pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 35

As soon as Zhan Huaichun entered the room, he noticed the change in A Yu.

In the past, when he came back, she would greet him with a smile, and then pretend to look at his hand indifferently, because he would occasionally bring her something.If he brought it, she would lower her head to hide her surprise, but if he didn't, she looked as usual and was not disappointed.But today, she stood there neatly, with her head down, not because she was afraid of him so she didn't dare to look at him, but despite her fear, she still tried to pretend to be calm, waiting to listen to his orders like other maids.

Do you want to express her dissatisfaction in this way?

Zhan Huaichun went directly to the inner room.

Ayu was relieved that she was not trained, and continued to wait in fear for a while, making sure that she was not going to order her to do anything. She sat on the outer couch, pulled over the sewing basket, and sewed the half-embroidered veil.

There was no movement inside until the dinner was served.

A Yu hesitated for a moment at the door of the inner room, but still bravely called out: "Master, it's time for dinner."

No one answered him, but footsteps approached.

Ayu bowed his head and stepped back to the side.

When Zhan Huaichun came out, he sat down on the couch without even looking at her.When he took the chopsticks, he glanced over there, seeing that she didn't intend to come over, he sneered, looked at the other pair of chopsticks on the opposite side, said nothing, and ate by himself.

There was no sound when he ate, only the soft sound of the chopsticks hitting the plate. Ayu waited quietly, but he didn't feel hungry.After Zhan Huaichun finished eating, she went to the kitchen to call the maids to clean up, but when she returned, there was no one in the room.A Yu knew that Zhan Huaichun was angry with her and didn't want to ask her to go for a walk together, so she went to the dining room to use her own, but the dining room thought she would use it with the young master, and didn't prepare her.Fortunately, Zhan Huaichun didn't eat much for dinner, and there were leftovers, so Ayu just ate some casually, went back to the room after eating, and stayed in the room obediently.

Zhan Huaichun came back very late this time, and it was completely dark.

He didn't say anything, Ah Yu went to wash his feet as usual, and squatted in front of the bed to wash his feet.

She washed it seriously, and didn't realize that the man above her head was looking at her all the time.

"Does the young master have any other orders?" After washing her feet, she asked with a basin in her hand.

The man didn't speak, A Yu raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he was looking at the end of the bed as if thinking about something, so he backed away gently.

After everything was packed, Ah Yu blew up the lamp and got on the couch, meditated and recited scriptures. After reading a scroll, she pulled the quilt over herself and fell asleep soon.

The whole next day, Zhan Huaichun didn't say a word to Ayu, and went to the garden after breakfast in the morning without taking Ayu with him.Come back at lunch time, take a lunch break for half an hour before leaving, and then dinner.As long as the two of them are together, he will remain expressionless, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Ayu knew that Zhan Huaichun was still angry with her, but she didn't know what to do.Zhan Huaichun used to scold her when he was angry, and she apologized when she knew she was wrong, but now he doesn't scold others, he doesn't say anything, twice A Yu wanted to admit his mistakes first, but he lost the courage to face his cold face.Fortunately, Zhan Huaichun doesn't stay in the house for long a day, so she doesn't have to experience the feeling of restlessness for too long.

After breakfast this day, Zhan Huaichun went to the garden again.I heard from Chang'an that he was obsessed with fishing yesterday. Chang'an rowed a boat. He sat on the boat and lay down on the boat to sleep when he was tired.Ayu had never been on a boat before, so she was quite curious, but Zhan Huaichun didn't want to take her there, so she had no choice but to talk to Dangui Danxia after cleaning up the house.

This was the first time the three of them got together after the training that day.

Because Danxia got angry with Ayu, she was a little awkward when they met again, but Ayu didn't take her words to heart that day, and still greeted her with a smile when she came over, and then Dangui pulled her to her side to talk to her.

"Did the second young master punish you?" Dangui asked worriedly.

A Yu shook his head: "No, the young master has never talked to me."

