139 Zhuangzi (Part 1)
"He won't be angry. He said he would take the blame for me." Xiao Tingyun spoke from the corner with shaking hands.
But she didn't expect that her mother would be so cruel right from the start.
He almost directly called Pei Yuning a villain with ulterior motives.
When Xiao Huanshan and Song heard this, they were stunned and speechless for a long time.
Two days later, Xiao Tingyun got on a carriage heading to the farm outside the city.
The weather was fine, but when they came out, my grandparents looked worried, especially my grandfather, a tall and majestic man. At that moment, his eyes were a little red, and he arrogantly told her to go away quickly!
Xiao Tingyun sighed...
"Miss? We are out of town!" Lanzhi said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tingyun quietly lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Already passed through the city gate and is outside.
As the number of people gradually decreased, Xiao Tingyun gradually relaxed.
The farm was a gift from Mrs. Song to her daughter. It was not far from Kyoto, but the countryside had beautiful scenery. It was the autumn harvest season, so it must be even more lively.
They walked and stopped along the way, and when they were tired they found a place to rest and eat something. After a few hours, they soon arrived at the farm.
Before coming, Song had already prepared everything for her daughter and had also arranged for the manager of the farm to take good care of the young lady.
So, when Xiao Tingyun's carriage arrived, he saw the servants of the manor standing at the door with their heads lowered.
The leader was the manager, a kind middle-aged man.
Xiao Tingyun was helped off the carriage, and the steward came forward and led everyone to bow respectfully, "Miss, how are you? My surname is Zhuang, and I am the steward of the manor. I have cleaned up the manor in the past two days. Miss, please come in."
Xiao Tingyun asked everyone to stand up, looked around again, nodded and responded, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhuang."
Manager Zhuang hurriedly said it was not hard, and led Xiao Tingyun in, and asked the servants to carry the luggage in.
When they arrived at a courtyard in the east yard, the manor steward said with a smile, "Miss, this is the best courtyard in the manor. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"
There is an osmanthus tree in the yard, which is full of fragrance, and there is a tank of koi in the middle, which is pleasing to the eye.
The inside was cleaned tidy, and upon closer inspection it was somewhat similar to the decoration of Shuyu Tower, which surprised Xiao Tingyun.
"The appearance of this dormitory..." Xiao Tingyun was both happy and confused.
Manager Zhuang explained, "Madam sent someone to give instructions on how to clean it up. She said it would be more comfortable for the young lady to live in."
"Mother is thoughtful."
Xiao Tingyun was naturally satisfied. "Manager Zhuang, have someone carry the things I brought to the side room."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Tingyun asked Luzhi to go over and keep an eye on it. It was getting late today, so they could start again tomorrow after seeing the people in the farm.
Manager Zhuang nodded in agreement and then went out.
"Miss, this farm looks pretty good." Lanzhi said happily after looking around.
Caixing also nodded, "It's really good."
"Mother has prepared so much, it must have taken a lot of effort." Xiao Tingyun was very grateful for Song's attentiveness and concern.
She asked Lanzhi to grind ink for her. After she arrived at the farm safely, she had to write a letter home.
After Xiao Tingyun finished writing the letter, he gave it to Caixing and said, "Have someone send it home to your grandmother and mother."
Caixing took over and responded crisply.
"Miss, would you like to take a rest? You must be tired after sitting in the carriage for so long." Lanzhi asked while supporting Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun felt a little sleepy after being asked this question. He smiled and said, "Lanzhi understands me best."
Lanzhi said proudly, "That's it!"
She is the sweetest.
Lanzhi helped her take off her headdress and clothes.
Xiao Tingyun's tense head also felt much more comfortable. "Let's get some water to wash it first."
Lanzhi just got back and was about to go out, but she ran into a maid. Seeing this, Lanzhi wanted to take it, but the maid dodged sideways and came in with a basin of water, smiling, "Miss, I brought you some hot water."
Lanzhi's hand stopped in mid-air and she was stunned for a moment. Then she felt angry. Was he going to step on her right in front of her? ? ?
Xiao Tingyun was rubbing his forehead. When he heard the unfamiliar voice, his hand paused and he opened his closed eyes.
Seeing a maid holding a basin of water in the dressing mirror, Xiao Tingyun turned around and looked at her.
When the girl saw Xiao Tingyun's face, her eyes were full of surprise.
What a beautiful woman... I didn't dare to see her clearly because I lowered my head at the door just now. Now that I am so close to her, I realize that there really are such beautiful women in the world. She is so beautiful that it makes me ashamed of myself.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at her with a nonchalant yet somewhat oppressive look. The little girl suddenly woke up and quickly looked away.
Not to mention, this little girl looked pretty, with delicate features, but her eyes were rolling around, which made Xiao Tingyun unhappy.
"Who are you?"
The little girl knelt down and replied crisply, "I am Xiaoju, the servant sent by Manager Zhuang to serve the young lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lanzhi came in aggressively.
Seeing Xiao Tingyun talking to the little girl, he instantly felt wronged, "Little——"
Xiao Tingyun winked at Lanzhi. Lanzhi was stunned for a moment and then looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
The anger just now also dissipated a lot. He just snorted and muttered softly, "Fake!"
"Since it was Manager Zhuang who sent you here, just put down the water and leave."
Xiaoju was anxious. She had been through enough on the farm. Her parents were tenants on the farm and were eager to find a husband for her.
Xiaoju was unwilling to give in. How could she find a good husband's family on the farm? ?
Either you are a tenant or a servant, and you will have to be a servant for the rest of your life.
This time, when she heard that a young lady from the master's family was coming, she made up her mind to please the young lady and let her take her back to the master's family. Maybe then she would be noticed by the young master of the family and rise to fame, and she could also have a taste of what it feels like to be ordered around!
But now that the lady said so, she had no reason to stay, so she had to go out unwillingly. When she looked up, she remembered to keep a good attitude.
Lanzhi watched her put down the basin, and stared at her as she left step by step, her eyes as if she was staring at a thief.
Xiaoju bit her lip and looked back every few steps as she delayed.
Xiao Tingyun lost his patience and turned around to ask Lanzhi to come over and rub him.
When Lanzhi heard the young lady's instructions, she hurried over like a bird, and did not forget to roll her eyes at Xiaoju in a smug manner.
Xiaoju took a look at Lanzhi's clothes and jewelry. They were no worse than those of ordinary girls. That girl was even more amazing. Her clothes were shining.
Xiaoju was both envious and jealous.
After Xiaoju left, Lanzhi couldn't help but complain, "Just look at her look of being unable to walk when she sees good things, and she wants to glue her eyes to me. She is really petty."
Xiao Tingyun closed his eyes and listened to her nagging, and replied with a smile, "Did she provoke you?"
Lanzhi gets angry when she talks about this!
"Just now, I saw her carrying water and wanted to take it, but she didn't even look at me and just walked in!"
Xiao Tingyun frowned, "Is there such a thing?"
"Everything I said is true!"
"Then keep an eye on her from now on. People with evil intentions like her should not be allowed to get close to our yard." Xiao Tingyun thought for a moment and instructed Lanzhi.
"Oh! Okay!" Lanzhi responded very quickly.
