Chapter 307: When Spring
Liulan estimated that the water in the pool was about to get cold, so she led a few maidservants to fill hot water in wooden barrels and prepare to send it in.
As soon as I walked outside the bathroom, I was stopped by a swallow.
"What are you doing?"
Liulan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What else can I do, of course, to add hot water to the eldest lady." ”
"No, you don't." Yanzi winked: "It's inconvenient." ”
"What?" Liulan was confused.
"Alright, I'll leave it to me. Wait a minute, I'll add hot water to Madame. The swallow stopped her: "You are also tired all day, go and rest." Look at your eyes, they're still swollen. ”
Liulan stroked her eyes, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Yes, I'm tired." Then bother you. ”
She thought she could hold on, at least not so gaffe in front of others, but in the end she was so embarrassed.
The water in the bath was really a little cold.
Gan Peilin curled up tiredly in Jiang Yu's arms, except for the warmth next to him, there was only the gradual invasion of coolness.
Jiang Yu dragged her to her feet, revealing the water, the wind on the spring night was so cold. Gan Peilin, who was trembling, could feel the upper and lower lip flaps touching.
Jiang Yu picked up a comfortable white cotton silk and wrapped the two of them together.
"Just walk out like that?" Gan Peilin's face burned.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu's tone was obviously much better.
Gan Peilin buried his face in his shoulder the moment the door opened. Even if there were only a few lanterns outside the door that were not very bright, she still felt very embarrassed.
The swallow led a few neat servants to serve, but maintained just the right amount of proportion.
It wasn't until she sent her master and wife back to the wing room that she withdrew from everyone, and she also left the inner courtyard and retreated to guard outside the courtyard gate.
"I'm staring here, you should go back and rest early." When Chen Rui saw her come out, he said this kindly.
But it startled the swallow. "Chen Rui? Why are you here? ”
"Why can't I be here?" Chen Rui was also stunned.
"I mean, aren't you just getting married? Besides, Madame also said that you should go home after dark. Yan Zirao smiled: "Well, I don't need you tonight." Let's go back quickly. Don't let the crispy core wait for you. ”
"Don't ...... tight"
"What doesn't matter. You can't trust me? Swallow quipped: "Are you afraid that I will rob you of your job?" ”
"I'm not ......"
"Alright, let's go." The swallow pushed him out: "You can rest assured that I have this." ”
Chen Rui really couldn't resist her, so he only nodded: "That's tired, I'll go back first." ”
The swallow nodded and watched him leave, but there was something unpleasant in his heart. The crispy core has Chen Rui, and Lu Yao likes Liulan. Even the master and the lady are full tonight.
Why didn't she experience what it was like to be happy......
In the wing, Gan Peilin still felt cold.
Jiang Yu stuffed her into a brocade quilt, blew out the candlelight, and then froze there.
On the bed, Gan Peilin kept his eyes closed, and he didn't wait for Jiang Yu to come over after waiting for a long time.
But she could feel his breath and knew he was still here.
The two of them were so inexplicably deadlocked.
"I'm cold." Gan Peilin's least favorite thing was the atmosphere when Jiang Yu was silent. This kind of silence will make people feel frizzy in their hearts, but they can't tell what it's like.
Jiang Yu hesitated, but still walked to the bedside.
His original intention was to lean over and cover her with the quilt. But at the moment when his hand reached over, Gan Peilin grabbed his wrist and dragged him up.
"Are you shy?" Gan Peilin frowned and looked at the face that was close at hand. "And you're still carrying me back like this?"
"I'm so shy." Jiang Yu's face heated up instantly. "I'm not you."
Through the moonlight that came through, Gan Peilin could clearly see the unnaturalness of his face. Such Jiang Yu seemed to be familiar, and her heart was pounding fast.
Simply wrapped her around the crook of his arm, Jiang Yu's cheeks loved her somewhat cold face.
Her hair was not yet dry, wet with a hint of resistance.
It was also because of this coolness that Jiang Yu regretted it a little. "I'm not ......"
Gan Peilin knew what he was going to say, raised his body slightly, brushed over the still wet hair, and put it on his face.
"How can I sleep like this, you help me dry my hair."
"Okay." Jiang Yu sat up, took a dry silk from the side of the bed, wrapped her hair, and gently wiped the water.
I didn't expect a man who is good at dancing knives and guns to be so careful about doing such things. Jiang Yu's movements were very gentle, and from time to time he would gently knead the acupuncture points on her head.
Gan Peilin was tired and fell asleep after a while.
After a long time, Jiang Yu got out of bed, changed into a dry silk, and wrapped her hair again.
Gan Peilin, who is asleep, looks very sweet and quiet, which makes people feel warm in their hearts when they look at it.
Jiang Yu was a little uneasy in his heart, and he whispered in her ear: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid that I don't know you well enough." ”
That night, he barely closed his eyes, but he didn't feel tired. Guarding someone who will warm your heart is enough to make the whole night extra comfortable.
also stayed awake all night, as well as Xuan Ting.
Ao Su was helped back to the wing room by Ao Yu and Ao Min. Even the wine was poured in by Ao Min holding Ao Xuan's hand and helping to pour it in.
Falling on the bed, Ao Xuan fell asleep deeply, drunk like mud.
No matter how Xuan Ting shook, he didn't have a trace of clear consciousness.
