Shao Shao caressed Mi Sheng's long black hair.
But Mi Sheng didn't know what he had thought of, and suddenly straightened his body, grabbed Shao Shao's shoulders, and said excitedly: "Sister, if you and I save enough money for redemption in the future, let's leave here and go to a place where no one knows us." Find a small courtyard and spend the rest of your life together, okay?"
Shaoshao's hand paused, and when he lowered his head, he happened to meet Misheng's eyes painted with peach blossom makeup, and was about to speak, only to hear someone knock on the door again: "Miss Misheng, fifth mother is here to remind you, Your honored guest has been waiting for a long time."
The urging outside was loud and urgent, but in the end Mi Sheng didn't wait for Shao Shao's answer.
Looking at the back of Mi Sheng who was walking away after opening the door, Shao Shao opened his palm, on which was a plum blossom jade hairpin left by Mi Sheng when he left.

Shao Shao sat in front of the window looking out at the dark night for almost the whole night.
Facing the thin light of the morning sun, turning dry eyes, Shaoshao lay down in front of the desk and fell into a deep sleep.This sleep was extremely long, maybe fell asleep too late, and had no dreams all night, but when returning to the cage, vaguely had the fragmented dream of childhood again.
In the picture, the sky is gray, the enemy invaded the city, burned, killed and looted. In the chaos, a child stood at the intersection and cried, and the people around abandoned their homes and ran. No one cared about who lost a child in other homes.Someone shouted Shaoshao's original name behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw a burst of white light and woke up from the chaotic dream.
After fully waking up, it was already mid-afternoon. The servant girl came in to serve her, and another servant girl lit incense cakes in the copper stove, carried them to a table of eight immortals, and placed them one by one with seasonal fruits and several dishes of delicacies. , Shaoshao stopped combing her hair and asked, "Who's coming to drink tonight?"
The servant girl who was putting on Shaoshao's makeup said: "It's Han Shangshu's young master. I made an appointment with the girl a few days ago, and I'm going to be here today."
Shao Shao threw the comb in front of the case, and said with a worried expression: "I just went to swim in the lake yesterday, and this guy is here again today, it's very annoying."
"My son, don't say that loudly!" The fifth mother, who came before anyone else, stepped into the threshold, and seeing Shaoshao still dressing up in front of the stage in the inner room, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I mentioned this to you in the past , you are so happy to say it, why did you forget it? Mr. Han sent someone to give you a gift this morning. Seeing that you were still asleep, he deliberately refused to let me call you, so he put down the gift box and went. Fortunately, it is a good thing temperament."
Shao Shao said: "Where is the ceremony, I have never seen it before."
Speaking of the gift from Mr. Han, the fifth mother blushed and said, "Mom, I will keep it for you. A hundred taels of silver, high-quality wild game vegetables and fruits, that wild boar, good guy, but the butcher was so happy that he grinded it early in the morning. Dao Huo Huo, Amitabha, the sound of killing a pig is louder than that rooster crowing. Look at the pork cold dish on the table of the Eight Immortals, isn't it beautiful?"
Shao Shao said: "I don't like pigs the most."
The fifth mother smiled and said: "My good daughter, I know that when you were young, you almost got into a fight with Mi Sheng's daughter over a piece of meat. It seems that you have completely forgotten it."
Shao Shao had already begun to nod her lips, and asked with a frown: "I have no memory of this, mother, don't you want to lie to me?"
The two were talking in the room, and there was a servant girl in front of them who lit up the lights in the corridor. The originally quiet courtyard seemed a little noisy for a while because of the many servants coming and going.
Shao Shao glanced at the sky outside the house, and said: "Although it is dark early in winter, it seems that it is almost completely dark today, why didn't Mi Sheng come back?"
The fifth mother said: "Perhaps the nobleman in that mansion loves Misheng so much, but Misheng is the most beautiful daughter in our family besides Shaoshao and you."
Shao Shao said: "Mom really knows how to speak."
Fifth Ma replied: "I have to say that Mi Sheng's good fortune this time is great, and only the nobleman can afford it for the first time combing."
When Shaoshao heard this, he just wanted to sneer: "I don't know how that nobleman compares to Mr. Han?"
The fifth mother only recognized money, and her words were full of compliments, she said: "Both of you are nobles, so naturally they are not equal."
Shaoshao sneered when she heard the words, and said, "My mother is so polite."
The fifth mother smiled and said, "Of course I have been with my son for a long time, and I have been fascinated by it. Closer to home, a group of Qing guests from Zhangshan invited the Houri Poetry Club to accompany me. Can Shaoshao have some free time?"
Shaoshao finished dressing, grabbed a strand of hair on her sideburns, and said softly: "Whether my daughter is free or not depends entirely on mother's arrangement."
After the fifth mother got a satisfactory answer and left, the maid approached Shaoshao and said, "I heard that the fifth mother actually received 600 taels of silver, but she only said [-] taels to the outside world, let alone the other antique jewelry sent. In Wuma's room, Miss Misheng probably has never seen her before."
With an indifferent expression on Shao Shao's face, he said: "Don't bring up such gossip again."
The inner room was getting darker and darker, the servant girl came in to light the lamp, and added incense to the copper stove again, filling the room with fragrance for a while.
After the room was lit up, Shaoshao leaned on the railing and shook her fan to look at the door lock of the opposite room, but no one came back to unlock it.

In the past, when the young master of Han came to Shaoshao to meet, there would always be two servants following him.Mr. Han entered the house by himself, and he had to drink with Shaoshao on poems and paintings, and then he did other arty things.
So Shaoshao set up the Four Treasures of the Study early, and ordered the servant girl to bring a small mahogany square table, and placed hot wine and pairs of white porcelain wine sets on it, just waiting for Mr. Han's arrival.
