The screen exploded, and a petite figure was strangled by the neck.
Zu An frowned. He never expected that a little girl was hiding here. His voice was cold: "Who are you?"
The little girl blushed and patted his hand desperately to indicate that he was holding her too tightly.
Zu An didn't feel any vitality fluctuations from her body. He thought she must be an ordinary person, but he still didn't care. He just relaxed his hands slightly and said, "Say!"
"I...I am Hongzao." The little girl said with a cry.
"Red dates?" Zu An frowned, what a ridiculous name?
Seeing his frown, the little girl suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained: "I...I am the lady's maid."
Zu An was startled for a moment and then remembered that Pei Mianman had mentioned a little girl, and he snorted: "Then why are you hiding here so secretly?"
The little girl cried and said: "I...I didn't hide, I just helped the lady clean up the room in the room, and then...waited for the lady to come back, but the lady never came back, and I fell asleep in a daze. Later
……later……"
After speaking, he hesitated and said nothing for a long time.
"Then you saw me and your lady coming back, so you didn't dare to come out?" Zu An had a delicate heart and quickly guessed what was going on.
Most likely, when she saw Pei Mianman coming back with a strange man and being affectionate with him, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out to meet him.
Speaking of which, I was careless just now. I was immersed in talking about love with Pei Mianman, and I didn't expect that there was someone else in her boudoir.
"I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, don't kill me...wuwuwu..." Hongzao started to cry as he spoke.
Zu An has a black hair, this stupid girl, doesn't saying this mean to others that she has heard everything and seen everything?
Things are really troublesome now. If the other party is a boy, Daji can still rely on Daji to modify his memory; but if the other party is a little girl, there is really nothing that can be done.
He himself didn't care, but it was about Pei Mianman's reputation. Although the world was more open than in ancient times, there was a limit.
If a lady like Pei Mianman secretly has an affair with her foreign husband, it will be a huge scandal once word spreads.
Moreover, they are currently discussing a marriage with the Crown Prince of Qi. In order to prevent the family from being humiliated, the Pei family may even sink her into the river.
When he was hesitating, a nervous voice came: "They are all our own, Azu, please let her go."
There was a sound of footsteps, and Pei Mianman ran up from downstairs.
"But she was hiding here just now and saw and heard everything." Zu An said worriedly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Hongzao felt extremely wronged, could the lies I told be seen through so easily.
Although Zu An said this, he still let go of his hand. Hong Zao hurriedly hid behind Pei Mianman, covering his neck and coughing while secretly looking at him in fear.
Pei Mianman supported her and patted her back gently to comfort her, and then said to Zu An: "Hongzao and I depend on each other and have grown up together. She will not do anything wrong to me. I
Trust her."
The two are called master and servant, but they are actually sisters.
Zu An smiled: "That's just right. I'm in a dilemma."
"Look, you scared her." Pei Mianman glanced at him coquettishly.
Seeing that the little girl didn't dare to look at him, Zu An was also a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he took out a hairpin from the glazed orb and handed it to her: "I'm really sorry, I just scared you. I give this to you as apology."
As a gift."
Back then, there were many collections of jewelry like this in the Red Dragon Cave, and they were all shiny. The Red Dragon obviously liked them very much.
"This is too expensive, I can't have it..." Hong Zao moved his hands quickly and shook his head like a rattle.
"How can you give a girl a hairpin as soon as you meet her?" Pei Mianman rolled his eyes at Zu An angrily, but still comforted Hong Zao, "Since he gave it to you, just accept it."
Hearing what the young lady said, Hong Zao tremblingly accepted the gold hairpin, not daring to look at Zu An from the beginning to the end.
But when she got the hairpin in her hand and saw the exquisite and gorgeous decorations, she was suddenly stunned. Was such a beautiful gold hairpin really given to me?
I'm just a maid.
Is this valuable a betrothal gift for me?
It’s not surprising that she thinks this way, because she is the young lady’s first-in-law, and she will follow whoever the young lady marries.
On weekdays, not only do I have to serve the young lady, but I also need to serve the uncle for her when she is unwell, and at the same time, I need to help the young lady compete for favor with the women in other houses.
Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help but raise her head and peek at Zu An.
After all, this man is probably her future uncle and her master. The girl's instinct makes her at least see clearly what the other person looks like.
His white clothes are as beautiful as snow, his sword eyebrows are like ink, and his eyes are more beautiful than gems...
Looking at Hong Zao, I blushed. I thought that I was even more handsome than the Prince of Qi. Especially since he seemed to have an inexplicable calmness and cool temperament. I felt that he was more mature and more secure than the Prince of Qi.
a little.
"What's wrong with you, Hongzao?" At this time, Pei Mianman also noticed something strange about his little girl and asked strangely.
"Ah? No, it's nothing..." Hong Zao said in a panic, lowering his head to see his toes, but he seemed to have gained a little weight recently, and he couldn't even see his toes.
