pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 29

Zhanfu.

Ayu was drugged and was still asleep when the sun was high. Zhan Huaichun was not as lucky as her, and Xiao Ren had made a fuss early on.

"Where's Ayu?" Xiao Ren stood in front of Zhan Huaichun's bed, looking at him energetically.After going down the mountain last night, he went straight home and went to bed. Zhan Huaichun arranged for Ayu to send Qingshi away, and he took a break very late. So now he was woken up by Xiao Ren, and he punched him. The young master is full of temper. .

Xiao Ren has fought with him for so many years, and he also learned martial arts from him for two years at the beginning. If he can't beat him, it's still very easy to avoid him. Where did you go?"

Zhan Huaichun sat on the bed, looked at Xiao Ren, his eyes gradually regained clarity: "What are you looking for her for?"

"To tease her, and then I'll take her home with you." Xiao Ren took two steps forward, waved his fan and said, "I can be regarded as her savior, so she must remember me, right? "

Zhan Huaichun snorted coldly, what kind of savior is he, the solution is all on his mind.

Too lazy to flirt with him, Zhan Huaichun got up and dressed, and handed over Ayu's contract of sale: "Look for yourself."

Xiao Ren blinked, reached out to take it, and was stunned after reading it: "Where are her parents? Why did her uncle sell her?"

Chang'an came in with water, Zhan Huaichun washed his face first, wiped it dry, and then said: "I don't know, I ordered someone to investigate early last night, and I guess we will know the news in a while." A Yu's background is clearly stated on the deed of sale, easy to find.

Xiao Ren didn't know what to say, he went to the outside room with Zhan Huaichun, Zhan Huaichun had dinner, he just watched from the side, idling and asked: "Has she not woken up yet?"

"She's in the wing room. When she wakes up, someone will tell me, what are you in a hurry for?" Zhan Huaichun glanced at him, and stopped talking.

About an hour later, the person Zhan Huaichun sent out to inquire about the news came back: "Master, I have already found out that Miss Ayu's parents died, and she grew up with her elder brother when she was a child. When she was seven years old, her elder brother went out with someone. The dart did not return for a long time, and the villagers said that he was dead. Later, Ayu girl couldn't think about going to the mountains to commit suicide. She was rescued by the nun of Yuquan Temple and became a monk on the spot. Now her house is lived by her uncle, who is a man. He is bitter and mean, and has a bad reputation in the village. There are two sons and a daughter in the family. The two sons are married, and the daughter is getting married this year, and seems to be talking about marriage."

It was Zhan Huaichun who asked him to inquire, Zhan Huaichun nodded and let him go out.

Xiao Ren slapped the table angrily: "What suicide? It's obvious that her uncle deceived her into being helpless and sold her. If we send Ayu back to this kind of person, believe it or not, if we go ahead, her uncle will dare Sell ​​her again?"

Zhanhuai Chunxin, so he was worried.Sending her back is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. If she doesn't send her back, she is a living person. How can he arrange it?

Xiao Ren was also quiet, shaking his fan, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhan Huaichun urged him angrily: "It was you who insisted on saving her down the mountain. Now that I have brought her back, you should hurry up and take her away."

"Where can I take her? She is a nun. I can't even accept her as a maid. If I bring her home, my mother will definitely beat me up. But you, don't keep saying that she belongs to me, she After serving you for so long, you have no affection at all?" Xiao Ren asked wonderingly.

"Stupid love, she's a nun, what kind of love do I have with her?" Zhan Huaichun said without thinking.

Xiao Ren stroked his forehead helplessly: "Don't think wrongly, who said that there must be that kind of love between a man and a woman? A Yu is like a child, so you don't have the slightest intention to take care of her? If it is convenient for me to take care of her, I will definitely take her in and find a good family for her in the future. By the way, anyway, you don’t have parents in charge of you, why don’t you keep her by your side as a maid? If there is a suitable person in the future, let her marry directly, and it’s not a grievance she."

"You put it lightly, have you ever seen a nun as a maid?" Zhan Huaichun glared at him.

"Ayu has returned to vulgar life. She's not a nun. It's just that her hair hasn't grown out yet." Xiao Ren said with a smile, seeing Zhan Huaichun's displeasure, he added: "Forget it, since you think it's troublesome, then Just let her be your servant girl for a year, and when her hair grows, I will bring her to our house, and I will personally choose someone for her to marry."

"Are you looking for someone for her? Are you trying to take advantage of her?" Zhan Huaichun asked suspiciously.The little nun is beautiful, and it's not sure what she will look like when her hair grows in the future. Seeing Xiao Ren's character, could it be that she has already made up her mind?
Xiao Ren laughed at him: "Stop talking nonsense, my father only has my mother, and my mother doesn't let me touch the maid casually, so my boy body is waiting to be given to my future wife, unlike you, your parents don't care you."

