Chapter 529: Chapter 528: The Little Maids Laugh and Play_1
“Mm.”
Lin Qingluo gently nodded, got up from the bed with a smile and explained, “Yesterday, I promised Xuan’er that we would go out of town for a trip, so I woke up a little earlier on purpose.”
“I’ll have the kitchen prepare breakfast right away.”
Hearing this, Qinghe quickly went out, then returned with a maidservant who brought clean water for Lin Qingluo to wash and get dressed.
After washing up, Lin Qingluo sat in front of her dressing table, straightened her back, and watched through the mirror as the maidservant skillfully twisted her hair on top of her head into a bun, fastening it with an elegant hairband.
She couldn’t help but recall the image of the Little Prince combing her sister’s hair, and a tender, gentle smile formed on her lips.
Once the maidservant finished arranging her hair, Lin Qingluo calmly stood up, stepped out of the room, walked to the flower garden in the courtyard, took out a bamboo flute, and started practicing a set of sword techniques.
Her slender and graceful figure moved like the wind. All her movements flowed smoothly like water and were incredibly elegant.
The maid tidying up the courtyard couldn’t help but stop and stare, her eyes sparkling with fascination as she mimicked Lin Qingluo’s movements with her broom in hand.
“Hehe.”
The clumsy display made everyone laugh.
“Miss, breakfast is ready. You may dine now.”
Qinghe came over with two trays from the kitchen.
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo showed no signs of fatigue as she gracefully went through her routine, agreed with a smile, put away the bamboo flute, and returned to her room.
“Wow, Miss is so cool! Watching her practice every morning is a visual treat.”
The maid who was sweeping the courtyard covered her heart and tried to suppress her excitement while watching Lin Qingluo return to her room.
“I wish I were as skilled as Miss.”
“You, dream on! Even with a broom, you can’t learn it in a hundred years.”
The maid pouring water from a basin disdainfully pursed her lips and bluntly shot her down.
“Next time, I’ll use a wooden stick.”
The sweeping maid retorted stubbornly.
“It won’t work even if you use a fire stick.”
More maids came out from the room, joking and teasing her as they laughed together.
“Hmph! I won’t pay any attention to you guys.”
The sweeping maid’s cheeks flushed red, and she stormed off with her broom, fuming.
“What’s the name of that little maid?”
Inside the room, Lin Qingluo heard the chattering of the maids and couldn’t help but smile.
“Zizhu.”
Qinghe also heard it and smiled teasingly.
“Zizhu?”
Lin Qingluo raised her eyebrows, “That’s quite a unique name, it sounds like a boy’s name.”
Qinghe arranged the bowls and chopsticks on the table, smiling playfully, “She’s wild and not good at following rules. She can’t even serve tea or ink properly. Nanny Sun was so angry that she gave her a boy’s name and let her clean the courtyard.”
“Oh?”
Lin Qingluo sat down at the dining table, a little surprised, “If she’s not good at following rules, how can she enter the Duke of Zhen’s mansion?”
“She was born into the household, and both of her parents work here. Her father is the Old Master’s trusted aide and manages the Autumn Frost Residence.”
Qinghe explained, “Her mother is Third Lady Lin’s handmaid. They are a clever couple, but they have a daughter who can’t even learn basic etiquette.”
“Oh.”
Lin Qingluo understood, thinking that no wonder she was allowed into Fluttering Snow Residence – it was because her parents had some influence and placed her here on purpose.
“That little maid, Zizhu, let her start serving me closely tomorrow. Her character suits my taste.”
“Clang!”
Qinghe dropped the spoon she was handing to Lin Qingluo onto the table.
The head maid widened her eyes in disbelief, turned pale as she recovered, and hurriedly said, “Forgive me, Miss, I’ll get you another spoon right away.”
