pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 43

Ah Yu's hair is long.

A little bit longer.

It's really just a little bit, but this is already the longest in her memory.

Ah Yu stood in front of the mirror and kept touching the top of his head.The short stubble of hair made the palms of his hands a little itchy, just like that, A Yu couldn't help laughing when he looked at himself in the mirror.The nunnery has to shave her head every half a month. She shaved it at the end of February. In March, because Zhan Huaichun came, she was taken down the mountain by him before the shave. So now, she has not shaved her head for two full months. , the hair is almost as long as two knuckles.

If only it grew faster.

Ah Yu thought while laughing.

But this kind of self looks very strange, Ayu is so beautiful, and puts on the headscarf again.She put away all the good clothes that Zhan Huaichun gave her, but she still kept the headscarf, because only wearing these headscarves would the servants of Zhan's mansion look at her more normally.

With Zhan Huaichun away, A Yu had nothing to do, so he went to his study to read.A Yu almost memorized the book that the young master gave her, and she wanted to look through the others to see if she could learn something new.This time I was surprised to find that Zhan Huaichun had collected a lot of interesting books, including biographies, story books, travel notes of literati... The book cover is very serious, but the inside is a bad book of that kind. A Yu quickly stopped after reading two pages Look, this person is really bad, no wonder he always lied to her before.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the servants also have zongzi to eat.When the cook was making zongzi, A Yu followed curiously. The cook taught her carefully, and she learned it quickly.For lunch, she ate two made by herself, one stuffed with red bean paste and the other stuffed with meat. After eating, everyone got together and had a lively time, which was a life she had never experienced before.

Not knowing what it was like outside, Ah Yu suddenly wanted to go outside and have a look.

Ayu told Dangui, Dangui thought about it, and said to her: "It just so happens that you can wear earrings. I will be on vacation at the end of this month. I will come back an hour earlier to buy earrings with you, and take a stroll outside by the way." Ayu is too easy to trust people, and she used to live on the mountain and didn't know the dangers outside, Dangui was worried and let her go outside alone, what should I do if she was bullied?
"Dangui is so kind!" Ayu hugged Dangui happily.She has three senior sisters, none of which are as good to her as Dangui.

After making an appointment, Ah Yu began to look forward to arriving soon at the end of the month.

There was a heavy rain in the middle of the month, with thunder and lightning.A Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the blackness outside, the heavy rain hit the ground, splashing white water, the trees in the courtyard were shaking with the wind, and the bright flowers were knocked down by the rain and stained with muddy water.There was thunder rumbled in the distance, A Yu looked over, and the black clouds were rolling and hideous.

I don't know if there is thunder in the capital, and if Zhan Huaichun is afraid again, is he hiding under the blanket again?
In fact, Ah Yu couldn't figure it out. How could such a big person be afraid of thunder?

Thinking of thunder, it is inevitable that I will remember the night when I helped him cover his ears.She was so stupid at that time, he was buried tightly in front of her chest...

Ayu covered his face in annoyance.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing clothes. Fortunately, Zhan Huaichun had always been well-behaved. How about spreading the word?However, he is so pitiful, even if it happens again, even if she knows he is a man, she will probably help him, right?After all, sometimes, you can't just think about those rules, just like the travel book she just read the day before yesterday.The literati fainted from hunger in front of a farmer's house. The farmer's wife took pity on him and brought him water to drink.If you really care about whether men and women give or receive kisses, peasant women should not give water to strange men, and literati should not pick them up.
As for her and Zhan Huaichun, not to mention the past, she is now his maid, and a maid can't be compared with a lady in the boudoir, and can only keep the most fundamental taboo.

The day before the holiday at the end of the month, the housekeeper paid out the monthly money.Ayu came here in mid-March, and after receiving her money today, she received a total of six taels of silver in two and a half months, plus the two taels that Zhan Huaichun rewarded her before, and now she has eight taels of silver in deposit.If it was when she first came down the mountain, Ayu probably would have spent most of her money to buy good things, but now, she has already started planning for the future.

Parents... The Zhan family is so rich that they have not been able to find out about them. It seems that there is not much hope for her, so the only way for her is to marry.Whether it is a farmer in the village or a servant of the Zhan family, her husband and son-in-law are probably not too rich, so she should save more money for future living.

However, what should be spent still has to be spent, the ears have been pierced, can't the needle be inserted all the time?Just buy a pair of silver-plated earrings like Osmanthus osmanthus, at most two or three dollars, and it will not exceed the limit, and then buy some food. Osmanthus danxia has helped her so much, she must thank them, especially Osmanthus.

The next day, A Yu changed her clothes early, while reading a book in the house, while thinking about going out in the next half hour.In the morning, she was more attentive. After lunch, she couldn't help but look outside. When the sun was westward, Ayu took her purse and rushed to the side door of Zhanfu, excitedly and eagerly waiting for Osmanthus to come back.

"Ayu! Why did you come out? How long have you been waiting here?"

Because she didn't know which direction Dangui came back from, Ayu looked left and right for a while, and suddenly heard someone calling her cheerfully from behind.She turned her head with a smile, and Dangui was running towards this side with a small bundle on her shoulders.

"It didn't take long, do you want to send the baggage in first?" Ayu asked with a smile as he went up to meet him.

"Well, wait for me a little longer, I'll be there soon." After Dangui finished speaking, she ran in, and soon came out again, pulling Ayu towards the street.

It will be June soon, and it is very hot during the daytime. Now that the sun is gradually setting, the streets are starting to be lively.Dangui led Ayu to the main street of the county town. There were many shops and stalls on both sides, selling everything.It's the first time for Ayu to go out, and everything he sees is novel, and his eyes are not enough.

