Finally calmed down, Zhang Xiaohan hurriedly left the confines of the large kitchen and hid directly in the shadow of a tree, she needed to calm down.
Maybe his body was stained with the smell of blood, Zhang Xiaohan regretted a little, he was too abrupt.
Looking back, no one chased in the direction of the big kitchen, and the inner courtyard was quiet, calming down, Zhang Xiaohan was careful not to make any noise, and cautiously returned to Huixiangju all the way.
The door was still open, and a little girl sat on a small stool inside the door, guarding the door.
The second lady and Steward Lin hadn't returned yet, and with a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaohan opened the door, regardless of whether the door was open and no one could be suspected if he couldn't see people coming in and out.
He put away the mask and sat down, quickly changed into clothes, rolled up the clothes that seemed to smell of blood and threw them into the cabinet, the body wrapped in white fascia, and the two abrupt soulless eyes still lingering in his mind.
It was really a flower in a greenhouse in a previous life, and then a skinned animal frightened himself into a panic, and went out in vain, only to be panicked, and did not hear any useful information for himself.
Fortunately, it didn't attract the attention of others.
After breathing for a while, my heart was still not calm, and I came to the front of the mirror, in which was a miserable white face, listening to the sound in the yard, and the little girl guarding the door was kicking something in front of the door in boredom.
No, you can't be so uncontemplative, if the second lady and Steward Lin come back at this time, if they call themselves, they will be suspicious.
Zhang Xiaohan turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, trying to run the method of Changchun Jue, the familiar comfort came to him, his nervous mood slowly relaxed, and gradually, he devoted himself to cultivation.
When the second lady and Steward Lin came back, the courtyard was quiet, except for the little girl guarding the door who was still at the door, and then the girl who was waiting above.
Both of them looked at Zhang Xiaohan's room, which was as quiet as usual, but they both knew that the person inside would not fall asleep, she must be cultivating.
"Aunt Lin, those girls outside, you say, can there be someone like you who is willing to help her mother wholeheartedly" The girls who were waiting to retreat, Zhang Xiaohui held a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and then asked.
Steward Lin is his mother's dowry, and he is of the same generation as his mother, and he is loyal to his mother and himself.
Steward Lin did not get carried away because of the second lady's name for her, in the Zhang family, the master is always the master, the slave is the slave, if it is rampant in front of the master, once it is discovered, it will either be killed, or used as hard labor, or sold to the mine as a slave.
Therefore, everyone in the Zhang family is cautious, and when Steward Lin heard the young lady's question, his eyes couldn't help but look out the window, as if he could judge whether the girls outside were loyal or not.
"Miss, there will definitely be, the slave must find a loyal slave like the slave for the miss, serve the miss, follow the miss, and let the miss feel at ease."
Steward Lin replied softly.
Zhang Xiaohui held the teacup, looked at the light smoke rising for a while, and suddenly asked: "Aunt Lin, why don't you want to be your father's concubine, the concubine is not a furnace, in the backyard, she is finally half a master, it is better than being a slave and serving people." ” In all fairness, Steward Lin is also very beautiful, and there is a slight resemblance between her mother's eyebrows and eyes, Zhang Xiaohui has never understood why Aunt Lin is unwilling to be her father's concubine.
Steward Lin sighed softly, there were some things that she had always hidden in her heart, and she didn't say it to Mrs., and she wasn't going to say it to the second miss, but the young lady asked, and Steward Lin felt that there were some things that the young lady still knew well, although, the wife would also say it, but where did the wife know clearly.
"Miss, you are also older, and you are almost at the age of marriage, there are some words, the slave and maid don't know whether to say or not, but since the wife rewarded the slave and maid to the young lady, the slave and the maid are the young lady's person, so naturally she should think about the young lady wholeheartedly."
Steward Lin stretched out his hand to refill some tea for the second miss, and said softly: "Miss, when it comes to rules, the slave maid should not discuss the issue of concubines with the young lady in private, because the young lady has not yet left the cabinet, however, the slave maid thinks that the wife has some things that are inconvenient to say to the young lady." ” Zhang Xiaohui nodded, her mother had never mentioned the concubines of the Zhang family in front of her, as if they didn't exist at all, although everyone knew that behind the inner courtyard, there was a big garden, so big, and my father and uncles often spent the night there, but no one would mention that big garden in front of the young ladies.
The family rules prohibit the women of the inner courtyard from entering the big garden, and if they can't get in, they naturally have nothing to know about the things in that garden, and if they are children, it is also unfilial to inquire about their father's concubines, whether it is a son or a daughter, the matter of the father's concubines is an inconvenient thing to talk about.
I also heard that there are such families with not very strict rules, and the sons and daughters of the family will talk about the concubines at every turn, and they will scold the words "raised by the concubines" at every turn.
But when Zhang Xiaohui asked today, she didn't see any surprised expression from Steward Lin, all because she was in Mrs.
Lin's house just now, and Mrs.
Lin had already vaguely mentioned this topic, and Steward Lin guessed that the second wife should have hinted at herself, and she would tell Miss about it when the time came.
"I also thought that my mother mentioned the girls outside today and mentioned the dowry, so there are some things to say."
Zhang Xiaohui remembered that after dinner today, her mother deliberately left herself and Steward Lin in the room, saying some considerate words, but she didn't carry Steward Lin behind her back, saying that she was older, which was a very meaningful expression.
Since the young lady has thought of it, the slave will tell the young lady about it.
Didn't the young lady ask the slave why she refused to be the master's concubine, the slave dared to ask, does the young lady know what a concubine is" For so many years, Steward Lin has never regretted her decision, although she has thought about it countless times, why she was born in the belly of the concubine, why she is not the daughter of the wife.
Zhang Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled: "This, everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but everyone knows it, concubines, in addition to the main wife, the women who wait for their husbands, they can have children like the main wife, but the children born have no name, just like the girls outside, they are also slaves." ” Saying that, he tilted his head and looked at Steward Lin: "Aunt Lin, are you because of this reason?"
Maybe it's at least, it's one of the reasons, but the more important reason is Steward Lin shook his head, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face: "Where is it like Miss said it so lightly."
Miss, the concubine said it nicely, but actually" Steward Lin hesitated for a while, but lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Xiaohui, only to see Zhang Xiaohui's eyes becoming more and more surprised. t1706231537:
