White moonlight dressed as a traitor

Chapter 32

"Guan Xiao, I've been waiting for an hour, why hasn't Miss come?" the old servant couldn't help asking the middle-aged man beside him.

The man was dressed in gray silk, had a Chinese character face, had a long beard, and his eyes shone brightly. Hearing what the old servant said, he turned and looked at the dozen or so servants behind him, and said helplessly, "I don't know either. Madam said in the letter It was yesterday, but we waited for a whole day yesterday and didn't see anyone, so I don't know if we missed it again today? After all, the young lady is young, maybe she was fascinated by the scenery on the way, and there is a lot of delay."

Someone couldn't help asking: "Housekeeper Xiao, how is that lady's temper? But easy to get along with?"

Guanshi Xiao sighed, "Madam is the master, and I am just a slave like you, how dare I ask Miss? But considering Miss's temper, I think she is as kind-hearted as Madam."

As soon as these words came out, everyone had their own thoughts.Although I don't know, although my wife is kind-hearted, she is also very clear about rewards and punishments, and will never show mercy.

One of them, a man of medium build and ordinary appearance, said flatteringly: "Although the young lady is the master, but these years, Steward Xiao has been in charge of the management. It can be said that he has worked hard. Otherwise, which one of our Zhuangzi will not be more valued by the Zhuanghu? If the young lady is not With that talent, I will not obey if you manage things carelessly. Everyone has received so many favors from the stewards over the years, how can there be no reason to repay the kindness? Everyone, am I right?"

This coaxing, the servants shouted one by one.

"It is! It is!"

Standing at the end was a young man with a thin body and handsome facial features, looking at him coldly, like an outsider.

Guanshi Xiao's mouth was modest, but his eyes revealed a look of complacency.

"Miss, do you think that is our Zhuangzi? There are still a group of people waiting there." Cuiping opened the curtain, and pointed excitedly at the group of Guanshi Xiao at the intersection.

"That's it." Uncle Yuan said with a smile, "I came here with my wife once this year. That kid is not that old yet."

Fu Shu followed Uncle Yuan's line of sight, just in time to see a group of Guanshi Xiao, her eyes stopped on Guanshi Xiao, recalled the person Zhang described, and asked: "The person Uncle Yuan mentioned is Guanshi Xiao, the leader? "

Uncle Yuan nodded, and thoughtful eyes flashed through the vicissitudes of life, "Did Madam say anything about him?"

Uncle Yuan felt to Fu Shu like a wise elder who could overcome all difficulties for her at critical moments, so he would naturally have a reason for accepting Yang Qian.

"Mother said that Xiao Guan's ability and character have been good all these years, and all kinds of advantages need to be learned a lot." As for the matter of distant relative Fu Li, it's better not to say anything.Fu Shu thought, even Cuiping and Cuilu didn't know about this matter.

Uncle Yuan smiled, "That's true. With Miss's talent, how can she be trapped with the little Zhuangzi?"

"Uncle Yuan is joking, how can I be so powerful?" Fu Shu said, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the village.

Guanshi Xiao recognized Uncle Yuan, quickly led all the servants to the front, and said politely to Uncle Yuan, "Uncle Yuan, is there a young lady?"

Uncle Yuan didn't answer.

Guanshi Xiao looked at it, and a pair of slender hands lifted the curtain of the car, and the first thing that came out was a maid with a handsome appearance.

The maid said: "Miss, slow down."

Soon, a white and slender hand appeared. The slender hand was even whiter than the cuffs of the snow clothes.

In a flash, a girl with a slender figure wearing a veil and only a pair of watery apricot black pupils got off the carriage with the help of a maid.

His eyes are calm, his manner is elegant, and he has a submissive demeanor.

Officer Xiao regained his composure, and knew that this was the young lady, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Miss is well, my servant Xiao Xian has been waiting for you for a long time."

Humility and courtesy, but also decisive and calm, he really is the manager Xiao in Zhang's mouth.

Fu Shu said with a smile: "Don't be too polite. I often hear my mother mentioning you, saying that you are quite talented, humble and low-key, and let me learn a lot from you."

A smugness flashed in Guanshi Xiao's eyes, and he quickly concealed it, but his face was even more humble, with a flattered look on his face.

