Heat Wave (2)
The maid, who had disappeared for a long time, raised her hand to block her forehead, walked from the other side, looked at Ling Xiao's back and persuaded: "Madam, the sun is hot outside, let's go into the house." The slave has something for you. ”
A trace of curiosity flashed in Ling Xiao's mind, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, but she has seen it these days, this girl is very thief, and she has suffered a lot of small losses in the hands of the maid. Unmoved, she gazed at the nest for a long time, and outside the nest two snow-white giants leaped through the pine branches.
In the end, his scalp was scorched by the scorching sun, and Ling Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned around and walked towards the house.
The maid was covered in sweat, followed by Ling Xiao, and breathed a sigh of relief after entering the house, she had really been hot just now. But when she looked at Ling Xiao, she found that there was not a trace of sweat on Ling Xiao's forehead. She couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the head of her family liked to take her wife into his arms as soon as he came. On such a hot day, even she couldn't help but want to rush over and hug one of her wife's arms, it was cold and cold, it was really cool.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Ling Xiao looked at the maid's fiery eyes, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she had a bad premonition, I don't know what this ghost girl is thinking.
The maid met these two cold eyes coldly, was slightly stunned, put away the emotion in her heart, and then smiled wryly, and pointed to the case: "Madam, please take a seat." ”
There is an extra square brocade box on the case, which is not very large. Ling Xiao walked over and sat down, but he was not very interested in the contents of the brocade box, so he directly picked up the bamboo slips on the side and studied them.
"Madam, it's not too late to read it later, the slave has something important to tell you." The maid was mysterious, and opened the brocade box as she spoke.
Ling Xiao took his eyes off the bamboo slip and glanced inside the brocade box, which turned out to be a black belt with exquisite embroidery. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the maid suspiciously, a little puzzled, what was the use of giving her a man's belt?
The maid took the belt out of the brocade box, and explained to Ling Xiao's slightly suspicious look: "This belt was specially sewn by the slave maid in our dining room, and her female red is the best on the cliff. ”
Ling Xiao was not very interested, put away the little doubt on his face, very calm, and did not wait for the maid to finish speaking, and then focused his eyes on the words.
"Madam, here's the thing. The 27th birthday of the master of the door is approaching, and he will be very happy if you give this to him and say that you sewed it yourself. I guess that a woman like Madame who is fanatical about martial arts must not be good at female popularity, so I have it for you. The maid was also used to Ling Xiao's coldness, and now although Ling Xiao ignored her, she knew that Ling Xiao was listening and talking with relish. She also wanted to keep Ling Xiao, after all, it was safest for her to stay here.
If Ling Xiao leaves, maybe one day their cliff master will be angry and kill all the maids around him, then most of their maids will become substitutes, and they will be selected to serve their cliff master, which is terrible to think about. As long as Ling Xiao doesn't leave, she will be Ling Xiao's personal maid, and if she really wants to choose a substitute at that time, she can also escape the catastrophe.
Ling Xiao's gaze slowly moved on the seal characters one by one, his expression was serious, casual and calm, and he said lightly: "His birthday has nothing to do with me, but you will think about your master." I'm afraid that I'm holding back the bad water again and wants to pit me. Ling Xiao was a little glad, although this girl was a thief, her nature was not bad, otherwise, her situation would have been even more dangerous.
"Where? How dare the slave and maid pit you, Madame? I'm not doing this to promote your relationship with the master? Besides, how can Madame say that it has nothing to do with you on the birthday of the master? The maid flashed her eyes wide, pretending to be innocent.
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and waved his hand at the maid casually: "Put the things away." ”
The day that the maid said came in a blink of an eye, and after breakfast, three or four maids came into the house one after another with new clothes, rouge gouache and various hair accessories, to dress up Ling Xiao. This made Ling Xiao a little confused, so he let these people exit at the exit. But these maids were unmoved, and very respectfully invited Ling Xiao to the back of the screen, and forcibly changed Ling Xiao into new clothes.
Ke Tianxu, on the other hand, always sat behind the desk and leisurely sipping tea, looking out of the way, and glanced at the screen from time to time, but he couldn't see anything in the haze. Of course, what these maids did was what he ordered, but he didn't tell Ling Xiao that he was going to take her to meet the others.
"Well, this dress is good, it goes well with you." Ke Tianxu, who was holding a tea cup, turned his head to look over, and saw that Ling Xiao was being surrounded by several people, he looked her up and down with a flat gaze, and nodded with satisfaction.
Ling Xiao saw that Ke Tianxu's gaze fell on her neck, and there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in her heart. Because when she got up in the morning and looked in the mirror, she saw a kiss mark on her neck, which was a good thing done by this shameless person last night, and that position could not be concealed at all, obviously deliberately.
