Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 21

Ye Song raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled coldly against Lingyue's ear: "You want to play with me, this good show is just beginning, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lingyue shook her head desperately, her eyes kept glancing into the lake, and she was really scared.She struggled hard, Peiqing saw Ye Song like this and also went all out, it was Nan's master and servant who bullied too much, so don't blame them for staying with them to the end.So Peiqing hurried over to help, and restrained Lingyue.

The South Pivot in the water frightened the fish.Suddenly she emerged from the lake, her body was struggling in the water, she raised her eyes suddenly, and saw that Lingyue in the gazebo was not shouting or screaming, it turned out that Ye Song and Pei Qing had covered her mouth, her face became paler immediately, and she let out a low voice. A weak cry for help, gasping for help, seemingly unable to swim, then sank again, she was up and down like that, slowly becoming powerless.

Lingyue wept bitterly.In the end, Nan Shu sank and never came up again. Ye Song turned to the edge of the gazebo, turned his head to Pei Qing and said, "Pei Qing, let her go and let her scream as much as she wants." He jumped into the water resolutely, and disappeared with another plop.

At this time, Lingyue had the opportunity to scream heart-piercingly: "Come on! Come on! Madam fell into the water!"

For Ye Song, who grew up on the banks of the Yangtze River, catching someone in the water was nothing.When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she even picked up drowned corpses in the Yangtze River.

At this moment, she is like a nimble fish, her light white clothes bloom layer by layer in the water like a beautiful white peony, and her thick black hair is as beautiful as splashed ink in the water.She saw that Nanshu was sinking to the bottom of the lake little by little, so she swam over at a faster speed, picked up Nanshu's body and tried her best to float up.

The lake doesn't look big, but it's quite deep.It was very difficult for her to surface. Fortunately, the servants of the mansion came in time, and fortunately, Su Chen came back early today. As soon as he arrived at the house, someone would rush to tell him about Mrs. Nan's situation.

Therefore, when Ye Song was about to lose strength, the family servants went into the water to help, and Su Chen also went into the water himself. He moved faster than anyone else, and when Ye Song floated up and was about to sink, he grabbed her and held Ye Song with his hands. Song's waist brought Ye Song and Nanshu out of the water.

Ye Song's face was full of water, his whole body was soaked, and he had no image at all.The servants avoided one after another, and the servant girls surrounded her.When she saw Su Chen, she was taken aback for a moment, the water droplets made her face more crystal clear, without even a trace of makeup, she tilted her head and took a sip of water in an inelegant way, and said meaninglessly: "What a coincidence."

Su Chen's expression was not very good, he took Nan Shu from Ye Song's hand and placed it on the grass by the bank.Nan Shu's face was as white as ice-cold snow, Su Chen was a little panicked, and quickly pressed Nan Shu's abdomen, breathing for her.After more than ten rounds, Nanshu finally raised his brows, turned his head and spit out a big mouthful of water.

"Shu'er, Shu'er." Su Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and hugged Nan Shu into his arms.Nanshu wept bitterly.

At this time, Ye Song looked angry, and hurriedly walked in front of Lingyue, looked at Lingyue who was stunned and crying silently, suddenly raised his hands, and slapped Lingyue on both sides of the face twice with force.Ye Song's hands were numb from fanning, Lingyue must be in pain, she knelt down on the ground.

She was so frightened that she couldn't say a word, she only knew how to cry.

Ye Song shouted angrily: "You bastard! How did you take care of your wife? You let her sit by the gazebo alone when you knew she was weak! If something happened to her, you thought you, a lowly maid, would be able to make up for it!" Can you afford it! Fortunately, I came to the rescue in time this time, and my wife was able to save one life, otherwise you would die with ten lives! You can't even take care of your wife, so what's the use of the prince keeping you! "

Not only Lingyue was dumbfounded, but Nanshu was also dumbfounded.Now there are so many witnesses, even Su Chen is one of them, they didn't see Ye Song pushing her into the water, but saw Ye Song struggling to save her, Lingyue even lost the opportunity to speak , what else can she say, can she lie on Ye Song's head with red lips and white teeth?
Nan Shu just cried and shook his head, resting his pillow on Su Chen's chest.Su Chen only thought that she was unable to speak.

