Chapter 11 Martial Arts
After dinner at Jin Rou's, Fang Yage returned to his Yahe Garden, Bai Zhi changed a sunset purple cardigan for Fang Yage, and after bathing, she wore black hair, and the girl's graceful curves had begun to gradually appear. Bai Zhi combed Fang Yage's hair and said: "County Lord, Mama Tan and the thirteen girls have been arranged, Mama Tan lives in the wing room on the west side, and the thirteen girls are arranged in Zhuang Jie's house, and I asked Dong Lai to move to the back cover room and live with Qian'er and them." â
Bai Zhi and Zhuang Jie followed Fang Yage into the palace, and when they returned home, Long Shisan and Mama Tan followed, but there was no forsythia. The two understood that such a thing was not something they could ask, but they knew that Forsythia was left by the queen's mother, and Long Thirteen was rewarded to the county lord instead of Forsythia, and Mama Tan was the teacher in the palace, and their status was not low.
When Fang Yage heard this arrangement, he knew that Bai Zhi was taking care of the identities of Mama Tan and Long Thirteen, so he nodded. Bai Zhi is her eldest maid, she is sixteen years old this year, Banxia is one year younger than her, and both of them have grown up with themselves since childhood. Bai Zhi is mature and steady, she is cooking all the big and small things in her house, and she has never gone wrong, although Banxia is not very smart, but she is very loyal, and the words of the other party's Song of Songs have always been implemented to the letter, and she dares to jump into the pond even if she doesn't know how to water, so it can be seen.
Ai Ye is the most lively character among the maids, and she was supposed to serve her mother, but because she was quite talented in dressing, her mother rewarded her to herself. Licorice is a stuffy gourd, she only says a word when you ask, if you don't ask, she can not speak for a day. These four girls have their own characteristics, and now there are sophisticated Zhuang Jie and the ruthless Long Thirteen, and their yards are really getting more and more lively.
"You arranged it very well, so be it, Bai Zhi, you go and call Long Thirteen, I have something to tell her."
"Yes", Bai Zhi listened to the squat salute and turned to leave.
âŚâŚ
When Long Thirteen came in, Fang Yage was copying calligraphy on the rosewood flat-cornered table.
"Thirteen have seen the county lord" Long Thirteen knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Fang Yage was unmoved when he heard this, and continued to write without saying a word...... After a little half an hour, the last stroke of a notebook was written, Fang Yage looked at it, her current words were very different from when she was thirteen years old, then she nodded with satisfaction, put down the wolf pen in her hand, moved lightly, and turned to sit at the coral round table in the inner room.
Long Thirteen saw the corners of the white skirt floating in front of him, revealing the soft-soled phoenix embroidered shoes underneath, and the toe was a pearl the size of lotus seed rice, and Long Thirteen's eyelids jumped...... It's really a pampered lady in the boudoir.
Fang Yage sat down slowly, but he still ignored the kneeling people on the ground, and took a sip of the white fungus pear sweet soup in the white porcelain bowl on the table. The sound of the spoon touching the dishes rang out one after another, clanging on Long Thirteen's heart.
After half a cup of tea, Fang Yage drank a bowl of sweet soup before pulling out the silk handkerchief around his waist and gently wiping the corners of his mouth...... Long Thirteen only listened to Fang Yage's crisp voice, "If it's another maid serving here, you should bring me tea and rinse your mouth at this moment." â
Long Thirteen raised his head, and for a moment he still didn't understand, seeing Fang Yage playing with a silk handkerchief with both hands, and his eyes didn't look at himself, only then did he understand that Fang Yage wanted to pour water for her and rinse her mouth.
Long Thirteen hurriedly stood up, picked up the kettle on the table, and poured a glass of water for Fang Yage. Fang Yage only glanced at it, and then said, "It's too full!" â
Long Thirteen couldn't, so he had to spill the tea out of the window and pour another cup for Fang Yage. Fang Yage took it gently, rinsed his mouth, spit it out in the cup, and handed it to Long Thirteen.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Fang Yage asked unhurriedly, making Long Thirteen even more confused.
"Thirteen stupid, please make it clear to the county lord." Long 13 hurriedly put down the teacup and knelt down again to plead guilty.
After waiting for a long time, Fang Yage's crisp voice sounded again: "You just entered the door and knelt down to say goodbye, this is the rule of the personal guards in the inner courtyard of the palace, not the rules of the maid of my eldest princess's mansion, this is the first mistake." â
"After you enter the door, you watch the master learn calligraphy, neither hand the paper grinding, nor fan to serve, and do not do your duty as a maid, which is the second mistake."
"I want to drink tea and rinse my mouth, you don't know how to test the temperature of the water first, and you don't know that the tea can't be poured too full, and you won't serve it closely, which is the third mistake."
Regardless of these three points for the time being, the most wrong is ...... You only regard the county lord as a child in your heart, and you have no respect at all, thinking that coming to the eldest princess's mansion is burying your talents, and you are unwilling...... This is the most wrong! â
Hearing Fang Yage's words, Long Thirteen felt like he was knocked on the chest by a boulder, what Fang Yage said was right, she was indeed unwilling, she endured cruel training since she was a child to protect the emperor and the peace of this dynasty, but now she can only accompany a favored wayward county lord, it is simply to protect the sword and hide it...... But what surprised Long Thirteen even more was that this thirteen-year-old girl actually saw through her own thoughts, and gave her a dismount without mercy!
"If you think that you have come to my eldest princess's mansion, I can tell my uncle to send you back...... What do you think of someone else? â
The unhurried voice made Long Thirteen's body tremble. Send it back? Someone else? âŚâŚ It's not too difficult for the county lord of Anning to change someone from Long Wei, but if he is sent back! And also provoked the emperor's favorite county lord! âŚâŚ Then there is no need for her to save zĂ i!!
