Chapter 294: Space
The husband and wife didn't stay in Zhuangzi for two days, and when Bai Nian'an's injuries were better, they returned to Kyoto with the Lin family, and since then, Kyoto City has also known about the hunting attack of the prince of Anding.
As soon as Zhou Xiaofu returned to the courtyard to change her clothes and rest, she saw Zi Ning coming to tell her with a post, it was handed in by the Zhou Mansion, and she wanted to come to visit the princess and concubine tomorrow, and the letter was full of worry.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled faintly and said to Zi Ning: "Has the person who sent the post gone?" ”
Zi Ning said: "No, I'm waiting for news in the concierge." ”
Although Zhou Xiaofu is extremely reluctant to have an intersection with the Zhou family, but this body is from the Zhou family, this dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, and he can not care about other people's eyes, but now that he has married someone according to the customs, he must have the appearance of being a daughter-in-law.
Nodding in response: "Well, just reply to the letter, and tell me that I hope the second sister, the third sister and the sixth sister will arrive." ”
Cuihua said softly while helping to comb her hair: "Princess, don't you let other young ladies come?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled faintly: "Needless to say, just say who I want to arrive, don't say anything superfluous." ”
Zining nodded and went out.
Here, Zhou Xiaofu changed into a muslin long-sleeved skirt, her hair was simply tied in a round bun, and she simply inserted a shallot-colored hosta and got up to go to the concubine.
As soon as Zhu Guli came back, he went to the study to deal with things, and he would have to tell his mother-in-law that Ming'er's mother's family was going to come, and then he planned to take his mother-in-law to the temple the day after tomorrow, which was also what Zhu Guli meant. I'll have to let me know in advance.
It's just that as soon as she walked to the flower hall, there was a tall maid with excellent appearance, and when she saw her, she immediately saluted and said, "Princess Niangniang, the slave maid Cuilian will greet you." ”
This maid is very good-looking, with willow eyebrows and fine eyes. There is a beautiful mole under the corner of her eye, and she is soft and weak in a long skirt with goose egg yolk, which looks very good, not like a maid at all, but like a young lady from a big family.
Cuihua on the side smiled and said to Zhou Xiaofu: "Princess, Sister Cuilian is Mr. Bai's eldest girl. ”
Zhou Xiaofu raised a faint smile on her face, and she didn't speak, after all, she was like this to the living. has his own natural defense, and now that he is a princess, he doesn't need to be enthusiastic about a subordinate.
This Cuilian is a first-class girl in the palace. When she was very young, she was the prince's maid, and three years ago, the prince gave her to Mr. Bai as a maid.
However, Cuilian is not that little maid for a long time, Mr. Bai is an indescribable identity in the mansion, let's say it is a staff. But it is better than the status of a staff member. It's a guest, but he is in charge of many of the prince's properties, so he has a high status and is a somewhat mysterious person.
And Cuilian also became more frightened the more she served, and the frightening thing was that the prince treated Mr. Bai as if he was his own brother, and he also felt that Mr. Bai treated him differently.
Unconsciously has a feeling of superiority, if he says that he is a wife to Mr. Bai, then Mr. Bai is the brother of the prince, and he is not the younger sister of the princess. Therefore, Cuilian's salute was not so respectful, even with a hint of contempt.
The cuihua on the side was sold into the Zhou Mansion as a maid since she was a child. I was used to seeing people's faces, and I immediately noticed that something was wrong with this attitude, but I only frowned and didn't say anything.
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly felt a little funny, just a maid, how could she have a complacent look? Could it be that she is also equal in front of herself?
I have to say that Zhou Xiaofu's guess was right, and Cuilian did think so, it was only a matter of time before she was short.
And I have to say that Cuilian's posture and appearance conditions are really good, she is the eldest daughter of Steward Zhu, and the treatment is also excellent, needless to say, she eats and wears it, and she is also respected in the house, so it is not surprising that a maid in such an atmosphere has such an idea.
This Cuilian leaned over slightly and said softly in a voice like a yellow warbler: "Lord Wang, Mr. Bai wants to invite you over." ”
Bai Nian'an?
Zhou Xiaofu frowned slightly, looking for her?