The maid stepped forward in time to hand over a cloak.Su Chen wrapped Nan Shu up carefully and gently, and signaled the servant girl to send another cloak to Ye Song.Pei Qing took it and quickly put it on for her own lady. Her hand tying the belt was still shaking slightly, maybe it was nervousness or excitement, she had never encountered such a thrilling thing.

Su Chen frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Nan Shu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Pei Qing was also very excited. He calmed down and came out in a timely manner, lowering his eyebrows and saying: "Return to the lord, Mrs. Nan has set up tea in the pavilion to invite the lady to come over and have a talk, and the maidservant will follow the lady." When I came over, I happened to see Mrs. Nan feeding the fish by the side of the pavilion. The servant felt that it was dangerous, but Lingyue just stood aside and ignored it. Before the servant came to remind me, Madam fell into the water."

Su Chen's eyes fell on the trembling Lingyue, and from time to time, he moved up and landed on Ye Song slightly, with a trace of exploration and suspicion.

But Ye Song is not a freelancer either, he acted well and cooperated with Peiqing so well that no one could find the slightest flaw.In addition, Lingyue didn't deny it, Su Chen still believed more, and had no feelings for Lingyue.

Ye Song kicked Lingyue, and said again: "Bold maidservant, don't hesitate to apologize to Madam!"

"It's not me...it's not me..." Lingyue has never encountered such a battle, she was so frightened, she knelt on the ground, and denied it incoherently, "It's not that I don't care about Madam...it's Madam who doesn't want me to care ...don't care about me..."

Ye Song was even angrier: "If I don't let you care, if I don't let you care, then what's the use of having you as a servant girl! Don't let you care if it's possible that Mrs. Cheng still thinks about jumping into the lake on purpose!"

Nan Shu never raised his eyes to look at Ye Song who was burning with anger, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or guilty.She grabbed Su Chen's skirt tightly, interrupted Ye Song's angry words, and tremblingly said: "My lord...I'm cold..."

Su Chen didn't dare to delay any longer, picked up Nanshu and went back to Fangfei Garden.

Ye Song asked at the right time from behind him: "My lord, there is still a lowly maid here."

Su Chen casually said coldly: "Do whatever you want."

Nanshu hugged Su Chen's waist tightly, and begged in a low voice: "My lord, Lingyue is unintentional, please forgive her this time..."

Su Chen was a little helpless: "You are always so kind, you beg for mercy, you beg for mercy, look at you, you made yourself like this." But in the end he still complied with Nanshu and spared Lingyue's life, "You poor servant girl... Yue, if the protector is weak, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped."

After Su Chen left, there were only a group of maids and the collapsed Lingyue left by the lake.Ye Song tightened his cloak and shivered against the wind. When the servant girl asked her what to do with Lingyue, she cheered up and hurried back with Peiqing, and said casually: "The prince said that capital crimes are inevitable, but he didn't say anything specifically. How to deal with it, if the punishment is heavy, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the tenderness, so just give her a [-]-billion board and recuperate well."

The news of Nanshu falling into the water spread quickly in the palace. When Ye Song and Peiqing returned to Bihuayuan, the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they were all worried. When it fell on Ye Song's head, I don't know how Su Chen will make trouble.

As a result, the four maids were shocked when Song Ye Song came back.

The prince actually let the princess back?It's amazing!
Don't think it's going to be summer in this season, but the lake is still cool and quiet, so it's not easy to go down.Ye Song rubbed his nose, sneezed, and muttered, "It's so fucking cold."

Seeing that everyone was stupefied, Pei Qing said anxiously: "What are you doing, the lady has caught a cold, hurry up and prepare hot soup to take a bath, ginger soup to drive away the cold!"

Ye Song took a comfortable hot bath, drank a bowl of thick ginger soup, and then fell into bed and fell asleep.Several people were dumbfounded, and Pei Qing, who helped Ye Song tuck the quilt up, was still in shock.

The four spring, summer, autumn and winter sisters pulled Pei Qing aside, and asked gossipingly, "What's the trick of the Nan clan falling into the water? Why did the princess get wet too? Could it be that the princess was pushed into the water by the Nan clan? Did the prince blame the princess?"

