Daughter Raiders

Chapter 169
After returning from a horse walk outside the city, Mu Huan practiced boxing and kicking for more than half an hour, picked up the sweat towel on the long bench beside the martial arts field, wiped his sweat and went back to his small courtyard; only then did he hear the courtyard door creak. When it opened, his eldest maid, Mallow, came out with a smile on her face. She first took the sweat towel in his hand, and then shouted to the boys to fetch water: "The water is already boiled, young master, go and wash it." Bar."

Mu Huan hummed, then walked towards the main room with big strides, turned into the clean room after turning three times and five times, left the mallow far behind, leaned slightly but backed out again: "Mallow, you put my Put away all the middle clothes for me, so I can take them into the clean room."

The smile on Mallow's face froze suddenly.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my young master recently. She seems to have changed since the end of last year. She is not allowed to serve him personally, put on shoes and hats, let alone take a shower in the clean room. Wiping his back, his voice immediately came from inside with a little irritability, nothing more than two words, no need.

If it is said that the young master grows up and knows to be ashamed, whose master doesn't have two maids to take care of him personally, shyness is also rewarding, isn't it?She has been serving the young master since he was six or seven years old, so she is not considered an outsider!

When she was in a daze, Mallow saw a figure flashing past her side, and upon closer inspection it was Ding Xiang. Wasn't the pile of clothes that Ding Xiang was holding in her hand exactly what the young master wanted for a change of clothes?
Mallow immediately grimaced.

Although Ding Xiang is also the big maid in the Swiss courtyard, they both perform their own duties. Ding Xiang is in charge of the internal affairs of the courtyard, welcoming and sending off, and she is in charge of the young master's personal service, daily life, food and clothing. But the hooves robbed her of her work. Is this a slap in the face?
Mu Huan didn't care who sent the clothes, as long as there were clothes to exchange for.Not to mention that he was about to leave for Liaodong in the day after tomorrow, and he didn't plan to take any of these two maids with him, so it didn't matter if he fooled around for three or two days.

Ding Xiang smiled lightly and glanced at Mallow. She didn't care how upset Mallow was at all, and followed to the door of the clean room. She kept laughing and said, "I'm going to wipe my back for the young master, and I stretched out my hand to push the clean door, but the door was closed. It was bolted inside by Mu Huan...

Mallow withdrew her lips and walked out, moved a little scorpion to sit on the threshold of the hall, picked up the needlework she had been doing before, and sneered while grabbing the end of the thread: "Some people are so funny, waiter I have been with the young master for several years, although she has the name of a maidservant, she has never served her personally, and now that she is about to leave, she is rushing to show her courteousness, but I don't know that the young master has no intention of taking her with him at all."

Ding Xiang was walking out with a smile on her face, and when she arrived in the hall, she naturally heard what Mallow said to her on purpose, and the smile immediately turned into a half-smile, and she was not angry: "We are each other, the crow falls on the pig Don't think anyone is black. If the young master doesn't take me with him, he will leave me to watch the yard for him. "

The sneer on Mallow's face intensified.Ding Xiang is a joke. Although she has served the young master personally for several years, she is still dispensable now?

"Why, am I wrong?" Ding Xiang stood tall and asked Mallow with a condescending smile.

She was given to the Young Master by Mrs. Hou Ye, so it is only natural for the Young Master not to take her with her. Even if all the servants in the Mu Mansion laughed at her, she would not feel ashamed. Who told Mrs. Hou Ye and Mrs. Shizi that they were not in harmony? , This is something that everyone in the family knows.

Mallow was given by Mrs. Shizi. Since she entered the courtyard, she has been taking care of the young master's daily life. Now she is thrown away like a rag. How dare you laugh at her?

Mallow raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Master, you can't take a maid with you when you join the army. This is something that even a horse in Mu's mansion can figure out with its hooves. You need to remind me of each other?"

"I've been doing what I should do all the time. It's not like some people who are afraid of guarding a yard empty from now on, and grass grows in their hearts. Seeing that the young master is getting older now, he always wants to sharpen his head Drilling into the clean room, and don't see if that's what she should do."

It is her duty to serve the young master personally. She has never been full of unreasonable thoughts like some people. As for what the future will look like, it all depends on the young master's words. It doesn't matter, she doesn't care, who told her to be born a slave?Whether it is life or death depends entirely on the master's pleasure!

The smile on Ding Xiang's face immediately turned into embarrassment, and she wanted to refute, but she had nothing to say—indeed, she thought she had a chance since she beat the young master without mallow's personal service, but who knew that the young master didn't only hate Jin Aoi, it turns out that all the maids don't even want to get close!

You must know that the young master is only twelve years old this year, and if two years pass, he will become more sensible, why not treat her like a thorn in his side? !If things go on like this, not to mention Mrs. Hou thinks she is useless, even she herself has to worry about her own future!
Mallow is a person who has something to say, and never cares about what others think when they hear her words; seeing that Dingxiang was stabbed in the heart by her few words, she became happy, so she stopped pushing her. After tearing up the work in his hand, he calmed down, threaded his needle and thread in front of the light and shadow, and concentrated on putting away the tabby sock in his hand.

The young master is going to join the army. This is a matter that has been decided since last year. Since last year, Shizi's wife has also ordered the sewing room to make more underwear and socks for the young master. Now the bag is full, and it seems that she is not bad for it. Such a little needlework.

But who told her to get used to these things, the young master also likes to wear the socks she made, saying that they fit her feet well?After finishing the pair in hand and the ones I made before, I managed to make up twenty pairs. Although the young master is a martial arts practitioner, twenty pairs of socks can be worn for at most two months, but it is better than nothing.

"Is Sister Dingxiang there?" Dingxiang was standing beside Mallow and sulked, when she heard a servant calling from the courtyard gate.

She hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out, and seeing that it was Siming, the book boy next to Master Hou, she quickly walked out to meet him; when Siming heard that Master Hou had asked him to come to find the Fourth Young Master, she smiled and told him to go back first: " ... The young master is cleaning the room, I will call him when he comes out."

Siming responded swiftly and ran away, not allowing Ding Xiang to inquire any more. She sighed helplessly, turned around and went back to the hall, but she was full of resentment, complaining that her mother and I should not have agreed to send him off. She came to serve the fourth young master - the famous head maid who came out of the young master's yard. It sounds very respectable, and she may climb further in the future, but who knew the fourth young master had such a temperament? !
But then I thought that the son joined the army early in the year, so he delayed marrying his wife and entering the house. At that time, there was a melee on the northeast border. In order not to delay the reproduction of the offspring, he was forced by Lord Hou and his wife to take two maids with him. In the army, it turned out that the two servant girls gave birth to the eldest son and the second son successively for the son. After the wife of the son entered the door for a year, they carried the two of them to the aunt, and Ding Xiang calmed down and looked up. Having come out of the clean room, he told Siming what he had come to invite.

When Mu Huan frowned, he remembered what Tao Ran told him a few days ago, saying that her grandfather might send someone to invite him in a few days...

At that time, he thought she was just trying to comfort him, and he was not sure what to do; but today, early in the morning, his grandfather sent Siming to call him. Could it be that Su Shangshu really got news?

　Mu Huan has also grown up and knows how to avoid suspicion :)
