There was a napping maid squatting outside the door of the west wing, her hands were lying on her knees, her eyelids were drooping, her snoring gradually started, and there were two drops of crystal saliva on the dark green sleeve corners, which showed that she had slept for a while.

Ning Jinyun looked down at her, and couldn't remember her name for a while, but felt that the fat girl in front of her was a little familiar.

"Ah Lian, you are lazy again!"

At this time, Qingyun behind him scolded angrily, and her tone was a little helpless, but the maid still didn't wake up, only the snoring stopped.

It turned out to be Ah Lian, Ning Jinyun narrowed a pair of apricot eyes thoughtfully, and the memories of being fourteen years old were hooked up little by little, and even her eyes unconsciously became a little more complicated. There are indeed a lot of maids and wives in her Red Peony Courtyard, but there are very few who are really dedicated, most of them are lazy and slippery, and among them, the laziest must be this Ah Lian.

Ah Lian is only about fifteen years old, although she is young, but her mouth and heart are more sophisticated than anyone else, she serves by Aunt Wen's side all the year round, and she will only coax her aunt with good words, and she usually reaps a lot of benefits, but she doesn't do much work. Every time Aunt Wen told her to do something, she was fooling around and hastily doing things, and she didn't care at all.

Aunt Wen has a gentle temperament and never bears too much harsh criticism of Ah Lian, which also makes Ah Lian's inertia grow more and more, and she is more and more unscrupulous, and even dares to put down her errands in broad daylight, and actually squats at the door to sleep.

Ning Jinyun stretched out his foot and kicked Ah Lian's shoes twice, cleared his throat, and called, "Ah Lian, wake up!" ”

Ah Lian felt the movement in front of her feet, and slowly opened her eyes, with a somewhat impatient look on her face, until she heard Ning Jinyun's voice, she raised her head and looked at it twice.

"It's the second miss who is here, the second miss, please come in." Ah Lian stood up, one hand still hanging down her numb thigh, and said casually.

Ning Jinyun lowered her face, her eyes became cold, she knew that she was a good-natured master in the past, just like a ripe soft persimmon, at the mercy of her subordinates, so even if Ah Lian and the others saw her, they had no respect.

She couldn't help but feel stunned, and shouted in a low voice, "Do you still know that I am the second miss?" Those who don't know think you're the master! Do you dare to be blatantly lazy in the middle of the day, do you take my words as a deaf ear, and when will I allow you to sleep here? ”

As soon as these words came out, Qingyun and Ah Lian were stunned at the same time, the second lady they had known for a long time had never been so strict.

What's going on.

Ah Lian was taken aback, panicked, and had to lower her head and admit her mistake in a low voice, "Back to the second miss, the slave is just a maid, how dare you ignore your words, the slave and the maid are too sleepy, so they didn't stay up and take a nap for a while, this is the slave's fault, the slave knows the mistake and admits the punishment." ”

She thought that as long as she admitted her mistake, she would be able to fool the past and not worry.

"What a flamboyant girl, her mouth is quite good at talking." Ning Jinyun looked at her coldly, "Of course I have to punish you, otherwise you don't know what kind of arrogance you want to be." Since you like to take a nap at the door, then you will be punished to kneel here until this hour of the to-morrow, and you will not be allowed to eat, nor drink, nor sleep. ”

This Ah Lian is really excessive, and she will only fool her master with clever words all day long, and she can't do it if she doesn't punish her.

Ah Lian stared in disbelief, she didn't expect to be punished for kneeling for a whole day, such a serious punishment had never appeared in the Red Peony Courtyard. She hurriedly begged, "Miss, this is too ruthless, the slave's leg was cold last winter, it is really not appropriate to kneel like this, why don't you open the net and spare the slave this time?" ”

Ning Jinyun shook his head, "You haven't even done any heavy work, how can a good person suffer from the cold, how don't I know?" If you dare to pretend to be sick and plead again, I will punish you to kneel for three days and three nights. ”

Hearing this, Ah Lian had to be silenced, she pouted reluctantly, rolled her eyes secretly, and prepared to kneel.

"Wait, don't rush to kneel yet." Ning Jinyun turned his head and instructed Qing Yun, "You go to the flower garden in the backyard to find some stones." ”

Qing Yun was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask what was the use of finding stones, but when her eyes fell on Ah Lian's body at the next moment, she immediately understood.

She replied with a smile, "Miss, don't worry, the slave will come when she goes." ”

And Ah Lian hadn't been able to understand what Ning Jinyun meant, she was holding her trouser legs at a loss, not knowing whether she should continue to kneel, the broken hair on her forehead was so many and messy that it seemed that the whole person had become sloppy, and with her current antics, it was really difficult to hide her embarrassment.

Qingyun ran back as soon as she slipped away, with an extra copper basin pebble in her hand, Ning Jinyun put her slender hand on the stone, and instantly felt the protruding side on it, if someone knelt directly on it, she would definitely be very uncomfortable.

But it won't get hurt.

Ning Jinyun raised his hand and overturned the copper basin with great force, allowing many small stones to scatter on the ground with a "bang", and the stones fell on the clean ground, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Okay, kneel, just kneel on the stone, and don't move for a whole day." Ning Jinyun pointed to the ground, his voice cold.

Ah Lian didn't dare to disobey, she bit her lip and knelt down slowly, the tangled look on her face fully showed that she was extremely uncomfortable now, but she didn't have the courage to make any resistance, so that there were tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ning Jinyun let out a long breath and walked straight into the door, making a "clucking" sound from the soles of his feet.

As soon as the heavy brocade curtain was lifted, what caught her eye was Aunt Wen who was lying on the carved rosewood bed, she was a few years younger than Ning Jinyun's memory, with fair skin, almost no wrinkles on her smooth and delicate face, and the red jade earrings worn on both sides lined with a delicate goose egg face, a beautiful woman.

Ning Jinyun walked to the side of the bed gently, carefully looking at the sleeping Wen, Aunt Wen was still so dignified, even when she fell asleep, she would show a kind smile, this situation made her feel as if she had returned to her childhood. The past and grievances in the depths of her memory suddenly came to her heart, Ning Jinyun couldn't control her emotions anymore, and gradually her eyes turned red, she first cried silently, and then finally couldn't help it, let go of her voice and cried.

Aunt Wen's eyelashes were long and dense, and the gentle sunlight left a neat row of shadows on her eyelashes, and when she smelled the cry, her eyelashes blinked twice, and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of friendly and lovely beautiful eyes.

"Yun'er...... You, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Wen was extremely puzzled, and immediately sat up and asked anxiously.

Ning Jinyun threw herself into Aunt Wen's arms and cried silently.
