Chapter 32: A Few Taels
In this way, everything speaks for itself.
Ying Zhichu looked down at the book and didn't ask more.
For a whole day, the two did not say more about this matter.
When it was not early, she got up and left.
Before he could take ten steps out of the courtyard, Roushui trotted after him.
"Sir!"
The little girl's head is full of pearls and hairpins, and she runs very smart and crisp.
Ying Zhichu turned around, looked at her white and tender face full of eagerness, and puzzled: "Roushui, is there something wrong?" ”
Roushui glanced at no one around, pulled her to the corner of the bamboo forest, and first squatted down to apologize, "Roushui has talked a lot today, isn't it okay to compensate Mr." ”
"You don't talk much on a day." Ying Zhichu said indifferently.
In the past, Roushui swept back with a glance, but this time he only wrung his handkerchief, looking like he wanted to say nothing.
"Say whatever you want, so you don't have to sleep at night." Ying Zhichu said a word to break through her careful thoughts.
"It's ...... who delivered the letter tonight It's that Mr. Yang. Roushui bit her lip, her eyes were unwilling, "That scholar is a bottomless pit at first glance, but Miss ......"
Ying Zhichu saw that her little face was flushed with anger, and her heart was slightly depressed, and she deliberately quipped, "Didn't you say that the Sikong family has silver, as long as your young lady is happy, it is not worth mentioning?" ”
Hearing such sour words in Roushui's ears, she was not annoyed, only shook her head slightly, "Mr. doesn't know, I was sold into the house by my father and mother to be a maid when I was a child, I thought that I was a 'cheap person' in this life, but Miss treats me like a sister, and I am rewarded with everything delicious and good ...... wear."
Ying Zhichu's fingertips slid over the hem of his clothes, but he didn't interrupt without a sound.
"This is not the case with my young lady, she likes to wear bright clothes when she is a child, but she always goes out...... Those children are the most childlike, and the unpleasant words they say are like knives to the heart, and the rich daughters always secretly laugh at her behind their backs...... What to say, she is just reincarnated, where is she worthy of ......"
"Therefore, your young lady's temperament has changed greatly, and she doesn't like to go out, so she invited her husband to come to the house."
Roushui nodded, and then shook her head again, "Sir, you are a man and a scholar, and you have a bright future in the future, but you can't understand the bitterness in my young lady's heart." ”
Ying Zhichu's eyes drooped slightly, and he sighed in his heart: How could I not understand?
When I was young, because of this skin and temperament, I suffered all kinds of ugly words.
Those children of noble families, when they were young, their vision was not very good, every time she was punished by her husband, she asked the little schoolchildren to send fruit snacks, and no matter how bad it was, she was sent some calligraphy playthings in person after school.
For this reason, she was ridiculed by those daughters, and it was a trivial matter to sue her husband in front of her, but she was also collectively isolated and bullied her.
took advantage of her reputation for trouble, and spread it for ten more miles.
Her father's discipline became stricter, while her mother and servants avoided her.
How could she not understand the feeling of being rejected by everyone when she came to this world?
"Your young lady is lonely in her heart, and it's good if she has a thought." Ying Zhichu sighed lightly.
"Roushui is just a maid, she shouldn't have overstepped the rules to take care of Miss, but ......" she said this, tears slid down her face, and her little face was full of determination, "That scholar is not worth it!" ”
The corners of Ying Zhichu's lips hooked slightly, "How do you know that people are not worth it?" How do you know what the word means, you little girl? ”
Roushui wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Although I haven't read, I also know that silver is valuable, and if it is not valuable, my father and mother will not give me up for silver." But such a valuable thing can be heard when thrown into the water, but when it is thrown on the scholar, the young lady can only wash her face with tears all day long......"
“……”
Roushui saw Ying Zhichu frowning and silent, thinking that she had scared him, and begged softly: "Sir, don't think I'm too talkative, you are different from that scholar, I can see that you are not a lustful person who is greedy for money, I can rest assured that Miss is studying with you, if you leave angrily because of this matter, then ......"
Ying Zhichu's eyebrows flashed with surprise, and she was surprised that this outspoken little girl was so delicate that she could see what she was angry about.
However, for the sake of this kind of goods, he tricked her into going to the temple, for what?
"Roushui, your young lady is blessed to have you. If on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the scholar really eloped with your young lady, do you think that I, who had an appointment with your young lady, can still stand here alive? ”
After Ying Zhichu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Only the frightened soft water was left stunned.
——
After that day, she no longer went to Sikong Mansion to teach, and she didn't come to the invitation, thinking that she had been instructed by her master.
If she talks to Roushui, she will tell Sikong Yao as it is, and that's fine.
If it is really the two of them who are in love, she is not willing to let her be a scapegoat, let alone that kind of person......
She was really annoyed.
After this incident, it took three days before Jingchen came to her.
She glanced at him, and saw that he was all right, and he looked like he was jumping around, her heart was slightly relieved, and she didn't ask much, but silently poured a bowl of herbal tea for him.
"Really don't you go to Sikong Mansion?" He turned the teacup and looked at her face carefully, "Didn't you check the clue of the scorpion?" ”
"Let's take one step at a time, some things are more useless the more urgent they are." Should weave a light knock on the table, thoughtful.
It's not that she hasn't thought about this relationship, but Sikong Mansion is too calm.
Master Sikong is not at home all the year round, and Mrs. Sikong eats fasting and believes in Buddhism and closes her door, only one Miss Sikong is still guilty of lovesickness that can't be played with lanterns.
If Fu Scorpion really has an ulterior connection with the Sikong family, then can she still live safely to this day when she goes to teach in the house?
In other words, under the flat lake is the abyssal whirlpool, and the danger will always find her, and she just waits.
Seeing her listless appearance, Jingchen deliberately raised his voice and smiled: "Don't think about those unhappy, I'll take you to a fun place tonight!" ”
Ying Zhichu glanced at him and opened his mouth to refuse: "Excuse me, your vision has never been very good." ”
"How do you know I don't have a good eye?" Shocking Sword raised his eyebrows, looking unconvinced.
"Just look at the clothes you're wearing." Ying Zhichu lifted the teapot and got up to add water.
Jingchen glanced at his dark-patterned brocade robe, and retorted: "Very good, obviously I am handsome and handsome, chic and uninhibited!" ”
"Yes?" She tilted her head, not quite approving.
"You're really not going with me tonight?" Shocking Dust asked.
"You can't kill him, I'll follow what to do."
"How do you know I can't kill you?" Shocking dust opened his mouth and frowned, "When did I talk about killing, didn't I say don't mention that stubble again?" ”
Ying Zhichu chuckled lightly, unimpressed.
"Did you mention it first?" She pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Strange thing, you were obviously scared to death that day, why are you willing to take me this oil bottle today?" ”
Jingchen rubbed his nose with his hand, suppressed the true thoughts in his heart, and said with a cynical smile: "I thought about it, since you have wet shoes, it is better to drag you into the water, and besides, ......"
"Huh?"
He gritted his teeth and insisted on finishing his words, "I think your beautiful man's idea is good, but it's just ......"
"But what ......" vaguely a bad premonition.
