Chunmei and Dongshui got a letter from Mrs. Lin, dressed up carefully the next morning, and left the sewing room with two small packages. They stopped to say goodbye to a familiar girl on the way.
"Master Hou doesn't have a single woman. I heard that those girls in the early years were all killed by Master Hou..." One of them made a movement of wiping his neck and warned, "You have to be careful, Master Hou is not so easy to serve. After this It’s hard to tell if the job is a blessing or a curse.”
The other person nodded and agreed, "Yes, everyone calls Lord Hou the living king of Hades. He goes out clean every day and always comes back with a bloody smell all over his body. The women in the laundry room are most afraid of washing clothes for Lord Hou. It's scary to see a basin full of blood pouring out. I heard that the reason why Lord Hou has such a terrifying aura is because he killed too many people, and the ghosts around him are still there all year round. You two should be careful."
The little girl who was on good terms with the two sneered, "Come on, don't talk about sour grapes because you can't eat grapes here. Chunmei Dongshui has a future just because Lord Hou has no women around. Which man is not lustful? The reason why he didn't open his mouth was because Miss San was in charge of the house, so he wouldn't want his younger sister to grope for a woman, right? This time it was Madam who arranged the arrangement, so he naturally accepted it." Then he held the arms of the two men from left to right, with a flattering tone , "Two sisters, when you become rich in the future, don't forget to support your younger sister."
Chunmei Dongshui pursed her lips and smiled straight, two blushes appeared on her face, she looked very beautiful and pleasant. It's not that they haven't heard of the rumors outside the mansion, that murderous, ruthless, and disowned relatives are nothing compared to Hou Ye's unusually handsome face and overwhelming power in their eyes.
It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if one is lucky enough to become Lord Hou's first woman, what else is there in the future
The two made their own calculations and guarded against each other, twisting their waists and taking small steps towards the front yard. A group of girls sent them away with envious, worried, or mocking eyes.
It was the day when he was resting, and it was rare for Yu Pinyan not to go to the Yamen to run errands. He took his sister to greet the old lady first, and then took him back to the study to practice calligraphy.
Yu Xiang sat in front of a slightly lower desk, wrote a word and glanced at his elder brother who was leaning by the window studying the chess records, hesitant to speak.
"Don't read it. If you read it again, you have to practice this calligraphy. How much homework you missed, you can figure it out yourself." Yu Pinyan snorted without raising his head.
Yu Xiang put down the brush and complained, "Brother, I can do it with just a few words. Could it be that you still plan to teach me to be a Confucianist? I don't have that talent. Look at Xiao Jiuer, she is only twelve years old. You don’t need to study anymore, you can eat, drink and have fun all day long, and you can live happily. It’s hard for me to leave home, and you let me relax for two days. How about I play chess with you?”
The corners of Yu Pinyan's mouth curled slightly, but his words were full of disgust, "Princess Ninth played tricks in front of the emperor in order to play truant, so you can show my brother too. Also, your chess game is too stinky, so you don't count as ten pieces." , Take two steps and regret three steps, not as good as my left and right hands."
Thinking of the scene where Xiao Jiu'er was rolling and howling in front of the emperor, Yu Xiang felt quite ashamed, and sighed, "Speak as you speak, why expose people's background, I can't write it."
The study room became quiet again. Two quarters of an hour later, Yu Xiang tapped the inkstone with the pen and shouted, "I've finished my homework today, brother, come and see."
Yu Pinyan put down the chess record and walked over to take a look, then shook his head and sighed, "How come you haven't improved after four years of teaching? There is no form but no spirit, and the strength is soft. Even writing a greeting card is too shameful."
Yu Xiang flicked her sore wrist, and said angrily, "I'm only born with such a little strength, how can I achieve the strength you require? Brother, you are too strong."
Yu Pinyan smiled, took out a piece of white rice paper and spread it out, hugged her sister on her lap and held her little hand holding the pen, and said softly, "Brother will teach you to practice, you can figure out how to use force yourself. The person himself, but the angle of the pen and the speed of the pen."
The elegant sandalwood scent surrounds me, strong arms are wrapped around the armpits, and the generous and warm chest is leaning against the back, and there is a faint and steady heartbeat transmitted through the fabric, which feels indescribably cuddly and throbbing. Even though Yu Xiang was full of complaints, she couldn't express it, she nodded obediently, and then peeked at her brother's side face with red ears.
Yu Pinyan pretended not to know, holding her little hand and writing stroke by stroke very slowly, a few lines of poems stretched out on the paper, telling someone's unspeakable feelings—the autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather but still disperse, the jackdaw Habitat and startled, lovesickness and reunion know when, this night is embarrassing. Enter the gate of lovesickness, and know that lovesickness is painful, long lovesickness is long lovesickness, short lovesickness is infinite...
After finishing writing, Yu Xiang murmured it a few times. It was as if a small stone was thrown into the lake of her heart, causing ripples. There was also a subtle, indescribable feeling that slipped through her mind quickly, and when she was about to grab it, she couldn't grasp it. Dissipated like green smoke. She blinked, her eyes were a little dazed, and she asked, "Why haven't you finished writing one sentence?"
Indeed, there is the last sentence—I knew it was so staggering, why didn't I know each other at the beginning.
