Chapter 290 Imprisoned in the deep house compound

The next morning, the sky was light and Dugu Jialuo got up and neatly prepared the bed. When the pearls outside heard the noise, he came in and said ashamed: "I slept a little deeper! I'll make hot water for the girl now, and ask the girl to wait!"

As he said that, he ran out.

Dugu Jialuo looked at the back of the pearl and sighed slightly. The girl didn't believe that she had become a slave to the Duke's Mansion.

In front of the mirror, I combed my hair, tied a cicada bun, and tied only two strips of cloth. All the jewelry was not used and placed neatly in the jewelry box.

Clothes, she picked up a simple short jacket and skirt, and prepared to talk to Zhenzhu for a while, and borrowed her maid's old clothes for her, saying that she was a maid who was a needle and threading maid, and she didn't know where to work. She said that she was in a daze yesterday and forgot that she knew nothing about needle and threading.

Pearl brought back hot water and saw Dugu Jialuo's bun. She was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and then heard Dugu Jialuo say, "Pearl, do you have old clothes to lend me all your clothes?"

Pearl said: "There are old clothes, but how can a girl wear the clothes of a servant?"

In Zhenzhu's eyes, he felt that it must be that a girl made the prince unhappy in the study yesterday. However, when it comes to selling herself, slaves, etc., Zhenzhu only thought it was an angry word between Miss Shen and her master, and she didn't believe it.

Pearl was hesitating, Qiutan came in with cold air, followed by Linglong, and the two of them saw Dugu Jialuo's cicada bun. Qiutan said with a smile on his lips: "Dugu Jialuo, the Duke of the Kingdom of China gave an order today to follow me to familiarize themselves with the various parts of the mansion, and to know the way to run errands in the future!"

Qiu Tan entered the wing room and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Pearl, teach Dugu Jialuo how to clean up this room. Come and check it after I have used breakfast!"

Seeing Dugu Jialuo standing upright there with no squint, he was disdainful, and became a slave in the Duke's Mansion and still wanted to hold the lady's airs? He chuckled and said, "Oh, I forgot that the servant's room is full, and there is no bed. Dugu Jialuo, I'll work on the floor in my room these two nights!"

Dugu Jialuo knew that Qiutan had never liked her. As soon as she woke up on the first day, she tripped her up and was unwilling to pay attention to Qiutan's words. She just did needlework and did not sell herself to the Yang Mansion!

Qiutan sneaked out as Yang Jian left. Cai’s mother didn’t know and didn’t dare to stay for a while. Yaowu and Yangwu said a few words, then took Linglong away with her arrogantly.

Only then did Pearl react and exclaimed: "Miss, have you really become a glance at me?"

Seeing Dugu Jialuo nodding with a smile, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Girl, why are you so stupid? Go and say a few good things to the Duke..."

Dugu Jialuo held Zhenzhu's shoulders and comforted him: "Zezhu, don't be anxious, it's okay, I'll be able to go home when my family comes to pick me up!"

Dugu Jialuo and Zhenzhu went to the kitchen to use breakfast. As soon as they cleaned up the dishes, Qiutan came over and said, "The old lady called me over just now. Zhenzhu, you take Dugu Jialuo to go around everywhere!"

Pearl responded in a low voice.

Qiutan walked past Dugu Jialuo in a big way. The room where the servants had a meal was in the inner room of the kitchen, a table was used for side dishes on weekdays, but it was not big. Jialuo stood by the long bench and couldn't avoid it. Qiutan's toes kicked Dugu Jialuo's ankle badly, but he walked with his head raised as if he was unaware.

Dugu Jialuo took a breath and endured it silently, and said in his heart: "Don't see with the villain! Don't see with the villain!"

The Yang Guogong Mansion has been established for a hundred years. It has been expanding over the years, accounting for one-third of Yuchi Street. It is divided into two parts. The old Guogong family is the old Guogong family on the east and the second Guogong family on the west. The old Guogong is considering brothers and sisters, and has never been willing to let his younger brothers move away. However, the other concubines go out to make a living.

