Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Relax?" Everyone was confused, what does Lin Xiangjun mean by this?All eyes were on Yi An.

I saw Yi'an beckoning gently, calling a maid beside her to come forward, pointing at her and saying: "Here, she is my personal maid, surname Zhang, name?"

Yi'an looked at Shi Xiangyun, and smiled shrewdly: "Same as Miss Smith, also called Xiangyun!"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a commotion.Mrs. Shi and Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened immediately, and they gasped.Chen and Nanny Gao couldn't help smiling, and Nanny Gao looked at Yi'an with admiration.

Yi'an smiled and said: "When I first heard the name of Miss Smith, my heart skipped a beat. My maid has the same name as Smith, what should I do? Ordinarily, I should ask her to change her name immediately to show Respect for Miss Smith, that's in line with the rules. But, my maid's name was specially chosen for her by her deceased grandfather, and she also cared for her descendants. Although she is a slave, but rashly changed it, I also have some I can't bear it. It's fine now, Smith has a big heart, and all living beings are equal in her eyes, so she won't care about this!"

Before Mrs. Shi and Shi Xiangyun could open their mouths, Yi'an called the servant girl and said, "Xiangyun, come quickly and thank Mrs. Shi for your generosity, for fulfilling your filial piety!"

The maid was also clever, and hurried forward to salute Shi Xiangyun, and said in a crisp and clear voice: "Thank you, Miss Smith! Miss Smith is merciful and magnanimous!"

Everyone gasped again.Awesome, this trick of 'treating the person in the same way' makes it so beautiful!Many people sighed silently in their hearts.

Didn’t you say that all living beings are equal, then you definitely won’t mind that the servant girl has the same name as you; if you do, it means that you understand that people are divided into different classes, and there are other differences between high and low.So, what do you mean when you compare the emperor's imperial title to an actor?An actor is of low status, and in terms of status, he is much lower than a slave girl!Immediately, you will be charged with disrespect, and it can be seen that you have a cruel heart, and the reputation of yourself and the historian is ruined.

But if you admit it at this point, then think about it, Lin Xiangjun yelled 'Xiangyun', 'Xiangyun' in front of everyone, ordering this maid to serve around, how embarrassing it is!Presumably it won't be long before this will spread.

Shi Xiangyun's face turned pale, and he no longer had the lively appearance of the past.She felt her legs go weak, and she held onto Mrs. Shi's hand tightly to support her body.She looked at Yi'an with pleading eyes, begging for mercy silently, meaning: I didn't mention it first.At this time, Miss Shi has already curled up to the side, not daring to stand out.

Yi'an just smiled slightly, unmoved.Mrs. Shi opened her mouth a few times, but couldn't utter a word of intercession.Princess Nan'an frowned, and then glanced at Nanny Gao who was standing firmly next to her, she didn't want to defend Shi Xiangyun anymore.Although they are acquaintances, there's no point in offending the Lin family and the emperor behind the Lin family because of her, right?

Princess Nan'an only winked at Shi Xiangyun, and said with a smile: "Okay, the mansion has arranged some simple snacks, please don't be disgusted with them, please use one or two."

She ordered the people around her to say: "Remove the stage, set up a banquet, and invite all ladies and gentlemen to have a meal."

The seats arranged by the Nan'an Palace for Chen Shi and Yi'an are not low, and it is not known whether they were arranged like this from the beginning or adjusted later.

Yi'an sat down calmly, and the maid of Nan'an Palace brought fragrant tea and a silver jug ​​of wine.

Princess Nan'an smiled and said to everyone: "This is the fruit wine made by myself in my mansion. I soaked it with various flower petals, and then kept it in the cellar for several months. It tastes very good, but it doesn't overpower. Let's try it. Does it suit your taste?"

The maids poured wine to the guests, but Yi An waved her hand to signal no need.

Upon seeing this, Princess Nan'an asked, "Mr. Lin Xiang, don't you like this fruit wine? Would you like to change to another drink?"

"Princess Wangfei, no need." Yi'an picked up a fruit, took a bite, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was in poor health. Sister Zhaojing specially invited her usual imperial doctor to prescribe it for me. I made a prescription to make a health-preserving medicinal drink. These days, I have been drinking this. After all, it is sister Zhaojing’s wish. I can’t live up to it, right? So, I brought it with me when I went to the banquet today. Do you mind, Princess Wang?"

Princess Nan'an clenched her hands tightly. Yi'an's move was obviously to prevent them from tampering at the banquet, bringing their own drinks and eating fresh fruits, so that they did not leak.Of course, they originally had this plan, but they wouldn't go too far, it's just that they didn't implement it.

However, Princess Zhaojing was mentioned in Yi'an's words, she was the favored daughter of Prince Zhongshun, and the emperor liked her very much.Nan'an Palace can fight against Prince Zhongshun, and don't give face?Not to mention that he is a prince, but his family is just a county king, and his rank is one level lower; Zhongshun is still the emperor's direct younger brother, and he is deeply trusted, but his family was originally on the broken ship of the deposed prince, and now he still wants to serve the emperor as hard as possible.At this moment, how dare you cause trouble?

