Chapter 25

25. Bronze mirror pendant with blue silk

After Pei Nianyu got his loyal dog to say "husband", he went back to his room and slept soundly, but Lou Yefeng was tossing and turning again.

He couldn't help himself to think about... the "husband" that the master asked him to call.

After all, in the customs of Da Jing, the word "husband" can only be called by the wife, and other names such as concubines and servants are not allowed.

However, he thought about it, and the master's tone just now was just trying to tease him.He now knew that his master seemed to be very keen to tease him with these intimate words since he began to like him.

The master is willing to make fun of him, so he naturally wants to obey the master.Not to mention that he doesn't resist these things, he is also happy if the master can laugh at it.But at the same time, he was not sure how serious the master's seemingly casual words were.

He didn't know if the master was sincerely willing...to agree to the deep meaning of the husband.

How about... Tomorrow, I will try calling out secretly again?

Lou Yefeng opened his eyes, looked at the roof, and breathed slightly short.

——Forget it, if you annoy the master, I'm afraid the master will never tease himself like this again.

Ever since he was spared by the master's kindness, it was as if he had taken his life. He didn't dare to reveal some thoughts of transgressing the rules, and he didn't dare to say more in the future, for fear that the master would feel that he was pushing his feet.There is no sense of proportion.

He sighed imperceptibly, turned around, closed the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

………………………

In the early morning of the next day, Lou Yefeng got up early according to his usual routine.

In the early morning light, taking advantage of the gray and white light outside the window, he got up and walked to the cabinet in the house, intending to take out the black suit that was newly cut and sent to him yesterday.

However, when he opened the cabinet door and reached in, he touched the fluffy hand first.

Warm and fresh.

Lou Yefeng: "..."

A pair of deep eyes suddenly opened on that mass of dark, unknown objects.

"Xiaohei... when did you run in?"

Lou Yefeng looked up at the top of the cabinet, and didn't know how it got in through the little gap.

The black cat stood up, stretched its long waist, and stepped on the soft clothes under it with its four paws.

Left foot...right foot...left foot...right foot...

Lou Yefeng was angry:

"Little black!"

He picked up Xiao Hei and put him on the ground, then quickly picked up his clothes and shook them off.

Fortunately, he didn't let Xiao Hei out of the hospital, so there was no dust on his paws, only a few cat hairs stuck to them while sleeping.

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei opened his eyes wide and looked at him innocently.

Lou Yefeng: "..."

He casually reprimanded Xiao Hei a few words, then quickly washed and adjusted his clothes.

A few days ago, I couldn't get up early because of my injury, but now that the high fever has subsided, I finally got up early, hoping to be there before the master got up.Speaking of which...he really hasn't fulfilled his duty of serving at all.

Arriving at the main courtyard of Hanqiu Pavilion, the master has not yet got up, Xia Yao is guarding in front of the door, when she sees Lou Yefeng, she doesn't make a sound, she nods her head slightly, and asks with her eyes.

"I... I'm here to serve the master."

It was agreed by the previous master to let him carry with him, and Xia Yao, as the big maid who manages all the servants in Hanqiu Pavilion, would not know about it.

Xia Yao still had a straight face, she couldn't see any expression, she just nodded and said softly:

"Just now I heard movement inside. I'm afraid the master is about to get up, so go in."

Then he opened the door for him.

Just as the door opened, suddenly a piece of smoky blue clothes swayed by, Jiang Xue tapped her toes and landed on the beam.

And behind the screen on the west side of the room, a white figure faintly came out from the bed curtain.

When Lou Yefeng entered the door, he saw that the owner was not dressed yet, and he was not sure if he could go in, so he asked softly first:

"Master, this subordinate is here to serve you...?"

The white figure paused, as if slightly surprised and delighted:

"Ye Feng? Come in."

"yes."

In the past, Jiang Xue was responsible for helping Pei Nianyu get dressed and washed. Now Jiang Xue heard the conversation between the two of them, but she was a little curious.

——She felt a little novelty in her heart, and she wanted to see...how the commander of Lou Da, who had never done such a job before, would serve his master.

Xia Yao shook her head secretly, and tugged on her sleeve.Since that day, she has already seen that Lou Yefeng's status in the heart of the master is no higher than that of others, so at this moment, it is natural to leave them a space not to be disturbed by these maids.

Jiang Xue didn't react.

