Who says maids don't fall for the city

chapter 15
I thought that the little girl he was talking about must be Ruyi, but if she has returned to her life, then there is no reason for the people in the house not to know that something happened to me?What's more, the concubine said such things, I'm really not sure what she was thinking.At that moment, he could only ask the old man with a wry smile: "Old man, did Mr. Yang leave any words when he left?"

He thought about it carefully, and said: "He only said that day that if the bride came to him, let her go to Mocheng to find a Linglong Inn, and Young Master Yang will wait for her there." If I don’t come back, if I don’t come, such a big house will be abandoned after a hundred years for me and my wife! If I knew I was going to leave, why would I spend so much money to buy such foreign things.”

I was surprised, Yang Ziyu once said that this house was rented, but now the old man said that he actually bought it.

But after thinking about it, what does this have to do with me, at most I just feel a little sorry for him in my heart.At that moment, I thanked the old man and returned by the same way.

But while walking, he suddenly stopped and looked around, not knowing where to go for a moment.I remembered that day Cheng Yu once said that he thought the prince would accept me. He has been with me for many years and he also had the same idea, let alone the princess.It must be because of this reason that she will not let me go back to the palace.

But it's no wonder, the prince has been very kind to me since I was a child, sometimes even surpassing him to Cheng Yu.It's just that only we understand that the relationship between the prince and me is just like that of a father and a daughter.He loves me and I respect him.Other than that, nothing else.

But if this is the case, how can I tell the princess?
If I can't go back to the palace now, I lost my home and my direction.The world is so big, where can I go?Suddenly a sense of sadness rose from my heart.

Just as he was feeling melancholy, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the distance.At this time, the sun is even at noon, which makes my heart feel a little cooler.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a brown horse galloping towards him.The face of the person on the horse was a little blurry, and I didn't see it clearly until I came to the front.Uncontrollably surprised, "Why are you?!"

The person who came got off his horse, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked in a hurry.Obviously extremely embarrassed, but his gestures are still gentle and elegant, making people feel refreshed.

He stared at me closely, as if afraid that I would disappear in the next second.Such a serious expression, as if I am the most precious one in this world.

"You..." Surprised by his expression, I couldn't say anything.

He was a little excited, and his face was full of gratitude that I had never seen before.It seemed that he didn't show a deep smile until he confirmed that it was me standing in front of him.

"It's a good thing you didn't leave, it's a good thing you're still here..." He couldn't even speak incoherently.

I frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "Second Young Master, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Xiaoyi stood against the light, her whole body was coated with a beautiful color by the sun, it looked so warm.

Hearing my question, he didn't panic anymore, and looked at me calmly, his eyes were full of turbulent and obscure emotions like the sea, which I couldn't understand.

He looked at me pityingly, "After walking for so long, you must be tired too. Why don't you go home with me to rest first."

"Ah?" I didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment, but then I thought of another thing: "How do you know I'm here?" I have never looked for him, and it stands to reason that we are not familiar with each other. Didn't pay attention to my reasoning at all.What's more, he still chased him himself.

However, he was just taken aback, and quickly realized it, and replied with a smile: "The servants of the family happened to see you in front of Prince Yi's mansion when they went out to buy, and told me after returning to the mansion. Although I don't know what happened, but I We are as close as brothers to Cheng Yu, so we naturally treat you as one of our own." After a pause, he continued: "I'm afraid that you, a girl, will be in trouble if you go out alone, so I want to take you to live in my house for a while. It won't be too late for Yu to come back and make plans."

Immediately moved, I never thought that it would be Li Xiaoyi who was by my side when I was most helpless.

Tears welled up in his eyelashes, but he immediately panicked.He looked at me helplessly, his face turned pale with anxiety.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "puchi", and he realized that I wasn't sad.The complexion is also much better.

"Qing'er, would you like to go back with me?" Li Xiaoyi asked for my opinion with sincerity in his eyes.

I nodded, but couldn't say thank you.He didn't care about these things, he was smiling, not like what I usually see.Quickly took my hand and led me to the horse.He kept his back to me, wondering if he was afraid of my rejection.I just feel that his hands are amazingly hot.

"Qing'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't prepare in advance, and now we can only ride on one horse together." As he spoke, he helped me and forced me onto the saddle.I just sat down and a gust of wind passed behind me.

As soon as his face became hot, he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from behind him.Li Xiaoyi put her arms around me, held the rein with both hands, and drove the horse to run slowly.

His hot breath caressed my earlobe, which made me feel awkward for a while, but I was embarrassed to ask him to stay away.Besides, he probably didn't do it on purpose. He came to help me out of good intentions. It would be too chilling to talk about such a trivial matter.So I endured it, looked straight ahead, and tried my best to ignore that strange feeling.

