Qi'er sat next to a pine harp and thought to himself: My level is suitable for ordinary people to listen to. They all say that Gongsun Yu's music is superb, how can I fall into his ears? I regret not studying hard at first. After thinking about it secretly for a long time, I came up with the idea of playing some Zen music. Qi'er used to play it for my grandfather a lot, and the music was naturally beautiful. Maybe he felt a little guilty in front of Gongsun Yu, but he was still confident that Gongsun Yu had never heard of this.
Gongsun Yu was really surprised by Qi'er's tune. Although it was not outstanding, the sound of the piano was soothing and calming. He looked at Qi'er again, and Qi'er looked at him nervously until Gongsun Yu said quietly, "Then stay."
Qi'er let go of her nervousness and whispered to herself, "It seems that my parents' insistence was right, and my years of hard study were not in vain."
Gongsun Yu was shocked when he saw what Qi'er said, "Studying hard for so many years? How can ordinary people have a chance? Who are his parents?"
Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er's happy expression and suddenly said unconsciously, "Your words and deeds are too exaggerated. Your life in the house will not be as carefree as you used to be. What if there is a time when you disobey discipline in the future?"
Gongsun Yu wanted Qi'er to change his words and deeds first.
Before Gongsun Yu could say anything, Qi'er answered to himself, "From now on, I won't eat anything if there is a strange smell in my mouth. From now on, I won't say anything I don't want to hear. I won't do anything I don't want to see." Seeing that Gongsun Yu didn't say anything, he continued. "Is there also a trial period? After the trial period is over, how about you stay before you think I'm suitable?"
"Probation?"
"That's right! You can give me a few days to see how I perform and then make a judgment on whether I am suitable." In fact, Qi'er just wanted to find something and felt that a few days would be enough.
Gongsun Yu was curious about Qi'er's purpose, and said deliberately, "Seeing that you are so sincere, will I give you a chance? Will you learn the rules in the first half of the year?"
In fact, Gongsun Yu's half year seems to have a deeper purpose. Half a year should be enough for Qi'er to change.
Qi'er said unhappily, "Ah! It takes half a year to establish the rules? Isn't it going to take that long to renovate?"
"You can turn your back quicker than turning the pages of a book. I'm afraid that the translator I'm looking for has bad conduct and it won't be good for me." After saying that, he deliberately said arrogantly, "The maid I'm looking for should also see if you are qualified. ? Where can anyone come whenever they want?"
Qi'er immediately promised that he would never embarrass Gongsun Yu and asked him to give him a chance. In fact, I wanted to beat him to death in my heart.
Gongsun Yu saw that she was considering it so sincerely and said: "Okay! Within one year, you will not only be the translator, but you will be responsible for my food and daily life from now on."
Qi'er secretly calculated her own little plan.
Gongsun Yu suddenly warned again, "Only the people in this room know about this agreement. To the outside world, you are just the translator of Gongsun Mansion." After thinking about it, he asked, "What should I do if I disobey discipline in the future?"
"If you don't believe it? I swear to God, if you violate it, you will die!"
Seeing Qi'er's poisonous oath, Gongsun Yu felt deeply moved in his heart.
Qi'er smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you down! I am also a trustworthy person."
Luan Yue couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Qi'er thought about what she had done before, and said calmly, "I used to do things that were not in line with etiquette, but if I promise someone, I can definitely do it. Don't look down on me?" After saying that, he looked at Luan Yue fiercely.
Of course, Qi'er said she agreed to everything on the surface, and whether she should or not in the future was of course a matter for the future.
Qi'er said that living in peace and quiet was suitable for translation. Gongsun Yu hesitated and agreed. Qi'er happily thanked her happily.
Gongsun Yu asked Luan Yue to supervise Qi'er's every move in the mansion. She also deliberately asked Luan Yue to introduce everyone in the house to Qi'er. It also includes those in the study and bedrooms that can be moved and those that cannot. And told her what she couldn't move. Qi'er thought thoughtfully and wondered if there was something she was looking for among the things that couldn't be moved.
Qi'er worked in a hurry. When fumigating clothes, she often forgot to turn over the clothes. On the first day, one of Gongsun Yu's gowns was smoked black. Gongsun Yu had to remind her on time to turn over the clothes while reading.