Xia Yao sighed, leaned into her ear and said:

"Jiang Xue, I saw your sister Yun Shao outside just now, it seems that she has already made something delicious in the kitchen."

"Yes...is it?"

The next moment, Jiang Xue pulled Xia Yao out of the house like a wind.

Lou Yefeng: "..."

He turned his head and asked habitually first:

"Master, Jiang Xue will keep vigil from now on...?"

Because Pei Nianyu never liked having too many people close to him, the shadow guards who were on duty every night before were secretly guarded in the courtyard and on the roof outside the house, while Lou Yefeng was on duty inside the house.

He alone had this permission.

It lasts for ten years.

Now that Lou Yefeng resigned, Pei Nianyu felt that it would be uncomfortable for He Qi to enter the house, so he asked Jiang Xue to take up the job concurrently.

"Yeah. Speaking of which, why did you get up so early today? Didn't you ask you to rest more?"

Lou Yefeng turned into the next room, picked up the clothes hanging on the shelf to put on Pei Nianyu, and said apologetically:

"Sleeping too much in the past few days, the master is generous if he doesn't blame his subordinates, how can the subordinates forget their duties."

"Is the injury better?"

"Thank you, master, for your concern. It's just some skin trauma, but it's already healed."

Pei Nianyu fastened his clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror:

"There's nothing to be thankful for. Come on, tie my hair."

"……yes."

However, when Lou Yefeng was standing behind his master with the jade comb in his hands, and his fingers stopped in front of the scattered black hair before touching it, he hesitated for a moment.

——When he watched the night on the beams of the house countless times, in countless mornings day after day, he watched the master's maid doing this for him.

It used to be Xia Yao, and later it was Jiang Xue.

He has always watched this scene quietly, and had a faint fantasy in his heart, if it was his own hand that held the master's strand of black hair...

But every time, just when the thought just surfaced, he hastily suppressed it.

He is just the master's shadow guard, and he dare not have such disrespectful thoughts towards his master, but because of the hidden feelings in his heart, he often pops up from time to time.

Now... the fantasy that was once unattainable to him has come true.

The bright sunlight quietly spread into the room, slanting into the room, warming up the silence of the room, all of this... feels a little unreal.

Pei Nianyu waited for a while but didn't move, and turned his face slightly:

"Why, you won't?"

"Subordinates... will."

Lou Yefeng came back to his senses, but he was facing the back of his master's neck as white as jade, his hand shook slightly, and he quickly suppressed the delusional thoughts in his heart.Only then did he gently pick up the master's black hair, and use the jade comb with his right hand to comb it out for the master.

Pei Nianyu has always been well maintained, her pitch-black hair is soft and smooth, Lou Yefeng holds it carefully in his hand, slightly curling his fingers, as if treating some kind of treasure.

Although Lou Yefeng has never tied someone else's hair, he has seen this set of movements countless times in secret, so he should know how to copy blindly.

Seeing that his movements were not familiar, but they were orderly, Pei Nianyu simply leaned back, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

Lou Yefeng, as a handsome man, naturally felt completely different from Jiang Xue's soft little hands when he tied his hair, but his movements were the same gentle and careful, even Lou Yefeng was even worse.

Pei Nianyu could clearly feel the solid heat emanating from the palms of the man on the back of his neck, which enveloped him all the time.The slender and strong fingers shuttled between the hair, and from time to time they rubbed against the skin on the sideburns, and the calluses on the fingers that had been holding the sword all the year round were gently brushed...

It was the palm that had experienced countless trials and hardships. At this moment, doing such a meticulous thing gave him a sense of peace of mind for no reason.

What's more, this is the person he loves, and also the person who loves him deeply... It is completely different from the routine of the maids before.

The mind here, like the tenderness that wraps fingers around, penetrates into the heart and generates warmth by itself.

Pei Nianyu closed his eyes and sighed contentedly.

"Master, it's already tied up, look...?"

"Ok?"

Pei Nianyu was enjoying himself, when he opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that Lou Yefeng had still taken care of him so neatly. An exquisitely carved black sandalwood hairpin tied up the black hair. Although the hairstyle was simple, it was still warm.

He was slightly regretful, silent for two seconds, and suddenly said:

"It doesn't look good, let's do it again."

Lou Yefeng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly untied it and combed it again.

Pei Nianyu narrowed his eyes and snickered.

However, this bronze mirror is far worse than the mirrors of the later generations, and it can only be seen vaguely. Lou Yefeng obviously didn't notice the master's "bad intentions" expression.

