Chapter 31: Heart-to-Heart Talk in the Middle of the Night

But now Ah Ci's relationship with them seems to have faded, and Shen Jin's figure is almost invisible all day long, and Ah Ci also stays in Nanyuan and rarely goes out.

"I heard people say that there have been many days of heavy snowfall this year, and there have been many snow disasters in remote areas, which have frozen to death many poultry and livestock, not to mention people, starving to death, frostbite from frostbite." Qingyin didn't blindly discuss the snow here, and remembered the rumors he heard a few days ago, and said it, a little sad.

To tell the truth, apart from those literati and emperors, who else here cares about whether the disaster is serious, whether the people can eat enough, and whether they will freeze. In other words, when the princess of the official eunuch heard this, she probably listened to it as a story and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now Qingyin is here sadly lamenting that the snow disaster froze to death, but Hong Sakura and Ah Ci didn't react, and the rest of the little girls stared at her with contemptuous eyes, extremely disdainful in their hearts: Heh, what kind of savior do you think it is, what's the use of mercy here for life? Let's get rid of the slavery first, it's really beyond my strength! I thought I was so noble.

In fact, the maids and servants of the Shen Mansion are not bad in their hearts, they are not the kind of people who are vicious and secretly plot to kill others. Qingyin is lonely and self-proclaimed, and her eyes are dustless, unlike Hongying's exquisite mind and Ah Ci's simple kindness, most of the maids in Nanyuan can't get used to her. Red Sakura is delicate, and she is generous and decent in dealing with people, and most of the people's evaluations of her are mostly praise, and there are few who hate her. Ah Ci and Shen Nanyan have been at the border for so many years, and they are considered to be celebrities in front of the young lady, and everyone dare not offend.

Only Qingyin, although the name was given by the young lady herself, she is not a big girl like Hongying Azi, but her identity is a little higher than that of other maids who serve tea and pour water. In such a position that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, coupled with her self-righteousness, she always likes to be compassionate and compassionate, and thinks she is superior, and the people below are more and more unaccustomed to her, and they will snub her if they can snub her, and good things will not call her.

Qingyin is a strong character, she was treated like this by everyone, although she was angry and wronged, she couldn't do anything, she disdained to find Shen Nanyan to complain, and after Hong Ying knew about it, she also found her a few times and asked her to pay a little attention to her words and demeanor, so as not to make herself look so different and out of place with others.

Obviously she didn't do anything wrong, why should she change, she asked nonchalantly: "If I earn a sum of money one day, and everyone doesn't like my wealth out of thin air, shouldn't I throw away the money just to be a maid with only two taels of silver a month like them, just to fit in?" ”

Such a sophistry is really like what Qingyin said, which provoked Hong Sakura to shake her head for a while, and it seems that there is a lot of truth in thinking about it.

After the red cherry tree went back, she warned the mother-in-law and maids who were stirring up trouble, but the people's hearts wanted, and they couldn't be warned many times after a warning, and after a few times, everyone was still like this, even worse than before. Because everyone didn't actually hurt Qingyin, they just selectively isolated her, and it was not good for Hongying to tell Shen Nanyan and ask her to punish those people.

Punish innocent minions at will, if it is spread by someone with a heart, her young lady's reputation will be completely ruined, although Hong Sakura wants to help Qingyin, but compared to Miss's reputation, don't say that it is light, that is, she can sacrifice anytime and anywhere.

Not to mention Ah Ci, she was too well protected by Shen Nanyan and Shen Jin, where did she notice these things that were fighting openly and secretly, she naturally didn't know about the light yin, and if she knew, she could still nag a few words in Shen Nanyan's ear.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Nanyan's fingertips stopped on the writing, as if he was thinking.

Hong Sakura, who had been paying attention to Shen Nanyan's movements, walked up to her and asked softly, "Miss, is it a little louder and disturbing your reading?" ”

"Nope." Shen Nanyan couldn't help but rub it, looked at the maid who was talking, and paused: "Qingyin, in the future, you and Hongying will come to the house on an errand together." ”

The news came unexpectedly, and he froze in place, his eyes full of disbelief, and he couldn't believe it was true. After going around for so many years, although she showed her face in front of Miss and had to be named by Miss herself, she was basically waiting outside the house, unless Hong Ying Ah Ci was not there, it was her turn, what she didn't expect was that Shen Nanyan actually called her name and asked her to come to the house to serve.

Ah Ci, who was standing next to Qingyin, pulled her sleeve and teased: "Could it be that you are so happy?" Don't go to Shane yet. ”

Red Sakura also looked at Qingyin with a smile, and was really happy for her. Qingyin is the good-looking one among them, and serving outside the house like this really buries her.

