Sanniang watched Wang Jing out of the inner courtyard.

The boy is taller and taller than his peers, and his posture looks so imposing, confident and sunny. Even in the rainy weather, Sanniang could feel the vitality emanating from Wang Jing's body, which seemed to be able to dispel the haze of the past few days.

Looking at it like this, Sanniang actually has a kind of sigh that the elders see their children and grandchildren and grow up to become talents.

"How is my brother's studies lately?" Sanniang asked Bai Ying softly, the affairs of the outer courtyard have always been in contact with Bai Ying.

Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang: "The homework of several young masters is the best of the second young master's. Fifth Young Master...... The fifth young master has made great progress, and he is also very hard working on weekdays. ”

Sanniang sighed lightly, it seems that Wang Jing is really not a material for reading, even if he changes the environment, changes the famous teacher, and works hard all day long, it is only the middle and lower levels.

"Miss, this is the capital, and most of the students in the official school are selected by various state capitals, and the fifth young master is very good." Bai Ying saw that Sanniang didn't speak, so she opened her mouth and said with relief.

Sanniang smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. Bai Ying has been by Sanniang's side for many years, so she naturally understands Sanniang's worries.

Entering the house, Bai Ying saw that there were only his own people left in the house, so he spoke again: "However, I heard Master Deng say that the young master is not only good at kung fu, but also very good at riding and archery. Master Deng sometimes discussed some battle examples with the young master, and the young master also had his own unique opinions. ”

Sanniang paused when she heard this, and Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang carefully: "Master Deng said that if the young master can go to the martial arts test, he will definitely be able to win." ”

Sanniang sat on the couch and did not speak.

Bai Ying didn't speak again.

Sanniang is also smiling bitterly in her heart, if this family is in charge of her. She naturally agreed with Wang Jing to take the martial arts exam. But what kind of family is the Wang family? Even in the First Emperor Dynasty, when the first emperor was so heavy on martial arts and light on literature, the people of the Wang family have always been proud of the noble literati in the clan.

Who can disobey the family rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years? The ancestors stipulated that the descendants of the Wang family were all selected for the imperial examination, and they were not allowed to take the inclined path. Even if you don't get in, donating an official is better than taking the path of a martial artist. Because in the eyes of the Wang family, martial arts can also be regarded as an oblique path.

Over there, Bai Guo heard Sanniang and Bai Ying whispering here. She faintly heard what she was talking about the Fifth Young Master, so she came over: "Sister Bai Ying, are you telling the young lady about the cinnabar in the Fifth Young Master's room?" ”

looked at Bai Guo's sparkling eyes. Bai Ying reprimanded: "You are still so unruly in front of Miss. If you let Mama Zhao see it, you will be punished again. ”

Although Bai Ying and Bai Guo are both first-class maids, in Sanniang's room, several maids are still looking at Bai Ying's horse, and Bai Guo is also used to being trained by Bai Ying.

Bai Guo stuck out his tongue, and immediately stood on the side with low eyebrows: "The slave has exceeded the rules, please punish the young lady." ”

Sanniang shook her head helplessly, and then asked Bai Ying: "What she said about cinnabar." What is it? ”

Bai Ying frowned, glared at Bai Guo again, and then said to Sanniang, "Miss." This girl is open-mouthed on weekdays, and she hears the wind and rain. Don't listen to her nonsense. ”

Bai Guo muttered unconvinced: "Where is my nonsense, the maids in the outer courtyard all say so, even the green calyx next to the eldest young master says so, and she also said that it was Cinnabar herself who admitted it." "The green calyx is the maid of the Jin family to Wang Ji, and now she is very favored by Wang Ji's side.

Sanniang saw that the more they talked, the more strange it became, and even Wang Ji's roommate was pulled in, and couldn't help but ask Bai Yingdao: "What did Bai Guo say?" ”

Bai Ying thought about it, afraid that Sanniang would blame her for not reporting it, so she only said: "Miss, this is just a few broken mouths outside, and it is not accurate if there is no basis for it, and the slave is afraid that it will damage the reputation of others if she says it." ”

Sanniang nodded and said: "Your concerns are right, you can talk about it, I will judge if it is true, and I will not wronged anyone." ”

Bai Ying thought that her young lady's temperament really didn't look like something that could be swayed by rumors, so she leaned into Sanniang's ear and whispered: "Miss, the maids in the outer courtyard are saying that the cinnabar beside the fifth young master has a ...... for the fifth young master Have ideas. Last time, Mrs. sent a few little maids to serve several young masters in the outer courtyard, but the two who were assigned to the courtyard of the fifth young master were stopped by cinnabar and did not let the young master get closer, and they could only do some needlework or other chores. Some people say that the fifth young master is also very tolerant of cinnabar, and handed over all the things in his yard to her, because the fifth young master also wants to accept cinnabar into the room. ”

She knew about the Xue family's sending maids to Wang Jing and others in the outer courtyard, and the Xue family also pulled her to pick them together. The two sent to Wang Jing's side were neat in appearance, not particularly outstanding, and behaved in a proper manner. Although neither she nor the Xue family meant that, such a maid did look like a housekeeper that the elders like to choose for their children and grandchildren.

