in spring

Chapter 62

Li You was thinking about something at first, and didn't notice that the maid who combed his hair had changed. Hearing this, he was stunned. Once I was able to dress myself neatly and sharply, I couldn't help but soften my heart, and said softly: "Then you can continue to comb me from now on."

As soon as Qing'er lowered her head, tears fell, her voice choked up: "Really? I thought you were tired of me..."

"Originally so." Li You seemed to remember what Qing'er had done, and straightened his face, "In the past, you were straightforward, and although you did things neatly, you knew how to measure them, but the older you get, the more arrogant you become. .You are the person by my side. You should be thinking of everything for me, but in order to get angry with the little girls, you don't care about my face at all. How can I trust you again? "

Qing'er's tears fell even more: "I know I was wrong...but they..."

"Okay." Li You stopped her words lightly, "I know you have been wronged, but you also have something wrong. Now that you know your mistake, you should correct it in the future and stop acting recklessly. You also You have learned a lesson, now that there are few people in the house, Lan Xiang and Luer are too busy, you are an old man, so you can help them share the load."

Qing'er's face was full of surprise and sadness: "I know, I will never make you angry again..." She hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, then carefully combed Li You's hair until it was smooth , Tie it up with a silk ribbon, and give him a forehead warmer that he usually wears at home.

Li You frowned and avoided it: "This is something for women, I don't wear it."

Qing'er persuaded softly: "It's cold outside, don't wear it, turn your head carefully and let the wind blow, you complain of a headache again."

"I'm not going out today, I'm just staying at home, I don't need it."

Qing'er had no choice but to give up and combed his hair loosely.Li You let out a "hiss", screamed in pain again, and laughed at Qing'er: "I haven't combed my hair for a long time, is it possible that I have left all my skills behind?"

Qing'er's face was a little uncomfortable: "My good brother You, just this once, I won't dare to do it next time..."

Li You heard it a little weird, thinking she was afraid that he would demote her again, so he smiled and said, "There's no need to do this, who never misses? Comb it? You go."

Qing'er put down the comb and turned to make the bed. Chen'er, who was doing the job, glared at her, knocked her away secretly, and said in a bad tone: "Don't make trouble! Go do something else!" Looking at it, he had no choice but to hold back his anger, turned around and saw the bird's nest porridge that he brought just now, and hurriedly went to hold it in front of Li You.Lan Xiang came out from nowhere, stopped her, and said flatly: "The porridge has been cold for so long, how can I give it to Brother You? Why don't you take it down and heat it up?!"

Qing'er bit her lip, told herself repeatedly to hold back, turned her head and went out.

Listening to the conversation of the maids behind her, Li You frowned slightly, and finally sighed helplessly. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Chunying poking her head outside the window, and when their eyes met, she was pleasantly surprised.Is there something to find yourself?Li You remembered what he heard from his mother just now, and looked back at the girls who were busy, then took a coat and put it on, and walked outside the door.

Seeing that the third young master had come out unexpectedly, Chun Ying was also overjoyed.Just now when she saw Lan Xiang stopping Qing'er, she thought she was going to take action, but in the end she asked Qing'er to heat up the bird's nest porridge, what was she thinking?Is it true that Lan Xiang has her own plan as Qiu Yu said?Chunying always felt that it was not appropriate, so she simply greeted the third young master in private, and if Qing'er really did something, the person concerned could also take some precautions in advance.

But as soon as the third young master came out, without waiting for her to speak, he waved to her first, signaling her to follow him to an unobtrusive corner of the backyard.Chunying followed, and wanted to speak again, but the third young master said first: "From today onwards, don't send things to Zhumengshanju for now."

Chunying was taken aback: "Ah? Why?!"

"I was at my wife's place just now, and she asked about it. I don't know who leaked it. My wife was very angry and forbade me to have any more private contacts with brother Nian. If she got caught, it would be difficult to deal with in the future. You just stop for a while, wait for the wife to forget about it, and then continue to deliver things."

