Splendid little maid

Chapter 55

The young master's reaction was very calm, Chen Xi turned to look at him, and went in after seeing that he was fine.

There is only a faint musty smell in the room, after all, it has been sealed off.

Stepping into the door is a spacious place, with eight screens on the right side, a bed inside, and a dresser next to it, which are half-old and not new.

Chen Xi saw that the furnishings were still intact, so he didn't dare to touch them.

On the contrary, she felt itchy when she saw the rouge and gouache on the dressing table, but she just leaned over to take a closer look and found that they were all old-fashioned things.

"Can I open these things? Of course, if not, forget it."

Chen Xi spoke seriously to the young master behind him, with a very sincere attitude.

The young master saw the seriousness in her eyebrows, and after knowing that she didn't underestimate the things left by his parents, he nodded and said, "Well, look."

Chen Xi smiled and thanked him sincerely, she was really interested in this.

Carefully picked up a small box similar to powder cakes, and found that it was actually made of silver, with a thin wooden box inside, and some of it was powder.

Chen Xi stretched out his fingers and gently circled to take some powder on the back of his hand to try the powder quality, and found that it was very fine, and it was so well preserved after so many years?
She felt surprised in her heart.

Other things have deteriorated, for example, the lip balm has dried out, and the eyebrows are also scattered, so she dare not touch them again, and she is satisfied after seeing them.

Chen Xi said in his heart that the cosmetics here are quite complete, even skin care products. The things that the second wife could have had so many years ago must be developing well now.

She suddenly remembered that there were quite a lot of bottles and cans that the Huangfu sent to these little maids, which showed that there was still a way to go in this business in the future.

Chen Xi thinks that with her skills and knowledge, she can open a studio by herself.

It's just empty right now.

After reading this, she found that the young master had disappeared, so she turned to look for him.

When Chen Xicai came out from behind the screen, he could see that the young master had gone to the study over there, and there was a large private study behind the shelf separated from the bedroom.

The built-in bookcases on the three walls are filled with all kinds of books, neatly arranged.

Chen Xi couldn't help being shocked from ear to ear, looking around and expressing his shock.

The young master was already standing behind the desk and tidying up the desk.

Chen Xi stretched out his hand to wipe the big desk and found it was spotless, even cleaner than the bedroom just now. It can be seen that this is the place where he often comes over.

Surprising enough.

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at the paper left over from handwriting practice. The neat and beautiful fonts jumped out on the paper, and he wrote a lot in a thick stack.

"You wrote these? Are you still literate? Can you understand these books?"

Chen Xi couldn't help asking.

It was because she felt that the surprise this child gave her was far greater than what she had imagined.

The young master said calmly about this: "I was enlightened at the age of three, and went to a private school at the age of four. Before my parents had an accident, I went to school for three years. After the accident, my nanny taught me how to read."

As he spoke, he looked at the books in the room, and the indifference in his eyes was more or less tinged with warmth.

Chen Xi laughed after hearing this, causing the other party to look at her with strange eyes again.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I admire you, and I didn't expect you to be very motivated, and your handwriting is so good, don't you usually work hard?"

Chen Xi said in admiration, because she knows how hard it is to struggle by herself, so she especially admires motivated people, especially those who work hard.

The young master just looked down at the copybooks on the table, rolled them up slowly along the edge of the paper, and said, "Someone will come over, and I'm not here often."

Chen Xi naturally understood who he was talking about, so she asked: "How much do you know? Who is the person who harmed you? How did those servants treat you?"

She had been waiting for this opportunity to ask in detail for a long time, and now the atmosphere was just right for her to ask.

The young master looked up at her, and said calmly, "You should be a smart person."

The implication is that you can guess it yourself, and it is also a default that what Chen Xi and Mrs. Zhang guessed is true.

Chen Xi suddenly understood that her brain circuit and the young master's could miraculously correspond. Many times when Fuzhu and Yu'er were at a loss, she was clear about it.

So she nodded and gestured to express her understanding, and she stopped talking about this topic.

Chen Xi saw that he skillfully rolled up and put away the finished paper, and replaced it with new paper. It was at this time that she discovered why the young master still had paper for so many years.

The second master and the second wife are completely a literary hoarder. Not to mention all kinds of books here, even those pens, inks, papers and inkstones are hoarded a lot.

The young master is just new paper taken out of a large box next to him.

Chen Xi leaned over to take a sneak peek, and found that after so many years, it was almost bottoming out.

The young master looked regretful, one must know that he had tried his best to save money, but he still couldn't make it to the day when he had run out, and now that day is almost here.

Chen Xi caught his disappointed gaze, and said with a smile: "Ham, what's the matter, now that I can go out, I will naturally find a way to buy you new paper, but I also have conditions, in exchange, you Teach me how to read?"

She still can't get rid of her habit of liking to study. She always feels that she will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't absorb new things. Besides, she will have to live here in the future.

Chen Xi needs a reason for her to get rid of the label of being illiterate, besides, she really doesn't understand all traditional Chinese characters, and her calligraphy is also very ordinary.

The young master gave her a deep look at this, then bowed his head and wrote and said, "Why not?" He would be extremely happy to exchange the same value.

Chen Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, thinking that this kid was really stinky and cold.

But no nonsense is still pretty good.

"You haven't said it yet, have you read all the books here? Can you understand it?"

The other party obviously didn't want to answer such a boring question, but he still hummed.

Chen Xi guessed that he had been locked up here for so much time, and he could come in by himself, so he must have come here a lot. From the pile of scrolls he used to practice calligraphy, he knew how hard he was.

Thinking about it, I feel that he is very miserable. If he can't go out, even if he is self-taught and full of poetry and books, he is imprisoned here and is useless.
It's really pitiful.

It's better to know nothing, not understand anything, and live a life of foolishness.

Chen Xi watched him grind and write smoothly, and the beautiful words appeared vividly on the paper, which made her laugh out loud, and teased him: "It's okay, what do you write my name for?"

The young master just picked up the pen and wrote casually, writing whatever he thought, who knew that Chen Xi would make fun of him, and then he saw his name on the paper.

Tell him to blush, don't turn your head and say stubbornly: "Didn't you say you want to learn!?"

That naturally starts from the name.
