Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 56 Looking back meaningfully

Could it be that his handsome face is no longer popular?he thought disheartened.

"Bai Zhi, don't be presumptuous!" Lu Xinyan said a lesson, but she was happy in her heart.

Bai Zhi and Qing Tong seem to never disobey her orders, but they don't really get along.

It's just like two machines, mechanically executing the instructions given by the master.

It was also the first time she saw Bai Zhi's eloquent side.

"Yes, miss." Bai Zhi greeted Gongsun Mo Bai with a blessing, "Bai Zhi said something inappropriate earlier, please punish Gongsun."

Punishment for what?He said that he could realize her wish of finding a good husband, but he was just telling the truth. If he couldn't find it, it was because of his lack of ability. How could he be punished the other way around?

Doesn't that make him, Gongsun Mobai, too stingy?
Gongsun Mobai gritted his teeth secretly.

Hmph, this Mr. Chou Ben made a note of it first!

"It's my son who has overestimated his capabilities." He took out a newly bought magnolia jade hairpin from his arms, and handed it over with a twitching handsome face, "My son should do as the Romans do, just give me a small gift."

What little gift?He bought it after paying in advance for three months!It is going to be given to Miss Qingyun in Yicui Building!
What a barbecue meal, and dozens of taels of silver disappeared!Heartache, heartache!
Bai Zhi took it with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, Bai Zhi will put it to good use."

For a moment, the hand that was holding Yuzan tried hard and didn't want to let go, but in the end he had to let go.

Gongsun Mobai's handsome face was almost turning green.

How many masters and servants are incompatible with him!

absolute!
"Eat and drink, eat and drink, it's getting late, let's not disturb the young lady, let's take our leave first." Wu Sheng said.

"Everyone, go slowly." Lu Xinyan was about to get up to see her off, when Shu Yun suddenly came over, "Miss, you have worked hard all afternoon, let the servants send you off on behalf of the lady."

She lowered her head halfway, revealing a small part of her neck with soft lines, and her plump and enchanting figure. Because of her half-side posture, she undoubtedly revealed her own advantages.

Shu Yun's appearance is very good, warm and charming, even if she wears a dark skirt for the convenience of barbecue, she does not lose half of her beauty.

"No need, go down." Lu Xin still had a faint smile on her face, and the indifference and dignity in her tone was something that Su Yun had never heard before.

Shu Yun was a little reconciled, but in the end she did not forget her status as a servant girl, so she gritted her teeth and withdrew.

The four young masters are all dragons and phoenixes among men, how could they not understand the purpose of Sou Yun's move?
The scene was silent for a while.

Wu Sheng changed the topic, "By the way, my concubine likes the poem Young Madam sang last time. I wonder if Young Madam has similar poems?"

That day when the concubine mother heard this word, she rarely smiled approvingly at him, Wu Sheng remembered it in his heart, thinking about the next time he meets Lu Xinyan, he will ask for two more songs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he encountered food, Wu Sheng forgot about it, and now he finally remembered it.

Lu Xinyan said: "If I get similar poems, I will notify the third prince as soon as possible."

Last time Qixi had said that the poem was written by a stranger, but she just happened to know it and kept it in her heart, even if she wanted to sell the third prince's favor at this moment, she couldn't take it out immediately.

"Then there will be Mrs. Lao." Wu Sheng felt a little regretful.

"Should the third prince take this folding chair away at this time or..."

"Take it away." Wu Sheng winked, and the little monkey immediately put away the folding chair and carried it in his hand.

The four of them crossed the walled yard, the last little monkey suddenly turned back, and whispered in Xiao He's ear: "That Gongsun Gongzi is not a good person, you should follow his ways."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Yichen and Gongsun Mobai both looked back meaningfully whether it was intentional or not.

The little monkey followed immediately.

Looking at the figures of the two of them, Lu Xinyan seemed to think of something, and there was an inexplicable smile on her lips.

After a few people left, everyone in Pomegranate Yard started to clean up the mess.

"Let's all go and have a rest, and leave the tidying up to Shu Yun." After Lu Xinyan explained lightly, she left without looking back.

Hearing her words, except for combing the clouds and the moon, and Xiao He who was a little confused, everyone left quietly.

Qing Tong took Xiao He away, Bai Zhi glanced at Xu Yue who wanted to stay.

After Yueyue said sorry in a low voice, she left with Bai Zhi.

In the huge courtyard, only Shu Yun was left.

She understood that it was her act of self-assertion just now, which made Lu Xinyan angry.

But she didn't feel that she was at fault, nor did she feel that she should be punished.

She was born as a tool to be used by others to invite pets, and she has already accepted her fate, but even if it is a tool, within the limited possibility, she hopes to choose the object of her own favor.

The young lady herself said that she would take her fate into her own hands, not looking for results, but without regrets, why did she punish her when she did what she said?
While cleaning up the mess, Shu Yun was full of grievances.

By the time she finished cleaning up alone, it was almost dark.

At this time Lueyue came out of Lu Xinyan's room, handed her a wooden bucket, with pity in her eyes, and whispered: "Miss asked you to fetch water."

Shu Yun was raised as a skinny horse since she was a child, and her life was comparable to that of a young lady in a boudoir. When did she ever do the drudgery of tidying up?

Now she is actually being used as a rough envoy and a servant girl, asking her to fetch water?
Shu Yun patted Luaoyue's hand away, rushed in angrily, faced the beautiful woman who was buried in her head, and said unconvinced: "Your maidservant is just doing what you say, I don't know what I did wrong, please tell me clearly! "

Lu Xinyan put down her pen and said lightly, "According to what I said?"

"Miss said that you should take everything into your own hands, be willing to work hard, and don't want to leave any regrets. The servant just acted according to Miss's wishes."

"You're good at making up excuses and taking meaning out of context!" Lu Xinyan sneered, "It's obvious that you have the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, so you stand up on your own without my order, in a delusional attempt to attract the attention of the nobles, and push it to the court. On me, it's ridiculous!"

"Yes, I can't hide my thoughts from anyone, and I never thought of hiding it!" Shu Yun bit her lips, "Everyone in the courtyard can do whatever they want, why can't I? Xiao He can play as she wants, and do things as she wants. When doing things, Bai Zhi stays in her own room every day except to check the old lady's pulse. Qingtong can go wherever she likes except when she goes out to accompany the young lady! There are also Madam Lu and Madam Wang, who are also maids and servants, why? The lady can be tolerant to them and allow them to live freely, but the slaves have to be trembling and can't do what they want?"

"I'm tolerant to them because they understand the word of duty!" Lu Xinyan said coldly: "You only see the surface, have you ever seen the essence? Take today's incident as an example, the third prince and the others did not come, and After they came, can't you see the change in their behavior? Even Xiao He, who grew up in a village in the country and seems to you the most unruly, can say a few more words after they came , Has there ever been any behavior that has been criticized by others? Just because of two words, duty! Since they have a sense of duty, as the master, I can naturally give them the freedom they deserve within the scope of my power!"
