Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

Chapter 25: plaything

     

      Zhou Heshuo closed his mouth, turned around and said casually, "Since there are guests, we won't be bothered too much."

    "Yes, yes, let's go back to the car and drink tea and listen to the music." The attendant agreed and quickly opened the way for him.

    Zhou Heshuo nodded and took two steps, then glanced to the side: "Jing Yun?"

    Li Jingyun was still standing by the side of the car, and seemed to be distracted. Hearing the shouting, he moved, but didn't look back: "I won't go, I have to continue looking for someone."

    Zhou Heshuo didn't force it, just smiled: "If there is anything you need to tell them."

    "Thank you, Your Highness."

    A group of people walked away in a mighty manner, Li Jingyun stared at the car curtain for a long time, and said impatiently: "Why don't you get out?"

    The curtain trembled, and then a small paw stretched out and grabbed the edge of the curtain hesitantly.

    Hua Yue stretched out half of her head, frowned at him, and sniffed: "Why are you here?"

    Listen, how arrogant he is to ask, as if he was the one who came to the wrong place.

    Li Jingyun laughed angrily: "If Grandpa wasn't here, how would he know that you are so capable, the plaque of the mansion's honorable ancestors shouldn't be hung in the ancestral hall, it should be hung on your forehead."

    Flower Moon: "…"

    The car curtain was opened wide, Shen Zhiluo looked at him with a sullen face: "Third Young Master."

    "Yo, Lord Shen." Li Jingyun smiled but didn't smile, "If you're not feeling well, just rest more, why do you keep thinking about other people's maids?"

    "The third son also said that she is just a maid." Shen Zhiluo raised his eyelids slightly, "Since you are just a maid, why should you be angry."

    "Don't talk about a maid, it's even a dog." Licking his back molars, he curled his lips, "As long as it was raised by me, there is no reason to wag his tail at others."

    Shen Zhi was overjoyed, raised his sleeves to support his forehead: "Does the dog sell?"

    "Not for sale." He pulled the person over, lowered his body and pinched her paw and waved at him, "See you back."

    Yin Huayue can't wait to bite him.

    Shen Zhiluo wanted to say more, Li Jingyun had already pulled the person back and walked back, the skirt of the color of the moon and water was raised, and the arc was drawn in the air, and the flying flowers followed the person.

    He looked at him with a complex expression, thoughtful.

    The wrist was pulled so painfully that she stumbled all the way. Huayue looked up at the man in front and couldn't help saying: "The slave knows the way."

    "Which way do you recognize?" Li Jingyun didn't look back, "Is it the way to the woods, or the way to the carriage?"

    "Young Master." Hua Yue felt amused, "What the servants did did not violate the rules of the General's Mansion."

    "That's true." He sarcastically said, "After all, the General's Mansion is not so shameless as to write down the rules that people are not allowed to be stubborn during the day."

    "..." The face was a little ugly, Huayue opened and closed her mouth, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

    Now she can see clearly, if she wants to expect good words from Li Jingyun's mouth, it is better to dig ivory from Wangfu's mouth. .

    No sound could be heard from behind, but Li Jingyun was even more angry: "Why, do you think that what you said is wrong?"

    "No." Huayue obeyed and said, "You are what the son says."

    "Okay." He shook off her hand and hummed, "Did you recognize yourself as a dog?"

    Looking up at him, Huayue said calmly, "Wang."

    Tooth grinding, making a creaking sound, Li Jingyun barely maintained a smile: "The lord said that you are in a relationship with others, do you recognize it?"

    Hua Yue folded her hands and bowed to him respectfully: "Slave admit it."

    Li Jingyun is going to die of anger.

    He has lived for 20 years, and he has always been mad at others. The first time he was so dizzy by a little girl, he almost lost his footing.

    Last time I knew sophistry, and I also knew that he was better than Shen Zhiluo, but now it's better, broken jars and smashed, looking like he can't do anything about her anyway, looks like fire big.

     

    Hua Yue also pondered for a while, and then said: "As long as Tu Numaid likes it."

    "Hi..." Li Jingyun wiped his face, "Are you blind or something, can you like an embroidered pillow? Shen Zhiluo is not only good-looking, but what else is likable?"

    The more Hua Yue said, the more calm she became: "It's enough to look good on the skin, it's useless to ask for anything else."

    I don't know what to do!

     

    Back to the car and sat down, he looked up at the people who followed, and said coldly: "Why are you following me, why don't you go back to your peerless Master Shen?"

