Lin Shiyi sighed slowly. It's a pity that he took his chopsticks to poke the tender meat of the steamed chicken. "It's a pity that I've lost my interest in this matter."

"What are you worried about?" Xue xingrou asked, looking at Lin Shiyi's silent look, there was some worry in her eyebrows.

Lin Shiyi waved his hand and thought deeply.

Yan son has been cleverly holding chopsticks, carefully picking up a cloth dish for Lin, in the heart of nahan.

I think the women's family members in the state capital are always arrogant and domineering, but she has thick hands and feet, and can't do fine work, so she has been doing chores and sweeping the floor in the back all the time. Those powerful maids all go to serve the concubines in the state capital.

Lin Shi raises an eye, the canthus of the eye passes a smile, pressed the hand of Yan Er, "you eat yourself, don't help me cloth dish."

"Dare to ask, girl, what does the person you met yesterday look like?" Yan son this just open mouth, voice Nuo Nuo, still with a bit of panic, it seems that others a loud talk, she will take the road to escape the general timidity.

Lin Shiyi pondered for a moment, not remembering the color of the feathers on the maid's head and the clothes she was wearing. Her greatest impression on her was the tenderness in her words and the insipidity in her eyebrows.

"I don't quite understand. I'm a very gentle person. Compared with you It's not that strange. "

After all, as long as the maids here don't speak dialect, they always feel dry and stiff, sometimes speaking the wrong tune.

Yan son listens to this words, one hand holds cheek, side head, seem to be thinking what.

After a moment of silence, he said happily, "those who speak clearly What the girl wants to talk about is a small molestation. "

"Who's the slut?"

Lin Shi and Xue xingrou asked in one voice.

Yan son literacy, not in a hurry with a little tea, in the sandalwood table painted such a word.

Xue xingrou was surprised and frowned. "When I first came here, Wuchen gave me the list of maids in the mansion. I read it up and down several times to remember everyone, but I didn't see the name of Xiaotan."

"Xiaotan left long ago." Yan'er hung the curtain and said in a low voice, "I'm a poor man."

"But since she had already left, why did she suddenly appear in the state capital?" Lin Shi's eyes were solemn, and there was seriousness in his words.

Yan'er shakes her head. It seems that she likes Xiaotan very much in her heart. She sighs. Her round eyes are covered with thick black eyebrows. She looks innocent and kind-hearted.

Therefore, she was not aware of Lin Shiyi's vigilance and did not know the whole story.

"Maybe the housekeeper's mother has brought her back to work. After all, the Lord is no longer here."

Lin Shiyi and Xue xingrou look at each other. This time, even Xue xingrou faintly feels that this small molestation is not simple.

She coughed lightly, and said, "if so, why do you say that Xiao Mu is a poor man?"

"When Xiaotan was in the state capital, she served the fifth lady. The fifth lady was not from here. She was brought back by the adults when they went out, so she couldn't speak the dialect here. Xiaotan understood what she said, so she stayed to serve her. It was said that one day when the adults went to see the fifth lady, they would let Xiaotan be their concubine. Xiaotan would rather die than follow But later, his wife was not happy and beat him away. "

Lin Shiyi recalled the maid's face in his mind. It's not surprising why Zhou Mu was like this.

Yan'er said that, and then sighed, and then in a stiff tone, also with a bit of indignation, "Xiaotan has no parents, after leaving, went to the brother and sister-in-law's home, and later I heard others say, she went to other places."

It must not be simple.

Lin Shiyi thought of it and had already made a conclusion.

But after dinner, all the maids gathered in the front hall. Lin Shiyi followed the procession one by one. He didn't find the figure of Xiaotan. Instead, he found that there were many maids in the mansion, much more than the palace.

"Are these people from here?" She suddenly raised her eyes and asked Xue Xing about judo.

Xue xingrou smothers her eyes and touches her hair awkwardly. "Sister, I haven't asked about it yet..."

Lin Shiyi, with a smile, patted her on the shoulder and said, "it's OK. Now I've asked. You'll learn to face outsiders and it's bad for you not to ask clearly."

Then she glanced at the maid, who came forward, nodded slightly, and stammered, "girl, there are only local maidservants left here. After the war, the western regions occupied the state capital and killed the adults Then all the maidservants of the western regions left. "

"Where are you from?" Suddenly she opened her mouth and looked at the maid.

Speaking of Xiaotan, the faces of several maids changed slightly, showing a bit of sarcasm and disdain.