Zhan Huaichun didn't answer, his parents didn't care, there was a big brother above him, who was stricter than his parents.Of course, in some respects, he is quite similar to his eldest brother. The eldest brother is not close to women, and he has never been tempted by those rough maids.As for the outside, he didn't see many ladies like brothels, and because he was curious about what it was like inside, he and Xiao Ren went there once, but they were suffocated by the strong smell of powder inside before entering the door.

He was hesitant, Xiao Ren said impatiently: "Are you going to accept her as a maid or not? I don't want us to send her home right away and help her get back the house."

Zhan Huaichun is silent, even if she helps the little nun get the house back, she is so innocent and easy to deceive, let alone whether her uncle will have any bad intentions, just talk about the neighbors, in case she is targeted by some bastard man with ulterior motives ,she……

"Forget it, I'll forcefully take her in first." He must have owed her in his previous life.

Xiao Ren had expected that he would not be so cruel: "Okay, then it's settled like this. When her hair grows, she will be my maid instead, and I..."

"Let's make your spring and autumn dream come true!" Zhan Huaichun sneered, "Since I took her in, I will be responsible to the end, and use you to pretend to be a good person halfway?" He snatched back the deed of prostitution that was placed on the table and put it in his arms.

Xiao Ren stared: "Why are you hiding her deed of prostitution? Could it be that you plan to make her a real servant girl of the Zhan family?"

Zhan Huaichun sneered: "You don't need to worry about it, anyway, she is now a servant of my Zhan family, so please stop pointing fingers at me, and don't come here after talking nonsense."

"Master, that Miss Ayu is awake." Xiao Ren was about to scold him when Chang An outside suddenly replied.

"Bring her food, and ask her to come to me after eating. Also, she has already returned to vulgarity, and the other servants in the family can give her whatever they eat, so don't treat her like a nun." Zhan Huaichun calmly ordered.

Chang'an took the order and left.

Xiao Ren didn't say anything more, indeed, it was not relative, and Ayu was rescued by Zhan Huaichun, and Zhan Huaichun took her as a maid for granted, otherwise, when his elder brother came back, he couldn't say that the family raised a Nun?

The two began to talk about other things, and after about two cups of tea, A Yu came in after Chang An.

She was still wearing the blue-gray nun robe, a nun hat on her head, and a pair of gray cloth shoes with white socks inside. At first glance, she seemed to be here for alms.Maybe it's because this place is too unfamiliar, the little nun is obviously a lot more cautious, and looks left and right with big eyes. When she sees them, surprise flashes in her eyes, and she asks in confusion: "Donor, is this your home? Why did I come here?" ?”

Zhan Huaichun looked at her, and reminded her: "You are now a vulgar, not a nun, your name is Ayu, not Mingxin, when you see me in the future, you have to call me Young Master like everyone else, his surname is Xiao, you call him Master Xiao, do you understand?"

He had a sullen face, just like when we first met, bossing around, Ayu nodded involuntarily to show that he understood, then kept his head down and his eyes fixed on the ground.Originally, there were many questions, such as why she came here suddenly when she was sleeping in a nunnery, and when she could go home, etc., but now Ah Yu suddenly didn't dare to ask.The other party was kind enough to take her in. If he didn't help, she would be homeless.As the master said, she must serve him well, and she will listen to whatever he says, until the day she can go home.

She stood there alone, nervous, yet quiet and obedient, Xiao Ren couldn't bear it, coughed lightly, and signaled Zhan Huaichun to speak softer with his eyes.

Zhan Huaichun ignored him and sent Chang'an away, and then explained to A Yu: "Your master is afraid that you will be too sad when you go down the mountain, so he told me to take you down the mountain while you are asleep. This is my home, so you can live here with peace of mind. Yes, before going down the mountain, I asked your host about your life experience, but she didn’t know anything about it. I sent someone to inquire around this morning, but there is no news for the time being. So now you have two options, one is to leave here, and Go find your parents, and the second is to stay and be my maid. I will help you find out slowly. If you still can’t find out, I will also arrange a good marriage for you in the future to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Which one do you want to choose? ?”

two roads...

A Yu squeezed her fingers and began to ponder seriously.

When she went out to find someone, she didn't know where to look, and she didn't have a place to live, and she didn't have money to eat.If she was a nun, she could still ask for alms, but she is no longer a nun, and if she went to ask other people's house for food, it would be deceiving them.

Stay and be a maid?

Ayu knows what a servant girl is. She heard from her senior sister that a servant girl has to serve the young masters and ladies, and there will be rewards for serving them, but...

She raised her head and looked at Zhan Huaichun anxiously: "Master Shi... what do you have to do as a maid? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll let someone teach you." She wasn't stupid enough, Zhan Huaichun's tone was lighter.In his yard, apart from the maids who clean and do the laundry, Chang'an will do all the personal service. Now he plans to let Ayu serve him, and Chang'an will only be in charge of the outside, so as to prevent her from being bullied when she gets together with those little maids. Moreover, he is also somewhat used to being served by her, and he can tease her occasionally.

Zhan Huaichun suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to accept her as a maid, but when the eldest brother came back, he had to spend some time explaining.

