Zheng Qing was naturally no more rude than a little fox. He hesitated for a few seconds, and before crossing the stream and entering Courtyard No. 54, he casually exchanged greetings with Su Ya in the stream:
"Good evening!"
Su Ya held her waist and stood upright in the stream, letting the clear water flow through her legs. She just raised her head and glanced sideways at the young public-funded student, and replied stiffly: "Not good."
The smile on Zheng Qing's face was slightly stiff.
The words caught him a little off guard.
But immediately, he thought of a gentle way to say it: "Hmm... are you busy?"
"Are you blind? Am I washing my feet in the stream at night?"
After the little fox girl finished complaining, she lowered her head and pretended to be quiet, but murmured very clearly: "I really don't know why Miss let this kind of scum come to the mansion... I have to stay up late at night to clean the floor again... a waste of lamp oil."
Zheng Qing stopped.
He must prove that he is not a scumbag.
"Stay up late at night mopping the floor?"
The young public-sponsored student glanced at the fence - it was good, there was no one - and then made a look of indignation: "It is wrong to hire child labor, and you are made to work so hard! I will definitely report this situation to the relevant departments...
...Isn’t the Beta Town Management Committee engaged in ‘Operation Thunder’ recently? They shouldn’t turn a blind eye to this kind of thing!”
The little fox girl opened her eyes wide and looked at the wizard's righteous words, and her ears stood up in surprise.
After a long while, she said calmly: "Actually, it's not that troublesome... As long as you don't enter the hall, I won't have to mop the floor again."
Zheng Qing also wanted to chat a few more words. Why was Su Shijun doing this trick from the little fox girl? Why did he call him over? Suddenly, a gentle scolding sounded in Leng Buding's ears: "Su Ya!"
Looking back, Su Man, the head maid of Qingqiu Mansion, was standing at the door of Courtyard No. 54, looking sternly at the 'lazy' little fox girl.
Su Ya pursed her lips, then obediently bent down and started searching in the water again.
Su Man then turned around, looked at Zheng Qing, and smiled gently: "I'm sorry, Xiaoya has been out for too long and hasn't learned the rules very well... She didn't say anything rude."
Naturally, Zheng Qing would not act like a villain at this time.
"No, no, not at all," the young public-funded student waved his hands repeatedly, showing a slightly restrained look: "I just said hello to Su Ya with Poseidon... What was she doing in the stream at night?
"
While he was talking, he had already followed the head maid into the fence.
Poseidon shook his tail lazily, backing up the wizard's words.
Su Man nodded slightly to Poseidon, then sighed softly, with a rare trace of sadness on her face: "I wonder who lied to her that there are gods in the stream in front of the mansion. If you throw a copper in, the water god will return a handful of gold.
Beans...Then the little fool smashed his own piggy and threw all the coins he had saved into the water."
Having said this, Su Man looked back at the little figure outside the fence who was diligently fishing for money in the water, and shook her head again: "...The lady said that in order for her to improve her memory, she is not allowed to use magic, and no other people are allowed to help.
, so she started picking up coins after dinner and has been picking up coins until now."
This is really a tragic story that makes people cry. Even Zheng Qing couldn't help but feel a little pity for the little fox girl - this melon boy was too miserable.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the little fox in his arms was trembling slightly after hearing this story, as if he was suppressing a smile.
But when he lowered his head and looked carefully, the little fox closed his eyes, curled his tail, and looked like he was taking a nap.
"Really... I still need to study harder."
The wizard thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of an appropriate answer. While patting himself on the back, he asked casually: "By the way, what does Congressman Su want from me?"
The head maid was not Su Ya, and she was not fooled by the wizard's simple method. She just smiled implicitly: "The lady is inside."
Zheng Qing was not disappointed. He did not expect to find any secrets from the maid.
Several small figures ran past the wizard's feet in a flash, laughing and playing, leaving behind them a shower of tiny light spots, interrupting the wizard's steps and thoughts.
He looked closely and saw a group of flower sperm.
Although it has turned cold in late autumn, it is not surprising that the garden is still lush. When Zheng Qing came to the mansion last winter, it was freezing outside, but the garden was still as warm as spring, with flowers blooming. But compared with winter,
, this season's flower sperm and grass sperm are obviously living a more comfortable life. They wear dresses woven with petals and young leaves, hide behind large and small flowers and bushes, and look at the people passing by the garden with their bright eyes.
Guests, the laughter is subtle and cheerful.
"That's great." The wizard said from the bottom of his heart.
"right!"
Contrary to Zheng Qing's expectation, the head maid was extremely impressed by his simple compliment, and her eyes narrowed when she smiled: "The garden of our mansion is the best in the entire Phuket Island! This is because in winter,
We are willing to spend honey and dew to support the flower sperm, and then the flower sperm will do their best to take care of the flowers in the garden."
"Excellent positive feedback." The wizard continued to praise.
Many times, subtle deadlocks are resolved through such simple and direct methods.
The head maid took a careful look at Zheng Qing, and before leading him into the attic with red tiles and white walls and flying swallow ridges, she reminded him in an inaudible voice: "Young lady is here to receive guests, so don't be nervous."
Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the good intention of the head maid - Su Shijun called him here today, not to cause trouble for him.
This made him breathe a huge sigh of relief and looked over gratefully.
However, Su Man didn't seem to notice the wizard's gaze. She walked slowly in front of her, leading the wizard through the winding corridor and the main hall, and came to a flower hall on the side.
The flower hall is small and very warmly decorated. There are large windows on the front, facing the mansion garden. The colorful flowers in the garden are clearly reflected in the eyes of everyone in the hall, giving people a wonderful impression of being inside.
There are tall bookshelves on both sides, with a small coffee table and several plain futon-like cushions placed next to them. They are thick and bulging, giving people an unusually comfortable feeling.
Zheng Qing always felt that those futons looked more like cat nests than cushions.
At this moment, the owner of Qingqiu Mansion was curled up and sitting on one of the cushions, holding a small tea cup in his hand and sipping the tea in the cup.
Next to her sat the guest the head maid just mentioned.
He is also an acquaintance of Zheng Qing.
The spiritual leader of the wizards in the North District, Senior Sister Kolma, who also rose to the rank of Grand Wizard at a young age.
