More from Chapter 16 The Boudoir

In the room, the table carved from fine sandalwood is delicately carved with different patterns, and the delicate and gentle belonging to the daughter's family is circulating everywhere. The gold-lacquered vase on the desk is full of white chrysanthemums. The various brushes on the pen holder are neatly arranged like a forest. A jade carved screen on the west wall, divided into four sections, each carved with the pattern of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, beautifully carved, obviously from the hands of a famous artist.

Deng Sui held the book, fascinated, and the sunlight shone obliquely on her body from the window, warm. Zhao Yu had fallen asleep on his stomach a few times, with a naïve look, and from time to time he made two snoring sounds when he was asleep.

Deng Sui glanced at her, smiled, stretched his waist, squinted lazily, opened his hands mischievously, pretended to be a cat, and made a cat meow, which was so cute. "Meow-meow-" Zhao Yu wiped a handful of saliva that was about to come out, tilted his head sideways, and muttered in a messy voice: "This dead cat, don't disturb the study, go away, earn away-" After that, he fell asleep again.

Deng Sui pursed his lips and smiled, and his little face bloomed like a spring flower. Suddenly, I heard Pei Lingyu outside the door, but it was Yin Li who came to see her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yu sleeping soundly, and said with a smile: "Sui'er, look at her sleeping." After that, he took the silk handkerchief, walked lightly to Zhao Yu, and touched Zhao Yu's nose with the corner of the handkerchief.

Zhao Yu touched his nose with his hand, turned his head again, and went back to sleep. The two girls couldn't help but smile at each other, and Deng Sui said: "Let her be, she accompanies me to study every night, with her sex, it's not bad." ”

Yin Li pouted and said, "You are used to her, if my maid slept in front of me like this, she would have been slapped twice." ”

Deng Sui took her hand and said: "Why bother, it's not easy to subordinate people, it still hurts if you beat people, just restrain them more." ”

Lian'er, the maid who followed Yin Li, glanced at Deng Sui gratefully, and thought to herself, why didn't she follow such a master?

"That's not good, you know, these people, if the sky doesn't fight, they don't know the rules. My father said that you have to be ruthless when you manage people, so they are afraid of you. By the way, Sui'er, what book are you reading? Yin Li bowed and stood up and took the book that Deng Sui had just read.

Seeing that it was the Book of Changes, he said: "Sui'er, I can't read this book, when I was a child, I read "Big", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Changes" very carefully, and I had a headache when I saw "Book of Changes" alone. Dad said that if you can't read the Book of Changes, you won't know how to do things, but I also handle it very well. ”

She tilted her head, her long eyelashes twitched a few times, and she smiled smartly. Deng Sui nodded her head: "You, praise yourself, you are not ashamed." ”

"No, Li'er has been able to keep the maids around her obedient since she was a child, but how can you read the Book of Changes!"

Sui'er took the book and turned to a page and said: "Look at this sentence, you are not arrogant in the top position, and you are not worried in the lower position." Therefore, Qiankun is not to blame because of its time, although it is dangerous. That is to say, to be in a high position and not to be proud, and to be subordinate to others without sorrow. Therefore, it is said that self-improvement and self-reflection at any time, although facing danger but no disaster. Such sentences teach us how to be a human being, how to survive in any environment. Isn't it good? ”

Yin Li flattened her mouth, "These truths are acceptable to read, but I can't read the hexagrams inside." ”

Sui'er smiled, "The meaning of the book, if you don't understand it, you will lose the original intention of reading, and it is better for Li'er not to read it." ”

Hearing her say this, Yin Li chuckled: "Sui'er still knows my thoughts." ”

At this time, Zhao Yu heard someone talking, so he woke up, and when he saw Yin Li coming, he stood up embarrassedly and saluted: "The watch is here, I just fell asleep, I didn't hear it." ”

Yin Li teased her: "Sister Yu, you are really asleep, I have been here for a long time." As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled. Zhao Yu touched his head, and said with a smile: "I didn't sleep well, and I was listening to reading just now." It seems to say that you are arrogant or not, worried or not, and there are no big lizards, no uncles and the like. ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, Deng Sui leaned forward and backwards with laughter, Yin Li laughed and rubbed her belly with laughter, and even the two old nurses standing outside the door laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists, and tears and snot flowed out.

Zhao Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned red, he stood and rubbed his hands, and shouted: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Isn't it a big lizard, no uncle? ”

The more she spoke, the more everyone laughed endlessly, and Yin Li covered her stomach and smiled: "Sister Yu, you are really wrong and funny, you are not right at all." ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, his face turned red, Deng Sui saw it, he couldn't hold back his laughter, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, laugh again, my stomach will hurt for a day." Sister Yu, go and get us some food, it's not interesting to sit like this. ”

This time, Zhao Yu was taken away, so as not to embarrass her, and it also made everyone stop laughing. Yin Li said: "This Zhao Yu is really interesting, I'm afraid it's the funniest day I've ever had since I grew up." ”

Deng Sui said: "She has followed her grandparents since she was a child, her family is poor, where she has read any books, gags, and made everyone laugh." Li'er, I wrote a poem the day before yesterday, and I haven't come up with the next sentence yet, so let's take a closer look and see if you can help me. ”

"You show me." Yin Li sat on the couch, shook the round fan, and watched Deng Sui rummage through the books.

