incorrect.
There must be something wrong. Gong Jue's watch is cold. Luo Qi specially called her today. It's not just about kicking.
When small read looked up to the direction of the study, looking at the closed door, questions hovered in her mind, like a round of lines, can not escape.
What's going on?
When small read step by step down the stairs, but can't help looking at the study.
She really wanted to understand the world inside the door and what was in it, especially after Rosie's strange reaction.
Gong Ou is not there. She accompanies the twins for a while. Both of them are pulled by the teacher to meditate. When Xiao Nian has to leave alone, the blank time reminds her of the cold touch on the watch.
I can't get rid of that idea.
Shi Xiaonian made some cakes and biscuits and invited the two maids who were willing to talk about the palace affairs to have afternoon tea.
Three people sitting in the sun, the environment is elegant and comfortable, the air is fresh, there is no flashiness of concrete and steel, when Xiaonian took a sip of black tea and looked at them with a smile.
"Young lady, do you want to listen to the master?" The young maid bit the cake and said vaguely, "I don't know much about the master either. I only know that a long time ago, the palace family, no, it should be said that the master's mother was very proud when she went up. Later, the family declined slowly and was despised for marrying a Chinese."
"Yes, I heard my grandmother say that when my master was a teenager, he was rejected very much. It's said that he had a chance to go to a royal banquet, but he was ridiculed by those noble children at that time and was in a mess. When he came back, he called everyone in front of him and swore that one day, he would want all the people in England to know the surname" Gong "
Another maid said what she had heard.
The inspirational story of a young master after being excluded is similar to that of every self-made king in the world.
"What else?"
When small read light ground to ask a way.
"There's nothing else, but the master was bullied too much when he was young. Later he refused to marry a Western woman and chose his wife. Of course, my wife's family background is also very good. She was very helpful to my master at that time. " Said the maid, biting the cake.
"Look at what you say, it seems that the master married his wife just to help." Another maid scolded her.
"Hey, hey."
Shi Xiaonian smiles a little and pushes the cake in front of them. He thinks that he can't ask them anything, so he begins to guide them, "my father sounds like a hero, too. Unfortunately, I never get to see him."
"Young lady, haven't you met the master?"
Both maids looked at Shi Xiaonian in shock.
"Yes." Shixiaonian pretended to smile bitterly, "maybe my father doesn't like this civilian daughter-in-law, and my family background is very poor."
"Young lady, don't say that. The second young master will definitely like you. Besides, young lady is the most approachable of the masters of the palace." The maid comforted her.
Another touched his face and said, "I haven't seen the master for a long time."
"Well? Are you, too? " The two maids were surprised to find that they had not seen Gong Jue for a long time.
When small read quietly sitting on one side, watching them discuss, heart sink sink sink, fog more heavy, voice way, "how long have you not seen your father?"
"How long?" The young maid began to count with her fingers. The more she counted, the more frightened she was. "Oh, my God, it seems that I haven't seen the master for more than a year."
The other was also calculating, "no, no, I remember that the Lord hasn't personally given us presents on Christmas day for several years."
"It's just that I didn't distribute it myself. I delivered tea to my master's study last year. I saw him. He was standing in front of the window and making a phone call."
"Is it?"
The two maids had a heated discussion, trying to figure out how much time they would not see the master. When Xiaonian mentioned it, they didn't think about it.
"What about the housekeeper and servant who had been serving his father?"
When Xiao Nian interjected, didn't he say that every master of the palace would have a housekeeper and a bunch of servants?
"The master doesn't like to be served by too many people. Unless he goes out, the housekeeper resigned a few years ago, and he didn't hear that he wanted to hire a new one. Let Charles be his temporary substitute." The maid replied in all sorts.
Charles?
Charles is too busy. He has to take care of Rosie and take care of her. He is also a temporary housekeeper for Gongjue.
Just as she was saying that, a sound of footwork came. Shi Xiaonian turned his head and saw Charles, who had been led by her, walking this way. Two servants behind him were carrying a picture in their hands.
"Young lady, I've found a painting you asked me to look for. Where do you want to hang it?" Charles came up to her and said.
It's really efficient.
She hasn't heard much here."Hang up in gongou's study." Shi Xiaonian stood up from the table and left with Charles. Charles always did his duty and walked behind her. "The young lady and the maids get along very well."
