Tangled

Chapter 12 Don't be afraid, girl, just ask loudly

"girl?"

She didn't speak for a long time, Yin Bao glanced at her sister, and then called her softly.

Shen Qiqi returned to her senses, and responded with a smile, "Sorry, I was distracted just now, so just take out everything."

The three fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls were just at the time when they were very playful, and after putting everything on the stove to heat up, they got together again and started talking about jokes.

There is nothing interesting in the mansion, so most of the stories are told by the two maids, and Shen Qiqi listens with her ears open.

When they said that the village was slaughtered by bandits, Shen Qiqi silently pushed two pieces of chestnut cakes over.

The two servant girls stuffed their mouths with each, and after struggling to eat it, they continued, "Later, Lord Hou brought people to suppress the bandits, and made us two sisters avenge the murder of our father and mother."

It was the first time for the sisters to kill someone, and they thought they would have nightmares afterwards, but they didn't realize that they didn't even have any aftermath, and they only had fun in their hearts.

It may be because of this that Master Hou accepted them when they took refuge.

After quietly listening, Shen Qiqi took a cup of tea and sipped it carefully, and when she looked up, she saw them staring at her.

She silently put down the teacup and pulled up the quilt covering her body, trying to block their sight.

Compared with the two of them, her life was too ordinary, and the manor ignored her, as if she didn't exist.

If it wasn't for the matter of the old prince, most of the people in this mansion might not remember that there is such a person as her.

After hearing the two of them finished talking, she wanted to see the small stream in their mouth, and wanted to step on the round pebbles in the water with bare feet when no one was around.

I also want to travel through the mountains and forests, and pounce on the little rabbit like a hound.

I also want to fly kites on the green grass with my sisters at the spring equinox.

She has too many things that she hasn't done, but now she can only stay in this square inch, and she can only see half an inch of sunlight when she looks up.

"Jinbao and Yinbao, when we get back to Jiangzhou, let's go to the mountains to catch rabbits, shall we?"

She seemed to be asking, but her voice was too shallow, apart from herself, even Jinbao and Yinbao who were very close could not hear it.

Fortunately, Shen Qiqi never wanted to get a response. After asking for a while, she picked up the unfinished cup of tea.

The three of them quarreled for half the night, and when they were about to put away their things, Nanny Lin next door suddenly got up at night.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao moved their ears, one of them blew on the lamp and the other carried Shen Qiqi back to the bed, and then turned back to tidy up.

The two moved smoothly, and after a while, they cleaned up. After Jin Bao sprinkled a few drops of floral dew into the room to cover the smell, Nanny Lin came in quietly.

Seeing Jin Bao who was standing still, she asked in a low voice, "Why did you get up? Is the girl busy?"

Jin Bao shook his head, "No, I want to relieve myself."

There was a little panic in her words, Nanny Lin looked at her carefully, and then looked around the room, she gave up when she couldn't see anything wrong.

"You can go if you want, but please speak softly, so as not to wake up the lady."

Nanny Lin stepped forward and lifted the curtain again, seeing that Shen Qiqi was soundly asleep, she waited for Jin Bao to relieve her hand before leaving.

With Nanny present, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to breathe, she took a breath when Jin Bao approached, and asked her where Yin Bao went?
As soon as the words fell, Yin Bao jumped off the beam, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's amazing, I was almost discovered by Nanny Lin just now."

Fortunately, Nanny Lin didn't light the lamp, otherwise the two palm-sized beams might not have been able to cover her.

Shen Qiqi, who was startled by her, patted her chest, not blaming her for her sudden appearance, but said that she fell asleep.

Yin Bao bowed and retreated, Shen Qiqi took off her cloak, covered her mouth and yawned, half of her face was hidden under the blanket and she fell into a deep sleep.

It was dawn all night long, and before I got up, I heard two parrots screaming in the yard, the voices were heart-piercing.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at Hai Dongqing who suddenly appeared in the yard, their temples twitched.

They had seen this baby at Lord Hou's place, it was so ferocious, even Shi Shi couldn't guarantee that it could beat it, and now it suddenly appeared here, and they don't know what happened.

Fearing that it would attack suddenly, neither of them dared to move, only the two parrots who sensed the danger kept flapping their wings and screaming.

Shen Qiqi got up, put a gauze on her body casually, sat on the soft couch and poked her head out.

The gray and white-topped Haidongqing stood majestically on the wall, like an invincible general, scanning the territory he had just conquered.

Shen Qiqi couldn't see it clearly, she squinted her eyes and watched for a while, silently amazed.

This thing looks like the eagle on my cousin's cape.

"Girl, don't poke your head out. This thing is fierce. Be careful not to get hurt by it."

Nanny He came over and closed the window, waited for her to wash her face, and then brought the breakfast.

"Mammy knows this thing?"

"It was raised by the eldest young master. He was usually only in Changfeng Pavilion. I don't know why he escaped today." It's fine if he ran out, but he just happened to end up in the girl's yard.

She wanted to go to Changfeng Pavilion to ask, but as soon as she got close to the gate, the sea dongqing spread its wings and wanted to rush over, so she had to retreat.

If it wasn't for the early delivery of breakfast today, the girl might be starving right now.

"Inform my cousin and let him take it back."

Mother He smiled, "This thing is guarding the door, and the old slave can't get out. If the young master can't find it later, he will definitely call it back."

That being the case, Shen Qiqi didn't say anything anymore, but refused to listen to Mammy's words and hid in the house, but secretly opened a crack in the window.

The parrot that had already been hung under the eaves seemed to be tired, and now he was lying listlessly in the cage, even if he saw Shen Qiqi, he didn't bother to look up.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao stood for a while, knowing that Hai Dongqing was not malicious, they retreated to the window and opened half the window.

"Girl, this thing is mighty, why don't you ask the young master to give one. With this thing, we can walk sideways in the capital city from now on."

Shen Qiqi was stunned for a while, looked at Hai Dongqing and Jin Bao, and asked in a low voice: "Since it is so powerful, it must be very precious, can my cousin give it to me?"

Jin Bao probed in and saw that Nanny He hadn't put it here, and quickly took two fruits from the table.

She gave one to Yinbao, and the other one she said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Don't be afraid, girl, just ask loudly, the young master has more than a dozen of them."

She spoke so grandly, as if it belonged to her, Shen Qiqi listened silently, but did not respond.

This thing is so fierce, even if my cousin gave it generously, she might not be able to tame it.

"Let's talk about this later."

"You climb over the wall from the back and tell your cousin that this thing is here."

Jin Bao took a bite of the fruit, and shook his head bluntly, "I can't get out, this thing has sharp eyes, even ants crawling on the ground can't escape its eyes."

"If I really go over the wall, before I stand on the top of the wall, this thing has already scratched out a few holes in my head."