Despite this, he recited two words from time to time: "Peilin".
Xuan Ting thought to herself, Ao Su must really like Gan Peilin in her heart. But she can make him so attentive, but why should she be so ruthless to him?
Let the maid beat the warm water several times. twisted the silk and gently wiped the cold sweat on Ao Xuan's head.
This night, she guarded Ao Su so quietly, and her heart was rare and calm. and did not be wronged because his heart was in someone else's. On the contrary, she always felt that as long as she put more effort into moving him, she would definitely be able to replace the person who took root in his heart.
When Gan Peilin woke up, Jiang Yu was no longer around.
She found that her hair was well wrapped, and it was neatly combed and soft, not messy at all.
"Swallow." Gan Peilin sat up and found a few pieces of silk on the ground, guessing that Jiang Yu must have slept very late last night.
"Madame, you're awake." The swallows are full of spring colors, as gorgeous as flowers on the branches. "The slave has this for you."
"What is this?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be curious, in the turquoise jade bowl, there were some faint reddish decoctions. A smell of medicine came to my face.
"This is ......," the swallow said with some shyness, "It is a good medicine for the fetus." ”
"......" Gan Peilin couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I don't need this." You don't have to prepare it later. ”
"Yes...... But ...... "what else does the swallow want to say?"
Gan Peilin glanced at the maid holding various clothes, frowned, and said, "There will be no need for such a big pomp in the future." On days when you don't go out, you can just prepare one or two sets of ordinary clothes in the house. ”
"Yes, ma'am." The swallow motioned for one of the maidservants, who was dressed in orange, to stay, and sent the rest away.
When the hot water was brought in, when Gan Peilin got out of bed to freshen up, he found that it was still early.
"Jiang Yu went to the court so early?" Gan Peilin was a little strange.
"Early in the morning, the emperor asked people to summon the master to the palace for an audience." Swallow also felt that there was something strange about this. "Maybe it has something to do with the captain. Lu Yao accompanied the master, and the master asked the slave to accompany the lady in the house. ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded: "Eighty percent is related to this matter." ”
After lowering his eyebrows and thinking about it, Gan Peilin asked again: "Is there any news from the harem?" Is Princess Qingning's side safe?"
"Ma'am, sometimes no news is good news." Swallow matched the hairpin for her.
Packed up neatly, breakfast was delivered.
According to Gan Peilin's previous instructions, everything is simple, that is, ordinary cold dishes, a bowl of porridge, and three crystal buns.
Gan Peilin also lost his stomach when he ate it. "This porridge is well-boiled, sticky and delicious, and melts in your mouth. Looks like it should have been going to take a long time. ”
"The eldest lady likes it, so it won't be in vain for the slave to stay up all night." Liulan came in with a smile, holding a plate of fragrant rice balls in her hand. "And this."
"Tangyuan?" Gan Peilin was stunned: "You did it?" ”
"yes." Liulan nodded: "Soak the preferred glutinous rice until soft, then mash it, soak the red beans softly, peel them, and boil them into red bean paste." The glutinous rice balls made in this way are the most delicious, so the eldest lady can taste them. ”
"You...... Didn't sleep all night? Gan Peilin looked at her energetic appearance, and was inexplicably distressed.
"Why, I slept for a while." Liulan smiled and said, "The porridge is boiling on a low fire, and the rice balls are just out of the pot." So the slaves and maidservants slept for more than an hour. ”
"Good. I'll taste it. Gan Peilin didn't say much, took the rice balls and ate them. It's really good, soft and glutinous, and this skin is still a little strong. It's much better than what is sold outside. It's hard for you to bother like that. ”
"It's good if the eldest lady likes it." Liulan thought for a moment and said, "It's just that glutinous rice is not easy to restrain and use, so it's better to use some in the morning." If the eldest lady likes it, the slave will make some cold cakes tomorrow or donkey rolling or something. ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded: "You have an idea, your craftsmanship is good, I like it all." ”
"Then the slave maid go and think about what to prepare for lunch." Liulan bowed happily, and when she turned to go out, the joy on her face was replaced by loss in an instant. She held on to her spirits, not wanting people to know that her heart was scarred.
But she didn't know how long she could hold on like this.
"Madam, Liulan, she ......" Yanzi wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something.
"Don't worry, such a thing can only be digested slowly by herself. Since others can't help, don't uncover her scars. No matter how deep the wound is, there will always be a day when it will heal. Gan Peilin ate another rice ball: "People who are bitter in their hearts may prefer sweets." There is still a glimmer of hope. ”
Yanzi nodded slightly: "The slave understands and will take good care of Miss Liulan." ”
Chen Rui passed through the door at this time: "Madam, Princess Ting and Edon are here." ”
Gan Peilin couldn't help but be stunned: "What are they doing here?" ”
"He said he was going to ask for peace to the Metropolitan Governor." Chen Rui explained.
"The governor of the capital has gone to the court, and he is not in the palace." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let my aunt receive it." Just say I'm tired and haven't gotten up yet. ”
"Yes." Chen Rui retreated.
Gan Peilin got up and walked to the side of the bed and leaned on the bed. "Yanzi, I don't want to see it, you blocked it for me."
"Yes." The swallow nodded, and asked the breakfast to be withdrawn first, and then walked out of the side room and closed the door.
