Chapter 209 Sleeping Together
In the quiet and warm room, the snow-white light outside the window shone on the ground, and the antique carved decorations exuded a faint fragrance.
When Lin Jiangnian woke up, he felt pain all over his body.
Headache, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, back pain... Almost all over his body was in great pain.
The intense and clear pain gradually made him conscious.
Not dead?
It seems not!
Before he fell into a coma, he vaguely remembered that a figure appeared in the blur.
So, he was saved?
Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes and looked at the carved building on the beam above his head. The decoration was exquisite. There was a faint fragrance in the room. The soft and silky bedding on his body was very valuable.
So, where is this?
Lin Jiangnian tried to get up, but he felt pain all over his body and was weak. His body was empty, and the strong internal force in the past disappeared.
Could it be... useless?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Jiangnian's face changed slightly.
He had worked hard to achieve this achievement, wouldn't it be a waste?
He wanted to verify it, but he couldn't muster the strength at the moment, and his head was even more dizzy, as if the sequelae of the toxicity of the flower grass were still there.
It was not easy to save his life this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian gave up.
Since he couldn't move, he might as well lie down and be done with it!
Lying on the bed, he looked at the room quietly.
At present, he didn't know where he was, but he could see that the owner here was very rich. Judging from the furnishings and decorations in the room, he was either rich or noble.
Through the window, there was a vague whiteness, and the room was warm as spring.
Just then, there was a sound of movement at the door, and footsteps approached.
"Squeak!"
The soft sound of pushing the door sounded, accompanied by a chill, and a figure walked into the room, closed the door, and walked behind the screen.
Before getting close, the faint scent of rouge on the woman came.
"You're awake?!"
A woman's surprised voice came to his ears, the voice was crisp and sweet, with a hint of excitement.
Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw a delicate woman in his sight.
She had willow-shaped eyebrows, a delicate face, and small and smart features. She was standing by the bed holding something, looking at Lin Jiangnian on the bed with surprise and curiosity.
"Who are you?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her.
"My name is Jinxiu!"
Jinxiu walked slowly to the bed, put the medicine in her hand aside, and looked at Lin Jiangnian on the bed with a smart and curious look.
"Did you save me?"
"No."
Jinxiu shook her head gently, her voice crisp and smart: "It's my master!"
"Who is your master?"
"You will know when the time comes."
Jinxiu smiled sweetly, but did not explain, but pointed to the medicine placed aside: "Master, drink the medicine first."
Lin Jiangnian glanced and did not move.
As if she saw something, Jinxiu smiled and said, "Sir, are you worried that it's poisonous?"
"That's not the case!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "I just can't move."
Jinxiu blinked, and then realized something: "It seems that the young master's injury is not light!"
As she said, Jinxiu walked forward slowly and sat down on the bed: "I'll help you up."
She looked petite and weak, but she had a lot of strength in her hands. She carefully helped Lin Jiangnian sit up.
Then, Jinxiu picked up the soup bowl next to her: "Since the young master can't move, I'll feed you!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the soup spoon at his mouth, and then looked at Jinxiu, who looked delicate, smiling, and looked like a big man who needed to drink medicine. He hesitated, but still opened his mouth.
The soup entered his stomach, and the effect of the medicine quickly evaporated in his body. Lin Jiangnian felt warm all over, and the pain in his body seemed to be relieved.
After feeding the medicine, Jinxiu put down the bowl, looked at Lin Jiangnian with eyes moving around, as if she was very interested in him.
Lin Jiangnian felt a little uncomfortable when she stared at him: "Miss Jinxiu, why are you looking at me like this?"
Jinxiu's eyes were moving, and she blinked: "Because the young master is handsome!"
Lin Jiangnian was speechless. It was the first time he saw such a straightforward and frank girl...
However, this girl's straightforward character made Lin Jiangnian appreciate her a little more.
He looked out the window: "How long have I been unconscious?"
Jinxiu thought for a while: "About five days!"