After a long while, combed it the second time.Pei Nianyu looked left and right, then pretended to cough twice:

"It's still not good, let's start over."

Lou Yefeng didn't know that his master was playing tricks on him, he just wanted to enjoy the feeling of his gentle fingers brushing his hair for a while longer.He only listened to his words, and naturally became panicked, and suddenly knelt down and said:

"The subordinate is clumsy, I really don't know how to..."

Pei Nianyu felt distressed immediately, knowing that he had overplayed, so he quickly picked him up:

"Cough... I just want to tease you, it's none of your business."

Then he got up and said:

"Actually, you have learned quite well, but you may still be a little nervous about doing such trivial things now. After this novelty, as you get older... I'm afraid you will get bored. Naturally, I will take advantage of it."Now more...cough cough."

After he finished speaking, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong, turned his gaze, and walked out the door.

He didn't notice it at all, and Lou Yefeng in the room sighed softly, and then muttered to himself:

"How can you get bored... If you can really allow your subordinates to be by your side all the time, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for thousands of years..."

………………………

Here, Pei Nianyu entered the small kitchen and saw Yun Shao practicing egg throwing on his own.

Ever since he made a Liuxin omelet that day, Yun Shao has been on the same level with this Liuxin egg. After practicing dozens of times, he finally mastered the heat, and even the student becomes superior to the master.

She naturally has her goals.As the master's cook, it is impossible to justify eating the meals cooked by the master himself every day.

It's just that she hasn't realized the cooking principle of the master's superb cooking skills, so she has no choice but to practice the dishes the master has cooked in the past few days.

"nice."

Pei Nianyu praised casually, and then started pouring wontons into the boiling pot.

...also known as wonton, or Chaoshou.

All in all, it's pretty much the same thing.

This is the one that Lou Yefeng and Yun Shao wrapped together last night, so they can be cooked directly in the morning.

After those white, tender and smooth chao hands were rolling and jumping up and down in the tumbling hot water, Pei Nianyu fished them out and put them into the prepared sauce bowl.

Then pour a large spoonful of hot red oil.

The red oil was poured into the bowl, mixed with the soup, and immediately became viscous, dyeing the originally quiet and white Chaoshou in the bowl into a fiery color.

Finally, sprinkle with a few green onions.

Pei Nianyu looked at the bowl of delicious breakfast in front of him with satisfaction, but he still didn't forget to serve Yun Shao and Jiang Xue a bowl each.

After finishing the assignment of the two ladies, Pei Nianyu called again to the shadow of the tree outside the house:

"He Qi? Would you like a bowl too?"

He Qi showed up on the ground, but this time he didn't fight or grab, and said:

"This subordinate is grateful to the master for his kindness, but there is no need, this subordinate is on duty as a guard, and you can't eat spicy food, as it will smell on you."

Pei Nianyu was startled, then nodded:

"Hmm, okay then."

Then He Qi quietly retreated back.

At this moment, Jiang Xue suddenly realized that something was wrong, did the master forget someone?

When Lou Yefeng entered the door, for the first time, he didn't see his share.But how could he have the nerve to ask the master?Just look around and try to find something else to fill your belly.

Pei Nianyu brought out a bowl of chicken soup wontons:

"Ye Feng, this bowl is yours."

Lou Yefeng was stunned: "Master, why can't I eat that red oil...?"

Pei Nianyu smiled sweetly, leaned into his ear and said:

"Do you still want to get well early and come to sleep with me? Be obedient, don't eat spicy food these days."

Lou Yefeng reacted for a second before he understood the master's meaning, his cheeks flushed immediately, and his fingers firmly pinched the edge of the celadon bowl.

He lowered his head involuntarily, trying to avoid the slightly teasing eyes of the master, but when he saw the clean clear soup in the bowl, his face turned even redder.

Jiang Xue was still at a loss: "Why can't he eat red oil... Oops!"

Yun Shao tapped her on the head with chopsticks: "Concentrate on eating your food, what do children know so much about?"

That tone was said with a suppressed smile.

Lou Yefeng: "..."

Awkward.

Several people in the house were talking and laughing, full of joy, but He Qi outside the house burst into tears in his heart:

Master, my subordinates can’t eat spicy food either... why don’t you copy the clear soup and leave me a bowl...

The author has something to say:

He Qi: I am a poor little person that no one wants everyday...
