Chapter 17: The Beauty Comes Out of the Bath
"Click-click."
Jiang Xiaoxuan, who was packing her luggage in the house, heard the roof tiles ringing, and was stunned for a moment, and then heard a few cat meows. I can't help but feel a little irritable in my heart, what are these cats doing in the middle of the night?
At this time, Xi'er's voice came from outside the house: "Miss, hot water is here." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan immediately hurriedly stuffed the burden under the bed, sat upright, looked outside the door and said calmly: "So fast? ”
"yes!" Xi'er replied: "The inn has already prepared fragrant soup for you, just waiting for your orders, and I will send it to you." ”
"Okay."
After Jiang Xiaoxuan said this, she hurriedly sat upright and turned her back to the door.
Then, Xi'er pushed open the door and came in, followed by two innkeepers, who lowered their heads in a proper manner, carried in the bath bucket full of hot water, and placed it in the center of the room, and did not dare to stay in their eyes, and quickly retreated.
"Alright." Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Xi'er calmly and said, "You also hurry up and rest, I'll do it myself." ”
"How's that going to work?" Xi'er looked at her with wide eyes, "Aren't you always waiting for me to take a bath." ”
This girl, why is she so clingy, no, she has to think of her.
"Hmm." Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded, stood up, slowly walked to the edge of the bathtub, stretched out her hand to paddle in the water, tested the water temperature, frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "Why don't you have the freshly picked rose petals?" Hurry up and find someone to get it, go quickly. ”
"Miss, I've already told someone to get it, and it's better to slow down at night. What else do you need? ”
As soon as Xi'er's words fell, she heard an old woman's voice outside the house: "Miss Xi'er, bring the rose petals you wanted." ”
"Miss, look, isn't this coming?"
Xi'er happily went to pick up the petals, and when she returned to the house, she poured the petals into the bathtub. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with a faint scent of roses.
Jiang Xiaoxuan was helpless, glanced at the reflection of the guard on the bed, and had to slowly untie her clothes under Xi'er's gaze.
After stepping on the bench and stepping into the bathtub, the moment she was wrapped in hot water, Jiang Xiaoxuan still snorted comfortably. However, after a while, her mood was lost, and she felt even more gloomy when she looked at the reflection of the guard in the window, and then at the corner of the burden hidden under the bed.
Xi'er gently rubbed her long hair with soap, and when she saw that her master seemed to be unhappy, she naturally didn't dare to chatter.
However, she is a straight girl, seeing Jiang Xiaoxuan's appearance, she couldn't hold back her words, and she couldn't help but persuade after a long time: "Miss, you just wait to be the bride tomorrow with peace of mind, don't think nonsense." You think about people, but people don't necessarily think about you. ”
"What nonsense?" Jiang Xiaoxuan was very irritable.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xi'er pouted dissatisfiedly, "Look...... Then since Li Lang lives in the capital, don't you know that we have also arrived? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan was stunned for a long time before biting her lip and confessing: "He is a scholar, buried in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, how can he have the time to inquire about this?" ”
"It's not...... Xi'er muttered: "I can listen to the mother-in-law of the inn, saying that a month ago in the capital spread the news of the queen mother's marriage, ten days ago the Jin Mansion has begun to arrange flowers and trees ribbons on our Tujing Street along the way, just such a big battle, he didn't hear the wind at all, unless his ears were pasted with dough."
When Jiang Xiaoxuan heard this, she only felt uneasy, and her heart couldn't help but speed up.
Xi'er saw that she was silent, and felt that what she said had an effect, so she immediately continued: "You have tried to escape from Lu several times to find that Li Lang, and Li Lang wants to know that Miss Lu Dao is coming to the capital, so naturally he should come to you first." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxuan had a solid reason to refute, she smiled lightly and said: "It's not that you haven't seen it along the way, there are many officials along the way, and after entering Beijing, he has added a few layers of guards, how much ability does he have to bypass these guards to find me?" ”
"The young lady knows that the road is towards him!" Xi'er rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, I think he really has a young lady in his heart, and he has to come to the mountains and fires, so as to live up to the young lady's infatuation with him." ”
The part of Jiang Xiaoxuan's heart that she didn't want to admit was broken by someone, this feeling was a little sad, a little painful, and a little embarrassing.
"Okay, okay, you go out first, I want to be quiet by myself."
"Miss......"
"That's it!" Jiang Xiaoxuan pretended to be angry, "I'm all soaked here, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?" Do you want you to take all my clothes out of the house? ”
Xi'er hurriedly got up and withdrew: "Don't dare, Xi'er is going out, Miss can call me at any time if she has something." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan closed her eyes and nodded, Xi'er looked at her for a long time, and then she walked backwards and closed the door.
As soon as Xi'er left, Jiang Xiaoxuan immediately turned her head to look out the window, but the guard was still in place, motionless! Jiang Xiaoxuan was so anxious that she had to smash the water in the bath bucket with her hand hatefully. In an instant, the petals rose and the water dropped.
"Click-click."
The roof tiles rang once, and Jiang Xiaoxuan closed her eyes in annoyance and ignored them. Where would she know that at this time, on the roof, there was a gentleman on the beam, looking for her.
