Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 398 Ask Mei Yin

Zeng Yu was stopped by the question.

She opened her mouth with a stiff face, but couldn't find a word to reply for a while.

What can she do?

Who in the Lingmei Pavilion dares to use her to run an errand?Even Du Shiqi would not order her to do things easily.She actually sneaked out through the back corner door for a stroll.

Shangjing is not as strict as Dadu, and the Zhou family is not here to watch, so the life of the servants is much easier. In addition, Du Dalang and Li's family have been ill recently, and the house is even looser.Zeng Yuzheng is a member of the Zhou family, and no one dares to take care of this mansion, so she often sneaks out to hang out.

"I..." She rolled her eyes and thought about what to say, and suddenly she slapped her forehead and thought of an excuse, and hurriedly said, "I went...to the kitchen...to the kitchen to watch the dishes, and then to the steward's room...that... Go and urge them to send charcoal."

"Oh, is that so?" Du Shiqi nodded kindly, and immediately frowned in confusion: "This is really strange, I've been cutting flowers in the garden, and I'm going to get charcoal or go to the kitchen , always passing the garden, but I haven't seen you for a long time, could it be..."

She turned her head and thought for a while, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a smile: "Could it be that the stone road in front of Aunt Li's yard is detoured?"

Caixuan raised her head all of a sudden, the shock in her eyes flashed away.

Du Shiqi didn't even look at her, but only focused on Zeng Yu, with a flattering expression on his face: "I heard that Aunt Li is going back to Dadu to recuperate soon. Did you drop by?" Go see her and say hello to her for me?"

The ready-made excuse was thrown in front of her eyes. Zeng Yu didn't think much of it at all, and immediately nodded and said: "Uh... yes, I stopped by to visit Mrs. Li, so I didn't go from the garden. But Mrs. Li I've been ill recently, and I saw a lot of people guarding her yard, so I didn't go to be annoying."

"So that's how it is." Du Shiqi sighed regretfully, then tilted his head slightly, and said with a puzzled expression, "Wait a minute, this doesn't seem right. I don't know, I sent Caixuan away before." How about going to visit Aunt Li, if Aunt Li didn't see you, then you should have met Caixuan on the way, why didn't Caixuan meet you?"

After throwing a ladder, the road was blocked again. Du Shiqi's words made people's mood go up and down, and Zeng Yu's complexion became quite ugly.

She felt that Du Shiqi talked too much today, and he kept asking her what she was doing, which was really annoying, but she still couldn't answer.After all, many people have come to Dadu now. If news of her disrespect to her master reaches Mrs. Zhou, Zeng Yu knows that her good life will come to an end.

Thinking of Zhou's methods, Zeng Yu shuddered unconsciously, with a little uneasiness on her face.

At this moment, Caixuan took two steps forward, and said softly: "Young lady, I have always been the most caring. The young lady has always said that she likes plum blossoms. I thought, I must have gone to that yard just now. I heard that the plum blossoms are the most beautiful there, so I must have gone to pick plum blossoms for the girl."

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

Yeah, how did she forget about it?
There is indeed an old plum tree behind the courtyard wall of the Li family. The flowers bloom beautifully every year. It is very famous in the gentry circles of the capital. The Li family is even more proud of it. This flower is famous for opening a banquet to appreciate flowers.Besides, Du Shiqi really liked plum blossoms.

This is really a reason that cannot be reproduced.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yu took a deep look at Caixuan.

She knew that behind Caixuan was Mrs. He. Mrs. He had always been slick, and the maids under her command followed her attitude, smearing both sides and flattering everyone, and never easily offended anyone.

She curled her lips in disdain, Zeng Yu finally accepted Caixuan's favor, and said casually: "Yes, yes, Caixuan always follows the girl after all, her mind is really smart, and she guessed right. Back to the girl's words." , I went to see Plum Blossoms at that time, so I went astray with Caixuan."

"So that's the case, thank you so much." Du Shiqi laughed happily, as if he was in a good mood, and even spoke a lot louder than usual: "It's because I went to Mrs. Li's backyard to pick plum blossoms." That's why I didn't see Caixuan."

How could Zeng Yu notice this strangeness in her, she just wanted to get away at this moment, so she hurriedly responded: "Yes, girl."

Du Shiqi smiled for a while, then stretched Bai Shengsheng's hand forward suddenly, tilted his head coquettishly and said, "Since I'm going to fold flowers, where are the flowers?"

Zeng Yu didn't expect her to be so relentless in pursuit, she was so anxious that she scolded her mother in her stomach, but she couldn't help but answer.Finally, she still had some quick wits, and after thinking for a while, Fang forced a smile and said, "Uh...it's still early, so where will the plum blossoms bloom? It will take a while. "

Du Shiqi let out an "oh", withdrew his hand with some regret, nodded and said: "In that case, then I will wait here. When the flowers bloom, I must go and pick the most beautiful branch." Give me the red plum branch."

Zeng Yu was already impatient with her questions, and now she just begged her to finish the question quickly, so she repeated: "That's natural, that's natural."

Du Shiqi smiled at her as if he was satisfied, and left with Caixuan.

As soon as the two of them left, Zeng Yu's face turned cold, and she raised her hand to wipe her forehead.

Du Shiqi blocked her at the gate of the courtyard and asked such a lot of questions, she was sweating all over her body.

What a troublesome bitch.After cursing a few times in her heart, Zeng Yu just felt a little more comfortable, then tightened the sable cloak around her body, and went back to the house.

It gets dark early in winter, and it's time for dinner soon.

Ever since she came to Shangjing, Zeng Yu never served Du Shiqi again.Where she needs to do these low-level jobs, just hand them over to the maids and it's over.

She sat comfortably in the room. The charcoal pot in the room was very warm. On the dining table in front of her were exquisite side dishes, including roasted deer, roasted yokan, and a small bowl of steamed fish and two kinds of seasonal vegetables. The fragrance wafts everywhere.

Zeng Yu smiled with satisfaction.

This time of day is when she enjoys it the most, and it is also the time when she feels most like a master.

She raised her chopsticks with a smile, and was waiting to pick up the food, when she suddenly heard the door of the courtyard being slapped "bang bang", and immediately there was a commotion outside the courtyard, mixed with the voice of a man: "Open the door! Open the door quickly!" ! I will come here under the order of Mr. Erlang, and open the door quickly!"

Zeng Yu frowned and put down her chopsticks.

That idiot Du Erlang, what kind of madness is this today?When Mr. Da Lang was ill, he took advantage of the time to do his best, and now he ran into trouble in the concubine's yard again?
