Chapter 426: Dilemma
Pei Jieming's face calmly looked at Shang Lanxin's scrutinizing gaze, she was so protective of the people around her, his heart was both happy for Dongxiu, but also a little anxious. With such a "difficult" master, the road to marriage is even more difficult.
Lan Xin smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Pei, does this really not understand, or is he deliberately confusing the public? Dongxiu is a slave, but you are a person with meritorious reputation, how can you become husband and wife with such a big gap between the identities of the two of you? With Dongxiu's identity, you can only be a concubine at most." Even if they are all working in the Yu family, but their identities are different, they are destined to be strangers for the rest of their lives. ”
"Boom!" Pei Jieming felt that his brain was about to explode, and Lan Xin's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard. My heart was in turmoil, my mind was also in chaos, my lips were closed one by one, and I couldn't stop squirming, but my throat was stuck, and I couldn't say a word. He thought that Lan Xin might make things difficult for him, after all, the more reserved the girl is, the more her husband will pay attention to her after getting married.
He also thought of various ways to deal with it, but he didn't expect that Lan Xin would put up this reason to reject him. The identity that I have always been proud of, but when I get here, it has become the biggest obstacle. It can also be said that Miss Jade didn't take her identity into account at all.
"Ah, caught, caught. I finally got it. The screams of several children not far away woke up Benjamin Pei, who was deep in thought. Looking around in a blink of an eye, it turned out that unconsciously, he walked into the gazebo.
Benjamin took a few steps forward and stood at the railing, looking up at the emerald green leaves that were swaying in the wind. He didn't remember how he came out of the front hall at that time, and in the confusion, the girl's words lingered in his ears: "Although Dongxiu is just a maid by my side, she is ingenious and clever." Therefore, I can't help but indulge her a little. Therefore, now I am more delicate than those girls from small families. ”
The meaning of the jade girl is obvious: the people around me, even if they are just a maid, are more delicate than those girls from small families. Although you are now famous, what do you rely on to support your family? Could it be that marrying a wife with all your passion is only to make her suffer?
"Could it be that I really did something wrong?" Pei Jieming casually plucked a tender green leaf, put it in the palm of his hand, stared at the clear veins on the leaf, and muttered to himself. His eyes were red, and a tear fell on the clear veins.
******
On the clean and tidy bluestone road, a Qingbu carriage was kicking forward. The coachman raised his whip high, and with a "snap" of the whip, the fat and sturdy tall horse ran more cheerfully.
The carriage was of fine rosewood, and the walls of the carriage were wrapped in thick cotton pads. So, no matter how fast the carriage went, it didn't feel any bumps inside. Lan Xin leaned against the wall of the car with her eyes closed, and her eyes spilled into the car through the glass window, shining on her face, forming a golden halo.
Redsleeves cleverly closed the curtains to block out the sunlight outside. Her lips squirmed a few times, and she saw that her girl was closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, and when she reached her mouth, she finally swallowed it back.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Lan Xin looked at the appearance of Red Sleeves who wanted to speak and stopped, and glared at her angrily.
"Girl, are you awake?!" Red Sleeves said with a shy face, Lan Xin didn't pay attention to her, she didn't care, she poured a cup of tea for Lan Xin and handed it to her, seeing that her girl held the teacup in her hand, she asked with a smile, "Does the girl really disagree with Sister Dongxiu marrying Mr. Pei?"
Lan Xin took a sip of tea and put it down, not answering the words of the red sleeves, but asked, "What do you think of this family affair?"
Red Sleeves blinked her eyes in surprise, then scratched her head and said, "How do you understand the slave maid?" You just comment on it as a bystander. Moreover, there are only three people here: you, me, and Bai Aya, so we can talk wherever we go. This is to tell the two of them that they can know what is going on today, and they can't say anything to anyone.
"Don't worry, girl, the slave knows what is important. What's more, when Mother Zhen was teaching slaves and maids the rules, she had already said that the most taboo thing for those who serve by the master's side is not being able to keep their mouths shut. Redsleeves nodded solemnly in reassurance.
"Slaves don't talk nonsense. Bai Aya also nodded earnestly. "Of course I believe in you. Lan Xin said with a smile, "It's just that I still hope that after you encounter something, you will see more, think more, and talk less." You are all people around me, you must learn to be calm in the face of things, and don't get confused because of a few words from others. "Dongxiu is also of age, and I hope that before Dongxiu gets married, they will be able to take charge of each other. So, I'll teach a few more words today.
Red Sleeves and White Aya understood what their girl meant, and nodded thoughtfully. Red Sleeves took the lead in speaking: "If Dan Lun identity, Sister Dongxiu is Gao Pan Mr. Pei." However, in Mr. Pei's current situation, Sister Dongxiu will only suffer if she marries. That's why the girl rejected Mr. Pei, right?"
Lan Xin didn't speak, but just turned his gaze to Bai Aya. Bai Aya tilted her head and thought about it, and said with a red face: "The slave doesn't know if what she said is right or not, and please don't mind the girl." Under Lan Xin's encouraging gaze, she whispered, "The slave maid thinks that the girl has not completely rejected Mr. Pei.
The girl put the reality in front of her, if Mr. Pei really just fell in love with Sister Dongxiu, he would not give up the idea of marrying her because she did not have the rich dowry of Sister Qinghe, nor because she was a slave. ”
"Then it seems that the girl is testing Mr. Pei to see if he really wants to marry Sister Dongxiu, or does he want to use Sister Dongxiu to go to the Yu family?" With a smile on his face, he asked, "Why did the girl say the following words? Could it be the legendary method of agitating the general? aroused the fighting spirit in Mr. Pei's heart, so that he solved the difficulties in front of him and asked the girl to marry Sister Dongxiu again?"
Lan looked at the two people in front of him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am usually too used to you, so that you have learned to be lazy and slippery." Ignoring their frowning and miserable looks, he closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall of the car to pretend to sleep. She really wanted to know how determined Benjamin Pei was to go to the Winter Show.
