Dazhou, Jiangnan.
Jiangnan has always been a land of fish and rice, rich in products, people live and work in peace and contentment, and Jiangnan's market will never lose to Kyoto. It's just that in such a bustling place, people can't help but stay a little longer with the unique warmth and affection of Jiangnan.
"Miss." Xiaocui twisted her eyebrows and followed Xu WANYING, "it's late. It's time for you to go back to the mansion. Otherwise, you will be reprimanded by the eldest lady."
Xu WANYING smiles gently. Her eyebrows are bright. Occasionally, a trace of mischief flashed. That's what a 16-year-old girl should have. She can't hide it. She blinks at Xiaocui. Xiaocui has no way to take Xu WANYING.
Xufu is the largest family in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a lot of money. It has been hard to shake its foundation in the south of the Yangtze River for several decades. Even people in the south of the Yangtze River have a legend that only when Xufu has people in Kyoto can it monopolize more than half of the basic business in the south of the Yangtze River. Who can see Xufu's people.
But Xu WANYING has no such treatment.
Xu WANYING is not only a concubine, but also a concubine of Xu family. Even this concubine gave birth to Xu WANYING, and she died before she even had time to look at her. Xu WANYING's intrigue in Xu's house has never been pleasant.
She lives carefully, low-key, and doesn't make public. She doesn't live in a place that Miss Xu Qianjin can live in. It's just a small room in the West. Xiaocui is the only one who follows the slave.
But this is the smartest way. If you don't keep a high profile in Xu's house, you can save your life. Otherwise, I'm afraid you've already lost your soul.
But Xiaocui is very clear that her master has always been unruly. Her cautious and submissive face will only appear in Xu's house. As long as she leaves Xu's house, Xu WANYING is just a bright and romantic girl.
"No Xu WANYING said with a smile, "doctors don't come to servants' places. Besides, I have already invited an in the morning, and the eldest lady has reprimanded him once."
The words are bright, and then Xu WANYING's mind is still in the market stall, watching carefully, Xiaocui is helpless, passively follow Xu WANYING.
This is also true. Since she was 14 years old, Xu WANYING has been in and out of Xu's house frequently, but the people in Xu's house have never found out. After all, Xu's status is only a little better than that of the slave talents, and even worse than that of the housekeeper and some big girls in Xu's house. Who will pay attention to everything about Xu WANYING.
"I'm going to buy my brother something he likes to go back." Xu WANYING said with a smile, "when you go to the temple to see him on the 15th of next month, you can send it to him."
Xiaocui didn't say anything.
If you want to say who Xu WANYING cares about in the mansion, it's only her twin brother Xu Ling. They are twins, and because of the twins, their biological mother will die. Xu WANYING came out first, Xu Ling came out later. When Xu Ling came out, she almost lost her life.
The eldest lady is taboo that Xu Ling is a son. She is afraid that she will threaten Dafang's position by going back, so she goes to the fortune teller and says that he must be Liu in the temple to survive. Xu Yuanzhi is also a superstitious person. Naturally, he didn't stop him. Xu Ling grew up in a temple and never left.
On the 15th of every month, Xu WANYING is the only one who goes to see Xu Ling. Only then can Xu WANYING go out aboveboard.
Because Xu WANYING knew very well that when she was 14 years old, Xu Ling had already died. We all know who did it.
Xu Ling was rescued by the abbot of the temple and Xu WANYING. After that, Xu WANYING never said anything to the people in Xu's house. On the fifteenth day of every month, Xu WANYING went out of the house in a aboveboard manner. The excuse was to give Xu Ling incense, so the people in Xu's house would not say anything more.
The only one who knows the truth is Xiaocui, who has been following Xu WANYING. Their master and servant depend on each other.
Xu WANYING chose a lot of strange things, and then walked contentedly towards the direction of Xu's house. Because it was late, Xu WANYING did not take the main road, but took the fast path.
No one will come here on weekdays, and the surrounding houses have been deserted for a long time, and there are few people. However, if you cross here, you can go to another busy market, and you can come back to Xufu soon. It's also the most convenient way, and no one will find it.
So Xu WANYING always likes to walk here.
Walking, Xu WANYING quiet, eyebrows slightly twisted up, the pace also stopped, Xiaocui accident: "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Don't talk." Xu WANYING stops Xiaocui.
Xiaocui didn't speak any more, but Xu WANYING listened carefully. Her voice was very subtle, almost a flash, and then she couldn't hear it. It was a gasp, a gasp from a thin and seriously injured person.
Xu WANYING has never practiced martial arts, but her hearing is much sharper than that of anyone who practices martial arts. She can detect the abnormalities around her for the first time. However, Xu WANYING has never said her talent. In many cases, doing nothing is the best protective color.
Soon, Xu WANYING identified one of the houses and walked towards it.
Xiaocui quickly follows up, but she doesn't know what Xu WANYING is going to do. Before she has time to speak, Xiaocui almost screams out, because Xu WANYING's hand is quickly clasped and directly dragged in. The man's voice is hoarse and suppressed, and she asks, "who are you?"
Xu WANYING's face became pale. This person's strength was too strong, but it seemed to burst out at the last struggle. Even in the dark, she couldn't see this person's face clearly. Xu WANYING felt that she was troubled. After all, no matter how safe Jiangnan is, there are many activities you can't see.
I don't know who this person is.
Xiaocui has been in a panic for a long time, but due to the current situation, she dare not say a word, for fear of attracting other people's attention. More importantly, a dart has been stabbed into the post beside her neck, which is only a millimeter away from her neck. As long as it is a little crooked, Xiaocui will be killed on the spot.
"Before you care who I am, don't you care about yourself? Your blood has stained my skirt. " Compared with Xiaocui's panic, Xu WANYING is more calm.
This time, Mu Zhanxiao was surprised in the dark. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him could be so calm. In the face of such a situation, it seems that Mu Cen was the last one who saw such a calm person.
Shen Shen, Mu Zhanxiao didn't say anything, but Xu WANYING's hand was released.