The man lifted the tiles and chanted the words: "Miss Jiang, where are you, where are you?" ”
This person was dressed in a dark night robe with a black face covering on his face, and it was the jade unicorn that had just jumped into the wall. She was quietly attached to the roof, blending in with the surrounding night, and it was impossible to see without looking closely.
In the courtyard of the inn, there are all kinds of carriages to send relatives, and in the courtyard, there are not only the guards of the Jin Mansion, but also the guards of the Jiang Mansion, all of which are five big and three thick, and they are constantly patrolling back and forth in the courtyard.
The corners of Yu Ruyi's lips hooked up a light smile, and her eyes were like little foxes, "Little nursery, how can it be rare for me to live with a jade unicorn?" "It's just, this Miss Jiang, where are you?
This is the third room she is looking for, and the previous one was either an empty room, or it was the mother-in-law who sent her relatives, and she was a person, anyway, she didn't see Miss Jiang.
"There are so many houses, and an inn is bigger than a Zhuangzi in our Emei Mountain! Call me how to find it! The jade qilin muttered, picked up a tile under his hand, and did not have much hope in his heart, ready to leave with a glance. Unexpectedly, a thick aroma wafted out of the open hole.
"It smells so good." The jade unicorn leaned over the hole to look.
I saw that there was a fairy-like beauty soaking in the bathtub below, the petals floating on the water surface, and the curling steam rising from the water, set off her skin like snow fat and jade.
It seems that this is Miss Jiang? The jade unicorn admired in his heart, what a great beauty! The picture in front of me is clearly a picture of a concubine bathing!
At this moment, a terrible scream came: "Ahhh
The jade unicorn, who was originally admiring the beauty bathing picture, heard this miserable cry coldly, and his heart suddenly slipped under his clothes, and he stepped on the air! What she didn't expect was that the roof of this inn turned out to be a tofu scum project, and she stepped on the empty foot, just stepping into the hole that was uncovered. In an instant, there was a bang, and it fell directly from the roof into Jiang Xiaoxuan's bathtub!
Jiang Xiaoxuan saw that there was an extra "man" in her bath bucket, and immediately screamed!
The jade unicorn finally lifted his head out of the water, and before he could come back to his senses, he heard Jiang Xiaoxuan's scream, and hurriedly pressed Jiang Xiaoxuan into the water in fright.
Jiang Xiaoxuan kept struggling, drank several sips of water in a row, and gradually lost her strength. The jade qilin saw that something was wrong with her, and was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of his hand.
"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ......" Jiang Xiaoxuan gasped and coughed, she had drunk a lot of water just now.
Seeing her painful appearance, Yu Qilin's heart was full of apologies: "You have nothing to do, right?" ”
When Jiang Xiaoxuan heard this, she didn't even raise her head, just a slap in the face.
The jade qilin grabbed her hand quickly and said, "How do you beat people!" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan was ashamed and angry: "Adulterous thief! ", I didn't care about it, and it was a random beating to the jade unicorn.
While dodging, the jade qilin tried to restrain her, and the two scuffled.
Finally, the jade qilin couldn't bear it anymore, and used a little skill, pulling Jiang Xiaoxuan down in front of him, restraining her from waving her hand with one hand, and covering her mouth with the other.
"Be quiet!"
But how could Jiang Xiaoxuan sit still, she had an idea, and bit the jade unicorn's hand in one bite, the jade unicorn was in pain, and her hand shrank unpreparedly and was hit on the bridge of the nose by her fierce punch.
Jiang Xiaoxuan took the opportunity to shout: "Someone is coming, ......"
The jade unicorn hurriedly reached out to cover Jiang Xiaoxuan's mouth, and in a hurry, he opened his shirt with the other hand, revealing his bright red belly pocket: "What's it called, I'm also a woman!" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan was instantly dumbfounded.
The two stared at each other with wide eyes, although the other party was a woman, Jiang Xiaoxuan was still wary.
"You are Miss Jiang." The jade unicorn slowly pulled at his clothes.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at her, not knowing whether she should answer or not, it was not clear whether this person was an enemy or a friend.
Suddenly, she found that the figure of the guard that had been printed on the window was gone! Moreover, there seems to be a lot of commotion in the courtyard at this moment, as if they are searching for people.
That's right! That scream just now! It must be some kind of villain...... It must be yes, when she entered the door, she saw a big black wolf dog in the backyard, it must have been bitten by a dog.
It seems that the guards have gone down to search for people, and this is a good opportunity!
She rolled her eyes, pulled away violently, pressed the jade unicorn's shoulder with one hand, and quickly climbed out of the bathtub with her strength, and then quickly pulled over the clothes that had been prepared and put them on, and accidentally knocked over the burning candlestick.
The room was suddenly dark, and Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly pulled out her baggage from under the bed and grabbed the door.
And the jade unicorn was pressed hard by her, the soles of her feet slipped, and the whole person did not reach the water. When she struggled to sit up from the tub, she saw that the room was empty and it was pitch black, and she was dizzy.
"Miss Jiang...... River...... Hey, what about people? The jade unicorn shouted as he climbed out of the bathtub with all his hands and feet, looking at himself soaking wet, frowning, and angry: "It's really unlucky!" ”
