Xiao Qingxue was stuck on her words, and after a while she said, "It should be okay. If you don't recognize it, ask Mr. Qingshan and let him teach us?"
Xiao Qingxue put her hands on her cheeks and frowned: "Sect Master Zhou and the others mistakenly thought that we were nobles because of how well we dressed. But if the nobles of this era can read, wouldn't we reveal our secrets? No, no, no."
Xiao Luolan sighed inwardly, life in ancient times was more difficult than she imagined.
Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, Xiao Luolan told her daughter the questions asked by Sect Leader Zhou and her own answers.
After hearing this, Xiao Qingxue gave her mother a thumbs up: "Mom, you are so witty!"
"Really?" Xiao Luolan felt that the lie she told was so full of loopholes that she didn't believe it herself.
"Sect Master Zhou thinks we are nobles. Your husband should be a good match in their eyes. We are alone now, just in case, I mean just in case." Xiao Qingxue pouted: "In case someone wants to do something wrong If we don't do something well, we might worry about our missing father."
Xiao Luolan thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.
"Let's get dressed first." Xiao Qingxue pulled her mother to take out all the clothes and found that the preparations were quite complete. There were two sets of clothes, one light green and one purple. The colors were not eye-catching and the fabric felt soft and smooth. Soft and smooth.
Xiao Qingxue picked up a top that looked like a bra, made some gestures, then lowered her head and looked at her mother again, her eyes filled with envy.
Xiao Luolan felt uncomfortable when her daughter looked at her, and her face turned red: "Stop looking at it and put it on quickly."
Neither mother nor daughter were familiar with ancient clothes. After putting on the bra, they were wearing white trousers. She tried hard to recall whether the appearance of trousers now was in line with the development of ancient history. Then she got tired of thinking about it and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it’s useless to think too much, so I picked up a light green double-breasted straight collar sweater and put it on, a chest-length red and white skirt, brocade socks, and cloud-shaped silk shoes, and kicked off. A few steps.
She moved quickly, and after she was done wearing it, her mother put on her shorts.
Xiao Qingxue still easily recognized ancient clothes. She told her mother the names of these ancient clothes while helping her mother get dressed.
Xiao Luolan looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a dark green cross-collar blouse with a half-arm jacket, and a purple high-waisted skirt that hung straight down.
It seems like the skirt I haven’t worn in the past half of my life has been worn out here.
"Hey, is there something else underneath?" Xiao Qingxue picked up the small brocade box from the box and opened it. It looked very familiar.
Xiao Luolan saw that the brocade box was filled with jewelry that she had given to Sect Master Zhou. The jade bracelet her daughter bought for her was also in it, but the pearl earrings were missing.
"Mom, Master Zhou has returned your things."
"Maybe he really is a good guy."
Xiao Qingxue muttered to herself, and Xiao Luolan took off the door bolt.
Not long after, the waiter from the inn came in to clean up. Before leaving, a waiter placed a wooden bucket and incense in the corner of the screen and then left one after another.
After Xiao Qingxue waited for them to leave, she went over and saw that it was an ancient toilet with a thick layer of plant ash underneath.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, are you there?" Lei Hu's loud voice stood out outside the door.
"It's Thunder Tiger." Xiao Luolan said to her daughter, then opened the door.
Xiao Qingxue looked at the big and round Lei Hu.
"Lei Langjun." Xiao Luolan smiled at Lei Hu in unskilled Youzhou dialect: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Luolan originally called Lei Hu the same as Mr. Qingshan. After calling him Mr. Lei, Lei Hu waved his hands like a needle pricking his butt. Mr. Qingshan laughed on the side and then told her that she could just call him Lei Hu. You can also call him Lei Langjun.
Xiao Luolan felt that it was impolite to call him by his name, so he could only call him Lei Langjun.
Lei Hu took out a piece of paper, handed it to Mrs. Xiao, and said in a rough voice: "Mrs. Xiao, this is a deed of betrayal. For those who have passed through the government, it is given to you."
Xiao Luolan was confused when she heard it. Before she could understand, a piece of yellowish paper with a red seal was stuffed in her hand.
Lei Hu turned sideways, and Xiao Luolan and Xiao Qingxue saw behind him a little girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old wearing Tsing Yi. Although the girl's clothes were patched, she was neat and clean, but she looked a little thin. Xiao Luolan and Xiao Qingxue lowered their heads and gathered their crotch.
