Chapter 22: Bun Hair
What she never expected was that Young Master Sun, who had always been sacrosanct, actually pulled up the sleeves of the new lady.
"Good sister, you can give me a piece to eat, the old master's lecture is really boring, I don't run out, I must sleep in it."
Hearing this, not only Chef Qin, but all the people inside were surprised and their eyes fell to the ground, they couldn't believe that what they saw and heard came from their arrogant Young Master Sun.
"Are you reasonable?" Li Bingru didn't follow, but she thought of something, and smiled slyly, "I don't want to go to class, why don't we go and do the laundry?" โ
"Laundry?" Nangong Xuanming doubted his ears, his eyes moved down, and when he saw the dirty clothes at Li Bingru's feet, he had to believe it.
"yes!" Li Bingru picked up the clothes on the ground with one hand, "Pastries, let's eat together, clothes, let's wash them together, how about it?" You know, this pastry is much better than cucumbers. If it weren't for the fact that you call me sister, I wouldn't have given it to you! โ
"I still think cucumbers are delicious!"
"Uh......"
"But I'm going to eat the pastries too!" Nangong Xuanming said, quickly grabbed a piece of lotus jade dew cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The taste is okay." Let's go, let's go do the laundry! โ
Li Bingru wanted to get angry, but when she heard Nangong Xuanming's last words, she couldn't help laughing.
Forget it, I'm my sister, I don't care about your sin of grabbing food, anyway, you promised to do the laundry.
As soon as they walked out of the kitchen, Xuan Ming turned around and said, "Chef Qin, make all the delicious things for my sister in the future!" โ
"Ah...... Be...... Yes, yes! โ
Chef Qin wiped the sweat from her head tremblingly, while secretly rejoicing, fortunately she didn't act rashly just now, and sighed again: The new lady is really not simple, not only snatched Young Master Sun's pastries, but also asked Young Master Sun to help her wash her clothes, Young Master Sun actually ordered that all the things in the future should be made for her?
No wonder she was able to put on Aya.
No, isn't the new lady from the courtyard of the second young master? Why did Young Master Sun call her sister?
A few maidservants next to her began to whisper again, and Chef Qin immediately took out the posture of a housekeeper.
"Young Master Sun doesn't like other people to talk about things behind their backs, even if Chef Qin and I intercede with you, it depends on whether Young Master Sun is willing to keep you!"
The maidservants were immediately silenced, and silently turned to do their own thing.
"Sister, it's okay to leave the menial work of washing clothes to the subordinates, shall we go play games?"
On the way to the laundry room, Nangong Xuanming pulled Li Bingru's sleeve and suggested it with relish.
"Little kid, you know how to play." Li Bingru glared at Nangong Xuanming dissatisfied, and sighed again, "I'm not the master of the Eight Classics, who can I tell you to do things?" โ
"Isn't there a Helan?"
"Her master is Nangong Yifeng, not me!"
"They...... Bullying you? Xuan Ming stopped.
Li Bingru raised her head slightly, and then looked at Nangong Xuanming with a charming bright smile.
"Who dares to bully me, I'm the beautiful sister of Nangong Xuanming, the most handsome person in Tianlong Castle, don't you say?"
"Well, I'm the most handsome, my sister is the most beautiful, I'm growing up, and I'm going to protect my beautiful sister for the rest of my life!"
Nangong Xuanming patted his chest with one hand and swore a promise.
"Poofโโ, people are big ghosts!" Li Bingru was amused by Nangong Xuanming's appearance.
"Sister......
"Huh?"
"Can I not wear my hair in a bun in the future?"
Li Bingru was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Nangong Xuanming's faint gaze fall on her head, she subconsciously touched her hair, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The long flowing hair can not be touched by the hand, only the back of the head and the top of the head are round and towering, and the hair is coiled in a big bun, and many silk flowers and pearls are inserted in the bun.
She probably knew that in ancient times, the bun of hair meant that she had been married.
The word "woman" made Li Bingru's heart flutter, remembering what Helan said in the morning, she suddenly had some resentment, and there was no way to complain, nominally, she was indeed Liu Xiangxue, who had married Nangong Yifeng.
Without waiting for Li Bingru to answer, Nangong Xuanming pointed to a courtyard in front of him and said, "No, the laundry room has arrived." โ
Entering the laundry room, Nangong Xuanming waved away a few people. Li Bingru threw the dirty clothes into a wooden basin, pointed to a wooden barrel and ordered: "Xuanming, fetch water!" โ
"Me?" Nangong Xuanming stared at Li Bingru with suspicion, "You let me go fetch water?" I am the young master of Tianlong Castle, the largest castle in the world! โ
"But you're a man, too!" Li Bingru made a grievance, "It's you and me here, is it possible to let me, a weak woman, carry such a big bucket of water?" โ
"That's what I said, I said I'm going to protect you!"
Nangong Xuanming nodded seriously, lifted the bucket and walked to the edge of the well. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to the gate and called out majestically, "You, come here!" โ
Li Bingru looked in the direction he was pointing, and a little guy in dark blue clothes was respectfully coming this way.
"Bring a bucket of water to my sister!"
