A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 28: The Song of Love (1)
Yun Qianyue held her breath in her heart.Thinking of Yun Xianghe calling her an illiterate trash, and seeing Yun Muhan's serious appearance, can she tell him that she doesn't need to learn to read at all?Probably not.Such a painstaking cover-up has been ruined. How can she explain that she suddenly knows how to read?I was a little depressed in my heart, thinking that it was really a tiger in peace.

Not long after, Cailian brought rice paper and pens and inks, and Mother Zhao, Ting Yu and Ting Xue had already cleared the table.Cailian laid out the rice paper and began to grind the ink.

"It's a good ink." Yun Muhan praised Cailian.

"Before my father passed away, I was a teacher in a private school. The slaves used to serve father's pen and ink when they were not in the mansion. After my father left, the servants came in. I haven't studied ink for a long time, and my hands are rusty." Cailian said.

Yun Muhan nodded and said nothing more.

Yun Qianyue recalled that Cailian said that there was only one grandmother in her family when she first came here, she sighed in her heart, and it was hard for her to think about it.Presumably life is not easy, otherwise she would not be so happy just because she is in charge of the family.

Not long after, Cailian polished the ink and retreated to the side, Yun Muhan stood up, picked up the pen, and wrote on the rice paper.

Yun Qianyue looked at Yun Muhan, and saw that he was stroking his sleeve with one hand and writing with the other hand. The black handwriting was spread on the white paper and penetrated the back of the paper. A good word that people admire very much at first sight.

She suppressed the admiration in her eyes, thinking that at the Calligraphy Exhibition, she was naughty and went to the competition for a while, but she didn't expect to get the first one.But compared with the word Yun Muhan, she still lacked a bit of muscle and bone. Fortunately, she was still complacent for a few days at the time, and it was her mentor who taught her a lesson, and then suppressed her joy, saying that she It's just a piece of rotten wood, no matter how you carve it, you can't become a talent.She was dissatisfied, young and energetic, and worked harder from then on. After she finished her studies, she went to see the teacher, thinking that she would be praised by him, but unexpectedly, the old man glanced at her and said: "A master, never Don’t use external things as a capital to show off. Do you think you are the first? You don’t know that learning is endless, and a mountain is higher than a mountain.” From then on, she began to reflect on herself, stop being competitive, and calm down , Later, as expected, she stepped up to the high position of her dream step by step, but she was never complacent.

Thinking of this, Yun Qianyue was in a trance.It's only been two days, and those things seem to have become a thing of the past.

"Let's learn these first today. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it if there are too many." Yun Muhan wrote a sheet full of paper, put down the pen, and saw Yun Qianyue staring at his writing with a dazed expression, he couldn't help but startled.

Yun Qianyue immediately woke up, put away her dazed look, looked at the word with an irritable and strange mood, frowned at Yun Muhan and said: "There are so many, how can I learn it?"

"It's just a piece of paper, not much. I'll read it to you first." Yun Muhan shook his head.

Yun Qianyue nodded helplessly.It's just traditional Chinese characters in ancient times, but it doesn't bother her.I saw that the whole sheet of paper was full of people's names, the first name was Yunmeng, she scanned it roughly, and Cailian's name was also there, she still asked in a strange and disgusted way: "It's all written What? It looks so difficult."

"It's not difficult to learn." Yun Muhan pointed to the first name and said, "Yun Meng. This is Uncle Meng's name."

"Oh. Of course I know the word Yun. It turns out that the word Meng looks so ugly. Why did Uncle Meng call him such a name?" Yun Qianyue frowned, pointed at the word Meng and said, "Uncle Meng probably can't read."

"Uncle Meng is not only literate, but also well-read poetry and books." Yun Muhan said.

"That's because his father is illiterate, otherwise why would he be given this name, it's so ugly." Yun Qianyue said.

"Uncle Meng's father used to be an official in charge of the Taishi Ling and was responsible for compiling the annals of the Heavenly Sage. How could he be illiterate?" Yun Muhan raised his eyebrows.

