Chapter 215: Rivalry (1)
Zhu Jinlun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Now? ”
In a little while it's dinner time.
Xiao Tao stood in place, looking at Zhu Nylon with a pair of eyes like autumn water, and the sincerity in her eyes was very obvious.
Zhu Jinlun looked at her sparkling eyes, and wanted to refuse, but nodded and agreed.
Of course, he didn't think that her rare willfulness was really just for swinging, he thought, she must have something to say to him.
This will, the Changchun Garden is already quiet, and in order to avoid fire, the lanterns and candles in the garden are guarded by special personnel, and they will be extinguished when they reach a certain hour, and there will be no future troubles.
Zhu Jinlun and Xiao Tao walked side by side, accompanied by two little maids playing lanterns.
Xiao Tao led Zhu Jinlun to the peach blossom forest where she had been sitting for an afternoon, and then, she easily sat on the somewhat old wooden swing frame and shook her whole body.
She was wearing a moon-white dress, with a small bun on her head, and a hairpin of white magnolia flowers was obliquely inserted on it, and the magnolia flowers on the hairpin were made of silk yarn, which at first glance looked as delicate as real flowers.
At the age of flowers, there is no need for much embellishment.
Zhu Jinlun can't stand the kind of woman who has a heavy rouge taste and is dressed in red and willow green. He likes gentle and introverted women, demure and graceful, like a piece of crystal clear jade, which makes people want to wear it all the time.
This time, the moonlight is bright and the peach forest is quiet.
Xiao Tao sat quietly on the swing, the corners of her mouth were lightly pursed, with a smile that seemed to be nothing, she felt very gentle, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water with a little melancholy, and there was a taste of pity for me. However, the sorrow flowing in her eyes touched Zhu Jinlun's heart, and after a little thought, he vaguely understood where her mind came from.
Maybe her grandmother embarrassed her......
Zhu Jinlun walked behind her and personally pushed the swing for her, his strength was very great, but with a little force, it had already made her whole person swing high.
Little Tao chuckled, sounding brighter in the quiet peach forest.
Her laughter grew louder and louder, and she seemed to be very lively.
It's just that Zhu Jinlun didn't expect that at this time, although she was laughing, her eyes were unconsciously full of tears.
When Zhu Jinlun found out that she was laughing and crying at the same time, her face was already covered with tears.
Zhu Jinlun's heart fluctuated, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab her arm, and pulled her whole person off the swing.
Xiao Tao stood firm, hurriedly lowered her head to wipe the tears on her face, her voice was choked, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "Second young master, the slave maid suddenly remembered her family just now, so she was in a tr......ance for a while."
Zhu Jinlun frowned, and said in a harsh tone: "Is there anyone else in your family?" ”
He had obviously asked Zhu Fu before, she had fled and was helpless.
Xiao Tao said softly: "The slave's family is no longer there......"
"Since it's gone, it's useless for you to cry and cry." Zhu Jinlun's eyes changed, and his expression seemed to be displeased. "Now, you are my maid, and everything you have is mine, including tears. Therefore, in the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to cry again. ”
He couldn't stand women crying, especially those with ulterior motives.
Xiao Tao nodded when she heard this, and then blinked her eyes a few times, forcing her tears back, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhu Jinlun saw that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and he couldn't help himself, thinking that she was lonely, and he felt nostalgic for a while.
"The slave maid used to like to swing the most at home, but since the death of my father, the slave maid has never swung on the swing again...... her eyes were full of crystal clear tears, and she continued to murmur: "The slave maid originally thought that no one would push the swing for me again in this life...... But fortunately, the slave maid still has the second young master...... There is also a second young master you can rely on..."
Slowly, slowly, she squatted on the ground, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she began to sobb helplessly, tears poured out like a spring, and the whole person seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Zhu Jinlun stared at her, and a faint helplessness flashed in his eyes, however, his eyes must have shone, as if he had made some decision.
"It's okay, you can't go back to the past, and you have to forget what you should forget." Zhu Jinlun's body leaned forward slightly, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked her cheek, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, if you follow me, I will arrange everything for you, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
Xiao Tao was full of tears, nodded her head slightly, grabbed Zhu Jinlun's hand tightly, raised her face, and said with a slight cry: "The slave maid wants to follow the second young master for a lifetime, and the slave maid doesn't ask for anything, she just wants to be with the second master, even if she is nameless and penniless, even if she is bullied...... The slave and maid were also willing. ”
Zhu Jinlun's eyes tightened when he heard this, he held her pale and slender hand and slowly pulled her up from the ground, stared at her face, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Tao deliberately didn't speak, just leaned on his arms, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Zhu Jinlun's face changed slightly, and he continued to ask, "Are the elders embarrassing you?" Or are the people treating you poorly? ”
Xiao Tao was still silent, she knew that it would be more useful for her not to speak than to speak.
