Chapter 98: Not a child
The next day, the dim sky was gray, the drizzle hung between the sky and the earth like a bead curtain, and the jade beads fell between the blue bricks and green tiles, knocking on the bluestone road and rockery, making up the crisp and pleasant music.
The exquisitely carved Yilan Courtyard is shrouded in a hazy rain curtain, like a landscape painting with beautiful scenery.
In the early morning, the slaves and maids had already gotten up and were busy with their work, and their graceful figures shuttled between the corridors in the courtyard.
Huilan and Mo Lan are two of them, because there was no vigil last night, both of them were full of energy, they were also wearing cyan maid clothes, and a simple jade hairpin was inserted in their hair buns, which was given to them by Ling Yiyi, although it was simple, it was made of fine jasper, and it was given by Ling Yiyi.
Mo Lan carried the steaming washbasin, and Hui Lan carried other toiletries, talking and laughing into Ling Yiyi's room.
Passing by the outhouse where there was no one, I turned the screen carved with the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju and Ju, and looked at the arched mass on the big bed with some amusement.
Mo Lan put the things in his hand to the side, walked to the stove in the house, added some charcoal to it, and did not forget to turn his head and whisper to the ball that arched on the bed and shouted, "Miss, it's time to get up!" β
Ling Yiyi was tightly covered by the gorgeous brocade quilt, only revealing a delicate little head outside, hearing Mo Lan's voice, she closed her eyes tightly and turned to the inside of the bed to continue sleeping.
Listening to the sound of the rain outside, like a lullaby to lulla, she just wants to sleep now, and she doesn't want to get up at all.
Huilan put down the toiletries and turned to help Ling Yiyi get clothes in the closet, with a smile in her gentle eyes.
"Miss, yesterday the old lady was exempted from your grounding! Today, you have to go to Xiangyuan to say hello to the third lady, and then you have to go to the meditation courtyard to say hello to the old lady! β
Hello, please?
Ling Yiyi suddenly opened her clear eyes, sat down on the bed, pulled the warm quilt with both hands to surround herself, and looked up at the busy two people suspiciously!
"Please! Is it the first day of the new year or the fifteenth day of the new year? Miss Ben remembers that in the past, Miss Ben only went to ask for peace on the first and fifteenth days of junior high school! β
The old lady has always disliked Ling Yiyi, and she can't wait to let Ling Yiyi roll as far away as possible, it's best not to appear in front of her, and Ling Yiyi used to be a rude and willful lord, and she didn't like to salute and greet her at every turn, so in the past, for the sake of the reputation of the General's Mansion, the old lady asked Ling Yiyi to go to ask for peace on the fifteenth day of the first month, and she should be the face of the General's Mansion and Ling Yiyi!
As soon as Huilan heard Ling Yiyi's question, she took the hand of the gorgeous skirt for a moment, and immediately walked towards Ling Yiyi, who was waiting for an answer, with a set of smoky purple silk ruyi skirts, and lowered her head and whispered.
"Miss, early this morning, the big girl Qiu Yan next to the old lady has come! It was said that the old lady spoke, and since the young lady has recovered, in the future, like the other young ladies, she will go to ask for peace every day, and then go to the academy to study together! β
After speaking, Huilan stood in place with her head held high with joy, and smiled at Ling Yiyi with pride in her gentle eyes.
For the young lady who has never been liked by the old lady, this is an honor that has not been seen before!
Mo Lan clapped her hands quietly and walked over, her steady face was also full of joy, and she whispered in a brisk tone.
"Miss, it seems that the old lady values Miss more and more, and wants to promote and cultivate Miss!"
Ling Yiyi lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, took Yanxia Ruyi and put it on quickly, glanced at the two who were happy for her with an uncertain expression, and couldn't help but snort secretly in her heart.
The old lady is afraid that after listening to Mama Zhou's reply yesterday, she is smarter than before, and wants to turn her into an obedient and useful chess piece! Want to nurture her? Don't ask her if she agrees!
She Ling Yiyi used to be stupid, stupid and naΓ―ve, and any person could lead her by the nose, but now she will never let herself become a pawn at the mercy of others.
She would rather be the floating duckweed than become a pawn caught in the whirlpool of power and discarded at any time, even if she can't help it, she has to work hard to be the one who plays chess.
Mo Lan picked up the belt, and found Ling Yiyi's eyes as sharp as arrows, looking at a certain ethereal point, knowing that the young lady didn't seem to be happy, she immediately put away the joy on her face, and cautiously lowered her head to help Ling Yiyi arrange her gorgeous dress.
Hui Lan, who had never heard Ling Yiyi's answer, was walking over with a big red coat, and looked at Mo Lan, who also did not speak but lowered her head, and was shocked.
She didn't understand how Miss's little face, which was still very bright just now, was so calm and so deep that people didn't dare to look at it more.
