Lose the lights and spend another night

The lantern flower is thinner, the night is getting darker, and the shadow of the lamp in the room is a little dim.

I put down the half-stitched shadow puppet and picked up the hanging wick with a needle.

"Huanxi."

Suddenly I heard Yingsheng calling me, I raised my eyes to look in the direction of the voice.

I saw her standing at the door with the food, looking at me nodding and smiling.

I quickly put down the silver needle in my hand, got up and walked over quickly, took the food from her hand, and put it on the table.

I prepared those meals for her, and they are much colder now.

She quietly glanced at the shadow puppet on the table, then suddenly raised her eyes, and I realized that her eyes were red, she must have cried too much just now.

I was a little worried about her eyes, and I was even more afraid that she would starve to death, so I could only point to the food and gestured for her to eat quickly.

Yingsheng shook her head stubbornly, she took my hand and motioned me to sit down.

I sat down obediently, but looked out of the room with some anxiety, wondering if the lord is still here?

"Daddy has already left. He said he can't keep the guests in the front yard waiting for him."

Yingsheng seemed to know my worry, she confessed slowly, then picked up the rice bowl, took a piece of white rice with chopsticks and fed it to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved my hand to indicate that I can't do this.

Yingsheng pouted, "I am the eldest lady, you are my maid, you have to listen to me!"

I couldn't refute it, and there was only anxiety left in my heart.

"Open your mouth." Yingsheng ordered me like a little adult.

I smiled wryly and nodded, if I made her cry again and really hurt her eyes, I would really be guilty.

Yingsheng gently fed me a mouthful of white rice, brought over another piece of vegetables, and ordered me, "Eat another piece of vegetables!"

I took a bite obediently, and I had already made up my mind to run to serve her another meal in a while.

"Hee hee, I knew that Huanxi listened to me the most!" She praised me happily, and suddenly took a mouthful of rice with her rice bowl in her hands.

How can this be so?

I hurriedly stopped her, she is a young lady, how can she eat what the maid has eaten?

"Huanxi, from now on, you and I will be friends for life." Yingsheng twisted her body and avoided my obstruction. She said seriously, "Whoever bullies you in the future will bully me, Daddy Agreed too!"

I stared at her blankly, unable to believe what I heard.

"Daddy said, I really wronged you today. He asked me how to make up for you. I said, let me think about it. If I think about it, Daddy must agree!"

In fact, my lord and Yingsheng really don't need to be so concerned about a maid like me.

I lowered my eyes and sighed softly. Although their love was warm, it made me feel uneasy.

"Huanxi..."

Yingsheng thought I would laugh, but she didn't expect me to be so unhappy. She obediently put down her job, came to me, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

I raised my eyes and looked at her fixedly. At this moment, the light was dim, and her water-like eyes were like autumn water.

I took her hand, sighed deeply, thought and thought, and finally wrote in her palm - I am a maidservant, I shouldn't...

Ying Sheng curled up her fist suddenly, I looked at her in astonishment.

Her eyes were red, and she cried: "I have so many maids! You see, I was bullied, and they all just watched from the side, and didn't care about me at all!"

How dare they care?

Yingsheng is only ten years old, she doesn't understand these truths.

"But you are different!" Yingsheng said forcefully, especially the three words "different", "I know, if I am in danger, you will be the first to come to protect me!"

It is only natural for a maidservant to protect her master.

"Huanxi!" Yingsheng suddenly held my cheeks, I looked at her little face in panic, wondering what she wanted to do next?

She held back the tears in her eyes, and gently stroked the blood scab on my left eyebrow with her fingers, and she said as if she promised, "I won't let anyone bully you again!"

The heart is instantly warmed.

I stared blankly at her face, not knowing how to respond to her distress?

She suddenly moved closer to my forehead, and blew gently, "This way, Huanxi, you won't be in so much pain."

How could there be such a silly eldest lady in the world?

I told myself that she was just too young to understand many things, and when she got older, she wouldn't do such stupid things.

When her warm lips landed on my blood scab, my body trembled suddenly, and I stepped back as if fleeing, and broke free from her hands.

"Huanxi..." Yingsheng didn't expect her little action to frighten me so much, she hurriedly explained, "I just feel uncomfortable looking at your blood scab, that's why...that's why..."

I shook my head violently, trying to calm down my frantic heart.

"Huanxi..." She wanted to come over to see what was wrong with me, but I couldn't give her another chance to mess around like this.

I waved my hand, pointed to the food on the table, and then pointed outside.

This time, I didn't take her hand to write what I want to do, and I don't know if she understands what I mean, I want to serve her another meal.

Without waiting for her to respond, I quickly walked out of the room, out of the small courtyard, and turned into the corridor.

Yingsheng watched me leave in astonishment, she didn't know what she did wrong?

But I know that some things seem to start quietly in some wrong directions.

When I came back with the food, Ying Sheng was no longer waiting for me, there was a clean meal and a note on the table.

