Chapter 27

Huo Zhirou looked at Lingju's silence, and a sarcasm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the mouth is really tough!The voice was a little cold and said: "I prefer smart maids. I don't like maids who pretend to be smart. Now that your contract of prostitution is on me, I can sell you at any time!"

Huo Zhirou's threatening words gave way immediately, Lingju's face turned pale, her hands were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, and she said to Huo Zhirou in horror: "Miss, is it because of Aunt Jiang's business that you called me here? "

"What a smart maid!" Huo Zhirou looked at Lingju's frightened face, and the smile on her face became even brighter, but in Lingju's eyes, it was like a devil's smile, which made the soles of her feet rise. The air-conditioning made my whole body feel cold, and my body trembled slightly.

"My servant is willing to listen to your orders, miss!" Lingju kowtowed to Huo Zhirou and said humbly.

Huo Zhirou watched for a while, and this servant girl abandoned her master to join her. She is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. I don't know what Jiang Guqiu will do when he hears her, the most trusted servant girl, say such words. feelings.

Huo Zhirou's tone became colder, and he looked straight at the maid in front of him with a mocking look in his eyes, and said, "After you go back, take good care of Aunt Jiang, what should I do, I believe I don't need to teach you, you can A smart person should know how to do it!"

Ling Ju rolled her eyes when she heard Huo Zhirou's words, she understood what Huo Zhirou meant, she asked herself to monitor Jiang Guqiu, and then replied: "I know!"

"Very good!" Huo Zhirou clapped her hands, "Lingju, you are so smart, this lady will not treat you badly, and one day, this lady will let you take enough money to leave your status as a servant!"

When Ling Ju heard Huo Zhirou's words, an excited expression appeared on her face. No one wanted to be a servant. It would be fine if the master she followed would become the mistress, but according to the current situation, I am afraid that her wife Wanting to become the mistress is a waste of money, and now the deed of prostitution is in the hands of the eldest lady in front of her, so it is not a bad thing for her to change her master!
Huo Zhirou looked at the joy on Lingju's face, smiled coldly, said nothing, and asked someone to send Lingju back.

After Ling Ju left, Chun Xiao, who was standing behind Huo Zhirou, said worriedly: "Miss, you just trust this maid like this? If she goes back and tells Aunt Jiang that you are looking for her, wouldn't that be betraying you?"

Huo Zhirou tapped Chun Xiao's head lightly with the fan in her hand, and said helplessly, "In your eyes, is your lady so stupid?"

Chun Xiao touched the place where Huo Zhirou hit, and said aggrievedly: "Miss, you are not stupid, this servant is just worried that you will be deceived."

Huo Zhirou's eyes turned cold when he heard Chun Xiao's words, and the corner of his mouth curled into a hint of sarcasm, "Don't worry, this girl won't say anything, and I won't believe her, a girl who betrays her master so easily, I I'm still worried that she will bite me back one day!"

When Chun Xiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, she frowned, "Miss, you still win her over, I don't understand."

"As Jiang Guqiu's personal servant girl, she will be able to use her sooner or later. I also want to see if the girl next to Jiang Guqiu is also so backbone. Unfortunately, I am disappointed! By the way, where is my father? This I haven't seen him for two days, so could it be that he has been accompanying that woman in the Xikuan courtyard?"

Chun Xiao shook her head, "Your servant doesn't know, should I ask you about it?"

"Forget it, it's getting late, we'll talk about this tomorrow!" Huo Zhirou yawned and said a little tiredly.

Chunxiao nodded and served Huo Zhirou to bed.

As the time for Yuanmen to select Jinjin was getting closer, Huo Zhirou was also very nervous, worried about how the Huo family's Jinjin was doing, and was about to go to the workshop to have a look, but someone came to visit.

Miss Ji's family, Ji Qingrun!

When Huo Zhirou heard who came to visit, she was taken aback for a moment, and then a faint nostalgic expression appeared on her face. Ji Qingrun was her best friend in the previous life, and the Ji family was one of the best families in Jincheng. She and Ji Qingrun, who are about the same age, are good friends in her boudoir, but she was kicked out of the Huo family in her last life, and then she lost contact with the married Ji Qingrun. She never expected to see this friend in this life.

"Miss, do you want to invite Miss Ji?" Chun Xiao knew that her young lady was going out, but she didn't expect the eldest lady of the Ji family to visit.

"Well, let's go to the workshop tomorrow!" Huo Zhirou nodded.

Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, and immediately went out to meet Ji Qingrun in person.

Soon, Chunxiao stepped into the room with a girl wearing a powder-blue jacquard and folded flower satin round-neck shirt and a green-yellow gourd double blessing gauze embroidered skirt that dragged the floor.

Seeing the woman, Huo Zhirou stood up and said with a smile, "Run'er!"

Ji Qingrun walked quickly to Huo Zhirou's side, took her hand, and said with a worried face: "I went to my grandfather's house some time ago, and I just came back yesterday. I heard about your family, Rou'er, you Are you ok?"

Huo Zhirou smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Ji Qingrun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he said indignantly: "Your father is serious, your mother has only been dead for a long time, and she is about to marry a new man. I heard that this woman is your father." In the outer room raised outside, hum! Men are not a good thing, my father also said that he loved my mother before, but he took a lot of concubines and made my mother sad!"

