Ji Miaomiao naturally would not refuse.

So in the evening, Mrs. Hou asked her servants to clean up a side room in her courtyard and let Ji Miaomiao live in it.

Because she loved this girl, she specially arranged for the room closest to her guest room to be tidied up, fearing that if it was too far away, there would be some naughty slaves in the house who would bully this lovely girl.

Ji Miaomiao originally thought that Mrs. Hou and the old lady had an ulterior motive for getting close to their family, and that everyone was doing official business.

But when I saw the old lady's behavior and all the connections to today, I couldn't help but be a little moved.

It can be seen from everything today that although the old lady and others attracted their family and brought him back because she was favored by the emperor in the beginning.

But after getting along for a short time, they still have true feelings for him.

In front of him, they are truly good people. In any case, he has no chance to blame them.

Ji Miaomiao was a young man with upright roots who was born and raised in modern times. He did not have those messy thoughts in his mind. When he saw this, he had a good impression of Mrs. Hou.

The Chinese nation's deep-rooted tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young made her fall even more in love with this kind-hearted old lady.

She was a little too obedient. She didn't start crying at night like a young prince, but she slept quietly in bed.

The maids originally sent by the old lady to coax her were useless and had to stay outside to prevent her from crying at night.

I don't know if it was because she recognized the bed, or because she had never been away from her family. In short, Ji Miaomiao was still not used to it.

She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. She looked at the dim room. She didn't have a trace of fear in her heart, she simply couldn't fall asleep.

This is a very strange feeling. When she was in modern times, she often couldn't sleep due to stress.

But since ancient times, this feeling has disappeared.

I don’t know if it’s because there are relatives around me, or because time travel has caused children to sleep a lot.

This is the first time it's so late and I can't sleep even if I want to.

Um??

While Ji Miaomiao was forcing herself to count sheep in her mind, she suddenly smelled a strange smell in her nose.

This is the smell of burned pine wood.

In the past, when Ji Miaomiao lived in the city in modern times, she had never smelled such a smell.

But in the past, because of the need to escape from famine, I needed to light a fire to keep warm when it was cold on the road.

Through conversations with adults and memories in her own memory, she knew that this is what pine wood smells like after it is burned.

When she entered the old lady's yard today, she did find a lot of things made of pine wood in the old lady's room.

Why does it suddenly smell like this?

Could it be that something in the old lady's room caught fire?

Although Ji Miaomiao has never enjoyed a life of luxury and fragrance since she came to this other world.

But I also know that when I watched costume dramas before, the incense burners used to burn incense were made of metal and could not emit the smell of wood at all.

Then there is only one possibility:

Either his nose was wrong, or something was burning in the old lady's room.

And according to the arrangement of the things in the old lady's room, it was absolutely impossible to do it under normal circumstances.

Based on Ji Miaomiao's self-confidence, she firmly believed that there could be no problem with her nose.

Her sense of smell has been very sensitive since she was a child, how could she go wrong?

It's impossible for someone to make food in the middle of the night. Besides, whose food tastes like pine wood?

no!

Ji Miaomiao couldn't sit still when she thought of the old lady who treated her kindly and kindly.

"Sister Qing'er."

In the dim room, the little girl's slender and soft voice suddenly sounded.

The maid called by the old lady to keep an eye on Ji Miaomiao's situation is called Qing'er. She is also the youngest maid among the old lady.

Although he is young on weekdays, he is most stable and stable, otherwise he would not have been assigned here.

Although the room was extremely quiet and the young lady was very worry-free, Qing'er never dared to take it lightly.

Even though he was already drifting off to sleep, he always remained awake.

After hearing someone calling her, she subconsciously woke up, quickly reacted, softened her voice, and lit the candle:

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Her voice was very soft. After lighting the candle, she carefully opened the bed curtain to avoid scaring the little child inside.

In Qing'er's sight, a cute girl with skin as white and tender as a white dumpling was sitting on the bed, looking at him in a daze.

The big eyes seem to be watery, which makes people like them very much at first sight.

Qing'er is not married yet, but that doesn't stop her from having a maternal impulse. Looking at such a cute girl, she feels very fond of her, and the look on her face is so soft that it makes her cry.

"Sister Qing'er, do you smell a strange smell?"

Ji Miaomiao frowned and said seriously: "It seems like something is burning."

As soon as Ji Miaomiao said these words, Qing'er's expression changed.

What's burning?

She has not forgotten where this is!

This is the old lady’s yard!

If something really went wrong in this courtyard, and Mr. Marquis and the others were held accountable, they would be in trouble.

Although Mrs. Lao Hou no longer cares about the affairs of Yongninghou Mansion, she is like a divine needle in Yongninghou Mansion.

Moreover, Mr. Hou always attached great importance to filial piety and respected Mrs. Hou very much.

Furthermore, even if there is no blame from the thank you above, these servants are still willing to share the worries for the old lady.

The old lady is a rare good mistress. Madams in the backyard usually have some dirty tricks, but the old lady is very easy-going.

They are also very tolerant towards their servants. Who wouldn’t envy the servants in their courtyard when they go out?

However, the servants in the Yongning Marquis Mansion are living a comfortable life, which makes everyone seem to be about the same.

If they were in that house with so many scheming people in the backyard, they don't know how envious they would be.

Qing'er shrugged her nose and smelled it carefully, and she really smelled a strange smell.

"Sister, go and have a look. I seem to have smelled this smell before when my parents and I were burning firewood to keep warm on the road. Could it be a fire?"

When Qing'er's face was uncertain and she was thinking about something, Ji Miaomiao was very anxious and couldn't help but remind her again.

Qing'er saw the girl say such words with a confused look on her face, and she didn't dare to delay any longer. She didn't even bother to say anything else, she just warned:
Chapter completed!
