MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 31
Damn, this kid's physique is just like the devil.
Li Ergou turned around, not daring to look at Aishwana's body at all, as if it was the fuse that lured people into committing crimes.
Before long, the girl changed into a maid uniform and appeared in front of him.
And Li Ergou was still wearing the white shirt, the slave suit should have been thrown away, so at the moment he can only wear a white shirt and a pair of trousers.
"Let's go."
Stretching out her arm, Aishwana immediately put it on and wrapped it tightly. After leaving the room, she walked in the winding corridor of the palace. The palace is very big. Not surprising either.
The interior decoration here is really extravagant, you can see all kinds of paintings and precious statues everywhere, the carpets that go straight to the promenade are very soft to step on, and the cream-white walls are carved with elegant reliefs.
"Second dog, the sunset has set!"
Aishwana looked out the window and cried like a child.
"Yeah, it's beautiful."
The dim sunset gradually fell, and the sky gradually became darker, making people feel a little cold.
At this moment, the fountain outside splashed a water column of more than four meters high, and the lights outside illuminated the entire garden. Even in the dark night, you could see the beauty of the flower garden outside the house at any time. Li Ergou roughly recognized Peony, Roses, irises, tulips and other flowers, but the rest of the more flowers are not recognized.
"It should be quite far from the town."
"Well, yes, Ergou. If we want to go to the town, we usually have to take a carriage. It takes about forty minutes to go back and forth."
Li Ergou nodded.
Under the guidance of Aishwana, they finally came to the splendid dining room downstairs.
"How is it, are you still used to living there, Li?"
The blond girl sitting in front of the long table held her head high, and now she was not wearing the black trench coat that she had met during the day, but a light blue evening dress with fragrant shoulders. Inexpensive necklace.
The maids and attendants next to them elegantly presented the meals like ballet dancers. The men in dresses sat in front of the piano and played cheerful and clear tunes. On the white tablecloth were neatly placed silver plates, red wine, Goblet and polished knife and fork, branch-shaped candle holder blooming faint Huaguang.
He calmly glanced at the splendid restaurant and said with a dry smile:
"If I can't live in a place like this, then I'm so delicate. Don't worry, I live here very peacefully."
After all, Li Ergou sat upright in the guest seat, and Aishwana sat beside him.
Tonight's menu is very rich, from left are lamb chops braised with raisins and onions, honey quail, pork marinated with almonds, cloves and cinnamon, trout soup, grilled sturgeon, butter peas, cream of mushroom soup, etc. More than ten dishes…
Seeing such a scene, Aishwana couldn't help but feel a little nervous, while Li Ergou was generous, her back was never attached to the backrest, and she elegantly tied a napkin, showing no flaws in her performance.
"Is the red wine from Latour Village okay?" Miss Ivy asked with a slight forehead.
"Miss, I don't know much about red wine. If you entertain an alcoholic like me, even if you take the cheapest and worst low-quality beer, I can drink it."
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Ivy's mouth, and under her instructions, the maid beside her quickly poured awake red wine for Li Ergou and Aishwana.
"cheers."
Li Ergou and Aishwana picked up the cups and clinked with Ivy.
"How does it taste?"
"Soft and mellow, with a lingering fragrance in the mouth." Li Ergou smiled politely.
"This is not the quality an alcoholic should have. By the way, don't you ask the price of red wine?"
"I never talk about money at the dinner table, miss."
Li Ergou folded his hands in an elegant manner.
"Try these delicacies. This sturgeon was caught from the east coast. It took me a lot of work. After saving you from those troops, I have been looking forward to meeting you for dinner."
The black-haired man's waist was always straight, the knife and fork in his hand nimbly cut the fish meat in front of him, and then put it into his mouth, and then Li Ergou took another bite of foie gras and lettuce in sauce, and the umami and richness of the platter of caviar and sea urchin. The mellow aroma of the soup is constantly impacting the taste buds, and the craftsmanship is probably not much inferior to that of the imperial chef.
A hint of doubt flashed in Ivy's eyes, and his behavior was beyond her expectations.
"Li, are you from a noble family? If I remember correctly, there is a prince among the aristocrats surnamed Li in the Dongzhou Empire, right?"
"Sorry, Miss, I don't know anything about high society. The person sitting in front of you is just a grass-roots citizen." Li Ergou said with a faint smile.
"Caomin? You don't behave like a caomin. Even among the people I know, I can't find a few more noble than you. By the way, is Ergou really your real name?" Ivy Jingjing Staring at Li Ergou's expression, the black-haired man was calm and indifferent, unaffected by language.
"It's my real name, Miss. In our country, it's easier to support yourself with such a mean name, so as a child of a poor family, it's natural to have such a name."
