Chapter 20: The Sword
"Helan...... It's my personal maid ......" Nangong Yifeng opened his mouth hesitantly, and he felt nervous to speak for the first time.
Li Bingru was stunned for a moment, looking at Nangong Yifeng's cold and tangled face, is this blaming her for taking herself too seriously?
"I know that Helan is your maid, so I asked her to boil hot water for you, just let her boil some more by the way. Don't worry, I'll never let your Yahuan do anything again! ”
She bit the words "your Yahuan" very hard, and after speaking, she threw away the Yang Zhi toothbrush in her hand and turned around and left, leaving Nangong Yifeng standing alone in place.
Helan's salute, which was waiting outside, blew past Li Bingru's ears like a gust of wind.
Nangong Yifeng looked at the figure of Li Bingru leaving, and was stunned for a long time.
It's not that he doesn't forbid her to tell Helan to do things, he wants to say that Helan is a person who can be trusted, and she can tell her to do anything in the future, but how can she misunderstand him without waiting for him to finish speaking?
Li Bingru also hated the itchy root of his teeth. Nangong Yifeng, a dangerous creature, obviously doesn't like it, obviously has no heart, but he always comes to tease her.
Those wooden utensils were not ordinary Shen, even if Li Bingru had done some coolies in the past, but bringing these things to the room was also a terrible chore for her.
Passing by a pavilion, she had to sit down, wipe the sweat from her forehead, gasp for breath and rest, and see a nimble figure walking by.
"Hey, you-" Li Bingru couldn't remember his name.
When Jian Jian heard the voice, he turned around and was stunned.
"Do me a favor, help me bring water to my room!" Li Bingru held her waist with one hand and pointed to the bucket with the other.
Nangong Yifeng said that she wouldn't let Helan help her, so she would find this entourage man, the man has a lot of strength, it's not too much to help her carry something, right?
The sword looked at the wooden bucket full of water on the ground with black lines, this is to bathe? And to her room?
"Hey!" Li Bingru looked at Jian Jian in a daze, thinking that he was unwilling, "Anyway, you are a big man, can you bear to see me as a little woman lifting such heavy water?" Besides, no matter what, I'm nominally married to your second young master, right? ”
Jian Jian frowned, and left with the bucket without saying a word. Those heavy wooden barrels in Li Bingru's hands were as easy as picking up a piece of cotton in his hands.
Li Bingru raised the corners of her lips happily, in her impression, Jian Jian has always been a cold person, even more indifferent than Nangong Yifeng, never said more than half a word, and even a peaceful look was stingy, but she didn't expect it to be quite easy to speak.
Jianjian silently finished everything before he said coldly: "Is there anything else you need?" ”
Li Bingru shook her head, Jian Jian didn't call her a young lady respectfully like the others, but she felt another sincerity.
"These things should be left to the people in the courtyard to do."
"I'm the master of this place again." Li Bingru raised her clarifying eyes and gently stated a fact.
Jian Jian turned his face weakly, and the clarity in his eyes seemed to be a question, making him dare not look at each other. In his heart, he didn't admit that she was the second young lady of Tianlong Castle and his master, but the struggling appearance of her weak body carrying a heavy wooden barrel made him feel compassion, and the stubbornness in her bones, as well as the quiet questioning, made him feel ashamed.
There was an embarrassment in the air that made him feel like he couldn't hide. He looked up and around, then said, "Wait for me!" ”
He ran out as fast as he could.
Li Bingru didn't know what he was going to do, so he reached out and tested the water temperature, it was a little hot, so he simply sat down and waited.
After a while, the sword returned, and there was a delicate and elegant little basket in his hand. He was wearing a dark gray tunic with a basket in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, which made people feel very funny and funny, and couldn't help but be curious about the contents of his basket.
Li Bingru opened the door in advance when he walked to the window. Jian Jian just walked to the door, but he didn't enter the door, and directly sent the basket to Li Bingru. Li Bingru saw that the delicate and elegant basket was full of red or pink petals, and she could smell a trace of sweet flowers.
Li Bingru raised her head in a daze, she couldn't believe that this person who had always been extremely cold had just rushed out just to send her these petals?
She couldn't help but think of Shao Haihui again, the boy who seemed to be grinning was actually a considerate and careful person.
It wasn't until there was another knock on the door that Li Bingru came back to her senses in a daze, and at this time she was already comfortably soaking in the warm big bath.
"Second young lady, it's me!"
Helan's voice rang out outside the door.
Li Bingru secretly relieved her heart, she sped up her speed and promised Helan: "I'm taking a bath, wait a minute!" ”
"Let the slaves wait for you!"
"No need."
Li Bingru finished taking a shower, opened the door, and saw Helan standing on the side of the door, there was no trace of impatience on her respectful face, but the moment she looked up, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Less...... Madame......"
"What's wrong?" Li Bingru looked at herself, didn't think there was anything wrong? "Come in first."
