Chapter Eight Mandarin Ducks
In the side room of Rongqing Hall, Jia Yun was taking a nap.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house, which immediately woke up Jia Yun and alertly said: "Who..."
Someone outside the house said in a charming voice: "Uncle Yun, your yard has been tidied up. The old lady ordered me to lead you there."
Jia Yun shook his head. He had always been a light sleeper. Most of the time he was in a border area and did not dare to sleep deeply. Especially when the Tartars invaded the border last year, it was rare to get a good night's sleep.
Hearing the coquettish voice outside the door, Jia Yun also came to his senses. He stood up and stepped forward to open the door. A pretty girl appeared in front of him. He had a waist and slender shoulders, an oval face, eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a few tiny invisible stars on both cheeks. The little freckles on her face add a bit of handsomeness and liveliness to this girl, which makes people feel close to her.
This person is the eldest maid beside Jia Mu, Yuanyang, who is known as the "Fierce Yuanyang".
"I've met Uncle Yun." Yuanyang saluted. Although Yuanyang is the eldest maid next to Jia Mu, all the young ladies are usually quite polite to her, but she respects herself and loves herself. She never takes pride in herself or bullies others, so she treats her politely. Wait, what's more, Jia Yun is not comparable to other gentle young ladies. If he is rude, who knows what trouble will happen to this man in front of him who gives Jia's mother a headache.
Jia Yun nodded, and immediately looked at a maid behind Yuanyang who was carrying a baggage, wearing an emerald-colored waistcoat, and her hair tied with a red ribbon, her eyes showing doubts.
Seeing this, Yuanyang explained: "The old lady said that Uncle Yun lacked someone to take care of his daily life. The maid sent from the house of my ex-mama Lai was treated in the old lady's house, so she was sent over to take care of Uncle Yun."
When Jia Yun heard this, his face was silent, his eyes were fixed, and he was quite puzzled. The maid sent by Aunt Lai had been nursed by Jia Mu, so maybe it wasn't Qingwen? Wasn't it supposed to be given to her precious grandson? From Jia Baoyu?
Seeing that Jia Yun was deep in thought, Yuanyang smiled and explained, "The old lady said, since Uncle Yun has settled in the house, there must be many people serving him. If he is disturbed by these common things, , you can’t calm down to study, right? The old lady also said that you don’t need to go to the old lady to say hello in the future, just study with peace of mind.”
Jia Yun nodded when he heard this and said, "That's okay, Sister Yuanyang will thank the old lady for me."
Jia Mu probably meant to make herself more honest, not to disturb his peace, and to give him a maid, perhaps to appease herself.
For people like Mother Jia, I guess they just want peace in the house and a comfortable old age...
Seeing that Jia Yun agreed, Yuanyang turned around and shouted: "Qingwen, I haven't seen Uncle Yun yet."
Jia Yun knew it when he heard Yuanyang calling Fang Qingwen.
Qingwen came forward and saluted, "I've met Uncle Yun."
Jia Yun nodded and took a look at Qingwen in front of him. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with an oval face, fox eyes, and willow-shaped eyebrows. Although she was still in her prime, there was already a charming charm in the corners of her eyebrows, and she had already appeared a few years ago. She has already revealed a bit of Tingting's graceful figure. This kind of embryo is rare, but Qingwen's eyebrows and eyes are slightly depressed...
Being looked at by Jia Yun like this, Qingwen snorted coldly and turned her head aside.
Jia Yun raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Qingwen was quite arrogant. She had just met her future master and she showed her face to him. With such a temper, only the loving Jia Baoyu could tolerate her.
From Jia Yun's point of view, Qingwen must be upset. She was originally sent to Lai's mother's house to work in the old lady's house, but instead of being served by the serious master of Rong's house, she was sent to wait for someone who showed up halfway. Jia Yun.
However, Jia Yun can also understand that the maids in Jia's house are all high-minded, especially the "arrogant" Qingwen. She does not have the fate of a lady, but she has the heart of a lady. She feels that she can compare with those ladies. , plus she was originally a maid of the Lai family and relied on the Lai family, which gave her even more confidence.
A trace of resentment appeared on Yuanyang's pretty face, and she smiled and said: "Uncle Yun, Qingwen has a hot temper, but her needlework is first-class."
The corners of Jia Yun's lips raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "If she is a well-behaved one, the old lady may not be able to part with her. I guess the old lady thinks that a girl with this kind of temperament is suitable for me."
When Yuanyang heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She originally thought that Uncle Yun was vulgar, violent, and difficult to get along with. She didn't expect that he would make fun of herself, and he was not as aggressive as the people in the hall.
Qingwen on the side heard Jia Yun say that she had a bad temper, and felt unhappy. She pouted and glared over.
When Jia Yun saw this, he didn't feel it was unexpected. He just thought it was funny. In his opinion, it was just the frankness of a little girl, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He tilted his head and smiled at the mandarin duck: "The old lady is too stingy, just give me a half like this." Big little girl."
Before Yuanyang could explain, Jia Yun continued to tease: "Otherwise, I will go find the old lady and talk about it, and let you do it. Anyway, they are all around the old lady, so they are all the same."
