Chapter 3(1/2)
After watching the lotus pond in the middle of the night for a long time, he was a little scared. Liu Anan hugged her knees hungryly and squatted by the pond for more than half an hour, but she didn't wait for Miss Ma.
The cold wind does not blow people, but she is good at fantasy. When she listens to the whimpering night wind, she always feels that there is a female ghost in white clothes floating behind her back, which really can't stand it. She comes and goes back with her cloak.
At night, I went to the pool to have a breeze. The next day, Liu Anan became a little hot. She lay in a blanket for a day and poured a bowl of ginger soup.
It would be fine if Miss Ma didn’t go, but she didn’t send someone to tell her a letter?
After not waiting for Miss Ma to come for two or three days, Liu Anan asked the maid to ask.
But in half an hour, the maid came back.
It was sunny outside. When the maid came back, she was cold all over and had no blood on her face. When she came back, her legs became weak and she knelt directly on the ground.
"Miss Ma, Miss Ma is not...none."
Liu Anan also chose a new golden hairpin and planned to send it to Miss Ma. After hearing this, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and turned around in surprise.
"What does it mean to be gone?"
"Just... that's..." The maid was cold all over when she thought of the situation she asked about.
"I heard that Miss Ma did something irregular, and just happened to hit the noble man. The master and the maid... are not here anymore."
The maid didn't dare to say it in more detail, for fear of scaring Liu An'an.
When she went to ask about the situation, Miss Ma's yard had been cleaned up, and the servants in the mansion could not say anything, but the maid of the Tongzong girl was there and told her quietly.
After doing something that he couldn't get on the table, he happened to meet a noble man. The noble man seemed to have a gloomy personality, and the master and servant did not come back that night. The judge sent someone to inquire, but the Ma family did not receive the girl, suspected that Miss Ma's master and servant had died.
She knew this kind of thing so scared that she could not tell her how to tell Liu Anan a girl in the boudoir. She just forced herself to say, "It seems that she was released from the house."
After hearing this, Liu Anan felt a little regretful. He also understood that Miss Ma did not come to the appointment a few nights ago.
"I can go out tomorrow if I do this. I will find out where her home is. We will also go to see her."
"This place is so dangerous. She only saved me a few times and is a good person." Liu Anan said confidently.
The maid has nothing to say.
The only good girl, Ma, quietly disappeared from the back house of Yang's mansion. In a blink of an eye, there were only three people left here.
The legitimate daughter of the Zhou senator family relied on her identity, and the concubine of the Zheng senator did not have so many concerns and came to knock on Liu An'an's door openly.
Three of them were left with thirteen people. Liu Anan was already timid and even scared herself to the point of thinking. She felt that as soon as the door opened, she would be waiting for her with dangerous swords and guns. It would be better to just call her sick and avoid it.
Just as the manager of the Yang family came to ask, Liu Anan coughed a few times in order to pretend to be like him.
For lunch in the afternoon, five maids were sent to the kitchen and set up five small tables in the living room.
Every small table is filled with plates.
There are fish with various cooking techniques inside.
A brief look at it, there are more than a dozen types.
"I heard that Miss Liu was infected with the cold wind. The master said that eating some fish during the illness will heal quickly. Please use it slowly," the manager said.
Liu Anan recalled his years of life experience and asked carefully: "Why does this statement still exist? I have never heard of it in the past?"
The manager smiled kindly: "Maybe the habits of one place and another place are different."
"So that's it." Liu Anan suddenly realized and accepted this statement without any obstacles.
Liu Anan knelt on the brown mat and bit the chopsticks. The dozen different kinds of fish cooked in front of him seemed to have a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor, but there was really only fish. There was no side dishes and staple food.
Is it a bit too embarrassing for her tongue to eat only fish?
Liu Anan felt that the Yang family would not come to harm her. The fish sent by the manager must be fine, but how to eat it is a problem.
She had completely forgotten the freedom and delusions she had at the fish pond late at night two days ago.
Liu Anan chose some light and easy to eat on the small table. Even so, eating only fish is really hard to swallow. Half of the small table has not been eaten, and Liu Anan could no longer swallow it while biting the chopsticks.
She just put down her chopsticks and lowered her hands to accompany the manager standing beside her reminded: "Miss Liu, you have to finish all these."
Liu Anan was shocked.
Have more than a dozen plates of fish eaten?
Liu Anan blinked his eyes, wondering what the Yang family meant. She grunted for a long time: "...Then, there is no limited time, right?"
The manager smiled.
Miss Liu really agreed? She had no complaints at all? She didn't question it? She couldn't even use it if she prepared.
"...There is no time requirement, just try to finish the meal."
That's good.
Liu Anan breathed a sigh of relief and asked the maid to collect all the remaining fish.