Dangui knew that Ah Yu wanted to buy cheap jewelry, so she didn't take her to the jewelry store, but just strolled along the street.

"Ayu, what do you think of this?" Stopping in front of a jewelry stall again, Dangui's eyes lit up, picked up a pair of earrings from the stall, and put them in the palm of his hand to show to Ayu.

The earrings are silver-plated, in the shape of a small crabapple flower, with a smaller ruby ​​in the middle, beautiful and playful.

A Yu looked down at the pavement, and found that the cheaper piece of earrings was indeed the prettiest one, so she nodded.

Dangui asks the price for her.

The stall owner was a stooped man in his forties, with a serious face. Hearing this, he was not as enthusiastic as the other stall owners. He glanced at Dangui's palm and replied calmly, "Three coins."

Ayu brought a tael of silver, and wanted to pay when she heard the words, so she lowered her head and gently bumped her with her elbow.Ayu looked at her in confusion, Dangui was already smiling and said to the stall owner: "Uncle, can you make it cheaper? We will bring other sisters to buy from you next time, so you can make it cheaper?" The voice was sweet. Wetting, as if acting like a baby.

Before the stall owner could speak, a cold snort came from beside him: "If you don't have money, why buy any jewelry? Isn't it just three renminbi? I'll buy it!"

A Yu frowned and looked over. The girl was already standing next to Dangui. She looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was also dressed as a maid. Flowers, hairpins, chin slightly raised, very proud.

Unconvinced, Dangui snatched back the earrings that were not about to be snatched by the other party just now, and reprimanded loudly: "This is what we saw first, why do you want to interfere? Don't think that you are the only one who has money, three money Who doesn’t have money, Ayu pays!” People live to fight for their breath, and after they go out, they represent the Zhan family, how can they let other people’s maids be arrogant in front of their eyes?Of course, if Ayu had no money, Dangui would never have made such a move.

The maid in the green skirt rolled her eyes, and was about to grab something from Dangui when a low voice asked from behind: "What's going on?"

The maid in the green skirt was not surprised, she glanced at Ayu, turned around and said to the blue-tooth man who was walking over, "Young master, this servant fell in love with a pair of earrings, and we negotiated a good price, but they snatched them away, young master, you have to make the decision for this servant what!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we are the ones who fell in love with you first, and you are the one who wants to grab us!" Dan Gui hurriedly defended.

He Fengnian looked at her, and quickly turned his eyes to A Yu: "This girl, it seems that you want to buy earrings, right? What happened, can you please explain it to me? Don't worry, girl, He is always fair. It's my servant girl who is bullying others, and I will definitely punish her." He has a handsome face, and he speaks modestly and gently, which makes it easy for people to like him.

Ayu had never experienced such a battle, she instinctively looked at Dangui, met Dangui's encouraging eyes, she had confidence in her heart, and said honestly: "I want to buy it, we are negotiating the price, and she came here." She likes this pair of earrings, and Dangui kindly helped her negotiate the price, and if the negotiation fails, she will buy it for three yuan.

"It turns out that He did not discipline the maids around him and offended the two girls!" He Fengnian solemnly bowed to Ayu, with a gentle tone and a gentleman: "I don't know how much this pair of earrings are? If you don't mind, Miss He Someone is willing to buy it and give it to the girl as an apology."

Dangui was overjoyed, smiled and winked at Ayu, signaling her to accept such a big advantage and not take it for nothing.

This time, Ayu didn't listen to her, and declined politely, "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter, I don't need to waste your money." Turning around, he poured out three coins from his purse and handed it to the impatient stall owner. Nodding to He Fengnian again, he grabbed Dangui to leave.She didn't know the other party, so how could she accept things from him for no reason?Besides, Zhan Huaichun told her not to get too close to other men.

"Young lady, I don't know her name? Which mansion do you work in?" He Fengnian quickly walked a few steps to stand in front of A Yu, his handsome face became more eager.

Dangui suddenly realized that something was wrong, how could anyone ask the girl's name when she came up?

She stood in front of A Yu and stared at him defensively: "We are maidservants of the Zhan family, please get out of the way." If you want to bully others, you have to see if you have the ability.

"The Zhan family?" He Fengnian's expression changed slightly. In terms of financial resources alone, the only one in the city who can compare to their He family is the Zhan family.If it was another family, he might still be able to buy this maid back with money. Zhan's family, he had a problem with Zhan Huaichun in the first place, and now it is impossible to buy his maid.

It's just that, with such a rare and stunning beauty, he feels unwilling to let him go for nothing...

Thinking of this, He Fengnian couldn't help but raise his foot, and stopped in front of the second daughter who wanted to leave again, clearly with malicious intentions.

People gradually gathered around, pointing in this direction, He Fengnian has long been famous as a dude, so he didn't mind, instead he stared at the two maids and smiled, thinking that even if he couldn't take advantage of it, it would be okay to cause trouble for the Zhan family it is good.Ayu understood a little bit, clutching Dangui's arm at a loss, Dangui was also scared, and while dodging, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the crowd, his face was blocked and he couldn't see clearly, but he was shaking a folding fan in his hand, Dangui gritted his teeth , stood on tiptoe and shouted over there: "Master Xiao, Master Xiao!" He is the best, no, in this situation, she can't care about calling the wrong person.

Xiao Ren was looking around boredly, when he heard someone calling him, he tilted his head to look over, and grinned when he looked.

Today, he was worried about having no fun, and he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to deliver it to his door.
