33. Chapter 33
The closer you are to Pei Jinghan, the more you can feel his dissatisfaction.
Ningxiang couldn't think of where she got back and got angry. Before she went home, she said goodbye to him. He was so kind. He couldn't remember the revenge she was so angry that she was eating garlic in a night, right?
"Criminal, I'm back." Ningxiang stopped nervously in front of the steps at the entrance of the study room and lowered her eyes.
Pei Jinghan pursed his thin lips and frowned. He looked at her. He was wearing old clothes. If he weren't fair-skinned and beautiful, he would be a village girl.
"Why is my face dark?"
After looking up and down, Pei Jinghan stared at the face of his favorite little girl and noticed something strange keenly.
In fact, Ningxiang only did farm work for half a day, and he only had a day and a half on the way back and forth, and his skin color was almost no different. However, Pei Jinghan has been pampering since childhood, and everything he used around him was exquisite. For him, Ningxiang was a piece of beautiful jade, and even a little change in color, he could see it.
Ningxiang was stunned. Why didn't she feel that she was black?
"Have you gone to the field to do your job?" Pei Jinghan asked.
His tone was not good, as if she had to ask him for instructions on everything she did. Ningxiang pursed her lips and stared at his clothes and replied, "I have helped farm at home for half a day." She was his maid in the Hou Mansion. It was his duty to serve him well. When she got home, she was a girl from the Xu family. She would do whatever she wanted. Why should he care? Including her face, if she was tanned, she would dislike this person. From now on, she would be sunbathing every day.
Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the previous life, she knew that she was timid and Pei Jinghan would not let her go. Ningxiang was a little more courageous when facing Pei Jinghan. Although she was still afraid that he would bully others, Ningxiang didn't want to blindly follow him like this, if he was too careless, Ningxiang didn't want to blindly follow him.
However, Ningxiang thought she was very brave, and her look of looking down and replying was still timid in Pei Jinghan's eyes.
Unexpectedly, she would scare her as soon as she came back. Pei Jinghan said in a gentle tone: "Okay, don't go to work in the future. You are a girl. It's not good to look like you're tanned. Why did you come back so late today?" She returned home about two quarters of an hour later than before.
Thinking of Lu Cheng, Ningxiang felt a little guilty.
To be honest, I can't tell you, so what excuses should I make?
While secretly anxious, Su Yue suddenly walked out of the main hall, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and smiling at the two of them while eating them. Finally, she looked at Pei Jinghan and said, "The lyrics say "Cleaning, leaning on Wangjiang Tower alone". Our prince is "Study, standing in the jade steps". Ningxiang, why are you nervous? The prince misses you, so he hopes you will come back soon."
Ningxiang felt that Su Yue's two sentences were familiar, and then she heard Su Yue say that Pei Jinghan missed her, so directly. Ningxiang blushed with shame and didn't dare to see what Pei Jinghan looked like. She angrily said to Su Yue and whispered: "I'll put things first, and I'll come here to serve the prince later."
He hurried to the ear room with his bag.
Su Yue smiled and watched her, her beautiful eyes swept over Pei Jinghan, and then turned back to the main hall.
Just as he sat down at the table with a thin-necked vase in Dingyao, when the door darkened, Pei Jinghan walked in.
Su Yue pretended not to see it and continued to eat melon seeds.
Pei Jinghan sat opposite her and said with a funny look: "Are you jealous?"
Su Yue hummed softly and looked at the door and said, "The prince's nose is not working well, why don't I smell the sour smell?"
Pei Jinghan smiled deeper and explained softly: "Ningxiang suddenly came back late, I couldn't help but worry about something wrong with her. If it were you, I would also worry about it."
Su Yue glanced at him, her eyes facing each other, as if she could no longer hold it in. She chuckled softly, and said playfully: "Who can't say good words? I will really go out one day and come back later on purpose to see if the prince will worry about it."
The little girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and her smile is more charming than the pink roses in the vase.
