The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 688

Chapter 688

July 23 pm.

Because it had just rained, the high temperature dropped several degrees, and even the air was much fresher. However, this sudden shower was not really friendly to passers-by.

With the sound of wheels rolling and spokes ringing, a rickshaw slowly turned into Taohua Lane. Although the speed was not fast, the driver's movements seemed cautious and strenuous due to the slippery feet under every step.

When the car stopped firmly outside the door of 'Su Zhai', the coachman breathed a sigh of relief, carefully lowered the handlebar, turned back to wipe his sweat with a towel, nodded and bowed to the passengers in the car to apologize.

Xueyan and Chunxian helped the shed to get out of the car. As soon as Chunxian's feet fell to the ground, she wanted to walk in, but Xueyan grabbed her.

I saw Xue Yan saluted the coachman slightly and said, "I don't want it to rain on the way, this trip is really hard, Brother Xu."

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen big coins from the sleeve and handed them over.

"No, no, I can't accept this, I can't accept it!"

Seeing this, brother Xu of the car waved his hands and stepped back, but his heel was tripped by the handlebar, and he almost fell headlong.

After trying to stabilize his figure, he continued to refuse.

This 'Brother Xu' was originally a rickshaw driver newly recruited by a certain car dealership. Because he is honest and stupid and can't attract customers, his performance has been at the bottom. It was inconvenient for him to travel, and there was no horse-drawn carriage in Taohua Alley, so he simply hired him to stay at the entrance of the alley for a long time, serving Sister Lin's master and servants only.

Xueyan knew that he was afraid that he would lose this hard-won job because of the extra money, so she didn't force her, and gave him another slight salute, and then led Chunxian into the courtyard gate.

As he walked in, he explained to Chunxian: "In a while, you can bring him a bowl of hot tea. After all, he is hired by Uncle Jiao. You don't want to look at the monk's face, but at the Buddha's face."

But Xueyan was explaining it, and suddenly saw a bicycle parked under the corridor of the main room, she couldn't help but "Huh", walked into the main room in three steps at a time, put the newly bought rouge powder on the table , while looking inside, he asked curiously, "Why is Uncle Jiao here so soon?"

Most of the time, Jiao Shun would come here near the evening and stay for an hour before leaving; or he would come in the morning and spend the whole day with Lin Daiyu—it was the first time he came in the afternoon like this.

Zijuan came forward to classify the rouge and gouache, and explained: "I said there was something new and I wanted to share it with our girls, so I came early—unfortunately, there was a heavy rain on the road, and I haven't waited to find a place. If you hide, you will be drenched in water."

As he said that, he pouted his mouth inside and said, "No, I just fetched water and am going to take a hot bath."

bath?

After hearing this, Xueyan glanced quickly around the room, and immediately asked half-sourly: "It's the lotus root officials inside..."

Before she finished speaking, Ou Guan walked in through the curtain.

Xueyan was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red, and she said pleasantly: "Could it be that the girl is serving inside?!"

Seeing that Xueyan almost put the word "happy to see it" on her face, Zijuan couldn't help but give her a blank look, and said angrily, "What are you thinking? Of course it's Mr. Jiao who is inside—the girl is here." What about the study?"

Xueyan was a little discouraged at first, but after thinking about it, the girl's willingness to let Uncle Jiao use her bathtub is enough to prove that the relationship between the two parties is close-this kind of treatment, even the second master Bao never enjoyed it!

Besides, isn't this a good opportunity to highlight yourself?

At that moment, she stammered: "Isn't it, is it inappropriate to let Uncle Jiao take a bath by himself?"

Zijuan rolled her eyes again: "Go in if you want, who can stop you?"

"I, I didn't say that!"

Although her thoughts were clearly revealed, Xueyan was still a little annoyed when she was pointed out so bluntly, and stomped angrily: "I just think that Uncle Jiao is kind to our girls, so we can't be ungrateful!"

Zijuan was too lazy to argue with her, and when she was sure that she had bought the right rouge and gouache, she went to the study to report.

Xueyan snorted coquettishly, turned her head and looked at Ouguan again.

Although Ouguan's temper was a bit rough, he was not a fool, so he hurriedly retreated the same way.

Only then was Xueyan satisfied, calmed down, and cautiously approached the bedroom door, raised her hand to knock on the door, but retracted halfway, until she took a few deep breaths in a row, then slammed the door, trembling. Said: "Master, do you want, do you want..."

Before she could speak clearly, Jiao Shun's deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

Joyful, ashamed and flustered, Xueyan cautiously pushed open a gap, saw that Jiao Shun had entered the bathtub, opened the door wider, and slipped in like a paper man.

