Chapter 116: Became a maid
"Isn't it just to eat something from you, as for being so stingy?" Pei Yining muttered in a low voice, "It's a big deal, I'll just return the money to you in the future." ”
Seeing that she had no confidence, Shen Yan'an didn't want to embarrass her, she was a county lord, so she couldn't do too much, but as soon as he thought about it, he heard Shen Yanshu's voice.
"You don't have to pay it back later, you can pay it back now. Shen Yanshu didn't even raise his head.
Pei Yining looked at her in disbelief: "I don't have any money now, and I can't pay it back if I want to." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "Although you can't pay it yet, you can work to pay off your debts, you can eat ours and live in ours, but you have to work, we don't support idlers here." ”
"You ......" Pei Yining heard her say this, and the food in her mouth instantly lost her taste, "You actually let this county lord work!
Shen Yanshu sandwiched a piece of fish meat, carefully picked out the thorns in it, and then put it in the bowl of Huangtingzhou, she turned her head to look at Pei Yining, and said: "County Lord Jin Zhi Yuye, of course we don't dare to force it, we are not stingy people, forget about today's meal, when the boat arrives in Cangzhou, the county lord will get off the boat." ”
"Why?" Pei Yining said, "You want to leave me alone?"
Shen Yanshu said: "Of course not, it's just the county lord's golden branches and jade leaves, our small boat can't accommodate your big Buddha, if you go to Cangzhou, presumably the Cangzhou prefect will entertain the county lord." ”
When Pei Yining heard this, he was stunned: "I don't want to get off the boat, I want to go to Chang'an with you." ”
"Why did the county lord go to Chang'an?" asked Shen Yanshu.
Pei Yining lowered her head and said, "Sister Yan Xi is here, I want to be with her, I don't want to get married." ”
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Shen Yanshu's heart melted, Pei Yining has always been innocent, and has been well protected by King Jing for so many years, but King Jing's disability is a big blow to King Jing's Mansion, and for Yining, it seems that he has grown a lot and knows how to make compromises.
Now Pei Yao has become the pillar of King Jing's Mansion, not only is he cautious about the imperial court, but he also wants to conquer the subordinates of the soldiers, but he may not be so concerned about Pei Yining, and in order to pick a suitable family for her, he may not have considered her opinion.
"Then you will be like Xiyan, be a maid, so that you can hide your identity, otherwise, when you arrive in Chang'an, you can only stay in the palace. Shen Yanshu said.
With her identity, if she goes to Kyoto without an edict, she will definitely be taken seriously, and she can only live in the palace.
Pei Yining didn't know, so she ran out secretly.
"To be a maid is to be a maid. Pei Yining made up her mind and said, "Sister Yan Xi can do it, and so can I." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "Also, don't call Xiyan's previous name in the future, she has only one identity now, which is my maid Xiyan, and don't get tired of being by her side all the time and affect her work." ”
Pei Yining nodded, she also knew that Xiyan couldn't reveal her identity.
"Then what am I going to do? to be a personal maid like Xiyan?" Pei Yining asked.
Shen Yanshu said: "It's enough for me to have Xiyan and Qingkite by my side, you go to send an envoy to Andi, he has a small servant to serve on weekdays, but he doesn't use a maid much, you just serve tea and pour water, and Xiyan will be much more leisurely than Xiyan." ”
Serve tea and pour water...... Pei Yining wanted to refute in her heart, but when she thought about it, the maids were originally doing this, so she had nothing to say.
Shen Yan'an looked bitter and hateful: "Sister, isn't it embarrassing for me to let her be my maid?"
Pei Yining's out-of-the-box temperament is already lucky if it is not bad, can he still do things well?
Pei Yining couldn't see others looking down on her like this, so her stubborn temper came up and said, "Isn't it just serving tea and pouring water or something, it's very simple, and I don't know!"
Shen Yan'an said: "Okay, well, you will, it's best if you stay away from me on weekdays." ”
"You ......"
"By the way, since you are my maid, you must have a maid's name, and don't always call yourself the county lord. Shen Yan'an smiled, "Let me think about what to give you a name...... Cuihua?
Seeing Shen Yan'an's bad taste, Pei Yining couldn't help but kick his foot under the table.
"What kind of broken names are these!" Pei Yining wanted to beat him when he heard this.
Shen Yan'an said: "Then it's better to call it a sparrow, who told you to be chattering all day long, just like a sparrow, annoying~"
"Shen Yan'an, are you itching!"
"Finch, how can you call your young master by his name, if this is the case again, I will punish you for washing the dishes, hehe......"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing like enemies, Shen Yanshu ignored it, and saw that Huang Tingzhou had finally eaten, so he asked the little maid to take him back to the room first.
She had her own plans to let Pei Yining be Shen Yan'an's maid, if Pei Yining stayed on their ship, she would definitely be impatient, if she often came over to stick to her and Xiyan, when the time came, she would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end.
