Chapter 530

In the tail room, it is cramped and ruthless, even Qu Yao, a little girl from an ordinary modern background, is very uncomfortable, especially the light, which is even more dim, although it is not a stretch of hand and can not see five fingers, but only in front of a tattered makeup table, there is a small oil lamp the size of a bean, compared to the full light of the Linglong Pavilion on the side, it is simply the legendary light of fireflies and the bright moon.

However, this is also normal.

Linglong Pavilion is where the fourth master entertains guests in the front yard, and this enclosure is the residence of the little palace maids who serve in Linglong Pavilion.

As soon as the little girl saw Qu Yao, she smiled and saluted diligently: "Slave Qingyuan, I have seen Miss Qu Yao, girl, please follow the slave to the screen to change clothes!"

As she spoke, she took a set of ironed and smooth eunuch robes on the footstool next to her into her hand, pointed to a black lacquer screen about one meter wide erected in the corner of the side, and motioned for Qu Yao to follow her.

"Then I'm sorry for you!" "Hades is aggressive, and the little ghost is difficult, although Qu Yao is not an indigenous, and he doesn't understand the connotation and mystery of house fighting, but he has read a lot of novels, so naturally he won't embarrass a simple and plain little palace maid here.

Xu is the little palace maid is really shallow, or she is used to seeing those commanding big people, Qu Yao's peaceful appearance really made her like it, and Qu Yao was even more respectful, waving her hand again and again, "The girl is too polite, it is a blessing that the slave can serve you!"

"I'm just a little person, what kind of blessing is it to serve me......" Qu Yao seemed to notice Qingyuan's friendliness, smiled self-deprecatingly, muttered softly, and followed her behind the screen.

Standing in the distance and looking at the gorgeous and exquisite objects, when he got closer, Qu Yao saw the original face of the screen clearly, with black paint as the base, the screen of painted butterflies and flowers, although the wood is good, and the painting is also exquisite, but it is already mottled in lacquer, an inconspicuous place, and there are traces of burning, only painted with ink to cover it, obviously those things that the nobles don't want, so it is placed in the room of this kind of little palace maid.

On the inside of the screen, the furnishings are even more rudimentary, with only one side of the knee-high bamboo stool, which is not much different from the fitting rooms of those street-side clothing stores that Qu Yao has been to in modern times.

No, it should be said that it doesn't look as good as the fitting rooms she has been to!

At least the lights in the fitting room are bright, and the smell is faintly fragrant, and there is definitely no faint musty smell.

Qingyuan also seemed to know that the fitting room she had made temporarily was too simple, so when she saw Qu Yao stop and look like she was looking away, she blushed a little shyly, and explained softly: "Zhang Gong was a little anxious when he was on the bus, and this matter is not too big, so the slave can only use the only things in the room to get this changing place, and please don't dislike it." ”

As she spoke, Qingyuan was about to kneel down and plead guilty.

Although Qu Yao has a flamboyant personality and some white eyes, he still has the good thoughts that all girls should have in his heart, seeing Qingyuan such a child who is still studying in school in modern times, he asked her for guilt with tears, where would he not be soft-hearted, and he couldn't care about the bad taste of this temporary fitting room, so he hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over to help Qingyuan, and soothed with a soft voice with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't hinder it, I didn't say it, I'm really not a nobleman!"

"You are such a nice and nice person. Qingyuan wiped the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes and said with emotion.

Qingyuan, who was sent to the small election of the Internal Affairs Office by her family when she was a child, because she was clumsy and cowardly, was not less selected by the same batch of palace maids and grandmothers to suffer in front of her, that is, when she arrived at the Fourth Master's Mansion, she was arranged in this useless Linglong Pavilion, which was better, although the reward was not rich, and there was no oil and water to fish, but after all, there was no need to be hungry.

If she is such a timid person, how dare she cooperate with Zhang Mingde to do such a bold thing, it is natural that someone is putting pressure on her family outside.

Maybe others will say that a little palace maid who was sent to the Internal Affairs Office as an errand when she was a child can have any feelings for her family, but Qingyuan is such an emotional character, otherwise she would not be moved by Qu Yao's words.

Although the mothers in the family are always partial to their brothers and sisters, they are not too good to Qingyuan, but Qingyuan attaches great importance to the joys and sorrows of her mother.