Pei Qing gave them a white look, and roughly said: "The Nan family fell into the water, it was the young lady who went down to save her. No matter how mad the prince is, he can't distinguish between black and white, right?"

She did not say in detail.Apart from the trusted people around them, the less they know about this kind of life-threatening fighting method, the better, and the safer it is for them.

Ye Song felt a little sorry when he heard that Lingyue was beaten half to death by those thirty big boards. Nanshu caught cold and was still bedridden, so she naturally took over the settlement.She gave Lingyue two months of sick leave, transferred away from Nanshu's side, went to the middle courtyard to be a bedridden maid, and personally selected two smart and hardworking maids, and sent them to Fangfeiyuan on this day.

Ye Song entered Fangfei Garden for the first time, and he sighed that different people are treated differently.Fangfei Garden is very large, divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, and the environment is good. There are two particularly beautiful blood-colored crabapples along the corridor. It seems that Nanshu really likes the crabapple.

Ye Song felt that she also liked Haitang a little bit, probably because Nan Shu liked it.

She took the girl into Nan Shu's room, Nan Shu's face was still pale, seeing Ye Songlai smiling weakly and reluctantly, he got up and prepared to greet her: "Sister is here."

Ye Song hurriedly said considerately: "Sister, don't move around, she's not feeling well, lie down quickly."

She also ordered Peiqing to bring a bowl of finely boiled bird's nest, and helped Nanshu get up, and leaned on the cushions for Nanshu. She was considerate and thoughtful in every way, and she really looked like a sister who took care of her younger sister.Ye Song said: "Look at you, this disease won't get better for a long time, how can it go on like this. Come on, my sister also stewed bird's nest for you, and specially let the servants in the kitchen try it, and they all said it tastes good , try it."

This seems to be easy to say.The subtext of Ye Song's words was to remind Nan Shu that there would be no problem with this bowl of bird's nest, someone had already tried it, and if Nan Shu felt any discomfort later, it had nothing to do with her.All the maids present heard this and can testify.

Ye Song didn't ask Nan Shu to pick her up, but took a spoon and fed her one spoon at a time.Nan Shu's eyes slowly turned red, and he said, "Thank you, sister."

Ye Song sighed: "What are you and my sister's family thanking you for? You have always been weak, so you should pay more attention to it. It's only because that girl Lingyue is really useless this time. She made you like this. The prince is willing to save her life." It's very kind."

Nanshu looked at Ye Song anxiously, and asked, "Lingyue...how is she?"

"Look at you, you still worry about others when you're like this." Ye Songdao, "Don't worry, she still has her life, but I'm afraid she won't be able to serve my sister anymore in the past one or two months. I sent two caring ones to come over to serve my sister. Lingyue made such a big mistake this time, the prince will definitely not rest assured that she will continue to serve you in the future."

The corners of Nanshu's eyes were filled with tears, "No, Lingyue is the maid I brought into the palace, she served very well. It's all my fault, it hurt her."

"If I knew it, why did I do it in the first place?" Seeing Nanshu's shoulders trembling slightly, Ye Song said softly, "Sister, don't think so much, it's important to take care of yourself first. In the future, as long as my sister is willing to listen to the prince, I will trust him." It will also soften your heart.”

Ye Song Fu Nanshu lay down, and then carefully instructed the two new maids about some related matters, and then left Fangfei Garden.

Peiqing didn't say a word when she was in Fangfeiyuan, and she did what Ye Song told her.After leaving Fangfei Garden, she couldn't help but said in a soft voice: "If the lady wants to compete for favor soon, then the Nan family will not bully the lady so arrogantly."

Ye Song glanced at her, and said leisurely: "Now you miss, I have never thought of fighting for favor, even that bitch Su Chen is not worthy of me. The man I want in the future will definitely not give favors to others and let me go It’s just that the current situation is like this, people respect me a foot, and I return another foot.”

It was still early when we returned to Bihuayuan, Ye Song waved his hands and said boredly: "What should we do this morning?" After thinking about it, he smiled and told Peiqing, "Go and ask Miss Chun, last time they were Which pawn shop is the jewelry at?"