And being a maid for Shen Yan'an has restrictions, you can't move at will, and you have things to do, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, this may be bitter for Shen Yan'an.
In the next few days, on the boat driving on the river, Shen Yan'an's helpless roar would be heard from time to time.
"You grind, you grind, why do you splash ink all over the table?"
"Finch, you are not a maid who washes clothes, and you are not allowed to touch my clothes in the future......! And this one, after washing, it is dirtier than between washing, can you explain it!"
"Finch, I just asked you to bring me a supper, and you ate half of it, are you a pig!"
"Sparrow, you...... You stay away from me, I don't need you to tie my hair! Ah Si, kick her out of the room for me!"
......
Pei Yining walked out of Shen Yan'an's room again with the tea that had been cold, but she looked aggrieved, she had tried her best to do it, and she always made a mess of things.
She went to learn from a maid for a long time, and then she figured out how simple it seemed to be to make tea.
It turns out that even if you serve tea and pour water, you have a great way.
"Finch, what's wrong with you?" Xiyan saw her sitting on the deck of the ship blowing the wind, and her melancholy face seemed to have something in mind.
Pei Yining turned around, she was now called by Shen Yan'an, and she was completely adapted to the name "Finch".
She sighed and said: "Xiyan, you are the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, and you were once held in the palm of General Chen's hand, how can you be willing to be a maid? These jobs are hard and tiring, if you had gone with me at the beginning, even if you didn't live in King Jing's Mansion, we would have arranged a good back road for you, why should you be persistent?"
Xi Yan chuckled and said: "In your eyes, it is extremely hard, but many people dream of it, and the other maids don't think it's anything bitter." The real hard life is to do things that you don't like at all, even if it seems to others to live an easy life, if your heart is still burdened with a thousand gold, how can you really be happy?"
Pei Yining couldn't feel the same way, but she knew that Xiyan had experienced a lot, and seeing the various situations in this world was different from her, listening to her words, she had a deep understanding.
"Do you think I'm squeamish?" Pei Yining asked.
Xi Yan said: "Compared to many young ladies of the family, you are already good." ”
"What about how it compares to Shen Yanshu?" asked Pei Yining.
Xiyan chuckled: "You know the answer." ”
Pei Yining pouted, turned around and said, "I'd better go and change the tea for Shen Yan'an." ”
They have reached the boundary of Cangzhou, Cangzhou and Jiangzhou are both important transportation hubs in the south of the Yangtze River, and the river transportation channel and road transshipment are both under the supervision of the Liangjiang Governor's Office, which is located in Cangzhou.
Since Yin Wuyu said that she wanted to see her, she let the ship dock in Cangzhou for two days.
The group found an inn in Cangzhou and stayed.
What they didn't expect was that Pei Yao, who had been following them, also came to Cangzhou with them.
"Shizi, it seems that none of them brought the young lady with them. The group booked three upper rooms, in addition to Shen Yanshu's sisters and brothers, I heard that there was also a delirious old man, and the others were ordinary rooms where the maids and maids lived. The Dark Guard reported.
Pei Yao frowned, how could it not be? Could it be that Yining didn't get off the boat?
He went out of the inn's window, and the night had come, and he thought that they should rest too, so he got up and said, "Go to their room and see if there is one." ”
Their room and Shen Yanshu's room were both on the second floor, except that one was at the left end and the other was at the right end.
Pei Yao and the dark guard had just walked through the door of the room and were about to go towards their room, when they suddenly felt the door of the room move, and the two people who were alert turned around and walked down the stairs.
They found a random table on the first floor and sat down, and saw Shen Yanshu and Xi Yan walking out in plain clothes, unlike before, Shen Yanshu put on a veil.
It's so late, where are the two of them going?
Pei Yao squinted his eyes slightly and quietly followed.
He had fought with Shen Yanshu, and his martial arts were above Chen Yanxi, but he was a powerful character, so they couldn't follow too closely, but followed from afar.
Shen Yanshu and Xiyan obviously didn't expect that someone could follow them in Cangzhou, so they didn't care too much about it, and went directly in the direction of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.
Xiyan came once, and took Shen Yanshu to the door of Yin's mansion with a familiar car.
"Who are you, and why are you here late at night?" asked the guard at the door, spear-wielding.
If it was the woman next to her, I am afraid that she would have cried a long time ago.
Xiyan stepped forward and said, "Go and report to your family, we have something to look for him, my young lady's name is Ni Shang." ”
The guard saw that the two of them were not ordinary people, so he asked them to pass the word.
After a while, Yin Wuyu personally went out and welcomed the two into the mansion.
Pei Yao, who was in the distance, watched as Yin Wuyu, the governor of Liangjiang, actually saluted Shen Yanshu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was puzzled.
