187. 187 Kneel and beg
Mu Jiuxiao told her and asked her to come over to serve her at dinner, and she came as promised.
In the afternoon, she didn't even embroider the outline of a bell, and there were white strips of cloth wrapped around her fingers, and only three of the ten fingers were good, and she really didn't understand why the embroidery needle couldn't grow eyes, but pierced her hand.
Her little face has been tense, because her fingers hurt, and because even if it hurts, she still has to serve Mu Jiuxiao, the big bad guy, this is all for him.
After dinner, Mu Jiuxiao glanced at her conspicuous fingers and said casually:
"If you don't embroider well, don't force it."
She clenched her little fists, gritted her teeth and said:
"Who says I'm not good at embroidery? I'm very good at embroidery, so I'll wait and see! ”
Hmph, she will definitely embroider a decent thing, not for him, but for this breath that she can't swallow.
"Okay, a few days?"
Mu Jiuxiao looked at her and asked her for a deadline.
The momentum she had just mustered immediately fell.
"Uh...... Well...... this."
For her, I'm afraid how long it won't be long.
"Seven days,"
Mu Jiuxiao helped her come to a conclusion,
"Give the king a decent purse in seven days."
"Seven days?"
Her eyes widened, how could it be? She didn't even embroider a single outline for an afternoon, and seven days was just a few dozen more needles to her fingers.
"Can't do it?"
This is clearly the method of agitation, but she just eats this set.
"Okay, seven days is seven days, and after seven days, I will definitely let you see a unique purse in the world!"
She clenched her fists and swore an oath, and the corners of Mu Jiuxiao's lips hooked up an imperceptible smile.
After offering tea and fruits to Mu Jiuxiao, he asked her to retreat and go back to embroider her purse.
Seven days have passed, and in these seven days, except for the necessary waiting, Mu Jiuxiao has almost reserved her time, but in these seven days, can she really take out a unique purse for Mu Jiuxiao?
The answer is yes, can't you take out the good, can't you take out the bad?
Anyway, she embroidered it, and it was unique.
After breakfast on this day, the winter sun was warm outside, but the cold inside the house was pressing.
Lin Ling'er stood in front of Mu Jiuxiao, holding the purse in both hands and holding it in front of his eyes.
Mu Jiuxiao's gaze first fell on her face, and then moved to her purse, and her brows gradually twisted.
Raising his hand to pick up the purse and looking at it in front of him, his brows tightened more and more, and finally, he couldn't help asking:
"This is the bell?"
Lin Ling'er pursed her lips and was silent for a while before she mustered up the courage to say:
"Yes, this is the only bell in the world, the bell brand bell!"
Then, looking at the purse in Mu Jiuxiao's hand, his heart was empty.
Is this a bell? If you ask her, she will say that although this bell can't see the bell body, can't see the bell mouth, and can't see the projectile, but it took her seven days and thousands of needles to embroider her fingers, how can it not be counted?
In fact, this bell looks like a golden sun when it sounds good, but it looks like a big cake when it sounds bad, and only she dares to say that it is a bell.
Mu Jiuxiao looked at the unique bell purse in his hand, and after listening to Lin Ling'er's explanation, his eyebrows gradually stretched.
"A bell like no other."
As he spoke, his hand slowly tightened, and he took the bell purse in his hand.
Feeling as if something was hard in the purse, he unfolded his palm again in confusion, pulled open the golden silk rope on the purse, and took out a real copper bell from it.
Holding it in his hand and shaking it, it made a crisp and pleasant ringtone, adding a bit of liveliness to this overly quiet and dull study.
He looked at Lin Ling'er, and without waiting for him to ask, Lin Ling'er said anxiously:
"This is an extra gift, if you don't like that bell is not good-looking, then just look at it."
He looked at her, the corners of his lips lifted little by little, put the copper bell back in his purse, and shook it in his hand, I don't know if she was wrong, his face was a little proud, why is this?
"The king has taken it."
As he spoke, he took his purse into his arms.
Call...... Lin Ling'er sighed secretly, but fortunately he didn't make it difficult for her anymore, so he said:
"The slave maid went to prepare tea for the prince......"
As soon as he turned around, his wrist was clamped by him.
She turned around and tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.
"What does the prince want to do?"
She struggled, but he pulled her hand to his eyes domineeringly, his eyes fell on her fingertips, and then he took her other hand, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.
Ten white and delicate fingers were wrapped around the strips of cloth, and under the strips of cloth, dried blood stains could be faintly seen.
Such an intimate action made her heart tense, and she retracted her hand as she said:
"Lord Wang, please respect yourself!"
Unexpectedly, in the next second, he actually pulled her with more force, pulling her whole person into his wide embrace, and his steel-like arms tightly wrapped around her body.
She cried out in shock, and by the time she could react, he had buried his head in her neck socket, his burning breath spraying over her skin, causing her to tremble.
The long-lost embrace brought her not warmth, but heartache.
Her fingertips hurt, her heart hurts, and she burst into tears.
His embrace suffocated her, her burning lips seemed to fall on her neck, and she began to struggle:
"Let Me Go ......"
