Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 33 Looking for Opportunities

The closer you are to Pei Jinghan, the more you can feel his dissatisfaction.

But Ning Xiang couldn't think of where she had offended him when she came back, and said goodbye to him before going home, he was still very pleasant, he couldn't remember the hatred that she ate garlic for ruining his interest after a night, right?

"My lord, I'm back." Ning Xiang said with downcast eyes as she stopped anxiously in front of the steps of the study door.

Pei Jinghan pursed his thin lips lightly, and looked at her with a frown. She was dressed in old clothes, if she wasn't fair and beautiful, she would be a village girl.

"Why is your face dark?"

Looking around, Pei Jinghan stared at the face of his favorite little girl, and keenly noticed something strange.

In fact, Ningxiang only did farm work for half a day, including a day and a half in the sun on the way back and forth. There is almost no difference in skin color, but Pei Jinghan has been pampered since he was a child, and everything around him is exquisite. For him, Ningxiang is a piece Meiyu, even if there is a slight change in the color of the jade, he can still see it.

Ning Xiang was stunned, why didn't she feel that she was black?
"Going to work in the fields?" Pei Jinghan asked.

His tone was not kind, as if she had to ask him for instructions before doing anything, Ning Xiang pursed her lips, stared at the hem of his clothes and replied, "The family farmed the land, and I helped for half a day." She was his maid in the Hou Mansion, and she took good care of him It's her duty, she is a girl from the Xu family when she goes home, she can do whatever she wants, why should he care?Including her face, if it gets tanned, it will make this person disgusted, and she will be exposed to the sun every day in the future.

Perhaps because of the lessons of her previous life, knowing that Pei Jinghan would not let her go no matter how obedient she was, Ning Xiang became more courageous when facing Pei Jinghan.Although she was still afraid that he would bully others, Ning Xiang didn't want to blindly follow him in matters like this one where he was too lenient.

However, Ningxiang thought she was very brave, and the way she answered with downcast eyes was still timid in Pei Jinghan's eyes.

Not wanting to scare her as soon as he came back, Pei Jinghan said in a calm tone: "Okay, stop working in the fields from now on, you are a girl, you don't look good when you get tanned, why did you come back so late today?" He returned about two quarters of an hour later than usual .

Thinking of Lu Cheng, Ning Xiang felt a little guilty.

You can't tell the truth, so what excuse should you make?

While secretly worrying, Su Yue suddenly came out from the main room, holding a handful of melon seeds, she sized up the two of them with a smile while eating the melon seeds, and finally looked at Pei Jinghan and said: "The words in the words are 'washing up, alone' Leaning on the river tower', our son is "reading, the jade steps are empty", Ningxiang, why are you nervous, the son misses you, so I hope you will come back soon."

Ningxiang faintly felt that the two sentences Suyue read were a bit familiar, and then she heard Suyue say that Pei Jinghan missed her so directly, Ningxiang blushed with embarrassment, she didn't dare to see what Pei Jinghan's expression was, and she said angrily to Suyue. Said: "I'll put things away first, and I'll come back later to serve the prince."

Carrying the baggage, he hurried to the ear room.

Su Yue watched her off with a smile, her beautiful eyes swept over Pei Jinghan, and then turned back to the main room.

Just sitting down at the table with thin-necked vases from Ding Kiln, when the door was dark, Pei Jinghan walked in.

Su Yue pretended not to see, and continued to eat melon seeds.

Pei Jinghan sat down opposite her, and said with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

Su Yue snorted softly, looked at the door and said, "Your Majesty's nose is not working well, why don't I smell sour."

The little maid spoke rudely, but Pei Jinghan's smile deepened, and he explained softly: "Ningxiang came home late suddenly, so I have to worry about her accident. If it were you, I would also miss you."

Su Yue squinted at him, her eyes met, as if she couldn't hold it anymore, she smiled lightly, and said playfully: "Who wouldn't say nice words, someday I really go out and come back late on purpose to see the prince Will you miss it?"

The little girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, and her smile is more charming than the pink roses in the vase.

