"Hey, what are you doing?!" Nuan Nuan said dissatisfiedly after landing.
She was about to put the little bird back into its nest in the tree.
"If you want to eat persimmons, let others pick them. Don't climb the tree yourself."
This persimmon tree is old and its branches have become brittle.
Nuan Nuan opened his palm and revealed a baby bird: "I just want to put it back in the nest."
Just now the big bad wolf wanted to eat it in one bite.
Nalan Jinnian was startled. He didn't expect it to be like this: "You can't climb trees then."
He grabbed the chick in her hand, jumped up, and placed it back in its nest in the tree.
"Hey, let's pick two persimmons by the way." She really wanted to eat them.
The basket of persimmons he sent home was red, sweet, and delicious.
Nalan Jinnian folded a bunch of persimmons and handed them to her, his ice eyes filled with a smile, as if he was laughing at her for using birds as an excuse even though she clearly wanted to eat them.
Wen Nuan took it over as if nothing had happened, picked one off, and broke the two halves with his hands. The orange flesh was crystal clear, the juice was radiant, and the luster was alluring.
He took a bite of it, it was soft and sweet, with a mellow aroma: "It's so sweet, do you want it?"
Nuan Nuan looked up at someone and handed him the other half of the persimmon in his hand.
Nalan Jinnian didn't move, just looked at her.
In this bleak late autumn, when the prosperity is gone, the rugged branches are covered with clusters and strings of persimmons, as red as small lanterns.
Under the persimmon tree, a girl dressed in plain blue coarse cloth narrowed her autumn eyes with satisfaction, then raised her head, swept her long eyelashes like a fan, and opened her smart eyes to look at him.
Those clear eyes were dark and bright, as agile as the sea of stars, lighting up the barren mountains and dispelling the bleakness of late autumn.
I don’t know whether it’s the clusters and clusters of fiery red persimmons on the branches that light up the mountains and fields, or her bright, clear eyes.
"Don't you want to eat?" Nuan Nuan stretched his hand a little higher, handed half a persimmon to him, and asked again.
Nalan Jinnian looked at the red and orange half of a persimmon overflowing with sweet juice that was handed to him. He felt that it was very sweet at first glance.
He never liked sweets, but he looked at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him and asked seriously, clean and transparent.
There is no admiration that he is used to, no careful to please, no shyness, no shrinking, open and frank, natural, simple and beautiful.
He bent down and took a bite like a ghost, and his lips accidentally touched her fingertips.
The sweet and glutinous persimmon meat fills the taste buds, sliding from the tip of the tongue along the esophagus to the stomach. It is sweet and refreshing all the way, and finally the sweetness overflows in the heart, as if the time is dyed with a hint of sweetness.
Feeling a touch of softness touch his fingertips, Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he actually lowered his head and started eating!
She said angrily: "Take it and finish it by yourself! Do you need to feed it when it's so big? It's not like I don't have hands!"
"I only have one hand, and it will get dirty."
He actually doesn't like eating this little thing. He just thinks it's too sweet. He still thinks it's too sweet now, but it's still delicious.
So, even though he said this, he still took the half-bitten persimmon and finished it.
"A hand is also a hand! Don't you want to wash it if it's dirty?" Nuan Nuan muttered, then walked away to wash his hands.
…
On the other side, Butler Yuan sent Guo Mingyan and the others away.
Seeing that Guo Mingyan was a little depressed, Li Bing comforted him: "Miss Guo, you don't have to be sad. King Jin has always been very demanding. But you are already very powerful! If it weren't for you this time, how could we have made the Twenty-Year Series?" Looking at the entire Nalan Kingdom, I believe that no one except you can develop the crossbow in just a few days."
King Jin doesn't know how to show mercy to a girl, and he speaks so rudely to a girl!
Guo Mingyan is very talented in weapon design, has strong martial arts skills, and is beautiful. The soldiers in the military camp like her very much, and Li Bing also admires her.
Butler Yuan also felt that his mistress was too harsh. Miss Guo was of noble birth, good at both civil and military affairs, and extremely beautiful. She was a woman beyond compare. She would be one of the candidates for Princess Jin in the future. The Queen Mother also had this intention, so she comforted her. He said: "Master always demands perfection in everything he does. Miss Guo is so powerful. I believe that in a few days, we will be able to develop a repeating crossbow that is more powerful than the Xirong people."
This is not what Guo Mingyan cares about at all. She has long been used to Master Qi's indifference towards her. He treats everyone the same anyway.
That's not right. She couldn't help but inquire: "Steward Yuan, who is the girl next to Master Qi? Master Qi is so special to her."
"She is a peasant girl at the foot of the mountain. She came here to help the master treat his hand. Therefore, the master naturally treats her more favorably."
Guo Mingyan's intuition was wrong after hearing this: "Help Master Qi to treat his hand? A peasant girl knows medical skills? Mr. Feng can't do anything to Master Qi's hand! How could she?"
"She said she happened to encounter this kind of poison and knew acupuncture, so she knew how to treat it."
Guo Mingyan didn't believe it at all: "How can there be so many coincidences in this world? The matter of Master Qi's hand being poisoned is too strange. A peasant girl with unknown origins can cure his hand, but Master Qi actually believes it and doesn't think so Isn't that inappropriate? Butler Yuan, Master Qi is very good at treating her. It's understandable that he trusts that girl, but you have to be on guard! I don't know why, but I always have a bad premonition when I see her."
Butler Yuan was shocked and a little scared.
Guo Mingyan is the daughter of General Guo. She has been on the battlefield. I heard that her intuition is very accurate. She once saved the lives of a group of soldiers on the battlefield with her intuition.
Moreover, it is indeed unusual for a peasant girl to know medical skills. What if this is a nail in the coffin of another country...
Butler Yuan didn't dare to think about it.
If it is true, then that little girl’s ability is too powerful and she has hidden it too deeply!
He unconsciously became vigilant.
Lin Tingxuan frowned: "That girl doesn't seem like the kind of person with deep thoughts."
"Tingxuan, do you know her?"
"It's just a one-time relationship."
Guo Mingyan smiled and shook her head: "Awesome! You just trust him so much after just one encounter!"
Lin Tingxuan: "..."
Butler Yuan’s eyelids twitched even more!
At this time, Nalan Jinnian's voice came from behind, and the three of them couldn't help but turn around, only to see a silver-gray figure using Qinggong, leaping into the air and grabbing a girl.
He said something reproachful to her.
To the three of them, this reproachful tone sounded full of worry, something they had never heard from Nalan Jinnian before.
Who has King Jin, who has always been indifferent, ever worried about
The girl didn't know what she said, so he jumped up again and picked off a bunch of red bushes and gave them to her.
Not only that, the two also share a stick.
One is long and tall, dressed in jade robes, and the other is petite and exquisite, wearing coarse cloth, but the picture is strangely harmonious and beautiful.
Guo Mingyan was deeply stimulated! That cheap maid was so shameless that she took the initiative to feed King Jin persimmons!
How could she have the nerve to behave in such an intimate manner? shameless!
Guo Mingyan felt a sense of crisis that she had never experienced before. Her intuition was always very accurate!
She glanced at Butler Yuan, who was also stunned, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that the Seventeenth Master was so seduced by her that he couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west."
Butler Yuan: "..."
Butler Yuan sent the three people away worriedly.
Back in the study, the two of them had gone into the secret room for acupuncture. He was standing outside, eager to go in and watch closely.
But he didn't dare to disturb, so he could only wait outside anxiously.
