The quiet room smells of agarwood.

The fragrance is even richer than the cup of tea in the hand of the bamboo curtain.

It's refreshing, but also a little intoxicating.

The bamboo curtain was not intoxicated.

She's just nervous.

She was so nervous that she took every step hard.

Because she can only make her trembling hands calm down by making her feet hard.

So it was smooth.

Green smoke curls.

She walked to the door of the dormitory.

......

......

The county lord was not coughing.

He used to cough, but he was a strong man, so whenever someone approached his house, he would stop coughing.

The bamboo curtain stood outside and did not speak for a long time.

"Who are you?"

The plain voice of the county lord came from the house, and it was a familiar voice of the bamboo curtain. It's both familiar and a little unfamiliar.

The bamboo curtain said calmly, "I am the bamboo curtain. ”

The county lord smiled, "I know, you are Tao Yuwen's personal maid." ”

The bamboo curtain lowered her head, "The old lady is not feeling well today, so let me come over to deliver tea." ”

The county lord said, "Over the years, no matter what her health is, she has personally come to bring me tea. ”

Bamboo curtain bowed her head and said, "But today she has a terrible headache." ”

There was silence in the air for a moment, and the county lord suddenly said, "I also have a headache. ”

The bamboo curtain didn't say anything, she actually had a headache too.

This kind of conversation with one's own biological father, no matter who it is, will be a headache.

She was calm and unbreakable in front of the Demon Lord and the Demon General, and even Ying Tanxi, and it was even a little difficult to play in front of the County Lord.

She gently handed the cup of tea up.

The aroma of the tea should be overflowing, but it is somewhat astringent at this time.

I don't know if it's because of the tension in the air.

The door of the lord's house opened.

He walked out peacefully.

Wearing a fat robe.

His face is ordinary, like the bamboo curtain, not good-looking, but not ugly, but it has a unique and attractive charm.

He was like a rich businessman, but he was also the best rich businessman in the world.

His hand caught the cup of tea steadily.

He looked at the bamboo curtain and didn't speak for a long time.

The bamboo curtain is not a cotton coat, and it should be very cold in this winter.

But the cold at this time couldn't stop the sweat from coming out of her body.

The county lord asked calmly, "You seem to be nervous?"

The bamboo curtain did not bow her head this time, but raised her head, the more she bowed her head, the more suspicious the county lord became, so she had to let him see her eyes, she had to let her see the clarity in her eyes.

But her eyes weren't clear at this time.

The county lord looked at her calmly, not knowing if he had seen through her acting skills.

Fortunately, there should be none.

Then she lowered her head again, showing the posture of a maid.

The county lord smiled, "You are a very courageous maid. ”

The bamboo curtain is puzzled.

The county lord explained, "Many maids were nervous and speechless when they first saw me. ”

The bamboo curtain was silent, just silent.

Her attention was on the cup of flower tea.

——

Letting the county lord drink that cup of tea is her ultimate goal.

She whispered, "Maybe it's because I get along with the old lady a lot, so I'm naturally bolder." ”

The county lord looked at her and smiled, "You are very much like a person. ”

Bamboo curtain lowered his head and asked, "Who is it?"

The county lord pondered and said, "Ying Tanxi." ”

The head of the bamboo curtain was buried deeper, and she said in a trembling voice, "She's a princess, and I'm just a maid." ”

The county lord added, "The maid who is most like a princess." ”

The head of the bamboo curtain was buried, so I couldn't see the joy and anger on her face.

But the county lord knew that she was probably very happy at this time.

There should be a smile on the face.

It's a pity that she should have buried this smile in her heart instead of revealing it on her face.

He sighed and added, "It's just a pity that you're not as good as her." ”

The bamboo curtain was stunned.

You're not as good as her.

The incomprehension and anger in her eyes is known only to herself, because she has been hiding it for more than ten years, and she is very good at hiding this emotion.

The county lord looked at her figure and said coldly, "I know that most of you who are maids have a heart to be a princess, but your heart is very high, but your life is very thin. You are indeed inferior to her. ”

The bamboo curtain asked calmly, "What's better?"

The county lord looked at the bowl of flower tea in his hand, the heat of the tea had gradually disappeared, but it was still very fragrant.

The county lord said slowly, "She won't make tea." ”

The bamboo curtain didn't know what this sentence meant, and racked his brains to think for a moment.

Then she finally came up with an answer that would satisfy her.

"But I'm a maid, not a princess, so I have to make this bowl of tea. ”

......

Her words were calm.

The unwillingness contained in it is only known to oneself.

She didn't know what it was all about.

If the child who was left as a tool by the old lady more than ten years ago was Ying Tanxi, then does she also have the life of a princess now?

Being a maid for more than ten years and being a princess for more than ten years is the essential difference.

She can't take off her mask, what about the princess's mask?

Naturally, she couldn't take it off.

......

......

The county lord was silent for a long time, and then suddenly he really smiled.

"But you can choose to change the cup of tea, and then things may be different." ”

Bamboo Curtain's face stiffened.

Because she knew what was in this cup of tea.

I don't know if the county lord's words were intentional, but it made her cold sweat unstoppable.

She didn't know how to answer.

Then she thought of Tao Yuwen.

This is the most pertinent answer, and the most convincing one.

She whispered, "This is the old lady's order, I just acted on orders." ”

The county lord looked at her and didn't look up for a long time.

The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had something else to say.

But he didn't say it, and the words froze to death like snow outside the window.

I can't say it anymore.

His face looked much better and more relaxed, and he was no longer embarrassed by the bamboo curtain.

He said calmly, "Raise your head." ”

The bamboo curtain raised its head again, revealing the delicate makeup on that face.

The county lord stared at her face for a long time.

It seems to be carefully appreciating.

He didn't know that the person in front of him was his daughter, so he probably wouldn't be like this.

He didn't speak, and steadily picked up the teacup in his hand.

The bamboo curtain looked at the tea that was no longer steaming, and his nervous voice was trembling, "This tea is cold." ”

The county lord brought the tea to his lips and took a heavy sip.

"I like herbal tea," he says. ”

The bamboo curtain lowered his head and did not speak again.

The county lord suddenly waved his hand, and there were two doors beside him, and out of one of them came a servant with a plate in his hand, and on that tray there was a piece of gold.

The county lord said, "I appreciate you, so I want to reward you." ”

The bamboo curtain knelt down again, and his tone was completely calm, "Thank you, Lord County." ”

......

......

That cup of tea was completely cold.

The county lord returned to the house and began to cough again.

The sound of coughing was like thunder after rain, a little weak, but still terrifying.

The bamboo curtain didn't know how he left the dormitory.

But she knew she would never do that again.

The cold sweat finally hardened as the clothes were frozen by the cold wind.

She walked as if she didn't know anything, and only the echo of those four words echoed in her ears.

"You're not as good as her. ”

Why not?

The bamboo curtain thought so.

Maybe it's really not as good.

The corners of her eyes flashed with murderous intent, a killing intent that she had never seen before.

She's going to ruin everything for her.

Isn't it better?

Maybe that's the time for that.

......

......

She returned to Tao Yuwen's house.

There was no movement other than the smell of incense.

She hasn't come back yet.

Where will she go in such a winter?