"Five days?"
Lin Jiangnian didn't expect that he would be unconscious for five days.
Being unconscious for such a long time is enough to show that his injury is serious this time.
So, where are the others?
Lin Jiangnian asked again: "Where is this?"
"Beijing!"
"Beijing?!"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned. In Beijing?
Then, where are Zhiyuan and the others?
Where are they now?
Lin Jiangnian was slightly worried, but he was seriously injured and could not move, so he had to give up.
"Who is your master?"
Lin Jiangnian remembered something and asked again.
However, Jinxiu still did not answer him. She smiled at Lin Jiangnian, her eyes were crystal clear, and she chuckled: "Young Master, you will know later."
After that, Jinxiu slowly stood up: "Although the poison in the young master's body has been cured, the injury is not light, and you need to rest. Young Master, take a good rest, I will not disturb you!"
Lin Jiangnian lay on the bed, half squinting his eyes, thinking about something.
Before he fainted, he remembered vaguely seeing a figure appear.
Is that the master mentioned by Jinxiu?
But why did he save himself?
Or is he the master who would take action at the critical moment mentioned by Lin Hengzhong?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but feel a little scared!
It was really a critical moment. If it was any later, he would have died! Lin Hengzhong's favor didn't seem very reliable...
However, no matter what, he survived after all.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had been in a coma for five days. According to calculations, Zhiyuan should have arrived in the capital long ago. Although Shen Lingjun had some grievances with him, she was indeed a kind-hearted chivalrous man who kept her word. In addition to her relationship with Zhiyuan, Lin Jiangnian was naturally relieved.
In this way, Lin Jiangnian had no worries at the moment. He was seriously injured now. After drinking the medicine, his whole body was warm, the pain was relieved, and he fell asleep again.
When he woke up, it was almost evening.
The pain in his whole body was much lessened, and he also recovered a lot of strength. Lin Jiangnian was able to sit up from the bed.
He struggled to get up and came to the door.
He pushed the door open, and the cold wind outside the door whistled in.
Lin Jiangnian wrapped his clothes and looked out the door.
What he saw was a white world.
Is it snowing?
No wonder it's so white outside the window!
What he saw was a white world.
The eaves were covered with a thick layer of snow, and ice fell down the eaves. In the yard in sight, snow hung on the branches of several locust trees.
It's winter!
It was still summer when he set out from Linjiang City, but now it has quietly entered winter!
As a southerner, Lin Jiangnian has rarely seen snow. The white snow world in front of him is extremely spectacular, and the gray sky is reflected by the white snow between the world.
Under the eaves not far away, footsteps suddenly came.
Turning his head, the maid named Jinxiu was walking lightly.
She called herself a maid, but the clothes on her body did not look like a maid. She looked extraordinary, wearing a brocade dress, wrapped in thick long fur, and a sweet smile, like innocence.
"Why did you come out, young master?"
Jinxiu approached and looked at him with a smile.
"Come out for some fresh air."
"Young master's body has not recovered yet, so be careful and don't catch a cold."
Jinxiu smiled and said.
"Thank you, Miss Jinxiu!"
Jinxiu shook her head gently: "Young master, there is no need to be polite, I am just following orders!"
"Whose orders?"
"My master!" Jinxiu replied.
"Your master asked you to take care of me?"
"That's right!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes flickered: "Do I know your master?"
Jinxiu thought for a while and shook her head gently: "I don't know either."
"Does your master know me?"
Jinxiu nodded.
Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly. He knew him, but he didn't know him?
Who exactly is Jinxiu's master?
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled, but Jinxiu didn't want to explain, so Lin Jiangnian didn't ask.
"Young Master has been unconscious for several days, I think he should be hungry, I have prepared food, please have dinner!"
Jinxiu said softly.
Lin Jiangnian nodded and followed Jinxiu to have dinner.
Along the way, Lin Jiangnian looked around. It can be seen that this is a quadrangle courtyard, the courtyard is very large, and the decorations in the courtyard are magnificent. It is a wealthy family at first glance.