When Gongsun Yu was grinding ink, he might be grinding it too fast and the ink would often get everywhere. Or when he was cleaning, he heard a crisp sound, and every time he was afraid that Gongsun Yu would make him lose money. Qi'er was doing things carelessly, and Luan Yue watched fearfully from the side, unable to speak.
Although Luan Yue no longer has to be responsible for Gongsun Yu's daily life and food, seeing Qi'er's absent-minded and highly nervous look makes Luan Yue nervous. Luan Yue has to try the food Qi'er brings with a silver needle.
One time Qi'er yawned and accidentally hit the tea cup. Luan Yue finally couldn't help but go over to clean it, but Qi'er said he was not needed.
Luan Yue said, "I'll do it. If you get injured like last time, you'll have to ask for leave again." After saying this, she gave him a blank look.
Qi'er looked at Luan Yuebai himself and said angrily, "What's wrong with me asking for leave? I'm not selling Gongsun Mansion. I enjoy the freedom of asking for leave. This is the same for everyone. I'm injured, can I still work despite my injury?"
Luan Yue said politely, "It's such a minor injury that I can't do it anymore. If you don't do it, who will do your job?" In fact, she also knew that it would be better for her to ask for leave to save people's worries.
Qi'er also rolled her eyes at him, yawned and said, "I'll do it for whoever I love." The implication is, if I don't want to do it, you can do it.
Luan Yue asked, "You sleep so long a day, get up early, and go to bed late and early. Why are you still yawning all day long? How can you serve the young master like this?"
Qi'er was not willing to accept it and said, "I have to get up as soon as it breaks, okay? I used to sleep until midnight, and I have worked very hard."
Luan Yue said, "It should be that you have to wait somewhere before dawn. The young master has been dressed all day long and you haven't seen anyone yet?"
Qi'er said amusedly, "He is such a big man, how can he still wear his own clothes?"
Luan Yue said angrily, "If you don't want to serve me, you can leave!"
Qi'er snorted and said aggrievedly, "How did I know that serving people is so difficult?"
Luan Yue said without showing any signs of weakness, "Then you translate the text, and it's up to me to serve the young master. You've been so careless all day long, and yet you can still serve others? Those who don't know better would think you're ruining the situation."
Qi'er looked at Luan Yue angrily. She was also very aggrieved. She had never served anyone before. She took the initiative to serve and was rejected by others. Thinking about it, she felt so wronged that she suddenly burst into tears and fell to the ground whimpering. Cried.
Luan Yue was so frightened that she hurried over to comfort her and said, "Why are you crying? Don't cry. I didn't mean to say anything to you just now. You can learn slowly and you will get better slowly." Seeing that Qi'er was still crying, there was something wrong "Actually, you're pretty good, at least now Xun's clothes won't blacken Young Master's clothes." Luan Yue has never been so comforting. If Gongsun Yu didn't fear that he made Qi'er cry, he probably wouldn't have thought of it himself. He can also comfort others.
Qi'er listened to Luan Yue's comfort and it seemed like he was hurting himself, but he was really comforting himself. He thought with a guilty conscience, "I'm going to get angry and leave. I've had to endure the hardships of serving people the past few days in vain. Forget it, just bear with it." .
Luan Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qi'er stopped crying.
Qi'er said to him, "How about you teach me?"
Luan Yue had a headache and said, "You can't teach me this."
Qi'er didn't believe it, "Why can't I teach you if you all know it?"
Luan Yue said, "How can we not be as hot-tempered as you?"
Qi'er knew that he had an impetuous personality, so he took a deep breath and said, "Practice makes perfect, and success is the master of failure. If you do it more times, I will get better."
Luan Yue smiled secretly and said, "You can comfort yourself."
Qi'er never expected that there were so many things to do when serving someone, and she regretted it after only serving him for ten days after making repeated mistakes. Although serving people is not her job, she really doesn't know how to use a brush when translating. Thinking about the Sanskrit text of the scriptures makes her hair fall with worry.
Qi'er couldn't work well, so she tried her best to cook delicious food for Gongsun Yu to please Gongsun Yu. Gongsun Yu was very happy with Qi'er's attentiveness.
Gongsun Yu also rewarded her with some items intentionally or unintentionally, which made Qi'er happy and even more attentive.