Chapter 9 Hated by a certain maid
"It turns out that you were born in poverty."
Butterfly-like eyelashes blinked slightly, and a pampered smile floated on the corner of Ivy's mouth. As a noble and elegant blond beauty, she even enjoyed eating food while using a knife and fork. There was no doubt that she was genuine. Nobility in the sense.
And what surprised Li Ergou the most was that Ivy was very young, at least much younger than himself, probably not yet twenty years old, and perhaps not necessarily the same age as Aishwana.
"I said, Miss, don't you look down on children from poor families?"
"How could it be?" Ivy shook the glass, the red wine exuding bursts of fragrance, "To be honest, I do look down on most poor people, but not because they were born poor, but because They are self-deprecating and blame others. People of that level are not worthy of sympathy even if they become pariahs forever. Of course, I do not only despise commoners, those pretentious aristocrats are really annoying, especially those who have no ability. But people who like to show off everywhere make me feel sick."
That malicious smile revealed the ferocity hidden under Miss Ivy's elegant and bright appearance. The character is similar to that of a grinning wolf. Maybe others can't see her hidden personality, but Li Ergou, who is also a beast, can. Clearly judged the key point—Ivy was of the same kind as herself.
It is possible that she recruited herself because of the illusion of mutual sympathy among the same kind.
But Li Ergou also knows a truth, that is, same-sex repulsion. Maybe one day in the future, this eldest lady may become an enemy with herself, and I hope that day will never come.
"Don't be surprised, dear Li. To be honest, I really appreciate you, even if you are a civilian, it doesn't matter. The man who protects his companions in the slave arena and fights against a hundred is undoubtedly a true meaning. Aristocrat, and you are so ignorant that you dare to laugh at the powerful and give us the middle finger, this really suits my appetite, I believe that after my polishing, you will definitely become a razor that can clear all obstacles for me, I believe me eyes."
"I also hope you don't praise me too much, I'm just a mortal."
"Mortals? People who call themselves mortals have created extraordinary feats, and I'm sure you have the same."
Li Ergou felt a little helpless.
"cheers."
The goblets collided again, and Li Ergou drank fine wine with Miss Ivy alone. Although Aishwana was also sitting at the same table, she seemed to be an outsider, including the maid who also sat at the long table. , The attendants also kept strangely quiet. Apart from the piano accompaniment, there seemed to be only Li Ergou and Ivy here.
At this moment, the blond eldest lady's pretty face was dyed with a blush, which was particularly moving under the faint candlelight.
"If I don't have a fiancé, maybe I'll try to pursue you, maybe not."
Li Ergou smiled embarrassedly, these words were spoken by a girl like Ivy with great lethality, but Li Ergou could still distinguish between jokes and serious words.
But some people couldn't tell the difference. Aishwana gently grasped Li Ergou's hand as if facing a great enemy, and the pink-haired maid standing beside Ivy also cast a sharp-edged gaze. The maid with a long sword around her waist was also a rare beauty in terms of temperament, but what surprised Li Ergou most was not her appearance, but the aura she exuded all over her body.
What is certain is that this woman is definitely not weak, and at the same time, she seems to be full of hostility towards herself.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, Miss, but Miss, do you think too much of this man?"
The pink-haired maid stood up and said in a cold tone.
"Shalena, are you questioning my vision?"
Ivy said in an inaudible tone.
"No, how could it be? All the instructions of the eldest lady are the supreme decree for us, but this man..."
The maid hesitated, then glared at Li Ergou, seemingly dissatisfied with Li Ergou.
Li Ergou didn't know why he was regarded as a thorn in the eyes of this strange lady, so he had to shrug:
"Miss really looks down on people like me too much. In fact, I'm really just a mortal. On this point, I think you are right. You look down on me, despise me, and despise me. The most correct attitude for a person like me."
Staring at the dark-haired man's deep, ancient well-like smile made the pink-haired maid Xia Lena even more annoyed, and the unpleasant memories rekindled.
As the father of the first swordsman, he reached the top of the Western Continent with swords in the Western Continent. The proud father was supposed to be a great swordsman who carried forward his swordsmanship, but the proud father finally fell. In the pool of blood, the blood oozing from the wound on his chest announced the final and irreversible ending of his father.
The man standing in front of his father was a black-haired man. He was not the most famous swordsman in Dongzhou, and he was not even famous. He was just a passing swordsman in Dongzhou:
"What kind of swordsmanship did you use?"
His dying father asked.
"What kind of swordsmanship do you use? This is just the most common swordsmanship in our Eastern Continent, sir."
