Rainy Night Visit (3)
The wind shook his head and calmly walked towards the inner room, the pink light gauze curtain gently fluttering in the wind, lining the candlelight. People kneeling on their knees stared at the thin figures who were gradually approaching the curtain, and with every step Feng Yaojue took, their hearts seemed to be closer to their throats.
The curtain that obscured the truth eventually lost its value in Feng Yaojue's hands, and when the embroidered lie came into full view, his hand holding the curtain paused in the air. He had never seen a playing card, and he looked at the piles of large and small copper plates on the table, and knew in his heart that this was clearly a gamble.
There was complexity between his eyebrows, Li Pian'er's behavior once again touched Feng Yuxuan's taboo, and it was difficult to help her cover it up this time. He was a little annoyed why he hadn't come to see it himself the other night.
If he knew this, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed now, and he shouldn't have agreed to let Feng Yuyu ask him to come with him. According to Li Pian'er's current temperament, he wants to dissuade her from gambling, and he is bound to have a trouble with him again.
"Two, Erguanren, when did you come?" As soon as the smiling hairpin raised his head slightly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar person not far away, his face full of smile instantly froze in the middle of the words, his bright eyes were wide with surprise, and his legs fell to the ground unobeyed. Stiff and trembling fingertips, I still have five unfinished playing cards. In any case, Xi Hai would never have thought that on such a rainy night, Feng Yaojue would come in the rain so late and catch them by surprise.
The other maids had already dropped their cards and knelt down before the hairpin spoke, all of them pale and did not know what to do.
Li Pian'er frowned unhappily, seeing that she, the landlord, had won this game, she had come out to stir up the situation, and she hated him in her heart, and the flames went straight up. She leaned back in her chair and threw the cards in her hand to the table at random, glaring fiercely at the person who was only one table away from her: "It's all this time, what are you doing here?" You go farther, Miss Ben is not welcome to you. ”
Even though Li Pian'er spoke ill of him and never gave him a good look, he was still not angry or angry, but at this moment, his warm face was a little more complicated with helplessness.
He casually picked up a few cards from the table, looked at them for a moment, but found that he didn't understand what it meant, his eyes swept over the few maids begging for mercy on the ground, and his voice was as usual: "This is embroidery?" Gambling is not allowed in the house, and you all regard it as a deaf ear? is so unscrupulous, no wonder the spirit is so vigorous during the day. It seems that you have a lot of money, so those who participate in gambling will be fined half a year's monthly money, and those who deliberately cover it up will be fined three months, and if they commit it again in the future, it will not be so light. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the second official, thank you for the kindness of the second official." The maids received Feng Yaojue's lightness, and they were so excited that they kowtowed again and again.
Feng Yaojue sat down on the edge of the table and instructed the fine hairpin: "Put away these pieces of paper for me, throw them from the back window, and let the rain get wet." ”
As soon as Li Pian'er heard that she was going to throw her cards, her face soaked in the candlelight changed, and she pointed at Feng Yaojue and spoke with arrogance: "Why are you throwing my things?" This is what I have worked so hard to do, and I don't care about Miss Ben's business, otherwise I will be unkind to you, and I will go back wherever you come from, and don't spoil our good deeds here. ”
Feng Yaojue saw that the fine hairpin looked at Li Pian'er, and then looked at him, but he never moved to clean up the table, obviously in a dilemma on both sides, so he spoke again: "Xichai, my words don't work for you?" ”
"Slaves don't dare." The hairpin lowered his head, and his hands were put together in a hurry. However, before her hand touched the tabletop, Li Pian'er threw a vicious look at the fine hairpin: "You dare!" Don't forget that I am your master. If you listen to him like that, then you will go with him in the future, and I will send you to be his maid, and never set foot in my house again. ”
Xi Hai paused again, silently listening to the sound of rain outside the window, she didn't know what to say, she was completely speechless, she never thought that Li Pian'er would say this, secretly glanced at Feng Yaojue's face, still without waves, obviously he didn't care about Li Pian'er's ridiculous words.
The orders of both sides cannot be disobeyed, and it is really difficult for her. She knows Li Pian'er's temper, and no one recognizes her when she starts her temper. And this Feng Yaojue can be regarded as her real master, after all, her deed of sale is in the Feng family, and the person who bought her is not Li Pian'er, and she can't do it if she doesn't listen to Feng Yaojue's orders, both sides can't afford to be guilty, and she is innocently sandwiched between the two, so that she wants to cry without tears, her face is blue and white for a while, it is better to be a shadow person.
"It's late at night, you should have rested earlier. I'm doing this for your own good, my eldest brother is outside, and he doesn't know you're gambling when I come in, otherwise, it wouldn't be the situation it is now. Feng Yaojue lowered his voice to avoid alarming his eldest brother outside.
"Tell me about you, do some despicable things, forget it, and bring a helper over, knowing that I can't beat him now, deliberately looking for my unpleasantness, despicable villain! But you miscalculated, I'm not afraid of that big! Big rooster, I'm not afraid of you, you have the ability to come, big pig's trotters, big rooster! ...... "For Feng Yaojue's kindness, Li Pian'er didn't understand it at all, but became more and more energetic, pointing at Feng Yaojue, just forget it, and actually stood up and scolded the outhouse, this is completely a living provocation, it's okay to hit someone else's gun, don't suffer a little loss and feel uncomfortable."
Her deathly screams passed through the fluttering curtain and went straight to Feng Yuxuan's ears, slowly fermenting into a thick layer of haze, enveloping Feng Yuxuan's whole body.
Taking advantage of Li Pian'er's scolding, she couldn't take care of it, and cleaned up the table with her hands and feet, she knew that if these things were seen by Feng Yuxuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, when the fine hairpin was about to throw the cards in her hand out of the window according to Feng Yaojue's instructions, Li Pian'er took the first step to understand her intentions, and immediately grabbed her jade arm, trying to snatch back her own things: "Okay, you fine hairpin, don't even listen to me, return the things to me, otherwise I will do what I say, and send you to this sick seedling to be a roommate." ”
"Mrs. Li, just listen to the advice, don't be willful anymore, look at it, your belly is a lot bigger, count the days, there are still ten days to give birth, you provoke a big official like this, it's not good for you." One of the arms of the fine hairpin was dragged by Li Pian'er and couldn't move, so she simply handed the playing card in her other hand to Feng Yaojue.
Li Pian'er pushed the hairpin away and yelled at her: "Get out, coward, Miss Ben doesn't want you to serve anymore, it's just a big rooster, and it scares you like this." ”