Pei Jinghan looked at it with a smile.He likes Ningxiang's gentleness and shyness, and also likes Suyue's lively and playful. They are also the two maids he is most satisfied with. The most rare thing is that the second daughter loves the same sisters. Knowing how to eat condensed vinegar, he was completely relieved.

"By the way, tell me the two sentences you read just now." Pei Jinghan asked with interest as he poured himself a bowl of tea.

"Fashion and wash up, and lean on the river tower alone?" Su Yue thought for a while and asked in a soft voice.

Pei Jinghan nodded, and said casually: "The words are good, where did you read them? Do you remember the whole words?"

Why doesn't Su Yue remember?
In her previous life, the cousin girl Shen Youyou came to the Hou's mansion as a guest, and she also brought a few poems written by herself. The old lady and his wife praised them after reading them, and even the Marquis Pei Zheng was full of praise. , Shen Youyou's reputation as a talented woman quickly spread throughout Tai'an Mansion.

Pei Jinghan practiced martial arts, but he was also a son of an aristocratic family with a lot of good books in his study, so he naturally appreciated Shen Youyou's talent.Before Shen Youyou left Hou's mansion after being a guest, she gave Pei Jinghan a book of her poems. Pei Jinghan often read it, and Su Yue would always remember him lying lazily on the couch, looking at the book, with longing in his eyes.

At that time, Su Yue only had envy for Shen Youyou.

Perhaps Shen Youyou's good status is innate, but her talent is her own, and she is just a little maid, not even qualified to be jealous of Shen Youyou.

It wasn't until her hands and feet were tied and she stared at Shen Youyou with resentment that the woman came to her ear and said a few words lightly, saying that those poems were written by others, and she only borrowed them to win Pei Jinghan's favor. And sarcastically asked her to inform Pei Jinghan.

Shen Youyou really knows how to irritate people.

If she doesn't tell the truth, Su Yue will only hate her for being ruthless. After she said it, Su Yue's hatred becomes more reconciled, unwilling to lose to a hypocritical liar.Wouldn't it be more painful than pure hatred to be unwilling but powerless?

Fortunately, God also took pity on her and gave her a chance to do it again.

Su Yue put the melon seeds in her hand back into the plate, thought about it seriously, and recited the two poems in a stumbling manner.Out of endless envy, Suyue can recite the poems written by Shen Youyou, but she is just a maid, if she recites them too fluently, Pei Jinghan will wonder why she suddenly became interested in poems, just like he never doubted those poems. The poem was not written by Shen Youyou, but as soon as she said it, Pei Jinghan immediately asked her where she saw it.

Except for Pei Jinghan's favorite sentences, Suyue deliberately recited them wrong or pretended not to remember clearly, "This is a book that I accidentally found when I went to the bookstore a few years ago. None, I flipped through a couple of pages, and thought some of the sentences in it sounded good, so I bought them for twenty renminbi, huh, the shopkeeper even wanted to charge me two taels of silver, I..."

"Show it to me." Pei Jinghan excitedly interrupted her nagging, faintly feeling that Su Yue might have discovered a buried masterpiece.

"what?"

Su Yue looked at him in shock, "Your Majesty wants to read it? But I think the booklet is too torn. I burned the incense when I warmed the medicine for her due to the cold..."

Pei Jinghan stood up abruptly, and smashed down the desk resentfully.

Su Yue got up quickly, bowed her head to make amends, "My lord, I, I..."

"I don't blame you, I just feel it's a pity." Pei Jinghan is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Seeing that she was terrified, he sat down after calming down for a while, turned the tea bowl, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know how to recite other poems?" ?"

Su Yue honestly shook her head, "That's enough, just remember some easy-to-remember and pleasant-sounding sentences."

Pei Jinghan guessed more or less, and sighed: "Write it all down, remember as much as you write, and you will be rewarded later."

"What will the prince reward me?" Su Yue quietly glanced at him, and asked in a low voice, with a flattering smile in her eyes.

Pei Jinghan liked her attractive appearance, and said with a smile, "Would you like to reward your aunt?"