Yuanyang's face darkened when he heard this, and he said: "My ancestors still couldn't live without slaves, and the girl trained by the old lady is missed by everyone in this house. You have one, and you are not satisfied?"
Jia Yun was not embarrassed when he was rejected. He smiled and said: "Sister Yuanyang is a kind and loving person, but you can't follow the old lady all your life, right? You are not too young..."
Yuanyang looked at someone who was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Generally speaking, in the Qian Dynasty, the age for a woman to become a harem was fifteen years old, but it was not absolute. There were not a few women who got married at the age of twelve or thirteen.
But a girl of eighteen or nineteen is not yet married, so she is quite old for her age. What's more, a maid like Yuanyang needs her master's permission to get married.
"This slave only knows how to serve the old lady and can't think of anything else." Yuanyang twisted her sweat towel and said coldly.
Jia Yun curled his lips and said helplessly: "Yes, I am rejected by others for nothing..."
Seeing that Jia Yun did not force him, Yuanyang looked better and said, "Uncle Yun must be tired too. Come with me, I will take you to your yard."
After saying that, Yuanyang led the way forward, regardless of whether Jia Yun followed.
Jia Yun didn't care, so he followed him. Qingwen, who was on the side, saw that no one was paying attention to her. She felt annoyed and wanted to get rid of her face on the spot, but then she thought about it. Jia Yun was the master after all, so he still had to give him a little face. He gritted his teeth and followed with his baggage on his back.
Through the garden path, Yuanyang walked in front to lead the way, but he always felt unhappy and didn't know why. As everyone knows, Jia Yun deliberately followed Yuanyang, looking at the graceful back unscrupulously, especially the curved hip line in the sun. It's so real and clear that it makes people's hearts beat.
"Bah, I'm really ashamed."
Jia Yun was stroking his chin and tasting his feet when he heard a burst of screams from behind.
The man who was leading the way turned around when he heard the words and saw someone looking at him unscrupulously. Then he saw Qingwen, who was following behind, glaring at someone fiercely. He suddenly came to his senses, and his cheeks instantly turned red.
He glared at Jia Yun again with an angry face. Jia Yun saw this and said hurriedly: "You can't blame me for this. Who told you to walk in front? I can't walk with my eyes closed."
Seeing Jia Yun acting like such a rogue with strong arguments, Yuanyang was angry and annoyed. He suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted coldly.
For some reason, Qingwen seemed to be trying to maintain her sense of presence. She had nothing to do with her, but she wanted to disrupt the situation. She heard Qingwen exclaim: "Just looking at the road, there's no need to stare... stare...
"
As Qingwen spoke, she looked at the direction of the two halves of the arc behind Yuanyang, mumbling something that she couldn't say.
When Yuanyang saw where Qingwen was staring, he didn't know what Qingwen was referring to, and his cheeks turned red.
Following her, you can see only a handful of things...
Jia Yun didn't take it seriously, turned around and yelled angrily: "I didn't look at you, why are you so anxious?"
"Bah, you dare to look around, I have to knock those two dead fish beads of yours off." Qingwen turned red with anger and said viciously.
"Hey..." This little girl has such a bad temper that even her master dares to stop her. She is really impatient.
Jia Yun did not quarrel with the little girl Qingwen, and "threatened": "You little girl, you are so insignificant, I will beat you to death."
Qingwen was not afraid when she heard this, her little peach blossom eyes were suddenly filled with water mist, she gritted her teeth and said, "I dare to say that even if you beat me to death today."
.......
Faced with Qingwen's stubbornness, Jia Yun was helpless. She originally wanted to scare the little girl, but who would have thought that the little girl became stubborn.
The mandarin duck on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and scolded Qingwen: "You little girl, you are bumping into a guest. How can you talk to the master like this? You have never forgotten the old lady's teachings."
Qingwen didn't care about this. Jia Yun was not a good-tempered person earlier, but Jia's mother wanted to give her to Jia Yun as a maid. It was really bad luck. Seeing Jia Yun's infatuation, she screamed
The man was disgusted, so he risked his life and said: "I'm right, I want to beat the slave to death, and that will be my life."
Yuanyang became anxious when she saw Qingwen risking her life. She knew Jia Yun's temperament. He was someone who dared to contradict the old lady in public, so it was not easy to get along with her. She hurriedly said to Jia Yun: "Uncle Yun, Qingwen.
The girl has just entered the house not long ago, and she still doesn’t know the rules in the house, so let her be spared this time. What’s more, Qingwen is the person close to the old lady after all, so we can’t hurt her good intentions.”
Jia Yun was speechless immediately, Yuanyang even used Jia Mu to suppress him, but Jia Yun was just trying to scare people, how could he really argue with a little girl, so he said: "Come on, I am still an unreasonable person? I am just a naughty person.
Yan, how could he really beat this little girl to death?"
Yuanyang didn't believe what he said. How could he say such naughty things?
Seeing the suspicious look on Yuanyang's face, Jia Yun didn't bother to explain, and said nonchalantly: "Dede, I am a wicked person, and I do all kinds of evil. Today I am very vicious, and I will hurt you first."
