On the back porch of Rongqing Hall, when Jia Lian walked out, he saw at a glance the maid with slender shoulders and a pleasant profile, kicking at the flower bed in boredom.
After not seeing each other for half a month, this little girl feels like she has grown taller again.
Jia Lian turned around and walked over. The sound of his footsteps woke up the maid in the corridor. When she looked back, her bright little face suddenly glowed with a bright smile.
"Second Master, are you out?"
Seeing Qingwen leaping in front of him in two or three quick steps, looking up at him, Jia Lian touched her head and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"Sister Yuanyang said that the old lady was discussing important matters with you and we were not allowed to enter the house. I was afraid that the second master would come from the back corridor, so I kept guard here."
The little girl's cute words seemed to show her loyalty and seemed to invite her to be favored. Jia Lian was very pleased with her words. He scraped her nose and suddenly bent down and picked her up.
"Yeah~"
Qingwen immediately let out a sweet cry. When she was sure that she was sitting firmly in Jia Lian's arms, she pouted and said, "What are you doing? Someone saw it..."
"When I see what I'm afraid of, I hug my little wife. It's only natural."
Qingwen blushed and was embarrassed to say anything.
Perhaps because she has accepted her position as "little wife" in her heart, she no longer refutes Jia Lian's teasing about her.
"Besides, you are getting bigger and bigger now. In a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold you even if I want to."
"Bah, it sounds like they will gain weight in a few years..."
Jia Lian's words reminded Qingwen that after Jia's mother gave her to Jia Lian, it was from here that Jia Lian took her home.
In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.
Feeling a little sentimental in her heart, Qingwen hugged Jia Lian's neck generously and asked curiously in a low voice: "Second Master, are you really the grandson of the emperor?"
There is great innocence in the clear eyes.
"Is he the emperor's grandson? Is this important to you?"
"No, I'm just curious."
Qingwen is not stupid and knows that this is a "sensitive topic".
Seeing that Jia Lian did not answer directly, not wanting Jia Lian to think she was ignorant, she smiled and said nauseously: "No matter what the second master's status is, in people's hearts, the second master will always be the second master, and he is the most important person in his life.
"
Saying that, Qingwen pouted and pressed a kiss on Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian, who had just returned from the chaotic Tienwang Mountain, was told such a confession by his little girl, and one can imagine the eagerness in his heart.
Just as he was about to hug Qingwen's soft body and kiss her, a woman's cough sounded from behind.
When I looked back, I saw that it was Yuanyang.
The housekeeper of Rongqing Hall had a gentle personality. Although she held a high position, she never bullied others. She was favored and respected by everyone in the house. Aunt Yuanyang walked out of the back room with a "gloomy" look on her face.
come over.
She first glanced at Jia Lian quickly, then looked at Qingwen who hurriedly got out of Jia Lian's arms and said, "Didn't you come here with Xiang Ling?"
"Oh, yes! Xiangling is still in front."
Qingwen said, looking at Jia Lian with some embarrassment, and explained: "Xiang Ling and I were ordered by the second grandma to take the second master back. We were worried about missing the second master, so after discussing with her, I stayed behind and she stayed behind.
In front of me, I just saw the second master, but I immediately forgot about it...
Second Master, wait a minute, I’ll call Xiangling.”
Qingwen said, and Sayazi walked forward along the corridor.
After Qingwen left, Yuanyang glanced at Jia Lian with some resentment, then bowed slightly and seemed to be leaving.
"stop."
Jia Lian walked up to her and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing?"
"What I do has nothing to do with the second master. The second master finally returned home, he should go back and rest earlier..."
Oh, there is resentment.
Jia Lian has long known that with too many women, it is inevitable that sometimes it will be impossible to take care of everyone's wishes.
Although he strives to do his best, he can only focus on taking care of the few he likes the most.
The rest requires some ability to self-soothe.
It's easy to say that women who value his status, wealth, and even his appearance can be convinced with just a little gentleness.
What I fear the most is a self-respecting and self-reliant woman like Yuanyang.
Jia Lian knew that for such a fierce woman, even if she really likes you, if you ignore and despise her too much, she will really lose control.
of.
Of course Jia Lian didn't want this girl to turn from love to hatred for her. He was still thinking about the drama of "attacking the mandarin duck".
"Jealous?"
Yuanyang, who was originally unhappy because he saw Qingwen being intimate in Jia Lian's arms, immediately became fierce and angry when he heard Jia Lian's serious question.
"Who, who is jealous! The second master is getting more and more presumptuous. This is the old lady's yard after all. It's too disrespectful for you to be like this here with... and the maid."
Hearing the insincere words, Wang Gu explained his explanation. Jia Lian laughed, held the person in front of him in his arms domineeringly, and when she struggled, he lowered his head and kissed her hard on the face.
"Now, are you still angry?"
Yuanyang's face was warm and moist due to Jia Lian's kiss, and she could smell the strong man's sweat on Jia Lian's body. Her body was soft and she gave up struggling.
But Jia Lian wanted to ask like this, so she immediately pushed Jia Lian away and said angrily: "I just said you were so disrespectful, and you do this again. I know that the second master is more capable and more casual. He doesn't treat us maids as the same."
It’s nothing, just having fun.”
Yuanyang was not angry at first, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that the man she loved did not look at her more, but was intimate with the maid next to her under her nose.