"Didn't you say a word?" Dangui was surprised, "Then you didn't take the initiative to admit your mistake to the young master?"

Ayu still shook his head, looking down at his hands: "I dare not, sometimes I ask the young master if he has any other orders, but he ignores me."

Dangui was silent. According to that master's temper, he must be angry if he ignored people, but it was strange that he didn't scold Ayu when he was angry.

"Why don't you take the initiative to admit your mistake to the young master when he comes back today?" Dangui suggested to Ayu, "The young master is usually so kind to you, but now he must be at odds with you, waiting for you to take the initiative to admit your mistake."

"He won't be angry if I take the initiative to admit my mistake?" A Yu didn't quite understand, "He is so angry that he doesn't want to talk to me now, if I take the initiative to tell him, will the young master be even more angry?" A Yu didn't dare to provoke him .

Dangui laughed at her: "Have you never had any trouble with anyone? Sometimes I quarrel with my brother, but we both want to make up, but neither of us can save face. , I have to wait for the other party to come to admit his mistake first before talking to him. The young master should be like this to you now, he wants to talk to you, but you don't apologize, he can't bear to scold you and you have no steps, so you can only keep ignoring you. If you don't believe me, try it at noon, if the young master comes back and you admit your mistake, even if the young master scolds you a few words, he will soon reconcile with you."

A Yu seemed to understand, but looked at the sky outside, it was almost noon, so he said goodbye to the two and went back to the upper room.

Not long after sitting down, Chang An came back, stood at the door of the outer room and said to her: "The young master just sweated out of martial arts practice, and went directly to the bathing pool to take a bath, you quickly pick out a piece of clothing and send it with a towel."

Ayu was taken aback: "Go directly? Did you ask the hot water room to prepare hot water in advance?" She has seen the bathing pool in Zhan's house before. The hot water room is heated first, and then mixed with the spring water to lead it into the pool , if it is summer, just put the spring water directly.

"No, except in winter, the young master likes to take a cold shower. You go get a towel and clothes, I'll go back first." Standing in the sun for a long time, Changan was almost dying of heat, and now he just wants to drink water to wipe his body.

He was sweating profusely, A Yu hurriedly let him go, went to pick out a moon-white spring shirt from the closet, took two towels and walked towards the bathtub.She served Zhan Huaichun to take a bath, but she always waited outside, and after Zhan Huaichun got out of the shower, he changed his clothes and wiped his hair.

"Young master, this servant has brought you clothes." She stood outside the inner room door and said to the inside.

The sound of rushing water inside suddenly calmed down, and after a long time, the man finally said the first words in two days to her: "Come in, hang your clothes on the screen, and then go outside and wait."

Xu Shi hadn't heard Zhan Huaichun speak for a long time, and Ah Yu thought his voice was nice.He lowered his head and walked in, and caught a glimpse of him at the edge of the pool farthest from here, with only his shoulders protruding from the water, his long hair tied on top of his head with a hairpin, his handsome face was soaked in water...

A Yu didn't dare to look too much, put the things away, and walked out quickly.He must be naked in the shower. He said that if a man and a woman hug each other naked, it is a violation of the precept, so it is not good for her to look at him naked, right?

She waited quietly outside, the sound of the water inside echoed back and forth non-stop, and it took a quarter of an hour before it stopped.When the man landed, he couldn't hear his voice very clearly. After a while, he changed into wooden clogs and walked outside. The soles of the clogs were louder than the boots, and they would make a nice clicking sound when they stepped on the ground.

Soon she saw the pair of clogs, and Ah Yu hurriedly lowered her head.

After Zhan Huaichun came out, he didn't look at her, and sat directly in front of the window. The bright light from outside shrouded him, making his face blurry.

His hair was wet, there was no need to tell him about it, A Yu knew what to do.Holding another scarf, she walked over quickly, stood beside him and said, "Master, lower your head, and this servant will help you twist your hair."

Zhan Huaichun withdrew his gaze from the window, glanced at her, turned around, and lowered his head.

