Red apricots make spring

Chapter 49 Misunderstood Again
The two walked through a street in silence, turned into an alley, and then both breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that there was no one around, and wanted to speak, but they spoke at the same time, neither of them heard clearly, and they didn't realize They looked at each other and smiled again.

"I was almost scared to death just now!" Xiaohuan stroked his chest, still lingering.Since yesterday's incident, she has been looking haggard, and she has completely lost her anger. Unexpectedly, after being frightened just now, she regained a little bit of her former vivacity, and said to Rourou: "Sister, what they are looking for is Isn't it me? I didn't see the portrait clearly, I just glanced at it, and I don't think it looks like it."

Wen Rou said with a funny smile: "Naturally not! How about we still stand here and talk properly? But I think the person they are looking for is you, the hair style and clothes are all similar, even the silver earrings you wear every day Ding Xiang looks alike, but it’s just that she doesn’t look like a human being.” She couldn’t help laughing and said, “You don’t know that at first I was so scared that my legs went limp, but after seeing the portrait clearly, I really wanted to laugh, but I didn’t dare, I held back Work hard!" The portrait doesn't look like that, but the person in the painting still has a big face, small eyes, and a bulbous nose. It is estimated that there is no one out of a thousand people who can pick out such an ugly one.

Hearing the words, Xiaohuan pushed Rourou angrily and said: "Sister, you didn't warn me beforehand when you saw that the painting didn't look like it, it scared me half to death, and I was completely sober."

"Those two officials stared straight at me. In that situation, how dare I remind you!" Rourou couldn't help scraping her nose with her hand, and said angrily: "Besides, let you be in Zhiweizhai Waiting for us to come, you are fine, you actually downed three jugs of wine in one go! I got stuck and went late, and you are almost sober. If you go early, do you have to hire two people to carry you? go back?"

"I..." Xiaohuan lowered her head, rubbed the hem of her clothes and said, "I'm afraid by myself, thinking that wine can strengthen your courage and forget your worries, so..."

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried about you." Wen Rou interrupted her, and walked forward slowly with her.

After the adventure, Xiaohuan was sobered up from the wine, and her sanity was much clearer. At this moment, she remembered something important, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, why are you looking for me? Did you come out after redeeming yourself? Where is my mother? Where is she?"

"Your mother has something to do, let me come to you first." On the street, Ruan didn't dare to tell Xiaohuan about Mrs. Liu, if she got impulsive and did something stupid, wouldn't it be another one?I had no choice but to perfuse her with words first, and wait until I go back to talk, so I forced a smile: "I redeemed myself and came out, and the two of us can be together again from now on."

"That's great." Xiaohuan was genuinely happy for Wen Rou, but when she thought of what happened to her, she felt sad again.

Wenrou was afraid that she would think too much, and she would turn back to that dumb, silent look, which would make people feel distressed, so she quickly distracted her mind and said, "I'm just wondering why the portrait is so complete. Not like you."

Xiaohuan lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "I don't know, the painters hired by the government must be too bad, so naturally they can't paint well."

Rourou has been in this world for a while, and she knew that such maids who sold themselves as such have no household registration, and only leave their name and age on the property list of the master's house. If they escape, the mansion will definitely send Personally go to the government office to prepare a report, describe the appearance and characteristics of the escaped person in detail, and then ask an artist to draw a portrait that can be wanted.Although it can't be as realistic as modern photography technology, the general face shape and facial features should still be somewhat similar, so it won't be so outrageously bad.So she thought about it, and couldn't figure out why Xiaohuan's portrait looked so different, so she could only guess secretly, could it be that the Su family and the Li family were fighting secretly, so that people could not find Xiaohuan?
Guess is so guessed, Rourou herself doesn't believe that Su would go through such a lot of trouble for a little maid who escaped, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart, and said with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law Liu was kind enough to pretend to be a man for you."

"Yes, mother is very careful." Xiaohuan touched his pierced ears as he spoke, and then said in fear, "Fortunately, they didn't find out that my pierced ears were pierced, otherwise it would be a disaster."

He must have escaped from the Zhao Mansion, so there is no need to touch the scene, not to mention that the atmosphere outside the mansion is relaxed and free, not as cautious as inside the mansion. Although Xiaohuan's expression is still very gloomy, she is still young after all, can withstand setbacks, and has a lively nature. Ken said a few more words, and said again: "Sister, do you know how I escaped from the mansion?"

Gentlely shook her head, to be honest, she has always wanted to know this question.Although Mrs. Liu has been in the mansion for a long time and is familiar with the servants, it might not be easy to bribe someone to release Xiaohuan from the mansion, right?No one dares to bear such a big relationship!
"My mother actually figured out how to hide me in the water truck and get out of the house!" Xiaohuan frowned and said, "She said she wanted to hide me in the dung truck, but it was too dirty and smelly. Afraid that I couldn't take it anymore, she thought about it, and remembered that every morning before dawn, someone would always drive a water truck into the mansion. The buckets on the car were filled with mountain spring water outside the city, and they were preparing to cook porridge and tea for the master's family. Because the car came and went every day, and no one checked it carefully, she bribed the driver and brought me out."

When Xiaohuan said this, Wen Rou remembered that every day someone would bring two buckets of water to Zhao Yan's yard, saying that the water was for the girl to make tea. She had tasted it and the water quality was better than ordinary The well water is much clearer and sweeter. I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to come up with the idea of ​​delivering the water truck, and she couldn't help sighing, "It would be great if she hid in the water truck with you and escaped."

"That car can only hide one person. Mother said that she will sneak out of the house after dawn, so teach me not to worry." Xiaohuan said, a little suspicious in her heart: "Could it be that my mother didn't come out?"

Rourou was speechless by her question, and didn't know how to answer for a while, just at the moment when she had reached the alley where the house she rented was located, so she hurriedly walked into the alley with Xiaohuan, saying: "I'm here We rented a house, let's go in and talk."

Seeing Ruan Rou avoiding her question and not answering her questions, Xiaohuan immediately had a bad premonition in her heart. She felt her chest was tight and panicked, so she could only bear with it at the moment, quietly followed Ruan Rou, and walked into the alley.

When she got to the door of the rented house, Rou Rou went up to unlock it.The old widow who lived next door didn't know if she had been guarding the door to listen to the movement outside, but she opened the door quickly, stood by the door, and yelled at Wen Rou: "The deposit! You haven't paid enough yet!"

"Ah——" Ruan Wen was taken aback by her loud voice, smiled helplessly, counted the copper coins in his arms, handed them to her and said, "Is this enough?"

The old widow counted the money in her hand twice, then nodded in satisfaction and said: "Enough is enough." But when she raised her head and saw Xiaohuan following Wenrou, she couldn't help blinking again, and said in surprise: "Why is she a girl again?"

This look is really poisonous!The gentle black line said: "What's wrong with my daughter? Mother-in-law, this is my cousin, she will live in your room from now on, please take care of her more."

The old widow blinked, and said resentfully: "I thought you eloped and brought a man home! What are the two girls doing so covertly?"

What she said made Xiaohuan speechless, tender and dumbfounded.No wonder she answered her own words so smoothly before, and promised not to go around and gossip!Dare to misunderstand again!
