Invincible son

Chapter 8 008 [Spring Rain]

As dusk fell, the sky began to drizzle.

Raindrops gather along the ridge of the roof, flow along the cracks, and then fall from the edge of the eaves, hanging like silk threads, forming a flowing and transparent rain curtain.The entire Duke's Mansion was covered by rain, and the twilight and mist intertwined. The exquisite and elegant scenery became somewhat blurred, and the pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings loomed, like a profound ink painting.

Looking down from above, this vast state mansion is full of rules, and hidden in the picturesque scenery is the strict hierarchy with clear distinctions.

Enter along the main gate, followed by Yimen, Hall, Nuan Pavilion, Inner Hall, Inner Sanmen, Neiyi Gate and Neisai Gate until the main hall. There is an independent courtyard on the left side of the main hall, which is Pei's ancestral hall.Because of the different owners of each courtyard, even the regulations on the roof are different. For example, the roof of Ding'an Hall where Pei Taijun lives is a single-eave roof, and the small courtyard near the southeast corner of the front yard is also Pei Yue's usual building. The roof of the residence is a roll roof.

Although Pei Yue also liked reading in his previous life, he was not omniscient, even if he climbed to the roof in the rain at this time, he couldn't see any mystery.

This was Li's arrangement, because in the mansion, like Pei Yue, the people who live on the roof of the shed are all domestic servants like Pei Wu, who is in charge of the front yard.

This kind of arrangement is not a humiliation to the present Pei Yue, but it highlights that Mrs. Li, the head wife, is too narrow-minded.

There are only four houses in the small courtyard, and the main hall is quite cramped. Of course, it is much better than the low house that Pei Yue lived in half a day ago.

Under the corridor in the courtyard, two little people who looked a bit malnourished were sitting side by side, looking at the misty rain scene, gossiping one after another.

"Master, I've been really worried about you for the past two days, and I've also gone to see Mother Liu, but she scolded me and told me that I'm not allowed to run around, so I can only stay in the yard, or someone will beat me. "

"Master, can you really leave the mansion? Then you must take me with you. Don't leave me alone in the mansion. I'm afraid. By the way, can you not take Liumama with you? She is really fierce." fierce."

"Master, how big is that Zhuangzi? How big is the [-]-acre field? How many people are there? Or, tell the old lady that those people are no longer needed. It is enough for me to serve the young master, and so many people need to eat every day." How much food? Master, we have no money."

"Master..."

Pei Yue let out a long sigh, turned to look at the yellow-haired girl beside him, and said helplessly, "Master, stop reading."

This yellow-haired girl is the maid Li sent by his side, and also the only maid. She usually helps him clean the small courtyard, starches and washes clothes, and boils water for bathing. Of course, it is inevitable to go to the small kitchen in the southeast corner to get meals for two .

She is 14 years old this year, one year older than Pei Yue. It is said that she was sent to Pei Yue when she was eight years old.

Eight years old...it's crazy!
Because of this, Pei Yue was more patient with this very long-winded maid.

However, he was thinking, should he change her name after leaving the mansion?
An unattractive and thin yellow-haired girl named Tao Hua...

Who actually took the name?It is completely different from the names of other maids in the mansion.

Although he doesn't judge people by their appearance, the sense of disobedience and unreality brought to him by this name is even more serious than the matter of time travel.

Tao Hua blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master thinks I'm long-winded again."

Pei Yue waved his hand and said, "It's not that I hate it, it's just that I'm hungry."

Taohua stood up and said, "Then I'll cook."

"Cooking? Didn't you go to the small kitchen to get food?" Pei Yue was a little puzzled.

Taohua stopped in her tracks, with a smile on her thin face, she said in a normal way: "Those people in the small kitchen look down on people, and the food they often serve is cold. Although it's almost summer, this rain is still here It's a little cold, what should the young master do if his stomach is ruined? There are still big things waiting for the young master to do in the future!"

Pei Yue also stood up and said, "Can you cook? Do you have ingredients?"

Tao Hua smiled and said: "Young master is confused again, don't you usually eat the rice I cook? There are still some rice noodles, I will give the young master to eat."

Pei Yue smiled: "How about I come?"

Tao Hua sniffed, and this time it was her turn to be a little disgusted, without showing any sympathy: "Don't, the young master also talked about cooking last time, and almost burned the kitchen down."

"Actually... I really know how to cook."

Naturally, Pei Yue was not bragging. In the early days of his previous life, the conditions were very simple. In order to save money, he also cooked by himself. Although his skills could not be regarded as a master chef, it was easy to prepare a few side dishes.

Taohua looked coaxing the child, nodded repeatedly and said: "Very well, the young master is so good, there must be no problem in cooking, as long as you put in a little effort to learn."

