Chapter 401 Little Kumquat
Ruan Mingzi thought about it a little bit and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Like the little maid who had her horns just now, she probably hadn't been waiting for her, and her clothes looked a little gray.
Ruan Mingzi sighed in her heart that the high-ranking families from the capital are different. The rules are so strict that even the maids have regular rules for their uniforms.
Seeing Ruan Mingzi's thoughtful look, the little maid was so nervous that she was about to cry: "I...I..."
Ruan Mingzi wrapped her cloak again and laughed: "It's okay, you can lead the way."
The little maid Luo Wen was like Meng Dahe, and looked at Ruan Mingzi with gratitude and hurriedly made Ruan Mingzi come to the fore.
The little maid was obviously very nervous. Although she was whispering to Ruan Mingzi along the way, she spoke in a stuttering way. The more she spoke, the more nervous she became, the more she became, the more she became, and in the end she looked like she was about to cry.
Ruan Mingzi didn't say much. Although she didn't mind, this little girl was from the Ningxi Marquis' Mansion. In the future, she would have to get used to it.
As a third-class maid, your business abilities can be further tempered.
It was not until I got down the corridor that the little maid seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the sweat oozing from her forehead was about to flow down.
Ruan Mingzi said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work."
The little maid Luo Wen said in panic: "Where is Miss Ruan? She is a servant... I am not skilled yet."
Ruan Mingzi smiled and said nothing.
After passing through the corridor, there is a dense forest path in the rockery garden. Because it was winter, it fell again a few days ago. The gardener in this garden ingeniously decorated the snow on the branches into clusters of flowers. Walking along the way, it was like strolling under the ice flowers in the ice and snow world.
However, after passing this dense forest path, the path ahead was divided into three parts.
Luo Wen paused for a moment at the intersection of the three forks and turned to the left.
Ruan Mingzi frowned slightly and called Luo Wen: "Wait, have you led the wrong way?"
She has a very good memory. The last time she came to the Marquis’ study, it was clearly the one on the right.
Luo Wen paused slightly, turned around and smiled at Ruan Mingzi with a hurried slight smile: "...Miss Ruan, the Marquis and the others are discussing matters, so... let you go to the yard next to you for a while."
The guard who had passed the message did say so.
Ruan Mingzi nodded, "So that's it." He said nothing, and followed Luo Wen onto the path on the left.
This sloppy path is covered with pebbles, turning left and right, with winding paths that are secluded. Soon, you will arrive at a small yard.
In this small yard, there is no tree with good meanings such as crabapple pomegranates that ordinary people like to plant. Instead, a huge banyan tree was planted. Because it was winter, most of the leaves fell and the branches were filled with snow. At first glance, it looked like a snow-white crown.
Ruan Mingzi paused slightly.
Seeing this banyan tree, she couldn't help but think of the perverted Cheng Wu's water prison on the side of the Cheng family's house.
Ruan Mingzi paused in front of the gonghuamen in the courtyard before entering the courtyard.
The courtyard was very quiet. Apart from the huge banyan tree and there were no other green plants. The ground was clean and there were no fallen leaves.
Luo Wen opened the door of the main house for Ruan Mingzi.
The room had already lit a stove, and some warm air waves were gently rushing toward her face.
The rich silk auspicious beast was inlaid with red stone smoke, and a faint smoke rose, making the room full of a warm fragrance.
Luo Wen diligently invited Ruan Mingzi and Ajiao into the house.
Ruan Mingzi fell down, looked at Ajiao, and then looked at the fumigation furnace with red stone placed on the small table.
Ajiao shook his head slightly at her almost invisible.
Ruan Mingzi felt relieved.
Luo Wen was very attentive, with extremely fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. She brought them over and placed them on the small table next to Ruan Mingzi, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Ruan is waiting here. See if there is anything else to need, just tell me."
Ruan Mingzi looked at the round and cute little kumquat in the fruit plate, picked one and played with it in her hand, and smiled and said, "No, this is pretty good."
She paused and said, "If Miss Luo Wen has something to do, just go and do it. We can wait here."
Although the inner courtyard is very quiet, the Ningxi Marquis Mansion also plans to move the mansion. If there is something wrong with others, it will not be bad if it is delayed.
Luo Wen hurriedly bent her knees and bent her legs, saying, "That servant will go down first. If Miss Ruan has any instructions, just shout, there are servants waiting in this small courtyard."
Ruan Mingzi responded, Luo Wen was blessed again, and then she stepped down.
Only Ruan Mingzi and Ajiao were left in the room with incense.
Ruan Mingzi was bored and there was no need to peel the little kumquat. After eating a little kumquat, she thought it tasted good. When she picked up the second one and played with it, her hand suddenly stopped and found something wrong.
She calmly put down the little kumquat in her hand, picked up another one, and turned it gently in her hand, and then discovered something.
After a pause, she put down the third little kumquat in her hand and picked up the fourth one.
However, the result is the same as the previous two.
Ruan Mingzi frowned slightly, remembering that Luo Wen had said that there were servants serving in the yard before, she paused and shouted slightly: "Is anyone?"
No one answered.
Ruan Mingzi's heart sank.
She suddenly stood up and approached Ajiao, who subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Ruan Mingzi pressed Ajiao back into the chair, put his hand on his shoulder, and leaned on his shoulder, which looked like an extremely intimate action.
He was probably shocked, and even the usual expressionless expression on his face became a little dull, so that his face looked a little dumb.
The side-selling Ruan Mingzi was still approaching him.
Ajiao's ears were red and his body became stiff.
Pansheng did not refuse Ruan Mingzi, but just watched her approaching.
The voice was also tense and at a loss: "You..."
Ruan Mingzi leaned into Ajiao's ear and whispered: "...Can you find out that there are people in this yard now?"
Ajiao's body was so stiff that it was almost stone. After a while, he spit out a few words from his teeth: "Sit down, two."
After a pause, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Get up."
Ruan Mingzi remained indifferent, holding her hand on Ajiao's shoulder and leaning against Ajiao's ear, "I'm afraid they will hear it when I get up and talk... I said that, I quickly finished. There were needle holes on the little kumquat, which were almost invisible. If I hadn't kept holding it in my hand and playing with it, I wouldn't have found it."
Ajiao paused, pursed his lips, and silently picked up a small kumquat from the fruit plate, and took it in his hand for a moment.
Sure enough, there was a small thin needle hole.
If the little needle eye had not been observed carefully by Ruan Mingzi, it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover it.
Ajiao's already cold expression became even colder.
