Chapter VII: Clarification
I didn't want the necklace to fly out of the door, but the maid pushed the door in. The little maid stepped in first, and had already seen a very weighty unknown object, a dodge, diamond-shaped diamond impartially smashed on Yuan Anqi's calf bone.
Yuan Anqi could not have been smashed like this, and the severe pain hit, she said "ouch", bent over and covered her calf Xuexue and exhaled in pain. Seeing this, the maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help, Dong Huan was also surprised, and just wanted to step forward to help, but when she thought of Liang Mosheng, she regretted that she didn't smash this girl to death like this.
But such a thought also flashed, and she had to rely on this girl to save her life. Dong Yu asked people to get the medicine, and waited for the maid to mix Yuan Anqi on the soft chair and sit down, and personally stepped forward to check the wound.
Fortunately, it was just a broken skin, nothing serious, the maid brought the medicine, and Dong Yu sat on the velvet sofa as if he were dead.
Dong Yu saw that she was wearing an ordinary white sheer gauze short gown today, Xiangyun gauze trousers, revealing snow-white arms and slender ankles, a pair of light cyan stockings and a pair of light cyan shoes on her feet, two well-behaved black braids hanging down on her chest, and the curling elegance seemed to float down from the lotus pond in the backyard.
She couldn't put into words how she felt about her niece at the moment. At first, when she saw through Liang Mosheng's thoughts, she hated this little girl so much that her silver teeth itched, why did she do nothing, wearing white clothes and pants, combing two wool braids, and immediately hooked her lover's soul, just because she was beautiful? Young? My Bailiu grandmother was also young back then, and she didn't have this stinky girl when she was in the limelight.
But after the wind blew on the train all night, she calmed down a lot. His original purpose was not to be good with Liang Mosheng, since he couldn't catch someone, he had to hold on to the money. She Dong Yun must not be empty of people and money, not to mention that now Commander Yan is threatening her with his life!
He Liang Mosheng fell in love with this little girl, so he simply sent him to play, as long as the arms were brought back, anyway, Yuan Anqi would have to do these things for her sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Yun asked the maid to pick up the diamond necklace as well, she took the necklace and leaned to the edge of the sofa, and flipped the diamond against a lotus leaf covered green table lamp in her hand, and the light of the diamond pierced Yuan Anqi's eyes.
She sat next to her inexplicably, her calf was still aching for a while, giving her a fine sweat, and at a glance, a square red mark was smashed on her snow-white leg, and the side was a broken white skin.
When the maid brought the medicinal wine, Dong Yu thought that the smell of the medicinal wine was pungent and unpleasant, and when the bottle was opened, the room would inevitably be smoked with a choking smell, so he asked the maid holding the medicinal wine to put the bottle down first. Getting up again, Dong Yun approached Yuan Anqi with an arrow step, and stuffed the necklace into her arms tragically and angrily, without waiting for Yuan Anqi to react, she turned back to the sofa and sat down, leaning on the satin embroidered pillow on the velvet sofa, panting briefly.
"This chain is yours!" Dong Yun threw down such a sentence and fell silent. Her mind was muddy and muddy, and she was lucky enough to smoke an endless cigar.
Yuan Anqi stared at Dong Yun in astonishment for a long time, the cold and hard stone rested in her arms, and the thin clothes were attached to her thighs, pressing her nerves, waiting for the announcement of the trial, and finally waited for Dong Yun to open the golden mouth to himself and said: "An Qi, do you know how many years a chain is enough for you to read?" β
Yuan Anqi couldn't guess what her aunt was going to do before, but when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's enough for me to read for many years." β
Seeing that Dong Yun didn't answer himself, he lit a cigarette there by himself, and then added: "But I'm reading, and there's no place for me to wear such a valuable chain, so it's better for my aunt to take it back and wear it herself." β
After speaking, he got up and was about to bring the necklace to Dong Huan, but Dong Huan gestured to sit down. She sat back hesitantly, and listened quietly to what her aunt had to say to her.
"I listen to your accent, and I have completely changed it after coming to Peking for so many years, which is very good. I don't know what the grades are like in school? Is English good? How does the piano play? Dong Yu suddenly made a caring gesture that an elder should have, but there was no trace of love in his tone, more like choosing a pet in the pet market, asking the boss which one is stronger and which one is more lively.
"Thanks to my aunt, my grades will be passable, I can barely say a sentence or two in English, my aunt in the piano has people carry me downstairs, and I practice every day, but on the one hand, I really don't have that talent......"
Dong Yun felt satisfied just by listening to this crisp and gentle voice, in fact, as long as a girl is innocent and has a handsome face, everything else is just the icing on the cake. "You've been here for two years, how do you treat you as your aunt?"
