- Chen Jiu looked at Lin Shan beside him, and saw that he was looking out of the door somewhere, and his eyes still fell on the path that Yan Xingzhi ran away, silent as if he was thinking about something.

She looked at him thinking, and she almost couldn't help but ask him if she was thinking about the Jian Yì that the young master of the Yan family seemed to reveal with all his strength when he left.

But she moved her lips and hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped the thought.

Because she cherished the man in front of her, including every moment of standing side by side with him, sitting opposite him, looking at each other, and talking together, she set up several rules of self-discipline for herself very early, among which one of the most frequently used was not to interrupt the man's silent thinking.

Lin Shan quickly detached his spirit from that short-term thought, after all, Yan Xingzhi's words only touched him slightly, and it didn't make much of a wave in his heart.

Seeing Chen Jiu's seemingly waiting gaze, he just said gently, "Do you want to send them off?"

Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "I won't go, I said those disrespectful words to Uncle Liao just now, he should be able to tease me."

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Lin Shan's mouth, and he said slowly: "I have seen many doctors, and there are very few people like him who have been persevering for one thing for several years, so he is actually a person who is extremely difficult to annoy."

Chen Jiu suddenly asked curiously: "You don't bother such a persevering person, even if he has shortcomings that are several times more hateful than the precious character of perseverance, right?"

"Yes......" Lin Shan replied with one word, and he seemed to realize that Chen Jiu's question might contain the storage of two people. One is Liao Shi, and the other is herself.

There was no more thoughtful look on his face, but there was silence.

Chen Jiu sighed softly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the letter with fire paint on the tea case, and then remembered the location next to the letter, and put aside Liao Shi's medicine box, which was shabby on the outside but extremely rich and neat inside.

"Actually, you should send him off." After a moment's hesitation, she spoke again. It's something else that has already been said, "The Medicine Master never leaves his chest, he's prompting you to send him." ”

"No, he's prompting Yan Xingzhi." Lin Shan said with an indifferent smile, "If he takes the medicine box first, the young master of the Yan family is afraid that he will go crazy and look for him." In a hurry, it is inevitable that something will be missed, such as losing your family letters, losing your 50-year-old wine puree. ”

Chen Jiu smiled: "You mean that the pharmacist is waiting for his little attendant medicine boy to sweep the field for him?"

Lin Shan said with a smile: "This is a skill in employing people. He still would. ”

The old wine gradually faded and the smile on his face. Said calmly: "Then you really don't plan to send him?"

"No, no." Lin Shan sat down beside the tea table.

"You don't go......" Chen Jiu sat down on the chair on the other side of the tea table without the slightest hesitation. …… Then I won't go. ”

Lin Shan glanced at Chen Jiu deeply and did not speak.

There was no sound in the dining room for a long time.

Even the command to summon the maid to clean up the scraps of the table did not come out.

After another hour of this, several maidservants who had been lined up outside the house because they were not allowed to disturb finally approached and asked the guards at the door. Only then did I know that the dining room was already empty.

A servant girl couldn't help but say: "Sir, it's so strange today, I had a meal with Yao Lao, but he lined us up so far away, and he didn't order us to put away the bowl when he left, so we waited for a long time."

The guard at the door heard this, his voice was slightly cold, and he only said: "Please don't regard Lord Lin's humility and gentleness as a presumptuous space, and not any woman can walk so close to Lord Lin like Miss Chen." Performing our own duties should be your duty and I to do at all times, if you feel that you can't get over it here, I can help you ask Lord Lin for instructions on your behalf. I'm sure he won't be reluctant to send someone to take you back to Beijing. ”

The talkative servant girl couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

A few maidservants entered the house to clean up the scraps, and the maidservant who had been orally lectured by Lin Shan's henchman guard at the door just now suddenly couldn't help but say again: "What! I'm not just gossiping, what kind of fierce is that guard. ”

A tall servant girl beside her dissuaded: "You better say less!" You are not familiar with that guard, how can you gossip about the affairs of your master's house in front of him? Let alone...... The little brother at the door just now was right. Don't think that you are a weak woman, and you can be presumptuous with this. Of course, a gentleman will not embarrass a woman for some trivial things, but do you know what the result will be if you are disgusted by him? That is, Miss Chen's appearance, talent, and character, can be a caring person for Mr., and occasionally frolicking can be unscrupulous. ”

"Che, that's your private opinion, but in my opinion, it's not. Look at the tea cup that was almost glued to Lin Shansheng's hand, don't you see? Although the Chen family's wine is mellow and attracts an endless stream of drunken buyers, Mr. Lin has directly quit drinking, what does this mean?" The handmaid who was talking at the door just now said to the tall handmaid with great disapproval, "After all, it's still disgusting...... Miss Chen was originally a celebrity in Dongfeng Building, and she stayed in that building for a long time before Dongfeng Building changed the rules of the door plaque...... Is she still a girl......"

Except for herself, who said this, all the maidservants who were cleaning up the scraps at the table stopped moving.

When the talkative handmaid saw this scene, she realized that an extremely strong oppressive force came from the gaze of several handmaidens around her and smashed it on her face.

