A Dream of Red Mansions: Affectionate Beauty

Chapter 6

Zijuan was taken aback by the sudden outburst of anger, and her body swayed involuntarily, which made Daiyu sit up straight suddenly, opened her mouth but did not dare to breathe out.After all, people who have practiced martial arts have sharp eyesight and quick hands. Seeing the danger, Yan Li rushed forward with one stride, stretched out his hand to stabilize the stool and frowned, "Get down quickly!"

Zijuan didn't dare to be brave any more, and hurriedly got down from the stool, her heart was still pounding with fear.Seeing that she landed safely, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Yan Li was still angry and said: "Didn't I tell you to just take care of your girl, why are you doing this job of wiping again?"

Zijuan wanted to tell what Qing'er ordered her to do, but when she turned her head and saw Daiyu winking at her, she had to hold back, and just wanted to make up a reason, why not Qing'er suddenly ran in from the door and grabbed her. Zijuan's arms complained: "Oh, sister Zijuan, why are you doing this job? Didn't I just say that this job was ordered by the young master to do this work, and my sister was not allowed to interfere. Why didn't my sister listen to my sister? The son entered the door, and the elder sister stepped on the stool to reach for the vase. If it fell down, how would the younger sister explain to the son? Those who knew it was the elder sister who was sympathetic to the younger sister, but those who didn’t know thought that the younger sister bullied the elder sister because she was a newcomer! " After finishing speaking, he quickly turned his head and knelt down at Yan Li's feet with a plop, pleading, "Young Master, don't blame Sister Zijuan, it's because Sister saw that I was wiping hard by myself and couldn't stand it, so she helped me Yes, if you want to blame, young master, you can blame Qing'er!" After saying that, he lowered his head deeply, as if waiting for punishment.

Both Daiyu and Zijuan were stunned by Qing'er's upside-down words, they looked at each other and couldn't say anything more.Yan Li's expression didn't change much, his face was dark from beginning to end, and he shouted: "Qing'er, you go out and wait outside my room, I'll come back to you." Qing'er saw that his face was not good, so he agreed With a sound, he got up and left.

After Qing'er left, Yan Li said to Zijuan, "It's a good thing that nothing happened, otherwise everyone would feel bad, and in the future, don't make up your own mind to work for others, lest your hard work be thankless!"

Hearing this, Zijuan said that Yan Li believed Qing'er and misunderstood herself. She wanted to defend herself, but she was afraid of causing trouble for Daiyu, so she had to swallow her breath, said "yes", and went away. Made tea.

Yan Licai came from outside, he was still wearing the clothes he had when he went out, white shirt and white gown, coupled with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, it made his whole person more heroic.

His appearance is so much better than Pan An's, and the beauty of the tree is facing the wind. I am afraid that most women will fall in love at first sight, and they can't help but want to look at him a few more times. However, Daiyu is feeling ashamed because of Baoyu's blow. At the same time, he was not interested in looking at other men, and just wanted to avoid them, so he shrank to the bed, hiding his body behind the tent.

Yan Li was full of thoughts at first, so he didn't notice Daiyu's avoidance at all. He just sat on the chair silently for a while, until Zijuan brought tea, Fang raised his head and sighed, and said to Daiyu: "Go out today and find out. An unfavorable news, I thought I should tell you, so here I come." After finishing speaking, seeing that she didn't respond, I solemnly said, "The two mansions of Ningrong and Rong have been copied early today!"

"Ah?!", Daiyu and Zijuan exclaimed in unison, Zijuan reacted first, rushed to Daiyu's collapse, and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

Daiyu's small face hidden behind the tent was even paler. She closed her eyes tightly and tried hard to suppress the shock and sorrow. She clenched her teeth and couldn't say a word. She clenched her hands into fists and her body almost trembled. One child.

Although Zijuan was also shocked, she didn't care about her own emotions at this moment, she was only worried about Daiyu, and asked again in a repeated voice: "Girl, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry!" Caressing her chest quickly, so that she can let her get through this breath.

Yan Li still sat motionless on the chair, didn't see Daiyu's expression, just lowered his head silently, with a hint of shame on his face.

In fact, everything was within his expectations, but he failed Baoyu's entrustment and failed to pick up the old lady, Mrs. Wang and others.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was lucky for them to be able to escape, and it would be even more difficult for the rest of them to escape this catastrophe.But even so, he still felt ashamed of Baoyu, and of course, because Daiyu was right in front of him, he felt even more ashamed of her.

Daiyu behind the tent didn't cry out after all, but once the breath came over, the tears rolled down silently like pearls with broken strings, and then coughed unceasingly, Zijuan hurriedly caressed and smoothed it, with great difficulty It made her stop coughing.

At first Yan Li heard Daiyu coughing violently, and wanted to go over to check, but he was afraid that Daiyu would feel embarrassed, so he had to hold back and wait quietly.After Daiyu managed to stop her coughing, but refused to cry, she held back her tears and didn't say a word.

Seeing Daiyu not moving for a while, Yan Li knew that it would be inconvenient for them to be here, so he got up and planned to leave.But just as he stood up, Daiyu suddenly asked him in a trembling voice: "Old lady, they... are... are you okay?"

