Chapter 336: Playing the cards, let go, my lord
"Sister-in-law, can you see through this card? If we continue to lose like this, my sister's purse and I should be deflated. The four girls stared, distressed about the lost monthly money, dragged Mrs. Guan into the water, and complained with a bitter face.
In the afternoon, when she saw that the sun was still good, she rejoiced and drew people out to visit the garden. After that, he ordered people to hang a thick curtain in the pavilion to protect him from the wind and snow, and added a brazier. I thought she was already a good player at pushing flower cards, but who knew that when she met the princess who was bookish, she would lose so miserably.
"Sister, you can also speak." The fourth girl took her elbow and crutched Mrs. Guan, and winked at her. She also counted on saving a lot of private money during the New Year, and got together with a few young ladies from the family to open a calligraphy and painting shop.
It's not that the monthly routine is not enough to spend, but other girls are interested, if she doesn't mix, it will inevitably seem unsociable, and how to be affectionate in the future.
Mrs. Guan looked at her with a smile, opened her mouth and picked up the berries handed by the maid in front of her, chewed them slowly, and asked her teasingly, "Who is it that you keep saying that you are never allowed to look down on people, and you are all those tricks of deception and deliberate courtesy?" ”
Mrs. Guan's voice fell, and the seventh girl had already pursed her lips and laughed lowly. The four girls opened their mouths for a long time, and they were dumbfounded. With a red face, she looked at Chunying behind the seventh girl with disgust, pretended to be arrogant, and said angrily, "You maid, your concubine is so good, why don't you squeak in advance?" Didn't you say that you took the female official exam in the palace, could it be that the female officials in the palace are all so discouraged? ”
This is good, the four girls' quirky words provoked Chunying to cover her mouth and squint with a smile.
The pavilion was bustling, and I didn't want that person to finish the political affairs early and go to the inner courtyard. He opened the curtain and entered, bowed his head to the crowd, waved his hand to prevent them from getting up to salute, and walked behind her.
Dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, he left the chair under the stone steps, leaned over slightly, and propped one hand on the armrest of her circle chair. Feng glanced at the flower card she held in her hand, and quickly browsed the seven, seven, eight, eight.
The bridge of his nose was straight, just a finger away from her. She could even feel the heat on her face as he breathed. The seventh girl blushed, peeking at Mrs. Guan and the four girls opposite, and sure enough, she saw that Mrs. Guan staggered her eyes, but the four girls had big round eyes, hiding behind fan-like flower cards, and were extremely excited, peeking at the two of them.
Her face was hot, and she hurriedly asked Chunying to show him a seat. This person is also in full view, and he doesn't know how to avoid taboos.
As soon as he sat down, Brother Yi'er, who was still tired of her side, trotted over happily, got his acquiescence, used his hands and feet, and climbed on his lap.
"Uncle, my aunt is so powerful, she beat my little aunt and begged for mercy." I don't know where I heard the joke, such a childish remark, even if he heard it, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.
Brother Yi saw that his face was kind, and he was even more encouraged, and continued to dismantle the stage of the four girls. "Mr. taught, there is no regret in the fall, and you need to be honest. But the little aunt lost the money and wanted to rely on it not to give the money. ”
The seventh girl couldn't help it now, seeing the four girls' pretty faces, they were excited by Brother Yi'er's too straightforward words, and they turned blue and white for a while. She choked with laughter, and was about to call Chunying to serve tea, but when she saw that he was calm and steady, she took the hot tea that Zhong Qing had just served in her hand and had not yet touched, and just brought it to her nose.
His behavior is enough to see that he treats her intimately. The seventh girl coughed badly, and if she didn't answer it, she had a taste of wanting to cover it up. So he held it with both hands, buried his head, and took small sips of tea, slightly hot behind his ears.
When she took the teacup, she accidentally touched his hand. His fingertips were warm, like the hot tea in her mouth, and in the middle of winter, it smoked her whole body, and it also warmed up.
He paused for a look on her little face surrounded by a raw-edged neckline. When she is shy, she gestures in every way, how can he not be familiar? Noticing her pink pinna, his expression softened.
In an instant, he looked back, and his eyes were soft and soft. "Lost the debt? Shame on you? Raised his eyebrows slightly, but it was Gu Zhen who looked at him.
The fourth girl's heart skipped a beat, and a moment ago she was still envious of his pleasant face towards the princess. Who would have thought that her brother, even Brother Yi'er, a half-grown child, didn't let go.
The fourth girl hurriedly straightened her countenance, and in front of his long-term prestige, where did she dare to say a word "no".
