Chapter 42: Duo and Jingluo
readx;“ Hey, whose voice is this, it sounds ......" Ji Lin was in a trance for a moment, and looked around again, but he didn't find half a figure. He turned his gaze back to Duo and asked www.biquge.info "Are you talking?"
"Who else but the others?" said the owner of the voice with a mischievous laugh.
Then the priest turned into a cloud of blue light and descended to the earth. The light group turned into a person, a petite and delicate girl.
The girl looks like she is in the prime of her cardamom years, and she looks so cute that people can't wait to pinch her face. The long jade-colored hair was combed into a double bun, and a few strands of short hair hung down slightly on the forehead. On her white jade-like little round face, there is a pair of naughty and clever big eyes embedded under the curved crescent eyebrows, the golden green eyes reveal the naughty and lively girl, the small Yao nose lower lip is red and white, and the corners of the mouth are full of Lang Ran's smile;
For a while, Ji Lin was stupid. The only woman he had seen in front of him before was his sister, a handsome woman with a heroic spirit. For the first time, he saw a "real" girl, even if it was just a little girl who wasn't as big as himself.
"Why does the big brother keep staring at people?" the girl jumped in front of Ji Lin curiously, blinking her big eyes.
"Because you're good-looking. Ji Lin half-squatted down to look at her and blurted out.
In feudal society, women are really rare to see on the street. No one will let the little girl wander the streets, the maiden to be married will stay in the boudoir, the married woman will stay in the husband to serve the husband, and the woman will take care of the children at home. So it can be seen that it is normal for Ji Lin to not see a woman outside.
"People are good-looking. The little girl accepted it calmly, not shy.
"That little girl, dare to ask Fang's name?" Ji Lin himself didn't expect that he was talking to a girl who was quite familiar, and there was no unnaturalness at all. Could it be that he was a merry man in his previous life?
"The little woman Jingluo is polite. This seemingly naughty little girl actually saluted him seriously.
"Jingluo, it's really a beautiful woman with a beautiful name, it's wonderful!" Ji Lin smiled and admired.
"By the way, is the eldest brother the new owner of this room?" Jingluo seemed to suddenly remember a big event, and his expression became serious.
"Yes, we're going to live under the same roof from now on. ”
"Well, since the eldest brother has become the owner of this house, then Jingluo is the eldest brother's maid. Oh, I can't call him big brother anymore, I have to call me master. Jing Luo's thinking look was also very cute, and she pointed her index finger on her lips, I don't know if she was talking to Ji Lin or to herself.
"Haha, what can you do as a little girl?" When he heard Jingluo actually say that she was his maid, Ji Lin laughed dumbly.
"Master, don't underestimate Jingluo, Jingluo is in the hall, can go down to the kitchen, can do laundry, make tea, and warm the bed for the master!" Jingluo confidently straightened his undeveloped chest and raised his head.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Ji Lin suddenly coughed violently, and looked at this little girl with shocked eyes: Does she know what she is talking about?
"Alas, why did the master cough? Did he catch a cold?" Jingluo was really like a maid, and patted Ji Lin on the back worriedly.
Ji Lin almost choked on tears, and finally recovered. While enjoying Jingluo patting herself on the back, Ji Lin said to her with a smile and crying: "Jingluo, do you know that the word 'warm bed' can't be said nonsense?"
"But these things are usually done by ordinary maids!" the little girl disagreed with his words.
"Ahem, I don't like to sleep in a warm bed. Ji Lin was afraid that the little girl would be unhappy, so he didn't say anything like he didn't need, but just said it euphemistically.
"By the way, the master should need to wash now, right? ”
It wasn't until Jingluo talked about it that Ji Lin remembered his original purpose. But when he heard Jingluo say this, he smiled bitterly: Are you so dirty?
He raised his two arms and sniffed each other, and lowered his head: "Alas, it seems that it is indeed time to wash." ”
Don't look at Jingluo Xiao, she can be regarded as quick in doing things, and after a while, she appeared in front of Ji Lin again.
"Come on, master. ”
Once in the backyard, Jingluo led him to a small stone crypt-like pool by the side of the stream. The water inside was black, looking like ink, with a faint white mist on it, but it didn't look like it had risen from the water.
"Okay, master, go down and wash it, or the water won't be cold." Jingluo urged.
The habits of the Netherworld are really strange, Ji Lin thought to himself. So he reached out to untie his belt, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and Jingluo was staring at him with blinking eyes.
"Why are you still here?"
"Doesn't the master want to take a bath, Jingluo rubs the master's back. ”
Looking at Jingluo's eyes, Ji Lin kept his hand ready to untie his belt and was silent. If he wasn't Qingming now, his face would be red to his neck.
"Go, go, go out and look at the house! I'm embarrassed to wash you standing here. After being stunned for a while, Ji Lin reacted and wanted to send her out.
Fortunately, Ji Lin said it bluntly and clearly, Jingluo didn't stubbornly stay here, so he had to bow down and say: "Then Jingluo will go out first, and the master will shout Jingluo when he needs to rub his back." Then he turned and left.
"This girl is quite interesting. It turns out that real girls are like this, it's okay, it's okay, if all the women in the world are like the old sister...... Alas, I don't know if my sister can find a son-in-law for her father, hanging!"