With his cooperation, Ah Yu was not so nervous. First, he helped him push all the long hair hanging from the back to the front, then wrapped it with a towel, and wiped it gently.Zhan Huaichun's hair was completely down to his waist, silky and silky like satin, black and shiny, drying his hair was Ayu's favorite job.She has been bald since she was a child, and she never knew that hair felt so comfortable to the touch.

After wringing out his hair, he combed it for him.Ayu turned behind Zhan Huaichun, holding a strand in his left hand, raised his right hand, and ran the comb down from the top of the man's head. When he encountered obstacles, he would gently untangle the tangled hair for him. The room was silent.His hair is not dry yet, it is cool and cool, like satin. Ayu likes it very much. He can't help but glance at the mirror on the table, wanting to see what he is doing, and unexpectedly meets a pair of black hair. Quiet eyes.

She froze and stared at him blankly.Zhan Huaichun was also looking at her in the mirror, there was no scolding, no anger, and no indifference in his eyes, but an emotion that Ah Yu couldn't distinguish, as if hiding under the water of a sparkling lake, probably only by staring at her for a long time, could he see her. clean it?

But Ah Yu didn't dare to look at him, so he looked away first, combed his hair with lowered eyes, secretly thinking about how to admit his mistake.It was indeed her fault. As Dan Gui said, he was waiting for her to admit her mistake, so she should...

Just as he was thinking, the man suddenly said, "I scolded you the day before yesterday, do you feel wronged?"

The voice was low and calm, like an ordinary conversation between two people.

Because of his calmness, A Yu's nervous heart also calmed down, he stopped his movements, bowed his head and said: "No, the young master is right, slave girl..."

"I said that you want us to match each other in front of me, and I'm not used to being a slave." Zhan Huaichun interrupted her with a frown.

Ayu was silent, thinking of Dangui Danxia kneeling in front of him: "It's against the rules to say that..."

"What's wrong with the rules? My words are the rules." Zhan Huaichun said with anger again.

Ayu stopped talking, acquiescing.He is the young master, and she has to listen to him in everything.

"Go on, are you wronged by that matter, are you blaming me?" She didn't speak, Zhan Huaichun urged her.

"No, the young master is right, slave, I'm just a maid, I shouldn't bother to dress up, and I shouldn't go out secretly."

A Yu admitted his mistake sincerely, but Zhan Huaichun felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He was angry for a while that day, angry that she was stupid and was touched by others, not because he really didn't want her to dress up.She is also stupid, why don't she just think about it, if he really objected to her dressing up, why did he order someone to make a turban embroidered dress for her?After being cold for two days, she should eat and sleep, nothing was delayed, and she didn't know what was going on in her head!
When she thought of his cold face, she would show it to him, Zhan Huaichun didn't want to talk to her anymore, but looking at her quiet appearance with her head bowed and admitting her mistake, she was afraid that the stalemate would continue. his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Huaichun said to the window: "I was a bit harsh that day, so don't take it to heart. You are different from the other maids, you are my personal maid, and you represent my face when you go out. It’s okay to go shopping, but if you let a man pull your arm in broad daylight, others will think you’re indiscreet, and then I’ll think I’m indiscreet, understand?”

A Yu looked up in surprise: "The young master is angry, not because I want to dress up, not because I went out without authorization, but because Brother Zhang pulled my arm?"

"What is Second Brother Zhang? How many times have you met him with such an intimate name?" Zhan Huaichun turned around quickly and asked with a cold face.

"Just once." Ayu hurriedly defended.

"You just call the man you met once, the second elder brother. How can there be any appearance that a girl should have? Ayu, let me tell you, you are my maid now, and you can only get closer to me. Other men, Except for what I told you to convey, except for the necessary greetings, you shouldn't even talk much, let alone have physical contact with them. This is the reason why men and women can't kiss each other, understand?"

"Understood." In fact, Ayu didn't understand it very well, but he was obviously angry. Would she dare to say that she didn't understand?

Anyway, he is the young master, so she will listen to whatever he says.