Pei Jinghan looked at her with a smile. He liked Ningxiang's gentleness and shyness, and Suyue's liveliness and playfulness. They were also the two maids he was most satisfied with. The most rare thing was that the two girls were like sisters. Ningxiang was never worried. Now that Suyue really didn't eat Ningxiang's jealousy, he was completely relieved.
"By the way, I'll say the two sentences you just read to me again." Pei Jinghan asked with interest after pouring a bowl of tea himself.
"After washing up, leaning alone on Wangjiang Tower?" Su Yue thought for a while and asked in a deep voice.
Pei Jinghan nodded and said casually: "The words are good, where do you see them? Do you remember the whole word?"
Why don’t Su Yue remember?
In her previous life, her cousin Chen Youyou came to the Marquis' Mansion as a guest, and she also brought several poems she wrote herself. The old lady praised her when she read them. Even the Marquis Pei Zheng praised her and personally copied one of them and hung them in the study. Chen Youyou's reputation as a talented woman quickly spread throughout Tai'an Mansion.
Pei Jinghan practiced martial arts, but he was also a noble young man from a noble family. He had a lot of good books in his study, so he naturally admired Chen Youyou's talent. Chen Youyou was visiting and left the Marquis's mansion and gave Pei Jinghan a book of her poems. Pei Jinghan often read it. Su Yue always remembers that he was lying lazily on the couch. As he looked at the booklet, his eyes showed longing.
At that time, Su Yue had only envy Chen Youyou.
Perhaps Chen Youyou's good identity is born, but her talent is her own. She is just a little maid and doesn't even have the qualification to be jealous of Chen Youyou.
It was not until she was tied up and stared at Chen 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 just borrowed them and was favored by Pei Jinghan. She also sarcastically asked her to go to Pei Jinghan to report.
Chen Youyou really knows how to annoy people.
If she doesn't tell the truth, Su Yue will only hate her for being cruel. She said that Su Yue's hatred will be more unwilling, and she will not be willing to lose to a hypocritical liar. She is unwilling to accept but unable to do anything, isn't it more painful than simple hatred?
Fortunately, God also felt sorry for 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 carefully, and recited the two poems stutteringly. Out of endless envy, Su Yue would recite the lyrics written by Chen Youyou, but she was just a maid. If she recited it too smoothly, Pei Jinghan would instead doubt why she suddenly became interested in poetry, just as he never suspected that those poems were not written by Chen Youyou. As soon as she said it, Pei Jinghan immediately asked her where she saw it.
Except for Pei Jinghan's favorite sentences, Su Yue deliberately memorized the wrong sentences or pretended to be unable to remember them clearly. "This is a book that I accidentally discovered when I went to the bookstore before the New Year. It was a very broken and old one, and there was no cover. I turned two pages and thought some sentences were very nice, so I bought them for twenty cents. Humph, the story even wanted to charge me two taels of silver, I..."
"Take it to me." Pei Jinghan interrupted her nagging with excitement, feeling vaguely that Su Yue might have discovered the buried masterpiece.
"ah?"
Su Yue looked at him in shock, "The prince wants to read it? But I think the book is too broken. Ningxiang was cold and I burned it when I gave her warm medicine..."
Pei Jinghan suddenly stood up and smashed the desk hatefully.
Su Yue quickly stood up and bowed her head to apologize, "Criminal, I, I..."
"It's not your fault, I just feel a pity." Pei Jinghan is not a person who doesn't know the right or wrong. Seeing that she was frightened, she calmed down for a moment and sat down again, turned around the tea bowl, and asked in a low voice: "Can you recite other poems?"
Su Yue shook her head honestly, "It's so bad, I just remember some easy-to-remember and nice sentences."
Pei Jinghan guessed it a little and sighed: "I will write it down, remember to write as much as I can, and I will be rewarded after looking back."
"What does the prince reward me?" Su Yue looked at him quietly and asked in a low voice, with a pleasing smile in her eyes.