    Hua Yue gently knelt down beside him, bowed her head and said, "Young Master Hui, we are about to go to the hunting ground. According to Madam's instructions, you should take this first."

    The white jade mandarin duck pendant that Zhou Heshuo returned to her last time was put on red string again by her and placed in the brocade box properly.

    This thing again.

    Li Jingyun stared blankly, his eyes were dark, and after a while, he used his fingertips to hook up the silk rope: "Last time, I asked you, if you don't like it, will you still? meeting."

    Yuanyang Pei swayed in front of her, and he looked through the hole in the top.

    Hua Yue nodded obediently, her amber eyes showed no emotion at all, she stretched out her hands to take the jade pendant, hooked her index finger over his belt, put the silk rope inward, and then used Pass through the thumb and put a set on the mandarin duck half.

     

    She raised her head and bowed again, and Fu Li did a thorough job.

    I used to blushing and hesitating, went to someone's carriage, and came back with this hypocritical expression, Li Jingyun half-closed his eyes and looked at it, his eyes were full of anger.

    Hua Yue knelt just right, and was pulled by someone unexpectedly.

    Li Jingyun's reaction was faster than Shen Zhiluo's. As soon as she tried hard, he was holding her down, her wrists were overlapped, and he pinched her with one hand and couldn't move.

    "Why, it's okay if he hugs you, but you will be beaten when you hug him?" He bullied himself, stretched out his hand and squeezed her chin, "What's the fairness?"

    Hua Yue tried to struggle, but gave up after only one try, and let him hold: "Sir Shen will also be beaten when he does it, it's fair."

    "Really." Li Jingyun sneered, "Master is very happy to see you, snuggling in someone's arms, not moving."

    What should I do at that juncture? Shen Zhiluo suddenly pulled her over, she didn't have time to react, her nose hit his shoulder bone, and tears came out of the pain. When she reacted, Shen Zhiluo had already raised his sleeves to block her.

     

    Muttering in her heart, Huayue didn't want to argue with him, she said lifelessly: "Yes, the slave is happy."

     The strength of pinching her wrist suddenly tightened, and the man in front of her was closer to her, so close that she could see the anger in his eyes.

     Looking at her eyes, Hua Yue felt amused: "Slave servants are just pawns in front of the car and playthings in their hands. Why should the son be so anxious about these trivial matters."

    "Toys." Li Jingyun's eyes were cold, "Have you ever seen a toy that was given medicine to feed? A real toy, if it breaks, throw it away, and there is no way to pick it up."

    Hua Yue thought about it for a while: "Not necessarily, your treasured saber was broken and you didn't throw it away, and it was often wiped."

    “…”

      a nest.

     

    "You...you let go!" She panicked and struggled with all her strength, "If you want to kill or slash, it will be a pleasure, it will take half an hour to bleed if your neck is broken!"

    Li Jingyun turned a deaf ear, a pair of dark pupils held her neck.

    Is this a dog? Hua Yue was crying and grief-stricken, how could a serious master bite someone's neck, and she felt displeased when she bit one place, so she switched to the left and bit again. The warm and moist breath sprayed on the neck, itching and numb.

    She couldn't move, and she couldn't see if her neck was bleeding.

     

    Hua Yue hurriedly shook her head: "No."

    "What's that like?" Flicking her fingertips over her teeth marks, she gently scratched her earlobe, "Tell me, where is the Gu, Master will try it too."

    Hua Yue thought it was funny: "Young master, why do you have to care about this? People in the slave and maid district may not have the best eyesight. If you say that Lord Shen is good-looking, the son may not be worse than him. Looking at the whole Jinghua, Those who admire Young Master should talk less, Young Master really doesn’t need to fight.”

    It's okay not to say, but he showed his fangs again. Hundreds of people in Jinghua knew that he was good, so why did the dog around him become blind?

    Hua Yue knew at a glance that he was going to bite again, and quickly said: "Young master, we are about to go to the hunting ground, Miss Han is right in front, you better restrain yourself, don't let people misunderstand. "

    "What's the misunderstanding?" He raised his eyelids.

    "Naturally, I misunderstood that the son is romantic and affectionate, and he has an affair with the maids around him." Hua Yue frowned, "It's not good for you to spread these rumors before you get married."

    Li Jingyun suddenly realized and nodded: "It makes sense, I can't make people misunderstand."