But having said this, it is inevitable that I still feel a little bit sorry for myself.
"You still say that I am angry. How can we, a little maid, have the right to be angry with the second master? It is just to remind the second master to pay attention to the situation, so that others will not see the gossip about the second master.
It would be best if the Second Master can listen to me, but if he can't listen, I hope that the Second Master will be merciful and not be as knowledgeable as a little maid like me."
Jia Lian naturally understood Yuanyang's grievances. He had teased him a lot and taken advantage of him a lot. With Jia Mu's acquiescence, his fate was basically determined.
But because Jia Mu relied on her, she had to stay with Jia Mu and could not get close to him like Qingwen and others.
How can a girl who is pregnant with spring not feel resentful?
Jia Lian has faced too many similar situations, and he has a thousand ways to resolve Yuanyang's little grudges.
Coaxing is naturally the most commonly used and simplest method.
But Jia Lian has used this trick too much, and thinking about the situation that will happen more often in the future, relying on him to coax him every time is actually quite tiring.
Being with a beautiful woman should be wonderful, and he didn't want to be too tired.
Therefore, after listening to Yuanyang's complaints, Jia Lian sighed and said: "The external world is changing, many major events have happened, and I almost got stuck in it and couldn't get out.
After finally returning home, my tense heartstrings relaxed.
Do you have to be angry with me at this time?"
Yuanyang is a person carefully trained by Jia Mu, and he is very smart.
This is evident from the fact that as a child of a family, she is proficient in literature and can read and write.
If you had no talent, how could you be so appreciated by Jia Mu?
She had no way of knowing what major events had happened outside during this period, but she could get a glimpse of it just from the fact that the nine gates of the capital were closed a few days ago and the city was in chaos.
Reminiscent of the fact that Jia Lian was the leading general, and that the "emperor's grandson" suddenly spread in the city, Yuanyang, who was well versed in history and classics, suddenly realized the danger involved.
Looking at the tired look on Jia Lian's face when he said this, Yuanyang immediately felt regretful.
Although she thinks that her knowledge is not as short-sighted as that of ordinary women, she can be so confused sometimes.
My beloved man went through countless dangers and troubles outside, and finally came back. I didn't say that I could give him some tenderness, but I only made him unhappy because of trivial things.
How could I deserve his love like this?
Thinking of this, the shame on Yuanyang's face became heavier and heavier, and there were also a lot of worries.
Not only was she worried that Jia Lian would dislike her because of this, but more importantly, she was worried that Jia Lian would be in danger again.
"Are you... okay?"
Yuanyang wanted to apologize, but she was a little shy. After all, her relationship with Jia Lian had not been publicly acknowledged.
If you want to care about Jia Lian's external affairs, after all, you don't know anything and don't know how to care.
After hesitating for a long time, he only asked weakly.
But Jia Lian was already very satisfied.
Seeing the guilt and distress on Yuanyang's face, Jia Lian knew that this trick of turning against the guest was working.
Presumably, if a similar situation happens again in the future, Miss Yuanyang will never cause trouble to him.
In order to get over it once and for all, Jia Lian gently held Yuanyang in his arms again and said softly: "If I can get you to care about me, nothing in this world is worth fearing to me."
Yuanyang obediently buried her head in Jia Lian's chest.
In order to talk to Jia Lian, Mother Jia had sent away all the irrelevant people in Rongqing Hall. She knew that there was no one else in the backyard at this time.
However, Qingwen said that after reaching the end of the corridor, she did not immediately go forward to look for Xiangling, but hid in the corner to peek at the situation.
She usually has a good relationship with Yuanyang, and she is not afraid of him.
But when Yuanyang walked out of the back door just now, for some reason, the look in his eyes startled her.
If it were in another place, she wouldn't be frightened, and she might just stare back.
But at that time, she was afraid that Yuanyang would come to Jia Mu and accuse her of her treachery, so she walked away in despair at Yuanyang's words.
She vaguely understood why Yuanyang was causing trouble for her, so she hid in the dark and prepared to see what was going on.
When she saw Jia Lian holding Yuanyang in his arms and giving him a kiss, what else did she not understand?
Although she felt unhappy, she still murmured with some irony: "Is it in vain that you usually look shrewd and transparent, but you are still jealous of me? Since you have chosen to follow the second master, if you can't see through this, you will be sad in the future.
!”
Qingwen suddenly felt a little proud, because she found that she was not angry or jealous like a mandarin duck.
She didn't think she was a generous person. After thinking about it, she understood the core reason.
She is more beautiful than her!
Well, sister Yuanyang is still very beautiful, tall and slim, but if you look closely, she has some freckles on her handsome face. This is an indisputable fact.
In front of the good-looking second master, there is really nothing to be afraid of.
Qingwen was thinking about this with ecstasy. With her current status and vision, being better than other maids could not arouse her competitive spirit.
But Yuanyang is the leader in the maid world of the two houses. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the eldest sister of all their maids. When she first entered Jia's house, Yuanyang was already the leading celebrity around Jia's mother!
Qingwen is very happy to have her once-high-ranking eldest sister become her follower like Xiangling.
Although she has never read a book, the smart Qingwen naturally knows that when facing Yuanyang, she should not suppress but win over her, because they are in the same camp and class, and they should work together to deal with other camps and classes.
