Chapter Eighty-Six: Psychological Tactics
The noon time is pure, people can't stand the scorching sun, in the shade of the house or rest or quiet work, a little quiet, only the outside of the cicadas have nowhere to hide, complaining loudly.
Huashang Yuan study.
The poisonous sun outside, which was just avoided by the shade inside the house, seemed to be blocked out of the outside sound, and it was quiet and peaceful.
Su Qianling teased his sleeve with his left hand, and drew something on the rice paper with his right hand, his clothes were still as usual, although he was simple but tasteless, there was no excess carmine powder on his face, but his complexion was full of powder, like a porcelain doll.
Zhihua and Mozi waited on both sides, without sound.
With a "squeak" of the door opening, Zhiyan walked in from outside, as if roasted by the scorching sun, with a bit of red burning sensation on his face.
"Miss!"
Zhiyan walked inside, his expression changed, and his voice was slightly low.
Seriously painted the last stroke in the sky, looked at it from a distance, and seemed to be quite satisfied, Su Qianling put down the pen in his hand, and then raised his head.
"Why are you so impatient at noon?"
Seeing that the expression on Zhiyan's face was wrong, Su Qianling's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice was still steady and soft, without the slightest reprimand.
His face sank, Zhiyan raised his head and looked at Su Qianling, and his voice was indignant: "The fourth lady is here, and she said that she wants to see Miss!" ”
Zhihua and Mo Zi didn't speak on the side, but their faces changed significantly, and after doing such a shameless thing, the fourth lady still dared to come to Huashang Academy? Don't talk back, her scriptures have been copied?
Su Qianling didn't have any surprise on her face, as the old lady's birthday approached, it was almost time to release it, but she didn't take advantage of the Qinglin Courtyard to find herself, but came to Huashang Courtyard alone, which was a bit of a novelty.
"Let's just say I'm taking a lunch break."
Can a mistake be solved with just one apology? Do you still expect her to be as soft-hearted as in her previous life, regardless of past suspicions, and still be good sisters? It's a dream!
In her previous life, she may still believe that people have the heart of repentance, but after a trip to purgatory, she only believes that sometimes people's thoughts come from the depths of their hearts*, as long as there is*, no matter how sincere they are, they can't shake this stubborn stone!
Pulling out the painting just now, Su Qianling changed it again, pressed the anvil on the rice paper, and continued the painting just now, the painting is the same content, but the mood has changed, and the meaning of the painting is naturally different.
Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, squeezed his eyes towards Zhihua and Mo Zi, and retreated, his steps were obviously a little easier than when he first came in.
Outside the yard.
The scorching sun was like fire, and the sun made people's hearts anxious, Su Qianlin looked inside while waiting, and she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, although she knew that the fourth aunt had already begged the eldest lady to invite, but Su Qianling still had to come over, after all, she had to count on her to bring benefits to herself later.
I can only hate that the last time I used red willow, this useless thing ruined my own good thing! Now it is still unknown whether Su Qianling can forgive herself, thinking of this, Su Qianlin's heart trembled for no reason.
Seeing Zhiyan come out from a distance, Su Qianlin was overjoyed, and then hurriedly walked out a few steps and greeted him.
As soon as I went out of the door, I saw Su Qianlin move under the shade of the tree, a sneer flashed under the eyes of Zhiyan, the fourth lady is still using the first set and the back set of temperament with ease, just now she was still sincere, and would rather brave the heat to see the third miss, but now no one saw it and hid in the shade, watching herself come out and hurriedly greet her, making people think that she has been waiting in the sun to win sympathy, this is the magic weapon she flattered in front of the eldest lady!
"Sister Zhiyan!"
Su Qianlin walked towards Zhiyan with anticipation and joy on her face.
Zhiyan hid the ridicule in his eyes, and his face was a little embarrassed: "It's really embarrassing that Miss Four has been waiting under the sun, but Miss Three is taking a lunch break, Mother Jin said that Miss Three has not slept well in the past two days, and now she finally sleeps, and no one is allowed to disturb her!" ”
The smile on Su Qianlin's face suddenly froze at the corner of her lips, and a touch of coldness flashed in her heart, she just came over after inquiring about the third sister painting, but now she said that she was sleeping, it must be these minions who want benefits!
"Sister Zhiyan has worked hard, I wonder when the third sister will wake up?" Su Qianlin forced a smile on her face, and reached out to stuff the three silver nudes she had saved by gritting her teeth into Zhiyan's hand.
"This can't be helped, if you let the third lady know that you took the fourth lady's silver, you have to peel my skin!"
The silver nude handed to the hand is like a hot potato, pushed back by Zhiyan, not afraid to accept it, but unwilling to accept it, on weekdays, relying on the eldest lady to pet the third lady hurt, she has not put pressure on the people below, and now they are dead, it is already very good that they did not fall into the well!
"The third lady just fell asleep, I can't say when I will wake up, or the fourth miss should go back first, it's not good if you have a heat stroke in this hot weather." Zhiyan said, although there was a smile on his face, it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, it was just a routine.
This is already an obvious rush out, Su Qianlin's eyes flashed a ruthlessness, and when she heard the word "heat stroke", her heart couldn't help but sink.