Deng Sui took the book slip and pointed to the verses on it, but Yin Li looked at it, but it was: "The cherry blossoms are flying, and the swallows are clutching." Roll back and rebuke, wait for the milk song. ”

Yin Li thought for a while and said, "I'll add two sentences." After that, he dipped his pen in ink, and continued: "The evening pavilion wandered back and forth, and whispered. The clouds are steaming, and the mountains and rivers are falling. ”

Deng Sui clapped his hands and applauded: "Good reception, such a beautiful scenery, rare in the world, Li'er is so picky." ”

Yin Li read the poem again, and she felt satisfied, coupled with Deng Sui's praise, she felt fluttering. "Sui'er, can we play with poetry?"

Deng Sui said: "The two of them are so boring in poetry, it is better to let Sister Yu and Lian'er also participate, if they don't match, they will be punished for eating and drinking." ”

Yin Li clapped her hands and said, "That's a good idea, Lian'er, Sister Yu is going to get food, you can also help, and bring some wine by the way." ”

As he was talking, Zhao Yu came in from outside with a food box, "No need, no need, I brought the wine." You know, what tricks you two are going to come up with, it's all vegetarian wine, and it doesn't matter how much you drink. ”

"Sister Yu, you are considerate, but you don't have an uncle or anything for a while." Lian'er teased her.

Zhao Yu put the food box down, pinched Lian'er's ear with one hand and said, "Say, say, be careful that I tear your mouth!" ”

Lian'er hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister Yu, I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore." After that, he smiled and patted Zhao Yu's hand.

Sui'er smiled: "Okay, okay, it's not serious." Come and put the food on the table, which of us will come first? ”

The four of them sat around a few cases, Zhao Yu had lost his ugliness before, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the poem again, so he was the first to shout: "I'll come first, isn't it okay?" ”

Yin Li said: "You haven't read the book, but there is an agreement, you have to press the rhyme, if you are wrong, you have to be punished, the number of words is not limited, and if you press it right, it will be right." ”

"Okay, I'll come!" Zhao Yu said busily, she rolled her eyes and thought for a while, and looked at a plate of black plums and a plate of apricots on the table. Because of the saying: "Plum sour entrance." ”

Sui'er glanced at Lian'er, "Lian'er, you are the next, and you are the next." ”

Lian'er thought for a while, "Apricots are also available." Yin Li said, "No, no, this is not a sentence, it doesn't count, take a drink." ”

Lian'er was helpless, poured herself a cup, and drank it all.

Yin Li said: "I'll start, azure glass." After that, he looked at Deng Sui.

Deng Sui praised: "Good sentence, Li'er's name is also written into the sentence." Well, flowing water floating jade goose. ”

After that, he looked at Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu saw that it was his turn, and there was no word to continue, so he had to pour the wine, drank it in one gulp, and suddenly had a word, "The fish in the water are happy." Seeing that he had eaten wine again, he patted his thigh and said, "Alas, really, how can you come out and drink wine first." ”

Several people were amused by her again, and Yin Li said to Lian'er: "Come on, what are you happy about?" ”

Lian'er's face flushed, and she couldn't match it for a while, and when she was about to cry, Zhao Yu answered again: "Ass straight hiccup." ”

Deng Sui just ate a plum entrance, almost stuck, his face was red, he stroked his chest and coughed, Yin Li laughed so early that he couldn't get up. Lian'er hugged Zhao Yu and fell together, and the room was full of uproar for a while.

After a long time, Deng Sui stopped laughing and said: "Don't play, don't play, Sister Yu, are you suitable to tease us, I can't stand you." ”

Yin Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pointed at Zhao Yu and said, "Sister Yu, today is my happiest day, you are really a baby." ”

Zhao Yu said: "Since you don't play, Zhao Yu will have fun with you, I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, so let's stretch my muscles!" ”

After that, he stood up and said, "The scenery outside is just right, the weather is cool, let's go to the courtyard!" ”

A few people went out of the house, and as soon as they heard about the martial arts practice, a group of nurses, servants, and maidservants all gathered in the courtyard to watch. Yingying Yanyan, pointing and pointing, all want to see what it is like for women to practice martial arts.

Zhao Yu lifted her skirt to her waist and tucked it up, standing lightly in the courtyard, stretching her long arms, but she suddenly became short, turned around twice, jumped east and west, and hit in the air, with amazing momentum. It seems that all the air currents are driven by her, her body is light and agile, and every time she shows her wonderful posture just right.

Deng Sui also watched her practice martial arts for the first time, and in her mind, she didn't know how many moves she had passed, and she didn't seem to have much strength, but her moves were fatal. Seeing that my heart was shaking, I was stunned and even forgot to shout and cheer.

But when he heard the thunderous laughter in the crowd, he couldn't help but jump up his little feet and applaud excitedly.

Zhao Yu was ugly just now, but he got his face back, and he was unconsciously happy, he took his body, his face was red and his cheeks were hot, and his pretty face was full of smiles
