90 Days of Spring: 20th day
The layout of Yunjinzhai is exquisite. The verandah outside the book pavilion connects to the Moon Cave Gate. From here, you can go directly to the Huxin Pavilion in the backyard, and you can come and go freely.
Miaomiao stormed out of the attic, hid at the base of the wall and sobbed. She squatted down around her knees, and pearls of different sizes fell on the ground at her feet, shining brightly in the sun. She wept in a low voice, her voice was too small to be heard, more like the cry of a newly born animal cub for help.
She didn't know why she was so sad, but when she thought of Yang Fu's considerate smile and the voice "I will take you back together", she couldn't help but want to cry. It was clearly the words she was looking forward to the most, but they were sour for no reason.
Why does he know what she thinks? He treats her so well, it will only make her more greedy.
Being kind to her is no longer enough for her. She wants more, a more special relationship. It wasn't like this originally, Miaomiao was a little panicked, she was already satisfied with talking to Yang Fu, but now...she wants to monopolize everything about him, and wants him to like her, preferably as much as she likes him.
Miaomiao hugged her chest tightly, it was so suffocated that it was hard to breathe. Wei Ling is right, this place is not suitable for her, she wants to go back to the water.
Looking at the beads all over the floor, she raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, picking it up slowly while choking. Nai He didn't pick up much, and they smashed into the soil under her feet one by one, scorching uneven potholes.
She still wanted to cry, but the emotion in her chest quickly spread and grew, like vines full of life, filling the corners of her body at a speed she couldn't control. She couldn't control it, she could only turn into water droplets and flow out of her body. When Biru beat her just now, she wasn't sad, only angry, but when Yang Fu came out and looked at her with that serious and gentle look, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Only she knew how much she wanted to hide in his arms and cry bitterly. But no, she endured it abruptly, until her eyes were sore, and she couldn't hold it back in the end.
Footsteps came from behind, getting closer and closer to the Moon Cave Gate, Yang Fu's deep and pleasant voice sounded: "Miaomiao?"
Miaomiao trembled all over, staring blankly at the pearl beans all over the floor, and after a while she picked them up in her sleeves in panic. She cried so much just now that she had no time to pick it up, she clenched her pink lips in annoyance...
Seeing that Yang Fu was about to come over, she said without hesitation, "Don't come over!"
When the voice fell, the footsteps at the door stopped. Only separated by a wall, Yang Fu knew she was inside, and the little maid spoke loudly and with unprecedented seriousness. In my impression, she has always been soft and cowardly, and never knew that she had such a stubborn side. Yang Fu did not let go, "Didn't you say that you will tell this king if you are bullied in the future? Miaomiao, Biru is up to you." If you want to deal with it, this king will make the decision for you."
Miaomiao picked up all the pearls silently, she tilted her head and wiped her tears on her shoulders, and complained childishly: "Not only this time, last time she hit me deliberately, causing me to spill hot water on my hands Last time, it hurt for several days. And last time, she insulted me... The prince is such a broad-minded and kind-hearted person, how can the servant girls below be so vicious?"
While criticizing other people's evidence, they also did not forget to praise him. This little girl will really please him.
Looking at the stone wall in front of him, Yang Fu bent his lips and smiled slightly, "Then what do you think should be done?"
To be honest, Miaomiao didn't know either, she didn't have any seriousness in her heart, she just knew that this person was very bad, and wanted to teach her a lesson. She thought for a while, "She hit me, and I want to fight back."
Yang Fu was slightly surprised, "Is this the only request?"
Miaomiao nodded, "Yes!"
In her eyes, this way is already very happy. She has a kind heart and can't think of any evil ideas for a while. Thinking of Bi Ru's annoying face, her mood improved a lot, and she followed Yang Fu eagerly.
At this time, Miaomiao was only focused on venting her anger, and didn't think about another aspect at all. Why did Yang Fu help her vent her anger? It was a mistake for her to break into the bookstore, but instead of blaming himself, he even helped her deal with Biru.
