Chapter 31: Dong Shengye's Troubles
Fanfang Pavilion, the ornaments here are different from other gardens, but more ingenious and novel, very in line with the child's heart of Jingzhi residence.
"You've been playing all day long, but do you know that your sister has gained a lot of benefits?" A woman in brown coarse cloth said to Jing Zhi with hatred.
Jing Zhi stared at the grape-like round eyes and half-lay on the table, with a few plums in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Nurse, what do you say?" Sister, what's wrong with her? ”
Cheng Gui hated to scold, but because Jingzhi was a young lady, it was not easy to do too much, so he had to say patiently: "The master invited the eldest lady to teach the old master of Hucheng Dong, this is a big thing that pokes a hole in the sky." ”
"Didn't you just invite an old gentleman, nurse, why are you making such a fuss?" Jing Zhi took advantage of Cheng Gui's lack of notice of his small movements, and took out two plums from the ink-colored cup on the table.
was about to stuff it into his mouth, but Cheng Gui reacted, knocked it off, and said angrily: "Still eating, still eating, today even your aunt said that this move was inappropriate, but the master had to ask Old Master Dong to teach your sister with all his heart." ”
Jing Zhi looked at the plum that was beaten on the table, and wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, so she had to say with a bitter face: "That's not a good thing, my sister can learn to learn books and etiquette, I have to be happy for her." ”
"Master, this is favoritism." Cheng Gui gave a definition.
"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, it's good if I have virtue, the nurse will bring me two plates of osmanthus cakes in the dining room, I haven't eaten enough at noon."
Jing Zhi touched her shriveled stomach and looked at Cheng Gui bitterly.
Cheng Gui didn't get angry, shook his head and said, "To be honest, what is the difference between your Aunt Fang and the lady of this Jingfu?" In the future, it is not a matter of the master's words. Although you and the eldest lady are concubines, all the cases are prepared according to the concubines, and they should enjoy the same treatment. ”
"Haven't I yet gotten married? My sister is about to get married, and my father should be in a hurry to find her husband. ”
Cheng Gui looked at Jingzhi's appearance, and knew that no matter how much he talked to her, he would play the piano to the cow, sighed heavily, and went out.
Cheng Gui and Cheng Ying were originally sisters, just because Cheng Gui's mother was in the second room, and her sister Cheng Ying was from the main house, so even if she was older than Cheng Ying, all the benefits were taken up by Cheng Ying.
Even if she later entered Jingfu to do things, Cheng Ying pressed her everywhere, and even became the steward of Jingfu's inner mansion. And she almost couldn't gain a foothold in Jingfu, if it weren't for the fact that she was not good at giving birth to Jingzhi when the Fang family gave birth to Jingzhi, she would have been squeezed out of Jingzhi by Cheng Ying.
She also admitted it, but as soon as she heard that Master Jing had found a teacher for Jing Mi, her unwilling heart came alive again. Thinking of his own situation, he felt that this Jingzhi was very much like himself at that time, and he was pressed by Jingmi everywhere.
Jing Zhi is still young, she doesn't understand the stakes in this, and she doesn't know how to fight for herself, if she doesn't fight for Jing Zhi, all the benefits will be taken by Jing Mi, wouldn't it be too unfair.
Cheng Gui thought about it and decided to go to Lotus Heart House. She couldn't think of a good idea for the time being, so she could only use Miss Biao's hand to mess with Jing Mi's heart first.
Mr. Dong Shengye came to teach in person, there is such a good thing, Jing Mi doesn't want her sister to listen to the master's lecture together, but let a rough girl be a companion, since Jing Mi values the girl named Nan Mo so much, she will teach her not to be satisfied.
…………
Dong Shengye has been high all his life, but he received some favors from Master Jing back then, so he responded to his lecture to Miss Jing. Besides, Master Jing has only been set for three months, and the time is not long, strictly speaking, Miss Jing cannot be counted as his own disciple.
Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king. Even though it was freezing and it was still the New Year's Day, Dong Shengye still set off early in the morning on the second day.
