Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 68 Lin Xiaoyu

The sedan chair entered from the east gate of the county seat, came to the Huagao mansion adjacent to my home in the west of the city, and was carried all the way into a courtyard.

When the sedan chair stopped, Zhao Xu opened the cotton curtain.

Zhu Yuan rubbed the head of the little girl who was kneeling at his feet, and while getting out of the sedan chair, he confessed: "Let's take the fish home first."

So the sedan chair was lifted again.

She was the only one left, and she still kept her kneeling posture, feeling that it would be very comfortable to do so. As for the small official's seat, even if he asked her to sit with her, she would not be able to.

This is called a rule.

The sedan chair left Huagao's mansion, turned right and soon arrived at Zhu Yuan's house. Of course, it could not go through the main entrance, but continued westward. The Moon Gate next to the courtyard.

After the sedan chair was put down, she got off the sedan chair, did not forget to bless the bearers, and turned into the moon gate alone.

This is a corridor going north.

Passing through the not too long corridor, there was another small door. She raised her hand and knocked. A servant woman opened the door and looked at it. Seeing it was her, she quickly opened the door and said eagerly: "Little lady, why are you alone?" return?"

She smiled shyly and pointed to the east.

The maid didn't understand, but she knew that this special girl who could be with the young master was not talkative, so she smiled wittily and said, "It's noon, young lady, let's go back to the house for dinner."

She nodded.

Not forgetting to be blessed, he turned and walked towards the garden in front of him.

The garden is not as big as the house on the back lake. If the whole island is enclosed there, it will be even bigger in the future.However, the rockery here is very beautiful, so instead of returning to the inner house along the flat path next to it, she meandered into the rockery.

A little nervous about sneaking over, he put his hands in his front pockets.

This was sewn for her by a petty official. There is also a saying that it is called a lucky bag, and she is also called a lucky baby.

She feels fine.

There are two small round things in the pocket, which are two copper balls, which can be touched every time they are inserted.

It was given by the petty officer.

her baby.

Soon came to the top of the rockery, there is a small pavilion here, standing in the pavilion full of novelty and looking around, you can see the east courtyard, but only up to the eaves, and you can't see the figure further down.Turning to the inner house to the west, the wall is very high, and only the eaves of the inner house can be seen.

Goo-goo-goo-goo

It was the cry of turtledoves. She turned her head and soon saw two turtledoves among the branches of a big tree she couldn't name on the east side of the fake mountain.

I'm a little hungry.

She is very good at catching fish, but she doesn't like to eat fish because her name is Xiaoyu.

Can shoot birds.

Because of its great strength, you don’t need a boy’s slingshot, you can just throw stones, and then find a place to roast it secretly.

Not anymore.

No longer a little girl.

However, she still couldn't hold back, found a small stone and threw it by feeling without aiming at it. The force was very light, but it hit one of them accurately. Seeing the two turtledoves flying away with their wings fluttering, she felt Just a little excited.

I am amazing.

Just don't let the petty officials know that if a daughter's family is so powerful here, she will definitely be disgusted.

Ok.

The petty official was more likely to just tease her.

The little official is so nice.

When the voice came, she was startled. She thought it was someone from the east courtyard and she was about to run away. After confirming that it was a female voice, she relaxed a little.

On the other side of the rockery, on the path up the mountain, a group of figures soon appeared, they were the girls in the inner house.

She envied them that they could wear nice clothes.

She can't.

The little official said that she could only wear a sack, because under the sack, the little official only liked to look at it alone.

She thinks it should be.

The group arrived soon, three girls, and two servants carrying food boxes.

She blessed them again, and was about to leave, but was caught. She knew that this person was called Liu Niang, and had a strange two-character surname, Liangqiu.When she was caught, she didn't dare to use force. She was very strong, and she was worried that she would not be able to hold on, and she would bring Liangqiu Liuniang down, because she had a pair of very small feet.

It's hard for her to climb up this rockery.

Pulling her to sit down at the stone table in the small pavilion, Liu Niang was very affectionate, and asked her if she had eaten, she shook her head, so she asked the maid to put out the food in the food box and invited her to eat together.

Thinking about the little official having dinner at the governor's house next door, he will definitely come back to sleep when it's over, and probably won't go to the water's edge today, so she agreed to come down.

The other two girls were also very affectionate.

She kept sending things to her small bowl, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she ate a lot.

Finally had a full meal.

When she was still at home, her sister-in-law said that she was a rice vat and wanted to send it out early. She knew it was not a good word, but when she arrived at the petty official's house, she knew she could eat as much as she wanted, but she was always careful not to eat too much.

I don't want to be called a rice vat by petty officials.

Worse than a sack.

After dinner, the three girls did not go back to the inner house, and they also mentioned that the servants and wives had already closed the small doors, and the little officials were not at home, in case outsiders came in, they could relax in the garden to breathe.

At this point, another girl murmured in a low voice, saying that the little officials are too messy, how can they make the house look like a public house?
She knew that this was the only one of the three girls with a name, a nice name, Xin Yanwan. The name came from a book called "The Book of Songs", and she was once the daughter of an official named 'Tong San'.

She doesn't talk, she likes to listen to people talk, and she can see and remember a lot.

Immediately, she saw that Xin Yanwan started to mutter, and the other two girls looked at her strangely, and then she immediately shut up, her face was still a little pale.

She still doesn't speak.

But she knows.

How can you complain about the petty officials, who are so good?

She wasn't angry either.

They complain about the petty officials, and if the petty officials know about it, they will definitely dislike them.

But she won't tell the petty officials.

That's called a gossip.

She felt that Liu Niang and the other one, Li Sanniang, might talk to the officials.

Then, the three of them, the petty official didn't like it anymore.

The little official likes her.

According to the little official, like Qing Niang, she is the most obedient.

Thinking of this, her face became a little hot.

The three girls didn't notice, and when the tableware was cleared and they started to embroider, she was immediately attracted again.

she won't.

And...Liu Niang is embroidering a piece of red satin with plum blossoms, she thinks, it's very suitable... very suitable for making... that.

If she wears it, he will be happy with her.

Liu Niang found out this time, stretched out her hand to pull her over, and finally showed her intentions, pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stuck it in her head, she quickly shook her head and refused.

Little officials like to touch her head the most. What should I do if I wear hairpins?
Liu Niang stabbed her head twice, but both were pulled off. She looked at the bracelet on her wrist and saw that there was no gold hairpin, so she didn't dare to continue. She took her little hand and begged, "Yu'er, my sister embroidered it." A few handkerchiefs, you pity my sister, give it to the little official..."

As he spoke, he shed tears.

so poor.

The other two girls immediately echoed and wiped their tears, saying that they also had something and wanted her to help deliver it.

She didn't want to say yes.

She is not stupid, she is also his daughter's family, but...they are pitiful.
