Chapter Seventy-Two: Sudden Onset
Running to a place where there was no one, Mai Xiaohuan patted his chest and muttered "It's dangerous". From this, she also discovered one thing, Zhou Yue is not as unkind as he shows, although he is fierce, he is not a bad person, as long as he follows him a little and doesn't make those unforgivable mistakes, he will not hold on to it.
After some tossing by Mai Xiaohuan, Zhou Yue's mood can be imagined, he finished his meal quickly, got up and left the county guard mansion first.
When he returns to the Lotus Temple tomorrow, will he beat himself up and get angry! Mai Xiaohuan lay on the bed and sighed.
"Why can't you learn to follow your son! You have to get it right every time, I really don't know what you're drawing? ”
If he hadn't made the first move today, Zhou Yue might not have been able to make it difficult for himself in public! It's a trivial matter to lose face, if your father-in-law and Brother Qu are laughed at by outsiders, wouldn't it be even more worth the loss?
"At most, I'll be punished when I go back!" It's not like I haven't been punished.
After dinner, Qu Zhiyi and the Lin family, as well as the two young grandmothers who lived in the capital and knew more about Zhou Yue's situation, persuaded Mai Xiaohuan together and warned her not to go against Zhou Yue in the future.
"Got it." Mai Xiaohuan listened to the lesson honestly, and scolded Zhou Yue in his heart, in which life did he owe him, because he had to go through so many hardships in this life.
"Hey! Actually, he was also a poor man. Sister Qu Hao sighed and said leisurely: "What an amazing and brilliant character Princess Chen was back then! It's a pity that I went early. King Chen...... is that kind of temperament, the emperor and the queen mother are very fond of Yue Gongzi, but who knows that he has that kind of strange disease. ”
Strange disease? No wonder he hid in Qingcheng County, he was still strange! If he is the son of the prince, and he is favored by the emperor and the queen mother, how can he be named the prince, why is he still the "son of Yue"!
"Xiao Huan, have you dealt with Yue Gongzi in the Lotus Courtyard?" Qu Hao asked curiously, according to him, Zhou Yue and Mai Xiaohuan didn't look like people who had no intersection, Qu Hao was watching from the side, and he always felt that the two of them were very familiar.
Mai Xiaohuan pulled out a smile, better than crying, I can't see where to go, about the relationship between herself and Zhou Yue, it can't be sorted out for a day and a night! How to compare the relationship between the two people! It's hard to describe.
Say it's a master and a servant! Mai Xiaohuan doesn't think of herself as his maid; Let's say it's an opponent! The difference in strength is too great, the two of them are like a pair of tumblers, if they don't meet, they will always cause something.
Seeing that her sister was deserted again, Mai Xiaofang reached out and twisted her arm, she knew the whole story, but she didn't dare to speak! If something is wrong, it will be a big disaster.
"Xiao Quanzi beside that Yue Gongzi has gone to our yard to eat a few times, and we have also gone to Yifeng Garden to deliver things a few times, and there is no intersection other than that." Even if there is, I can't say it anymore, if I tell the truth, I will definitely frighten my father-in-law and mother-in-law and my sister who just recognized.
"Xiao Huan, you must remember, don't ...... Million...... Don't mess with Yue Gongzi, even if you are wronged, even if Yue Gongzi is intentionally embarrassed, you can't offend him, understand? The eldest lady of the Qu family told again and again.
Mai Xiaohuan pursed her lips and nodded, because there was no way to agree, and even if she wanted to, it was too late, so she had to nod her head to indicate that she understood, as for how they would understand, she couldn't care so much.
When Qu Wen heard that Mai Xiaohuan was going to leave the next morning, he was not calm, he hadn't eaten enough of those dim sum! Can't let her go. Mai Xiaohuan wanted to say that he didn't want to go back to the Lotus Courtyard! With Zhou Yue's careful eyes, I don't know how to toss myself tomorrow!
Mai Xiaohuan made a lot of delicious food for Qu Wen, and wrote a few recipes for making dim sum for the two sisters who were about to return to Beijing.
The next morning, just after breakfast, the sisters took the car back to the lotus courtyard, Mai Xiaohuan accompanied the county lord to finish the class, returned to the residence and made a cake for himself and the second sister, although it is not as soft as the modern cake, it is better than the aroma.
"Are you doing this for Yue Gongzi?" Mai Xiaofang thought that her sister had finally opened her mind, and she was willing to bribe Zhou Yue!
"Let's keep it for ourselves! I'll talk about it better later. "I didn't plan to tempt Zhou Yue with food, these rich sons, young ladies are very expensive, in case you eat what you send where you feel uncomfortable, it's not good, in ancient times, eating food was easy to make people make a fuss, it's always right to be careful.
When Mai Xiaohuan entered the study, Zhou Yue was practicing calligraphy, and the posture looked quite like that.
The people didn't look up, Mai Xiaohuan didn't say much, and started to work after saluting, as if nothing had happened yesterday. Xiao Quanzi rubbed his head and thought about it, this girl really offended her master yesterday, she will never be mistaken, now like this, which one are the two of them singing!