Pei Jinghan liked her seductive look and smiled and said, "Do you want to admire your aunt?"
Su Yue blushed, and she angrily said, and quickly walked out of the house.
Pei Jinghan shook his head, picked up the tea bowl, and silently recalled the few words Su Yue had just recited.
In the ear room, Su Yue looked at Ningxiang who had already changed into silk clothes and wondered: "Yes, why are you late to come back today?"
Ningxiang had already thought of the excuse and said while combing her hair: "I haven't been shopping on the street for a long time. After entering the city, I went around. What 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 softly: "You are getting more and more courageous. Whatever he says sounds like, what's the point of being stubborn?"
Ningxiang clenched her hands, looked at herself in the mirror and said, "My face is really dark?" It was obvious that Pei Jinghan picked the bones in her eggs.
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, burst into laughter, and looked at her, "It's true that you don't like to hear him say you're black? Tsk tsk, it turns out that we Ningxiang also love to be stinky and beautiful. Usually, seeing that you don't like to dress up, I thought you didn't care about your face."
She obviously misunderstood. Ningxiang was about to explain, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth again.
After packing up, Su Yue asked her to serve Pei Jinghan. She took out paper and pen and wrote two pages before dinner to Pei Jinghan, giving them to Pei Jinghan while Ningxiang was away. Ningxiang didn't care about Pei Jinghan and Shen Youyou in her previous life, but she also heard from Pei Jinghan or the little maids that Su Yue didn't want Ningxiang to be reborn because of these poems, so as not to Ningxiang be kind enough to do something wrong and break her plan.
"You have to practice your words well." After taking the paper, Pei Jinghan first criticized Su Yue's words.
"I don't take the top scorer for the exam, so what do I do when practicing calligraphy?" Su Yue said seriously.
Pei Jinghan shook his head and looked at it attentively. The more he looked at the phoenix, the brighter his eyes became, "What a 'flying flow down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way fell into the sky'. Why is such a spectacular and magnificent poem not widely circulated in the world?"
Su Yue leaned over and looked at it, and suddenly thought of a good idea and said, "The prince has never read it all, but he has seen that there are really few people in the world who know it. Why not the prince complete these verses and then say that it was you who wrote it?"
Pei Jinghan laughed loudly and reached out to pinch her face, "Is your prince a shameless person? Don't say that I don't have talent, even if I have, I don't want to deceive the world and steal the reputation."
"Well, the prince is a gentleman who stands tall and strong!" Su Yue patted his hand away and said flatteringly with a smile.
Pei Jinghan was very satisfied with the two pages of the broken sentences and lowered his head and asked, "Tell me, I will give you whatever I want."
Su Yue was about to speak, and Ningxiang's footsteps came from outside, probably calling Pei Jinghan for food...
She quickly snatched the paper and put it away, whispering to the man with doubts on her face, "Crown Prince, can you not let Ningxiang know about this? I, I'm afraid of her..."
"Afraid that she is jealous?" Pei Jinghan looked at the door of the study and said understandingly.
Su Yue nodded with her lip and bit her head.
Pei Jinghan smiled, stared at her lips and said, "I'll kiss you tonight, and I'll hide it from her."
The pink face of the simple moon is flying in the sky.
Ningxiang walked in at this moment. Seeing Pei Jinghan staring at her meaningfully behind the desk, Su Yue’s face was red next to her. She vaguely guessed that she was probably disturbing Pei Jinghan and bullying Su Yue. She couldn't help but frown, and then she was glad that it was time for her to come.
"Criminal, the dinner has been set up." She said naturally.
Pei Jinghan understood her frowning and pretending to be calm as jealousy and deliberately interrupting his pampering Su Yue.
Looking at Ningxiang, who was usually gentle and gentle, and then looking at Su Yue who was so angry that she glared at him, Pei Jinghan laughed happily.
I thought I was petty, but I was generous. I thought I was not a fight with the world, but I was just a little jealous.