"Nu Fangyun has met Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao."
"I saw that you were in need of a personal maid, so I bought it from Ren Yazi." Lei Hu said, "Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao will see what she does. If it doesn't work, I will quit."
Although the language was not fluent, Xiao Luolan still understood.
Did Lei Hu give her someone as a gift?
Xiao Luolan pinched the fluttering paper in her hand and felt a little breathless for a moment. Xiao Qingxue was also frightened.
"Me." Xiao Luolan's throat was dry and she subconsciously wanted to retreat into the room.
Fang Yun pinched the corner of her clothes nervously. She washed the clothes cleanly just to leave a good impression in front of the noble man. However, after waiting for a long time for an answer, she still felt panicked and scared. Finally, she felt With a sudden movement, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and begged: "Please accept me as a slave. I will definitely serve you well! Please accept me as a slave!"
Fang Yun knew that if she was sent back to Yaxing this time, her experience would be even worse. There was a severe drought in Buzhou. She fled with her parents to Cangxian County in Youzhou. The county magistrate was kind and allowed them to enter the city. Unfortunately, her parents were old and frail. Unable to bear the long journey, Fang Yun fell ill, so Fang Yun voluntarily sold herself as a slave and worked as a maid in Master Li's house in the county. The money from selling her body allowed her parents to seek medical treatment. However, a year later, her parents were still seriously ill and both passed away.
Mr. Li is a pervert. Even though she tried her best to avoid him, the lady still found some excuse to betray him. This time she heard that someone wanted to buy a maid to serve the lady personally, so she put on the most decent clothes. , I hope the noble man can choose me. Luck does not come all the time, not this time. If Renya sells her to a more miserable place next time, what will happen to her then?
Seeing that her forehead was red, Xiao Luolan helped her up in a panic: "Don't..."
"Please Madam, please accept the slave." Fang Yun's tears kept flowing.
Lei Hu said angrily: "Don't cry." Then he turned to Xiao Luolan and said: "If Mrs. Xiao doesn't like it, you can give me the deed of betrayal."
Xiao Luolan saw the little girl's desperate eyes, her face turned pale, she closed her eyes, and then said, "No, no, it's her."
Fang Yun looked happy and wiped away her tears: "Thank you, sir."
Seeing that Mrs. Xiao had accepted it, Lei Hu stopped staying and said goodbye.
Fang Yun followed the noble man happily and uneasily.
Xiao Luolan sat on the stool, looking at the dim sky outside, in a daze.
"Mom." Xiao Qingxue shouted softly.
Xiao Luolan took a deep breath and hugged her gently: "Mom is here."
Fang Yun found that her new master was really the strangest master she had ever seen. There were two new masters in total, one was Mrs. Xiao and the other was Miss Xiao. The two masters had gentle voices, although their accents were weird. , seems to be from another continent.
After she arranged the hair of the two ladies, she took the initiative to find work. The clothes the ladies had changed kept her in for a long time. Later, when she realized what she was doing, Fang Yun quickly confessed, but Mrs. Xiao just asked her where she had lived before. Waiting for her After saying that, Mrs. Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally touched her head.
Fang Yun's eyes widened, Mrs. Xiao's hands were so warm and soft.
Xiao Qingxue took out the plaster given by the medicine boy at the inn and sat opposite her mother. Xiao Luolan saw that the bruise on her daughter's forehead was much better, but she still applied a little with her fingertips and rubbed it on the injured area.
After applying the ointment, Xiao Luolan looked at the injury on Fang Yun's forehead and asked her to step forward and apply some ointment as well.
Fang Yun looked at her new master, feeling like she was in a dream.
It gets dark very quickly in summer, and the dusk in the distance is dark green.
Fang Yun carefully held her new master's clothes and prepared to wash them. The servant knew that she was Mrs. Xiao's maid, so she was very polite to her and gave directions.
As soon as Fang Yun went down the fifth floor, she saw a fat figure appearing at the door of the inn.
Anyone who has met Magistrate Dou will be deeply impressed by him, because his figure is so recognisable!
However, what County Magistrate Dou and Fang Yun had seen at this moment were somewhat different. What Master Li looked like in front of Magistrate Dou was what Magistrate Dou looked like at this moment.
