Chapter 9: Honey and Arsenic

Pei Muxin led Yuan Chuyao to the study next door.

At the door, Pei Muxin didn't go in, "You go by yourself, I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to make some dishes you like." ”

Yuan Chuyao didn't doubt him, and she couldn't imagine what would be waiting for her inside.

Mrs. Pei's study is full of rich heritage, from the rich books to the objects placed, all of which are high-quality products.

Among them, there is a shelf, there are all kinds of guqin, some of the wood texture has never been seen before, and some of the carving techniques are so beautiful that people dare not let go of playing.

As he grew older, Yuan Chuyao could more or less recognize something of great value.

Although my father was the leader of the Chinese and Korean officials, in addition to the Yu Lu, there were a lot of windfalls, but the sources were complicated, and the things were really expensive, but they were not good things.

Treasures don't have to be very dazzling, after all, you can't expect a group of soldiers with a low level of education to put away things that don't look very good.

The money exchanged for life naturally has to choose valuable things, some treasures, if you can't find someone in demand, you can't even sell it.

Some solitary books, used to pad the table, are disgusted with poor quality, easy to rot.

Eyes moved slightly, following the sound of playing cards, the one near the courtyard had plenty of light to sprinkle, the card table was placed there, grandma, aunt and two grandmothers, sitting around the table, on one side was a beautiful little maid making tea, very comfortable to look at the side.

Today, there is no wind, the heavy curtains are pulled up, the house is warm, and looking at the snow in the courtyard, I have the wonderful feeling of being in two seasons at the same time.

This room also has a variety of ornaments, among which vases and cups are the most, and they are so beautiful that they want to commit crimes.

"Do you have a favorite? Take two with you when you go back. Mrs. Pei slowly sorted the cards while raising her head to speak to her granddaughter.

Yuan Chuyao was shocked, knowing that the things in her grandmother's study were terrifyingly valuable, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at it: "I don't like it, I can't taste these things, I'm just a layman." ”

Mrs. Pei laughed when she heard this, took the tea held by the little maid, took a sip and put it down: "Why bother to be presumptuous, follow our old lady for ten days, and then enter the door. ”

However, Yuan Chu Yaozhi is not here, maybe she will like it when she is older, but now her interest is in playing horses, and it is estimated that a delicacy will be more tempting to her.

Thinking so, she said the same.

even asked: "What does my aunt like, if I happen to meet it, I will help you keep it." ”

is so sensible that she doesn't know how to answer, Mrs. Pei understands why her daughter is bored.

To be honest, the little girl used to be very ignorant, she didn't distinguish between relatives and relatives, and she always did something that made everyone in Houfu sad.

As an elder, I understand that she has no mother since she was a child, so she will be unreasonable, but it is still difficult to like her.

Listening to her sleek words that took the initiative to show goodwill, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Being ignorant and being bewitched in the dark means that you have not really suffered and are sad, and you think that you are living in a honey pot, even if it is fake, the sweetness in your heart is real.

I understood, I saw it, the honey became arsenic, and the poison that had been swallowed suddenly came out, how could the pain be endured.

She...... I'm only sixteen years old!

Mrs. Pei replied on behalf of her daughter-in-law: "She likes to drink, drink the strongest wine, and dance the most beautiful sword." He smiled as he spoke.

Yuan Chuyao was taken aback: "My aunt is so powerful, I also learned to dance, I also tried sword dance, and then ...... The sword could not be lifted. ”

People who have seen her aunt will praise her for her dignified atmosphere, gentleness and elegance, but it turns out that her preferences and expressions are very different, which is really unimaginable.

Mrs. Pei laughed out loud, "Yao'er is really too upright, but she also has a light sword, so you can still give it a try if you have the chance." ”

In addition to suona and erhu, Yuan Chuyao really didn't have to learn anything famous.

"I'll try it when I'm free, but I prefer a heavier bronze sword, and when I'm stronger, not to mention the momentum of a man who can't be opened, it's enough to have the ferocity of a tiger descending the mountain. ”

I can't tell what it feels like, but it is the weak period when she was played with and applauded that she remembers it so deeply that her preferences have changed slightly.

Some of the fierce and terrible in the eyes of others made her yearn for it.

Without waiting for Yuan Chuyao to come up and watch, the game on the table was over, and his aunt was the winner, and the harvest was rich.

One of the grandmothers got up and gave up her position, but Yuan Chuyao was not polite to her, sat down directly, and asked, "How should I play?"

Mama explained to her one by one, full of patience.

Yuan Chuyao listened carefully, she had never played such a magical game.

The stumbling and stumbling of novices will not affect the novelty brought by winning or losing.

Yuan Chuyao played as slowly as Mrs. Pei, and the play made Mrs. Pei feel tormented.

Fortunately, Mrs. Pei opened her mouth to lead the topic, "Since you know that you came to cry with the old man, there must be something going on, and it is better to let me wait for you to give you an idea, than to bear it alone." ”

Mrs. Pei was afraid that if the old lady spoke too directly, the little girl would not be able to wipe her face.

Yuan Chuyao's unexpectedly unexpectedly face did not change, and said bluntly: "For many years, the Gao family has coaxed me as a fool, and after finding out, I feel ashamed of your cherishment, so I will cry." ”

By implication, she wasn't crying for shelter.

Mrs. Pei frowned, and asked carefully: "How did you find out that she was bluffing you?"

Yuan Chuyao played a card, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I haven't suffered much." ”

That's sin!

The card in Mrs. Pei's hand snapped out, and her face was much colder: "The Gao family has been in charge for many years, is it true that she is the mistress of the General's Mansion!"

Yuan Chuyao touched the cards, felt the lines on his fingertips, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have to be angry with the smoky people, I will return them one by one." ”

"How are you going to go back?" Old Madam Pei seemed to have been waiting for her to say cruel words, grasping the blank space in her mind at the moment, and launching a pursuit.

Yuan Chuyao didn't panic, she already had a lot of regulations in her heart, no matter which one she had, it would inevitably be dark, and she didn't want to say what she wanted to do in front of her grandmother.

simply said bluntly: "I don't know, but grandma wants to teach me?"

She was also clever enough to draw conclusions from the old lady's seductive tone.

Mrs. Pei suddenly received too much surprise today, she used to have too deep prejudices about the little girl, and she hadn't seen her for a long time, what did she think would happen in her heart, but it didn't happen, and she suddenly had a strange feeling with her niece.

Old Madam Pei smiled: "I can't talk about teaching you, but I just tell you what you have seen and heard and what you think about your old body, so that you can avoid some detours." ”

Yuan Chuyao learned the scholar's bow in the play, and said with a smile like a flower: "Please give me advice from the old gentleman, and I will listen to the students." ”