A servant girl in the left corner of the table suddenly said with a penal voice: "Pray that you don't marry the wrong man in the future!" Because a person like you can no longer be able to get up and cheer up after a single setback. It's a setback like this, maybe every woman can't avoid it without entering the building, it seems that you are very dangerous! ”

The tall servant girl also spoke, and said in a cold voice: "Why do you need to wait for that kind of test, a servant girl like you who likes to talk long and short, I'm afraid that I just need to send you back to the old General Mu Mansion in Kyoto, and a word of loss can kill you."

A servant girl in the right corner of the table also said with a cold face: "It's really a shame that you are still a servant girl who has been cultivated in General Mu's mansion." General Mu's wife is the aunt of Emperor Ling of the former dynasty, and the old general also has a daughter-in-law who is also a member of the royal family of the former dynasty, and the backyard of this family can be described as the most complex and dangerous household among the nobles of Kyoto. Because of the subversion of the noble status of the mother's family, the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the backyard of the Mu Mansion is even more distorted, you haven't tasted lasagna, chili oil, and skewered tofu in it, and you should have watched others enjoy it, how can you forget what the scourge of the tongue can do?"

Lasagna refers to a belt made of leather on the inside and brocade cloth on the outside dipped in water. Then it is whipped on the person. This kind of torture instrument can be carried around, and it is not too conspicuous like a mace, but the servants and maids who have been served by this torture instrument will inevitably leave scars on their bodies that will not be erased for many years.

Chili oil is relatively simple, it is a red soup made by soaking chili peppers and peppercorns in boiling oil, but when using this kind of thing to punish the servants, it is generally made to make the servants lie on their backs or swallow them upside down. The slightest mistake in the swallowing angle may lead to a mute for the person being punished. Even if they escaped the catastrophe of becoming dumb, the servants who swallowed this chili oil had diarrhea for at least seven days. The tongue will be numb and tasteless for at least a month. I can't swallow half a cent of hot food. To eat half a month of raw food waiting for the injured mouth to recover.

This trick was learned by two princesses of different generations from the Criminal Department, but it has to be said that their intention to improve it is very ingenious. Although these two condiments are somewhat expensive, they are popular on Kyoto tables. The reserves are sufficient, and they can be used as much as they want, and they can afford to spend as much as they want. It's just that the servants and maids are suffering, and the ingenious wisdom of the two princesses can only make people fearful.

The first two punishments are widely used in the punishment of theft and long tongue by servants and maids in the back house of Mu Mansion, respectively, as for whether the punished person really stole the master's valuables, or criticized the master with many mouths, he may still have done nothing, just blocked the intersection of the two princesses walking around the garden. was dragged away and punished, and no one knew.

As for the punishment of skewering tofu, it is a bit ingenious, and it also shows the distorted wisdom of the two hostesses.

There is no tofu that can be picked up with a thin needle, and the two hostesses of the Mu Mansion who have the status of princesses of the previous dynasty are asking the servants and maids to string the tofu with needles. Not only did he ask the servant to pinch the sharp long needle to the tofu string hole in the servant maid B's hand, but he was also worried that they would not be able to prick each other's fingers because they had experience, so he ordered them to be able to fluently answer the family rules and regulations of the Mu Mansion that the two princesses were studying at any time while stringing the tofu.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess of the previous dynasty got together to become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the identity of the royal family was lost, so they devoted themselves to the struggle for the status of the house.

This is the hell in the hearts of many palace slaves who were assigned to Mu Mansion! Even if one day they were extremely lucky enough to have a reason to leave there, and how many midnight dreams they had, they still couldn't escape the terrible torture they had suffered in the back house of the Mu Mansion.

At this time, the maid who was talking a lot at the door of the dining room of Lin Shan's residence, and when she entered the hall to clean up the leftovers and dishes, she was open-mouthed, and she came out of the Mu Mansion.

So the other handmaidens who cleaned up the table with her, in addition to writing that they were not used to the pampering and arrogant words of this person at the door just now, and listening to this person's criticism of the old wine in the hall, really angered the maids, and the handmaidens were really a little curious, this long-tongued girl really came out of the Mu Mansion?

And after being verbally beaten by all the maids around her, the long-tongued maid seemed to really remember the terrible back house of the Mu Mansion. Of course, she didn't want to be sent back there, her spiritual world was filled with fear at an extremely fast speed, and she didn't have time to think about all the good things in Lin Shan's residence, and all that was left in her mind was the horror of the Mu Mansion that was thousands of miles away.

Her hands trembled, and her shoulders trembled. After a while, she suddenly said hoarsely, "I don't want to go back...... But where do we end up? It is obviously impossible for Mr. Lin to stay in Northland forever......"

The tall maid on the side smiled warmly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "It's where you're going to end up, not us." The old pharmacist is gone, and you are not the only one who can see it, and Mr. Lin will not stay here for long. ”

Halfway through her words, she glanced around at a few maidservants in the hall, and said again with a slightly slower face: "So we have discussed it, so we will stay in the Chen family's small winery, and we will go wherever the eldest sister goes." We sincerely admire the ability of the wine sister and are willing to follow her to be a wine lady. Who said that a woman can only entangle a woman in her life, if you can't find a good match, we would rather live a good life than marry a bad man, and there is no good result in suffering and suffering, that is to be ruined for a lifetime. ”

Several handmaidens standing at the table, who were obviously in line with the tall handmaiden, nodded their heads again and again.