Wang Jing is at this age, and it is normal for outsiders to misunderstand.

Sanniang was silent.

Cinnabar was originally the person that Liu pointed to Wang Jing's side, but Sanniang has not found anything to do with Liu and Erniang after observing over the years, and it must not have been deliberately arranged at the beginning.

Cinnabar and Angelica have followed Wang Jing for many years, both of them were personally trained by Mama Zhao, and it is very reassuring to do things for people, Wang Jing has also been accustomed to the service of the two over the years, and it is inevitable that those who have served since childhood will be closer than others.

Thinking of Cinnabar's charming face, Sanniang didn't know if Wang Jing also meant this.

"Miss, you don't have to worry about cinnabar. Although she was assigned by Aunt Liu to serve the young master, Cinnabar has not been involved with that side over the years, and Aunt Liu has passed away, and the slave maid listened to the slave's mother Lao Tzu said that Cinnabar's parents are all working on the Wang family's Zhuangzi, and they have nothing to do with the second lady, and they are also honest. If...... The young lady only needs to call her to her side and knock and knock, and she will not make any trouble, and when the young grandmother enters the door in the future, she doesn't dare to think about what she shouldn't think. ”

Bai Ying saw Sanniang's silence, thinking that she was worried that the cinnabar was not easy to control. However, Cinnabar has been by Wang Jing's side for many years, and if Wang Jing takes over the house, it is reasonable in their opinion.

Sanniang smiled and didn't say anything.

***

In the evening, Wang Jing followed Master Deng to practice martial arts outside and had not yet returned. The courtyard of the Wang family in the capital is small, and Wang Jing is afraid of attracting attention, so he does not practice martial arts in his yard. After Xuan Shao returned to Beijing, because he knew the situation of the Wang family, he found a place for Wang Jing outside, where there was not only a martial arts hall, but also a small racecourse, and there were very few people there on weekdays, Wang Jing liked that place very much.

In the outer courtyard, in the small cross-courtyard where Wang Jing lives, Angelica is whispering to the two maids about dinner. But I saw a maid at the door who was carrying a delicate appearance and was not worse than cinnabar and walked in with a burden, and looked around as she walked, looking very unruly.

Angelica didn't wrinkle, but she had always been silent, so she didn't pay attention to it at first, and only said to the two little maids: "You go down first, the fifth young master is about to come back, and the meal in the kitchen is almost ready, you have set the table before." ”

The two little maids retreated, and before leaving, they didn't forget to glance at the maid who came in, very curious.

Angelica thought about it and was about to step forward, but he felt that his arm was being pulled by someone, and when he turned around, it was cinnabar.

"Go back to the house, I'll leave it here." Cinnabar's face was cold, and her voice was a little tense.

Angelica has always followed the rules and is unwilling to participate in these things, but Cinnabar has worked with her for many years, and the relationship between the two has always been good, so Angelica still reminded Cinnabar in a whisper: "She was sent by the old lady, and she pointed out that she wanted to be a person in the house for the young master, and she had already passed the clear road, so you should not conflict with her, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." I understand your thoughts, but as long as the young master doesn't let go of his mouth for a day, you will have to guard the duty of a maid for a day, and you can't go beyond it. ”

Cinnabar's face stiffened, with a bitter taste on his face, and he muttered: "I have served by his side for many years, even when Aunt Liu threatened my parents' livelihood in the most difficult time, I never thought of betraying him. I don't want much, I just want a place to stand beside him, and I will serve him and the young grandmother well in the future, and I will never have two hearts. But why doesn't he understand me? ”

Angelica paused as he walked into the house and sighed. She didn't look as good as Cinnabar, and she didn't have Cinnabar's wit, so she never had the luxury of looking in that direction, even if it was the best way out that the maids thought.

But Zhu Sha's feelings for the Fifth Young Master have been in her eyes all these years, but although the Fifth Young Master is closer and more tolerant to them than others, she has no other thoughts.

A few days ago, it was Cinnabar's turn to be on duty one night, and in the middle of the night, Cinnabar ran back crying. Angelica got up and lit the lamp to see, and when he saw that the buttons on the placket of Cinnabar's shirt were messy, he was shocked, and was about to ask her what was going on, but he was immediately silenced when he thought that it was Cinnabar on duty this night. She thought it was the fifth young master who had received cinnabar.

But Cinnabar cried all night, and the next morning he told her not to tell her about last night, and said that the fifth young master didn't want her, and the fifth young master said that he didn't want to block his future wife's heart.

"Cinnabar, you'd better dispel this thought. How can we, who are slaves and maids, sway the minds of our masters? Since the fifth young master is ...... That's what you don't bless. We have been by the young master's side for so long, with the young master and the third lady here, it is easy to ask for a good future in the future, you don't have to get along with yourself. Angelica couldn't help but say more.

Cinnabar bit her lip and showed a stubborn look on her face.

Angelica was naturally familiar with her, so she could only shake her head when she saw it and turned around. (To be continued)