Why?
*
In the courtyard, two servants on the left and right supported one person, and with a little force on the servant girl's shoulders, she fell to the ground with a plop.
Bi Ru's eyes were red, and she was about to burst into tears, staring at the goose-yellow figure in front of her with hatred. She had just learned about this from the prince, and her mood changed from shock to annoyance. The prince actually went to war for this maid, saying that she had no special feelings, and she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed.
Why? They are also maids, why can she make the prince treat her differently?
Miaomiao, who was treated differently, walked up to Biru step by step. She had never been slapped before, so she didn't know which posture was most comfortable. She snatched up her sleeves and gestured earnestly. It wasn't that she didn't pay attention to Bi Ru's hostile gaze, but instead she pursed her lips and smiled, "My lord said you can't be a maid and be too rampant, and a maid who is too rampant must be taught a lesson. I am following orders." Yes, it's useless for you to be angry."
After finishing speaking, imitating Bi Ru, she raised her left hand, and before she could see clearly the contents of her palm, a slap had already landed heavily on her face.
Bi Ru was stunned by the slap, she didn't have time to react, she just felt the severe pain on her face, it was not like a normal slap at all. When she saw what was in Miaomiao's hand, she was shocked: "In your hand..."
There were bloodstains on her face, and the bright red blood slid down her cheeks, looking quite terrifying. Miaomiao didn't think that the consequences of this thing would be so serious, she had never used it, it was given to her by Yang Fu's order. Suppressing the surprise in her heart, she took a step back: "I'm done, I'm leaving."
The leather bound on the palm has barbs, and the skin will be ripped apart when you pat it down. Miaomiao's strength is weak, so she only scratched Biru's face, leaving a few deep and shallow blood marks. If so, it is very serious for the girl's family. If there is a scar, her appearance will be ruined in this life.
Bi Ru's cheeks were bleeding, and she called Miaomiao crazily: "Come back! Bitch, I will never let you go!"
When Miaomiao heard the words, she turned her head and stuck out her tongue, and quickly fled back to the attic.
Bi Ru's face was too frightening, she let out a sigh of relief, stood outside the bead curtain and whispered: "My lord."
Yang Fu was probably reading a book, and only after a while did he answer her: "Finished?"
Miaomiao hummed, and couldn't help complaining: "Why didn't you say that that thing hit people so badly? I saw that her face was bleeding, which was much worse than mine."
After a pause, Yang Fu did not answer her, but instead asked: "Then do you relieve your anger?"
Miaomiao smiled, her eyebrows curved into a crescent moon, "Exhaust."
That's it, Yang Fu didn't say anything.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Miaomiao still did not leave, standing behind the curtain hesitantly, after a long time he asked uncertainly: "Does the prince still count what he said this morning..."
Yang Fu bent his lips and deliberately asked: "What are you talking about?"
He really forgot!
Miaomiao looked at him disappointedly, with resentment in her eyes. With her hands behind her back, her fingers were twisted into a ball, "It's just... the prince said that he would take me back to Beijing together, this sentence..."
But hearing a low voice in the pavilion, the wind blows slowly, the beaded curtains of necklaces tinkle, and Yang Furuan's side face is faintly visible, elegant and graceful, warm and moist like jade. He opened and closed his lips, and the sound of gurgling water flowed past his ears: "Always count, we will set off in the future, remember to pack up and salute when you go back."
Miaomiao's eyes were shining brightly, and she nodded again and again: "Okay!"
Yun Jinzhai didn't have any orders for the time being, so she left with a relaxed pace, and began to pack up and salute after listening to Yang Fu's words. She has nothing but a few clothes, one or two pieces of jewelry, and a purse of pearls and jade pendants hidden under the mattress.
*
After Miaomiao left, the calm in Yunjinzhai had not yet returned.
Yang Fu summoned his servants and gave a few instructions calmly. The servant responded, and went outside to explain to his companion, Bi Ru overheard a few words. I saw her eyes were red, from the madness to panic just now, she desperately wanted to break free from the shackles of the servant: "No, the prince can't treat me like this..."