She is now a married young woman, and this time and space is not allowed to meet foreign men in private, but she suddenly thought that she and Bai Nian'an had traveled from the open modern era, and she didn't have to worry about anything like this, and the prince also knew their situation, so it should be fine.
So he said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
Cuilian was slightly stunned when she heard these concise words, she thought that she had to spend some words, but she didn't expect the new princess to go so simply, although she got the answer she wanted, but she was slightly disdainful in her heart, this is still the princess, how can it be so easy to meet a foreign man, they all say that the new princess's background is lower, it seems that this background is really important, and the rules from a small family are worse.
Thinking like this, Cuilian's pace couldn't help but be a little flamboyant, looking at her just a slave who gave birth to a family, where she was allowed to be a maid to evaluate the granddaughter of a third-grade official, and then Zhou Xiaofu is now only a super-first-grade princess, with a fief, how can a little maid look down on her.
And Cuihua frowned on one side and could kill flies, her angry face flushed, the young lady has been married for two months, and she is very fond of the princess, from the housekeeper to the maid and the princess, all of them are respectful and polite to the princess, why did you come to such a thing today! It's still open, thinking that it's the master.
After entering the hall, I saw Bai Nian'an leaning on the couch alone, his arm fell off, and he was reading a book with one right hand.
Seeing this, Cuilian immediately forgot about the princess behind her, and immediately stepped forward and snatched the book in Bai Nian'an's hand worriedly: "Mr. Bai, why are you disobedient, the doctor said that you should rest well, otherwise this arm will be very slow." ”
Bai Nian'an on the side frowned, this Cuilian is getting more and more excessive, since Zhu Guli got married, this Cuilian seems to like to take care of herself more and more, and even forgot the identity of a maid, in fact, for people like Bai Nianan and Zhou Xiaofu from modern times, the concept of class is extremely weak, and they don't feel anything wrong when they are rude to their subordinates many times, and they treat their subordinates and masters directly as equals. Because the idea of fairness and equality of everyone is deeply rooted in the bones, and it cannot be changed for a while.
So it also made Cuilian feel more and more that Bai Nian'an was different to her, and after a while. She even felt that this was a hint, and she had a faint pride in her heart, and she lost her consciousness as a maid.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaofu on the side curled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled faintly, the meaning was unknown, and Bai Nian'an was suddenly full of black lines, if it was someone else, Zhu Guli or Li Ranqiu smiled at him like this. I can not care at all, but this person is Zhou Xiaofu, not because she is a woman. It's that she is a person from the same time and space as herself, although in different eras, from a subtle action, Bai Nian'an knew that Zhou Xiaofu was deliberately laughing at herself, which meant to see a joke.
Bai Nianan was a little embarrassed. His face also became extremely cold. And Cuilian on the side seemed to have not noticed, and continued to chatter: "Mr. Bai, if you say this, the wound is really not easy to heal.
And Zhou Xiaofu sat directly on the chair in the second row of the lower head, looking at the scene in front of him with a smile.
Cuihua behind her was even more ugly, how could this Cuilian look like Mr. Bai's daughter-in-law, her face was so thick-skinned.
And Bai Nian sat up straight angrily and avoided Cuilian's support, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Why don't you pour tea for the princess?" ”
Cuilian's eyes immediately widened, and she looked at Zhou Xiaofu and Bai Nianan with some grievances. How can she call herself like this in front of outsiders, although she is not Bai Nian'an's daughter-in-law now. But this is only a matter of time, and suddenly it occurred to my mother that men like to be cold in front of people, this is because of good face, and suddenly blushed a little and hurriedly went down to pour tea.
And Zhou Xiaofu was stunned by Cuilian, this Cuilian went from being embarrassed to shy for only a few seconds, and she didn't know what the plot had in this girl's mind to become so fast.
After a while, Zhou Xiaofu smiled faintly and said, "How is it?" Is the wound healing good? ”
Asking this, Bai Nian'an's eyes couldn't help but deepen, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's much better, the medicine given by the princess is very useful, and there is no hair dyeing and ulceration." ”
As she spoke, she stared straight at Zhou Xiaofu's face, observing what changes had occurred on her face.
And Zhou Xiaofu also knew that Bai Nian'an called herself to come just to ask about the origin of these anti-inflammatory drugs, and she didn't plan to hide it, so she was very calm.
