Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 458 Who Is She?

Baozi was afraid of affecting his appetite, so every time it was time to eat, he asked Miss Ying to help him block part of his overly sensitive sense of smell, so that he could only smell the smell of the food in front of him, and he would reply after the meal. The atmosphere affected his appetite.

However, after only two mouthfuls, he moved his nose and suddenly smelled a unique feminine fragrance besides the aroma of the food.He raised his head and was sure that the feminine fragrance came from the fourth lady.

The fourth lady paused for a moment with her chopsticks, and said with a natural smile: "Brother Baozi, why are you looking at me like this?"

Baozi shook his head, puffed his mouth and said, "I think the food made by Mrs. Fourth is really delicious and smells really good!"

Because the house is very big, after the meal, the Fourth Madam placed Su Chen in another separate house.

After Su Chen briefly washed up, he took off his coat and put it on the screen, ready to rest.At this time, the outside door was knocked.

Su Chen opened the door and saw that it was the Fourth Madam standing at the door, holding a tray in her hand with a bowl of soup and two plates of snacks in it. As soon as she raised her head, she looked into Su Chen's eyes, feeling a little helpless The look of extricating oneself.The candlelight in the room reflected her cheeks, showing two parts of transparent paleness.

Seeing her say a word, Su Chen looked at the tray and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madam, what's the matter?"

The fourth lady came back to her senses, smiled, but there was a faint light in her lowered eyes, and said: "I expected that everyone was still awake at this time, so I made some supper for everyone, and I was hungry at night." You can eat it when the time comes. If the prince doesn't dislike it, can I ask my concubine to send this to you and let you go?"

The tone of this speech is as soft as a willow branch caressing the surface of the water, full of aftertaste, and the tone and tone of every word and sentence made Su Chen feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard such words before.But it was the first time he saw the fourth lady in front of him.

Su Chen pondered for a while, but still moved aside, and the Fourth Madam entered the room with a tray.She put the food on the table and introduced it carefully: "This soup is the lotus seed soup I made by myself. It clears away heat and relieves qi. This dessert is my steamed crabapple cake and hibiscus cake. Eat it while it's hot, my lord."

Su Chen smelled it, and felt that the scent was somewhat familiar.But after sniffing it twice, he would feel tired again, and it was not his favorite taste at all, so he said: "You can leave it, thank you, I will eat it later when I am hungry."

The fourth lady nodded lightly, and said: "My lord must have had a lot of hard work, please rest early at night, if you need anything, just tell me."

"it is good."

The fourth lady looked like she was about to say goodbye, she took two steps towards the door, then turned her head, her eyes fell on Su Chen's tall back, then she moved to the screen next to her, and saw his clothes.She walked over with lotus steps and took off Su Chen's coat presumptuously and hugged her in her arms.When Su Chen turned around and saw it, he showed his displeasure, but it was not easy to get angry.

The fourth madam said: "My concubine sees that the clothes of the lord are dirty. If the lord does not dislike them, I will give them to the concubine to wash and dry them for the lord, and I can wear them again tomorrow morning."

Su Chen's voice became colder, and said: "Don't bother, just leave it alone, you don't need to be so particular about going out."

The fourth lady frowned and said: "It's my concubine's disrespect. Everyone is working hard every day. I'm just a defenseless woman. I want to help but I can't help. The only thing I can do is these. So I also ask the lord to forgive me, and understand my concubine's painstaking efforts."

In the end, Su Chen still asked the Fourth Madam to take his coat away.It may be that he was born superior and was used to a life of being served by others. Seeing the fourth lady's request, he did not refuse.

The fourth lady withdrew from the door, and closed the door for Su Chen thoughtfully.When she turned around, there was no smile on her face, and the light moonlight made her face paler.She looked down at the clothes in her hand, stepped out of the yard, and when she stepped out of the yard, she sighed quietly: "I thought I would never be able to wait for you in my life, but I didn't expect you to come anyway."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The lights in Ye Song's room were not turned off, and the window was slightly closed, with only a small gap exposed.At this time, someone knocked leisurely on the window lattice two or three times, and Ye Song knew who it was from without raising his head.Sure enough, Su Jing's voice sounded from outside: "There is no scene inside that I can't see, such as changing clothes, I pushed the window."

The windows are unlocked.Ye Song twitched the corner of her mouth, she was no longer surprised by Su Jing's shameless behavior.Compared with his seriousness and rejection of others, Ye Song thought in his heart that it was more appropriate for him to be like this.So when Ye Song raised his eyes, he saw Su Jing half body leaning in from the window, and said, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you sleep too?"

Ye Song said, "I'm getting ready to sleep."