But the strange thing is that there are not many servants in the whole mansion.
In fact, except for Jinxiu and a few maids, there are no other figures.
This is somewhat strange.
Such a large courtyard, the courtyard family must be rich or noble, but why is it so deserted in such a large courtyard?
The dinner was extremely rich. Even if only Lin Jiangnian was eating, the dishes were still rich and exquisite, which made Lin Jiangnian more convinced that the owner of this courtyard was not simple.
After dinner, Lin Jiangnian returned to the room.
The weather in Beijing was already very cold, with a raging wind. When it got dark, snow began to fall from the sky again. Snowflakes fell one by one, and after dark, there was silence all around.
After all, Lin Jiangnian's body had not recovered yet, and his body was empty, with almost no internal strength. The cold wind was biting, so he quickly returned to the room and lay back on the bed.
Not long after, Jinxiu came again.
She knocked on the door gently: "Sir, can I come in?"
Her voice was crisp and gentle, very polite.
"Come in."
Jinxiu pushed the door open and approached, holding another bowl of medicine in her hand.
"Sir, it's time to drink the medicine!"
Jinxiu walked to the bed with the medicine, looked at Lin Jiangnian who was sitting on the bed, and blinked.
When Lin Jiangnian was about to reach out to take it, Jinxiu was already holding the medicine, picked up the soup spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup and sent it to him: "Young Master, let me feed you."
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "I can do it myself."
Jinxiu blinked: "Young Master, are you disliking me?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her twice, seeing her innocent expression, her watery and smiling eyes, he was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Since the girl is willing to serve me, why would she not want to?"
Jinxiu blinked again, and then her face was full of sweet smiles: "That's good!"
As she said, she carefully and gently scooped the soup and came close to serve Lin Jiangnian to drink the medicine.
Lin Jiangnian cooperated very well, like a seriously injured patient who could not move, drinking the soup gently brought by 'Jinlian'.
After feeding, Jinxiu did not rush to leave, sitting lightly by the bed, looking at Lin Jiangnian with interest and curiosity.
"Sir, aren't you curious?"
"Curious about what?"
Jinxiu thought for a moment, "I can't really put it into words, but I feel like your reaction is too calm."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, "What do you think I should react to?"
"Sir, don't you want to ask something?"
"If I ask, will you tell me?"
Jinxiu blinked: "Not necessarily!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Then I'll stop asking."
"..."
Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Lin Jiangnian meaningfully and winked, then suddenly leaned a little closer and whispered softly: "Then, can I ask the young master a few questions?"
She suddenly came closer, and a faint scent of rouge approached, and Lin Jiangnian could smell it by looking sideways. It's very light, doesn't have that vulgar strong smell, and smells good.
Lin Jiangnian turned his head and stared at the delicate and delicate face in front of him, as well as the face that seemed to be always smiling, with indifferent eyes.
"What do you want to ask?"
"How old is the young master this year?"
"eighteen."
"Can we get married?"
"No."
"Do you have a sweetheart?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a while: "Yes."
Jinxiu seemed a little surprised and blinked: "Can I ask where the young master's sweetheart is now?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a while: "Which one are you asking about?"
"..."
The smile on Jinxiu's face froze obviously, as if she didn't expect Lin Jiangnian's answer.
After a while, he regained his smile, half-smiling but not smiling: "It seems that the young master is very affectionate, right?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Men, after all, they are more philanthropic!"
"That's right, the young master is handsome, much better looking than the other famous young masters in the capital. Naturally, there is no shortage of confidante around him, right?"
Jinxiu said, but her tone was meaningful.
Lin Jiangnian still sighed: "I can't help it. It's easy to be remembered and spread rumors when I look like me..."
Jinxiu smiled more and more, "Can the young master's confidante be regarded as his sweetheart?"
"Why doesn't it count?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her seriously and said firmly: "I am sincere to everyone."