"Then his grandfather named him. His grandfather is illiterate." Yun Qianyue said again.

"His grandfather used to pay homage to the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and then he died as a result of the collapse of the previous dynasty. Do you think there will be an illiterate prime minister?" Yun Muhan raised his eyebrows again.

Yun Qianyue didn't expect that Yunmeng had such a big background, and said, "I really can't see it. Then why does he want to be a housekeeper in our mansion?"

"Grandpa saved him back then, so he was willing to follow grandpa. Don't you talk too much?" Yun Muhan frowned.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, just tell me." Yun Qianyue covered her mouth, her eyes rolled around, thinking about it.

Yun Muhan's eyes were fixed on Yun Qianyue's hand covering her mouth, that hand was white and petite, like a piece of white jade.He raised his eyes slightly, and saw her eyeballs were rolling around, they were extremely agile, her brows were not as gloomy as before, and her temperament was elegant. He couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, retracted his gaze, and pointed to the next name, "This is Jade. bracelet."

Yun Qianyue covered her mouth and nodded. The jade bracelet is the big maid next to the old prince.

"This is Lin Shu."

Who is Lin Shu?Yun Qianyue thought that if she was mentioned in the front row, she should be a prominent figure in the mansion.

"He is the long-term follower of the father." Yun Muhan explained helplessly.

Yun Qianyue let out a cry.

"It's a green branch."

Who is Green Branch?Yun Qianyue looked incomprehensible.

"Lu Zhi is father's personal servant Mo." Yun Muhan explained again.

Serving ink is a job?Yun Qianyue still looked at Yun Muhan incomprehensibly.

Yun Muhan's calm face was finally stained with helplessness, "I really wonder if you have lived in this mansion all these years, why don't even the people in the mansion know about it, and you don't know about Shi Mo?"

Yun Qianyue covered her mouth and muttered twice.

"I didn't stop you from talking." Yun Muhan was a little speechless.

Yun Qianyue thought that this person was finally no longer so indifferent that she was about to leave, she took her hand away, and immediately retorted: "It's not like you don't know that I have been chasing Ye Tianqing all these years, how can I care about it?" Others? I'm not close to my father, so I don't know what's so strange about the people around him? There are so many servants in this mansion, how can I remember their names? I still can't recognize the people in my own yard. "

"What you said makes sense, but I was negligent. Shi Mo is the woman who waits on the pen and ink by the father's side." Yun Muhan nodded and explained.

"Tong Fang?" Yun Qianyue was startled, she knew that all the masters and sons of the ancient people had Tong Fang, so she couldn't help looking at Yun Muhan, "You also have Tong Fang?"

Yun Muhan's calm face darkened, "I don't have a roommate."

"Oh, so there is a concubine? I have a sister-in-law? Big sister-in-law? Little sister-in-law?" Yun Qianyue continued to look at Yun Muhan.

"I don't have a concubine either. If you're not married, how can you have a sister-in-law?" Yun Muhan scowled.

"Oh, then you also have Shimo? Since this Shimo is not Tongfang, what is it? A bed warmer?" Yun Qianyue asked again.

Yun Muhan suddenly stared at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue took a step back in fright, and smiled, "Okay, I won't ask anymore, you can have whatever you like."

Yun Muhan looked at Yun Qianyue, seemed to take a deep breath, turned his head and stopped looking at her, and said lightly: "I have nothing, and neither does Shimo. Shimo is a woman who specializes in serving the calligraphy and painting in the father's study. The father and the king make memorials and walk and other things, which are different from the aunts, concubines, and Tongfang in the mansion, but the unique existence beside the father, which can also be said to be the female long follower."

Yun Qianyue suddenly realized that it was the secretary.It seems that Lu Zhi's servant Mo, who is the prince, must be a talented woman.She couldn't help looking at Yun Muhan suspiciously, "Since it's so easy to use, why don't you have it?"

"No need." Yun Muhan said three words with a straight face.