Pei Qing went to ask, and when she came back, Ye Song had already changed into a simple white sarong, which was decorated with white gauze, adding a touch of elegance without looking cumbersome.Ye Song was sitting in front of the bronze mirror with her long hair loose, trying to pull it into a bun that would not collapse. Obviously, she had tried several times but failed.Seeing Peiqing come back, Ye Song said: "Come here quickly, help me tidy up this hair, don't make it too complicated, keep it simple."

Peiqing pulled Ye Song's hair deftly, with a small white hairpin, which looked graceful.Especially when Ye Song raised his eyebrows slightly in front of the bronze mirror, he had a style of his own.Pei Qing asked: "Miss, are you going...to leave the palace?"

Ye Song said: "I've wanted to go out for a long time, did Miss Chun find out?"

"Chunchun said, it's at the biggest Jinxian pawnshop in the capital." Peiqing's eyes showed hope, "Miss, is she going out alone, that slave..."

Ye Song looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Why don't you change your clothes soon?"

Peiqing went to change her clothes happily.

After a while, the master and servant went into battle, Pei Qing was carrying a stack of bank notes, while Ye Song was carrying a white jade pendant with unicorn and fire patterns, and they walked towards the main entrance of the palace openly.The guard who guarded the gate stepped forward dutifully, Ye Song held the white jade pendant and shook it slowly in front of the guard, saying: "Keep your eyes open to see clearly, this princess has obtained the permission of the prince, and now I want to go out of the mansion, who of you Dare to stop it?"

No one can stop it.That white jade pendant is a royal property, the status symbol of King Ning Su Chen.Now that the white jade pendant was in Ye Song's hands, the two guards saw the object as if they were a prince, and hurriedly bowed and pushed it away, making way for Ye Song.

Ye Song put away Bai Yupei and left with Pei Qing.Of course, she didn't know the importance of this white jade pendant at all, she only knew that it was Su Chen's personal thing and it should have a deterrent effect.Looking at the effect, it is surprisingly good.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the palace, walked out of the bright and clean bluestone alley, standing under two sycamore trees, with the faint fragrance of sycamore flowers in the air, Ye Song stretched his arms, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Free air is so damn good!" It's so fresh!"

Pei Qing also took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, it's so fucking fresh!"

There is a long street connected to the alley, probably because this is Prince Ning's Mansion, so the street is quite quiet.After the two of them turned the corner and entered another street, the situation was quite different.Pedestrians come and go on the street, and hawkers on both sides are competing to shout, which is very lively.

Ye Song came to this ancient market for the first time, and she could only see it on TV in the past. How can she not be curious when she visits it in person? As for Pei Qing, she followed Ye Song, the lady in the general's mansion, since she was a child. Most of the time, I spend time with my lady in the deep boudoir, and rarely have the opportunity to visit the market.As a result, the two of them were very rare in the street stalls and were infected by the lively atmosphere on the street, so they didn't bother to ask for directions to find that Jin Xian's pawnshop, so they simply went shopping first.

After walking along this road, I would play two games with those who had never played before. Even Ye Song, a young boy in the gambling shop who was soliciting gamblers at the door, was almost fooled into it. Fortunately, Pei Qing grabbed her in time and whispered: "Miss , This gambling house is very chaotic, and it's all played by men."

Ye Song thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "You're right, I don't know how to gamble, and I can only be fooled if I go in." So he turned his head and went elsewhere.

The two of them had to eat two plates when they encountered something they hadn't eaten before. At the end of the street, both of them were stuffed with food.Fortunately, Ye Song still remembered that they had business to do when they came out, and no matter how much they liked, they just fumbled and bought them without big bags. Otherwise, wouldn't they be exhausted walking around the streets in a while?
After finding out that Jinxian's pawn shop is in Luojia Lane, Ye Song and Pei Qing walked into Luojia Lane shyly.Although this place is a little claustrophobic, it doesn't seem to affect the business of the largest pawnshop in the capital at all. Not far away is a big signboard with the words "Jinxian Pawnshop" written in glittering gold. Usually, there are those who pawn things, and those who redeem or buy things.