The tall maid suddenly smiled leisurely again, and added: "However, with Sister Jiu's wide connections in Kyoto, as long as you follow her." It doesn't seem to be too worrying about finding a lover. When the time comes, watching me pour a pot of Chen family's old wine, won't it lock a man's heart more than those brocade embroideries?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Sister Jiu said a long time ago that if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first lock a man's stomach, and I will recite this sentence several times a day."

"Sister Jiu has been trying to make fruit wine these days, I have tasted it, maybe in the future, not only can I lock the hearts of men with wine, but even my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will pick it up together!"

All the maidservants in the hall laughed unconsciously, and the trace of melancholy that was still lingering between their brows just now was suddenly melted away...... And some of them seemed to be all glued together into the eyes of the mouthy maid who had just been speculating on the old wine.

In the midst of the joyful discussion of the maidservants. There was a certain color in the eyes of the mouthy servant girl that was sinking little by little. She didn't want to appreciate other people's happiness. I can't have it. So she looked elsewhere.

At this time, no one noticed that the dark color in the maid's eyes was getting deeper and deeper, and gradually a little aura.

But just then, a man suddenly walked in from outside the door. Her gaze met the squeal anger in her eyes. The handmaid with a forest of eyes was stunned, and the speed of cleaning up her floating scheming was a little slower. The guard who came suddenly had been with Lin Shan for a while, and his eyesight was not low, and he could see at a glance that this woman seemed to have evil intentions, and she was also slightly stunned.

However, when he withdrew his eyes to look at the other maidservants in the hall, he thought that he understood that the gloomy look he had just witnessed might just be due to the jealousy between the women over something, so he didn't take this little matter to heart.

Among the handmaidens in the hall who were laughing. One of the servants, a little ahead of the crowd, noticed the guard who suddenly ran in, obviously familiar with each other, and she immediately shouted, "Brother Shanliang!"

"Sister Mian'er......" In front of everyone's eyes, the guard named Shan Liang suddenly felt a little embarrassed to shout out this title that he was already familiar with.

In fact, those handmaidens who all paid attention to it, because they were still discussing how to lock a man's heart just now. So at this time, when they heard the slightly intimate names of the two people in front of them, they unconsciously had a little more subtlety in their eyes.

With a slightly embarrassed smile, Lin Shan's close congratulatory Shanliang got down to business, and said with a smile: "Do you know where Lord Lin went?"

Immediately, a servant girl said, "Have you gone to send the old pharmacist?"

Soon another maidservant disagreed: "It seems that she did not leave the dining room through the front door, but may have gone to the study."

Shan Liang shook his head and said, "No, I came from the study, and the door is still locked." And if Lord Lin wants to send the old pharmacist, he won't not bring an attendant. ”

At this time, the maid Mian'er, who was familiar with Shanliang, thought about it and said, "Sister Jiu is not here, maybe Mr. Lin went to the wine shop with her."

When Shan Liang heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Lin can't get involved in alcohol now......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly closed his mouth, looking nervous. Maybe it was because the young women he was facing had known each other for a long time, so he was negligent for a moment and missed half a sentence.

It was only a few close servants like him who were informed of this in order to facilitate the service. But of course, Shan Liang also remembered Lin Shan's repeated emphasis that this matter must be kept secret, otherwise this weakness will be taken away by someone with a heart, but it will cause great harm.

The attendant standing outside the door suddenly walked in and slapped Shan Liang.

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Shan Liang's left mouth, and the maidservant Mian'er next to her screamed in shock when she saw this scene.

Shan Liang didn't speak, nor did he express his anger at the guard outside the door who slapped him, he just suddenly raised his right hand, not to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, nor to return the slap to the guard who slapped him, but to backhand his right cheek.

The guard who had just walked in from outside the door and slapped people with his slap only then said in a hard voice, "What's the matter?" Go outside and say, what is there to say here! ”

The two guards immediately walked out together, as if they didn't remember the two slaps just now.

The servants at the table stopped talking, and their men moved again, and they cleaned up the table faster.

When the ladies were about to leave the dining room with the trays, the tall maid suddenly said in a deep voice: "Today we are just cleaning up the plates in the dining room, nothing else happened, do you remember?"

All the maids nodded when they heard this, and there was no longer a trace of relief on their faces.

The more things you have in your heart, the more you can't easily take it personally, and the secrets you learn inadvertently may not all be beneficial gains. The maidservants inadvertently learned the truth that Lin Shan can't drink alcohol today, although it is enough to overturn the gloomy argument of the mouthy maid just now, and prove that Lin Shan doesn't drink the wine made from old wine, and he doesn't dislike her, but who dares to say this?

This secret is like a double-edged sword, hanging over the heads of the servants from today, and I am afraid that only when they no longer wait for Lin Shan, and go thousands of miles away to cut off the connection, will the threat of this sword melt away from time to forget-
