Chapter 23: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
The small Buddha hall is in the courtyard of Fushoutang, which is the place where the old lady burns incense and recites Buddha on weekdays.
It is said to be introspection, but it is not punished for kneeling.
It's just locked up here and won't let them out, and they won't give them food or drink.
Chun Tao was a little aggrieved, "It's obviously Haitang's fault, why did you punish us here." ”
Song Yu knelt on the futon and made the picture of the pine eagle, smelling the faint sandalwood in the room, and her heart was unusually calm.
Hearing this, she smiled, "She was slapped more than ten times and fined half a year's monthly money." We're just closing a small Buddha hall, aren't you satisfied? ”
Chun Tao smiled idiotically, "If Miss says so, I am really happy when I see Begonia being beaten!" ”
"So what do you care about so much? Compared to her, what kind of punishment do we have? ”
"But this is the first day we moved to Fushoutang, and you were locked up in the small Buddha Hall by the old lady, who will respect you in the future."
Song Yu smiled and shook her head, "What are you talking about?" ”
"After nearly three years in the Hou Mansion, who has respected me? Don't expect this situation to change in Fushoutang just because Mama Chen politely said that I am the master. ”
"The slave maid thinks that the old lady's courtyard is very well-behaved, in case we are blessed by misfortune this time, life can really be better than when we were in Biyan Pavilion."
Song Yu shook her head, "The old lady is fair, as long as she doesn't deliberately treat her like Madame, I'm already very satisfied." ”
"Miss is right."
The hope that had just been ignited by Chun Tao was extinguished again, and after a while, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.
"Anyway, if you clean up the begonias, the slave will be happy!"
was taught a lesson by the old lady in front of so many people, presumably Begonia will not be majestic in the future!
It's getting dark.
Aoki lingered outside the study for a long time, not daring to go in.
After coming back from Biyan Pavilion that day, the second master's face was ugly for several days, and he really didn't want to touch his head at this time.
After hesitating for a long time, just as he was about to leave, a voice came from the house.
"If you have something, just say it."
Aoki entered the door with a hard head.
"Second master, the begonia girl is crying in the house and trying to die. Look at this ......"
"Why?"
"I heard that Mama Chen, who was next to the old lady today, was slapped more than a dozen times, and now her face is swollen. She said that she had lost someone to the second master, and she had no face to live. ”
Shen Zhan put down the book in his hand, "For no reason, how could Mama Chen beat her?" ”
"I heard, I heard that it has something to do with the things over there in the Blue Smoke Pavilion......
Aoki is hesitant.
"I guess that Haitang has always held a grudge against Miss Song, and relying on your favor, I went to show off my power in front of Miss Song today. Unfortunately, Mama Chen bumped into her picking quarrels and provoking trouble, so she beat her. ”
"Favoritism?"
Shen Zhan twisted his eyebrows, "When did I favor her." ”
"There has never been a maid in our courtyard, and Begonia is the first one you personally asked to come from Kang'an Pavilion. made her the housekeeper again, isn't this a favored ......? ”
Shen Zhan's brows tightened even tighter.
He just felt that something was wrong with Weishi that day.
Haitang is Wei's confidant, and asking her over can not only cut off one of Wei's left arms and right arms, but also know some news about Kang'an Pavilion from her mouth.
Moreover, people are under his nose, and some accounts will be convenient to settle in the future......
How did this become a favorite.
There was a wisp of irritability between Shen Zhan's eyebrows.
"What did she do?"
"This ...... The little one didn't know, maybe he was talking a few words of nonsense in front of Miss Song. Like, you pushed Miss Song? ”
Shen Zhan's eyes were cold, "Swallow and vomit, you also want to be punished?" ”
"Don't dare!"
Aoki didn't dare to test it again, and quickly said the news he had heard in one breath.
“…… In short, both ends have been punished, and Miss Song should still be in the small Buddha hall now, I heard that she is not allowed to eat and drink. ”
"Be smart!"
Shen Zhan dropped the book, "She's not afraid to put herself in!" ”
Aoki held his breath, and he didn't dare to breathe.
The room was silent for a long time.
There was a faint noise outside the courtyard, mixed with the cries of women.
Aoki raised his head cautiously, "Second master, do you want to take care of the one outside?" ”
"You're getting kinder."
Shen Zhan's voice was still a little angry.
"If you don't want to live, let her die, and if you dare to cry, I'll finish her with my own hands."
That's it.
Aoki didn't dare to speak anymore and stepped back lightly.
He knew how could the second master look at Begonia like this.
When he arrived at the next room, Aoki relayed Shen Zhan's words as they were.
Begonia covered her high swollen face, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain.
"Did you hear me wrong? How can the second master ignore my ......?"
"I'm the eldest maid in the second master's courtyard, and the people in the old lady's room beat me like this, what's the difference between hitting the second master's face? How can the second master ignore me! ”
Aoki had a cold face, "Miss Begonia is still self-respecting." ”
"I warned you a long time ago, grandma is the master, not something we can provoke casually. If you don't go to Fushoutang to pick up her today, you will be beaten in vain. ”
Haitang was stunned, "Second master...... The second master didn't care about me for her? ”
She couldn't believe it.
"She is a widow, or the widow of the uncle, how can the second master ...... Ahh
Before she could finish speaking, Aoki picked up a stone and slammed it on her hand.
Begonia screamed in pain, and when she looked up, she saw Aoki staring at her coldly.
"Some things are said, some things are not said. If the begonia girl doesn't count in her heart, it's better not to talk for the rest of her life. ”
Begonia's face turned pale in an instant.
"If you do a good job for the second master, you will naturally be able to live peacefully in this courtyard. But if you have some ideas that you shouldn't fight, don't blame yourself for being unlucky. ”
Is this what the second master really means to kill her?
Begonia curled up and shrunk in, too frightened to speak.
When Aoki walked out with a cold face, the hatred in her eyes gradually revealed.
If it weren't for Biyan Pavilion's deliberate calculation of her, how could she have been beaten like this, and it would have made the second master displeased!
When she climbs to the second master, she will never let go of this slut!
The night is getting darker.
Aoki yawned outside the study, but he threw out a sentence coldly.
"Come in."
He was agitated and walked in quickly.
Shen Zhan pointed to the box on the table.
"There are still some ginseng given by the saint last time, you can send it to Fushoutang."
Fujudo is now inhabited by more than one person.
Aoki was confused for a moment, and asked in a daze:
"Is it for the old lady, or is it ......?"
Facing Shen Zhan's cannibalistic gaze, Aoki shrunk his neck and picked up the box.
"The little one will be sent to the old lady."
was suddenly stopped by Shen Zhan.
"Pastry at noon...... Is there anything left? ”
Unexpectedly, the tone turned out to be very calm.
Aoki nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, there's quite a bit left." The second master wants to eat? ”
After a pause, Shen Zhan glanced at him, "It's too late, don't eat." ”
That coldly asked what this was for.
Aoki walked out with the box in his arms.
When I was about to go out, my brain suddenly stirred and I reacted.
He hugged the box and turned around and smiled at Shen Zhan.
"The little one understands, let's send it to Miss Song!"
After Aoki walked out of the courtyard, Shen Zhan muttered with a cold face, "Be smart." ”
