Chapter 44: Grandmother's Visit
"No one is annoying you, what are you angry about?" Chu Jiayin didn't have much energy anymore, so she was reminded of her appearance.
Peach Blossom moved the chair to the window, sat down, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "It is said outside that the sixth girl, you are evil and suddenly able to write and paint, why can't you be a girl, you are talented and smart, and you learn quickly?" ”
Chu Jiayin suddenly panicked when he heard the word evil. The soul in her shell was reborn, and it was really evil in the end. These rumor-mongers usually talk nonsense, but now they really say a strange thing.
Chu Jiayin tried her best to stay calm, and said nonchalantly: "Second brother teaches so well, what's wrong with me learning so fast?" This is all taught by the second brother. ”
Hearing Chu Jiayin mention Chu Jingyan, Peach Blossom's face became even more ugly. She said, "Sixth girl, don't mention the second son. People outside say that the second son used evil magic to manipulate you, so that you can learn so quickly, and suddenly you can write poetry and paint, and you are talented. If you go out and mention the second son, I'm afraid that others will suspect that you are really evil. ”
"Huh? Outrageous! Whose mouth is so bad? Where did they see that the second brother was able to use evil magic and manipulate me? Chu Jiayin couldn't get up, she thought that someone was going to guess that she was reborn in a lifetime and had other souls in her body.
Who knows, unreliable rumor-mongers are unreliable after all, and what they say is always made up blindly.
Peach Blossom said again: "It's not because of the sixth girl, your attitude towards the second son in the past is completely different from now. Everyone thinks left and right, and they also think that something is wrong with you. ”
She deliberately wanted to please her second brother and wanted to hug her thighs, but she was misrepresented like this, and she hurt Chu Jingyan instead? How is this good, the second brother is about to participate in the township examination, if the reputation stinks to the ears of the official, he may not even be qualified to participate in the examination.
"Something is wrong with me, I suddenly become studious, is it still wrong? Do those who spread rumors have to see that I am illiterate and inactive all my life to be happy? Chu Jiayin was so angry that she almost got better, but the moment she wanted to jump up from the bed, the sick demon remembered to entangle her and make her fall back.
Seeing that Chu Jiayin was excited, Peach Blossom hurriedly got up to take care of her, patted her on the back, and comforted: "Miss, don't be angry, don't be angry." Left and right are just listening to words, and there shouldn't be much wind and waves. ”
There was just a little wind in the house, and something came outside. The children who walked the streets and sang ballads were all singing about Chu Jiayin, what kind of children had a female goblin in their shells, and what Sixth Lady who was the same age as them didn't play with mud or fight, and only played with adults.
Regardless of whether the Chu family believes it or not, anyway, the neighbors believe that Chu Jiayin is not an ordinary child, but no one believes that this child is precocious and learns things faster than his peers.
Before Chu Jiayin was eight years old, although she was an arrogant little witch who wanted to make trouble in the world, she acted like a child. After the flower-viewing banquet, show your talents, and come in a strange way.
Before this strange thing, the people in the courtyard of the Chu family were rumoring that the sixth lady had changed her attitude towards the second son before she had the intention to study.
Chu Jiayin could hear the peach blossoms shouting outside in a few hours, and each time it became more and more unpleasant.
She lay down dazedly, thinking to herself that she had forgotten to lay things in order not to repeat the lessons of the past. Indeed, her intelligence came in a strange way. In fact, it's not too big a fluctuation, in the previous life, she didn't know poetry, literature, etiquette and music, and in this life, she learned things except for recognizing more words than ordinary children, and there was nothing special about it.
As for the abnormal performance at the flower viewing banquet, didn't the second brother teach her to cheat?
was annoying, and there seemed to be a commotion outside the Linglong Pavilion.
Chu Jiayin faintly seemed to hear her grandmother's voice. The secret path was not good, so he hurriedly lifted the quilt and hid himself.
Knowing that so many things would happen to her during this illness, she would have confessed to her grandmother. Now that my grandmother has come to the door by herself, I am afraid that she is more worried than she confesses herself.
Did you do something bad with good intentions?
Sure enough, the dullness of the past 20 years in the previous life was not a wake-up, and a few months of study could make up for it.
Old Mrs. Chu was helped, and she came into the house worriedly, and when she saw Chu Jiayin nesting on the bed, her heart became more and more painful.
"Yinyin, you're not feeling well, why don't you tell your grandmother?" Old Madam Chu had already arrived at the bed and sat down.
Chu Jiayin lifted the quilt, looked at her grandmother, and said guiltily: "Yinyin doesn't want her grandmother to worry, this disease is not fatal, and she will be cured after a few days of rest." Don't work for my grandmother to be distracted and work for me, Yinyin is fine. ”
After saying two words, Chu Jiayin felt that his neck was hoarse, and the itching sensation in his ears came up again. She asked Peach Blossom to pour a bowl of water and drink it, and Mrs. Chu watched from the side, with all kinds of anxiety written on her face.
"Yinyin is dizzy and itchy?"
