"What happened?"

Mr. Yi Lian raised his eyes, his eyes were full of complexities.

"You can write well."

It's just that he's seen it elsewhere.

You En's face turned pale suddenly: "I, I..."

"You don't need to explain." Mr. Yi Lian returned to his normal state, crumpled up the paper You En wrote on and threw it away, "Let's read the original book."

You En settled down, and picked up the book that Mr. Yi Lian wanted to read from the side.

"---Imprisoned in shackles and chains, hanging on this lone rock. It is my prison and prison tower, and my soul is a sad jailer, continuing to watch tirelessly above the abyss."

Mr. Yi Lian chose the ancient Greek tragedy, "Prometheus Bound".

The book tells of the martyrs who were nailed to a cliff for stealing fire.The theme is the most sublime and the style is the most majestic and solemn.

However, it is obviously not suitable for Greek beginners to read.

You En said in embarrassment: "Why is this book? It has too many new words, and it is not smooth to read..."

Mr. Yi Lian hummed: "I have read the translation. I just like this tragedy very much."

"Yes……"

"Did you like this book?"

You En was still in the panic just now, and couldn't think of what to say.He even said indiscriminately: "No, I don't like it."

"why?"

You En's brain became hot, and before he had thought about it, he blurted out: "Because, no matter what excuses there are, stealing is a felony."

Yi Lian was slightly taken aback, then laughed out loud.

"What a strange insight."

But Eun understood why he said such words, and for a moment his throat felt as if it had been stuffed with charcoal, and it hurt and swollen.

"I like this tragedy very much, even though it seems a bit lengthy." Mr. Yi Lian said indifferently: "Because it made me understand a truth."

After a while, Mr. Yi Lian continued:

"Humanity has survived by standing on the shoulders of deceit."

When he spoke, his eyes lowered slightly, and he didn't seem to be looking at anyone.

The jewelry received by Miss Diana was once collected by a famous collector, who praised it as "naturally polished and exquisitely crafted", and enjoyed a wide reputation among nobles.A few days later, Mr. Yi Lian held a banquet at home, and many guests came here to feast their eyes.

But for some reason, at the party that day, Miss Diana's complexion was not good, she danced with Yi Lian with a forced smile, and then returned to her room without wearing the legendary rare gem.

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't dare to talk too much in the master's house.Only Mr. Yi Lian didn't see anything wrong and still entertained the guests with a smile.

You En is not good-looking, and his movements are not sensitive, so he was sent by the housekeeper to pour wine in the kitchen.At the end of the banquet, he heard several people gathered to chat.

"Winter came very early this year. I heard that there will be several heavy snowfalls in a few days."

Eun looked out.

The weather was gloomy, and thick clouds seemed to press down on the roof of the building.

He knew that a blizzard was coming.

Chapter 17 II.

two,

The servant brought back a batch of precious canvases from Ireland, which are delicate and breathable.Mr. Yi Lian decided to paint in the study room. In recent days, he put off studying and painted several oil paintings in one breath.

Early on Thursday morning, when You En walked to the study, he saw Mr. Yi Lian standing by the window holding paint.

Mr. Yi Lian heard the voice, looked back, and immediately said:

"Youn, come here. I can't draw well."

His voice seemed urgent, but at the same time seemed relieved at last.

In a gentleman's family of well-born family, the boundary between low-level servants and nobles is clearly defined.Sometimes a servant bumps into his master accidentally in the corridor. In order to avoid hitting him, he has to stay in the corridor and never walk in front of the master.

If someone entered Mr. Yi Lian's study room, he would be dumbfounded by the sight in front of him.

Even the lame Eun, whom other servants looked down upon, stood beside Mr. Yi Lian, talking to his master as equals as two gentlemen.

You En looked at Yi Lian's paintings and said his thoughts truthfully: "I don't know if you are too self-effacing, but in my opinion, you have great creative talent."

Yi Lian pondered for a moment: "I did encounter a bottleneck. I can't say what is wrong, but there are serious flaws in my paintings."

"...?"

"Probably because I have never received systematic training. It seems that I need to hire another teacher."

You En thought for a while, and finally said: "He may not be able to reach your understanding of yourself. If you can't say what's wrong, it's difficult for the other party to make corresponding suggestions."

Yi Lian frowned slightly.

"Your creations are exhilarating and submissive. Didn't someone say it? 'Looking at yourself is pretentious'. It's just that..."

"but?"

"Maybe your painting is too perfect, but it seems to be lacking."

"..."

Mr. Yi Lian put down the paintbrush in his hand, with a troubled expression on his face, "I didn't understand."

"You are good at expressing holy humanity, and the pictures have no regrets. If you say that your works have a fatal flaw, it probably lies in...they are too perfect."

Eun's voice is very soft, and his speaking speed is also slow.

"Human nature is not divine, it is complicated because it is different. Even if they are all smiling happily, it is ever-changing. If you want to break through, maybe you can try different expressions. For example, expressionless or deep , crying or sad face."

