Chapter 12: Entering the White Tiger Hall by mistake
That Chu San, who was originally depressed, thought that he would go to prison, but when he saw that Young Master Naming glanced at him, he only said in his heart that the other party wanted to save him, and his face was happy, but he didn't know how to answer.
Steward Wu was confused when he heard this, and he asked, "Young Master Ming, what is the truth?" β
Liu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "That night, I was hungry in my belly, so I wanted Chu San to make a supper. I remember that the maid Xiaorou said that there was a famous dish called saliva chicken in her hometown, and when it arose, she asked Chu San to ask Xiaorou about the recipe of this dish. This is the reason why Chu San appeared in the maid's room late at night. β
"This ......" Steward Wu was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "That Xiaorou, you didn't tell me before......"
"Then you go with me. Find the maids that day and confront them. β
It didn't take long for Xiao Rou and the other maids to be led to Liu Ming.
Steward Wu immediately asked: "I met the young master just now, and the young master said that this Chu San was ordered by the young master last night to come to you Xiaorou to ask about the practice of saliva chicken, not to be wanton and frivolous, is it?" β
This Xiaorou is such an eccentric little girl, and she has a good relationship with Liu Ming in the house. When she saw Liu Mingchao winking at herself, she chirped and said, "Yes, Steward Wu, that's it." β
As soon as Xiao Rou said this, the other maids also nodded immediately and echoed one after another.
This one said: "Oh, look at my memory, I just remembered that Chu San is indeed asking for a way to cook." β
The one said, "Yes, our little girl has not opened the door, saying that men and women do not kiss." As a result, Chu San said that the young master wanted to eat supper, so he opened the door. β
Steward Wu nodded when he saw that the maids were uneven, and he talked nonsense, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart. He said smoothly: "So that's the case, the matter has been investigated clearly, so there is no need to pursue it." β
Everyone tacitly agreed, and they were ready to release Chu San. Clinker, at this juncture, a woman hurriedly walked from the rear, and shouted directly: "Steward Wu, have you dealt with Chu San's matter?" β
The Wu housekeeper turned around and saw that it was Liu Wu, and said with a smile: "Madam, the matter has been clarified." Chu San has a reason. β
"What happened?" Liu Wu's throat narrowed, "A big man, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, ran to the maid's room, and there was a reason?" Are you trying to protect him? β
Liu Wu was aggressive, which made Steward Wu a little overwhelmed and bowed his head and remained silent.
Liu Wu poked and poked at Steward Wu with his finger: "Let me tell you, don't think that you are the housekeeper of a mansion, what can you do?" β
"Little nature doesn't dare to do anything." Steward Wu said aggrievedly.
"It's good if you don't dare to do anything. Hurry up and deal with this Chu San for me. Today he dares to run to the maid's room in the middle of the night, and tomorrow he will probably run to my room? Liu Wu shouted fiercely.
Steward Wu spitted on his face, his smile stiffened, and he said, "Madam, there really is a reason for it." Na Chu San was entrusted by Young Master Ming to ask Xiao Rou for the secret recipe of the saliva chicken in the middle of the night for supper. β
"Young Master Ming?" Liu Wu's mouth pouted.
Steward Wu raised his head and smiled, "It's Young Master Ming." β
"I commissioned it." Liu Ming took a step forward and stood up, looking at Liu Wu with straight eyes, "Auntie, how are you doing?" β
"Good...... Good. Liu Wu glanced at Liu Ming and said coldly, "Since it was commissioned by the virtuous nephew, then it is inconvenient for me to say more." It's just that...... If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and you will do it yourself. β
Liu Wu threw such a sentence fiercely, and then snorted and left.
Liu Ming shrugged his shoulders, this Liu Wu clan is probably still remembering his revenge for driving away Steward Zhao.
He didn't have time to care about the emotions of the woman's family, thinking that he would have a dinner in Pan's house at night, and he would talk about the mountains and seas with the scholars of the academy, so he stepped into the stable, pulled out the "lightning", stepped on it, and rode outside the house.
β¦β¦
Two hours later, in the willow house.
The bright moon hangs high, and the clear light is sprinkled all over the courtyard.
In front of the window of the south wing, candles flickered and flames shook gently. A handsome young woman uses scissors to cut off the excess wick so that the flame burns steadily again. By candlelight, she picked up the satin and continued to fly the needle.
A maid walked up to her, stretched out her head to look, and exclaimed: "Miss Xing'er is ingenious, she can get started so quickly, I think, better than us subordinates." β
Liu Xing'er pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and continued to focus on the female red in front of her.
"By the way, miss, the master seems to have something to find you, let you go." The maid said.
"Okay, let's go now." Liu Xing'er put down the satin in her hand, got up slowly, gently closed the wooden door, and left the wing.
The house was quiet again.
After a moment, he was rudely knocked away, and a young man covered in alcohol stumbled in, and was stumbled by the threshold.
"How did the bar get higher?" The young man's eyes were misty, and he staggered up straight, trying to remember with his drunken brain.
He was tossing and turning, but he was so drunk that he didn't listen to his feet, but sat on the floor tiles.
This young man is naturally Liu Ming after being drunk.
This Liu Ming, with several classmates from the academy, was so drunk in Pan's house that he almost took the wrong way back. He was so drunk that he was still wondering why his house had completely changed.