Su Yue blushed, scolded, and quickly walked out of the room.

Pei Jinghan shook his head, picked up the tea bowl, and silently recalled the few words Su Yue just read.

In the ear room, Su Yue looked at Ning Xiang who had already changed into silk and satin clothes, and wondered: "Yeah, why are you coming back late today?"

Ning Xiang had already thought of an excuse, combing her hair and said: "I haven't gone shopping in the street for a long time, and I went around after entering the city. How about you, are you okay these two days?"

"What can I do." Su Yue walked over, snatched the comb from her hand to help her, and reminded her softly: "You are getting more and more courageous, you just listen to what he says, why are you so stubborn?"

Ning Xiang clenched her hands, looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Is my face really dark?" It was clearly Pei Jinghan who was picking on the bone.

Su Yue was stunned, then smiled, and looked at her with a tilted head, "Don't you like to hear him say that you are ugly? Tsk tsk, it turns out that we Ningxiang also like smug beauty. I usually think that you don't like to dress up, so I thought you were right. Your own face doesn't matter."

She obviously misunderstood, Ning Xiang was about to explain, but she closed her mouth after thinking about it.

After tidying up, Suyue asked her to serve Pei Jinghan, she took out a pen and paper, wrote two full pages and handed it to Pei Jinghan before dinner, and gave it to Pei Jinghan when Ningxiang was not around.In her previous life, Ningxiang didn't care about Pei Jinghan and Shen Youyou's affairs, but she also heard a few words passed by Pei Jinghan or the little maids. Suyue didn't want Ningxiang for the time being because these poems guessed that she was also reborn, lest Ningxiang do something wrong with good intentions and go bad her plan.

"You need to practice your handwriting well." After receiving the paper, Pei Jinghan first criticized Su Yue's handwriting.

"I don't take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, what do I do to practice calligraphy?" Su Yue said nonchalantly.

Pei Jinghan shook his head and concentrated on watching. The more he looked at the phoenix eyes, the brighter he said, "It's such a magnificent and magnificent poem, 'flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days'. Why isn't such a magnificent and magnificent poem widely spread in the world?"

Su Yue leaned over to have a look, and suddenly thought of some good idea, she said: "My son has read all the books but I haven't read it, so there are really few people in the world who know, why don't you complete these poems, and then say it's you?" made?"

Pei Jinghan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "Is your family such a shameless person? Don't say that I don't have talents, if I do, I don't bother to deceive the world."

"Well, the son is an upright gentleman!" Su Yue slapped his hand away and flattered with a smile.

Pei Jinghan was very satisfied with the fragmented sentences on these two pages, and lowered his head and asked, "Tell me, what reward do you want, and I will give you whatever you want."

Just as Su Yue was about to speak, Ning Xiang's footsteps came from outside, probably calling Pei Jinghan for dinner.

She quickly grabbed the paper and put it away, begging the suspicious man in a low voice, "My lord, don't let Ningxiang know about this, okay? I, I'm afraid of her..."

"Afraid that she will be jealous of you?" Pei Jinghan looked at the door of the study and said empathetically.

Su Yue bit her lip and nodded.

Pei Jinghan smiled, stared at her lips and said, "Give me another kiss tonight, and I'll help you hide it from her."

Suyue powder noodles Feixia.

Ningxiang came in at this moment, and seeing Pei Jinghan staring at her meaningfully behind the desk, Suyue's face was red next to her, she vaguely guessed that she was probably disturbing Pei Jinghan to bully Suyue, she couldn't help but frowned, and then congratulated herself The time has come.

"My lord, dinner is ready." She said naturally.

However, Pei Jinghan interpreted her frowning and pretending to be calm as jealousy and intentionally interrupting his love for Su Yue.

Seeing Ningxiang who is usually gentle and gentle, and Suyue who glared at him angrily, Pei Jinghan laughed happily.

The one who thought he was narrow-minded, but actually generous, and the one who thought he was indifferent to the world, turned out to be a petty jealousy.

It seems that he has to find a chance to take good care of Ningxiang.