After speaking, Nangong Xuanming ran to Li Bingru again and laughed: "Sister, the water will come soon!" โ
"You're lazy!" Li Bingru glanced at him angrily, "What do you take for laundry?" โ
"Wash with water!" Nangong Xuanming raised his head proudly, with a proud expression of "I'm so smart".
"Of course I know to wash it with water!" Li Bingru gave him a roll of his eyes again, "I mean, is there any laundry detergent, laundry soap and other things, just wash them with water, how do you wash them clean?" โ
"Madame is talking about soaphorns, right?" The little guy called by Nangong Xuanming just happened to carry water and came over.
"Soapcorn?"
"It's a powder made from the fruit of the soaphorn tree, and washerwomen use it to wash their clothes."
"Why don't you get it for my sister yet!!" Nangong Xuanming glared at the water picker.
The little man who carried the water hurriedly took the order and walked away. When he returned, he brought a packet of milky white mixed with some turquoise powder, and placed it on the tip of his nose, and he could faintly smell the greenness of the leaves and the fragrance of soap.
It should be that.
Li Bingru asked the little maid to sprinkle all the soap horns into the wooden basin, and began to rub the two clothes with the water mixed with the soap horns, and they could actually knead out a little foam.
"Sister, this is for you!" Nangong Xuanming found a stick out of nowhere and handed it over.
"Have you ever done your laundry?" Li Bingru couldn't help laughing.
Nangong Xuanming shook his head.
"These are all good clothes, and rubbing them with your hands is the least harmful way to hurt them."
Nangong Xuanming frowned and asked, "Do you often do laundry?" โ
Li Bingru nodded, looked at the clothes soaked in the soap corner, and suddenly missed the past.
"It's all simple chores."
"It should be left to the next people."
Li Bingru looked up at Nangong Xuanming, who looked at her with a look of pity, and laughed silently. She sorted out the few bubbles on the water surface, and while Xuanming was not paying attention, she suddenly wiped them all on his face, and then pointed at his funny face and laughed.
"Haha, the bubble beauty man is born!"
"Phew, so astringent!"
Nangong Xuanming spit out the foam that flowed into his mouth, picked up the water in the wooden basin and sprinkled it on Li Bingru's body, and shouted at the same time: "The bubble beauty girl was born!" โ
In the empty laundry room, only the laughter of the two shouting could be heard for a while.
By the time they returned to their rooms, they were already wet. When Helan saw it, she naturally asked nervously and anxiously, and hurriedly untied Li Bingru's clothes and put on a new set for her.
"Second Young Lady, Second Young Master has been standing in the garden all morning, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"What's wrong with him?" Li Bingru admired the gauze on her body, and said casually, for this pampered man, she couldn't figure out what made him sad.
Helan glanced at Li Bingru strangely, and said in a strange tone: "The second young master didn't eat breakfast." โ
What does it matter to me that he didn't eat breakfast? Li Bingru instinctively wanted to shout out this sentence, and she heard that there was an element of resentment in Helan's tone. However, when she turned around and saw Helan's expression of "it's all because of you", she swallowed that sentence stiffly.
Today's weather is a bit overcast, with the sun hiding behind thick cumulus clouds, adding a layer of darkness to the already gloomy sky. There was no wind, the flowers and foliage were exceptionally quiet, and some of the early-blooming flowers began to show signs of failure, but they still stood proudly on the branches.
Li Bingru couldn't help but think of a poem:
I'd rather hug the branches and die than scatter the branches.
What kind of person is that handsome young man dressed in white?
Nangong Yifeng's figure was surrounded by a group of violets that were about to fall, and those violets tried hard to hug, and the tail of the flower was already showing a withered purple yellow, crumbling on the branches. Li Bingru walked over, bringing a gust of wind, and several unbearable petals fluttered and fell.
"Flowers will eventually defeat ......," Nangong Yifeng muttered.
At that moment, a trace of loneliness crossed Li Bingru's heart.
It's cold.
She hugged her arms, and the thought of Nangong Yifeng standing at the window on the night of marriage came to mind, rendering the bleak scene of the entire night sky.
She couldn't help but persuade: "This decline may be for the next more beautiful bloom." โใ
"Is it for a more beautiful bloom next time?" Nangong Yifeng repeated Li Bingru's words stupidly.
Suddenly, he turned his head, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure.
"You...... When did it come? โ
"I'll be here when you show up here!" Li Bingru blinked mischievously.
"You're stalking me?" Nangong Yifeng narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Hey, you have a little conscience when you speak, can you be reasonable?" Li Bingru jumped up suddenly, "What do you mean by following you, I saw you here alone looking at the flowers and lamenting, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to open it, so I was kind enough to come and take a look, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people!" โ
Nangong Yifeng glanced at Violet, who was about to lose, and turned around and walked away.
Indeed, it is their own vigilance that is too low.
"Hey, Nangong Yifeng-" Li Bingru grabbed Nangong Yifeng's arm and followed his footsteps, "Tell you something!" โ
Nangong Yifeng didn't seem to hear it.
Li Bingru squinted at him and continued, "I want to go home." โ
Since he can't run out, he has to save the cold-faced man in front of him.
Nangong Yifeng paused at his feet, he withdrew his arm, and remained silent.