"Sure enough, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal."

I heard Jiao Shun lamenting in the tub: "When did I have someone serve me before? Now it's fine, I'm not used to taking a bath by myself."

"Master is a noble person, and we deserve to serve you."

As Xueyan said, she locked the door and moved to the tub step by step, but she didn't dare to look into the tub. She just took a bath towel from the side and said in a trembling voice, "Master, let me rub your back first. .”

Hearing this, Jiao Shun stood up from the bathtub with a crash, and lazily said, "Your girl's bathtub is too small, I can't move around in it, so I'd better go out and rub it before coming in."

Saying so, she stepped out of the bathtub, sat on the bench with the towels on her back facing Xueyan, and at the same time did not forget to draw a big cake for her: "You are the most well-behaved and sensible girl in this yard who knows how to feel pain." People, don't worry, the future master will not treat you badly."

However, after he finished speaking, it was a long time before Xue Yan saw any movement.

Jiao Shun looked back in some puzzlement, but saw that girl was blushing like a tablecloth, her eyes were straight and tightly clutching the towel, as if she had lost all her souls.

From the looks of it, it should have been shocked by the biology of Yidian.

It wasn't until Jiao Shun took a bath and wrapped his half body in a bath towel that she got used to it a little bit, but it was still hard to let go.

It's strange that the girl from before...

knock knock knock

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and Xue Yan felt guilty like a thief, and subconsciously asked: "Who?"

"it's me."

Zijuan's voice came from outside the door: "Snow Goose, come out first."

Xueyan turned her head to look at Jiao Shun, and then hurriedly pushed the door out.

Outside Zijuan also felt dizzy with cheeks for some reason, and when she saw the snow geese coming out, she hurriedly threw the clothes in her hands to her: "This is Uncle Jiao's clothes, the girl has already ironed them dry."

Saying that, he turned around and fled away.

Seeing her like this, Xueyan calmed down for no reason, thinking that she had finally overwhelmed sister Zijuan.

So the steps back into the house became much lighter.

When he saw Jiao Shun, he presented the clothes to him as if they were offering treasures, and emphasized: "Look quickly, our girl has ironed this clothes for you!"

Jiao Shun smiled slightly, let her dress herself neatly, and then walked into the hall with clogs on.

Lin Daiyu was sitting in the living room in a daze, when she saw Jiao Shun leading the snow geese out of the living room, she hurriedly avoided her sight, and when Jiao Shun approached her, she subconsciously explained: "The obscene clothes inside, They were all ironed by Zijuan."

"Haha, I didn't ask that either."

Jiao Shun teased her, then quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, I want to show you something rare, let's go outside and do it in the yard."

After leading Lin Daiyu outside, Jiao Shun first took out a large bag of cocoa powder from the cart basket, and then took out sugar, milk, butter and other things—anyone in the future would guess that he wanted DIY couple chocolates.

This is an old routine of bad streets in later generations, but it is very effective in the present.

I heard that it was making a kind of candy that had never been seen before. Not to mention some young people, even Wang Momo couldn't help being curious, and deliberately brought out a simple small stove that had been bought and hadn't been used a few times.

During this period, it is natural that there are branch routines such as joking with each other about their crafts, wiping their faces with chocolate sauce, and sucking their fingers.

Later, even Zijuan and snow geese were involved, and the yard was full of laughter.

Because I ate a lot of chocolate sauce on the way, I even postponed dinner. I was busy until the tip of the willow tree on the moon, and then I chilled the chocolate that was ready with ice cubes—there is no place to store ice in the small courtyard. It is sent by the ice room every day.

When she was free, Lin Daiyu realized that it was getting late.

After quietly asking about the time, she looked at Jiao Shun and stopped for a while, but in the end she didn't have the courage to ask directly to ask for a guest, so she dragged Zijuan into a corner and whispered a few words.

Zijuan was not surprised to hear that, after all, the atmosphere had already been set on this point.

Immediately Jiao Jiao said: "It's dark and the road is slippery, why don't you stay with us today, sir."

As he said that, he glanced at his girl, and added: "If the uncle doesn't dislike it, Ouguan and I will vacate the west wing room."

There are three main rooms in this small courtyard, two rooms in the east and west rooms. The east room is occupied by Wang Momo, Xueyan and Chunxian, and the west room is occupied by Zicuckoo and Ou Guan.

Jiao Shun also glanced at Lin Daiyu, and then responded with a smile.

Feeling his gaze, Lin Daiyu turned her head unnaturally, but moved back after a while, tilted Jiao Shun, and bit her red lips lightly, looking hesitant.