Thinking of this, Long Thirteen was shocked and sweated, and immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed to ask for guilt: "Thirteen knows that he is wrong, please give Thirteen another chance!" âŚâŚâ
Seeing that Long Thirteen finally lowered his posture sincerely, Fang Yage chuckled in his heart, it is difficult for a truly proud person to be convinced, but once he is convinced, he will be 100% loyal. No matter how sharp the sword is, she must use it, or she would rather destroy it, lest one day she be wounded by it.
Fang Yage got up slowly, slowly helped Long Thirteen, and said softly: "I know that you still have grievances in your heart now, but you will understand in the future that following me may be more dangerous than following my uncle......
Although Fang Yage's words made people feel incredible, Long Shisan still said softly, and he no longer dared to have a trace of contempt on his face and heart.
"From now on, you will be the first-class maid in my house, and you will be on duty at night on the warm floor next to the bed, and Bai Zhi and the others will take turns to watch on the kang by the window. It's just you, and there is no one to change it, and you may have to protect me for a long time in the future. â
"It is the duty of slaves and maids to protect the county master!" Long Thirteen just wanted to kneel, remembered his identity, and awkwardly made a sideways blessing.
Fang Yage looked at it and smiled softly: "You still have to learn more from Bai Zhi and them in the future, and it will be fine slowly......"
"Yes," Long Thirteen faced.
"And your name needs to be changed, most of the girls in my house are named after medicinal herbs, how about you call it perilla in the future?"
"Slave and maid, thank the eldest princess for her name." Naturally, there is no objection to changing the name of Long Thirteen, originally Thirteen is just her ranking in the martial arts of Long Wei, which does not make much sense.
âŚâŚ
On the second day, Banxia returned, seeing that Fang Yage was safe and sound, and the heart that had been hanging for many days was put down, seeing the little girl's crying eyes red, Fang Yage coaxed her for a while, and when it was time for lunch, he ordered the kitchen to add two more dishes, so that Angelica Angelica, Banxia, Zhuang Jie, perilla, mugwort leaves, and licorice sat down together, and the master and servant ate together.
Originally, a few maids didn't want to say anything, but there are no such rules in the eldest princess's mansion, and such dignity and inferiority are almost like being punished. But they didn't know that when Fang Yage fled, he was eating a big pot of dishes with everyone in the back kitchen of the brothel.
A few girls couldn't resist Fang Yage, so they had to sit down and accompany them, Fang Yage looked at the maids, thinking that in their previous lives, they were all worried about their fate, so they thought about making amends. But reliving a life, Fang Yage has too many things to do, she has to face more dangers than before, once there is an accident, a few girls will bear the brunt of it, and they will inevitably suffer from the disaster of the pond fish...... Thinking about it, Fang Yage had the idea that he wanted everyone to practice martial arts, and if there was any danger in the future, they would have the ability to protect themselves.
Fang Yage looked at Zhuang Jie and said, "Everyone in the courtyard knows that Zhuang Jie has martial arts, and people say that girls should be docile and virtuous, but I don't think so. The docile and virtuous are mostly bullied by treacherous and cunning, Zhuang Jie is very good, at least she can protect herself when she is in danger, and she can help others if she is stronger. â
Hearing Fang Yage say this, everyone thought that the county lord was mostly lamenting that he had fallen into the water, and they all nodded yes, who knew that Fang Yage's last sentence shocked everyone.
"So, let's practice martial arts with Zhuang Jie! I will also have the ability to save my life in the future, in case I encounter any danger in the future, you can also resist one or two! â
When they heard this, all the people fell silent, not knowing what to say. It was still Shisu who was the first to regain his senses, thinking that it was better not to let her teach, otherwise he would train a group of female killers for the eldest princess's mansion...... The consequences are worrying.
"County Lord, this, how can this work? We naturally have to serve our masters wholeheartedly as girls, how can we let other things consume our minds, and I heard people say that martial arts training should start from a young age, and now that our bones have grown, it is really not suitable to practice anymore! Bai Zhi hurriedly said, for fear that it would be a step too late, and the matter would be decided.
Zhuang Jie was relieved when she heard that someone objected, she was still not good at learning, and it was simply a mistake to teach others. And everyone is commensurate with each other, practicing martial arts is a chore, and if you don't have strict requirements, you can't achieve the effect, and I'm afraid that the county will blame you, but if you are strict, and offend people, it will be difficult for sisters not to have resentment in the future.
Seeing the girls' reactions, Fang Yage smiled in his heart, and didn't pay attention to Bai Zhi, but turned his head to ask Banxia: "Banxia, what do you think?" â
Banxia blinked his eyes and said innocently: "I listen to the county lord, you just say it's good, let me learn and I'll study hard." â
Fang Yage smiled at Banxia, turned his head and asked Ai Ye, who was looking forward to it: "Ai Ye, do you want to learn?" â
Ai Ye had been waiting for Fang Yage to ask her for a long time, this was an active person, she was worried about nothing to pass the time on weekdays, and said busily: "The slave maid thinks it's very good, people say that there are many skills and don't pressure the body, and we learn martial arts for the master, don't cause trouble to the master, it's best to protect the county lord." The slave must learn well with Zhuang Jie!! Ai Ye patted his chest and reassured, and Fang Yage nodded with satisfaction.
Is there anyone else who opposes it except Angelica Bai? Licorice is a stuffy gourd, naturally it won't come out of this, Shisu doesn't matter, anyway, she doesn't have to learn, and Zhuang Jie can't object, otherwise wouldn't she want to be lazy? Bai Zhi couldn't help but lament in her heart, 'When did the county lord become so cunning'? When he saw that the wood was finished, he stopped talking.