Not long after I met my wife, the other party knew about such a thing, and Chunying understood it a little bit in her heart, she laughed dryly, and wiped her sweat secretly: "That...the wife knows about this...maybe it has something to do with me..." Seeing the third young master's eyes widen in surprise, she hastily recounted what happened at the old lady's place today, before carefully saying: "I never said that you went to miss the young master...but...maybe..." Seeing the clarity in the third young master's eyes, she shrank her neck.

Li You was a little speechless, her mother was definitely not so easy to deceive, she knew that she and Zhou Nian had a good relationship, since she went to the bamboo forest, she "sent away" the girl again, is there a second place to go?What Chunying said was at most coaxing the old grandmother who didn't know the inside story. Fortunately, her mother was partial to her own flesh and blood, and would only beat herself up in private, and would not expose the truth.After thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that Chunying's words in front of his grandmother were beneficial to him. At least, his grandmother was aware of his second brother's evil deeds, and he had earned a good reputation as a friendly brother and caring for the overall situation. .As long as he can suppress the second brother's arrogance, what does it matter if he gets a few lessons from his mother?
Li You smiled smugly, and suddenly remembered that there were people around him, so he quickly restrained his expression, and said lightly: "Good girl, you did a good job this time, and the young master will remember your credit. This matter is so settled, no matter who Ask, it’s all the same way!”

Chunying nodded hesitantly, and then asked: "Then Master Nian...is he really not going to give it away? It's freezing cold now, and he's not in good health. He managed to get back to health. If he gets worse again, What should I do then?"

Li You is not too worried about this: "I heard people talking in the study outside today that his family's case has taken shape. The person who was convicted with his father has been re-tried from now on. It must be that the Zhou family rehabilitated him." The day is not far away. Father knows this, and he will definitely go to Miss Brother. When the time comes, someone will take care of all the supplies. Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if no one takes care of them, the things we send these days will not be taken care of. There is a lot, the charcoal fire is complete, and the clothes are also a lot, he will not suffer."

Chunying thinks about it, so she puts her mind at ease for a while, thinking that if there is not enough food, she will quietly make some dry food, and when she passes by the path, she will give it to Sanqing while no one is around, won't it be over?
She secretly laughed, and suddenly saw the third young master turning around to leave, and then remembered what she was going to say, and hurriedly called him: "Third young master, wait a moment, I have something to tell you!"

Li You looked back at her suspiciously. She glanced around and saw that there was no one around, only the two girls in the opposite corridor were staring at her from a distance. She lowered her voice and briefly mentioned what Qiuyu told Lan Xiang. carry.

When Li You heard this, his face turned dark: "This is serious?!"

"Really! Sister Lan Xiang knew about it. She said she wanted to get the stolen goods and told us to keep quiet, but I was worried that the third young master would accidentally fall into the trap, so I told you. The food and tea brought by Sister Qing'er , you can't touch it!"

Li You took two deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.If what Chunying said was the truth, wouldn't the heartfelt words he said to Qing'er just now become a joke? !He never imagined that the girl who grew up with him would also become the second brother's accomplice!He originally thought that they would only be jealous at most, and play tricks for petty gains, but—to plot against him?How is this possible? !
Chunying watched his face become more and more ugly, worried in her heart, and said cautiously: "Actually...it's not necessarily like this...maybe it's just a misunderstanding...after all, there is no evidence to prove that Sister Qing'er really did something bad. ..." She began to feel uneasy, in fact, everything was just speculation, if they made a mistake, wouldn't they be wronging the good people?
Lan Xiang suddenly shouted loudly in the main room: "What is this?!" Then there was a burst of screaming, and the room suddenly became a mess.

Li You recognized that it was Qing'er's scream, his face darkened, and he turned his head to look.Lan Xiang pushed Qing'er directly out of the room and threw him on the open space in the backyard, while Chen'er gathered a group of little maids to hold Qing'er tightly to the ground.Qing'er struggled desperately, screaming: "Lan Xiang! How dare you?!"

