Chapter 7: Keep Your Secrets
At dinner, Tao Ziyuan changed back into the light blue short jacket and ate with Li Xiangqing. The people in Zi'an Hall looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they already said everything without saying anything.
I thought that this newcomer would feel uncomfortable, but I never thought that she would sit in front of her and have dinner.
"You're a sitter. Li Xiangqing wiped the oil stains on the corners of his lips with a towel and held down Tao Ziyuan, who wanted to get up and clean up the table.
looked at the hand on his shoulder, and the next moment he leaned closer, his angular face gradually enlarged in front of his eyes, and the smell of sandalwood seemed to linger between his noses.
She even felt the accelerated heartbeat in her chest and the suffocation of that moment, the soft towel gently brushed over her mouth, and the oily light on the corner of her lips was gone when she looked at it again.
"Why should I be uneasy about what the young master told me to do?" Tao Ziyuan lowered her eyes, maybe the person in front of her was too dazzling, and the more she looked at it, she had a little more greed and hope that she shouldn't have.
"It's like at a tea party?" Li Xiangqing had no intention of retreating, but observed the subtle changes in her expression.
I saw that the girl's eyes moved slightly, and the yellowish cheeks didn't seem to see anything, but some rapid blinking eyes in the panic still exposed her nervousness.
Also, the action of being so nervous that you swallow your saliva.
"The person at the tea party, outside Wenyuan Pavilion, I didn't know he was the crown prince. ”
As soon as the words fell, the man finally sat back in his original position, and the maid who came in outside had already cleaned up the food on the table.
just looked at Li Xiangqing's expression and consciously retreated.
"Who is that person? Why did you come to our Zi'an Hall? It is said to teach the rules, but looking at the pie who has been eating at the same table with the young master, he looks like a young lady.
However, the demeanor and behavior are not as delicate and calm as the masters, revealing a rural atmosphere. ”
As soon as Yunjing went out, Xiangwen, a girl outside, complained to herself, and she was dissatisfied both inside and outside.
But I don't blame them, there has always been only one master like Li Xiangqing in this Zi'an Hall, even if other masters come to this courtyard, except for the old lady who doesn't want to pay tribute to the second young master in the third mansion.
It's just such a person who learns the rules, and he is at the same table with the young master, so he has to make people suspicious and depressed, and he doesn't understand the rules.
"Madame asked the young master to teach her the rules, and the treatment she should be the same as that of the young lady in the house, we only treat her as the young master's honored guest, don't do anything unpleasant to the second young master. ”
Yunjing said, Xiangwen behind her could only glance at her mouth when she listened, and left unhappily.
Yun Jing glanced at the bright lights in the room, and turned around and walked out of the door of Zi'an Hall with a somewhat heavy food box.
It stands to reason that she is the eldest girl of Zi'an Hall, and she doesn't have to do these things, but she has always been the second young master's affairs, but today, for some reason, her chest is a little stuffy.
"Isn't this Sister Yunjing?" Just halfway through, under the dry ginkgo tree, Yunjing heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, someone took the food box in his hand.
"How does this work? Sister Jin Chuan, I'll carry it myself. Yunjing quietly separated Jin Chuan's hand, and while helping him up, he said with a smile,
"Why didn't Sister Jin Chuan serve by the side of the fourth lady? Could it be that the fourth miss fell asleep so early?"
"How can it, the fourth lady contracted a cold last night, I went to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of ginger soup, but I happened to meet Sister Yunjing halfway. Speaking of which, Sister Yunjing has always been hands-on with the second son, this affection, I am ashamed of myself, the second son is good, and Sister Yunjing is also very good, and we are very envious. ”
Jin Chuan smiled, and his mouth was also very fast, so that others couldn't interject into the conversation, Yunjing smiled faintly, how could he not hear the meaning of provocation in these words, it seems that this young lady who teaches rules has become a thorn in the side of some people.
"Waiting for the master is the duty of the subordinate, and the master is kind to him, but when it comes to intimacy, it is naturally more intimate for the younger sister to be with the fourth lady, and it is more convenient for the girls to talk to each other. ”
The soft reaction like a marshmallow was not the result that Jin Chuan wanted, and the whole mansion was talking about the guest of Zi'an Hall all day long, how could she go back to pay if she didn't ask clearly?
The two walked to the kitchen together, and Jin Chuan gossiped about Yunjing, and only echoed it on the side, and they were not distempered in the past.
"Sister Yunjing, I heard that there is a new girl in Zi'an Hall who learns the rules, I don't know why this school rules didn't follow the young ladies, but sent it to the second son?"
"Miss Purple Kite's life was saved by the second son, and the lady sympathized with her and cured the master's headache, so naturally she was assigned to Zi'an Hall, what does Sister Jin Chuan think?"
I can't see joy and anger, and I always have a gentle temperament with a light smile, but Jin Chuan feels a little cold in his back, especially those eyes, which are bright as if he has seen through others, and Jin Chuan's heart is tight.
"Yes, Sister Yunjing said very much, it was my sister who asked more, Mrs. has always been the kindest, I suddenly remembered that Miss said that she wanted to eat supper, I just forgot to ask, Sister Yunjing went first, I went back first and then went to the kitchen together. ”
Jin Chuan smiled wryly, leaving a little unnaturally, Yunjing nodded, and looked at her somewhat hurried steps and withdrew his gaze.
The people in this house look at harmony, but they want to eat one family, except for the children of the same mother, everyone else is unreliable.
Tao Zi Kite, thinking that this Zhu Gate was full of flowers, but he didn't know that this step was a trap for jackals, and if he was careless, he was gnawed off a piece of meat.
Zi'an Hall has always been the purest place, the identity of the son-in-law, coupled with the champion of the new department, the editor of the Hanlin Academy of the Royal Pen, the lord attaches great importance to the second son, but the quiet days seem to be so easy to be broken.
————
"Your throat moves when you're nervous, you blink twice as often, you sweat on the tip of your nose, and your face turns red when you lie. ”
"Huh?"
Tao Ziyuan looked at the person opposite, but he didn't expect that he had observed so much at that moment, and he was speechless for a while.
It seems that everything will be seen through in front of him, and everything will be hidden.
"If you want to keep the secret in your heart, then use your body to hide your heart well, it is not important to have a deep mind, the important thing is to make others feel that your mind is very simple, and your secret can be safer. ”
Tao Ziyuan looked at Li Xiangqing, who got up and walked to the side of the bookcase, "Is it just like Wei Qingyi?"
As soon as the words fell, the man's movements in his hand paused, and he looked at him with a knife-sharp gaze.
Before he could speak, Songzhi walked in on the other side, and said with a smile, "Greetings to the second young master, don't blame me for disturbing the second young master, Madame invites the purple kite girl to come to the shallow flower pavilion to talk." ”