Back at home, Qingyuan didn't have time to ask what was going on, Zhang Mingde was dressed in a silk and satin dress like a big man, shaking a folding fan decorated with a jade pendant, and swaggered in front of her.

The elder brother is the pillar of the family, but he was taken by the people of Shuntianfu because he bought private salt.

And Zhang Mingde appeared in her shabby home like a savior at this time, and promised her and her mother that as long as she was willing to cooperate obediently, not only would her brother come out of Shuntian Mansion safely and soundly, but Zhang Mingde would also give her family a Zhuangzi about the size of 100 acres.

For her shabby home, this is definitely a huge amount of property that can make her take risks, and she doesn't have to think too much, her sister-in-law, who has always been stingy, and her mother-in-law, who doesn't value her much, agreed to Zhang Mingde's suggestion.

Although Qingyuan wanted to say "Mother, you let me take such a big risk, so what should I say about my life and death?", but she was reluctant to be sad about her brother and her mother, and she was unwilling to contradict her mother, who had never smiled at her since she was a child, so she could only suppress all the grievances in her heart and return to the house.

In her opinion, after Xu is over tonight, her little life will be handed over to the Shen Criminal Division, and after tonight, her family's life will be better, so Qu Yao, who whispers and comforts her like a kind big sister, is particularly valuable.

Although Qingyuan is clumsy and clumsy, she is not very likable, but her hands are very skillful, and without her grandmother's careful adjustment/teaching, she can learn a good makeup technique by looking at it, that is, she does not show her face very much, otherwise she can ask for a good errand in front of those masters in the inner courtyard with her skills.

"Girl, you are white-skinned and beautiful, and your temperament is outstanding, even if you wear an inconspicuous eunuch robe, I am afraid that if you are mixed with those little eunuchs, you will look extraordinary, why don't you re-embellish and retouch for you!" As she spoke, Qingyuan pointed to the tattered dressing table by the window.

In fact, even if Qingyuan didn't mention it, Qu Yao could see that her disguise was not smart, although it was not like those TV series in which she changed her clothes even if she succeeded in disguising herself as a woman, but her face, which was whiter than Qingyuan, could make those little eunuchs with poisonous eyes understand at a glance, so as soon as Qingyuan proposed this, she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Qu Yao watched Qingyuan's temperament change before he could speak, and his original timid and cowardly temperament suddenly became confident, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a light smile.

Lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows, Qing Shi Fandai, should have made the woman better, but Qu Yao deliberately pretended to be ugly, the originally white skin like clotted fat was coated with a layer of fat powder picked out by Qingyuan, which became dull and sallow, and finally ordered a few inconspicuous pockmarks, a pair of slender and tender jade hands, which were also painted a lot rougher by Qingyuan.

At a glance, it was really the same as those inconspicuous little eunuchs in the house.

"Girl, take a look, are you still satisfied?" Qingyuan leaned the oil lamp to Qu Yao's side, so that Qu Yao could see her makeup clearly in the bronze mirror, and asked with a smile.

Qu Yao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, although it was very vague, but just looking at Qingyuan's confident appearance, she believed that she had changed her face, and then thought that she would have someone who could be trusted by her side in the future, so she had the idea of wooing Qingyuan, and praised with a smile: "Your craftsmanship is so skillful, how can you stay in such an inconspicuous small place?"

If you ask Qingyuan if she is really satisfied with her current life, she will definitely say that she is satisfied without hesitation, but whether there is a small regret in her heart, there is also a small regret, she is actually curious about what the life of those nobles is like wearing gold and silver, and she also wants to see with her own eyes the back garden of the inner courtyard is said to be as beautiful as a fairyland.

But it's just a little curiosity, she doesn't have the same kind of dragon and phoenix as other sisters, so Qu Yao asked, she didn't think much about it, so she replied with a smile: "Back to the girl, the grandmother who took me thought I was too stupid and was afraid that I would get into trouble, so she stuffed me here." ”

Seeing Qing Yuan's unsuspecting appearance, Qu Yao no longer doubted Qing Yuan's origin, made up his mind in his heart, and continued: "If one day, I want you to follow me, are you willing?"