"Well, I've made some new cakes for you to try, and I've reserved a portion for you, Charles." When small read said with a smile, like casual ordinary.
"Thank you, young lady." Charles followed her into the castle.
When small read to go inside, there are many people carrying luggage to come downstairs, see small read have bowed his head, "little lady."
"Hello." When small read low head, a little puzzled to ask, "where do you take the suitcase?"
The accommodation of the servants and bodyguards is not here. There should be no luggage for them.
"The master has something urgent to go to Switzerland. They are packing for him." Said Charles, standing aside.
"Father's leaving?" Shixiaonian looked at Charles in surprise, "but my mother is still ill."
Leave the depressed wife who has not recovered to go out? Even if it's a marriage, it's not suitable for us to have been together for so many years.
"There's something urgent to deal with in Switzerland." Said Charles.
"Oh. Shall I go and deliver it? "
When small read asked, palace Europe is not at home, Luo Qi is sick, she should go to send a palace baron.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go, young lady. I'll hang the picture for you."
Charles road.
“……”
Shixiaonian didn't know what to say. She nodded, walked forward and up the stairs. She couldn't help looking up to the direction of Gongjue's study.
Wait.
Yesterday she went to see Gong Jue. Today Luo Qi called her into the room with a slightly strange attitude. Now she says that Gong Jue is going away, just like escaping something.
Is she thinking too much?
The bodyguards moved their belongings downstairs. When Xiaonian absently asked Charles to hang up, his mind had already been on the door.
Charles and they were hanging pictures when Xiaonian came out of gongou's study. A bodyguard ran to Gongjue's study in a hurry.
"What's the matter?"
When small read aloud to ask a way.
"I just found out that the box of my favorite watch is not on. If the master knows that we are so careless, he will blame us. I have to find it." The bodyguard said anxiously, running all over with sweat, "there are still several boxes left to move."
Smell speech, when small read to turn Mou, way, "I help you to look for, is in the study?"
"Yes, it should be on the desk in the study. The master likes to clean the watch. The watch box must be there." The bodyguard said, "thank you very much, madam. I'll move things first."
"Well, you go."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, then went to the study and stood at the door of Gongjue's study. Shi Xiaonian couldn't help taking a breath, stretched out his hand and pushed it away.
As soon as the door was opened, the strong fragrance came again.
She covered her nose and looked around. The study was too big. There were bookshelves everywhere. There were so many books on the bookshelves that there was almost no empty space.
When I raised my head, I saw that the ceiling was designed as a round arch, and the patterns on it were magnificent and complicated.
In fact, if you look carefully, this study is nothing special.
When Xiaonian goes to the desk, it's easy to find the watch box. She opens the box, and there are all kinds of tools to clean the watch. She closes the box and prepares to leave.
Looking over a corner, I saw a bronze box on the ground, which was turning like a running lantern. There was hot air coming out slowly.
Shixiaonian walked over, and the closer he came, the more pungent the taste was.
She squatted down and reached for the cover of the box. There was water in the rotating bronze box. The water was not clean. There were grass leaves and other things floating on it, and some particles were deposited.
It's like Chinese medicine.
When the small read secretly think, almost want to put things out to study, think and stop.
Shixiaonian, Curiosity Kills the cat. This is the palace. Don't move or think.
No matter how curious you are, you should keep your duty.
“……”
After warning herself, Shi Xiaonian put the lid back and decided to forget all the questions. She stood up and left.
The sight glanced over the books on the bookshelf. Gong Jue's collection of books was really rich. Those books didn't exist for a long time, but there were.
I don't know if there are any out of print books like painting, such as the hand binding of a great painter.
Shixiaonian thinks wildly and forces himself not to be curious and explore everything here. As a result, when his mind is confused, he is prone to make mistakes. When he is unstable, he bumps forward and hits the bookshelf.
With a bang, several books fell one after another.
She quickly put down the watch box, picked up the book and put it back. Suddenly, she saw that there were some strange patterns in it. Shi Xiaonian took out several books. Originally, there was a revolving lock similar to the one on the door of a safe.Is the safe on the shelf?
This way is not so mysterious. Shi Xiaonian didn't think much about it. He put the books back one after another and rolled up the cover.
When Xiaonian had to stand on tiptoe and stretch her hand to go in and smooth the page, her finger touched the lock on it. With a click, the old bookshelf began to move in front of her.
