"That's because you accompany me to train my legs every day," Zhong Mingwei said, while Mei Ya helped him sit on a small stool. "You have made the greatest contribution."
"Bah! You are such a smooth talker. If Mr. Gu heard it, he would be furious." Mei Ya scolded with a smile, and then said, "Wait until the weather warms up. I will help you go for a walk outside."
"Okay," Zhong Mingwei said softly, "Let's go to the house at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Haven't you always wanted to see the pond at the back?"
"Well, I've wanted to see it for a long time. Pang Yi said it was quite big. I wonder how big it is." Mei Ya said hurriedly.
"Then why don't you go with Pang Yi to take a look first?" Zhong Mingwei said, looking at the pair of bright eyes.
"I'm not going with him." Meiya whispered, scooping water into the pot. "If I were to go, I'd go with you."
"Okay. We'll go together then." Zhong Mingwei said softly.
…
April 1, 33rd year of Jiasheng
Ningguta.
The prefectural government office.
Today is the time for classes to resume at Jixian Book House. Fang Chengyin sent a servant to deliver the Fangchengni inkstone and Huying purple brush early in the morning. She was going to go there by herself. But thinking about what Chen Qingxuan said that day, she couldn't save face. She was even more afraid of being rejected by Chen Qingxuan in person, so after thinking about it, she decided to send the servant over. But the servant hadn't returned yet, and she felt uneasy, sitting in the warm room in a daze.
"Miss, are you there?"
Fang Chengyin was in a daze when she heard the voice of a servant outside. Fang Chengyin hurriedly put down the tea bowl in her hand and said to the outsider, "Come in."
"Yes," the servant heard the voice and hurriedly came in with the curtain, then knelt down in front of Fang Chengyin with a plop, "I have done a bad job, please punish me, young lady."
Fang Chengyin looked at the things in his hands that were intact and had just been brought back. How could she not understand anything?
Her back, which had been straight all this time, suddenly relaxed. She curled her lips helplessly and said, "It's none of your business if they don't want to take it. Go down."
"Yes, thank you, Miss." The boy got up from the ground and looked at the things on the ground with some embarrassment. "Then these..."
"Just put it here." Fang Chengyin said.
The servant put the things on the table, then bowed and left.
Fang Chengyin looked at the things on the table and couldn't help but sigh. She really couldn't understand why Chen Qingxuan didn't like her? Why did he always reject her like this?
Fang Zuotang said that a learned man like Chen Qingxuan was bound to be a little arrogant, which she could understand. If it weren't for Chen Qingxuan's pride, he would probably not be in her eyes. But wasn't this man a little too unkind?
…
"Miss," Fang Chengyin was lost in thought in her room when the maid came in with a bowl of honey bird's nest and said, "It's just been cooked in the kitchen. Miss, drink it while it's hot."
"Put it here." Fang Chengyin said lazily.
"Yes," the maid put down the bird's nest and naturally saw the things on the table. She was immediately a little surprised, "Why? Mr. Chen didn't accept these gifts?"
Fang Chengyin was too lazy to say anything more and stirred the honey bird's nest in the bowl from time to time.
"Miss, it's not that I mean to be presumptuous, I just think Mr. Chen is a little too arrogant," the little maid said after holding it in for a long time. "Miss, you and the master treat him very well, but look at him, he is always so indifferent to you, and he doesn't know how to be grateful at all..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore," Fang Chengyin shook her head, interrupting the maid's words. She took a sip of honey and asked casually, "I asked you to go see Guard Kong, did you go?"
"He's gone," the maid said hurriedly. When she mentioned Kong Wenjie, she suddenly became more talkative. "Miss, Guard Kong suddenly fell ill. It's quite serious. Such a strong man is bedridden. It's really pitiful."
"Are you sick?" Fang Chengyin frowned and looked at the maid, "Why are you sick out of nowhere?"
"Didn't Guard Kong go out a while ago? He must have caught a cold on the way, otherwise why would he fall ill as soon as he came back?" The little maid said, sighing, "Guard Kong is really pitiful. Ningguta has only one brother, Guard Kong. Guard Kong can't take care of him in the mansion all day long. He has to stay alone in the room. Tsk, tsk, tsk, really pitiful."
