Chapter 40: Cool and Warm at Night
The room was originally so quiet that she could even hear her breathing, Lian'er wiped Jing Yan with her head stuffy, she really didn't expect her to suddenly ask at this time, and she was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak, and she accidentally dropped the bath towel that wiped her body into the bucket, and the water splashed and fell on Jing Yan's long and curly eyelashes.

Lian'er's face turned pale suddenly, and she didn't look at the dampness on the ground, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Jing Yan: "Slave damn it!" Slaves and maids should be damned! ……”
Jing Yan blinked, reached out to skim the splash from her eyelashes, and looked at her with a smile: "Lian'er, I'm just asking you something, why be so flustered, get up and talk." ”
Listening to her tone, it really doesn't look like she's angry. Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief, her forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, she hurriedly wiped it, and said respectfully: "The slave maid went outside to change the young lady's handkerchief." ”
"No need," Jing Yan looked at the panicked face and sighed in his heart, "Pick up clean clothes." ”
A hint of frustration flashed on Lian'er's face, but she had to whisper, "Yes." ”
After a while, Lian'er took a garnet-red brocade skirt and walked slowly, Jing Yan frowned slightly when she saw this, Lian'er thought she had done something wrong again, and hurriedly lowered her head and trembled: "Slave...... Slaves don't ......"
"Forget it, bring it," Jing Yan said lightly, "It's just that I don't like these gorgeous clothes on weekdays, and you naturally don't know how to sweep them outside, so it's hard to find this dress for you." ”
After dressing her, Lian'er put down the curtain. She stood outside the tent, nervously waiting for the minutes to pass, and there was no sleepiness in her heart.
The movement on the bed is getting smaller and smaller, but Lian'er's heartbeat is getting faster and faster, I thought that Jing Yan was about to fall asleep, but who knew that there was a movement of turning over inside, obviously not asleep yet.
Lian'er's body trembled, she watched the moon rise little by little outside the window, and then fall to the other end little by little, her heart was extremely anxious, as if she had lost her soul.
At this time, Jing Yan's sighing voice came from inside, and Lian'er came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with the young lady?" ”
The translucent curtain reflected the red and slender figure inside, and Jing Yan's voice was slightly cool: "I can't sleep." I don't know what happened when the eldest young master went to the master's place. ”
Lian'er greeted her cautiously: "The eldest young master is deeply loved by the master, this past must be a good thing, the young lady relaxes and rests early." ”
"Hmm." Jing Yan's voice was very long, but his body did not lie down.
Lian'er's eyes rolled, as if she suddenly thought of something: "Young lady, it's windy outside tonight, and it's very cold in the house, maybe it's because of this that you don't feel comfortable, the slave maid will bring you two more charcoal pots, the house is warmer, and you can sleep!" ”
After that, there was no answer. Lian'er felt that she was a little too attentive, she was very anxious, and secretly scolded herself for not being angry, her hands were twisted fiercely, and she almost wanted to give up, eager to slap herself in the mouth.
After another moment, I heard Jing Yan's voice say in a shallow voice: "Then you can go." ”
Lian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had removed the big burden from her shoulders, and walked out of the inner room quickly.
Jing Yan on the bed looked at her in a hurry, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
She spent the first half of her life in the Li Mansion, and she already knew what to do and what to say, so that when she looked back at these maidservants, most of them could guess their thoughts.
Lian'er, who came back with the charcoal basin, didn't know that the person in the tent had been staring at her all the time, but she was completely immersed in her own world, burning the charcoal pot carefully and carefully, and her expression gradually eased.
By the time everything was ready, the room was really warm.
"Young lady, the clumsiness of the slave will disturb your rest, go out and guard you!"
After saying this, Lian'er walked out, thinking that Jingyan would still agree, but she was stunned to Lian'er's surprise: "Stay and talk to me for a while." ”
Lian'er instinctively refused on the grounds that talking too much would affect her sleep, but now she had already forgiven her again and again, and now if she doesn't follow her, it will be too undeserved. Lian'er looked at the warm charcoal basin, gritted her teeth, and finally agreed.
"The slave maid is shallow, and I ask the young lady to forgive her sins."
Jing Yan leaned on the soft pillow behind him and asked quite kindly: "I haven't said what I asked you before, what do you think of me?" ”
An innocent smile appeared on Lian'er's face for the first time, and she quickly replied: "The eldest young lady is naturally excellent, the slave maid has been in the mansion for many years, and has seen many masters, but there are few who are as docile and good as the young lady, and everyone says that this is the blessing of the eldest young master." ”
It's true. Originally, Ji's was not a fuel-efficient lamp, coupled with Ma Xiangyun, who was extremely jealous, everyone knew about Baguio, and Wang Jing was very picky.
Everyone tacitly knows that there is always panic on their faces, only these two young ladies are smiling and moaning all day long, gentle and extraordinary, which makes people want to get close.
"I grew up in the mountains, and it is already a great blessing to be able to marry into the Wang family. Eh, by the way, I heard that your younger brother also grew up in the mountains, and now he is old enough to go to private school, right? ”
When Lian'er heard Jing Yan mention her younger brother, she was a little flustered for a while, and the smile on her face faded instantly.
"Yes, Mrs. Lao is worried......
"I'm still a smart kid." Jing Yan continued, her voice like a pair of gentle hands, caressing Lian'er's cheeks.
Her eyelids grew heavier.
"I've been interested in smart kids since I was a child, tell me, what will your brother do?"
Lian'er took a deep breath and tried her best to lift her spirits, but the voice revealed full exhaustion: "My brother is not talented, it's just some rotten reading of the Four Books and Five Classics......"
"It is not easy to read the Four Books and the Five Classics badly. Your brother is so blessed at such a young age. I think at the beginning, my eldest brother was the same, he ...... early"
Jing Yan's words became lighter and lower, and in the end, Lian'er didn't know what she was talking about at all, she just lowered her head and kept humming, leaning against the wall, and slowly fell asleep.
……
When the morning sun hit Lian'er's eyelids, she opened her eyes blankly, only to feel dazzling, in a trance, she only felt that something was wrong, and then she suddenly remembered that she should have been in the inner room last night, how could she be outside the house!
She immediately got up from the ground, pinched her face, and suddenly remembered something, and her heart beat suddenly.
She swallowed, her trembling hands gently pushing the door open a crack.
I heard only a squeak, and the room was terriblely quiet, and in the translucent tent, a red figure was lying peacefully on the bed, motionless.
At this moment, Lian'er almost felt that her breathing had stopped, but she still forced herself to calm down, and asked in a trembling almost pitched voice, "Big ...... The Young Lady...... Are you awake? ”
I asked three times in a row, but there was no answer. Lian'er felt that the blood on her body seemed to be drained, and she staggered to the ground, her face pale.
At this moment, Rong's mother rushed over with someone in a hurry. At a glance, she saw Lian'er lying on the ground and lost her soul, and ordered the girl behind her to pull her up.
Lian'er looked up in a trance, her eyes were full of grief, and she only knew how to cry loudly.
When Rong's mother saw this situation, she showed an excited expression between her eyebrows, she pressed it, the smile on her face became more and more strange, and she immediately shouted screaming: "Oh no! Something has happened to Shubunin! ”