"My aunt treats me like a new parent, for me to eat, wear, and study......" Yuan Anqi lowered her eyebrows and eyes, trying her best to put on a respectful and filial posture. People are under the eaves, and they don't bow their heads. These were the only words she could think of at the moment.
"It's like having another parent." Dong Yun recalled it in her heart, and felt that it was very useful, and none of the girls who defected to her said that they were their reborn parents.
From the jinghai cloth skirt to the brocade clothes, from the broken houses to the Western-style western-style buildings, there are also those who have read a little bit and are proud of themselves in front of her, all of them have been trained by her to be obedient. Of course, she wouldn't directly whip her body with a sharp whip, she would only remind them first that they all came to her voluntarily, and her Bai Sixth Grandmother had never been upset.
"You just said that there is no occasion to wear this diamond chain, so how about Aunt provide you with some space?" Yuan Anqi's brain began to "buzz", she was still young before, and when she saw that those young girls who went in and out of the White Mansion only had simple envy, and when she grew up, she didn't understand what her aunt was doing with them.
"Do you want to continue your studies?" Dong Yun saw that Yuan Anqi was stupid and didn't answer, afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he simply went straight to the point. Whether you are willing or not, throw out of Baifu to find a rough match, or obediently listen to her, this little girl has no other choice.
"An Qi listens to her aunt. Aunt said to study, An Qi continued to read, Aunt asked An Qi to serve, and An Qi also served her aunt as her own mother.
Yuan Anqi's small body trembled a little at the moment. She remembers that when she first came, a little girl who took care of her, quite colorful, was kicked by her aunt to a lame man who swept the floor in the house because she hooked up with someone she shouldn't have hooked up with, and she never saw her again.
Yuan Anqi didn't want to marry his uncle's dirty son, let alone marry a dirty cripple, she only understood now that although she had different food and clothing than a maid, she was inferior to a maid in essence. Because she also relies on her aunt to support her, the maid is still doing things for her aunt, but she is pampered in a safe corner.
I suddenly remembered some of my own naΓ―ve thoughts before, such as liking Liang Molian, such as a rich lady who really treats herself as a father and a mother, and a noble child who is the right person to play romance. She was so confused that she almost forgot her origin, Yuan Anqi was extremely ashamed at this time, and two red clouds rose on her fair cheeks.
"Forget it, you're still young, so keep reading, but in my spare time, I might take you around for a walk." Dong Yun listened to Yuan Anqi's submissive tone at this moment, and knew that she should have understood a little in her heart, so she simply asked again: "Do you have a night dress over there?" β
"Just some homely clothes." Yuan Anqi replied.
Dong Yun looked at her childish little face with cold eyes, and there were two faint blushes on her cheeks that were unique to girls, and her eyebrows were picturesque, she was really a good appearance of delicate aura.
She was annoyed. Originally, this girl should have been raised for another two years, firstly, to be more familiar with herself, and secondly, to be more mature and charming when the time comes, who knows that Liang Mosheng fell in love with that bastard, but she asked her again. Dong Yu didn't see the quality of this deck of cards at the beginning, but his life is still in the hands of others.
"Okay, you go back to rest, I'll find someone to help you buy the clothes, I'll ask for a leave from school tomorrow, I'll take you to make some clothes and jewelry." Dong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the maid came up to help Yuan Anqi back to the bedroom, and was busy giving her medicine.
Yuan Anqi sat back on the soft chair in her room, and the diamond chain was now packed into a rectangular purple velvet box, but she saw it more like Pandora's box, ready to devour her cardamom years.
She tossed and turned in bed all night in a daze, not right here, not good there. I remember that when I first came to Peking a few years ago, when I first entered the school, I didn't understand anything, I didn't know anything, I talked to people like gnats during the day, and I was afraid that others would laugh at me because of my foreign accent, so I pulled Bai Shuming when I came back from school, she played with him, and he taught her Beiping dialect word by word.
At that time, she could still change, but from tomorrow, no matter what the process is, if she follows her aunt in and out of the land of wind and moon, restaurants, and dance halls, what should her classmates think of her?
I don't know if I will envy her aunt for taking her out to socialize herself, but the older ones know the reason? She had heard some female classmates call a girl's sister a saltwater sister behind her back, saying that her family was from an average family, but her sister spent a lot of money outside all day, and accidentally overheard the adults call her so, and told them not to deal with that female classmate again.
"If that's the case, then I might as well leave school at that." Yuan Anqi turned over with this thought, but the thought changed again: "No, at least the book is reading, and there won't be so much time to be pulled out by ...... aunt" Only then did she realize that she was still eager to be a deep lady and continue to ignore the world.