"Then I'll wait here, when the third sister wakes up, and bothers Sister Zhiyan to help me report it, I'll thank you here first."
While speaking, Su Qianlin had a sad and earnest look on her face, and two tears seemed to flow out of the corners of her eyes.
Zhiyan's heart trembled, Fourth Miss is going to use bitter meat tricks! persuaded again, Su Qianlin still looked like she couldn't see the third sister and didn't leave, Zhiyan was not happy, so she could only respond first, turn around and go to the study to report.
"Miss, if you stay here all the time, you're really going to get heat stroke, or let's come back another day!" Hongyu's eyes couldn't be opened, and she couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she looked at Su Qianlin as if she was at home.
"The third sister has always had soft ears, I'm like this, she will definitely see me, if I really have a heat stroke here with her, my mother will definitely not be able to watch it, you stand here, Zhiyan came out to inform me!"
Su Qianlin said, turned around and went to the bottom of the tree just now, and there was a touch of pride on her face while speaking, she has been with Su Qianling for so many years, she naturally understands her temperament, even if she is not happy in her heart, she has to maintain a dignified and generous image, she cares a lot about what others think of her.
Hongyu was forced to stand under the sun and wait, feeling distressed but didn't dare to speak, she could only hope that Zhiyan would come out and rescue her quickly.
I didn't know how many paintings had been produced in my hand, Su Qianling compared them one by one, and none of them seemed to be very satisfactory to him, and when he heard Zhiyan's report, his face instantly fell.
"She's willing to wait for that, just wait, now that I'm really tired, I know how to paint, go make the bed, I want to take a lunch break." While speaking, Su Qianling put the pen in his hand on the pen stand, turned around and was about to go to the back room.
Originally, he was still a little resentful, but now when he heard Su Qianling say this, Zhiyan was a little more worried, and he was already sweating after only two trips, if he really stood outside for half an hour, he would really suffer from heat stroke, and if everyone talked about it, it would not be good for the third lady.
"When I came here just now, I saw that the fourth lady was much thinner than before, if she really fainted outside our yard, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good if there were too many people......" Zhiyan said as he looked at Su Qianling's cold face, and didn't dare to continue, rubbing his hands together, just waiting for her to speak.
"The mouth grows on other people's faces, they love to say, we can't control it, the fourth lady is not afraid of being embarrassed and faints outside the Huashang Courtyard, I want to see what the words that come out of other people's mouths will be said!" The voice was cold without a trace of temperature, and after Su Qianling finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Liwu without stopping for another step.
Zhiyan lowered his head and thought about it, it seemed that what Miss Third said made some sense, and she had avoided Miss Four, but now she simply didn't care!
The time for a stick of incense has passed, but there is still no figure coming out, Su Qianlin can't help but muttering in her heart, is the third sister really taking a nap? But it's time to wake up now!
Raising her head and looking at the scorching sun directly above her head, Su Qianlin couldn't help but take a handkerchief to wipe her sweat again, and the handkerchief she had just changed was already soaked again in a blink of an eye.
Hongyu has suffered since she was a child, and she stared at the sun when she was a child, but it was the first time she stood for so long, and now she only feels that her feet are soft and her legs are numb, and she feels like she wants to vomit, and she can't stand still and start to shake.
Looking at the red jade staggering and about to fall, a different color flashed in Su Qianlin's eyes, if she fainted here, if others saw it, would it be lively? At that time, the third sister will be in the way of face, even if she is unwilling in her heart, she will have to get by on the face, so won't today's things be much smoother?
Thinking about it, a smile provoked at the corner of her lips, Su Qianlin was just about to stand up, and after thinking about it, her heart became gloomy again, the previous things have been known to everyone, if it weren't for the eldest lady, I'm afraid that she would have drowned her by a mouthful of spittle, if there was a disturbance in Huashang Courtyard today, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping her face?
Thinking of this, Su Qianlin hurriedly shouted to the red jade who was lowered by the sun: "Come and sit in the shade!" ”
I never felt that Su Qianlin's voice was so beautiful, and when she was about to hold on, this sentence was like saving her life, turning around, even if she was staggering, Hongyu also walked to the bottom of the tree very quickly, and before she had time to say more, the whole person sat on the stone bench like a broken shelf.
After a good night's sleep, Su Qianling woke up leisurely, washed up slowly, and only turned around when Jin's mother combed her hair and looked at her peaceful face through the bronze mirror.
"Let Fourth Miss come in!" Su Qianling stretched out her hand to take the tea handed by Zhihua and said casually.
After a pause, I remembered the fourth lady, I don't know how it is now, I answered, turned around and walked outside, and my steps were a little tighter.
Entering the house, Su Qianlin and Hongyu seemed to have ascended to the sky, and the coolness from the ice cubes placed everywhere hit from everywhere, and the whole body was much more comfortable in an instant.
"Third Sister ......"
The moment she saw Su Qianling, Su Qianlin's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she knelt in front of her with her knees bent.
Lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Qianlin, a sneer flashed in his eyes, looking at this cute little face, a resentment suddenly swelled in his heart, and all turned into a leisurely smile on his face.
Aren't you here to apologize? I'm sorry to accept it, you have to take care of the consequences yourself!
