Chapter 73

Walk through a garden.

There are several small courtyards not far apart at the back, all surrounded by green trees and bamboo trees, which are quite elegant.

Luo Qingfeng is not picky.

After looking around for a while, I randomly selected a small courtyard in the innermost courtyard.

The four characters "Green Bamboo Garden" are written on the gate of the courtyard.

The door was ajar but not locked.

Xiao Tao memorized his name and took him in directly.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the fragrance of flowers all over the courtyard.

There are many flowers planted in the corners on both sides of the courtyard, and some flower trees are planted in the middle of the courtyard.

Immediately under the corridor, there are two winter plum trees planted.

At this time, the branches have sprouted.

Xiao Tao introduced in a crisp voice: "No teacher has ever lived in this small courtyard that the master chose. It turned out to be the residence of Sister Ting'er and the others. They were appreciated by the madam and entered the inner courtyard, so it became vacant."

Luo Qingfeng nodded and still looked around.

Xiaotao looked at him strangely.

Along the way, Mr. Luo only said one sentence to her, which seemed a little different from the previous conversation in front of the housekeeper.

Luo Qingfeng felt her eyes and seemed to have discovered his own flaw. He quickly smiled and said: "The courtyard is quite nice, quiet and elegant, very suitable for studying."

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Young master, are you still going to take the first prize exam?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said: "Of course, we, the scholars, studied hard in a poor family. Who doesn't want to be the top scholar in high school and return home with honor?"

This little girl has big eyes, smart and cute, and looks innocent.

However, he will never let down his guard.

From the moment he entered the mansion, he assumed that everyone in the mansion might be demons, so he had to be careful.

He plays an eloquent scholar, but he is no longer the taciturn person before.

The more bold and careless the newcomers who enter the mansion are, the safer they will be.On the contrary, those who are not good at words, taciturn, and deliberately low-key and unattractive will be suspected.

He has no doubts about the wisdom of any demon.

Wouldn't a demon who can play with people's desires and devise all kinds of terrible conspiracies be smart?

Therefore, he must be wary of anyone in the house.

into the house.

The living room inside is not big, and there are three sleeping rooms, one large and two small.

The large room is divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by only half a wall.

The inner room is where the owner rests. It is divided into two spaces by a bead curtain. One contains a bed, wardrobe, dresser and other items, which is a place for night, and the other contains a soft desk and other items, which is used for reading, drinking tea and taking a nap during the day. The outer room is only big enough for a small bed, which is where the maid rests, so she can enter the inner room to serve her at any time.

As for the other two small rooms, they are usually where guests come to rest.

Xiaotao took him into the main room and said with a smile: "Master, look, this place has just been tidied up. It is very clean. I will help you get quilts, pillows and other items later. If you need anything else, please tell me." of."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Can't I go out yet?"

A troubled look appeared on Xiao Tao's face: "The chief steward said that the young master can only go out when he gets his identity plate tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng didn't say any more and said, "Okay, go get your things."

Xiaotao nodded and said, "Yeah."

Then he blinked his big black eyes and asked crisply: "What color do you like, sir, for quilts, towels and other supplies?"

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's not green, it's fine."

Xiao Tao was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded, turned around and left briskly.

Luo Qingfeng walked to the window and saw her petite figure walking out of the courtyard. After that, he carefully checked the entire house, even the kitchen and woodshed in the lower room.

Seeing nothing unusual, I felt relieved.

At this time, the sun has gradually risen to the sky.

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but feel worried when she thought that Sister Nightingale was about to enter the house.

But at the beginning, the demon probably didn't dare to take action easily.

If it is really the kind of demon that likes to suck the yang and yin of men and women, it is estimated that it will only do it in the dead of night after everyone has fallen asleep.

So the night in the house is the most dangerous.

With this in mind, Xiao Tao and the other two maids quickly brought quilts, basins and other daily necessities, and then began to decorate the house.

The other two little maids looked like a pair of twin sisters, they looked quite similar. One was named Xiao Zi and the other was named Xiao Jing.

Luo Qingfeng asked who gave the name.

Both of them said: "It's the chief steward."