It wasn't until he reached the gate of the city that he got off his horse and led me all the way.I am a little embarrassed, after all, he is the serious master.But no matter what I said, he wouldn't ride by himself, wouldn't let me get down and walk.

After talking several times, he refused to compromise, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

Walking to the back door of Li Mansion, Li Xiaoyi was full of apologies: "Qing'er, I can only wrong you for entering through the back door."

I smiled indifferently: "Second Young Master is willing to take me in, I am already very grateful. Besides, Qing'er was originally a servant, so it is not an insult to enter through the back door."

He was relieved after hearing this, handed the horse to the boy, and led me all the way to the "Qingxinju" where he lived.I thought his name was strange, so I asked, "I wonder who named this yard?"

His face was almost invisibly red, but he forced himself to be calm and said: "I thought of it myself, and Miss Qing'er laughed."

I quickly waved my hand: "Second son is serious. It's just that the name is a little too dusty. The second son is Lord Li's beloved son. If Lord Li sees it like this, he will inevitably be angry." Li Shangshu had a second wife and concubine, and they had four children One son and one daughter, except for Li Xiaoyi who was born to the second wife, the others are children of the main house.This also shows how difficult his life is, but I don't know how he cultivated such a good temper in such a background environment, he is gentle and elegant, and he is many times stronger than his direct son.

It's just that Mrs. Li's natal family has great power, no matter how much Li Shangshu loves the second wife and Li Xiaoyi, he can only let the eldest son inherit the family business, and he loves the eldest son's children even more.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi's face suddenly became a little sad, but she still smiled at me and said, "This Qingxinju doesn't mean to be out of the world, on the contrary, it has some feelings of being in the world."

I raised my eyebrows: "Oh, how do you say that?"

His gaze suddenly became weird, like bitterness, but there was sweetness in it, with a hint of scorching fire.Lips parted, but it was a few words with a light tone and ordinary words. "This place of peace of mind is my hometown."

I didn't understand what he meant, but I wasn't interested in asking further.I just suddenly felt that the past few months seemed to be in the same situation.

First it was Cheng Feng's servant girl, then it was Ling Wu's servant, and now it was transferred to Li Xiaoyi's side.I don't know if God is joking with me. Could it be that my whole life is just a servant's life?

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly lost my interest.

Xu could see that I was tired, so Li Xiaoyi thoughtfully brought me to a room, opened the door, inside was a simple wooden bed, a round table, and a few chairs.But it looks quite comfortable.He turned his head and said to me: "I prepared this for you, do you still like it?"

I nodded, walked into the room, looked back at him and smiled and said, "Very good, but I always feel a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

He smiled but didn't answer, "It's fine if you like it. Then you should have a good rest first, and I'll come to see you later." After he closed the door, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Sitting at the table, drank a cup of tea, and rubbed the cup in his hand.Looking around, Cai suddenly realized when he saw the tiny peach blossoms carved on the bed board—isn’t this my room? !
Suddenly, Li Xiaoyi's mind was overwhelmed, Li Xiaoyi had never entered my room, how could he know what my room looked like?If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental!Besides, he said that this was prepared for me, so it was definitely not a coincidence. Did he already know that I would have so many accidents, did he know that I would come back with him?
Suddenly a chill rose from the bottom of my heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, a female voice came from outside the door: "Miss, this servant has ordered the second son to bring you some snacks."

I stood up and opened the door, but the maid in front of me was holding my favorite snack, and Lian Lian felt a little stiff in an instant.He hurriedly took the plate from her hand, thanked her, and hurriedly closed the door.

What does he mean?
I'm just a little maid, how can I deserve so much thought from him?
My heart and mind are in a mess, trying to figure out a clue, but I don't know where to start.I ran all night last night and was really tired.Thinking about it, I'm in his hands now, if he wants to do something to me, there's nothing he can do, he just puts all his troubles behind him, pulls off the quilt and goes to sleep.

It was not woken up by the maidservant until night.

They prepared the bathing things and asked me to change with a smile.

Seeing their faces ready to take a bath for me, I waved my hands in embarrassment and exhausted all my strength to invite them out.

Steam was rising from the tub, making the whole room hazy.He took off his clothes, stepped into the bucket slowly, and couldn't help but take a comfortable breath.

The hot water surrounds the whole body, and the rose petals floating on the water exude fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable, and at the same time, an indescribable sense of satisfaction fills the whole body.