Gongsun Yu is so happy to see Qi'er getting money? My heart was shaken, and I entered the palace deliberately, just for money? Seeing her so happy doesn't look like she's pretending. Could it be that she delayed writing to get more rewards? All right! As you wish.
After several days, Qi'er had no intention of writing. Luan Yue had tricked her several times, but she didn't want to write. Later, she directly admitted that she didn't know how. Of course, she couldn't hide this from Gongsun Yu.
Once, Gongsun Yu had just finished eating the eel soup made by Qi'er. Instead of praising it, he asked, "How have you become familiar with the environment recently?"
Qi'er's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her recent sneaky deeds had been discovered? its not right! There are very few people coming in and out of Yi'anju's hanging flower gate. She has been very careful when looking for things recently. Is there any surveillance here so that she can't be discovered?
Gongsun Yu saw Qi'er thinking and asked, "Why don't you translate? If you don't translate, you don't have to come back tomorrow!"
Qi'er was shocked and immediately explained, "I can only recite, but I can't write. By the way, I can also memorize the Great Compassion Mantra and the Diamond Sutra. Can you write by yourself? I have never written a word with a brush in my whole life." "
"Didn't you mean your translation?"
"I can just memorize it, but I really can't write the words in the Buddhist scriptures. When I think about using a brush to write, a lot of my hair falls out. After a few days of hair loss, I became bald."
"How can you memorize it if you can't write?" He said in a suspicious tone.
Qi'er clenched her fists angrily at this moment, thinking that no matter how she explained it, Gongsun Yu might not believe it.
He took a deep breath and deliberately said coquettishly, "I really can't write. I can help you translate, give you ink, and give you a back rub, but I just can't write scriptures... If you can't, just find someone who can write well." Is it okay to write? I just said that I would help you translate, and I didn’t say that I had to write it myself!" He looked at Gongsun Yu pitifully.
Gongsun Yu thought Qi'er was being lazy and slippery on purpose, and asked, "Why do you try so hard to live in peace and quiet?"
Qi'er was terrified that her recent actions might have been seen by someone unknown in the corner and told Gongsun Yu? But she still refused to admit it and said, "I just make a living, and I don't dare to go out now. Gongsun's mansion is safe." She hesitated to make excuses, but looking at Gongsun Yu's disbelieving eyes, she didn't know how to continue. When he saw Gongsun Yu eating cleanly from the bowl, he immediately said, "I'm going to serve you a bowl." Before Gongsun Yu could say anything, he picked up the bowl and spoon and ran out in a hurry.
As expected by Gongsun Yu, Qi'er was found out by Luan Yue's investigation, and she didn't know how to get angry at all. Because every time she cooks, she asks a girl named Xiaohong in the kitchen to help light the fire.
Gongsun Yu deliberately went to the kitchen to say that Qi'er was cooking so many delicacies that he had never tasted before. He was curious and came over to see her cooking.
Qi'er doesn't know how to make fire, but no matter what she says, Gongsun Yu and Luan Yue won't leave
Qi'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and start a fire.
But after all, she didn't know how to make a fire, and she couldn't make a fire. The bottom of the pot was filled with firewood, and there was only smoke but no flame. She tried to blow on it, but there was still no fire. The black smoke billowed, which made her choke and anxious. She had to close her eyes and blow hard for a few times, and a ball of fire burst out, instantly burning her forehead. She tried to heat her forehead, and stood up immediately with an "ah" sound.
Gongsun Yu also came over and saw Qi'er covering his forehead. Gongsun Yu looked carefully and worriedly and found that there was nothing serious. Some of his hair was burned off and his forehead was a little red and swollen. Ask Luan Yue to get some burn medicine.
Qi'er and Gongsun Yu were actually on sick leave again.
Gongsun Yu saw that his injury was not serious, so he gave her a box of burn medicine and let her rest for two days.
Luan Yue couldn't help but said, "Your work hasn't even started yet, and you've asked for more days off than you can count. Either you have a headache or a pain in your feet, and your fingers almost hurt all over, right?" Knowing that Gongsun Yu liked him, she mainly felt that she had entered the house. The purpose is not pure. It's inevitable that I can't stand it.
Qi'er didn't care at all and said, "Young master hasn't even scolded you yet, why are you complaining?" He rolled his eyes at Luan Yue and left calmly.
