Hearing this, Qingyan guessed together with Chouchou: "Chouchou, do you think those people are some kind of dead men? When they met in the ruined temple before, they came up and started beating without saying a word, unlike What kind of grievances are in the world, and it doesn't look like some killer organization.

If it is an assassin organization, it should be the kind that engages in assassination. You watch TV is the kind that engages in assassination. Of course, it is a troubled time now, and laws are not complete everywhere. It is also possible for an assassin organization to kill so blatantly... "

Chou Chou: "It doesn't seem like what you said, at least the dead men are unlikely. They ran away after the first assassination failed in their mission before. The dead men usually say that if they fail, they will succeed. Take poison and kill yourself..."

Of course, the two of them watched these on TV, and they had never seen a real killer, so these guesses were actually not accurate.

If it's true that they commit suicide every time they fail like on TV, how many dead men must be trained to die like that.

Besides, it is not so easy to cultivate a heartfelt and capable soldier. It would be too wasteful to commit suicide if one fails.

"I don't know what the identity of the little girl surnamed He is, so these people are chasing after her so hard that they want to kill her."

Qingyan muttered to Chouchou.

Chou Chou: "It doesn't necessarily have to be someone's identity. It's very likely that they know some secrets. Those people seem to belong to the same power. Maybe they know something they shouldn't know."

Qingyan nodded approvingly, knowing what she shouldn't know, she died sooner.

Then Chou Chou said again: "When I was in the ruined temple before, I used my spiritual sense to scan those three people. They didn't carry any letters on them. They only had clothes and some silver taels in their bags. It is considered that they know something. , I guess it’s also in my mind.”

Qingyan nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's better to keep everything in your head for safety. When I was watching TV, I couldn't figure it out. Everything was written in the letter. Although it can be used to prove identity or something, But it’s also equivalent to sending the handle to someone else, isn’t it? It’s not as good as word of mouth, anyway, there is a risk of leakage, at least it’s harder to leave evidence than letters.”

Whispering and chatting with Chou Chou's sound transmission, he didn't slow down, and walked to the west door of Xue's mansion after ten minutes.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chouchou took out a bag, which contained a set of clothes she bought before and some small items.

Then he reached out and knocked on the door, and it was still Hou Shunzi who opened the door. It seemed that he was in charge of the side door.

"Girl, you're back. Are you tired from shopping? Let Erlinzi take you to the backyard?"

Qingyan waved her hand and said: "Don't bother, I remember the way, just go there by yourself, you can do your own work."

Hou Shunzi didn't insist on hearing the words. This place is indeed not far from the backyard, and he can basically remember it after walking around. After all, there is only one road going there, and there is no fork in the middle.

Qingyan walked through the small garden to the west by herself, and strolled towards the backyard.

It was too dark last night so I didn't take a good look at it, and I was in a hurry to go out this morning, so I didn't take a good look at it. Looking at it now, this small garden is quite nice.

There are flower beds and flower walls, especially now that it is summer. In the north, there are no less flowers blooming in summer than in spring, such as pansies, petunias, poppies, cosmos, roses, etc., all blooming just right.

There are also a few butterflies and bees flying in the meantime, and there is a set of stone tables and benches under the flower stand, which should be used for people to rest their feet when they are tired from strolling in the garden.

It's just past noon now, when it's hot, even though the garden is beautiful and beautiful, I don't have any interest in sitting here, the stone bench is probably scalded by the sun.

The sun is now in the middle of the day, and there is no shade in the garden except under a few trees, so she just looked around and left.

She also didn't go to Mrs. Xue's main courtyard. At this time, she felt that the head wife should also take a nap or something, so she went directly back to the small courtyard where she lived before.

The door of the small courtyard was not closed. It seemed that after the guests had settled in, the door of the small courtyard opened, which showed that there were people living in the courtyard.

When I passed by the main courtyard just now, the courtyard door was not closed, and there were people guarding the door, and they would go in and report if they had something to do.

These maids and women are really hardworking, and they have to be on duty there at noon, which is much harder than the workers in later generations. After all, the servants now sign death contracts, and life and death are in the hands of the master. Here, if something goes wrong, you may lose your life, and there is no way to resign.

Qingyan walked into the courtyard on her own, Xiaoju was staying in the side room, seeing her hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, you are back, do you want to wash up first?"

Seeing that Qingyan was sweating on her head, she thought she should wash up first.