    He was relieved, Huayue was about to take a breath, but he heard the next sentence: "If you want to dye it, it will be dyed, and it's better not to be infatuated."

    Yin Huayue: "…"

    Before he teased and made fun, she would still blushed and felt uneasy, but now he talks too much, Huayue only thinks he is joking, and reluctantly said: "I also ask the son to release a slave. way to live."

    "Follow your father to eat and drink spicy food, how can you not survive?"

    Hua Yue chuckled and asked him, "Young master, do you remember how the injury on the slave's back came from?"

     

      You are here to play, but there is only one life for slaves, slaves cherish their lives, and ask your son to raise your hand."

    Hands are empty, and her arms are cold, Li Jingyun slowly brushed his sleeves, wondering: "Why are you playing at the scene?"

    Hua Yue paused for a while, then laughed out loud: "It's okay to be flattering, no problem, whatever word your son likes to use."

    She tidied up her skirt and bowed her knees to him: "The slave will prepare other things, and when she arrives at the place later, I will ask the son to show his face."

    Li Jingyun was silent.

      of.

    But Yin Huayue did not. She took out the small bronze mirror in the box and glanced at it. She looked very calm, as if she was just bitten by a dog, and she took a white cloth and wrapped it smoothly.

    Li Jingyun couldn't understand, because he didn't speak clearly enough, or his posture wasn't close enough, why did his dog react like this?

    When the sky was getting dark and night was covering the sky, the prince and his party finally arrived at the hunting ground.

    Hua Yue brought a glass lamp to lead the way, and Li Jingyun followed, her eyes still full of confusion.

    "My wife sent you a return gift to the Han residence a while ago. It is an agate bracelet. If Miss Han mentions it, you may perfunctory, don't say you don't know."

     "The place to eat is upstairs, only you and Miss Han are upstairs. The slaves and maids avoid them together. If the son has any other orders, just open the window and shout."

    Standing on the edge of the stairs, she turned around and tucked the lamp into him, and said earnestly, "Don't leave the table too early."

     

    The pace is brisk and there is no nostalgia at all.

      Holding Bai Shengsheng's dough, he nibbled fast and carefully.

    Someone sat down beside her and handed her a glass of water.

    "Thank you." Hua Yue took it and asked for a drink, and Yu Guang glanced aside.

    It's okay not to look at it, she didn't dare to tilt the glass again when she saw it, she stopped embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "It's you."

    The little girl who came to open the door for them in the Han residence before, still smiled sweetly, and whispered to her: "Sister, my name is Biezhi."

    Hua Yue smiled faintly: "Did Miss Han have any orders?"

      "

    Huayue nodded, holding a glass of water, neither drinking nor not drinking.

    "Sister, don't be afraid." Biezhi tilted his head and said, "There is no poison in the water."

    Who knows if it’s true or not, Huayue smiled but didn’t move.

    Don't purse your lips, put your hands on your knees, and whisper: "Our young lady is very lucky, she was favored by the eldest princess at birth, and with the eldest princess' backing, no one dared to bully her. However, She is also very pitiful, every time the eldest princess's thunderous tactics will make her bear a vicious name in the end."

    "Sister is the person next to Young Master Jing Yun, and it's too late for the young lady to please her, so why would she think of harming her."

    Hua Yue raised her eyebrows when she heard it, remembering what Han Shuang said last time when she came to the East Court, she suddenly said, "You mean, your lady has never been angry with me?"

    "My elder sister is the favored slave of Young Master Jing Yun, and she will get along with the young lady day and night. What is she doing when she is angry with you? The son has known each other for many years, and the two of them had a good relationship before, but later, the son misunderstood something and left the young lady in the cold."

    "If my sister can help you, then in the future, the young lady will not treat you poorly."

    Hua Yue was interested, put down the cup and asked her, "What misunderstanding is there between them?"

      Down the steps, he never bowed his head."

    Blinking eyes at her, Buzhi pulled her arm and shook it: "Good sister, are you willing to help?"

    Hua Yue laughed with her, sweeter than her: "Yes, how can you help me?"

    "This is simple." Biezhi said, "What they lack at the moment is mutual understanding and closeness. Sister, please tell me about Young Master Jing Yun's preferences and living habits. ."

    "Do you like it..." Hua Yue stared at her hand and smiled, "It's nothing special, I like to eat candied fruit occasionally."

    "What about living?" Biezhi leaned over his head, "When do you usually go out, and when do you return to the residence?"