Yan Li stopped in his tracks, with a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitating for a while before deciding, instead of telling a bad lie, it's better to make a quick knife to avoid future troubles, so he said truthfully: "I heard that Mrs. Shi is in a hurry, and I have already gone Already! As for the two adults and wives of the Jia family, they are all put in jail and awaiting punishment. Most of those insignificant slaves will be sold cheap or distributed to the frontiers!"

After Daiyu and Zijuan heard this, they became more and more mournful, Yan Li wanted to persuade him a few words, but felt that saying anything at this time was unnecessary, so he stood for a while, and left silently.

As soon as Yan Li left, Daiyu cried out with a "wow", followed by another burst of coughing.Zijuan was flustered by bluffing, Fang gradually stopped, and couldn't help but persuade: "My good girl, you should take a rest, you won't cry anymore when you get better, or you will let others down if you get sick again." It’s a good idea to heal.”

Daiyu couldn't hear it, she lay down on the bed and cried for half an hour, until she was exhausted, Fanglue stopped her mourning, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

In the front yard, when Yan Li came back from Daiyu's room, seeing Qing'er standing obediently in front of the door, his expression darkened immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Come in!" After speaking, he took the lead to enter the room.Qing'er hastily bowed her head and followed in.

Yan Li sat down on the chair, Qing Er hurriedly poured tea.Yan Li only picked up the tea leaves floating on it and blew on them, instead of drinking them, he put them down lightly, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the tea bowl.Qing'er raised her eyes for a peek, and saw that his face was more serious than it had been in the past few years, and her heart became more and more uneasy, and she didn't even dare to speak out, she just lowered her eyebrows and waited for Yan Li's question.

Yan Li's expression was serious, and he was silent for a long time, seeing Qing'er's complexion changing, Fang asked lightly: "Qing'er, how many years have you been by my side?"

Qing'er didn't know what he meant by the question, so he hurriedly figured it out, and Fang tremblingly said: "Return to Young Master, Qing'er has been serving Young Master since he was eight years old, and it has been six years now."

"Six years?!" Yan Limeng raised his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell down on the table with a "crash", and the scalding hot tea that he had never drunk before scattered and poured over half of the table.

"My lord, Qing'er knew I was wrong, please punish me, my lord!" Qing'er was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a "plop", trembling all over.

"You know what's wrong? What's wrong?" Yan Li's voice was not loud, but it was cold, Qing'er's heart grew colder and colder, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Qing'er...Qing'er...Qing'er shouldn't Let sister Zijuan work for Qing'er...Qing'er is wrong, please forgive Qing'er this time, and Qing'er will never dare again next time."

"Oh? So, you really ordered Zijuan to do it?" Yan Li sneered, and continued, "Qing'er, it seems that you have grown up, and your mind has become more active. You know how to imitate your master. I went to instruct others to work. In this way, I really can’t accommodate you in this small yard, why don’t I return the deed of sale to you tomorrow, and let you go free without charging you, how about it?”

"No, no, Qing'er won't leave, Qing'er will serve you for the rest of your life!" Qing'er burst into tears, ignoring her reserve and shyness, hugged Yan Li's leg, and begged bitterly, "My lord, please don't rush me away!" Qing'er is leaving. Qing'er was sold by his parents to the son's house when he was a child, and he has been taken care of by the son all the way to live until today. Now he is placed in this courtyard by the son. It is clean and relaxed. Qing'er is content with his heart. Son, let Qinger serve you for the rest of your life!"

Yan Li sneered and said: "You also know that I have been taking care of you all the way, so that you can live to this day? If so, why don't you know how to be grateful, but still make troubles for no reason and cause me these troubles? Tell me, if I still Keeping you here, how can I feel at ease in the future?"

"Young Master, Qing'er swears to God that I will never dare again! In fact, Qing'er didn't want to instruct Sister Zijuan, but Qing'er wiped out a few rooms in the front yard, which really violated the old disease. Her back hurts so much that she can't straighten up. I was afraid that I would blame the young master if I couldn't wipe it out, so I was ashamed to ask sister Zijuan. Now that Qing'er knew he was wrong, he went to kowtow to sister Zijuan and Miss Lin to admit his mistake, and begged the young master to give Qing'er another chance, Qing'er I kowtow to you!" After saying that, he really wanted to kowtow again.

Yan Li was extremely disappointed with Qing'er, but when she suddenly heard that she had suffered from back pain, she felt a little ashamed for a moment, so she waved her hand to stop her and said, "Forget it, since your old disease has relapsed, why didn't you tell me earlier? It doesn't matter if you wipe it a few days later, if you have any troubles because of it, I won't feel uneasy." After speaking, there was a short pause, and Fang sighed, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being. I take care, you just remember not to do such stupid things in the future, otherwise I will never forgive you next time!" After finishing speaking, she waved her hand and let her go.

Qing'er heaved a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, hurriedly kowtowed, and went out thankfully.As soon as he went out, Fang rubbed his chest and thought to himself, thanks to his brilliant mind two years ago, he stepped forward to protect the young master and hurt his waist at a critical moment, so the young master protected her like this, otherwise, depending on the young master's temper, this time she really There is no escape.