In the end, I added one last sentence.

Seeing her briskly walking towards the kitchen like a spring swallow, Pei Yue couldn't help but smile.

Thinking about it carefully, this girl doesn't abide by the rules like Wen Yuhe's good words. She claims to be "I" and won't talk about slaves and shut up slaves. Thinking about the past years, the two little people can only hug each other to keep warm .

The young master is not like the young master, and the maid is not like a maid.

It's actually pretty good.

The rain is getting heavier and the wind is forming into patches, like thick ink, slapping on the bluestone ground in large groups.

In the heavy rain, a dark green figure appeared at the gate of the small courtyard holding an umbrella with some difficulty.

Pei Yue's eyesight is excellent, probably because he didn't need to study in the past few years, and Mrs. Li didn't give him a chance to study, so his eyes were well protected.Through the rain curtain, he could see at a glance that this dark green figure was Liang Yan, the servant girl next to eldest sister Pei Ning.

"Girl Liangyan, why are you here? It's raining so much." Pei Yue stepped forward to meet her.

"It's raining too much, third young master don't come out." Liang Yan hurriedly persuaded with a burden in his arms.

Pei Yue welcomed her to the porch, and saw that her green maid's clothes were wet in many places, so he looked away and only looked at the fine beads of sweat on her delicate face. It was very urgent along the way.

"Come in first, have a cup of hot tea to keep warm." Pei Yue said kindly.

The grace of a meal should be remembered, this is his principle of life.

Liang Yan smiled gratefully.

The decoration in the main hall of the small courtyard is very simple, there are only a few tables and chairs, and there is not even a middle hall, but it is cleaned very clean and tidy by Taohua, which has a warm feeling of a small home.

Pei Yue walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Liang Yan.

"Thank you, Third Young Master."

Liang Yan didn't rush to drink tea, but put the burden on the table, and said: "Third young master, this is given to you by the eldest lady."

"What did the eldest sister give me?"

"A set of clothes, shoes and socks. This is made by the eldest lady herself. It was originally intended to be given to you as a birth gift when the third young master gave birth. But the eldest miss heard that the third young master will help the master entertain guests in the future. I was afraid that you didn't prepare a suitable outfit in advance, so I asked the maid to deliver it in advance. The eldest lady also said that since it was delivered in advance, it cannot be regarded as a birth gift. Prepare a gift."

"My eldest sister is really kind to me, but it's raining so hard now, why bother to send it in such a hurry."

"The eldest lady said that she only made it based on the figure of the third young master, but she didn't know if it would fit, so she asked the maid to bring it here now, and asked the third young master to try it out. If it doesn't fit, the maid will take it back and return it tomorrow. One day to change, this is called planning for a rainy day! Hehe..."

Liang Yan smiled like a flower, but Pei Yue felt his eyes were slightly astringent.

He thinks that he has already cultivated his heart like a stone, but at this moment he feels a little sad. To use the buzzwords of the era in his previous life, after he took over this burden, he was a little bit broken...

"Third young master?" Seeing him in a daze, he whispered kindly.

Pei Yue calmed down, smiled and said, "I'll try it now."

The burden is light and heavy, like a thousand weights.

On the right side of the main hall is Pei Yue's bedroom. When he came in, he unpacked his bundle, and his clothes were a moon-white uniform, soft and comfortable, with light-colored lace embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns.

Compared with this outfit, the plain old clothes he was wearing should be thrown away.

After a while, Pei Yue, who had changed his clothes, came out of the bedroom, and the good words of the cup of hot tea flashed in his eyes.

I didn't notice it before, but the third young master is very good-looking!It's just too skinny...

"Third young master, does it fit?" She asked hastily.

Pei Yue nodded and said: "It fits very well, Miss Liangyan, when is it convenient for eldest sister? I want to thank you in person."

Liang Yan said with a smile: "It's just a good fit. The eldest lady said that the most important thing right now is the old lady's birthday banquet. Don't worry about other things for the time being. It will be a long time in the future."

Pei Yue thought for a while, and then he stopped insisting, and said: "I will go to thank you personally, Miss Liangyan, but it's getting late, and it's time for dinner, if you don't mind, you can have dinner here before Go back, Taohua is cooking."

Just as he was about to reject the good words, the little cook came.

A pair of peach blossoms with flour on their hands appeared at the door, looking at the completely new Pei Yue who seemed to be a different person, he stood there in a daze, his little face was alert, and asked in a rough voice on purpose: "Who are you? Why did you show up?" it's here?"

Pei Yue and Liang Yan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The laughter was blocked by the rain curtain and did not spread, only echoing in this narrow but warm courtyard.
