Chapter 45: Intuition Is Accurate
"Hey, what are you doing?!" After Wen Nuan landed, she called out in dissatisfaction.
She just wanted to put the little happy finch back into the nest on the tree.
"If you want to eat persimmons, let other people pick them, don't climb the tree yourself."
The persimmon tree is old and its branches are already brittle.
Wen Nuan spread out the palm of her hand to reveal the little chick: "I just wanted 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 this: "That's not how you climb trees."
He grabbed the chick in her hand, jumped, and put it back into the nest on the tree.
"Well, I picked two persimmons on the way." She really wanted to eat some.
The basket of persimmons he sent home was red and sweet, and they were delicious.
Nalan Jinnian smoothly gathered a bunch of persimmons and handed them to her, with a smile in his icy eyes, as if he were laughing at her for clearly wanting to eat them, but using the bird as an excuse.
Wen Nuan casually took the persimmons, picked up one, and directly broke it into two halves with her hands. The orange flesh was crystal clear, the juice was radiant, and the luster was attractive.
Wen Nuan bit straight into it, the taste was sweet and mellow: "It's so sweet, do you want some?"
Wen Nuan looked up at someone, and handed the other half of the persimmon to him.
Nalan Jinnian did not move, just looked at her.
In this luxuriant yet cold autumn season, clusters and clusters of persimmons hung on rugged branches, red like small lanterns.
Under the persimmon tree, a girl in the plainest of blue coarse cloth closed her limpid autumn water eyes in satisfaction, then raised her head, her long eyelashes sweeping up like a fan, and she opened her bright, intelligent eyes to look up at him.
Those clear eyes are dark and bright, as lively as a sea of stars, lighting up the deserted mountain and dispelling the bleakness of late autumn.
I don’t know if it's the clusters of fiery red persimmons that illuminates the mountains, or her bright eyes that were like limpid autumn waters.
"Don't eat it?" she asked again. Wen Nuan's hand stretched out a bit higher, and she held half a persimmon up to his eyes.
Nalan Jinnian looked at the reddish orange half persimmon filled with sweet juice before his eyes. He could tell at first glance that it was very sweet.
He has never liked sweets, but looking at the girl’s clear eyes, asking so earnestly, her intention clean and transparent.
There is no admiration that he is used to, no cautious ingratiation, no shyness, no flinching, she is frank and open, natural, pure and beautiful.
He leaned down like a ghost, and took a bite. His lips even accidentally touched her fingertips.
The sweet, soft ,and waxy persimmon is full of flavor. It slides from the tip of the tongue along the throat to the stomach. It is sweet and refreshing all the way, and finally the sweetness overflows in the heart, as if time has dyed it with a touch of sweetness.
Feeling a touch of softness against her fingertips, Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, he had unexpectedly lowered his head to eat!
She said in a bad mood: "Hold it, and finish eating it by herself! Do you want to be fed when you're already this big? It's not that you have no hands!”
"I only have one hand. Besides, I will get my hands dirty."
He actually doesn’t like to eat this little thing. He always thought that it was too sweet and too rich. Now he still thinks it’s too sweet and too rich, but it's also delicious.
So, even though he said that, he took the half persimmon that he had bitten, and finished eating.
"One hand is also a hand! Can't you wash it if it's dirty?" Wen Nuan muttered, then walked away to wash her own hands.
...
At the other end, Steward Yuan sent Guo Mingyan and the other two off.
Seeing that Guo Mingyan's mood was a little depressed, Li Bing comforted her: "Miss Guo, don't be sad, Prince Jin has always had high demands. But you have already done very well! If it weren't for you this time, how could we make the crossbow shoot twenty continuous arrows? Looking at the entire Nalan Kingdom, I believe that no one except you can figure it out in a few days."
Prince Jin doesn’t understand what it is to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex, he is so rude to a girl!
Guo Mingyan is very talented in weapon design, and her martial arts ability is high, and she is beautiful. The soldiers in the barracks like her very much, and Li Bing admires her too.
Steward Yuan also felt that his master was too harsh. Miss Guo has a noble background, with both civil and military lineage, and she is beautiful in appearance. In terms of ability and bravery, she is simply a woman who is equal to men in every way. She would be one of the candidates for Princess Consort Jin in the future. The Empress Dowager also has this intention, so he comforted her and said: "The master always requires perfection in everything. Miss Guo is so powerful. I believe that within a few days, you will definitely be able to develop a crossbow that is more powerful than the Xirong people's."
Guo Mingyan didn’t care about this at all. She had long been used to Seventeenth Lord's indifference toward her anyway, he treated everyone the same.
But something felt wrong this time, so she couldn't help but inquire: "Steward Yuan, who was that girl next to Seventeenth Lord? Seventeenth Lord seemed to be so partial to her. "
"She is a peasant girl from the foot of the mountain. She came here to help my master. Therefore, the master naturally treats her a little bit more favorably."
Guo Mingyan’s intuition was not wrong: "Help Seventeenth Lord? A peasant girl can have medical skills? Young Master Feng cannot do anything about Seventeenth Lord's hand, right? How can she?"
"She said that she happened to have encountered this kind of poison before, and she knew acupuncture and moxibustion, so she knows how to treat it."
Guo Mingyan didn’t believe this at all: “How can there be so many coincidences in this world? The poison in Seventeenth Lord's hand is too strange. A peasant girl of unknown origin can heal his hand, and make Seventeenth Lord believe it too? I don't think this sounds right. Steward Yuan, Seventeenth Lord is keen to restore his hand, so he trusts the girl, but you must be on your guard! I don't know why, I just have a bad feeling when I see her."
Steward 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 instinct is very accurate. She saved the lives of a group of soldiers on the battlefield once.
And a peasant girl who understands medical skills is indeed unusual. If it is a saboteur from another country...
Steward Yuan dare not think about it anymore.
If it is really so, then that little girl is too good, and hides too deep!
He became vigilant unconsciously.
Lin Tingxuan frowned: "The girl doesn't look like that the kind of deep-minded person."
"Tingxuan, do you know her?"
"We've only met once."
Guo Mingyan smiled, and shook her head: "Really capable! You believe her just like that!"
Lin Tingxuan: "..."
Steward Yuan's eyelids twitched even more!
At this moment, Nalan Jinnian's voice came from behind, and the three of them couldn't help turning their heads. They saw a silver-gray figure performing light work, he jumped into the air and grabbed the girl.
Then he spoke to the girl reproachfully.
To the three of them, the tone of this reproach was full of worry, and it has never been heard from Nalan Jinnian before.
Who has ever made Prince Jin worry, this person who has always had an indifferent temperament?
Don’t know what the girl said, but he jumped again, and picked a bunch of red fruits for her.
Not only that, the two also shared a persimmon.
A tall figure in silver-gray, brocade and jade robes, a petite and exquisite figure in coarse cloth, the picture is so strange, but it makes people feel that it is both harmonious and beautiful.
Guo Mingyan is deeply stimulated! That cheap maid was so brazen she took the initiative to feed Prince Jin persimmons!
How is she not embarrassed to do such an intimate thing? Shameless!
Guo Mingyan felt a sense of crisis that she has never experienced before, and her instinct has always been accurate!
She glanced at Steward Yuan, who was also stunned, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Seventeenth Lord is confused by her, he cannot recognize east, south, west, and north anymore.”
Steward Yuan: "..."
Steward Yuan sent the three away anxiously.
Back to the study, the two of them had already entered the secret room for acupuncture. He stayed outside, wishing to go in and stare closely.
It's just that he didn't dare to bother, so he could only wait outside anxiously.
