It is rare to have such an opportunity, and Zhao Rong certainly does not want others to see him sneaking out. If his mother finds out about this, it will inevitably require a lot of lectures, so Zhao Rong carefully walked to a part of the small courtyard without anyone noticing.
This is also thanks to the fact that when he was a child, he had a clear understanding of the situation in every corner of the house.
Zhao Rong easily climbed over the courtyard wall. He sat on the courtyard wall and observed for a long time. He was worried that there were other maids walking around in the courtyard and he would be discovered by others. However, after watching for a while, he discovered that
The small courtyard was deserted, not even a maid.
At that time, Zhao Rong was still glad that he was lucky today and didn't feel anything unusual. He carefully got down from the courtyard wall and walked quietly to the window of the main room.
Although he was very familiar with the houses in this courtyard, he didn't know which room his cousin lived in. Besides, his cousin was a girl after all, and Zhao Rong originally just wanted to see her from a distance through the window.
I took a quick look to see how my cousin was doing, but I didn't think about breaking into the lady's boudoir.
But when he approached the window of the main room, what came from inside was the sound of low crying. At that time, Zhao Rong was stunned. After only hearing the sound a few times, he could already tell that it was crying.
It was her distant cousin.
I just don't know why, she was crying so sadly when she was sick. Moreover, there was no maid waiting in the yard. Only then did Zhao Rong realize that something was wrong.
When he heard the suppressed crying, Zhao Rong was stunned. He had the urge to turn around and leave immediately. In fact, when he was a child, Zhao Rong was an innocent little guy, and he was even said to be very curious.
Although he has never gone out and doesn't know what the outside world is like, he has a lot of questions running around in his little head all day long.
It may also be because when he was young, there was no one to restrain him, so Zhao Rong liked to inquire about all kinds of things that he didn't know since he was a child. He was also very good at observing everyone's different expressions, and was often able to tell the truth straight to the point.
the essence of.
According to Zhao Rong's original trajectory, he should have grown into a smart and clever person. But the problem came from his parents' education. They blindly forced him to obey and suppressed his natural curiosity.
On the one hand, Zhao Rong gradually cared about others besides himself.
When he suddenly heard that his distant cousin was crying, Zhao Rong's first reaction was to leave here immediately. After all, when he heard his cousin crying so sadly, he always felt that things would be troublesome. His mother had always taught him
, as a gentleman, you should avoid all kinds of dangers.
And these dangers are not just about engaging in some dangerous things or actions, but also including disputes and troubles at home. This is what mother has always taught Zhao Rong. Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhao Rong gradually developed a cold attitude toward other people.
Ruthless performance.
But for this distant cousin who showed special care to him after coming for a few months and still took care of him for many days even when he was ill, Zhao Rong, after hesitating for a moment, finally decided not to leave, but instead listened to the cry gently.
The voice moved to the window closest to my cousin.
At this time, Zhao Rong still didn't know why his cousin was so sad and crying alone, but there was no one waiting in the yard, and there were two fat women with fierce looks guarding the door.
They all let Zhao Rong know that the current situation is somewhat different from the past.
Therefore, he was extremely careful and did not make any loud noise, letting the two women guarding the door realize that someone had entered the small courtyard that was supposed to be closed.
After standing outside the window and waiting for a while, Zhao Rong found that no one noticed his arrival, and he felt relieved. After that, Zhao Rong gently scratched the window frame in front of him with his fingers.
As a slight noise rang out, the distant cousin who had been crying in the room also heard it. She suddenly stopped crying and asked loudly: "Who? Where is who?"
As soon as Zhao Rong heard his cousin's loud inquiry, he knew something was wrong. He hurriedly knelt down and hid among the lush flowers and trees.
Sure enough, following the cousin's loud question, the two women outside the door also reacted. With a crash, the door was pushed open. The two strong women immediately walked in and carefully inspected the small courtyard.
scene.
At this time, the window that Zhao Rong was facing just now was also pushed open by the cousin. Among the three people in the yard, one was in the house and two were at the door of the yard. After looking at each other for a few times, Zhao Rong
My cousin slammed the window shut again.
When the two fat women saw their cousin's behavior, they could only touch their noses and carefully look at the situation in the yard with their eyes again. Finally, the two looked at each other, and one woman said in a low voice: "
Forget it, I guess it’s just that my cousin is in a bad mood, so she can vent her anger casually and shout once or twice.”
Another woman squirted to the side and then said: "Bah, it has come to this, why are you pretending to be a young lady for us?"
The woman next to him was obviously more talkative. He tugged on the sleeve of the unhappy woman, and then said: "Oh, it's just our bad luck that we happened to catch up on this offending errand. Forget it.
My cousin is also in a really bad mood, we should also be considerate."
The unhappy-looking woman snorted again, and then the two of them retreated to the door, and locked the door again with a crash.
Zhao Rong, who was hiding in the bushes, heard the opening and closing of the door. Only then did he realize that the door to his cousin's yard was actually locked by the two women. It was the two women who were standing side by side in front of the door just now.
I really didn't let him see the specific situation of this door clearly.
But now Zhao Rong was even more hesitant. He didn't know what happened now. Someone actually locked the door of his cousin's courtyard.
The attitude of the two rough ladies just now was also very strange. Normally, as a cousin, even a distant relative of my mother, she would not be able to let the servants be so humiliated casually. But listening to the tone of the two ladies, I felt that
My cousin has no respect at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong was no longer in a hurry to meet his cousin. He moved his body lightly and approached the door of the courtyard, wanting to hear what the two women guarding the door were saying.
As expected, Zhao Rong was not disappointed. The two women guarding the door were muttering quietly. (To be continued)