She has not been involved in meat for many days and dared not eat food that has been handed over by others. The Yang family manager sent it personally, which is her reserve grain.
The manager was silent for a long time and thoughtfully sent a portion of ice, which frozen all the fish.
Later, the servant came to report and said that it was Miss Liu who secretly asked the maid to go to the kitchen to touch a few steamed buns, and each meal was eaten with the fish. The master and servant had five meals a day, and within two days, they ate all the dozen plates of fish while they were fresh.
When the person in charge said that, the young master of Yang's family, who was sitting in the robin chair, smiled stiffly. He didn't dare to look at his master, for fear that his master would be dissatisfied and even he would lose his life.
He smiled through a screen: "This is a timid and honest person."
The desperate master suddenly ordered a dozen plates of fish to a beauty to be chosen, and asked him to eat them all. Young Master Yang's cold sweat fell, thinking that the master either wanted to hold the girl alive, or waited for the girl to raise her hand and deal with it. Unexpectedly, the girl was timid and dared not to stop eating. She was a little clever and divided into two days. She said that she was still honest and said that she had eaten all the food, but she didn't dare to leave it.
"Master, you are not fussy and ignorant. Now there are only three left. Quiet, sensible and regular. Why don't you give me some favors and call me to serve me?"
Young Master Yang smiled so hard that he thought he was a brothel madam and tried his best to promote the girl in his hands.
The master came out in a hurry and didn't even take a maid. There was always someone to do what he served. When this errand fell on him, he had made careful preparations and chose these rules to serve him. Maybe it would be useful.
Chu Yu did not comment.
The Yang family sent three nannies, which looked very regular and gave them to the last three girls, following the rules one by one.
Liu Anan was born in the royal palace since childhood. He didn't say anything else, but kept these rules in mind. After the nanny taught her, she stopped guiding her.
Three days later, Yang's mansion brought a brand new dress.
When he was out, Liu Anan had forgotten his identity as a filial piety. He asked the maid to change into Yunxia's pink dress for her. His long black hair was tied with a lily bun, and only a pink and white velvet flower hairpin was paired with it.
When they left the house, the concubine's daughter of the Tongzong Mansion and the legitimate daughter of the Zhouzong Mansion were dressed the same. The three of them gathered in the atrium to greet each other.
The two ladies from the official family smiled and spoke very calmly, with a hint of desire in their eyes.
Liu Anan was cowardly, and every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife.
I'm going to meet that person.
I'm going to go to the tyrant.
Definitely going to die.
Is the tyrant ten feet tall and extremely powerful? Will her neck be twisted off after meeting her?
Will the soul be detained in the Yang Mansion yard forever if he dies in a foreign land?
Liu Anan thought about his various deaths all the way, and his back felt cold and his legs were so weak that he walked lightly.
The Yang Mansion was very big. From the small courtyard where Liu An'an and the others lived, they walked out of two doors along the stone road before reaching the front yard. The exits of the front yard were guarded by uniform servants. These people looked different from the servants of the Yang Mansion and then let them go.
Liu Anan looked at it and was somewhat similar to the soldiers who happened to be seen in the palace. He just looked at it quickly, didn't dare to look at it anymore, and passed by with his head buried.
As we got closer, the sound of the orchestras and bamboos in front became clearer.
Staying under the steps, Liu An'an's heartbeat was thumping loudly, and the closer he got, the harder he could breathe.
The two doors were pushed open by the maid, and a white-faced boy came to lead the way.
"Girls, please know what they are here to do, so you can pay attention to it later."
The legitimate daughter of the State Judicial Palace ranked first without any trace, and followed the man with a pink skirt first, and could see her excitement.
The concubine of the Tongzong Mansion was not willing to be outdone. Although she was half a step behind, she forced herself to push forward and side by side with her.
Liu Anan just wished he could retreat a thousand miles away, half-hung his head, clenched his sleeves with both hands, and every step he took was slow and broken.
Don't be too active when you die.
Liu Anan comforted himself in his heart.
Although you die early and get reborn early, you can live for one more moment.
After entering the door, Liu Anan did not dare to look around. Under the command of the manager, he knelt on the palm mat in the hall with two other girls. Liu Anan was one step behind, just kneeling behind them. She was already weak and when she lay down respectfully, she completely blocked the strictness.
Liu Anan didn't dare to move, and lowered his eyes. From the corner of his eyes, he could only see the hem of the clothes of the people present at the banquet on both sides of the left and right.
The silk and bamboo are leisurely, and the huge hall is so quiet that it is scary.
"Master, it's not very convenient for you to have no one to serve you. I'm so brave and choose these well-behaved and sensible people for you. Do you think it's useful?"
A young man's voice sounded in the hall, respectful and obedient, and cautious in flattery.
Owner.
It must be that tyrant.