Helan Mumu stepped across the door, his eyes never left her Second Young Lady, and then as if he had made a lot of determination, he asked, "Second Young Lady, how do you put it on...... Convinced? ”
"It's a beautiful outfit!" Knowing the reason for Helan's surprise, Li Bingru shook the clothes on her body indifferently, "What a pity not to wear it!" ”
"It's very unlucky to wear a wedding dress after getting married, the second young lady should change it quickly!"
"It's really comfortable to wear, and besides, I don't have anything else to wear." Li Bingru spread out her hands and said that she was also helpless.
She was telling the truth, she opened the cabinet before taking a bath, and there was only a set of wedding clothes and some jewelry that she wore on the day of marriage, and the clothes that Nangong Yifeng gave her on the second day of marriage were thrown in the corner behind the door with Nangong Yifeng's clothes at this time.
"That's why!" Helan smiled sweetly, pointed to the table, and said, "Second Young Madam, look, what is that?" ”
"What?"
Li Bingru looked in the direction pointed by Helan, there was an extra wooden tray on the mahogany carved round table, and two pink and purple sari were neatly stacked in the tray.
"It's ...... For me? ”
"It's for the second young lady!"
Helan picked up the smoky clothes and tried them on Li Bingru, her face was full of joy, "It's very suitable for the second young lady, the second young lady must look good when she wears it!" ”
"Is this really for me?" Li Bingru couldn't believe it.
"It's for the second young lady, it's for the second young master himself, and he wants to give it to the second young lady." Helan put down the Yanxia shirt in her hand and went to relieve the red dazzling wedding dress on Li Bingru's body, "The slave maid is waiting for the second young lady to change her clothes!" ”
After receiving two confirmations from Helan, Li Bingru happily accepted it, she really liked this set of clothes.
The bright morning glow is like clouds piled up and scattered, wandering in the clear white sky, the gilded wide coat is delicately embroidered with floating clouds, and it is the golden phoenix that spreads its wings and soars between the floating clouds, and matches the same wide waist of the same color.
The auspicious clouds float and bloom, the golden phoenix dances and soars, and the morning glow sets off each other, and the indescribable wealth and luxury, blanching and slenderness.
Li Bingru was already slender, and as soon as she wore this dress, she felt that her slender waist was like a weak willow supporting the wind, and her wide cloud water sleeves were gently raised, showing the arrogance of Jin Feng.
At this moment, Helan had an illusion in a trance, and the person in front of her was the domineering and arrogant golden phoenix on the placket.
Immediately, she shook her head again, shaking away the ridiculous thoughts in her mind.
"The second young lady looks so good in this suit, there is no better fit for this suit than the second young lady in the world!"
Helan picked up the comb while admiring, "The slave maid combs the second young lady in a bun worthy of this set of clothes, and keeps the second young lady to become the first beauty in the world!" ”
"Really?" Li Bingru was skeptical, "Can you compare to Yu Rou?" ”
He Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and while seriously pursing her hair in a bun, she replied: "The second young lady and the eldest young lady have their own merits!" ”
Li Bingru couldn't hide the joy in her heart, of course she wasn't because Helan said that she could be compared with the young lady, in fact, in her heart, she would never be as good as one-tenth of the young lady, what she was happy about was the set of clothes she wore on her body, although the sleeves were a little longer, but this was a new set of clothes that only belonged to her, yes, it was a new clothes, completely new clothes, and it was the ancient costume style that she had always envied.
Suddenly, Li Bingru remembered something, got up and ran out of the door.
"Second Young Lady-" Helan stood stunned with a comb, and before she could ask, Li Bingru's figure had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Li Bingru ran to the backyard in one breath and stopped in front of the shabby door.
"Li Yuchen?" She shouted and knocked on the door.
The only answer to her was her own reply.
You won't fall asleep, will you?
Li Bingru gently pushed open the wooden door worriedly, and shouted again: "Li Yuchen? ”
A ray of light gradually illuminated the dimly lit room, and the moment she saw the whole room, she felt something fly out of her heart at once.
There were some sundries piled up on the floor, Li Bingru stepped over cautiously, and slowly squatted down in the position where she squatted down yesterday. Everything is exactly the same as yesterday, except that the figure that used to lie here is no longer there.
He's gone.
The mess obscured all traces of his visit, and even the musty air repeated the same message: everything was nothing more than her hallucination.
He left, and left without saying hello. Like a gust of wind, it came so suddenly, and it went so quietly.
"Guy with no conscience!" Li Bingru complained as she walked back, "How can you just disappear like this?" ”
The only thing that answered Li Bingru was the "whine" sound made by the wind blowing the catkins.
Li Bingru sighed, I don't know what happened to that guy's injury, yesterday I was still lying on the ground and dying, but today I can disappear without a sound, it's probably okay, right?
"Where did the second young lady go, she was in a hurry to die as a slave!"
When Helan saw Li Bingru, she hurriedly greeted her.
"It's all right!"
Li Bingru smiled reluctantly, as soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Nangong Yifeng sitting on the seat and drinking tea leisurely.
He had changed into a purple and black tunic robe, his hair was tied with a blood jade crown with gold threads, his narrow eyes were half-narrowed, his expression was cold, and his demeanor exuded a terrifying domineering spirit and a sharp wind that looked down on everything.