Not to mention, Qingyan really needs to wash up, this morning and when she came back, she was sweating all the way.

Especially today I wear a lot of layers, and my body feels sticky and uncomfortable.

He nodded to Xiaoju and said, "Then please ask Xiaoju to bring me some water."

Xiaoju hurriedly said: "Miss, what are you talking about? This is what a servant girl should do. Can Qingyan finish her lunch? Do you want to go to the kitchen to get you some food first?"

The large kitchen in the mansion usually warms up some food, so that the masters can bring it to eat at any time when they are hungry.

Qingyan shook her head, "No, I used it outside, I just washed it casually, and took a nap after washing."

Xiaoju nodded yes, and went straight out of the yard to fetch water from the place where the hot water was obtained before.

In fact, on such a hot day, you can wash with a basin of water outside, but it takes time, and it is faster to boil the water.

After a while, Xiaoju came back with a bucket of hot water, and directly mentioned it in the bedroom cubicle, where besides the toilet, there was also a bathtub behind the screen.

Now that the weather is hot, a bucket of hot water is enough. For cold water, there is a water tank in the yard, and the water in it is filled every day, but it is placed in a cool place. Although it is not cold, it is not hot either.

After mixing the water, Xiaoju asked Qingyan if she wanted to help prepare a set of clothes.

Qingyan shook her head, "I'll just wear yesterday's set to sleep. That set is cooler, and I'll change to something else when I get up. I went out this morning and bought a set."

Xiaoju responded, and went to the back to take the suit back. She helped wash it in the morning, and it is now dry.

It is indeed more comfortable and cool to wear a set of muslin cloth when sleeping, and you are not afraid of creases. New clothes are suitable for wearing in the front yard after resting.

Xiaoju took the clothes in and hung them on the wooden shelf beside her, which is where she put her clothes when taking a bath.

"Miss, the clothes are on the shelf for you, and the cloth towels are also here."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoju. You should go to rest too. I'll go to bed right away after washing in a while. There's no need to pour the water out in a hurry."

Xiaoju nodded and left.

Qingyan asked Chouchou to take out a set of underwear for her from her bag in the space. It was too late last night and she didn't take a shower, so she didn't change it. Today, she is sticky all over, so she must change it.

He also instructed Chouchou not to use his consciousness to peek outside.

Chou Chou rolled his eyes in the space, it is an ancient beast, there is no distinction between male and female, even a male beast likes fluffy ones, who would peek at you, a naked two-legged beast!

Little girl, you really think too much.

Qingyan didn't care what it thought, she started to take off her clothes after she finished speaking, first scooped out a basin with a wooden basin and kept it aside for later use, then stepped on the low stool next to her and stepped into the bathtub.

The moment the warm water submerged his body, he let out a comfortable breath.

The body was sticky, and it was really uncomfortable. I soaked it for a while, and then let my hair down.

Don't look at how Xiaoju did her hair, it seemed to be quite complicated, but it was actually quite simple when she let it loose, just pull out the two hairpins, and the hair fell apart.

I don't know how it was fixed when it was fixed at that time. After tossing all morning, my hair didn't come loose. I can only say that it really is a specialization in surgery.

Let Chouchou help to bring out the fragrance-free shampoo and shower gel, and the soap is fine. After washing, there will be a layer of white foam on the surface of the water, which looks disgusting.

If you use shower gel, the amount is small and there will be no obvious bubbles.

She washed her hair with the basin of water scooped out earlier, and she usually separates the water for washing hair from taking a bath, otherwise she always feels that there is her own hair in the water, which makes her feel uncomfortable.

After washing his hair, he looked at the many bubbles on the surface of the water, thought for a while and said to Chou Chou, "Chou Chou, why don't you take this water into your space first? So many bubbles seem a little difficult to explain."

Chou Chou: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I just pour it into the corner of the backyard with my spiritual sense, and the sun will evaporate in such a short time."

It seemed to be okay, and then I asked Chouchou to take out her towel, wipe her hair half dry first, and then tied it with a rubber band, and then began to bathe with shower gel.

It took more than half an hour to finish washing, and I felt much more comfortable after washing, and felt a lot cooler on my body.

Dry yourself with a cloth towel that hangs over the rack, then put on underwear and muslin clothes.After that, I took off my underwear and washed them in the bath water.

After washing, let Choucho hang it directly on the roof with his spiritual sense, where no one will go there except for the birds. At this time, the sun is shining, and it will be dry in a while.

