Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Even if one thing is done in a subtle way, it will leave more or less traces in the air.Although the servants of Shao's mansion have been employed for a short time, it is not enough that they do not even know who is going to marry the young master of the mansion in three days.

This situation did occur again.

Then there is only one reason left - the Shao mansion intentionally concealed the identity of the bride.

Lou Jingmo said: "The Shao family looks magnificent, but they are actually just merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, with a very low status."

At the end of ancient scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, the Shao family was such a family with no wealth and no background. However, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River was far away from the emperor, and the Shao family had enough wealth to gain a firm foothold.

For this small town, the marriage of the young master of the Shao family is big news. It stands to reason that who the bride is and what her identity and background should have been cleared up long ago. In the process of communicating with the outside world, you should also be able to learn something.

Unless people outside don't even know that a happy event in the Shao Mansion is approaching.

The two chatted for a while, and soon came to the kitchen door.

The servants are not worthy to eat at the same table as the master. There is a special table reserved for them in a small corner of the kitchen. The leftover dishes of the masters will be rewarded to the servants, and then the servants will peel off layer by layer. When they arrived at their place, there was only a little soup left.

Although Shen Maomao is not picky about food, but after all, he is a bit disgusted with the messy leftovers picked up by the servants, but they don't have the conditions to cook by themselves here, so they can only make do with their work and chew a few bites of rough bean cakes .

The taste is indeed difficult for modern people to describe. When swallowing, the wheat husks were not picked clean and scratched the throat, but it is still within the tolerable range.

After eating for a while, the men who went to hang the lanterns also came in groups.

The npc who led the way lit an oil lamp, and the kitchen suddenly became much brighter.He put the lamp in the middle of the table, and said: "Eat quickly, go to bed early after eating, there are other tasks to do tomorrow morning, remember to blow out the lamp after eating, and leave the dishes in the kitchen for tomorrow morning to wash." Just back out.

Shen Maomao lay down on Lou Jingmo's body, and said wearily: "I'm three years old, I'm so tired..."

Cheng Rui took a piece of bean cake for himself, looked around and asked strangely: "Where is Zhai Yiqiao? Dead?"

Hearing this, the newcomer Tang Lusen frowned, glanced at him, and quickly looked away.

Potato Chips replied: "She hugged the NPC's thigh, and went to drink spicy food."

"I underestimated her." As he spoke, Cheng Rui took a bite of the pancake, and immediately showed an indescribable expression, but he still chewed and swallowed the food.

Tang Lusen and Jiang You also looked disgusted, but they were not as confused as the golden retriever. Seeing that the people around them were hardworking, they suppressed their complaints and swallowed them together with bean cakes.

After a while, Su Han stood up and looked at the other four girls: "I'm done eating, do you want to go?"

Before the four of them could express their opinions, Cheng Rui stopped over there and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush away, since there are no npcs now, why don't you talk about your work today?"

Another man also said: "Yes, relying on our own efforts to complete the dungeon is obviously not as fast as everyone working together. We didn't have any major events today, but we heard from the npc who led us that the Shao family suddenly became rich 20 years ago. Yes, the Patriarch of the Shao family eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and doesn't care much about his business, but the wealth just keeps flowing into his pocket..."

The person who spoke claimed to be Zhang Paohui, who looked to be in his 20s, with a pair of slender eyes, and used both hands and mouth when speaking. Master Shao, the pillar of the family, passed away, and it stands to reason that he is still in the filial piety period, why is this Young Master Shao planning to get married??"

The news of Master Shao's death was quite useful, but they didn't collect it.

Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, they finished the news directly, and it was too late for the five women to cover their ears.Su Han looked around, and after harvesting the nods of Lou Jingmo and Potato Chips, he told about the well.

The men's expressions were different for a moment, after all, this was a taboo that directly raised their survival rate, which was much more useful than what Zhang Paohui said.

Only Yun Shengjin kept eating with his head down, making people wonder if his food was different from other people's.

Cheng Rui smiled softly, and politely thanked the five women: "Thank you for the information you provided, it is very useful."

Su Han nodded indifferently, and then asked again: "Are you leaving?"

Milk tea said: "Let's wait for them? It's safer for everyone to go together..."

Su Han looked at Shen Maomao and Lou Jingmo again: "What about you?"

Lou Jingmo stood up: "Let's go."

Shen Maomao quickly followed and stood up.

Milk tea felt that Su Han was trying to save face on purpose, so she couldn't help but clenched her lower lip when she heard this.

Potato Chip quickly pulled her to stand up: "Then let's go too, it's no fun to go with a group of men."

