Volume I: Chapter 38 Excess

"Yes, how good, it's clearly the complexion of excessive thoughts!" Yu Yin followed up on his own words and said as if panting.

When Shu Yan heard this, he immediately lowered his head and was silent.

After Zhong Daxuan closed the cabinet door according to Yu Yin's instructions, and then sat on the round stool next to Yu Yin, Shu Yan, who was silent for a while, reopened his mouth and said: "Zhong Gongzi, don't say that I don't have time to drink tea here today, even if I am free today, you don't have tea here for me to drink." ”

"Steward Shu, this room is so big, if you have time to wait for me, I will work hard to find it, and I will definitely find the embarrassing tea." You don't have anything to say, we don't have any tea for you to drink! Zhong Daxuan said to Shu Yan inexplicably.

"Brother Da Xu, why don't you understand! The reason why Sister Yan'er said that there was no tea for her to drink in this Fish Tears Pavilion must be because she forgot to ask those maid sisters to place tea here last night! Besides, this Fish Tears Pavilion has been uninhabited for fifteen years, even if you work hard to turn out the tea leaves from fifteen years ago, it must have been moldy and undrinkable! Yu Yin on the side explained to Zhong Daxuan.

"Young master, what you said is not entirely true. I really forgot to tell them to place tea leaves here last night, but even if Zhong Gongzi turned this fish tears inside and out, he wouldn't find the old tea from fifteen years ago. Because of the fish tears fifteen years ago, there was no tea at all. Shu Yan poked the answer.

"Why? Sister Yan'er, fifteen years ago, why was there no tea here? Could it be that Uncle Mo doesn't like tea? Yu Yin guessed and asked Shu Yandao.

"Yes, young master, don't look at the two of them were born in the same year, month and day, but his preferences are completely different from the second master, the second master loves tea, but he has never liked to drink tea." Shu Yan responded to Yu Yin truthfully.

"Sister Yan'er, do you mean to say that Second Uncle Wei and Third Uncle Mo were born in the same year, month, and day? Yu Yin asked Shu Yandao in surprise.

"Yes, young master, the two cousins came to this world on their front and back feet, and Wen was just a moment earlier than Wu. Then again, young master, do you like to drink tea? Shu Yan deliberately asked Yu Yindao.

"I like it! What an elegant thing to taste tea! Of course I liked it; What's more, my hobbies are so wide-ranging, like tea tasting, wine tasting, I like them all. It's just that I can't taste the tea, no matter how I taste it; As for wine tasting, I tasted a lot of flavors in one taste. Yu Yin said to Shu Yan poorly.

"Why? Young master, it's obviously a glass of wine, a kind of wine, why do you taste so many flavors? Shu Yan asked Yu Yin puzzled.

"Because of the bitterness, bitterness, spiciness, and saltiness, the five flavors are mixed! Sister Yan'er. Yu Yin said, and couldn't help but subconsciously grit her teeth.

"Then why is there no sweetness, no sweetness? Master. Shu Yan asked Yu Yindao.

"Because if the heart is sweet, who will drink?" Yu Yin replied thoughtfully.

Yu Yin wanted to continue to ask Shu Yan something, but was stopped by Zhong Daxuan on the side in time, only to hear Zhong Daxuan stop Yu Yin and say: "Oh, Yu Yin, you don't have to ask questions to delay Steward Shu's time, not to mention that I was looking for tea before, which has delayed Steward Shu's work." Since this tea can't be drunk today, let's quickly let Steward Shu explain his intentions, isn't Steward Shu still in a hurry to greet people at the gate of the castle? ”

"Oh, Zhong Gongzi reminded me! What's wrong with me today? Why do you always unintentionally pull away from the topic? Shu Yan complained to herself, and explained her intention to Yu Yin, "Young master, it's autumn now, and the weather is cold, yesterday I saw that you were dressed too thinly, so I thought about making a few sets of thicker clothes for you; But why do you have a foot injury and are unable to move, it is really difficult to go to Buzhuang to choose cloth in person......"

Yu Yin saw Shu Yan's face was embarrassed, so before Shu Yan finished speaking, he hurriedly interrupted Shu Yan's words and said, "You're worried, Sister Yan'er, but you don't have to worry about it." It's autumn now, but it's not so cold that you have to wear clothes! What's more, although my kaftan looks thin, it is actually very thick! Don't worry, I'm such a big person, I know the cold and the warm, and I can't freeze; Besides, by the time the weather cooled down significantly, my foot injury would have healed, and I would be able to go to Buzhuang to make thick clothes on my own. ”

"Young master, when you say this, you will see the outside. As a housekeeper, my most basic duty is to ensure that everyone in the family is fed and clothed. In that case, how could I possibly let you make do with the autumn? Shu Yan continued to say to Yu Yin after being interrupted by Yu Yin for no reason, "So I got up early today and went to Qianjie Cloth Village, and asked Master Tian Guan, the most skilled tailor in the village, to come to the castle to tailor it for you. As for the fabric, you may not be able to choose it yourself; But it doesn't matter, I'll just pick it for you. ”

"This is really too troublesome for you, Sister Yan'er, when I come back, I bother you not to say anything, and I have to ask you to get up early in the morning to run around for me, I don't know how to thank you for repaying you." Yu Yin said excitedly to Shu Yan.