The slave and maid did not want to. "A woman with such a temperament and beauty was sent to the bed of the fourth master, so it is naturally a sure thing to become a woman of the fourth master, so at this time, the olive branch stretched out by Qu Yao is simply a ladder for all the little palace maids who are on an errand in the front yard, but Qingyuan did not agree, and even refused without even the slightest hesitation.

"Why?" Qu Yao frowned a little dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice.

Qingyuan didn't dare to hide it, for fear that it would cause this noble man who was bound to soar to the sky to misunderstand and cause unnecessary trouble, and at the same time, she really didn't want to hurt this girl who was so kind to her, so she waved her hand in a hurry, and knelt on the ground as soon as she lifted her robe, and explained with a little choked: "The slave is clumsy, and her foundation in the house is shallow, and she doesn't even have a good sister, so it's really difficult to be a girl's love."

Not only that, but the slave's family is still in the palm of Zhang's father-in-law's hand, if the slave and maid follow you, it is also a hidden danger......" In the end, this little palace maid who was only ten years old was already scared and almost cried, so that the ladder was in front of her, she would also be moved, but in order not to hurt others, in order not to let such a good girl be hurt by herself, she could only grit her teeth and refuse.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll leave this matter untacted.

But when I have the ability in the future, I will definitely bring you to my side, at that time, are you willing?" Qu Yao is not a fool, Zhang Mingde arranged for her like this, she must have colluded with the Li family, and she also understood that what Qingyuan said was true, if she became the fourth master's woman and put Qingyuan in her hands, this Qingyuan would definitely become a fatal loophole for the other party to attack her, but if she wanted to give up such a rare help as Qingyuan, she was really reluctant, so she left this mouth.

"The slave is willing, the girl is the best person the slave has ever seen!" Qingyuan can't say pretty words, but she is better than death, Qu Yao is now in her heart, she is already the embodiment of the Buddha of great compassion, where will she refuse Qu Yao's request to retreat again and again!

Seeing this, Qu Yao smiled with satisfaction, patted Qingyuan's head, and said softly: "Get up quickly, kneel what you kneel, and you are not afraid of kneeling and hurting your body." After speaking, he pulled Qingyuan up from the ground, motioned for her to sit on the footstool next to her, and talked with her.

Don't look at Qingyuan's brain is not active, but in the end, she has more days in the house than Qu Yao, and she is not silent on weekdays, and she does not attract much attention, some gossip news, other palace maids also like to talk to her, so she knows far more news than Qu Yao, and there are some news that is of great use to Qu Yao.

Of course, this is also because Qingyuan really thinks Qu Yao is a good person, so she is willing to tell her the news, otherwise she is not a fool, Qu Yao will say anything anywhere!

I have to say that Qu Yao can meet Qingyuan together, that is really Qu Yao's luck.

——————

The night is thick, and outside the window, except for the movement of the wind-blown treetops, it is already silent. In the Linglong Pavilion, a man wearing a happy robe was talking about a book, and the fourth master and Xiao Yixuan were already drunk and hazy, as the fourth master drank the last drink in the cup, Su Peisheng said hello, and the quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Zhang Mingde, as Su Peisheng's only apprentice, quietly came to the outside of the tail room at this time.

"Girl, you will be by the side of the little one for a while, and you don't have to pay attention to what others ask you. Zhang Mingde gave Qu Yao a small salute, and then pulled Qu Yao out of the back room regardless of his identity, explaining as he walked.

"I see. Qu Yao smiled and nodded, but he didn't blame Zhang Mingde for being unreasonable, but just followed behind Zhang Mingde quietly.

Zhang Mingde smiled with satisfaction about this, he was really worried that the girl who Li had told him to take good care of would make trouble without knowing the depths.

In other words, the cooperation between Li and Zhang Mingde is just to take what they need.

As a good eunuch with goals and ideals, Zhang Mingde is not at ease to be coerced by a side of Fujin in the inner courtyard, he is just pushing the boat down the river, he has the same idea as the Li family, but he did not find a way to find a beautiful girl, so he borrowed the momentum of the Li family, as long as this person is in the hands of him Zhang Mingde, he Zhang Mingde has his own way to make her hate the Li family half to death, and treat him Zhang Mingde as a big help.

However, Li naturally does not understand all this.

If the Li family knew, they wouldn't have risked letting Zhang Mingde run into Qu Yao.