As a result, Master Jing didn't return overnight, so he sent Liu Cheng to pick him up, entered the mansion, and walked to Xuanqing Hall, which specializes in teaching, and there was still a while to go.
Halfway to the front, in the pavilion, there was a woman in snow-colored clothes, a weak willow with the same color, her skin was snowy, and the hibiscus hairpin was rolled up with green silk, hanging a few wisps, which was even more delicate.
Dong Shengye nodded secretly, women should be like this, what do you want so much knowledge?
To be honest, he was reluctant to teach Jing Mi, and always felt that it would damage his reputation. I also think that this old man is strange, and he doesn't ask the eldest young master in the house to teach him, but he thinks highly of the young lady who is out of the house.
Yao Xue saw an old gentleman in a gray cotton robe coming over, and knew that this was the only road leading to Xuanqing Hall, and there was Liu Cheng and Liu Steward leading the way, and the person who came must be Old Master Dong.
So he gave Qiu Tao a look behind him, Qiu Tao walked up quickly, whispered a few words to Liu Cheng, and took out some money and silver to stuff him.
Knowing that this was Yao Xue wanting to say a few words to Mr. Dong alone, he avoided it.
Liu Cheng secretly said in his heart, who should he send with just this little money? But his face remained silent, and he accepted the money. The young lady had repeatedly sought a way out for herself, and she had an idea, and he didn't want to offend the woman, so he retreated to the rockery behind him.
Yao Xue saw that Liu Cheng was interested, so she no longer had any scruples, and bowed to the gray-haired Dong Shengye Yingying.
Dong Shengye didn't know who this woman was, why she gave him such a big gift, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and he felt even more strange when he saw Steward Liu, who took him to Xuanqing Hall, retreat not far away.
"Xue'er has seen Mr. Dong, and it is rumored that the master's knowledge is prosperous, and Xue'er also admires it, and she came here to wait today, but she just wants to be worthless for Mr."
Dong Shengye didn't want to have more dealings with women, his face was pale at the moment, and he didn't know what to say.
Yao Xue's expression was soft, and she said in a low voice: "The master invited Mr. to come for the eldest lady, I thought that I would let the second lady in the house listen to the teacher's teachings together, but the accompanying girl was actually the girl handpicked by the eldest lady." ”
Seeing that Dong Shengye was dissatisfied with the girl's accompaniment, Yao Xue suppressed the pride in her heart and continued: "That country girl, her identity is really low, but she is very happy. I don't know if Mr. Sun Dewei knows? ”
Dong Shengye pretended to ignore Yao Xue's question, "How can you not know about old decay?" It is Dr. Sun, who is known as the 'Wonderful Hand Doctor' in Hucheng. ”
"That's good", Yao Xue nodded, "The eldest lady's hand-picked companion is the worthless girl who once criticized Dr. Sun Dewei, and it is said that she has excellent medical skills, I don't know how many times stronger than Dr. Sun." ”
"You girl, don't talk nonsense. Doctor Sun is a recognized miracle doctor in Hucheng, can he compare to a girl who has not dried up? Dong Shengye was a little angry, he couldn't figure out the intention of the girl who blocked his way.
Yao Xue leaned over and bowed again, "It's not that Xue'er is rude, it's that girl Nanmo said it herself." Some time ago, the old lady drank Dr. Sun's medicine to cure her acute illness, but Nan Mo insisted that she cured the old lady. Dr. Sun is a doctor who has a great deal of success, and he doesn't care about the little girl, the old man's filial piety is not good and the old lady is too much to argue, so he let Nanmo's girl get the credit, but let Dr. Sun go out of the house in a gray manner, you say it's not angry? ”
Of course it's infuriating! Dong Shengye is also straight, and after listening to this girl's story, he was even more upset for Sun Dewei. But with his status, it's not good for him to say anything to a girl.
Seeing this, Yao Xue didn't force it, leaned over and bowed again, and left with Qiu Tao.
