Song Jinyin listened to her words and looked at her without timidity. The smile on her lips was a little more sincere than before, without any hint of the coquettishness of an ordinary maid.
She knew that the reason why this third girl said this was probably because she was thinking of Pei Yanzhou.
It's just that Song Jinyin originally wanted to say something that might not have as much weight as she expected, but she swallowed it back when it reached her lips.
There is no need to clear away some things too quickly.
She has no identity to begin with. If there is no place in her body that people can use to watch, maybe next time, no one will give her this life-saving meal.
"If you, the three girls, have any instructions in the future, just call your servants."
Song Jinyin's eyebrows were gentle, pretending not to know the deeper meaning, and respectfully agreed to these words.
In fact, from her point of view, just not dealing with Pei Wenshu was not enough to make the third girl do this, and it also put the third room at risk of getting into trouble.
Moreover, three days of meals in such a cold room was equivalent to forcibly extending her life when she was dying.
So even if she only endured this kindness for a day, it was still very heavy and she had to remember it.
As for the deep meaning behind this...
It doesn't matter that she doesn't have this ability. What matters is whether Pei Yanzhou can see the third room.
Song Jinyin came to her senses.
The girl in front of him was very generous, not hiding anything, just tilting his head to look at her.
"It's really beautiful. She can still have such a color without any makeup. She is worthy of being raised in Zhuya Courtyard by her eldest brother."
"But the beauty of Pu Liu is not worthy of such praise from the third girl."
"Aren't you angry?"
Pei Musheng's eyes widened a little, "Although what I just said was not sarcastic, it was a bit quick after all. If my mother heard it, she would be punished with a stick."
"Third Miss is right. This servant is the maid of Zhuyayuan."
If someone else said the words "Locked up and raised", it would inevitably make people think of ridicule, but Song Jinyin just smiled with her eyes bent and her voice was kind.
Putting aside yesterday's kindness, this third girl made Song Jinyin feel different from others. Either she didn't show up, and when she did, her hatred was clear and she rarely covered it up.
Even if the words calculation and magnanimity appeared in her at the same time, Song Jinyin would not find it weird, she would only think that she is smart, and that is how she should be.
"You do have a good temper."
Pei Musheng called out to Qinglu, and the maid guarding outside brought a long wooden box, and then quickly stepped back, not daring to take another look at this place.
"This is the golden hairpin you returned to me last time. When I came to see you today, I should have brought you some new gifts. But if you don't even want to accept this object and want to bring new gifts, it will be returned as well. ."
Pei Musheng put the wooden box on the side of the bed and continued: "I don't wear the things I gave away. If I give them to others, either the hairpin is too valuable, or others don't want to wear old items. After thinking about it, I still think You have to take it, don’t worry, I’m different from my elder brother, you can do whatever you want with the things I give you.”
The dark red wooden box also has polished wood grain, which shows the blend of skill and time without excessive carving.
Song Jinyin knew that this was different from the last time. If she didn't accept it, what she just said would become false and perfunctory words.
After taking the wooden box, Song Jinyin lowered her eyes and thanked her.
After what she suffered yesterday, she was a little different from before.
Pei Musheng sat down again, and when he saw Song Jinyin's eyebrows showing a tired look, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Thanks to you, I was able to enter eldest brother's house once, but everyone said that our third bedroom is rich. I think eldest brother should have a lot of things in his hands that the family doesn't know about."
Song Jinyin smiled and said nothing, with no color on her face. She just followed Pei Musheng's gaze.
Sanfang has always been in business. Although he is not as rich as the country, his family wealth cannot be underestimated.
Even though the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty had a slight disdain for businessmen, they still showed some intention of making friends when facing the third family member of the Pei family, not to mention that there were two officials in the Pei family.
Pei Musheng grew up in such a heap of gold and silver. Although he did not follow the business acumen of the third master like the fourth young master, his vision was much more sinister than others.
Now Butler Wang nodded and let Pei Musheng into the room. He presumably got Pei Yanzhou's permission and didn't mean to hide much.
Song Jinyin just thought about it casually, and then stopped her thoughts. The involvement of several rooms in the Duke's Mansion was really taxing on her brain, and it was not suitable for her to think about it now.
