The second young master got closer and closer, and Chun Ying's mind was racing, and she carefully stepped on the grass and took a few steps back, hiding her entire body behind the bushes. Seeing him walk by the path in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief, planning to wait for his figure to disappear and leave quickly.

It's just that she is also a little curious, looking at the direction where the second young master came from, and the books he is holding in his hand, is he here to ask Zhou Nian for teaching?! Is it going to rain red? The second young master not only apologized to Zhou Nian, but also went to him as a guest?! It's amazing!

A slight exclamation reached her ears, and she paused, turning her head to look in the direction from which the sound had come through the foliage, and vaguely saw two figures dangling in front of her. Then came the second young master's laughter: "Yo...... Who is it, it seems that you and I are really destined? You can't be waiting for me here, right? Hey, don't go! I'm not going to eat you again, what are you running?! ”

The sound of tearing silk came, Chunying's heart jumped, and she guessed that the person who was following her must have been discovered by the second young master, and it sounded like a girl? What is the second young master going to do? You don't want to be indecent to others, do you?! She couldn't help but take a step forward, and then heard a female voice say angrily: "Second Young Master, be respectful!" If you dare to mess around, I'll tell my wife to go! ”

Chunying frowned, she recognized this voice, it was clearly Manru. What is Manru doing after her?

The second young master sank his face, and his hand was loosened. Ru took the opportunity to run, the former stood in place, and after a long while, he sneered and walked in the direction of the garden gate.

Chunying gently walked out from behind the bushes, gritted her teeth, and continued to walk towards her destination.

Sanqing sat not far from the front of the house and took . Wearing a dress in the sewing. Chun Ying walked over sluggishly, looked at the white clothes in his hand, and said dryly: "Sanqing...... Are you really capable, you can even do needlework? "And it looks like she's even better than she is, which makes her very hard.

Sanqing touched his head and grinned: "It's made outside, it's broken, make up for it." ”

Chunying quickly regained her confidence: "Really? I see. "It's okay, it's finding. Others did it, Sanqing just sewed the broken place, take a closer look, and sure enough, the sewing is quite rough, but it is a middle coat, worn inside, and others can't see it. He's a big man who knows how to do needlework, which is already remarkable.

Chunying praised a few words before she walked into the house and saw Zhou Nian facing the table. The stack of paper on the paper frowned, and he smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Brother Nian, the third young master asked me to ask you, I borrowed your "Futian Collection" in the past, and he just wanted to take a look at it today, I don't know if it is convenient to return it to him?" ”

Zhou Nian raised his head and smiled when he heard this: "I haven't read the poems for a few days, so if he wants to, he will take it back, in the box inside." Then he sighed at the stack of papers.

Chunying from the box. I flipped out the book I wanted, and when I looked back and saw him with a sad face, I asked curiously, "What are you bothering about?" "Glancing at the top piece of paper, it seems to be an article.

Zhou Nian sighed: "Brother Chang'er came here and took a few articles to show me. ”

"I know, I saw him on the way here." Chunying pursed her lips and smiled, "This reminds me of an allusion, what does the book say?" When did Meng Guang take over the Liang Hong case? Last time, he was just barely coping. ”

Zhou Nian smiled dumbly: "How did Meng Guang take Liang Hong's case?" Naturally, Liang Hong is respected. But you used this allusion well, when did you have such growth? I also said that you like to listen to me tell allusions, just as a listening story. ”

Chun Ying blinked and got back to the point: "What is the second young master doing with the article?" ”

He said...... I don't have a strict teacher's teaching, I don't know the scriptures and history, I can't compose, even if my family is rehabilitated in the future, there is no good future, so Tete brought me a few of his recent exercises, so that I can be so angry, I practice my hands as usual on weekdays, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can also prepare early. ”

Chunying was very surprised: "Is he so kind?" ”

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly: "He has been here a few times recently, and two times he came with Hou Ye, and Hou Ye was very happy to see that he and I got along well." I can't disappoint Master Hou. After a pause, he sighed into the stack of words: "But...... Although I didn't have the teachings of the Master, when I was a child at home, I also read the four books and saw a few eight-strand model texts. I wanted to remind him, but I was afraid that he would be angry, but I didn't tell him, and I was sorry for Master Hou, so I was very annoyed. ”

Chunying smiled: "What's there to worry about?" Doesn't the second young master have a teacher? Wouldn't his teacher remind him? If he can't do it himself, what does it have to do with you? Besides, you don't have a teacher to teach you, and he does, even if you kindly remind him, he won't believe it, and maybe he will think that you are deliberately belittling him! ”

Zhou Nian was dumbfounded and sighed: "Okay, the next time I see Hou Ye, I will show him these articles, and I will mention a few words from the side, with Hou Ye's vision, I naturally know the shortcomings." He slipped the stack of papers into his book and placed it on the side of his desk.

Chunying was a little unimpressed, Hou Ye might have known his son's composition level for a long time, where did he want him to be troublesome? However, she knew in her heart that Zhou Nian had great respect for Hou Ye, and when she said this, he couldn't listen to it, so she didn't say much.

She looked at Sanqing outside the window and said with a smile: "I think Sanqing is really getting more and more capable, and he can actually do needlework!" He's mending your clothes, isn't he? In fact, the two of you have torn clothes, you can tell me that although I am not good at embroidery, I still do it by sewing and mending. The one that Sanqing mends seems to be very old, wait until I go back and tell Sister Mei Xiang, ask for a few pieces of material to help you make a few new ones, right? She had practiced her skills at home and was quite confident in her craft.

