Chapter 59: Insults
Dong Changlin looked at Ping Yan, she raised her eyes slightly, and Shen Yuji was out of sight.
He bumped into her gaze and dodged, and the stars in his pupils seemed to shatter all at once, and he couldn't even shake his body uncontrollably.
"Don't mess around!" He reprimanded Lin Lixue.
"I'm not messing around, she's just a maid, since she has the ability to please others, it's my birthday today, don't sing me a play too much!" Lin Lixue glared at Ping Yan, and her eyes showed a tricky look.
Dong Changlin straightened up and blocked Ping Yan behind him, his tone was resolute and tough that he had never seen before, "Is Miss Lin too deceitful and too much, even if she is willing, I am not willing!" ”
was at a stalemate, and Dong Guosheng, who was sitting not far away, opened his mouth leisurely to relieve the siege, "Long coming, don't be rude." As the saying goes, courtesies are still exchanged, since Lin Dujun broke the money and asked us to have such a good time in the villa, we also have to return the gift. Isn't it just a girl, if Miss Lin likes it, I don't have any opinion if I take it for nothing. What's more, sing a song for everyone to listen to? ”
He picked up the teacup, took a sip calmly, and threw his eyes from afar, as sharp as a hook, like a fishing line with bait, hooked on Ping Yan, "I really didn't know that my son's girl would not only cure diseases, but also sing opera." ”
Until a moment, he looked at her from a distance, and unconsciously remembered the scene that he almost succeeded in the lockdown in his mind. In such a comparison, their figures and appearances seem to be really similar, except for their demeanor, Hua Dan is like a fox, one look seems to be able to confuse people's minds and kill a man, while this woman looks cold, but she is completely silent and cautious.
He was curious about what she looked like when she put on the costume.
Shen Yuchen's eyes wandered, locked on Dongxia's body, and took advantage of people's inattention, and gestured with his finger to Hua Kai. Dongxia frowned, suddenly realized, bowed slightly, and secretly retreated.
His voice softened, pinched Lin Lixue's face, and coaxed: "Lixue, don't mess around, good, I'll take you out to play, haven't you always wanted to go horseback riding?" ”
Lin Lixue's anger continued unabated, and she slapped Shen Yuchen's hand with a brutal attitude, but still didn't give up, "Today I just want to listen to her sing, and I won't go anywhere else." ”
She just hates this woman! is obviously a lowly servant, but she pretends to be pretentious, ice and jade, and obviously ignores men, but no matter where she goes, there will be men who will fight for her.
Changlin glanced at Dong Guosheng, who was watching the fire on the other side, and knew that at this time, he would definitely make him angry when he stood up for Ping Yanqiang, but he couldn't see her being insulted and despised by others, and she went to play a play, such a profession of teaching and being entertained.
"Miss Lin, I ask you not to be unreasonable!" Dong Changlin did not flinch.
"Okay, I'll pretend, I'll sing." Ping Yan walked out from behind Dong Changlin, her face was calm, and her eyes were as silent as dry bones. She glanced at Shen Dashao, who was drinking on one side and had nothing to do with herself, and then at Lin Lixue, who was waiting to see a good show, and there was no anger and sadness in her eyes that was slighted and played, and she slowly cast her eyes to Shen Yuji, fixedly, like a noble and cold, king who controlled everything, squinted her eyes without a trace, hooked her lips, and her smile was like a poppy blooming in the dark night, bewitching, and desolate.
Shen Yuji, Shen Yuji. You obviously know that as long as I play a costume today, Dong Guosheng will most likely think of Hua Dan on the stage of the lockdown that day, and his heart will rise again.
Why are you still like those hundred faces, with a face that protects yourself and turns a blind eye.
"Please have someone bring me the costume." Ping Yan said quietly.
Lin Lixue snorted coldly, waved her hand, and the girl behind her immediately took a tray, and on the tray was a delicately made robe. She stretched out her hand, gently picked up the costume, held it in her hand and looked at it for a moment, rubbing it, as if unintentionally, as soon as the knuckles were forced, the costume suddenly stabbed and opened.
She looked frightened, pretending to let out a low snort, but her eyes were slowly smiling, "I'm really sorry, I accidentally tore my clothes, but I can't find any suitable costumes now, why don't you just wear them." Saying that, he deliberately raised his voice, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes looked down on her body unkindly, and threw the clothes on her, "I believe that people like you have long been accustomed to wearing this kind of topless clothes, and they have long been accustomed to it. ”
Shen Yujian's hands were curled up under his sleeves, and the force he used was so great that he was bloodstained.
The more she continued to splash the dirty water like this, the more she would not resist and bear it, the more his heart hurt badly.
