Wang Xifeng's chatter and laughter couldn't help but come from the main room, and it was obvious that she was having a lively chat with Yuanyang.
Jia Lian couldn't help but raise his eyes from the book, glanced out the window, shook his head and smiled:
I don’t know how many faces this Sister Feng has.
One moment she is a powerful and eloquent domineering woman, and the next moment she is a lively little cutie who can do tricks and act cute.
When you scold someone, you will see blood, but when you coax people, you will make trouble.
He can act vigorously and resolutely, and speak without hesitation, but in the blink of an eye he can be charming and charming. The seamless connection between them is dizzying.
If you marry such a woman and come home, the incompetent man will really be unable to control her.
It seems that I am the one who has the ability.
.
Qingwen poured the tea and brought it over. When she saw Jia Lian's smile, she pouted:
"Just now she was making a fuss like she was trying to eat someone. Now she seems to be fine. I have never seen such a two-faced person."
Jia Lian glanced sideways at Qingwen, raised a finger and hit her on the head:
"It's okay in front of me. You can't be so unruly in front of outsiders.
In this house, you are not allowed to talk about your master like this. If others hear it, I can't protect you."
Qingwen said "ouch", covered her head with one hand, stamped her feet and said coquettishly:
"If someone remembers it, why hit them on the head?"
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"I love you because I'm afraid that if you don't know the bounds of heaven and earth, and talk too fast because of your temper, then the housekeepers and grandmothers will find out and slap you in the face."
After that, continue reading without saying any more words.
Qingwen lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked in a low voice:
"I know the second master is doing it for my own good, but...when I grow up, will the second master really marry me?"
Jia Lian looked up and looked at the serious expression on her face, and couldn't help but smile:
"I won't guarantee you this.
I can only promise that I will never touch you before I marry you.
Although I keep you by my side, if you become as virtuous as Aunt Zhao, and don’t know how to respect yourself, what is important, or what the overall situation is, even if you are born to be like a fairy, I will not want you.”
Qingwen let out a soft "hum" and tapped her slender jade finger towards the place where Wang Xifeng's laughter came from:
"Is Aunt Zhao more aggressive than her?"
Jia Lian reached out and hit her on the head again, three points harder than before:
"This girl looks smarter than a pig. How come she remembers to eat but not to fight?"
"Ouch, it hurts."
Qingwen covered her head with both hands. Fortunately, the "ouch" sound was not loud, nor was it three points louder than before.
"I just ask, I just don't ask anymore."
Jia Lian looked at her like a little girl and felt pity in his heart:
"I didn't choose her, I chose you, so you can't become something I don't want to see, do you understand?"
Qingwen immediately blushed, pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded vigorously.
.
After about a cup of tea, the door to the main room opened and Wang Xifeng's laughing voice came:
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?
Although there are many people in the old lady's room, you are the only one who looks after her. The other old ladies look down on you, and you really can't live without you.
It’s so easy to get some free time today, why don’t you sit down for a while?
I often hear Ping'er tell me, "Yuanyang, you are always thinking about me behind my back, and you often ask me questions. I know this is your intention and the affection between us."
Although Yuanyang is the maid next to the old lady, after all, there is a difference between master and servant. She quickly stopped Sister Feng who was escorting her out and said:
"No matter how busy we are, we are never as busy as Second Grandma. Today I came because I asked Second Grandma to come back at this hour.
The old lady is still waiting for a reply, so I don’t dare to delay."
Sister Feng heard this and said with a smile:
"Oh, since you said that, I don't dare to hold you back any longer.
Please help me get back to the old lady and ask her to rest assured. I am the most obedient and sensible person. How dare I disobey the old lady's instructions?
But you have to come and sit here often when you have free time. Let’s talk and I’ll be happy too.”
After that, he turned around and called Ping'er with a smile: "Come, go see your sister off."
Ping'er agreed to send Yuanyang out.
When Sister Feng saw Yuanyang leaving the courtyard, her face instantly sank, and she turned around and returned to the main room.
.
Jia Lian watched from the window, knowing that the matter could not be let go, so he remained silent and just waited for her to take action.
After Ping'er came back from sending the mandarin ducks, he entered the main room again.
After a while, I saw Sister Feng coming to the study with Ping'er. She walked in and said:
"Since this little girl belongs to the old lady's house, naturally she can't treat her badly. She turned to Ping'er and said:
"Asking her to live in the same house with you is not a bad treatment."
She was afraid that Jia Lian had something to do with this girl, so she ordered Ping'er to keep an eye on Qingwen every day so that Jia Lian couldn't get her hands on her.
Qingwen had already received Jia Lian's instructions, and said "yes" in a polite manner, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Jia Lian just smiled and looked at it without saying a word.
When Wang Xifeng saw that no one was talking to her, she said to Qingwen:
"Since you only serve the pen and ink, and serve the tea and water, you can only serve in this room. You don't need to go into other rooms."
Qingwen still just lowered her head and responded.
Sister Feng glanced at Jia Lian and saw his understanding smile, but she felt a little unsure. But she had a strong temper, so she rolled her eyes and said:
"The old lady said you are good at sewing. I have a pair of shoes here for you to make. I'll ask Ping'er to bring them to you tomorrow."
Jia Lian closed the book, his smile not diminishing:
"What I just said makes sense, but asking her to make shoes is inappropriate."
He stood up and told Qingwen:
"Second Grandma just said that you will serve the pen and ink in this room. You are not needed for anything else. When you have free time, you can still do the needlework in the old lady's room.
Starting from tomorrow, I will sort out all the books in my study and make a list of them. If you don’t know the words, I will call Suming to teach you.
Also, move into Ping'er's house and show Ping'er carefully all the things you brought with you. Don't let people say you brought anything with you, and don't let people misunderstand that you stole anything."
After that, he walked towards Wang Xifeng and said warmly:
"As a sensible person, you should naturally understand what the old lady means. You have been worrying so much all day long, why don't you know your top priority?"
Wang Xifeng Danfeng’s eyes squinted:
"Why am I worrying so blindly? I naturally know how to worry about my own affairs."
Jia Lian walked to her side and whispered in Wang Xifeng's ear:
"Having no children is the first of seven births.
The old lady sent someone here and specially asked Yuanyang to come over and give you instructions. She is giving you a warning."
Wang Xifeng's expression changed, and her aura instantly collapsed.
Jia Lian walked past Wang Xifeng, turned back and said:
"Let's go back to the house with me. I have to worry about your 'own affairs' for you."
He deliberately emphasized the tone of "his own affairs". Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still stunned in shock and anger, he shook his head, turned around and went back to the upper room.
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a long time, then suddenly punched the wall next to her and said:
"Ping'er, let's go."
He quickly walked into the main room and left.
Ping'er whispered to Qingwen, "I'll take you back to the house when I come back," and then hurried away after Sister Feng.
.
Qingwen was the only one left in the room. She looked at the flickering candlelight and quietly packed up Jia Lian's books.
Thinking back to what Jia Lian had just told him, he actually defended himself every word of it. He especially reminded himself to be on guard against someone "misunderstanding what you stole." What he wanted to talk about was Sister Feng's tactics to deal with him.
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, thinking that I might be plotted against in the future.