Mr. Yi Lian spoke softly.

"is that so."

"..."

"I never noticed."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The studio is a large piece of glass top floor with excellent lighting.Above the heads of the two of them, there was a vast expanse of blue sky, thousands of miles of sunlight was unobstructed, and the tiny particles in the air were illuminated and visible.

You En stood in front of the easel, staring at the painting for a while, and Yi Lian spent the same time looking at him.

Suddenly he turned his head and saw Yi Lian staring at his face.

"You are watching me carefully, Mr. Yi Lian."

"..."

"What do you think I look like?"

Mr. Yi Lian turned his gaze away, his face turned red all of a sudden.He whispered: "You impertinent servant!"

Eun is not as scared as before, he didn't need Yi Lian to answer, he said by himself: "I have self-knowledge. Compared with you, I am an ugly sea monster. There are perfect people like you in the world, but there are also unbearable people. For me. People from the East have an old saying, 'If you want to know the world, you must know the dirt'."

Yi Lian had regained his composure. He shook his head, turned around and looked into the servant's eyes: "I disagree with you. Even if you are not a servant in my house, you are still a very good person."

"..."

"Has anyone ever said that you are very smart, you can find out the weaknesses of others, and you are also very flattering..."

Before Yi Lian could finish her sentence, she stopped by herself, and coughed to cover up, with a slight blush on her face.

Eun said slowly: "No one has said that about me. The most comments I get are that I am stupid and stupid, only you treat me as an equal."

Yi Lian smiled slightly: "In this way, I should stop the paintbrush in my hand and ask you to be my model."

Eun only felt his brain heat up and his ears buzzing.

Yi Lian continued: "You always look sad, I have never drawn such an expression."

Yoon's eyes widened.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The butler appeared at the door respectfully:

"I'm really sorry to bother you...Miss Diana told me to ask Ewan to come over."

Mr. Yi Lian looked a little surprised: "You En?"

"Yes."

"Okay," Yi Lian nodded, and said to the servant, "Go."

Unexpectedly, he saw You En's pale face, almost unsteady.

"What's wrong with you?" Yi Lian said in surprise.

"I, I, dare not see Miss..."

The little servant's teeth were shaking, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying.

Yi Lian couldn't help laughing: "I think it's something wrong. She doesn't know how to beat and scold you, so why be nervous? I think you made a mistake and got caught by her. Well, I'll go with you."

Eun showed a terrified expression.He wanted him to follow, but he was also afraid of being heard by him.However, it was difficult for the servant to change the master's decision. Mr. Yi Lian had already walked to Miss Diana's room before him.

There was the sound of breaking glasses in the room.

Mr. Yi Lian put away his smile, frowned and pushed open the door.

The lady's boudoir was in a mess, and the clothes and sheets were crumpled and thrown on the floor.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Diana rushed over and took Yi Lian's arm.

"The jewelry, the jewelry..."

Before he could speak, tears poured out.

Mr. Yi Lian comforted her patiently, asked her what happened, and listened to her intermittent explanation.

It turned out that after Eun placed flowers in the room, the priceless sapphire jewelry disappeared.

"Except for Eun, no one entered Miss Diana's room that day." The butler said sternly.

Yi Lian looked at Eun.

Ever since entering the house, Eun listened to their conversation, his face gradually turned pale, and then turned red again.

He finally spoke: "I didn't steal."

"..."

The butler and the lady didn't believe it.

Only Yi Lian remembered the theme of theft that You En suddenly mentioned when reading the tragedy that day.

The housekeeper standing next to him said, "Someone saw you acting sneaky after you came out of Miss's room."

"But……"

"Aren't you very short of money?"

Eun was stopped by this question.After a while, he nodded slowly: "Yes."

The housekeeper's expression was not good either: "It's fine if it's just ordinary jewelry...it happens to be the most expensive jewelry. Do you dare to say that you haven't done anything wrong?"

Since studying with Mr. Yi Lian, You En's expression has improved a lot.He is no longer shy and timid, but reveals a subtle sense of happiness.However, at this moment, Eun seemed to have returned to his former self, looking at Yi Lian's face in panic.

Mr. Yi Lian said softly: "Yuen, you should answer without hesitation."

You En broke out in cold sweat: "I, I can't say that I didn't do anything wrong. I touched the lady's jewelry..."

The butler gasped.

----The things he stole are enough for him to go to court a hundred times!

"But I really didn't take it away, I just touched it..."

The steward reprimanded loudly: "Shut up, you dirty and lowly servant, who will allow you to touch the master's things!"

"That's enough." Mr. Yi Lian, who had been silent all this time, said in a stern voice he had never had before: "You shouldn't say that about him."

The room fell silent, only the sobbing of Miss Diana could be heard occasionally.

After some time, Mr. Yi Lian eased his tone and said softly:

"Diana, maybe we can talk about your future gift..."

The lady has mentioned many times that she wants an ivory box niche worth twenty thousand pounds at the London Exhibition for Christmas.