And at this time, Cuilian's tea was delivered.
After the tea was placed, Cuilian naturally walked behind Bai Nian'an and stood there, looking like she didn't leave.
Zhou Xiaofu looked at this girl with some amusement, I don't know what kind of fantasy Bai Nian'an gave this girl, this girl will consciously enter the play.
Zhou Xiaofu waved her hand lightly.
And Cuihua naturally saluted and then withdrew.
At this time, Cuilian looked as if she didn't see anything, and stood there straight without planning to leave.
Bai Nian'an frowned very tightly, and glanced at Cuilian, hoping that she could see what he meant from his eyes and hurry out.
The girl also saw the meaning from this look, but she was surprised and surprised, how could she let her out, and couldn't help but stand up straight as if she was nothing.
Zhou Xiaofu took a sip of tea a little funny to hide her smile.
And Bai Nian's cold voice that was about to freeze to death came: "Cuilian, you go down first." ”
Cuilian looked at Zhou Xiaofu and then Bai Nian'an, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Bai, it's inappropriate for you to be like this." ”
Bai Nian's face turned red, although he was a little colder on weekdays, but because he was a modern person and had a gentleman's education of a modern person, even if a woman did too much, she would only save face for everyone, but she didn't know that this kind of practice would only make people think that he was easy to talk to.
"Are you going to let the guards take you out?" Bai Nian's voice was also cold.
Zhou Xiaofu couldn't help but put down her arm.
Cuilian's eyes widened, with disbelief in her eyes, seeing that Bai Nian'an meant this, if you don't leave, I will really call the guard, her eyes are full of tears, and the tears are about to fall, which makes people unbearable to look at.
Not enough Bai Nian'an's face turned even colder, he knew that the tolerant gentleman on weekdays did not make him feel good, but made people feel that they were bullying and fooling.
Cuilian staggered to the door with unsteady steps, half-ran to the door, turned around, looked back with a half-covered face still holding the pipa, looked at Bai Nian'an with complaining eyes, and went out with a handkerchief covering her mouth.
And Zhou Xiaofu was so sour that she covered her face with her hands, oh my mother, my teeth were going to be soured.
Bai Nianan looked at the departing people, then walked to the door and said to the guards outside: "No one will be allowed to come in!" Then he went back to his couch and sat down.
And Zhou Xiaofu drank tea leisurely, looking like she didn't care about me.
Bai Nianan sat down a little embarrassed, took a sip of the white water in front of him, and was injured, so he stopped drinking tea.
And Zhou Xiaofu didn't sit like this and asked, "Are you really going to take Jingzhu?" ”
Bai Nian'an didn't know why she asked this question, but Ren nodded very seriously and firmly: "Well, I've been practicing and exercising, I want to take it once, it's not a fantasy ability or anything, the main thing is that I saw from that note that there will be a space tear when I go back, and if my body is too weak, I will die directly, so I want to strengthen my body, so that I can go back safely." ”
Zhou Xiaofu really admires Bai Nian'an, she has been sticking to her thoughts all these years, and has been unremittingly looking for news in order to sit back and make various preparations.
Yes, this third notebook was stolen from my grandfather's study, very few, only three pages, and it was written about what I needed to prepare when I went back.
And this also made Bai Nianan firm in his idea of taking crystal nuclei to strengthen his body.
Zhou Xiaofu nodded lightly and said, "You can go back if you find those notes, I don't know what those three things are." ”
Yes, the journal line records that three items can be put together to open the rift in space-time, and return to the world you came to like a wormhole.
It's just that it is not written in the notebook what these three things are, so I can only continue to look for the rest of the parts.
And Bai Nianan thought about it and said with some difficulty: "Do you have a space or something?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu's eyes widened and she said with some curiosity: "How do you know?" ”
Seeing this, Bai Nian'an guessed, sure enough, he guessed that when he hadn't seen Zhou Xiaofu before, he knew that the traverser had brought some modern items, just like the seal, the diamond box, all of which were modern, and then he knew the ability and knew the end of the world, he thought of a post-apocalyptic survival novel that he had read on the plane when he was bored, and he talked about a kind of ability that is space-based and can store things, so he suspected that Zhou Xiaofu was such a space-based ability.