Close your eyes slightly, feeling this rare comfort.But after all, they were under the eaves of others, so they didn't dare to soak for too long, so they got up when the time was almost up, dried themselves and changed into the clothes they prepared.

It was a cyan long dress, simple yet charming.Surprised again, I smiled helplessly, I really don't know when I let Li Xiaoyi see so clearly.

When he opened the door, he saw that the previous maid was still guarding the door.Seeing me coming out, one of them, the girl who brought the snacks before, smiled and said: "Second Young Master is waiting for Miss to have dinner together in the living room, servant girl, let's take Miss here."

I couldn't help being embarrassed: "Why is the second son waiting for me?" Then I added: "Don't he have to eat with Li Shangshu and his wife?" I was really flattered to wait for me.

The servant girl smiled when she heard the words, her smile seemed to be somewhat, somewhat secretive, and she only peeked at me from time to time with a pair of eyes. "Today is the fifteenth day. It stands to reason that the young master is going to eat in the front hall, but he is afraid that the girl will feel uncomfortable alone, so in order to accompany the girl, he claims that he is sick."

I was even more embarrassed when I heard it, so I said repeatedly: "Then let's go, don't make the Second Young Master wait too long."

The maid answered yes, and quickly led me to the hall, where Li Xiaoyi was standing facing the window with her hands behind her back.He turned around slowly when he heard the sound of footsteps. The moonlight shone on him, and he seemed to be integrated into one body, which made people feel at ease.All the previous doubts about him seemed to disappear in an instant - how could such a bright moon person have any conspiracy against me?

Li Xiaoyi walked up to me and led me to sit down.The servant girl stepped back in time.

I asked curiously: "What was the Second Young Master looking at just now, so engrossed, as if his soul had gone out of his body?"

He poured two cups of tea and said, "Moon."

After speaking, his hands paused slightly, "I think that Mingyue is very similar to you."

"Ah" I cried out unconsciously, looking at him.His eyelashes were thick and long, and seemed to be trembling.Immediately received: "Master, you are joking, you are the character like the bright moon. Qing'er is just a black cloud next to him, nothing special." He talked and laughed, only feeling a little cold.

He didn't refute, and concentrated on eating.From time to time, I pick up food for me and ask me if it suits my appetite.After a meal, it is simply meticulous.It makes me embarrassed.

After dinner, the two went around the yard again, and then he sent me back to my room.Say goodnight and leave.

When I was lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think about my current situation. It is impossible for me to stay in the Shangshu Mansion for the rest of my life, but the princess won't let me go back.Now it seems that we can only wait for the prince to come back before making any plans. He loves me so much, and he will definitely not let me wander outside.

As for Yang Ziyu...he asked me to go to Mocheng to find him, but what happens after I find him?Could it be that she really married him and died of old age outside the Great Wall?

But if I don't go to him, I would be a little too selfish.It’s okay if he doesn’t wait for me, but what if he keeps waiting for me?But we have only met for a short period of time, so he probably won't take it too seriously.

However, if there is a fight between Qingze and Qingze this time, there is no telling when the prince and Cheng Yu will come back. If it takes ten or eight years, what can we do?

Instead of waiting endlessly like this, it's better to go directly to Cheng Yu!In this way, we can speak clearly with Yang Ziyu, and also solve the current predicament of living under the fence!
Yes, that's it!
After making up his mind, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and began to think about how to get to Mocheng.I have no troubles, and I don't know the way. This is really a problem.

When I woke up the next day, yesterday's maid Xingchen brought out some things for washing and then brought out a jewelry box. I asked her to put the things down, and after I rinsed my mouth and cleansed my face, I went to the dressing table.Open the box, and there are earrings, hairpins and other jewelry inside.I think it's too expensive to wear.He only picked up the mahogany comb on the side and combed his hair carefully.

Once or twice, the wooden comb shuttled through my hair, which suddenly reminded me of the scene of Cheng Yu combing my hair on the day I got married, as if I could vividly remember it.A warm smile could not help but float on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the face in the mirror, although it is not stunning, it can be said to be delicate and beautiful.With a flash in the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure standing on the threshold from the mirror.

Turning around, it was Li Xiaoyi looking at me with blurred eyes.It seemed as if he had fallen into a very beautiful dream, and the smile in his eyes was so real.He was already a gentle and jade-like man, now with such a smile, I'm afraid he will fascinate so many girls in Luoyang city.

Seeing that I found out, he smiled slowly and said: "Did you sleep well last night?" Before I came back, he said: "Breakfast is ready, let's eat together."

I nodded, put down my comb, and walked over to him.He raised his face and smiled: "Thank you, Second Young Master."

He froze for a moment, smiled and walked out side by side with me.
