Chapter 283 The authorities are obsessed with it
Yao Jia pouted angrily, stopped talking, and continued to clean the stove with her head down.
Nanshan looked at her angry appearance and couldn't help but chuckle. He put down the firewood in his hand, washed his hands, picked up the digestive tea beside him and handed it to Yaojia.
"Master, please be generous. How about I give you this tea as my apology?"
Yao Jia looked at the white and slender knuckles on the teacup, her eyes moving slightly.
He took it and drank it in a few gulps.
Putting down the teacup, a scent of sandalwood filled my nose.
Nanshan wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and sighed softly, "No one is competing with you for it, why are you still eating so voraciously?"
Yao Jia was confused. Why did these words sound so familiar? It seemed like someone had blamed her like this a long time ago.
Nanshan seemed to realize that there was something wrong with this action, and hurriedly put away the handkerchief, his eyes evasive under the mask.
"It is my fault for being rude, please do not blame me, Pavilion Master."
Without waiting for Yao Jia to respond, he continued, "It's getting late. Pavilion Master should go back early while the snow is not too heavy."
Yao Jia nodded repeatedly. They were full and it would not be good to stay any longer.
Nanshan held a lantern and escorted the two of them out of the alley.
Yao Jia turned her head to look at him. Her white fur coat was spotless and stood out from the surroundings.
"Why did you choose to settle here, sir?"
Nanshan stuffed a hot water bottle into Yaojia's cloak and his eyes drifted towards the children who were laughing and playing in the light of the night lights on the roadside not far away.
"Everything has many sides. Although this place is remote and poor, it is still full of life. Compared with the bustling streets, this is the most real life."
Yao Jia seemed to understand but not quite.
At this time, there was a noise coming from a house in the alley, followed by the sound of a child crying.
Yao Jia paused and listened with a frown.
The woman's angry voice came from the low wall.
"Cry, cry, cry, and you still have the nerve to cry. I will beat you to death today."
The sound of willow branches whipping each other was met with even more shrill screams from the child.
"Are they beating the child?" Yao Jia was nervous. Thinking of the time when Nangong Xiu Lan hit her on the hand with a ruler, she was about to run to the family's house to stop it.
Being held back by Nanshan.
Yao Jia frowned and looked at him, "Sir, what are you doing? I have to go over and take a look. What if you beat the child to death?"
Nanshan did not let her go, "Listen first, then make a decision."
Although Yao Jia was worried, she had no choice but to stand on the wall and continue listening to the noise inside.
The woman's voice sounded again, "How many times have I told you not to take the eggs from Grandma Wu's house? Why didn't you listen? Taking without telling is called a thief, taking without telling is called stealing, stealing is a violation of the commandments, you want to go to jail, don't you?"
Yao Jia then realized that the teacher was teaching the child how to behave. What a kid! He really deserved to be beaten for stealing.
Fortunately, Mr. Nanshan stopped her, otherwise...
The child screamed "wah" and cried even more miserably, sobbing and speaking incoherently.
"Mom is sick... I'll give her eggs to eat... and she'll get better... I was wrong... Mom... don't hit me..."
The woman was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Child, I hit you to remind you that you should be upright. If it is not yours, you cannot take it even if you starve to death. Otherwise, how can I face my ancestors after I die?"
The child's crying gradually weakened, and he choked, "Mom, I was wrong... Mom, don't die... Wuuu..."
The woman comforted him gently, "Silly boy, I just caught a cold and will be fine in two days. Let's go and pay back Grandma Wu for the eggs, okay?"
The child sobbed and responded with "Okay".
The three of them continued walking forward.
The ground ahead was uneven, so Nanshan held the lantern forward and leaned sideways to support Yaojia naturally.
"Master, be careful. The road ahead is a bit difficult to walk on."
Yao Jia nodded, slowed down her pace, and unconsciously held Nanshan's arm, shaking it gently.
"Thank you, sir."
Nanshan turned his head to look at her, his eyes under the mask full of tenderness, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for your teachings tonight. Think twice before doing anything and don't just look at the surface." Yao Jia said softly.
Nanshan smiled slightly, "Master, who do you think is right and who is wrong between the mother and son?"
Yao Jia lowered her head and looked carefully at the road conditions beneath her feet.
"From the mother's perspective, the child took the egg without asking, which was a big mistake. From the child's perspective, he took an egg just to fulfill his filial duty, but was beaten. Naturally, he felt that his mother was wrong. From my perspective, I only heard that the mother beat the child, but I didn't hear the details, so I felt that the mother was abusing the child."
The snow was getting heavier, falling down in large flakes.
Yao Jia reached out to catch a snowflake and continued, "If you look at it from Grandma Wu's perspective, it means she sold a few more eggs today."
"Why?" Lang Yue asked from the side.
Yao Jia nodded at him, "You idiot, didn't you hear the mother say that you should return the money for the eggs to Grandma Wu?"
Lang Yue realized it later and said, "Oh," "It turns out that if you look at a thing from different angles, there will be so many results."
The snowy night was silent, with only the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance.
Nanshan walked the two to the entrance of the alley and stopped.
There were no more people on the street outside the alley, with only a few scattered houses with lights on.
The carriage was parked nearby, and the three of them stood there, waiting for the coachman to drive the carriage over.
Nanshan raised his hand and gently brushed the snow off Yaojia's hair.
"The Pavilion Master has a good understanding. 'People are confused because they are in the game, and people are confused because they are outside the game.' For some things, the Pavilion Master might as well stand outside the game and try to see them again. Maybe you will gain something different. The carriage is coming. The Pavilion Master, please get on the carriage quickly."
Yao Jia nodded, and was helped into the carriage by Lang Yue. All the way, she kept thinking about Nanshan’s words.
Lang Yue saw that she had been silent since she got on the carriage, and thinking of her interactions with Nanshan along the way, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
"Yaoyao, what do you think of Mr. Nanshan?"
"What do you think?" Yao Jia looked at him in confusion.
When Lang Yue was asked back by her, he didn't know how to tell her directly. But if he didn't ask, he felt like there was a stone in his heart, neither going up nor down, and felt very uncomfortable.
"That's right, you..." He stammered, unable to finish.
Yao Jia realized what was going on and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Lang Yue is blaming me for only talking to Mr. Nanshan and ignoring you, so you're jealous?"
When Lang Yue met her sight, she quickly looked away and lowered her head to look at her toes.
"I'm sorry, I...I shouldn't be so petty." He wasn't qualified to be petty.
Yao Jia turned sideways, fell into his arms, and put her arms around his neck.
"Silly Langyue, Mr. Nanshan is my teacher and friend, how could I have such thoughts about him?"
Langyue tightened the soft body in his arms, feeling very relieved.
"That's good. I don't want anyone else to appear next to Yaoyao. If so, I will have to go to the back again."
Since she came back, I have only been alone with her today.
He looked at the beautiful woman in his arms with burning eyes, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yaoyao, can you stay in my courtyard tonight?"
Yao Jia shook her head gently, "No, I promised Hua Hua that I would go to accompany him tonight."
Lang Yue looked disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was just a male favorite now, and in terms of seniority, he had to rank behind several monarchs.
