Chapter 14: Harsh

Ah Candle subconsciously stood up, because the movement was too big, and he almost knocked over the teacup.

Song Zhizhi thought that she was also frightened, and couldn't help but exhale quietly, probably because of the sense of security that someone was accompanied, but she was not as frightened as usual for a while.

"That's what Your Highness said." This is Song Wuyue's voice.

The Song family is full of scholars, Song Wuyue carefully tasted the words of Princess Mingshi, and praised: "It should be so!" ”

The two walked inside one after the other.

Song Zhizhi was already afraid of Song Wuyue, but now there is a princess of Mingshi, and she can't wait to shrink into the ground, don't talk to her, don't talk to her.

Pei Mingshi's eyes fell on Ah Candle, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he didn't like her thin and petite figure.

"Ah Candle?"

She called, especially dissatisfied, but she had always been leaky, and no one noticed Pei Mingshi's subtle emotions.

When the sound of "Ah Candle" came out, the curvature of Ah Candle's mouth stiffened, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but secretly glance at others.

Fortunately, no one guessed her mind.

Song Wuyue was only the princess when Ah Candle saw Ming for the first time, and it was inevitable to be restrained. Although she didn't understand why Princess Ming suddenly thought of coming to Qi Niang's courtyard, she thought that it was also for the sake of the companion reading, but she didn't know if Ah Niang said it to the princess, or Ah Weng opened her mouth.

She personally poured tea for Pei Mingshi, saw Ah Candle sit down stiffly, and then looked at Song Zhizhi, she was still as timid as ever, if she had been in the past, she would have had a belly fire, but with the comparison, she didn't feel that Song Zhizhi was ashamed.

Pei Mingshi held the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Qi Niang, are you willing to come to me?" ”

A smile appeared on Song Wuyue's face, and the meaning of these words was very obvious. It is not for nothing that there is a tall gate that is more prominent than the Song family, but the princess of the Ming Dynasty still chose Song Zhizhi, which shows that there is still the Song family in her heart.

As long as you are not a fool, you should quickly agree at this time.

Song Zhizhi lowered his head, his voice trembled, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness forgives your sins...... I don't want to go to the palace. ”

Song Wuyue's eyes widened, she glared angrily, and in a hurry, she ignored the princess and sat aside, and said sharply: "Your Highness has taken a fancy to you, it is your blessing!" Do you know what outsiders say, you have simply lost the face of our Song family! ”

"Five ladies!"

"Wu Niang."

One serious, the other calm, in unison.

Ah Candle knew in her heart that this was a family matter between the sisters of the Song family, and it had nothing to do with her. But she remembered the worry hidden under Mrs. Song's gentle smile, just like A-Niang. No matter how dignified she is in front of outsiders, in the final analysis, she is just an ordinary mother who can't take her daughter.

Mrs. Song felt sorry that her little daughter was raised to be such a timid character, just like A-Niang felt sorry for Ah Candle since she was a child, her heart was dripping blood, but she couldn't do anything.

Ah Candle hugged Song Zhizhi's shoulder, obviously he was also very thin, but he hugged the little girl in his arms tightly.

Ah Candle looked at Song Wuyue and said word by word: "With all due respect, instead of accusing the seventh lady here, the fifth lady should reflect on herself!" ”

Song Wuyue was a proud person by nature, and immediately said, "What did I do? ”

Ah Candle covered Song Zhizhi's ears and looked at Song Wuyue without fear: "Qi Niangzi is your sister, a mother's compatriot, and a close relative!" But you never really cared about what she wanted, her preferences, worries, and fears, you didn't know! Even, you are the accomplice of her cowardly nature! ”

"I didn't!"

"You have!" Ah Candle said loudly, "She is useless in your eyes, no matter what she does, it is wrong, and over time, she doesn't dare to say anything, she doesn't dare to do anything." You forced her to the point where she could only shrink into a corner, but you came to accuse her of not being able to get on the stage and throwing her into the face of the family! ”

"Your suppression, denial, and unreasonable harshness are all the reasons that made her what she is now!"

Song Wuyue subconsciously denied: "I don't have ......"

They are sisters of the same mother, and she must be the person who wants Song Zhizhi to be good the most except for A-Niang.

How could she-

Song Wuyue looked at Song Zhizhi buried in Ah Candle's arms, she curled up in a ball, and at some point, she turned her face and looked at herself with tears on her face.

His eyes were blank and empty, as if he had shed tears.

Song Wuyue suddenly burst into tears.

It's not like this, it's not like this......

She opened her mouth and said softly: "Zhizhi, Sister just wants you to be bolder, don't be ....... all the time"

Song Zhizhi looked at her, and seemed to look over her to the wall, her ears were still tightly covered by Ah Candle, and she didn't hear what Song Wuyue said at all.

Finally, Pei Mingshi spoke: "Wu Niang, go back and reflect on yourself." ”

Song Wuyue didn't think about reading with or without reading, she took a deep look at Ah Candle, wiped away her tears, and got up still arrogant and dignified, outsiders couldn't see it, only she knew what she thought in her heart.

There are only three people left in the inner room.

Facing Pei Mingshi's scrutiny, Ah Candle became nervous after realizing it, and hurriedly let go of Song Zhizhi and said, "Your Highness forgive me, Ah Candle didn't mean to offend." ”

Pei Mingshi chuckled, leaned over, and made a surprising move.

She pinched Ah Candle's face and muttered to herself: "If Ah Niang is still here, I will definitely ask her to give me a sister like you." ”

Ah Candle thought awkwardly, if there is another one, it will not be exactly the same as her.

Pei Mingshi pinched enough, withdrew his hand, and handed Song Zhizhi a handkerchief.

"Qi Niang, let me ask again, you don't have to go to the palace, you and I will listen to the class at Waiweng's place, are you willing?"

Song Zhizhi lowered her head, her tears were almost dry, but she still took the veil and didn't speak for a long time.

Ah Candle tugged at Pei Mingshi's sleeve.

Pei Mingshi glanced at her and said succinctly: "Say." ”

Ah Candle was a little aggrieved for some reason, "I want to too." ”

"What do you think?"

"Reading companions."

It's not just to be angry with the county lord, but more Ah Candle can't tell, just like her unreasonable teeth and claws in front of Xi Lan, the first time she saw Pei Ming, she had an urge to pounce into her arms and be coquettish.

It seems that they have known each other for a long time.

Pei Mingshi patted her head, and her movements were so natural that even she was taken aback, but she didn't show it on her face.

"You tore my sleeve, so will you pay for it yourself?"

"I'm not that worthless!" A candle said, "Don't pat me on the head, I won't grow tall!" ”

All right.

Pei Mingshi said: "You can talk to Qi Niang, but you also have to listen carefully to the class, you know?" ”

Old lady Song is very strict.

Song Zhizhi knew this better than Ah Candle, she was still reluctant in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey the princess. But fortunately, Ah Candle is there, which makes her not so resistant.

Pei Mingshi finalized the list of companions in a few words, completely ignoring the bloody storm outside.

"There is a horse race in a few days, do you want to come and see it?"

Ah Candle nodded violently: "Yes, yes!" ”

There is another chance to make the mother and daughter of the county lord of Ancheng half angry, hahaha!

Song Zhizhi wanted to say that I wouldn't go, but Ah Candle grabbed her shoulders and whispered: "Qi Niang, go ahead, I'm scared alone, you should accompany me, please." ”

Song Zhizhi lowered his head and hesitated: "I, I'll think about it again." ”

Pei Mingshi tasted tea unhurriedly, thinking to himself, his aunt should also rest assured.