Ling Yiyi tied the red fox fur coat, felt the soft and warm fox fur, the corners of her mouth hooked a faint arc, and smiled back lightly.
"You remember the three of Miss Ben, Miss Ben is used to the unrestrained life, and she just wants to be that arrogant and willful Ling Yiyi! I don't want to be valued and cultivated by the old lady! β
After speaking, the red figure lifted the heavy curtain and strode out of the boudoir like the wind!
Mo Lan and Hui Lan were shocked when they heard the young lady's straightforward answer, looked at each other, lifted their skirts and chased after them.
Originally, the young lady was the same as before, she didn't like to be detained, and she didn't like the old lady and the other ladies, but she still liked to live an unrestrained life!
Ling Yiyi strode out of the door, taking advantage of the gray sky, looking at the beautiful scenery of the water and the sky, and her cheeks piled up a lovely smile.
Just thinking of going to Xiangyuan and Jingxin Courtyard to ask for peace in this drizzle, cold and cold weather, the whole little face collapsed, but the fast pace under his feet did not change at all.
Huilan and Mo Lan didn't dare to follow behind Ling Yiyi, cautiously peeked at Ling Yiyi, who looked displeased, exchanged glances, and trotted tightly behind him.
Ling Yiyi in the cold wind, her hands tightened her big red and soft fox coat, and strode through the crooked corridor, feeling extremely bad!
In this winter, it is still raining, and she usually doesn't have to go to ask for peace, but she is forced to brave the rain to ask for peace, where can she be in a good mood? But there is no way, the old lady has asked the big maids around her to invite, if she doesn't go over to ask for peace, it means that she Ling Yiyi is not filial, no need for tomorrow, just today, she will be drowned by the ladies and ladies in the general's mansion, one by one.
Tie Lan didn't know when she appeared in front of Ling Yiyi, holding a pair of clogs in her left hand and an elegant oil-paper umbrella in her right hand, blocking Ling Yiyi's way.
Ling Yiyi glanced at Tielan who was blocking the way, and was a little puzzled in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged, but she was so depressed.
"Miss, the slave has already asked people to carry the sedan chair outside the courtyard, you put on the clogs first!"
Tie Lan said with concern as she bent down and put the clogs on the ground, with no superfluous expression on her simple face, still giving people an honest and wooden feeling.
Hui Lan and Mo Lan, who were following behind, immediately stepped forward, squatting down one left and one right, ready to help Ling Yiyi wear clogs.
Ling Yiyi took a step back a little unaccustomedly, avoiding the white and tender hands of the two, and stared at the two sternly, "Get up!" Miss Ben is not a child of two or three years old, she can wear it herself! β
After all, the little feet in the embroidered shoes are directly inserted into the clogs.
Ling Yiyi didn't know why, since she woke up from falling into the water, she was very unaccustomed to being served, especially when she was kneeling around.
Mo Lan and Hui Lan glanced at each other, they had been following Miss for more than half a month, and they had basically understood Miss Miss's temperament, and stood directly behind Tie Lan.
Today's young ladies don't like to be served, they don't like to be kept vigil, they don't like to be self-determined, they don't like to be restrained, and they don't like them to kneel at every turn, which makes them very moved and feel that they are a little redundant!
Ling Yiyi took the elegant oil-paper umbrella handed to her by Tie Lan, dressed in the clogs she didn't like very much, and walked up to the ear porch, "Let's go!" β
I don't know why, she really wants to wear the boots worn by the strange woman in her head, practical and good-looking, not afraid of getting wet when it rains, and it looks very warm.
Now in this Northern Zhou Dynasty, when it rains, I actually wear clogs, and those rains will wet embroidered shoes, but it is better than wearing embroidered shoes directly and treading water.
Tie Lan's left hand was placed on the hilt of the sword, and she dutifully walked half a step behind Ling Yiyi.
Her job is to keep the young lady safe! Miss's martial arts are really terrible, and she can't even escape lightly, for the safety of Miss, she really can't leave Miss for a single step.
Because the last time Ling Yiyi went to Taigu Mountain alone, she had never seen Tielan, who was as neat as mowing grass, and she didn't know that the young lady of her family was self-taught, and her martial arts were weird and harmful.
Mo Lan and Hui Lan had the same maid costumes, and they walked quickly at the end, some of them couldn't keep up with Ling Yiyi and Tielan's pace, so they directly lifted their skirts and trotted to keep up!
Ling Yiyi heard the footsteps behind her, sighed in her heart, and naturally slowed down her feet, holding a small umbrella elegantly, and elegantly walking on the bluestone road in the drizzle.
The pavilions and pavilions of blue bricks and red tiles, the bluestone road that has been washed clean and shiny, the hazy drizzle, and the verdant lawns and trees form a beautiful landscape painting, and the smart girl holding the umbrella and the three girls in green clothes behind her are the beating elves in the painting.