The dresser, the red mantle, and the picture of the lady hanging on the wall made the drunk Liu Ming feel more and more wrong.
Until he saw the white daughter ** and pink belly pocket hanging on the hanger, he was shocked.
Could it be that this is not ......
This is it!
Liu Ming's head buzzed.
It's over, it's over, and I've broken into the apricot boudoir.
Or in the middle of the night......
A chill immediately ran down his spine.
The discipline of this Liufu is indeed very strict. I and Xing'er, although they are cousins in name, even stay together and talk, we have to avoid gossip, let alone live in the same room.
He felt a little bad, in case those subordinates knew that they were still defending Chu San in the afternoon, and broke into his cousin's boudoir at night, wouldn't he become a well-dressed beast?
At this time, the candle flame flickered, and his remorseful sigh sounded in the boudoir,
"Hey, the leopard's head strayed into the White Tiger Hall!"
However, after all, it was the first time to arrive at the women's boudoir, and the hot-blooded man Liu Ming still couldn't hide his curiosity, looked around, and soon, his eyes were attracted by the purse on the table.
The purse, small and exquisite, with tassels and beads, fine stitching, but people can't put it down.
Liu Mingtuo held it in his hand, and saw that there seemed to be a word embroidered on it. He lit the oil lamp and looked closely, but he was stunned.
Under the dim yellow light, the light blue purse was clearly embroidered with the word "Ming".
When Liu Ming saw it, there was a burst of sweetness in his heart, as if he had won the jackpot.
Living in this Liu family, everything is satisfied, and only one lover is missing.
The apricot in the boudoir is knowledgeable, dignified, proficient in music and rhythm, and good at poetry, which seems to have made Liu Ming find a sense of love.
The academy cultivates oneself, and then marries a wife and a family, so that you can govern the country and level the world.
Seeing his name embroidered on the purse, he was moved and sighed at Xing'er's ingenuity.
At this time, hearing the rattling of the latch, Liu Ming felt that someone was about to enter the house, so he squatted behind the hanger.
With a "creak", the door opened, and the figures of two women entered the houseβit was Xing'er and Na Xiaorou.
The little soft smiled and said, "Miss, are you still sewing that purse?" I see that you have been sewing this purse for two months. β
Xing'er whispered, "It's almost right, it's almost enough." β
"Is it for Ruyi Langjun?" That Xiaorou deliberately said loudly.
"Let you talk nonsense!" The apricots are about to fight.
"I think it's ......"
Liu Ming hid behind the hanger, thinking that if Xiao Rou saw him here, he didn't know what bad words he would say.
The two frolicked for a while, Xiaorou closed the house and left, leaving Xing'er alone in front of the window and continuing to mend the embroidery.
The moonlight poured like mercury into the house, covering the beautiful back of the apricot with a layer of silver.
The shadow curtain is on the embroidery screen, and the mandarin duck weaving is afraid of the needle stopping.
The candlelight flickered, and it made Xing'er's face charming and moving, with red lips and white teeth, a beautiful flower, two curved eyebrows painted with distant mountains and green, and a pair of eyes moist in autumn. Liu Ming couldn't help but look stupid, his body slackened, and he touched the hanger.
With a "bang", the hanger lay on the ground.
"Ah......h β
Liu Ming knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to stand up and say to Xing'er's headless and brainless sentence,
"Such a coincidence? Are you here too? β
When Xing'er saw that it was Liu Ming, she said unexpectedly: "Why are you here?" Hearing the stupid words he said, he couldn't help but hide his mouth and laugh, "This is my boudoir, I'm not here, where are I?" β
Liu Ming saw that Liu Xing'er did not shout "catch the hooligans", and he was relieved.
"Oops......" Liu Xing'er held the index finger of her right hand and called softly.
"Really?" Liu Ming said with concern, "I'll take a look at ......" He leaned closer and saw a drop of blood oozing from Liu Xing'er's green index finger, which must have been caused by the fright of the stitches just now, and the finger was picked by a needle.
With dim candlelight and an ambiguous atmosphere, Liu Ming suddenly became bold and said, "I'll help you...... Tremble your fingers, and the blood will not remain. β
Liu Xing'er had never heard such frivolous words, she blushed and retorted, "Won't I know it myself?" β
"It's not as good as me." Liu Ming looked serious, "Believe me, I have good skills." β
The two just looked at each other, a little shy, a little embarrassed.
"Recently...... Didn't take Xiaorou to the lotus pond for boating? Liu Ming took the lead in breaking the ice.
"Xiao Rou didn't dare to go again, and walked around the lotus pond every time." Xing'er smiled like a flower, "She said that unless you are here, you will never go to the lotus pond again." β
When the two talked about the old things, they couldn't help but feel warm and happy.
The candles melted, the lonely men and widows reunited, and there was a kind of ambiguity in the air.
"This purse...... Who is it embroidered for? Liu Ming looked at the purse on the table and asked knowingly.
"I ......," Liu Xing'er blushed, "I embroidered and played with it myself." β
"Show me, I'll know who it's for." Liu Ming made a gesture to rob. Xing'er was in a hurry and hurriedly protected her.
Liu Ming couldn't put his hand down, and said with a smile: "I already saw it just now." β
Liu Xing'er blushed and her heart was beating, and the deer in her heart was bumping, and she said, "What did you see?" β
"I saw a word embroidered on the purse."