Liu Cheng saw that Yao Xue was gone, so he stepped forward again and took Mr. Dong to Xuanqing Hall.
Yao Xue's words, Old Master Dong has already determined that the girl named Nan Mo is a person who sells her reputation and reputation.
If it weren't for the grace of this Jingfu, it was already his bottom line to teach a big lady, but now he has to teach a girl, this is not the son of an ordinary family, and he still wants to take a child?
Dong Shengye was also quite dissatisfied with that Jing Mi and Miss Jing's style of acting.
Nan Mo and Jing Mi made an agreement that she could be her companion, but she still lived in Xiyuan first. Aunt Hou and Aunt Chang took good care of her, and Aunt Hou was about to give birth, so she couldn't do such an ungrateful thing.
When Aunt Hou gave birth to a child, she moved to Sufang Pavilion. Hearing her words, Jing Mi was quite satisfied, her good impression of Nan Mo deepened, she was a girl who valued love and righteousness.
Nan Mo gave Aunt Hou a kiss and got Hou's consent.
Therefore, on the second day, she got up, wanting to go to the Xuanqing Hall early, at least to make a good impression on the master.
Who knows, someone intercepted his beard on the road.
Su Xin tied his head with a bun, rubbed his eyes sleepily, and waited at the door of Xiyuan.
Seeing Nan Mo grinning, "Hey, Nan Mo, my young master is looking for you." ”
Nan Mo was stunned, Jing Mohuai was looking for her? Glancing at Su Xin, Nan Mo saw that he looked cute, so he reached up and pinched his face, Su Xin suddenly fell asleep, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but retreat in horror.
The immature voice shouted loudly, "Hey, men and women don't kiss anything." ”
"Men and women don't kiss." Nan Mo felt funny, half a head taller than him, so he condescendingly and kindly filled in the sentence for him.
Su Xin nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, men and women don't kiss, don't pinch my face." ”
Why is it so cute? Under Jing Mohuai's gentle and harmless appearance, he didn't know what kind of evil heart was hidden. But he, a child, is incredibly simple-minded.
Seeing his expression like a jackal, tiger and leopard, Nan Mo laughed, "You go back and tell your young master, saying that men and women are not close to each other, and I still have something to do, so I won't bother." ”
Su Xin opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. There has never been a woman who will refuse his young master, and the worst thing is that this bold girl not only pinched his face, but also laughed at him with words that he was not proficient.
"No, no, you have to follow me to Jie Zixuan." Su Xin was blocked in front of Nan Mo, and if she didn't go to Zhezixuan, she wouldn't want to go anywhere.
So Nan Mo felt the taste, Jing Mohuai didn't send an honest and steady Ersheng over, but let Su Xin, the little guy, come over, didn't he just make up his mind that he wouldn't refuse this Su Xin? What's more, he saved himself a few days ago.
Nan Mo sighed heavily, and added another "black belly" to Jing Mohuai in his heart.
In the excerpt of Zixuan, it should be because of the morning, the man in Nanmu's wheelchair has uncurled black hair, scattered on his back, and his black and white eyes reflect the glimmer of the morning light, which is very beautiful.
His phoenix eyes were slightly constricted, his slender eyeliner was graceful, and his thin lips were lightly opened, as if he deliberately said it to her, "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, even if I don't go, Zining will not be silent?" ”
Nan Mo didn't know how to put his hands and feet, Jing Mohuai's beautiful phoenix eyes were a little misty, it seemed that no matter what request he made, people couldn't refuse.
It's a pity that the next moment, Nan Mo raised his head and smirked, "Young Master, you have seen it, I still have to go to Xuanqing Hall, it's not good if the master is late and angry." ”
Nan Mo was inexplicably afraid of this eldest young master, as if he stayed with him for a few more moments, he would be skinned and dismantled, and there would be no scum left.
She was really afraid that the next moment, he would say the words "not seen for a day, like March".
Jing Mohuai smiled slightly, but his face was calm, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”
Nan Mo raised his eyebrows, bet?
