Chapter One Hundred and Twelve
"It's a bit stuffy inside, please come out and get some fresh air!" She Yue smiled gently and bowed to Cao Yi.
Cao Yi slapped her forehead with some annoyance, which made She Yue take a step back in fright. She was a little at a loss and didn't know why the young master's mood suddenly changed, and he slapped her forehead fiercely.
However, Cao Yi made no movement after that. He just looked at the lights of Jiangning City in the distance quietly. After a long time, he finally said: "Mu Yue."
"Um?"
At this time, catkins-like snowflakes began to fall in the sky. Cao Yi stretched out his palm to catch the falling snowflakes. His warm palms felt a hint of coolness, and the snowflakes slowly melted away, as if they had never existed in this world before.
Same.
"How have you been since you came to Cao Mansion?"
She Yue turned her head, glanced at Cao Yi, then turned back, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly: "She Yue... has never had such a good time. She no longer has to be as worried and afraid as before, and there is no mutual resistance.
The intrigues between each other... I live a fulfilling life with my sisters every day. Although I am a little tired sometimes, I am really happy."
"Mu Yue, what was your original name..."
She Yue's expression was complicated, but she finally showed a smile and said, "She Yue has forgotten her previous name. From the moment I entered Cao Mansion, I am just She Yue, the maid of Qingyun Pavilion."
Cao Yi turned his head and stared at She Yue, "Are you... afraid of me?"
At this time, She Yue also raised her head and looked at Cao Yi. There seemed to be a hint of sadness and stubbornness in her eyes. Cao Yi didn't know why She Yue had such a look, especially when he was looking at her.
when.
"I remember your original name was Ying'er, right?" Cao Yi was still looking ahead, but he didn't notice at all that when he called out the name Ying'er, the tears in She Yue's eyes had already fallen silently.
fall down.
Cao Yi didn't wait for She Yue's answer, so he turned around to look. She Yue quickly lowered his head when Cao Yi turned around. Because his back was facing the light in the room, Cao Yi didn't notice She Yue's face at this time.
of tears.
"In Jinfeng Tower, the slave girl's name is indeed Ying'er." After a while, She Yue said quietly.
Cao Yi keenly caught what she said "in the Jinfeng Tower", hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Then the name before..."
"Before... this slave consciously fell into prostitution and entertained people with sex all day long. He didn't want the surname and name given by his ancestors to be sold, so he only used a pseudonym... and was later bought by the young master from Jinfeng Tower. He didn't know
What will happen in the end? Will the young master give it away or sell it again? So I can only be cautious when I first enter the house.
I don’t want to be favored by the young master, but I want not to be spurned by the young master... Now, after nearly three months in the Cao Mansion, I naturally know the young master’s character. The young master is not like other playboys, and he also takes good care of us.
And cultivated us carefully. That’s why I told myself that from now on, I will be the maid of Cao Mansion, and She Yue of Qingyun Pavilion, and all the things before will no longer have anything to do with me."
She Yue had a warm smile on her face from beginning to end when she said these words. Regardless of whether Cao Yi could see it or not, she bowed to Cao Yi who was looking at the lights in the city in the distance. At the end, she said with an almost inaudible
The voice said: "My real name is Yingluo, my surname is Lin, my grandfather is Lin Renzhao."
Cao Yi suddenly turned his head and asked in shock: "Lin Renzhao, the famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
She Yue smiled sadly: "What about the famous generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty? He was just a criminal official of the Southern Tang Dynasty. When Hou Shang was the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he ordered my grandfather to be poisoned. All the men in the family were slaughtered, and all the female relatives were killed.
Take him to the prison." She Yue said these words with a trembling body.
"At that time, my mother couldn't bear the humiliation, and her grandfather and father had both passed away. She was so miserable that she committed suicide in the church a year later. I was left alone at the age of five to live in fear in the church..."
She Yue raised her head and looked at Cao Yi: "When the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, General Cao was the commander-in-chief of the Yan Dynasty. He led his troops to invade Jiangning. He used to be sick to persuade the soldiers not to kill anyone rashly. Thousands of people in Jiangning City were saved.
