Chapter 246 The Best Servant
Wha—!
Keng——!
Wow——!
The morning light is bright, somewhere in the princess's mansion, a figure dressed in green is dancing a sword.
...
There are three large and two small gardens in the princess's mansion, with a total of five gardens. Except for the [Qing Garden] in the study room, the largest [Xin Garden] is behind the princess's boudoir.
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 refined, such as weapons. The frames are all made of huanghuali wood, but some Lianjia utensils such as stone locks are actually made of jade.
Such a "jade lock" can be said to have no practical use except to look good. 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 had someone make this extraordinarily 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 piece of it 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 were not these trees and green bamboos. Instead, they are a row of wooden figures specially made from Mangzhou ironwood.
……
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.
Pa—!
Dang——!
Su Yinping's body was moving around in a flash, with a falling pear knife in his hand. The two swords struck the two wooden figures in succession, leaving eight white marks.
“Huh…”
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.
The heads of this row of wooden figures, without exception, all have a portrait affixed to them.
The portrait shows a very young and handsome man, with an expression that is exactly the same as that of Qin Lang.
“Abominable…”
If a person is too abominable, then even his portrait will be abominable.
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.
Dang——!
Dang——!
Then the princess turned around, white clouds covered the roof, swept the autumn wind, and started chopping at a row of five wooden men again.
After finally chopping up the portraits on the heads of the five wooden men, he stopped, hummed in relief, put away the knife and came to the stone table, plucked the slightly wet hair from his ears, He picked up a large teapot and drank heavily.
Gulu...Gulu...
"Madam, there are so many."
"Pfft——!? Cough! Cough!..."
A sudden voice from far behind made Su Yinping, who was drinking water, choked half to death. As soon as he put the teapot on the table, before he could wipe his mouth, the knife in his right hand was already unsheathed.
“Who!”
It wasn't that Su Yinping was surprised.
Usually at this time, the maid in the mansion would bring breakfast to Su Yinping, so it was not considered an intrusion.
But what really shocked Su Yinping was that the voice was that of a man.
You know, there is not a single man in the princess's mansion.
Even those who do menial work such as buying firewood and buying firewood are all 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, she was even more confused.
The person who came was wearing a brown shorts, a flat cap on his head, and soap cloth shoes on his feet. He respectfully held a wooden plate with both hands. On the plate was a bowl of porridge and a small plate of red side dishes. , it looks refreshing and attractive.
"Madam."
Holding the plate, the servant-looking boy spoke again:
"I have been practicing for a long time, please have breakfast."
"..."
Su Yinping stared at the unknown "servant" with a dark face and said nothing. .
“Ahem…”
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:
"Feet!"
" !”
The servant’s expression turned bitter, and he immediately shrank his left foot back, then stepped back.
"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. He sat leisurely at the stone table and asked in a cold voice:
"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:
< br>"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 and was imprisoned by the princess's palace. Miss Taoer 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...
Haha...
Su Yinping narrowed his apricot eyes and raised his chin:
"What are your specialties?"
"This... I don't know for sure, but I believe that as time goes by, you will see people's hearts. As time goes by, your wife 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. I can make an exception and recruit you."
"Thank you, madam!"
"Bring the food here."
"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, the young man saw the portraits on these wooden figures. They are quite handsome, elegant and suave, but they were chopped into pieces like this by Madam. , I always feel a little bit unbearable...",
"Oh? You can't bear it?"
Su Yinping pointed at the wooden man:
"Then why don't you go and take my place?"
"..."
Qin Lang was not that full. He was about to leave with Xiao Xiao when Su Yinping suddenly Call out:
"Wait a minute...this porridge is good."
"Yes, fish fillet porridge, cooked by the villain himself."
"..."
The small spoon in Su Yinping's hand trembled slightly, and in his memory, the fish fillet porridge he drank in a small house in Qingniugang flashed by at this moment.
"What about this..."
"This is also a dried radish pickled by the villain himself. It is pickled in the morning. Despite the short time, it is crispy and delicious."
< br>"It seems that you have found your specialty, and you can do it in the kitchen."
"Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation, that...Madam, in this case, how about letting the younger one take care of Madam's meals from now on?"
"Okay."
Su Yinping He nodded cheerfully, and then added while Qin Lang was secretly happy:
"Don't be the only one. Since you are so good at your craftsmanship, starting today, everyone in the house will have a good day." Two meals and some snacks are included. ”
“? Everything? ”
Qin Lang's servant tilted his hat and was stunned.
Not long after Su Yinping drove him away, he quietly called the maid Taoer over.
"What's the matter, madam?"
"Humph, what else is going on...Do you know what that guy did?"
"Hey...this ... Tao'er does know, but Qin Shaoxia is so powerful in martial arts and so tall and powerful that 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 Taoer's forehead:
"Listen, I have arranged for him to be sent to the kitchen now to teach him a lesson, so just... pay attention the whole time... Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand! Tao'er promises to strictly enforce the rules of the house! Give him a meal even if it's not clear. He can't bear it... Hey! Why are you hitting me?"
"What did you understand?"
Su Yinping had a look of resentment at first, then his eyes flashed and he hesitated:
"I want you to pay attention... I want you to pay attention... Don't really make him tired... Something like that..."
"Oh——! I'm just trying to be a servant on the surface, but secretly I love my uncle! Tao'er understands~"
When Tao'er heard this, she suddenly smiled meaningfully. , nodded repeatedly, and then ran away laughing before the lady hit her again.