Pei Mianman just thought she was frightened and didn't think much about it: "Go and prepare hot water. Later I... ahem, I need to take a shower and change clothes."
"Yes!" Hongzao left in a hurry. When he went downstairs, he quietly looked back and saw that the man seemed to be smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly turned around to go downstairs. As a result, his foot slipped and he almost rolled down.
.
"You guy, you seduced my personal maid as soon as you came here." Pei Mianman said angrily, but he was not really angry. Hong Zao was originally her first-in-law girl, so how could he be jealous of her, "Chaizi
Is it possible to give something like this to your daughter’s house casually?”
"I couldn't find any other gifts at the moment," Zu An explained. "I scared her just now. I just did this to get closer to her so as not to leave a bad impression on her."
"She and I are like sisters, so there's no need for you to win her over by giving her gifts." Pei Mianman snorted.
"You don't understand this. She has a good relationship with you, but she didn't know about me before. What if I offend her and she talks bad about me around you every day? What will you do if you talk about me?
Bones are broken."
Zu An thought about the time in his previous life when many buddies were chasing girls. If a girl had a few best friends who didn't like him and said bad things behind his back every day, even if the two of them had feelings for each other, they would most likely be cheated on in the end. With so many seniors learning from his mistakes, he naturally didn't want to
Make the same mistake.
"You think too much. If she dares to say bad things about you, I'll beat her up." Pei Mianman raised his fist and said with a groan.
Zu An laughed and held her in his arms: "My Manman is still the best."
Pei Mianman also snuggled into his arms docilely. The man and woman in love wished they could spend every moment together.
"Miss..." At this time, Hong Zao's timid voice came. She also looked at Zu An, but she didn't know how to address her.
Pei Mianman smiled and said, "You can just call him uncle from now on."
"Yes, aunt... uncle~" Hong Zao secretly smacked her tongue, thinking that the master and his wife probably don't know yet. The young lady is really brave. Looking at them like this, it seems that they have made a private decision for life.
"The hot water is ready. Let me take a bath, Miss."
"No need, just get your clothes ready, and then go and rest by yourself." Pei Mianman said with a blushing face.
"Ah? Oh..." Hong Zao glanced at the two of them strangely. Are they planning to wash together?
After she left, Zu An couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you, this maid, look a little dull?"
"She is naturally timid and has a weak temper, otherwise she would not have been arranged to come to my place in the first place." Pei Mianman's eyes showed a bit of pity, "You are not allowed to bully her in the future."
"Am I the kind of guy who loves to bully others?"
"Don't touch me, go wash up first."
"???"
"You just went to the cemetery to dig a grave. You are not allowed to touch me unless you wash it."
"But I washed in the river before."
"I haven't washed myself yet."
"..."
Seeing that Pei Mianman had gone downstairs first, Zu An suddenly realized, Yuanyang, isn't the bath fragrant? Why should I refuse?
Soon the water was rippling and the mist was thick, like the spring breeze blowing the willows, and like the smoke waves burying their heads...
Hongzao did not go to rest, but stayed by the door. As the lady's personal maid, she naturally had to consider all aspects for the lady.
If someone from the house comes over and bumps into her at this time, the lady will be doomed.
So she kept her spirits up and listened in all directions.
But now it's snowing heavily and it's night again, so no one in the house will come over at this time.
It was so quiet around that you could even hear the snow falling.
But what she heard more at this time was the laughter and laughter coming from behind the screen. The waves of affection made her blush.
"Miss... Miss, why are you like this..." She subconsciously wanted to cover her ears, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to hear the sound of people approaching from outside, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
"I'm still a child~"
Hong Zao muttered that although she was old enough to get married, her mentality had not completely changed yet.
Momo took out the golden hairpin that Zu An had just given her, her pretty face gradually became redder and redder, and she felt as if she had been soaked by a steady spring rain.
She didn't know how long it took, but she suddenly remembered something, hurried to her room and took out a large food box.
During these days, Prince Qi would send cakes to the lady in different ways almost every day. The lady didn't even look at them, and just gave them to her.
Naturally, she ate very happily. How could she have the opportunity to eat so many expensive snacks on weekdays?
Over the past few days, she felt that she had gained a lot of weight and her clothes were a little tight in front.
But just now the young lady confirmed her future uncle, who also gave her such a precious gift. He is handsome and has good physical strength...
Bah bah bah, what am I thinking about.
Now that I have confirmed my uncle, I can no longer ask for things given by other men.
Looking at the dazzling array of pastries inside, she couldn't help but swallow, with some reluctance in her eyes, but in the end she bit her lip and poured out all the pastries in the food box.
Returning to the house again, looking at the screen behind her, she sighed and thought, "Isn't it over yet?"
I really want to take a bath too...