The man's tall and thin nose bridge is even more delicate, "If you lose, you will do something for me, and vice versa." ”
"Bet on what?" Nan Mo asked rhetorically.
Jing Mohuai came prepared, if she shouldn't now, I don't know if there are other tricks waiting for her.
Jing Mohuai flexed his index finger and tapped the bamboo chessboard on the small table next to him.
Nan Mo stubbornly took a low stool for himself from the side, raised his eyes, but was caught off guard by the inquiring look of Shangjing Mohuai.
She suddenly paused, feeling that she was really careless, as a lowly girl, she actually knew chess, and made a gesture to play against him.
But what had already been done, Jing Mohuai didn't say much except for that inquiring glance.
Nan Mo sometimes feels that her secret is almost impossible to hide in the eyes of this person. Now, even if she says that she won't, it will arouse Jing Mohuai's suspicions, so it is better to let go of the next game.
Nan Mo hasn't touched chess for a long time, and the two camps of black and white are bloodless and bloodless.
She thought of her grandfather, thinking that the thin hand holding the chess piece overlapped, staggered, and overlapped with the beautiful and unusual hand in front of her.
Nan Mo was in a trance, but it was only a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he patiently threw himself into the chess game.
Then, play three games, and lose all three.
Nan Mo suddenly pressed Jing Mohuai's hand that wanted to take the chess, and the cold touch of the man's knuckles made her face stunned, and then said with a normal expression: "Forget it, young master, I admit defeat, I can't admit defeat?"
She remembered that Jing Mi said that she had never won a game with Jing Mohuai, and sometimes Ren Jing Mi's quiet temperament couldn't help but be annoyed, and she had a lot of desire to win.
Jing Mohuai also deliberately let her, as the saying goes, if you are not careful in the chess game, you may lose the whole game.
Not to mention that it is deliberately made people, the concessions of every step of the move may become a failure.
But Jing Mohuai can achieve a draw, once or twice, which can be said to be a fluke, but eleven consecutive draws are enough for Jing Mi to realize that Jing Mohuai's chess skills are far better than her.
That's why there is room for her step by step, giving her hope, and suppressing step by step, so that she can't win a big victory.
She thought that she had those experiences in her previous life, and her grandfather was also a good player in the chess game, and she played against her grandfather, both losing and winning, and it stands to reason that she would not lose so badly.
But that's what happened.
Jing Mohuai smiled lowly and shallowly, and the corners of his lips outlined a few arcs, like the cold moonlight, the smudged moonlight, and the ancient lotus blooming, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Nan Mo lost his mind for a while, and came back to his senses and secretly said that she was a beauty. I can't help but be curious when I think of things that have been haunting me.
"Last time, Mrs. Zhao Hui in the dining room came to Lianxinju inexplicably, did you do it, young master?"
Jing Mohuai remained calm, raising his eyes to look at her, "It's just a matchmaking for others, and it has become a good marriage." ”
Nan Mo was choked and had nothing to say. Good...... A good marriage? Hmm, a bitter old woman with a shameless scumbag is indeed quite suitable.
"On the Shangyuan Festival, the fireworks in Hucheng are prosperous, and you want to invite beautiful women to travel together, are you willing?" His voice was slightly different from Fang Cai, and Nan Mo felt that his voice was like a sweet brew brewed in a deep cellar, intending to intoxicate people.
Losing and losing, he still behaved like this, and asked her if she was willing, Nan Mo turned his head, "I'll just go." ”
Oh no, how long has it been since this Nan Mo wanted to cry without tears, glanced at Jing Mohuai fiercely, and ran towards the outside of Zhezixuan.
Xuanqing Hall, Jing Mi and Old Master Dong were there, Yuan'er was standing aside, and when she saw Nan Mo coming in, Yuan'er secretly screamed that it was not good.