It was like suffering in a sea of swords and fires, but he couldn't react in any way.
"I don't know what play Miss Lin wants to hear?" She took the costume and held it quietly in her arms.
"Pick up what you're good at. In short, it would be nice for me, Brother Yuchen, and all the nobles present to listen to it. ”
"Okay." She replied meekly, really like a maid who was born to be drunk, unconditionally endured insults, and unconditionally pleased her master.
There is no resentment.
Ping Yan lifted her eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Yuji impartially. Her lips were slightly open, her eyebrows were like her, and the moonlight was as soft as satin and silver, soft as water, coating her all over her body, as if she was going to become a fairy at any time.
Shen Yuchen could see that what was covering her was not moonlight, it was thousands of feet of ice, thousands of feet of frost and snow, her sadness that she had nowhere to put it, and her heart that was shattered into mustard seeds.
She's really dead set on herself.
She turned to leave, and in an instant, Shen Yuchen was completely discouraged, almost instinctively, wanting to step forward and hold her hand. But he was blocked back halfway, and Lin Lixue firmly grabbed his arm and dragged him to death.
"Tao Yan!" Dong Changlin dragged her back, with a turbulent blood in his eyes, "I don't allow you to go!" ”
Suddenly, the shore of the lake in the distance flashed a little bit of fluttering light, like a precipitated and rippling star, and then it seemed like many stars fell down, changing into a variety of colors, one by one blooming in the waves.
The sparks are sparkling, and the silver flowers are floating in the water. attracted most of the female guests at the banquet table.
The inkstone wiped the hot sweat, trotted all the way over, his eyes rolled towards Dong Changlin's bones, and repeated according to what Dongxia taught him on the shore: "Young master, the things you told me have been done." ”
Dong Changlin was confused. Seeing that he turned to Lin Lixue again, he bowed respectfully to her, and explained, "What you saw just now are lotus water lanterns, which were specially prepared by the young master of my family for Miss Lin. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Lixue frowned and asked.
The inkstone was hunched over, and his mouth was very sharp, "That's right, a few days ago, Miss, you saw my young master filling the candle wick in the gazebo, and because of the krathong and the young master, there was some unpleasantness. At that time, it was my young master who drilled the tip of the bull's horn, and after I went back, I regretted it, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to make amends to you, Miss. Today, in order to bless you and Second Young Master Shen as a good couple, and to thank Lin Dujun for his care and hospitality in the courtyard these days, I specially ordered me to light 800 lotus water lanterns as a gift to express my wishes. “
Although Dong Changlin wondered where he learned the good and obedient words of the inkstone, he also understood the key to it, so he clenched Ping Yan's hand and went down, "Presumably such a gift is much more interesting than listening to a boring show." I prepared it carefully, and the lamp was made for several nights overnight, so Miss Lin forgot about the unpleasantness that happened in the gazebo that day, and went to the lake to have a look, and to have a play, and not to disappoint me for staying up for these few nights. ”
"Let's go, let's go, you see that the young ladies and ladies on this scene have all gone to the shore, do you still want to sit with these mighty generals and listen to the play?" Shen Yuchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Lixue stomped her feet a few times, turned around and looked at the field, there were really only a few people, and Dong Changlin said sincerely, the words had already been said to this, if she insisted on making trouble unreasonably and holding on to that maid, it would be too much to make people feel small-bellied, let alone be scolded by her father.
And her purpose has been accomplished. Anyway, that woman had already swept away her face in front of Shen Yuchen.
"Okay, okay. For the sake of your sincere apology, I won't be angry with you. She glanced at Dong Changlin, and held Shen Yuchen's hand with some excitement, and the little bird begged: "Brother Yuchen, let's go and see it too." ”
"Hmm." Shen Yuchen nodded, glanced at Ping Yan, and was pulled away by Lin Lixue.
Dong Changlin turned his mind, hurriedly let go of Ping Yan's hand, his face was slightly red, seeing that she didn't react, he seemed to be frightened, and he hesitantly raised his hand and held her hand tightly.
"Shall we go and see? In fact, I made those krathongs for you, but it can be regarded as the best use of today's siege, if you like it, I will make it for you in the future. ”
Eight hundred, eight years apart, year after year, he could only pin his heavy thoughts on the Krathong and let them carry her to the place where she was.
Ping Yan lowered her eyes and saw that her hand was curled up, and she was held in Dong Changlin's hand, looking weak and helpless. She didn't shake it off, didn't refuse, only raised a bright and smiling face, and nodded obediently, "I want to go and see, I've never seen such a beautiful lake." ”
