After a while, Chen Changsheng arrived at the Tang Mansion.
The Tang Mansion is worthy of being the home of a wealthy businessman in Yan County. The house itself is a large house with three entrances and three exits. There is also a butler to greet you after you enter.
Later, he was taken to the guest room by the maid.
Chen Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable.
Tang Mingjing followed him all the way, and after arranging everything, he said: "Sir, please stay here for now. If there is anything you are not used to, Mingjing will ask his servants to make arrangements."
Chen Changsheng said: "There's nothing I'm not used to. It's just that Chen doesn't like being served by others. Please ask these maids to leave."
"Sir, you still have to leave one. Someone has to take care of your daily life and food. If you don't provide good hospitality, my father will have to teach me a lesson." Tang Mingjing said helplessly.
Chen Changsheng turned his head and glanced at the maid standing at the door, and said, "This..."
Tang Mingjing looked at the maid at the door and said, "Hexiang, please go down first. Yunxiang will stay here to take care of you."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Changsheng saw this and said nothing more.
Then I heard Tang Mingjing say: "It's getting late now. We'll discuss anything tomorrow. Sir, just go to sleep peacefully."
After Tang Mingjing left, Chen Changsheng returned to the room.
Tang Shijie wanted to keep him in the Tang family for a few more days, so he picked him up overnight. Chen Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was really curious about the jade pendant, and he wasn't willing to leave until he understood it.
Yunxiang stood at the door and asked, "Sir, do you want to take a rest?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: "I can read, you can do your thing."
After hearing this, Yunxiang pursed her lips and said, "If you have any instructions, sir, just let Yunxiang know."
"Um."
Chen Changsheng agreed, then lowered his head and read a book.
It lasted half an hour.
During this period, Yunxiang stood aside and waited, saying nothing, just staying there.
Chen Changsheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Yunxiang still standing there, so he said: "You can sit down, or you can go back and rest first. Chen will stay up late reading, so he doesn't need anyone to wait on him."
Yunxiang shook her head and said: "Master has not rested yet, Yunxiang will always stay by his side."
Chen Changsheng sighed and called to her: "Go and bring a chair over and sit down."
After hearing this, Yunxiang shook her head quickly and said, "No, sir, Yunxiang is a servant and cannot sit down."
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and said, "You sit down when I tell you to, there are so many rules."
Yunxiang thought that her husband was a little unhappy, so she quickly brought a chair and sat down honestly.
She put her hands on her knees and sat upright without moving.
Chen Changsheng asked while reading: "How old are you?"
"Sixteen." Yunxiang replied.
Chen Changsheng said: "It looks a little young. Have you ever read a book before?"
"I know the words, but I haven't read the book." Yunxiang said.
"How many do you recognize?"
Yunxiang thought for a moment and said: "About a thousand or so words..."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "It's not easy to know so many words."
Yunxiang said: "Not many of the maids in the house know many characters. Yunxiang only knows a few hundred. The young master's companion, Qiu Mo, knows the most characters. There is no character in the book that she does not recognize."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and asked, "Want to learn more words?"
Yunxiang nodded and said, "I think so."
"Tell me why?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Yunxiang said: "You can live a better life if you know more words."
"Where does this begin?"
"A maid who is more literate will have the opportunity to enter the upper room to serve the master or the young master, and her life will be much better, and her monthly allowance will be more."
Yunxiang spoke frankly, and her eyes were particularly clean when she spoke, as if she didn't think too much at all.
Chen Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
Who allowed this world to be like this?
I don’t know how many people are like Yunxiang in this world.
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment, handed over the book in his hand, and said, "You read it and I listen."
Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, then took the book and took a look.
She pursed her lips and said, "Sir, there are some words in the book that Yunxiang doesn't even recognize."
Chen Changsheng said: "Just read it."
Yunxiang was a little flustered for a moment. She was afraid that she would make a mistake in pronouncing it and make her husband unhappy.
"Destiny is called nature, self-discipline is called Tao, and cultivating the Tao is called teaching. The Tao is not necessary, not necessary, but..."
Yunxiang looked confused, she didn't recognize the next word.
Chen Changsheng said: "We can't leave for a moment."
"Don't leave for a moment."
Yunxiang said: "Sir, Yunxiang will pronounce it wrong, otherwise..."
"Keep reading." Chen Changsheng said.
Yunxiang lowered her head, gritted her teeth, picked up the book and started reading again.
"Don't see what's hidden, don't show what's subtle, so a gentleman is truly unique."
"A gentleman beware of independence."
"Therefore, a gentleman should be cautious about being alone."
The further she read, the more timid she became. After making several mistakes in a row, her voice became softer and softer.
I don't dare to read any more.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why don't you read it anymore?"
"rue……"
Yunxiang spoke, her eyes a little red, but she didn't cry, she was just a little scared.
"Sir, please punish me." Yunxiang said.
Chen Changsheng said: "How can you recognize it if you don't look at it?"
Yunxiang was stunned for a moment.
Then I heard the teacher say: "Read it again from the beginning. If you make the same mistake again, I will punish you."
Yunxiang lowered her head, picked up the book and started reading from the beginning.
She did not mispronounce the place she had missed before.
However, there were several other mistakes, and Chen Changsheng corrected them word by word.
I read it continuously for nearly half an hour.
There were nearly a hundred mistakes, but every time she finished reading an article, her husband would ask her to read it again. Fortunately, she was smart and would not make the same mistakes twice, and her husband did not scold her.
It's getting later and later.
"Sincerity is the beginning and end of things; dishonesty is nothing. Therefore, a gentleman's sincerity is the most precious thing..."
Chen Changsheng said: "Let's stop reading here."
Yunxiang put away the book and asked: "Sir, are you going to take a rest?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Go back and continue reading tomorrow."
Yunxiang agreed, then stood up and came to the husband's side.
"Yunxiang helps Mr. change his clothes."
"Um?"
Chen Changsheng paused for a moment, ducked aside, and said, "There is no need to wait for changing clothes. Chen doesn't have this habit. You can go down and rest first. Also, remember to close the door."
Yun Xiang paused for a moment, then her expression suddenly became lonely, but quickly returned to normal.
"...Yunxiang knows."
After saying that, she turned around and left the room.
She closed the door carefully and looked back.
Yunxiang took a deep breath and raised her head to look at the bright moon high in the sky.
She was thinking...
The husband probably doesn't like her.
Come to think of it, she is just an ordinary maid.
Yunxiang stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, looked back at the room and then left.
