idle mistress

Chapter 38 Floods and Beasts
"Miss San, it turned out to be a small vendor in the vegetable market outside." The little maid explained to the lady beside her.

The two looked her up and down, and saw that although she was young, she was ugly, her trousers were still wet, and she was in a mess.

The master and servant couldn't help but looked at each other, and the maid held back a smile and said, "Isn't it the kitchen? You go straight ahead, turn right when you see the road and pass through two courtyards. Also, this is the lady's boudoir , idlers are not allowed to enter at will, so don't go here for a while."

Xu Weiqiu nodded in agreement, bid farewell to the two of them, and took up the burden to move on.

She walked a long way according to the maid's instructions, and she found the kitchen. After delivering the goods, she put the money she received into her arms and walked back.

It was much easier to carry the empty bucket, and her steps were also much lighter.

She kept the maid's warning in mind, so she didn't dare to go back the same way, so she turned a corner and crossed a long bluestone road. She entered a courtyard, and there was a noise in front of her, and she stopped. , I saw several young men and women playing not far away.

Seeing that those dressed and dressed should be the young masters and ladies of Feng's family, Xu Weiqiu couldn't help being in trouble at this moment, she didn't want to go forward to disturb her, she just wanted to go out, and the only way to go was in front of her.

She thought about it, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on, thinking that no one would notice her as she passed by quietly. When she was passing by, a child about ten years old suddenly pointed at her and said loudly: " Do you think this person peed his pants?"

Several pairs of eyes looked at her, Xu Weiqiu had no choice but to quicken his pace, but at this moment, someone called from behind: "Stop."

She turned a deaf ear to it, but unexpectedly the other party did not give up, and said directly: "It's about you, the one carrying the bucket."

She had no choice but to stop, and a young man walked towards her, looked her up and down and then asked, "You look very handsome, who are you?"

"Returning to the young master, I am selling fish in the vegetable market, and I have brought fish to the family."

"Yeah." The other party nodded, and said quite naturally: "In this way, our Cuju fell into the water, you go into the water and help me pick it up, anyway, your clothes are also wet, aren't you?"

Xu Weiqiu turned his head and saw a ball floating on the water.

The man said again: "Don't worry, the water in the ornamental pool reaches up to the thigh, not deep." While speaking, he turned his head and said to someone behind him:

"Brother Zhao, let's play another game after the ball is retrieved."

Someone from behind responded lightly: "No problem."

Xu Weiqiu originally wanted to refuse, she was not a servant of the family, and had no obligation to do things for them, however, when the "no problem" came from behind, the familiar voice made her froze immediately.

She turned her head slightly to look at the tall figure standing not far away, and only took a quick glance, but it really wasn't her illusion, and she cried out inwardly.

If you refuse, the other party will definitely pester you, which will only expose you too much.

At this time, Xu Weiqiu just wanted to get out of someone's sight as soon as possible, so she hurriedly put down the burden on her shoulders, gritted her teeth, turned around and got into the water. It was autumn, and the water in the pool was very cold. A gust of cold air rushed directly to her forehead.

Xu Weiqiu didn't care about these, and went forward to test the water, but the man didn't lie to her, the water level was not deep, she tried her best to turn her back to the person behind, and approached the ball cautiously step by step.

She has grown in size in the past two years, and her appearance has changed a lot. In addition, the allergic reaction on her face has not faded, so this person should not recognize herself.

And for more than two years, I was a small person, maybe this surname Zhao had already forgotten about me.

Thinking of this in his heart, Xu Weiqiu calmed down a lot.

But she was not afraid of ten thousand but just in case, so she didn't dare to be careless. After picking up the Cuju, she put it aside, not caring that her underwear was still dripping, she picked up the burden and hurried away.

The second son of the Feng family brought a plate of food on a stone table not far away, and when he turned around, he saw that the person had gone far away, and the Cuju he picked up was placed on the edge of the pool, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hey...girl... Just wait..."

Unexpectedly, the more he yelled, the faster the girl walked, as if running for her life, she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Feng Lao Er raised his hand and scratched his head in confusion, and said to Zhao Yan in doubt: "Brother Zhao, what do you think is wrong with this person? We are not scourges, does she have to run so fast? I wanted to reward She is eating from a plate, really, it's inexplicable!"

Zhao Yan shrugged, took the plate of food in his hand, and threw it up. Seeing this, the two huge domestic dogs ran over excitedly, jumped up, and ate the plate in a blink of an eye. Grab it all.

The third miss of the Feng family raised her eyes and looked at him secretly. She had already learned from the second brother that this Mr. Zhao was of high status, and she also knew that the second brother intended to match them up.

When I first met him the day before yesterday, I saw his extraordinary appearance and outstanding demeanor. On the surface, she maintained her usual reservedness, but in her heart she was secretly happy. How much sympathy...

Xu Weiqiu returned to the vegetable market in a state of dreary, and the shopkeepers at the side asked her if she fell into the water, but she just smiled awkwardly and didn't explain much. Passers-by also cast strange glances at her when they saw her distressed appearance. She also pretended not to see.

The pants were wet and sticky, which was extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, the business was good today, and the business was completed in a short time.

She packed up the stall and pushed the cart home, and the autumn wind was strong, and her legs felt very cold and uncomfortable along the way.

She claimed to be in good health, but she still caught a cold when she got home.Seeing her wiping her tears and snot, Er Niang was very distressed.

"Qiu'er, I don't need you here, go back to the house and rest."

Rong Shi also said from the side: "Yes, if you're not feeling well, go into the room and sleep for a while. I'll prepare dinner."

Xu Weiqiu was secretly surprised that this Rong family was very lazy, and it was already raining red when he could go into the kitchen once a month. In the past, she came back late when she left the stall, and even if she didn't criticize herself publicly, she would criticize him. , Is it so kind that you changed your sex today?

It was only later that she found out that her father had bought half a catty of beef back, and the Rong family was afraid that she and Erniang would eat it secretly, so she drove them out of the kitchen.

In order to eat meat, Xu Weicheng was also called back, and Rong put a plate of beef in front of his son: "Weicheng, this is the beef your father bought back. Is the food not good for you over there? Let's see." You are so thin, eat more to make up for it."

While speaking, nearly two taels of meat had been put into her son's bowl.