"Miss Miao praised, how can I be a slave?" After finishing speaking, he sternly said to the servants, "Miss has come from a long way this time, and you have taken care of me carefully! If Miss is not satisfied at all, don't worry about Xiao being rude! "

"Slaves must do their best."

"Slaves must do their best."

Guanshi Xiao turned around and said to Fu Shu: "Miss, if the servant is not considerate, please tell the servant to the servant, the servant must teach me a lesson!"

The smile in Fu Shu's eyes faded a little, "Then thank you Guanshi Xiao."

"This is the duty of a slave."

"Miss, this way please." The servant girl led Fu Shu's master and servant to the courtyard that had already been arranged.

Fu Shu looked around, the yard was tidy and the house was well furnished and elegant. Opening the window lattice, the spring breeze sent wisps of fragrance, which was very pleasant to smell.

Outside the window, the garden is full of spring, especially the pansy, which is purple, white and yellow, fluttering in the wind, adding a bit of beauty.

Suddenly a figure appeared among the flowers.

Dressed in green clothes, holding a delicately woven flower basket in his hand, a pair of plain hands are picking flowers with great interest.

Although the front face is not visible, the back is slender, and a dark green belt is pinned around the waist, stretching out the slender waist, giving people the illusion of a fairy among flowers.

"Who is that girl?" Fu Shu asked curiously, that girl was not dressed as a maid at home, and her clothes were made of satin that ordinary people couldn't wear.If you talk about Miss, besides her, is there anyone else in Zhuangzi?

The servant girl replied: "Miss Hui, this is Miss Yi Ning, the daughter of Guanshi Xiao. Miss Yi Ning is ingenious and handy, and she is even better at gardening. She takes care of the flowers and plants in our village."

A trace of deep thought flashed across Fu Shu's eyes, and she said casually, "Then why didn't you see her just now?"

"Miss Yi Ning said that she would weave a flower basket for the young lady herself, pick some fresh flowers for the young lady, and decorate the house with anger. But she didn't know when the young lady would arrive, and she was afraid that if she picked it early, she would lose her anger and be unworthy of the young lady. So as soon as I heard Miss came, I didn't care to greet Miss, and hurried to the yard to pick fresh food." While speaking, the servant girl gave Fu Shu a careful look.

Fu Shu saw the other party's actions in her eyes, and said with a smile: "She really has a heart."

Seeing that Fu Shu didn't intend to blame her, the servant girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's your name? You're smart, I like it." Fu Shu looked at the maid softly with her watery eyes.

The servant girl was overwhelmed with flattery, and hurriedly said: "My maidservant's name is Huilian."

"Hui Lian, that's a good name. She has a bright personality and a kind heart like a lotus. Your parents really have high hopes for her."

Hui Lian blushed when she was praised, "Miss, you are joking, the servants' family is poor, and there are many sisters in the family. As a last resort, the parents sold the servants here. But Manager Xiao treated us very well, especially the madam, who is so kind. .”

"Guan Xiao is indeed a nice person. But you are also nice, careful in doing things. There are few maids in my mansion like you, especially Cuiping, who are noisy all day long. If I have your patience, I will save a lot of worry."

Cuiping was tidying up in the back room. Hearing Fu Shu comparing her with others, she looked annoyed, and said in disbelief, "Miss, how can you say that about your servant? The servant admits that you talk a little too much, but the word "sincerity" does not exist in this world. Compared with slaves."

Fu Shu laughed lightly, and said angrily, "You're the only one who talks too much. How did others say anything about you? Well, Miss understands in her heart, pack up quickly."

Then he took out a pair of pearl earrings from the dowry drawer, and whispered to Huilian, "This is my reward, and I will definitely treat you well if I work hard in the future."

Hui Lian stared at the pair of shining earrings, she knew the color was excellent, her eyes were full of surprise, "Thank you miss, I will definitely do things for you in the future."

"Well. It's just that I only give you one person. Don't talk about it and say that I favor one person over another."

After taking Fu Shu's hand, Huilian happily responded and said goodbye and left.

Fu Shu looked at the other party's cheerful back with deep thought.