Zhou Nian stammered a little: "But that...... It's close-fitting clothes, which—that's not convenient, right? His cheeks were a little red. Since he lived in the Hou Mansion, the clothes he wore all over his body were made by the chief manager Wang outside the mansion and looking for someone to do it, and his craftsmanship was passable, but when he needed to sew and repair, he could only rely on Sanqing. The latter is now sewing his middle shirt, and I remember a pair of middle pants. Thinking that these close-fitting clothes would be transferred to Chunying's hands, he felt very uncomfortable.

Chunying was very surprised when she heard his words, but immediately reacted: "Are you saying that it is inconvenient for me to sew your close-fitting clothes?" But...... Did I do your laundry too? Although it wasn't underwear, she honestly didn't think it was any different at all, and the ancient men's underwear didn't trigger her shame in the slightest, it was just like ordinary clothes. She thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "The third young master's underwear is also made by the maids, so he won't feel inconvenient." What's inconvenient for you, Brother Nian? ”

Zhou Nian blushed at the root of his ears, and replied calmly on the surface: "No, then it's tiring, you just do it according to the size of the old clothes." As he spoke, he took a book and flipped through it.

Chun Ying looked at the cover of the book he took down with a strange face, couldn't hold back a smile and went to find the old clothes, and then talked about it, saying some gossip, such as seeing the second young master on the way here, and couldn't help but remind: "I think he is simply easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, Brother Nian, don't really believe him, don't tell him if there is anything important, who knows if he will sell you?" ”

Zhou Nian responded, and thoughtfully: "You just said that the girl who is on an errand with you is ...... Stalking you? ”

Chun Ying hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I think she must be following me." The road was very remote, and few people usually passed it except for the people who cleaned the shores of the lake every ten years. It's okay, how could she follow me? And she dodged away, as if she didn't want me to find her. She thought about Manru's recent actions, bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "I think she is very strange, she looks very gentle and kind, and she will pull me up if she has any good things, but there are always people who say that she is not a good person, saying that she loves to calculate people behind her back." I didn't believe it before, but looking back now, it seems that something really wasn't right. If she really harmed people, it would be terrible, and hateful! There is no great benefit, how can you be guilty of such a ......?"

According to rumors, whether it is Juxiang Zhuxiang or Qing'er, their departure has not brought special benefits to Manru, at most, they have been promoted to the second-class girl, and they have gained dignity in front of the third young master. The promotion can be increased by monthly money, but it is only a few more dollars of silver per month, she really can't believe that Manru will calculate others behind her back for such a small amount of money, and even do not hesitate to make trouble. And this time, what benefits can Manru get by following her?

Zhou Nian groaned: "Maybe she has her own reasons, if she really takes care of you, don't be suspicious of her because of a few words from others." ”

Chunying nodded: "I understand, so I've always gotten along with her." He hesitated, "Actually...... I guess what she wants in her heart, doesn't she just want to climb up, want to be an aunt? Huanhuaxuan's girls, many of them have this idea. Although I can't agree with them in my heart, I won't look down on them. I was just...... I just can't accept that someone is killing someone for a trivial reason. Manru ...... Some people say that she has hurt people...... "Thinking of Qing'er's blue-gray feet, her chest is stuffy.

Zhou Nian's eyes flashed, and he asked softly, "You...... You don't agree with them? Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever heard you say, what are your plans for the future? Brother You has already mentioned to me that when I recover my identity in the future, I will transfer all your family members to me. You know I haven't treated you like an ordinary little girl, tell me, what do you want to do? Being a housekeeper? ”

Chun Ying smiled at him, pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Zhou Nian chuckled: "Tell me, can you?" What is there to scruple about in front of me? What if I don't like it? You just let me know that I won't make jokes in the future. ”

Chunying bit her lip, still hesitating: "Do you really want to say it?" Then you are not allowed to tell anyone. In fact, she still trusts Zhou Nian very much.

"I don't tell anyone."

"Don't even say anything about the Third Young Master?"

Zhou Nian smiled: "Okay, I won't tell him, no one will tell me, I know alone." ”

Chun Ying looked back at Sanqing outside the door, leaned over to Zhou Nian's side, and lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I want to ...... If only I had the chance, I could get my whole family out of citizenship. We have become ordinary people, we can do a little business, we don't have to be angry with our masters, and we don't have to be beaten and scolded at every turn......" She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Nian's face: "You won't say it, will you?" ”

Zhou Nian only felt that his ears were a little hot, and a wave of guilt welled up in his heart, and he finally suppressed it, and nodded solemnly to Chunying: "I won't say it." This...... That's a great ambition. ”

Chunying smiled a little embarrassedly: "Don't laugh at me, I know that many people think that staying in the Hou Mansion will make life more comfortable, but I'm ...... I don't want others to decide my future, what I want to do in the future, how much money I make, and who I marry...... It's all my own business, so why should I let the host decide? I was also afraid of being beaten, and even more afraid that my master's family would be angry and sell me to an unknown place...... It was a terrible feeling! ”

"I'm not going to sell you." Zhou Nian said softly, admiring Chun Ying for the first time in his heart.

Chun Ying smiled sweetly at him: "I know you won't." Of course I can trust you. After a pause, he whispered, "Brother Nian...... Shall I discuss it with you? If I really become your girl in the future, you ...... Can you just set us free? We can continue to work for you, my father and mother are honest people, and they will not do bad things behind your back! ”

Zhou Nian smiled and nodded, Chunying was overjoyed, hugged his arm and said, "Thank you, you are such a good person!" Suddenly remembering that this action was not appropriate in ancient times, the other party was an adult man after all, she blushed and let go of her hand embarrassedly.

Zhou Nian's face was also a little red, but he felt soft in his heart. Chunying's wish is really not an easy task, but he really hopes that he can give her a little help, which will make him feel that this world will become brighter in an instant.