In the afternoon, she thought about it alone for a long time. If she continued to tolerate the cuckoo pressing on top of her head, perhaps, she would have been killed by her unknowingly before her new grandmother could marry into the door.
Just like Xia Jiu said, she came out of the second lady's side, and she was a veritable old man. The maids in the courtyard were afraid of her, and they obeyed her, even if they were talking nonsense with their eyes open.
What if it's just a fruit bowl, a few bayberry, a vase or a precious antique jade?
If the cuckoo deliberately tried to frame her, she was powerless to resist it. Moreover, Du Juan has been by Zhu Jinlun's side for the longest time, and if he has the intention to provoke, there are many opportunities.
One is an old man who is favored in front of the master, and the other is a little girl who has just entered the house, but everyone is red-eyed...... Compared with the two, wouldn't he have to lose from beginning to end, and there will never be a day to turn over.
Cuckoo's aggressiveness makes Xiao Tao realize how critical her situation is. Zhu Nylon is her biggest support. Just like the flood in her hometown, she was swept into the murky water, and the only thing she could catch was the driftwood.
"Second young master, don't ask, the slave doesn't want to say bad things about others...... If anyone does something wrong, it must be the slave herself......" Momo muttered to herself.
When Zhu Jinlun heard this, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was a little concerned about her words.
Xiao Tao slowly calmed her breathing, held back her tears, and then stood in front of Zhu Jinlun, her eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also red, and she looked like a pear blossom with rain, but she pretended to be nothing: "The slave just missed her family, and she was a little confused for a while, and she said a lot of nonsense, and I hope that the second young master will not be strange." ”
Zhu Jinlun saw her smiling at herself, looked at her suspiciously, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and said, "Are you really okay?" ”
Xiao Tao suddenly looked up at him, and said with teary eyes: "The slave is fine." ”
Zhu Jinlun said again, "Don't think nonsense, if someone bullies you and embarrasses you, you just have to say it, don't keep it in your heart, when the time comes, you will be troublesome." ”
knew that she didn't want to say something, but she didn't ask any further, because Zhu Jinlun knew it.
After Xiao Tao cried and cried, she was taken back by Zhu Jinlun. The two accompanying maids watched every move of the two, and after they went back, they immediately told the cuckoo to know.
Du Juan was worried because the second young master didn't eat dinner, and after hearing about it, his face instantly became ugly.
"Is that girl trying to sue?" The cuckoo asked in a low voice.
"I didn't ...... Not really. The little peach girl just cried vigorously, no one said anything, no one mentioned ......"
The cuckoo snorted coldly: "Then didn't she cry for nothing?" ”
The little peach girl just cried sadly, which made the second young master almost angry. However, in the end, she still didn't say anything, and the second young master brought her back, and she was freshening up in the house. However, the second young master is not here, do you want the girl to go and see? ”
Du Juan thought for a while and said, "Not now, it's not too late to go to see her after I finish serving the second young master." ”
Angry is angry, after this incident, Du Juan decided that Xiao Tao was a very cowardly person who was bullied, but he didn't even dare to sue...... Such a person deserves to be bullied by nature!
Du Juan was not worried that she would sue at all, and even wished that she would spit out bitterness and grievances with the second young master like a resentful woman.
She has done too much of such a thing. What's more, there are also those maids in the yard who obey her words, and if she finds one casually, she can make Xiao Tao, who "sues the wicked first", be bored and end up in defeat.
The cuckoo imagined the little peach crying and crying, and the pear blossoms with rain, and couldn't help but let out a sneer again.
That's what she's capable of.
The second young master doesn't like crying and troublesome women, but she has to use this set, come and go, and it's strange if she doesn't dislike people.
It seems that her good days are coming to an end.
……
Zhu Jinlun, who had not yet eaten dinner, was called to the study by his father Zhu Jun to give a lecture. The reason why he was reproached was because he was late in the morning.
Zhu Jun's study is elegantly and exquisitely furnished, and you can see it everywhere, and the priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, these things are all treasures that he has collected from the north and south of the river over the years.
Zhu Jun attaches great importance to these things, so every day before going to bed, he will come over to take a look, occasionally take out one, taste it and play with it, and enjoy himself.
Zhu Jinlun was rarely lectured by his father, but today he is an exception.
"Now, you're an adult, too. There are some things that are difficult for the father to say, but you should also have an idea in your heart. Inferior people are inferior people after all, don't take that kind of woman too seriously. ”