It seems that Xiaotan is quite excluded here.The maid was silent for a long time, and then said, "my brother and sister-in-law all live here, and she should also be a local."

Lin Shiyi looked at the maid and said no more, but he didn't believe it.

"It seems that there was traffic between the two places with the western regions in the past." Lin Shiyi nodded, light way.

It's not a small thing.

If people from the western regions were still in the city, there might be spies from the western regions.

For example, small molestates.

But she also quietly waved, hold back the maid, just waiting for he Yu Ning back to tell this matter.

But it's not a good way to wait in the government.

Lin Shiyi's heart was very complicated. She always felt that Xiaotan would not leave here. At this time, the gate of communication with the western regions was closed. She must not go back.

"Rou'er, do you want to accompany me on the street?" She found a reason to do judo with Xue Xing, who is doing needlework.

Xue xingrou can't wait to get it. She doesn't have the chance to go to the streets. This place has returned to its former vitality. At the gate of the state capital, you can often hear the cries of businessmen, who sell everything. It's like a brush, tickling her heart.

They left the state capital and headed for a busy place on the street.

The climate here is quite cool, not like the heat in the capital. Lin Shi wears a light goose yellow shirt and walks with Xue xingrou.

She found that this place was no better than other places. Perhaps many years ago, she married people from the western regions. Most of the people were similar in appearance to the people from the western regions. What's more, the hair on their heads was Li color. If they were lighter, they would be the same as Yao Guang.

Lin Shiyi thought in his heart that he wanted to take a chance to see if he could meet a little girl in the street.

Xue xingrou pulls her sleeve and points curiously to the vendor beside her. Lin Shiyi looks at the vendor and doesn't know what to buy. There are two rows of transparent small restaurants in front of her, with different colors, reflecting colorful light in the sunshine.

The boss is a man who looks like he is in his thirties. He is wearing a big coat and baggy pants. He shakes his goose feather fan and greets happily.

Looking up at Lin Shiyi and Xue xingrou, he was suddenly stunned. His dark eyes turned. It seemed that he saw money and opened his mouth with blunt words. "Hello, girls."

Lin Shiyi laughs because his words are so special that he can't help laughing.

"How do you know we're not from here?" Xue xingrou is very strange.

The boss laughed and pointed to their clothes with a goose feather fan. "Isn't this the clothes in the capital? We don't wear such skirts here. "

In this way, Lin Shiyi realized that the men and women were really different in their clothes. He had never seen them before.

Xue xingrou suddenly realized, looked down at the bottles and cans, "what are these? I can see clearly from a long distance. "

These bottles are very beautiful. They are filled with liquid or powder. They flash with unique colors.

"I write fragrance and essential oil, which can cure diseases, make you feel comfortable, have a lover, make you reunite, what kind of girl would you like?" The boss said with a big grin, waved the fan and gave a smile. His dark face showed white teeth, which was very warm.

Lin Shi's heart moved. He heard the fragrance. He looked down from the curtain and took a bottle of deep pink fragrance. It was similar to what he saw yesterday.

"The girl takes well, this fragrance can get a lover." The boss said quickly.

Lin Shiyi chuckled and naturally didn't believe what the boss said.

"It's just an aphrodisiac."

After hearing this, the boss laughed, but he was not annoyed that he had been blabbed. "What the girl said is true, but it has a unique effect."

Xue xingrou glanced at the bottle and saw that the color of the bottle was soft and beautiful, with a faint look on the tip of her brow. She was a little more eager.

Lin Shiyi saw that the color of the fragrance was quite light, not what he saw yesterday, and said, "is there anything else?"

"What else do you want, girl?"

"Do you have anything flavored with wine? I like drinking." Lin Shiyi.

The boss's face was slightly stunned, and then he began to laugh. He looked at Lin Shiyi up and down, like teasing. The corners of his mouth were wide open. "I didn't expect that the girls looked so delicate, they all like drinking."

At last, he raised his head and waved his hand, "you're not at the right time. I sold it a few days ago."

"Sold it?" Lin Shiyi was surprised, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he thought of something, "also sell it to a poor girl?"

"That girl is really pitiful. She looks weak and tender. I heard that her husband found another woman. I thought she was pitiful and gave it to her."

"Besides your family, are there other families selling these?" Lin Shiyi asked again.

"Girl, I'm joking. Now that the western regions are at war with us, the two places have not come to communicate with each other for a long time. These gadgets, though not rare, are now only available to my family! " But the boss waved his hand and looked proud.
