Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 89

"Old man, the peach tree in the corner hasn't bloomed much in recent years, or someone can transplant another one." Gui Fu saw that the old man had been staring at the old peach tree in the corner that had only bloomed two or three flowers. Can't help but speak.

Liu Shaodi was woken up by his shout, silently shook his head to express no need, and walked into the study with his hands behind his back.

Gui Fu saw the back of the Duke who seemed to be bleak for a moment, although he didn't know why, he left the small courtyard silently.Just walking outside the small courtyard, I saw my father, the old butler of the Liu Mansion walking over, Gui Fu stepped forward to say hello and at the same time couldn't help asking: "Father, just now I saw the old man was looking at the peach tree in the corner, He asked if he wanted someone to exchange it for a better blooming one, but Grandpa Guo seemed to suddenly... Ouch, why are you beating me?"

Gui Fu was hit by his father before he finished speaking, and he was even more dazed holding his head.

"You brat is talking nonsense. That peach blossom was my wife's favorite in the past. The Duke is looking at things and thinking about others." The old housekeeper glared at his son, looked at the study, and decided to wait for a while before entering.

Returning along the same road with his son, the old housekeeper suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Master Guo, he is a long-term lover. When my wife passed away, he was almost devastated. Such a majestic man on the battlefield who made the enemy fearful, Because of the death of my beloved wife, it's really... pitiful."

He has been a housekeeper in the Liu Mansion for so many years, and almost all Liu Guogong was raised by him, so he is naturally aware of the affairs here.Because he knew it, he felt that he wanted to sigh when he saw the Duke's secret grief for so many years.

In this world, the most hurtful thing is the word love.

The first time Su Baiyan saw the young general named Liu Shaodi was when he returned to court after his first victory.At that time, Su Baiyan sneaked out to play, and among the crowded crowd, she saw the army passing by on the street.Liu Shaodi walked in the middle of the team as soon as he rode the black horse.

He obviously looks like a young man of her age, but his expression is determined and there is a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.There are deep creases between his brows, and it can be seen that he likes to frown. His face is as cold and rigid as the armor on his body.

Su Baiyan secretly stuck out his tongue thinking about a boring and serious young and mature guy.

A few days later, Su Baiyan heard her father, who had always loved her, talk to her mother and several older brothers about that stern-faced boy.Said that he was young and promising, good looking and talented, but worthy of his precious daughter, and expected to come to ask her if she had any intention of getting married at a later date.Su Baiyan snorted, thinking to herself how beautiful that kind of face like a door panel is, which arouses the praise of her parents and elder brother.

The more Su Baiyan thought about it, the more she felt that the face of the door was not pleasing to the eye, so she ran directly to Liu's mansion to tell him that she must never agree to get married.But when she got to the door, she felt that it would be too shameful to come to him like this.She is also a girl from a decent family, although she is used to being as crazy as a man as a woman in her family, but she is still a woman after all, and there is absolutely no such thing as casually looking for a man whom she has never met before.

All anger was gone, Su Baiyan turned around and wanted to leave unhappily, but she couldn't be reconciled in the end, wandering around outside the walls of Liu's house for a while, unable to make up her mind.Su Baiyan suddenly heard a low voice shouting and beeping from inside the wall. Su Baiyan heard it was a young boy's voice, maybe it was Liu Shaodi, the stern face.

Looking left and right to see if no one was passing by, Su Baiyan lifted her skirt and climbed towards the courtyard wall.Their Su family is also a general of the same school. Several brothers dote on her, and her father loves her the most. She has raised her to be a boy. She is used to climbing walls and trees, so she can easily sit down to the top of the wall.

Su Baiyan, who was dressed in light yellow clothes, was sitting on the top of the wall somewhere in the backyard of Liu's house and looking in, she saw the door-faced man practicing slashing with a sword.Wearing a black bunt shirt with a neat bun, his movements were boring and meticulous. Su Baiyan sat there watching him for a long time without realizing that all he focused on was swinging the sword.

He didn't stop to wipe his eyes with a towel until the sweat flowed into his eyes.When he stopped, he turned his head inadvertently, and saw a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old sitting on the wall of his house.

Liu Shaodi's parents were at odds. His mother had gone to a nunnery outside Yujing to practice cultivation in the early years, while his father took a group of concubines to live in the branch of the Liu family in Fanyang. He hadn't come to Yujing for many years.Yujing's Liu family is much worse than before, and it was only after he grew up and won a battle that he regained some of its former glory.

He has been living alone in Liu Mansion since he was very young, he is the only master and has no one to teach and support him.He was busy with martial arts and studying again, although at this age that should be well versed in human affairs, he still didn't know anything.

Men from ordinary families should be busy talking about their daughter-in-law when they reach this age, and rich families should also prepare a housekeeper to teach personnel, but when he was on the battlefield, his parents lived their own lives and never thought about him as a son. Can't call the shots.So Liu Shaodi grew up so big, except for the nanny who brought him up at home, he never even saw a girl's face seriously.Therefore, he didn't know how to get along with a girl.

So, when he suddenly saw Su Baiyan sitting on the wall frowning at him with an unhappy face, he didn't know how to react.After a while he lowered his head, decided to pretend that he didn't see her, and practiced his sword again.