"Thank you so much for visiting Miss Third. When I feel better, I will go to Miss Third to thank you."
"Not urgent."
Pei Musheng waved his hands as he did when he came, put on a thin cloak, and stepped out of the room.
Xueyu stayed in the corner for a long time. She breathed a sigh of relief when people left and returned to Song Jinyin's side.
"Sister, are you tired?"
"Um......"
Song Jinyin looked away and suddenly felt dizzy.
Just now, in order to catch up with the third girl's words, she had gathered all her energy and energy. Now that she relaxed, she felt so tired that she couldn't open her eyes again.
"I'll just sleep for a short while. Call me after half an hour, and I'll go back to my room and sleep again..."
The voice gets quieter and quieter.
Xueyu stretched out her hand to explore her forehead worriedly, and found that it was a little hot again.
Last night, the two doctors said that the fever may recur, but as long as the first night is fine and you take medicine for a few days, you will be mostly better.
...
Song Jinyin slept for half a day.
When I woke up in a daze, the sky outside was completely different from what it was before I fell asleep.
"Why didn't you call me?"
Her throat was so dry that Song Jinyin drank several glasses of warm water to recover.
She originally wanted to go back to her room early.
She was not very awake last night and had no strength at all, so she fell asleep on this couch. Now that she has regained her consciousness today, there is no reason why she should still stay here in the absence of her master.
"My sister was sleeping too deeply. I screamed a few times, but there was nothing I could do."
"What should I do..."
Song Jinyin's voice was filled with frustration and annoyance.
It was windy outside at this time, and when she slowly moved back into her room, she was afraid she would be blown dizzy again.
When Pei Yanzhou stepped into the room, he happened to hear her lingering voice, soft and waxy, like a little hook falling on his heart.
Putting the food box in his hand aside, he dispersed the cold outside the curtain.
"What to do?"
"Your Majesty."
When the two saw him, one stood up and saluted, while the other had surprise in his eyes.
When I learned the reason for his going out this time, I thought he would rush to Zhuangzi to meet with the Xu family, but I didn't expect him to return home so early.
Song Jinyin's lips moved. After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke truthfully: "I have been staying at the Crown Prince's place for too long. I am afraid of disturbing the Crown Prince's rest, so I want to go back to my room."
Today's cuteness is obviously different from last night.
Pei Yanzhou frowned, dissatisfied, but he didn't know where the dissatisfaction came from.
"How can you go back when you're like this?"
Song Jinyin wanted to say more, but seeing his frowning expression, she chose to lower her eyes and remain silent.
He seemed a little impatient.
But now she didn't want to make him impatient, she was just afraid that the two of them would have a difficult night while they were awake.
When Pei Yanzhou saw her eyes lowered and no longer speaking, lying there pitifully, his heart softened, and then he became restless towards others.
He signaled Xueyu to take the food box over, and then turned around and stepped out of the house.
Butler Wang and Cang Lin were waiting outside. Seeing him come out and seem to have something to say, they both lowered their heads.
"How is she doing today?"
Although Butler Wang didn't know why the master who had just entered the house did not ask the people inside and wanted to come out to question them, two laymen, but after some thought, he still explained today's events in detail. Again.
"...Miss Jinyin, only the third girl came here. As you ordered, my subordinates didn't stop me, and from listening to the goings on inside, they seemed to get along well."
"Well, except for the study room, if Pei Musheng wants to come see her, there is no need to stop her."
Pei Yanzhou certainly knew Sanfang's plan.
Speaking of which, in the entire Duke's palace, the only one he felt he could cooperate with and get along with was his third uncle, a concubine.
They can use each other and support each other without conflict.
It just so happens that if Song Jinyin can really get closer to Pei Musheng because of this, it will be a big help to her in the future. Whether it is interacting with others or in the backyard, she will not be completely isolated and helpless.
Pei Yanzhou didn't think he was soft-hearted, he just knew that it was impossible to come back just in time every time.
Since he never planned to let Song Jinyin leave, thinking about it for her was just a casual thing and had nothing to do with anything else.
"How are the people in the yard over there?"
"Hui Shizi, tomorrow at most, she will react to what she eats."
Pei Yanzhou nodded, turned around and wanted to go in, but stopped at the door for a long time.