Over there, Ayu had already made up her mind, and said in a low voice: "I want to stay and be a maid, thank you young master for taking me in."

Zhan Huaichun said "Mm", "Then you will live in the wing room where you slept last night. Get familiar with the yard today, and come to serve me tomorrow."

A Yu nodded, seeing that Zhan Huaichun had no other orders, he went out.

Zhan Huaichun found the housekeeper, Old Wang, and asked him to prepare maid clothes for Ayu, and then left Chang'an at home to instruct Ayu on what to do in the future. Everything was arranged, and he couldn't wait to go out with Xiao Ren and live in a nunnery. It's been so long, it's already boring.

Here, Ayu returned to the room, and soon someone came to her, and it was the housekeeper Lao Wang.

Lao Wang looked at A Yu inquiringly, and he already knew what size clothes she should wear, and then said: "Today, you take a day off and start tomorrow. When the young master is at home, you will stay in the yard to wait on him. When the young master is not, you will go with the new one." A group of little maids who came here are going to learn the rules together." Neither of the two young masters has a personal maid, but this time they finally have one, and they must be taught well.

A Yu nodded in response, very well-behaved.Old Wang left satisfied, and after a while, someone sent two sets of clothes, the peach red shirt and blue trousers, the fabric is definitely not as good as Zhan Huaichun's, but it is much better than the nun's robe, and it feels delicate and smooth.

With new clothes, Ah Yu was very happy, and forgot about those hesitation for the time being, hid in the room and changed quickly.The sleeves are a little long, she can change it by herself in a while.After changing everything, Ah Yu went to the dressing table and looked in the mirror. The bronze mirror was bigger than the one in the nunnery, and the people inside were also very clear.A Yu looked at himself inside, and slowly frowned.The peach red shirt is obviously very nice, but it looks weird no matter how it matches with his bald neck and ears.After hesitating for a while, Ayu changed back into the nun's gown. Just after changing, Changan knocked on the door outside, saying that he wanted her to know the young master's yard, and told her the errands to be done in the future, so Ayu hurried out.

Ah Yu's errands are actually pretty easy, she takes care of Zhan Huaichun changing clothes, washing and combing his hair in the morning and evening, she is responsible for summoning and serving three meals a day, and when Zhan Huaichun goes to the study, she has to cut paper and grind it, and when Zhan Huaichun takes a bath, she has to help wipe his back and pass his clothes, The rest are trivial matters that Zhan Huaichun ordered temporarily.

A Yu wrote down one by one, feeling very emotional in his heart.Unexpectedly... the young master's family is so rich, his own yard is bigger than the entire nunnery, and the scenery in the yard is also beautiful, like that rockery, A Yu has never seen such a strange stone.There is also the young master's bathroom. It turns out that the young master didn't wash in a wooden barrel. He has a big pool. There is also the young master's study room. There are more rows of books than the scriptures in the nunnery, and...

In short, after walking around for a while, A Yu was dazzled.

For dinner, Ah Yu wanted to serve Zhan Huaichun, but Zhan Huaichun didn't come back, and she missed an errand, so she went directly to the servant's dining room for dinner.

There are also four maidservants who are about the same age as her, all in the same green clothes and trousers, which are different from the ones she got.

They all stared at her, Ah Yu was a little suspicious, seeing the four of them sitting around a table, and there was a table on the other side with only a pair of bowls and chopsticks on it, so she knew it was reserved for her.A Yu walked over cautiously, lowered his head and ate his own.Dinner is porridge, with one meat and two vegetables, but the vegetarian dishes are also oily.Ayu was still not used to eating meat, so he only drank porridge.

"Is your name Ayu? You don't eat this dish?" A little girl with a round face asked her back.

A Yu shook her head, seeing that she was looking eager, she looked at the other party's table and found that there were no meat dishes there, so she said, "Here's for you to eat."

The round-faced little maid named Dangui was very happy to hear this, and thanked her with a smile: "Ayu, you are so kind." As she spoke, she brought a bowl to her with another little maid named Danxia, ​​and ate it While talking to A Yu, she asked how she met the young master.

Chang'an had told her not to mention it to anyone, so Ayu used the excuse that Chang'an had prepared for her to evade it.Dangui Danxia obviously didn't believe it very much, but she didn't ask too much, she changed the topic with a smile, and introduced each other's names and ages.

Dangui and Ayu are the same age, and Danxia is one year younger than them. They are responsible for cleaning the house and yard, and Bizhi Bitao over there is responsible for washing.

Ayu greeted them respectively, and the four of them were very kind to her. Ayu was very satisfied, and heaved a sigh of relief after returning to the room.

It turns out that being a maid is not very hard work.

After washing up, A Yu changed into her pajamas and sat on the bed, and rested after reading sutras for a while.

When Zhan Huaichun came back in the evening, when he washed his feet, he asked Changan Ayu how his day was, and when he learned that she hadn't eaten food for three meals, he smiled unconsciously.

Let him teach her tomorrow, she is not a nun now.