Yu Pinyan observed her expression carefully, and sighed after a while, "The last sentence is quite unlucky, so I simply don't write it." How could we not know each other? So where should I put my love in my life
Yu Xiang nodded in a daze, and when she was about to change the subject, two slender girls came outside the door, with delicate makeup on her face and a package in her hand, squatting down with her waist twisted to salute, her voice was as gentle as a trickling spring, "Qi Lord Hou, Madam ordered two slaves and maidservants to come and serve you."
The girl in the water-blue trousers smiled coquettishly, "My maidservant's name is Chunmei."
The girl in the emerald green trousers took a quick look at Yu Pinyan, and said shyly, "My maidservant's name is Dongshui."
Immediately they said in unison, "Madam ordered the slaves and servants to take care of washing in the morning and evening, and to take care of the pen and ink during the day. Lord Hou has something to do in the future, but please tell me."
Yu Pinyan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but the blush on Yu Xiang's face quickly faded, and he said coldly, "I don't need you two to serve here, just go where you came from."
With Lin's backing, Chunmei Dongshui had the idea of a fight in her heart, but she squatted in place and looked at Lord Hou with charming and pitiful eyes while replying, "Back to Miss San, this is Madam The maidservant dared not disobey the order. Besides, there is no maidservant by Hou Ye's side, so it is very inconvenient on weekdays... "
Yu Xiang interrupted the conversation between the two in a cold voice, "It's inconvenient if you don't have a girl to serve you? Are all the guards and boys in the yard dead? Did you hear me telling you to get out? What if I have to have you dragged out?"
Yu Pinyan, who was silent for a while, spoke slowly, "Xiang'er, why are you driving them away?"
The expressions of the two girls were very pleasantly surprised, but Yu Xiang looked at him with astonished eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly threw the writing brush in her hand on the ground. The rice paper was torn into pieces, and he said angrily, "I won't write anymore, you can keep it if you want, I'm going back, let me go." While talking, he kept struggling, and his eyes gradually flushed.
Yu Pinyan quickly put her arms around her body, and waved at the two guards standing at the door. The guard stepped forward and dragged away the two girls who hadn't had time to put away their surprised expressions.
Yu Pinyan imprisoned the crazy little tigress in his arms with all his strength, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you losing your temper? Even if you want to drive them away, you should at least give my brother a reason." Tell me that your attachment to me is not childish possessiveness , but the clear love between men and women.
reason? What reason can Yu Xiang give? Say that there is only you in my world, and there will be concubines and children in your world, and then naturally forget me? In order to monopolize you, in order to avoid the foreseeable future, so you dare not let anyone approach you? She knew that her thoughts were sick and could not be expressed, but she would rather die against the south wall than look back.
She blinked desperately, trying to take back the tears she had secreted rapidly, but failed, so she had to wipe it with the back of her hand twice, and said in a nasty voice, "There is no reason, I am so unreasonable! Let go, I don't want to see you, You always lie to me."
Yu Pinyan was hesitating whether to expose her life experience directly or make her love him deeper, he was in a dilemma, he looked down and couldn't help laughing. I saw that the little girl's face was not only covered with tears, but also with streaks of ink pasted on her fingers, she looked very pitiful and extremely funny.
"Xiaoxiaoxiao," Yu Xiang accused with growing grief and anger, "I only hear the newcomers laughing, but the old ones cry. You heartless man."
Where does this follow. Yu Pinyan couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed loudly while wiping her tears and nose for her younger sister, "Silly girl, where did you find the old and the new? My brother's new and old are all you, only you. Look, the two girls have already They were driven away by me, and they will not be allowed to step into the front yard in the future." Pinch my sister's chin to make her look at the door, and continued to coax, "Stop crying, my brother's heart is broken by crying. My brother only likes you."
Tears hung on the eyelashes, blurring his vision. Yu Xiang tried to open his eyes wide, but when he saw that there was no one at the door, he slowly stopped his sobs. He wanted to break his tears into a smile but felt too embarrassing, so he only pursed his lips to look cruel In fact, he gave his brother a soft look.
Yu Pinyan held her cat-like face and smiled for a while before ordering Liu Lu to bring in a basin of water, carefully wiped off the ink on her face and hands, and sighed helplessly in his heart: Forget it, if you can’t ask, I won’t ask, I couldn't stand her teary face.
"Little vinegar jar, how can you be so jealous?" Yu Pinyan scolded his younger sister while pinching her fair and clear cheeks, but there was a deep sense of satisfaction in his words.
Yu Xiang didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when she met his deep eyes full of tenderness, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and she snorted softly like a cat.
Yu Pinyan fell in love with her petite appearance so much that he could never get tired of seeing her. He hugged her into his arms and rubbed her, and kissed her gently like butterfly wings on the top of her fragrant hair.
Liu Lu poured water and stood on the porch scratching her heart and lungs. She was about to grit her teeth and urge the young lady to go back, but she saw Ma Mama rushing over and said, "The old lady told Lord Hou to go over quickly, the young lady is making a fuss."
"What's the matter?" Liu Lu hurriedly asked.
"Hey, what else can it be, marriage!"
marriage? With the Fang family? No wonder the eldest lady is going to make a fuss, the Fang family is already ruined, how can they marry? Liu Lu put the washbasin away, and hurried in to report.