"Look at what you said, young master, didn't I tell you just now? Ensuring that everyone in this family is fed and clothed is the most basic duty of my Shu Yan as a housekeeper, where can I thank you for repaying it? What's more, it's not me who gets up early in the morning to be busy, but the tailor Master Tianguan! In order to come to the castle to tailor your clothes herself, she had to rush the work at hand, and strive for speed and quality at the same time! Shu Yan said to Yu Yin matter-of-factly.

"Sister Yan'er, when Master Tian comes to the castle, I must thank her in person!" Yu Yin said to Shu Yan gratefully.

"That's as it should be." Shu Yan gave Yu Yin affirmation.

"Sister Yan'er, I always feel that you care about me more than my father!" Yu Yin said coldly to Shu Yan.

When Shu Yan heard this, he hurriedly explained to Yu Yin for Baili Yuan: "You can't think like that, young master, you don't know, it was the master who repeatedly told me to care more and take more care of you." He also said that although he is your father, he is a man after all, and he is coarse-hearted, and he is not as careful as us women, and he will take care of people; That's why he entrusted your food, clothing, shelter and transportation to me! ”

"Sister Yan'er, is what you said true? You can't mean to say nice things about my father in front of me, right? Yu Yin asked Shu Yan suspiciously.

"Of course what I said is true, young master, didn't you still say to Zhong Gongzi just now, do you want to believe what I said without suspicion? Why, after a while, did you yourself start questioning what I was saying? Shu Yan questioned Yu Yindao.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yan'er, in fact, I'm not questioning what you said, I'm just because of the lack of father's love over the years, so it's hard to accept the care from my father for a while." Yu Yin apologized to Shu Yan and explained.

Although Yu Yin knew that since he and Zhong Daxuan entered the Jinhong Water Heart Fort yesterday, Shu Yan had been busy with them, how could he have time to receive Baili Yuan's repeated instructions? But in order to better confuse the truth with the fake, Yu Yin still decided to pretend to be extraordinarily concerned about the truth and give a reasonable explanation.

However, in fact, Yu Yin didn't care if Baili Yuan really cared about him! Anyway, he is not Bailiyuan's son, and Bailiyuan is not his real father; What's more, it is not clear whether his real father really cares about him!

"Steward Shu, let me interject, don't you mind! You seem to have inadvertently diverted the topic again! Zhong Daxuan on the side kindly reminded Shu Yandao.

"Oh, Mr. Zhong, how could I mind? I thank you that it's too late! Thank you for reminding me so much today; Otherwise, I don't know where I'm going to get the topic going! I also complain about the young master, and I always ask questions, deliberately prompting me to move the topic away. Shu Yan complained about Yu Yin, got up and continued, "Okay, I have explained my intention to you, and I have also greeted you in advance. Hurry up and get ready, I'm going to rush to the gate of the fort to meet Master Tian Guan now. ”

"Oh, Sister Yan'er, why didn't you say it earlier? It turns out that the person you are going to greet at the gate of the fort is Master Tian! Yu Yin said to Shu Yan in surprise.

"Young master, I wanted to say it earlier! You've been asking questions, and you haven't given me a chance to say it! I think I came early in the morning to say these two words, but it turned out to be delayed until now by those miscellaneous things. Okay, I don't want you to say more, this time I'm really going to meet Master Tian Guan. Shu Yan said, then turned around and walked out of the room.

"Sister Yan'er, you wait!" Yu Yin first shouted to Shu Yan, who was hurrying out, and then said to Zhong Daxuan beside him, "Brother Daxuan, you should hurry up and go with Sister Yan'er to greet Master Tian!" ”

"Okay." Zhong Daxuan answered, got up and ran to Shu Yan's side.

"No need, Zhong Gongzi, you better stay and take care of the young master, lest he sneak around again." Shu Yan declined Zhong Daxuan.

"Sister Yan'er, you better let Brother Da Xuan go with you. Master Tian took time out of his busy schedule to personally come to the door to tailor for us, and we should be warmly received. After all, one more person to greet you will show more sincerity! What's more, Brother Da Xuan went to greet me instead. Yu Yin persuaded Shu Yandao.
