Chapter Twenty-Four: The First Knowing Battle
She chased Yuan Bao'er inside, and when she saw Gong Changyi and Gong Qing both raising their glasses, she hurriedly said, "You can't drink it." ”
Gong Changyi paused and looked at her inexplicably.
Yuan Bao'er repeatedly treated her with contempt, and had the heart to teach her a lesson, so she restated her own set of theories, and said: "When the concubine first came, she shouldn't have talked too much, but the concubine really couldn't bear the master being deceived by his subordinates, so she told her." ”
"Everything the concubine said is true, and there is no half-false."
She pinched her handkerchief and looked tuked.
Gong Changyi looked at Yuan Bao'er.
Yuan Bao'er nodded and said calmly: "The pearl lady is right. ”
Gong Changyi's face instantly turned cold, and he put down the teacup with a little force, obviously if there was no reasonable explanation, this matter could not be good.
Pearl raised her chin slightly, and smirked at her.
Yuan Bao'er smiled, at this moment she really made up her mind.
Her identity is just because of the poor thinking of the two parties to be vigilant, and she walks the rope every day, and she will die if she is not careful.
Pearl harbors ill will towards her, and if she knows that something is wrong, her life will be in jeopardy.
"The water here is hard, and it is not suitable for making tea, but the villain has a tricky tongue and does not like the bitterness in the water, so he made some sand and gravel for filtration."
"The villain found that as long as this water is passed a few times, most of the earthy smell can disappear, and if you pay a little attention when cooking, you can remove all the earthy smell."
"If you don't believe me, you can order someone to go to the pantry and get some raw water."
After making up her mind, Yuan Baoer was calm and talked eloquently, which was more credible.
Gong Qing looked at Gong Changyi and saw that he didn't say anything, so he got up with a smile, "I'll accompany you." ”
Yuan Bao'er didn't know what he meant, and went over to get water.
On the way, Yuan Bao'er drooped her head and sneered, "Why doesn't the pearl lady like me?" ”
She was depressed.
Gong Qing asked, "Have you offended her?" ”
Yuan Bao'er thought for a moment and shook her head, "Before the adults came, I didn't even enter the second gate, and so far I have only seen her two or three sides. ”
Gong Qing's mind turned slightly, and he vaguely understood that what Pearl did was probably just a competition for favor.
However, his own adult did not bring the main concubine room this time, and Pearl's identity is now involved in the inner house, and he is not easy to interfere with as a guard.
Yuan Bao'er scooped up some of the unused water in the teapot and handed it over.
Gong Qing took a sip, and it was indeed much better than what he drank in other places.
He glanced at Yuan Bao'er meaningfully and took her back.
"How," Gong Changyi asked.
"It's exactly as she said," Gong Qing handed over.
Gong Changyi sipped a little, his brows moved slightly, "It's a bit like the taste of Tiger Leaping Spring." ”
Gong Qing smiled and should be.
Tiger Leap Spring is the most famous spring around Jingshi, because it is opened in the imperial temple, and no one can enter it.
Fortunately, the sage was generous and allowed to open for three days every ten months, so that the dignitaries and nobles in the capital could carry water down.
Gong Changyi has had a few altars, and Gong Qing has also tasted a few because of this.
Pearl didn't know what Tiger Yuequan and Dog Yuequan were, but when she saw the two of them like this, she knew that she had kicked the iron plate, and she hurriedly bent her willow-like waist, and said softly: "It's the concubine who doesn't know why, I misunderstood the master's cronies, and I asked the master to punish her." ”
Gong Changyi smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Yuan Bao'er.
He said that this tea tasted very good, even better than what Master Han had found, and he thought he was delusional, but it turned out to be a ghost caused by this little thing.
Yuan Bao'er saw Gong Changyi smiling and silent, and muttered in her heart, no matter how she spurned it, she still had to make a sincere and frightened look on her face, "The villain is just a subordinate, no matter what, it should be." ”
"Don't be like this, lady, but it's a villain."
She knelt on the ground and bowed.
Such solemnity is not the case when I was loyal in the first place.
Pearl was startled, but the next moment she cursed in her heart.
Originally, she showed weakness, and she could have exposed this matter.
But now that she is in such a fight, she is a woman with no name or division, even if she had something with her before, as long as she has a reputation for provoking the master and servant and talking nonsense, she will not get along well when she enters the Gong family in the future.
She can only follow Master Gong now, and she must not lose.
This person serves Master Gong closely, and what he wants to do is not too easy.
For her own sake, Pearl felt that this man must not stay.
She clenched her fingers slightly, made up her mind, and after passing this level, she disposed of people's thoughts.
Suddenly, she felt a slight chill on her scalp.
Pearl raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Gong Changyi's gaze was a little cold.
She felt a stir in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Gong Qing looked at Yuan Bao'er, who was still lying on the ground, his eyes slightly bent.
This kid thought he was a good-tempered kid, but he didn't expect it to be quite tricky.
Gong Changyi's eyes flickered with emotion, it was just a small quarrel, and this woman showed resentment, if she went back to the mansion and got along with those people, she would probably have an accident.
He is looking for a woman to relieve his boredom, but he doesn't want to see the sky and judge the case.
After thinking for a moment, he finally sighed, "That's it, you can go back." ”
A woman who causes trouble before she has a name can't compare with the coquettes in his mansion.
Although she is good-looking, there are many good women, and she grabs a lot of them in the Jingshi.
"Master," Pearl didn't think she was doing anything, she was sent away, and her face was bloodless and slumped to the ground.
She has lost her most precious thing, and if she is sent back, with Mrs. Zhou's temperament, she will definitely turn around and sell her.
And those that can be sold at a high price, looking at the entire Yingzhou, that is just that place.
She would rather die than be piled down by a thousand people.
"Master, you can't, the concubine is already your person," she rushed over and hugged Gong Changyi's leg and hugged it hard, in order to arouse pity for herself.
However, Gong Changyi has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has long been like an iron heart, and once he is determined, he will make up his mind.
He looked sideways at Gong Qing, who knowingly pulled the pearl's bun and pulled it out.
This time, Yuan Baoer saw it with her own eyes, and finally knew why Agate was so embarrassed last time.
As far as Gong Qing is concerned, he didn't pull her hair off, so they are lucky.
Yuan Bao'er was still kneeling there quietly, and Gong Changyi showed a smile, "Get up." ”
Yuan Bao'er stood up honestly.
Gong Changyi touched the teacup and pushed it away, "Let's go make it again." ”
Yuan Bao'er peeked at him, and when she saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, she simply agreed.
Gong Qing came in, saw her come out, and hooked the corners of his mouth at her.
Yuan Bao'er knew that although Gong Qing only said one word, his attitude was actually biased towards her.
It's really in vain for her flattery these days without a trace.
She smiled at Gong Qing's gaze and ran to the pantry.
Gong Qing was flashed by her smile, and muttered in his heart, this seemed to be the happiest time he laughed.
With that in his head, he stepped inside.
Gong Changyi had already adjusted his mood and talked to him about Feng Hai and the current situation.
Outside the courtyard, Steward Zhou heard the news, and Pearl sat at the end of the corridor in embarrassment, whimpering lowly.
Steward Zhou didn't know the truth, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he only asked people to send the pearl away first and go to Yuan Bao'er by himself.
Knowing that she was asking about the pearl, she smiled faintly, "That lady said a few words about me in front of the master, but she didn't expect to hurt herself." ”
