Chapter 20(1/2)
Liu Anan has keenly discovered in the past few days that the tyrant seems to have been much busy recently. Governor Jiang has frequent contacts, and the atmosphere in Yang's house is very different from the past.
These days, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only embroider a small dress in her yard.
As summer came, Tongzhou Prefecture felt like it was put into a steamer, making people sweat all the time.
The Yang Mansion made a lot of clothes for her, but some close-fitting ones were missing.
Liu Anan was embarrassed to mention it, so he cut two sets of thin and soft petticoats himself and made two thin clothes.
She could calm down at any time when she had work on her hands. She sat on a small stool under the window, twisted the thread, blew the warm wind outside, and embroidered a pattern on the cloth.
"Girl! Hurry up! Mr. Chu is here!"
The maid who was guarding outside the door hurried in, with a look of difference and surprise.
Liu Anan bit off the middle line of his hand and raised his eyes in surprise.
Through the double-sided embroidered screen, the man had just crossed the threshold. The first time, no, the second time he stepped into her residence.
Liu Anan quickly stuffed the small coat in his hand into the frame basket and pressed two silk squids on it.
Just after doing this, the man had already come around.
The weather was hot, and the black-green clothes on his body had changed to a two-point lighter county green color.
Liu Anan got up and gave up his position.
"Why... have you come to me?"
In the past, she was asked to go to the study to serve her. She didn't let her serve her during this period. The two of them hadn't met for several days. It was hard to imagine that he would actually come to her room on his own initiative.
"There is one thing that I think it's better to tell you in person."
Chu Yu was tall and could not accommodate him by the embroidered stool specially for the little girl. He sat for a while and then got up. He saw a basket on the table, and he took out a silk sable stool to look at it.
"What's so important? You have to go there in person?"
Liu Anan watched Chu Yu reach into the basket, and his nervous heart was in his throat. His eyes were staring at his hands in a hurry, and he swallowed, fearing that he would continue to turn down.
"In ten days, we will return to Beijing."
As if he was very interested in the little girl's things, Chu Yu put down the silk handkerchief and slowly picked up another piece to appreciate it. He said casually while watching.
Return to Beijing...
Liu An'an's eyes lit up.
It turned out that the tyrant really planned to take her back to Beijing.
Great! She was able to return to Beijing with the tyrant, which was simply the biggest improvement she had ever made!
"Before this..." Chu Yu put the silk parquet back into the basket and looked back at the excited little girl who was emitting a happy atmosphere.
"Do you want to go home?"
It took several days to go back to Zhennan Prince's Mansion from Tongzhou Prefecture, and it was probably too late to leave after ten days.
Liu Anan was in trouble. I was afraid that I would not be able to go home in the short term, but if I go back, I would not be able to keep up with the time... She was in a dilemma.
"Su Guangfu is not far away. You seem... hesitating?"
The man's words suddenly woke Liu An'an up. Later she realized that in the eyes of the tyrant, she was not from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but a person with the status of a concubine daughter of a small official in the Su Guangfu!
Oh no!
Liu Anan was a little panicked, and hesitated with his head down.
"I...I am a concubine's daughter. If I go back...well, my mother may not be happy."
How dare she 'go back'!
She didn't know where Su Guangfu was. At that time, the aide of the righteous brother just sorted out a piece of information and handed it over to her, asking her to keep the relationship between the characters in her back. She would definitely not interrogate the people around her when she said that the tyrant was. Just a little understanding of it will not make any mistakes.
But now I was wrong! Before returning to Beijing, I asked her to go home. It sounded like a tyrant was extremely indulging her! But how could she accept it!
Fortunately, her identity was just a small concubine. Liu Anan recalled that the concubine daughters and young ladies were as obedient as quails under the eldest lady, and immediately made up a reasonable statement for herself.
"Your legitimate mother doesn't like it, so don't you miss your aunt?"
It sounds like Chu Yu’s question is more reasonable.
Liu Anan was confused, yes, um, for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable answer.
"Auntie... um... aunt..." Oops, I forgot about my aunt's affairs all at once!
"Oh, I forgot..." Chu Yu saw the little girl stammering and couldn't even speak clearly, and his eyes were a little joking, "Your aunt is gone."
Liu Anan looked up in panic.
The man was still facing her side, staring at her basket with his eyes down, as if he was not interested.
Liu Anan had forgotten the relationship between the small official in Su Guangfu and could only follow his words.
"……Yes."
After hearing this, Chu Yu seemed to have curled the corners of his mouth.
"Well, since that's the case, it's fine if you don't go back. Just write a letter to your family to bring it."
Liu Anan suddenly thought that after she arrived in Tongzhou Prefecture, she wrote a letter to the maid to take it back to the royal palace only two months ago. Two months have passed, and she will soon follow the tyrant back to Beijing, so that her righteous brother and mother can know about her situation and not worry.
"yes!"
She agreed very simply.
Chu Yu finally turned around.
He was holding a small piece of fabric in his hand.
It is light, breathable, delicate in feel, light in color, only a little bit of the fabric, and a hibiscus flower is embroidered at the center.
Liu An'an's face turned red.
"This handkerchief is a bit big and not suitable for you."
Chu Yu blocked Liu An'an's face, folded the small piece of fabric and put it in his sleeve: "Let's use it for me."
"Not suitable!!" Liu Anan's voice had never been so loud. She almost shouted, and then she came up and snatched from Chu Yu's sleeves like a leopard.
A man just raises his hand and the petite little girl can't reach it.
"Speak well, what are you doing?" The man raised his eyebrows, puzzled by the girl's excitement.
Liu Anan couldn't say it well. Her neck was so embarrassed that she was blushed with water in her eyes. She bit her lip and tried hard to reach the man's hand.
Chu Yu is tall, and she is so cute and cute in front of a man, she jumps up with her feet, and her fingertips can't reach his hands.
"Give it back to me!" In desperation, Liu Anan didn't care about the cautious rules he used to treat the tyrant on weekdays. He grabbed his sleeve with one hand and tried hard to jump up to grab it.
Chu Yu raised his arm and tried to see the little girl who was so anxious that she was furious.
It's rare, and you're so anxious that you lose your etiquette.
"A veil, is it?"
Liu Anan clenched his lips.
Of course, a veil won’t be enough, but it’s the little dress she made!
How can I carry my daughter’s close-fitting things as a veil with me?
I'm so embarrassed!
She didn't dare to say that! She could only rely on her own efforts to grab it back.
The man didn't let the water go, letting the little girl get so anxious that she had to get close to his arms and stretch out her hand to grab it.
She was anxious and forgot to wear a thin summer shirt. When she raised her hand, her sleeves slid down her arm, revealing her white and delicate forearms.
The sunlight shone in outside the window and fell on her forearm, as white as dazzling.
More heartbreaking.
The thin clothes could not stop her shame and annoyance. She looked like shrimps that had been in a pot, fluttering red.
There is no sweat in summer, but the clean and refreshing fragrance on her body.
A blind eye made her look at Sora and pressed his wrist, quickly took out the fabric from her sleeve, and hid it behind her back.
As soon as Liu Anan grabbed the piece of fabric that had not yet been completely formed, he hid it, and stared at Chu Yu vigilantly.
The man's hands were empty, he twisted his fingertips and looked up at her.
Liu Anan became even more alert, his heart was in his throat, and he was even so careful that he took two steps back.
She was afraid that men would rob her.
You must not give it to him! You cannot give it to him even if you die!
The little girl's defense was too obvious. Chu Yu had no idea at all, just a veil. She protected her like this, but it made people care about it.
He stretched out his hand to the little girl openly and spread his palms.
"Give it."