Dugu Jialuo wanted to know only one side of the East Courtyard, with walls between the east and west courtyards, and a moon gate was left in the middle.

Pearl took Dugu Jialuo out of Yuanju Courtyard and saw a hall in front of him, with a large marble screen with red sandalwood shelf. Pearl said: "There is the front hall over there. If there is no summoning, we usually won't go there."

There is also a rockery made of stones between Chuantang and Yuanjuyuan, like seven small lions of all sizes. Water flows continuously from the mouth of Chuantang. From Chuantang, there is a five-foot-long road winding to both sides.

Pearl said: "Girl, go to the east and behind are Furong Garden, Shuyu Pavilion, Cangmanlou, Liyuan, and go to the west are Garden. Dongfu Garden and Xifu Garden were originally connected. There is a lake called Yuhu. There are many lotus flowers planted. Miss Jiayi likes to raft on the top in summer. I heard that the water was led down from Luoshan, where Guanghua Temple is located! The old lady's Rongxi Garden is still behind, and there is Jiayuan and Yuyuan there,"

“Good?”

"Oh, Miss Jiayi is the sister of the Duke of the People's Republic of China. She is only fourteen years old this year. In addition to Miss Jiayi, there are also Miss Jiamin and Miss Jiachuan in the house, both of whom are born by Aunt Wu, and there is another seven-year-old fifth master who is born by Aunt Qing!" Pearl fell to Dugu Jialuo as if he were aware of it.

Dugu Jialuo nodded, "All sons, there are fewer legitimate and illegitimate daughters."

Dugu Jialuo walked along the east side, and soon he saw a two-story building not far away. It looked like a lady's attic, because there were a row of windows on the side of the road, and there were many women inside.

After a closer look, the plaque of the door was vaguely written with "Furong Courtyard". The courtyard is smaller than Yuanju Courtyard and looks very spectacular. Dugu Jialuo said curiously: "I wonder which master lives in this Furong Courtyard?"

Zhenzhu whispered: "It's a woman sent to the adults everywhere!" Seeing that there was no one around, Zhenzhu lowered her voice and said: "One is the concubine daughter of Prime Minister Bai's mansion and the daughter of the seventh-rank official. These two are the most troublesome, and the others have poor families and nothing happened. Therefore, I don't know."

In other words, although Yang Jian's wife was dead, he still had a lot of beauty. Dugu Jialuo's last thought in his heart was suddenly pulled away.

It was a common practice for him to take in a woman. If she had never repeatedly expressed her desire to go back to the mansion, would she have lived in this Furong Courtyard in the future? Without the family background, she would not cause trouble. Even the servants in the mansion knew that there was such a person in the mansion!

Dugu Jialuo was looking at Furongyuan, and suddenly a woman dressed in a luxurious manner came out from inside, with pink cheeks and red lips, a big red cloak on the outside, and a narrow-sleeved jacket with silver red flowers on the inside, a six-sleeved silk skirt with ink color and a pair of satin boots on the bottom, which was particularly bright and charming.

There were two maids following him, Dugu Jialuo's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing that the two maids had gold twisted bracelets on their wrists and small rubies on their ears, they were in the same style.

Pearl immediately said blessedly: "I have seen Miss White!"

Dugu Jialuo secretly said that it turned out to be the concubine daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no wonder she was so arrogant.

Bai Wei swept her phoenix eyes and saw a little maid standing beside the little maid in Yuanjuyuan. Although she was combing her cicada bun, the material of the clothes was excellent. Her eyes were slightly lowered and she asked Zhenzhu, "Who is this?"

"It's Miss Chen!" Pearl replied.

"Girl?" Bai Weimo's mouth curled slightly, but she felt a little disdainful in her tone, "Which building in the capital is from? Or the daughters sent by those little officials below?"

