Soft-waisted little maid

As soon as they arrived in Shuangcheng, they saw Xue Ke standing at the door of her room with a troubled expression, holding something wrapped in a handkerchief. I guess it was the flower tincture.

With a happy face on her face, she stepped forward and said, "Hey, my sister is back?"

"Sister Shuangcheng, this flower--" Xue Ke's expression was visibly troubled. Just as he was about to speak, he was blocked by Shuangcheng. "What's wrong with this flower? Is there anything?" After that, he said, He took the hairpin from her hand and tied it on his head.Two eyes squinted at her with a threatening expression.

"It's nothing." Xue Ke didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and left.

Shuangcheng let out a cold snort from his swollen nose.

With such a pustular temperament, if the third young master and Liu Zhu hadn't been protecting her at that time, she would have squeezed her out long ago. Why wait until now?

That's fine, you can earn two taels of silver in vain.

Just when she was feeling complacent, a servant in gray clothes hurriedly walked up to her and said hello.

"Girl from Shuangcheng, there is someone looking for you outside the door."

"Looking for me? Who is it?" Shuangcheng was puzzled. Her relatives were all in her hometown in Ninghai County next door. It was unlikely that her alcoholic father had lost all his money and came looking for her, right?
She looked nervous: "Male or female? What do they look like?"

The servant recalled something, and then said: "He is a man, he looks about 20 years old at the end of the month. I have never seen him before, but he is good-looking, don't tell me. He just stood at the door for a while, and he was already There are several girls gathered in front of our house and they can’t even walk."

Shuangcheng was stunned for a moment.

Who is this person? Or is he here to find him?

Although she couldn't figure out the current situation, she couldn't help but look forward to whether a romantic encounter would happen to her.She has now reached the age where she has to get married. The second mistress made the decision for her a while ago and wanted to choose Zhang Song, the youngest son of Aunt Qiu in the fifth girl's yard. She had met that man once and he had no other features except that he was taller. There are other advantages, but this is the master's decision, and she has no room to resist.

Originally, she wanted to use some means to become his person after the third young master's autumn, but it seems that the second mistress's current intention is to marry off all the older girls in the yard before the third young master returns to Mingzhou.

That girl Xiaoyu is better off.

After thinking about it like this, I arrived at the concierge in a blink of an eye.

She looked in the direction pointed by the servant who was leading the way, and saw a tall, handsome young man standing by the side door.He was wearing an ink-colored sparrow-woven gold round-neck robe, holding a gold-lacquered black bone fan, his hair stood up high, and he wore a jade hairpin at an angle. He had a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, with the ends of his eyes raised upward. He saw Shuangcheng coming towards here. His eyebrows raised.

When Shuangcheng saw him looking at her, she felt her heart beating wildly, and her cheeks on both sides were blushing. She walked up to the man with tiny steps, and with a delicate touch, she said softly: " Young Master, what do you want to do with your slave?"

The other party's phoenix eyes looked her over from top to bottom, then flicked the fan, revealing a black fan painted with gold paint: "Are you Shuangcheng?"

"Exactly." Shuangcheng was so fascinated by his pair of peach blossom eyes that he felt that all the women passing by the door were casting envious glances at her.

"That's good." The man smiled, put away the fan, and tapped it on the palm of his hand with the fan handle. His expression immediately changed, and his voice immediately became colder, and he said, "Young lady owes Cai Feng Fei some money. I'm sorry for bothering you today." Let’s settle the bill.”

"Ah?" Shuangcheng was dumbfounded.

This person turned out to be Zheng Lanshi?She had only heard about him in the past, and they said that he was a magical person who never saw his end. There were only some rumors about him, and she had never seen him in person. How could he come to her door today.

She immediately realized that Xue Ke had just deliberately pretended to be cheated in front of her, so that she would take it lightly. But Cai Fengfei always set prices without regrets and did not accept credit.

I don't have time to think about it so much.

Originally, this Zheng Lanshi was eye-catching, but now passers-by saw that there seemed to be a quarrel here, and they all gathered around her. Not only that, even the servants at the concierge were passing by in a pretentious manner, all with their heads crossed. It's quite lively for ears.

Shuangcheng's face turned red and white. She didn't expect that this girl would still be able to act. She hurriedly said: "I don't know you. How can you say that I owe you before you ask someone from your store to confront me?" ——”

"But what the girl is wearing on her head, isn't it our Cai Feng Fei's flower brocade?" Zheng Lanshi pointed lightly with her fan to the bright gilt ornament in her hair.The onlookers immediately whispered to each other and talked about it, and it seemed that the matter had been concluded.

Shuangcheng subconsciously raised his hand to cover it up, but quickly put it down again.

She had just thought that a handsome young man would come to find her, so she happened to have not taken off the flower flower. However, she was not in a hurry and came up with the excuse she had prepared early in the morning: "Boss Zheng, I didn't go to your store today. I spent five taels of silver on this flower mother-of-pearl and asked one of my sisters to buy it from your store. I wonder if she did something in it that caused a misunderstanding between us."

She has been with the Second Mistress for such a long time, and she is considered a good actor. This sincere expression, and the way she wiped away her tears in a hurry, caused the public opinion to change immediately, and they suddenly began to accuse the little sister she talked about.
Shuangcheng felt a little proud, and while wiping away his tears insincerely, he peeked at Zheng Lanshi's reaction.

But the other party tilted his head casually, as if he was watching her performance quietly, and was not affected by the voices of the people around him. Then he said in an extremely nonchalant tone: "Have you cried enough?"

Shuangcheng was stunned.

"What's your situation, and what does it have to do with me?" Zheng Lanshi seemed to be quite confused in his tone, "The flower is on your head, and I, Caifengfei, still owe money on my account, so you have to take out the money to repay. I, girl, do you think that if you cry, Mr. Zheng will pity you and let you go, or find someone to stand up for you and settle the score with the person you talk about? "

Zheng Lanshi raised the corners of her lips and smiled disdainfully: "If you think so, miss, are you thinking too highly of yourself?"

Shuangcheng froze there. She looked at the burning eyes of everyone around her and was speechless for a moment.

On the other side, Xue Ke was hiding behind Sun Zhilu. The two of them stood behind the stone lion outside the small door of the East Mansion and watched the scene secretly. Xue Ke silently let out a "tsk".

"How about Master Zheng and you can play together? We both have the same evil spirit."

Sun Zhilu gave her a sharp look: "I'm here to save you. I advise you to be polite when you speak."