"No, no. Isn't this round over? Just laughing and shouting. With this person staring at her cards, the four girls became even more nervous.
felt uncomfortable, and the four girls were not the only ones affected. The seven girls were also absent-minded and pretended to be calm.
He was so close to her, and he was still holding Brother Yi'er, and when she finished using tea, he grabbed her little hand hanging by his side, held it in his wide palm, carried the person on his back, and rubbed it gently.
She was rubbed by his blue sky, rubbed her head, pretended to be engrossed in looking at the cards, and her neck was red with shame. Fortunately, I am wearing a small stand-up collar today, and I am wrapped around a thick neck, so others can't see anything unusual. In addition, there is a table in front of him, this person's robe is wide, Chun Ying stands behind the two of them, he sees it, and it is not the first time that he has broken through his intimacy with her.
The seventh girl comforted herself on the one hand, and felt that she was taken by him, and her face became thicker and thicker. Mrs. and Cui's mother taught her that the girl's family needs to be reserved and dignified. But at this time, he was secretly with her and did that ambiguous thing, and she was silent, as he wished.
She scratched his palm with her little hand, and took advantage of Mrs. Guan and the four girls to play cards, and glanced at him: It's time to play the cards, and you can let go of it if you have touched enough!
He smiled in his eyes, ignored her, leaned over and whispered a few words to Brother Yi in front of him. I saw that the little guy's eyes lit up, and the little face was full of longing, and asked her if she would agree with a soft voice.
"Uncle, Brother Yi plays the cards for my aunt. Brother Yi listened to his aunt, and his aunt quietly told Brother Yi which one it was. ”
The little guy was about to move, she was still stunned and didn't come back to her senses, Brother Yi was already holding her fleshy little hand and was standing by solemnly.
This man! The seventh girl scratched him with her nails, and this man was a good idea. She was shaken by him, where could she have her hands free to play her cards? So he coaxed Brother Yi, who didn't know anything.
Others only think that he coaxes Brother Yi to play, who would have thought that he has ulterior motives.
She sighed in her heart that he was cunning. But the right hand he held was reluctant to let go. So she found another thing: after getting along with him for a long time, the bad things she learned from him were obvious that she was not ashamed, and now she has learned to even say something wrong.
With him in charge, the four girls made frequent mistakes and omissions, and they lost faster than the previous round. Brother Yi felt that he had merit and was able to defeat his aunt, and he was very proud.
As the eldest sister, Mrs. Guan only watched from the sidelines, laughing and not saying a word. The seventh girl felt that with a brother like him, the fourth girl was really pitiful. Then he kindly said, "The fourth sister here is young, how can I really win your monthly money." It's just a joke, and it's just a bit of a fun. The implication is that after a while, I will return a lot of the money to her.
The four girls were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were about to pretend to refuse, so they accepted the kindness of the princess. This set is also a common method. The girl's family, especially the noble girl of the family, which is not good for face.
But just as she was squirming, the man spoke out and caught her off guard.
"If she is willing, you will accept it. Don't let her misunderstand you as she is stingy and reluctant to pay money. But he said this to the Seventh Maiden. Master Gu glanced at his sister and took the tea leisurely. Brother Yi understood, and concentrated on the purse that the seventh girl had put in his hand, but he stuffed the broken silver he had won.
Until the maid in the wife's house came to urge, and invited everyone back to the house to eat. After the scene was over, the four girls listlessly took Mrs. Guan's arm and walked forward. Occasionally looking back at the eyes of the seven girls, it is very pitiful.
"How are you competing with your fourth sister?" She pushed him, a few steps behind, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
He sat in a pushchair, and because he was already slender, the top of his head was higher than her chin. When she saw him stretching his sleeves, he was taking care of his clothes at will, and he also had a graceful and elegant appearance. Unlike her, she is often so-so, not more meticulous than him.
"In a few months, it will be the New Year's Day. When you first enter the door, if you want, you can add more money to her at that time. ”
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this person was teaching her to be human. He sang blackface by himself, and left the good errand of singing redface to her.
The seventh girl's heart was sweet, but she muttered, "My lord, you are really cunning. ”
On the corridor to the East Garden, the figures of the two walking forward were illuminated by the fiery red wind lamp under the corridor. She leaned over, poked her head out, and whispered intimately in his ear. She and him, standing and sitting, should have been one tall and one short. But because he listened attentively, he tilted his head slightly, and she bent down and muttered. The figures are intertwined in one place, and in the evening when the dry wind is blowing in winter, it shows a bit of natural warmth and beauty, and it is happy.