After hearing this, Luo Qingfeng nodded and said: "What a good name! The redbuds are blooming together, the sisters are in the same spirit, the butler is indeed very talented!"

The two sisters were very happy when they heard the praise and worked harder and harder.

After Luo Qingfeng left the room, the two sisters immediately approached Xiao Tao and whispered: "Good girl, you are going to be happy. This Mr. Luo is young, handsome, talented, and so kind. Lianda The housekeeper is impressed, it will be very difficult in the house from now on."

When the three of them made the bed together, the two sisters talked to each other, full of envy.

"Xiao Tao, it's better to save your life and get out of the sea of ​​misery early and follow such a beautiful young man. Hey, we may be like Xiaohong and Xiaolu in the future, and we may be given away to some bad old man at any time..."

"I heard that Xiaochun, who was taken away by the teacher last month, committed suicide by jumping into the river. It is said that the bad old man often beat and scolded her, and was planning to sell her to a brothel..."

As the two talked, they couldn't help but burst into tears thinking about their future fate.

Xiao Tao quickly comforted.

After a while.

The two sisters wiped away their tears again and smiled bitterly.

"What's the use of saying this? We are all lowly servants and slaves. This is our fate. The master will give it to whomever he wants. There is no room for resistance. If we can have enough food, clothing and clothing, we are better than many people. …”

"By the way, Xiaotao, do you need to make the small bed in the outer room?"

"Hey, aren't you going to sleep with Mr. Luo? Xiaocha and the others are extremely envious, saying that tonight you will enjoy the gentle whipping of this beautiful young man. You will definitely not be able to get up in the morning, hehe... "

"By the way, Xiao Tao, you have to seize the opportunity and have sex with Mr. Luo as soon as possible. If you can have a happy marriage, it will be more stable. Otherwise, be careful and you will be given away."

"Yeah, it's okay to give it to a young master. If you give it to those bad and ugly old men, your life will be worse than death..."

After tidying up and muttering some more, Little Bauhinia reluctantly left.

Luo Qingfeng was admiring the blooming flowers in the small courtyard, holding a freshly picked green tangerine in his hand and tasting it, grinning sourly.When the two sisters came out, they saw him grinning because he was sore. They immediately let out a "chi", covered their mouths and said with a smile: "Master Luo, the green tangerines in the courtyard will make your teeth sore. Master, if you want to If you want to eat oranges, just ask Xiaotao to go to the kitchen to get them."

Luo Qingfeng stood up and said, "Just a casual taste. By the way, when will the butler come back? I came in a hurry today and haven't brought my books with me yet. If I don't have books, it won't be easy to go to class tomorrow, so I want to go out."

Xiao Zi thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask you later."

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and thanked him.

Seeing how polite he was, the two sisters were all smiles on their faces. They looked back at Xiao Tao at the door and sighed secretly in their hearts, full of envy.

After the two left, Luo Qingfeng finished the remaining green tangerines, turned around and looked at the little maid down the corridor and said, "Xiao Tao, what were you muttering about in the room just now? You were laughing sometimes and crying sometimes."

Xiao Tao suddenly looked shy and said with a blush, "No, it's nothing."

Then he hurriedly said: "Sir, lunch should have been prepared. I will go and bring you some food."

There are two meals in charge of the house, one lunch and one dinner.

The food should be pretty good.

Luo Qingfeng did not refuse.

Although meat is probably not enough for his current appetite, the free lunch is still very delicious.

Xiao Tao quickly brought the food.

Three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetarian.

For ordinary people, this meal is very luxurious, but for Luo Qingfeng today, it is definitely not enough.

Because of his cultivation, he will go out later and buy some meat to eat.

While Luo Qingfeng was eating her meal with her head down, she heard the sound of the little maid standing beside her swallowing her saliva.

His heart moved, and he said secretly: Ordinary maids should not be able to eat such meals, unless they are some favored maids.

Thinking like this, he only ate half of the meal and said, "I'm full."

At this time, Xiao Zi also came to report: "Master Luo, the chief steward said that the master can go home to get his books, but he must come back before dark. Also, when the master comes back, he must enter the house through the back door. You need to Xiaotao is waiting at the back door, otherwise you won’t be able to get in.”