As he was talking to himself, he had already stripped himself of his stripes, and jumped into the "ink" with a splash of water that spread all around. Soaking in this strange bath water, Ji Lin gasped happily, simply soaked his head down in the water, and from time to time stuck his head into the water to hold his breath for a while.
"It's cool, it looks like this is a nice place!"
"Ink" seems to have magical power, and it only takes a moment to make him refreshed and pampered and forgotten. All kinds of doubts that came here inexplicably were thrown out of the sky by him.
The water gradually became clearer and the water temperature slowly increased. After about a quarter of an hour, the water is no different from ordinary water, and it also becomes room temperature.
"Wow-" At that moment, the door opened. Ji Lin was taken aback, turned around and stretched out his head to see that Jingluo was walking over with a small stack of clothes inside. I thought to myself that I was in the water anyway, and I wasn't as nervous as I was just now.
"Jingluo, how old are you?" he turned around and lay on the edge of the bath, looking up at her, ** hair constantly dripping down.
"Hee-hee, this is a secret! The master only needs to know, Jingluo is still very young now. Jingluo squatted down and put the clothes in Ji Lin's hand, smiled, and did not answer his question directly.
"Offended. I'm just asking. You go over first, and if you dare to peek, you can pinch your face!" Ji Lin grinned and made a "pinch" movement with his hand. Jingluo fled in the wilderness.
"Hey, it seems like I'm at a loss. Such an idea suddenly popped up in Ji Lin's mind, which startled him, and he seemed to be inexplicably frivolous. Too lazy to think about it so much, he got up, dressed his pants three times and divided them by two, laced up his shoes, and pushed the door out.
"The master is so fast, so now sit down obediently and let Jingluo dress up for the master. With a wooden comb in her hand, Jingluo ran behind him with a smile and pushed him to the bronze mirror and beckoned him to sit down.
"It feels a little awkward, Jingluo, do the young men of Qingming have to be like this?" Fortunately, Ji Lin didn't know much about women before - his sister usually went in and out without makeup, and Ji Xiu's appearance was originally very handsome, and she was gorgeous without embellishment - he had never seen a woman dress up for her maids, if he was used to it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to accept.
"Of course. But in fact, I didn't dress up much, not as troublesome as the waitress, as long as I combed my hair. The owner is from a distant southern city, and he may not be very adaptable, so he can get used to it slowly. Jingluo combed her hair very gently, and Ji Lin almost didn't feel a comb shuttling between her hair.
"Hmm. Jingluo, you're not a Qingming, are you?"
The comb slammed, then went down again. I only heard Jingluo say in the back: "Qingming's status is noble, how can he be someone else's maid?" Jingluo is a spirit clan, and her body is Duo, so the master should have seen it." ”
Listening to Jingluo's tone was a little depressed, Ji Lin cast an apologetic look at Jingluo's mirror image, but asked, "Why, so reluctant to be my maid?
"It's not like that! It's just ...... Jingluo's compatriots may not have such a good life. Jingluo was a little disappointed, but before Ji Lin could comfort her, she got up by herself, "It's good to follow the master, the master is the first laughing Qingming master Jingluo has ever seen." ”
"People...... The ancients said: 'The underworld (human) must be happy in life', and if the underworld is alive, it is still necessary to smile and express its feelings. Ji Lin was expressing some of his "big truths" about being fed up, and he also wantonly tampered with some good sentences that Duan Tianhan told him.
"Hee-hee, the master knows a lot!"
"That's it, Brother Hanfei, I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and I know astronomy and geography, of course I know a lot!" In order to show off to the little girl, Ji Lin actually began to talk about the sea and blow.
When he was in Tianyun Mountain, he did read some books, but almost all of them were some Mo family collections and some novels and stories about Mo people, all of which Ji Xiu brought back to him from the mountain for fear that he would be bored. There may be poems and books, but they are not enough for him to "read to his heart's content", let alone "know astronomy and geography".
But Jingluo is a little girl after all, and she really believes his nonsense, and her big golden eyes are shining and admired.
"Then the master will teach Jingluo to study!" she suddenly came to Ji Lin and looked at him with a wistful expression, "Okay?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to read it. Reading is not good without a good patience. Faced with this situation, Ji Lin decisively found a reason to prevaricate, and instantly changed the topic, "Okay, let's hurry up, we can't make the old man wait for a long time." ”
After some dressing, Ji Lin changed his previous appearance of coarse cloth and short brown flute head green, and was reborn - the headdress jade crown is not tied with hair, lined with black satin wide-sleeved robe, and the outside is covered with a black background with blue pattern gluttony, waist green jade, with a short sword, and a green pattern dragon on his feet. has more than enough and the waves are unabated, and he looks like a suave son, but he is younger.
"Ha, it's worthy of my family Jingluo, even I can't recognize myself!" Ji Lin looked in the mirror and praised with a smile.
"So the master is not allowed to underestimate Jingluo in the future!" Jingluo put his hands on his waist and was full of confidence.
Coincidentally, at this time, there was a knock at the door, light but not fast, and the rhythm was orderly. The master and servant looked at each other.
"Looks like we're pretty close. Ji Lin said with a smile as he stepped forward to open the door.