"Miss Xie." With a light smile, he walked up to Shen Nanyan and knelt down to thank him, and the happiness in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Alright, let's get up." Shen Nanyan stretched out his hand to help her and explained: "I have heard my brother talk about you since I was a child, saying that you are thorough, clever and clever, and you are an excellent girl. Now it seems that this is the case. ”

Qingyin looked at Shen Nanyan's movements flatteredly, "Thank you Miss for the compliment." ”

Not only light yin, but even Hong Sakura's face also showed a rare look of surprise, Who is Shen Nanyan? The first beauty in Beijing, to be precise, should be the first cold beauty in Beijing, cold and arrogant, unless she treats Shen's father and Shen mother a little closer, she is almost not close to others, and even treats Hongying is basically soft-spoken, and it is impossible to reach out and help her personally.

In fact, the reason why Shen Nanyan did this action was very simple, but it was because she remembered that Mu Zhao had also talked about the life of the people after the snow disaster in the letter she sent her.

It is better to wear one less fancy dress and drink one less pot of wine, but also to let the people who have been affected by natural disasters be able to live an ordinary life.

He has always been like this, treating others, even if they are lonely, old and weak, he has always been kind and unconditionally helpful to them.

Qingyin had a sympathetic attitude towards those who were affected by natural disasters, and when she heard that sentence, she couldn't help but shake her heart, and then stretched out her hand towards Qingyin, but she couldn't help but do that because she was happy when she thought of Mu Zhao.

Ah Ci didn't show a surprised look like Hong Ying, because she didn't pay attention to what Shen Nanyan did later, and when Shen Nanyan said the words that Shen Jin had praised Qingyin, she was a little unable to stand.

He actually praised Yin for being thoughtful, clever, and a wonderful girl!

It's true, the light yin is better looking than her, and the body is weaker than her, not as strong as she has been since she was a child, and I'm afraid it's difficult for him to breed a desire to protect when I'm with her.

The soles of her feet suddenly softened, and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground, if it wasn't for the little maid next to her who helped her in time, I am afraid she would have fallen to the ground.

"Sister Azi, are you okay?" The little maid's voice rang in her ears.

The maid's voice was not loud, but it came into Shen Nanyan's ears, and through the layers of people, Shen Nanyan came towards her and asked with concern: "What's the matter, come forward." ”

Ah Ci didn't step forward, but replied, "I'm fine, miss." After saying this, infinite sorrow and pain arose in my heart.

He has been coming to him these days, and she is not a ruthless person, not without hesitation. But every time she was about to take that step, the voice in her heart was telling her, you are just the daughter of a domestic servant, don't block the good future of others.

After her father and mother knew about this, they looked at her without saying a word for a long time, although they did not stop her from continuing to be with Shen Jin, but they also clearly told her that people should not forget their roots, the old lady treats them well, even the young lady treats her as a sister, don't disturb the century-old reputation and future of the Shen family for her own happiness.

Shen Jin came to her and always assured her that he would definitely marry her and make her feel at ease.

When he was in a hurry, he asked her with a red face, "What are you afraid of?" What to worry about? What to hesitate about? Afraid I don't love you enough? Are you still worried that my parents won't like you in the future? Still hesitant...... You probably didn't fall in love with me? ”

What did she hesitate for? hesitated because he misunderstood his future, worried that the century-old reputation of the Shen Mansion would be ruined by himself, and he was afraid that the person he liked would not be her.

It's okay to say that she is hypocritical or ruthless, but she is really afraid, in this big beam that values the family, she is afraid that if she insists on being with him, she will hurt him.

Why doesn't he understand? Why just don't you understand? Why question her feelings for him there.

Every unhappy parting is because he suspects that he has never liked him, and being with him is just to see him pitiful.

She explained to him that he believed it, and the next time he came to see her, he didn't believe it again.

For the first time, she felt sad and powerless, obviously she hadn't been with her young master for long, and she hadn't enjoyed this happiness yet, why did she suddenly feel powerless, she wanted to sleep forever, and she didn't want to endure this pain.

Seeing that Ah Ci did not come forward, Shen Nanyan lifted the blanket and got off the couch, put on his shoes and walked through the crowd to Ah Ci's side.

"What about telling you to come forward? Why are you standing here stupidly? Shen Nanyan pulled up Ah Zi and asked with a smile.

"Miss, you...... How did you stay? Shen Nanyan's arrival disrupted her thoughts, and she spoke in a daze.

"Of course, Miss saw that Miss Ah Ci almost fell down and came to see you, Miss Ah Ci is afraid that she is scared stupid?" An old woman smiled and spoke.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ah Ci turned his head and looked at Shen Nanyan: "Miss......"

Shen Nanyan smiled and pulled her to the couch: "Is it because I haven't been with you for a long time?" I just told you to come over, but you actually stood still. ”

"Miss, I'm ......" Ah Zi slurred, snorting and mouthing, but he didn't know what to say.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Shen Nanyan looked at Ah Ci and said with a serious face.

"Ah Ci knows it's wrong." Ah Ci sincerely admitted his mistake.

"Then I'll punish you for sleeping with me tonight." Shen Nanyan said softly.