I put down the meal, picked up the note, and saw it beautifully written - I have eaten.

I sighed softly, and looked behind the screen, Yingsheng had put down the curtain of the bed, probably already asleep.

I put down the food in my hands and was about to clear up Yingsheng's dishes first, only then did I realize that the shadow puppet I had just put on the table had disappeared.

I subconsciously looked on and off the table, but found nothing.

Perhaps Yingsheng saw that broken doll making trouble, so he threw it away?

I came to a conclusion, cleaned up the dishes on the table, and brought them out together with the newly arrived meals.

I didn't sleep all night, maybe because the welts on my back were always painful.

I turned over and sat up when the sky was getting dark, and I was going to fetch hot water for Yingsheng to wash.

A moment later, I came to Yingsheng's small pavilion.

As usual, I put hot water on the basin stand and came to wait for Yingsheng to get up.

When I opened the bed curtain, I was stunned for a moment.

I saw Yingsheng sleeping soundly holding the shadow puppet that I hadn’t finished yesterday. I took a closer look and found that the shadow puppet had been completed by her. Although the stitches were very unfamiliar, it was still her first A completed piece of embroidery.

I shook my head and chuckled, and took the needle bag from her pillow side, worried that she would accidentally bump into the end of the needle and scratch somewhere.

She seemed to have noticed my approach, and suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged my body with her eyes loosened.

"Huanxi...Look...I've patched up the little shadow puppet...I just want to do it...I can do it..." She smiled and shook the shadow puppet in her hand.

Silly Yingsheng...

I really wanted to call her that, but I couldn't.

I took the doll from her hand, shook my head, and looked at her with a cold face.

She looked at me puzzled, "Huanxi, why are you angry with me?"

I took her by the hand and wrote slowly - it's hard to sleep, be careful in class today, Mr. Be careful to hit you.

"Hey, that's just right, I was hurt too, and we both suffered together!" Ying Sheng squinted and smiled slightly, looking forward to this happening.

I frowned, this was the first time I realized that the eldest lady would talk back and talk nonsense.

"Huanxi, I'm sorry yesterday." She suddenly apologized to me, and I was even more alarmed.

She continued: "I thought about it later, maybe I shouldn't kiss you..."

She finally understood that this move was inappropriate.

I smiled gratifiedly and nodded.

Yingsheng suddenly looked at me in bewilderment, "But I don't understand. The book says that men and women should pay attention to each other if they don't kiss each other. You and I are both women, so what if I kiss you?"

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute her?

Ying Sheng counted seriously with her little finger, "Look, I have kissed my father's face, my mother's face, my second sister's face, and my third brother's face, and no one said I was wrong. .”

But I'm not your relative, Yingsheng.

I hurried to hold her hand, ready to explain the difference to her.

But she took my hand and said with a smile: "I have long regarded you as my family, I kiss you, it is not considered indecent!"

family……

My heart trembled slightly, and this strange and distant word kept echoing in my mind.

Yingsheng suddenly brought her small face closer, "If you think I molested you last night, then you can kiss me back, then you will be even with me!"

How can I kiss you?

I shook my head and sighed softly, knowing that if I continued to argue about this matter, it would be fruitless.

"Huanxi is a big idiot! Hahaha!" Seeing that I stayed where I was again, Yingsheng jumped off the bed with a triumphant smile. She straightened her somewhat messy black hair and turned to me with a smile, "I can comb my hair and wash my face by myself. Before your wound is healed, I don't want you to serve me!"

So, I couldn't resist Yingsheng, so I could only watch as Yingsheng combed two crooked buns and rushed to the study hall.

There are some walls that Yingsheng must bump into.

I sat quietly in the small courtyard, waiting for Yingsheng to come back crying.

I just want to tell her that I should do what she shouldn't do as a young lady.

However, I never expected that the reason for Yingsheng to come back crying was not what I thought.

"Huanxi, woohoo, Huanxi, I want Huanxi..." I heard Yingsheng's cry from a long distance away, and I went up to meet him, but I saw two maids walking away with Yingsheng in embarrassment. Come.

"Miss, stop crying, okay?"

The two servant girls didn't say a word except to persuade her softly.

But the more Yingsheng persuaded her, the more she cried.

As soon as she looked up and saw me, she ran over crying and hugged me, "Huanxi, he bullied me again, woo woo..."

I looked at her loose bun on the left side with distress, and gently rubbed the left side of her head.

what happened?

I looked up at the two maidservants following.

The maids looked around and said in a low voice: "Yes... it's Master Biao... I've been staying in the mansion for a few days... I saw the eldest lady studying today... so... I got a little playful... Let's talk about it." The lady's bun..."

"I'm in pain..." After Yingsheng finished speaking tremblingly, he hugged my body even tighter, for fear that if he let go, he would be bullied again.

My heart hurts even more.

The eldest lady whom I have protected in my heart since childhood, was so bullied by this young master within two days, how could I not feel sad?How not to be angry?

But I'm just a maid...