Lan Xiang walked out with a sneer, held up a yellow satin sachet, and said coolly: "Why don't I dare? You have even done such a scandal, and you still refuse to admit it?!" Open the sachet.

Qing'er suddenly became excited: "Don't open it! Don't open it!" Struggling more and more fiercely, Chen'er saw that the little girls couldn't hold back, so she called over the women who had gathered at the second gate to watch the fun, and asked for help. They hold Qing'er down.

Li You squinted, cursed inwardly, and walked over, while Chunying held her breath, and quickly ran towards the door, meeting Shi'er and others who came to watch the excitement.

At this time Lan Xiang had already opened the sachet, and took out two strands of hair inside, one was longer and tied with a silk ribbon, the material was obviously the same as the jacket Qing'er was wearing today, while the other was only A few strands were tied with red silk thread, bent into a circle, and tied together with another bundle of hair.There was also a small piece of yellow paper in the pouch, on which an unknown rune was written with cinnabar. In addition, a few words were embroidered with red silk thread on the inside of the sachet, which were "marriage and harmony" and "grow old together".

Chen'er said from the side: "Sister Lanxiang, when I just made the bed, I saw her stealthily pull out the third young master's hair, tied it with red silk thread after carrying her back, and put it together with my own hair. Muttering something in her mouth, she is about to stuff this sachet under the third young master's bed. She must be casting some shameful spell!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qing'er retorted heart-piercingly, looking at the sachet in Lan Xiang's hand, eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.Just a little bit, just a little bit... She couldn't bear to bite off a piece of meat from Lan Xiang and Chen'er, her eyes burst out with hatred, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw the third young master she was thinking of approaching step by step, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help it His whole body trembled.

Lan Xiang was still unaware of Li You's approach, and she was looking at Qing'er with contempt and said, "What's your plan? You think that if you put the third young master's hair with your own, you will become a married couple? Do you want to be your mother?" What a dream of spring and autumn! Is there any girl in the whole house who is as shameless as you?! Instead of serving the master well, she wants to climb high?! She doesn't even piss to take care of her own virtue! Shameless coquettish hoof!"

The detainee's mother-in-law also taunted in a low voice: "I miss a man so much, I'll go back to my wife tomorrow, and go out early to match the boy!" "No, I don't even look at my own identity!"

Qing'er was ashamed and angry, she was pushed to the ground by women and maids, her hair was messed up, her dress was covered with muddy water, her face was full of snot and tears, she only felt that her body was cold for a while, but her face was hot Yes, there was a buzzing sound all around, needless to say, it must be other maids talking about her in private, their gazes were so stinging, but what made her most painful was the coldness in the eyes when the third young master looked at her meaning.

Did he misunderstand himself?Does he regard himself as those shameless women?No!No!How could he see her like that? !She is different from others, she is different!
Qing'er struggled vigorously, and thought that she was being honest, so she relaxed her strength. The woman and the little girls didn't notice for a while, but she broke free.She rushed to the third young master's feet, grabbed his trousers tightly, and begged: "Brother You, Brother You...you have to believe me, I am sincere, I am sincere! Brother You... "

When Lan Xiang saw Li You, a trace of complacency flashed across her face, she glanced at Qing'er disdainfully, then stepped forward and said, "Brother You, you came just in time, and I was just about to reply to you. Qing'er, girl, don't know Repent, you actually brought a mess of talismans into the mansion, and you still have such a shameless idea, you must never keep it, why not..."

"Enough!" Li You yelled to stop, Lan Xiang was stunned, her face was a little ugly: "Brother You, you..."

Li You said calmly: "I'm grown up now, so I should change my name when I was a child." Lan Xiang's expression changed, and she answered unnaturally, "Yes. That Qing'er..." Li You raised his hand to stop her Then, he looked down at Qing'er, who was staring at him blankly with tears in his eyes.

Li You was flustered for a moment, things were obviously not as he had originally imagined, but he was also very annoyed at such a young man.Now that Lan Xiang has made a fuss, everyone is watching, how should he deal with it?
