Young man, please stay

Chapter 246 The best servant
Swish-!
Keng——!
Wow——!
In the bright morning light, somewhere in the princess's mansion, a figure dressed in green was dancing a sword.

……

There are three large and two small gardens in the princess's palace, with a total of five gardens. Except for the one in the study room [Qingyuan], the largest one behind the princess's boudoir is [Xinyuan].

In order to satisfy the princess's interest in martial arts since childhood, a small martial arts arena was specially set up in this garden. It is the same as an ordinary martial arts arena, but it is more exquisite. For example, the weapon racks are all made of huanghuali wood. Made of jade, some Lianjia artifacts such as stone locks are still made of jade.

It can be said that apart from looking good, such a "jade lock" has basically no practical use. It is too brittle and cannot withstand tossing.

The reason why it is placed here is simply that when the princess was still young, her empress sister was worried that her sister would scratch her finger, so she asked someone to make this extra gentle "stone lock".

Of course, Su Yinping didn't have much experience with things like stone locks anyway.

In addition to these, in addition to the hard paving that the martial arts arena should have, it is also surrounded by green bamboos, pines and cypresses. The princess likes swords, and sometimes if a large area is damaged during practice, someone will replace it in time.

……

But today, or in the past two days, although Princess Qingli still practiced her sword every day, the objects she chopped down when she got up were not these green bamboo trees, but a row of swords specially made from Mangzhou iron wood. Blockhead.

"Ma'am, there are so many."

Gulu...Gulu...

……

Su Yinping let out a breath of hot breath, first looked at the knife marks on the two wooden figures, and then looked at the heads of the wooden figures.

Su Yinping, who was drinking water, suddenly choked to death from a sudden sound in the distance. As soon as the teapot was placed on the table, before he could wipe his mouth, the knife in his right hand was already unsheathed.

But what really shocked Su Yinping was that the voice was that of a man.

All the heads of this row of wooden figures, without exception, have a portrait affixed to them.

If a person is too hateful, then even his portrait will be hateful.

Snapped--!
clang--!
Su Yinping's figure flashed and moved, with a falling pear knife in his hand, which struck the two wooden figures in succession, leaving eight white marks.

"hateful…"

It's not that Su Yinping was surprised.

"call…"

clang--!
clang--!
So the princess turned around, white clouds covered the roof, swept the autumn wind, and started chopping at a row of five wooden men again.

The portrait shows a very young and handsome man, whose demeanor is exactly the same as Qin Lang's.

The iron wood in Mangzhou is extraordinary, its toughness is even far superior to ordinary iron stone. The only person in the world who can carve this thing into a wooden figure to practice swordsmanship with is Princess Qingli.

"who!"

Normally at this time, the maid in the mansion would bring breakfast to Su Yinping, so it wouldn't be considered an intrusion.

"Pfft!? Cough! Cough!..."

After finally chopping up the portraits on the heads of the five wooden figures, he stopped, snorted as if to relieve his anger, put away the knife and came to the stone table, plucked the slightly damp hair around his ears, and lifted the mouth of a large teapot. He drank heavily.

You know, there is not a single man in the princess's mansion.

Especially when Su Yinping discovered that the hateful Qin Lang was still so good-looking and handsome even in the hateful portraits he drew, he couldn't help but feel that Qin Lang was even more hateful, as bad as he could get.

Even those who do menial work such as buying wood in the woodshed are relatively "strong and powerful" experienced women. Most of them are from farmers. Even if they don't know martial arts, they are more powerful than ordinary girls.

When a man's voice suddenly appeared, Su Yinping didn't care about distinguishing it and directly grasped the handle of the knife.

However, when Su Yinping turned around and took a look, he was even more confused.

The visitor was dressed in a brown shorts, a flat cap, and soap cloth shoes. He held a wooden plate respectfully with both hands. In the plate was a bowl of porridge and a small plate of red and unknown side dishes. He looked refreshing and attractive. people.

"lady."

Holding the plate, the servant-looking boy spoke again:
"I've been practicing for a long time, please have breakfast."

"..."

Su Yinping had a dark face and stared at the unknown "servant" without saying a word.

"cough…"

The servant was a little embarrassed and took a step forward from outside the martial arts arena:
"Madam, it will cool down later..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Yinping raised his eyebrows and suddenly said coldly:
"foot!"

"!"