Dugu Jialuo sighed slightly, raised his head, and saw that there were already many women on the second floor of Furong Courtyard watching the excitement. They were either willow-leaf eyebrows or hibiscus faces, all with their own colors and tender girls coming out of the water.

There is Qiutan in Yuanju courtyard, and it turns out that there is such a beautiful woman in the courtyard behind her.

Dugu Jialuo was careless and said to Pearl: "Take me to the front and take a look!"

Bai Weimo narrowed her eyes at the backs of the two, and ordered the maid beside her, "Go and report to my sister, a new one has come, and let her check the origin of this person!"

I used to think that Qingyu Tower was mixed with fish and dragons every day, and I was afraid that Ning'an's most dirty place. Now, I think that there is the most suitable place for her. Her identity cannot be seen in such a wealthy place.

Pearl gave Bai Weimo a little blessedly and took Dugu Jialuo forward.

"Oh, there is another new one. Look, this one is smaller than Liu Yingying!" I don't know who was giggling on the second floor.

Pearl quietly pulled Dugu Jialuo's sleeve and whispered: "Girl, I ignore those people, but I don't care about them. On weekdays, I can't be punished!"

When Yang Jian came back, it was already evening and he could not find Dugu Jialuo!

Her wing room was clean and neat, as if no one had lived there before, which made Yang Jian feel in a daze. Was that person fabricated by him in a dream?

"Dugu Jialuo!"

Everyone in the yard was suddenly shocked by this shout, and Zhenzhu, who was reassigned to the kitchen to do work, was shocked, "Did the girl make me feel unhappy again?"

After a while, Yan'er, who was attending flowers and plants in Yuanju Courtyard, came over to call her and said, "Sister Pearl, the Duke of the Kingdom is looking for you!"

Pearl quickly took off her apron and followed Yan'er over.

At this time, Dugu Jialuo listened to Qiu Tan's instructions and was dismantling the brocade quilt she had covered, saying that she wanted to wash it. The cotton wool inside touched Dugu Jialuo's half of his body. The wide quilt seemed to be about to submerge her entire body.

The threads that sew the quilt must not be cut off. If you say you need to use them, you have to untie the knots and suck them little by little.

In the morning, she was helping with embroidery at the needle and thread. Qiutan found that she didn't even know how to have a leaf. In the afternoon, she went to the soles of her shoes, and three needles broke, and several red and swollen parts were strangled on her hands.

She knew that Qiutan was deliberately doing something bad, but on the first day she went to the sewing room, she didn't want to leave everyone with the impression of being tricky and slick, so she had to endure it.

While cheering up, she silently said, "Just endure for a few days. When aunt or Yizhi comes, she can return to Ning'an!"

When Yang Jian saw Dugu Jialuo again, he saw Dugu Jialuo clumsily pulling the thread.

"Who asked you to do this?" He realized at a glance that it was the quilt in his room. In order to prevent the cotton wool from coming out, he had sewed several pieces finely.

Dugu Jialuo suddenly heard the sound at the door and was shocked.

Then he saw the person standing outside the door staring angrily, as if she had done something she shouldn't have done. Dugu Jialuo held back his heart and replied, "I, report back to the Duke, slave, I am tearing down the quilt."

Yang Jian stared at Dugu Jialuo's swollen hands and paused word by word: "Who asked you to do these?"

Dugu Jialuo lowered his eyes and smiled brilliantly, "The Duke of China has a great memory. You forgot that you put your servant in the needle and thread room yesterday!"

A pair of dimples gently swayed from her face, and she raised her face and smiled very distantly. Yang Jian sighed in his heart, strided over, lifted the person up from his feet, and looked at the pair of swollen hands, his eyes slightly red.

He sighed helplessly: "Dugu Jialuo, you can do it!"

Dugu Jialuo shook his head, "The Duke is kidding, I still owe you five hundred taels of silver!"

Yang Jian looked at Dugu Jialuo's smiling eyes, Jialuo, even in this life, you can still make me helpless against you.