I saw his fat body running into the hall with two or three people behind him. He was so fast that even the shopkeeper didn't react and rushed upstairs. Fang Yun was afraid of bumping into the county magistrate, so he quickly stepped aside. Magistrate Dou It rushed past her like the wind, but suddenly stopped.
Fang Yun heard the voice of the person who bought her from Ren Yazi.
Lei Hu picked up Dou Yaoming like a chicken, his thick eyebrows twisted and he looked even more ferocious: "Where is your famous thorn?"
Dou Yaoming quickly took out his famous thorn and handed it to Lei Hu.
Lei Hu put him down and prepared to give it to the sect master first.
Unexpectedly, the Cang County magistrate behind him suddenly made a long line, his face was red and white, and his voice was shaking: "The lower official Dou Yaoming pays homage to the Jiedushi Lord!"
The three people behind him couldn't help but bow their heads.
Fang Yun had never seen the county magistrate, who she regarded as aloof, now looking like a humble servant. As the visitor approached, her legs involuntarily knelt down, and the gorgeous dress she was holding fell to the ground.
The black boots stopped in front of the green skirt, and the hem of the skirt hung down along the stairs.
Fang Yun's mind went blank and she was covered in cold sweat. A rich male voice sounded above her.
"Has Mrs. Xiao used the food?"
Chapter 12
Seeing no response, Zhou Xu had to ask again.
"As far as I'm concerned, my lord, I haven't used it yet."
Fang Yun knelt on the ground, her thin shoulders trembling slightly, and even her answering voice sounded like a kitten meowing.
Zhou Xu glanced at Lei Hu and asked him to choose carefully. It was a good thing for him to choose a maid with such a character. Lei Hu opened his eyes wide. He didn't blame the maid named Fang Yun for this at all. He didn't look at the magistrate of Cang County and Are the county magistrate and the others trembling too?
Lei Bao hit Lei Hu hard with his elbow. Can he glare in front of the sect leader? !
Lei Hu feels wronged. His eyes are so strange to him?
Zhou Xu looked at the Cang County magistrate who was shaking like a fat quail, and realized that the outside world had a lot of misunderstandings about him. Did he look like the kind of person who would kill people when they didn't like him?
"Sect Master, this is the famous thorn of the magistrate of Cang County. Please take a look at it." Lei Hu lowered his head and presented the famous thorn with both hands.
Zhou Xu took it over and glanced at it, recalling it in his mind.
"Who are you, Dou Shengming?"
Dou Yaoming's heart suddenly suddenly turned around, and he answered tremblingly: "To my lord, he is my eldest brother."
Zhou Xu turned around and went upstairs. Dou Yaoming took the county magistrate, the master Bo, and the master behind him. When the diners downstairs saw the government officials coming to clear the place, they did not dare to say anything. Those who were afraid of trouble had already dispersed with their heads. The shopkeeper's I saw the diners running away very fast, but because there were government servants present, there were no defaulters, so I was lucky that I didn't lose much.
In a blink of an eye, he saw the maid in green on the stairs holding clothes and winking at the waiter.
The waiter familiarly led the maid to the clean laundry room in the backyard. Even the honey locusts were new.
Before being kicked out of Mr. Li's house, Fang Yun also served the third lady of the Li family. The third lady would occasionally go to the Hongfa Temple in Taiyang County to worship Buddha. If she couldn't come back on the way, a group of servants and maids would stay at the inn, like They, humble slaves, cannot live in good guest rooms, so their choice is the big shop or utility room in the inn.
Therefore, Fang Yun knew that the clothes washing areas were different between distinguished guests and slaves.
The laundry with quiet environment and clean well water is used by distinguished guests, and the well near the stables and kitchen is used by them.
Fang Yun carefully washed and dried the expensive and gorgeous clothes, took the Tianzi Fang No. 3 number plate handed to her by the waiter, and left. It was hot in the summer, so those clothes could be retrieved early tomorrow morning based on the number plate.
Xiao Luolan and Xiao Qingxue in Room No. 3 of Tianzi were currently studying the yellowing deed of betrayal.
I saw it was written in traditional Chinese characters.
On April 11, the fifth year of Yongxing in the Dachu Dynasty, Lei Hu bought a maidservant from Yahang in Cangxian County, named Fangyun, aged 17, and handed over two taels of silver. The thief recognizes his name and pays homage to the owner. If he can't, he will repay the original price twice as much.
It's a small piece of paper, but there's a lot written underneath.