The servant's face turned bitter, and he immediately retracted his left foot, then stepped back again.

"And that one!"

"..."

The servant retracted his right foot again and stood completely back outside the martial arts arena, with a look of embarrassment and confusion.

Although that virtue is a bit ridiculous, who else could be that delicate and handsome face besides Qin Lang in disguise? Seeing this guy's appearance, Su Yinping almost couldn't hold back the corners of his lips. He cursed in his heart that this scumbag really thought about it. At the same time, he used his sister's incident to remind himself that he couldn't be soft-hearted easily, so he went with a pretty face. Sitting leisurely at the stone table, he asked coldly:

"The house never recruits men. What's wrong with you? Where did you come from?"

"Uh...go back to Madam."

Qin Lang, the servant, said respectfully:
"It's like this. The villain's surname is Qin, his first name is Lang, and his courtesy name is Hao Ren. He was originally a prodigal son, but he was too poor at martial arts. When he traveled to the capital, he was penniless. He was about to starve to death on the roadside. He was captured by Taoer in the princess's palace. The girl found out that she really felt sorry for me, so she took me into the house to find a job. I hope Madam will be merciful, uh... tolerance is great, accept the villain!"

"..."

Qin Haoren…

Ha ha…

Su Yinping narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and raised her chin:
"What's your specialty?"

"This... I don't know for sure, but I believe that as time goes by, you can see people's hearts. As time goes by, Madam will definitely be able to feel the villain's strengths."

When Su Yinping heard this, he thought, OK, there is really no one else with this level of shamelessness except him.

"The Princess' Mansion does not recruit men. This is originally a rule, but since Tao'er has met you, it is considered a good relationship, so I can make an exception and recruit you."

"Thank you, madam!"

"Bring the food over."

"okay!"

Qin Lang came to the stone table carrying porridge and side dishes, put down the plate, and subconsciously glanced at the five wooden figures with his own portrait on them.

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh, Madam, I feel a little bit unbearable when I see the portraits of the men on these wooden figures. They are quite handsome and elegant, but they were chopped up like this by Madam..."

"Oh? You can't bear it?"

Su Yinping pointed at the wooden man:
"How about you go instead?"

"..."

Qin Lang was not that full after eating. As Xiao Xiao was about to leave, Su Yinping suddenly called out:
"Wait a minute...this porridge is good."

"Yes, fish fillet porridge. I made it myself."

"..."

The small spoon in Su Yinping's hand trembled slightly, and in his memory, the fish fillet porridge he drank in a hut in Qingniugang flashed by at this moment.

"What about this..."

"This is also a dried radish pickled by the little man himself. It is pickled freshly in the morning. Despite the short time, it is crispy and delicious."

"It seems you have found your specialty, and you can do it in the kitchen."

"Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation. Well...Madam, in that case, why don't you let the younger one take care of Madam's meals from now on?"

"sure."

Su Yinping nodded cheerfully, and then added while Qin Lang was secretly happy:

"Don't just leave me alone. Since you are so good at your craftsmanship, starting from today, everyone in the house will have two meals a day and some takeaway snacks."

"? All...everything?"

Qin Lang's servant tilted his hat and was stunned.

Shortly after Su Yinping drove him away, he quietly called the maid Tao'er over.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"Hmph, what's the matter...do you know what that guy did?"

"Hey... this... Tao'er does know, but Qin Shaoxia is very powerful in martial arts and tall and powerful. Tao'er, a weak woman, can't stop him..."

"Come on, you little girl with your elbows turned out!"

Su Yinping wrinkled her nose, stretched out her finger and poked Tao'er's forehead:
"Listen, I've arranged to put him in the kitchen now to teach him a lesson. Just... pay attention the whole time... Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand! Tao'er promises to strictly enforce the rules in the house! I'll give him a set of food both overtly and covertly! So that he can't eat it... Hey! Madam, why are you hitting me?"

"Nonsense! What did you understand!"

Su Yinping first had a look of hatred on his face, then his eyes flashed and he hesitated:

"I want you to pay attention... I want you to pay attention... don't really tire him out for any reason... or something..."

"Oh——! It's just that you love the servants on the surface, but secretly love your uncle! Tao'er understands~"

When Tao'er heard this, she immediately showed a meaningful silly smile, nodded repeatedly, and then ran away happily before the lady hit her again.