After receiving the order, the lotus official went to tidy up in the west chamber.

While arranging his own quilt and other things, he asked Zijuan for instructions: "Sister Zijuan, the quilt that Mr. Jiao built is probably inappropriate to use ours? Or, from the girl..."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

But Zijuan sat sideways on the bed, looked in the direction of the main room and said: "Don't rush to clean up, just wait for the news."

Wait for the news?

Ouguan was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood—after all, she was the most experienced one among them.

So the two sat side by side on the head of the bed, stretched their necks and waited for the latest instructions from the main room.

In the main room, as time passed, the impatience on Lin Daiyu's face became more and more obvious.

Suddenly she stood up, walked around the living room a few times quickly, stood with her back to Xueyan and Chunxian, and said decisively: "Xueyan, you, you go back to the east chamber first."

Chun Xian was still a little unclear, but Xue Yan had already dragged her out.

When there were only Jiao Shun and Lin Daiyu left in the room, Sister Lin took a deep breath, lowered her head and muttered, "Er, or choose a day rather than hit the sun, just, just tonight!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Jiao Shun's expression, and fled into the room sullenly.

But Jiao Shun finished the tea with the presence of the old god, and then walked in like a car.

…………

It was midnight that night.

"It's okay, it's okay."

The old Chinese doctor of Shunsu Hall got up from the bed covered with curtains, stroked his beard and Jiaojiao said: "Although Madam was injured by a sharp object and convulsed, her pulse condition is stable and her qi and blood are not lost. It is expected that she will take care of her for a while." Just fine."

As he said that, he first wrote a prescription for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and then said: "I also have a special wound medicine over there, apply it every morning and evening, to ensure that it will not fester."

Jiao Shun kept responding, but in his heart he said that no matter how good the ointment was, he would not dare to smear it.

After sending the old doctor out of the door, when Jiao Shun turned back, Xueyan had already rolled up the curtains, and saw Lin Daiyu lying on the bed blushing, and when she saw him coming back, she subconsciously wanted to turn sideways and face inside. As a result, he couldn't help frowning as soon as he moved.

Seeing Jiao Shun, he waved his hand to signal Xue Yan to leave, then sat on the bedside and leaned over to peck her on the face, and said with a smile: "All women have to go through this."

Lin Daiyu was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "But I don't hear that Xiangyun and sister Xing are like me."

"You have been weak since you were a child."

As Jiao Shun said, he simply took off his shoes and went to bed, wrapping her small and exquisite body in his arms: "Naturally it will be harder than others at first, but it will be fine after you get used to it."

Lin Daiyu huddled in his arms, but her mood did not improve at all.

Previously, it could be said that Jiao Shun did it on purpose, but this time...

Thinking of how she passed out, Jiao Shun was so frightened that she invited a doctor overnight, she was embarrassed, frustrated and frustrated.

also……

Is this a repayment of kindness, or did it fail to repay it?

"All right."

Seeing this, Jiao Shun wrapped her up a little tighter, and said with relief: "It will be fine next time, but you have to take care of yourself first, and then don't be too nervous, if it doesn't work, let's have a few drinks cup, I just asked someone to get some medicinal wine..."

Listening to him rambling in her ear, Lin Daiyu finally felt better.

After a long while, he lightly poked his chest with his elbow, and said: "I'm fine, you should go to bed early, don't you have to go to the yamen to be on duty in the morning?"

"Not urgent."

Jiao Shun rubbed against the back of her head again, then got up and said, "Anyway, you won't be able to fall asleep for a while, I'll go and see if the chocolate is ready, if it's ready, let's taste it before going to bed too late .”

As he spoke, he called Xueyan and Zicuckoo in to take care of them, and led Chunxian to check the condition of the chocolates.

After he left, Lin Daiyu always felt that Zijuan and Xueyan were looking at her quietly, subconsciously about to order them to put down the curtain again so as to hide their probing eyes.

But when he got to the point of speaking, he stopped suddenly, because he suddenly thought of the common sense of physiology that he had secretly acquired recently.

Brother Jiao just now should not have...

No, definitely not yet!

With a blushing face, she lightly bit her red lips, and subconsciously tightened her legs. Feeling that the pain still hadn't improved, she could only shift her gaze to Zijuan and Xueyan, and after a while, she locked on Xueyan alone.

"Zicuckoo, you go out first."

Hearing her girl's trembling voice let her go out, Zijuan froze for a moment, looked at the snow geese beside her, then lowered her head as if realizing something, and walked out blushing quickly.
