Chapter 20: Poor Red Cloud
"I wonder where the second master is resting tonight? Ruyun and Rusheng were originally supposed to share your worries and serve the second master for the young grandmother. But I heard Mrs. say that the second master has no intention of taking these two girls into use, so ...... the young grandmother sees it? ”
Ning Yun had expected her to ask like this, and said with a smile: "It's still Mama Tian who is thoughtful." I think Hongyun is a good girl, she looks thoughtful, and she is also careful and considerate in serving people. Moreover, I think she can also enter the eyes of the second master, and when she came back just now, she was the one who served the second master to freshen up. The big girl next to me is enough, so let her go to the study to serve the second master in the future. Mama Tian, what do you think? ”
Mama Tian's cloudy eyes lit up, and she hurriedly bowed down. Since the young grandmother nodded in recognition of Hongyun's house, it couldn't be better. Madame has said before that if you really want to choose a room or carry your aunt, then Hongyun is the first choice. Because she is her own person, she is better than others.
She completed the task, and naturally she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Ning Yun watched her leave, and the corners of her mouth hooked. Her eyes were brighter and more agile than usual, and she looked like a mischievous little wild cat, waiting for her prey to fall into its trap.
Hmph, just allow him Shi Lingfeng to push me into the fire pit, and don't allow me to calculate him? He was so easy to bully when everyone else was? Regardless of whether he is true or not, I will give him this red cloud. Since he wants to pretend to be a filial son, his mother's people will definitely not dare to move. Red Cloud is placed there for him, even if it can't disgust him and obstruct his eyes, it's good.
****
Shi Lingfeng was in a bad mood. Especially after seeing the red cloud.
That woman dared to take him into the army. Dare to love yourself and become a graphite who is pushed around? Just so unwelcome?
If he hadn't seen her in person, Shi Lingfeng would have concluded without hesitation: This woman was just a pawn used by Mrs. Shi to suppress herself, and now, he didn't think so. From the first time he listened to her speak in Shadow Zhai, to the first time they met now. He always felt that something had changed. Yes, everything related to her is deviating from the original predetermined track.
In the previous life, it shouldn't have been like this.
In the memory of his previous life, the only impression he had of Bai Xiaochu was: small vision and stupid brain. Their relationship has always been very weak, no matter how hard Bai Xiaochu tries to please himself, he can't change his dislike for her.
But what about this life? Not only did she not please herself, but she made herself interested in him that she shouldn't have been.
All along, he has been watching the fire from the other side, letting things develop according to the trajectory of fate, even if he knows Mrs. Shi's calculations, he will not break them, just because he is waiting for the time when fate will finally appear, but now, there is a variable that he cannot control lightly.
A handsome and pretty face appeared in front of him, and a pair of eyes on it were as bright and agile as glass beads, which was eye-catching. When she looked down and thought, the whole person was like a little leopard that would get angry at any time, making people dare not approach lightly.
Since he protected himself like a chrysalis before breaking the cocoon, how could he be willing to be at the mercy of Mrs. Shi and marry into the Shi family?
Shi Lingfeng couldn't figure it out.
But one thing he knows for sure is that he needs to do it differently.
Early the next morning, Shi Lingfeng didn't eat, so he rode out of the house. Hongyun's eyes were bloodshot, and he stepped out of the study with a yawn, and met Mama Tian in the face.
Hongyun glanced at the black decoction in Mama Tian's hand, and immediately guessed what it was.
"Girl, drink it. It's the rule. ”
Hongyun twisted his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Mama Tian, I'm wronged!" I stayed in the study all night, but the second master didn't even touch me with a finger, and let me grind the ink all night. My arm is still sore. "This shunzi soup is not a good thing for a woman, she doesn't want to drink it. If this old pious woman secretly adds some material and makes her unable to have children, then her life will not be ruined?
Mama Tian didn't care about this, so she immediately lowered her face and said, "Girl, I advise you not to waste your efforts, I have heard too many excuses like this." I drank it early, which also saved us energy. ”
Where will the red cloud come, bypass her and leave. Unexpectedly, this Mama Tian was followed by two rough envoys, without saying a word, one twisted Hongyun's arm, and the other kicked her leg violently, Hongyun screamed in pain and knelt on the ground.
"You...... You're doing the opposite. When the second master comes back and knows, I won't smash your face! Hongyun didn't give up, opened his mouth and shouted, seeing that Mama Tian was still holding the bowl close to him, he hurriedly changed his rhetoric and continued: "Old Qianwu, you let go of me!" I want to see Madame, Madame said, when the matter is done, she will raise me as an aunt, you ...... You dare to do this to me, Madame will never spare you when she knows it! She knew that Mama Tian was Mrs. Shi's person, and she thought that by saying this, she would be able to make her spare herself.