Yun Qianyue shut her mouth knowingly.

Yun Muhan pointed to the names below, "This is Hongmei, this is Haitang, the two maidservants next to Third Auntie, who take care of her daily life. This is Grandma Guan, the dowry maid of Third Auntie. This is Cui Son, the second-class maid of the third concubine, in charge of some trivial matters in the courtyard of the third concubine, this is Lier, the third-class maid of the third concubine, in charge of washing..."

Yun Muhan pointed down by one's name, explaining while pointing.

Yun Qianyue looked at Yun Muhan, and asked in admiration when he paused: "Brother, are you too good? Are you just staring at Third Auntie for nothing? Even a little slugger next to her You know everything, girl. Is Third Aunt beautiful? Or are the maids in her yard all beautiful? Or..."

"Yun Qianyue!" Yun Muhan suddenly looked at her coldly, and stopped in a deep voice.

Yun Qianyue immediately stopped.

"If you want to be in charge of the house, you have to know how many people there are in the mansion, and more importantly, how many people are there in each courtyard, and what does everyone do, otherwise how can you be in charge of the house? Two noble concubines who are more favored by the father. Do you think you should know the affairs and people in their courtyard?" Yun Muhan looked at Yun Qianyue with a sullen face.

Yun Qianyue smiled embarrassedly, "So that's the case, no wonder you know so well."

Yun Muhan turned his head and stopped looking at her.

Yun Qianyue looked at Yun Muhan's face.Her elder brother looks calm, but he is so easy to get angry.What if she added another fire?Thinking of this, she immediately said: "This is indeed what the head of the house should learn, but I don't understand it. Since you understand so well and know everything, what else do you teach me? Why don't you just run the house yourself?" ?”

"I'm a man, how can I take care of the affairs of the backyard?" Yun Muhan lowered his face.

"Men can also be housekeepers. Don't you think Uncle Meng is the chief housekeeper of our house?" Yun Qianyue stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Yun Muhan's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother, it's good to learn this thing anyway. Difficult, I won’t learn, you can take over the house, okay? Anyway, you are the son of the prince, and the entire Yunwang Mansion will be yours in the future. Your head just happens to hold the backyard in your hands. In the future, your woman will come in and take over. Now that you have taught me so hard, I can’t take care of the family for a few days. Anyway, I’m going to get married. It’s useless if you teach it. It’s better not to teach it. If you don’t teach it, you don’t have to work so hard. You don't need to ask the emperor for leave, you can still..."

"Are you finished? Let me go immediately after you finish speaking." Yun Mu looked at Yun Qianyue coldly.

Yun Qianyue trembled, but she still didn't let go, and continued: "You also know that I am not that material, so don't learn it, okay? This thing is really not done by people. I think I will start to grow old before I learn it. How old are you? If you really learn how to run the house, you will probably lose several years of life. You can tell your grandfather and father that you can get the best of both worlds. By the way, are you engaged? Which lady? She will be the head of the house Is it? If yes, that’s fine, I’ll go and call her to be the head of our house in advance; if not, then you can teach her, she..."

"Shut up!" Yun Muhan suddenly shouted angrily, waved Yun Qianyue away, and walked out the door.

The cyan brocade robe was like the wind, and he couldn't see how fast he was. He opened the door and rushed out of Qianyue Pavilion in a blink of an eye.Until he left, it seemed that there was still a cool wind blowing behind him.

This is called getting angry from embarrassment?
Yun Qianyue watched the bead curtain shaking at the door, and the hula-la-la-la-la sound seemed to indicate that the person was extremely angry.She blinked and suddenly laughed.At first he kept his voice low, but after seeing Yun Muhan's figure disappearing in Qianyue Pavilion, he no longer had any scruples.

"Miss, what did you do to drive the prince away?" Cailian was the first to rush in, her face turned pale.

"That's right, miss, the old slave's face turned black when he saw the prince go out, which has never happened before." Zhao's mother also followed in nervously.