Su Jing rested her arms on the window lattice, smiled and narrowed her eyes, and said, "I still want the night to be clear, so I plan to invite you out for a walk. There are so many stars outside."

Ye Song didn't speak.

Su Jing said again: "I haven't seen that stray cat howling on the roof in the past two days. I don't know where it went. Don't you want to know?"

Ye Song looked at him sideways and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The stray cat that Su Jing mentioned, after Ye Song fed it a bowl of soup the first night, came back on the second and third night, and barked twice on the roof, as if waiting for Ye Song to come back. of feeding.And Ye Song also prepared a bowl of soup every night for it to come.

If Su Jing hadn't mentioned it at this time tonight, Ye Song would have almost forgotten that it was past the time for stray cats to come, and the bowl of soup on the table hadn't been moved, and no cats had been heard outside. cry.

Ye Song looked at the bowl of soup by the table and asked, "Did you see it?"

Su Jing straightened her body, stood outside the window, and said, "I saw it by accident."

Then Ye Song came over and closed the window, blew out the lights in the room, opened the door and walked out.Su Jing was still standing in the yard waiting for her under the moonlight, and when she heard the door open, she turned her head and smiled at her.

Ye Song squinted her eyes, feeling that the moonlight these nights seems to be extraordinarily mellow, she raised her head to look at the night sky, Su Jing was right, there are so many stars, dotted the night sky like gems, very beautiful.

Ye Song walked down the steps and said, "Let's go."

Su Jing knew what to do and didn't know: "Where are you going?"

Ye Song borrowed his words: "The night is clear, take a walk or something."

Xie's old house is very big, Ye Song seldom went to the backyard, but Su Jing took her to the backyard instead.There is a pond in the backyard, the water in the pond is very clean, because it is inconvenient to go out to fetch water for cooking, so for the time being, we use the water in the pond for cooking.

Around the pond, flat and smooth bluestones were paved. Part of the bluestones was submerged in the water, and the exposed stones were covered with wet and cool moss.The entire water surface is very calm, and a bright full moon is reflected in the water, which is almost the same as that in the sky.It is on such calm water that once there is something floating, you can spot it at a glance.

At this moment, there was a black mass floating in the water.

Girl Ying, Baiyu and Baozi live in a separate courtyard.Firstly, Baiyu needs to rest, and Miss Ying will not let anyone disturb her. Second, there are often little things in the yard where she lives, so it is better for ordinary people to avoid going there.On weekdays, Baozi took the initiative to help Baiyu decoct medicine.

The stove under the eaves was emitting faint green smoke, and the medicine pot was boiling with a bitter medicinal gas, and the steamed stuffed bun smelled too bitter and made people vomit.

Miss Ying usually goes to bed very late, and now she and Baozi are guarding the medicine pot.Seeing this, she asked, "This medicine smells so bad, is it worse than the smell of rotting corpses outside?"

Baozi touched his nose, his eyes were red, and said: "That's not true, but my nose is too sharp, and the smell is more than twice as large as that of ordinary people. It's really a bit irritating. Sister Yingzi, don't care."

Miss Ying was unsmiling, like a little adult, and said: "I don't vomit, I don't mind."

Baozi paused for a while, then suddenly said: "During dinner tonight, I smelled a familiar smell on the Fourth Madam, I've smelled it before."

Miss Ying stirred the concoction inside with chopsticks, "Then what?"

Baozi said: "Everyone's smell is different, even if a woman wears the same scent of rouge and water powder, they are also different. But I have smelled that scent before, which means I must have seen that woman before."

Miss Ying put down her chopsticks, looked at him, and said, "Have you been to Jiangnan before? Know Master Xie Ming? Have you met his wife?"

Baozi shook his head.

"Then tell me where you saw it?" Ying asked.

Baozi still shook his head, but said firmly: "But I just feel familiar, I think there may be something wrong with the fourth lady."

Miss Ying said calmly: "If even you think that the Fourth Madam is wrong, Sister Ye should have noticed it long ago. But if you are worried, you can talk about it with Sister Ye and Brother Su."

Then Baozi sat aside, thinking hard, and sometimes he said to himself: "Who the hell is..." The more he thought about it, the more he recalled the past, and the cocoon-like thoughts guided him bit by bit. to get closer to the truth.

As soon as Miss Ying finished frying the medicine, she picked it up and poured the medicine juice into the bowl.Baozi suddenly patted his thighs nervously and stood up, with a serious expression on his face as if the sky was about to fall, he turned his head and ran outside, saying, "I know who she is! It must be her, it must be her!"

Baozi ran to Ye Song and Su Jing's yard non-stop, knocked on the door for a long time, and found that they were not in the room, he couldn't help sweating profusely, scratched his head and ran out again, "Where are they going?" Well, I'm really anxious to death..."