It's a pity that no one listened to her resistance, and a heart-wrenching cry came from the courtyard not long after. There was only one sound, and then the sound seemed to be choked, and there was no more sound.
Yang Fu closed his eyes and rubbed the space between his brows.
He doesn't like self-righteous people the most, and he can be speculated or speculated about him on weekdays. Now that he has a weakness, he can no longer accept that people can do whatever they want.
*
In the servant's room, Miaomiao folded a piece of clothing three or five times, and couldn't hide the upturned corners of her mouth.
She is going to the capital. I heard that the capital is bustling and prosperous. She can meet people from all corners of the country, and there are many strange things. She held her cheeks with a happy smile, leaned into the mattress, buried her head in the pillow and laughed, "I can go to the capital now!"
As soon as Cen Yun entered the room, she heard these words talking to herself. At first, she was stunned, but thinking of the various special treatment the prince gave her, she felt it was reasonable. "I'll just say, what's the fun of being alone there."
Cen Yun went to the side to light the oil lamp, saw her smiling face, and said without saying anything: "The prince said he would take me back to the palace in the capital, Sister Cen Yun, I'm leaving!"
The two of them lived for twenty days at least, and it was only because of Cen Yun's care that Miaomiao was able to live comfortably in the house. She is grateful to Cen Yun, and now that she is leaving, she feels a little bit reluctant. Thinking of maybe not being able to see each other in the future, the tip of the nose is sour, and the joy is mixed with reluctance.
Cen Yun groaned, and patted her forehead, "Are you still going to cry? My little ancestor, this is a great happy event. If the prince is willing to let you go, he must value you very much. You But you have to fight hard, you can't be muddled all day long! The palace is no different than other courtyards, and there are more rules than here. When you go there, you have to pay more attention to everything."
After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really difficult for her, so he let go and said helplessly: "Come on, you'd better please the prince first."
Miaomiao nodded half-understanding, "I will."
She was about to say something, but was interrupted by Cen Yun's next sentence, "Do you still remember Bi Ru who always troubled you? She offended the prince for some reason today. The boiling water burned my whole body. It is said that he is lying in the house dying, unable to see anyone."
Miaomiao snorted, why is it different from what she saw today? She just slapped her, so it wouldn't disfigure her... Besides, what happened to the burn?
Seeing her confusion, Cen Yun guessed that she had nothing to do with it, so she waved her hands and gave up: "It's probably something that made the prince unhappy. She has always been open-minded, and trouble will happen sooner or later."
Halfway through the walk, I couldn't help expressing emotion: "But the prince is really serious this time..."
Leaving Miaomiao sitting down on the bed, resting her chin in deep thought.
*
Leaving the day after tomorrow, taking advantage of the last chance, Miaomiao would go to Huxin Pavilion to see Wei Ling almost every day.
Wei Ling didn't find her annoying, but she talked less and less.
Today Miaomiao told him what happened, angrily and vividly, "I've never seen such a vexatious person!"
Speaking of Bi Ru's end, she sighed, "Actually, I didn't want to make her suffer so badly, but the prince still punished her severely."
This time, Wei Ling turned into a human body and sat under the tree, with one leg crossed in a relaxed posture, but his expression was not relaxed at all. As if he had chewed Miaomiao's words a thousand times, he couldn't hear his emotions and said: "So, he punished that maid specially for you?"
Miaomiao tilted her head and blinked, "In that case, it is true."
Wei Ling stared at her closely, wondering what she was thinking about.
It took a long time before he walked up to her, and spread out his palms, in which lay a piece of white jade quietly. The middle of the jade was hollowed out, and a drop of dark red blood flowed in the center, which was very strange.
"What is this?" Miaomiao asked in confusion.
Wei Ling tied a thumb-sized stone around her neck, "This is a blood stone. After you arrive in the capital, if you want to talk to me, hold this stone and call my name. I can hear you."