But he wouldn't let her go, and the two lips tended to move upward.
"Mu Jiuxiao, don't go too far...... Let go of ......"
She used all her strength to nurture and pushed him back.
When the two were anxious, Mutu's voice came from outside:
"Lord Wang, Young Master Tianning asks to see you."
Taking advantage of Mu Jiuxiao's distraction, she pushed him away, and she took a few steps back before standing firmly.
Quickly wiping away her tears, she picked up a feather duster and hid in the rows of bookshelves, hiding her panic.
"Let him in."
Mu Jiuxiao remained silent, as if nothing had happened, and sat down peacefully behind the bookcase.
After Mu Tianning came in, he first saluted Mu Jiuxiao, and then his eyes began to search the room, Lin Ling'er knew that he was looking for her, so he had to come out of the bookshelf and blessed him, but he didn't speak.
Mu Tianning saw her and showed a reassuring smile.
These days, he has been hiding in the Xiangfeng House to read, and except for a brief meeting with Lin Ling'er in the quiet forbearance room on weekdays, he has never asked her out to play together.
Seeing him today, he was particularly excited.
"Brother Yi, I have read all the military books you want me to read."
He said excitedly.
Mu Jiuxiao raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, then picked up the pen, lowered his eyes, practiced calligraphy on the paper, and said indifferently:
"Can you write it down?"
Mu Tianning nodded vigorously:
"Well, I made a note of it."
"Combat."
Mu Jiuxiao said three words in a short way.
Mu Tianning cleared his throat and began to recite it:
"Where the law of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, leather carts are thousands of times, 100,000 armor are carried, and thousands of miles are fed. Then the cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then the teacher of 100,000 will be ......"
Lin Ling'er stood behind the bookshelf, only listening to Mu Tianning reciting a long sentence that she didn't understand, and a child like her who didn't study well could only listen to it in her left ear and her right ear.
Looking out of the gap in the bookshelf, Mu Jiuxiao practiced calligraphy calmly, her face was calm and waveless, she secretly gritted her teeth, was he crazy just now? Or has it been too long since there was a woman, so vent with her?
Too long without a woman?
As soon as this idea came to her, she remembered that he didn't seem to have stayed in Chongxiao Pavilion for a while, what was going on?
According to the situation she got along with him before, he shouldn't have snubbed the princess.
Just as she was thinking of it, Mu Tianning pulled her sanity back with a word.
"Brother Yi, the younger brother has a reluctant request, I don't know if the brother can agree."
Reluctantly invited? Last time, Shangguan Qingqing came to a reluctant invitation, and as a result, he took her out for two hours, and came back to make her embroider a purse for seven days, this time he had to come to a reluctant invitation, wouldn't he come to trick her again?
"Say."
Mu Jiuxiao didn't look at him, only threw out a word.
At this time, Mu Tianning turned his head to look at her, she was stunned, what did she do?
Then I saw him kneeling down and saying solemnly:
"Brother-in-law, junior brother wants to ask you for someone."
Asking for a personal? Lin Ling'er suddenly rejoiced in her heart, she wouldn't be here to beg her, right?
It seems that he has not forgotten what Jì said on the lakeside that day, she said that she wanted to go to his side to be a maid, and he came to fulfill his promise? Good buddy, it's interesting enough, she secretly gave Mu Tianning a thumbs up in her heart.
Seeing him kneeling down and speaking so formally, Mu Jiuxiao also put down his pen, stood up, walked around the bookcase to his side, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said:
"If you have anything to say, get up and say it."
"No, brother-in-law, you promised me, I'll get up again."
Mu Tianning was stubborn.
Mu Jiuxiao simply let him and asked:
"Okay, let Brother Wei listen to it, who is worthy of your kneel and beg."
(Netizens were shocked, it turns out that the word 'kneeling and begging' comes from this!) )
Mu Tianning took a deep breath and said:
"Brother-in-law, my little brother wants you to give me the bell."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Jiuxiao's eyebrows converged without leaving a trace, and then they stretched out again, and his gaze shifted from Mu Tianning's blazing eyes to Lin Ling'er behind the bookshelf.
He seemed a little surprised by Mu Tianning's request, but he was not surprised.
At this time, Lin Ling'er turned around and tried to minimize her sense of existence, and Mu Jiuxiao could only see a small back of her head through the gap in the bookshelf.
Lin Ling'er prayed in her heart, she must agree, once he agreed, she would immediately follow Mu Tianning and leave, never return here.
"For you?"
A moment later, Mu Jiuxiao's deep voice sounded in the study, he seemed to be playing with this sentence, and then asked with mockery,
"What do you want her to do?"
Lin Ling'er secretly sweated for herself, nonsense, of course I want to be a maid in the past, be friends, we don't know how happy we are to have fun together!
However, after Mu Tianning's next words came out, she couldn't be happy anymore.
"I'm going to marry her, I'm going to make her my woman!"
The pure timbre sounded, but it knocked a hole in Lin Ling'er's heart, she never thought that Mu Tianning would speak so amazingly.
