Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 394

Du Shiqi stood under the tree in a daze, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.She was wearing a crimson silk gown embroidered with golden thread and red crane patterns, and a scarlet brocade cloak was covering her head, which was fierce like a ball of fire, but her complexion was pale, with a timid and sickly state, which was quite annoying. people love.

Two handmaids, about the age of cardamom, who wore buns, stood behind her silently. Although their cheeks were flushed from the cold, they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.One of them was holding a huge copper flower goblet in his arms, and the other was holding a gold lacquer tray. In the tray were cloth towels, warm bags, hand ointment and other small things, and a delicate silver handle was placed beside it. Sheath short dagger.

Du Shiqi looked at the sky wistfully for a while, then turned his gaze back to the flower tree, picked a branch at random, and cut it with silver scissors.It's just that the flower branch grew thickly, and she spent a long time trying to cut it, but she couldn't stop cutting it.

The corners of her lips curled up a bit, and she lightly threw the scissors to the plate, then picked up the dagger beside her.

The thin and gentle girl is holding a dagger that doesn't match in her hand. The sharp contrast is a bit frightening for some reason.

Seeing this, the maid holding the flower cup showed a little nervousness on her face, and cautiously stepped forward and said, "Miss, be careful, or let me do it."

Du Shiqi glanced back at her lightly, with a half-smile expression on his face, and his soft voice sounded like a whisper: "Why do you want you to come? Do you think you are more capable than me?"

The maid turned pale, and then shook her head desperately: "No, girl, I... I... I'm afraid you'll hurt your hand."

Du Shiqi smiled and nodded to her, without speaking, he raised his arm suddenly.

A cold light suddenly flashed in the air, the dagger in her hand had already been unsheathed, brushed against the hair beside the maid's face, and plunged into the snow with a "plop".

It was very still.

I don't know where the wind came from, and the snow on the wintersweet fell, and it couldn't stop falling down.

The maid stood blankly, her entire face was as pale as paper.

The dagger didn't touch her, but she was still shaking and her teeth were chattering.

After a long while, her knees softened, and she knelt down on the hard stone path with a "plop", and said tremblingly, "Girl...forgive...forgive..."

She wanted to kowtow to plead guilty, but she didn't dare to put down the flower goblet in her hand, so she could only bend her back desperately, and her whole body fell on the ground and shook into a ball.

Du Shiqi looked at her condescendingly for a while, then raised his hand to examine his fingers carefully, the smile on his lips remained unchanged.

The maid holding the plate came over tremblingly, she didn't dare to say a word, she only held the plate with both hands above her head, her head almost dropped to the ground.

Du Shiqi put the scabbard back into his sleeve with a smile, picked up the cloth towel on the plate and wiped his hands, then picked up the warm bag, and said with a "hmm", "Go down."

The maid who was holding the plate hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed to stand still.

Du Shiqi raised his chin towards the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Pick up the dagger and stab it on the arm."

Her voice was soft and her attitude was gentle, she paused for a while and then added: "Also, that flower gu is an old thing from the former Qin Dynasty, I love it very much, don't let it go, lest it breaks somewhere. If Zeng Yu knows that I don't cherish these things, she will also blame me."

Zeng Fu is Du Shiqi's nurturing woman, and she is usually quite strict.

"Yes, young lady. Thank you ... thank you young lady for your kindness." The maid who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly said, then turned her head tremblingly, only to see the dagger fell into the snow five or six steps behind her, leaving only one The handle of the knife was outside, and the entire blade was buried in the snow.

Just now Du Shiqi made that throw, and his strength is really not small.

The maid shivered, gritted her teeth, moved her knees and walked into the snow.

The gravel path was frozen hard, and the gravel on it was cold and sharp, and it was painful to scrape like a knife.After only a few steps on her knees, the maid's skirt was scratched by the gravel. Fortunately, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, so no blood was seen at the hole, but she was still sweating coldly from the pain.

Just as she was gritting her teeth and knees and walking forward, a very peaceful voice suddenly came from behind and said: "What are you doing, girl? Let them go, don't be naughty anymore."

With this sound, the two maids were obviously relieved, and the maid holding the flower goblet had red eyes and almost shed tears.

A trace of hostility quickly flashed across Du Shiqi's face, but when she turned her head, the smile on her face was delicate and gentle.

"You're back." She pursed her lips and smiled at the visitor, with a faint dimple on her left cheek, and said with a smile, "You know me best and know that I'm joking."

The person who came was a woman dressed as a maid, but her clothes were far more gorgeous than the other two maids. She was also a few years older, about sixteen or seventeen, and she was quite handsome, but her complexion at the moment was a little bit Not very well, her face was pale and blue, and she seemed to be walking in a hurry, a little out of breath, holding a delicate silk scarf in her hand, wiping sweat from time to time as she walked.

Seeing Du Shiqi, she smiled and asked: "What's wrong with you? How did you get rid of the sweat?" After finishing speaking, she turned to look at the maid who was holding the plate, and said politely. Joke: "Look, your sister Caixuan has lost all her demeanor today."

She pursed her lips and smiled softly, her waxy voice was like the softest catkins, which could be lifted up by a gust of spring breeze.

The maid who was holding the plate dared not speak in a murmur, but the maid named Caixuan lowered her head when she heard this, and the disgust flashed away in her eyes.

This kind of expression that is never suitable to appear on the face of a servant can't be discovered by others.So, when Caixuan raised her head, her pale face was still gentle: "Girls are the most kind, they are just stupid people, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as them?"

When she said these words, she turned her head subconsciously, and wiped her shoulders with a cloth towel. From a distance, she seemed to be brushing away the residual snow on her body, and her movements were very natural.

Du Shiqi narrowed his eyes slightly.

No one noticed that at that moment, the flames of excitement flickered in her eyes.

That is the joy of discovering something interesting in the boring, and it can even be said to be gloating.

"What's the matter with you?" Du Shiqi asked again when Caixuan got closer, holding the warm bag in both hands, with a calm expression.

At this time, Caixuan had already walked in front of Du Shiqi. Although her face was still pale, her voice was as usual: "If you are a girl, I am fine, but Mrs. Li...sees no guests."

Although she said nothing happened, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Du Shiqi, but her eyes were extremely deep, and she looked to both sides after she finished speaking.

　Thank you for the safety talisman of Yuhuachunmu and Daimei children's shoes that cannot be blown by the wind.Thank you for your monthly pass.
