why did this girl Xunmei offend you? I see that the two of you usually have a good relationship."
Ta Xue's breathing was stagnant, and then she felt awkward and embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to answer her question.
In the end, she simply twisted the veil as if giving up on herself, bit her lip and said, "Lang Jun is kind and pure, and he was raised as a boy since he was a child. How can you know the thoughts of ordinary daughters? That Xunmei clearly has other thoughts, Thinking of finding another place."
"Looking for another place?" Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows with a smile, her voice lowered slightly, and she was a little more curious, "You said that Xunmei has a crush on Xu Ke?"
Xu Ke, although he was only seventeen years old, but in ancient times he was already an adult man who could start a family and start a business. Even in Jiang Pengji's view, he is more mature.
Ta Xue listened to her straightforward guess, her eyes were a little straight, and she seemed to be patrolling her face back and forth in disbelief, insisting on seeing something. However, where is Jiang Pengji's heart so easy to spy on, Du Xue gave up after a while.
"Where do you see Xu Ke? It's obviously because of a dissent, and I think Xu Ke is a rare commodity! Although both slaves and Xunmei are only maids by Lang Jun's side, there are also three, six, nine and other maids, not to mention Lang Jun's special situation, waiting for Lang Jun. After Jun weak crown... the status is even more different."
At first, Ta Xue gritted her teeth angrily, but when she said this, her cheeks turned red for no apparent reason, and she skipped some content vaguely.
In the entire Liu Mansion, except for a few masters who knew Liu Lanting's true gender, they were also treading snow and Xunmei.
The two maids were carefully selected by Liu She and Mrs. Ji. They were brought up from an early age, and their daily food and clothing expenses were even more particular than that of ordinary wealthy businessmen's daughters. Both of them are clear-sighted, they didn't understand it when they were young, can they still know it now
Unless there are some force majeure factors, Liu Lanting's gender is estimated to be kept hidden. As two maids who rarely know the truth, their future destination is also very clear - when Liu Lanting becomes an adult, she will definitely become her roommate. !
If Liu Lanting is a man, this kind of future is a perfect opportunity for every maid, and she has become a master.
Relying on the friendship when I was young, even if I can't spoil the back house alone, I can get a little bit of green eyes. Not to mention that Liu Lanting still has a soft-hearted and pure-hearted personality, and even if they have to seek a living under Mrs. Zhengshi in the future, they will never be neglected and abused.
It is a pity that no one knows better than them that Liu Lanting is not a man, but a woman of the same gender as them.
Xunmei has other thoughts and wants to find a way out for herself, which is normal.
Jiang Pengji's brain is bright, even if she doesn't know much about this ancient era, she can infer some logical things. Connected to the attitudes of Ta Xue and Xun Mei, the little doubts in my heart were instantly answered.
She pursed her lips and chuckled, she raised her hand and patted Ta Xue's hair bun affectionately, and in the other party's doubtful and angry eyes, she teased, "Xunmei does this, isn't that exactly what you want? She left. Now, from now on, you will be the only one who will exclusively love this young master."
Treading the snow: "… "
At first, her pretty face blushed, and then there was a bit more embarrassing cyan. When she realized that Jiang Pengji's face was indeed only teasing, she instantly understood that she had been tricked, and her eyes were bloodshot with anger, "Lang Jun is weird to tease people, slave is here. Are you a jerk at heart?"
He turned his back to her, and his anger was reflected under the candlelight, which made him look particularly charming and charming.
