27 is that you? !
Zhang Hanyue was displeased, "What happened to the guest room?! You can't even reply clearly, how can you be a clerk!"
The boy was too embarrassed to say anything after being scolded and just glanced at the maid beside her.
Zhang Hanyue frowned and motioned the maid to come over.
The servant leaned close to the maid's ear and whispered something.
He stopped talking, but the maid blushed, feeling extremely ashamed.
Then he said it again in his young lady's ear with embarrassment.
Zhang Hanyue was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Is it true?"
The servant replied, "It is absolutely true. I am afraid that many people have seen it by now!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hanyue was furious, "Why didn't you stop them?! Idiots!!"
The servant was embarrassed, "We dare not, it is Master Jiang who is leading the way."
Damn Jiang Xiao! !
It's him again!
Zhang Hanyue glared at the servant with hatred, "Take me to see it!" She turned around and forced a smile, "Everyone, enjoy the scenery here first. The koi was specially transported from Huaizhou."
Without waiting for anyone's response, he hurriedly followed the servant.
A group of rich young ladies looked at each other, wondering what had happened. But there are always people who want to watch the fun, so they urge everyone to go and take a look.
"I don't know what happened to make the eldest lady of the Zhang family look so unhappy. I really want to see what's going on." Yang Mingzhu was speaking. She always disliked Zhang Hanyue. Who was she showing her pretentious look to?
When I heard that Jiang Xiao was there, I knew it would be lively, and I became even more excited.
"Miss Yang, why don't we go take a look together? This capital is really boring. We need to pick some fresh fruits for everyone to relieve their boredom."
"Let's go! Let's go take a look together!" Yang Mingzhu waved her hand and everyone followed.
Xiao Tingyun was carried by Caixing and walked without direction, avoiding passers-by. Fortunately, he inhaled little and was just a little dizzy. Needless to say, Caixing had always been in better physical condition than ordinary people.
She patted Caixing's shoulder and said, "Put me down."
Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Xing put the person down and made her sit on the artificial rock, then helped her put on her shoes.
Unexpectedly, I was seen by an unexpected person.
It was the servant who had fallen before. That servant had a good memory.
He saw Xiao Tingyun at the first sight, and was a little surprised, "My lord! It's me!"
Hearing someone coming, Xiao Tingyun put his feet back under his clothes, turned his head and found it was him, "It's you! Why are you sitting under this tree?"
The servant was fined two months' salary by the steward and was also told not to go to the front hall again. Since he had nothing to do, he just wanted to hide there and cry.
Unexpectedly, I ran into the same lady as before, and she looked the same, so I asked kindly.
He still remembered that she asked him with concern whether he had fallen. He had never received such concern before. He had grown up without a father or mother and was used to being beaten and scolded.
It was the first time that I made a mistake and was not blamed but comforted instead.
"Nothing! I'm just taking a rest here. What happened to you, sir?" The servant didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and asked worriedly.
Cai Xing didn't trust anyone and watched his movements warily.
Instead, Xiao Tingyun thought about the situation in front of him, and then carefully looked at the person standing in front of him, and then asked softly, "Do you know of a secluded place nearby where I can rest? I sprained my foot and now I can't move around easily. I won't look well-groomed if I go out like this."
The servant was very happy to be asked, so he quickly thought about it again and again, "I thought of a place. It's nearby. It's an attic that no one has ever been to."
"Then please lead the way, thank you." Xiao Tingyun's eyes lit up and he said happily.
"It's no trouble, it's no trouble. I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't asked the steward not to make things difficult for me, I might have been beaten again today." The servant excitedly shared his good fortune today with Xiao Tingyun, and while speaking, he led people towards the attic.
Xiao Tingyun's smile fell after hearing this, and he asked softly, "Do you get beaten often?"
The servant was not very old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, skinny and small, but he looked very smart. He replied cheerfully, "I was often beaten when I was a child, but I'm much better after coming to the Taifu Mansion. As long as I don't make any mistakes, it's fine!"
Perhaps it was because the boy's smile was too sincere that it made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Where are your parents?" Xiao Tingyun asked.
The happy servant just now became lonely. "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have been begging outside. Later, I heard that the Taifu Mansion was short of workers, so I gave two cents to the kitchen mother and said that I would give her half a liang of silver from the work later. Then the kitchen mother brought me in."
At this point, the servant's eyes lit up again, and he said happily, "But I didn't sell my body. The mother wanted to coax me into giving her the seal, so I told her that I wanted to go out and get married and didn't want to stay here. The mother laughed at me!"
Xiao Tingyun and Cai Xing also laughed when they heard this.
The servant scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I can't save much money, how can I sell my body casually? I will have to stay here for the rest of my life, I don't want to! I like being outside, it's much more lively outside."
When the boy talked about the outside world, his face showed comfort and freedom, and his smile was particularly beautiful, just like the rising sun.
Xiao Tingyun sighed a little. He didn't understand freedom, but he had a free heart. He encouraged him, "You are already very capable. You are healthy and can go wherever you want. Although this mansion is rich, the filth inside is hard to guard against."
"Thank you, sir! I understand!" The servant was very embarrassed to express his thoughts for the first time, and was recognized by others. That feeling was great!
While he was talking, the servant had already taken the man to the attic, and indeed there was no one there.
"I heard from the higher-ups that this is an unused attic and they're planning to renovate it soon, so no one is coming here. You can go up and have a rest." The servant explained, fearing that she would dislike it.
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "Thank you very much. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"
"Zhuxi!" the servant said happily again, "My name is Zhuxi!"
"Your name is nice, thank you." Xiao Tingyun recited it silently and replied.
Xiao Tingyun asked him to ask her maid to come here, and asked Caixing to give him money. However, Zhuxi refused repeatedly and finally ran out.
This made Xiao Tingyun laugh and feel helpless.
The two went upstairs and found that the building was very quiet. Xiao Tingyun supported Caixing and walked forward carefully. Before they got close to the door, Caixing suddenly stopped and said, "There's someone inside!"
Xiao Tingyun was surprised. "Is there anyone?" She couldn't see anything outside the door. She was a little skeptical. "Are you sure?"
"Sure! There is more than one person!" Cai Xing looked solemn.
Xiao Tingyun thought about it and felt that it should be the guests attending the banquet who were here. After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to disturb others.
"Let's go." Xiao Tingyun whispered and pointed the way back.
"Squeak——" the door opened without any warning.
A slightly plump man with a smiling face walked out.
"It's you!" Xiao Tingyun was surprised!