    "This is different every day."

     

    April 9th? Huayue raised her eyes calmly, just meeting the gaze of other branches. Biezhi's eyes were very light in color, staring at her quietly, with a scrutiny and a little probing in his eyes.

    My mind moved slightly, Huayue smiled and said: "You remember, the son did not go out that day, nor did he receive any greetings."

    Don't be stunned for a moment, and quickly clapped: "It's my bad memory, maybe it's another day."

    She didn't care about this mistake, she just suddenly reached out and rubbed her stomach: "Hey..."

    "What's wrong?" Biezhi quickly supported her.

     

    "Okay, sister slow down." Biezhi waved at her.

    Hua Yue got up and walked towards the thatched hut. As soon as she left the sight of the man behind her, her face returned to normal.

    When she saw Han Shuang before, she really believed that this girl liked Li Jingyun, but now this little girl said a few words, she felt something was wrong.

    Inquiring about her preferences and daily life is normal, but what about her?

    On the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, she was taken to Qifeng Building by the prince. Li Jingyun should be there. Although she didn't know what he was doing, her intuition told her not to say anything, especially not Say it to a servant who has no calluses on his hands.

    Looking back at the second floor where the lights were on, Huayue touched her chin.

     

    Li Jingyun looked at her in low interest, glanced at her, returned the glass lamp to her, and then went back to sleep.

    The next day is the day of "opening the mountain". Generally speaking, the person with the highest status will shoot the rabbit in the cage, and then everyone can go hunting, but this year is different.

    The eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the prince went to the hunting ground together. In terms of superiority and inferiority, it is naturally the prince who is higher than the prince, but in terms of age, it should be the eldest princess first, and the two sides are quite competitive. So that the mountain has not opened for a long time.

    In the end, the eldest princess smiled and said: "I heard that the young master in the Li family's mansion has excellent arrow skills, and he can pierce through Yang at a hundred paces. It's better to let him drive."

    This proposal is a bit ridiculous, but it is rare that Zhou Heshuo also nodded: "Jing Yun, don't you thank the eldest princess for your appreciation?"

    Li Jingyun came out, just about to salute, the eldest princess covered her lips and smiled: "You are Shuang'er's future husband, family, what kind of salute, please don't."

    Zhou Heshuo disdain: "When did the Li House and the Han House decide to get married, why didn't this Palace hear about it."

      Li, the son of the Li family has both civil and military skills, there is no better marriage than this, and Mrs. Li nodded as well."

    "How come I heard that Jing Yun is alone recently, and all the good things in the house are piled up in that person's room." Zhou Heshuo shook his head, "I still want your love for marriage matters. I wish it well, what's the sweetness of the twisted melon?"

    Hua Yue stood behind Li Jing Yun, and the more she listened, the colder she became.

    Why are the two officials quarreling? No matter what the quarrel, the direction is getting more and more crooked, why doesn't she know that the son-in-law has a favorite person in the mansion?

    "Your Highness." Shen Zhiluo said suddenly, "The auspicious time is coming."

    Zhou Heshuo returned to his senses, and waved his sleeves: "Jing Yun, let's go."

    "Yes."

    The long arrow with the feathers quickly and accurately hit the white rabbit in the cage.

    Hua Yue looked on with a smile, and handed the back basket and banyan net to Badou, so that he could follow to pick up the prey shot by the young master.

    However, Li Jingyun retracted the bow and said directly: "You go with me."

    Hua Yue was taken aback for a moment, looked left and right, and said not quite sure: "Master, are you going to be a slave?"

    "Hmm."

    "The slave and the servant girl." She frowned and gestured, "It may not have the strength of eight fights."

    "Master wants you to go." Li Jingyun looked down at her, "Why, not willing?"

    Hua Yue shook her head, turned Rong Wang behind her back, and smiled at him. But just as he was about to go with him, he felt a chill on the back of his head for no reason.

    She looked behind her subconsciously, and saw the dragon flag on the hunting ground, the eldest princess was sitting in the dragon flag playing with her fingers, looking at her with fixed eyes.

    "..." With a snort in her heart, Hua Yue said stiffly, "If the servant says she is not willing, can she not go now?"

    Following her line of sight, Li Jingyun saw Shen Zhiluo standing on the sidelines. Still want to talk.

    "Want to stay for a private meeting?" With cold eyes, Li Jingyun took care of the net on her shoulders and whispered close to her, "Dreaming."
