Chapter 32: Floristry
Li Zi'an rested on the bed for a while, and he didn't want to cultivate a relationship with Shangguan Wanbai in an environment full of the smell of disinfectant water, which was inevitably too disturbing.
In the afternoon, he returned to the villa from the hospital.
The villa was empty, there was no popularity at all, Li Zi'an couldn't find Shangguan Wanbai, only to see Vivian standing on the side, her face full of helplessness.
"Mr. Li, it was Mrs. Zhuang Su who drove his wife away."
Li Zi'an frowned and asked impatiently, "Where did they go?" ”
"Asakura."
This is the first time Shangguan Wanbai came to the Qianpu Li Mansion, she just got off the car, followed the guidance of the housekeeper, and walked around the rockery woods, as if she was in the royal garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was completely a big family style that had been ingrained for many years.
The living room is also decorated with classical decoration, a plain white bottle on the coffee table is obliquely inserted into a piece of plum, and the bee-colored flowers reveal a faint fragrance, Shangguan Wanbai looked at it in a daze for a while, and looked at Shangzhuang Su's dark eyes.
She swallowed, "Mrs. Zhuang Su, how are you going to teach me the rules?" ”
Zhuang Su glanced at the maid beside him, "Take it." ”
Two figures flashed in the openwork pane, and Shangguan Wanbai looked over intently and saw five maids holding flowers in their hands.
The flowers were still stained with dewdrops, and they must have been freshly picked.
Zhuang Su raised his hand, and the flowers were placed around the two of them, as if they were falling into an infinite sea of flowers.
I don't know why, Shangguan Wanbai saw so many servants in the Li Mansion, but he still felt that there was an eerie cold air in the house, and there was no human touch at all.
Li Zi'an grew up in such a high-pressure and indifferent environment, and he couldn't even feel the warmth of interpersonal relationships, which must have been painful.
Shangguan Wanbai lowered her eyes, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Zhuang Su glanced at her and sneered: "Before you start, you feel unbearable?" ”
"No, I don't know what Madame told me to do."
Zhuang Su glanced her up and down, his eyes disdainful, "Look at your stupid appearance, let's start with the simplest first." ”
Two antique vases were put up, and Shangguan Wanbai reacted quickly, this is Zhuang Su wants to teach her to learn flower arrangement.
She asked suspiciously: "Is it possible to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and learn to arrange flowers?" ”
Zhuang Su reproached, "You really don't know anything about the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, flower arrangement is the most basic job in the circle, you see which lady around us is beautiful, and he doesn't even know this thing." ”
She picked up a few flowers, cut them twice with scissors, and inserted them into a vase, the sky full of stars and white roses matched, as if there were white stars falling on the roses, and a white ribbon was tied to the mouth of the Erlenmeyer bottle, full of romantic mood.
Shangguan Wanbai only felt a headache, she didn't know anything about the art of flower arrangement, these ladies were really good at tossing.
Zhuang Su just wanted to let her not even have a chance to start, and snorted coldly: "If you can't learn, I will take you out to socialize in the future, but it will be a shame for our family." ”
Shangguan Wanbai held back the dissatisfaction in his heart, took a white porcelain bottle, selected small daisies, black cumin grass and gold balls, dotted them at will, and inserted them into the bottle, intertwined with light green and golden, adding a bit of lively color to the coffee table.
She cautiously pushed the vase over, "Madame, what do you think?" ”
Zhuang Suden froze, and this level was much stronger than when she was back.
Facing Shangguan Wanbai's expectant eyes, of course she would not let her go.
"It's really average, and it can't be matched on the table."
Shangguan Wanbai's eyes darkened, Zhuang Su really asked her to come over to make things difficult.
Zhuang Su's face was indifferent, and he poured the vase clean, "Only a flower like a rose can be placed on the table." ”
She tilted her gaze and motioned for her to pick up the bright red bouquet of roses.
Shangguan Wanbai had no choice but to do so, but as soon as his hand reached into the bouquet, a tingling sensation came from his fingertips.
She hurriedly withdrew her hand and looked at it, and her white and tender fingers showed a drop of blood, which had a strange beauty and was shocking.
"The Thorn ...... of the Rose"
Zhuang Su didn't wait for her to finish, then sneered: "You are inevitably too squeamish, like a porcelain doll, what is it to have some blood, this makes you feel sorry for yourself." ”
The maid handed over a white towel, and Shangguan Wan lowered her eyes stupidly and wiped the blood beads from her fingertips.
Zhuang Su seemed to have found a good way to torture her, ignoring all other flowers and plants, and only letting her touch those roses and roses, so that her hands were scratched.
Shangguan Wanbai stiffened her head and grabbed the thorny flower branches, and at the end of the day, she didn't learn the art of flower arrangement, but the white towel next to her was stained with blood.
In the evening, Zhuang Su saw that the time was almost up, and glanced at her fingers curled up in pain, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Forget it, that's the end of today, you can go home."
Shangguan Wanbai picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and said goodbye.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Zi'an poured a glass of red wine and looked out the window at the vast night.
The villa is located in the suburbs, backed by mountains and waters, and can only see a little starlight in the woods, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, what is going on with Zhuang Su, and Wan Bai will not come back at this time.
A crack opened at the door, and Shangguan Wanbai entered the room, his face full of exhaustion, and his body was about to fall apart.
Li Zi'an raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing in Qianpu?" ”
Shangguan Wanbai was weak when she spoke, "It's nothing, your mother taught me to learn the rules and how to serve my mother-in-law and husband." ”
Zhuang Su's methods, Li Zi'an knew, when she passed by, he took her hand and dragged her into his arms.
Shangguan Wanbai was taken aback, "Have you been discharged from the hospital, is it possible that the injury will heal so quickly?" ”
"A little problem," he said, kissing her earlobe, his voice muffled, "it won't take much time." ”
Shangguan Wanbai rarely did not resist, a shallow smile appeared on Li Zi'an's lips, and he touched her plain white arm, wanting to clasp her ten fingers, but heard the hissing pain between her teeth.
His eyes sank, and he spread out her palms under the light, the lines of his palms were intertwined, and there were many subtle scars.
Shangguan Wanbai retracted her hand embarrassedly, "It's okay, Mrs. Zhuang Su said that the daughters-in-law of wealthy families in the circle have to learn flower arrangement, so she asked me to learn a little too." ”
Li Zi'an immediately questioned: "What kind of flower, would toss your hands like this?" ”
"It's the ...... of roses"
Li Zi'an reacted, it must be that Mrs. Zhuang Su deliberately used a small trick to torture Shangguan Wanbai.
His voice was cold, and he couldn't be disobeyed, "As my wife, you don't need to learn these tricks, just stay at home obediently." ”
"But......" she could not help but be apprehensive, "but Madame said that I was really ......."
Li Zi'an interrupted her impatiently, "You are my wife, not her wife, everything is with me, you don't need to learn these things." ”