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said: "Thank you to the butler for me, then I will go back now."

Xiao Zi respectfully resigned.

Luo Qingfeng said to Xiao Tao on the side: "I'll be back in about an hour. You'll be waiting for me at the back door then. There's no need to go too early."

Xiaotao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Do you need a slave to accompany the young master home?"

Luo Qingfeng said: "No need."

After saying that, he went out and followed the route he came in, heading towards the back door.

At this time, Sister Nightingale and the others should be about to enter the mansion, or they are waiting outside, hoping to meet them.

Of course, even if he met someone, he would not come forward to say hello.

He just wanted to confirm whether the Demon Suppressing Institute had begun to pay attention to this case and whether it had sent more demon slayers.

After passing through the corridor courtyard and two gardens, he suddenly found that he was a little lost.

In front is a forest.

He remembered that when he came, he did not pass through such a large bamboo forest.

The bluestone road on the ground, the cobblestone path next to it, and even the rockery and flowing water not far away are all familiar, but if you look closely, it seems that they are not what you saw when you came here.

It must have gone astray.

When he was about to turn around and return, a maid in a green dress and a flower basket suddenly walked out of the bamboo forest. When she saw him, she asked softly: "Master, which courtyard are you from? Why are you here?" ?”

Luo Qingfeng quickly bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, miss. I'm the teacher hired by the housekeeper. I just came to the mansion today. I was about to go out through the back door and go home to pick up my books. But I forgot the way I came from, so I went the wrong way." ”

The maid smiled softly and said: "It turns out he is a teacher. This is the first time I have seen such a young teacher."

Then he said: "Sir, please come with me. I will take you out."

Luo Qingfeng quickly thanked him.

The maid smiled, turned around, and walked into the bamboo forest.

Luo Qingfeng paused and said, "Girl, I remember that I didn't seem to pass through the bamboo forest in front of me when I came here."

The maid turned her head, smiled sweetly, and said: "It's closer from here, just through the bamboo forest and an acre of flower beds."

Then he smiled and said: "Why, the young master can't trust my slave?"

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again before following her.

The maid waited for him to come closer, then she continued to walk forward and said, "My name is Alian. She is the maid who serves the fourth lady. There is a flower garden behind, so I pick flowers there. What is your name, sir?"

Luo Qingfeng said her name and looked at her a few more times.

This little maid has delicate skin, pretty appearance, and a small beauty mark on the corner of her mouth. She speaks softly and is extremely gentle.

The maids of wealthy families are indeed not bad at all.

"The young master must be very powerful, otherwise the chief steward would not agree to the young master staying to teach. After all, those old gentlemen made the master and his wife very angry. If we can't find a good teacher this time, the chief steward will not be able to agree to the young master's teaching. You’re going to be punished.”

Alian walked and said with a smile.

Passing through the bamboo forest, there is indeed a large flower garden in front of it, where flowers are in full bloom, vying for beauty, and it is so beautiful.

After entering the path in the middle of the flower garden, Alian stopped talking and began to walk faster.

Luo Qingfeng glanced ahead, but began to slow down.

"Girl, there seems to be no road ahead."

He stopped.

But the maid named Alian didn't seem to hear her and kept walking faster and faster. She quickly crossed the flower path and walked into a small wooden house in front.

Luo Qingfeng's star power surged within her body, her eyes looked in six directions, her ears listened in all directions, and she began to retreat slowly.

At this moment, two maids suddenly stood up in the flower garden on the right.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you here?"

The two maids asked with wary faces.

Luo Qingfeng turned to look, clenched his fists with both hands, stared at the two of them carefully for a few times, and said, "I am the new teacher recruited by the housekeeper. I was going to go out through the back door, but I lost my way for a moment. I met a girl leading the way, but ended up here.”

The two maids looked at each other.

One of them immediately said: "Stop lying! We just saw you walking in and out of the woods alone. How could anyone guide you? If you don't tell us the truth, we are going to call the guards!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingfeng's heart was shocked.