Who knew that Mama Tian was not afraid of laughing, so she leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "The girl is so capable." Then what if I say, this medicine is given to you by your wife? So do you drink it, or don't you drink it? ”
Hongyun's eyes widened, his face in disbelief.
While she was stunned, Mama Tian had already pinched her chin and poured a bowl of soup potion into Hongyun's mouth. After that, one hand pinched her throat to prevent her from spitting out, and the other hand pinched the thin skin and tender flesh on the inside of her arm.
Hongyun was in pain, gasped, and swallowed the decoction in his mouth. Choked her snot and tears, and she coughed violently on the ground.
From afar, when Caiyue saw this scene, she originally wanted to go over and help her after many years of feelings, but after hearing the sentence "Lift your aunt after the matter is done", she just suppressed the unbearable in her heart, stomped her foot and threw out a sentence of "deserved", and turned her head to report to the master.
Ning Yun was fiddling with the pen and ink that people bought back and the rice paper for painting, and after listening to Caiyue's reply, she just nodded, dipped the pen in the ink, and put it on the rice paper, watching the ink slowly fade away, and praised: "Yes, it's good paper." ”
Ning Yun said again: "Caiyue, this rice paper, you can buy some more." Then I picked a good screen with Yuchai, separated the window position in the east room, and placed a table in it, which was only used by me in the future, and instructed other people in the courtyard not to enter without my orders. ”
Caiyue nodded in response. These days, she has also learned to be smarter, although she still wants to say a few more words about Hongyun, but the master doesn't ask, so she doesn't open her mouth anymore, and she takes the order to go to find the jade hairpin to do something.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it to her master, so she could only chant in front of Yuchai, and told Yuchai everything she had heard and seen outside the study before.
Yuchai is younger than her, but her mind is more delicate than her, and she said: "Sister Hongyun's thoughts, the master is afraid that he has known for a long time." I looked, since I woke up injured, the master and her demeanor are not ordinary, and now she understands. Sister Caiyue, don't worry, I think as long as the master still acts like he does now, we will definitely not be bullied by the Shi family in the future. ”
Yuchai remembered that Ning Yun went to Mrs. Shi to retire again, and her heart was full of admiration and peace of mind. It is really a blessing for them that the master has become like this, otherwise, they don't know how to be bullied in the Shi family!
Caiyue also nodded and said, "That's the same." Alas, I'm an anxious person, unlike my sister, you can handle things in your heart. I listened to Hongyun's words of 'lifting my aunt', and I was as anxious as a monkey. Hongyun grew up with me, I don't want her to be good, but I know her character best, since she can do such a thing first, she will inevitably go all the way to the end, and she will not look back until she reaches her goal. The master hung her like this, and he didn't care about it, I was afraid that Hongyun would be used again and make a bigger mistake. At that time, it will not be enough for her to lose her life. ”
After a pause, Caiyue pointed in the direction of Ruixiang Courtyard again, and said in a low voice: "And that one, it's too deceitful!" Is this all we have to swallow? ”
Yuchai shook her head, and also whispered: "Sister Caiyue, when you are the master, doesn't she know this reason?" As subordinates, we are still angry, let alone the master? However, you don't want to think about it, even if you can't swallow this breath, what can you do? Looking at this historian today, who is the biggest? Even if that person colludes with Red Cloud finds out, what's the use? ”
After Yuchai said this, Caiyue suddenly realized: Yes, now Mrs. Shi is the biggest. Master Shi is also afraid of guilt, and he will definitely not stand up and make decisions for his master. Therefore, even if they take advantage of the situation and make trouble, they must be the ones who suffer.
Now that I think about it, it's still the master's end. If you're calm all day, you're definitely waiting for the right moment. Doesn't it mean that the ancestors are still healthy? Hmph, when the old ancestor comes back, that one will have to bear!
Thinking about this, Caiyue admired her master more and more. made up his mind that no matter how the master dealt with Hongyun's affairs, he had to be on an errand, and at the same time watch Hongyun, so as not to let her make another mistake before the ancestor returned to Beijing.
How did Mrs. Shi know that she was being talked about like this, and now that she listened to Mama Tian's reply, she was happy for the "obedience" of her eldest daughter-in-law! It seems that my own deterrence is very effective. Presumably she doesn't have the courage to disobey herself, so that she can put her mind on Huan'er's marriage. I don't know what Miss Sun Wu's appearance and character are, if it's not good, even if she picks more, she must not be wronged Huan'er!.