The swordsman said indifferently, that over the years, the swordsman's appearance has been blurred, but the dark eyes of the ancient well left a deep impression on her.
The black-haired Dongzhou people's unshakable eyes became her nightmare. She hated the Dongzhou people's unassuming personality, and the Dongzhou people who were obviously powerful but liked to be humble.
What made her even more unacceptable was that the eldest lady seemed to appreciate the Dongzhou person in front of her, which made her even more unacceptable, who was already disgusted with Li Ergou.
"Miss, I beg you to let me have a test with this man, I need to let your new subordinate understand the rules of the house, this is the duty that your maid Xia Leina should do. "
The light blue eyes are full of fighting flames, she wants to use her strength to let the eldest lady see who is her most worthy subordinate.
Ivy looked at Li Ergou calmly:
"Mr. Li, what do you think?"
"If this lady thinks that beating me will make me happy, then I am willing to show my left cheek at any time. If the lady thinks it is not enough, I will show my right cheek." Li Ergou narrowed slightly. With black eyes, he said with a mocking gesture.
The pink-haired maid clenched her fists, and the next second, the sharp sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at Li Ergou's neck. The speed was surprisingly fast, and it was no exaggeration to even become a sword of shock.
"You don't run away?"
"I really can't dodge, Miss, your sword is too fast, I can't dodge at all."
"Then why don't you blink or even show a panicked expression? Or did you know from the beginning that I would not cut your neck with a sword?" The maid with a long sword bit her lips and asked coldly road.
"That's because my nerves are too dull, and it's only now that I realize that you are going to cut me with a sword."
"After your injury is completely healed, I will have a good fight with you. Before that, you wash my neck and wait."
"Okay, just don't know if you want me to wash my neck with mint soap, or vanilla?"
Li Ergou kept a polite but graceful smile from beginning to end.
Chapter 10 Going Out
After about two days, Li Ergou's injury has almost recovered. When Li Ergou laughed two days ago, the wound would be a little painful, but now the pain is not so obvious.
"Er Gou, it feels like you're about to recover, that's great!"
Aishwana smiled like a little angel, and for a moment, Li Ergou even thought that she must be the messenger sent by the gods to save him.
He was moved to tears when he thought that Aishwana had been taking care of herself conscientiously these days.
Especially when she sometimes worries that she is too full, and often prepares vomiting-inducing food for herself, where can such a good girl be found?
"Aishwana, thanks to your meticulous care these days, thank you."
"Er Gou, what are you talking about? Isn't it right for me to take care of you? I'm your fiancee!" Aishwana said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"You will definitely be a good mother in the future."
"good mom…"
Hearing Li Ergou's compliment, the cat's face immediately turned a blush, as if thinking of the process he had to go through before becoming a mother.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a mosquito-like whisper:
"Actually, the main credit is due to the medical skills of Sister Da Linna."
"Dalina's medical skills are indeed very white."
"?"
"No, I mean her thighs are really superb!"
Aishwana frowned, and her bulging face seemed to express her anger, but unfortunately, a girl like her was not deterrent when she was angry, but instead, her cuteness was even higher.
In order to express her "anger", she pounced on Li Ergou lying on the bed like a vicious cat. Before Li Ergou could react, her sturdy legs wrapped in white knee-high stockings suddenly folded. He touched Li Ergou's waist, his big cat-like green eyes stared at Li Ergou's white arm as white as a girl, and then deliberately avoided the wound and pinched it.
"Er Gou, you are such a person, I, I really misunderstood you."
Li Ergou cried out for help, but there was a doting smile on the corner of his mouth from beginning to end.
Aishwana wasn't really angry either. The reason was that the force of her pinching didn't hurt at all. It was not so much punishing herself as she was acting like a spoiled brat.
The injury is almost healed, which is indeed something to celebrate. This means that Li Ergou can repay his gratitude as soon as possible with a healthy body. After the repayment is over, he can take Aishwana away to a foreign country, and he will no longer be concerned about the world.
But it's not necessarily a good thing when the injury is healed. For example, two days ago, Li Ergou promised to have a showdown with the maid Xia Leina.
In these few short days, Li Ergou also inquired about the details of Xia Lena from Aishwana. Her family is a famous swordsman family in Xizhou Continent. Her father was the first swordsman in Xizhou Continent. It's a pity that the halberd fell into the sand in Dongzhou later.
And the talent that Xia Leina shows now is not inferior to her father. She has mastered many sword skills that even adults can't reach at a young age, but mastering high-level sword skills at a young age is not all good. Show Yu Lin Feng will destroy it, beware that when a proud person encounters setbacks, the blow will increase exponentially.
"Er dog, in a few days, are you sure?"
Aishwana asked in a low voice.
