Chapter 41 A good man's surname
The masked man turned and walked away.
"Eh, eh!" Xue Jinyi reached out and grabbed the masked man's shoulder, this guy came and went without a trace, who knows what it will be the next time they meet him?
Since he appeared in Baiyun Temple and set fire to the Weiguo Mansion and the Sun family's porridge shed, maybe his target was the Sun family? Wouldn't they be allies?
For Xue Jinyi, one more ally is one more hope, and she must not let go of the masked man easily.
She only cared about stopping the masked man, she didn't notice her feet, and the moment she stepped forward, the weightlessness of stepping on the air came instantly, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.
The distance between them was so close that the masked man didn't have time to turn around, and he was knocked to the ground by Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi lay on the back of the masked man, blinked her eyes, quickly turned over and sat aside, and rubbed her forehead with some annoyance.
Wouldn't she seem too stupid to make the masked man disgusted and unwilling to form an alliance?
"Miss, miss, are you alright?" Mama Yao rushed over, looked at the masked man in horror, and quickly helped Xue Jinyi up, "Why are you two ......?"
There was a pair of magpies in the tree just now, and they were chirping very cutely, and she looked at them a few more times, and then when she looked at the young lady again, she saw that she and the strange man were both lying on the riverbank.
"I accidentally fell." Xue Jinyi said calmly, her eyes became much calmer, and she looked at the masked man who had already stood up again, "Mama, I still have important matters to discuss with this knight, you can wait for me for a while next to me." ”
"Is it really okay?" Mama Yao was not at ease and was unwilling to let go.
"It's really okay......" Xue Jinyi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that Gu Nan was about to leave again, stretched out her hand and grabbed it indiscriminately, and when she touched a piece of fabric, she grabbed it tightly, and continued to say to Mama Yao with a smile: "Don't you think I'm good?" ”
"Uh......" Mama Yao slowly turned her head to look at the masked man next to her.
Xue Jinyi also turned her head to look, although there was a mask blocking her face, she sensed obvious anger.
She was just about to apologize, but the masked man raised his hand and broke her fingers one by one, and when the last finger left the clothes, he pulled his leg and left, and in the blink of an eye, he had already opened a distance of two or three feet.
"What a good man's surname!" Xue Jinyi shouted at the masked man, "At least let me know who the name of the life-saving benefactor is, right?" ”
The masked man didn't leave a word, and suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes like the wind.
Mama Yao shuddered, "Miss, I look at that portrait...... Like a ghost......"
"He's a living person." Xue Jinyi looked at her empty palm, which seemed to have some residual temperature on the masked man's fingers, "I'm still a good person." ”
"Good guys?" Mama Yao didn't believe it, "A good person dressed like this? ”
Xue Jinyi sighed and said meaningfully: "If you are dressed up brightly and beautifully, can it mean that you are a good person?" ”
Mama Yao was stunned, and the first figure that appeared in her mind was Mrs. Xue.
Xue Jinyi saw that Mama Yao was silent, and patted her on the shoulder, "He won't come back, let's go back." ”
Before leaving, she glanced in the direction the masked man had left.
It's up to them to see each other again.
Back at the Weiguo Mansion, Xue Jinyi went to see Mrs. Xue first.
The news has been transmitted back to the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Jinyi, and said, "It's good that you are not injured, I will ask the kitchen to make you some sweet soup, eat some pressure shock, rest early today, don't think nonsense." ”
"Thank you, Mother." Xue Jinyi secretly raised her eyes and observed Mrs. Xue's face.
Mrs. Xue's face was very normal, and the hand resting on her lap was fiddling with the gold and red sapphire ring on her ring finger.
This shows that she is a little irritable.
Was it because what she wanted to do to her didn't work out?
"Mother, Jinyi retired first." She spoke up.
Mrs. Xue didn't stay, nodded and let her out.
Xue Jinyi came out of the house, several maids in the main courtyard were embroidering and chatting under the corridor, she looked back at Caiyun, this little girl looked at the maids with blank eyes, and seemed to be eager to join the chat team immediately.
"Caiyun," she whispered, "there's nothing going on over there, you can play your own game." ”
Caiyun originally had this plan, and immediately jumped up and down to find her good sister.
Xue Jinyi walked slowly to the courtyard gate, watching Caiyun quickly mingle with the maids, and return to the broken courtyard with Mama Yao.
Mrs. Xue really asked someone to cook sweet soup for her, and the little maid put the dishes and chopsticks on the stone table in the courtyard, smelled a fragrance wafting from the stove, and asked, "What is Miss Jin doing, so sweet?" ”
"I buried a few red weeds in the fire." Xue Jinyi sat idly on the bamboo chair, "Do you want to eat?" ”
The little maid nodded hesitantly.
Xue Jinyi asked Mama Yao to take one for her, and advised, "Be careful of burning your hands." ”
"Thank you, Miss Jin!" The little girl thanked happily, and couldn't wait to tear off the soft skin, revealing the golden flesh inside, ignoring the steaming, and took a bite carefully, the sweet taste instantly spread between her lips and teeth, making her squint her eyes happily.
"If you like to eat, come back often." Xue Jinyi smiled.
The little maid looked at Xue Jinyi and felt that Miss Jin had really become easy to get along with, and she was a very gentle and kind person!
"Well, thank you!" The little maid held the red lotus and happily left the broken courtyard.
Mama Yao pouted, "That's a rough maid in Madame's yard, what are you doing to her so well, Miss?" ”
"Don't take the good for nothing."
For Xue Jinyi, who came to this strange time and space, it will never be too little to make good friends, maybe the little characters will come in handy in the future?
She picked up the sweet soup, stirred it a few times with a spoon, smelled the sweetness of red dates and other things, and didn't move, and waited until Caiyun came back humming a little song, and pushed the sweet soup in front of her, "I specially left a bowl for you to eat." ”
"I'd like to eat your noodles even more......" Caiyun muttered, but still finished the sweet soup in one go.
"Why are you only coming back now?" Xue Jinyi asked seemingly casually, "It's fun chatting with the little sisters, right?" ”
"What's there to be happy about?" Caiyun rolled her eyes, "I heard that the lady of the Ministry of Rites is coming to the Guogong Mansion today, but I happened to meet our porridge shed on the way and was startled, causing me to feel unwell, so I didn't come." Everyone's going to have a game for nothing......"
"Mrs. Lady of the Ministry of Rites?" Xue Jinyi interrupted her words and asked puzzledly, "Why did she come from outside the city?" ”
"Because there are many green mountains and green waters outside the city, and it is comfortable to live, Mrs. Shangshu has been living in her own village." Caiyun walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, "I came here today, Mrs. wanted to discuss Miss Fang's marriage ceremony with her, after all, Grandpa Guo is not at home, and some places can only talk to Mrs. Shangshu and the Ministry of Rites to see if they can arrange ......"
Xue Jinyi didn't care about the chatter behind Caiyun, she was thinking about one thing-Mrs. Shangshu would come to the Weiguo Mansion today, I'm afraid it was deliberately arranged, right?