Princess Nan'an thought of this, and smiled indifferently: "Of course not! Mr. Lin Xiang, do you think I am such a narrow-minded person? Please, Mr. Xiang, if you have a good prescription in the future, you can also recommend it to me! "

Yi'an said with a smile: "Of course!" She clasped the celadon teacup and said loudly, "Xiangyun, pour me the medicinal drink quickly!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!" The clever girl agreed, quickly poured the medicine for Yi'an, and then waited on her left and right, with an extremely humble attitude.

Shi Xiangyun sat motionless on the mat, his face was pale, and Yi'an and her maid 'Xiangyun' chatted and laughed from time to time.

"Xiangyun, don't fan me, I'm not hot!"

"Mr. Xiang, the bead flower on your head is a little crooked. This servant will straighten it for you!"

"Xiangyun, that elder sister asked if this health-preserving medicinal drink tastes good, you can pour her a cup!"

"Xiangyun, that lady praised you for being meticulous and serving me very well, and I still haven't thanked my lady!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang. Madam praised me, thank you Madam for the reward!"

"Xiangyun, this sweet-scented osmanthus water chestnut cake is so delicate, my mother likes this taste the most, please give me this to my mother."

"Xiangyun, seeing that I like this pastry, the concubine ordered to prepare a large food box for me. After the banquet, don't forget to take it! I'll leave a copy for you too."

"Thank you Xiangjun, Xiangjun is really a good master who is considerate of his servants!"

"Xiang Yun is indeed a good maidservant. She is thoughtful and meticulous in serving her master, and it is also Madam Gao who takes care of her well! Although it didn't take long to persuade Shi Yi'an, she did a better job than the old people in Sichuan! Yi'an really has Eyes, knowing how to recognize people, this is just like her brother!"

"Xiangyun, this year, I will promote you to be a first-class girl, and I will give you a tael of silver. If you serve well, Yi'an will reward you extra. Here, I will reward you with this bracelet first." !"——this is Mrs. Chen speaking.

Throughout the banquet, Shi Xiangyun lowered his head, without saying a word, his whole body was trembling slightly, his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was as cold as ice.

But she couldn't block the various voices coming from her ears, which seemed to be mixed with other people's low-pitched discussions, ridicule and sarcasm.She didn't dare to raise her head, afraid of seeing pity or gloating in other people's eyes, and even more afraid of seeing her aunt's eyes that were blazing with anger and gloomy with ice.She always wanted to just faint like this, but she was too healthy to do so!

A banquet, like Shi Xiangyun, was on pins and needles, and Mrs. Shi, she never felt that any banquet would be so long.Historians are disgraced today, thanks to this dead girl!She gritted her teeth with hatred for Shi Xiangyun.

At the seats of the Jia family, there was also silence, even Wang Xifeng, who was the most cheerful and talkative on weekdays, and kept laughing and laughing everywhere, bowed her head and ate food in silence.Everyone felt embarrassed, and couldn't help avoiding Lin Daiyu's eyes, knowing that it was Shi Xiangyun and the Jia family who did it very unethically.Lin Daiyu paid no attention to anyone, and indifferently drank the fruit wine slowly with the wine cup, her face unexpectedly calm.

Nothing lasts forever.After everyone bid farewell to Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an, they left slowly one after another.

Yi'an held Zhang'Xiangyun's hand, and said goodbye to all the ladies and ladies with a smile, and when he walked in front of Shi Xiangyun, Yi'an smiled and said: "Miss Shi, among thousands of people, there are not many with the same name as Xiangyun. Another day, I will find an expert to do a fortune-telling to see if you were destined to meet each other in this life! This is really rare!"

Shi Xiangyun gritted her teeth tightly in response, and did not say anything to refute. Now, she has completely learned how powerful Yi An is, and she dare not jump around anymore.

Yi'an greeted the girls of Jia's family, looked at Lin Daiyu sympathetically, and left with a sigh.After getting into the carriage, Yi'an smiled at Zhang 'Xiangyun' and said, "I'm going to wrong you and call him 'Xiangyun' for a while, don't worry, I will change it for you in the future! Here, take this purse, it's for you The wronged money! In a few days, you can still make a fortune, I guess it will be right!"

Zhang 'Xiangyun' chuckled: "Girl, the daughter of a noble family is not wronged, why are slaves wronged?"

Yi'an sneered and said, "How can you not be wronged with the same name as such a wicked woman who bullies the weak and fears the hard?"

"Hey, girl, you said to make another fortune, what is that?"

Yi'an smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes!"

Along the way, Mrs. Shi kept a straight face and closed her eyes, not even looking at Shi Xiangyun.Back at Bowlinghou's Mansion, Shi Xiangyun followed Mrs. Shi into the main room with his head down. He had just entered the door and before he could stand still, he was slapped heavily by Mrs. Shi on the head.

Shi Xiangyun covered his face and dared not speak, he didn't look like he was usually eloquent and arguing with Mrs. Shi.Bao Linghou at the side was inexplicably surprised, and hurried forward to stop him: "Madam, why did you hit Xiangyun?"

"Xiangyun!" Mrs. Shi felt as if she had been stabbed hard by a needle when she heard this word, and she trembled with anger, "Why don't you ask her what she did? Killing her won't bring back the historian's clean reputation." !"

"Hehe, Xiangyun?" Mrs. Shi sneered, "If you shout again in the future, people won't know if it's Miss Hou Men or the servant of the White House!"