After writing the words, Zhou Yue waved his hand at Xiaoquanzi, and just when Mai Xiaohuan wanted to be the first to run out, Zhou Yue seemed to have eyes on the top of his head, pointed at her and said, "You stay." ”
Mai Xiaofang and Xiaoquanzi glanced at Mai Xiaohuan with great sympathy, and quietly retreated, all they could do was to walk away obediently, in this case, Zhou Yue's anger might be ...... Possible...... It's going to be a little bit smaller.
"You didn't come to the front room yesterday to praise me! I don't care! But the Qu family didn't do anything wrong, I can't let them be affected by me. ”
"So, instead of teaching you a lesson, I should praise you, right?" Zhou Yue was amused by Mai Xiaohuan, when did this girl learn to sue the wicked first, does it depend on how she has become easy to talk now, so she has to inch in.
Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly shook his head, he had never thought of being praised in front of Zhou Yue, he was already thankful if he didn't look for trouble, where would he dare to have other extravagant hopes!
"Do you know who I hate the most? Self-righteous people, especially women. Zhou Yue put down his pen and said word by word, such as his stepmother and the women in his father's backyard.
Mai Xiaohuan nodded in agreement: "I also hate people like that." "Self-righteous men are the most annoying, relying on their power and power to not treat others as human beings.
How can you cooperate like this today! Zhou Yue was too lazy to dig deeper, and he also found one thing, there was no problem at all with what Mai Xiaohuan said, but if he thought about it, it was either a big pit or an insinuation, which did not match her innocent expression and thin little body at all.
"Come and sharpen the ink."
Mai Xiaohuan was grinding ink, and he was busy watching Zhou Yue practice calligraphy, this guy's calligraphy was as good-looking as his person.
"Do you understand? I forgot, you are also literate, or you can write a few words and I'll take a look, forget it, or don't waste my good pen and ink and rice paper. ”
Mai Xiaohuan turned around and pouted, his personality is like a child who makes trouble when he can't get candy, everyone puts him first in their hearts is the best, if not, he will try his best to create trouble.
This is a sign of extreme insecurity, and only by determining his position can he feel at ease and at ease.
"Why are you in a daze again, I think it's good for you to call Derpy from tomorrow."
"It's good if you're happy."
"Really, I ......" Zhou Yue suddenly threw away the pen in his hand, knocked over the inkstone on the table, his face turned from ruddy to pale, and in the blink of an eye, beads of sweat on his forehead were already covered with sweat.
"What's wrong with you?" Mai Xiaohuan wanted to help him sit down, but he was thrown out of the way by him, and he pointed to the door with trembling fingers.
If I had never seen this kind of battle, there were only eight or nine little maids, and I am afraid that they would have run out crying and shouting at this moment. But according to Mai Xiaohuan's observation, Zhou Yue, a face-saving person, must not want too many people to see him now.
She endured the pain, pushed open the door and shouted "Brother Xiaoquanzi", after Xiaoquanzi came over, she calmly pointed to the study, and after the people entered, she also intimately helped their master and servant close the door.
Should I leave or should I stay and help them guard the door? Mai Xiaohuan ran out of ideas for the first time, looking at Zhou Yue's appearance, it seemed that he was enduring a terrible pain, this pain came suddenly, and without warning, what kind of disease is this?
Seeing the second sister coming over, Mai Xiaohuan asked her to go back to her residence first, saying that she would stay to help Yue Gongzi sharpen his ink for a while. Mai Xiaofang glanced at her sister worriedly, she also said that she and Tang Yujun were enemies, and in her own opinion, she and Yue Gongzi were the real enemies.
As soon as Mai Xiaohuan left, Mama Li turned around the corner of the study, still holding a tray in her hand, she should let her in! Or do you want to stop her first and report to the inside?
"Mama Li, just let us do this kind of rough work, how can you trouble your old man to do it yourself?" Mai Xiaohuan raised her voice and shouted, she made up her mind, if there was no sound inside, and Mama Li had to go in, she would find a chance to leave here, these people were a gang, and she couldn't do the thankless work of being caught in the middle.
Mama Li glanced at Mai Xiaohuan with disdain, it's this stinky girl again, she has good skills, she actually went to Gongzi's study on an errand, look at the thin and small appearance, do you really think that when you get close to Gongzi, you will have the opportunity to fly on the branch and become a phoenix?
Mama Li planned to bypass Mai Xiaohuan and enter the door, Mai Xiaohuan patted her clothes and planned to get out of the way, she just looked down and found that Zhou Yue's guy pushed herself, not to mention that the fall was very painful, and there was a cut in her clothes.
"Mai Xiaohuan, you made Gongzi so angry, you actually ran out to hide, and Gongzi asked you to come in and grind ink! Don't hurry up, Mama Li, just hand the things to this girl, and the son said let you go back and rest, and let the person who makes him angry do the errand work in the future, and don't want to eat if you don't do it well. Xiao Quanzi's slightly angry voice came from inside.
