Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Gossip 2
Although the eldest lady has spoken and forbids the spread of rumors in the mansion, there are no rumors in the open, but the rumors are more embellished secretly. Some people even say that the eldest son offended the general and did something to kill Mr. Zhao behind his back. It was also said that there was a gap between Mr. Zhao and the Queen Mother, and the emperor wanted to find the right time to copy Zhao's mansion.

"This day is really difficult, and people are panicked."

Ziluo heard Sudie talking to Canruo in the yard.

"Yeah, I haven't seen the master in the past two days, probably because I really ran to calm down this turmoil."

Can Ruo replied.

"Ma'am, you can also cut paper, what a skill."

Zi Luo didn't listen to the gossip in the yard, closed the door and saw Fang Xin cutting paper.

"I knew it when I was a child, but now I'm practicing my hands. When it's Chinese New Year, I'll cut it out and paste it on the windows for you."

Fang Xin probably recalled the happy moments of paper-cutting when he was a child, and couldn't help smiling.

"Here, what do you think."

Fang Xin handed the cut paper-cut to Ziluo. Ziluo held the paper-cut, which was a flower with a Chinese character "Fu" hidden in the flower. This kind of pattern was very difficult to cut. Thinking about it, she also had a lot of paper-cuts at home. According to his mother, it was given to him by a girl.

"Madam's paper-cutting skills are really good! This one is for me!"

Ziluo praised.

"Take it, I can also cut portraits!"

Fang Xin got excited, and handed over Ziluo's small portrait again and again.

Zi Luo took the small portrait, and suddenly a picture flashed in her mind. It was when she was a child, she saw her mother's paper-cut small portrait. She was very envious at that time, and wanted to have one of her own.

"Why, look so engrossed?"

Fang Xin sees Zi Luo holding the small portrait and falling into memory.

"I also have a lot of paper-cuts at home."

Zi Luo said, suddenly she looked at Fang Xin's side face and her eyes widened.

"Oh, is she? She must be a clever little girl! Has your mother ever told you about her?"

Fang Xin focused on paper-cutting again, and didn't notice the change in Zi Luo's facial expression.

"It's a pity, no!"

But in fact, Ziluo remembered it completely. Her mother told her that it was a poor child. Her father died, and her mother took her to remarry. She was sent to the palace as a servant girl at a young age. Finally, her mother sighed and said: that The girl named Fang Xin is really pitiful!
Ziluo chose to keep this matter a secret. First of all, after so many years, she was still a little vague about what her mother said. Second, if Fang Xin was really sent to the palace as a maid at that time, she would not be able to come out before she was so old. Gong's, how did she come out now?
"What's wrong with you today? Always in a daze?"

Fang Xin put down the scissors, stood up and twisted her waist, presumably because she had been sitting for a long time, Zi Luo hurriedly stepped forward to rub her shoulders.

"Well, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Ziluo prevaricates.

"master!"

Suddenly, Su Die's voice was heard in the yard.

"Xin'er, I've been too busy recently."

Master Zhao walked into the house, and Zi Luo hurriedly stepped forward to take off the gray cotton cloak for Master Zhao.

"Master, what have you been up to recently, you don't care about the affairs of the house."

Fang Xin scratched her head as if possessed by the third wife.

"There have been some things lately..."

Master Zhao took a look at Zi Luo, and Zi Luo poured tea and retreated out with interest.

Canruo and Sudie are working in the yard, and Ziluo is too embarrassed to eavesdrop.

"I went to the laundry room to get the clothes that were delivered a few days ago."

Ziluo said to Sudie and Canruo.

"Okay, sister Ziluo, you can go."

Su Die happily agreed, it was supposed to be their job, Zi Luo did it, of course they were happy.

Just after leaving the courtyard, a gust of cold wind blew up a few fallen leaves, spun a few times in mid-air and landed on the ground again, Zi Luo couldn't help shivering.

"It's so cold!"

Ziluo complained and walked across a small bridge, and the small lake under the bridge was covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Ah."

Zi Luo couldn't help sneezing, and suddenly squinted and looked in front of him, it was the figure of the third young master, and the feeling of uncontrollable heartbeat came back again.

The figure was pulled tighter and tighter until the face was fully seen.

"It really is you, I look like you from afar."

The third son took the initiative to speak.

"Where are you going?"

Ziluo replied, with a gentle tone, I really didn't expect that I would speak so gently, Ziluo remembered that when Chuqing saw the second son, her words were gentle, her eyes were gentle, her behavior was also gentle, the whole was like Chuchun The sun, warm but not scorching, is the most comfortable temperature.

"I was just going to find you, here, I bought this on the street."

The third son raised a paper bag in his hand.

"Ah, it's candied haws!"

Ziluo shouted in surprise, she hadn't eaten this sweet and sour food for a long time, remembering that the last time she ate it was when she was a child, her father bought it for her brother, she said a lot of good things, and her brother gave it to her A ball, at that time she thought it was the most delicious thing in the world.

"How do you like it?"

The third son's words were gentle.

"Well, I'm really envious that you can go shopping."

Zi Luo took the candied haws, nodded several times, his face was full of joy, like a child.

"If there is a chance, I would also like to take you out of the house together."

The third young master blushed even as he spoke.

"Try it, find a place to finish eating, lest Madam see it and blame her."

A big man blushed, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he changed the topic to candied haws.

"okay."

Zi Luo followed the third son to the back of a nearby rockery, and the two of them sat on a big rock, because their hearts were warm, so they ignored the coldness of the rock.

"Give you one."

Ziluo took one from above and handed it to the third young master.

"I also like to eat this, I buy it every winter."

The third young master's laugh made Zi Luo even more fascinated.

"I'll stay and eat for two nights, and I have to go to the laundry room to get my clothes, so I'm leaving first."

Ziluo suddenly wrapped the remaining two in paper, probably the cold wind finally woke her up, she is a maid, how can she be so close to the young master, do you want to learn from Chuqing, now Chuqing is working all day Suffering from lovesickness, not knowing when to have results with the one I love, these troubles are on my mind, naturally I don't want the third son to notice my troubles.

"Oh, that's it, then you go quickly..."

The third son seemed to have something to say, and swallowed it back.

Zi Luo bowed his knees to the third son and left in a hurry.

Until returning to Yifuxuan, Zi Luo kept thinking about the scene of eating candied haws over and over again, and it became her real little secret.

"Why have you been away for so long?"

Fang Xin was a little unhappy.

"I accidentally fell on the way to the laundry room, and I hope my wife will forgive me."

Zi Luo felt uneasy, Fang Xin didn't get angry very often.

"Be careful next time."

Fang Xin let out a heavy breath and didn't reprimand her again.

"The master is busy again, come back at night, do you want to know what the master said before he left?"

Fang Xin said slowly, Zi Luo didn't know how to answer, although she wanted to know.

"The master said that he found a house in Linxian County, and he can go there to escape the heat next summer, but he didn't take everyone there."

Fang Xin continued, staring at the tea in the cup thoughtfully.
