Tangled

Chapter 5
Nanny Lin is impatient. She has been in the warehouse for more than ten years and has not made clothes for a long time. Now she can't wait any longer, and walked out quickly with the selected materials.

She was busy doing things, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking at the still shaking curtain, Shen Qiqi's words "Don't you need to measure yourself?" were stuck in her mouth.

One and two of them were in a hurry, Madam Zhang, who was planting flowers in the yard, stopped and wiped off the dust on her body before heading into the house.

"Girl, they are in a hurry, do you have any orders?"

Running so fast, she didn't even know that she would squeak, and she didn't even know what happened.

"It's nothing wrong. They'll be back in a while, and Mammy will know cough cough... I know."

Shen Qiqi's voice was still hoarse, and after coughing twice, she felt itchy, and she couldn't help stretching out her hand to scratch it.

"Miss, take a sip of tea and moisten yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, don't respond. The old slave knows it."

After all, they are all elderly people, if you ask but keep silent, it is not very good.

Shen Qiqi arched her eyebrows and uttered the word "um" from her throat.

Compared with Changfeng Pavilion, which Gu Tingshu could go around from behind, Guanshi Li obviously lived farther away. When Nanny Lin came back with the materials, Nanny He hadn't come back yet.

Listening to her movements, Shen Qiqi first went to the west wing, then went to the south side, walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times, but finally there was no movement.

With her ears propped up, she looked like a fat cat stealing food in the backyard, and Nanny Zhang's narrowed eyes were full of smiles.

Such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, I don't know what the old lady thinks, but she wants to assign her to the old prince as a concubine.

The old prince was a loafer when he was young, he couldn't help himself when he lingered in the flower shop, if it wasn't for the princess who couldn't easily change the jade plate, he might have to change the princess every day.

In the past few decades, the number of girls who have been touched by him is unknown, let alone girls, even she herself looks down on her.

The old lady nodded her head to agree to this matter, that really lacked great virtue.

"Miss, do you feel bored? Where does the young master find a book of words from the shop, do you want me to take a look at it?"

A book of words found in the market?

Shen Qiqi was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to nod her head. If the old lady found out, she might have to be trained again.

She pursed her pink lips and shook her head with difficulty.

She wanted to look at her like this but didn't dare to look at it. Zhang Nanny also knew the stakes, so she didn't persuade her any more, she just had a plan in mind.

When the sun was setting in the west, Madam He came back with two yellow and green parrots. Before she saw anyone, the voice came first.

"Let me go, let me go, old man, I ate you! I ate you!"

Shen Qiqi and Nanny Zhang looked at each other in blank dismay, they had never heard such words in the mansion for so many years.

He just opened his mouth to eat you, this parrot is even more powerful than his master.

"Old sister, you went for half a day, and you picked such a thing back?"

Seeing that Nanny He brought Brother Parrot into the door, Nanny Zhang opened her mouth in disgust.

"Hey, it's not that you don't know Guanshi Li. He never has anything good to say about him. This parrot listens to him every day, so he's learned a lesson."

"But Li Guanshi said, bring it back and raise it for a period of time, and this can be changed."

She was sure of what she said, but Nanny Zhang was dubious. The appearance of these two little things was so high, it seemed that they were not a good-natured one.

"Old sister, have you been deceived by Guanshi Li? These two don't look like a good thing."

"Not a good thing..."

"Not a good thing..."

Before Nanny He answered, the two parrots rushed to shout first.

Shen Qiqi found it interesting, so she waved for Nanny He to bring it over.

She looked at the birdcage, raised her hand and took a piece of pastry into it. Before she could put it down, two parrots rushed over.

"Mommy, this parrot is really vicious..."

"It's ugly... difficult..."

Before they finished speaking, the two parrots disliked her hoarse voice, but Shen Qiqi was extremely wronged.

She pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Mother, they despise me!"

That pathetic attitude, as if they had been wronged by the heavens, amused the two nuns a lot.

They lowered their heads and bit their tongues to suppress their smiles.

"That girl might dislike them, too. She thinks they're vulgar and ugly."

The parrot that Manager Li picked up must be very good.

Shen Qiqi tilted her head to look at it, and was discouraged, "Forget it, I won't get angry with them."

"Hang them up at the window, Mammy, where there's wind and sunshine, they'll think they'll like it."

Nanny He responded softly, and was about to hang up the birdcage when she saw a group of people rushing into the yard.

Startled, she hurriedly closed the window, and gave Zhang Nanny a look.

The doors and windows of the room were all closed, Shen Qiqi didn't see anyone outside, she only looked at Nanny Zhang suspiciously, "Mommy, what's going on?"

Nanny Zhang locked the room before she came over to appease Shen Qiqi, "It's all right, the girl rests at ease, there are some old slaves here."

The girl didn't see it, but she could see it clearly. The one who took the lead was the nun in the old lady's courtyard.

There is a large group of people in the black, I am afraid that they have some bad thoughts again.

Relying on the influence of the young master, they have some face in the mansion, but they dare not say that they can stop the old lady.

But since the Eldest Young Master sent them here, they should do their part well, and they can't let them open the way even if they risk their lives.

Outside the house, Madam Xu led a group of servant girls and sighed towards Shen Qiqi's room, with regret in her eyes.

"The old lady said that the cousin girl is weak, and the doctor in the Hou's mansion is not as good as the imperial doctor in the Wang's mansion, so she asked me to take someone to carry the cousin girl so that the imperial doctor can recuperate her body."

"Nurse He, we have known each other for decades. Although we are not from the same courtyard, we still have some affection for each other. I hope that Nurse He will not embarrass me."

Several nuns from the master and young master's courtyard are here, presumably the cousin listened to her words last night.

It's a pity that after thousands of calculations, the old lady was so anxious that she was about to carry her sick cousin there.

The eldest young master went out early in the morning, and he didn't hear anything from him. It seems that this cousin girl cannot escape this disaster after all.

"Nurse Xu was joking. You are served by the old lady, and you are a respectable old man in the house. How dare I make things difficult for you."

"It's just that the young master asked us to come and serve him. If we let you take the cousin away, when the young master comes back, how many of us will still be alive?"

"They're all old people in the mansion. Madam Xu must not have the heart to see us die."