"..."
This time Jinxiu was stunned for a while before regaining her smile, covering her mouth and laughing: "Young master's theory... this is the first time I have heard of it."
First time hearing about it?
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, she was still too young and too naive!
Someone like her can deceive several people a day!
"That……"
Jinxiu stared at Lin Jiangnian for a few times, then suddenly moved closer again: "Master, what do you think of me?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Girl, what do you mean by this?"
Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian with a slightly dazed look, and chuckled: "Young Master also said that it is rare to see someone as handsome as Young Master in the world. It is not easy to meet one, so naturally you can't let it go..."
"Since the young master has many beauties and confidantes, would you mind having one more of them join me?"
Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian with full eyes, as if gazing at autumn water, moving and seductive.
"?"
Deliver it to your door?
Lin Jiangnian looked at her carefully: "Are you serious?"
The beautiful bright eyes, the sweet smile, the delicate outline: "That's natural. The slave family has been alone in the empty room for a long time. It's not easy to meet someone as handsome as the young master, so naturally he doesn't want to miss it. If the young master doesn't dislike it, the slave family..."
"Dislike it? How can you dislike it?"
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Jiangnian suddenly lifted the quilt aside and said impatiently: "Then come quickly!"
Jinxiu was stunned: "Sir, this is..."
She didn't understand Lin Jiangnian's sudden behavior.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be my confidante? What are you waiting for?" Lin Jiangnian waved to her and patted the side.
Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian's opened quilt, her head confused: "What... does this have to do with being a confidante?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Lin Jiangnian explained seriously: "Don't confidantes sleep together? Since you want to be my confidante, why are you still standing there... The quilt is warm. Don't waste such a good time and beautiful scenery..."
With that said, Lin Jiangnian grabbed her wrist. The smile on Jinxiu's face froze immediately, and then she became extremely panicked: "Mr., Master, please don't..."
She never expected that Lin Jiangnian would drag her to sleep if they disagreed?
What kind of confidante wants to sleep together?
Why hasn't she heard of it? !
Why did this young man take action? !
A blush quickly appeared on Jinxiu's pretty face, and she was no longer as calm and calm as before. Especially the wrist grabbed by Lin Jiangnian, a wave of heat surged down the wrist. She shook it off in panic, as if shaking off a poisonous snake.
"Hey, why don't you come...wait, where are you going...don't go..."
In Lin Jiangnian's anxious and regretful voice, Jinxiu ran away without looking back.
After Jinxiu completely fled the room, the smile on Lin Jiangnian's face disappeared slightly.
The little girl played the trick of seduction with him.
Still tender!
but……
Why did she do this?
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were slightly confused, always feeling a little strange.
This maid named Jinxiu is strange, and the master behind her... who is it?
…
outside the room.
Jinxiu fled in despair.
He returned to his room and closed the door. He leaned against the door with his face flushed, his heart pounding, his breathing rapid, and his eyes filled with shame and anger.
He retracted his hand that was grabbed just now into his sleeve and covered it on his chest. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The crimson face seemed to be thinking of something, and its eyes gradually became angry.
"It's really not a good thing!"
She gritted her teeth.
"Fortunately, I discovered it early. On the surface, I look like a human being, but my true nature was exposed when I tried it..."
Thinking of this, Jinxiu looked a little more worried.
At this moment, she realized something, her expression changed slightly, she opened the door and walked out.
On the eaves corridor outside the door, there is a figure in white.
The white clothes are better than the snow, and they seem to blend into one in this cold snowy day.
"Princess!"
Jinxiu quickly approached.
The figure in white nodded slightly, and when he was about to speak, he saw something wrong with her face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"No, it's okay..."
A trace of panic flashed in Jinxiu's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head. Thinking of something else, he approached the princess and gritted his teeth.
"Princess, this slave has already tested it for you..."
"The Prince Lin is indeed as rumored... not a good person!"
"You must not be deceived by him!!"
"..."
