Chunying froze and regretted it in her heart. How did she say it? The real Lu Chunying is illiterate, does she want to goof?!

Zhou Nian seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, when Brother Chang'er came last time, I told you to hide in the inner room, and then you and Brother You left, but when I returned to the room, I found that the books on the shelves had been turned over." I thought I was mistaken, but you must have turned it over, right? Do you know poetry? Who taught you? ”

Chunying didn't expect him to find out about it, and he didn't expect him to remember that when he was in a panic, his mind was spinning: "I don't understand poetry, at that time...... It's a moment of curiosity, yes, curiosity! Thinking that Zhou Nian didn't know the situation at her home, she calmed down a little: "My father was an errand boy in the concierge and was literate, and my mother waited for Miss when she was young, and she also learned a few rough and shallow characters...... It's not great to write, and as for poetry and allusions, I don't know ......" She glanced at Zhou Nian carefully: "Young Master Nian...... I learned it secretly, no one knows, you ...... You're not going to tell anyone, are you? "Don't say it! It's a goof!

Zhou Nian smiled: "What's this?" Literacy is a good thing. Although the old man often said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, her daughter's family is actually extremely intelligent, and she is no worse than a man when she studies, and she may be stronger......" He gradually slowed down, as if caught in a memory, and his voice became a little illusory: "When my sister was alive...... is very smart, learned "poems" at the age of three, and memorized more than 3,000 Tang and Song poems in the stomach at the age of eight...... It is often said that when she grows up, she must be the first talented woman of the Ming Dynasty, no less than Emperor Taizong's Concubine Huo Xian......"

"Young Master Nian?" Seeing that he was silent, Chun Ying screamed with some concern, Zhou Nian came to his senses, and smiled a little disappointedly: "It's rude, maybe it's a winter depression, I have nothing to do, and I can't extricate myself from the past, which makes people laugh." He straightened his face and said: "Although you are a girl in this house, it is useless to learn poetry, but if you know a few words, you can also get ahead in the future, either waiting in the study or running errands by the grandmother's side." This is a good thing, and there is no need to be afraid of others knowing. ”

Chunying pursed her lips, what she wanted. It's not this kind of "getting ahead", but she didn't say much, just asked the person the other party just mentioned with some curiosity: "You just said...... Emperor Taizong ...... The concubine? "She actually wants to ask about the emperor himself, which is likely to be a time-traveling senior.

"Emperor Taizong is an extraordinary son of heaven." Week. Nian smiled, "When he was in power, he did many surprising things, and I heard that he also established a women's school, but unfortunately it gradually declined. There is a Concubine Huo Xian in his harem, who is the daughter of a scholarly family in Jiangnan, and her poetry is agile, and she is even willing to defeat the champion of the dynasty. Speaking of which, the Hou Mansion has some relationship with her, and the Hou Ye's sister-in-law is married to the Huo family in Nanjing, which is the descendant of Huo Xianfei's mother's brother. ”

Chun Ying high-fived: "By the way, when my mother was young. It's this aunt who is waiting! I heard that all the big girls around her had read books at that time! ”

"The marriage of the Li and Huo families has been set a long time ago, and the mother of the Huo family naturally wants to. Learned. Zhou Nian looked at Chunying, "Is it better now?" ”

Chun Ying was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what he meant, a little embarrassed. Bow your head: "Much better, thank you......"

Zhou Nian nodded reassuringly and thought for a while: "Actually, the matter has arrived. At this point, it's really not something you can meddle in, you're just a little girl in Brother Yu's children's home, it's best not to talk about this matter with others. I guess...... Brother Chang'er will be fine in the end, from the old lady to the big and small stewards in the house, they will not make this kind of ugly thing known to everyone. Be careful, don't set yourself on fire. ”

Chun Ying was taken aback, and then. was a little angry, but he still thanked Zhou Nian for his kindness.

It was almost evening, and Chun Ying had to go back. She was a little reluctant. Although Zhumeng Mountain Residence is more deserted and simple, she feels much more comfortable than Huanhuaxuan when she stays here. She would rather chat with Zhou Nian for a while than go back to face the follow-up of the punishment incident in the afternoon.

However, her reason told her that she still had to do the work in the small kitchen, Aunt Li couldn't be busy alone, and Manru still had to wait in the main room, so she had to go back.

Zhou Nian was also urging her: "Go, it's the same when you come back in the future, when you go back to see Brother You, bring me a letter, and say that I want to see him." ”

Chun Ying answered, picked up the empty food box, left the mountain residence in three steps, and when she walked to the periphery of the bamboo forest, she could still see Sanqing's black figure following her. When she remembered it, she was cold to him, Chunying smiled apologetically at him, waved goodbye, and turned around and walked to the garden gate.

The mother-in-law guarding the door has returned, but the number seems to be less, and they are all gathered in the gatehouse chattering and don't know what to say, Chunying only heard the words "get out" and "house thief", and she was disgusted, and she didn't greet them, so she walked out quickly.

Back at Huanhuaxuan, the little girls had finished cleaning the courtyard, and the blood stains on the snow had completely disappeared. Chunying stared at the clearing.

Although she had listened to Zhou Nian's words and no longer cried because of self-blame, when she returned to the scene and recalled the bloody scene in the afternoon, her mood became heavy again.

Qing'er ...... Is it dead or alive now?

