The eighth day of January.
Lianxiang has not been to Hong'en Courtyard to entertain guests since yesterday, and rests peacefully in her own courtyard.
These two days every year are her rare holidays.
Don’t think that singers don’t work hard. Even a green-waisted singer like Lianxiang is actually very tired. She has to deal with endless smiles, treat endless guests, and have to suppress her likes and dislikes in the desire of all kinds of men. Swirl next. Both physically and mentally exhausted.
To use the words of the old bustard: Eating this bowl of rice will always be accompanied by this hardship. How can there be any job in the world that only takes advantage but does not endure hardship?
Lianxiang has always agreed with the Madam's words, but the reason is different from the Madam's. The meal she ate was not the bowl of a singer.
While the maid Xiaoqin was busy combing Lianxiang's hair, she looked at Lianxiang in the mirror triumphantly and said, "Miss, your guess was really accurate before. Master Shen is so popular now that you actually came here to check on him!"
Another maid, Xiao Rong, who was helping organize the wardrobe beside her, took over without waiting for Lianxiang to speak: "That's right! Miss has a good taste in men."
"Bah! What do you mean by looking at a man? Just shut your mouth if you can't speak!" Lianxiangjiao scolded. She was not like Shen Hao like other men. She always had a different kind of charm that she couldn't even explain. .
In the past, they would always be very happy whenever a note was given to them. Because every time you complete a note, you will get a piece of credit. When the credit is enough, you can leave Hong'enyuan and return to the organization without having to wear a mask all the time. Isn’t it good to practice with peace of mind? I have to choose who is willing to do this?
But this time when she got the note to investigate Shen Hao, Lianxiang felt a little flustered for no reason for the first time. She said, "Master Shen has great potential," but she didn't want to see someone investigating Shen Hao.
Generally speaking, when the superiors send a note to check on a person, it means that that person is going to be in trouble. What's more, the note that checked Shen Hao gave a lot of credit, indicating that the price charged was not small. The person who checked Shen Hao was probably very wealthy.
After spending many years together, Xiaoqin saw Lianxiang's slightly frowning brows in the mirror and said with a smile, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Do you really have any thoughts about Master Shen?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What ideas can I have?"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Mr. Shen is young and promising, and he has a good appearance. I heard he is still unmarried, and he has potential and talent. It is normal for you to be tempted."
"Brush your hair well, if you talk nonsense again I'll hit you!" Lianxiang pretended to hit you, which made Xiaoqin behind her shrink her neck. She had a smile on her face but she actually shut up and stopped teasing her young lady.
But Lianxiang's reaction was seen by the two maids, how could they not understand it?
Xiao Rong packed up the wardrobe at this time and snorted: "Miss, don't get yourself into trouble. None of the men in the flower house are good. Nine out of ten words that are glib and tongue-in-cheek are false. Let's have a good time." You have to complete the task, and when you get back, why don't you find a good husband? I don't like the man named Shen anyway."
"Xiao Rong, please stop saying a few words. The young lady knows what to do." Xiao Qin stood behind Lian Xiang and saw that Lian Xiang's face was already very ugly in the mirror and quickly spoke to persuade her.
The three of them have worked together for many years and have a close relationship. They are not really masters and servants. It can be seen from these words that the two maids are worried about Lianxiang.
However, Lianxiang remained silent. The expression on his face became indifferent, as if there was no previous conversation. The two maids looked at each other and curled their lips, but they didn't say a word and were doing their own thing silently.
Just after the Youshi period, Lianxiang had already tidied herself up. She didn’t wear heavy makeup or extravagant clothes. She just wore a red dress and her long hair was tied behind her head. She didn’t even have a small gold ornament. That’s all. She looked completely gone as charming as before. Explicit temperament? But if you look closely, you can see from those eyes that the charm is hidden, but it is even more charming.
In the kitchen, Xiaoqin is the chef, and Xiaorong is the assistant. The two of them move quickly, and they have already prepared a large table of dishes, which are all placed in the main room. There is a ground dragon burning in the main room, which is very warm. Don't worry about the dishes cooling down quickly.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Coming!"
There was a knock on the door? Xiao Rong ran out of the kitchen, answered loudly and opened the door bolt. It turned out that the real owner was here.
"Master Shen, please come quickly!"
Shen Hao entered the door with a smile. Following Xiao Rong's guidance, he entered the main room.
The room was very warm. As soon as Shen Hao entered the door, he saw Lianxiang standing up to greet him with a smile and bowed to him.
"Master Shen? What's wrong?"
Shen Hao was slightly dazed. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Miss Lianxiang is very suitable for this kind of light makeup? It makes people feel better. I was just stunned again just now."
"Hehe? Sit down and talk." Lianxiang patted the chair next to her and motioned for Shen Hao to sit over.
"Does it really look better if I wear light makeup?"
"Yeah. At least that's what I think. By the way, can we start eating? I'm hungry."
"Let's eat? Xiaoqin and Xiaorong are eating in the kitchen? It's just the two of us at the table today." She blushed slightly as she remembered something.
Shen Hao was very natural. He grabbed the chopsticks and started eating. He has now also learned Jiang Cheng's habit of eating first before serving food, and then talking and drinking.
Lianxiang sat next to Shen Hao, smiling and picking up chopsticks to eat. From time to time, she would pick up food for Shen Hao, and the two of them would chat for a while.
"Your maid's skills are very good, no worse than the cooks in your Hong'en courtyard." Shen Hao ate almost half of the food on the table by himself, then he opened the wine bottle on the table and smelled that it was Wuliangye. He didn't expect that this woman was really It took a lot of thought.
"By the way, this is for you [58]. I wish you a happy birthday."
After taking a sip of wine, Shen Hao took out a small silver box from his storage bag. The box was given at an auction and was specially wrapped with a strip of red silk. It looked earthy and beautiful. It was the basic packaging for gifts in this world. Shen Hao thought about it and finally resisted removing it.
"Yeah! Do you have something to get? What is it? Can I take it apart and take a look?"
"Well, let's see if you like it."
Opening the box, the ring inside caught Reixiang's eyeballs. This is a magic weapon made by the weapon refiner of Qinghua Valley. It must be impeccable in appearance. The ring surrounded by a green fox is rare, beautiful and special.
"I'll bring it for you."
Shen Hao took out the ring from the box, looped it with his right hand and hugged Lianxiang into his arms, then took Lianxiang's left hand with one hand and put the ring on it with the other.
Lianxiang didn't resist, she just let Shen Hao do it with a smile. After putting the ring on, she asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
"It's very beautiful. You can try pouring the real energy into it to activate it. It's a magic circle with a charm-enhancing spell."
"Don't try!"
Shen Hao was stunned: "Why?"
"You keep rejecting other people's charms. It's useless to you. I don't want to waste my time trying."
"Then I won't give up this time, you give it a try."