Let the Chou Chou Gang remember it, and just help take it back when it's done.

I had no choice but to wait for Xiaoju to help me wash the lavender clothes I wore before.

After taking a shower, I lay comfortably on the bed, closed my eyes and fell asleep after a while, which was much more comfortable than last night.

……

When he woke up again, he was woken up by Xiaoju.

"Miss, someone came over from the main courtyard to invite you, saying that Madam invites you to have dinner, and the maidservant will help you change your clothes."

Qingyan sat up and looked towards the window, it was still bright outside, she glanced at her watch again, it was 45:[-], it was indeed time for dinner.

She took out the goose yellow dress that she bought earlier, and asked Xiaoju to help her put it on, and then Xiaoju helped her comb and put on a Lingxu bun. This one is relatively simple. The strands of hair were coiled in a fancy pattern, and then tied with a hairpin, which would dangle but not fall apart when walking.

It looks like a little fairy, and it looks better from the back. Half of the hair is draped behind the body, which is very girlish.

After cleaning up, the sun outside was about to set, which should be around six o'clock.

Qingyan walked out of the door and followed the little girl who had been waiting outside to the main courtyard.

The little girl who came this time was replaced by another one, not the previous two. Her name was Xiaoxia, she was about 1.4 or [-] years old, and she was very short, only about [-] meters. She herself said that she was a second-class maid in the backyard.

Qingyan couldn't help thinking in her heart, this Xue's mansion is really a big family, there are only so many maids in one courtyard in the backyard.

Let's just say Mrs. Xue is well. Besides the four big maids around her, it is said that there are eight second-class maids who are responsible for serving her alone.

There are more than a dozen maids in the backyard who are responsible for rough work such as carrying, cleaning, and cleaning. In the past two days alone, the people who called her over have changed three or four.

It's not like the one shown on TV, where the madam goes to the big maid for everything, asks the big maid to go, does the big maid to do the work, even goes shopping, the big maid goes there.

In fact, this is not the case at all. Generally, they are just serving people around. The big maids next to the madam or the lady are all like the deputy lady, and they are also served by someone around them. For small things, such as going to the kitchen to get food, Or to find someone or something, they all ordered the second-class maids around them to go.

Like before the big maid came to call her in person in the morning, it was Madam Xue's intention to show her respect for her daughter's benefactor, otherwise it would not be necessary.

When I followed Xiaoxia to Mrs. Xue's yard, I went to the restaurant where I had breakfast before, but this time I used the big table, and there were three more people on the table.

A middle-aged man in his 60s and 30s, of course, should be considered old in this era, and then there are two middle-aged men in their [-]s and [-]s, who should be Xue Minghua's father and two older brothers.

I didn't see her two sister-in-laws, nephews, and nieces. It is probably inconvenient for the daughter-in-law or children to listen.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xue introduced Qingyan: "Qingyan, this is Minghua's father, you can call him Uncle, this is Minghua's eldest brother Shouli, and second brother Shouyi.

This is our Minghua's savior, Qingyan, who has the same surname as our family, maybe it was a family 500 years ago. "

Xue Minghua's father, Xue Renhe, seems to be a more elegant and easy-going person. When talking to you with a smile, people can't help but regard him as a reliable elder.

Such people are actually very scary, and they will break your defenses unconsciously.

Xue Shouli is very similar to his father, not in appearance, Xue Shouli's appearance is more like Mrs. Xue, more refined, with the feeling of a gentleman, but his pure temperament is a copy of his father.

Xue Shouyi is more similar to Xue Minghua, with similar facial features and temperament, they are brothers and sisters at first glance.

And the two of them are not like their father, of course, there are still some similarities, but the edges and corners of the face are more sharp, probably inherited from the next generation.

The three men got up and expressed their gratitude to Qingyan for sending their daughter (sister) back.

They also heard from Xue Minghua that they encountered danger on the road, and they knew that Qingyan was skilled in martial arts, so they had a very good impression of her.

Knowing that the other party came out to travel alone, he also expressed some concerns, and asked some things to pay attention to when walking outside.

Qingyan listened humbly.

Although there are not too many restrictions on women in this era, but in terms of understanding the outside world, they are still not as good as men who often travel outside.

After eating, Qingyan intentionally talked about meeting the three members of the He family and four chasing soldiers today.

When they heard her mention He's surname, Xue Renhe and Xue Shouli's expressions changed...