Seeing his reaction, Su Baiyan became angry for a while.How dare this guy ignore her?It looks like you don't even want to take a second look!She is obviously very beautiful, but what is going on with that guy's ignoring attitude!Su Baiyan was depressed for a while, and accidentally saw a burning peach blossom in the corner of the yard, and suddenly said: "Hey, I see that the peach blossoms in your yard are blooming well, can you pick a branch for me."

As soon as the movement of swinging the sword stopped, Liu Shaodi looked at Su Baiyan who was sitting on the top of the wall with an angry face, and then at the peach blossom tree in the corner, with some hesitation.

"Why, Little General Liu is even stingy with a branch of peach blossom?" Su Baiyan said unhappily with her hips akimbo.

Liu Shaodi put down his sword, plucked a branch of peach blossom and walked over, stood far below the wall and stretched out his hand to her without making a sound.

Seeing him standing so far away, Su Baiyan became inexplicably angry again, why is this stern-faced man so annoying, "What are you doing standing so far away, a girl like me can still eat you up, I can't get it if you stand closer .”

No matter how vicious Su Baiyan said, Liu Shaodi didn't change his expression, didn't speak, just stood a little forward silently and handed the peach blossom to her, seeing her accept it, he immediately turned around and grabbed the sword to prepare for sword practice.

"This peach blossom doesn't bloom well, I want the peach blossom on the top." Su Baiyan did it on purpose, she just wanted to make trouble with the person in front of her.Although she is a bit savage on weekdays, she never intentionally makes things difficult for no reason. Many people like her openness, generosity and enthusiasm.But this point is suddenly different when facing this impervious face.God knows why she just wanted to embarrass him. It would be better to see him change his face.

Su Baiyan eagerly waited for him to get angry, but Liu Shaodi, who had never changed his serious face when he looked at the reticent, still had no intention of getting angry with her, who appeared inexplicably and made demands inexplicably.He just put down the sword in his hand again, walked under the peach blossom tree, climbed up neatly with one hand on the branch, broke off the branch that Su Baiyan said was the most beautiful, walked to the wall again and handed it to her.

Not being able to see him change his expression, Su Baiyan was unhappy, but he was so good-tempered and didn't get angry with her, it seemed that it would be bad to make trouble without reason.Su Baiyan thought, let's talk about it next time, next time he must let cracks appear on his face.

She was absent-minded, but when she went to pick up the peach blossom, Su Baiyan accidentally fell down.

After a low exclamation, Su Baiyan was picked up by Liu Shaodi under the wall.After all, it was still a girl's house, and Su Baiyan was a little embarrassed to be hugged by a strange man.However, she inadvertently saw that Liu Shaodi's ears were a little red. Although he still had that serious face, it completely leaked the news that he was embarrassed.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Su Baiyan didn't feel anything, she was full of surprise, so this guy would be shy? !If you're shy...it's a little pleasing to the eye.

"Put me down when you've hugged me enough." Su Baiyan raised her eyebrows in the arms of this young man who seemed to be in a daze, and said very calmly.

Liu Shaodi came back to his senses, realized that he was still holding the eldest girl in a daze, and let go of him in surprise.Then Su Baiyan fell to the ground with an ouch.

Liu Shaodi was a little at a loss, he never thought that the girl's house would be so light, and it was unbelievably soft to hold, and there was a fragrance on her body.Liu Shaodi, who had never even touched the girl's little hand, couldn't help but was stunned for a while, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that his action was really inappropriate and bad for the girl's family reputation, so he let go without knowing what to do for a while.

Liu Shaodi was just about to help, when he saw this girl who seemed to have a bad temper clapping her hands and skirt to stand up, approaching aggressively, Liu Shaodi, who was able to go forward and never retreat in the face of countless enemies on the battlefield, suddenly felt I want to go back.But in fact, he just stuck there like a real wooden man.

"What's the matter with you, I was hurt by you, do you know?"

Liu Shaodi was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said the first sentence, he said: "Sorry." Then it was gone.

Seeing him as a majestic young general with his head down and his whole body stiff, as if he was pitifully being bullied, Su Baiyan felt that he had gone too far, so she snorted slightly, "Forget it, I don't care about you."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the sky and felt that it was getting late, so she turned around and wanted to climb up the fence wall that she had climbed up.But she climbed up to the top of the wall just now because there was a stone outside the wall that she could borrow strength from. Without her, she couldn't climb up here.Thinking that she couldn't let this door face look like a joke, Su Baiyan tried to jump up with a sullen and pretty face, trying to grab the edge of the fence.

Liu Shaodi stood there just like that, watching the girl say that she didn't care about him and was about to leave gracefully, but she couldn't climb up, she could only bounce up and down for a long time, and finally couldn't turn around and looked annoyed with a pair of black and bright eyes Staring at him, "Didn't you see that I can't go up, you won't even help?"

This girl seems to be very fierce, but Liu Shaodi felt that she was very cute for no reason, and she was always very angry, which was very different from the lady-like mother in his memory.It's good to be so energetic and lively.

Su Baiyan felt that she was so ashamed that she had to ask this stern face for help.Her original intention was to ask him to give her a hand, but who knew, he nodded after a moment of silence, squatted directly under the wall and said in a low voice, "Step on it."