Although there are many people, it is safer from the standpoint, but in case of any accident, the two weak girls will definitely be the first to be pushed out to block the knife, compared to Lou Jing who is also a woman Mo Shenmao Su Han's side is safer.

The five women left the kitchen, it was completely dark outside.All the lanterns in the Shao Mansion were lit, making the ground glow red, and covering the people walking under the lamps with a layer of blood-colored tulle.

The night wind was blowing, and the lantern tassels fluttered with the wind. From time to time, two unknown birds' calls could be heard from the shadow of the rockery in the distant study house, which made Shen Maomao, who had just stepped out of the gate, shiver greatly.

At night, Shao's Mansion is like a cemetery built in the suburbs. Walking in it, apart from their footsteps, the only sound they can hear is the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind, and the sound of two lanterns colliding close together.

Milk Tea was a little scared, she grabbed Potato Chip's arm, walked forward with her neck stuck, and whispered to the people around: "Why is it so cold..."

Su Han interrupted her suddenly, with a low and serious voice: "Don't talk, go quickly, and don't look back."

Milk Tea's eyes widened, and she shivered greatly, almost crying out of her fright.

Shen Maomao was also scared, but more surprised.Su Han seemed to know something, or rather... noticed something.

The five people quickened their pace and walked silently under the red lantern.

The kitchen is half a lake away from where they live. Along the way, you can see many buildings with lights on, but no one can be seen on the paper windows of these buildings, and there is no one in the house.

Why so many lights?

Shen Maomao was a little puzzled.

Is it rich to burn?

Not long after, the few of them finally returned to the hut where the servants lived, in the farthest corner of the Shao Mansion.In addition to them, there are other servants' rooms here, men on the left and women on the right, arranged in two neat rows.

Their room is on the first row.

At this time, the lights in the other rooms except the player's room were on, making the yard as bright as day, but there was no movement in the room, as if they were already asleep.

Su Han pushed open the door, glanced at the window sill by the light outside, and asked strangely, "Why don't we have lights?"

In the entire mansion of the Shao Mansion, no matter the master or the servant, as long as there is someone in the room, a lamp or a candle must be lit inside.

Along the way, even Shen Maomao can understand this, and everyone naturally understands the importance of lighting.

The most taboo thing in the game is to be different, and being different means that you are more likely to be noticed by ghosts and ghosts, and it is easier to violate taboos.

Lou Jingmo thought for a while, and said, "Go and borrow one." After speaking, he went to the room next door to them, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

There was no sound from the door.Like no one was there at all.

Lou Jingmo tentatively stretched out his hand and pushed, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

There are people inside.

Shen Maomao thought for a while, grabbed Lou Jingmo's hand that was about to knock on the door again, and whispered: "Excuse me, we are new maids, and I forgot to prepare lights in the room, and I want to ask if you have any extra, first Lend us one for use..."

A figure was reflected in the window, and then there was the sound of walking.

Lou Jingmo stretched his arms to protect Shen Maomao and took a step back, followed by potato chips and milk tea.

The door was opened a crack, a woman poked her head out and whispered, "Did you forget to prepare an oil lamp for you? I still have a spare lamp here, you can use it first..."

As he spoke, he handed out a lighted oil lamp through the crack of the door. There was still a lot of oil in the lamp socket, and he didn't know if he could last the whole night.

The woman said: "Go back quickly, and don't knock on other people's doors at night." After finishing speaking, she closed the door without caring about the reactions of the people outside.

Shen Maomao held the lampstand and thanked him through the doorway.

The five of them carefully protected the flames and returned to the house. Su Han, who walked last, closed the door, nervously checked the gaps in the windows, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Maomao put the lampstand in front of the window, and the small room was illuminated by the flame the size of a grain of rice.

Without waiting for them to ask, Su Han explained: "When I went out, I met the young master of the Shao Mansion, and he took me to play with him for a while. As a reward, he told me to go back to the room as soon as possible after dark. The doors and windows must be closed tightly."

Shen Maomao elbowed Lou Jingmo: "Your ability to collect information is not good."

Lou Jingmo gave her a blank look.

Su Han said: "There is also the sound, it's best not to talk, don't make any noise, you don't snore when you sleep, right?"

All four shook their heads.

"That's fine." Su Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go to bed quickly, if you have something to say, you can leave it until dawn..."

Before the words fell, the milk tea next to him suddenly said: "Wait a minute...wouldn't it be a little unsafe to put the lamp next to the window? What if the window is blown open by the wind..."

Su Han said: "I have closed the window tightly, and the problem you are worried about will not arise."

Milk Tea opened her mouth, looked at the oil lamp and didn't know what she was thinking, but finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

The author has something to say: Kiss everywhere is really nice!