"Hmm. But it's not very uncomfortable. Chu Jiayin didn't know where Old Madam Chu could see it, and her ears were itchy.
After Mrs. Chu asked this, she looked at Chu Jiayin's face with her eyes that were not clear enough. Seeing the end, she was afraid that she couldn't see clearly, so she called the maid next to her to see.
After reading it, the maid replied: "Old lady, the sixth girl does have an injury on her face, but it seems to be better. The scab has fallen off, leaving only a shallow scar, and it may heal in two days. ”
After hearing this, Old Madam Chu's face turned ugly, as if she was worried about something big.
"Grandmother, don't worry, Yinyin will be fine soon." Chu Jiayin wondered in her heart, her grandmother suddenly came to see her, said some strange things, and specifically asked about her condition and looked at the injury on her face.
Now that I know that she is injured or sick, and I haven't asked about the troubles of my brothers and sisters, I am a little strange to be calm.
This kind of calmness reminds Chu Jiayin of a metaphor that the eve of a storm is always quiet.
"Okay, then you can rest. Grandmother will come back to see you in a few days. Old Madam Chu held Chu Jiayin's hand and patted it, and personally helped her cover the quilt before leaving with peace of mind.
Peach Blossom also went with her and sent them out.
But Chu Jiayin could hear that after leaving the main pavilion of Linglong Pavilion, his grandmother's party did not go out directly, but went to the second pavilion.
The second brother lived in the second pavilion, and in contact with the rumors that Peach Blossom heard outside, Chu Jiayin was a little worried about Chu Jingyan's situation. Maybe you're going to have to be embarrassed by your grandmother, right?
The second brother is so smart, he should be able to handle it, right?
Chu Jiayin, who firmly believed that Chu Jingyan had great powers, was still uneasy, and kept hanging on his strength to force himself not to sleep, and quietly listened to the movement outside.
What contradiction seems to be happening?
Chu Jiayin was so panicked that her grandmother and her people stayed with the second brother for half an hour, rummaging through the cabinets.
Maybe this second brother with an unknown background is really weird?
Linked to the memories of his previous life, the information that Chu Jiayin captured in his mind was that only Chu Jingyan went to be a minister to the emperor, and his status was quite high.
As for Chu Jingyan, before entering the court, Chu Jiayin only remembered the part where he bullied him. In her previous life, she didn't pay too much attention to this second brother who didn't have any blood, and she followed her grandmother to feel that he was from a wrong background, killed her eldest uncle, and teased him with a resentful heart.
Chu Jiayin forced himself to think about his expression and demeanor every time he saw Chu Jingyan in his previous life.
It was a face full of thoughts, as if it didn't care about anything. I have to say that the guy who has always put on such a face, no matter how others look at it, they feel that he has a lot of stories and secrets in private.
What are the secrets of the second brother? In his previous life, did he know his life experience?
Peach Blossom came back before Chu Jiayin couldn't hold it anymore and was about to close her eyes.
Chu Jiayin took a breath, forced himself to get up, and asked, "How is the second brother?" ”
"The second son was taken away by the old lady." Peach Blossom said regretfully.
"How so? Why did grandmother take the second brother? ”
Although Mrs. Chu didn't like Chu Jingyan, she also hated his appearance, causing her eldest son to disappear for more than ten years. But Mrs. Chu is from everyone's beautiful background, and she can be regarded as a reasonable person. If this person is really disgusted and incurable, otherwise the old lady will never take the initiative to embarrass him, even if she doesn't like it anymore.
Why this time?
Chu Jiayin only knew that her grandmother's person just now was flipping through the second brother's things.
What did you turn to?
Peach Blossom sighed and said, "Girl, you look like this, even I have to suspect that you are really bewitched by the second son." Since you have been learning poetry, literature, etiquette and music with the second son, you really haven't missed the second brother for a day, more than the old lady. You have suddenly changed your temper like this, and it is difficult for outsiders not to be suspicious, no, even Peach Blossom wants to be suspicious. ”
"Suspicion is suspicion, they are all people who don't see me well. You just don't believe me, I'm a quick learner, I'm smarter, I'm smarter than I'm older. Chu Jiayin didn't know how many people's heads were implicated in a word.
Peach Blossom felt a hint of relief in the depression, and sneered: "Peach Blossom believes you, our young lady is the smartest, but she just refuses to learn." ”
"That's it! If I really get serious and go to the temple to try out the champion person, maybe it's not as good as me! Chu Jiayin is talking angrily, how can she compare with those people, she has more memories of her previous life, and she has to cheat her second brother to teach her to compose poetry, so she can barely regain some face in front of Chu Yun.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"So my grandmother found something at the second brother's place, and why did she wait for him to leave?" Chu Jiayin turned the topic back to its original place.
Peach Blossom is really helpless, just the appearance of the six girls, if she is older, people think that she understands the love between men and women, and they must think that she is fascinated by men, and she is fascinated, and the world is only divided into Chu Jingyan and beasts!
"I found some little straw figures, a few talismans, and I also saw some scars on the second son's face, similar to the girl's face." Peach Blossom Road.
"Little straw man?"