Shi'er called from the side: "Chun'er, you're back!" Aunt Li is looking for you, go quickly! ”

Chun Ying raised her head in a daze, suddenly came to her senses, responded with her mouth, and walked towards the small kitchen under her feet, and when she left, she couldn't help but glance at the open space again.

Entering the small kitchen, Aunt Li said, "When is it?" How did you come back? Come and help me get that chicken skin clean! Chunying hurriedly dropped the food box and took over to peel the chicken skin, Aunt Li was still there while breaking thoughts, while directing Chunying to go around, and when the meal was ready, it was sent to the backyard before she had time to take a breath.

Chun Ying moved her heavy legs and sat down on the railing of the verandah outside the kitchen, her whole body relaxed. After a while, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhou Nian is right, she is just a little girl, what can she do? She still has work to do, and she really doesn't have time to cry. Merely...... Qing'er lives a life, the master's family can stay if she wants, and she will be killed if she wants to die, just because she is the slave of the Hou Mansion! Human life in ancient times was really worthless...... But how can she be willing?! Is she just like Qing'er now, not worth a penny in the eyes of her master's family? Can be killed at any time?!

Chunying gritted her teeth secretly, she must get rid of this fate! How could she endure that her life was determined by the emotional changes of a few ancient people?!

"Chun'er ......" There was a call at the gate of the courtyard, Chunying looked up and was taken aback, it turned out that Mei Xiang was back.

Mei Xiang's face was still very pale, and she still needed someone to help her walk, but she spoke clearly and clearly, much better than the previous two days. Chunying carefully held her left hand, and Dong'er in her right hand, and the three of them slowly walked into the backyard.

Mei Xiang's return made everyone in Huanhuaxuan settle down a lot, as if they suddenly had a backbone, and there were more smiles on their frightened faces. When Lan Xiang saw it, her heart was a little sour, but she still said to Mei Xiang: "It's okay to come back to recuperate, it's always not as comfortable as here, but don't be too reluctant, your body is important." ”

Mei Xiang smiled and said, "I can save it." Actually, it's nothing anymore, it's just that my head is a little heavy, and it's good to sleep. I heard that there was an accident in the hospital, and there were a lot fewer people, so I thought that even if I didn't have a good body, I could help you. Have all the people who will spend the night outside the third young master's house at night been decided? ”

Lan Xiang paused and said dryly: "It's already decided, the third young master ordered Lu'er and Manru." ”

Mei Xiang nodded: "That's it, they were originally careful people." Mrs. is probably done with her work, and the housekeeper will bring a new mother-in-law and girl over soon, you go and take care of it, I want to take a break. ”

Lan Xiang hurriedly changed her smile, and by the way, she took away Chen'er, who had been trying to interject and talk, while Dong'er was busy sorting out the quilt and burning the kang for Mei Xiang, Mei Xiang closed her eyes at the table and recuperated, Chun Ying asked with some concern: "Sister Mei Xiang, are you really okay?" ”

Mei Xiang opened her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, I can still hold on." She sighed again: "I've only been gone for half a day, and such a big thing happened, so how can I stay at home?" Qing'er ...... Is it really irretrievable? ”

Chunying lowered her head a little sadly: "Mrs. gave the order...... The third young master originally wanted to save her, but I don't know who told her about it......"

Mei Xiang lowered her eyes: "Chun'er, I'm going to sleep first, Ming'er, you come to talk to me, how about it?" ”

Chunying agreed, seeing that her face was tired and tight, she hurriedly helped her to sleep next to the kang, and covered the quilt tightly for her with Dong'er before walking out of the room.

As soon as he went out, he met the third young master Li You, who asked anxiously: "They said that Mei Xiang is back, how is she sick?!" ”

"Sister Mei Xiang just fell asleep, she seems to be quite tired, but her condition doesn't seem to be serious." Chun Ying opened the door and let him look inside, "Third Young Master, let her sleep well." ”

Li You nodded silently, looking at Mei Xiang in the room, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Dong'er bowed cautiously and retreated, Chunying turned around to leave, suddenly remembered Zhou Nian's instructions, and said to Li You: "Fang Cai...... I sent a few snacks to Master Nian, and he asked you to come over and see him, I don't know if I have something to say to you. ”

Li You frowned: "What did he say to me?" Did you tell him about the afternoon?! ”

Chunying shrunk her neck: "He saw me crying, so he asked about ......"

Li You glared at her angrily: "Now I can't count my words, right?" Whatever I say, you're all on deaf ears, aren't you?! Who do you think you are?! ”

Chunying knew that she was wrong, so she turned around and ran away in fear. Li You stood in place, only feeling a stomach of grievances and a stomach of resentment.

Who can he vent to? The mother was for his good, and he could not oppose her decision; And the girls around him also have the affection for waiting for many years, and he can't say anything about punishing them heavily; I want to scold my second brother for being vicious, but it hinders my grandmother's face. In the end, he could only raise his foot and kick the pillar a few times, resisting the urge to shout, and when he heard Lan Xiang's voice calling him, he calmed down and reverted to the gentle young master.

Chunying ran all the way to her room, but as soon as she came out of the front yard, she was stopped by Manru.

Manru smiled and beckoned her over, and then asked in a low voice, "Chun'er, do you want to go home and have a look?" Shall I give you a day off? ”。.。
