At night, Li Xiuyuan returned to Guobei County with the Li family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, the inside of the Li Mansion is still brightly lit, and there are even family members patrolling back and forth outside the mansion, carrying lanterns, illuminating the nearby road clearly.
"It's the eldest young master, the eldest young master is back. ”
"Quick, go to the master. Steward Li hurriedly urged.
"Yes, butler. Immediately, someone ran into the mansion and sent back the news of Li Xiuyuan's return.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand at this moment and said: "It's not early, the others will go back to rest after putting the horses away, today is hard, tomorrow one person will be rewarded with one or two silver." ”
"Thank you, young master. Everyone replied happily, looking a little excited.
If you don't do anything, you can get a reward of one or two silver, which is a lot of money today.
"Fluttershy, come back to my house. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, young master. Fluttershy clutches a package and follows her with some restraint, for fear of losing it even more.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Steward Li, hasn't my father slept so late?"
"The lord heard that the eldest young master had taken away so many people today, and he was worried, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet, for fear that the eldest young master would have an accident outside, so he specially ordered the house to light up the lamp for a night, ready to welcome the eldest young master back at any time. Steward Li said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Father is still the same, but now that I have returned, the family members are also safe and sound, nothing has happened, let the people turn off the lights and rest early." ”
"Yes, young master. Steward Li replied.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan takes Fluttershy into the house.
"My unicorn is back, and my father's heart is worry-free. When he just walked outside the lobby, he saw Li Dafu walking out with a relaxed smile.
"Worried my father. Li Xiuyuan arched his hand.
Li Dafu said with a smile: "Before, Wu'er sent Tie Shan to ask for a golden lock for his father, I don't know which woman he fell in love with, isn't it the girl behind you." With that, he squints at Fluttershy again.
But I saw that she was exquisite-looking, well-behaved, and extraordinary, although she was a lot worse than the fox spirit Qing'e before, but she was also a good woman, and she was a good match for her son.
Fluttershy is looked at by Li Dafu as if he were his daughter-in-law, and is immediately a little embarrassed, but she keeps her head down and doesn't speak.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, this matter is a long story, let me talk to my father slowly tomorrow." ”
He also didn't know the merits of this in a few words, he couldn't say that he wanted to kill the thousand-year-old tree spirit when he went to Lanruo Temple, and the matter of Qingmei was not easy to explain, so he could only think about it in his heart first, and find a better reason to fool the past tomorrow, as for those demons and monsters, it was better not to say it, so as not to make my father worry again.
"Well, it's okay, it's not early today, let's talk about something tomorrow, as for this girl'......" Li Dafu thought for a while, and seemed to be thinking about how to arrange it.
Li Xiuyuan said, "Father, her name is Fluttershy, and she will be the child's personal handmaid from today onwards. ”
"Hehe, good, good, my son has finally opened up, and I am very happy for my father. Li Dafu saw that this woman had been taken in by his son as a personal servant, and immediately smiled and nodded: "Since it is your personal servant, then you won't say anything for your father, you can arrange it yourself." ”
He doesn't care about any maid or concubine, as long as his son doesn't go to learn from monks and doesn't get close to women.
And this woman is not bad, it is just right to be a personal maid.
"It's not early, my father asked me to rest early, and the child was tired, so I went back to the room to rest. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Hmm. Go ahead. Li Dafu said.
Li Xiuyuan then leaves with Fluttershy.
After returning to his room, he said, "Fluttershy, there is a side room over there, you can sleep there, there are no rules in the Li Mansion, you can live here with peace of mind." ”
Now that she's taken Fluttershy as her personal maid, she doesn't have any scruples about sleeping in the same room.
"Yes, young master. Fluttershy's heart warms as she listens, and she opens the package in her arms and hands over a deed.
"What is this?" Li Xiuyuan subconsciously took over.
Fluttershy says, "It's the slave's deed of sale, which used to be kept with Miss, but now that Miss is gone, I ask Childe to keep it." ”
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "You can keep your deed of sale by yourself, just don't lose it, if you feel that you have been wronged in the house one day, or if I treat you badly, you can leave." ”
Fluttershy immediately knelt down with a puff and said urgently: "Young master, the slave and maid will live and die from today to the people of the Li family, death is the ghost of the Li family, even if the son drives the slave and the maid away, the slave and the maid will not leave, the slave and the maid have no young lady, and they cannot live without the young master in the future." After saying that, he couldn't help but cry.
"Why did you kneel down again, didn't you say you were not allowed to kneel again? Li Xiuyuan hurriedly helped her up, then wiped her tears and said, "I just said this, if you want, you can stay in the Li family for the rest of your life, and no one will drive you away." ”
"Thank you, young master. Fluttershy relieved herself and smiled.
"You haven't slept in two days, go get some rest. Li Xiuyuan said.
Fluttershy said, "But the young master hasn't slept yet, so let's wait for the young master to fall asleep." ”
"Not today. Li Xiuyuan said: "You are much more tired than me now, and if you want to serve, you have to take care of yourself, go to sleep." ”
Fluttershy nods, salutes, and walks into the side room, where she blows out the candles and appears to be resting.
Thinking back on what Fluttershy had been through, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, then turned around and went back to his room to rest.
Just when he had just fallen asleep and had not gone to bed early, he suddenly heard a sound of stumbling footsteps, and a figure tiptoed gently to push the door in, and then walked to the bed, gently uncovered the quilt under Li Xiuyuan's feet, and then quickly got in.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan felt that his feet were hugged and placed in a warm, soft embrace.
"Who?" asked Li Xiuyuan aloud.
Isn't it the maid in his own house again, and secretly ran to his couch.
This kind of thing is not once or twice, every year there are always a few bold maids, secretly running to his couch, wanting to serve him.
However, Li Xiuyuan's body had not developed before, and he was powerless to the young and beautiful maid, so he never succeeded.
"It's a slave maid, a slave and a maid to warm the young master's feet. Fluttershy curled up at her feet and hugged Li Xiuyuan's feet into her arms: "The young master's feet are so warm, and the slave doesn't feel cold at all." ”
In this era, the so-called handmaidens are not just sleeping with their masters, they have to wait on their masters' daily life at all times, and Fluttershy's methods are very common to serve their masters, warming their feet.
Sleep at the feet of the owner, hug the owner's feet in your arms, and warm the owner's feet with body heat.
If it's a little hotter, it's fine, but if it's winter, some people's feet are cold, and the maid who warms their feet will suffer.
"Come to sleep, I don't need you to warm your feet. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, young master. Fluttershy gets out of the bed again, goes around to the front, and uncovers the brocade quilt and drills in.
Li Xiuyuan hugged her into his arms, felt her slightly cool delicate body and said: "My body is so cold, what kind of feet do you warm, my Li family doesn't have a foot warmer, that's a thing to practice people, my Li family doesn't do it." ”
Fluttershy was hugged by Li Xiuyuan at the moment, and she felt extremely warm, and the coolness of her whole body was dispelled, as if she was leaning against a stove, which made her want to stay here.
"But the slave and maid will not do anything except serve people, if the young master does not let the slave and maid serve, then the slave and maid will not be of any use. Fluttershy's heart pounds and she whispers.
"You don't need to do anything, that's enough, go to sleep, it's late. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Hmm. ”
Fluttershy answers, only to feel that she is very safe in the young master's arms, and for a moment the fatigue wells up in her heart, and she falls into a deep sleep.