Seeing that the other party's eyes hadn't moved, they stared at the kiss marks openly, Ling Xiao's eyes seemed to have condensed a layer of frost, and he looked back: "What the hell are you doing?" In my eyes, what you do is really like a clown. ”
"It's just a little mark, why does Madame need to be so aggressive, just pay attention to it for her husband next time." Ke Tianxu's eyes were calm and waveless, and the corners of his lips were hooked shallowly, but his smile did not spread into his eyes.
After a few maids entered the house, they saw the kiss marks on Ling Xiao's neck, and at this moment, when they heard Ke Tianxu say these words without hesitation, their cheeks suddenly turned red.
Ling Xiao glanced at the few silent maids beside her, her face was expressionless, she didn't look at Ke Tianxu again, her voice was flat but resolute: "Don't worry, I will pay back the shame I have suffered these days." And Yanlingzhan, I won't let him have a good time. ”
"Okay, I'll wait. But now it's better to make up first. As for Yanlingzhan, you don't have to worry about this lady, if you want to deal with him, you can do it for your husband. Ke Tianxu's face was leisurely, he didn't care about what Ling Xiao said, and he also motioned with his eyes to let a few maids dress up Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao took the initiative to walk in front of the mirror, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and his voice was flat: "You don't have to do it for you." I've got a surprise for you, but you'll have to wait a few more days. ”
"Oh? I'm looking forward to it. Ke Tianxu narrowed his eyes slightly, and bowed his head with interest, but he was sure that Ling Xiao couldn't make any waves around him.
The atmosphere between the two was filled with a faint weirdness, which made the maids feel strange. After they finished dressing up Ling Xiao, they didn't need Ke Tianxu to speak, they hurriedly retreated, unwilling to stay longer.
Ke Tianxu didn't take Ling Xiao out immediately, seeing Ling Xiao sitting alone in front of the mirror and silent, he got up and said a few words to the personal maid standing in the corner. Then he turned around and walked a few steps, jumped into a leap, and flew down the cliff into the stone cave where he was practicing.
It wasn't until near noon that Ke Tianxu reappeared, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, which was caused by the practice. He took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and told the man at the door to fetch water, and he would bathe and change his clothes.
Seeing that the subordinate carried buckets of hot water into the house, and then was sent into the screen, Ling Xiao's face was calm, and he turned around to go out, but Ke Tianxu held a jade arm: "The sun is too strong outside, just stay in the house." I'll take you to meet some of my fellow disciples later, and maybe you'll meet the old people. ”
Ling Xiao broke free of the big hand with an expressionless face, and sat straight at the back door after bypassing Ke Tianxu, facing the distant view of the bright sun outside.
Ke Tianxu bathed quickly, and after cleaning up, he took Ling Xiao out of the door. The two of them walked down a rocky corridor, and their final destination was not the main hall where they usually had their meetings, but a house hidden among the green trees. The green shade here is everywhere, the environment is quiet, and even the oncoming wind is full of coolness, which is dedicated to summer to escape the heat. It's just that they are busy practicing or doing business on weekdays, so they don't come often.
Ling Xiao followed Ke Tianxu into the house, the two passed through a curtain, she looked up, there were already three people sitting in the room, each standing on a desk, and the desk was full of melons, fruits, snacks and tea. At a glance, her eyes fell on the woman who was close to the window, and she would not forget that it was the woman who attacked her that day, otherwise she would not have ended up in such a situation.
Gu Panman noticed the cold light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and naturally understood what was going on. Not only did she not care, but she painted a smile on her delicate face: "Master Kemen, if you are late, you must be punished for drinking." This beautiful woman of yours looks good, no wonder she hasn't been willing to bring it out for us to see after so long. ”
Xun Yang also raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were deep, he looked at Ling Xiao lightly, hooked his lips and said, "It's good, Brother Ke has found a beauty, which can be regarded as a happy event." ”
Of course, Xun Yang felt that Ke Tianxu was seeking trouble for himself, and he didn't mind helping in this matter when necessary.
Xun Yang listened to the report of his subordinates, the woman in front of him was Yun Hou's favorite daughter, if he knew that his daughter was forcibly possessed, the result could be imagined.
Yun Hou is in a high position, the eldest daughter has just been sealed, and the eldest son is in the hands of the military, and his younger brother is a foreign minister of Donghuan, although he is a foreign minister, but he is in the position of the right prime minister, above 10,000 people. Looking at the entire Dongzhou now, there are several families that can be compared with the Zhongli family.
These things are not only clear to Xun Yang, but also ordinary people are very aware of them. That family is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is their unattainable myth. And Zhong Liyuan's noble status is far better than that of a real princess, but Xun Yang also feels ironic, even if his status is noble, in the end, he is not framed by the opponent, but just a phoenix in distress.
But even if it was a phoenix in distress, Xun Yang still felt that he couldn't be provoked.
