Chapter 380: Who Bullies Whom
Hot water into the basin, mixed with well water, probe hands, normal temperature.
"Which princess have you chosen?"
He dipped the handkerchief in warm water, wrung it out without hurry, and looked up to see her staring intently at his hand, forcibly suppressing the movements of the corners of her lips, with a hypocritical calm look.
He couldn't help but smile, walked up to her with a handkerchief, lightly covered her forehead, and wiped it down.
Lin Jiaruo, who was obscured from sight, snorted softly uncomfortably, and then heard his low voice coming through the hazy white: "Lin Jiaruo! β
She subconsciously responded.
The veil slid over her eyelids and slid to the corners of her eyes, and the corners of his slightly hooked lips came into view, and she suddenly woke up, and her face instantly turned red.
He chuckled lowly, his eyes deep and lingering.
Lin Jiaruo slapped him angrily and muttered, "Won't you be subtle and euphemistic?" β
The handkerchief rubbed softly around her lips, and he responded kindly: "Okay, be tactful next time." β
"Isn't it okay for you to say that?" She began to be hypocritical again.
His gaze fell intently on her face, and he said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, that's what I said to Your Majestyβ"
"What did you say to my dad!" Lin Jiaruo jumped up in fright.
He smiled and pressed her back to the stool, and said unhurriedly: "I said that I already have someone I like, but the parents of the girl haven't agreed yet." β
"What did my dad say?" She asked in fear.
He re-twisted his veil and walked towards her, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asks, do you want him to help?" β
Although it was a bit unusual, Lin Jiaruo really wanted to laugh.
"I said no, I still have to do this kind of thing by myself, Your Majesty also praised me for my sincerity, I wish I will be caught!" He laughs.
Lin Jiaruo laughed, immediately endured it, and hit him again in annoyance.
He smiled and grabbed her hand, rubbed it carefully through the handkerchief, and looked at her with bright eyes.
"Tut-tut!"
Lin Jiaruo was shocked and hurriedly retracted his hand.
Why was someone bumped into you as soon as you shook hands today?
Lin Zhizhi unhurriedly took her other hand and lowered her head to wipe it.
"Ah Ruo is really a princess now, and she has to be served everywhere!" Gan Mingcong leaned against the door frame and shook his head teasingly.
Lin Jiaruo blushed and bowed her head silently.
Lin Zhizhi glanced at him lightly, threw the handkerchief back into the basin, and asked, "Could it be that there was no one to serve her in Yuhang before?" β
"Yes, yes!" Gan Mingcong walked in with a grin, "We are such delicate people as Sister Aruo, of course, we have to serve well from childhood to adulthood!" So saying, he obediently went out with the basin in his hand.
Lin Zhizhi called out to him: "Tomorrow morning, I am going to visit the teachers of the academy, you stay with Ah Ruo, and after she gets up, go to the courtyard of the Cheng family to get hot water!" β
"Yes, yes! I'll take care of Princess Arro's freshening! Gan Mingcong agreed.
But the next day, it was not Gan Mingcong who brought the hot water.
Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Jiaruo hurriedly got up in his clothes, opened the door, and saw Jiang Ziliu standing at the door with hot water, his eyes were blue.
When he saw her, Jiang Ziliu was obviously stunned.
"Put the hot water here, thank you!" Lin Jiaruo made his debut sideways for him.
Jiang Ziliu was stunned and didn't move, staring at her with a pair of eyes, until she looked at her suspiciously, then swallowed her saliva and lifted the hot water in.
After putting down the hot water, he walked out briskly with his head down.
Lin Jiaruo sent him to the door and glanced next door, why did someone come in the courtyard, and Gan Mingcong didn't move at all? That's too bad alertness, isn't it?
Just as he was about to enter the house, Jiang Ziliu turned back again, glanced at her, moved his gaze to the side, and said: "I see that you are also a person who has read books, you should cherish yourself, and advise you to stay away from Lin Zhi in the future, don't harm others and yourself......"
Lin Jiaruo was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Last night, Jiang Ziliu also came to deliver hot water, and it happened that she and her eldest brother were talking by the well, and this person dropped the bucket and fled, causing half of the water to be spilled.
Jiang Ziliu glared angrily, and his voice became a little louder: "Don't you understand what I mean?" Although Lin Zhizhi is a little utilitarian, he can also do some practical things, you will hurt him like this, do you know! β
Lin Jiaruo looked at him stupidly, completely unaware of what he was talking about.
Jiang Ziliu saw that she didn't speak, but felt that she was still unrepentant, and said more righteously: "You are a good man, it's not your fault that boys and girls look good, but can't you be a little shameful?" You-"
"Senior Brother Jiang!" There was a soft, cold sound at the door.
Jiang Ziliu froze instantly.
Lin Jiaruo looked up, Cheng Zhao was standing at the door, the morning light was softly spread on her inky green silk, her face was quiet and graceful, and she was beautiful everywhere.
"Miss Cheng." Lin Jiaruo greeted her, touched her loose hair, and smiled embarrassedly.
Cheng Zhao approached, blocked Lin Jiaruo behind him, and said with a light face: "Senior Brother Jiang is really polite to talk to a little girl like this!" β
Jiang Ziliu was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Jiaruo, and suddenly turned into a face full of horror: "You, you are a woman!" β
Lin Jiaruo nodded and couldn't help but sigh.
Senior Brother Cheng saw through it at a glance, why was she so obvious, and Jiang Ziliu didn't see it? Could it be that she is not a woman?
Jiang Ziliu's face changed back and forth, and in the end, he was filled with righteous indignation: "Lin Zhizhi, this negative man!" Is it because of you that you have failed Ah Zhao! β
Lin Jiaruo stayed again, this, this question ......
"Senior Brother Jiang is cautious!" Cheng Zhao couldn't help but change his face, "First, I am innocent with Brother Lin, how can I live up to it?" Second-" She leaned sideways slightly, letting out Lin Jiaruo's curious and innocent little face.
"This is Miss Lin, the youngest sister of Senior Brother Lin's family!" Cheng Zhao looked at Jiang Ziliu coldly, "Senior Brother Jiang bullying an innocent little girl like this, it's really cold!" β
Actually, it's not that serious......
Lin Jiaruo was thinking about whether to help Jiang Ziliu say a few good words-
"Who bullies whom?"
After a vague question, Gan Mingcong walked in from outside the door, carrying a basket of buns in his left hand and a bitten one in his right hand, looked inside, and said in surprise: "I just walked away for a while, why did you wake up?" Why so many people? What happened? β
His eyes swept around, locked on Jiang Ziliu's body, and sneered: "Did you take advantage of my absence to bully Ah Ruo?" β
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he kicked the person out with a flying kick, walked around the process to Lin Jiaruo, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Hungry or not? As he spoke, he handed out a bun - oh, this one has been eaten, and another one has been eaten.
Lin Jiaruo waved his hand and said, "I haven't washed yetβ"
"Then I'll wait for you to wash up!" As he spoke, he pushed Lin Jiaruo to walk in with great interest.
"General Gan!" Cheng Zhao, who was completely ignored, had no choice but to speak on his own.
Gan Mingcong turned around in surprise and asked, "Miss Cheng, why haven't you left yet?" β
That's a good question...... Lin Jiaruo pulled his sleeve awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng came so early, is there something wrong?" β
Cheng Zhao's face was solemn, and he saluted, saying: "Cheng Zhao is not talented, I am willing to follow General Gan to Daizhou, guard the border, and if there is a sending, I will not give up!" β
