Chapter Twenty-Six: Wrong Again
Mei Zhi's fierceness is very famous among the subordinates of the Shen Mansion, so after Zhong Liyue beat her, she also became a celebrity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at their expressions, Zhong Liyue knew that her goal had been achieved. She said it all on purpose, so as to give them a disadvantage. Her fierce reputation is outside, and they know that they will be more restrained in the future, and they dare not bully her casually. Otherwise, if they bullied her, in order not to go to jail and not to affect Mingyue, she might have endured it.
After moving the sundries, Zhong Liyue returned to the room and found a brand new set of sheets and a clean maid dress on the table. Looking at Ruodong and Nianqiu, who had already slept, Zhong Liyue smiled, I don't know if they brought it to her because of kindness or because they were afraid, in short, she got benefits.
With her new clothes in hand, she went to the shower next to the utility room and took a cool shower.
After washing, she lay comfortably on the bed, but she couldn't sleep. It was quiet inside the house, and it was quiet outside, except for the occasional insect chirp.
An inexplicable sense of loneliness invaded from all directions.
Zhong Liyue felt like a duckweed, floating alone.
I've been here for so long, but there is always a lack of a sense of belonging, which always makes her feel inexplicably melancholy and uneasy in the dead of night.
"When I was a child, when I was noisy and willful, my grandmother would always sing and coax me ......" Zhong Liyue hummed. She tried to use her singing voice to dispel the sorrow in her heart.
After everyone changes an environment, they will gradually get used to it. However, the friends are still there, and the people and things around them are also very different. And the environmental transformation that transcends time and space like Zhong Liyue is completely different. Without a familiar living environment, there is not even a friend around who can understand her complaints, and that feeling of discomfort and loneliness really takes a long time to change.
"Come on!" Zhong Liyue gently cheered herself up. Then, she closed her eyes and forced herself to rest.
Everything seemed to be quiet, and only the study room was still bright in the entire bamboo garden.
In the study, Shen Zhaoyan sat behind the desk, looked at the man who came in in surprise, and asked, "Is there something wrong with my cousin coming over so late?" ”
"You're usually busy, and I can't see you during the day, so I can only wait for the evening. I heard a report from someone that you released that girl from the firewood room and stayed in the bamboo garden to do things, so I'll come and check it. ”
Shen Zhaoyan admitted: "I ordered it."
Cheng Yi looked incomprehensible, "Don't you think that girl is a troublemaker?" It's only been a few days since she came to the house, and it's just one thing after another, aren't you afraid that she will toss out any more moths in your bamboo garden? ”
"That's why I have to watch it. Her every move is under her nose, isn't she much more relieved? ”
"Looking at her?" Cheng Yizhi was surprised, and after a long pause, he suddenly smiled and said tentatively: "Zhaoyan can't be in love with her, right?" ”
Shen Zhaoyan raised his head and asked rhetorically as if he had heard something very absurd, "What does my cousin think?" ”
"There are more beautiful girls than her in and outside the house, and I haven't seen you see one." After Cheng Yizhi finished speaking, he knew the answer, but he just couldn't understand it, since he didn't like it, why did he deliberately watch it by his side?
Shen Zhaoyan said lightly: "It's the love that the sixth master begged for." ”
"Sixth Master?" Cheng Yizhi was stunned, did the sixth master take a fancy to her? The sixth master has been alone for many years, and I heard that when he was young, he swore not to marry for the sake of his deceased beloved, but now he can't bear it?
"I still have a lot of accounts to be right, if my cousin has anything else to say, let's talk about it!"
The implication is that if it's okay, please go back!
Cheng Yizhi still has this bit of eyesight, but he really has something to say: "The Fan family sent an invitation today, and Fan Daqianjin will marry on the sixteenth of next month." Want to reply? ”
Shen Zhaoyan thought about it and arranged: "You go and ask Mingde, if there are no other important arrangements for the ****, go back, I will be on time." ”
Cheng Yizhi raised his eyebrows, responded with a 'yes', and then withdrew.
In the room, Shen Zhaoyan lowered his head and carefully checked the account books sent by all parties in the afternoon.
After a long time, as the night grew darker, he closed his sour eyes tiredly, closed the ledger in his hand, and ordered, "Prepare hot water." ”
The maid who had been guarding outside heard the sound, answered softly, and immediately got busy.
The day passed in a hurry, and a new day began.
The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, Chun Qiao just came back from the night, and pulled Zhong Liyue, who had not slept enough, back from his sleep.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Zhong Liyue cheered up, quickly got up, got dressed, arranged the bedding, and waited for instructions.
"Come here." Chun Qiao led Zhong Liyue to the small kitchen on the east side. The kitchenette in the bamboo garden is delicate and small, with only a small stove for hot water and hot meals. When they entered, Zhixia was boiling hot water and making tea inside. Chun Qiao said: "The eldest young master goes out early every day, and we, as slaves, must prepare hot water and breakfast before the eldest young master gets up. ”
After looking at the small kitchen, Chun Qiao led Zhong Liyue to the outside of the bedroom where the eldest young master was resting.
"I am responsible for the dressing of the eldest young master on weekdays, Ruodong and Nianqiu are in charge of breakfast, and Zhixia is responsible for making a fire and boiling water. Whoever is on duty for the four of us at night must do our business the next morning. After Chun Qiao finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, "At the end of the day, the eldest young master will inevitably get up, I will go in now to serve the eldest young master, you follow me in to get the copper basin, and then go to fetch water to wash the eldest young master." ”
Zhong Liyue nodded and followed Chun Qiao's instructions one by one.
In the room, Shen Zhaoyan was already dressed, Zhong Liyue went in with a copper basin, put it on the shelf, and said, "The water is ready." ”
Chun Qiao glanced at her, and her face suddenly changed in shock. She immediately walked over and pulled Zhong Liyue's sleeve and reprimanded: "I just told you yesterday that this is not your village, look at your arm, what does it look like?!" ”
Zhong Liyue reluctantly put down her rolled up sleeves, and said in her belly, the weather is so hot, what's wrong with the dew point arm! "I'm afraid of getting my clothes wet."
"There are so many clothes that you can change." Chun Qiao reprimanded in a low voice.
Shen Zhaoyan walked over and didn't say anything, not even looking at them. He lifted his arm and let the sleeve slide down, then put his hand into the copper basin, and as soon as he put it in, he shrank back in terror. I saw him frown, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Why is it cold?" ”
Chun Tao hurriedly turned around and tried her hand, her face suddenly sank, and she angrily reprimanded, "What's the matter with you? Can't let you make a basin of hot water? How precious is the eldest young master's body? If you freeze to death, your ten lives will not be enough to compensate. If it is winter, you quickly go and change the basin of hot water. ”
"Yes." Ruodong nodded hurriedly in fright, and trotted out with a copper basin.
Wrong again!
Zhong Liyue felt so helpless. She seemed to start making mistakes early in the morning, but in her heart she felt that she was not wrong at all.
Chun Qiao knelt down in front of Shen Zhaoyan: "It's all to blame for the slave's negligence, I didn't expect her to be able to do this little thing well." Let the eldest young master be frightened, please punish the eldest young master. Then he glared at Zhong Liyue obliquely and said, "Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?" ”
Zhong Liyue rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say, "In this kind of weather, can you freeze people?" Young Master, you are a big man, tall and big, you are not so delicate, right? ”
