Chapter 19: Send the Green Leaf
The two mothers-in-law only thought she was afraid, and sneered twice, "It's not too late to know now, go out and kneel by yourself, don't let us do it, you will suffer at that time." β
"What, you two can still beat me?" Lin Yingsleeve pretended to be weak-hearted, covering her chest, "You...... If you dare to do it, I must tell my wife. β
The two mothers-in-law had a smile on their faces, and said in a weird way: "Then it depends on whether you are honest or not, if you are disobedient, even your wife will not be able to protect you." β
Lin Yingsleeve sighed and said with an aggrieved face: "I didn't say that I was disobedient. After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out of the door, and saw Lu Fu and another Tongfang standing under the porch eating melon seeds, looking like they were watching a good show.
Lin Yingsleeve knew it in her heart, turned around and said to the grandmother behind her: "The second master said, let me copy the article for him, you don't want the second master to know, go to the study and carry the table out, I will kneel and copy, the second master will use it when he comes back later, and you Aunt Zhao can't afford to be offended if you delay it!" β
The two mothers-in-law's faces changed, "What you said is true?" β
There is a small courtyard between the backyard of the study and the ear room at the back, there is a small pond in the courtyard, there are all kinds of goldfish in the pool, and there is a small rockery, and a few green bamboos are hollowed out on one side of the rockery, so there is no shade in the courtyard.
Aunt Zhao chose this time to let Lin Yingsleeve kneel the best, Pei Yuan is not at home, although it is not the hottest time at this moment, Lin Yingsleeve is cool in the house, and she will definitely not be able to stand it if she is suddenly exposed to the sun.
Aunt Zhao's thoughts, how can Lin Yingsleeve not know? The article didn't say that it had to be copied today, but it was just an excuse. Her identity is comparable to that of Aunt Zhao, if she is punished today, anyone in this house can find an opportunity to bully her in the future.
In her previous life, she endured and let go, but it still didn't end well, and in this life she is determined to hold her chest up and be an upright person.
"Otherwise, you can ask the second master."
The two mothers-in-law didn't dare to ask Pei Yuan, Lin Ying's eyes fluttered, and she chuckled as if she had unintentionally, "I should talk to the second master later in today's matter, and let him know the strange rules in this mansion!" β
The necks of the two mothers-in-law shrank, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to do anything, and they don't dare to go back like this.
How should these two people go back to their masters, Lin Ying didn't care, so she bypassed the small pond and went directly to the study.
Pei Yuan hadn't come back at dinner, but there was a noise in the backyard, and Caixi came in with tea, with a happy face, "Grandma doesn't know yet!" The second master was angry, reprimanded Aunt Zhao's grandmother, and sent Lu Fu out to marry. β
Lin Yingsleeve felt strange, from now on, Pei Yuan's attitude of using Chinese food should be to spoil Lu Fu, otherwise she would not have indulged her to be noisy. Why did you send people away at this time?
"Is there something else? Why didn't I listen to my wife in the upper room? "Lin Yingsleeve didn't sue the Zhou family, there was a Rong'er in front of him who was a member of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family knew everything about every move here.
Zhou knows that if she doesn't deal with it, it means that she doesn't care at all, so why should she talk more?
"There is nothing else, the second master asked Mama Pei to teach Aunt Zhao a hard lesson, saying that she would not be in charge of the house, and she would not even be able to manage the inner house. The second master is angry for your aunt and grandmother! β
Lin Yingsleeve didn't speak again, continued to write, let me wait for dinner, and prepare hot water first.
Sure enough, Pei Yuan came back after a while, Rong'er waited for a bath before entering the study, and the two had dinner together, Lin Yingsleeve deliberately asked, "I heard that the second master sent Lu Fu out?" β
Pei Yuan didn't speak, Rong'er behind her looked serious, and replied softly: "Lu Fu doesn't understand the rules, she should have been a family member to ask in person, but Aunt Zhao didn't ask, but said in front of the second master that Aunt Grandma you are not decent and quarrel with the girl." β
"Luo Qi! I think you want to go out too, don't you? β
Rong'er playfully stuck out her tongue and stood behind Lin Yingsleeve without mentioning it.
After eating, Lin Yingsleeve was a little lazy, and fell asleep on the recliner under the window, Pei Yuan checked the article copied by Lin Yingsleeve, the handwriting was neat, but it was different from the last time.
took the article and walked beside Lin Yingsleeve, pushing people awake, "Who taught you this willow body?" Last time I saw that you wrote in Xiaokai, how many more will you have? β
Lin Yingsleeve was sleepy-eyed, and replied lazily: "Xiaokai is the favorite of ordinary people, my father and I write letters for people on weekdays, so I learned Xiaokai, I still like willow body, if the second master likes Xiaokai, I will rewrite it." As he spoke, he got up.
Pei Yuan pressed Lin Yingsleeve's shoulder and didn't let her get up, "I'll ask casually, the willow body is very good, it's rare that you can write like this at this age, it's very good." β
Lin Yingsleeve smiled modestly, her words were just like that, how good it was, it was a lie. Since he was sensible, he thought about how to make money to support his family, and he wrote just to help Lin Xiucai copy books, and he didn't write seriously.
"Okay, don't lie down when you're full, go out with me for a walk."
Lin Yingsleeve hurriedly got up and tidied up her clothes, she was used to working on weekdays, but she suddenly had nothing to do, but she was not used to it.
Pei Yuan smiled and led Lin Yingsleeve out of the house, the garden in Pei's mansion was huge, but when he went to the inner house, the concubines and maids in the mansion were afraid and would not be able to live in peace.
The outer study and the inner house are separated by a wall, a small corner door is locked at night, and in front of the outer study is the main hall of the entire Pei Mansion, which is used to receive male guests, and next to it is the guest room and the lower room, there is nothing to visit.
Lin Yingsleeve lowered her head and followed behind Pei Yuan, not saying a word, she had the intention to please Pei Yuan and make her life in Pei Mansion better, but Pei Yuan's temperament was a little cold, and she really didn't know how to please her.
I don't know how many doors I walked through, and I went around a fence to the back door.
"Whew-"
Lin Yingsleeve only felt that it was dark in front of her, and a huge black shadow rushed towards her, and she was so frightened that she hid behind the man.
The big yellow dog put its front legs on Pei Yuan's body, and its tail fanned the dust on the ground.
The man touched the dog's head with a doting face, and coaxed the big yellow dog for a long time before the dog put his front legs on the ground and stared at Lin Yingsleeve vigilantly. Lin Yingsleeve's heartbeat accelerated violently, and her hands were stubbornly pulling the man's sleeve.
When I was a child, I washed clothes for a large family, and was chased and bitten by the stupid son of the landlord's family, ran for several miles, and was scared of something, so I was particularly afraid of dogs.
Pei Yuan looked at the kitten behind him, and couldn't help laughing, his voice was surprisingly gentle, "Little lion, don't scare her, she is the female scholar in the master's study." β
The big yellow dog seemed to understand, and barked twice.
Lin Yingsleeve was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, just this dog could bite off her little arms and legs.
"Let's go, don't come hereβ"
The big yellow dog sniffed Lin Ying's sleeves, whimpered a little aggrievedly, and rubbed Pei Yuan with his head.
"Pei Yuan, let it go away, otherwise, I'll die to show you!" Lin Yingsleeve was afraid of being in a hurry, her body froze there, she wanted to run, but she didn't dare to run, for fear that the dog would chase after her.
After all, a two-legged one can't outrun a four-legged one!