Sure enough, Dong Shengye was already quite dissatisfied with Nan Mo, and thought in his heart that he was a person who sold his reputation and reputation, and his face turned cold, "A girl who accompanies the student is also late, this is obviously looking down on the old knowledge, even so, you just don't listen to it, and stand outside." ”
Jing Mi was a little embarrassed, and she didn't understand why this old master Dong was so strict with Nanmo.
Nan Mo's slender figure stood at the door, not distinguishing with him as Dong Shengye imagined, but bowing his head slightly and withdrew, Dong Shengye was a little surprised.
Nan Mo, who exited the door, was now outside, thinking about the lost chess game and the invitation of the Shangyuan Festival. She didn't know that the attitude of this old master Dong was related to seeing Yao Xue in the morning. To be honest, she didn't care if she listened to Dong Shengye's lecture or not, and the reason why she agreed to Jing Mi was just because she didn't want to brush off Jing Mi's kindness.
After standing for a while, Nan Mo felt a little tired, so he changed his focus to one foot.
At this time, she suddenly heard a "sigh" in Xuanqing Hall, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Nan Mo quickly pushed open the carved wooden door, and the scene in front of her surprised her.
I saw the gray-haired Dong Shengye fall to the ground, clutching his abdomen, spasming as if he was in pain. Jing Mi and Yuan'er gathered around, not knowing what to do.
Nan Mo walked over and put two fingers on Dong Shengye's wrist to diagnose his pulse. The yang veins are astringent, and the yin veins are stringy.
Dong Shengye's hands and feet were cold at the moment, he couldn't stop sweating, and he couldn't breathe, so he didn't have the strength to push Nan Mo away at all, so he had to let her go.
She pressed heavily in Dong Shengye's heart, under the diaphragm, in the abdomen, and in several places. Dong Shengye complained bitterly, and felt that this little girl was deliberate, because he drove her out, so he took advantage of his inability to move and attacked him ruthlessly.
Nan Mo thought about it, and it was important to treat the acute pain in the abdomen first, so he said to Dong Shengye: "Master's colic in the abdomen is actually the part of the Taiyin and the earth, if the pain is inside, it will be relieved, and it will be urgent outside, you are obviously the latter, and it is impossible to get through." Dare to ask what kind of cold food did the master eat before he came to Jingfu in the morning? ”
Dong Shengye didn't say anything, in fact, he did eat a few persimmons stored in the cellar. But looking at Nan Mo's words, he just didn't want this girl to be proud.
Nan Mo saw Dong Shengye's stubborn look, and didn't expect him to answer, so he asked Yuan'er to take a pen and paper, and read while writing: "Chen orange peel is five cents, white peony is three cents, cinnamon branches are two cents, ginger is one and five cents, and the grass is one cent, and when the medicine is about to be fried, add three coins of caramel sugar." ”
After speaking, Nan Mo glanced at Old Master Dong and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, you will be a little tired for a while, in addition to decocting a pair of medicines, grab two more medicines for him, let Old Master Dong take them back to eat, and cure them completely." lest Old Master Dong come to Jingfu to teach Miss, and he didn't teach anything famous, but taught a serious illness. ”
Yuan'er didn't like Dong Shengye's eyes above the top, for fear that he wouldn't hear it, so he let out a heavy "hey" and ran away.
Jing Mi was thoughtful, and the handwriting that Nan Mo wrote casually was so beautiful that even she sighed to herself. If you don't practice regularly, you won't be able to reach that level.
Soon, Yuan'er brought the decocted medicine over and asked Dong Shengye to take it.
But in a moment, Dong Shengye was calm, and the cold sweat did not come out. He got up and tidied up his clothes, and glanced at Nan Mo fiercely by the way. He didn't think it was the medicine that saved him, because it was like this before, and after he fell ill, he could recover after a while.
Dong Shengye didn't have the heart to teach today, so he snorted coldly and was about to leave.
"Mr. Dong, Nan Mo has a good intention, you should bring the rest of the medicine." Jing Mi personally handed the medicine bag to Dong Shengye's hand, Dong Shengye was not good at prevaricating with Jing Mi, so he blew his beard and stared, picked up the medicine and turned around and left.