Huo Zhirou looked at the complaining girlfriend in front of him, sighed softly, and then asked, "Is Auntie okay now?"

"It's still the same!" A sad expression appeared on Ji Qingrun's face. Ji Qingrun's biological mother has been in poor health for the past few years, and many of them were caused by heart disease.

Huo Zhirou remembered that Ji Qingrun's mother passed away a year later, and then her father married a woman into the family, and then this woman found a husband from out of town and married him in Jincheng.

Huo Zhirou frowned tightly, she didn't want her friends in this life to suffer the misfortune of the previous life, so she took Ji Qingrun's hand and said to her: "Run'er, please persuade your mother, don't let her She is sad about your father, let her think about you, think about your brother, if she still doesn't listen, you can take some medicine, let your mother think about it, if she goes, you and your brother will be together What should I do at home?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Ji Qingrun bit her lips and nodded, and said in a low voice: "Rou'er, I understand, I will persuade my mother well when I go back."

Seeing Ji Qingrun's appearance, Huo Zhirou patted the back of her hand lightly, and said, "Okay, you came here today to play with me, don't talk about that!"

"Yeah!" Ji Qingrun nodded, thinking that she came here for another purpose besides visiting Huo Zhirou, and then said to Huo Zhiju, "Rou'er, tomorrow June [-]th is the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became enlightened. Go to Fayuan Temple to pray, Rou'er, do you want to go together?"

Hearing Ji Qingrun's words, Huo Zhirou nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you that day!"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Ji Qingrun finally showed the brightest smile since entering the door, took Huo Zhirou's arm, and said delicately: "Rou'er, you are so kind!"

Huo Zhirou shook his head with a smile.

This day Huo Zhirou played with Ji Qingrun in Huo's mansion, and Ji Qingrun didn't leave until the evening.

Chun Xiao helped Huo Zhirou take a bath, wiped her back, and said: "Miss, why does Miss Ji keep talking about Young Master Ji in your ears today? It makes this servant feel weird."

Hearing Chun Xiao's doubts, Huo Zhirou put her arms on the tub, shook her head with a broken smile, and said, "She! She wants me to have a good impression of her brother!"

"Ah!" Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, and immediately stopped her movements. Although she was stupid, she still understood that Miss Ji was leading the red thread for her own eldest lady and young master Ji!

Chunxiao recalled the appearance and conduct of the young master of the Ji family in his mind, and then said to Huo Zhiju: "Miss, I think young master Ji is not bad! He is one of the best men in Jinzhou!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Chun Xiao talking to Ji Qingrun's elder brother Ji Junchi, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she said calmly and expressionlessly: "Chun Xiao, don't say such things in the future, although Brother Ji is good, he is not my good friend." match."

Hearing Huo Zhirou's cold tone, Chunxiao thought that her words had offended Huo Zhirou, so she said weakly: "Miss, the servant is wrong!"

"Don't be an example!" Huo Zhirou said in a faint voice, got up, and the maid beside her immediately stepped forward to wipe the water off Huo Zhirou's body, and hugged her to the back room.

The pale Chun Xiao looked at Huo Zhirou's leaving back, her eyes were red, she upset the lady, what should I do?
The next day, Huo Zhirou looked at Chun Xiao with a haggard face. Obviously, he didn't sleep well last night. Looking at the appearance of his personal maid, Huo Zhirou said helplessly: "Chun Xiao, you don't have to accompany me to Fayuan Temple today. !"

Huo Zhirou's words frightened Chun Xiao to turn pale, kneeling on the ground, weeping pleadingly: "Miss, I made a mistake, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, don't drive me away!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Chunxiao's begging words, he helped his forehead and said: "What are you talking about, who said you will be driven away, what is going on in your little head, seeing your complexion is not good, let you go down and rest You still don't want to!"

Huo Zhirou's words made Chunxiao stop crying, "Miss, are you letting the servants go to rest?"

"Otherwise?" Huo Zhirou asked angrily, "Come on, look at you, stay at the mansion and guard the yard for me!"

"Uh, it's..." Chun Xiao said awkwardly.

Huo Zhirou had just finished her breakfast when a maid came in to report the news that Ji Qingrun's carriage was outside Huo's mansion, which made Huo Zhirou helpless. She didn't expect Ji Qingrun to come so early and asked the maid to invite Ji Qingrun into the mansion Wait a while.

Huo Zhirou hurried to the second gate with her maid, but when passing through the garden, she met Luo Huilan who was blocking the way.

"Meet my sister!" Seeing Huo Zhirou, Luo Huilan changed her hostile look towards Huo Zhirou before, and said to Huo Zhiju with a smile: "Sister, I heard that you are going to Fayuan Temple today, can you?" Take your sister with you?"

Huo Zhirou looked at Luo Huilan's attire for traveling at this time, and said with a cold smile: "How do you know that I'm going to Fayuan Temple today?"

Huo Zhirou's rhetorical question immediately froze the smile on Luo Huilan's face, she laughed dryly a few times and said, "I just found out by accident, today is the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became enlightened, my sister also wants to pray."

When Huo Zhirou heard Luo Huilan's explanation, the corner of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, he dared to inquire about her whereabouts, how brave he was!

"Okay, it just so happens that I lack a maid by my side, so you can serve me by my side!"