Preservation, on that day the Korean lady accompanied the army to Jiangning. After the city was broken, she persuaded the master to order the dissolution of the Southern Tang Jiaofang. The slave was only five years old at the time. She was still young, but she remembered the kindness of the lady. Later, due to various circumstances, she was sold into gold
In Fenglou, I was already disheartened and felt that I could not see the future. At that time, I was worried about the fate of becoming a prostitute in the future after entering Jinfenglou. I just studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with all my life, and worked hard to be like Li.
My mother showed herself, hoping to become a geisha instead of a prostitute. Later, when the young master came to Jinfeng Tower to pick someone, she thought... she thought that the young master was another... a dandy who lived and drank. She originally just wanted to avoid being discovered and selected by the young master, but later
I stepped forward because I wanted to protect Tan Yun..."
She Yue seemed to be recalling the situation at that time, pursed her lips and said: "When I entered the Cao Mansion later, I felt uneasy and very afraid of the young master. After some time, I heard from Sister Hongxiu and what I saw.
When I arrived, I realized that the young master is a good man. Later, when I met his wife, I immediately remembered that it was the Korean lady who wanted to disband the monastery and let us live a good life."
"Calculating this way, I was saved once by the madam, and again by the young master. That's why I said that from now on I will be the maid of Cao Mansion, She Yue of Qingyun Pavilion."
Cao Yi turned around, looked at She Yue who was trembling slightly in the cold wind, handed the warm soup lady in her hand to She Yue, and said with a wry smile: "Then why do you always act like you want to distance yourself from me?
, isn’t it bad to be like Hong Xiu and Tan Yun?”
She Yue lowered her head and looked at Mrs. Tang who Cao Yi had put into her hand, and said softly: "Before, it was because I was afraid of the young master. I was afraid that if I made the young master angry, I would be... Later, after I learned about the young master's character, I respected him. The Cao family is more important to me than the young master."
, She Yue was deeply grateful for the two life-saving graces, so she just respected..."
Cao Yi turned around and walked towards Gengxintang. When he passed by She Yue, he patted She Yue on the shoulder and said jokingly: "You don't need to be so reserved in front of me in the future, you don't need to be so outgoing and distant. If
If you really respect me and want to repay me, just wait until you are free and your name is Lin Yingluo before you commit yourself to me..."
She Yue was left alone, still holding Mrs. Tang, in a daze in the yard where the snow was getting heavier and heavier, with Cao Yi's last words in the center of her mind.
"Master, where is sister She Yue?" Tan Yun saw Cao Yi coming back but did not see She Yue, so he asked with a smile.
"Oh, she's still outside breathing the fresh air. The main reason is that you were too noisy and noisy, so you made your sister Sheyue go outside to be quiet!" Cao Yi scratched Tan Yun's small face with his hand.
nose, deliberately teasing Tan Yun.
It made Tan Yun a little shy, and he said coyly: "Tan Yun is not noisy, Tan Yun is just a little lively. Sister Hongxiu said that Tan Yun is cute like this."
"Haha, I'm teasing you, go outside and pull Sister Tan Yun back. It's quite cold outside, don't get cold." Cao Yi said with a hearty smile.
Then She Yue was pulled back by Tan Yun, but her eyes were red, her face was red, her eyes were evading, and she didn't dare to look at Cao Yi at all. Hongxiu was defeated by the attacker just now, and was giving way to
While letting others sit down, after seeing Hongxiu's condition, he couldn't help but look at Cao Yi and then She Yue with a slightly suspicious look. Repeatedly, he always felt that something was strange in the middle.
Cao Yi spread his hands to Hongxiu and said that he didn't know what was going on.
After a while, Cao Yi looked at the engraved copper kettle, clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention and said: "Okay, okay, it's getting late, it's already Hai hour and it's almost midnight.
Everyone, let’s take a bath and rest early.”
Then he took out the completely finished soap from the molds that he had put away before, and distributed it to everyone, saying: "This is the Flower Language Soap that Young Master and Hongxiu just made this afternoon. Give it to everyone. From now on, you will
You can stop using saponin and bath beans. Just use this soap. The effect is more than ten times better than the two of them. Let Hongxiu teach you how to use it. Anyway, if you keep using it, your skin will become better and better.
The better.”
Then, amidst the cheers of everyone, Cao Yi walked back to his main room and prepared to wash up and go to bed. Starting tomorrow, he will enter student life.
